00:00Apparently, when I was christened, I screamed my head off the whole way through the service.
00:05I don't remember it, of course, but I'll remember this.
00:11It is special, and it deserves celebration, so may God bless you and keep you always.
00:17But this is your Bible, Cyril. It's the one you bought from British Guyana.
00:22It came with me on my journey, so it's only right you have it at the start of yours.
00:30Go straight to Mrs Kovach with these aides. Occupational therapy kept her waiting long enough.
00:37How long has she had multiple sclerosis?
00:39Five years, according to her notes.
00:42I'll read them before I set off.
00:44You're not setting off anywhere till I'm sure you fix that box to your bicycle correctly.
00:49Nurse Clifford is perfectly capable of managing the straps.
00:54With respect, Nurse Crane, it was you who encouraged me to go on the Prevention of Accidents course.
00:59Nurse Crane, before you get started, the roster may need recalibrating.
01:07St Cuthbert's have called, and they are short-staffed yet again.
01:10They have asked if one of our midwives might be seconded to maternity.
01:14Is that usual? More usual than it ought to be.
01:17Is this Sister Brooks asking again?
01:19Sister Marcus, I'm not sure we're familiar with her.
01:23I wondered if you might oblige, Nurse Highland.
01:26I know you enjoy hospital work.
01:28I would only go if Nurse Crane is agreeable.
01:30I'm agreeable enough.
01:32As long as you get in there and apprise them their shortcomings vis-Ã -vis early discharge
01:37and the incorrect management of sutures.
01:41I will tell Sister Marcus to expect you.
01:50Oh!
01:51Isn't he looking absolutely champion?
01:54He's getting so bonny!
01:56Oh, it's so lovely to be at this quieter point in his chemotherapy cycle.
02:01We're on our way to feed the ducks at the river, but I've forgotten to bring the bread.
02:05I don't suppose you'd mind watching him for a moment while I pop into the shop?
02:08It would be an absolute pleasure.
02:11Hello!
02:12Sister Marcus, I'm Nurse Highland.
02:19The only thing better than being punctual is being early.
02:23A maternity ward must run like clockwork or it doesn't run at all.
02:28Babies do tend to turn up when they want to.
02:30Indeed.
02:32But we have two ladies booked in for induction tomorrow.
02:35That at least we can prepare for.
02:37Our senior midwives are all on the delivery ward this morning.
02:41I need you to supervise Mr. Perry's antenatal clinic.
02:44Of course, Sister Marcus.
02:46I always enjoy clinic work on the district.
02:48This is nothing like the district.
02:55Good morning.
02:56I'm here to see Mrs. Vera Kovac.
02:59Please do come in.
03:03Nurse Clifford, pleasure to meet you.
03:06This is my husband, Lassloo.
03:08We fled Hungary together during the revolution and he's been by my side ever since.
03:14He comes home every day at lunchtime to take me for a walk.
03:19But I'm too exhausted today.
03:21Tomorrow will be better.
03:22And if it isn't, I will carry you in my arms down the road just so you can see the sun.
03:29Look after her, please, Nurse.
03:31Nurse.
03:32She's my treasure.
03:33I absolutely shall.
03:37Service.
03:38Service.
03:47I'm sorry I didn't catch your name.
03:48Agata Bolasza, my cousin who came from Hungary to help me round the house.
03:53I always say, God sent her.
04:01I've been here an hour.
04:02My urine's not even been tested yet.
04:04We've already checked out today so we can only get one urine sample at a time.
04:08Well then, I'll test it myself.
04:11Come on, girls.
04:12Who else is sick of waiting?
04:13Come on.
04:14Do it ourselves.
04:15Go.
04:22All right, ladies.
04:23Stop what you're doing and take a seat.
04:26One more peep out to any of you and you'll go to the bottom of today's list.
04:33Now, I know you've been waiting a long time, so I'm going to send for the tea trolley.
04:38How does that sound?
04:40Tea and biscuits all round, free of charge.
04:43It is so frustrating not to be able to do the small things.
04:55You start to feel like half a person and you worry other people see you like that too.
05:02Your husband certainly doesn't.
05:05He seems utterly devoted.
05:08This hand does seem a little stiff still.
05:11I'll refer you back to the physiotherapist.
05:16Mrs Kovacs, what's this?
05:19I lost my grip on a cup of tea.
05:23I couldn't really feel it at the time.
05:26That's possibly because of your condition.
05:29It's showing signs of infection.
05:31We'll need to dress it every day.
05:32Well, pop onto the couch for me, Mrs Hudson.
05:40Miss, but I'd generally just go by Eileen.
05:44You gave a good account to yourself out there, nurse.
05:47I was raised to take no nonsense.
05:49So was I.
