5 00:00:35 -Well, I expect it'll cloud over later on.-[ferryman] Aye.
6 00:00:40 What's going on at Sutton Hoo, then?
7 00:00:43 [man] There's a ladywho's got an excavating job.
8 00:00:49 -Ah, thank you kindly. Mind how you go.-Thank you.

13 00:01:33 [doorbell clicks, rings]
14 00:01:39 Mornin'. Mrs. Pretty, please.
15 00:01:43 Basil Brown.
16 00:01:45 Wait here.
17 00:02:03 [piano theme fades]
18 00:02:06 -Should we take a look at them, then?-[Brown] Right.
19 00:02:13 Things like thisare usually done through museums.
20 00:02:17 [Pretty] Yes.But when I approached Ipswich,
21 00:02:20 Mr. Reid Moir saidthat, with the war coming,
22 00:02:22 they couldn't embark uponany new ventures.
23 00:02:24 [Brown] Well, they have their hands fullwith a Roman villa.
24 00:02:27 -Yes. He said you were working on it.-[Brown] I am.
25 00:02:30 He told me you were a difficult man.
26 00:02:32 [chuckles] Did he, now?
27 00:02:34 Unorthodox… and untrained.
28 00:02:38 [Brown] Hmm.So that's his reference, is it?
29 00:02:40 [chuckles] Well, I'm… I'm not untrained.
30 00:02:42 I've been on digsince I was old enough to hold a trowel.
31 00:02:46 [sighs] My father taught me.
32 00:02:49 Perhaps Reid Moirjust wants to keep you for himself.
33 00:02:52 -[Brown] I don't know about that.-[both chuckle]
34 00:02:55 [Brown] I've always had a curiosityto see these here mounds.
35 00:03:00 -Henry VIII came here to dig.-[Pretty] So I'm told.
36 00:03:03 [Brown] Well, no record of what he found.
37 00:03:06 [Pretty]My husband and I bought this land,
38 00:03:08 with the hope of exploringwhat was under there.
39 00:03:10 -But… Well, best-laid plans.-[Brown chuckles]
40 00:03:14 [Pretty] What are they?Would you hazard a guess?
41 00:03:17 [Brown] Burial mounds, I expect.
42 00:03:20 We're standingin someone's graveyard, I reckon.
43 00:03:24 Viking…
44 00:03:27 or maybe older.
45 00:03:30 Apparently, local girls used to lie downon them in the hope of falling pregnant.
46 00:03:33 [Brown chuckles]
47 00:03:34 I've heard plenty of legends.
48 00:03:38 Is that why you want to dig, Mrs. Pretty?
49 00:03:41 Tales of buried treasure?
50 00:03:45 My interestin archaeology began like yours,
51 00:03:48 when I was scarcely old enoughto hold a trowel.
52 00:03:51 My childhood homewas built on a Cistercian convent.
53 00:03:54 I helped my father excavate the apse.
54 00:03:58 That speaks, don't it?
55 00:04:01 The past.
56 00:04:05 You have rabbits, Mrs. Pretty.
57 00:04:07 Yes, I am aware of that. [chuckles]
58 00:04:10 [Brown] Rabbits burrow.
59 00:04:11 They're bad for excavations.
60 00:04:14 I'd like to start with this one.
61 00:04:16 [Brown] Ah, I wouldn't startwith this one, Mrs. Pretty,
62 00:04:18 not personally speaking.
63 00:04:20 -[Pretty] Why not?-'Cause that dips in the middle, see?
64 00:04:25 And the soil feels-- That's compacted.
65 00:04:28 Thieves used to sink shafts in.
66 00:04:31 Robber's flutes, they're called.
67 00:04:34 Anything they foundwould've been melted down
68 00:04:36 and sold long ago.
69 00:04:38 I expect you might be better off with…
70 00:04:41 one of these.
71 00:04:43 But I have a feeling about this one.
72 00:04:45 [Brown]Well, that's your money, Mrs. Pretty,
73 00:04:47 but I'd base your dig on evidence,
74 00:04:49 not feeling.
75 00:04:54 [Pretty] As for money,would 1 pound, 15 shillings,
76 00:04:56 and 6 pence a week be acceptable?
77 00:04:58 Oh…
78 00:05:00 -No.-[Pretty] I asked Reid Moir what he pays.
79 00:05:03 -That was his reply.-Well, he don't pay enough.
80 00:05:06 -[footsteps approach]-[Pretty] All right.
81 00:05:08 I'm afraid that's allI can reasonably afford to spend.
82 00:05:10 -[boy shouting]-[Brown] Right, then. Understood.
83 00:05:12 Robert, where did you get that gas mask?Take it off.
84 00:05:17 -Sorry, I didn't realize you were---This is not a toy.
85 00:05:19 Robert, this is Mr. Brown.
86 00:05:21 -Hello there, young man.-[Robert] Robert Pretty. How do you do?
87 00:05:25 Who's coming after you?
88 00:05:26 -Captain Laska and his gangsters.-[Brown] Oh!
89 00:05:29 -[Pretty] Mr. Brown is an archaeologist.-Well, I'm an excavator.
90 00:05:33 -You've come to dig up the mounds?-[Brown] Well…
91 00:05:36 I'm afraid not. Uh, not today.
92 00:05:40 Excuse me.
93 00:05:41 [Robert sighs]
94 00:05:44 -Good luck with your gangsters, Robert.-[Robert chuckles] Thank you.
95 00:05:48 [Brown] And you, with your dig, ma'am.
96 00:05:54 -[wind whistling]-[birds calling]
97 00:06:01 [Brown sighs]
98 00:06:09 Ah, blast.
99 00:06:15 [car approaching]
100 00:06:20 [brakes squeak]
101 00:06:26 -Mr. Brown?-Yes?
102 00:06:28 Billy Lyons. Uh, uh, from Mrs. Pretty.
103 00:06:31 All right.
104 00:06:33 Hmm.
105 00:06:38 [sighs, clicks tongue]
106 00:06:41 [bright orchestral music playing]
107 00:06:43 Tell her Monday, 8:00 sharp.
108 00:06:48 [Brown] I won't workfor less than two pound a week.
109 00:06:51 And it's too far to bike,if you want a day's digging.
110 00:06:54 [Pretty] You could lodge with the Lyonsesin the coach house.
111 00:06:57 Mr. Lyons is my chauffeur,
112 00:06:58 and Mrs. Lyonsis in charge of the kitchen.
113 00:07:01 -[Brown sighs] Well, I'll need help.-[Pretty] I could let you have one man.
114 00:07:06 [Brown] Two would be better.
115 00:07:09 [Pretty] I'm glad we could cometo an arrangement after all, Mr. Brown.
116 00:07:15 John Jacobs and Mr. Spoonerare bringing the shepherd's hut.
117 00:07:19 I thought it might be usefulin case of inclement weather.
118 00:07:22 Oh, that's very considerate.
119 00:07:27 My son Robertis keen to assist you in any way.
120 00:07:30 If you find his presence irksome--
121 00:07:33 Oh, no, no, no. He can come.
122 00:07:35 You'll start with this one?
123 00:07:38 [Brown] Yeah.
124 00:07:40 I reckon we can forgetthat larger mound, Mrs. Pretty.
125 00:07:44 This one here,that's where we'll find something.
126 00:07:48 Well, shan't hold you up.[chuckles softly]
127 00:07:54 [Brown] Thank you kindly.
128 00:08:02 If you ask me, the man should leaveMrs. Pretty's mounds well alone.
129 00:08:17 [Brown grunts]
130 00:08:32 [panting]
131 00:08:42 [seagulls crying]
132 00:08:57 -[maid] Thank you, ma'am.-[Pretty] Great, dear. Thank you.
133 00:09:01 Darling, please be gentle.You'll knock me down.
134 00:09:04 [Robert]I'm sorry. Mr. Brown says to come.
135 00:09:07 -Now?-[Robert] Yes.
136 00:09:10 Well, thank you for the message.
137 00:09:12 Well, it looks like the kind of trayyou get at a butcher's.
138 00:09:15 And there's some blackness here,maybe indicating a fire was made.
139 00:09:20 Who are those men?
140 00:09:22 [Pretty] They're from the Ipswich Museum.Mr. Reid Moir telephoned me.
141 00:09:25 He wanted to see how thingswere progressing, so I invited him.
142 00:09:28 Mrs. Pretty,this is Guy Maynard, our new curator.
143 00:09:32 -How do you do?-[Pretty] Hello.
144 00:09:33 Hello, Brown.
145 00:09:34 Maynard. Can I borrow you,please, for this here corner?
146 00:09:38 Jolly good.
147 00:09:40 [Brown] One.
148 00:09:42 -You have it? Two.-[Maynard] Yeah.
149 00:09:45 -[Brown] Three! Blast.-[Maynard grunts]
150 00:09:48 Is that the sum of your labors?
151 00:09:52 [Brown] Excuse me.
152 00:09:59 [tool clatters]
153 00:10:02 [somber orchestral music playing]
154 00:10:10 [indistinct chatter]
155 00:10:13 [Reid Moir] I must urge you, Mrs. Pretty,to support our Roman villa.
156 00:10:18 War is looming.
157 00:10:19 All hands are on deckto excavate before hostilities begin.
158 00:10:23 And so,we must ask you to return Mr. Brown.
159 00:10:28 I'd like him to finish what he's started.
160 00:10:30 [Reid Moir chuckles] We may have foundthe largest Roman villa
161 00:10:34 north of Felixstowe.
162 00:10:35 It's of far greater import,if… if you'll forgive me, than this…
163 00:10:40 minor venture.
164 00:10:42 -Then the choice is Mr. Brown's.-Excuse me.
165 00:10:45 Time had altered that piece of wood
166 00:10:48 to compacted sand.
167 00:10:50 I didn't guess its age correctly.
168 00:10:53 I speculated Viking,but I think that's older.
169 00:10:57 -Anglo-Saxon.-That's most unlikely, Brown.
170 00:10:59 We should-- We need you back at the villa.That's what I'm here to say, and…
171 00:11:03 and Mrs. Pretty has released you.
172 00:11:07 I have said it is your choice.
173 00:11:10 Well, then I'll stay.
174 00:11:12 Thank you kindly, ma'am.
175 00:11:16 Excuse me.
176 00:11:17 Now, look here, Brown.
177 00:11:19 You've made your point.You can have two pounds a week.
178 00:11:21 We'll give you a few daysto finish off here,
179 00:11:23 and then,as we're the only museum in the area,
180 00:11:25 I'd carefully considerwhere your future lies.
181 00:11:32 Understood.
182 00:11:32 [Robert] Mr. Brown's been telling usall sorts of things.
183 00:11:35 For instance,what's the most important part
184 00:11:37 of an archaeologist's body?
185 00:11:39 -I don't know.-[clock chiming]
186 00:11:42 His nose.
187 00:11:44 If there's something there,he'll know it by the smell.
188 00:11:53 You're going to see your fatherthis afternoon?
189 00:11:58 I… I'm afraid I'm needed here.
190 00:12:01 -Um, please, may I get down?-If you're quite sure you've finished.
191 00:12:10 [sighs deeply]
192 00:12:13 [somber piano music playing]
193 00:12:23 [takes a deep breath]
194 00:12:32 [indistinct chatter]
195 00:12:35 [soldiers clamoring, muffled]
196 00:13:28 [Pretty sighs]
197 00:13:32 [breathing heavily]
198 00:13:36 [man] Boiled beef…
199 00:13:38 on a hot day like this is unlikelyto agree with anyone, Mrs. Lyons.
200 00:13:43 [Pretty] It was exactly like last time.
