I'm just looking to get
away from things for a little while.
Well,
it's no paradise out on that island.
Just want to make sure
you know what you're in for.
All due respect, Mr. Coughlan,
it's not likely to be tougher
than the Western Front.
Oh, you're probably right about that.
You pay your own passage
to every posting.
You're a relief worker
so you don't get holidays.
I understand you're a single man.
No family.
So, that's a slight concern.
Wouldn't normally send
a single man to Janus.
It's pretty remote
and wife and family
can be a great practical help,
not just a comfort.
But, seeing it's only temporary,
you leave for Port Partageuse
in two days.
From there you'll be
shipped off to Janus.
Welcome to Commonwealth
Lighthouse Service.
Proud to have a man
who served our country
with such distinction amongst our ranks.
Ah! Mr. Sherbourne, right on time.
Come in, do.
Thank you very much.
Welcome to Partageuse.
Let me introduce you.
This'll probably be
the guest of honor.
This is Mr. Tom Sherbourne,
our new lightkeeper.
How do you do?
Cyril and Bertha Chipper.
How lovely to meet you.
Uh, Bill Graysmark.
- His wife, Violet...
- How do you do?
- And their daughter...
- How do you do?
Oh, she's around here
somewhere. Well...
Mr. Sherbourne, can I tempt you?
Thank you very much.
Oh, Tom, that lighthouse of yours
will be guiding ships
on the Northern Hemisphere
bringing wealth and prosperity
to our land.
God knows we need it after this war.
It's been costly enough
in more ways than one, eh?
Sir.
You think you're up for it?
We'll soon find out.
Oh, please.
The last thing the poor man needs
are your tales of doom and gloom.
Told you she'd turn up.
This is Isabel Graysmark.
Isabel, meet Mr. Sherbourne.
Pleasure to meet you,
Mr. Sherbourne.
Ms. Graysmark.
Janus isn't
a particularly popular posting.
You'll be the only living man
for a good part of
100 miles in any direction.
I don't suppose they told you
why the position became available?
Temporarily available.
Trimble will be back,
and good as new in six months.
Just needs a bit of
recuperation time, that's all.
- Is that all?
- Uh...
Did they inform you,
Mr. Sherbourne?
I don't believe anyone told me
about the specifics.
Doesn't surprise me.
Trimble Docherty
worked the light for nearly six years.
Without incident!
- Without incident.
- Mmm.
Then he caused a stir
when he reported that his wife has been
signaling the passing ships.
Unacceptable, of course,
and for two reasons.
Signaling passing ships
had long been forbidden precisely...
Obviously, he knows that.
What was the other reason?
His wife has been dead for two years.
Simple case of cabin fever
plus a dose of grief, that's all.
Mr. Sherbourne
should have been informed.
Long before he signed
on the dotted line.
I certainly appreciate
your telling me.
And I hope Trimble
recovers from whatever is ailing him.
As for the isolation,
I feel I'm prepared for it.
In fact, after France,
the idea of a little time alone,
I welcome it.
Hear, hear.
Well said, Mr. Sherbourne.
Well said. Here's to the future.
- To the future.
- To the future.
We wish you all the best.
All the best.
- All the best.
- All the best.
Please look us up
next time you're coming back through.
Been a pleasure meeting you all.
I think he was
a very impressive young man.
Oh, yes.
Well, he's just come home...
Too late
to change your mind now, son.
Six months is nothing!
If you're not trying to hold your breath.
Goodbye, Tom.
Well done, Sherbourne.