05:51Number one rule in life.
05:52I was told, give as good as you get and never back down.
05:56As long as you do it with a smile.
05:58Only three weeks until your due date.
06:00How are preparations going for baby's arrival?
06:03I don't normally ask that.
06:05I'm on a budget, but I have been knitting.
06:09And have there been any changes since your last appointment?
06:14Yes, nurse.
06:16I, er, went to LARV just after I got here.
06:22Is this fresh blood?
06:25Yeah.
06:26I've just been in the stock room and none of those old papers has been cleared out.
06:36I've heard these old comics.
06:39They're great.
06:41Reggie, the whole point of a spring clean is to make space.
06:46They can't stay here.
06:48You'll have to think of something else.
06:49I shall arrange for Miss Hudson to have a soft tissue x-ray and she must be admitted to the ward.
06:58You mean stay in? How long for?
07:01Well, let's see what the x-ray tells us, but we should assume for the remainder of your pregnancy.
07:09There's something wrong with the baby, isn't there?
07:12Honey, let's not jump to conclusions.
07:14I can't stay in. I haven't got anything with me.
07:16Is there no one who could pop in with a nightdress and some toiletries?
07:20I'm doing this on my own, nurse.
07:23The hospital has gowns. I'll make sure you're kitted out.
07:36Oh, I didn't mean to wake you.
07:39I found some of Nurse Clifford's favourite tulips on the market and I wanted to give her a surprise.
07:43Young love was ever thus.
07:47I'm also open to ask her for help with a sermon.
07:54I've been asked to be a guest preacher at Centau's Wells and it's a different style to my own church.
08:01As a Pentecostalist, do you wait for the Holy Spirit to move you?
08:09Yes, usually.
08:11Oh.
08:13I have yearned for some Anglican clergy to do likewise.
08:18I have been given a text from Paul to start me off.
08:23For we walk by faith, not by sight.
08:27That is from the Corinthians.
08:29I would offer my assistance, but it is the voice of the fresh, nascent faith that you should heed.
08:36Age has attenuated me.
08:40You are the wisest soul I know.
08:44I'm going to leave you to get on with your rest.
08:47Rest is for the dissolute.
08:50I am merely closing my eyes in pursuit of mental clarity.
08:55Good morning. I thought I was doing well being half an hour early.
09:08I have been here half an hour already.
09:11I always try to get ahead with rosters and notes before my shift begins so I can concentrate on our patients.
09:19I think of it as oiling the machine.
09:21Is there anything you could assign to me? I am here to help.
09:28I aim to become a war sister too one day.
09:31I am glad you used the word one day.
09:34I have been here fifteen years and I was passed over for promotion four times.
09:39What made the difference in the end?
09:43Being exceptionally good at my job.
09:46I am persevering.
09:47If you want to succeed Nurse Highland, you will have to work harder than everyone else.
09:54Getting earlier than everyone else.
09:57And oil that machine better than anyone else.
10:02Can you do that?
10:04I can try.
10:06And I will try.
10:08I am trying already.
10:09I know.
10:11But make no mistake.
10:13They are looking for reasons not to promote women like us.
10:19Whatever else you do, do not stick your head above the parapet.
10:23See, ouch if I hurt you.
10:29Burns can be very painful.
10:31No, you have a very gentle touch, Nurse.
10:35Well, one way and another I change a lot of dressings.
10:38And I handle a lot of babies.
10:39Watching a child come into the world must be a most magical thing.
10:47I hoped for so long to have my own child.
10:52But life is sweet in so many other ways.
10:57Soft tissue x-ray of the uterus reveals grade 3 placenta previa, with the placenta lying completely over the os when closed and up to three fingers dilation.
11:12Is that bad?
11:14It's not optimal due to the risk of hemorrhage.
11:18Will perform a cesarean section as soon as you reach 38 weeks.
11:22Bed rest in the meantime.
11:23And I will see you daily.
11:28The cesarean section?
11:30They cut you open.
11:31It takes months to recover.
11:32I can't have that, Nurse.
11:34I know it's not what you want.
11:35But you're in the best place.
11:37Mr. Parry's going to look after you, and so am I.
11:49Agata?
11:58Agata?
12:00Why were you eating from the bin?
12:01I was not eating.
12:03You are mistaken.
12:05I have a tea cake in my bag.
12:07Would you like it?
12:11I thought I might fancy a snack.
12:13I'm not hungry.
12:19Agata, have you hurt your arm?
12:23No, it is nothing.
12:26Please, you must go now.
12:28I'm afraid I won't leave until you let me look at it.
12:37You have a burn that's turning septic.
12:40You must come to the doctor and get it treated.
12:43No, I cannot go to the doctor.
12:45Agata!
12:47Why not?