201 00:13:45 [doctor] Mrs. Pretty, you produceall this acid because you're a worrier.
202 00:13:50 We've spoken on this subject before.
203 00:13:53 -You must learn to stop worrying.-[sighs]
204 00:13:56 [doctor]Otherwise, you'll give yourself an ulcer.
205 00:13:59 -Well… if that's what you think.-[doctor] Mm-hmm.
206 00:14:07 [clock ticking]
207 00:14:21 [gentle piano music playing]
208 00:14:45 [grass rustling]
209 00:14:50 [insects chirping]
210 00:15:21 Oh, you don't wanna be down there,Mrs. Pretty. That ain't safe.
211 00:15:25 Spooner and John Jacobsare making supports.
212 00:15:27 We can't continue without them now.
213 00:15:30 I was reading Howard Carter's account
214 00:15:32 of his excavationof the tomb of Tutankhamun.
215 00:15:35 [Brown] Oh?
216 00:15:38 He stood at the thresholdof the burial chamber,
217 00:15:42 the first man to do so for 3,000 years,
218 00:15:45 and he saw finger marksstill on the paint.
219 00:15:50 He say, "Time lost its meaning."
220 00:15:56 It occurs to methat you might unearth human remains.
221 00:16:01 [Brown] Yeah, that's possible.
222 00:16:04 [Pretty]We're digging down to meet the dead.
223 00:16:07 Disinterring them, in fact.
224 00:16:09 [Brown] There's always coroner's inquestswhen remains are found.
225 00:16:13 The dead still get that courtesy,no matter how many centuries they've lain.
226 00:16:18 We can't dig down into the earthwithout considering that--
227 00:16:22 Oh!
228 00:16:22 -[soil rustles]-[sound muffles]
229 00:16:29 [Pretty, muffled] Brown?
230 00:16:34 -[soil shifting]-[Pretty gasps]
231 00:16:38 Mr. Brown?
232 00:16:42 Spooner! Jacob! Get help!
233 00:16:46 -[sound fades]-[tense orchestral music playing]
234 00:17:22 [orchestral music swells]
235 00:17:28 [man] There! There! There!
236 00:17:31 Come on, Basil!
237 00:17:33 [group clamoring indistinctly]
238 00:18:00 [Pretty cries out indistinctly]
239 00:18:19 [Pretty] Careful with his head.
240 00:18:21 [group grunting]
241 00:18:23 [tense orchestral music continues playing]
242 00:18:32 [Pretty] Mr. Brown! Mr. Brown!
243 00:18:35 Mr. Brown!
244 00:18:47 Mr. Brown?
245 00:18:51 [sputters]
246 00:18:52 -[Pretty] That's it.-[Jacobs] That's it.
247 00:18:54 -[Brown gasps]-Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown.
248 00:18:59 -[groans]-[Pretty breathing shakily]
249 00:19:04 You're all right now.You're all right. You're all right.
250 00:19:08 [sighs, chuckles] You're all right.
251 00:19:10 Into the library, Grateley.Lay him on the sofa.
252 00:19:18 [somber piano music playing]
253 00:19:31 [sighs tremulously]
254 00:19:35 [Pretty] Did you see something?
255 00:19:38 [Brown] See something?
256 00:19:41 When you were gone.
257 00:19:44 Oh…
258 00:19:46 Something did come into my head.
259 00:19:48 What was it?
260 00:19:50 [clicks tongue] My, uh… my grandfather.
261 00:19:55 I have his name.
262 00:19:58 Basil Brown.
263 00:20:01 Farming man.
264 00:20:03 Taught me everything I knowabout Suffolk soil.
265 00:20:08 And you saw him?
266 00:20:10 [Brown] Oh, I saw nothing at all.I was just…
267 00:20:13 I just thought of him. [sighs]
268 00:20:18 Well… perhaps he saw you.[chuckles softly]
269 00:20:22 -Excuse me.-Mr. Brown, are you all right?
270 00:20:24 [Pretty] Mr. Brown!
271 00:20:26 Mr. Brown, you have to rest!
272 00:20:28 See, Mrs. Pretty…this one is the one you like.
273 00:20:32 It's the one you wanted me to start on.It's oval.
274 00:20:35 Like a hog's back.
275 00:20:37 [both panting]
276 00:20:40 -See? All the others, circular.-Yes.
277 00:20:44 Now,this land's been plowed for 1,000 year.
278 00:20:48 Now, supposing whoever plowed here…
279 00:20:52 gradually knocked a bit off.
280 00:20:54 So, by the time robbers come along,
281 00:20:56 they'd have sunk the fluteinto what they thought was the center.
282 00:20:59 -[Pretty] But it might not have been.-[Brown] That's right.
283 00:21:02 East to west, that's my feeling.
284 00:21:04 [chuckles] You say the word…
285 00:21:09 [laughs]
286 00:21:11 …and I'll dig.
287 00:21:13 [Pretty chuckles]
288 00:21:16 [energetic instrumental music playing]
289 00:21:42 [Robert] My plane crashedinto the Arctic waste, you see.
290 00:21:45 And when I woke up, 500 years had passed.
291 00:21:49 -So, now I'm stuck in the 25th century.-[Brown] What's that like, then?
292 00:21:53 Well,the Earth is controlled by Killer Kane,
293 00:21:55 who's an extremely evil man.
294 00:21:57 [Brown] Like Hitler?
295 00:21:58 [chuckles]Yes, with an even worse mustache.
296 00:22:01 Did the people
297 00:22:02 who made these burial moundshave mustaches?
298 00:22:04 [Brown] And beards.
299 00:22:06 They were a very beardy lot.
300 00:22:08 Not like them there Romans.Now, they liked the close shave.
301 00:22:12 The Vikings and the space pilotsare the same, really, aren't they?
302 00:22:16 They explore new landsand have battles in ships.
303 00:22:19 Yeah, when you put it like that,I suppose they might be the same.
304 00:22:25 [warplanes roaring]
305 00:22:27 [Robert] They come over all the time.There's an RAF base nearby.
306 00:22:32 [imitates weaponry firing]
307 00:22:35 Would you like to fly, Mr. Brown?
308 00:22:37 [Brown] Oh, but I do.
309 00:22:39 All over the cosmos,every time I look through my telescope.
310 00:22:44 You… You have a telescope?
311 00:22:46 -I do.-[Robert] Did you bring it with you?
312 00:22:48 [Brown] I did.
313 00:22:49 Well, will you show me?
314 00:22:52 I might.
315 00:22:53 [Robert chuckles softly]
316 00:22:56 [imitates weaponry firing]
317 00:22:58 Cor! He likes to natter, he does.
318 00:23:00 What was all that about space travel?
319 00:23:03 [Robert panting]
320 00:23:05 [maid]Mr. Brown had an awful lot of books.
321 00:23:08 Came on his bikewith a great parcel of them.
322 00:23:11 Sloan says some are in Norwegian.
323 00:23:14 Shall we try the green silk?
324 00:23:16 -It's an old favorite, isn't it?-[Pretty] No.
325 00:23:18 The velvet with the lace.
326 00:23:21 [birds singing outside]
327 00:23:32 [clock chiming]
328 00:23:41 [footsteps approach]
329 00:23:46 [Grateley] Mrs. Lyons hopes it will agree.
330 00:23:49 [Pretty] How's your leg, Mr. Grateley?
331 00:23:51 Oh, much better, ma'am.Thank you for inquiring.
332 00:23:55 Would you like the wireless?
333 00:23:56 -[Pretty] Yes, please.-[clicks on]

335 00:24:02 are now being asked to stand by
336 00:24:04 for further trainingas RAF pilots or crew.
337 00:24:07 [Mrs. Lyons] She's only been here 12 year.
338 00:24:09 -[Billy] Mm-hmm.-Came down from Cheshire.
339 00:24:13 Then she married the colonel.
340 00:24:15 He first met with Edithwhen she was still at school.
341 00:24:19 And on his 17th birthday,he asked her to marry him.
342 00:24:23 -She turned him down.-[Billy] Mm.
343 00:24:25 She sayshe can't possibly leave her father.
344 00:24:29 [Billy grunts softly]
345 00:24:31 [Mrs. Lyons] She cared for her fatheranother 13 year, until he died.
346 00:24:36 [Billy] After 13 years.
347 00:24:38 [Mrs. Lyons] She finally acceptedthe colonel's proposal.
348 00:24:42 He been asking every year on her birthday.
349 00:24:45 [Billy] On her birthday.
350 00:24:48 [Mrs. Lyons] Just after they had Robert…

352 00:24:53 -[Billy] Mm-hmm.-[Pretty kisses]
353 00:24:56 [Mrs. Lyons] Imagine that.
354 00:24:57 [men laughing]
355 00:25:00 [chattering indistinctly]
356 00:25:05 [Brown]Do any of you want to look through this?
357 00:25:09 -[man] I thought we'd sit down on that.-[Brown] You have a go.
358 00:25:13 That's right.
359 00:25:15 -[Jacobs] I'm gonna follow you back home.-[group laughing]
360 00:25:19 [Brown] Wait! Wait, for Christ's sake!
361 00:25:23 [seagulls crying]
362 00:25:27 [exhales]
363 00:25:28 [Brown] Come on.
364 00:25:30 [grunts]
365 00:25:31 [church bell ringing]
366 00:25:33 [ship horn blows]
367 00:25:35 [seagulls crying]
368 00:25:37 -[bicycle bell rings]-[brakes squeak]
369 00:25:40 [Brown panting]
370 00:25:43 [Brown] Maynard! Maynard!
371 00:25:45 They found an iron rivetat the burial mound at Snape, didn't they?
372 00:25:50 [Maynard] Snape?Basil, what have you found?
373 00:25:56 My goodness, Basil.
374 00:26:01 -[Spooner] Right. Any joy, Basil?-[Brown] Coming along together.
375 00:26:04 Mr. Spooner, will you bringmy tape measure from the hut?
376 00:26:07 One of you best get Mrs. Pretty down here.
377 00:26:09 -[Jacobs] She's gone up to London.-She what? How long?
378 00:26:13 [Jacobs] London, with Robert.Couple of days.
379 00:26:16 [sighs] Blast.
380 00:26:19 Right, boys. Here we go. Come on together.
381 00:26:22 Better have something to showMrs. Pretty when she get back.
382 00:26:24 -[knocking on door]-[Grateley] And the crystal glasses!
383 00:26:29 No, no, no. Side door, please.
384 00:26:31 -Mrs. Pretty back from London yet?-Mrs. Pretty's about to dine.
385 00:26:34 [Brown] I told you it was urgent.
386 00:26:35 [Grateley] Mr. Brown, I'm sureyou wouldn't like to interfere with--
387 00:26:38 [Pretty] It's all right, Mr. Grateley.
388 00:26:41 -Is it Mr. Brown?-[Pretty] Yes, darling. Darling
389 00:26:46 I think you'd better come and see.
390 00:26:49 [soaring orchestral music playing]
391 00:27:06 [Brown] That's a ship.
392 00:27:09 [Robert] How do you mean, a ship?
393 00:27:11 [Brown] Oh, well, that's a shipthat's been buried in the mound.
394 00:27:15 [Robert]Why would anyone want to bury a ship?
395 00:27:18 [Brown] Well,I expect because that's a grave.
396 00:27:22 [Robert] Whose grave?
397 00:27:23 [Brown] Well, I'd expectthis is a grave of a… a great man.
398 00:27:27 A warrior…
399 00:27:30 or a king.
400 00:27:31 They must have pulled his ship all the wayup that there hill from the river.
401 00:27:38 Now, they'd have put it on ropes,and they'd have hauled it over logs.
