I am the same as any other woman here.
Ladies, is that right? Do you find Ms Witham here to be one of you?
Is this your security aprove? Kate, you need this to work.
Het is not real. Kate Andrews doesn't exsist.
It's no joke what happened to her.
but maybe now she'll get of her high horse and let me take her out.
Fuck you!
We built a bad bomb, girls.
Hee, your face... It's not so bad.
I mean, it looks like she made out with a cheesegrater.
Men like Marco Moretti should not be working in the factory.
It's a disaster waiting to happen.
Well then, Lorna, you'll get him out.
I will, just got to figure out how.
It says right here, Germans are slipping a noose around Leningrad.
Can you imagine? They're facing a long, tough winter.
Russians are resilient.Have you watched the movie the Scarlet Empress?
I'll bet they'll be planning victory gardens out front the winterpalace.
Yeah, 'cause the rich just love to share. In times of trouble, we're all the same.
Last pass. Four minutes to shift.
I'd give the people of Leningrad more credit.
You all live with six people in a small house through winter.
Trust me, comes spring, Ruskies have been throttling each other.
No metal, make sure that goes into your locker.
What do you think, Mr Moretti?
About what?
The Russian, under siege. Can they keep the line, altogether?
No point speculating, people always surprise you..
I don't see why we should feel sorry for Russia. -Of course, you wouldn't.
They were Hitlers allies only a few months ago.
But then, changing sides is something your people know all about.
My people?
That Italian newspaper you got.
You know, I take it back, Lorna
You're one person who never surprises.
They're bringing in who?
Good God!
Management is arriving for a spot and special. They've brought the colonel.
The department of defense knows all about our little hick-up with the 25 pounders.
Which means the owners got us on the firing lane to prove were up to snuff.
What's going on? Inspection.
Every line gets them. You just never know when.
No errors today! Make sure of it, Mrs Corbett.
Yes, sir!
We know how to tow the line, don't we girls?
Do they check our identity papers?
Not if you don't give them a reason.
Military being here doesn't make it any different.
Don't forget, these inspectors they're on our side.
Will they check our lockers?
Don't worry, Kate. It's the same drill Lorna gives us.
Checking for stray metal, maybe a tack.
Easy fellow. I already got a date for saturday.
How You Trust S01E03 Subtitles: NL-Subs Darkone.
Sorry to have kept you waiting, come right in.
I trust you check the mens lockers as well?
Careless, Miss Andrews.
Nothing here. This one's clean.
Marion?!
Morning! How is the patient?
She'd crack you a big old smile, except her face might split down the middle.
I really could use a bandage.
It needs the open air to heal.
And I'd kill for a decent nights sleep.
Don't you get a pil at night?
Doesn't do the trick.
I'll mention it to the doctor. Would you?
That be grand.
The girls from Victory Munition have sent over another package.
Any cigarettes? I don't think so.
Get me a pack, next time you're out?
Balloons need air, Vera...
so do patients.
Can't hide in here for ever.
So, we're all clear here?
You boys find anything?
We're just inspectors, mam. Wanna dig? Then talk to the mayor.
Miss Corbett?
You wanted to see me?
I've found this locket on the clean site. Not where it should have been
I'm sorry.
It says...
Marion.
I found it on the street. I thought it was pretty.
Miss Corbett?
I hate to make trouble,
but I believe one of the inspectors stole something from my locker.
It's my perfume, Fleurs de rocaille. My fiancee gave it to me.
I'm sure you know what is costs these days to get a luxury like that from Paris.
Where is the sense in bringing it here?
The sense of smell, I suppose.
How else does a girl cope with the cordite?
Perhaps you should look in Mrs Andrews locker.
I didn't...
I didn't take it.
You say you've found this locket, but whose to say you didn't lift it from...
one of the Marions that work here, and now with an expensive perfume missing.
I'm sure it was one of the inspectors who took it. Likely for his girl, or...
I was there. With the inspectors.
Miss Corbett?
It's not a stolen locket.
Then you have nothing to worry about.
Do you?
We're under a microscope here, girls
I told you, it wasn't Kate.
Since Miss Witham was a victim of theft...
my only choice is to dock the cost of that perfume from your pay check.
What?! That's not fair. Like I'd steal her stupid toilet water!
A bottle like that is about $40. More actually.
We'd have to give up halfs a day pay!
Please, it doesn't matter. It certainly does.
You might have been stupid to have brought it here, but that doesn't mean it's alright to take it.
I'm putting you in the storeroom to verify shipping lots.