12:50Agata, I want you!
12:52Because I do not leave this house.
13:00I have your iron pills, Nurse Hudson.
13:03Twice a day on Mr. Parry's orders.
13:05He certainly gives plenty of them.
13:07I hate using bedpans. I can't get any sleep.
13:09In this hospital night, he's rubbing my neck red raw.
13:11I'm sorry.
13:12My auntie Maura always said big girls don't cry.
13:15I'm scared girls cry.
13:16Tired ones too.
13:17You've had a tough couple of days.
13:18I was feeling all gung-ho and can-do about bringing up a baby on me own and now I'm just lying to you.
13:22thinking about it.
13:23I'm terrified.
13:24Who's auntie Maura?
13:25I'm sorry.
13:27My auntie Moira always said big girls don't cry.
13:31I'm scared girls cry.
13:33Tired ones too.
13:35You've had a tough couple of days.
13:39I was feeling all gung-ho and can-do about bringing up a baby on me own and now I'm just lying here thinking about it.
13:48I'm terrified.
13:52Who's auntie Moira?
13:53Will she be on home to her?
13:59She brought me up after my mum passed away.
14:02Never had any children of her own.
14:05Didn't have a mother of my own.
14:09So you filled each other's gaps.
14:11I was raised by my grandmother.
14:13I understand how it works.
14:16Do you understand how it can not work?
14:20You were each other's everything.
14:22Then you grew up and wanted more?
14:29I'd only got half of what I hoped for.
14:32A baby.
14:34No wedding ring.
14:35She wanted me to go away to have it and then give it up.
14:40I said no.
14:42You were entitled to say no.
14:44She called me a tart.
14:46I wouldn't mind.
14:49Only she works at a club called Ostrichogogo.
14:52I have strippers.
14:53She swore she'd never speak to me again.
15:02And we'd have to hear that.
15:03I would have to hear that.
15:06There's no Joyce.
15:06I didn't mind.
15:07I thought I was.
15:08I thought I was going to wear a mask.
15:09I thought it would be a good one.
15:10I thought I was going to wear a mask.
15:11And I thought the proof of it only needed to go otherwise.
15:13And I thought I was going to wear a mask.
15:14I thought it would be so good.
15:14Did y'all have a lovely time together?
15:18We're watching Blue Peter.
15:23When Blue Peter in 29 years' time comes out here,
15:25they'll be able to dig up this box and see exactly what we were like
15:28and what we were doing here today.
15:30A time capsule. We should make it our own.
15:34Mum, do you have any spare time capsules we could use?
15:38We could bury them in the garden.
15:39Here they are.
15:41Oh, tell you what, Reg.
15:48Spring cleaning ain't for the faint-hearted.
15:50I reckon we've earned a shandy down at the Hand and Shears.
15:55I can't, Dad. I'm busy.
15:58Then what?
16:00Making it at home capsule.
16:04I saw Agatha eating out of the bin, Miss Higgins.
16:08And not only was that burn extremely infected,
16:10she says she's not allowed to leave the house.
16:13I have nothing under her surname, Belasa.
16:16And she's not registered at the Kovach's address.
16:19Without an address, I can't locate her local hospital number.
16:22She may not have one,
16:24but she needs medical attention, Miss Higgins.
16:27Can we register her with this practice
16:30and arrange a home visit?
16:31I can set her up as a temporary patient,
16:35using the Kovach's address.
16:38But if her relatives are mistreating her,
16:41as you describe,
16:42you may need to think carefully before you intervene,
16:45lest it render her situation even worse.
16:48I don't think it could be much worse.
16:51Sister,
16:53Eileen Hudson's blood pressure seems a little high.
16:55What's the reading?
16:57130 over 90.
16:59I believe anxiety is to blame.
17:01She's distressed about her family situation
17:03and worried about bringing up her child alone.
17:07It's good to take note of these things,
17:09but this is a very busy ward,
17:12and we have to focus on the medical issues.
17:14We always have time for a few kind words,
17:17but we don't have time for emotional involvement.
17:20Would you do that for a file that will go absolutely spare?
17:29Reginald Jackson.
17:32I need a tin for my tongue capsule.
17:37Well, that is all well and good,
17:39but did it have to be my button tin?
17:43You said we needed to make more space.
17:50I don't think I've ever known dinner to be so quiet.
17:54They're writing lists of things to put into their time capsule.
17:57They're making more just like on Blue Peter.
18:00It's captured their imagination ever so much.
18:03Daddy, do you think there will be doctors in Year 2000?
18:07Of course there will,
18:08but there'll be robots,
18:10and they'll use rocket launchers to fly to their appointments.
18:13No, they won't.
18:14They'll just beam themselves everywhere like they do in Star Trek.