402 00:27:42 Men, horses. It must have takenhundreds of 'em. [chuckles]
403 00:27:47 I don't expect them to goto all this trouble for any little squirt.
404 00:27:51 Can you imaginethe send-off they'd be giving him?
405 00:27:54 The songs they'd be singing. [laughs]
406 00:27:57 They'd have drunk Mr. Spoonerunder the table.
407 00:28:00 -[Brown and Pretty laugh]-[Robert] Vikings?
408 00:28:01 [sniffles] Well, I… I think that's older.
409 00:28:04 Maynard disagrees,but I think it's Anglo-Saxon.
410 00:28:08 Now, this is your doing, John Jacobs,'cause you found the first rivet.
411 00:28:12 -[Jacobs chuckles]-That's right, Mrs. Pretty. He did.
412 00:28:17 Congratulations, Mr. Brown.
413 00:28:18 [Brown chuckles] Well, you thoughtthere was something, didn't you?
414 00:28:21 I had my feeling.
415 00:28:23 That you did, Mrs. Pretty. That you did.
416 00:28:25 [Pretty] Oh, John.
417 00:28:27 -Congratulations, Mr. Spooner.-[Spooner] Thank you, ma'am.
418 00:28:29 [Brown] We couldn't have done itwithout this young man here.
419 00:28:34 [kisses] Psst.
420 00:28:35 [softly] Robert, a ship!
421 00:28:38 [kisses]
422 00:28:40 [Robert] Thank you. Mr. Brown.
423 00:28:43 [Brown] Well,there's a lot of earth to… to shift now.
424 00:28:47 But who knows?
425 00:28:49 I'm pretty sure it continues further.
426 00:29:02 [music and sound fade]
427 00:29:10 [wind blows softly]
428 00:29:20 [hatch squeaks]
429 00:29:22 [man] Evening.
430 00:29:24 Evening.
431 00:29:25 [birds singing]
432 00:29:36 [Reid Moir]Do you realize what this means?
433 00:29:39 It's going to change everythingfor Ipswich.
434 00:29:41 We'll be the envyof every museum in the country.
435 00:29:47 -You're gonna get wet, Mrs. Pretty.-[Pretty] I'm afraid I already am.
436 00:29:53 [Brown grunts]
437 00:29:54 [Pretty] Mr. Reid Moir has kindly offeredto take charge of the dig.
438 00:29:59 I turned his generous offer down.
439 00:30:02 -You didn't.-[Pretty] I did.
440 00:30:04 [chuckles, splutters] What did he say?
441 00:30:07 He said I couldn't keep it to myself,which is true.
442 00:30:10 [chuckling] I bet he blew his gasket.
443 00:30:12 In the meantime, I've asked my cousin,Rory Lomax, to come.
444 00:30:15 -[Brown] Right.-I can see you need another pair of hands.
445 00:30:18 He's only an amateur,but then, so is Mr. Reid Moir.
446 00:30:21 -[both chuckle]-[thunder rumbling]
447 00:30:23 -Mrs. Pretty, you better go in the shed.-Oh, yes.
448 00:30:26 -[Brown] You're gonna get very wet here.-[Pretty] I will.
449 00:30:31 [soothing instrumental music playing]
450 00:30:37 [Brown sighs]
451 00:30:42 [Brown panting]
452 00:30:44 [Pretty] I wanted to thank youfor your patience with Robert.
453 00:30:48 He can hardly wait to see youin the mornings.
454 00:30:50 [Brown] Well, keeps me on me toes,having him around.
455 00:30:53 Do you have children?
456 00:30:56 No, uh, we, uh…
457 00:31:03 No.
458 00:31:07 [Brown sniffles]
459 00:31:09 [Pretty] The servants tell meyou've studied everything,
460 00:31:11 from Latin to geology.
461 00:31:13 [Brown] Well, a little educationis a dangerous thing.
462 00:31:16 [Pretty] Hmm.Apparently, you've written a book.
463 00:31:19 [Brown] I have.
464 00:31:20 A guide to astronomical maps and charts,
465 00:31:24 to make them accessible to ordinary men.
466 00:31:28 [Brown] I left school when I was 12.
467 00:31:31 Always had a hunger to study.
468 00:31:36 [Pretty] I got a placeat London University.
469 00:31:41 My father wouldn't hear of it.
470 00:31:54 [birds singing]
471 00:31:56 Would you have dinner with me?
472 00:32:00 Well… thank you. Yes.
473 00:32:06 [Pretty exhales]
474 00:32:26 [Brown] Evening, Vera.
475 00:32:27 Surprise for you, Basil, in your room.
476 00:32:31 [Brown] Right.
477 00:32:40 May.
478 00:32:42 I brought you some fresh shirts.
479 00:32:45 -[Brown chuckles]-About time, I say.
480 00:32:50 -Are you pleased to see me?-Of course I am.
481 00:32:53 [sighs, chuckles softly]
482 00:32:55 -You didn't know I was coming, did you?-[Brown] No. No, I didn't.
483 00:32:59 I did tell you.
484 00:33:01 In my last letter.
485 00:33:04 [Brown] Oh,I was saving them for the weekend.
486 00:33:07 I've been working every hour.You know what I'm like. [chuckles]
487 00:33:10 Yes… I do.
488 00:33:16 [Brown] I'm very busy.
489 00:33:17 -It looks like it. Nowhere to sit in here.-[Brown] There's a lot going on here.
490 00:33:21 -What's that?-I said there's nowhere to sit down.
491 00:33:23 [Brown] Yeah. Sorry about that.It's all-- So much going on.
492 00:33:26 You got something to show me?I think you have.
493 00:33:28 I can see it in your eyes.
494 00:33:29 I'm not saying anything.
495 00:33:31 [indistinct chatter]
496 00:33:33 [maid] There's Mr. Brown with a woman.
497 00:33:38 I suppose it's his wife.You know, she writes to him every day.
498 00:33:44 [knocking on door]
499 00:33:46 Come in.
500 00:33:50 Mr. Brown sends his apologies, ma'am.
501 00:33:58 That's all. Thank you, Ellen. [sighs]
502 00:34:03 [Brown] A man could dig the earthhis whole life through
503 00:34:06 and not find anythinglike I've discovered here.
504 00:34:09 -[May] She's beautiful, all right.-[Brown] Yeah, she's beautiful.
505 00:34:13 [May] You'll have to watch your backwith a thing like this.
506 00:34:15 [Brown] What do you mean?
507 00:34:16 [May] Everyone's gonna want a pieceof this here ship, and this is your find.
508 00:34:20 [Brown] Oh, May…
509 00:34:20 [May] Don't let Ipswich Museumtake your glory.
510 00:34:23 -[Brown] He's not gonna take---[May] Or that lady at the manor.
511 00:34:25 -She should be upping your wages again.-[Brown] She's supportive.
512 00:34:28 -[May] You asked?-[Brown] I ain't gonna ask for more.
513 00:34:30 [Brown] Well, she's very, very gracious,Mrs. Pretty.
514 00:34:33 [May] Your heart's lostto this Viking maiden, I can tell.
515 00:34:37 Innit?
516 00:34:39 [Brown] Ah, May, you sure you don't wantto stay the night?
517 00:34:43 I'll miss my lift back.
518 00:34:45 [Brown] Right, yeah, um…
519 00:34:48 Well, thanks for coming, May.
520 00:34:51 [sighs] I do miss you.
521 00:34:55 -I've been reading your books for company.-You haven't.
522 00:34:59 -[May] I have.-[scoffs]
523 00:35:00 [laughing] Hell,it's not much company, is it?
524 00:35:03 -[May] No, they're hard work, I tell you.-They are.
525 00:35:06 [both laughing]
526 00:35:08 Right. Well,it's good of you to bring my shirts.
527 00:35:10 -[May] Yeah.-[Brown grunts]
528 00:35:12 All right.
529 00:35:14 [Brown] I'll read them letters tonight.
530 00:35:17 -[May] Bye, then.-[Brown] Bye.
531 00:35:19 [engine rumbles]
532 00:35:22 [Brown breathing deeply]
533 00:35:32 -[thunder rumbles]-[Brown gasps, sighs]
534 00:35:38 Blast!
535 00:35:39 [rain pattering]
536 00:35:46 Ah!
537 00:35:48 [groans]
538 00:35:51 [grunting and panting]
539 00:35:58 [grunts]
540 00:36:01 -[strains]-[young man yelps]
541 00:36:03 [Brown gasps, grunts]
542 00:36:05 -Let me help.-[Brown] Right.
543 00:36:07 Right, then.Get around that side and take this tarp.
544 00:36:14 That's… That's right. That's right.There's a stake there behind you.
545 00:36:18 Pull it hard.
546 00:36:22 [Brown] Where in God's namedid you come from?
547 00:36:24 [young man] I rode, actually,
548 00:36:25 on my motorbike from Ipswich. [sniffles]
549 00:36:28 I'm Rory Lomax.
550 00:36:29 [Brown] Aye. Did Reid Moir send you?
551 00:36:33 -From the museum?-[thunder rumbles]
552 00:36:35 I'm Edith Pretty's cousin.
553 00:36:37 She telephoned, asked me to come.
554 00:36:39 -Said you needed an extra pair of hands.-All right.
555 00:36:41 I pointed out my general lack of skill,but she was undeterred.
556 00:36:46 Right. Well…
557 00:36:47 no doubt you'll hearthat my name is Brown. Basil Brown.
558 00:36:51 [Rory] Good to meet you.
559 00:36:52 [Brown] Now,it's gonna be raining for a while,
560 00:36:55 so go on and take a seat. [sniffles]
561 00:36:57 I expect you'd, uh, be wet,coming from Ipswich on a motorbike.
562 00:37:00 -[Rory] I was, rather.-[Brown] Yeah.
563 00:37:02 -[Rory] Just caught me at the end.-[Brown] Right.
564 00:37:04 Well, I'll light the stove.Would you like some tea?
565 00:37:07 [Rory chuckles] Yes, please.
566 00:37:09 [Brown] I think we may have found, um,an old, uh, Anglo-Saxon ship.
567 00:37:13 When this rain clears tomorrow,maybe you can see what we're doing.
568 00:37:17 -Yeah?-How very exciting.
569 00:37:20 Yeah, it's all right.
570 00:37:23 [thunder rumbles]
571 00:37:28 -[Jacobs] Not gonna cover it.-[Brown] Get the second tarp.
572 00:37:31 -Pass me the hammer, please.-[Jacobs] Right.
573 00:37:33 [Spooner] All right, then.
574 00:37:35 [Brown] Lift up.
575 00:37:36 -[panting]-[Brown] That's right.
576 00:37:39 [indistinct chatter]
577 00:37:45 Rory!
578 00:37:47 Hello, Spud.
579 00:37:49 [grunts] Arrived in the night.Didn't want to wake you.
580 00:37:51 Where's your mother?
581 00:37:52 -[steam engine approaching]-[Robert] Oh, she's gone to London.
582 00:37:55 [train whistle blows]
583 00:37:57 [passengers clamoring]
584 00:38:04 [somber piano music playing]
585 00:38:13 [man] Who knowsif we'll still be alive in a year?
586 00:38:19 [announcer on loudspeaker]The yellow and green balls denote gas.
587 00:38:23 -Red denotes high explosives.-[children laughing]
588 00:38:26 [announcer]Red stripes are incendiary bombs.
589 00:38:29 If you are caught on the streetsduring an air raid,
590 00:38:32 you must know the appropriate responseto each form of attack.
591 00:38:38 No, don't throw them about!
592 00:39:01 [Pretty] I was rushingto get here on time.
593 00:39:05 Might that have affected the results?
