The Human Condition (E05)

When tragedy strikes the Langfeld’s, Walter spots an opportunity to turn the situation to his advantage, suggesting a union between Nigel and Joan, and subsequently their two companies. Despite initial reservations, he is powerless in the face of her charm. As Japanese bombs litter Singapore, Ehrendorf returns from the front line and joins Matthew and the Major on the auxiliary fire service to tackle the growing blazes. Despite securing their own departure, the Blacketts reject Matthew’s frantic pleas to help Vera escape, but he resolves to try all other avenues. Elsewhere, a devastated Walter refuses to accept some shocking news. (Viasat)
