00:00That was quite a tomboy.
00:10Are you all right?
00:11Don't worry, Sister Veronica. We can sort this out, can't we, Deborah?
00:15We've got the first aid tin and the sweetie tin.
00:19And they both make you better, don't they?
00:21So, which one are we going to open first?
00:24That one.
00:25I thought you might say that.
00:26Well, I wish the dinner ladies at my school
00:30had had medicine like that, Mrs. Robbins.
00:32I'll see you both when I'm next in school.
00:40Right. Off you go and play before the bell.
00:43Can you hear it?
00:57That's a good, strong baby's heartbeat.
01:00That's something to tell your friends of I, isn't it?
01:02The next time you come,
01:05there should be a little brother or sister here to meet you.
01:07They're getting closer together.
01:14We'd better leave you to it, then.
01:17What about Kenny, love?
01:19Shall I tell him you're here?
01:22He's probably got the right to know.
01:25All right.
01:26Yeah, just so you'll let him know when the baby's been born.
01:29All right, darling.
01:31Come on, you.
01:31Mmm.
01:33Come with Granny.
01:35Let's leave Mummy to him.
01:37Shall we get you something to him?
01:39Me and Kenny separated a few months ago.
01:41I did notice there was no one down
01:43to be in the delivery room with you.
01:45Yeah, well, he's the last person I'd want, truth be told, nurse.
01:48He's taking the right arm
01:49because I'm moving out to Stevenage where my sister is.
01:53Better off by myself.
01:55Oh, I'm so sorry to hear it was another bad night.
01:58Poor little Christopher.
02:00The night nurse was piecing with him for hours.
02:02I hate to think of him being so distressed.
02:05Temotherapy must be making him feel terribly sick.
02:08But this cycle is almost over
02:10and he'll be back home with you and the children.
02:13They're certainly looking forward to it.
02:15I have another case at the hospital this morning.
02:18I'll pop in to see Christopher afterwards
02:20and let you know how he is.
02:21Oh, thank you, sister.
02:23Not at all, Mrs. Turner.
02:24That's it, good lass.
02:48You can tell you've done this before.
02:49Oh, that's the bit you try to forget about.
02:52I know, but the body doesn't forget.
02:58Hello, Pam?
03:00Oh, my God, that's Kenny.
03:01I really don't want him in here.
03:04Hello, Pam?
03:05Sorry, Mr. Shields.
03:15Fathers aren't allowed in the delivery room
03:17without the mother's express permission.
03:19I was there for the last one.
03:21That may be true, lad,
03:22but there have been some changes since then, haven't there?
03:26It's my baby too.
03:27Everyone just takes her side.
03:28It isn't about sides, Mr. Shields.
03:31This is a maternity home.
03:34We have to put the needs and wishes
03:36of the laboring mother first
03:37because that is what is best for baby.
03:51It's from my solicitor.
03:53He's received my decree, my sign.
03:55Oh, my goodness.
03:57So, does this mean...
03:59It means in six weeks and a day from today,
04:01I can apply for my decree absolute
04:03and I will officially be a single man,
04:06free to do anything I choose,
04:08even marry again if I want to.
04:11If you meet the right person.
04:12If I meet the right person.
04:19I suppose it must feel sad, too.
04:22I know it's not what you would have wanted
04:23or expected.
04:26You know, I thought it would be sad.
04:29I had a lot of hopes and dreams
04:30when I married Lucille
04:31and she was the one who wanted to divorce.
04:34But now it's actually happening.
04:37It's more like closing the book.
04:42I can think about the future.
04:43That's it, Pam.
05:03Push now.
05:04Good, strong one.
05:08Good lass.
05:09Keep pushing.
05:10The head is coming.
05:14Well, John.
05:16I have your baby's head in my hand.
05:19We're so very nearly there.
05:21I want you to give me one more.
05:23Just like the last one.
05:24You have a beautiful little boy,
05:32I'm born at exactly 22 and it's past two.
05:38Has he got ten fingers and ten toes?
05:41He certainly does.
05:45Perfect.
05:46Looking good, Fred.
06:03Hello, Edwin.
06:05Yeah.
06:06I take that as a compliment coming from a professional.
06:09Not anymore.
06:10I retired from the park last Thursday.
06:13Man of leisure now, mate.
06:14Good for you.
06:16You meeting Molly?
06:17Yeah.
06:17I thought I'd come down, surprise her.
06:20Take her for a strawberry miffy,
06:22seeing as the weather's so nice.
06:23Oh, you old romantic.
06:28Got to keep the magic alive, Fred.
06:30Young Master Colin Shields is ready for you now, Doctor.
06:44Well, hello, Colin.
06:46Aren't you the handsome lad?