594 00:39:08 [doctor] Possibly, but the,uh, underlying condition is there.
595 00:39:12 The pneumatic feveryou had as a child, it, uh,
596 00:39:15 damaged the valves of your heart.
597 00:39:18 Irreparably, I'm afraid.
598 00:39:20 Another attackis likely to be much… more serious.
599 00:39:25 Possibly even fatal.
600 00:39:27 -Is there nothing else that can be done?-[doctor] I'm sorry. I… I…
601 00:39:30 I wish I had better news.
602 00:39:34 [continues speaking indistinctly]
603 00:39:51 [Pretty sighs deeply]
604 00:40:00 [somber piano music swells]
605 00:40:02 [bells tolling]
606 00:40:28 [indistinct chatter]
607 00:40:59 [parking brake clicks]
608 00:41:01 [Grateley] Mr. Reid Moir is here, ma'am,with some other gentlemen.
609 00:41:04 They wouldn't stop to give me their names.
610 00:41:05 Then they're trespassing. Where are they?
611 00:41:07 -On their way to the mounds.-Fetch them, quickly.
612 00:41:09 -Right.-[Pretty] Lyons?
613 00:41:16 [sighs]
614 00:41:18 [Brown] Now, I've been reading upabout the Oseberg Ship.
615 00:41:21 That's a Viking ship they found in Norway.
616 00:41:24 There was a burial chamberin the center, roofed.
617 00:41:28 It's a bit like we imagine Noah's Ark.
618 00:41:32 Course, any roof herewould have caved in long ago.
619 00:41:35 See, this line here.
620 00:41:37 The ground is higher,but this soil is darker.
621 00:41:41 So you think there's something beneath?
622 00:41:44 Well, we may know by the end of today.
623 00:41:47 Ye gods!
624 00:41:51 This is incredible!
625 00:41:53 [Reid Moir] We at the Ipswich Museumpride ourselves on our work,
626 00:41:56 and I… I think you'll agreethat it's rock solid.
627 00:42:00 -[Brown] You… You need to stop there.-I beg your pardon?
628 00:42:03 This is a very delicate site,and it ain't safe.
629 00:42:05 Uh, not for a man of your size.
630 00:42:10 Is this your work?
631 00:42:11 Uh, yes. I'm Basil Brown, excavator.
632 00:42:16 [clears throat]Well, Basil Brown, excavator…
633 00:42:21 I am Charles Phillips, archaeologist,
634 00:42:24 and I'm here to tell you that,
635 00:42:27 as this is a find of national interest,
636 00:42:30 the British Museum will be taking charge.
637 00:42:34 Your work…
638 00:42:36 looks, thankfully, decent,
639 00:42:39 but your excavating serviceis no longer required.
640 00:42:42 Am… Am I to understandthat you will be personally taking over?
641 00:42:47 Grimes,I have never seen anything like it.
642 00:42:50 -Quite, sir.-Brailesford.
643 00:42:52 -Sir.-[Phillips] Cancel everything I've got.
644 00:42:55 Find out who's free. We need Piggott.
645 00:42:58 -Find us lodgings, as near as you can.-[Brailesford] Yes, sir.
646 00:43:01 [Reid Moir] That dark soil in the middle,C.W., looks very promising.
647 00:43:04 You men, finish up,and don't move another pebble!
648 00:43:08 [Brown] Excuse me, Mr. Phillips.
649 00:43:09 [splutters] I'm not employed by you.
650 00:43:13 I'm employed by Mrs. Pretty,
651 00:43:15 and I'll keep on workinguntil she tells me different.
652 00:43:18 An ad hoc team from a provincial museumcannot be left in charge.
653 00:43:23 Mrs. Pretty must see that.
654 00:43:29 [lock clicks]
655 00:43:30 [doorbell ringing]
656 00:43:32 John, a minute is all I need.I… I know she'll want to hear this.
657 00:43:35 -All right, all right. Wait here.-Right.
658 00:43:41 [muttering softly]
659 00:43:43 [Grateley] She'll see you tomorrow morningat 10:30.
660 00:43:46 She must know what I found.
661 00:43:48 -[Grateley] Don't push it, old boy!-[Brown] She must know!
662 00:43:50 -[slams]-[Brown] John!
663 00:43:52 [door rattles, creaks open]
664 00:43:55 [door closes]
665 00:43:56 -Is he gone, Mr. Grateley?-[Brown] It's not Grateley.
666 00:44:00 [Pretty gasps]
667 00:44:01 I… I'm sorry for disturbing you,but I believe…
668 00:44:05 we may have founda burial chamber in the ship.
669 00:44:10 -Does Mr. Phillips know?-[Brown] I don't work for Mr. Phillips.
670 00:44:14 What are your wishes?
671 00:44:21 I, uh… He just informed me that,by order of the Ministry of Works,
672 00:44:25 the site must be placed under his control.
673 00:44:31 Well, uh… [sighs]
674 00:44:34 …that's that, then.
675 00:44:36 [sound fading]
676 00:44:37 [Brown, muffled] Well, I…I can carry on for one more day…
677 00:44:40 if that's what you'd like.
678 00:44:41 [somber instrumental music playing]
679 00:44:46 Are… Are you poorly, Mrs. Pretty?
680 00:44:50 Um… [sighs]
681 00:44:53 Perhaps you might, um…
682 00:44:55 might ring the bell for me.
683 00:44:57 Right.
684 00:44:59 [bell rings]
685 00:45:01 He's got no right to dictate to you.
686 00:45:03 This ship's only appearing because of you.
687 00:45:06 Don't forget why you wanted it begun.
688 00:45:09 Now, you said that was a feeling.
689 00:45:11 Your feeling is right.
690 00:45:12 [door creaks open]
691 00:45:17 -Mr. Brown seems to have found his way in.-[Grateley] Mr. Brown.
692 00:45:26 All right.
693 00:45:33 [Pretty breathing shakily]
694 00:45:36 [Grateley] Is there anythingI could bring you?
695 00:45:38 Fetch Ellen for me, please.
696 00:45:43 [sighs deeply]
697 00:45:54 [sniffles]
698 00:45:57 [somber music swells]
699 00:46:23 [lighter clicks]
700 00:46:27 [Pretty sighs]
701 00:46:32 [exhales deeply]
702 00:46:43 [wind whistles]
703 00:47:01 [Phillips]Mrs. Pretty is keen to keep you on,
704 00:47:04 so we'll make good use of you.
705 00:47:07 Your primary taskwill be to keep the site in order.
706 00:47:10 So, I want the tumulus dug backto an area of four feet on either side,
707 00:47:15 and I want those spoil heaps removed.
708 00:47:19 From now on,
709 00:47:20 you're not to set foot in the bodyof the ship without my express permission.
710 00:47:24 Carry on.
711 00:47:26 [Jacobs]Are you gonna put up with that, Basil?
712 00:47:38 [Brown sighs]
713 00:47:47 [Robert] Hello, Mr. Brown.
714 00:47:49 -My mother's got her heartburn.-Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
715 00:47:53 She has to have peace and quiet.I made her this.
716 00:47:56 -[Brown] Well, that's a very fine rocket.-Where are you going?
717 00:48:00 Oh, I… Oh, I have to go home now.
718 00:48:02 When will you be back?
719 00:48:05 Well, uh… I'm sorry, Robert. I…
720 00:48:09 I am.
721 00:48:14 Uh, but, Mr. Brown…
722 00:48:16 Mr. Brown!
723 00:48:19 -Mr. Brown!-[Rory] It seems I'm out of a job.
724 00:48:22 [Rory] Phillips won't let us in his ship.
725 00:48:26 His ship? Really?
726 00:48:28 I thought I might take some photographs.It could make a useful record.
727 00:48:31 -Would you mind?-Not at all.
728 00:48:33 -As long as they're not of me.-[camera clicks]
729 00:48:37 Can't say I blame Brown.
730 00:48:38 Such a decent mandoesn't deserve Phillips.
731 00:48:42 Blame him?
732 00:48:43 Well, he left this morning.Didn't you know?
733 00:48:46 Where's Robert?
734 00:48:50 [water pours]
735 00:48:52 [Robert panting]
736 00:48:59 [horn blares]
737 00:49:09 You don't have another job?
738 00:49:12 I'll write to Maynard,and he'll give me something.
739 00:49:17 [May]Did you tell Mrs. Pretty you were leaving?
740 00:49:20 [Brown]I thought I'd let her work it out herself.
741 00:49:22 And that's the thanks she gets
742 00:49:23 for giving you the opportunityin the first place?
743 00:49:25 Mark my words, May,I won't receive any credit.
744 00:49:28 -I won't even be a footnote.-[May] Is that why you took the job?
745 00:49:31 -For credit?-How can I stay on?
746 00:49:32 Is that why you've been diggingyour whole life for barely enough
747 00:49:35 to cover our rent?
748 00:49:36 No, May. I do it 'cause I'm good at it.
749 00:49:39 'Cause that's what my father taught me,and what his father taught him.
750 00:49:42 'Cause you can show me a handful of soilfrom anywhere in Suffolk,
751 00:49:46 and I can pretty much tell youwhose land it's from.
752 00:49:48 There you go.
753 00:49:51 [gentle instrumental music playing]
754 00:49:53 -[bicycle bell rings]-[Robert panting]
755 00:49:56 [Robert] Excuse me.Do you know Basil Brown?
756 00:49:59 -Do you know where he lives?-Yes, I know Basil.
757 00:50:01 He lives on a farm outside of the village.Carry on that way.
758 00:50:03 Thank you so much.
759 00:50:11 [groans]
760 00:50:27 I found that ship.
761 00:50:31 I may not be a fellow at Cambridge,but I worked out what was down there.
762 00:50:35 And Jacobs and Spooner, too,and nobody'll remember that.
763 00:50:39 You don't know that.
764 00:50:41 And if you're not aroundto see it to the end,
765 00:50:43 there's even less chance.
766 00:50:46 You always told me your workisn't about the past or even the present.
767 00:50:49 It's for the future.
768 00:50:51 So that the next generationscan know where they came from.
769 00:50:56 The linethat joins them to their forebears.
770 00:50:58 Isn't that what you always say?
771 00:51:03 Yeah, something like that.
772 00:51:05 [May] Why else would the lot of yoube playing in the dirt
773 00:51:08 while the rest of the countryprepares for war?
774 00:51:12 -Because that means something, innit?-[Brown sighs]
775 00:51:15 Something that'll last longerthan whatever damn war we're heading into.
776 00:51:24 Good hell.
777 00:51:26 That's Robert.
778 00:51:28 -Robert?-[Robert panting]
779 00:51:30 -[bicycle brakes squeak]-Robert!
780 00:51:32 [Robert] Mr. Brown!
781 00:51:34 [Brown]Robert, have you cycled all this way?
782 00:51:37 You promised.
783 00:51:38 May! May!
784 00:51:40 You said you'd show me the cosmos.You promised.
785 00:51:43 -Good heavens! Who have we here?-[Brown] This is Robert Pretty.
786 00:51:46 [May] Robert, I'm Mrs. Brown.
787 00:51:49 I bet you have a rare thirstafter that long ride, don't you?
788 00:51:51 -[Robert] Mm-hmm.-Come you here.
789 00:51:53 -Let's get you a cup of milk.-[Brown] That's a long way.
790 00:51:56 Does your mother know you're here, Robert?
791 00:51:57 -[May] How'd you find your way?-She know you cycled?
792 00:52:00 -[May] Should I take your bike for you?-[Robert] Yes, please.
793 00:52:02 I better find a telephone, May.Call Mrs. Pretty.
794 00:52:05 [car approaching]
795 00:52:15 [Brown] Ah.