By myself?
It's a change to ask yourself some questions, Miss Andrews.
Look, these are wedding announcements,
recepies,
football scores.
Don't spar with my intelligence, Mr Moretti, I'm not a fool.
If this were a fascist communique we've found in your locker,
it would be in code.
I've lived in Canada since I was two.
I have the right to work here. The factory vetted me.
Mr Akins, you've hired an Italian to work in a munitions factory.
With all the men oversea, the pool is limited.
His family ran a fireworks factory before the war.
Before the war was another world.
Mr Moretti, you need to change clothes and come with us.
You're arresting me?
Harold, do something! Tell him.
My hands are tied.
If you had done your job in the first place we wouldn't be dancing this Tarantella.
And now lets go!
Steel yourself.
Don't tell me. Your mother is out for blood.
Don't, I smell of cordite.
Someone stole my Fleurs de rocaille.
That stinks.
I'm not surprised. I'm sure the girls were sick with envy.
Don't worry, I'll buy you another bottle.
Except now my matron is docking their pay. They can't afford it.
If it's any consolation, I dont mind the smell of cordite one bit.
You're a peach.
What's got mother on the warpath?
What do you think?
Ugh, don't tell me, our wedding?
Best spray yourself with something, one sniff of that explosive and she'll burst into flames.
Wedding invitations went in the post this morning.
And this afternoon at the club, Mary Kimbarr comes in to tell me about Dick Spencer.
Who is Dick Spencer?
James hasn't told you?
My cousin Richard walked out on his wife.
He bolted like a feral pig, with his children's nanny.
Honestly, mother, there is a war going on. Men are dying, children are fatherless.
The whole of Leningrad is under a Nazi chokehold.
We are under a chokehold too.
All eyes will be on this wedding waiting for any whiff of scandal and when you...
shake the hand of a men who sneared at marriage by running off with the staff...
you make a mockery of your own union.
Mother, who cares what people think.
Do you remember what happend at the Robinsons when they invited that pro-Hitler Brownchurch...
to their silver anniversary?
Social exile.
I'll speak with Richard, we'll work out a solution.
Splendid.
When you occupy the top shelf, darling, people are only too eager to drag you down.
Queer way of serving your country, planting a newspaper in a men's locker.
He reads that rag every day. Time the authorities knew about it.
So you're watching him?
Who knows what's in that newspaper.
Gets worked up about what he reads. Decides to help the Nazi cause.
That's a man with a lot of explosives on his hands.
If he has done nothing wrong...
then he has nothing to worry about.
You know I fought alongside some Italians in my war?
You fight with Marco Moretti. That's true.
But from what you tell me, he was...
just a kid at the time and already living in Canada, so.
Since early September, German forces have surrounded the city, cutting off
This is what the doctor ordered.
Leningrad from outline regions
Your second sleeping pil.
This means the world.
Don't let the bedbugs bite.
Impossible. I can't believe it.
Buster knew all about it. Said they took him last night.
Took who?
Where?
Marco...
He's been taking to the internment camp in Petawawa.
Seemed like such a nice man.
Works just as hard as us, fighting jerries.
Well, we don't turn folks for no reason. And if he's a risk, then good riddance.
You honestly think Marco is an enemy fascist?
Don't forget your turban.
No need.
I'm down in the storeroom again today.
I wouldn't care for that. It's the kind of place murders look.
Isn't that a lovely thought?
Something wrong?
My scarf, it was right here.
Again?!
Somebody has got it in for me.
Did you tell Miss Corbett?
What are you doing?
Have you seenThe Thin Man movies?
Nick and Nora Charles?
Lets just say I've learned a thing or two about how to catch a thief.
I got to admit...
Since Marco started here, she never liked him.
It's hard to fight them overseas, if we're busy sharing biscuits here.
That's what I'll be living of, thanks to Gladys getting our pay docked.
I'm so sorry. I'll pay each and every one of you back.
Think you can buy us off?
What else am I supposed to do?
Start by not ratting in the first place.
Well, if something's missing, could be us next, lets not forget that.
I can't stop thinking about those internment camps.
They say it's worse then being a prisoner of war.
Sure seems different here without him.
Hello?!
If you're going to smoke that, do it away from the oxygen tanks.
Hee, Vera.
Hee, come on. I won't bite!
I'm dying for a cigarette.
It's nice to see a friendly face.
At least, half of one.
Hee... Vera...
If you can't laugh about it, I aint running after you, I promise you.
Hee, look...
