00:00:11,859 --> 00:00:14,650
Winston Churchill: I have
myself full confidence that if

4
00:00:14,650 --> 00:00:16,359
all do their that they'll
all do their duty,

5
00:00:16,359 --> 00:00:19,442
we shall prove
ourselves once more

6
00:00:19,442 --> 00:00:23,442
able to defend
our island home,

7
00:00:26,734 --> 00:00:30,109
to ride out the
storm of war

8
00:00:30,109 --> 00:00:33,068
and to outlive the
menace of tyranny.

9
00:00:33,068 --> 00:00:35,901
We'll defend to our death
our native soil,

10
00:00:35,901 --> 00:00:38,901
aiding each other
like good comrades

11
00:00:38,901 --> 00:00:41,068
to the utmost of their strength.

12
00:00:41,068 --> 00:00:42,901
We shall go onto the end.

13
00:00:42,901 --> 00:00:45,068
We shall fight in France.

14
00:00:45,068 --> 00:00:47,942
We shall fight on
the seas and oceans.

15
00:00:47,942 --> 00:00:52,859
We shall fight with growing
confidence and growing strength

16
00:00:52,859 --> 00:00:54,942
in the air.

17
00:00:56,650 --> 00:00:59,525
We shall never surrender.

18
00:01:19,192 --> 00:01:23,400
Priest: There is, perhaps,
no condition more confusing

19
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,359
or unwelcome than grief.

20
00:01:26,817 --> 00:01:28,901
There's no escaping it.

21
00:01:28,901 --> 00:01:32,233
This is a river that
must be crossed,

22
00:01:32,233 --> 00:01:34,942
a desert that must be traversed.

23
00:01:34,942 --> 00:01:37,817
The mountain that
must be climbed.

24
00:01:37,817 --> 00:01:42,275
One day we will be able to look
back and truly appreciate that

25
00:01:42,275 --> 00:01:43,817
Wendy is in a better place,

26
00:01:43,817 --> 00:01:49,150
resting forever in the
arms of the Lord.

27
00:01:49,776 --> 00:01:52,026
Amen.

28
00:01:54,776 --> 00:01:57,484
And now I believe Wendy's
granddaughter would like to say

29
00:01:57,484 --> 00:01:59,525
a few words.

30
00:02:14,359 --> 00:02:19,233
Thank you so much,
everyone, for coming.

31
00:02:19,233 --> 00:02:21,650
I know Nana would have been
thrilled to see you all,

32
00:02:21,650 --> 00:02:24,525
though she probably would have
scolded you for being in church

33
00:02:24,525 --> 00:02:27,484
when there's a match on.

34
00:02:28,817 --> 00:02:32,275
Growing up, I always knew
that I had the nicest,

35
00:02:32,275 --> 00:02:34,026
sweetest grandmother
in the world,

36
00:02:34,026 --> 00:02:40,776
but what I didn't know was that
she was also strong and fierce

37
00:02:40,776 --> 00:02:42,692
and resilient.

38
00:02:42,692 --> 00:02:46,275
I never met the Wendy that got
kicked out of her parent's house

39
00:02:46,275 --> 00:02:49,609
and had to learn to
make it on her own.

40
00:02:49,609 --> 00:02:53,734
I never met the Wendy that
worked nights for 20 years so

41
00:02:53,734 --> 00:02:56,650
that my dad could go to school.

42
00:02:58,026 --> 00:03:01,026
Sweetness and gentleness
are wonderful qualities,

43
00:03:01,026 --> 00:03:06,275
but sometimes I wish that
I had met the other Wendy.

44
00:03:06,275 --> 00:03:10,026
The one that kicked
such serious ass.

45
00:03:10,026 --> 00:03:13,901
And I'm grateful for that
Wendy and I wish that

46
00:03:13,901 --> 00:03:16,400
I could have known her.

47
00:03:47,734 --> 00:03:50,817
Well, that was a weird
speech, Claire bear.

48
00:03:50,817 --> 00:03:52,192
Thanks, Kev.

49
00:03:52,192 --> 00:03:53,233
Where is Gordy?

50
00:03:53,233 --> 00:03:54,400
Wasn't sure if he should come.

51
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,776
He barely knew Nana and I
thought it might just upset him.

52
00:03:57,776 --> 00:03:59,109
Malcolm took him for the day.

53
00:03:59,109 --> 00:04:01,359
You let the wanker take him?

54
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,776
Praise be to God, Mrs Crabtree.

55
00:04:07,567 --> 00:04:11,567
Don't call him a wanker,
we're not supposed to do that.

56
00:04:11,567 --> 00:04:12,567
Why not?

57
00:04:12,567 --> 00:04:14,192
I don't know, health?

58
00:04:14,192 --> 00:04:15,317
It's all the rage now.

59
00:04:15,317 --> 00:04:17,109
You're not supposed
to hate each other,

60
00:04:17,109 --> 00:04:19,609
you're supposed to
consciously uncouple.

61
00:04:19,609 --> 00:04:22,776
That is the stupidest
thing I've ever heard.

62
00:04:22,776 --> 00:04:25,233
Honestly, I miss him.

63
00:04:25,233 --> 00:04:26,317
Well you shouldn't.

64
00:04:26,317 --> 00:04:28,609
He's a wanker.

65
00:04:29,026 --> 00:04:32,068
Who's the suit talking to dad?

66
00:04:33,817 --> 00:04:36,609
I don't know.

67
00:04:36,609 --> 00:04:37,984
Are you coming home?

68
00:04:37,984 --> 00:04:40,192
Yeah, Malcolm's
dropping off Gordy.

69
00:04:40,192 --> 00:04:41,734
We'll stay in the spare room.

70
00:04:41,734 --> 00:04:43,317
I'm planning an
early night, though,

71
00:04:43,317 --> 00:04:46,109
so don't let me have any wine.

72
00:04:47,109 --> 00:04:49,734
[laughter]

73
00:04:49,734 --> 00:04:51,275
And the dandelions.

74
00:04:51,275 --> 00:04:51,942
Oh my God.

75
00:04:51,942 --> 00:04:55,484
Every spring, more of
them, just like a carpet.

76
00:04:55,484 --> 00:04:58,484
Claire: I bet it drove her
neighbors mental.

77
00:04:58,484 --> 00:04:58,984
Kevin: Oh, it did.

78
00:04:58,984 --> 00:04:59,817
She would never let
them touch them.

79
00:04:59,817 --> 00:05:04,609
And then in the spring,
dandelion fluff everywhere.

80
00:05:04,609 --> 00:05:08,650
Beauty in all
things, that was Nan.

81
00:05:08,650 --> 00:05:10,859
Oh God.

82
00:05:10,859 --> 00:05:12,942
Kevin: To Nana Barlow.

83
00:05:12,942 --> 00:05:15,734
All: To Nana Barlow.

84
00:05:28,109 --> 00:05:31,068
Is Gordy in bed?

85
00:05:31,068 --> 00:05:32,317
Hours ago.

86
00:05:32,317 --> 00:05:32,901
Daphne: Poor bunny.

87
00:05:32,901 --> 00:05:36,692
I wish he'd got more
opportunities to meet his Nan.

88
00:05:36,692 --> 00:05:39,817
Me too.

89
00:05:40,525 --> 00:05:41,859
Right, dad, do tell.

90
00:05:41,859 --> 00:05:43,734
Kevin: Did she leave
you any money?

91
00:05:43,734 --> 00:05:44,817
Kevin.

92
00:05:44,817 --> 00:05:45,609
What?

93
00:05:45,609 --> 00:05:49,650
She wrote me a letter.

94
00:05:49,650 --> 00:05:55,776
Apparently she wrote it
just before she passed away.

95
00:05:55,776 --> 00:05:57,026
Why?

96
00:05:57,026 --> 00:06:03,984
She wanted me to know more
about your grandfather,

97
00:06:03,984 --> 00:06:05,984
my father.

98
00:06:06,609 --> 00:06:09,068
Kevin: It's a bit late,
isn't it?

99
00:06:09,068 --> 00:06:10,942
What does it say?

100
00:06:17,525 --> 00:06:23,525
My dear son, I have never told
you much about your father,

101
00:06:23,525 --> 00:06:25,942
mostly because...

102
00:06:25,942 --> 00:06:26,776
It's okay.

103
00:06:26,776 --> 00:06:29,400
It's her handwriting.

104
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,400
Here, dad, let me.

105
00:06:36,192 --> 00:06:38,650
Claire: My dear son.

106
00:06:38,650 --> 00:06:41,359
I have never told you
much about your father,

107
00:06:41,359 --> 00:06:44,650
mostly because there's
not been much to tell.

108
00:06:44,650 --> 00:06:47,817
You know that he was a
pilot in the air force.

109
00:06:47,817 --> 00:06:50,359
You know that his
name was Gordon,

110
00:06:50,359 --> 00:06:54,068
but there were two things
that I did not tell you.

111
00:06:54,068 --> 00:06:58,109
He was a Canadian and
his name was Devereux.

112
00:06:58,109 --> 00:07:03,233
I used to ask her what
his last name was.

113
00:07:03,233 --> 00:07:08,442
She would just say your
name is Donald Barlow

114
00:07:08,442 --> 00:07:11,275
and you should be proud of it.

115
00:07:11,275 --> 00:07:13,942
You didn't know
he was Canadian.

116
00:07:13,942 --> 00:07:17,650
I just assumed he was RAF.

117
00:07:18,275 --> 00:07:24,359
I used to invent stories that
he was from Wales or Scotland

118
00:07:24,359 --> 00:07:27,901
or came from a titled family.

119
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,192
Claire: Was it just a fling?

120
00:07:34,692 --> 00:07:37,317
More than that, I think.

121
00:07:37,317 --> 00:07:42,650
I didn't notice it when I was
younger, but looking back,

122
00:07:42,650 --> 00:07:48,525
she always talked about
him like they were married.

123
00:07:48,525 --> 00:07:50,317
Were they?

124
00:07:50,317 --> 00:07:53,150
No, never.

125
00:07:53,150 --> 00:07:59,150
That's why she got kicked out,
when her parents learned about

126
00:07:59,150 --> 00:08:02,026
the pregnancy.

127
00:08:02,609 --> 00:08:08,650
I only ever had one letter
from him and it was a postcard.

128
00:08:13,484 --> 00:08:15,109
Let me read it.

129
00:08:15,109 --> 00:08:15,984
I can do it.

130
00:08:15,984 --> 00:08:21,109
My dear Wendy, I have to tell
you that I'm on the move again.

131
00:08:21,109 --> 00:08:24,359
We have to help finish
things off with Japan.

132
00:08:24,359 --> 00:08:28,026
I'll write when I get
there and as soon as I can.

133
00:08:28,026 --> 00:08:30,692
All my love, Gordon.

134
00:08:30,692 --> 00:08:34,150
And she never heard
from him again?

135
00:08:35,817 --> 00:08:37,650
Not that I know of.

136
00:08:44,359 --> 00:08:46,150
Ahem...

137
00:08:46,150 --> 00:08:48,233
He was a fine man, Donald.

138
00:08:48,233 --> 00:08:54,068
He would have been so proud
of you, and you of him.

139
00:08:54,068 --> 00:09:00,192
I wish life had been different
and that you two could have

140
00:09:00,192 --> 00:09:02,650
known each other.

141
00:09:02,650 --> 00:09:07,400
With much love, mom.

142
00:09:07,567 --> 00:09:09,484
-That's weird.
-Claire.

143
00:09:09,484 --> 00:09:12,150
No, I mean, it's
a beautiful note.

144
00:09:12,150 --> 00:09:13,901
Very romantic, very sad.

145
00:09:13,901 --> 00:09:17,068
But why wait until
now to give it to you?

146
00:09:17,068 --> 00:09:19,275
Maybe she, he didn't
want to discuss it.

147
00:09:19,275 --> 00:09:23,984
It was probably a
very painful memory.

148
00:09:23,984 --> 00:09:28,400
Maybe she wanted
me to find him.

149
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,942
Don, be realistic.

150
00:09:30,942 --> 00:09:36,442
Yeah, what are the chances
this guy's even still alive?

151
00:09:38,442 --> 00:09:42,776
23rd of May, 1945.

152
00:09:42,776 --> 00:09:44,942
May...

153
00:09:44,942 --> 00:09:47,442
And he went to the Pacific.

154
00:09:47,442 --> 00:09:51,442
You know, I have a friend at the
Kew archives who could probably-

155
00:09:51,442 --> 00:09:52,609
Somebody stop her.

156
00:09:52,609 --> 00:09:56,109
Claire, this isn't one of
your human interest stories.

157
00:09:56,109 --> 00:09:57,776
This is your father's life.

158
00:09:57,776 --> 00:09:58,692
He's right though.

159
00:09:58,692 --> 00:10:01,692
What if Nan wanted
dad to go looking?

160
00:10:01,692 --> 00:10:03,484
Don't be absurd.

161
00:10:05,068 --> 00:10:06,150
There's a postscript on this.

162
00:10:06,150 --> 00:10:09,109
Your father used to say that
when he got back to Canada,

163
00:10:09,109 --> 00:10:13,233
the first thing he would do is
pack his tent and head west to

164
00:10:13,233 --> 00:10:16,692
go camping in the mountains.

165
00:10:17,525 --> 00:10:21,233
Why would she write that if she
didn't want you to go looking?

166
00:10:21,233 --> 00:10:23,567
She's giving you a clue.

167
00:10:24,484 --> 00:10:27,275
Gordy, what are you doing up?

168
00:10:28,734 --> 00:10:32,525
Let's get you some water and
put you back to bed, okay?

169
00:10:32,525 --> 00:10:33,734
Come on.

170
00:10:33,734 --> 00:10:35,567
Let's go.

171
00:10:42,525 --> 00:10:45,192
There, you cozy?

172
00:10:45,650 --> 00:10:48,317
Did you have a good
day with your dad?

173
00:10:48,650 --> 00:10:51,484
Or did you miss your
old mom too much?

174
00:10:52,317 --> 00:10:55,359
Can dad come and pick
us up in the morning?

175
00:10:56,233 --> 00:10:58,567
We're going to stay with
grandma and grandpa for a couple

176
00:10:58,567 --> 00:11:01,984
of days, but that
will be fun, right?

177
00:11:04,317 --> 00:11:08,525
Hey, I love you so much.

178
00:11:10,192 --> 00:11:12,109
Goodnight, Bunny.

179
00:11:17,734 --> 00:11:18,692
Daphne: Is he okay?

180
00:11:18,692 --> 00:11:22,317
Claire: Oh, he'll be fine,
it's his mom who's a mess.