796 00:52:17 -[Pretty] Thank you.-[Brown] He's all right.
797 00:52:19 -He's inside. Uh, come this way.-[Pretty] Thank you.
798 00:52:22 -We were obviously very worried.-Yes. He's… He's…
799 00:52:25 Uh, this is May, my wife.
800 00:52:27 -Mrs. Pretty.-Thank you very much.
801 00:52:30 He's been no trouble. A lovely boy.
802 00:52:33 Mrs. Brown has a music box from Whitby
803 00:52:35 covered in all manner of shells.
804 00:52:37 Would you like to see?
805 00:52:38 Uh, no.We've imposed on your kindness enough.
806 00:52:42 What were you thinking?
807 00:52:45 You could have been lost or killed.
808 00:52:47 -Robert… what were you thinking?-[Robert] I'm sorry, Mother.
809 00:52:51 Uh, Robert came to remind meof a promise that I made.
810 00:52:55 I said I'd show him the starsthrough my telescope.
811 00:52:59 Didn't I?
812 00:53:00 Then you're returning?
813 00:53:03 I am. Yes.
814 00:53:09 Thank you. [sighs]
815 00:53:22 [Rory] Morning!
816 00:53:24 [Brown] Morning.
817 00:53:24 Mr. Grimes. I've been, uh… taking notes.
818 00:53:30 -Ah!-If they be of any use.
819 00:53:32 Why, they'd save me days.
820 00:53:35 -You must have suspected what was here.-[Brown] Well, you've made good progress.
821 00:53:40 [Grimes] As did you.
822 00:53:42 Thank you kindly.
823 00:53:43 -[Grimes] It's fine work, Mr. Brown.-[Brown] Yeah. Well, we made a start.
824 00:53:47 -Phillips.-[Phillips] Our excavator has returned.
825 00:53:50 [Brown] Morning.
826 00:53:51 [Phillips] There's a signin the bottom of the ship
827 00:53:53 that there could be an intact chamber.
828 00:53:56 [Piggott] Tremendously exciting.
829 00:53:58 [warplanes roaring overhead]
830 00:54:03 [Phillips grunts]
831 00:54:04 [Piggott] What about eventsin the wider world, C.W.?
832 00:54:07 How do you think it will affect us?
833 00:54:09 [Phillips] Judging by last night's news…
834 00:54:12 I think we could be at warin a matter of weeks,
835 00:54:15 and every excavationin the land will stop.
836 00:54:18 -So, it's up to us. [clears throat]-[Piggott sighs]
837 00:54:22 -Oh, good lord. [gasps]-Gosh.
838 00:54:25 -[Piggott] Jim! Billy Grimes!-Stuart!
839 00:54:28 -How the devil are you?-[Piggott chuckles] Very well.
840 00:54:30 -This is my wife, Margaret.-Peggy.
841 00:54:33 [Brailesford] Mrs. Piggott,a pleasure to meet you.
842 00:54:36 [Peggy] Mr. Phillips, I-- um,I wanted to say how pleased I was
843 00:54:39 that you specifically askedfor me to come.
844 00:54:41 I know Stuart sent you my paperon Bosnian Lake villagers.
845 00:54:43 It was awfully good of you to read it.
846 00:54:48 Ah, yes. Um, very stimulating.
847 00:54:50 [Peggy chuckles] I hopeI'll be able to repay your faith in me.
848 00:54:54 [Phillips] I have no doubt.
849 00:54:55 It's just that I haven't donemuch actual fieldwork yet.
850 00:54:58 Uh, so I wouldn't want you to thinkI'm more experienced than I really am.
851 00:55:01 [Phillips]Ah, you have all the key attributes.
852 00:55:05 [Peggy] Do I?
853 00:55:06 -This ship is very delicate.-[Peggy] Mm-hmm.
854 00:55:08 One could say, it,um, scarcely exists at all.
855 00:55:13 Too much weight, it disintegrates.
856 00:55:15 You're probably less than nine stone,so I'll supervise from here
857 00:55:20 while you light thingsget on with the digging.
858 00:55:25 Am I to understandyou only asked for me because of my size?
859 00:55:28 Uh, lucky guess, actually.
860 00:55:30 [chuckles] Yeah, thank GodPiggott didn't marry a piglet.
861 00:55:34 [group laughs]
862 00:55:36 [Phillips] Carry on!
863 00:55:38 [somber instrumental music playing]
864 00:55:49 -[Phillips] How does it look to you?-[Brailesford] Sir?
865 00:55:54 -[camera clicks]-[crew chattering]
866 00:56:00 [Phillips] What have you got there?
867 00:56:02 [camera clicks]
868 00:56:06 -[seagulls crying]-[Robert imitating weaponry firing]
869 00:56:15 [camera clicks]
870 00:56:23 [Brailesford] All right, then.
871 00:56:32 [camera clicks]
872 00:56:38 [indistinct chatter]
873 00:56:40 -[Piggott] First round's on me, chaps!-[Phillips] Very nice of you.
874 00:56:43 [group continues chattering indistinctly]
875 00:56:54 [Peggy laughing]
876 00:56:57 [coughs] Do they not have a… a double?
877 00:56:59 [Piggott] Sorry, darling, no.This is fine, though, isn't it?
878 00:57:02 We don't…We don't want to start by making a fuss.
879 00:57:05 Oh, no. Of course not.
880 00:57:08 We're so lucky to be part of this. [sighs]
881 00:57:12 [Peggy] Yes.
882 00:57:13 -[exhales] Yes, it's going to be amazing.-Mm.
883 00:57:20 [exhales]
884 00:57:22 Would you prefer this bed…
885 00:57:25 or… or… or that one?
886 00:57:27 I'll… I'll take this one, shall I?
887 00:57:30 [Peggy sighs]
888 00:57:33 [Brown] You need to find a starand identify its direction of travel.
889 00:57:38 -Good evening, gentlemen.-[Brown] Good evening, Mrs. Pretty.
890 00:57:42 -Hello, Mother.-[Pretty] Hello, darling.
891 00:57:44 Ah!
892 00:57:47 [Robert]Do space pilots navigate using the stars?
893 00:57:49 [Brown] Oh, most certainly, they do.
894 00:57:53 Ten more minutes, Commander. Then, bed.
895 00:57:57 [dramatic orchestral music playing]
896 00:58:08 [Robert] I see a star.
897 00:58:11 [group singing indistinctly]
898 00:58:26 [birds singing]
899 00:58:31 [Brown] All right.
900 00:58:34 [Peggy grunting]
901 00:58:38 [screams]
902 00:58:39 -Oh, God!-[Phillips] What's going on?
903 00:58:41 -[Peggy] It just gave way.-[Phillips] Get her off there!
904 00:58:44 -Piggott, get her off!-Oh, I'm so sorry!
905 00:58:47 -I didn't mean to damage anything.-[Piggott sighs] Oh, you…
906 00:58:49 -What you got, Brailesford?-[Brown] You all right?
907 00:58:53 [Brailesford] Sort of rusted lumps.
908 00:58:55 [Phillips] Come on, man.Where's your training?
909 00:58:57 [Brailesford] Uh, an amorphous massof corroded objects, sir.
910 00:59:00 You, get your camera down there.Photograph it.
911 00:59:03 That's… That's very hot in the full sun.
912 00:59:05 Oh, I'm fine. Thank you.
913 00:59:08 Watch your step there.This could well be our chamber.
914 00:59:13 [Pretty] Some barley water, Mrs. Piggott?
915 00:59:15 -[sighs] Thank you. So clumsy.-[Pretty] Oh, not at all.
916 00:59:19 -[flies buzzing]-[Peggy exhales] Oh.
917 00:59:22 -That's a very lovely skirt.-[Peggy] Oh.
918 00:59:24 [chuckles] Completely useless.I don't have anything more suitable.
919 00:59:28 -We came straight from our holiday.-Did you really?
920 00:59:31 -[Peggy chuckles] Yes.-[Pretty] Well, come to the house.
921 00:59:34 Let's see what we can find.
922 00:59:39 Is Mrs. Pretty still poorly?
923 00:59:44 She says she's perfectly fine, but…
924 00:59:47 [whispering] …that's typical of her.
925 00:59:51 [men hollering, laughing]
926 00:59:54 Damn this weather.
927 00:59:57 Losing a whole day.
928 01:00:00 So little time before world events…
929 01:00:05 confound us.
930 01:00:06 [men continue laughing]
931 01:00:08 [Phillips] It's a race, an absolute race.
932 01:00:11 [Pretty] Then you are wastingthe talents of Mr. Brown.
933 01:00:15 Well, that's an excellent idea.
934 01:00:18 Stuart couldn't fault his work.Could he not be unearthing the stern?
935 01:00:22 [Phillips] Mr. Brown isn't qualified.
936 01:00:24 Well, that's just snobbery,isn't it, Mr. Phillips?
937 01:00:30 [Brailesford and Piggottchuckling and chatting]
938 01:00:34 -[Phillips] Brown!-[Peggy clears throat]
939 01:00:37 [Phillips] Brown!
940 01:00:40 Brown, come here, man!
941 01:00:50 [footsteps approaching]
942 01:00:53 [Piggott gasps] Oh my God, Margaret.
943 01:00:59 [Peggy sighs]
944 01:01:02 [exhales]
945 01:01:03 Sorry. I forgot to lock the door.
946 01:01:04 [chuckles] No, you see,we… we… we share that bathroom
947 01:01:08 with… with four other rooms,and, you know, I could have been anyone.
948 01:01:12 -Um, I could've been Grimes or Phillips.-[Peggy scoffs]
949 01:01:16 But you're not. You're my husband.
950 01:01:17 [chuckles] Yes,but how… how do you think I'd feel
951 01:01:20 if… if one of them saw you in that state?
952 01:01:22 [scoffs] Oh! In what state?
953 01:01:26 [laughs]
954 01:01:27 [giggles] In this state?
955 01:01:30 Christ, I-- Stop.
956 01:01:32 You should be more careful. It's…
957 01:01:35 You know, now, after… after waiting eons,I shall… I shall go and have my bath.
958 01:01:41 [door opens, closes]
959 01:01:46 [Peggy sighs]
960 01:01:52 [birds chirping]
961 01:02:06 -[Grimes] Mr. Spooner.-[Spooner] Right.
962 01:02:16 -Morning, Mr. Piggott.-[chuckles nervously] C.W.
963 01:02:21 [sighs]
964 01:02:22 -[whispers] You might have woken me.-I didn't like to.
965 01:02:27 You made me appear late.
966 01:02:33 -[Pretty reading indistinctly]-[crew chattering and laughing]
967 01:02:38 [Piggott whispering] Careful, Stuart.You've got a delicate line now, man.
968 01:02:41 -Very delicate.-You ready?
969 01:02:43 -Yeah.-[Phillips] Just a moment.
970 01:02:44 You have to be very careful now.No cavalier lifting.
971 01:02:47 [both laughing]
972 01:02:49 -[Phillips] Very gently.-Yes, sir.
973 01:02:51 [Phillips] On my count. One, two, three.
974 01:02:56 [softly] And we do it this way.
975 01:03:11 [Peggy gasps]
976 01:03:14 [Rory] Don't move.
977 01:03:16 [camera clicks]
978 01:03:19 -[Peggy breathing shakily]-[Brailesford] Piggott, look.
979 01:03:27 [dramatic instrumental music playing]
980 01:03:29 [Piggott] Where did you find it, darling?You clever girl.
981 01:03:35 Phillips!
982 01:03:40 -Look at this, sir.-Look. Look!
983 01:03:44 -[Phillips] Ah, good Lord.-[Piggott] His face!