Vera...
Lets come for a fire?
Don't the Vic-Mu girls bring you cigs?
Uh...
I can't stand hearing them go on about how sorry they are for me.
I know what that's like.
I'm sitting here in pieces and you haven't even cracked a joke yet.
At least you can find the bright side.
Which in your case, seems to be the left side.
I ought to clock you.
Go ahead.
Pu...pu...put me out of my misery.
Hee...
You got to laugh about it...
or you're gonna cry.
Yeah, except I only got one eye that works.
That's the spirit.
Say, you fellows work the storerooms?
We work wherever you want, sweetheart.
I was doing inventory and I heard the singing.
That be me.
Howdy, I'm Donald.
Kate, nice to meet you.
Wherever did you learn to sing like that?
It comes natural. Way all good things do.
Well, I just wanted to say it was very nice.
Hope we can make music again sometime.
You, Hazel?
You're the thief?!
You're nutty as a fruitcake.
Gladys, you've gotta be kidding. Her hands are purple.
I set a trap.
I poured silver-nitrate from the first-aid kit into my purse.
And look, our thief's hands are a telltale purple.
I've cut myself on a casing this morning. Is that a crime, disinfecting it?
Where's the bandage? Quit wrecking stuff.
Maybe you did cut yourself, but you can't deny that smell is Fleurs de rocaille.
Fleur the what?
Hazel is no thief.
Colognes are all the same, roses and lavender.
I could tell that smell anywhere.
Let me get this right, You poured dye into your own purse?
Like I said...
a fruitcake.
Nice pipes.
Oh, Donald.
Great river Valley.
Is that your story?
Is there a boy overseas that you're sweet on?
Me? No.
It's just my mom and my brothers I miss.
How about you teach me?
Oh. I uh...
couldn't teach anybody anything.
It's you I could learn from.
Well....
first...
we best gets the bellows flop.
I'm just trying to school you.
Try again.
Stop that!
Come now, Katy, why did you bring me down here?
I didn't invite anybody! You work here!
Please! Stop!!
Relax, I won't tell anybody.
He had it coming.
Is he dead?
He'll be back on his feet soon enough.
Won't know what hit him.
If he thinks I did this, I can get into real trouble.
Dunn won't report nothing, it means he has to tell the boss what he was doing here.
He just said he was working. I'm the one stationed down here, not him.
So, that was you singing this morning?
You best get going, before he comes to.
It was your voice in the dark.
You're really good, you know that?
And look at the trouble it got me.
What happened to Mr Moretti?
The girls are gossiping, I would like to make an end to their tall tales.
You can tell them that I am hiring a new materials controller.
Shame too.
Moretti's experience was tailor-made for this place.
I'm sure you'll find someone else. I'll have to.
He'll be in turn now with his father.
Rest of his family be going hungry.
I pushed his pay cheques through petty cash.
I can't send money through the mail.
What do I want it for?
It needs to get to his family.
Then you deliver it, You're the one who fired him.
He's not going to be happy seeing me.
Well, he's not going to roll out the welcome mat for me either.
Take this money.
Give it to the Moretti family tonight.
I'll race you.
This day already got me beat and, now you're lining up to kick me in the dirt?
Is your thief still at large?
Yes and no. I caught the girl.
Hazel McDugall, but you think anyone would believe me?
You caught her?
Well, no, she's added my new scarf to her cachet, but it's the one you gave me.
That's terrible. So now it's war.
I she thinks she can just take what's mine...
she'll find her own ramparts getting stormed.
Maybe you ought to step over this cesspool.
Why would I?
You don't want to make waves, too many people find out you work on the factoryfloor.
James, I want you to help me not stop me.
It's just a stupid bottle of perfume. Yeah, from you.
Maybe I'm a little old fashioned, but I don't like to share.
Marco? Lorna...
What are you doing here?
I live here.
They said you were taken to an internment camp.
Chained up deprived of food and water, is that what you were hoping?
No, I... The internment camp...
was hear-say, just like the gossip that got the authorities swarming me.
Mr Akins sent this, it's you pay.
You planted that newspaper, didn't you?
They said to report any suspicious behavior.
The government cleared el chito di no caradese months ago..
But they came and arrested me anyway.
Now my security clearance is shot.
Me Lorna Corbett...
Pay cheque... not... in... mail.
You... come... eat.
No, mamma. Oh, no, no.
No, thank you, I should go. No no no.
Mama... Marco...
Okay...
You have to stay.
Your whole family... My sister and the kids are out.