181
00:11:22,317 --> 00:11:25,109
Par for the course.

182
00:11:27,901 --> 00:11:29,109
What are you looking at?

183
00:11:29,109 --> 00:11:33,275
There's an organization
set up for people like me,

184
00:11:33,275 --> 00:11:36,525
whose fathers were
visiting serviceman.

185
00:11:36,525 --> 00:11:37,901
Connection Closure.

186
00:11:37,901 --> 00:11:40,068
It, it sounds like a scam.

187
00:11:40,068 --> 00:11:41,233
Well, the BBC covered them.

188
00:11:41,233 --> 00:11:46,567
But you have so little to go on
and you've always assumed your

189
00:11:46,567 --> 00:11:47,734
father had died.

190
00:11:47,734 --> 00:11:50,192
Why would Wendy let you
think any different?

191
00:11:50,192 --> 00:11:54,068
Maybe she thought it was better
to have a dead parent than one

192
00:11:54,068 --> 00:11:56,984
who would just walk out on you.

193
00:12:00,068 --> 00:12:03,692
No, Claire, I didn't mean...

194
00:12:03,692 --> 00:12:05,317
No, of course not.

195
00:12:05,317 --> 00:12:06,650
It's okay.

196
00:12:06,650 --> 00:12:10,109
Gordy knows his dad loves him.

197
00:12:10,109 --> 00:12:11,901
Besides, it's
different now, anyway.

198
00:12:11,901 --> 00:12:16,400
That's right, lots of children
these days only have one parent.

199
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:17,442
In the '40s and '50s-

200
00:12:17,442 --> 00:12:19,859
Did Nana have any
boyfriends growing up?

201
00:12:19,859 --> 00:12:23,609
As far as I know,
there was just him.

202
00:12:23,609 --> 00:12:25,484
Gordon Devereux.

203
00:12:25,484 --> 00:12:28,734
I think we should let
sleeping dogs lie.

204
00:12:28,734 --> 00:12:29,109
Mom.

205
00:12:29,109 --> 00:12:31,233
Dad should call these
connection people.

206
00:12:31,233 --> 00:12:33,026
What's the harm in asking?

207
00:12:33,026 --> 00:12:34,859
I don't like it.

208
00:12:34,859 --> 00:12:37,692
Well, it's not a
democracy, mom.

209
00:12:38,442 --> 00:12:40,442
It's up to dad.

210
00:12:40,442 --> 00:12:43,484
What do you want to do?

211
00:12:46,525 --> 00:12:51,233
I'll need some time
to think about it.

212
00:12:56,567 --> 00:12:59,859
Claire: I just don't understand
why you're so worried about it.

213
00:12:59,859 --> 00:13:01,817
What's the worst
that could happen?

214
00:13:01,817 --> 00:13:04,817
The worst that could happen?

215
00:13:04,817 --> 00:13:06,400
That's really good, Gordy.

216
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,109
What are you building?

217
00:13:08,109 --> 00:13:09,484
Nice.

218
00:13:09,484 --> 00:13:13,275
The worst that could happen
is your father gets his

219
00:13:13,275 --> 00:13:14,233
heartbroken.

220
00:13:14,233 --> 00:13:16,734
Not if he finds
Gordon Devereux.

221
00:13:16,734 --> 00:13:17,317
Claire...

222
00:13:17,317 --> 00:13:20,776
Imagine that you're an old
man at the end of your days

223
00:13:20,776 --> 00:13:24,109
and one day you're sat at
home and the doorbell rings.

224
00:13:24,109 --> 00:13:26,525
You open it and there's
some person standing there,

225
00:13:26,525 --> 00:13:31,068
a woman say, and she says,
"Hi, you don't know me,

226
00:13:31,068 --> 00:13:32,109
but I'm your daughter.

227
00:13:32,109 --> 00:13:33,942
Fancy having a cup
of tea together?"

228
00:13:33,942 --> 00:13:34,484
What would you do?

229
00:13:34,484 --> 00:13:36,484
I'd slam the bloody
door in her face.

230
00:13:36,484 --> 00:13:36,859
Mom.

231
00:13:36,859 --> 00:13:39,692
Cheeky bitch, DNA does
not make you family.

232
00:13:39,692 --> 00:13:43,275
I just don't understand how you
could not want to dive headfirst

233
00:13:43,275 --> 00:13:44,192
into this.

234
00:13:44,192 --> 00:13:47,359
I mean, the intrigue,
the romance.

235
00:13:47,359 --> 00:13:50,692
Claire, I'm not the journalist.

236
00:13:50,692 --> 00:13:52,233
You dive in all you want.

237
00:13:52,233 --> 00:13:56,233
I'm going to focus on
keeping your father happy.

238
00:13:56,233 --> 00:14:00,150
Maybe keeping him happy means
letting him have a parent that's

239
00:14:00,150 --> 00:14:01,442
still alive.

240
00:14:01,442 --> 00:14:03,400
If your father knows
what's good for him,

241
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,317
he will forget all about this.

242
00:14:05,317 --> 00:14:06,192
Mom I...

243
00:14:06,192 --> 00:14:06,692
[phone vibrates]

244
00:14:06,692 --> 00:14:09,192
Daphne: Try an orange
one or a red one.

245
00:14:09,192 --> 00:14:11,567
Claire: Hello?

246
00:14:11,567 --> 00:14:12,984
Yes.

247
00:14:12,984 --> 00:14:14,692
Oh, perfect.

248
00:14:14,692 --> 00:14:17,150
No, that would be wonderful.

249
00:14:17,901 --> 00:14:20,359
Yes, perfect.

250
00:14:20,359 --> 00:14:21,233
Thank you.

251
00:14:21,233 --> 00:14:23,984
Thank you so much.

252
00:14:28,901 --> 00:14:32,068
Alex: Connection and Closure
originated five years ago.

253
00:14:32,068 --> 00:14:34,567
It was my mother who
started the whole thing off.

254
00:14:34,567 --> 00:14:37,734
Like you, she was
searching for her father.

255
00:14:37,734 --> 00:14:40,442
Kevin: Did she find him?

256
00:14:40,442 --> 00:14:41,776
She did.

257
00:14:41,776 --> 00:14:43,859
That's wonderful.

258
00:14:43,859 --> 00:14:44,901
Isn't that wonderful?

259
00:14:44,901 --> 00:14:47,317
Claire: How many people are
in a similar situation?

260
00:14:47,317 --> 00:14:49,984
Fathers who came and
went during the war.

261
00:14:49,984 --> 00:14:51,192
In the UK?

262
00:14:51,192 --> 00:14:56,192
25,000, another 10,000
in the Netherlands.

263
00:14:56,192 --> 00:14:59,192
My own mother is a US citizen,
but even there,

264
00:14:59,192 --> 00:15:01,150
she's not alone
in her situation.

265
00:15:01,150 --> 00:15:03,275
Soldiers moved around a lot.

266
00:15:03,275 --> 00:15:04,609
And they shag a lot, too.

267
00:15:04,609 --> 00:15:05,567
Kevin!

268
00:15:05,567 --> 00:15:06,442
He's not wrong.

269
00:15:06,442 --> 00:15:09,650
More and more people that were
fathered by servicemen now want

270
00:15:09,650 --> 00:15:11,442
to know who their fathers are.

271
00:15:11,442 --> 00:15:12,734
Who their father is.

272
00:15:12,734 --> 00:15:14,776
Surely they can
each have only one.

273
00:15:14,776 --> 00:15:17,776
So let me get this
straight, Mr Hoogstra.

274
00:15:17,776 --> 00:15:18,484
Please call me Alex.

275
00:15:18,484 --> 00:15:22,026
You get what information you
can from us and then you just

276
00:15:22,026 --> 00:15:24,484
ship it off to Canada to
find the father, right?

277
00:15:24,484 --> 00:15:26,359
I will take the
information myself.

278
00:15:26,359 --> 00:15:28,984
The United States is my home,
I travel from there.

279
00:15:28,984 --> 00:15:32,692
And when you find him,
if you find him,

280
00:15:32,692 --> 00:15:35,817
you simply just walk on up,
knock on his door,

281
00:15:35,817 --> 00:15:38,275
announce he has a son
to meet, chop, chop,

282
00:15:38,275 --> 00:15:40,525
and hope he doesn't
die of a heart attack?

283
00:15:40,525 --> 00:15:44,317
Well, I'd be a little
more gentle than that.

284
00:15:44,317 --> 00:15:45,442
Daphne.

285
00:15:45,442 --> 00:15:50,484
If I locate your father
and he's still living,

286
00:15:50,484 --> 00:15:57,692
I alone shall make the initial
contact and if I find that he's

287
00:15:57,692 --> 00:16:00,317
amenable to the idea
of meeting with you,

288
00:16:00,317 --> 00:16:03,109
at that point, and
that point only,

289
00:16:03,109 --> 00:16:05,400
I shall release his
personal information.

290
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,734
It's a system that
requires patience,

291
00:16:07,734 --> 00:16:10,984
but it provides absolute
confidentiality to you

292
00:16:10,984 --> 00:16:12,192
and the person you're seeking.

293
00:16:12,192 --> 00:16:17,400
You mean, even if you find him,
you won't tell me who he is.

294
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,650
And vice versa, unless both
parties agree to meet.

295
00:16:21,650 --> 00:16:23,317
How long will it take?

296
00:16:23,317 --> 00:16:26,817
Between two to six months.

297
00:16:26,817 --> 00:16:29,400
We'll need some
time to discuss it.

298
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,233
Alex: Of course.

299
00:16:33,609 --> 00:16:34,901
Thank you for coming.

300
00:16:34,901 --> 00:16:37,817
I look forward to
hearing from you.

301
00:16:39,359 --> 00:16:45,692
Was your mother glad she'd
chosen to meet her father?

302
00:16:45,692 --> 00:16:47,734
They never met.

303
00:16:47,734 --> 00:16:50,776
He refused to see her.

304
00:17:03,109 --> 00:17:05,275
I was ecstatic when the agency

305
00:17:05,275 --> 00:17:07,150
told me they had
found my father,

306
00:17:07,150 --> 00:17:12,192
but a week later they told
me he wouldn't even see me.

307
00:17:12,192 --> 00:17:16,442
He wouldn't even
admit I existed.

308
00:17:18,567 --> 00:17:20,942
Documentarian:
Jane's story is sadly typical.

309
00:17:20,942 --> 00:17:24,567
Less than 10% of fathers
contacted agreed to meet with

310
00:17:24,567 --> 00:17:26,442
their children.

311
00:17:33,817 --> 00:17:36,317
If the expense worries you...

312
00:17:36,317 --> 00:17:41,026
At our age,
it's this or Monte Carlo.

313
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,734
I just don't understand why
you suddenly need a father.

314
00:17:45,734 --> 00:17:48,734
I thought you were happy.

315
00:17:48,734 --> 00:17:50,109
I am.

316
00:17:50,109 --> 00:17:52,650
Then why is it not enough?

317
00:17:52,650 --> 00:17:56,192
Why are we suddenly inadequate?

318
00:17:58,984 --> 00:18:03,068
Sweetheart, it's not that.

319
00:18:03,068 --> 00:18:09,817
It's just knowing
that he didn't die,

320
00:18:09,817 --> 00:18:12,109
that he's really there,

321
00:18:12,109 --> 00:18:18,442
would be like filling in a space
that's been empty my whole life.

322
00:18:18,442 --> 00:18:23,068
Would be like knowing
a part of my mother.

323
00:18:23,068 --> 00:18:27,275
Is this for her or for you?

324
00:18:28,776 --> 00:18:31,317
Both?

325
00:18:32,484 --> 00:18:33,233
Okay.

326
00:18:33,233 --> 00:18:36,817
You do what you
have to, I suppose.

327
00:18:37,734 --> 00:18:38,942
Are you sure?

328
00:18:38,942 --> 00:18:42,692
You don't need my
permission, Donald.

329
00:19:17,109 --> 00:19:20,068
Claire: How you doing?

330
00:19:21,109 --> 00:19:23,359
Are you feeling grouchy?

331
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:24,525
No.

332
00:19:24,525 --> 00:19:28,026
A little grouchy.

333
00:19:28,859 --> 00:19:29,901
What's that?

334
00:19:29,901 --> 00:19:31,400
Claire: What does it look like?

335
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:32,359
Gordie: A plane.

336
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,692
Yeah, it's an old plane.

337
00:19:35,692 --> 00:19:41,068

342
00:20:31,692 --> 00:20:33,275
Mr Devereux.

343
00:20:33,275 --> 00:20:33,942
Yes?

344
00:20:33,942 --> 00:20:34,734
My name is Alex Hoogstra.

345
00:20:34,734 --> 00:20:36,942
I'm a researcher with
Connection and Closure.

346
00:20:36,942 --> 00:20:37,984
Gordon: Connection what?

347
00:20:37,984 --> 00:20:39,442
Alex: Closure.

348
00:20:39,442 --> 00:20:40,650
May I come in?

349
00:20:40,650 --> 00:20:41,650
Researching what exactly?

350
00:20:41,650 --> 00:20:44,068
We try to make connections
between people like yourself,

351
00:20:44,068 --> 00:20:46,650
who had a significant role
in World War II and-

352
00:20:46,650 --> 00:20:49,817
Oh, yeah, I don't want
to talk about that.

353
00:20:49,817 --> 00:20:50,734
The book is closed.

354
00:20:50,734 --> 00:20:53,484
I'm working on behalf of
someone that would like to

355
00:20:53,484 --> 00:20:54,317
reopen it.

356
00:20:54,317 --> 00:20:56,192
Yeah, well I'm not interested.

357
00:20:56,192 --> 00:20:57,901
But if someone were to want to-

358
00:20:57,901 --> 00:20:58,817
I said no.

359
00:20:58,817 --> 00:21:02,484
Well, would you mind confirming
for me that you flew

360
00:21:02,484 --> 00:21:07,859
for the 532 squadron and
that in November, 1944,

361
00:21:07,859 --> 00:21:09,859
you were on loan to
the Royal Air Force

362
00:21:09,859 --> 00:21:11,484
for a special operation?

363
00:21:11,484 --> 00:21:12,442
Stop.

364
00:21:12,442 --> 00:21:18,317
This person, the one
who sent you, who is it?

365
00:21:18,317 --> 00:21:20,567
I'm not permitted to say.

366
00:21:20,567 --> 00:21:24,400
Was it John Webster,
my navigator?

367
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:25,901
How's he?

368
00:21:25,901 --> 00:21:27,317
Is he still alive?

369
00:21:27,317 --> 00:21:30,109
I really can't say.

370
00:21:30,109 --> 00:21:31,109
Eddie Solomon.