06:48I am just going to do a little bit of checking and measuring for you.
06:52I did notice that his eyes are a little red.
06:55I wondered if there might be some infection present.
06:58Yes, they are a bit.
07:05I'll take a swab.
07:07Don't you worry, young man.
07:08We will find out what it is and get it cleared up in no time.
07:18You're awfully quiet, love.
07:21Mm-hmm.
07:22What's wrong?
07:24Is your back bothering you again?
07:26It's not just the back, Ed.
07:30The other thing happened again.
07:33The waterworks.
07:34It was awful.
07:36And what if it happened when I was serving the children or in the kitchen?
07:40I feel so dirty.
07:43If it carries on like this, I'm going to have to give up my job.
07:46Love, if you want to give up your job, you give up your job.
07:51But it ain't going to fix the problem.
07:53Only a doctor can do that.
07:56And you need to make an appointment.
07:58No.
07:58It's too embarrassing.
08:04Molly, love.
08:05You're getting more and more of these pains that summit ain't right.
08:11Don't fuss, Ed.
08:13It will pass.
08:15I'll ever not pass.
08:16I have to admit, I am concerned.
08:23Christopher gets upset so easily, and he's refusing to eat.
08:28And as you know, he is so very fragile.
08:33This chemotherapy is one of the toughest things you can put a two-year-old through.
08:37He seemed to cope so well with the last cycle.
08:40Do you think we need to speak to the consultant?
08:42He's decided to conduct a treatment review.
08:45And obviously, as Christopher's guardians in this country, he's asked for you both to attend.
08:54May I?
08:56I can bathe his eyes, and then I'll take him to the nursery so you can get some sleep.
09:00You've had a busy day.
09:03Thank you, sister.
09:04Yeah, I do feel shattered.
09:06I mean, I don't remember it being so bad the last time.
09:10I see he has a friend already.
09:12Oh, yeah.
09:13Well, that Teddy is Kenny all over.
09:15And all that fuss this morning, and he hasn't even been in to see Colin now he's actually here.
09:25Oh.
09:27Well done, little one.
09:30I'm sure he'll come tomorrow.
09:36Maybe.
09:39There's no way to live though, is it?
09:42Never knowing what's what.
09:43Would you like to come to a social work conference in York?
09:52What an offer.
09:55Well, not the conference itself, but it's on a Friday, and I thought that maybe if you could get the weekend off, we could...
10:02York is a city I've always wanted to see, and I would like to see it with you.
10:10Cyril.
10:12Are you asking me to go away with you for the weekend?
10:14Yes.
10:15Yes.
10:16I am.
10:17A whole weekend?
10:19In a hotel?
10:21Yes.
10:22Oh my goodness.
10:24If you don't want to, I understand.
10:26No, no, no.
10:28I would love to.
10:30I would love to.
10:32Night-night.
10:34Night-night.
10:36Night-night.
10:48Night-night.
10:52Night-night.
10:53Night-night.
10:54Night-night.
10:55Night-night.
10:56Night-night.
10:57Night-night.
10:58Night-night.
10:59Night-night.
11:00Night-night.
11:01Night-night.
11:02Night-night.
11:03Night-night.
11:04It was under your bed.
11:06Patrick, don't forget we're meeting with Christopher's consultant.
11:10PHONE RINGS
11:13Hello?
11:16Dr. Turner speaking.
11:18Yes, of course.
11:21But what's the patient's address?
11:26Morning, Miss Higgins.
11:27Good morning, Sister Catherine.
11:30Sounds like someone's ready for breakfast.
11:32How long have you been getting these paints?
11:45Oh, I don't know, Doctor.
11:46It comes and goes.
11:48But last night, it's like being stabbed or something.
11:51It's been at least since Christmas.
11:53Well, I suppose it has.
11:57I thought it was just 30 years of lifting pots of spuds.
12:02But it ain't, is it, Doctor?
12:05No, Mrs Robbins.
12:06I don't think it is.
12:07I could feel something inside that was harder than I would expect it to be.
12:13You mean a lump, don't you?
12:15It could be any number of things, Mrs Robbins.
12:18I know it's difficult, but please try not to jump to any conclusions.
12:23Tell me, do you have any other symptoms?
12:26For example, any urinary problems.
12:29Have you ever experienced incontinence?
12:31Yes.
12:35Mrs Shields?
12:40Is baby Colin with you?
12:45No, why?
12:46He isn't in the nursery.
12:48Mrs Shields!
12:54Mrs Shields!
13:07Where's my baby?
13:09Where's my baby?
13:10Where is he?
13:11Where is my baby?
13:12Oh, God!
13:13Where is he?
13:15I am going to give you an injection of pethidine.
13:27It will help with the pain.
13:29Thank you, Doctor.
