05:05I
05:05I
05:06I
05:06I
05:12I'll test it myself.
05:13Come on girls, who else is sick of waiting?
05:16Come on. Do it ourselves.
05:18Go.
05:25Alright ladies, stop what you're doing and take a seat.
05:29One more peep out to any of you and you'll go to the bottom of today's list.
05:35Now I know you've been waiting a long time, so I'm going to send for the tea trolley. How does
05:41that sound?
05:42Damn biscuits all around free of charge.
05:53It is so frustrating not to be able to do the small things.
05:57You start to feel like half a person and you worry other people see you like that too.
06:05Your husband certainly doesn't.
06:07He seems utterly devoted.
06:11This hand does seem a little stiff still.
06:14I'll refer you back to the physiotherapist.
06:18Mrs. Kovach, what's this?
06:22I lost my grip on a cup of tea.
06:26I couldn't really feel it at the time.
06:28That's possibly because of your condition.
06:31It's showing signs of infection.
06:33We'll need to dress it every day.
06:40Well pop onto the couch for me, Mrs. Hudson.
06:43Miss, but I'd generally just go by Eileen.
06:48You gave a good account of yourself out there, nurse.
06:51I was raised to take no nonsense.
06:52So was I. Number one rule in life.
06:55I was told give as good as you get and never back down.
06:58As long as you do it with a smile.
07:01Only three weeks until your due date.
07:03How are preparations going for baby's arrival?
07:06I don't normally ask that.
07:07I'm on a budget, but I have been knitting.
07:11And have there been any changes since your last appointment?
07:16Yes, nurse.
07:18I, er...
07:20Went to love.
07:22Just after I got here.
07:24Is this fresh blood?
07:28Yeah.
07:33I've just been in the stock room and none of those old papers has been cleared out.
07:39I found these old comics.
07:41They're great.
07:43Reggie.
07:44The whole point of a spring clean is to make space.
07:48They can't stay here.
07:50You'll have to think of something else.
07:55I shall arrange for Miss Hudson to have a soft tissue x-ray
07:58and she must be admitted to the ward.
08:01You mean stay in?
08:02How long for?
08:04Well, let's see what the x-ray tells us,
08:06but we should assume for the remainder of repregnancy.
08:12There's something wrong with the baby, isn't there?
08:14Honey.
08:15Let's not jump to conclusions.
08:17I can't stay in.
08:18I haven't got anything with me.
08:19Is there no one who could pop in
08:21with a nightdress and some toiletries?
08:23I'm doing this on my own, nurse.
08:26The hospital has gowns.
08:28I'll make sure you're kitted out.
08:40Oh, I didn't mean to wake you.
08:42I found some of Nurse Clifford's favorite tulips on the market
08:45and I wanted to give her a surprise.
08:47Young love was ever thus.
08:49I'm also hoping to ask her for help with a sermon.
08:57I've been asked to be a guest preacher at Centaur's Wells,
09:02and it's a different style to my own church.
09:06As a Pentecostalist, do you wait for the Holy Spirit to move you?
09:13Yes, usually.
09:14Oh.
09:17I have yearned for some Anglican clergy to do likewise.
09:22I have been given a text from Paul to start me off.
09:25For we walk by faith, not by sight.
09:29That is from the Corinthians.
09:32I would offer my assistance,
09:34but it is the voice of the fresh, nascent faith that you should heed.
09:41Age has attenuated me.
09:45You are the wisest soul, I know.
09:47I'm going to leave you to get on with your rest.
09:50Rest is for the dissolute.
09:54I am merely closing my eyes in pursuit of mental clarity.
10:06Good morning.
10:07I thought I was doing well being half an hour early.
10:11I have been here half an hour already.
10:14I always try to get ahead with rosters and notes before my shift begins,
10:18so I can concentrate on our patients.
10:21I think of it as oiling the machine.
10:26Is there anything you could assign to me?
10:29I am here to help.
10:31I aim to become a one sister to one day.
10:34I am glad you used the word one day.
10:37I have been here fifteen years and I was passed over for promotion four times.
10:43What made the difference in the end?
10:45Being exceptionally good at my job.
10:48I am persevering.
10:50If you want to succeed Nurse Highland, you will have to work harder than everyone else.
10:57Getting earlier than everyone else.