371
00:21:31,109 --> 00:21:33,942
I need to respect
their privacy.

372
00:21:35,984 --> 00:21:38,233
Their privacy.

373
00:21:39,942 --> 00:21:41,817
How did you even know all this?

374
00:21:41,817 --> 00:21:44,484
Your military records
are now public domain.

375
00:21:44,484 --> 00:21:45,275
Public domain?

376
00:21:45,275 --> 00:21:46,359
Accessible to anyone.

377
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,317
Yeah, well, I'm not.

378
00:21:48,317 --> 00:21:49,275
This interview is over.

379
00:21:49,275 --> 00:21:54,109
Did you spend time in
Nottingham during 1945?

380
00:21:56,275 --> 00:22:00,859
Late 1944, first
quarter of 1945,

381
00:22:00,859 --> 00:22:04,859
you were on location
primarily in London.

382
00:22:04,859 --> 00:22:09,026
But, you spent
time in Nottingham, correct?

383
00:22:17,192 --> 00:22:22,233
Then, perhaps you remember
meeting their daughter.

384
00:22:23,192 --> 00:22:26,359
I, I, I don't recall.

385
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,026
What was her name?

386
00:22:28,026 --> 00:22:30,359
Let me see here.

387
00:22:31,859 --> 00:22:33,192
Wanda Barlow.

388
00:22:33,192 --> 00:22:33,984
Wendy.

389
00:22:33,984 --> 00:22:38,817
Wendy.
Huh, how silly of me.

390
00:22:42,942 --> 00:22:45,109
She, umm...

391
00:22:46,692 --> 00:22:49,275
Is Wendy the one
who's looking for me?

392
00:22:49,275 --> 00:22:58,026
I'm sorry to say, she passed
away several months ago.

393
00:22:58,984 --> 00:23:06,150
Mr Devereux, it was Wendy's
son who wanted me to find you.

394
00:23:06,150 --> 00:23:08,026
Oh, okay.

395
00:23:08,026 --> 00:23:10,442
Why would he want to do that?

396
00:23:10,442 --> 00:23:15,192
Mr Devereux, he claims
that you're his father.

397
00:23:15,776 --> 00:23:16,650
No.

398
00:23:16,650 --> 00:23:17,650
I assure you.

399
00:23:17,650 --> 00:23:18,400
No, it's impossible.

400
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,567
He's got information
that identifies you.

401
00:23:20,567 --> 00:23:23,068
No. He's a con artist or a liar.

402
00:23:23,068 --> 00:23:23,942
He's not my son.

403
00:23:23,942 --> 00:23:26,442
And Mr Devereux,
he only wants to meet you

404
00:23:26,442 --> 00:23:27,776
while there's still time.

405
00:23:27,776 --> 00:23:29,275
I don't want to meet him.

406
00:23:29,275 --> 00:23:30,068
You understand?

407
00:23:30,068 --> 00:23:30,776
I don't want to see him.

408
00:23:30,776 --> 00:23:33,026
I don't want to
hear from him, ever.

409
00:23:33,026 --> 00:23:34,275
-Mr Devereux--
-Good day.

410
00:23:34,275 --> 00:23:37,692
Mr Devereux.
Mr... Please.

411
00:23:56,942 --> 00:23:58,942
The blue jays are back.

412
00:23:58,942 --> 00:24:03,609
No blue jays for six years,
then suddenly blue jays.

413
00:24:03,609 --> 00:24:05,692
Who was that at the door?

414
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,567
Nobody.

415
00:24:27,275 --> 00:24:30,942
Does he have another family?

416
00:24:30,942 --> 00:24:33,817
I cannot say more than I have.

417
00:24:33,817 --> 00:24:34,317
I'm sorry.

418
00:24:34,317 --> 00:24:42,275
Did you get the sense that he
might possibly change his mind?

419
00:24:42,275 --> 00:24:43,817
I did not.

420
00:24:43,817 --> 00:24:46,567
I'm truly sorry.

421
00:24:47,692 --> 00:24:51,609
Well then, that's that.

422
00:24:51,609 --> 00:24:54,692
I appreciate your visit.

423
00:24:54,692 --> 00:24:55,275
You're not alone.

424
00:24:55,275 --> 00:24:57,275
-You know, many other people-
-I understand.

425
00:24:57,275 --> 00:24:59,692
Thank you.

426
00:24:59,692 --> 00:25:02,026
Let me show you out.

427
00:25:15,192 --> 00:25:17,942
Are you disappointed?

428
00:25:17,942 --> 00:25:21,525
I mainly just feel tired.

429
00:25:26,609 --> 00:25:30,859
Does Gordy know about the search
for his great-grandfather?

430
00:25:30,859 --> 00:25:31,901
No.

431
00:25:31,901 --> 00:25:34,109
I think I've made our
family confusing enough

432
00:25:34,109 --> 00:25:36,859
for him at the moment.

433
00:25:38,650 --> 00:25:41,026
Can I show you something?

434
00:25:43,192 --> 00:25:48,442
But you'll probably want to ask
mum to make you a drink first.

435
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,026
You know that I've been
hired as a staff member

436
00:25:53,026 --> 00:25:54,650
at Source Magazine?

437
00:25:54,650 --> 00:25:55,150
Mm-hmm.

438
00:25:55,150 --> 00:26:01,400
Well, in about six months time
we're going to start publishing

439
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,150
a series called,
"Where Are They Now"

440
00:26:04,150 --> 00:26:05,068
about people who made the

441
00:26:05,068 --> 00:26:08,150
news once and then faded
into the background,

442
00:26:08,150 --> 00:26:09,942
the first heart
transplant patient,

443
00:26:09,942 --> 00:26:12,317
triplets who were famous when
they were five years old.

444
00:26:12,317 --> 00:26:17,109
My editor has been looking for
proposals on more meaty topics

445
00:26:17,109 --> 00:26:20,650
and I think I've
got a great one.

446
00:26:20,650 --> 00:26:22,026
You're not suggesting-

447
00:26:22,026 --> 00:26:24,817
No, not Nan's story, exactly.

448
00:26:24,817 --> 00:26:26,650
Let me start at the beginning.

449
00:26:26,650 --> 00:26:30,068
So in 1944, as the Allies
advanced into Europe,

450
00:26:30,068 --> 00:26:33,068
there was a fear that they
may execute some high level

451
00:26:33,068 --> 00:26:35,275
prisoners being
held in the castle.

452
00:26:35,275 --> 00:26:37,776
Well, a prison
really, near Bruge.

453
00:26:37,776 --> 00:26:40,442
The Allies set up a special
two level task force.

454
00:26:40,442 --> 00:26:43,609
The air force would come in
and breach a hole in the castle

455
00:26:43,609 --> 00:26:47,359
walls and disable the guards
by bombing their quarters.

456
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,359
And a commando unit would
be parachuted in nearby

457
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,525
to get the prisoners out.

458
00:26:52,525 --> 00:26:55,817
So, you're going to be
interviewing the prisoners.

459
00:26:55,817 --> 00:26:59,192
I want to interview the pilots.

460
00:27:00,109 --> 00:27:05,068
It's recently come to my
attention that many of them are

461
00:27:05,068 --> 00:27:06,859
still alive.

462
00:27:06,859 --> 00:27:11,192
No, Claire,
it's out of the question.

463
00:27:11,192 --> 00:27:13,984
Gordon Devereux was
the flight leader.

464
00:27:13,984 --> 00:27:15,150
He was first on the target.

465
00:27:15,150 --> 00:27:16,650
He led the other planes in.

466
00:27:16,650 --> 00:27:18,109
It's a great story.

467
00:27:18,109 --> 00:27:21,776
Hoogstra will never
give you his address.

468
00:27:21,776 --> 00:27:23,359
He doesn't have to.

469
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,359
The public records office
has everything I need.

470
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,525
That man has nothing
to do with our family.

471
00:27:29,525 --> 00:27:31,317
I won't be there
for our family.

472
00:27:31,317 --> 00:27:33,275
I'll be there for the story.

473
00:27:33,275 --> 00:27:34,109
That's all?

474
00:27:34,109 --> 00:27:40,400
That's all. And maybe I'm
a little curious, fine,

475
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,026
but it's a great story.

476
00:27:42,026 --> 00:27:46,109
And don't you want to know if
your father was a war hero?

477
00:27:46,109 --> 00:27:50,109
You're not going to get
my blessing on this.

478
00:27:50,109 --> 00:27:52,734
I'm not going to ask for it.

479
00:27:52,734 --> 00:27:53,567
Daphne: Claire.

480
00:27:53,567 --> 00:27:57,359
Dad, he's not going
to know who I am.

481
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,359
I'm still using my
married name for now,

482
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:04,484
so he won't even
make the connection.

483
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:06,400
What came first?

484
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,317
Hoogstra or the story.

485
00:28:09,317 --> 00:28:11,026
Hoogstra.

486
00:28:11,026 --> 00:28:12,484
But it's a great story.

487
00:28:12,484 --> 00:28:16,442
I just want to go in and
get his version of events.

488
00:28:16,442 --> 00:28:17,734
My editor's excited.

489
00:28:17,734 --> 00:28:19,567
It's a spy story,
and a war story,

490
00:28:19,567 --> 00:28:22,400
and a, Where Are They Now,
story all rolled into one.

491
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,026
It could be huge.

492
00:28:24,026 --> 00:28:27,275
And if the opportunity
arose, you'd say to him,

493
00:28:27,275 --> 00:28:30,984
"Oh, did you know that I'm
your granddaughter?"

494
00:28:30,984 --> 00:28:32,901
Claire:
Yes, because I'm an idiot.

495
00:28:32,901 --> 00:28:33,567
Claire.

496
00:28:33,567 --> 00:28:34,567
Claire: No, of course not.

497
00:28:34,567 --> 00:28:37,609
I wouldn't ruin the biggest
opportunity of my career just

498
00:28:37,609 --> 00:28:40,442
because I'm related to
one of the subjects.

499
00:28:40,442 --> 00:28:45,233
The atmosphere would have to be
extraordinarily conducive for me

500
00:28:45,233 --> 00:28:47,442
to even make a hint.

501
00:28:47,442 --> 00:28:49,942
Which you won't.

502
00:28:49,942 --> 00:28:52,359
Which I won't.

503
00:28:54,068 --> 00:28:55,609
When do you plan to start?

504
00:28:55,609 --> 00:28:58,275
As soon as Gordy's out
of school for the summer.

505
00:28:58,275 --> 00:28:59,275
What?

506
00:28:59,275 --> 00:29:00,525
You're taking Gordy with you?

507
00:29:00,525 --> 00:29:04,776
We need to get away for a bit,
especially while the house is

508
00:29:04,776 --> 00:29:06,233
being sold.

509
00:29:06,233 --> 00:29:08,692
Are you going to tell him?

510
00:29:08,692 --> 00:29:10,442
No, no.

511
00:29:10,442 --> 00:29:14,109
As far as he's concerned, it
will be just another interview.

512
00:29:14,109 --> 00:29:17,817
You really think a war veteran
is going to open up to you?

513
00:29:17,817 --> 00:29:20,650
I don't like it, Claire.

514
00:29:20,650 --> 00:29:22,442
Not at all.

515
00:29:22,442 --> 00:29:28,776
Well, the only thing we
have to fear is fear itself.

516
00:29:28,776 --> 00:29:30,442
Daphne: And bears.

517
00:29:30,442 --> 00:29:33,192
They have bears in Canada.

518
00:29:33,192 --> 00:29:36,109
No. umm, mm.

519
00:30:40,359 --> 00:30:42,359
Librarian: Here are the books.

520
00:30:42,359 --> 00:30:43,692
Do you need anything else?

521
00:30:43,692 --> 00:30:44,984
No, that should be perfect.

522
00:30:44,984 --> 00:30:47,484
Thank you so much.

523
00:30:57,609 --> 00:30:59,776
Oh, Bunny, you can't bring
that shirt with you.

524
00:30:59,776 --> 00:31:02,068
We need to make a good
impression in Canada.

525
00:31:02,068 --> 00:31:03,567
But it's my favorite shirt.

526
00:31:03,567 --> 00:31:05,567
And don't call me Bunny anymore.

527
00:31:05,567 --> 00:31:07,484
But you are my bunny.

528
00:31:07,484 --> 00:31:10,109
You're my little Snuggle Bunny.

529
00:31:10,109 --> 00:31:13,817
You're my little Snuggle
Bunny, aren't you?

530
00:31:13,817 --> 00:31:17,609
You're my little Snuggle Bunny.

531
00:31:21,525 --> 00:31:23,525
Airport announcement: This is
to announce the arrival of

532
00:31:23,525 --> 00:31:29,150
flight.... Airlines Flight
700 from New York.

533
00:31:50,609 --> 00:31:53,109
Well, you never know when
you were coming back, right?

534
00:31:53,109 --> 00:31:55,233
Each one was the last one.

535
00:32:06,901 --> 00:32:07,609
Thank you very much.

536
00:32:07,609 --> 00:32:09,817
Shopkeeper:
Well, thank you. Enjoy your day.

537
00:32:10,275 --> 00:32:15,109
Claire: This is maple syrup,
this is a Canadian delicacy.

538
00:32:17,650 --> 00:32:20,650
[not audible]

539
00:32:31,609 --> 00:32:34,192
Gordy. Get out of that pond,
right this second.

540
00:32:34,192 --> 00:32:36,776
No, Mum, we never
do anything fun. I'm hot.

541
00:32:36,776 --> 00:32:38,359
Get out of the water.

542
00:32:38,359 --> 00:32:38,901
No.

543
00:32:38,901 --> 00:32:40,817
If you don't get out
right this second,

544
00:32:40,817 --> 00:32:42,068
I'm getting in the
car and leaving

545
00:32:42,068 --> 00:32:45,275
and you can grow up
in Moose Jaw.

546
00:32:46,609 --> 00:32:48,525
Mum?

547
00:32:48,525 --> 00:32:49,817
Mummy?

548
00:32:49,817 --> 00:32:51,484
Mummy!

549
00:33:01,984 --> 00:33:04,275
Claire: I think this is it.

550
00:33:06,484 --> 00:33:07,734
Pete Fournier:
Of course, Shea Stadium

551
00:33:07,734 --> 00:33:09,650
didn't open till 1964.

552
00:33:09,650 --> 00:33:11,901
It was a bad year
for it, anyway,

553
00:33:11,901 --> 00:33:16,109
because Casey Stengel...
now he was a bum as a player,

554
00:33:16,109 --> 00:33:18,901
a real clown,
but a good manager, you know.

555
00:33:18,901 --> 00:33:23,567
A good manager at heart, or he
was when he managed the Yankees.