13:30And I'm sending you to St Cuthbert for an abdominal x-ray.
13:34It will help us to understand what we're dealing with.
13:37And they should be able to see you quite quickly.
13:39Oh, that's good, isn't it, love?
13:42Do you think it's cancer, Doctor Turner?
13:47Just tell me if you do.
13:51I honestly don't know, Mrs Robbins.
13:54That's why it's important that we get you to the hospital.
14:05The notice house, midwife speaking.
14:07Oh, my goodness.
14:12Mrs Higgins.
14:13Of course, I'll be there right away.
14:16Her baby's gone missing from the maternity home.
14:24Miss Higgins, what's happened?
14:26There are two police cars outside.
14:28I checked on both babies at about ten to seven,
14:36just before I took the morning tea to the wards.
14:39You said the doors were locked?
14:41The external doors, yes.
14:43Double locked until Miss Higgins opens up for the day staff.
14:46And even then, you can't get in that back door without a key.
14:50Except, Sister Catherine, it'll be as you can.
14:53I was so close by, D.I. Holbrook.
14:56How could I have heard or seen nothing?
14:59I must have missed it by a few moments.
15:02And now, baby Colin, is gone.
15:05I am so, so sorry that this has happened, Mrs Shields.
15:11We will do everything we can to help find him.
15:16Mrs Shields?
15:21Let me help you.
15:23Sweet tea is good for shock.
15:27Oh!
15:29Oh.
15:31Oh, Mrs Shields.
15:36Dr Turner, D.I. John Holbrook.
15:38I'm in charge of the investigation.
15:39I expect you want to speak to me.
15:41If you wouldn't mind.
15:42Please.
15:44It seems that the back door has been forced this morning.
15:48Probably after Miss Higgins arrived and opened the bottom lock.
15:52I thought the building was secure.
15:55D.I. Holbrook, a newborn baby is so incredibly vulnerable.
16:00We'll find him.
16:01We've got officers searching the area already.
16:04I'll need to access some files of all the female patients
16:06who recently lost a baby or had to give one up.
16:09Well, you think a woman's responsible?
16:10It's usually the way with baby snatch cases.
16:13I've received the test results for the swab that we took from baby Colin's eyes.
16:17Anything significant?
16:19I'm afraid so.
16:20Colin's eye infection is caused by the chicken pox virus.
16:26That in itself is a serious condition for newborns, but when it infects the eyes like this, it has to be treated very quickly.
16:34That's easily done in a medical setting, but without treatment a baby can become blind.
16:40This mother must have it. She just doesn't have any symptoms yet.
16:45Well, we'll have to care for her at home to protect the other babies.
16:50I cannot overstate how serious this can be for a newborn.
16:55We'll put out an appeal across the board right away.
16:58We might have a few journalists hanging around, I'm afraid.
17:02Anything that helps is fine by me.
17:04Oh, no!
17:14Where's Lisa? I thought you'd bring her.
17:17She's with Kenny, love.
17:19What? No, no, everyone's trying to get a hold of Kenny. Where are they?
17:22I don't know. He took her early doors like you arranged.
17:27I didn't arrange her. I haven't even seen Kenny.
17:29Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Mum, it's him. It's him. It's Kenny. He's taken them both.
17:39It's the shells! It's the police!
17:48Check the other room.
17:49He's got nappies, bottle formula milk.
18:00He's cleared out.
18:04But why did he do it? His own children?
18:08Because he wants to punish his wife for leaving him.
18:10We believe that both children may be with the father, Mr Kenneth Shields.
18:17The younger of the two children, a day-old baby by the name of Colin,
18:22has a medical condition that requires urgent attention.
18:26We appeal to Mr Shields and to the...
18:30How are you, lass?
18:32Better, thank you.
18:34I will be ready for our evening offices and work in the morning.
18:43Cereal's asked me to go away with him for the weekend.
18:49Ah, good for the pasta. Where are you going, Laura?
18:53A social work conference in York, which I'm assured will be more romantic than it sounds.
19:03I think it's finally going to happen.
19:06What?
19:08It.
19:10You haven't?
19:12No.
19:14But you stayed the night with him.
19:15Cyril's very moral about still being married.
19:18Which is a good thing, obviously.
19:20But...
19:22We are only human.
19:24And we are going away for the weekend.
19:27And if I can get to the Brook Advisory Clinic this week, I could be on the pill by then.
19:33Look.
19:35They give it to you without being married.
19:37You don't even have to pretend to be engaged.
19:40Well then.
19:42Cheers to the social work conference in York.
19:49How are you doing?
19:51Try not to scratch the mouth.
19:53It's alright.
19:55It's just the post.
19:56What's the post?
20:09It's from Kenny.
20:10Mrs. Robbins?
