0:00:02 > 0:00:04- You're going to sea?- Me and the boys reckon anything

0:00:04 > 0:00:06is better than being stuck in this place.

0:00:06 > 0:00:09Tonight, and Gideon is coming with us.

0:00:11 > 0:00:14Mathias, I'll see you around.

0:00:14 > 0:00:16Not if I see you first.

0:00:16 > 0:00:18We have a thief in our midst.

0:00:18 > 0:00:21Tomorrow is mine and Gid's borrowed birthday. I have to see him.

0:00:22 > 0:00:26- Oh, it rather looks like we've found our thief.- Mathias?

0:00:40 > 0:00:41DOOR UNLOCKING

0:00:52 > 0:00:53HE BREATHES HEAVILY

0:01:06 > 0:01:11- HETTY:- 'No-one had seen Mathias since the night he returned.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13'Which made everyone nervous.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16'Hardly surprising where Matron was concerned.'

0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Where's Mathias? - Has to be the tench.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24BELL RINGS

0:01:24 > 0:01:27Boys, as soon as you are finished, straight back to your classrooms

0:01:27 > 0:01:29and start packing for the delivery.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35'What had she done with Mathias?

0:01:37 > 0:01:40'And more importantly, what did she have planned?'

0:01:40 > 0:01:42MUSIC: Hetty Feather Theme

0:02:16 > 0:02:22You did a terrible thing, Mathias, running away from the hospital.

0:02:27 > 0:02:31- Am I going to be punished? - Well, that all depends, doesn't it?

0:02:31 > 0:02:32On what, Matron?

0:02:32 > 0:02:37You understand, don't you, why we have such strict rules, Mathias?

0:02:37 > 0:02:40The outside world is cruel.

0:02:40 > 0:02:44Until you are prepared for it, it is my duty to protect you from it.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46The rules are there to keep you safe.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53Perhaps your lesson has already been learned. After all, you came back,

0:02:53 > 0:02:55all by yourself.

0:02:58 > 0:02:59Hmm.

0:03:01 > 0:03:02I will not punish you.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05So long as you do not give me cause again.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07I won't, Matron.

0:03:08 > 0:03:12You are well liked, aren't you? You have a lot of friends.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14Hmm?

0:03:14 > 0:03:18Well, from now on, if you so much as sense any mischief,

0:03:18 > 0:03:21from any one of them, I want you to tell me.

0:03:25 > 0:03:26Rather than punish you,

0:03:26 > 0:03:30I am trusting you to maintain order, Mathias.

0:03:31 > 0:03:32To be a better influence.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35I would hate to have to change my mind.

0:03:38 > 0:03:39Go ahead.

0:03:42 > 0:03:43KNOCKING

0:03:43 > 0:03:44Yes?

0:03:48 > 0:03:51Matron, Mr Cooper will be here within the hour.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Thank you. Take Mathias to his classroom, please.

0:03:54 > 0:03:58- His classroom?- Yes. Keep a close watch on him for me.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27Mathias. Mathias. Over here.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Come. Over here, come!

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Mathias.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43I wish I could see Mathias, just to make sure he's all right.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46He's got the boys. They'll be looking out for him.

0:04:46 > 0:04:50You wouldn't get near him. Matron's all over him like the pox.

0:04:50 > 0:04:51You think she's punishing him?

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Obviously. He ran away.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56But he looks awful.

0:04:56 > 0:04:57He's probably already in the tench.

0:04:57 > 0:04:58What would you know?

0:04:58 > 0:05:01- More than you. I caught him. - You snitched on him!

0:05:01 > 0:05:04- He was stealing.- And you're just sucking up to Matron.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07You're jealous because Matron trusts me and not you.

0:05:07 > 0:05:11No, she doesn't. You just follow her around like a toady poo-fly.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14Sheila! Take the crate and leave it by the storeroom.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17- That's not fair! Hetty called me...- Now!

0:05:26 > 0:05:29Mathias, take this crate and come with me.

0:05:29 > 0:05:33I need another volunteer for Mr Cooper's delivery. Anyone?

0:05:47 > 0:05:50'Mr Cooper came to the Hospital every month.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52'He'd take all the stuff from our lessons

0:05:52 > 0:05:54'and deliver it to whichever charity the Governors picked.

0:05:54 > 0:05:58'But this visit was different. Matron and Cooper had joined forces

0:05:58 > 0:06:01'and were plotting to suppress their greed.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03'We would build toys for them to sell on to a department store.'

0:06:03 > 0:06:05What are you doing here?

0:06:05 > 0:06:09Nurse Macclesfield asked me to bring our crate down here, sir.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11The store's usual supplier is sick.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13We're doing them a favour, we get extra.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16If it goes well, we could become the new supplier.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28- So, if we play our cards right...- Oh.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Just a few late additions.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32Ah, reliable old Cranbourne

0:06:32 > 0:06:33Boys, take those up to the yard. Come on!

0:06:33 > 0:06:35Business booming, Cooper?

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Bursting my eardrums.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40I'll get them started, Gertrude.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43- Cranbourne, take her take back to her classroom.- Yes, MATRON

0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Matron, can I stay and help?- No!

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Don't put them in yet, just leave them there.

