00:15¡Gracias!
00:30The word promise means so many things and offers up so much.
00:36Promise is a noun, a verb, and a virtue.
00:40It speaks of governance and of reassurance.
00:44It tells us of good things to come.
00:48A promise can be made or given.
00:50It can be broken or kept, binding or fragile, earthly or solemn.
00:57It can be divine or unutterably human.
01:03Apparently, when I was christened, I screamed my head off the whole way through the service.
01:09I don't remember it, of course, but I'll remember this.
01:13It is special and a deserved celebration, soul.
01:17May God bless you and keep you always.
01:20This is your Bible, Cyril.
01:22It's the one you bought from British Guyana.
01:24It came with me on my journey, so it's only right you have it at the start of yours.
01:33Go straight to Mrs. Kovach with these aides.
01:37Occupational therapy kept her waiting long enough.
01:40How long has she had multiple sclerosis?
01:42Five years, according to her notes.
01:45I'll read them before I set off.
01:46You're not setting off anywhere till I'm sure you fix that box to your bicycle correctly.
01:52Nurse Clifford is perfectly capable of managing the straps.
01:57With respect, Nurse Crane, it was you who encouraged me to go on the prevention of accidents course.
02:04Nurse Crane, before you get started, the roster may need recalibrating.
02:10Sir Cuthbert's have called and they are short-staffed yet again.
02:13They have asked if one of our midwives might be seconded to maternity.
02:17Is that usual?
02:18More usual than it ought to be.
02:20Is this Sister Brooks asking again?
02:22Sister Marcus, I'm not sure we're familiar with her.
02:26I wondered if you might oblige, Nurse Highland.
02:29I know you enjoy hospital work.
02:31I would only go if Nurse Crane is agreeable.
02:33I'm agreeable enough.
02:35As long as you get in there and apprise them with their shortcomings vis-à-vis early discharge
02:40and the incorrect management of sutures.
02:44I will tell Sister Marcus to expect you.
02:52Oh, isn't he looking absolutely champion?
02:57He's getting so bonny.
02:59Oh, it's so lovely to be at this quieter point in his chemotherapy cycle.
03:04We're on our way to feed the ducks at the river, but I've forgotten to bring the bread.
03:08I don't suppose you'd mind watching him for a moment while I pop into the shop?
03:11It will be an absolute pleasure.
03:14Hello.
03:16Hello.
03:19Sister Marcus, I'm Nurse Highland.
03:22The only thing better than being punctual is being early.
03:25A maternity ward must run like clockwork, or it doesn't run at all.
03:31Babies do tend to turn up when they want to.
03:33Indeed.
03:34But we have two ladies booked in for induction tomorrow.
03:38That at least we can prepare for.
03:40Our senior midwives are all on the delivery ward this morning.
03:44I need you to supervise Mr. Parry's antenatal clinic.
03:47Of course, Sister Marcus.
03:48I always enjoy clinic work on the district.
03:51This is nothing like the district.
03:57Good morning.
03:59I'm here to see Mrs. Vera Kovac.
04:01Please do come in.
04:06Nurse Clifford, pleasure to meet you.
04:09This is my husband, László.
04:11We fled Hungary together during the revolution, and he's been by my side ever since.
04:17He comes home every day at lunchtime to take me for a walk.
04:21But I'm too exhausted today.
04:24Tomorrow will be better.
04:26And if it isn't, I will carry you in my arms down the road, just so you can see the
04:30sun.
04:32Look after her, please, Nurse.
04:34She's my treasure.
04:36I absolutely shall.
04:40Service.
04:48Thank you.
04:49I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name.
04:51Agata Balasa, my cousin who came from Hungary to help me round the house.
04:56I always say, God sent her.
05:04I've been here an hour.
05:06My urine's not even been tested yet.
05:08So you can only have one urine sample at a time.
05:11Well then, I'll test it myself.
05:13Come on, girls, who else is sick of waiting?
05:16Come on.
05:17Do it ourselves.
05:18Go.
05:25All right, ladies.
05:26Stop 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.
05:40How does that sound?
05:42Tea and biscuits all round, free of charge.
05:46Yeah, great.
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.