20:24Oh, hello, Nurse Island.
20:26I didn't expect to see you here.
20:28You're usually at Nunata's house.
20:30It's only temporary.
20:32I've been seconded to work under Mr. Parry in Gynaecology.
20:35He has your x-rays now, so he's ready to see you.
20:38Oh. Right.
20:41Good luck, love.
20:43You can come too, Mr. Robbins.
20:46Hello.
20:53Oh, Patrick. Look at him.
20:57Dr. Turner.
20:59Mrs. Turner.
21:01Thank you for coming.
21:02The team from Great Ormond Street have just seen Christopher.
21:05This shouldn't take too long.
21:06What do you mean, Dr. Grant?
21:07I would have thought there was quite a lot to discuss.
21:10No, no.
21:11Don't worry, Mrs. Turner.
21:12We're not giving up on Christopher.
21:15But we are going to stop his treatment for a while.
21:18Christopher is too weak to continue for now.
21:20I want to say physiologically or psychologically, but it's both, isn't it?
21:28At least for the time being.
21:30The treatment is wearing him out.
21:33And at this age, it's going to affect him developmentally.
21:35This little boy is a long way from home.
21:42I've told you to stay indoors.
21:43I've told you to stay indoors.
21:44I've told you to stay indoors.
21:45I've told you to stay indoors.
22:10It's all right, mate.
22:11I'm here.
22:12It's all right.
22:13It's all right.
22:14It's all right.
22:15It's all right.
22:16It's all right, mate. I'm here. It's all right.
22:26It's all right.
22:31It's all right.
22:35Lisa, I said to stay in bed until I got back.
22:38You've got to be a big girl now and do what you're told.
22:41Mummy.
22:43But we're playing the game where we're hiding from Mummy, remember?
22:46And when the game's finished, we'll all be together again, then.
22:51Yeah?
22:53Mummy.
22:54You're all right?
22:55You're all right?
23:02I see the rash came out.
23:09I'm just a bit itchy.
23:11The worst bit is thinking about what the chicken pots could be doing to Colin.
23:17And Lisa ain't had it either, you know? What if they're both sick?
23:22I don't suppose you got much sleep.
23:25I feel like I didn't get any at all.
23:28I must have gone off for a bit because I was sure that I had...
23:31that I had a baby crying and Lisa's running in through the front door.
23:39I thought for this lovely minute that he brought them back, you know, that he proved his point, but...
23:44I have something that might help, Mrs. Shields.
23:51Dr. Turner has prescribed you a sedative.
23:55Oh.
23:58I wish I could do more.
24:00I wish I'd been able to stop him yesterday.
24:03But a few hours of sleep and some calamine lotion for the rash.
24:10I can give you that.
24:16Here you are, Mrs. Robbins.
24:18We'll get you all set up before your surgery in the morning.
24:20Thank you, nurse.
24:22Besides that tumour, right?
24:24Oh.
24:25Mr. Parry didn't say tumour, Moll.
24:28He said mass.
24:30That's true, Mrs. Robbins.
24:32We won't know what it is until it's been removed.
24:34Why don't you make a list of things your husband can bring from home?
24:37Oh.
24:38That's a good idea, love.
24:42Right, well, you want a toothbrush?
24:45Yeah.
24:48Slippers?
24:51It's been a long time since we had a night apart, girl.
24:54She's sleeping now.
25:22Oh, that's good.
25:24Thank you, sister.
25:29Hello?
25:31Hello?
25:33Kenny, listen to me.
25:36You've got to bring them back.
25:38The baby's not well.
25:39He needs a doctor.
25:40I've got the nurse here, if you don't believe me.
25:43It's one of the sisters.
25:45Now, she isn't going to lie, is she?
25:47Mr. Shields, this is Sister Catherine speaking from Nanata's house.
25:54Baby Colin has chicken pox and an infection in his eyes.
25:59It could...
26:00Was that Penny?
26:05I was so sure we'd done the right thing by bringing him here, but did we?
26:14If you hadn't, Christopher wouldn't have survived.
26:17I thought if we just gave him enough love and care...
26:20Your care has been exemplary, Mrs. Turner.
26:24And perhaps in time, Christopher could settle, but...
26:28He doesn't have time.
26:31The thing is, even if we could get Christopher to Hong Kong for this break in treatment,
26:37we have no idea what Esther's life is like at the moment.
26:41Or would she even be in a position to look after him and keep him safe from his father?
26:46Let me speak with Sister Julianne and arrange a long-distance call with Sister Hilda.
26:51And then we can find out what she knows.
27:02Um, Rosalind Clifford, I'm here for an appointment.
27:05We always do an internal examination at first appointment.
27:15Just to make sure that everything's healthy before prescribing.
