TVTranscript
00:00Apparently, when I was christened, I screamed my head off the whole way through the service.
00:06I 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.
00:21It 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.
01:00Nurse Crane, before you get started, the roster may need recalibrating.
01:07Sir 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,
01:35vis-à-vis early discharge and the incorrect management of sutures.
01:40I will tell Sister Marcus to expect you.
01:49Oh, isn't he looking absolutely champion?
01:55He's getting so bonny.
01:57Oh, 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 have 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.
02:13Hello.
02:16Sister 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.
02:31But we have two ladies booked in for induction tomorrow.
02:35That at least we can prepare for.
02:38Our 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.
02:54Good morning.
02:56I'm here to see Mrs. Vera Kovac.
02:59Please do come in.
03:00Nice, Clifford.
03:04Pleasure to meet you.
03:06This is my husband, László.
03:09We 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.
03:18But 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.
03:31She's my treasure.
03:33I absolutely shall.
03:46I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name.
03:48Agata Bolasa, 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.
04:03My urine's not even been tested yet.
04:04We've brought your staff today, so we can only have one urine sample at a time.
04:08Well then, I'll test it myself.
04:10Come on, girls, who else is sick of waiting?
04:13Come on.
04:14Do it ourselves.
04:15Go.
04:20All 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.
04:32Now, I know you've been waiting a long time, so I'm going to send for the tea trolley.
04:37How does that sound?
04:38It 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.
05:06This hand does seem a little stiff still.
05:12I'll refer you back to the physiotherapist.
05:16Mrs. Kovach, 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.
05:28It's showing signs of infection.
05:30We'll need to dress it every day.
05:38Well, pop onto the couch for me, Mrs. Hudson.
05:40Miss, but I'd generally just go by Eileen.
05:43You gave a good account of yourself out there, nurse.
05:48I was raised to take no nonsense.
05:50So was I.
05:51Number one rule in life.
05:52I was told, give as good as you get, and never back down.
05:55As 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?
06:02Well, I don't normally ask that.
06:05I'm on a budget, but I have been knitting.
06:08And have there been any changes since your last appointment?
06:13Yes, nurse.
06:15I, er, went to love just after I got here.
06:20Is this fresh blood?
06:25Yeah.
06:31I've just been in the stockroom,
06:33and none of those old papers has been cleared out.
06:36I found these old comics.
06:38They're great.
06:40Reggie, the whole point of a spring clean is to make space.
06:45They can't stay here.
06:47You'll have to think of something else.
06:50I shall arrange for Miss Hudson to have a soft tissue x-ray,
06:56and she must be admitted to the ward.
06:58You mean stay in?
07:00How long for?
07:01Well, let's see what the x-ray tells us,
07:03but we should assume for the remainder of repregnancy.
07:09There's something wrong with the baby, isn't there?
07:11Honey, let's now jump to conclusions.
07:14I can't stay in.
07:15I haven't got anything with me.
07:17Is there no-one who could pop in?
07:18With a nightdress and some toiletries.
07:20I'm doing this on my own, nurse.
07:24The hospital has guns.
07:25I'll make sure you're kitted out.
07:36Oh.
07:37I didn't mean to wake you.
07:39I found some of Nurse Clifford's favorite tulips on the market,
07:42and I wanted to give her a surprise.
07:44Young love was ever thus.
07:46I'm also hoping to ask her for help with a sermon.
07:49I've been asked to be a guest preacher at Centaur's Wells,
07:59and it's a different style to my own church.
08:03As a Pentecostalist,
08:05do you wait for the Holy Spirit to move you?
08:10Yes, usually.
08:11Oh.
08:14I have yearned for some Anglican clergy to do likewise.
08:19I 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,
08:32but it is the voice of the fresh, nascent faith that you should heed.
08:37Age has attenuated me.
08:42You are the wisest soul, I know.
08:45I'm going to leave you to get on with your rest.
08:48Rest is for the dissolute.
08:51I am merely closing my eyes in pursuit of mental clarity.
09:03Good morning.
09:04I 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
09:15so I can concentrate on our patients.