556
00:33:23,567 --> 00:33:26,650
When the Mets hired him,
disaster.

557
00:33:26,650 --> 00:33:29,650
They didn't have
a good year in 64, oh no.

558
00:33:29,650 --> 00:33:32,525
That's very interesting,
Mr Fournier.

559
00:33:32,525 --> 00:33:34,484
Pete, please.

560
00:33:34,484 --> 00:33:35,692
Pete.

561
00:33:35,692 --> 00:33:39,442
But what I'm really here
to talk about is the raid.

562
00:33:39,442 --> 00:33:41,275
The raid?

563
00:33:41,275 --> 00:33:44,984
In Bruge, Mr Fournier, 1945?

564
00:33:44,984 --> 00:33:46,609
Yeah.

565
00:33:46,609 --> 00:33:49,400
Yes. Terrible time.

566
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,400
We lost one, you know?

567
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,109
So I've come to understand.

568
00:33:53,109 --> 00:33:54,233
I'm very sorry.

569
00:33:54,233 --> 00:33:56,817
Oh, don't be sorry.

570
00:33:56,817 --> 00:33:57,901
I got over it.

571
00:33:57,901 --> 00:34:00,484
It took me a lot of drinks,
a little baseball,

572
00:34:00,484 --> 00:34:03,901
but I got over it.

573
00:34:03,901 --> 00:34:06,026
Not everybody does.

574
00:34:06,026 --> 00:34:10,567
I understand,
it must have been horrible.

575
00:34:10,567 --> 00:34:13,400
You understand?

576
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:14,233
What is this?

577
00:34:14,233 --> 00:34:15,901
Some kind of damned therapy?

578
00:34:15,901 --> 00:34:18,068
I assure you I'm
only a journalist.

579
00:34:18,068 --> 00:34:19,400
I just know that post traumatic-

580
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,692
You know what they used to call
therapy in my day?

581
00:34:22,692 --> 00:34:24,567
Jack Daniels. [laughs]

582
00:34:24,567 --> 00:34:28,233
I'm just trying to
corroborate some details.

583
00:34:28,233 --> 00:34:30,359
You don't know.

584
00:34:30,359 --> 00:34:33,609
None of you knows.

585
00:34:34,859 --> 00:34:39,233
All these anniversaries
come up, Deippe, Normandy,

586
00:34:39,233 --> 00:34:41,484
people like you come
in here and say

587
00:34:41,484 --> 00:34:42,400
you want to know
what it was like.

588
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,026
You don't want to
know what it was like.

589
00:34:45,026 --> 00:34:48,026
Not really.

590
00:34:48,817 --> 00:34:52,984
Saw a friend in a
field hospital once,

591
00:34:52,984 --> 00:34:56,484
Jim Guido, 19 years old,

592
00:34:56,484 --> 00:35:00,068
already a hockey
legend back home.

593
00:35:00,068 --> 00:35:06,109
He lost his leg somewhere
in France, got infected,

594
00:35:06,109 --> 00:35:09,359
filled him full of morphine.

595
00:35:09,359 --> 00:35:13,109
Used to use that
stuff back then.

596
00:35:13,109 --> 00:35:13,817
It gives you nightmares.

597
00:35:13,817 --> 00:35:19,525
It gives you nightmares
like you wouldn't believe.

598
00:35:19,817 --> 00:35:24,692
I looked down at Jim
lying there, 19 years old,

599
00:35:24,692 --> 00:35:27,275
never going to
play hockey again,

600
00:35:27,275 --> 00:35:33,275
so full of morphine that he
just moaning in his sleep.

601
00:35:33,275 --> 00:35:40,484
Just moaning, crying,
and shaking like a baby.

602
00:35:40,484 --> 00:35:51,233
19 years old, his leg blown
clean off, crying for his mommy.

603
00:35:53,192 --> 00:35:56,442
And I wanted to pick
up a bed pan

604
00:35:56,442 --> 00:35:58,692
and smash his face to pieces.

605
00:35:58,692 --> 00:36:01,776
I wanted to pick up something
heavy and smash his face,

606
00:36:01,776 --> 00:36:06,776
and smash, and smash, so he
wouldn't make any more noise,

607
00:36:06,776 --> 00:36:09,192
because I couldn't listen to it.

608
00:36:09,192 --> 00:36:12,984
I couldn't listen
to anymore crying.

609
00:36:12,984 --> 00:36:14,734
We all felt it.

610
00:36:14,734 --> 00:36:21,026
We all had nightmares, but he
had no right to cry like that.

611
00:36:21,026 --> 00:36:24,692
You keep that inside you.

612
00:36:24,692 --> 00:36:28,984
He had no right.
He had no right.

613
00:36:28,984 --> 00:36:31,817
I think perhaps I should
come back another time.

614
00:36:31,817 --> 00:36:38,734
There were things we did
to people, young men,

615
00:36:38,734 --> 00:36:41,650
younger than us.

616
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:47,734
Of course, when Casey Stengel
was managing the Yankees

617
00:36:47,734 --> 00:36:54,068
back in the fifties,
that was a good time.

618
00:36:54,068 --> 00:36:57,525
10 pennants in 12 seasons.

619
00:36:57,525 --> 00:36:58,734
That was the good times.

620
00:36:58,734 --> 00:37:02,026
Wish I could go back there now.
That was the good times.

621
00:37:02,026 --> 00:37:05,817
I wish I could go back to then.

622
00:37:05,817 --> 00:37:08,984
Good times.

623
00:37:24,068 --> 00:37:27,317
I'm really sorry
to hear all that, Bunny.

624
00:37:28,275 --> 00:37:32,109
Maybe it wasn't a good idea
for me to bring you along.

625
00:37:32,109 --> 00:37:35,275
I just mean that I wanted to
take you on an adventure and now

626
00:37:35,275 --> 00:37:38,109
you've gotten to see all the
boring parts of mum's job.

627
00:37:38,109 --> 00:37:43,734
Lots of travel, and waiting,
and getting yelled at.

628
00:37:48,109 --> 00:37:51,942
This is the Boeing
B-29 Superfortress.

629
00:37:52,233 --> 00:37:54,442
Have you ever heard of
Enola Gay?

630
00:37:54,442 --> 00:37:56,442
Yeah. I have.

631
00:37:56,442 --> 00:37:58,650
Pretty sad stuff.

632
00:37:58,650 --> 00:38:02,650
You know, you're really
grown up in a lot of ways.

633
00:38:02,650 --> 00:38:03,776
One more interview to go.

634
00:38:03,776 --> 00:38:06,609
We just have to head West one
more time and then we'll go see

635
00:38:06,609 --> 00:38:08,859
some mountains. Okay?

636
00:38:47,109 --> 00:38:48,901
Co-pilot: We're taking
flight, Captain.

637
00:38:48,901 --> 00:38:51,525
[explosion]

638
00:38:52,109 --> 00:38:54,609
We have to get out
of here, Captain.

639
00:38:56,442 --> 00:38:58,859
-Captain?
-Standby.

640
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,817
Mr Devereux?

641
00:39:28,817 --> 00:39:29,567
Yes.

642
00:39:29,567 --> 00:39:31,400
Claire Summers, how do you do?

643
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:32,942
Not interested.

644
00:39:32,942 --> 00:39:34,901
In what?

645
00:39:34,901 --> 00:39:37,400
In whatever it is
you're selling.

646
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,109
Did you not get my letter?

647
00:39:40,109 --> 00:39:45,275
Mrs Summers, come in, come in.

648
00:39:45,275 --> 00:39:49,942
Gordon, this is Mrs Summers,
the reporter I told you about.

649
00:39:49,942 --> 00:39:52,317
You didn't tell me
about any reporter.

650
00:39:52,317 --> 00:39:54,776
Oh, I'm sure I did.

651
00:39:54,776 --> 00:39:55,692
I must have.

652
00:39:55,692 --> 00:39:57,901
Come in, come in.

653
00:39:57,901 --> 00:39:59,026
Your English.

654
00:39:59,026 --> 00:40:00,442
What gave me away?

655
00:40:00,442 --> 00:40:02,609
Would you like a coffee or tea?

656
00:40:02,609 --> 00:40:06,109
That's what you
people like, isn't it?

657
00:40:19,692 --> 00:40:22,109
Helen: I'll just make some tea.

658
00:40:26,817 --> 00:40:28,109
Gordon: Why are you here?

659
00:40:28,109 --> 00:40:31,359
Gordon, she's doing
a newspaper project.

660
00:40:31,359 --> 00:40:34,734
She wrote to us all about it.

661
00:40:38,817 --> 00:40:43,109
Claire Summers, staff writer,
Callishawe Press,

662
00:40:43,109 --> 00:40:44,817
sluff berks.

663
00:40:44,817 --> 00:40:46,650
Slough Berks.

664
00:40:46,650 --> 00:40:51,317
Gordon, I didn't know you
knew so much about England.

665
00:40:51,317 --> 00:40:53,984
I was about to
make some ice tea.

666
00:40:53,984 --> 00:40:55,068
What do you think?

667
00:40:55,068 --> 00:40:56,109
Oh, that would lovely.

668
00:40:56,109 --> 00:40:57,109
Thank you.

669
00:40:57,109 --> 00:40:57,984
Gordon?

670
00:40:57,984 --> 00:41:00,400
Thank you, Helen.

671
00:41:02,567 --> 00:41:05,150
So a project.

672
00:41:05,150 --> 00:41:07,567
I'm sorry that you
weren't expecting me.

673
00:41:07,567 --> 00:41:11,109
I didn't mean to
spring myself upon you.

674
00:41:13,525 --> 00:41:15,942
I'm a staff writer
for Source Magazine.

675
00:41:15,942 --> 00:41:20,984
It's a middle road publication
rather like your Maclean's,

676
00:41:20,984 --> 00:41:21,901
I think.

677
00:41:21,901 --> 00:41:26,484
We report on historical
events, semi recent histories.

678
00:41:26,484 --> 00:41:29,525
Right now, I'm working on a
series about people who were

679
00:41:29,525 --> 00:41:33,901
involved in a major historical
event that has since faded

680
00:41:33,901 --> 00:41:34,859
from public memory.

681
00:41:34,859 --> 00:41:37,233
So you really are a reporter,
huh?

682
00:41:37,233 --> 00:41:38,233
What else would I be?

683
00:41:38,233 --> 00:41:40,442
And you just
happened to pick me?

684
00:41:40,442 --> 00:41:41,484
Claire: Not at all.

685
00:41:41,484 --> 00:41:45,317
I found a record of the RAF's
raid on a Nazi prison in a

686
00:41:45,317 --> 00:41:48,859
castle near Bruge,
November, 1944.

687
00:41:48,859 --> 00:41:49,692
I see.

688
00:41:49,692 --> 00:41:55,525
Sorry to disappoint you, but I
don't give interviews about what

689
00:41:55,525 --> 00:41:58,109
I did during the war years.

690
00:41:58,109 --> 00:41:59,275
Matter of principle.

691
00:41:59,275 --> 00:42:02,150
I haven't revisited the war
years since I was decommissioned

692
00:42:02,150 --> 00:42:07,192
in 1945, not even with
my wife or our daughter.

693
00:42:07,192 --> 00:42:07,817
You've a daughter?

694
00:42:07,817 --> 00:42:12,776
No, when I took off my uniform
for the last time I shut the

695
00:42:12,776 --> 00:42:16,068
door on all that, on all of it.

696
00:42:16,068 --> 00:42:18,859
Claire:
Did you keep your uniform?

697
00:42:18,859 --> 00:42:23,275
Young lady, that is a
very personal question.

698
00:42:23,275 --> 00:42:27,692
I've already told you
I do not do interviews.

699
00:42:27,692 --> 00:42:28,400
Sorry.

700
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:29,692
I didn't mean to offend.

701
00:42:29,692 --> 00:42:32,901
It's just that
Patrice LaPage kept his,

702
00:42:32,901 --> 00:42:34,150
so I was curious.

703
00:42:34,150 --> 00:42:35,859
You spoke to Patrice?

704
00:42:35,859 --> 00:42:38,817
Flight Lieutenant Patrice
LaPage, I should have said.

705
00:42:38,817 --> 00:42:42,901
And yes I did,
and Ancienne Lorette in Quebec.

706
00:42:42,901 --> 00:42:44,901
My navigator trained there.

707
00:42:44,901 --> 00:42:46,068
Claire: John Webster.

708
00:42:46,068 --> 00:42:47,859
I met with him as well.

709
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:50,901
I really am a journalist.

710
00:42:50,901 --> 00:42:51,233
Hmmm.

711
00:42:51,233 --> 00:42:55,275
I haven't just snuck in to steal
your valuables and I think that

712
00:42:55,275 --> 00:42:57,609
this story deserves to be told.

713
00:42:57,609 --> 00:43:01,275
You don't need me for that.

714
00:43:01,275 --> 00:43:03,817
You was a pilot in charge.

715
00:43:03,817 --> 00:43:04,901
You led the raid.

716
00:43:04,901 --> 00:43:05,942
You were the first to fly-

717
00:43:05,942 --> 00:43:08,942
How on earth do you know this?

718
00:43:08,942 --> 00:43:11,776
Flight Lieutenant Wagner.

719
00:43:11,776 --> 00:43:14,317
Charlie?

720
00:43:14,317 --> 00:43:16,275
Charlie Wagner.

721
00:43:16,275 --> 00:43:17,317
Claire: He's a doctor now.

722
00:43:17,317 --> 00:43:21,068
Oh, Slap Dash
Charlie, a doctor.

723
00:43:21,068 --> 00:43:23,192
Well, semi retired.

724
00:43:23,192 --> 00:43:24,942
He lives in Devon.

725
00:43:24,942 --> 00:43:26,609
I spoke with him
before I left England,

726
00:43:26,609 --> 00:43:28,984
and I can give you his
address if you'd like.

727
00:43:28,984 --> 00:43:29,734
No.

728
00:43:29,734 --> 00:43:31,650
No, I don't want anything.

729
00:43:31,650 --> 00:43:33,109
That part of my life is closed,

730
00:43:33,109 --> 00:43:36,359
besides he wouldn't
want to meet me.

731
00:43:36,942 --> 00:43:42,026
No, put all of that behind me.

732
00:43:42,567 --> 00:43:47,650
It was difficult,
but I had help, my wife, Helen

733
00:43:47,650 --> 00:43:49,275
and our daughter.

734
00:43:49,275 --> 00:43:52,109
That's behind me, now.

735
00:43:52,109 --> 00:43:55,776
Mr Devereux, it's not
my intention to delve

736
00:43:55,776 --> 00:43:57,776
into painful memories.

