"Aim..."
Crikey, this is bleak, bleak stuff and an unflinching study of fascism. And this is a kids' programme?
Things take an unexpected turn; Julia and Gervais don't end up escaping afgter all, their acts of sabotage being far too serious fr the punishment block... and when Mordrin arrives they are interrogated while being sleep deprived and forced to stand for hours. Things are already pretty damn intense by the time they are separated and Mordrin begins the real mind games.
It's an impossible choice. Gervais must sign a document renouncing his father and the rebellion, and pledging to become a Knight of God, or Julia will be summatrily executed by firing squad. The tension is horrifying... and poor, brave Julia gets to experience all the suffering of thinking she's about to die until the execution is called off.
Surely a promise brought about by coercion is worthless? Regardless, this is devastating, brilliant telly.