09:19I think of it as oiling the machine.
09:24Is there anything you could assign to me?
09:26I'm here to help.
09:28I aim to become a war sister too one day.
09:31I'm glad you used the word one day.
09:34I've been here 15 years and I was passed over for promotion four times.
09:40What made the difference in the end?
09:43Being exceptionally good at my job.
09:46I'm persevering.
09:48If you want to succeed, Nurse Highland,
09:50you 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.
10:05And I will try.
10:07I'm trying already.
10:09I know.
10:10But make no mistake.
10:13They are looking for reasons not to promote women like us.
10:17Whatever else you do,
10:21do not stick your head above the parapet.
10:26Say ouch if I hurt you.
10:29Burns can be very painful.
10:31No, you have a very gentle touch, Nurse.
10:34Well, one way and another I change a lot of dressings.
10:38And I handle a lot of babies.
10:42Watching a child come into the world must be a most magical thing.
10:46I hoped for so long to have my own child.
10:56But life is sweet in so many other ways.
11:00Soft tissue x-ray of the uterus reveals great free placenta previa,
11:06with the placenta lying completely over the os when closed,
11:10and up to three fingers dilation.
11:12Is that bad?
11:14It's not optimal.
11:16And due to the risk of hemorrhage,
11:18will perform a caesarean section as soon as you reach 38 weeks.
11:22Bed rest in the meantime, and I will see you daily.
11:28The caesarean section?
11:30They cut you open.
11:31It takes months to recover.
11:32I can't have that, Nurse.
11:33I know it's not what you want.
11:35But you're in the best place.
11:37Mr. Parr is going to look after you, and so am I.
11:46Agata?
11:57Agata?
11:57Agata?
11:59Why were you eating from the bin?
12:00I was not eating.
12:03You are mistaken.
12:04I have a tea cake in my bag.
12:07Would you like it?
12:09Yeah.
12:11I thought I might fancy a snack.
12:13I'm not hungry.
12:20Agata, have you hurt your arm?
12:22No, 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!
12:46Why not?
12:50Agata, I want you!
12:52Because I do not leave this house.
13:00I have your iron pills, Nurse Hudson.
13:02Twice a day on Mr. Parry's orders.
13:04He certainly gives plenty of them.
13:06I hate using bedpans.
13:07I can't get any sleep.
13:09In this hospital night, he's rubbing my neck red raw.
13:12I'm sorry.
13:27My auntie Maura 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
13:42about bringing up a baby on me own
13:44and now I'm just lying here thinking about it.
13:48I'm terrified.
13:52Who's auntie Maura?
13:54Will she be on home to her?
13:55She 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.
14:14I understand how it works.
14:15Do you understand how it can not work?
14:20You were each other's everything.
14:23Then you grew up and wanted more.
14:30I'd only got half of what I hoped for.
14:33A baby.
14:34No wedding ring.
14:35She wanted me to go away to have it
14:38and then give it up.
14:41I said no.
14:42You were entitled to say no.
14:45She called me a tart.
14:47I wouldn't mind.
14:49Only she works at a club called Ostrichocogo.
14:52I have strippers.
14:57She swore she'd never speak to me again.
15:00And we'd have to have that.
15:09Hello, Christopher.
15:12Did you all have a lovely time together?
15:18We're watching Blue Peter.
15:22And when Blue Peter in 29 years' time comes out here,
15:25they'll be able to dig up this box
15:27and see exactly what we were like
15:28and what we were doing here today.
15:30A time capsule.
15:32We should make our own.
15:34Mum, do you have any spare time capsules we could use?
15:38We could bury them in the garden.
15:43Oh, 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.
15:55I'm busy.
15:58Bring what?
16:00You're making it home capsule.
16:01I 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.
16:12I have nothing under her surname,
16:14and she's not registered at the Kovach's address.
16:18Without an address, I can't locate her local hospital number.
16:22She may not have one, but she needs medical attention, Miss Higgins.
16:27Can we register her with this practice and arrange a home visit?
16:31I can set her up as a temporary patient, using the Kovach's address.