27:19Yes, of course, Doctor, but it does make sense.
27:22Are you sexually active already, Miss Clifford?
27:24Er, no.
27:26Not as such.
27:27Not yet.
27:29But I want to be prepared.
27:31Gosh.
27:32Sounds like I'm in the girl guide.
27:34I think it's very sensible.
27:38You might find a little bleeding later, but that's completely normal.
27:43Everything seems absolutely in order.
28:04Hello, sweetheart.
28:13What's your name?
28:14They're going to take you through now, Mrs. Robbins.
28:34Doctor, how's the baby?
28:51Let the doctor through, please.
28:52Let the doctor through.
28:53A bit of good news at last.
28:54Yeah, it's a star doctor, but we have to get them both.
28:56Can you tell us just a few words?
28:58Retreat her?
28:59Now, there seems to be some calcification here.
29:08I'll just have to...
29:10Kelly's?
29:11Oh, my goodness.
29:19I certainly wasn't expecting you to see this.
29:21Erm, diathermy.
29:22Oh, dear.
29:43Chicken pox.
29:44Just came out this morning.
29:46She's got a bit of a temperature.
29:48Well, she's absolutely exhausted.
29:51But apart from that, there don't seem to be any physical effects, thank goodness.
29:57I'll pop back later.
29:58If you have any problems in the meantime, please call.
30:01Thank you, doctor.
30:08I don't think I'll ever be able to let her up for my sight again.
30:11Has she said anything about...
30:15Not just that Colin was crying and Daddy had a blue car.
30:19God knows where he got that from.
30:22Oh, my God.
30:23Oh, he left his own child alone in a strange place.
30:27I mean, anything could have happened.
30:30How can a man like that keep a sick baby safe?
30:33Sister, sister, sister, for our listeners.
30:39You're the last one.
30:39Sister over here, local radio, please.
30:42Just a few words.
30:43Sister.
30:44Excuse me.
30:45Sister, are you the midwife?
30:47Er, yes.
30:48Sister Catherine, Minata's house.
30:50What would you say to Kenny Shields, sister?
30:53I would just say...
30:55Please get Colin to a doctor.
30:57Every day without treatment puts him more at risk.
30:59Please eat.
31:11Everyone has their own key with their name on for the new lock.
31:14There are also now two large internal bolts on the back door,
31:18which must always be...
31:20Oh, Dr. Turner, this is yours.
31:22Thank you, Miss Higgins.
31:23Did you manage to type up my report on the missing baby for the Board of Health?
31:26It's ready for you to sign.
31:29I wanted to tell you right away.
31:31My call with Sister Hilda really was quite positive.
31:34Oh, what did she say?
31:35Esther Tang is well and has secured employment as a domestic with the British Army.
31:41Baby Beryl seems to be thriving.
31:43Oh, that is good news.
31:46It is.
31:47But there is news that may be even more significant.
31:50Christopher's father, the Cormorant, has been arrested.
31:53He's on trial for drug dealing and racketeering.
31:56Oh, my goodness.
31:57A conviction would mean a substantial time in prison.
32:02If he is convicted, if he isn't, he'll feel like he's invincible.
32:10He could be more cruel and ruthless than ever.
32:13Oh, how could we send Christopher back to that?
32:20Ah, Nurse Highland.
32:22Come and see what I've removed from Mrs. Robbins.
32:24I don't expect you'll ever come across another.
32:26Was it a truma?
32:28No.
32:30This came from Mrs. Robbins?
32:32Yes.
32:33It's called a lithopedian.
32:35From the Greek lithos meaning stone.
32:37Ampedian child.
32:39It means a stone baby.
32:40Yes.
32:42Look, you can see the limbs quite clearly.
32:45And there are even contours of facial features.
32:48An umbilical cord?
32:49Yes.
32:50It's incredibly rare.
32:52A fetus develops outside the uterus.
32:55Never viable, as you know.
32:57Usually, they die quite quickly and are absorbed back into the body.
33:01Yes.
33:01But here, the fetus has survived until it was too big to be reabsorbed.
33:05So the mother's body has calcified it to prevent sepsis.
33:09Effectively turning the fetus into stone.
33:12I'd say it was about four months gestation, wouldn't you?
33:14Yes.
33:15Mrs. Robbins must have carried it for more than 30 years.
33:31Renata's house.
33:32Midwife speaking.
33:33Hello.
33:34His eyes.
33:35He's got spots.
33:36I'm sorry.
33:37Sister Catherine isn't on duty.
33:40Would you hold on one moment, please?
33:42Yes.
33:45I'm not sure, but he mentioned the radi.
33:53I think it might be Kenny Shields.
33:57Hello.
33:58This is Sister Catherine speaking.
