Transcript
00:00Hello everyone, welcome to her Valentine's Day in October 2021
00:24Look, a letter. Wow. Look at the postmark, 1945. That's our address, but it says North
00:51London instead of South. Cool. Where'd you find it? In a box in the loft. The previous owners
00:57must have left it behind. Maybe it got delivered here by mistake and just got forgotten. Do
01:07you think I should open it? Isn't that illegal? It's probably just a really old bill. Look,
01:14if I can't open it, then we need to return it to the sender. You must be joking. It's
01:19over an hour's drive away. Please. Please. Come on. I want to see who owns it. I mean,
01:31it's unlikely this person is even still alive. Don't say that. People live well into their
01:3690s these days. Right. Well, give me the keys. Oh. Oh. You fucked the fuck. Don't tell anyone.
01:49There's no one in. Just put it through the letterbox. No, I need to see who owns it.
02:09Look, I've kept my end of the bargain. It's not my fault there's no one here. Just post
02:13the bloody thing. We've got to get back and unpack. Okay. Okay. You're no fun.
02:43There. You're no fun anyway. You're no fun. You're not really fun. You're
03:11Come on there.
03:15Come here.
03:17Yes.
03:19Oh, big boy.
03:21Hey, hey.
03:25Whatcha doing?
03:27Whatcha doing?
03:29What's this?
03:31See?
03:33What's that?
03:37Oh, yeah.
03:41Okay.
03:43Okay, break.
03:45Oh, okay.
03:47Oh, okay.
03:49Okay, okay.
03:51We're gonna eat?
03:53Okay.
03:55All right.
03:57I'm gonna eat.
03:59I'm gonna eat the milk.
04:01All right.
04:03Okay, cool.
04:05Let's go.
04:07If you're not going to say hello to me, you could at least say hello to Isaiah.
04:25Don't start. I'm not starting anything.
04:28I've had a shitty day at work. I don't need you nagging me.
04:32I'm going to get changed.
04:37I'm not going to get you night.
04:41Goodbye.
04:43Bye-bye.
04:47Bye-bye.
04:49Bye-bye.
04:51Bye-bye.
04:54Bye-bye.
04:57Bye-bye.
05:02My dearest Belle, I know the last time we met things were, shall I say, heartbreaking.
05:32What's wrong, Hannah? Why have you been avoiding me?
05:39I haven't. I've been busy.
05:43Doing what? Planning your wedding?
05:46Not now, Belle. We need to get to the shelter.
05:49Sod the shelter! Why can't you just be honest with me?
05:53Because it's too hard.
05:56Love isn't hard, Han. You're either in love with me or you're not.
06:01What's hard about that?
06:03I love you more than anything in the world.
06:07Just not enough to be with me.
06:10You care more about what people think than about us being together.
06:15How?
06:16I can't do this anymore.
06:18I can't live my life in a box. I'm proud of our love, even if you're not.
06:24Why can't you just try to understand?
06:29My family will never accept this.
06:33Then you have a choice to make.
06:36Them or me.
06:39I've made a dreadful mistake.
06:52Please forgive my indecision.
06:54I realise now that my life is not worth living if I can't be with you.
07:00Meet me at our special place on Friday at 2pm.
07:05I'll understand if you don't turn up.
07:07But I very much hope that you will.
07:09Love for now and always.
07:12Your loving Hannah.
07:14Anything important?
07:16Where'd you get this?
07:20You must have dropped it with the post.
07:27Oh my god.
07:30Phoebe!
07:34Do you know this letter's dated 1945?
07:36Yeah, it's obviously an epic postal fail.
07:39Aren't you intrigued?
07:40Nope.
07:42Well, I am.
07:44I'm going to find Belle.
07:46How?
07:47How do you think?
07:48Google.
07:50Belle.
07:51Choku.
07:52Sounds like an unusual name to me.
07:55You won't find anything.
08:00Wrong.
08:02Look.
08:07Even if it is her, she's what, in her 90s now?
08:10She's probably dead.
08:11What is wrong with you?
08:13There's nothing wrong with me.
08:14I'm just surprised you have time for anything that doesn't revolve around me.
08:17You are unbelievable.
08:18This poor woman spent her entire life not knowing that Hannah chose her.
08:22Sometimes I think I know how that feels.
08:24Ah!
08:25Ah!
08:26Ah!
08:27Sometimes I think I know how that feels.
08:28Ah!
08:29Ah!
08:30You're okay.
08:31You're okay.
08:32You're okay.
08:33You're okay?
08:34You're okay?
08:35Are you okay?
09:06Hi Claudia, it's Faith.
09:15Yeah, we're good, thanks.
09:17Listen, I need your advice.
09:20I need to find a woman who used to live in this house.
09:25I thought estate agents held records of previous owners.
09:32Oh, yeah, of course.
09:33Just a thought.
09:36No, thanks anyway.
09:41Okay, bye.
09:48Well, that's not a good start, is it?