11:00And oil that machine better than anyone else.
11:04Can you do that?
11:07I can try.
11:08And I will try.
11:10I am trying already.
11:12I know.
11:13But make no mistake.
11:16They are looking for reasons not to promote women like us.
11:22Whatever else you do, do not stick your head above the parapet.
11:29Say ouch if I hurt you.
11:32Burns can be very painful.
11:34No, you have a very gentle touch, Nurse.
11:37Well, one way and another I change a lot of dressings.
11:40And I handle a lot of babies.
11:45Watching a child come into the world must be a most magical thing.
11:51I hoped for so long to have my own child.
11:59But life is sweet in so many other ways.
12:03Soft tissue x-ray of the uterus reveals great free placenta previa.
12:08With the placenta lying completely over the os when closed and up to three fingers dilation.
12:15Is that bad?
12:17It's not optimal.
12:20Due to the risk of hemorrhage.
12:21Will perform a caesarean section as soon as you reach 38 weeks.
12:25Bed rest in the meantime.
12:26And I will see you daily.
12:31A caesarean section?
12:33They cut you open.
12:34It takes months to recover.
12:35I can't have that, Nurse.
12:36I know it's not what you want.
12:38But you're in the best place.
12:40Mr. Parr is going to look after you and so am I.
12:51Agata?
13:00Agata?
13:00Agata?
13:01Why were you eating from the bin?
13:03I was not eating.
13:06You are mistaken.
13:07I have a tea cake in my bag.
13:10Would you like it?
13:13I thought I might fancy a snack.
13:16I'm not hungry.
13:23Agata, have you hurt your arm?
13:26No, it is nothing.
13:29Please, you must go now.
13:31I'm afraid I won't leave until you let me look at it.
13:40You have a burn that's turning septic.
13:42You must come to the doctor and get it treated.
13:46No, I cannot go to the doctor.
13:48Agata!
13:49Why not?
13:52Agata, I want you!
13:55Because I do not leave this house.
14:03I have your iron pills, Miss Hudson.
14:05Twice a day on Mr. Parry's orders.
14:07He certainly gives plenty of them.
14:09I hate using bedpans.
14:10I can't get any sleep.
14:12He's in this hospital all night.
14:13He's rubbing my neck red raw.
14:27I'm sorry.
14:30My Aunty Mora always said big girls don't cry.
14:33I'm scared girls cry.
14:36Tired ones too.
14:37You've had a tough couple of days.
14:42I was feeling all gung-ho and can-do about bringing up a baby on me own and now I'm
14:48just lying here thinking about it.
14:51I'm terrified.
14:55Who's Aunty Mora?
14:57Will she be on home to her?
15:02She brought me up after my mum passed away.
15:05Never had any children of her own.
15:08Didn't have a mother of my own.
15:11So you filled each other's gaps.
15:14I was raised by my grandmother.
15:17I understand how it works.
15:18Do you understand how it can not work?
15:23You were each other's everything.
15:26Then you grew up and wanted more.
15:32I'd only got half of what I hoped for.
15:35A baby.
15:37No wedding ring.
15:39She wanted me to go away to have it and then give it up.
15:43I said no.
15:45You were entitled to say no.
15:48She called me a tart.
15:50I wouldn't mind.
15:51Only she works at a club called Ostracogogo.
15:55They have strippers.
16:00She swore she'd never speak to me again.
16:05And we'd have to hear that.
16:11Hello, Christopher.
16:15Did y'all have a lovely time together?
16:21We're watching Blue Peter.
16:25When Blue Peter in 29 years time comes out here, they'll be able to dig up this box and see
16:30exactly what we were like and what we were doing here today.
16:33A time capsule.
16:35We should make our own.
16:36Mum, do you have any spare time capsules we could use?
16:41We could bury them in the garden.
16:46Oh, tell you what, Reg.
16:50Spring cleaning ain't for the faint-hearted.
16:53I reckon we've earned a shandy down at the Hand and Shears.
16:57I can't, Dad. I'm busy.
17:01Bring what?
17:03Making it home capsule.
17:07I saw Agatha eating out of the bin, Miss Higgins.
17:10And not only was that burn extremely infected, she says she's not allowed to leave the house.
17:15I have nothing under her surname, Balassa.
17:18And she's not registered at the Kovach's address.