34:01Is that you, Mr Shields?
34:03I'll call the police.
34:05How can I help?
34:08Is Colin with you?
34:10Tell me about his eyes.
34:11They're all crusted up and sore.
34:15He's got spots and he's hot.
34:17He needs a doctor, Mr Shields.
34:20Are you near a hospital?
34:22I can't go to hospital.
34:24They'll take him off me and I won't see him again.
34:26I've already given up my little girl.
34:30I'm not a bad person, Sister.
34:32I love my kids.
34:37I only done it because she was going to take him away from me.
34:40She was cutting me out.
34:47I love this little fella.
34:49I'm sure you do, Mr Shields.
34:51So you have to put him first.
34:55Colin could become very sick indeed.
34:58He could even lose his sight.
35:01You can bring him here to Nanata's house
35:03or if you tell me where you are, I can send an ambulance.
35:06I'm not giving him up.
35:08Come on, Sister Mum.
35:09Money's going to run out.
35:10What else can I do?
35:11You can bathe the eyes with saline.
35:14You can keep him hydrated.
35:16You can make sure everything is really, really clean.
35:18But it won't cure it.
35:20He has to...
35:22Mr Shields.
35:24Kenny, please.
35:25We'll need a bit of rest and recuperation after all this, Mrs Robbins.
35:43But the symptoms will be gone.
35:45The pain and the incontinence were just the lithopedian pressing on the organs.
35:49It's so strange to think I was pregnant.
35:52I didn't even know.
35:54I mean, I was never pregnant.
35:57And I wanted to pee so much.
36:01Never even had a miscarriage.
36:05And all the time, there was a baby there.
36:10I can't help thinking about what it would have been like if it hadn't died.
36:17I think it's probably best not to dwell on that, Mrs Robbins.
36:21I'll see you again tomorrow.
36:26Oh, there you are, Barry.
36:27Oh.
36:27The lithopedian man.
36:29I have some students here.
36:31Is the monster available to view?
36:32Oh, yes.
36:32Yes, of course.
36:33Monster?
36:34It doesn't mean what you think.
36:38It's a medical term.
36:40It's outdated and they shouldn't be using it.
36:45Did you see it?
36:48Did you see my...
36:49Yes.
36:52What did it look like?
36:55Like a baby.
36:56That looks interesting, sister.
37:09It's just a simple congee rice porridge.
37:12I thought it might tempt Christopher to eat.
37:15Something familiar and easy to digest.
37:18I'll take it to him this evening.
37:22With your permission, of course.
37:24You have it.
37:25You have been a great friend and support to Christopher and his illness.
37:29No one could have done more.
37:30I feel I could have, sister.
37:33I'm the one with the language, with the knowledge of his culture.
37:37I feel there's so much more I could have done
37:40if I'd have spent more time with him.
37:42But you have had other duties, sister Veronica.
37:47Yes.
37:48Come on.
37:53Come on, mate.
37:56Come on.
37:59Come on.
38:03Oi.
38:04Oi, get away.
38:07Sorry.
38:08It's friendly.
38:11Come on, Rufus.
38:13Come on, Rufus.
38:14Come on.
38:14Yes, I will.
38:27Yes, goodbye.
38:27I've been speaking to Great Ormond Street.
38:33Christopher's chemotherapy medication is in powder form and is portable.
38:38It could be administered at the British Army Hospital in Hong Kong.
38:42Great Ormond Street would liaise with Major Bear.
38:44So if Christopher goes, he wouldn't come back.
38:49It's the best solution, Sheila.
38:56For Christopher.
38:57Yes.
38:58Yes.
38:58Yes, it is.
39:07Pam?
39:08Pam!
39:10Shh!
39:11Mum, Lisa's sleeping.
39:13There's been a sight in Epping Forest.
39:14Poor Mrs. Robbins was very distressed.
39:19I'm not surprised.
39:20It was disgraceful language to use.
39:22This whole thing seems such a cruel twist of fate when she wanted a baby so much.
39:27Her body clung to this one child for all these years to keep it safe because she could not bear
39:35to lose it.
39:38I'll freshen the pot.
39:53Child is born with a prejudiced mind
39:58He only learns what he sees or what is taught to him
40:03Think about your children
40:05Mother, help all mankind
40:09Don't let the weight of hate weigh the world down
40:15Here we are in this world together
40:30We were meant to live with each other
40:32Tell the child the truth, it's your own son
40:35And everybody know about freedom
40:38About the children
40:39Free, free
40:42Have, with, love
40:46Time will not burn
40:47That long way to go
40:51You ain't gotta get there fast
40:54It's a shame it ever had to be
40:57But we can change the past
40:59Think about your children
41:01Mother, save all mankind
41:04Don't let the weight of hate weigh the world down
41:08Where the world down
41:11I have something to tell you
41:13I have something to tell you
41:26And I've got something to tell you
41:28All right
41:29You go first
41:31I booked a hotel for York
41:33I hope you like it
41:34I know I will
41:35I'll be with you
41:37It's very central
41:39Near the Minster
41:40It has a lovely restaurant
41:42That does a dinner dance on Saturday night
41:44Well that sounds perfect
41:46I'm glad you think so
41:48And I've got the last two rooms
41:52With views of the river
41:53Two rooms
41:54What?