737
00:43:57,776 --> 00:44:00,692
I just wanted to write a story
that shows our readers what

738
00:44:00,692 --> 00:44:03,942
happened next,
that there is life after--

739
00:44:03,942 --> 00:44:06,650
We will be besieged by people

740
00:44:06,650 --> 00:44:09,275
wanting to know more,
banging on our door,

741
00:44:09,275 --> 00:44:10,901
expecting me to tell
them everything,

742
00:44:10,901 --> 00:44:12,317
all the juicy details.

743
00:44:12,317 --> 00:44:14,317
You'll destroy our privacy.

744
00:44:14,317 --> 00:44:18,400
No, we can protect your identity
and conceal your location.

745
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:19,692
That would be
entirely your choice.

746
00:44:19,692 --> 00:44:23,359
And you must remember the
Source is only sold in the UK,

747
00:44:23,359 --> 00:44:25,692
so no one would
even see it here.

748
00:44:25,692 --> 00:44:27,984
Helen: Iced tea.

749
00:44:38,734 --> 00:44:42,275
So... will you be staying
long in Edmonton?

750
00:44:42,275 --> 00:44:43,484
Only about five days.

751
00:44:43,484 --> 00:44:45,984
We want to head to
the mountains after.

752
00:44:45,984 --> 00:44:46,859
We?

753
00:44:46,859 --> 00:44:48,859
Is your husband with you?

754
00:44:48,859 --> 00:44:50,650
My son.

755
00:44:50,650 --> 00:44:51,734
Your son?

756
00:44:51,734 --> 00:44:53,068
How old is he?

757
00:44:53,068 --> 00:44:53,776
Nine.

758
00:44:53,776 --> 00:44:54,359
And where is he now?

759
00:44:54,359 --> 00:44:56,567
Gordon: Helen,
that's none of our business.

760
00:44:56,567 --> 00:44:59,442
He's waiting for me in the car.

761
00:44:59,442 --> 00:45:00,484
In the car?

762
00:45:00,484 --> 00:45:01,400
Claire: Oh, it's all right.

763
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,359
He's got his books
and his Gameboy.

764
00:45:03,359 --> 00:45:04,859
Well, we should bring him in.

765
00:45:04,859 --> 00:45:09,109
Oh, I wasn't sure if that
would be a good idea.

766
00:45:09,109 --> 00:45:14,192
I thought, that is, Mr Devereux
and I have potentially sensitive

767
00:45:14,192 --> 00:45:16,068
subjects to discuss.

768
00:45:16,068 --> 00:45:17,317
Oh, it's quite all right.

769
00:45:17,317 --> 00:45:19,567
We'll go to the other
side of the house

770
00:45:19,567 --> 00:45:20,984
and leave you two in peace,

771
00:45:20,984 --> 00:45:23,233
but he shouldn't be
left in the car.

772
00:45:23,233 --> 00:45:25,233
It's not right.

773
00:45:25,233 --> 00:45:28,400
Well, if your sure it's okay.

774
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,942
Yes, all right,
I'll be right back.

775
00:45:44,650 --> 00:45:47,484
You bored out here, Bunny?

776
00:45:47,484 --> 00:45:50,317
Do you want to come
in for some iced tea?

777
00:45:52,734 --> 00:45:55,400
I wish you wouldn't.

778
00:45:55,901 --> 00:45:58,609
We should make
them feel at home.

779
00:45:59,192 --> 00:46:00,734
Well, I should anyway.

780
00:46:00,734 --> 00:46:04,442
And you should have a
chat with Mrs Summers.

781
00:46:04,442 --> 00:46:08,275
She seems very sympathetic.

782
00:46:11,359 --> 00:46:13,400
Claire: Gordie,
these people are very nice.

783
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,317
And I want you to be careful
to be on your best behavior,

784
00:46:16,317 --> 00:46:18,109
all right?

785
00:46:18,109 --> 00:46:20,192
Don't talk about
our family, okay?

786
00:46:20,192 --> 00:46:24,734
Mommy's a reporter and reporters
don't share personal details.

787
00:46:24,734 --> 00:46:28,233
Understand?

788
00:46:29,109 --> 00:46:32,275
You will mind your
manners, won't you, Gordon?

789
00:46:32,275 --> 00:46:35,275
Hello. Please come in.

790
00:46:35,275 --> 00:46:36,609
What's your name?

791
00:46:36,609 --> 00:46:37,442
Gordie.

792
00:46:37,442 --> 00:46:39,150
Gordie Summers.

793
00:46:39,150 --> 00:46:40,484
Gordie.

794
00:46:40,484 --> 00:46:42,525
We love that name in this house.

795
00:46:42,525 --> 00:46:46,068
Gordie, this is
Mr and Mrs Devereaux.

796
00:46:46,567 --> 00:46:49,692
It's a pleasure to
meet you, Gordie.

797
00:46:54,275 --> 00:46:55,776
Looking for something, Gordie?

798
00:46:55,776 --> 00:46:58,068
You don't have a
picture of a mosquito?

799
00:46:58,068 --> 00:46:58,901
Gordie.

800
00:46:58,901 --> 00:47:00,233
We don't get too
many mosquitoes

801
00:47:00,233 --> 00:47:01,192
at this time of the year.

802
00:47:01,192 --> 00:47:04,942
I think Gordie was referring
to something else, weren't you,

803
00:47:04,942 --> 00:47:05,609
young man?

804
00:47:05,609 --> 00:47:08,525
De Havilland Mosquito
made of plywood.

805
00:47:08,525 --> 00:47:09,109
Mom said that you-

806
00:47:09,109 --> 00:47:10,359
Claire: That's enough, Gordie.

807
00:47:10,359 --> 00:47:11,901
And where'd you
learn about that?

808
00:47:11,901 --> 00:47:12,984
I have a book.

809
00:47:12,984 --> 00:47:14,484
What you been telling him?

810
00:47:14,484 --> 00:47:16,525
He learned that on his own.

811
00:47:16,817 --> 00:47:19,026
Now it seems we all
have cool drinks,

812
00:47:19,026 --> 00:47:20,359
but I haven't offered you one.

813
00:47:20,359 --> 00:47:23,525
Why don't you come with me and
we'll see what we can find?

814
00:47:23,525 --> 00:47:25,442
Would you like a soda?

815
00:47:25,442 --> 00:47:27,984
Go on. It's all right.

816
00:47:38,692 --> 00:47:40,609
Come with me.

817
00:47:53,317 --> 00:47:55,650
Where did he learn all that?

818
00:47:55,650 --> 00:47:56,233
I assure you-

819
00:47:56,233 --> 00:47:58,400
-Did you coach him?
-Why would I-

820
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,026
It's shameless.

821
00:48:00,026 --> 00:48:02,734
I'm not going to spill my guts
out just because you trained

822
00:48:02,734 --> 00:48:03,484
your kid to come in here-

823
00:48:03,484 --> 00:48:07,233
Mr. Devereaux, I would never
train Gordie to do anything.

824
00:48:07,233 --> 00:48:09,734
I know that you don't like to
talk about your flying days and

825
00:48:09,734 --> 00:48:12,068
I'll tell him not to
bring it up again.

826
00:48:12,068 --> 00:48:14,233
Then how does he know so much?

827
00:48:14,233 --> 00:48:17,692
He saw my research on the
story and got interested.

828
00:48:17,692 --> 00:48:21,317
And when Gordie's interested in
a subject, he's like a sponge.

829
00:48:21,317 --> 00:48:24,275
He just hones in and
learns everything he can.

830
00:48:24,275 --> 00:48:25,567
Just like that?

831
00:48:25,567 --> 00:48:26,942
Just like that.

832
00:48:26,942 --> 00:48:32,275
I assure you, I would never use
my son to manipulate anyone.

833
00:48:32,275 --> 00:48:34,484
He does this all the time.

834
00:48:34,484 --> 00:48:37,484
I must say his train
phase was the worst.

835
00:48:37,484 --> 00:48:47,400
Well, my daughter went through
a similar thing with dolphins.

836
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:49,400
Still not going
to be interviewed.

837
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:50,609
-Thank you.
-Don't thank me.

838
00:48:50,609 --> 00:48:52,400
You're not going to
get anything from me.

839
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:56,567
I was just going to say thank
you for having Gordie in.

840
00:48:56,567 --> 00:48:57,984
I'm sure he's much
more comfortable

841
00:48:57,984 --> 00:49:00,609
in the kitchen with Helen.

842
00:49:00,609 --> 00:49:04,609
Well, that's Helen for you.

843
00:49:21,068 --> 00:49:24,275
Whoa, it's huge.

844
00:49:24,275 --> 00:49:26,484
It's four layers.

845
00:49:30,776 --> 00:49:32,692
What's that?

846
00:49:32,692 --> 00:49:35,776
I made it for my grandson.

847
00:49:35,776 --> 00:49:37,817
It's very cool.

848
00:49:37,817 --> 00:49:42,942
Now, tell me everything.

849
00:49:46,692 --> 00:49:52,942
So your son,
he's also named Gordon?

850
00:49:52,942 --> 00:49:54,942
No, he's just Gordie.

851
00:49:54,942 --> 00:49:59,026
Is he named after
anyone in particular?

852
00:49:59,026 --> 00:50:00,525
Yes.

853
00:50:00,525 --> 00:50:01,859
Who?

854
00:50:01,859 --> 00:50:03,442
Gordie Howe.

855
00:50:03,442 --> 00:50:05,609
The Canadian hockey player?

856
00:50:05,609 --> 00:50:06,609
I know.

857
00:50:06,609 --> 00:50:08,859
-But you're-
-I know.

858
00:50:08,859 --> 00:50:10,942
You're so English, I know.

859
00:50:10,942 --> 00:50:11,609
His father insisted.

860
00:50:11,609 --> 00:50:17,734
I couldn't find the strength
to argue because I was so, so-

861
00:50:17,734 --> 00:50:20,275
-So what?
-Pregnant.

862
00:50:20,275 --> 00:50:22,609
I succumbed.

863
00:50:22,609 --> 00:50:25,567
What's his middle name?

864
00:50:25,567 --> 00:50:27,026
Howe.

865
00:50:28,068 --> 00:50:29,901
[laughter]

866
00:50:29,901 --> 00:50:34,650
Claire:
Don't laugh, I was so pregnant.

867
00:50:36,192 --> 00:50:37,359
So how's the cake?

868
00:50:37,359 --> 00:50:39,650
It's very good.

869
00:50:39,650 --> 00:50:41,484
How's school?

870
00:50:41,484 --> 00:50:43,068
It's nice.

871
00:50:43,068 --> 00:50:45,650
[chuckling]

872
00:50:45,650 --> 00:50:46,984
Does your husband
actually play?

873
00:50:46,984 --> 00:50:49,442
Claire: I don't even think
he knows how to skate.

874
00:50:49,442 --> 00:50:50,692
[laughter]

875
00:50:50,692 --> 00:50:52,734
Malcolm's always
going through phases.

876
00:50:52,734 --> 00:50:57,650
First it was hockey,
then it was safari travel,

877
00:50:57,650 --> 00:51:01,817
then me, in the end.

878
00:51:06,233 --> 00:51:10,400
How's young
Gordie Howe taking it?

879
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:11,484
He's fine.

880
00:51:11,484 --> 00:51:16,068
He's... Sorry.

881
00:51:16,068 --> 00:51:18,734
Sorry, this isn't why I'm here.

882
00:51:18,734 --> 00:51:20,984
He'll be all right.

883
00:51:20,984 --> 00:51:21,525
I'm not sure.

884
00:51:21,525 --> 00:51:29,650
I mean, sometimes I think if
a father can't be 100% there,

885
00:51:29,650 --> 00:51:35,776
if he can't be a good...
Maybe it's better for the child.

886
00:51:41,442 --> 00:51:45,901
Anyway...

887
00:51:45,901 --> 00:51:49,442
what did you want to ask me?

888
00:51:51,233 --> 00:51:55,817
What was it like to go
overseas as a young man?

889
00:51:55,817 --> 00:52:02,650
Well, I'd never been east of
Saskatoon, so I was excited.

890
00:52:02,650 --> 00:52:07,359
They told me that the girls
danced naked in France.

891
00:52:07,359 --> 00:52:09,317
I bet your mother loved that.

892
00:52:09,317 --> 00:52:11,650
She sent a Bible with me.

893
00:52:11,650 --> 00:52:13,275
[chuckle]

894
00:52:13,275 --> 00:52:14,109
Go ahead.

895
00:52:14,109 --> 00:52:15,984
They've been in there
for half an hour.

896
00:52:15,984 --> 00:52:18,109
If he was going to
turn into a bear,

897
00:52:18,109 --> 00:52:20,359
he would have done it by now.

898
00:52:21,192 --> 00:52:23,150
His eyes weren't good
enough for flight school.

899
00:52:23,150 --> 00:52:25,109
[knock, knock, knock]

900
00:52:30,275 --> 00:52:32,650
Did my wife send that?

901
00:52:47,192 --> 00:52:49,942
This is the Mark XVI.

902
00:52:49,942 --> 00:52:53,400
Though I flew the
Mark IV before that.

903
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,567
Was there 20
millimeter cannons?

904
00:52:55,567 --> 00:52:59,317
-Yeah, just about knee--
-Knee level.

905
00:53:00,275 --> 00:53:00,859
Sometimes.

906
00:53:00,859 --> 00:53:03,109
It depended on the type of
flying that we were doing.

907
00:53:03,109 --> 00:53:04,567
Gordie, I'm not sure
that Mr Devereaux

908
00:53:04,567 --> 00:53:05,192
wants to talk about--

909
00:53:05,192 --> 00:53:06,068
Gordon: Oh, no, no,
no, it's all right.

910
00:53:06,068 --> 00:53:09,484
Tell you the truth, Gordie, none
of my own kids have any interest

911
00:53:09,484 --> 00:53:10,734
in planes.

912
00:53:10,734 --> 00:53:13,567
It's nice to meet
a fellow aviator.

913
00:53:17,484 --> 00:53:19,275
Do you like horses, Gordie?

914
00:53:19,275 --> 00:53:19,734
Yes.

915
00:53:19,734 --> 00:53:21,692
Gordie, you've never
touched a horse.

916
00:53:21,692 --> 00:53:22,776
Helen: Supper's in the oven.

917
00:53:22,776 --> 00:53:27,192
Claire, Gordie,
you'll stay and eat?

918
00:53:29,734 --> 00:53:36,734
[phone rings]

919
00:53:36,734 --> 00:53:37,942
Daphne: Hello?

920
00:53:37,942 --> 00:53:38,484
Mum.