17:22Without an address, I can't locate her local hospital number.
17:25She may not have one, but she needs medical attention, Miss Higgins.
17:30Can we register her with this practice and arrange a home visit?
17:35I can set her up as a temporary patient, using the Kovach's address.
17:41But if her relatives are mistreating her, as you describe,
17:45you may need to think carefully before you intervene, lest it render her situation even worse.
17:50I don't think it could be much worse.
17:54Sister, Eileen Hudson's blood pressure seems a little high.
17:58What's the reading?
17:591.30 over 90.
18:01I believe anxiety is to blame.
18:04She's distressed about her family situation, and worried about bringing up her child alone.
18:09It's good to take note of these things.
18:12But this is a very busy ward, and we have to focus on the medical issues.
18:17We always have time for a few kind words, but we don't have time for emotional involvement.
18:28What do you do with that for? A file that will go absolutely spare.
18:32Reginald Jackson!
18:35I need a tin for my...
18:38...tone capsule.
18:40Well, that is all well and good, but did it have to be my button tin?
18:46You said we needed to make more space.
18:53I don't think I've ever known dinner to be so quiet.
18:57They're writing lists of things to put into their time capsule.
19:00They're making more just like on Blue Peter.
19:03It's captured their imagination ever so much.
19:06Daddy, do you think there will be doctors in year 2000?
19:09Of course there will.
19:11But there'll be robots.
19:12And they'll use rocket launches to fly to their appointments.
19:16No they won't. They'll just beam themselves everywhere like they do in Star Trek.
19:21Well, I hope we'll still have some humans as doctors in the future.
19:24Why?
19:25Well, because people often keep quiet about what's bothering them.
19:30You need human ears to hear that.
19:46Poplar, 7982. Who's speaking please?
19:54Eileen, is that you?
19:58Well, if it is, there is nothing I've got to say to you.
20:16Goodness! You'll be in Australia if you carry on like that.
20:20Are you, by any chance, doing a Blue Peter time capsule?
20:23What are you going to bury?
20:25I'm putting comics in.
20:29People will always want funny things to read.
20:31You can do one with a Bible.
20:34I suppose I could.
20:36It wouldn't be very original though.
20:38Or have many jokes in.
20:46This feels lovely.
20:47Is it a hospital one?
20:48I found it at an artist's house.
20:50It's been freshly laundered.
20:53Did you have some breakfast this morning?
20:55They brought it around ever so early.
20:57Soggy corn flakes.
20:58I couldn't face it.
20:58I can't say I blame you.
21:00I'll find you a couple of rounds of toast.
21:02Did I hear the word toast?
21:04None for you, I'm afraid.
21:06You're having an operation this afternoon.
21:09Why?
21:10Has something else gone wrong?
21:12Mr. Perry's unhappy with your blood pressure.
21:32Mr. Perry is not here.
21:34I know.
21:35I saw them leave for their midday walk.
21:37I've come to dress the burn on your arm.
21:40Mr. Perry must not know.
21:41It will make her angry.
21:42You not receiving the care you need makes me angry, Agatha.
21:46But also, if you can tell me how this happened,
21:49it might help us to decide what we should do.
21:54Vera threw the water at me from the kettle.
22:05She hurt me.
22:07She hurt me all the time.
22:12One minute I'm scared, the next I'm excited.
22:16Let's go with excited.
22:18I'll be right in the room with Yanni.
22:26Agatha, can you tell me why Vera would do this to you?
22:33She wants me to have a baby.
22:36Why does she want you to have a baby?
22:39Not for me, for her.
22:41She cannot, so I must.
22:45When I bleed, she hits me.
22:49So you aren't pregnant now?
22:52I wish yes, so he will stop.
22:56But I think no.
22:59So he keeps on.
23:02He?
23:03Who is he?
23:05Haslaw.
23:09They say I belong to them.
23:10That all is permitted.
23:12None of this is permitted.
23:15This is rape.
23:17Have you ever tried to run away?
23:20I have no papers.
23:23They took my passport and...
23:26I have no money.
23:28Because they don't pay you?
23:32I could have you ever asked anyone for help.
23:36I think that I am asking that.
23:49Go into your tractor, please.
23:59BP rising.
24:12Baby girl.
24:14Time, please.
24:15Two minutes past two.
24:31Perfect.