18:18Well, I hope we'll still have some humans as doctors in the future.
18:22Why?
18:23Well, because people often keep quiet about what's bothering them.
18:27You need human ears to hear that.
18:42Poplar, 7982.
18:44Who's speaking, please?
18:45Eileen, is that you?
18:55Well, if it is, there is nothing I've got to say to you.
18:58Oh, goodness.
19:14You'll be in Australia if you carry on like that.
19:17Are you by any chance doing a Blue Peter time capsule?
19:20What are you going to bury?
19:21I'm putting comics in.
19:26People will always want funny things to read.
19:29You can do one with a Bible.
19:31I suppose I could.
19:33It wouldn't be very original, though.
19:35Or have many jokes in.
19:36This girl's lovely.
19:44Is it a hospital one?
19:46I found it at an artist's house.
19:48It's been freshly laundered.
19:50Did you have some breakfast this morning?
19:52They brought it around ever so early.
19:54Soggy cornflakes.
19:55I couldn't face it.
19:55I can't say I blame you.
19:57I'll find you a couple of rounds of toast.
19:59Did I hear the word toast?
20:01None for you, I'm afraid.
20:03You're having operation this afternoon.
20:06Why?
20:07Has something else gone wrong?
20:09Mr. Perry's unhappy with your blood pressure.
20:11Vera is not here.
20:31I know.
20:32I saw them leave for their midday walk.
20:35I've come to dress the burn on your arm.
20:37Vera must not know.
20:38It will make her angry.
20:39You not receiving the care you need
20:41makes me angry, Agatha.
20:43But also, if you can tell me how this happened,
20:46it might help us to decide what we should do.
20:52Vera threw the water at me from the kettle.
21:02She hurt me.
21:04She hurt me all the time.
21:09One minute I'm scared, the next I'm excited.
21:13Let's go with excited.
21:15I'd be right in the room with Yanni.
21:22Agatha, can you tell me why Vera would do this to you?
21:27She wants me to have a baby.
21:33Why does she want you to have a baby?
21:36Not for me, for her.
21:39She cannot, so I must.
21:42But when I bleed, she hits me.
21:44So you aren't pregnant now?
21:49I wish, yes, so he will stop.
21:53But I think, no.
21:56So he keeps on.
21:59He?
22:00Who is he?
22:02Laszlo.
22:06They say I belong to them, that all is permitted.
22:08None of this is permitted.
22:12This is rape.
22:14Have you ever tried to run away?
22:17I have no papers.
22:20They took my passport and...
22:23I have no money.
22:25Because they don't pay you?
22:29Agatha, have you ever asked anyone for help?
22:33I think that I am asking now.
22:35Doins retracted, please.
22:56PP rising.
22:57PP rising.
23:05Baby girl.
23:11Time, please.
23:12Two minutes past two.
23:29Perfect.
23:29And now we turn our attention to the delivery of our erstwhile adversary, the preceptor.
23:35Ergometrian, if you'd believe so, can't.
23:49Agatha needs every kind of help, Cyril.
23:51I can put her on the Linatus books as an antenatal patient.
23:54But we have to find her somewhere safe to live now.
23:57Before she is injured again.
23:58Before she is raped again.
24:00And before she actually gets pregnant.
24:01Rosalind, you have to slow down.
24:04I'll open a file on her straight away.
24:06But these things have to be done properly.
24:08Can you get her into the women's hostel tonight?
24:10It's full.
24:11It's been full for two weeks.
24:14I'm going to tell her to go there anyway.
24:16Agatha, I will be quick.
24:31But I need you to listen.
24:33Agatha!
24:35This is the address of a women's hostel.
24:37They will take you in and you will be safe.
24:39Sorry, ladies.
24:46I just took a jug of lemon barley out to Reggie.
24:49He's been digging like a navvy all afternoon.
24:52Every child at the knit clinic was talking about time capsules.
24:56They're even doing one at John Tess School.
24:58The headmaster has contacts at the raw mint.
25:00And it's going to include samples of every current banknote.
25:04It's fascinating to try to think that far ahead.
25:07I'll be 55 in the year 2000.
25:10I was 55 in the general strike.
25:16During the abdication.
25:19My recollections fade.
25:22But it matters not to God.
25:25For whom a thousand years is but a day.
25:27I wonder how many babies will have been born in Poplar
25:32by the time they dig these capsules up.
25:35And who will be delivering them
25:36if Narnata's house isn't here anymore?
25:39That's an interesting assumption, Miss Edward.
25:41I suggest we refrain from speculation at present.
25:46Sister Veronica, would you like to lead us in the grace?
25:54Oh, what's all this?
25:55Are we having a jumble sale?
25:58Daddy, it's for our time capsule.