06:15I'll refer you back to the physiotherapist.
06:19Mrs 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?
06:44But 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.
06:53So was I.
06:54Number 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?
07:05I don't normally ask that.
07:07I'm on a budget, but I have been knitting.
07:10And have there been any changes since your last appointment?
07:16Yes, nurse.
07:18I, uh, went to love just after I got here.
07:24Is this fresh blood?
07:28Yeah.
07:33I've just been in the stock room,
07:35and none of those old papers has been cleared out.
07:39I found these old comics.
07:41They're great.
07:43Reggie, the 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 re-pregnancy.
08:12There's something wrong with the baby, isn't there?
08:14Honey, let'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 St. Ozwell's,
09:02and it's a different style to my own church.
09:06As a Pentecostalist,
09:08do 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,
09:35but it is the voice of the fresh, nascent faith
09:38that 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
09:56in pursuit of mental clarity.
10:06Good morning.
10:07I thought I was doing well being half an hour early.
10:10I have been here half an hour already.
10:14I always try to get ahead with rosters and notes
10:17before 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'm here to help.
10:31I aim to become a one sister too one day.
10:34I'm glad you used the word one day.
10:37I've been here 15 years
10:39and I was passed over for promotion four times.
10:43What made the difference in the end?
10:46Being exceptionally good at my job
10:48and persevering.
10:50If you want to succeed Nurse Highland,
10:53you 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'm trying already.
11:12I know.
11:13But make no mistake.
11:16They are looking for reasons
11:17not to promote women like us.
11:22Whatever else you do,
11:24do not stick your head above the parapet.
11:29See, 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,
11:39I change a lot of dressings
11:40and handle a lot of babies.
11:45Watching a child come into the world
11:47must 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
12:06reveals great free placenta previa
12:08with the placenta lying completely over the os when closed
12:12and up to three fingers dilation.
12:15Is that bad?
12:17It's not optimal
12:19and it's due to the risk of hemorrhage.
12:21Will perform with cesarean section
12:23as soon as you reach 38 weeks.
12:24Bed rest in the meantime
12:26and I will see you daily.
12:31The cesarean 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. Parry's going to look after you
12:42and 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?
13:14I thought I might fancy a snack.
13:15I'm not hungry.
13:23Agata, have you hurt your arm?
13:26No, it is nothing.
13:29Please, you must go now.
13:30I'm afraid I won't leave until you let me look at it.
13:39You 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.
14:12In this hospital night,
14:13he's rubbing my neck red raw.
14:27I'm sorry.
14:30My auntie 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
14:45about bringing up a baby on me own
14:47and now I'm just lying here thinking about it.
14:51I'm terrified.
14:55Who's auntie Mora?
14:57Will she be on hand to her?
15:02She brought me up after my mum passed away.
15:05Never had any children of her own.
15:07Didn't have a mother of my own.
15:11So you filled each other's gaps.
15:14I was raised by my grandmother.
15:16I 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
15:41and 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 Ostrichogogo.
15:55I have strippers.
16:00She swore she'd never speak to me again
16:03and we'd have to have that.
16:12Hello, Christopher.
16:15Did y'all have a lovely time together?
16:19We're going to be souvenirs of what we were like
16:21and of what the programme was like.
16:22We're watching Blue Peter.
16:23And when Blue Peter in 29 years' time comes out here,
16:28they'll be able to dig up this box
16:30and see exactly what we were like
16:31and 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.
16:43Here they are.
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.
16:58I'm busy.
17:01Bring what?
17:03You're making it at home, capsule.
17:07I saw Agatha eating out of the bin, Miss Higgins.
17:11And not only was that burn extremely infected,
17:13she says she's not allowed to leave the house.
17:15I have nothing under her surname, Alessa.
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,
17:27but she needs medical attention, Miss Higgins.
17:29Can we register her with this practice
17:32and arrange a home visit?
17:35I can set her up as a temporary patient,
17:38using the Kovach's address.
17:41But if her relatives are mistreating her,
17:44as you describe,
17:45you may need to think carefully before you intervene,
17:47lest it render her situation even worse.
17:50I don't think it could be much worse.