984 01:03:46 [crew laughing]
985 01:03:47 Phillips.
986 01:03:49 -Mrs. Pretty, there's more.-[Brown] And here. And here too.
987 01:03:53 [Peggy] There's much more.
988 01:03:55 [energetic instrumental music playing]
989 01:04:09 [crew chatting indistinctly]
990 01:04:28 [excited chatter]
991 01:04:30 [Brown] Could you both, uh,cast your eyes on this, please?
992 01:04:34 I, uh, found it down between the strikes.
993 01:04:38 I believe that's a Merovingian tremissis.
994 01:04:40 -Late 6th century.-[Phillips scoffs] Can't be.
995 01:04:44 Viking East Anglia didn't havea coin-based economy till the 9th century.
996 01:04:48 [Brown] Well,I think that the ship is older.
997 01:04:52 Mr. Brown has always said so.
998 01:05:05 This is Anglo-Saxon.
999 01:05:08 Piggott! Grimes!
1000 01:05:10 It's Dark Age, by Jupiter!
1001 01:05:12 Sixth century!
1002 01:05:14 This changes everything.
1003 01:05:16 These peoplewere not just marauding barterers.
1004 01:05:20 They had culture!
1005 01:05:23 They had art!
1006 01:05:24 They had money!
1007 01:05:26 [Grimes] Well, Vikings are out the window.
1008 01:05:27 [Piggott gasps]
1009 01:05:28 -C.W., look.-[Peggy] God's sake.
1010 01:05:30 Oh, good God.
1011 01:05:32 [crew laughing]
1012 01:05:34 [Phillips] Brown has just shown mea Merovingian tremissis.
1013 01:05:39 [Piggott exclaims]
1014 01:05:41 -[crew laughs]-That's Anglo-Saxon.
1015 01:05:43 [Phillips] It's incredible!
1016 01:05:51 [blows]
1017 01:05:56 [camera clicks]
1018 01:06:00 [birds singing]
1019 01:06:06 [Peggy] Hello.
1020 01:06:07 Are you camping out here?
1021 01:06:09 [Robert]No. That's where my cousin Rory sleeps.
1022 01:06:12 [Peggy] Is he not allowed indoors?
1023 01:06:15 [Robert] No, he…he thinks the house is too hot.
1024 01:06:19 -[Peggy chuckles] I can imagine.-[Robert] He's going to join the RAF.
1025 01:06:22 -Is he?-They're sending his papers any day.
1026 01:06:25 He's going to get his wings.
1027 01:06:27 Huh.
1028 01:06:33 Well done, everybody,on a splendid effort.
1029 01:06:37 Brailesford, Piggott,
1030 01:06:39 if you'll start loading the goldinto the car,
1031 01:06:42 we'll get itstraight to the British Museum.
1032 01:06:44 [Pretty] I beg your pardon?
1033 01:06:45 [seagulls crying]
1034 01:06:47 Well, it's the obvious place for it,Mrs. Pretty.
1035 01:06:52 [Pretty]London is preparing for air raids.
1036 01:06:55 The British Museum is currentlybeing emptied of its treasures, isn't it?
1037 01:06:59 [Phillips] Uh, yes,but, um, it… it'll go to the lab.
1038 01:07:03 [Pretty] This treasure camefrom someone's grave.
1039 01:07:06 There'll be an inquest, as you know,and its fate will be decided there.
1040 01:07:10 Until then, Mr. Brown…
1041 01:07:13 as the finder of this magnificent ship,
1042 01:07:15 would you please take the treasureup to the house?
1043 01:07:17 Uh, yes, Mrs. Pretty.
1044 01:07:19 Thank you all very much.
1045 01:07:21 [Brown] Right, uh, gentlemen,I'll need some assistance. Mr. Lomax?
1046 01:07:26 [Phillips] This is most irregular.
1047 01:07:28 [Grimes] It all belongs to Mrs. Pretty,doesn't it?
1048 01:07:30 It's found on her land.
1049 01:07:32 [Piggott] Well, surely,the inquest will decide
1050 01:07:34 whether the treasurebelongs to Mrs. Pretty or the Crown.
1051 01:07:37 [Phillips] Piggott, do you wantthis treasure to go to the Ipswich Museum?
1052 01:07:41 [Pretty] Am I doing the right thing?
1053 01:07:44 It's someone's grave.
1054 01:07:47 [Brown] No, that's…that's life what's revealed.
1055 01:07:52 And that's why we dig.
1056 01:08:03 [Pretty] Just in here.I think that's best.
1057 01:08:23 They're like emissariesfrom another world.
1058 01:08:33 [Rory] I used to campwith Robert's father, you see.
1059 01:08:36 [Rory] I remember him telling me the callsof all the birds.
1060 01:08:39 Now, whenever I hear nightingales,I think of these woods.
1061 01:08:42 -[Peggy] Are there nightingales?-Haven't you heard them?
1062 01:08:45 [Peggy] No.
1063 01:08:47 Never heard a nightingale at all.Only on the wireless.
1064 01:08:51 There's a wonderful cellistcalled Beatrice Harrison.
1065 01:08:54 In the summer evenings,she used to practice in the garden, and…
1066 01:08:58 one night, she was playing a scale,and a… a nightingale joined in.
1067 01:09:02 At first, she couldn't believe it.She started playing a sonata,
1068 01:09:05 and the nightingale accompanied her.
1069 01:09:08 -[Rory] Really?-[Peggy] Mm-hmm. Yes.
1070 01:09:10 [chuckles] Yes. It happened againthe next night and next night.
1071 01:09:13 Miss Harrison was so excited about it,
1072 01:09:15 she went to the BBCand told them all about it.
1073 01:09:16 [Rory] And?
1074 01:09:17 [Peggy] So, a few evenings later,
1075 01:09:20 the BBC cameand put their recording equipment
1076 01:09:22 in Miss Harrison's garden.
1077 01:09:24 She started to play,and they waited and, um, waited…
1078 01:09:30 and…
1079 01:09:32 and at last,the nightingale began to sing.
1080 01:09:37 Went on for about 15 minutes…
1081 01:09:40 rising and falling with the cello.
1082 01:09:45 -No.-[both laughing]
1083 01:09:47 -Yes.-Wow.
1084 01:09:49 I know. Hmm.
1085 01:09:53 [sighs]
1086 01:09:55 But…the really extraordinary thing is that…
1087 01:10:00 other people who'd been listeningto the broadcast in their gardens
1088 01:10:05 reported that other nightingalesalso started to sing.
1089 01:10:10 Well, that's wonderful.
1090 01:10:13 Yes, it was. It was wonderful.
1091 01:10:16 [Piggott] Margaret!
1092 01:10:19 -Come on!-[Peggy sighs] All right. Hmm.
1093 01:10:26 Well… good night.
1094 01:10:31 I shall listen outfor cellos in the woods.
1095 01:10:35 [Peggy chuckles]
1096 01:10:37 [Rory scoffs]
1097 01:10:39 "Cellos." [mumbles]
1098 01:10:46 [crowd chattering]
1099 01:10:58 -[Brailesford] Here we are, chaps.-[Phillips] All right.
1100 01:11:01 [Brailesford] Well,we are unburying a legend.
1101 01:11:03 -Beowulf.-Arthur, King of the Britons.
1102 01:11:06 Cheers.
1103 01:11:07 Talk about Dark Ages.I can hardly see my pint.
1104 01:11:11 What actually is that?
1105 01:11:12 [Piggott] It's the,uh, trial blackouts, C.W.
1106 01:11:15 [Phillips] Ah.
1107 01:11:16 So Germans will be coming by airthis time, will they?
1108 01:11:20 Last time, they came by the river.
1109 01:11:23 In AD 600.
1110 01:11:24 [group laughing]
1111 01:11:26 You know, I'm…It's been a big day. I'm quite done in.
1112 01:11:29 Um, will you all excuse me?
1113 01:11:31 -Aw.-Well done, Mrs. P, on a marvelous find.
1114 01:11:34 [Brailesford] Yes.Cheers to your clever wife!
1115 01:11:36 -Yeah. No, I'll come with you, darling.-No.
1116 01:11:39 No, no. Um, surely you want to celebrate.
1117 01:11:42 -Stay for another, Piggott.-My round. Set them up again, would you?
1118 01:11:47 I say, C.W., ask himif he'll take a Merovingian tremissis.
1119 01:11:52 [group laughing]
1120 01:11:54 [radio announcer] …the press campaign,
1121 01:11:56 the menacing statements of the statesmenleading the policy of Germany,
1122 01:12:00 the systematic provocationof frontier incidents,
1123 01:12:03 and finally,the constantly increasing concentrations
1124 01:12:07 of mobilized armed forces
1125 01:12:08 at the Polish frontiersconstitute an obvious proof of this.
1126 01:12:13 A Labour deputation called onthe Prime Minister last night,
1127 01:12:16 requesting the immediate evacuationof women, children, and cripples
1128 01:12:20 as precautionagainst the sudden outbreak of war.
1129 01:12:22 [man 1 in film] He'll find Buck Rogersif anybody can.
1130 01:12:25 [ships whirring]
1131 01:12:28 [man 2 in film] Get the guards, you fools!
1132 01:12:30 If they get away, I'll put every manof you in the robot battalion!
1133 01:12:34 [somber piano music playing]
1134 01:12:36 [whispering] Not yet.
1135 01:12:39 Not yet. [sniffles]
1136 01:12:45 Darling, C.W. wants me to takesome of the corroded iron to the lab.
1137 01:12:51 Uh, we think it might be fragmented armor,
1138 01:12:53 and I… I badly wantto start cleaning it up. So…
1139 01:12:57 Am I to come with you?
1140 01:12:58 No, because C.W. needsall the hands he can get here, so, uh…
1141 01:13:03 And he's very pleased with you.
1142 01:13:05 -Is he?-[Piggott] Mm.
1143 01:13:07 Uh, so I'm taking Brailesfordbecause the lab's really his thing.
1144 01:13:12 -You know.-Ah. Oh.
1145 01:13:16 You're going to haveto be a brick about it, Margaret.
1146 01:13:18 [Peggy] Peggy.
1147 01:13:21 My name's Peggy.
1148 01:13:23 [warplanes roaring]
1149 01:13:30 [Peggy sighs]
1150 01:13:32 [mutters]
1151 01:13:39 I'll… I'll…I'll miss you very much, Peggy.
1152 01:13:47 Sorry to take him away from you.
1153 01:13:49 -[engine starts]-[Peggy sighs]
1154 01:13:56 [Peggy] It was very kind of youto invite me, Mrs. Pretty.
1155 01:13:58 [Pretty] You can't possibly stayin that pub without your husband.
1156 01:14:01 Mr. Phillipswould bore you quite to death.
1157 01:14:04 Um, have you developed anyof your photographs yet, Mr. Lomax?
1158 01:14:08 I've made a start. I've got a mountainto do, and I better get through them.
1159 01:14:12 I could get my papers any day.
1160 01:14:14 Rory has been accepted into the RAF.
1161 01:14:18 Should I congratulate you?
1162 01:14:20 I don't know. Cousin Edith didn't.
1163 01:14:26 This looks delicious.
1164 01:14:30 [Pretty] Bon appétit.
1165 01:14:32 [Pretty] Don't be too long, now, darling.It's late.
1166 01:14:35 [Brown] And now,that's a partial eclipse of the moon.
1167 01:14:38 [Pretty] And don't run.
1168 01:14:39 [Pretty] Oh, dear.
1169 01:14:40 [Pretty] Wait for us.
1170 01:14:42 -[Pretty] Isn't that a bad omen?-[Brown] Well, they used to think so.
1171 01:14:49 [Pretty] It does make you feelthe gods are angry.