25:59I've had to remove a sachet of Angel Delight
26:02and a box of chocolate fingers
26:03that somehow made their way into the capsule.
26:06We might be hungry in the year 2000.
26:09I think we should take a photo of us all together
26:12when we bury it.
26:13And one all together when we dig it up.
26:16We won't be together in the year 2000.
26:19Christopher won't be in England anymore, will he?
26:22That's right.
26:23As soon as he's better,
26:25he's going home to Mummy in Hong Kong.
26:27A BP has stabilised and a blood loss is normal.
26:34That can be the last of the 30-minute observations.
26:38Hourly checks from now on.
26:40Baloo and I have had an idea about something to put in the 13th Poplar time capsule.
26:51But what suggestions do you have, Pat?
26:53We should bury a car because in the year 2000, it will all be spaceship.
27:01Yay!
27:01Thank you, Neil.
27:02Well, but I think we may struggle to get a car into a biscuit tin.
27:07What we thought was that we would include a selection of Cub Scout badges.
27:12And each of you can write a letter about one of the badges and what you did to earn it.
27:20Hands up who thinks that's a good idea.
27:24Thank you, Andrew.
27:26Your hand went up first, so you get first pick of the badges.
27:29Now, are there any questions?
27:31My teeth just come out.
27:35Can I put that in?
27:36Can I put that in?
27:37Can I put that in?
27:39How much longer will you feel?
27:45She's young.
27:46And she's healthy.
27:48She's not like me.
27:50She should have conceived by now.
27:52It will happen soon.
27:54I will make sure of it.
28:08Where are you going with those?
28:10Do that.
28:14And then come to me.
28:24Agatha, come to me.
28:45Eileen, I was just coming to do your observations.
28:49I didn't know you were awake.
28:51In a lot of pain.
28:52I don't know where my baby is.
28:55I thought we'd be in a coma.
28:56I could see him not woke up now.
29:00Didn't they get her out?
29:02Honey, you've just had an operation, so you're not thinking straight just yet.
29:07You have a beautiful little girl.
29:10And she's up in the nursery, giving you some peace and quiet.
29:13I can't help me.
29:16I'm ready to see you in a nursery, aren't you, baby?
29:18After I've checked you over, I'm going up to the nursery
29:22and I'll bring her down in a bassinet.
29:25Only for five minutes, mind.
29:28I just need to see that she's real.
29:29We are full, but we will always find a corner somewhere, if you're under Ninata's house.
29:43This whole store's not so bad, you know, love.
29:45I wouldn't usually ask to speak with you so late at night,
29:52but I find I'm unable to take my sisters into my confidence as much as I would like.
29:57They know some things, but not all.
30:00I understand.
30:03But since Easter, when the board gave us their ultimatum...
30:06Since Lent, when I told them I would make a decision at the time of our choosing.
30:11Well, I've been talking to the Lady Emily about how they're financed.
30:15And it's extremely interesting.
30:16Why have you been talking to the Lady Emily?
30:18That clinic is run for the benefit of the rich, not the needy.
30:22Our mission lies with the poor.
30:23Nenata's house, Sister Julian.
30:35I'm afraid Nurse Clifford is not here.
30:38We do have another midwife on duty, who will come and see Agatha.
30:46Here she is.
30:47Excited as anything to meet her mummy.
30:52Eileen!
30:52I'm cold.
31:15I need help.
31:19We have a major postpartum hemorrhage.
31:21We've got a little girl who needs you, Eileen.
31:31I need help.
31:38Can you hear her, Eileen?
31:40She needs you.
31:41She needs her mother.
31:42What is this baby doing here?
31:48We can't get the bleeding to stop.
31:50It's too substantial.
31:51I'll call Mr. Parry.
31:52She needs her uterus packing.
31:54We have to get her to theater.
31:55You must have been terrified to run out of the house without even a handbag or your purse.
32:03I have no handbag and no purse, and I'm afraid now this is not a good place.
32:07But it is a safe place, but it is a safe place, and sometimes that's the only thing that matters.
32:10Although I grant you, it isn't the Ritz.
32:16Agatha, the wardress, the lady at the door, thought you might be expecting a baby if you were sent here by Ninata's house.
32:24Please, Agatha, will you let me examine you?
32:43I am your friend.
32:45All will be well.
32:54You didn't have to wait to receive the news.
32:58I wanted to.
33:04Rosalyn?
33:05Hello, Trixie.
33:07I was just coming back from kitchen duty at the men's shelter.
33:10Shall I make us some Horlicks?
33:12Yes.
33:12Please do.
33:22I'm sorry, Trixie.
33:23I just had to get her out of that house.
33:38I think it was very necessary.
33:39But you took sole responsibility in a situation which could have become extremely dangerous.
