05:48I
05:53I
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
06:20What's this?
06:22I
06:22I lost my grip on a cup of tea
06:26I
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
06:43But I'd generally just go by Eileen
06:48You gave a good account yourself out there nurse
06:51I was raised to take no nonsense
06:52So was I
06:53Number one rule in life
06:55I was told give as good as you get
06:56And never back down
06:58As long as you do it with a smile
07:01Only three weeks until your due date
07:02How are preparations going for baby's arrival?
07:06I don't normally ask that
07:07I'm on a budget
07:08But
07:09I have been knitting
07:11And have there been any changes since your last appointment?
07:16Yes
07:16Nurse
07:17I
07:20Went to love
07:21Just 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've found these old comics
07:40They're great
07:43Reggie
07:43The whole point of a spring clean
07:46Is to make space
07:47They can't stay here
07:49You'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 now 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
08:39Oh
08:40I didn't mean to wake you
08:41I found some of Nurse Clifford's favourite tulips on the market
08:45And I wanted to give her a surprise
08:47Young love was ever this
08:49Yes, I'm also hoping to ask her for help with a sermon
08:57I've been asked to be a guest preacher at St. Todd'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
09:21I 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
09:34I would offer my assistance
09:35But it is the voice of the fresh, nascent faith that you should heed
09:42Age has attenuated me
09:45You are the wisest soul I know
09:47I'm going to leave you to get on with your rest
09:49Rest is for the dissolute
09:53I 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'm here to help
10:31I aim to become a Wardsister too one day
10:34I'm glad you used the word one day
10:37I've been here fifteen years
10:39And I was passed over for promotion four times
10:43What made the difference in the end?
10:45Being exceptionally good at my job
10:48And persevering
10:51If you want to succeed Nurse Highland
10:53You will have to work harder than everyone else
10:56Getting earlier than everyone else
11:00And oil that machine better than anyone else
11:04Can you do that?
11:06I can try
11:08And I will try
11:11I'm trying already
11:12I know
11:13But make no mistake
11:15They are looking for reasons not to promote women like us
11:22Whatever else you do
11:23Do 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
11:36Well, 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
11:52I 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
12:12And up to three fingers dilation
12:14Is that bad?
12:17It's not optimal
12:19Due to the risk of hemorrhage
12:21Will perform a cesarean section as soon as you reach 38 weeks
12:24Bed rest in the meantime
12:26And I will see you daily
12:31A cesarean section?
12:32They 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
12:42And so am I
12:51Agatha?
13:00Agatha?
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
13:23Agatha, 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 have a burn that's turning septic
13:42You must come to the doctor and get it treated
13:45No, I cannot go to the doctor
13:48Agatha!
13:49Why not?
13:52Agatha, I want you!
13:55Because I do not leave this house
14:03I have your iron pears, Miss Hudson
14:04Twice a day on Mr. Parry's orders
14:07He certainly gives plenty of them
14:08I hate using bedpans, I can't get any sleep
14:11In this hospital night, he'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
14:40I was feeling all gung-ho and can-do about 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 Aunty 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, no 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 Ostrichogogo
15:55I have strippers
16:00She swore she'd never speak to me again
16:05And we'd have to hear that
16:11Hello Christopher
16:14Did y'all have a lovely time together?
16:21We're watching Blue Peter
16:23We're watching Blue Peter
16:25When Blue Peter in 29 years time comes out here
16:28They'll be able to dig up this box and see exactly what we were like and what we were doing
16:32here today
16:32A time capsule
16:34We should make our own
16:36Mum, do you have any spare time capsules we could use?
16:41We could bury them in the garden
16:42Here they are
16:43Well, we've got to work here
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
16:59Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
17:01Bring what?
17:03You're making a time capsule
17:07I saw Agatha eating out of the bin, Miss Higgins
17:10And 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, Velasa
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
17:26But 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
17:55Sister, Eileen Hudson's blood pressure seems a little high
17:58What's the reading?
18:00130 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 you 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
18:36For my...
18:38Tone 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
18:53Yes
18:54I don't think I've ever known Dennis 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
19:10But they'll be robots
19:13And they'll use rocket launchers to fly to their appointments
19:15No 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
19:24Why?
19:26Well because people often keep quiet about what's bothering them
19:30You need human ears to hear that
19:45Poplar 7982, who's speaking please?
19:53Yes
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
20:56Sookie cornflakes, I couldn't face it
20:58I can't say I blame you
21:00I'll find you a couple of rounds of toast
21:01Did 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. Parry's unhappy with your blood pressure
21:33Farrah 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
21:40Farrah must not know it
21:41It will make her angry
21:42You not receiving the care you need
21:44Makes 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
21:54Where did you hurt me from the cattle?
22:04She hurt me
22:07She hurts me all the time
22:12One minute I'm scared
22:13The next time I'm excited
22:16Let's go with excited
22:18I'll be right in the room with Yanni
22:25Agatha
22:27Can 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
22:57So...
22:59So he keeps on
23:01He?
23:03Who is he?