17:54Sister,
17:56Eileen Hudson's blood pressure seems a little high.
17:58What's the reading?
17:59130 over 90.
18:01I believe anxiety is to blame.
18:04She's distressed about her family situation
18:06and 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,
18:14and we have to focus on the medical issues.
18:17We always have time for a few kind words,
18:20but we don't have time for emotional involvement.
18:28Would you do that for a file that will go absolutely spare?
18:32Reginald Jackson!
18:35I need a tin for my tone capsule.
18:40Well, that is all well and good,
18:42but 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, but there'll be robots,
19:12and they'll use rocket launches to fly to their appointments.
19:16No, they won't.
19:17They'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.
19:25Why?
19:25Well, because people often keep quiet about what's bothering them.
19:30You need human ears to hear that.
19:46Poplar, 7982.
19:47Who'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!
20:17You'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 girl's 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.
20:57Sookie cornflakes.
20:58I couldn't face it.
20:58I can't say I blame you.
20:59I'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.
21:33Vera 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.
21:40Vera 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 hurts 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 you, honey.
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.
22:45But when 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?
23:05Haslo.
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.
23:49Don't answer, chapter, please.
23:59BP rising.
24:12Baby girl.
24:14Time, please.
24:15Two minutes past two.
24:17Thank you.
24:31Perfect.
24:33And now we turn our attention to the delivery of our erstwhile adversary, the Prasetta.
24:38Ogometrian, if you'd be so kind.
24:52Agatha needs every kind of help, Cyril.
24:54I can put her on the Nunatus 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.
25:05Resolind, you have to slow down.
25:07I'll open a file on her straight away.
25:08But 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.
25:34But 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.
25:49I 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 during the abdication.
26:21My recollections fade.
26:24But it matters not to God, for whom a thousand years is but a day.
26:31I wonder how many babies will have been born in Poplar by the time they dig these capsules up.
26:38And who will be delivering them if Nanata's house isn't here anymore?
26:41That's an interesting assumption, I suggest we refrain from speculation at present.
26:49Sister Veronica, would you like to lead us in the grace?
26:57Oh, what's all this?
26:58Are 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 that somehow made their way
27:07into the capsule.
27:08We might be hungry in the year 2000.
27:11Oh, I 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.
27:33Her BP has stabilised and her blood loss is normal.
27:37That can be the last of the 30-minute observations.
27:41Hourly checks from now on.
27:49Baloo 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 spaceships.
28:04Thank you, Neil.
28:05But I think we may struggle to get a car into a biscuit tin.
28:10What we thought was that we'd include a selection of Cub Scout badges and each of you can write a
28:18letter 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.
28:29Your hand went up first, so you get first pick of the badges.
28:32Now, are there any questions?
28:36My teeth just come out.
28:38Can I put that in?
28:39Can I put your money in?
28:41I cannot put my soul in the air!
28:45How much longer will you feel?
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 they'll come to me.
29:37Agatha, come to me.
29:49Eileen, I 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?
30:06Honey, you'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.
30:16I can't help me.
30:19I'm ready to see you in the nursery, my baby.
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.
30:51I 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.
31:13Well, I've been talking to the Lady Emily
31:16about 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.
31:35Nenata's house, Sister Julian.
31:37I'm afraid Nurse Clifford is not here.
31:41We do have another midwife on duty
31:43who will come and see Agatha.
31:48Here she is.
31:50Excited as anything to meet her mummy.
31:55Eileen!
32:00I'm cold.
32:19I need help.
32:21We have a major postpartum hemorrhage.
32:32We'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?
32:51We 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 writs.
33:19Agatha, 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, I 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 us 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 height 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.
35:27Lord, let me know mine end, and the number of my days, that I may be certified how long I
35:38have to live.
35:41Behold, the wisdom's been my days as it were a span long.
35:48And 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.
36:02Does there 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.
36:46Unless...
36:47You take Regisole.
36:48There's nothing going in there apart from fresh air and old soil.
36:52Has he lost interest?
36:54No.
36:54He's gone off the idea of burying his comics.
37:00We'll send off a urine sample.
37:02But 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.
37:53No, not police.
37:55Laszlo and Vera 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.