24:32And now we turn our attention to the delivery of our erstwhile adversary, the Prusetta.
24:38Ogometrian, if you'd be so kind.
24:51Agatha needs every kind of help, Cyril.
24:54I can put her on the Ninartas books as an antenatal patient.
24:57But we have to find her somewhere safe to live now.
25:00Before she is injured again.
25:01Before she is raped again.
25:03And before she actually gets pregnant.
25:05Resilind, you have to slow down.
25:07I'll open a file on her straight away, but these things have to be done properly.
25:10Can you get her into the women's hostel tonight?
25:13It's full.
25:14It's been full for two weeks.
25:17I'm going to tell her to go there anyway.
25:33Agatha, I will be quick, but I need you to listen.
25:36Agatha!
25:37This is the address of a women's hostel.
25:40They will take you in and you will be safe.
25:47Sorry ladies, I just took a jug of lemon barley out to Reggie.
25:52He's been digging like a navvy all afternoon.
25:54Every child at the Knit Clinic was talking about time capsules.
25:59They're even doing one at John Tess School.
26:01The headmaster has contacts at the raw mint.
26:03And it's going to include samples of every current banknote.
26:07It's fascinating to try to think that far ahead.
26:10I'll be 55 in the year 2000.
26:13I was 55 in the general strike.
26:19During the abdication.
26:22My recollections fade.
26:24But it matters not to God.
26:27For whom a thousand years is but a day.
26:31I wonder how many babies will have been born in Poplar
26:35by the time they dig these capsules up.
26:38And who will be delivering them if Nunata's house isn't here anymore?
26:41That's an interesting assumption, Miss Edward.
26:44I suggest we refrain from speculation at present.
26:49Sister Veronica, would you like to lead us in the grace?
26:57Well, what's all this?
26:59Are we having a jumble sale?
27:00Daddy, it's for our time capsule.
27:02I've had to remove a sachet of Angel Delight and a box of chocolate fingers
27:06that somehow made their way into the capsule.
27:09We might be hungry in the year 2000.
27:12I think we should take a photo of us all together when we bury it.
27:16And one all together when we dig it up.
27:18We won't be together in the year 2000.
27:22Christopher won't be in England anymore, will he?
27:25That's right.
27:26As soon as he's better, he's going home to Mummy in Hong Kong.
27:33A BP has stabilised and a blood loss is normal.
27:37That can be the last of the 30-minute observations.
27:41Hourly checks from now on.
27:49But Lou and I have had an idea about something to put in the 13th Poplar time capsule.
27:54But what suggestions do you have, Pat?
27:58We should bury a car, because in the year 2000 it will all be spaceship.
28:04Yeah!
28:05Thank you, Neil, but I think we may struggle to get a car into a biscuit tin.
28:10What we thought was that we would include a selection of Cub Scout badges,
28:16and each of you can write a letter about one of the badges and what you did to earn it.
28:23Hands up who thinks that's a good idea.
28:27Thank you, Andrew.
28:28So, your hand went up first, so you get first pick of the badges.
28:32Now, are there any questions?
28:36My teeth just come out. Can I put that in?
28:39Can I put your mummy in?
28:41I cannot put that in!
28:42I cannot put that in!
28:45How much longer will it be?
28:47She's young.
28:49And she's healthy.
28:50She's not like me.
28:52She should have conceived by now.
28:55It will happen soon.
28:57I will make sure of it.
29:11Where are you going with those?
29:13Don't start to soak them.
29:15Do that.
29:17And then come to me.
29:37Agatha, come to me.
29:46Oh, Eileen.
29:49I was just coming to do your observations.
29:52I didn't know you were awake.
29:54Are you in a lot of pain?
29:55I don't know where my baby is.
29:57I thought we'd be in a coma.
29:59I didn't see a man woke up now.
30:03Didn't they get her out?
30:05Honey.
30:06You've just had an operation,
30:08so you're not thinking straight just yet.
30:10You have a beautiful little girl.
30:12And she's up in the nursery,
30:14giving you some peace and quiet.
30:16The girl.
30:19Ready to see you in the nursery.
30:22After I've checked you over,
30:23I'm going up to the nursery
30:25and I'll bring her down in a bassinet.
30:28Only for five minutes, mind.
30:30I just need to see that she's real.
