00:30A letter. Wow. Look at the postmark. 1945. That's our address. But it says North London
00:51instead 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
01:03forgotten. Do you think I should open it? Isn't that illegal? It's probably just a
01:12really old bill. Look if I can't open it then we need to return it to the sender.
01:17You must be joking. It's over an hour's drive away. Please. Please. Come on. I want to see
01:27who owns it. I mean it's unlikely this person is even still alive. Don't say that. People
01:35live well into their 90s these days. Right. Well. Give me the keys. Oh. Oh. Don't tell anyone.
01:48There'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
02:13a bloody thing. We've got to get back and unpack. Okay. Okay. You're no fun.
02:43I need to talk about it. I have to know. Good one here. Be careful.
02:51Hi, the dog.

03:20Big boy.
03:21Hey, hey.
03:25Whatcha doing?
03:27Whatcha doing?
03:29What's this?
03:31Hey?
03:33What's that?
03:37How are you?
03:41Yeah?
03:43How are you?
03:51I didn't know what to do.
03:53It's hot.
03:55It's hot.
03:57It's hot.
03:59But it's hot.
04:05Is it hot?
04:07The smell just like it's good.
04:09You don't even know who it is and it's got bigger.
04:13You'd never drink.
04:15We're bound to do so much.
04:17This is a secret.
04:19If you're not going to say hello to me, you could at least say hello to Isaiah.
04:25Don't start.
04:26I'm not starting anything.
04:28I've had a shitty day at work.
04:30I don't need you nagging me.
04:33I'm going to get changed.
04:49I'm going to get changed.
05:04My dearest Belle, I know the last time we met things were, shall I say, heartbreaking.
05:34What's wrong, Hannah? Why have you been avoiding me?
05:40I haven't. I've been... busy.
05:44Doing what? Planning your wedding?
05:47Not 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.
05:57Love isn't hard, Han. You're either in love with me or you're not. What'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?
06:30My family will never accept this.
06:33Then you have a choice to make.
06:36Them or me.
06:40I'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.
07:08But I very much hope that you will.
07:10Love for now and always.
07:13Your loving Hannah.
07:15Anything important?
07:19Where'd you get this?
07:21You must have dropped it with the post.
07:23Oh 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.
07:43I'm going to find Belle.
07:46How?
07:47How do you think?
07:48Google.
07:49Belle Choku.
07:52Sounds like an unusual name to me.
07:55You won't find anything.
08:01Wrong.
08:03Look.
08:08Even if it is her, she's what, in her 90s now?
08:11She's probably dead.
08:12What is wrong with you?
08:14There's nothing wrong with me.
08:15I'm just surprised you have time for anything that doesn't revolve around the baby.
08:20You are unbelievable.
08:22This poor woman spent her entire life not knowing that Hannah chose her.
08:26Sometimes I think I know how that feels.
08:28I don't know how that feels.
08:30I don't know how that feels.
08:31I don't know how that feels.
08:33for her.
08:34I don't know how that feels.
08:35I don't know how that feels.
08:49I don't know where it appears.
08:52Fire.
08:53Hi Claudia, it's Faith.
08:59Yeah, we're good, thanks.
09:03Listen, I need your advice, I need to find a woman who used to live in this house.
09:22I thought estate agents held records of previous owners.
09:32Oh, yeah, of course, just a thought.
09:37No, thanks anyway.
09:42Okay, bye.
09:49Well that's not a good start.
09:50Is it Isaiah?
09:51We'll just have to think of something else, won't we?
09:57Hey?
09:58We're in the living room.
10:09Who are they for?
10:12You silly, who else?
10:19How did your search go today?
10:20Failed before I even got started.
10:21Oh really?
10:22Yeah, I called Claudia, she couldn't help.
10:26Let me guess, state of protection.
10:27Yeah.
10:28I've had an idea.
10:33We can search for Belle on the electoral roll.
10:34We?
10:35Yes.

17:46What's this?
17:48Something you should have received a very long time ago.
17:53Where did you get this?
18:07It came in the post. We don't really know where it came from.
18:11Oh, I am mine.
18:17Hannah! Oh, Hannah!
18:20I'm so sorry. We didn't mean to upset you.
18:23You made an old woman very happy. More than you'll ever know.
18:30Hannah gave me this.
18:36It's a beautiful bracelet. Really unusual.
18:41Is everything okay over here?
18:43Yes, Dawn. Everything is fine now.
18:47Unique, not unusual. We had them specially made.
18:52We chickened their matching rooms, but in our day...
18:56It's gorgeous, but it might not be as unique as you think.
19:00One of our former residents had one just like it.
19:03Oh, my God. Former?
19:05Her family moved her to another home a few months before Belle moved here.
19:09Do you remember her name?
19:11Hannah.