33:45It was already extremely dangerous.
33:48And it's even more so now.
33:50Agatha is expecting a baby.
33:53She said she was having periods.
33:56When I questioned her, there seems to have been nothing but light spotting for some time.
34:00And the fundal height suggests she's about three months.
34:05What if the Kovachers find out and try to get her back?
34:09It makes everything worse, doesn't it?
34:12Yes, it does.
34:16You're a good nurse, Rosalyn.
34:17And a good woman.
34:19But please don't make any more bold moves without speaking to someone more senior first.
34:24Lord, let me know mine end and the number of my days
34:31That I may be certified how long I have to live
34:37Behold, there has been my days as it were a spot long
34:44And my age is even as nothing in respect of thee
34:50You have a very rare blood type, Miss Hudson
34:53AB negative
34:55You've now had all the hospital had in store
34:57And we're awaiting supplies
34:59Does it have to be special blood?
35:02Can I just have the normal kind?
35:04They tried a substitute group overnight, honey
35:06But your body wasn't having it
35:08Sometimes a family member will have the same blood type
35:12If we test them, they might be able to donate immediately
35:14And solely for you
35:15I've got no family
35:17Come on now, no squabbling
35:24I never realised burying a time capsule would be such a feat of diplomacy
35:29I saw less complicated maps in Alamein
35:33I've just about squeezed them all in
35:35Have you room for one more?
35:38I've had a wee idea
35:39I don't reckon there's a single corner left
35:42Unless you take Regisole
35:45There's nothing going in there apart from fresh air and old soil
35:49Has he lost interest?
35:51No
35:51He's gone off the idea of burying his comics
35:55We'll send off a urine sample
35:59But you do seem to be about three months pregnant
36:02Don't make me go back to that house
36:05Nobody is making you go back to that house, sweetie
36:08No, but we are going to have to get you sleeping somewhere clean and comfortable
36:13And eating properly
36:14I eat for the baby, yes?
36:18For the baby and for yourself
36:20I want to do blood tests and weigh you
36:23I think you may be very malnourished
36:26That's no good for either of you
36:29Laszlo and Vera do not know there is a child
36:33And you're under no obligation to tell them
36:37But Laszlo is the father and Vera wants to be the mother
36:39If we move you here, to our maternity home
36:43We don't need to concern ourselves with what they want
36:46And with your permission, I am going to the police
36:50No, not police
36:51Laszlo and Vera say I will go to jail because I am illegal
36:55I have no papers
36:57You have no papers because they stole them from you
37:00Meanwhile, you've been tortured, imprisoned, starved and raped
37:09Agatha, you are not the one who's committed a crime
37:20Thank you, Mr. Parry
37:34Sister
37:39Eileen's pulse is becoming weak and thready
37:43We've just been told that national supplies of AB blood are extremely low
37:48There may be none available for days and she has no family we can ask
37:53Because I took time to get to know her, I can tell you she does have family
37:57She has an aunt whom I think I can find
38:01We do not have the time for you to go on a wild goose chase
38:05Sister
38:06I'm sticking my head above the parapet
38:09And if it helps our patient
38:15I'm not stopping you
38:18I will
38:22Thank you very much
38:24It was as expected
38:28The police, I am afraid to say, had no interest in the terrible sexual abuse Agatha suffered
38:34The officer called it a bit of he said, she said
38:38It's such a woeful dereliction of duty
38:42However, they were interested in the theft of Agatha's passport
38:47They're going round to the Kovaches this afternoon
38:50We're not hiring
39:05But the uniform could come in useful
39:09I'm not here for that
39:11I understand you have a niece called Eileen
39:14I have one
39:19She made it very clear she's going to go her own way in life
39:22I'm no longer interested in anything she has to say
39:25Eileen has had the baby and she is very, very sick
39:29I won't need it to why I'm high
39:35That's all
39:36I won't need it to be respectable
39:39You don't have to make amends with her
39:42You don't even have to see her
39:44She desperately needs a blood transfusion
39:47And there's a possibility you might be a match
39:50This is all rather novel
39:57I had hoped to surprise you
40:00And then realised if it wasn't advertised
40:03We wouldn't have anything to put in it
40:05So many of our mothers have brought little things along
40:09Just because of word of mouth
40:10Dozens of nappy pins, pink and blue
40:14And quite a few name bracelets from the maternity home
40:18During the war
40:19We used to write the baby's names on sticking plaster
40:23Taked across their back
40:25I don't think that sounds hygienic
40:27But all these souvenirs are lovely
40:29I had a prolapse cord with Claire
40:36She would have died if it hadn't been for Nenot's house
40:39Thank you
40:40That is just perfect
40:43Good afternoon, Mrs. Kovach
40:50I've come to collect Agatha's belongings
40:53Where is she?
