00:10To be continued
00:49Tracking down the Avery family was like a trip down memory lane.
00:52A warm July evening in the east end of London town and I was thinking, ain't life grand.
00:58Earning at last, a new motor, new gear, maybe even a new career.
01:03Nothing could be finer in the state of Salmon Liner.
01:12Robert Moorhouse was your usual barrack block in the sky.
01:1620 shabby stories of spray can philosophy and incurable optimism about West Ham football
01:21team.
01:2120 shabby.
01:3020 shabby.
01:3420 shabby.
01:4920 shabby.
01:5520 shabby.
01:5720 shabby.
02:0820 shabby.
02:12Bleeding ankle.
02:13I would have had it amputated, but I was kinda sentimental about that foot.
02:42The thing is, in this racket,
02:48As it turned out, I was probably the biggest bastard who ever pressed the Avery's bell button.
02:54Yeah?
02:56Good evening. Mr. Clifford Avery?
02:59Yeah?
03:01My name's James Hazel.
03:06Sorry to bother you. Honey, I'm doing a spot of research into St. Maul's maternity. I understand your wife had
03:11a baby there.
03:13Tony!
03:13We don't want any.
03:15Now, he's doing some research.
03:17We had all that research crap before, thanks very much.
03:23No, I'm researching his TV programme.
03:28What programme is that then?
03:30Well, I'm not allowed to say too much at this stage, but it's a documentary about this Victorian hospital, you
03:35know?
03:35Thought we'd trace a few of the kids born there, see how they made out, get their mother's impressions.
03:39Do we get paid?
03:41Tony!
03:42Six months short, to another strike, all of a sudden we're too proud, are we?
03:46Well, there might be a few, Bob, innit? But don't go booking any two weeks in Jamaica on that account,
03:50will you?
03:50Yeah, Jamaica.
03:51Have the heart of a bleeding Jamaica, kicking lumps out of the caverns.
03:55Trees!
03:56Up here!
03:57That!
04:01That!
04:02That!
04:03That!
04:12How was it in St Malton, Mrs Abram?
04:15Compared with what? I've never been to the Dorchester, have I?
04:18Just like an hospital, what is there to say?
04:22Trish?
04:23Mm.
04:26Nice-looking kid.
04:28A lot of our lives are any reason for living.
04:30Where's she getting her in here from?
04:31Cliff's side of the family, touch of the Irish.
04:38You're over-feeding these, Trout.
04:40Once a day and lightly. That's the secret.
04:43Expert, are you?
04:44Share a flat with some finny friends.
04:47I think there's a can of lager going spare.
04:49I've got no vices. None.
04:51Only telling lies.
04:53Yeah? There's a man on the telly.
04:56Do you know Doctor Who?
04:58Only by sight.
05:00Can you tell me about the dragon?
05:02Oh, Donaldson.
05:03Now, she would be something for a programme.
05:06Yeah?
05:06I mean, a nurse.
05:08Don't mean off, Judy, neither.
05:10Donaldson, you say?
05:12Look, er, can I borrow that?
05:15Yeah, well, we'd get it back, wouldn't we?
05:17I mean, it's the only one we've got of her.
05:18Stand on me.
05:19Maybe you'll forget, shouldn't we know, where to get hold of you.
05:22Right, sheesh.
05:27Vanilla brick, please.
05:29Daddy!
05:30Well, thanks very much, eh?
05:32Keep in touch, eh?
05:33You bet.
05:37Mrs Hayley.
05:39Once a day.
05:40And lightly.
05:42That's the secret.
05:47The car seemed okay.
05:49None of the little signs that tell her tampering.
05:52Like no engine and four missing wheels.
05:55I wasn't reckoning I'd never see any abries again.
05:58But then I'm like the weather forecast.
06:01Only bright in patches.
06:04Yes, well, that's what Charles said.
06:06Yes, I know, darling.
06:07Positively sick-making.
06:09What?