41:58Two rooms
42:00Cyril
42:01Sorry?
42:03I don't understand
42:04It's been more than a year
42:07And you're almost divorced
42:10And when you ask a woman
42:12Not a girl, Cyril
42:13An independent, modern woman
42:16Who loves you
42:17To go away for the weekend
42:19And then you book two rooms
42:22How do you think that's going to make her feel?
42:24I didn't want to assume
42:25Assume, Cyril
42:26Assume
42:28If you don't start assuming soon
42:30I think I'm going to blow up
42:32I'm a bit at sixes and sevens I'm afraid
43:02Sister Veronica
43:03I'm not surprised, Mrs Robbins
43:05You've had a very difficult time
43:07It's churned up a few old feelings for us, hasn't it, love?
43:13They called it a monster
43:15I don't care what they meant
43:18That's what they said
43:20But that was our baby
43:22The only one we'll ever have
43:23Yes, Mrs Robbins, it was
43:25And they took it away
43:27To look at it and talk about it
43:30And pass it round
43:31And Lord knows what
43:32And it's like it belongs
43:34To everyone else except us
43:36We don't even know where it is
43:40Oh, Mrs Robbins
43:41I don't like the sound of that at all
43:43I think I'm going to have to make
43:45Some telephone calls
43:46Midwife calling
44:05Another cup of tea, gents
44:13I'll get you one too, sister
44:17They're still searching in Epping Forest
44:20They could be there for days
44:22Kenny?
44:34Why did you have to go off and leave me?
44:39Why did you go do that?
44:41It wasn't supposed to turn out like this
44:43Kenny, where's Colin?
44:45We were so happy when Lisa was born, remember?
44:48Yes, Kenny, we were really happy
44:54Yeah, we were
44:58We had a lot of really good times
45:01I thought we were a happy little family
45:08Kenny, is Colin with you?
45:12Our little mate
45:19He's been with me longer than he ever was with you, hasn't he?
45:27Okay, is he alright?
45:33No, Pam
45:33I don't think he is
45:37What do you mean, Kenny?
45:39What's wrong with him?
45:42Mr. Shields, this is Sister Catherine
45:44Can you describe Colin's condition, please?
45:47Is he breathing?
45:50Yeah
45:51He doesn't cry anymore
45:53Mr. Shields, where are you?
46:04I heard the ice cream van
46:05Mr. Shields!
46:07It's King Street
46:08Mr. Shields, stay here, please
46:12Please
46:12I'm sorry, mate
46:26Mr. Shields, stay here, please
46:27I'm sorry, probably
46:28You don't know
46:28That's not true
46:31I'm sorry, because I can't believe it
46:33He's already
46:33I've been told
46:34I want to be
46:35I don't know
46:36He's already
46:36I want to be
46:37I'll be
46:37I want to be
46:39I want to be
46:39I want to be
46:40I want to be
46:41I want to be
46:42To the world
46:42The world
46:44Of the world
46:45I want to be
46:46Who wants to be
46:47I want to be
46:48I want to be
46:49He wants to be
46:50to be
46:52He wants to be
46:52So
46:53It's really
46:53I want to be
46:54No!
47:04No!
47:06No!
47:18The Lithopedian, the stone baby,
47:22has been preserved in the archives of King's College Medical School.
47:27Have they labelled it a monster?
47:30Absolutely not.
47:32Can we see it?
47:34Well, that isn't usually advised when the foetus has died, Mrs Robbins.
47:40It might be terribly upsetting.
47:42It's terribly upsetting anyway, Sister Veronica.
47:45Yes.
47:47Yes, it is.
47:49We'd like to go.
47:53Then I'm sure that can be arranged.
48:01District for Human Skifford.
48:03The hospital reports that baby Colin is out of danger.
48:07He has responded well to antibiotics.
48:09His hydration has returned to normal.
48:11And in the past few days, he's even managed to put on a little weight.
48:15Oh, that is good news.
48:17And his eyesight, will it be normal?
48:21I'm afraid it's too early to say.
48:23But his response to treatment has to be a good sign.
48:26And your role in his recovery, Sister, is something to be commended.
48:30I'm just relieved we're not looking at a charge of manslaughter.