23:05Haslaw
23:09They say I belong to them
23:10That all is permitted
23:11None of this is permitted
23:15This is rape
23:17Have you ever tried to run away?
23:20I have no papers
23:22They took my passport
23:25I...
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 now
23:38I think that I am asking now
23:58I am asking now
23:59BP rising
24:12Baby girl
24:14Time please
24:15Two minutes past two
24:16Thank you
24:31Perfect
24:32And now we turn our attention to the delivery of our erstwhile adversary, the placenta
24:38Ogimetrian, if you'd be so kind
24:52Agatha needs every kind of help, Cyril
24:54I can put her on the Ninatus books as an antenatal patient
24:56But we have to find her somewhere safe to live now
24:59Before she is injured again, before she is raped again, and before she actually gets pregnant
25:04Rosalind, 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
25:25Agatha
25:33Agatha, I will be quick, but I need you to listen
25:35Agatha!
25:37This is the address of a women's hostel
25:39They 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
26:09I'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 by the time they dig these
26:36Capsules up
26:38And who will be delivering them if Nanata's house isn't here anymore?
26:41That's an interesting assumption, Miss Aylward
26:44I 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?
26:59We 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
27:09We 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, as soon as he's better he's going home to mummy in Hong Kong
27:33A BP has stabilised and a blood loss as normal
27:37That can be the last of the 30 minute observations
27:41Hourly checks from now on
27:49Ballou 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
28:03Yay!
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
28:20And what you did to earn it
28:22Hands up who thinks that's a good idea
28:27Thank you, Andrew
28:28Your 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!
28:45How much longer will he feel?
28:48She's young
28:49And she's healthy
28:51She'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
29:22Agatha
29:37Agatha, come to me
29:48Oh, 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 haven't seen my woke up now
30:03Didn't they get out?
30:06Honey, you've just had an operation
30:08So you're not thinking straight just yet
30:09You have a beautiful little girl
30:12And she's up in the nursery
30:14Giving you some peace and quiet
30:16Girl
30:18I need to see the nursery
30:21After 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 stall'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
30:59They know some things
31:01But 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
31:29The pub
31:33CHEERS
31:35Nonata's house. Mr. Julian
31:37I'm afraid Nurse Clifford is not here
31:40We do have another midwife on duty
31:43Who will come and see Agata
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.
32:32You'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 theater.
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, I think no.
33:31I don't want a baby.
33:32I don't want anything.
33:39Please, Agatha, will 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.
34:40I 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.
35:04And 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.
35:18You'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
35:31And the number of my days
35:35That I may be certified
35:37How long I have to live
35:42Behold, there has must been my days
35:44As it were a span long
35:47And my age is even
35:50As nothing in respect of thee
35:54You have a very rare blood type, Miss Hudson
35:56AB negative
35:58You've now had all the hospital had in store
36:00And we're awaiting supplies
36:02Does it have to be special blood?
36:05Can I just have the normal kind?
36:07They tried a substitute group overnight, honey
36:09But 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
36:17And 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
36:38Have you room for one more?
36:41I've had a wee idea
36:42I don't reckon there's a single corner left
36:45Unless
36:47You take Regisole
36:48There's nothing going in there
36:50Apart from fresh air
36:51And old soil
36:52Has he lost interest?
36:54No
36:54He's gone off the idea
36:56Of 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
37:08Nobody is making you go back to that house, sweetie
37:11No
37:11But 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
37:22And for yourself
37:24I want to do blood tests
37:25And weigh you
37:27I think you may be very malnourished
37:30That's no good for either of you
37:33Laszlo and Vera
37:34Do not know there is a child
37:37And you're under no obligation to tell them
37:39But Laszlo is the father
37:41And Vera wants to be the mother
37:42If we move you here
37:44To our maternity home
37:46We don't need to concern ourselves with what they want
37:50And with your permission
37:51I am going to the police
37:53No, not police
37:55Laszlo and Vera say we're good
37:56Because I am illegal
37:58I have no papers
38:00I have no papers
38:00You have no papers
38:01Because they stole them from you
38:04Meanwhile
38:05You've been tortured
38:07Imprisoned
38:08Starved
38:10And raped
38:11Agatha
38:12You are not the one
38:14Who's committed a crime
38:36Thank you, Mr. Parry
38:42Sister
38:43Eileen'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
38:53And she has no family we can ask
38:56Because I took time to get to know her
38:58I can tell you she does have family
39:00She has an aunt
39:02Whom I think I can find
39:04We do not have the time for you to go on a wild goose chase
39:08Sister
39:10I'm sticking my head above the parapet
39:16And if it helps our patient
39:19I'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
39:33Had no interest in the terrible sexual abuse Agatha suffered
39:38The officer called it a bit of he said, she said
39:42Such a woeful dereliction of duty
39:47However, they were interested in the theft of Agatha's passport
39:51They're going round to the Kovach's this afternoon
40:08We're not hiring?