06:10He said Claire was xenophobic.
06:12What, after a whole summer with a Portuguese fisher boy?
06:16Do you have an appointment?
06:18I'm a casualty.
06:20Hang on a sec.
06:21What do you want?
06:22A night review in a dictionary.
06:25James.
06:26Come in.
06:32Of course, you know that Charles is quite mad, don't you?
06:37Tell me about it.
06:41Patricia, Avery.
06:43A, B, R, E, Y.
06:47Parents, Cliff and Tony.
06:48Only child.
06:50I rise in Bethnal Green.
06:5257 Robert Morehouse.
06:53Subland Avenue, East 2.
06:55Father's a machinist when he's not on strike.
06:57That sounds rather sordid.
06:59Yeah, I felt quite at home.
07:01I did promise that they'd get that back.
07:04You always break your promises.
07:08Well, look, I might tell a bit of lies if I knew what this was all about.
07:11You'd never make a barrister, James.
07:13We had instructions from a high-powered law office in Los Angeles.
07:16That's all I know.
07:18Here.
07:19Keep half your promise.
07:24My father was right.
07:25You do a nice quick job.
07:28We'll get along.
07:30Terrific.
07:31James.
07:33How, uh, how closely do you keep in touch with your old colleagues?
07:38Stop asking me to the Yard Riverboat Shuffle.
07:40Why?
07:44You're, uh, you're aware of the clientele my father built up.
07:49Coming and going in this office, you may hear things.
07:52I don't have to spell it out, do I?
07:56Yes.
08:00I knew you'd understand.
08:04I'll be in touch.
08:05At the, uh, risk of sounding like a man who's a hidden barrage...
08:08Pony?
08:11Peele him off a pony, will you, love?
08:13A what?
08:1425 pounds.
08:16Love.
08:25Xen or what's it?
08:27Xenophobic.
08:29A detestation of foreigners.
08:32You'd love it where I come from.
08:33I doubt that I'd ever go where you come from.
09:00James Hazel.
09:02Business is my trouble.
09:07There's been two phone calls for you.
09:09A woman.
09:10Wouldn't leave a name.
09:12Sounded extremely common.
09:14That's how I like it.
09:15Anonymous and common.
09:17Hello, Doctor.
09:18Night patrol contract.
09:20Might come in useful.
09:21We need a dog handler.
09:24Moved yourself in yet, handsome?
09:26Very grateful to you, I'm sure.
09:28Always wondered how brooms and brushes fill when a cupboard door closes.
09:31Squatters can't be choosers.
09:33Ah, how long are you likely to be on this Gordon Gregory girl?
09:37What, 25 a day?
09:38Next year, I hope.
09:39Yeah.
09:40Well, I'm the one who's giving you shelter.
09:43Remember.
09:46Don't get a crush on a brush.
10:13Don't get a crush on a brush.
10:24Still, it is your actual Mayfair, isn't it?
10:35Yeah.
10:40Of course.
10:43That's right.
10:45Once a day.
10:46And likely.
10:48Sorry it's such a mess.
10:50They all say that, don't they?
10:52Yeah.
10:53Only yours is a mess.
10:54Oh, thanks.
10:57So, Powers, when I phone?
10:59Yeah.
10:59I expected a carrier pigeon.
11:01Fancy yourself with married women, do you?
11:04Well, I tried it with married men, but it just wasn't the same.
11:09Yeah, I suppose I am a bit of a slut, really.
11:12God, I hate this place, and Cliff won't hear of me getting a job.
11:15You ever live in a high-rise?
11:16No.
11:16Old places, mostly.
11:17The young lady on the next floor up died, and no one knew for three days.
11:21Still, you'll learn.
11:22I don't expect you want to listen to the problems of a dull little housewife like me.
11:26You remember us mentioning that old dragon of a nurse?
11:28What, a boozy one?
11:29Speak of the devil I saw this morning.