16:37But if her relatives are mistreating her, as you describe, you may need to think carefully before you intervene,
16:45lest it render her situation even worse.
16:46I don't think it could be much worse.
16:50Sister, Eileen Hudson's blood pressure seems a little high.
16:55What's the reading?
16:571.30 over 90.
16:59I believe anxiety is to blame.
17:01She's distressed about her family situation, and worried about bringing up her child alone.
17:06It's good to take note of these things.
17:09But this is a very busy world, and we have to focus on the medical issues.
17:14We always have time for a few kind words, but we don't have time for emotional involvement.
17:25What did you do that for?
17:26A file that will go absolutely spare.
17:28Reginald Jackson.
17:30I need a tin for my tongue capsule.
17:36Well, that is all well and good, but did it have to be my button tin?
17:42You said we needed to make more space.
17:46I don't think I've ever known dinner to be so quiet.
17:53They're writing lists of things to put into their time capsule.
17:57They're making more just like on Blue Peter.
17:59It's captured their imagination ever so much.
18:02Daddy, do you think there will be doctors in year 2000?
18:06Of course there will, but they'll be robots, and they'll use rocket launchers to fight
18:12to 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.
18:21Why?
18:22Well, because people often keep quiet about what's bothering them.
18:27You need human ears to hear that.
18:29they'll be all you can enhance us.
18:34OK, then I sleep.
18:39All right.
18:42Poplar, seven-nine-eight-two.
18:44Who's speaking, please?
18:45You all well?
18:46Hop December
18:47Eileen? Is that you? Well, if it is, there is nothing I've got to say to you.
19:00Goodness, you'll be in Australia if you carry on like that. Are you by any chance doing a Blue Peter time capsule? What are you going to bury?
19:22I'm putting comics in.
19:25People will always want funny things to read. You can do one with a Bible.
19:31I suppose I could. It wouldn't be very original though. Or have many jokes in.
19:43This feels lovely. Is it a hospital one? I found it at Nata's house. It's been freshly laundered.
19:50Did you have some breakfast this morning? They brought it around ever so early.
19:54I can't say I blame you. I'll find you a couple of rounds of toast.
19:59Did I hear the word toast? None for you, I'm afraid. You're having operation this afternoon.
20:05Why? Has something else gone wrong?
20:09Mr. Perry's unhappy with your blood pressure.
20:12Mr. Perry is not here. I know. I saw them leave for their midday walk. I've come to dress the burn on your arm.
20:23Mr. Perry must not know. It will make her angry.
20:27You not receiving the care you need makes me angry, Agatha. But also, if you can tell me how this happened, it might help us to decide what we should do.
20:34Mr. Perry threw the water at me from the kettle.
20:39She hurt me. She hurt me. She hurt me. She hurt me. She hurt me all the time.
20:46One minute I'm scared. The next I'm excited.
20:53Let's go with excited. Let's go with excited. I'll be right in the room with Yanni.
21:00Agatha, can you tell me why Vera would do this to you?
21:01Agatha, can you tell me why Vera would do this to you?
21:02She hurt me. She hurt me. She hurt me all the time.
21:07She hurt me all the time.
21:09One minute I'm scared. The next I'm excited.
21:12Let's go with excited. I'll be right in the room with Yanni.
21:17Agatha, can you tell me why Vera would do this to you?
21:28She wants me to have a baby. Why does she want you to have a baby?
21:35Not for me, for her. She cannot, so I must. When I bleed, she hits me.
21:45So you aren't pregnant now? I wish yes, so he will stop. But I think no. So he keeps on.
21:57He? Who is he?
22:01Pass law.
22:04They say I belong to them. That all is permitted.
22:08None of this is permitted. This is rape.
22:13Have you ever tried to run away?
22:16I have no papers. They took my passport and I 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 that.
22:46Go into the tractor, please.
22:48There we go. Time, please.
23:03Baby girl, time please.
23:12Two minutes past two.
23:28Perfect.
23:29And now we turn our attention to the delivery of our erstwhile adversary, the Prusetta.
23:36Ogometrian, if you'd be so kind.
23:49Agatha needs every kind of help, Cyril.