30:38We are full, but we will always find a corner somewhere
30:41if you're under Ninata's house.
30:46This whole store's not so bad, you know, love.
30:52I wouldn't usually ask to speak with you so late at night,
30:55but I find I'm unable to take my sisters into my confidence
30:58as much as I would like.
31:00They know some things, but not all.
31:03I understand.
31:05But since Easter, when the board gave us their ultimatum?
31:08Since Lent, when I told them I would make a decision
31:11at the time of our choosing.
31:14Well, I've been talking to Lady Emily about how they're financed.
31:17And it's extremely interesting.
31:19Why have you been talking to the Lady Emily?
31:21That clinic is run for the benefit of the rich, not the needy.
31:24Our mission lies with the poor.
31:30PHONE RINGS
31:35Nonata's house, Mr. Julian.
31:37I'm afraid Nurse Clifford is not here.
31:41We do have another midwife on duty, who will come and see Agatha.
31:48Here she is.
31:50Excited as anything to meet her mummy.
31:55Eileen?
32:00Uncle.
32:01Uncle.
32:19I need help.
32:21We have a major postpartum hemorrhage.
32:32We've got a little girl who needs you, Eileen.
32:40We've got a little girl who needs you, Eileen.
32:41Can you hear her, Eileen?
32:43She needs you.
32:44She needs her mother.
32:49What is this baby doing here?
32:50We can't get the bleeding to stop.
32:52It's too substantial.
32:54I'll call Mr. Parry.
32:55She needs her uterus back in.
32:57We have to get her to theatre.
33:01You must have been terrified to run out of the house without even a handbag or your purse.
33:06I have no handbag and no purse, and I'm afraid now this is not a good place.
33:10But it is a safe place, and sometimes that's the only thing that matters.
33:13Although I grant you, it isn't the Ritz.
33:20Agatha, the wardress, the lady at the door, thought you might be expecting a baby if you were sent here
33:26by Ninata's house.
33:28No.
33:29I think no.
33:31I don't want a baby.
33:32I don't want anything.
33:39Please, Agatha.
33:41Will you let me examine you?
33:46I am your friend.
33:55All will be well.
33:57You didn't have to wait to receive the news.
34:01I wanted to.
34:06Rosalyn?
34:08Hello, Trixie.
34:09I was just coming back from kitchen duty at the men's shelter.
34:13Shall I make her some Horlicks?
34:15Yes.
34:17Please do.
34:24I'm sorry, Trixie.
34:26I just had to get her out of that house.
34:41I think it was very necessary.
34:43But you took sole responsibility in a situation which could have become extremely dangerous.
34:48It was already extremely dangerous.
34:51And it's even more so now.
34:53Agatha is expecting a baby.
34:56She said she was having periods.
34:59When I questioned her, there seems to have been nothing but light spotting for some time.
35:03And the Fundal Heights suggests she's about three months.
35:08What if the Kovachers find out and try to get her back?
35:13It makes everything worse, doesn't it?
35:15Yes, it does.
35:19You're a good nurse, Rosalyn.
35:20And a good woman.
35:22But please don't make any more bold moves without speaking to someone more senior first.
35:28Lord, let me know mine end and the number of my days
35:34That I may be certified how long I have to live
35:41Behold, thou hast been my days as it were a span long
35:47And my age is even as nothing in respect of thee
35:54You have a very rare blood type, Miss Hudson.
35:57AB negative.
35:58You've now had all the hospital had in store and were awaiting supplies.
36:03Does it have to be special blood?
36:05Can I just have the normal kind?
36:07They tried a substitute group overnight, honey.
36:10But your body wasn't having it.
36:12Sometimes a family member will have the same blood type.
36:15If we test them, they might be able to donate immediately and solely for you.
36:19I've got no family.
36:24Come on now, no squabbling.
36:28I never realised burying a time capture would be such a feat of diplomacy.
36:33I saw less complicated maps in Alamein.
36:36I've just about squeezed them all in.
36:39Have you room for one more?
36:41I've had a wee idea.
36:43I don't reckon there's a single corner left.
36:45Unless...
36:47You take Reggie's hole.
36:48There's nothing going in there apart from fresh air and old soil.
36:52Has he lost interest?
36:53No.
36:54He's gone off the idea of burying his comics.