11:31After taking Trish to school, she lives nearer Whitnall Street, up the other end of Sutherland Avenue.
11:36I, uh, I followed her.
11:38Well done.
11:39I thought it might help.
11:41Not interested.
11:43We're still talking about the nurse?
11:46Yeah.
11:48It was just an excuse phoning like that.
11:52Right from the first time you was at the door.
11:55I'm not just anybody's, you know.
11:58Where's your husband?
12:01I'm the picket line.
12:04Strike while the iron's hot.
12:05Don't make fun of me.
12:07Why do you think I gave you me phone number?
12:18You think we should blindfold a fish or something?
12:32What happened to your ankle?
12:35Some nasty villain shot it in a car door a couple of times.
12:39I used to be in the old bill.
12:41A copper?
12:42Well, actually, I wanted to be a traffic warden, but I flunked the physical.
12:48Can anyone ever tell you what lovely knees you've got?
12:52Knees?
12:53I could eat a knee.
12:55Never met a man who's kinky about knees before.
12:59You kidding?
12:59They're the latest thing.
13:01I never met anyone who's so kinky about having daylight on the proceedings, have I?
13:04Oh, we're seven floors up.
13:06You don't find many peeping toms flying in a helicopter.
13:09Yeah, well, next time, remind me to bring me parachute, eh?
13:12Oh.
13:13There's going to be a next time, is that?
13:16Well, if he's on the picket line all week, we've got Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
13:25And that's just how it was with Tony and me for the rest of that week.
13:28I didn't know if it was love, but I did know I wanted that strike to last long enough to
13:31cripple the economy,
13:33provided it didn't ruin me first.
13:38This is Georgina Gunning, I presume.
13:41And what possible connection could she have with Bethnal Green?
14:13Pleasant.
14:14Eleven hours in the air, and you're a rival to proceed you.
14:18Two by two, like a goddamn arc.
14:21This is James Hazel, our operative.
14:23James, this is Gunning.
14:25Snooper, right?
14:27Charmed, I'm sure.
14:30Tell me about the Abrys.
14:31Pretty slummy, is it?
14:34Depends on what you're used to.
14:36I'm used to it, all right, cock.
14:39I was born in Shacklewell Lane, Stetney, and shared a stinking bedsit in Notting Hill.
14:47Now I live in Bel Air, drive a Mercedes Sports, and have a husband who drags down a quarter of
14:54a million dollars a year.
14:56So tell me how the Abrys live, right?
15:00They do have a colour television.
15:03I want to see them.
15:05Well, James can arrange that.
15:06But I don't want them to see me.
15:08Not yet.
15:10I'll, er, lend you me false beard.
15:13Oh.
15:14Oh, yes.
15:15Night work?
15:17Day, night.
15:18Us snoopers, we don't punch clocks.
15:19That woman phoned again.
15:22Well, she, er, calls back.
15:25Tell her I'm out.
15:31I've been so busy having some enchanted mornings with Tony, I'd almost forgotten how I met her in the first
15:36place.
15:36And now I've met the client, a little warning bell was ringing.
15:41Georgina Gunning had a strong smell of what we in the trade called trouble.
15:47Chris and I gambled everything to get out of dead ends like this.
15:52What's his record then?
15:55He started as a rock drummer in a Wandsworth pub.
15:58Now he's a record producer in L.A.
16:00A very successful record producer.
16:03Beating the Yanks to their own game.
16:05I'll bet he's even bought his old mum a mansion.
16:09Also, God, I'm funny.
16:10No, nothing.
16:11It's just that you always read about how these pop millionaires are going to do this and that for their
16:14old mums.
16:16Alan did buy his mother a house.
16:18By the river.
16:19Down in Sunbury.
16:21Standing there empty.
16:22Stupid old car won't budge.
16:23There you go.
16:41This is as close as I go.
16:44The hell with you.
16:47Take the shortcut.
16:52Poor Tony.