1172 01:14:52 The people who buried that ship…
1173 01:14:55 What did they believe?
1174 01:14:57 [Brown] Well… they were sailing somewhere,weren't they?
1175 01:15:02 Down to the underworld or up to the stars.
1176 01:15:08 [Pretty] Wherever we go when we die.
1177 01:15:14 [Phillips] So we're rather comingto the dregs, aren't we?
1178 01:15:17 The coroner has been in touch.
1179 01:15:21 An inquest has been called for Friday,and your presence is required.
1180 01:15:26 There's been quitea lot of public interest in our ship.
1181 01:15:29 So afterwards,I've invited everyone to come and see it.
1182 01:15:32 Uh… everyone?
1183 01:15:34 [Pretty] The villagers are comingand my friends from the county.
1184 01:15:38 May I remind youjust how fragile this site is?
1185 01:15:45 Please feel freeto invite your families and friends.
1186 01:15:50 Mrs. Pretty…
1187 01:15:51 [warplane sputtering]
1188 01:15:56 Good God.
1189 01:15:59 [Pretty] Robert?
1190 01:16:07 [warplane engine stops]
1191 01:16:12 [loud crashing]
1192 01:16:13 [water splashes]
1193 01:16:14 Don't let anyone swim!It's tidal. The current is fierce!
1194 01:16:18 Darling.
1195 01:16:19 [dramatic music playing]
1196 01:16:43 [inhales deeply]
1197 01:17:27 [Rory panting and grunting]
1198 01:17:39 They train these boyson rickety planes from the Great War.
1199 01:17:44 My husband said,"If you want your son to die,
1200 01:17:46 then let him join the Air Force."
1201 01:17:50 [Peggy] They saythis war will be fought in the air.
1202 01:17:54 [Robert] What happened, Mother?
1203 01:17:56 Is he all right?
1204 01:17:59 -I must get Robert up to the house.-Shall I take him for you?
1205 01:18:02 -He won't want to go.-Uh, I'll ask him to look after me.
1206 01:18:07 [Pretty] Thank you.
1207 01:18:09 [Peggy] Robert!
1208 01:18:10 -[Robert] Yes?-[Peggy sighs] I… I feel rather faint.
1209 01:18:14 Oh, well, when I feel faint,I have a good lie-down
1210 01:18:17 and a big glass of water.
1211 01:18:19 -[Peggy] Do you?-[Robert] And that does the trick.
1212 01:18:21 [Peggy] That's what I need.
1213 01:18:22 -Will you take my hand?-[Robert] Sure.
1214 01:18:26 [seagulls screeching]
1215 01:18:52 [Pretty exhales deeply]
1216 01:19:04 [Peggy] His name was David Atkinson.It was his second solo flight.
1217 01:19:10 Police and the coroner are here.I brought you some dry things.
1218 01:19:19 [Rory] I've got some coffeeback at my tent.
1219 01:19:26 Would you like some?
1220 01:19:31 [Peggy] My father drowned…
1221 01:19:34 on a holiday in Cornwall.
1222 01:19:36 He was taken by the current.
1223 01:19:40 -[Rory] I'm sorry.-[Peggy] Oh, no.
1224 01:19:41 It was a long time ago.
1225 01:19:44 He had epilepsy.
1226 01:19:49 So, what drew you to photography?
1227 01:19:52 [Rory] Oh, I suppose it's, um…
1228 01:19:54 It's just a wayof trying to fix things as they…
1229 01:19:58 as they go past.
1230 01:19:59 -[Peggy] Mm.-[Rory] Keep what's vital from being lost.
1231 01:20:03 My father once gave me an old coin…
1232 01:20:09 and he said it wasfrom the time of Caesar Augustus.
1233 01:20:13 And I knew the story from the Biblewhere Jesus showed the disciples a coin.
1234 01:20:18 "Render unto Caesarthe things that are Caesar's."
1235 01:20:23 -[chuckles lightly]-Yes.
1236 01:20:26 And I… [sighs]
1237 01:20:27 …well, I… I became convincedthat the coin I had
1238 01:20:31 was the one that Jesushad actually shown the disciples.
1239 01:20:34 I used to marvel that I could hold it.
1240 01:20:43 What happened to your coin?
1241 01:20:45 Oh…
1242 01:20:49 Uh…
1243 01:20:54 -I wear it. [chuckles]-[Rory gasps]
1244 01:21:02 I thought it might bring me luck.
1245 01:21:06 And has it?
1246 01:21:16 If 1,000 years…
1247 01:21:20 were to pass in an instant…
1248 01:21:25 what would be left of us?
1249 01:21:29 [Peggy] This.
1250 01:21:34 And parts of your watch.
1251 01:21:36 Torch.
1252 01:21:39 Fragments of the mug.
1253 01:21:42 [Rory] But every last scrapof you and I would… disappear.
1254 01:21:48 -[Rory] Listen.-[nightingales singing]
1255 01:21:50 [Peggy] What?
1256 01:21:56 [both gasp, laugh]
1257 01:22:00 [Pretty sighs]
1258 01:22:07 [Robert] The pilot died, didn't he?
1259 01:22:10 Yes, darling.
1260 01:22:16 Wait.
1261 01:22:19 -[sighs, breathing shakily]-[Robert] Rory won't die, will he?
1262 01:22:23 I'm sorry.
1263 01:22:24 No.
1264 01:22:35 You won't die?
1265 01:22:47 [breathing shakily]
1266 01:23:01 [Pretty gasping]
1267 01:23:05 [Peggy] Mrs. Pretty?
1268 01:23:06 [Pretty continues gasping]
1269 01:23:10 -[Peggy] Are you unwell?-I've, um…
1270 01:23:12 -Perhaps you might lead me to my room.-Yes, of course. Of course.
1271 01:23:17 -[groaning]-[Peggy] Are you all right?
1272 01:23:21 [Pretty laughing weakly] Yes! Yes.
1273 01:23:23 -[Peggy] Should I call a doctor?-[Pretty] No, no, no. It's…
1274 01:23:25 It's heartburn. It's…
1275 01:23:27 [muffled] No, I don't want to wake him.
1276 01:23:30 [Robert gasps]
1277 01:23:32 -[Pretty gasping]-[Peggy] Mrs. Pretty, are you all right?
1278 01:23:37 [Pretty] I'm such a bore.
1279 01:23:39 Would you mind…Would you mind getting me some milk?
1280 01:23:42 -[Peggy] Yes.-Thank you.
1281 01:23:44 -[Peggy] Are you sure?-[sobbing] Yes, thank you.
1282 01:23:50 -[Peggy] Oh.-Robert! Darling…
1283 01:23:52 [moans]
1284 01:23:57 [Robert panting]
1285 01:23:58 -[grunts]-[Brown] Oh! Robert.
1286 01:24:01 -[Robert groans]-[Brown] You all right?
1287 01:24:03 [Robert shouts]
1288 01:24:05 [Brown] Robert?
1289 01:24:07 I know she's sick. I know it!There's nothing I can do!
1290 01:24:11 Why is there nothing I can do?I should be able to make her better.
1291 01:24:14 You do. You do make her better.
1292 01:24:17 [Robert]No, she's worse. She is, I can see it!
1293 01:24:20 [sobbing]
1294 01:24:23 She is.
1295 01:24:29 When… When my father died…
1296 01:24:31 [sobs heavily]
1297 01:24:32 [Brown] Mm.
1298 01:24:33 …everyone saidI had to look after my mother.
1299 01:24:37 [sniffles] And I failed.
1300 01:24:39 I failed.
1301 01:24:45 Robert…
1302 01:24:46 [gentle instrumental music playing]
1303 01:24:50 …we all fail.
1304 01:24:54 Every day.
1305 01:24:56 There are some thingswe just can't succeed at…
1306 01:25:01 no matter how hard we try.
1307 01:25:09 I know it's not what you want to hear.
1308 01:25:12 I… I'm stronger than she thinks I am.
1309 01:25:16 [Brown] I know. Perhaps you'll show her.
1310 01:25:22 Now…
1311 01:25:24 we should get you inside, Robert.
1312 01:25:28 Come on.
1313 01:25:30 I think it's time for your bed, you know.Come on, then.
1314 01:25:33 [Pretty breathing steadily]
1315 01:25:36 [Brown and Robert speaking indistinctly]
1316 01:25:43 [Phillips laughing]
1317 01:25:45 [Phillips] Apparently,there's a whole convoy
1318 01:25:47 of hacks on the way.
1319 01:25:50 I already have some jokerfrom the Sunday Mirror asking me
1320 01:25:54 if the ship is still seaworthy.
1321 01:25:57 So, what happens to the treasure?That's the real question.
1322 01:26:01 [radio announcer]Germany has invaded Poland…
1323 01:26:03 [Piggott] Have you seen my wife?
1324 01:26:04 …and has bombed many towns.
1325 01:26:06 Orders completing the mobilizationof the Navy, Army, and Air Force
1326 01:26:10 were signed by the King at a meetingthis afternoon of the privy council.
1327 01:26:14 [radio announcer 2]The King and Queen decided...
1328 01:26:16 [Phillips sighs] Well.
1329 01:26:19 Here we go, then.
1330 01:26:20 The Queen drove from the palace to visitthe Westminister ARP headquarters.
1331 01:26:27 [somber instrumental music playing]
1332 01:26:54 [Rory] I've just received this.
1333 01:27:00 I'm to reportto RAF Martlesham this morning.
1334 01:27:03 There's the inquest.
1335 01:27:05 [scoffs] It's my medical assessment.I can't… I can't bunk it. Sorry.
1336 01:27:09 I put some photographsin the dining room for your guests.
1337 01:27:14 Rory, I'm telling youin no uncertain terms
1338 01:27:16 that you cannot possibly die.
1339 01:27:17 [scoffs]
1340 01:27:19 [Pretty] I'm saying this most seriously.Don't you dare put yourself in danger.
1341 01:27:24 Well… I'm not sureI shall have much choice. [chuckles]
1342 01:27:30 Robert is going to need you.
1343 01:27:34 Do you understand?
1344 01:27:36 [Brown] Good morning, Robert.
1345 01:27:38 -Today's the day.-I want to take my mother sailing.
1346 01:27:41 I don't thinkthat ship is sailing anywhere.
1347 01:27:43 You know, it's just compacted sand.
1348 01:27:46 There's nothing holding it, except time.
1349 01:27:49 -That won't matter. Not where we're going.-Now, where's that, then?
1350 01:27:53 -Will you come?-[Brown] Well, if I'm invited, I'll come.
1351 01:27:59 -Morning.-[Rory] Hello.
1352 01:28:03 Those for me?
1353 01:28:05 [laughs] No, I'm looking for my wife.
1354 01:28:09 Well, perhaps you'd say goodbye for me.
1355 01:28:11 I've been called up.
1356 01:28:13 Oh.
1357 01:28:15 Of course.
1358 01:28:17 Well, best of British.
1359 01:28:20 Stuart.
1360 01:28:22 [Piggott] I… I bought you these.
1361 01:28:26 How lovely.
1362 01:28:32 Um, Lomax was just telling methat he's been called up.
1363 01:28:39 Oh.
1364 01:28:41 -Uh, well, it…-[Rory] Um…
1365 01:28:44 [Peggy] Well, I…
1366 01:28:46 Uh, I'd better go. Goodbye.
1367 01:28:57 Uh…
1368 01:29:13 [radio announcer]According to an official telegram,
1369 01:29:15 Warsaw has been bombed six times today.
1370 01:29:20 The telegram adds that fightingof a most serious nature continues
1371 01:29:23 on the whole length of the front.