40:10Like the uniform could come in useful
40:13I'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
40:39That's all
40:41I 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
40:50And there's a possibility you might be a match
40:58This is all rather novel
41:01I had hoped to surprise you
41:04And then realised if it wasn't advertised we wouldn't have anything to put in it
41:08So many of our mothers have brought little things along
41:11Just because of word of mouth
41:14Dozens of nappy pins, pink and blue
41:17And quite a few name bracelets from the maternity home
41:21During the war
41:23We used to write the baby's names on sticking plaster
41:26Taped across their back
41:28I don't think that sounds hygienic
41:30But all these souvenirs are lovely
41:37I had a prolapse cord with Claire
41:39She would have died if it hadn't been for Nanot's house
41:42Thank you
41:44That is just perfect
41:51Good afternoon, Mrs. Kovach
41:53I've come to collect Agatha's belongings
41:55Where is she?
41:57She's asked that we don't disclose her whereabouts
41:59The police have been here
42:01Raking 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
42:13She'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
42:28Now you can let me in
42:30Or I shall send for the police again
42:39The results of Miss Hudson's art have come back
42:43AB negative
42:43We 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
43:02It's the least I could do
43:04All I ever wanted was to see her thrive
43:07And that was what upset me
43:08When she was hell-bent on being an unmarried mother
43:11I 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
43:37This is the best food I have had in England
43:40Wristles and cabbage
43:41Oh 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, they smell of that house
43:54They smell of him
43:55We 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
44:07For other women and children who might need them
44:11Take it out of the fire
44:13But not these
44:15This Bible came with me, it 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
44:56But may I be of assistance?
44:58We are looking for my young relative, Agata Bolasha
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
45:16Ms. Higgins, when does the rag and bone man come?
45:20Agata says she doesn't want to keep anyone
45:21Agata! Agata, where are you?
45:24Call the police!
45:29Don't you dare trespass on hospital premises in this way
45:32Get out! Get out now!
45:33Are you here because you're having a baby?
45:35She 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
45:44You see, nurse, in the head
45:46She needs to come home, don't you, Agata?
45:49You can't take care of a baby, Agata
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
46:01We were never happy together, I was never happy at all
46:05We gave you a home
46:06Without us, you are nothing
46:09That is enough
46:10Agata is a human being
46:12You stole her freedom for long enough, but you aren't going to erase her
46:20And I am telling you to go
46:23Because I am someone
46:25I can choose, I 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
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
46:59I 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 said it had the proper blood
47:30Where did 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
48:06Just like me and you, love
48:07I should never have said the things I said
48:09I should have backed down
48:12And 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
48:24My dad
48:24My aunt
48:27And my best friend
48:33As tough girls
48:34We 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
49:02Thank you, nurse
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
49:34Once 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
49:49We'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 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 has everything in my religion
50:40Thank you for letting me see her again
50:42I always think Mary was so brave
50:44Giving birth on a dirt floor with no one to help her
50:47A mother's love is often indivisible
50:51From a mother's courage
51:01Good morning, sister
51:02Early again
51:03I could set my watch by you
51:07You've done well this week, Nurse Highland
51:09It's certainly been interesting
51:11Which 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 too
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!
51:36Careful down those stairs
51:37It's about the time capsule
51:39We think Christopher will love it
51:41Ooh!
51:43We're going to need lots and lots of paint
51:48My Huntley and Palmer's biscuit tin should suffice for the capsule
51:58Whatever is amiss
51:59It's just...
52:02This 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
52:19They are very, very old ladies
52:23So they will be dead in the year 2000 when you open this
52:30But I don't want you to forget them
52:33But I don't want you to forget them
52:33So this is what they look like
52:46Well, as they have been so creative, perhaps we should be too
52:51But I do
53:20And they'll be funny
53:20So they'll be funny
53:20They're very dry theyen
53:20And they'll be very dry
53:25I did not expect to be so moved by this.
53:29Whatever happens to the Order in the future,
53:32we 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.
53:52May, 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 calves!
54:15Mandate needles for sticking in material, not people.
54:18Choose cameras!
54:20This is a mess.
54:22It's a mess.
54:48I 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.
55:43We all carry seeds within us.
55:47If we're blessed they bloom into courage.
55:52Faith, 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.
56:05Saying this is who we were last week.
56:09Yesterday, an hour ago.
56:12A child's past to a child is already ancient history.
56:18And their future feels as far off as the moon.
56:23That is as it ought to be.
56:26Let the present nourish us.
56:29Let us turn our faces to the sun.
56:31And even as the moment fades and falls away.
56:36Let us vow.
56:38We will remember it.
56:44A newborn baby is so incredibly vulnerable.
56:47My baby!
56:48My 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.
57:02What if he...
57:03Is he...
57:04What if he's going to take care of?
57:12Why...
57:16How is this?
57:16What if he had problems and he had problems with you...
57:16that one would be that...
57:16Oh...
57:16Oh...
57:16Oh...
57:16Oh...
57:17Oh...
57:20Oh...
57:21Oh...
57:21Oh...
57:21Oh...
57:31Oh... Oh...