16:54I knew the kind of book she'd be reading.
16:57A romance about strong men with crinkly smiles and names like Craig Fairhart.
17:17That was me.
17:18Once.
17:20Half a life ago.
17:22Where'd it all go?
17:24I want to see Gregory.
17:27What, on a Saturday afternoon?
17:28I don't care what it costs.
17:32I think you just said the password.
17:53Excuse me.
17:54Excuse me.
17:59I take it this is a matter of some urgency.
18:01You bet.
18:03Come with me.
18:19About five weeks back...
18:22About five weeks back, I was involved in an auto accident.
18:26My little girl, Helen, was badly injured.
18:28She needed transfusions.
18:29Chris wanted it to be our blood, so they tested our groups.
18:34His was O, mine was B, and Helen's was A1.
18:40Parents with O and B groupings cannot, but cannot, produce a child with an A1 grouping.
18:47They tested again.
18:49There was absolutely no way we could both be Helen's parents.
18:53A paternity matter.
18:54No. Chris was the father of that baby I had in St. Maud's.
18:58Of that I can assure you.
19:00And Helen was the baby I took home.
19:03But they weren't the same baby.
19:06You were in the same ward as Tony Avery.
19:08And you think...
19:09Uh-uh. I know.
19:12Would somebody mind?
19:14I'd been five hours in labor.
19:16They shoved this wet little bundle under my nose.
19:19I was doped to the eyebrows.
19:21The next time I saw her, I was in the ward with a name tag around her wrist.
19:27Jesus.
19:32Patricia Avery's a redhead.
19:36And my Helen has jet black hair.
19:39Exactly like that guy Avery's.
19:41There's no other explanation.
19:43The babies were switched between the delivery room and the ward.
19:49Well...
19:49Assuming...
19:50The hell with assuming.
19:52I want my child.
20:02I want my child.
20:09I want my child.
20:27The poor little house.
20:28Highland, the poor little house.
20:29No, no, no.
20:30Oh, no, no.

36:40i'm a private inquiry agent mr hazel was working on my instructions

37:02there was another woman in the ward who had a baby on the same day
37:05and mrs gunning everything about gregory his suit accent fingernails seemed totally wrong for that
37:13room one hour of forcing the gregory's of this country to live like the abri's and we'd have
37:18the biggest wave of progress since children was rescued from the coal mines the position is mrs
37:22gunning has instructed us to take all possible steps to have her child patricia restored to her
37:30what steps exactly there's not a great deal of legal precedent but in the last resort she can claim
37:37care and custody of the child in court of course uh what the judge may decide
37:44judge call legal president i know how this must sound to you but i wouldn't have come here unless i
37:50was convinced mrs gunning has a case what case i mean all she knows you dirty bastard you dirty rotten

49:05Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!
49:31So, that was it. Did I do the right thing? Who knows?
49:38In the end, it would all go down to Georgina's guilt.
49:42And the baby switch? Just to upset Mother's crazy fantasy.
49:48Only I knew the truth. I'd torn up Nurse Donaldson's notebooks.
49:53But how could I tear up the memory of what was in them?
49:56Oh yeah, she'd switch the babies all right.
49:59Her way of getting back at a world that hated her.
50:04Mothers and babies.
50:07Give me villains any time. They're kind of scars you can boast about.
50:11You were born one morning, woke up where the ceiling fell.
50:19Born one morning, woke up where the ceiling fell.
50:25You learned everything you know in six days. On the seventh day you knew it very well.
50:34You trusted pretty women. A pretty woman had you tied and bound.
50:40You trusted in the bottle. But in the end that bottle got you down.
50:49You've tried everything that's going. But leave it all to faith this time around.
50:56You've been down so long it looks like her. Ain't that a shame?
51:05Down so long it looks like her. Ain't that a shame?
51:11You know your life might change tomorrow. And then again it might stay just about the same.
51:44You've been down so long it might not be a shame.