09:50Yeah, is it?
09:51We'll just have to think of something else, won't we?
09:54Okay.
09:55I'm in the living room.
10:11Who are they for?
10:13You, city.
10:13Who else?
10:14How did your search go today?
10:33How did your search go today?
10:36Failed before I even got started.
10:37Oh, really?
10:38Yeah, I called Claudia, she couldn't help.
10:41Let me guess, state of protection?
10:43Yeah.
10:43I've had an idea.
10:55We can search for Bell in the electoral roll.
10:59We?
11:00Yes.
11:01Yes.
11:02We.
11:06That letter, it really made me think about us.
11:14And?
11:15And I guess parenthood was a shock to the system.
11:25For us both.
11:27But we're a unit.
11:29The three of us.
11:31I know that.
11:32I know that now.
11:33Honestly, I don't want to lose either of you.
11:37You won't.
11:43I love you.
11:46We love you.
11:49I love you both, too.
11:55Let's find Bell and give her her happy ending, eh?
12:02Can you imagine what life was like for lesbians in the 1940s?
12:05Not being with who you love, just because society disapproves.
12:10No.
12:15Didn't just get you flowers, you know?
12:18No.
12:26LAUGHTER
12:27LAUGHTER
12:28LAUGHTER
12:29LAUGHTER
12:59What are the chances of Belle still living here?
13:02You never know.
13:29Hi there. I'm looking for Belle.
13:35Sorry. No one here by that name.
13:37Oh. This house was her last address on the electoral roll.
13:40I don't know what to tell you. I'm just a tenant. I have no idea who lived here before.
13:44Okay. Sorry to have bothered you.
13:47Hang on a minute. Millie's been here for years. Maybe she knew her?
13:59Okay.
14:27Leave your number.
14:28If she knows anything, I'll get her to give you a ring tonight.
14:33Millie hasn't called.
14:36Millie's not meant to be.
14:39At least it brought us back together.
14:43Everything happens for a reason.
14:45Quick answer before the baby wakes.
15:00Hello?
15:02Millie, of course. It's not too early.
15:03Yeah.
15:04Mm-hmm.
15:05Mm.
15:06Oh.
15:07Millie, you are an absolute star. Thank you. I could kiss you. Bye.
15:12Millie knows where Belle is.
15:13Millie knows where Belle is.
15:14Mill house retirement home in Dulwich.
15:15Oh, you're kidding me.
15:16What's the next move, Batwoman?
15:17I'll call the place and let them know we're coming. We've got a letter to deliver.
15:19Mm-hmm.
15:20One more thing before you go.
15:21I'll call the place and let them know we're coming.
15:23As if I can't.
15:24You're an absolute star. Thank you. I could kiss you.
15:25Thank you, bye.
15:26Millie knows where Belle is.
15:27Mill house retirement home in Dulwich.
15:28Oh, you're kidding me.
15:29What's the next move, Batwoman?
15:30I'll call the place and let them know we're coming. We've got a letter to deliver.
15:32One more thing before you go. You could kiss Millie, huh?
15:39As if you could kiss Millie.
15:41As if I would. These lips are only for you, my sweet pea. They better be.
16:11I'll call the place and let them know we're coming.
16:38If the bell is in the garden, just go through the door on your right.
17:08Miss Teofy?
17:33Please, call me Belle.
17:36I'm Faith, and this is my fiancée Phoebe, and our son Isaiah.
17:41We have something for you.
17:45What's this?
17:47Something you should have received a very long time ago.
17:51Where did you get this?
18:06It came in the post. We don't really know where it came from.
18:10Oh, I am mine.
18:16Hannah! Oh, Hannah!
18:19I'm so sorry. We didn't mean to upset you.
18:22You haven't met an old woman very happy.
18:27More than you'll ever know.
18:33Hannah gave me this.
18:37It's a beautiful bracelet. Really unusual.
18:40Is everything okay over here?
18:43Yes, Dawn. Everything is fine now.
18:47Unique. Not unusual.
18:49We had them specially made.
18:51You two can bear matching moons within our day.
18:56It's gorgeous, but it might not be as unique as you think.
18:59One of our former residents had one just like it.
19:02Oh, my God.
19:04Former?
19:05Her family moved her to another home a few months before Belle moved here.
19:09Do you remember her name?
19:11Hannah.
19:12Really?
19:13I'm so nervous. I feel like a teenager.
19:40Yes?
19:41Hannah, it's me.
19:43Belle.
19:53Oh.
19:55Belle.
19:57Is that really you?
19:59Is it?
20:02Oh, my gosh.
20:07We've got another catching up to do.
20:10I don't know.
20:11I only just got your letter.
20:15It's been way too long.
20:18Where did all this go?
20:20Woo-hoo...
20:26Uh-ah.
20:28Oh, my gosh.
20:30...
20:32Yeah.
20:33Let's go.
20:34Oh, no.
20:35Oh, oh.
20:38I don't know.
20:39Ooh.
