- You took your time.

- I had trouble finding red currents.

- No.

They don't sell them at the Drovers.

- How do you know?

How do you always know?

- Because I'm a mother with a sixth sense - (laughing) - and a nose.

Have you seen my Edward knocking about?

- Let's talk about it over a brew.

- [Siegfried] When did that come back?

- [Mrs. Hall] What did you call me?

"Patron saint of lost causes"?

- Among many other, much more flattering things.

I'll drive you to Scarborough.

We won't stop until we find him.

- I've chased Edward long enough.

He knows where I am.

Caught him stealing from my former employer.

He expected me to lie from him.

- [Young Woman] No news of Edward?

- [Mrs. Hall] It said in his letter he's be here Christmas Eve.

- After what he put you through he better be groveling on bended knee.

- Still no word from Edward?

- Edward?

- [James] No, it's me.

- You're allowed to be upset, you know.

- He's got something much more exciting to do on Christmas Day than hanging around with his mother.

- [Mrs. Hall] I really thought he might be ready to forgive me - Anything from Edward this year?

- No, I didn't expect it.

That don't mean I wasn't hoping for it.

- [Mrs. Hall] I can't help thinking of my boy.

- [Man] Hey, there's a chance the whole thing will be called off.

There's still hope.

- [Edward] Dear Mother, it's been quite some time.

I'm training with the Navy.

I think it would feel right for us to meet.

- I'm sure they're on their way.

He's my son.

- Son?

- Son.

Alright.

- Mother.

Sorry for making you wait this long.

- It's quite alright.

- I really am sorry, honestly - You'll be fine.

- How can you be so sure?

- Well you'll do your training then you'll come home in one piece.

- You said war damaged Dad.

What if it damages me?

- I've always seen the good in you.

- Then why did you give me to police?

- I didn't do it to punish you.

I didn't.

I thought it would fix the mistakes I'd made somehow.

I'm sorry, Edward.

I'm so sorry.

I never stopped loving you.

- (train whistling) - What did you say, Edward?

I can't hear you.

Say it again!

What is it?

Edward!

- He said, "I love you, Ma."

- [Mrs. Hall] The very ground beneath me feels like it's shifted.

I feel... lighter.

- (inhaling) - He's finally realized how much you care.

I don't think any of us know quite how to express our gratitude to you, Mrs. Hall.

- (inhaling) - Believe me.

- Hmm.

- (sheep baa-ing)