My mother doesn't know that's my last pay cheque.
Keep it that way.
I'd wish you ran and found me.
But I wasn't frightened.
Not frightened?!
You watched a guy clobber your would-be rapist over the head.
Maybe you're in shock. I would have been, except this man saved me.
Yeah, from himself. No, it wasn't like that.
The first negro I've ever spoken to, have you ever?
Don't make a habit of it.
Maybe he'll be in storeroom tomorrow.
Then you be sure you aren't.
It's my mess, he cleaned up.
I thought I'd be able to carry one thing from my past. This locket my mom gave me.
Was I ever wrong.
That'll be Moira.
She's on the rampage for some laundry soap.
Kate?
It's Gladys Witham.
I've confirmed reports your inside this room.
Gladys?
What a surprise!
What the heck are you doing here?
So, this is where you live. I hope you don't mind I...
got Carol to look up your address. What brings you slumming?
I need help chasing down a thief.
We're having a quiet night in on the count that we don't have much spare cash.
If we find the culprit, your pay won't get docked.
Do you really think Hazel took your things?
That scent is not something you can buy at your local Simsons.
We'll storm in like it's Leningrad.
Catch her red handed.
Or purple handed! Exactly.
Come on, if we can find sniff out her loot, your name will be cleared.
Beats a quiet night in, don't you think? Come on.
Isn't this exciting?!
We're going to find the truth.
That's what I'm afraid of.
Sorry...
I'm making such a mess.
Mom says eat however ou like.
It's delicious.
Eyes.
Always eyes.
Uh...
That's how you trust.
Trust.
My mom grows the seeds from herbs our relatives sent from Colombria.
Italian seed in Canadian soil.
I wonder on whose side they're on
Looks like you're taking a trip on the good ship "Could have been".
You're a mindreader now?
Well...
it aint a pretty voyage.
And it's hard to book return passage, but...
no worries...
Archie is bringing you back.
I don't feel like it, thanks.
Maybe I just leave you a few for later.
Oh, would you look at this?
Who's been holding out on me?
Oh, Archie, don't!
We've got a minnie the moocher here!
You sure want to gasper now, don't you?
They upset my stomach, so I spit them out.
I'm not an idiot.
I know what this is.
Get out of my room.
Vera... Get out of here now, this is my room!
You have no right barging in here.
Wine every night?
You can't enjoy a good meal without it.
We like it so much, we have it twice in sunday.
You don't. Oh yeah, start first thing in the morning...
at church.
No wonder there's so many Catholics.
You know, when I put that paper in your locker, I told myself...
that if you're innocent nothing would happen and...
and if you where guilty, then...
Well, I have two sons in this war.
I tried enlisting.
The army said I would compromise troop cohesion.
So, I do my bit in the bomb factory instead.
At least, I did.
I'm sorry.
My husband, he...
always tells me that I'm afraid of what I don't know.
So you come out swinging?
Tell your mother thank you for diner.
You can try and hide it all you want, Lorna,
but I know you have a decent heart beating in there.
Tapping its secret code.
I don't have any secrets.
I'll walk home by myself.
Goodbye, Lorna.
Your friend Carol should stop giving out addresses.
Hazel is about to get ransacked. We're not humiliating her, okay?
We have to scare her straight, Bets. I may be her only victim now, but who knows?
You may be next. There's the culprit.
Where are you going? Hazel, you have to stop screaming.
You're making a mistake.
That's Hazel, spreading happiness wherever she goes.
Wait, stop! Hazel, listen to me!
Isn't that your fiancee?
You're an amazing woman.
You're a beautiful woman.
There must be some explanation.
I need to know what's going on. I think you do.
I'm sorry, Gladys.
Go get them.
How long has it been going on?
I told you, I never touched your stuff.
Come on Hazel...
We both know you've had your paws on my perfume,
my scarf...
and my fiancee.
Do you still see him?
You want to know?
Ask James.
It's all love and roses, until the truth coms out.
Don't worry, girls like you always get everything you want.
So you just took what was coming to you? Why should you get nice things and not me?
Because I am his fiancee!
You know, all I have to do is tell Miss Cor... Go right ahead.
Because all I have to do...
is stand outside the church on your wedding day
Big smile...
throwing rice in your face.
Wouldn't your family love that?
There are two more Marions I need to talk to. Can I get their coordinates?
Lorna.
Just who I was looking for.
Going through resumes, looking for a new materials controller.
This fellow lists you as a reference. Me?
He says he knows your husband.