40:55She's asked that we don't disclose her whereabouts
40:56The police have been here
40:58Raking through every cupboard, every drawer
41:01I imagine they were looking for her passport
41:03They found it
41:04It wasn't lost, it wasn't stolen
41:06Nor was it yours to withhold
41:08We need to know she's safe
41:10She's safe now, and she's receiving medical attention
41:14She's our flesh and blood
41:15She's not too clever in the head
41:17She needs our protection
41:19I beg to differ, as it happens
41:21And Agatha needs her clothes
41:24Now you can let me in, or I shall send for the police again
41:28The results of Ms. Hudson's art have come back
41:39AB negative
41:41We have a match
41:42We do
41:42And you did the right thing
41:44You need to keep your fluids up when you're donating blood
41:56The least I could do
42:00All I ever wanted was to see her thrive
42:03And that was what upset me
42:05When she was hell-bent on being an unmarried mother
42:07I work with these sort of girls
42:09And they don't lead an enviable life
42:12I think Eileen is going to lead a good life
42:15She loves her daughter as much as you love her
42:18I'll be off now
42:23Done all I can
42:25I'm not sure that's true
42:28You did very well with your main course, I must say
42:32Dr. Turner's keen to see you put some weight on
42:35This is the best food I have had in England
42:37Ristles and cabbage
42:39Oh, sweetie, you're breaking my heart
42:40And these clothes are breaking my heart a little, too
42:44But they're yours
42:47And you're entitled to them
42:49I don't want them
42:50These men of that house
42:51These men of him
42:52We can certainly arrange for them to be laundered
42:55Or burnt
42:56There's a cupboard at Nonata's house
43:01Full of lovely things
43:02Passed on from women and children
43:04For other women and children who might need them
43:07Take it out of the fire
43:09But not these
43:11This Bible came with me
43:13It stays on the journey
43:14I have a Bible that traveled around the world
43:17At home in Hungary
43:19The communists made us afraid to practice our religion
43:21I thought when I came here
43:24I could go to church and pray where there were statues
43:28I was wrong
43:30I have not been in the church since I came to this country
43:33This book was all I had
43:35At least it was something
43:39It was not enough
43:41Good evening
43:48Mr. and Mrs. Kovach
43:50I'm about to close the surgery for the evening
43:53But may I be of assistance?
43:55We are looking for my young relative
43:56Ogata Bolasho
43:57We are very concerned about her
43:59We were told she needed medical assistance
44:02There is nobody of that name registered with this practice
44:05And the only patients on the premises are our maternity cases
44:09A nurse from this practice has been to our home
44:14Ms. Higgins, when does the rag and bone man come?
44:17Agatha says she doesn't want to keep any of us
44:18Agatha!
44:20Agatha, where are you?
44:21Call the police!
44:26Don't you dare trespass on a hospital premises in this way
44:29Get out! Get out now!
44:30Are you here because you're having a baby?
44:32She is here because she was starving
44:34And brutalized and required nursing
44:36Anything else is none of your business
44:38Have you been telling your stories again?
44:40She's not well
44:41You see, nurse, in the head
44:43She needs to come home
44:44Don't you, Agatha?
44:46You can't take care of a baby, Agatha
44:48If you come home, we can look after you and the child
44:53You can look after me again
44:55And we can all be happy together
44:57Like we used to be
44:59We were never happy together
45:00I was never happy at all
45:02We gave you a home
45:03Without us, you are nothing
45:05That is enough
45:07Agatha is a human being
45:09You stole her freedom for long enough
45:12But you aren't going to erase her
45:13And I am telling you to go
45:19Because I am someone
45:21I can choose
45:24I can speak
45:25Do you hear me?
45:35Oh, you look as though you've had a long day
45:37The terrible way people can treat each other
45:42It still surprises me
45:45Even after all this time
45:47Some things are always difficult
45:49What's all this?
45:54Teddy wanted a photo of Petula for the time capsule
45:56I knew we had one from Easter
45:59As I was looking
46:00I came across this
46:03This time between Christopher's chemotherapy sessions
46:09Has felt so precious
46:10It's all precious, isn't it?
46:14Every second we get to spend with him
46:17Well, someone certainly looks brighter
46:24They said it had the proper blood
46:26Where'd you get it from?
46:29I asked your aunt to donate
46:31If her group proved to be the same as yours
46:33And it was
46:35And she agreed
46:36Would you like to see her?
46:39Would she come after all the things we said?
46:47Is that her?
46:55A little girl?
46:56And is that you?