921
00:53:38,484 --> 00:53:39,859
Daphne: Claire! What's wrong?

922
00:53:39,859 --> 00:53:41,233
Is that Claire?

923
00:53:41,233 --> 00:53:43,567
No, nothing.

924
00:53:43,567 --> 00:53:45,150
I'm so sorry, mum.

925
00:53:45,150 --> 00:53:48,026
Shit. What time is it there?

926
00:53:48,026 --> 00:53:49,317
It's gone 1:00.

927
00:53:49,317 --> 00:53:50,859
What's wrong?

928
00:53:51,859 --> 00:53:52,776
Claire: Nothing. I'm so sorry.

929
00:53:52,776 --> 00:53:55,233
I completely forgot
about the time change.

930
00:53:55,233 --> 00:53:57,942
No, no, we were up anyway.

931
00:53:57,942 --> 00:54:00,400
Claire, is
everything all right?

932
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:01,692
Is Gordie okay?

933
00:54:01,692 --> 00:54:03,233
Gordie's fine.

934
00:54:03,233 --> 00:54:05,400
He's...

935
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,442
He's what?

936
00:54:07,442 --> 00:54:09,275
He's gone horseback riding.

937
00:54:09,275 --> 00:54:12,275
(whispering) Did she say
he's gone horseback riding?

938
00:54:12,275 --> 00:54:15,734
Claire, did you say he's
gone horseback riding?

939
00:54:15,734 --> 00:54:17,026
Yes, just for a few hours.

940
00:54:17,026 --> 00:54:22,442
Claire, you took your son to a
foreign country and now you're

941
00:54:22,442 --> 00:54:24,901
not with him?

942
00:54:24,901 --> 00:54:27,026
He's fine, mum.

943
00:54:27,233 --> 00:54:29,692
Well, this is
actually why I called.

944
00:54:29,692 --> 00:54:33,359
He's, uhmm...

945
00:54:33,359 --> 00:54:37,442
He's with his great grandfather.

946
00:54:38,901 --> 00:54:41,275
Daphne: What? Does he know?

947
00:54:41,275 --> 00:54:42,567
No, not at all.

948
00:54:42,567 --> 00:54:45,233
-How could you possibly-
-Mum, listen.

949
00:54:45,233 --> 00:54:46,776
This is why I called.

950
00:54:46,776 --> 00:54:49,692
I called to say that
everything's fine.

951
00:54:49,692 --> 00:54:51,484
The interview went well.

952
00:54:51,484 --> 00:54:52,817
He let you interview him?

953
00:54:52,817 --> 00:54:57,442
Claire: He and Gordie
have become friends.

954
00:54:57,442 --> 00:54:58,026
Friends?

955
00:54:58,026 --> 00:55:01,817
Claire, I don't mean to
sound like I'm interfering,

956
00:55:01,817 --> 00:55:08,609
but is Gordie safe on
his own with this man?

957
00:55:08,609 --> 00:55:10,442
They're not alone,
they're at a ranch.

958
00:55:10,442 --> 00:55:14,317
Daphne: You let a strange man
take your son to a ranch

959
00:55:14,317 --> 00:55:16,859
and ride a strange animal?

960
00:55:16,859 --> 00:55:18,275
He could break his neck.

961
00:55:18,275 --> 00:55:20,609
They're not doing
show jumping, mum.

962
00:55:20,609 --> 00:55:22,359
Is he at least
wearing a helmet?

963
00:55:22,359 --> 00:55:28,192
Mum, Mr Devereaux, Gordon,
knows what he's doing.

964
00:55:28,192 --> 00:55:30,484
And Gordie was enthused.

965
00:55:30,484 --> 00:55:33,275
When was the last
time you saw that?

966
00:55:33,275 --> 00:55:37,901
And you say,
he's cooperating with you?

967
00:55:37,901 --> 00:55:39,275
Not at first, no.

968
00:55:39,275 --> 00:55:41,359
But because of Gordie.

969
00:55:41,359 --> 00:55:42,484
Gordie?

970
00:55:42,484 --> 00:55:44,609
He was the first talking point.

971
00:55:44,609 --> 00:55:46,942
The two of them just clicked.

972
00:55:46,942 --> 00:55:48,984
Why didn't you go with them?

973
00:55:48,984 --> 00:55:52,026
I don't know, it's just
everything that's been going on

974
00:55:52,026 --> 00:55:55,817
with Malcolm, Gordie's
just so stuck in his shell.

975
00:55:55,817 --> 00:56:00,192
I just don't think he needs
his mum hovering right now.

976
00:56:01,068 --> 00:56:03,068
Anyway, I've got to go.

977
00:56:03,068 --> 00:56:05,400
They're having us
over for supper.

978
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:06,567
Claire?

979
00:56:06,567 --> 00:56:08,525
Claire: Yes?

980
00:56:08,525 --> 00:56:10,359
Be careful.

981
00:56:10,359 --> 00:56:12,984
I will.

982
00:56:12,984 --> 00:56:14,068
I love you.

983
00:56:14,068 --> 00:56:15,901
Love you too, sweetheart.

984
00:56:15,901 --> 00:56:18,692
Love you, sweetie.

985
00:56:21,776 --> 00:56:24,317
I hope she knows
what she's doing.

986
00:56:25,442 --> 00:56:27,567
I do.

987
00:56:27,567 --> 00:56:28,734
I do too.

988
00:56:28,734 --> 00:56:31,442
I hope she knows
what she's doing.

989
00:56:35,942 --> 00:56:37,859
Gordon: Horse.

990
00:56:38,484 --> 00:56:39,901
Want to try riding it?

991
00:56:39,901 --> 00:56:41,150
Gordie: Sure.

992
00:56:41,150 --> 00:56:42,359
Gordon: All right.

993
00:56:42,359 --> 00:56:44,776
Then that is what we will do.

994
00:56:47,942 --> 00:56:49,525
Hello Jordan.

995
00:56:50,484 --> 00:56:52,442
This is my little
friend, Gordie.

996
00:56:52,442 --> 00:56:54,442
Jordan:
Hey, Gordie. Nice to meet you.

997
00:56:54,442 --> 00:56:55,109
Gordie: Hello.

998
00:56:55,109 --> 00:56:56,650
Gordon: Can we rustle
up a horse for him?

999
00:56:56,650 --> 00:56:57,609
Jordan: We sure can.

1000
00:56:57,609 --> 00:56:59,068
Gordon:
Hi boys, how you doing?

1001
00:56:59,068 --> 00:56:59,734
Boys: Good.

1002
00:56:59,734 --> 00:57:01,901
Gordon: Good to see you.

1003
00:57:07,901 --> 00:57:09,109
Gordie: They're big.

1004
00:57:09,109 --> 00:57:12,192
Gordon:
Yeah, they're very big.

1005
00:57:16,901 --> 00:57:19,317
Here we go.

1006
00:57:22,275 --> 00:57:24,400
Do a circle, here.

1007
00:57:25,650 --> 00:57:27,109
Isn't she nice?

1008
00:57:27,109 --> 00:57:27,734
Yeah.

1009
00:57:27,734 --> 00:57:28,817
Come on, babe.

1010
00:57:28,817 --> 00:57:30,068
Just a little bit more.

1011
00:57:30,068 --> 00:57:33,359
That's a good girl.

1012
00:57:33,359 --> 00:57:35,109
Yes, you are.

1013
00:57:40,692 --> 00:57:44,817
I think we may be getting
a bit of clouds coming in.

1014
00:57:50,567 --> 00:57:52,442
That's it.

1015
00:57:52,442 --> 00:57:55,026
Well, Gordie, what do you think?

1016
00:57:55,859 --> 00:57:57,609
Keep going?

1017
00:57:57,609 --> 00:58:00,359
[chuckle]

1018
00:58:42,275 --> 00:58:43,692
Ready for takeoff?

1019
00:58:43,692 --> 00:58:45,359
Yes, sir.

1020
00:58:45,359 --> 00:58:47,192
What are they doing?

1021
00:58:50,901 --> 00:58:52,650
Flying.

1022
00:58:53,650 --> 00:58:57,359
Gordon: Now, when you want
to climb, you pull back

1023
00:58:57,359 --> 00:58:59,484
on the control column.

1024
00:58:59,484 --> 00:59:00,984
Like this?

1025
00:59:00,984 --> 00:59:02,692
Whoa, gently.

1026
00:59:02,692 --> 00:59:04,484
You'll flip us right over.

1027
00:59:04,484 --> 00:59:07,817
When you want to descend,
you push forward.

1028
00:59:09,275 --> 00:59:10,275
When you want to
turn to the right,

1029
00:59:10,275 --> 00:59:16,609
you press down the right pedal
and turn the wheel to the right.

1030
00:59:17,776 --> 00:59:18,567
That's right.

1031
00:59:18,567 --> 00:59:21,150
We've got to do both at the
same time to get a smooth

1032
00:59:21,150 --> 00:59:23,567
angle to bank.

1033
00:59:25,109 --> 00:59:26,901
Good.

1034
00:59:27,692 --> 00:59:29,192
And left pedal for port?

1035
00:59:29,192 --> 00:59:31,068
You got it, skipper.

1036
00:59:31,068 --> 00:59:33,484
Now start the engines.

1037
00:59:35,068 --> 00:59:38,484
Do you see the throttles
down by your left knee?

1038
00:59:39,109 --> 00:59:40,192
Push them forward?

1039
00:59:40,192 --> 00:59:42,317
Yes, but smoothly.

1040
00:59:42,317 --> 00:59:43,484
Okay.

1041
00:59:43,484 --> 00:59:45,817
Now release the brake.

1042
00:59:46,692 --> 00:59:48,817
Look straight ahead.

1043
00:59:49,942 --> 00:59:50,359
All right.

1044
00:59:50,359 --> 00:59:54,275
We've got an air
speed of 190 knots.

1045
00:59:54,275 --> 00:59:57,567
Pull back on the stick.

1046
00:59:58,359 --> 01:00:01,692
And we're airborne.

1047
01:00:03,525 --> 01:00:06,233
Now, turn starboard, skipper.

1048
01:00:08,109 --> 01:00:11,484
[airplane engine]

1049
01:00:11,484 --> 01:00:16,525
Force 177 degrees,
climb to 5000.

1050
01:00:17,109 --> 01:00:17,776
177?

1051
01:00:17,776 --> 01:00:20,525
Ease back on the
throttles and level out.

1052
01:00:22,567 --> 01:00:24,317
Leveling out.

1053
01:00:25,275 --> 01:00:27,359
Good job, captain.

1054
01:00:27,817 --> 01:00:29,901
Aren't you the captain?

1055
01:00:30,109 --> 01:00:32,484
I'm just enjoying the ride.

1056
01:00:33,650 --> 01:00:35,609
[radio chatter]

1057
01:00:35,609 --> 01:00:38,609
Gordie: Any fighters in the sky?

1058
01:00:41,859 --> 01:00:43,776
Taking flight, captain.

1059
01:00:43,776 --> 01:00:46,901
[radio chatter]

1060
01:00:46,901 --> 01:00:48,275
...shot down, captain.

1061
01:00:48,275 --> 01:00:50,984
Gordie: Any fighters in the sky?

1062
01:00:50,984 --> 01:00:53,650
[radio chatter]

1063
01:00:55,734 --> 01:00:59,817
Big Gee,
any fighters in the sky?

1064
01:01:00,817 --> 01:01:04,942
Gordon, any fighters in the sky?

1065
01:01:07,984 --> 01:01:15,400
For today, Little Gee,
why don't we just fly?

1066
01:01:21,609 --> 01:01:23,609
I met Gordon after the war.

1067
01:01:23,609 --> 01:01:26,275
Men were in short
supply around here,

1068
01:01:26,275 --> 01:01:28,442
but that's not
what caught my eye.

1069
01:01:28,442 --> 01:01:30,859
What was it about him?

1070
01:01:30,859 --> 01:01:34,609
He was so quiet.

1071
01:01:34,609 --> 01:01:38,400
Not constantly bragging or
talking about himself the way

1072
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:42,317
the boys I knew growing up.

1073
01:01:43,567 --> 01:01:48,068
Plus, you wouldn't
think it to look at him,

1074
01:01:48,068 --> 01:01:51,734
but he was a stone cold fox.

1075
01:01:51,734 --> 01:01:55,068
[laugh]

1076
01:01:55,525 --> 01:01:57,609
I know he went through
a lot in the war,

1077
01:01:57,609 --> 01:02:00,359
but he never wanted
to talk about it.

1078
01:02:00,359 --> 01:02:02,567
Men never did in those days.

1079
01:02:02,567 --> 01:02:05,567
Sometimes I think it's healthier
now with all the therapies

1080
01:02:05,567 --> 01:02:09,525
and yoga and talking
about your feelings.

1081
01:02:09,525 --> 01:02:12,567
Yoga can't help with PTSD.

1082
01:02:12,567 --> 01:02:14,817
Do you think that's what he had?

1083
01:02:14,817 --> 01:02:16,400
I don't know.

1084
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:20,776
All I know is that as
happy as we've been,

1085
01:02:20,776 --> 01:02:24,275
I've never seen him let
go the way he just did

1086
01:02:24,275 --> 01:02:26,275
with your little boy.

1087
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:29,609
And now he's Big Gee.

1088
01:02:29,609 --> 01:02:34,525
Mr Devereaux was too clumsy,
and Uncle Gordon was too formal.

1089
01:02:34,525 --> 01:02:37,026
Does that make you H for Helen?

1090
01:02:37,026 --> 01:02:38,942
No, I'm Mrs Gee.

1091
01:02:38,942 --> 01:02:43,109
Oh, I hope that
doesn't bother you.

1092
01:02:43,109 --> 01:02:45,609
We don't mean to lay any
sort of claim on Gordie.

1093
01:02:45,609 --> 01:02:48,817
It doesn't bother me at all.

1094
01:02:48,817 --> 01:02:50,567
I'm so glad.

1095
01:02:50,567 --> 01:02:57,817
After all, you can never
have too much family.

1096
01:03:22,233 --> 01:03:42,525
[phone rings]

1097
01:03:42,525 --> 01:03:45,692
Claire, unless this
is an emergency-

1098
01:03:45,692 --> 01:03:47,692
I think dad needs to come here.

1099
01:03:47,692 --> 01:03:48,400
What?

1100
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:50,192
Does he know?

1101
01:03:50,192 --> 01:03:50,859
Claire, did you tell him?

1102
01:03:50,859 --> 01:03:55,692
No, but just now he and Gordie,
they were flying together and-

1103
01:03:55,692 --> 01:03:58,192
They went flying?