23:51I can put her on the Ninartas books as an antenatal patient.
23:54But we have to find her somewhere safe to live now.
23:57Before she is injured again, before she is raped again, and before she actually gets pregnant.
24:02Rosalind, you have to slow down.
24:04I'll open a file on her straight away, but 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, but 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, but 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 Elbert.
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 jumbled 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.
26:27Her BP has stabilised and her 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.
27:01Thank you, Neil, but I think we may struggle to get a car into a biscuit tin.
27:07What we thought was that we'd include a selection of Cub Scout badges
27:12and each of you can write a letter about one of the badges
27:17and what you did to earn it.
27:20Hands up who thinks that's a good idea.
27:22Thank you, Andrew.
27:25Your hand went up first, so you get first pick of the badges.
27:29Now, are there any questions?
27:34My teeth just come out.
27:35Can I put that in?
27:36Can I put that in?
27:38I cannot put that in.
27:40Yes!
27:41How much longer will you feel?
27:44She's young.
27:46And she's healthy.
27:48She's not like me.
27:49She should have conceived by now.
27:52It will happen soon.
27:54I will make sure of it.
28:08Where are you going with those?
28:10Don't start to soak them.
28:12Do that.
28:13And then come to me.
28:19Agatha, come to me.
28:36Agatha, come to me.
28:41Eileen, I was just coming to do your observation.
28:49I didn't know you were awake.
28:51Are you in a lot of pain?
28:53I don't know where my baby is.
28:54I thought we'd be in a coma.
28:56I could see him not woke up now.
28:58Didn't they get her out?
29:01Honey, you've just had an operation, so you're not thinking straight just yet.
29:06You have a beautiful little girl, and she's up in the nursery giving you some peace and quiet.
29:12A girl.
29:13I need to see the nursery, honey, baby.
29:14After I've checked you over, I'm going up to the nursery, and I'll bring her down the
29:15bassinet.
29:16Only for five minutes, mind.
29:17I just need to see that she's real.
29:19We are full, but we will always find a corner somewhere if you're under Nanata's house.
29:26This whole stall's not so bad, you know, love.
29:27I wouldn't usually ask to speak with you so late at night, but I find I'm unable to take
29:33my sisters into my confidence as much as I would like.
29:57They know some things, but not all.
30:00I understand. But since Easter, when the board gave us their ultimatum...
30:05Since Lent, when I told them I would make a decision at the time of our choosing.
30:10Well, I've been talking to the Lady Emily about how they're financed. And it's extremely interesting.
30:16Why have you been talking to the Lady Emily? That clinic is run for the benefit of the rich, not the needy.
30:21Our mission lies with the poor.
30:30Nonata's house, Sister Julian. I'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. Excited as anything to meet her mummy.
30:52Eileen!
30:57Uncle.
31:01I need help. We have a postpartum hemorrhage.
31:16I need help. We have a major postpartum hemorrhage.
31:21I'm sure.
31:24Please follow nesse bundles.
31:25Please follow me on Twitter.
31:27You've got a little girl who needs you, Eileen.
31:38Can you hear little Eileen?
31:40She needs you.
31:41She needs her mother.
31:46What 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 a uterus packing.
31:53We have to get her to theater.
31:57You 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, and sometimes that's the only thing that matters.
32:11Although 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.
32:24No, I think no.
32:28I don't want a baby.
32:29I don't want anything.
32:36Please, Agatha.
32:38Will 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.
32:59I 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, yes.
33:14Please do.
33:22I'm sorry, Trixie.
33:23I just had to get her out of that house.
33:25I think it was very necessary.
33:40But 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.
33:52She said she was having periods.
33:56When I questioned her, there seems to have been nothing but light spotting for some time.
34:01And the fundal height suggests she's about three months.
34:04What if the Kovachers find out and try to get her back?
34:10It makes everything worse, doesn't it?
34:13Yes, it does.
34:16You're a good nurse, Rosalyn.
34:18And a good woman.
34:18But 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, thou hast been my days as it were a span long
34:44And my age is even as nothing in respect of thee
34:50You have a very rare blood type, Miss Hudson
34:54AB 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?
