Well, your sisters all stopped.

I am happy to do whatever makes Vivien most happy.

Your mother will sit shiva for me all over again.

(all laughing) NANCY: Yeah.

(on radio): ♪ Sweet dreams ♪ Oh, I'm glad you came in in the end.

The girls were talking, worried you was up the duff.

No.

Listen, there's a doctor on the top of Wardour Street.

He'll put you on the pill.

You have heard of the pill, right?

Yeah, I've read about it, but I've never... Avroid's the one you want.

It's three bob a week, not bad.

You don't even need a wedding ring or nothing.

I'll write it down for you.

(whispering): So... You take it and there's no risk?

Oh, no, no, no risk of a sprog, just a risk of a blooming good time.

(both laugh) Oh.

I think I like the sound of that.

Thank you.

(radio continues) (paper bag crinkling) Vivien?

Mm-hmm?

Mum was furious.

She was.

None of her girls come in late, let alone hours late.

Couldn't believe your luck starting here, that's what you told me.

I know.

So what are you taking the piss for?

(sighing): I'm not.

I'm sorry.

Well, what have you been doing?

Nothing.

Look, I promise I won't be late again.

I've got to rush off.

Sorry.

VIVIEN: Mrs. Jones?

BURNS: Thank you very much for joining us.

Today, my wife went to our local corner shop, like her mother before her and her mother before her.

She bought a pound of mince... A couple of spuds... A pint of milk... And a candle.

The food was for our tea.

The candle was for our loss, because that's the last time she'll go to that shop.

You see, after nearly 100 years of trading, it's being forced to close down.

Last year, one of the biggest shops in Europe opened a few streets from our home, shutting down shops, markets, destroying lives.

The owner's name?

Jack Cohen.

(whispering) This shop is Tesco.

He's one of the four Jewish families in charge of the world.

They run the banks, the newspapers, the television, and soon, the supermarkets that will change our High Street and ruin our communities.

We've been in the dark for too long, but if we stand together, we can finally take our country back.

(applauding) ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ (door closes) I just spoke to her.

Oh, David.

Really?

Yeah.

She's absolutely fine.

(sighs) Where is she?

She's in London.

London?

Oh, no!

With, uh, a friend.

Which friend?

This better not have anything to do with my brother.

Of course it doesn't.

She's fine, that's all that matters.

Don't get yourself worked up about it.

(breathes deeply) She'll be home soon.

SOLY: They own the whole building, which means serious funding.

They're gaining power up and down the country.

(brake engages, engine stops) Here we are.

It's that one there.

Now, you keep to the script, just as we practiced.

You go in there, you ask where Peter is, and then you leave.

And any doubts, you get out.

I'll be here.

That's it.

20 minutes max, all right?

(breathes deeply) (speaking Hebrew) Do what?

"Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil."

Go on.

(quietly): All right.

(door opens) (door closes) (doorbell rings) (door unlocking) Hello.

My name's Jane Carpenter.

I've come to see Mr. Jordan.

I'm Peter Fox's friend.