1104
01:03:58,192 --> 01:03:59,525
No, not actually.

1105
01:03:59,525 --> 01:04:03,275
It's just that, well,
they've become friends.

1106
01:04:03,275 --> 01:04:05,901
Even Helen,
Mrs Devereaux, says so too.

1107
01:04:05,901 --> 01:04:07,442
I, I don't know, Claire.

1108
01:04:07,442 --> 01:04:10,359
I wouldn't want to
burst their bubble.

1109
01:04:10,359 --> 01:04:11,233
But there's a chance that--

1110
01:04:11,233 --> 01:04:14,859
To protect Gordie,
not Devereaux.

1111
01:04:14,859 --> 01:04:16,317
If Gordie's opened
up to someone,

1112
01:04:16,317 --> 01:04:18,317
I wouldn't want to risk that.

1113
01:04:18,317 --> 01:04:19,776
Gordie will be fine.

1114
01:04:19,776 --> 01:04:23,233
A tiny little window has opened
up here and you won't get

1115
01:04:23,233 --> 01:04:24,192
another chance.

1116
01:04:24,192 --> 01:04:27,567
I'm not sure if the
reward outweighs the risk.

1117
01:04:27,567 --> 01:04:29,233
Stop talking like
a banker, dad.

1118
01:04:29,233 --> 01:04:31,817
I'm not asking you for a loan.

1119
01:04:31,817 --> 01:04:33,609
Claire, dinner's ready.

1120
01:04:33,609 --> 01:04:35,109
We're eating chow mein.

1121
01:04:35,109 --> 01:04:36,068
That's right.

1122
01:04:36,068 --> 01:04:36,650
I helped cook it.

1123
01:04:36,650 --> 01:04:39,776
That's great, love.
I'll be there in a moment.

1124
01:04:39,901 --> 01:04:44,026
Look, in three days, Gordie and
I are saying goodbye and leaving

1125
01:04:44,026 --> 01:04:45,609
this place forever.

1126
01:04:45,609 --> 01:04:47,984
They'll probably
invite us to come back,

1127
01:04:47,984 --> 01:04:49,859
but we probably never will.

1128
01:04:49,859 --> 01:04:52,859
If you want Gordie to keep
having a relationship with his

1129
01:04:52,859 --> 01:04:55,484
family, you need to take a risk.

1130
01:04:55,484 --> 01:04:56,650
I'm not sure.

1131
01:04:56,650 --> 01:04:59,109
Just think about it.

1132
01:04:59,109 --> 01:05:01,692
There's a flight leaving
from Heathrow tomorrow,

1133
01:05:01,692 --> 01:05:03,484
or today your time.

1134
01:05:03,484 --> 01:05:05,859
You'd be here within 24 hours.

1135
01:05:05,859 --> 01:05:06,525
Claire.

1136
01:05:06,525 --> 01:05:09,484
Just think about it.

1137
01:05:09,484 --> 01:05:11,817
I love you.

1138
01:05:21,692 --> 01:05:24,109
Obviously, I can't go.

1139
01:05:24,650 --> 01:05:26,192
What's she thinking of?

1140
01:05:26,192 --> 01:05:28,233
You were right about
this whole thing.

1141
01:05:28,233 --> 01:05:31,776
You said I should stay
away from Devereaux.

1142
01:05:31,776 --> 01:05:32,984
I should've listened to you.

1143
01:05:32,984 --> 01:05:36,692
Now Claire's gotten
all mixed up in it.

1144
01:05:37,359 --> 01:05:39,068
What are you doing?

1145
01:05:39,359 --> 01:05:44,026
I'm booking you a ticket
to Canada, you daft...

1146
01:05:44,026 --> 01:05:46,484
You said it was mad.

1147
01:05:46,484 --> 01:05:49,233
You thought this
whole thing was mad.

1148
01:05:49,442 --> 01:05:53,233
I'm allowed to change my mind.

1149
01:05:57,525 --> 01:05:58,984
Good Lordy.

1150
01:05:58,984 --> 01:06:00,901
It's just full of airports.

1151
01:06:00,901 --> 01:06:04,109
This bloody country
is full of airports.

1152
01:06:04,109 --> 01:06:06,942
Airports and bears.

1153
01:06:06,942 --> 01:06:08,567
Edmonton.

1154
01:06:08,567 --> 01:06:10,817
Look for Edmonton.

1155
01:06:12,484 --> 01:06:16,317
[laughter]

1156
01:06:16,317 --> 01:06:17,692
That's terrible.

1157
01:06:17,692 --> 01:06:18,525
I know, it's a good one.

1158
01:06:18,525 --> 01:06:21,859
Helen: Look what Gordie
helped me make.

1159
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:28,359
[clapping]

1160
01:06:28,359 --> 01:06:31,776
It looks so
delicious, doesn't it?

1161
01:06:31,776 --> 01:06:35,233
Do you want the big pie?

1162
01:06:35,525 --> 01:06:40,275
No, but what we're going to do
is go back and paint.

1163
01:07:19,442 --> 01:07:22,400
Thank you so much for
taking Gordie to the ranch,

1164
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:23,109
Mr Devereaux.

1165
01:07:23,109 --> 01:07:24,068
He was over the moon.

1166
01:07:24,068 --> 01:07:25,734
Please, call me Gordon.

1167
01:07:25,734 --> 01:07:26,734
Gordon.

1168
01:07:26,734 --> 01:07:27,359
It was my pleasure.

1169
01:07:27,359 --> 01:07:29,859
And thank you for a
wonderful dinner, Mrs Gee.

1170
01:07:29,859 --> 01:07:32,484
Would you and Little Gee
be interested in going

1171
01:07:32,484 --> 01:07:34,567
to West Edmonton Mall
with us tomorrow?

1172
01:07:34,567 --> 01:07:39,442
It's terribly touristy, I know,
but you can't come all this way

1173
01:07:39,442 --> 01:07:39,942
and not see it.

1174
01:07:39,942 --> 01:07:41,734
It's one of the
biggest in the world.

1175
01:07:41,734 --> 01:07:44,026
I'm sure Gordie
would love that.

1176
01:07:44,026 --> 01:07:48,984
We also have a family friend
flying in tomorrow afternoon

1177
01:07:48,984 --> 01:07:52,442
and we'd love for
you to meet him.

1178
01:07:52,442 --> 01:07:53,650
Wonderful.

1179
01:07:53,650 --> 01:07:56,650
Well, why don't we take Gordie
to the mall while you go get

1180
01:07:56,650 --> 01:07:59,609
your friend, and then we'll
all have dinner together?

1181
01:07:59,609 --> 01:08:01,734
Are you sure you think
it's a good idea?

1182
01:08:01,734 --> 01:08:02,400
Gordon: It's a great idea.

1183
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:05,275
Any friend of Little Gee's
a friend of ours.

1184
01:08:06,734 --> 01:08:09,442
All right, let's go. Come on.

1185
01:08:21,817 --> 01:08:24,233
How you doing, Bunny?

1186
01:08:32,484 --> 01:08:35,650
Don't eat any of that
Canadian bacon, though.

1187
01:08:35,650 --> 01:08:36,901
Okay?

1188
01:08:36,901 --> 01:08:38,068
Love you, sweetheart.

1189
01:08:38,068 --> 01:08:40,400
Love you too.

1190
01:08:40,942 --> 01:08:42,901
Say hi to Claire and Gordie.

1191
01:08:42,901 --> 01:08:44,942
I will.

1192
01:08:52,734 --> 01:08:54,525
You got everything, dad?

1193
01:08:55,650 --> 01:08:57,150
The mini.

1194
01:08:57,150 --> 01:08:58,609
You had to bring the mini.

1195
01:08:58,609 --> 01:08:59,734
Oh, you don't like the mini?

1196
01:08:59,734 --> 01:09:01,984
Psychological, isn't it?

1197
01:09:06,068 --> 01:09:06,984
Got room for that?

1198
01:09:06,984 --> 01:09:09,650
Oh, you'd be surprised
what I got room for.

1199
01:09:10,525 --> 01:09:13,068
Oh, yeah. That too, yeah?

1200
01:09:20,692 --> 01:09:24,442
Are You ready for this?

1201
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:29,734
Honestly, Kevin, I don't know.

1202
01:09:31,525 --> 01:09:33,484
Could have taken
the Land Rover.

1203
01:09:34,650 --> 01:09:37,484
Could've had you on the
back of a Triumph too.

1204
01:11:39,734 --> 01:11:42,650
I flew with the Canadian
Air Force most of the time,

1205
01:11:42,650 --> 01:11:48,650
but late in 1944,
I was seconded to

1206
01:11:48,650 --> 01:11:50,984
an RAF squadron. Seconded?

1207
01:11:50,984 --> 01:11:54,150
Sent on loan for
about three months.

1208
01:11:54,150 --> 01:11:57,567
That's when you flew
on the Bruges raid?

1209
01:11:57,567 --> 01:12:01,609
Little Gee, do you have
a swimsuit with you?

1210
01:12:01,609 --> 01:12:06,068
How'd you know
about the Bruge raid?

1211
01:12:06,068 --> 01:12:07,692
That's what mom's
writing about.

1212
01:12:07,692 --> 01:12:10,359
Sort of, Bunny, not so
much about the operation,

1213
01:12:10,359 --> 01:12:13,859
but about the pilots and
navigators who flew it and what

1214
01:12:13,859 --> 01:12:15,109
they're up to now.

1215
01:12:15,109 --> 01:12:16,359
Like horseback riding?

1216
01:12:16,359 --> 01:12:18,026
Mm-hmm and
building model planes,

1217
01:12:18,026 --> 01:12:21,150
and giving medals
to young pilots.

1218
01:12:21,150 --> 01:12:22,817
Gordie: What's that for?

1219
01:12:22,817 --> 01:12:30,026
This is the Distinguished
Flying Cross for bravery.

1220
01:12:30,026 --> 01:12:31,942
It's from when I
was a pathfinder.

1221
01:12:31,942 --> 01:12:34,068
What's a pathfinder?

1222
01:12:36,984 --> 01:12:42,942
A pathfinder flies over the
target, ahead of the bombers.

1223
01:12:42,942 --> 01:12:48,901
I dropped flares over the
target, very bright lights,

1224
01:12:48,901 --> 01:12:52,567
so the bombers
could aim at them.

1225
01:12:52,567 --> 01:12:55,567
Were you scared?

1226
01:12:55,567 --> 01:12:57,233
Yes.

1227
01:12:57,233 --> 01:12:57,984
Often.

1228
01:12:57,984 --> 01:13:02,233
Gordie: Were you sad that you
had to help drop bombs?

1229
01:13:03,233 --> 01:13:06,692
Gordon: I think this look
is about complete.

1230
01:13:06,692 --> 01:13:09,275
Would you like to have a look
at yourself, Little Gee?

1231
01:13:09,275 --> 01:13:10,901
Yeah, Big Gee.

1232
01:13:21,192 --> 01:13:23,525
Gordon: Well, what do you think?

1233
01:13:23,525 --> 01:13:26,817
I wish Grandpa Barlow
could see me like this.

1234
01:13:26,817 --> 01:13:27,817
Who?

1235
01:13:27,817 --> 01:13:28,525
Granddad Barlow.

1236
01:13:28,525 --> 01:13:29,776
Can we take a picture for him?

1237
01:13:29,776 --> 01:13:32,609
Is Granddad Barlow
your mom's dad?

1238
01:13:32,609 --> 01:13:33,109
Yeah.

1239
01:13:33,109 --> 01:13:35,942
You wouldn't happen to know
his first name, would you?

1240
01:13:35,942 --> 01:13:37,484
I don't know.

1241
01:13:37,484 --> 01:13:37,859
I see.

1242
01:13:37,859 --> 01:13:40,442
This Grandpa Barlow, did
you ever meet his mother?

1243
01:13:40,442 --> 01:13:42,109
It'd be your great-grandmother.

1244
01:13:42,109 --> 01:13:43,233
Yeah, but she died.

1245
01:13:43,233 --> 01:13:45,109
Gordon: Oh, I'm
sorry to hear that.

1246
01:13:45,109 --> 01:13:47,192
What was her name?

1247
01:13:47,192 --> 01:13:49,359
I don't know.
I called her Nan.

1248
01:13:49,359 --> 01:13:51,442
She lived in Nottingham.

1249
01:13:55,984 --> 01:13:58,776
Oh no, Mom said
not to tell you.

1250
01:13:58,776 --> 01:14:02,734
She said it's not
good journalism.

1251
01:14:06,317 --> 01:14:07,901
Everybody ready to go?

1252
01:14:07,901 --> 01:14:10,984
Little Gee, Why don't you
get out of that uniform

1253
01:14:10,984 --> 01:14:13,317
and go put your your shoes on?

1254
01:14:13,317 --> 01:14:15,359
Gordon: Go on.

1255
01:14:16,525 --> 01:14:18,359
Helen: What's wrong?

1256
01:14:18,359 --> 01:14:20,233
What happened?

1257
01:14:20,233 --> 01:14:21,650
Gordon?

1258
01:14:25,567 --> 01:14:26,317
Ready to go?

1259
01:14:26,317 --> 01:14:28,817
I'm almost finished
with your logbook.

1260
01:14:28,817 --> 01:14:30,484
What's wrong?

1261
01:14:32,776 --> 01:14:35,692
You take Gordie to the mall.

1262
01:14:35,692 --> 01:14:39,026
I need to talk some
more with Mrs Summers.

1263
01:14:39,026 --> 01:14:40,317
Gordon, what's-

1264
01:14:40,317 --> 01:14:44,150
Or should I say Ms. Barlow?

1265
01:14:44,150 --> 01:14:47,068
Gordie, Why don't you to
the mall just with Mrs Gee?

1266
01:14:47,068 --> 01:14:50,359
I need to talk a little bit
more with Mr Devereaux.

1267
01:14:50,359 --> 01:14:51,734
That's right, Gordie.

1268
01:14:51,734 --> 01:14:54,525
Go grab your jacket. Okay?

1269
01:14:56,525 --> 01:14:58,359
Are you sure it's
okay to leave?

1270
01:14:58,359 --> 01:15:00,776
Of course. Have fun.

1271
01:15:03,525 --> 01:15:05,525
I didn't mean for you--

1272
01:15:05,525 --> 01:15:07,984
Sit down.

1273
01:15:10,859 --> 01:15:14,109
You're his daughter.

1274
01:15:14,109 --> 01:15:16,817
Donald Barlow.

1275
01:15:17,026 --> 01:15:19,400
A man who claimed,
he claimed that-

1276
01:15:19,400 --> 01:15:20,525
I never intended-

1277
01:15:20,525 --> 01:15:22,026
What?