37:00We'll send off a urine sample, but you do seem to be about three months pregnant.
37:07Don't make me go back to that house.
37:09Nobody is making you go back to that house, sweetie.
37:11No.
37:12But we are going to have to get you sleeping somewhere clean and comfortable.
37:16And eating properly.
37:18I eat for the baby, yes?
37:21For the baby, and for yourself.
37:24I want to do blood tests and weigh you.
37:27I think you may be very malnourished.
37:30That's no good for either of you.
37:33Laszlo and Vera do not know there is a child.
37:37And you're under no obligation to tell them.
37:40But Laszlo is the father and Vera wants to be the mother.
37:43If we move you here, to our maternity home,
37:46we don't need to concern ourselves with what they want.
37:50And with your permission, I am going to the police.
37:54No, not police.
37:55Laszlo, I'm going to say I will go to jail because I am illegal.
37:58I have no papers.
38:00You have no papers because they stole them from you.
38:05Meanwhile, you've been tortured, imprisoned, starved, and raped.
38:12Agatha, you are not the one who's committed a crime.
38:36Thank you, Mr. Parry.
38:42Sister, Eileen's pulse is becoming weak and thready.
38:46We've just been told that national supplies of AB blood are extremely low.
38:51There may be none available for days and she has no family we can ask.
38:56Because I took time to get to know her, I can tell you she does have family.
39:01She has an aunt whom I think I can find.
39:04We do not have the time for you to go on a wild goose chase.
39:08Sister, I'm sticking my head above the parapet.
39:16And if it helps our patient, I'm not stopping you.
39:24I will.
39:25Thank you very much.
39:29It was as expected?
39:31The police, I am afraid to say, had no interest in the terrible sexual abuse Agatha suffered.
39:37The officer called it a bit of he said, she said.
39:42It's such a woeful dereliction of duty.
39:46However, they were interested in the theft of Agatha's passport.
39:50They're going round to the Kovach's this afternoon.
40:08We're not hiring.
40:10Like the uniform could come in useful.
40:12I'm not here for that.
40:15I understand you have a niece called Eileen.
40:21I have one.
40:22She made it very clear she's going to go her own way in life.
40:26I'm no longer interested in anything she has to say.
40:29Eileen has had the baby and she is very, very sick.
40:36I want her to weigh him high.
40:38That's all.
40:40I want her to be respectable.
40:43You don't have to make amends with her.
40:46You don't even have to see her.
40:48She desperately needs a blood transfusion and there's a possibility you might be a match.
40:59This is all rather novel.
41:01I had hoped to surprise you and then realised if it wasn't advertised we wouldn't have anything to put in
41:07it.
41:08So many of our mothers have brought little things along just because of word of mouth.
41:14Dozens of nappy pins, pink and blue.
41:18And quite a few name bracelets from the maternity home.
41:21During the war, we used to write the baby's names on sticking plaster taped across their back.
41:28I don't think that sounds hygienic.
41:30But all these souvenirs are lovely.
41:37I had a prolapsed cord with Claire.
41:39She would have died if it hadn't been for Nanot's house.
41:44That is just perfect.
41:51Good afternoon, Mrs. Kovach. I've come to collect Agatha's belongings.
41:56Where is she?
41:57She's asked that we don't disclose her whereabouts.
42:00The police have been here. Raking through every cupboard, every drawer.
42:04I imagine they were looking for her passport.
42:06They found it. It wasn't lost. It wasn't stolen.
42:09Nor was it yours to withhold.
42:11We need to know she's safe.
42:14She's safe now. And she's receiving medical attention.
42:17She's our flesh and blood. She's not too clever in the head. She needs our protection.
42:22I beg to differ as it happens.
42:25And Agatha needs her clothes.
42:28Now you can let me in, or I shall send for the police again.
42:39The results of Miss Hudson's art have come back.
42:42AB negative.
42:44We have a match?
42:45We do.
42:46And you did the right thing.
42:56You need to keep your fluids up when you're donating blood.
43:02The least I could do.
43:04All I ever wanted was to see her thrive.
43:07And that was what upset me.
43:08She was hell-bent on being an unmarried mother.
43:10I work with these sort of girls.
43:13And they don't lead an enviable life.
43:15I think Eileen is going to lead a good life.
43:18She loves her daughter as much as you love her.
43:24I'll be off now.