48:35I felt touch and go for a bit there, if I'm honest with you.
48:38If we meet again, I hope it's in happier circumstances.
48:41It certainly won't be because another baby's gone missing from this place.
48:44I can promise you that.
48:47Shall we?
48:53You wanted to see me, Sister?
48:55Yes.
48:56I have had news from Sister Hilda.
48:58The cormorant has been convicted of drug dealing and racketeering
49:01and has been sentenced to a minimum of 25 years in prison.
49:05So Christopher will be safe?
49:07Yes.
49:09Patrick and I will make the arrangements for his travel back to Hong Kong.
49:14I see.
49:15Sister, we can't go with him.
49:18We have three children at home who are going to miss Christopher very much.
49:24Would you take him?
49:26I know you have a special bond.
49:28Do I have your permission, Sister Julianne?
49:33Not only do you have my permission, Sister Veronica,
49:36you have my blessing.
49:46It's just here.
49:58Quite a place.
49:59Whenever you're ready.
50:17Oh.
50:22I don't look like a monster to me.
50:25No, love.
50:29Me neither.
50:30No.
50:33We always knew that Christopher was only staying here for a little while,
50:49and if he can be in hospital near his mummy,
50:52we think he'll get better more quickly.
50:54That's the most important thing, isn't it?
50:57Mm-hmm.
51:00Me?
51:02When I'm older, can we go to Hong Kong to find him?
51:06Yes.
51:10Another ounce.
51:12Well done, Colin.
51:14And well done, Mum.
51:18Pam.
51:24Shall I call the police?
51:30No, it's all right.
51:48You're not supposed to be here.
51:50I know.
51:52I heard they bailed you.
51:56What are you doing?
51:58I never tried to stop you seeing them.
52:00I mean, I'm only going to bloody Stevenage.
52:02It's not the moon.
52:03I don't know.
52:06I thought that when Colin was born, it would make it all right again.
52:09I was only going to take him overnight to show you what it felt like.
52:12And the police.
52:16And the papers.
52:20I was scared, I suppose.
52:23It just got out of hand.
52:25For God's sake, Kenny.
52:27You really going, then?
52:31Yes.
52:33Kenny, I'm really going.
52:34I'm not going to stop you from seeing your children, Kenny.
52:53But for now, it's got to be with me.
52:55All right?
52:56And with a social worker.
53:12I've put your suitcase in the car, sister.
53:14Thank you, Dr. Turner.
53:17Goodbye.
53:20Goodbye, dear Christopher.
53:23And get well.
53:25We made you a book of pictures, so you'll remember us, Christopher.
53:29And this is one of Teddy's toy cars.
53:31Oh, yes.
53:32And Tim sent you this from Edinburgh.
53:35Oh, I'd rather like that.
53:40Bye-bye, Christopher.
53:42I'll see you when I'm big.
53:51Often, after loss, there is no full return of joy.
53:57Reunions can be bittersweet, haunted by the thought of what there was or might have been.
54:06And yet, there will be light.
54:09We will find other places for our love to go and settle.
54:14Like a bird alighting on a branch.
54:19We are not entrusted with everything forever.
54:23Sometimes all the love we have is not enough.
54:28Yet surrender can be another way of giving.
54:31Not merely loss, but a letting go and setting something free.
54:38The separation hurts us, even as it heals them.
54:44But what can we do?
54:45We can do this.
54:49We can open our hands, watch them fly from our protection, spread their wings and become a tiny speck against the sky.
55:03We cannot cry, nor do we need to, because we bear their fragile footprints on our hearts.
55:12Even children learn this in the end.
55:22In the end.
55:32Good afternoon, Miss Higgins.
55:33Master Timothy Turner.
55:35Or should that be Doctor?
55:37Did you hear?
55:38We're moving back to Poplar.
55:40What street?
55:41May I suggest we turn our attention to the matter of St. Raymond's feast day?
55:45I'm not sure she's any nearer to deciding.
55:47Whether to accept the new rules or close the Nata's house.
55:50You do have to wonder what it all bodes.
55:52What else?
55:53What else?
55:54What else?
55:56What else?
55:58We went to park the Nata's house as in the middle of the street,
56:00what else?
56:01We went to the front of the street and saw that
56:03a house was completely twisted.
56:04And we saw that the Thesis of the Nata's house as in the middle of the street.
56:05We found the city and saw that a little bit more red.
56:07But you want to see it.
56:08We won't be able to walk the first place out and we're now ready.
56:09Kira, so we can make the last house i opened up in the middle of the street,
56:11and we're going to walk the street.
56:12And then we're going to be able to get some頻織 in the middle of the street.
56:14But we can't mess.
56:15And we're going to take the city and somewhere.
56:16That's a little bit better.
