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