00:36:37,500 --> 00:36:39,166 She telephoned, asked me to come. 554 00:36:39,250 --> 00:36:41,625 -Said you needed an extra pair of hands.
-All right. 555 00:36:41,708 --> 00:36:45,583 I pointed out my general lack of skill,
but she was undeterred. 556 00:36:46,708 --> 00:36:47,583 Right. Well… 557 00:36:47,666 --> 00:36:51,666 no doubt you'll hear
that my name is Brown. Basil Brown. 558 00:36:51,750 --> 00:36:52,750 [Rory] Good to meet you. 559 00:36:52,833 --> 00:36:55,041 [Brown] Now,
it's gonna be raining for a while, 560 00:36:55,125 --> 00:36:57,375 so go on and take a seat. [sniffles] 561 00:36:57,458 --> 00:37:00,666 I expect you'd, uh, be wet,
coming from Ipswich on a motorbike. 562 00:37:00,750 --> 00:37:02,416 -[Rory] I was, rather.
-[Brown] Yeah. 563 00:37:02,500 --> 00:37:04,708 -[Rory] Just caught me at the end.
-[Brown] Right. 564 00:37:04,791 --> 00:37:07,625 Well, I'll light the stove.
Would you like some tea? 565 00:37:07,708 --> 00:37:09,083 [Rory chuckles] Yes, please. 566 00:37:09,166 --> 00:37:12,875 [Brown] I think we may have found, um,
an old, uh, Anglo-Saxon ship. 567 00:37:13,625 --> 00:37:16,666 When this rain clears tomorrow,
maybe you can see what we're doing. 568 00:37:17,500 --> 00:37:19,833 -Yeah?
-How very exciting. 569 00:37:20,333 --> 00:37:21,750 Yeah, it's all right. 570 00:37:23,041 --> 00:37:26,291 [thunder rumbles] 571 00:37:28,958 --> 00:37:31,208 -[Jacobs] Not gonna cover it.
-[Brown] Get the second tarp. 572 00:37:31,291 --> 00:37:33,000 -Pass me the hammer, please.
-[Jacobs] Right. 573 00:37:33,583 --> 00:37:34,625 [Spooner] All right, then. 574 00:37:35,833 --> 00:37:36,708 [Brown] Lift up. 575 00:37:36,791 --> 00:37:38,958 -[panting]
-[Brown] That's right. 576 00:37:39,041 --> 00:37:41,916 [indistinct chatter] 577 00:37:45,208 --> 00:37:46,125 Rory! 578 00:37:47,041 --> 00:37:48,208 Hello, Spud. 579 00:37:49,166 --> 00:37:51,333 [grunts] Arrived in the night.
Didn't want to wake you. 580 00:37:51,416 --> 00:37:52,333 Where's your mother? 581 00:37:52,416 --> 00:37:55,541 -[steam engine approaching]
-[Robert] Oh, she's gone to London. 582 00:37:55,625 --> 00:37:57,041 [train whistle blows] 583 00:37:57,125 --> 00:38:00,333 [passengers clamoring] 584 00:38:04,458 --> 00:38:06,666 [somber piano music playing] 585 00:38:13,791 --> 00:38:16,166 [man] Who knows
if we'll still be alive in a year? 586 00:38:19,708 --> 00:38:23,250 [announcer on loudspeaker]
The yellow and green balls denote gas. 587 00:38:23,333 --> 00:38:26,125 -Red denotes high explosives.
-[children laughing] 588 00:38:26,208 --> 00:38:29,166 [announcer]
Red stripes are incendiary bombs. 589 00:38:29,250 --> 00:38:32,708 If you are caught on the streets
during an air raid, 590 00:38:32,791 --> 00:38:37,333 you must know the appropriate response
to each form of attack. 591 00:38:38,083 --> 00:38:39,708 No, don't throw them about! 592 00:39:01,958 --> 00:39:03,958 [Pretty] I was rushing
to get here on time. 593 00:39:05,666 --> 00:39:07,416 Might that have affected the results? 594 00:39:08,541 --> 00:39:12,333 [doctor] Possibly, but the,
uh, underlying condition is there. 595 00:39:12,416 --> 00:39:15,750 The pneumatic fever
you had as a child, it, uh, 596 00:39:15,833 --> 00:39:17,833 damaged the valves of your heart. 597 00:39:18,500 --> 00:39:19,875 Irreparably, I'm afraid. 598 00:39:20,583 --> 00:39:23,958 Another attack
is likely to be much… more serious. 599 00:39:25,375 --> 00:39:26,666 Possibly even fatal. 600 00:39:27,833 --> 00:39:30,791 -Is there nothing else that can be done?
-[doctor] I'm sorry. I… I… 601 00:39:30,875 --> 00:39:32,375 I wish I had better news. 602 00:39:34,208 --> 00:39:35,958 [continues speaking indistinctly] 603 00:39:51,708 --> 00:39:52,916 [Pretty sighs deeply] 604 00:40:00,083 --> 00:40:02,541 [somber piano music swells] 605 00:40:02,625 --> 00:40:05,708 [bells tolling] 606 00:40:28,666 --> 00:40:31,250 [indistinct chatter] 607 00:40:59,833 --> 00:41:00,791 [parking brake clicks] 608 00:41:01,375 --> 00:41:03,958 [Grateley] Mr. Reid Moir is here, ma'am,
with some other gentlemen. 609 00:41:04,041 --> 00:41:05,791 They wouldn't stop to give me their names. 610 00:41:05,875 --> 00:41:07,625 Then they're trespassing. Where are they? 611 00:41:07,708 --> 00:41:09,708 -On their way to the mounds.
-Fetch them, quickly. 612 00:41:09,791 --> 00:41:12,166 -Right.
-[Pretty] Lyons? 613 00:41:16,083 --> 00:41:17,125 [sighs] 614 00:41:18,750 --> 00:41:21,500 [Brown] Now, I've been reading up
about the Oseberg Ship. 615 00:41:21,583 --> 00:41:24,375 That's a Viking ship they found in Norway. 616 00:41:24,875 --> 00:41:28,583 There was a burial chamber
in the center, roofed. 617 00:41:28,666 --> 00:41:31,250 It's a bit like we imagine Noah's Ark. 618 00:41:32,166 --> 00:41:34,833 Course, any roof here
would have caved in long ago. 619 00:41:35,833 --> 00:41:37,750 See, this line here. 620 00:41:37,833 --> 00:41:41,416 The ground is higher,