43:27Done all I can.
43:29I'm not sure that's true.
43:32You did very well with your main course, I must say.
43:35Dr Turner's keen to see you put some weight on.
43:38This is the best food I have had in England.
43:40Wristles and cabbage.
43:42Oh sweetie, you're breaking my heart.
43:44And these clothes are breaking my heart a little too.
43:49But they're yours.
43:50And you're entitled to them.
43:52I don't want them.
43:53They smell of that house.
43:54They smell of him.
43:56We can certainly arrange for them to be laundered.
43:58Or burnt.
44:02There's a cupboard at Nonata's house full of lovely things,
44:05passed on from women and children for other women and children who might need them.
44:11Take a door to the fire.
44:13But not these.
44:15This Bible came with me.
44:16It stays on the journey.
44:18I have a Bible that traveled around the world.
44:21At home in Hungary the communists made us afraid to practice our religion.
44:25I thought when I came here,
44:28I could go to church and pray where there were statues.
44:32I was wrong.
44:33I have not been in a church since I came to this country.
44:37This book was all I had.
44:40At least it was something.
44:43It was not enough.
44:50Good evening.
44:52Mr. and Mrs. Kovach.
44:54I'm about to close the surgery for the evening, but may I be of assistance?
44:57We are looking for my young relative, Ogata Bolasha.
45:00We are very concerned about her.
45:02We were told she needed medical assistance.
45:06There is nobody of that name registered with this practice.
45:09And the only patients on the premises are our maternity cases.
45:13A nurse from this practice has been to our home.
45:16Miss Higgins, when does the rag and bone man come?
45:20Agatha says she doesn't want to keep any of this.
45:21Agatha!
45:23Agatha, where are you?
45:24Call the police!
45:29Don't you dare trespass on a hospital premises in this way.
45:32Get out! Get out now!
45:33Are you here because you're having a baby?
45:36She is here because she was starving and brutalized and required nursing.
45:39Anything else is none of your business.
45:41Have you been telling your stories again?
45:43She's not well. You see, nurse, in the head.
45:46She needs to come home. Don't you, Agatha?
45:49You can't take care of a baby, Agatha.
45:52If you come home, we can look after you and the child.
45:56You can look after me again and we can all be happy together.
46:00Like we used to be.
46:02We were never happy together. I was never happy at all.
46:05We gave you a home. Without us, you are nothing.
46:08That is enough. Agatha is a human being.
46:13You stole her freedom for long enough, but you aren't going to erase her.
46:20And I am telling you to go. Because I am someone.
46:25I can choose. I can speak. Do you hear me?
46:37Oh, you look as though you've had a long day.
46:42The terrible way people can treat each other.
46:46It still surprises me.
46:48Even after all this time.
46:50Some things are always difficult.
46:55What's all this?
46:56Teddy wanted a photo of Petula for the time capsule.
47:00I knew we had one from Easter.
47:02As I was looking, I came across this.
47:08This time between Christopher's chemotherapy sessions has felt so precious.
47:14It's all precious, isn't it?
47:17Every second we get to spend with him.
47:24Well, someone certainly looks brighter.
47:27They sell it at the proper blood.
47:30Where did you get it from?
47:32I asked your aunt to donate.
47:34If her group proved to be the same as yours.
47:37And it was. And she agreed.
47:40Would you like to see her?
47:42Would she come after all the things we said?
47:56Is that her?
47:57A little girl?
47:58Oh.
47:59And it's like you.
48:01She's been right beside her all day.
48:03The little girl needs her family.
48:05Just like me and you, love.
48:07I should never have said the things I said.
48:10I should have backed down.
48:11And so should I.
48:14But I am not your mother.
48:16And I never have been.
48:18No.
48:19You are everyone.
48:22You've been my mum.
48:23My dad.
48:25My aunt.
48:27I'm a best friend.
48:33As tough girls.
48:35We don't let them see us cry.
48:37But we do.
48:40Don't let this one be scared to fool her feelings.
49:00Thank you, nurse.
49:05Thank you, nurse.
49:14You are the one who will be in jail.
49:17If you are the ones who will be in jail.
49:17It is very likely.
49:19As your social worker, I'll help to guide you through the court case.
49:23Where am I to live so that they will not find me?
49:25There is quite a large Hungarian community in Stoke-on-Trent.
