Glorious 39 Page #6

Synopsis: 1939 is set between present-day London and the idyllic British countryside in the time before the beginning of the Second World War. At a time of uncertainty and high tension, the story revolves around the formidable Keyes family, who are keen to uphold and preserve their very traditional way of life. The eldest sibling Anne is a budding young actress who is in love with Foreign Office official Lawrence, but her seemingly perfect life begins to dramatically unravel when she stumbles across secret recordings of the pro-appeasement movement. While trying to discover the origin of these recordings, dark secrets are revealed which lead to the death of a great friend. As war breaks out Anne discovers the truth and flees to London to try to confirm her suspicions, but she is caught and imprisoned and only then does she finally begin to discover how badly she has been betrayed.

There shouldn't be.

Oliver?

They must have come back for him.

Oliver?

Oliver!

Hello!

Papa!

Have you got Oliver with you?!

Papa?

Walter! Didn't you hear me?

Have they got Oliver with them?

- No. YOU'VE got Oliver.

- No, he's gone.

Somebody must've come back

for him when I wasn't looking.

He's not on the mossy island.

I've just been there.

Hello? Who's that?

Walter, go back and get them all,

right now. Go on.

Go and get them all right now.

Quick!

Oliver!

Oliver!

Who's got Oliver?!

Walter! What are you doing here?

I told you to go and find them all!

I've done that. They're all

coming back. I came to help.

- Are you playing a game, Walter?

- No, I'm not playing a game.

Did you move Oliver?

Were you told to play a game?

I told you, I am not playing a game.

Tell me where Oliver is.

Tell me where he is!

Anne!

There she is.

- Have you got Oliver?

- We haven't.

He's gone!

I was just there, and

I turned round and he was gone,

- and the pushchair vanished!

- Calm down.

- He can't have gone far.

- They took the pushchair!

- My God!

- I found his shoe.

If we all fan out,

we can cover a lot of ground.

I'm so sorry!

- Oliver!

- Oliver!

I think we should take this path.

But I've looked here. Of course I have.

We're following the path!

- I've been down this path.

- Everything's all right.

Everything's going to be all right.

He's not anywhere here.

I've looked here, of course I have!

Oliver!

My God! Thank God!

We've found him, everybody!

Here he is, safe and sound.

The panic's over.

I'm sorry!

How on earth did he get there?

I don't know. I really don't know. I...

I must have fallen asleep

for a few seconds and... he was gone.

- Somebody moved him.

- Somebody moved him?

Maybe you were concentrating

so much on your lines, darling,

- you walked with him, not realising.

- I didn't walk with him!

- I didn't move him!

- Are you sure about that?

- You said you fell asleep.

- I didn't walk with him.

I didn't move him,

I'm absolutely certain.

I did not move him!

He did have a hell of a lot

packed away in our sheds.

I hear they've got

the Duke of Wellington

to take several tons

of confidential material

and put it in his basement!

They're so worried

about Communist infiltration,

they'd rather put it

in a duke's wine cellar.

What excuse did you give, Papa,

to make him take it all away?

I said in winter the sheds all leak.

I didn't move the baby.

You ought to believe me.

- I do.

- Then who moved him?

- It was Walter.

- Walter?

- Why would he do that?

- Maybe it WAS the boy. Who knows?

Perhaps he'd had wine

when we weren't looking.

Or somebody

asked him to move him.