1278
01:15:22,026 --> 01:15:24,442
To humiliate me?

1279
01:15:24,442 --> 01:15:25,400
To spy on me?

1280
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:28,776
No, I just intended to conduct
the interview and leave.

1281
01:15:28,776 --> 01:15:32,567
Oh, you don't expect
me to believe that.

1282
01:15:32,567 --> 01:15:35,525
You set this whole thing up.

1283
01:15:35,525 --> 01:15:36,442
The project.

1284
01:15:36,442 --> 01:15:37,859
The research.

1285
01:15:37,859 --> 01:15:39,609
What for?

1286
01:15:39,609 --> 01:15:42,734
Money?

1287
01:15:43,859 --> 01:15:45,567
You wanted an inheritance?

1288
01:15:45,567 --> 01:15:46,442
Is that it?

1289
01:15:46,442 --> 01:15:47,567
The project is real.

1290
01:15:47,567 --> 01:15:49,400
The magazine I
showed you is real.

1291
01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:50,400
I'm researching--

1292
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:51,068
Stop!

1293
01:15:51,068 --> 01:15:56,859
Stop. You even dragged the boy
in here to soften me up,

1294
01:15:56,859 --> 01:15:57,442
to worm your way--

1295
01:15:57,442 --> 01:16:00,484
I told you I would never
use Gordie to get a story.

1296
01:16:00,484 --> 01:16:02,567
You primed your son to trap me!

1297
01:16:02,567 --> 01:16:06,609
I promise you, Gordie is
innocent in all of this.

1298
01:16:06,609 --> 01:16:08,901
Oh, Gordie.

1299
01:16:08,901 --> 01:16:10,776
Gordon!

1300
01:16:10,776 --> 01:16:14,109
You must think I'm an idiot.

1301
01:16:14,109 --> 01:16:16,442
You named the kid after me.

1302
01:16:16,442 --> 01:16:19,525
All along, you planned this.

1303
01:16:19,525 --> 01:16:21,192
That's not true.

1304
01:16:21,192 --> 01:16:23,567
I told you my husband
named him Gordie.

1305
01:16:23,567 --> 01:16:25,776
He's named after Gordie Howe.

1306
01:16:25,776 --> 01:16:29,109
You don't expect me
to believe that story?

1307
01:16:29,109 --> 01:16:33,650
Not after all the
lying that you've done?

1308
01:16:39,817 --> 01:16:42,068
Gordie Howe Summers.

1309
01:16:42,068 --> 01:16:44,400
If I was going to
make something up,

1310
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:47,400
I would've made it less stupid.

1311
01:16:55,734 --> 01:17:00,650
I have never lied to
you, Mr Devereaux.

1312
01:17:00,650 --> 01:17:04,692
I only concealed my relation to
you because I know that you want

1313
01:17:04,692 --> 01:17:06,650
nothing to do with my family.

1314
01:17:06,650 --> 01:17:10,984
But everything else that's
happened over the past few days

1315
01:17:10,984 --> 01:17:15,400
has been an honest result of
seeing my son happy and wanting

1316
01:17:15,400 --> 01:17:18,984
to keep him that way.

1317
01:17:18,984 --> 01:17:21,525
You are my granddaughter?

1318
01:17:21,525 --> 01:17:23,567
Claire: I am.

1319
01:17:23,567 --> 01:17:33,692
But that means that this boy,
Gordie, he is my...

1320
01:17:33,692 --> 01:17:37,650
He's your great-grandson.

1321
01:17:38,692 --> 01:17:43,068
And you'll exclude him
from any recriminations?

1322
01:17:43,068 --> 01:17:45,192
Of course.

1323
01:17:45,192 --> 01:17:46,650
Then I'll say goodbye.

1324
01:17:46,650 --> 01:17:49,275
Thank you for everything
you've done for Gordie,

1325
01:17:49,275 --> 01:17:52,484
but this has been a mistake.

1326
01:17:55,776 --> 01:17:58,068
I'll be back in a few
hours to pick up Gordie.

1327
01:17:58,068 --> 01:18:01,567
I don't want to ruin his time
here, so when I come back,

1328
01:18:01,567 --> 01:18:03,109
we'll be civil.

1329
01:18:03,109 --> 01:18:06,068
Agreed?

1330
01:18:17,692 --> 01:18:23,567
Thank you for everything
you've done for my son,

1331
01:18:23,567 --> 01:18:28,525
and I'm sorry to
have caused you pain.

1332
01:18:33,817 --> 01:18:35,901
Claire,

1333
01:18:35,901 --> 01:18:41,442
a family friend that
you're going to pick up

1334
01:18:41,442 --> 01:18:43,400
from the airport?

1335
01:18:44,192 --> 01:18:46,400
My father.

1336
01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:48,692
Your son.

1337
01:18:48,692 --> 01:18:51,192
But I won't bring him here,

1338
01:18:51,192 --> 01:18:54,650
not unless you tell me
that's what you want.

1339
01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:57,817
You have my phone number.

1340
01:19:00,942 --> 01:19:04,026
Gordie: The rollercoaster
goes zooming, goes so high...

1341
01:19:04,026 --> 01:19:06,109
And then it falls down.

1342
01:19:06,109 --> 01:19:08,984
It was so, so...

1343
01:19:24,650 --> 01:19:27,609
Big Gee, we went to the slides
and the amusement park and there

1344
01:19:27,609 --> 01:19:29,692
was a skating rink and
Mrs Gee bought me a hat!

1345
01:19:29,692 --> 01:19:33,400
Why don't you take
everything inside, Gordie?

1346
01:19:35,942 --> 01:19:37,776
Has she gone?

1347
01:19:37,776 --> 01:19:38,109
Yes.

1348
01:19:38,109 --> 01:19:40,359
She'll come get
Gordie when we call?

1349
01:19:40,359 --> 01:19:41,109
Yes.

1350
01:19:41,109 --> 01:19:43,984
You know that she's
your granddaughter?

1351
01:19:43,984 --> 01:19:45,650
You knew?

1352
01:19:45,650 --> 01:19:47,525
Of course I knew.

1353
01:19:47,525 --> 01:19:49,609
How?

1354
01:19:52,068 --> 01:19:55,817
I looked this place up,
Connection Closure.

1355
01:19:55,817 --> 01:19:58,484
They only do one thing.

1356
01:19:58,484 --> 01:20:02,026
Plus I bribed Gordie.

1357
01:20:02,026 --> 01:20:03,026
With what?

1358
01:20:03,026 --> 01:20:03,817
Cake.

1359
01:20:03,817 --> 01:20:07,525
Like great-grandfather,
like great-grandson.

1360
01:20:07,525 --> 01:20:10,192
Stop.

1361
01:20:10,192 --> 01:20:12,484
This is private.

1362
01:20:12,484 --> 01:20:14,317
From your wife?

1363
01:20:14,317 --> 01:20:17,525
Oh, it was before your time.

1364
01:20:18,692 --> 01:20:20,442
You can tell me.

1365
01:20:20,442 --> 01:20:23,068
I don't want to talk about it.

1366
01:20:25,609 --> 01:20:31,942
I didn't know about a child.

1367
01:20:33,317 --> 01:20:36,026
And I didn't want
to tell you that I

1368
01:20:36,026 --> 01:20:40,150
had been with
someone before you.

1369
01:20:40,442 --> 01:20:44,692
Oh, Gordon, this isn't 1945.

1370
01:20:46,233 --> 01:20:48,400
Did you love her?

1371
01:20:59,692 --> 01:21:05,901
You have to talk to
somebody sometime, Gordon.

1372
01:21:12,609 --> 01:21:19,192
I was so terrified.

1373
01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:22,567
Night after night.

1374
01:21:22,984 --> 01:21:24,942
Searchlights probing.

1375
01:21:25,734 --> 01:21:28,650
Flack sliding towards us.

1376
01:21:28,650 --> 01:21:30,275
Guns on the ground.

1377
01:21:30,275 --> 01:21:34,233
Never knowing if
you would be...

1378
01:21:35,776 --> 01:21:38,233
When the weather clear,
there'd be a stand down

1379
01:21:38,233 --> 01:21:42,400
and everyone I knew
would go to London.

1380
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:47,609
But there were so
many bombed-out homes.

1381
01:21:47,609 --> 01:21:50,400
One morning...

1382
01:22:44,859 --> 01:22:48,192
She was still holding a doll.

1383
01:22:48,192 --> 01:22:55,109
Then I'd get in the plane and
I'd go help do that same thing

1384
01:22:55,109 --> 01:22:57,150
to little girls in Germany.

1385
01:22:57,150 --> 01:22:59,567
Co-Pilot: Got to make way for
the bombers, Captain.

1386
01:22:59,567 --> 01:23:01,650
Roger that.

1387
01:23:05,484 --> 01:23:06,817
Prep munitions.

1388
01:23:06,817 --> 01:23:09,109
Roger, Captain.

1389
01:23:09,817 --> 01:23:11,525
The next stand down,
I got on a bus.

1390
01:23:11,525 --> 01:23:16,525
I'd get out of the city
and run up to Nottingham,

1391
01:23:16,525 --> 01:23:19,400
that's where I met Wendy.

1392
01:23:19,400 --> 01:23:24,275
And Wendy didn't ask questions.

1393
01:23:24,275 --> 01:23:28,692
There were no bombs falling.

1394
01:23:28,692 --> 01:23:32,192
I could just forget.

1395
01:23:52,192 --> 01:23:54,734
I didn't mean to abandon her.

1396
01:23:54,734 --> 01:23:57,317
I don't think of it like that.

1397
01:23:57,317 --> 01:24:05,192
And I swear, I didn't
know about the child.

1398
01:24:10,275 --> 01:24:14,192
When the war ended, I promised
myself I'd just start over.

1399
01:24:14,192 --> 01:24:18,734
I'd just erase the nightmare,
pretend it never happened.

1400
01:24:18,734 --> 01:24:26,525
I didn't realize I'd be
erasing other things too.

1401
01:24:34,484 --> 01:24:37,233
Oh, Gordon...

1402
01:24:42,942 --> 01:24:45,317
have you told Claire
any of this?

1403
01:24:45,317 --> 01:24:47,692
No one. Ever.

1404
01:24:47,692 --> 01:24:49,192
I think you should.

1405
01:24:49,192 --> 01:24:52,109
I think she'd
understand you better.

1406
01:24:52,109 --> 01:24:54,442
Might be too late.

1407
01:24:58,442 --> 01:24:59,609
Where are you going?

1408
01:24:59,609 --> 01:25:01,400
Helen: I'll be right back.

1409
01:26:03,525 --> 01:26:06,233
Claire: It's a mess.

1410
01:26:06,233 --> 01:26:09,109
I've made a horrible mess.

1411
01:26:10,692 --> 01:26:13,317
He found me out.

1412
01:26:14,567 --> 01:26:15,901
Oh, Claire.

1413
01:26:15,901 --> 01:26:18,233
I'm so sorry.

1414
01:26:25,359 --> 01:26:26,692
It's all right.

1415
01:26:26,692 --> 01:26:27,650
It's not.

1416
01:26:27,650 --> 01:26:29,942
You came all this way.

1417
01:26:29,942 --> 01:26:32,525
I took a risk.

1418
01:26:32,525 --> 01:26:34,901
It's all right.

1419
01:26:34,901 --> 01:26:37,776
And now I'm in Canada.

1420
01:26:37,776 --> 01:26:41,233
Should we do some sightseeing
before we head home?

1421
01:26:41,233 --> 01:26:43,525
Yes, absolutely.

1422
01:26:43,525 --> 01:26:47,068
We just need to pick up
Gordie on the way home.

1423
01:26:47,692 --> 01:26:50,068
Are you sure you should
have left him there?

1424
01:26:50,068 --> 01:26:50,525
I know.

1425
01:26:50,525 --> 01:26:53,817
I know, but none of us
wanted to ruin his day.

1426
01:26:54,233 --> 01:26:57,317
You can stay in the car
so you and Mr Devereaux

1427
01:26:57,317 --> 01:26:59,359
don't have to meet.

1428
01:27:01,567 --> 01:27:06,734
So close and yet so far.

1429
01:27:07,817 --> 01:27:11,026
I'm so sorry, Dad.

1430
01:27:16,026 --> 01:27:17,817
Don't be sorry.

1431
01:27:17,817 --> 01:27:19,817
It was my decision.

1432
01:27:19,817 --> 01:27:25,484
And now, I get to
see my daughter.

1433
01:27:39,068 --> 01:27:44,109
It's not that I dislike the
idea of having a great-grandson,

1434
01:27:44,109 --> 01:27:48,275
though that does make
me sound a little...

1435
01:27:48,275 --> 01:27:49,026
Distinguished?

1436
01:27:49,026 --> 01:27:50,442
Old, I was going to say.

1437
01:27:50,442 --> 01:27:55,567
But I suppose if one could
choose a great-grandson...

1438
01:27:55,567 --> 01:27:57,359
Of course, there's a corollary.

1439
01:27:57,359 --> 01:28:02,859
You can't have a great-grandson
without having a son first.

1440
01:28:04,984 --> 01:28:07,400
What you going for?

1441
01:28:08,109 --> 01:28:21,233
This is your Distinguished
Flying Cross for bravery.

1442
01:28:34,109 --> 01:28:36,192
Canada.

1443
01:28:37,359 --> 01:28:39,609
Bloody hell.

1444
01:28:39,609 --> 01:28:42,692
[phone buzzing]

1445
01:28:42,692 --> 01:28:43,859
Dad.

1446
01:28:43,859 --> 01:28:50,317
[phone buzzing]

1447
01:28:50,317 --> 01:28:52,400
Hello?

1448
01:29:40,692 --> 01:29:41,817
Granddad.

1449
01:29:41,817 --> 01:29:43,233
Hi, Granddad.

1450
01:29:43,233 --> 01:29:46,109
Hello again. [laugh]

1451
01:29:46,734 --> 01:29:49,109
Gordie, how many
sweets did you eat?

1452
01:29:49,109 --> 01:29:50,068
All of them?

1453
01:29:50,068 --> 01:29:52,484
Well, why don't you do your
granddad a favor and go help

1454
01:29:52,484 --> 01:29:54,233
Mrs Devereaux make some tea?

1455
01:29:54,233 --> 01:29:55,776
I'm sure he'd love some.

1456
01:29:55,776 --> 01:29:57,650
All right.

1457
01:30:28,609 --> 01:30:30,400
Hello.

1458
01:30:33,317 --> 01:30:35,317
Would you like to come in?

1459
01:31:03,317 --> 01:31:05,150
Please.