39:37As the 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.
39:51They're going round to the Kovacs's this afternoon.
40:07We're not hiring.
40:10The 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 wanted her to weigh him high.
40:38That's all.
40:40I wanted her to be respectable.
40:43You don't have to make amends with her.
40:46You don't even have to see her.
40:47She desperately needs a blood transfusion and there's a possibility you might be a match.
40:57This 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 and 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 but all these souvenirs are lovely.
41:37I had a prolapsed cord with Claire.
41:39She would have died if it hadn't been for Nanata's house.
41:42Thank you.
41:44That is just perfect.
41:51Good afternoon Mrs Kovach.
41:53I'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.
42:02Raking through every cupboard, every drawer.
42:04I imagine they were looking for her passport.
42:06They found it.
42:07It wasn't lost.
42:08It wasn't stolen.
42:09Nor was it yours to withhold.
42:11We need to know she's safe.
42:14She's safe now.
42:15And she's receiving medical attention.
42:17She's our flesh and blood.
42:18She's not too clever in the head.
42:20She needs our protection.
42:22I beg to differ as it happens.
42:25And Agatha needs her clothes.
42:29Now you can let me in or I shall send for the police again.
42:39The results of Miss Hudson's art have come back.
42:42A, B, negative.
42:44We have a match.
42:44We 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.
43:06And that was what upset me when she 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.
43:40Ristles 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.
43:55We can certainly arrange for them to be laundered.
43:59Or burnt.
44:02There's a cupboard at Nonata's house full of lovely things
44:05passed on from women and children
44:07for other women and children who might need them.
44:11Take it out of the fire.
44:13But not these.
44:14This 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
44:23to 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,
44:56but may I be of assistance?
44:58We are looking for my young relative,
44:59Agatha Bolachar.
45:00We are very concerned about her.
45:02We were told she needed medical assistance.
45:05There 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.
45:17Miss 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?
45:24Police!
45:29Don't you dare trespass on a hospital premises in this way.
45:32Get out.
45:32Get out now.
45:33Are you here because you're having a baby?
45:36She is here because she was starving,
45:38unbrutalized, and required nursing.
45:39Anything else is none of your business.
45:41Have you been telling your stories again?
45:43She's not well.
45:44You see, nurse, in the head.
45:46She needs to come home.
45:48Don'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.
46:03I was never happy at all.
46:05We gave you a home.
46:07Without us, you are nothing.
46:09That is enough.
46:10Agatha is a human being.
46:13You stole her freedom for long enough,
46:15but you aren't going to erase her.
46:20And I am telling you to go because I am someone.
46:25I can choose.
46:27I can speak.
46:28Do 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, even after all this time.
46:50Some things are always difficult.
46:54What'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
47:11has 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 said it had the proper blood.
47:30Where'd you get it from?
47:32I asked your aunt to donate
47:33if her group proved to be the same as yours.
47:36And 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?
47:59And is that 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.
48:12And so should I.
48:14And 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.
48:27And my best friend.
48:33That's tough girls.
48:34We don't let them see us cry.
48:37But we do.
48:40Don't let this one be scared to feel her feelings.
49:01Thank you, nurse.
49:06Laszlo and Vera can't hurt you anymore, Agatha.
49:09They have no power over you.
49:11And the police have charged them with false imprisonment.
49:14Then they are the ones who will be in jail?
49:17It is very likely.
49:19As your social worker, I'd 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've found a mother and baby home there that you might like to consider
49:33once all your papers are in 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're 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 night of the south use your spot.
50:09What if I had changed my mind?
50:12It's too late to change your mind.
50:35Mother Mary, she has 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.
50:48A 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.
51:29You set up the cleaning tests.
51:30Got to keep oil in that machine.
51:34Goodness me!
51:35We had a brainwave!
51:36Careful down those stairs!
51:37It's about the time capsule.
51:39We think Christopher will love it.
51:41Ooh!
51:42We're going to need lots and lots of paint.
51:49My Huntley and Palmer's biscuit tin should suffice for the capsule.
51:57Whatever is amiss?
51:59It's just this 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, as they have been so creative, perhaps we should be too.