35:05They 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 capture 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 Reggie's hole
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
36:09But 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
36:24I think you may be very malnourished
36:27That's no good for either of you
36:29Laszlo and Vera do not know there is a child
36:34And you are 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
37:16Thank you, Mr. Parry
37:34Sister, Eileen'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, I'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
38:30Had no interest in the terrible sexual abuse Agatha suffered
38:34The officer called it a bit of he said, she said
38:38Such a woeful dereliction of duty
38:42However, they were interested in the theft of Agatha's passport
38:47They're going round to the Kovach's this afternoon
38:50We're not hiring
39:06Like 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
39:26Eileen has had the baby and she is very, very sick
39:29I want her to weigh him high
39:35That's all
39:36I want her 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
40:23Taped 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 Nanata'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
40:57The 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
41:12And 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
41:27Or I shall send for the police again
41:29The result of Miss Hudson's art have come back
41:39A, B, 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 done eating 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
42:09When 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
42:22Done 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
42:37Wristles 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
42:50They smell of that house
42:51They smell 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 travelled 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 a 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. Kovac
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
43:56Agatha Bollasho
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
44:06And 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!
44:30Get out now!
44:30Are you here because you're having a baby?
44:33She is here because she was starving and brutalised 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
44:45Don'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
45:10You 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?
45:26Oh, 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?
45:53Teddy 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?
46:13Every second we get to spend with them
46:17Well
46:22Someone 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?
46:41Is 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
47:40Thank you nurse
48:00Laszlo and Vera
48:04Vera can't hurt you anymore
48:05Agatha
48:06They have no power over you
48:08And the police have charged them
48:09With false imprisonment
48:11Then they are the ones
48:13Who will be in jail
48:14It is very likely
48:15As your social worker
48:17I'd help to guide you
48:18Through the court case
48:19Where am I to live
48:21So that they will not find me
48:22There is quite a large Hungarian community
48:25In Stoke-on-Trent
48:27And I 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?
48:42I am not ready to decide
48:44That's all right
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 nightless house use your spot
49:03What 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
49:42Giving birth on a dirt floor
49:43With no one to help her
49:45A 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
50:14To 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 cleaning tests
50:27You've got to keep boiling that machine
50:29Goodness me!
50:32He had a brainwave
50:33Careful down those stairs
50:35It's about the time capsule
50:36We think Christopher will love it
50:38Oh!
50:40We'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
51:10Building 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
51:48Because you don't know
52:06Well, that's all
52:07Is that everything
52:11How do you not
52:12I try to neighbours
52:12I'm not sure
52:13I'm not sure
52:14I'm just sure
52:14I 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?
52:41Oh, it's perfect.
52:46In 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 cars!
53:12Mandate needles for sticking in material, not people!
53:16Two cameras!
53:17These dollars!
53:19They're so excited!
53:19I saved you a tulip.
53:47Do you still need help with your sermon?
53:51No.
54:09We promise our children that there is a future.
54:13That one day, there'll be others on the grass where they play now.
54:17Looking back in wonder at the lives that went before.
54:21Every life contains some promise at the outset.
54:29Sometimes its potential is not reached.
54:33Sometimes it blossoms despite the wound and rain.
54:39We all carry seeds within us.
54:43If we're blessed, they bloom into courage.
54:47Faith, hope, and the love that finds a way.
54:53Children see nothing of that, nor do they need to.
54:59It is enough that they are laughing, saying,
55:03This is who we were last week, yesterday, an hour ago.
55:09A child's past to a child is already ancient history.
55:15And their future feels as far off as the moon.
55:19That is as it ought to be.
55:22Let the present nourish us.
55:25Let us turn our faces to the sun.
55:28And even as the moment fades and falls away,
55:32Let us vow we will remember it.
55:36A newborn baby is so incredibly vulnerable.
55:43We'll find him.
55:46We've got officers searching the area already.
55:49Are you asking me to go away with you for the weekend?
55:52Yes.
55:53Chemotherapy is one of the toughest things
55:55you could put a two year old through.
55:57He doesn't have time.