1372 01:29:24 We're in for another bloody mess.
1373 01:29:27 [reporter 1] Oh, here we go.Did you hear the results?
1374 01:29:30 [people and reporters clamoring]
1375 01:29:33 -[reporter 2] I just want a quick photo!-[woman] Mrs. Pretty!
1376 01:29:36 [officer] Please, make way.
1377 01:29:37 [crowd clamoring]
1378 01:29:41 [Brown] Make way, please.
1379 01:29:45 -Do you want me in the car with you?-[Pretty] Yes.
1380 01:29:48 [Brown] Maynard! Maynard!
1381 01:29:50 Maynard? Can you make suremy wife gets in the house?
1382 01:29:54 [crowd continues clamoring]
1383 01:29:57 [Phillips] I… I hope I havethe opportunity to speak to you later.
1384 01:30:03 -[woman 2] Mrs. Pretty?-[woman 3] Mrs. Pretty!
1385 01:30:08 [car horn honking loudly]
1386 01:30:10 [crew speaking indistinctly]
1387 01:30:13 [reporters shouting]
1388 01:30:22 [Pretty breathing shakily]
1389 01:30:28 [sobbing] I'm terribly sorry.
1390 01:30:38 Thank you. Thank you.
1391 01:30:42 [Phillips] These peoplewere not savage warriors.
1392 01:30:48 These… These… These were…
1393 01:30:49 These were sophisticated peoplewith incredible artistry.
1394 01:30:56 The Dark Ages are no longer dark.
1395 01:31:00 [brass band playing fanfare]
1396 01:31:03 [indistinct chatter]
1397 01:31:09 [glasses clink]
1398 01:31:10 This is sherry.I suppose it's sherry, is it?
1399 01:31:12 [May] I don't know.
1400 01:31:14 Should we drink it now,or is there going to be a toast?
1401 01:31:17 What's everyone else doing?
1402 01:31:19 [glass clinks repeatedly]
1403 01:31:23 [fanfare ends]
1404 01:31:25 [Pretty] The artifacts discovered herehave caused a national sensation.
1405 01:31:30 [Pretty] You must all know by now
1406 01:31:31 that they were recoveredfrom a chamber in the middle of a ship…
1407 01:31:35 a burial ship, engineered from oak.
1408 01:31:40 In my opinion, the greatestand most beautiful treasure of all.
1409 01:31:45 Ninety feet long, lying east to west.
1410 01:31:50 Found and excavated by Mr. Basil Brown.
1411 01:31:53 [guests applaud]
1412 01:31:55 -To Basil!-Mr. Brown!
1413 01:31:56 [guests cheer]
1414 01:32:03 [sound fades]
1415 01:32:05 [engine running]
1416 01:32:13 [Pretty sobbing, sniffling]
1417 01:32:16 I'm terribly sorry.
1418 01:32:19 I thought you'd be pleasedwith the verdict.
1419 01:32:30 [Pretty] We die.
1420 01:32:34 We die and we decay.
1421 01:32:38 We don't live on.
1422 01:32:43 I'm not sure I agree.
1423 01:32:47 From the first human handprinton a cave wall…
1424 01:32:51 we're part of something continuous.
1425 01:32:56 [Brown] So, we… don't really die.
1426 01:33:00 [gentle piano music playing]
1427 01:33:21 [Peggy cries softly]
1428 01:33:30 -[footsteps approaching]-[Pretty] Rory put these out this morning.
1429 01:33:35 It completely slipped my mind.
1430 01:33:41 [Peggy sobbing]
1431 01:33:52 Sit down.
1432 01:33:55 [Peggy continues sobbing]
1433 01:34:00 [Pretty] I'm surework like yours is very sustaining…
1434 01:34:05 but it's not enough.
1435 01:34:10 Life is very fleeting.
1436 01:34:13 I've learnt that.
1437 01:34:16 It has moments you should seize.
1438 01:34:25 It could not be a better result,Mrs. Pretty.
1439 01:34:28 The whole of Suffolkhas been on your side.
1440 01:34:30 -[Pretty] Yes.-I saw you in her car.
1441 01:34:33 Did she mention her intentions?
1442 01:34:36 -About the tea?-[scoffs] About the treasure, man.
1443 01:34:39 -Oh.-Yes, what's she planning?
1444 01:34:42 We hope that you'll agreethat the Ipswich Museum
1445 01:34:44 is the perfect place for--
1446 01:34:45 -Can we talk another time? Excuse me.-Yes, absolutely. Absolutely. Yes.
1447 01:34:49 [Phillips] She trusts you, man.
1448 01:34:51 Don't let her give it to Ipswich.
1449 01:34:53 The British Museum would buy everything.
1450 01:34:55 It's priceless, of course,but she'll have to be reasonable.
1451 01:34:59 Are you asking me to plead your case?
1452 01:35:02 [Phillips sighs forcefully]
1453 01:35:03 Have some lemon drizzle cake,Mr. Phillips.
1454 01:35:06 It is most refreshing.
1455 01:35:07 [Phillips sighs]
1456 01:35:09 Thank you so much for what you said.I could have cheered.
1457 01:35:12 [Pretty] Mm-hmm.
1458 01:35:14 [May sighs]
1459 01:35:16 [Pretty]My son has formed a strong attachment.
1460 01:35:19 [May] Basil's very fond of him, too.
1461 01:35:23 Perhaps you might let him visit youfrom time to time.
1462 01:35:27 Of course.
1463 01:35:29 We'd be glad to.
1464 01:35:33 -[indistinct chatter]-[Piggott laughing]
1465 01:35:36 -[Piggott] Back in a tick.-[Brailesford] Right.
1466 01:35:38 [crew speaking indistinctly]
1467 01:35:44 C.W.'s suggestingwe make a move to the ball.
1468 01:35:48 Hmm. Well, I thinkthat you should go on… [clears throat]
1469 01:35:52 …uh, without me.
1470 01:35:55 So, will…
1471 01:35:56 will you follow us?
1472 01:35:58 [Peggy sighs] Uh…
1473 01:36:01 I…
1474 01:36:03 I don't think so.
1475 01:36:07 [sighs]
1476 01:36:10 No.
1477 01:36:13 We both have our own pathsto, um, follow, don't we?
1478 01:36:17 And I've seen you when you're happy.
1479 01:36:20 You're rather beautiful.
1480 01:36:22 -I'm happy with you.-[sighs lightly]
1481 01:36:29 -I could… I could learn to be.-[Peggy sighs]
1482 01:36:34 I think that would be an awful shame.
1483 01:36:36 [Brailesford] Stuart! Shall we wait?
1484 01:36:40 [Phillips] Let's… Let's go. Come on.
1485 01:36:44 Go on.
1486 01:36:54 Go on.
1487 01:37:23 [Brown] Hmm.
1488 01:37:26 May… [clicks tongue]
1489 01:37:29 That site, it needs to be made safefor the future,
1490 01:37:32 so it… it don't further decay. So…
1491 01:37:36 that's another week's work.
1492 01:37:40 [May]You say your goodbyes to the old girl.
1493 01:37:44 Do you take care of her.
1494 01:37:52 You… You don't want to stay the night?
1495 01:37:55 I'll see you next week.
1496 01:37:57 [Brown exhales]
1497 01:38:09 [warplanes humming]
1498 01:38:13 [Brown] I'll line the hull with hessian…
1499 01:38:16 and cover thatwith a… a layer of branches…
1500 01:38:20 to protect itfrom the weight of the earth.
1501 01:38:23 All this soil's got to go back in.
1502 01:38:26 Leave it as we found it.
1503 01:38:30 I'm giving the treasureto the British Museum.
1504 01:38:35 As a gift.
1505 01:38:39 It should be where the greatest numberof people can freely see it.
1506 01:38:45 I haven't told them yet.
1507 01:38:48 I wanted to tell you.
1508 01:38:50 [clicks tongue] Well, that's a…That's a hell of a big gift.
1509 01:38:53 [chuckles softly] I don't knowanyone's ever made a gift as big as that.
1510 01:38:58 Apparently, they haven't.
1511 01:39:03 I also told Mr. Phillips that I expectyour work to receive proper recognition.
1512 01:39:13 Thank you.
1513 01:39:19 [birds calling]
1514 01:39:23 [somber piano music playing]
1515 01:39:26 [Brown humming]
1516 01:39:38 [Peggy takes a deep breath]
1517 01:39:44 [sighs]
1518 01:40:06 [birds singing]
1519 01:40:13 [branches rustling]
1520 01:40:16 [Peggy gasps]
1521 01:40:27 -[Robert] Steer it steady, Mr. Brown.-[Brown] Aye, aye.
1522 01:40:30 We're coming towards the edgeof the atmosphere.
1523 01:40:32 Can you see it, Mother?
1524 01:40:33 We're sailing into the cosmos.
1525 01:40:36 Yes, I can. Where are we heading?
1526 01:40:39 Orion's Belt, to take the Queen home.
1527 01:40:43 [Pretty] Which Queen?
1528 01:40:44 This boat's hers. Her people gaveher treasure for her home voyage.
1529 01:40:53 [Robert] And she was sadwhen the ship came…
1530 01:40:57 because she knewshe'd be leaving everyone behind.
1531 01:41:02 And she was worried
1532 01:41:05 that they wouldn't get onvery well without her…
1533 01:41:09 but she knewshe had to follow the King into the sky.
1534 01:41:14 And so, she set off…
1535 01:41:16 through the Earth and up into the cosmos.
1536 01:41:20 -Space is a funny thing.-[Pretty chuckles]
1537 01:41:23 Time operates quite differently up there,and 500 years can pass in a flash.
1538 01:41:31 And the Queen looked back down to Earth.
1539 01:41:34 She could see that her son had grown upand that he was now a space pilot.
1540 01:41:38 [Pretty laughs]
1541 01:41:43 [Robert] And she knew that when he madehis first journey up to the stars,
1542 01:41:48 she would be there to meet him.
1543 01:41:51 [Peggy panting, sobbing]
1544 01:41:56 [seagulls crying]
1545 01:41:59 [Peggy moans]
1546 01:42:03 [Chamberlain on radio]This morning, the British ambassador
1547 01:42:06 in Berlin handedthe German government a final note…
1548 01:42:12 stating that,unless we heard from them by 11 o'clock,
1549 01:42:17 that they were prepared at onceto withdraw their troops from Poland,
1550 01:42:22 a state of war would exist between us.
1551 01:42:27 I have to tell you now
1552 01:42:29 that no such undertakinghas been received,
1553 01:42:33 and that, consequently,this country is at war with Germany.
1554 01:42:38 -Good night, sir.-Good night to you.
1555 01:42:40 [indistinct chatter]
1556 01:42:43 [Chamberlain] You can imaginewhat a bitter blow it is to me
1557 01:42:47 that all my long struggleto win peace has failed.
1558 01:42:51 -Good night to you.-Good night.
1559 01:42:53 [somber piano music playing]
1560 01:42:56 [Chamberlain]The government have made plans
1561 01:42:59 under which it will be possibleto carry on the work of the nation
1562 01:43:03 in the days of stress and strainthat may be ahead…
1563 01:43:07 [coin jingles]
1564 01:43:09 …but these plans need your help.
1565 01:43:15 [Peggy sighs]
1566 01:43:17 [Chamberlain] You may be taking your partin the fighting services
1567 01:43:20 or as a volunteer.
1568 01:43:24 If so, you will report for duty
1569 01:43:26 in accordancewith the instructions you receive.
1570 01:43:29 [Peggy sighs]
1571 01:43:39 [Chamberlain] It is of vital importancethat you should carry on with your jobs.
1572 01:43:46 Now, may God bless you all.