49:30And I found a mother and baby home there that you might like to consider once all your papers are
49:35in order.
49:35We might also be able to get you home to Hungary.
49:39If that's what you decide.
49:42I decide?
49:45I am not ready to decide.
49:47That's alright.
49:48We are here to help you when you do.
49:55I found you the most gorgeous coat.
49:58Are you ready for our outing?
50:03It's nice of you to let the nightless house use your spot.
50:09What if I had changed my mind?
50:12It's too late to change your mind.
50:35Mother Mary, she is everything in my religion.
50:40Thank you for letting me see her again.
50:42I always think Mary was so brave, giving birth on a dirt floor with no one to help her.
50:47A mother's love is often indivisible from a mother's courage.
51:01Good morning, sister.
51:02Early again.
51:04I could set my watch by you.
51:07You've done well this week, Nurse Highland.
51:09It's certainly been interesting, which is what I wanted.
51:13I spoke to Mr. Parry and asked if he'd be agreeable to you remaining with us here for a few
51:19more weeks.
51:20He was.
51:22I hope you'll consider it.
51:24I'd be delighted to.
51:26I'll do the staffing roster.
51:28You set up the clinic tests.
51:30Got to keep oil in that machine.
51:34Goodness me!
51:35He had a brainwave!
51:36It's about the time capsule.
51:39We think Christopher will love it.
51:41Oh!
51:42We're going to need lots and lots of paint.
51:48My Huntley and Palmer's biscuit tin should suffice for the capsule.
51:57Whatever is amiss.
51:59It's just...
52:01this description one of the boys has written.
52:07The silver arrow badge is very special.
52:11I got mine building a campfire.
52:15Our leaders are called Arkela and Baloo.
52:20They are very, very old ladies.
52:24So they will be dead in the year 2000 when you open this.
52:30But I don't want you to forget them.
52:33So this is what they look like.
52:45Well...
52:46As they have been so creative...
52:49Perhaps we should be too.
52:51No.
52:54I have no idea.
52:58No!
52:59No!
53:06No!
53:10No!
53:12No!
53:12No!
53:13No!
53:14No!
53:14No!
53:18No!
53:19No!
53:25I did not expect to be so moved by this.
53:29Whatever happens to the Order in the future, we will have always been here.
53:35And perhaps that's all that matters.
53:43Do you like it, Mummy?
53:45Oh, it's perfect!
53:49In fact, I think we should make another one.
53:53May, would you like to send one to your mum in Hong Kong?
53:56I'm sure she'd love to see it.
54:02And what else are we hoping for in the year 2000?
54:07What about a magic oven that could cook a whole dinner in five minutes?
54:12Rocket boots!
54:14Flying cars!
54:15Mandate needles of us sticking in material, not people.
54:19Two cameras!
54:20Two cameras!
54:20Two cameras!
54:21Seven cameras!
54:22Seven cameras!
54:24Seven cameras!
54:47I saved you a tulip.
54:51Do you still need help with your sermon?
54:54No.
55:11We promise our children that there is a future.
55:15That one day, there'll be others on the grass where they play now,
55:21looking back in wonder at the lives that went before.
55:28Every life contains some promise at the outset.
55:33Sometimes its potential is not reached.
55:37Sometimes it blossoms despite the wound and rain.
55:44We all carry seeds within us.
55:47If we're blessed, they bloom into courage, faith, hope, and the love that finds a way.
55:58Children see nothing of that, nor do they need to.
56:02It is enough that they are laughing, saying this is who we were last week, yesterday, an hour ago.
56:12A child's past to a child is already ancient history, and their future feels as far off as the moon.
56:22That is as it ought to be.
56:26Let the present nourish us.
56:29Let us turn our faces to the sun.
56:32And even as the moment fades and falls away, let us vow we will remember it.
56:44A newborn baby is so incredibly vulnerable.
56:47My baby! My baby!
56:49We'll find him.
56:50We've got officers searching the area already.
56:53Are you asking me to go away with you for the weekend?
56:56Yes.
56:57Chemotherapy is one of the toughest things you could put a two-year-old through.
57:00He doesn't have time.
57:06Chemotherapy is one of the toughest things you could put a two-year-old through.
57:32Chemotherapy is one of the toughest things you could put a two-year-old through.