Artie Fisk?
He drinks with Bob.
Never seen the inside of a munitions factory.
There are better candidates.
Yeah.
All overseas in uniform.
Look at this geezer, born in 1880.
I doubt if he could move even one pellet.
And this blodger,
great reference, his parole officer.
You do know...
Mr Moretti was cleared of al charges?
So I can either fight with management to keep an able eyetie,
or hire a useless canuk.
That inspection we just had. We both know it won't be our last.
You figure MOretti will only bring us more trouble?
Actually, uh...
I think he's our best change for passing.
Yes, Sir? Track down Marco Moretti for me.
I don't think I can afford them. I would love those
Your scarf.
Your perfume.
What's left of it.
Give this to Lorna. Make it right.
And lose my job?
Forget it.
You've taken enough from me.
Maybe he lied.
Maybe you didn't know about me.
But this is your change to do the right thing.
Don't think blues are shiftfree, Hazel.
No kidding.
Thought for sure you were going to tear her up.
Seems like someone else already did.
Some of the girls are getting up a game. You want to come over?
I can't.
James is taking me out for a late diner.
Some new place. Supposed to be wonderful.
I hope it's not a grossly mess.
I wanted to thank you.
We never properly met. I'm Kate Andrews.
Leon reily.
It was a thrill singing with you. It was just one song.
Have a nice night.
I grew up in the church, singing hymnes all the time, but...
it's like you put the life back in it. How do you sing like that?
It's not for me to school you, Miss Andrews.
Nice knowing you.
Marion!
So.
You also answer to the new name you picked up off the streets.
It was just the sound.
I spoke to every Marion who works at Vic-Mu and none of them are missing a locket.
It also seems Gladys' perfume was returned.
Yes...
it's all worked out, hasn't it?
Well, with this war on there's always something to keep your eye on.
Kate Andrews.
Your taste in women will get you in trouble, Leon.
You're the one got hurt.
If you keep this up...
you'd wish you never met her.
You touch her again, I will make sure...
you can't so much as push a broom around here.
Do you understand me?
We'll see who's pushing brooms.
You want to learn something about singing?
Get to know Billy Holiday.
Leon says I have to meet some guy named Billy Holiday.
I can make the introductions.
A double dose of pills should have you sleeping like a baby.
You're an angel.
Anything else? No that should do me.
Good night.
Thanks for not ratting me out.
Who am I to tell a gimp how to run her life?
How many more do you need?
Thirty.
You now, there are other ways.
Factory takes care of you, you still have a job. I can't go back there.
Not like this.
Family?
I told them I moved to Hollywood.
Why give them the satisfaction they were right all along, that I'm nothing but a pretty face.
Now I'm nothing.
And that aint even true.
You still got a killer figure.
And in all the right places.
Beat it Archie.
We both need our beauty sleep.
Good night Vera.
Well,
I just got my appetite. Right in time for diner.
What's that new scent?
Soap and water.
Why, how novel.
Yes.
It seems we both like simple things.
Something wrong, Gladys?
Just the factory air. Sometimes it gets a little close.
I do hope they ventilate that office you're in.
I'd hate to think of you breathing the same noxious fumes as those floorgirls.
Don't worry mother, they pipe in fresh mountain breezes from the Rockies.
You can't vex me tonight, dear. Not after your fiancees great deeds.
I'm afraid to ask.
James found his cousin an exceptable extrication from your wedding.
I told Richard that there was no way...
he is ruining my brides special day with some tardy show about his infidelity.
And so mister Spencer...
agreed to schedule a holiday during your nuptials.
How clever.
That way we can avoid any unpleasantness altogether.
You've got a great future in this town, James.
In fact, you've inspired another gambit of sorts.
I was thinking you might talk to John Abbly about his parents.
They're esteemed colleagues and competitors.
They begged off as they will still be in Barbados.
Gladys?
What wrong now?
Something has robbed me of my appitite.
I'm sorry, James.
I'm not much up for a meal.
I may be a little overdressed for you.
Oh, the heck with you. I stole a recordplayer from Moira down the hall.
Borrowed is probably a better word.
Good point.
The pipes burst?
Water everywhere.
You talked to him? I couldn't.
If I drive a crack in that wall now, the whole thing may come crumbling down.
Well, you're here now.
That's something.
Billy Holiday too.
It was on special.
You don't really expect me to eat this, do you? You'll never know if you like it, unless you try.
Is it supposed to be so mussy?
It's different Bob.
Try something new.
Not bad.