46:58She's been right beside her all day
47:00The little girl needs her family
47:02Just like me and you, love
47:04I should never have said the things I said
47:07I should have backed down
47:08And so should I
47:10But I am not your mother
47:13And I never have been
47:15No
47:15You are everyone
47:18You've been my mum
47:20My dad
47:21My aunt
47:23And my best friend
47:25That's tough girls
47:31We don't let them see us cry
47:33But we do
47:35Don't let this one be scared to feel her feelings
47:45Thank you nurse
47:59Laszlo and Vera
48:04Can't hurt you anymore Agatha
48:06They have no power over you
48:08And the police have charged them with false imprisonment
48:10Then they are the ones who will be in jail
48:14It is very likely
48:15As your social worker
48:17I'd help to guide you through the court case
48:18Where am I to live so that they will not find me?
48:23There is quite a large Hungarian community
48:25In Stoke-on-Trent
48:26And I've found a mother and baby home there
48:29That you might like to consider
48:30Once all your papers are in order
48:32We might also be able to get you home to Hungary
48:36If that's what you decide
48:38I decide
48:40I am not ready to decide
48:44That's alright
48:45We're here to help you when you do
48:48I found you the most gorgeous coat
48:54Are you ready for our outing?
49:00It's nice of you to let the Nartus house use your spot
49:02What if I had changed my mind?
49:09It's too late to change your mind
49:11Mother Mary
49:33She has everything in my religion
49:36Thank you for letting me see her again
49:39I always think Mary was so brave
49:41Giving birth on a dirt floor
49:43With no one to help her
49:44A mother's love is often indivisible
49:47From a mother's courage
49:50Good morning, sister
49:59Early again
50:01I could set my watch by you
50:03You've done well this week, Nurse Highland
50:06It's certainly been interesting
50:08Which is what I wanted
50:10I spoke to Mr. Parry
50:12And asked if he'd be agreeable
50:13To you remaining with us here
50:16For a few more weeks
50:17He was
50:18I hope you'll consider it
50:21I'd be delighted to
50:22I'll do the staffing roster
50:25You set up the clinic tests
50:27Got to keep oil in that machine
50:29Goodness me!
50:32We had a brainwave!
50:33Careful, don't know stairs
50:35It's about the time capsule
50:36We think Christopher will love it
50:38Ooh!
50:39We're going to need lots and lots of paint
50:42My Huntley and Palmer's biscuit tin
50:48Should suffice for the capsule
50:51Whatever is amiss
50:56It's just
50:57This description
51:00One of the boys has written
51:02The silver arrow badge
51:06Is very special
51:07I got mine
51:09Building a campfire
51:11Our leaders are called
51:14Arkela and Baloo
51:16They are very, very old ladies
51:20So they will be dead
51:23In the year 2000
51:24When you open this
51:26But I don't want you to forget them
51:30So this is what they look like
51:33Well, as they have been so creative
51:45Perhaps we should be too
51:48And they will be too
52:18I did not expect to be so moved by this.
52:26Whatever happens to the Order in the future,
52:29we will have always been here.
52:32And perhaps that's all that matters.
52:40Do you like it, Mummy?
52:42Oh, it's perfect.
52:44In fact, I think we should make another one.
52:50May, would you like to send one to your mum in Hong Kong?
52:53I'm sure she'd love to see it.
52:59And what else are we hoping for in the year 2000?
53:04What about a magic oven that could cook a whole dinner in five minutes?
53:10Rocket boots!
53:11Flying calves!
53:12Mandate needles are for sticking in material, not people.
53:16Man, you have two hammers!
53:17código drivers!
53:19Man, you have one.
53:20Keep a test!
53:20I saved you a tulip.
53:48Do you still need help with your sermon?
53:50No.
54:08We promise our children that there is a future.
54:12That one day, there'll be others on the grass where they play now, looking back in wonder
54:18at the lives that went before.
54:24Every life contains some promise at the outset.
54:28At the outset, sometimes its potential is not reached.
54:34Sometimes it blossoms despite the wound and rain.
54:38We all carry seeds within us.
54:44If we're blessed, they bloom into courage, faith, hope, and the love that finds a way.
54:54Children see nothing of that, nor do they need to.
54:58It is enough that they are laughing, saying,
55:02this is who we were last week, yesterday, an hour ago.
55:08A child's past to a child is already ancient history, and their future feels as far off as the moon.
55:18That is as it ought to be.
55:22Let the present nourish us.
55:24Let us turn our faces to the sun.
55:28And even as the moment fades and falls away, let us vow we will remember it.
55:40A newborn baby is so incredibly vulnerable.
55:44We'll find him.
55:46We've got officers searching the area already.
55:48Are you asking me to go away with you for the weekend?
55:52Yes.
55:53Chemotherapy is one of the toughest things you could put a two-year-old through.
55:56He doesn't have time.
55:58He doesn't have time.