0:06:57 > 0:07:01Your lot just have to build the toys. I'll handle the sale.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05Mr Cooper, do I still get my two-thirds of the money?

0:07:05 > 0:07:09The department store's offering us £20 for the lot.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12Plenty of pennies to go around, I assure you.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14Are you all right?

0:07:14 > 0:07:17- If you ever want to talk about...- I don't.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21We're worried. We just...

0:07:21 > 0:07:23We want to know what happened.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25No, you don't.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Boys, when you've finished that,

0:07:28 > 0:07:31unload the materials from Mr Cooper's cart.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33- Yes?- Yes, Matron.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Your governors haven't got a clue what kind of opportunities

0:07:54 > 0:07:55they're missing out on.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Giving all this to charity?

0:07:57 > 0:08:00You've got yourself quite a little workforce here.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03Indeed, I will keep my end of the bargain, you keep yours.

0:08:11 > 0:08:14What are you doing?!

0:08:15 > 0:08:17- Say you dropped it.- What?

0:08:19 > 0:08:20Have you got feet for hands, boy?

0:08:22 > 0:08:23Pick them up.

0:08:43 > 0:08:47- What were you doing?! - Investigating.- What?

0:08:47 > 0:08:50I saw Matron and Cooper sign something,

0:08:50 > 0:08:52so I wanted to take a look.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54They're not giving the toys to charity.

0:08:54 > 0:08:59- They're selling them and using us for labour!- So, what?

0:08:59 > 0:09:03So, what?! Matron's making us work for money!

0:09:03 > 0:09:04That's illegal!

0:09:04 > 0:09:06We can't let her get away with it!

0:09:08 > 0:09:09Yeah, we can.

0:09:09 > 0:09:13What's wrong? What's Matron said?

0:09:13 > 0:09:17Nothing! Just leave me alone and stop sticking your nose in!

0:09:23 > 0:09:26'Whatever Mathias said, what Matron was doing was wrong.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29'And she wasn't going to stop.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31'Not unless we did something to stop her.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38'Matron told us the Governors were

0:09:38 > 0:09:41'concerned by our lack of discipline after the escape.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43'So concerned that they set us

0:09:43 > 0:09:47'a task to build 100 toys for charity by tomorrow afternoon.

0:09:47 > 0:09:51'Matron said the hospital relied on the Governors to survive.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54'If we let them down, it was the tench.'

0:09:57 > 0:10:00- I'm dying.- No, you're not.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03'Gideon called a meeting that night.'

0:10:04 > 0:10:06I suspected something was up.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08She's using us as slaves.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11So, what are we going to do? We have to do something.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13We've got to stop the sale somehow,

0:10:13 > 0:10:16- so Matron and Cooper can't do it again.- How?

0:10:16 > 0:10:17COUGHING

0:10:17 > 0:10:19We should sabotage the toys.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21Sabotage? Are you nuts?

0:10:21 > 0:10:22If they don't work, Matron can't sell them.

0:10:22 > 0:10:26Macclesfield checks everything before it leaves the classroom.

0:10:26 > 0:10:27So does Cranbourne.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30But everything's taken to the storeroom after, right?

0:10:30 > 0:10:34So, we'll do it in there, start of break, before Cooper gets back.

0:10:34 > 0:10:38- How are we going to get in? - I'm still working on that.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41What's to stop Matron punishing us when she sees the toys are broken?

0:10:41 > 0:10:44- We can't let Matron scare us! - Well, she does!

0:10:45 > 0:10:47You know what she's capable of.

0:10:48 > 0:10:52'So, we had a plan. To sabotage the toys, all we had to do was

0:10:52 > 0:10:56'work out how to get into the toy storeroom before Cooper came back.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58'But then things changed.'

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Walter? Walter? Walter?!

0:11:09 > 0:11:11COUGHING

0:11:14 > 0:11:16COUGHING

0:11:20 > 0:11:21COUGHING

0:11:26 > 0:11:28COUGHING

0:11:30 > 0:11:35- Matron, could I have a word? - I want those children back to work.

0:11:35 > 0:11:37I think the paint might be making the foundlings sick.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40Then perhaps we should postpone the work, inform the Governors that...

0:11:40 > 0:11:43What evidence do you have to uphold this ridiculous claim?

0:11:45 > 0:11:47If they can walk, they can work.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51- So, it isn't a bug, then? - We've got to stick to the plan,

0:11:51 > 0:11:53or everyone's going to get sick.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02- Gertrude, please?- It is Matron.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05I know you're trying to mend things between yourself and the Governors,

0:12:05 > 0:12:08but they will only come down harder if the children fall ill!

0:12:08 > 0:12:12- They want discipline, not disease. - This is not about the children.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15The Governors are testing us. If we do not do as they ask,

0:12:15 > 0:12:19our positions may be forfeit.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21I am also to report any failings in my staff that may be

0:12:21 > 0:12:24the cause of the children's ill discipline.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26Will that be necessary?

0:12:27 > 0:12:29No, Matron.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39Nurse, can I take Monica to the infirmary?

0:12:39 > 0:12:40Yes, of course -

0:12:40 > 0:12:44when we've finished. Sit down!

0:12:48 > 0:12:53I heard that Winterson told Macclesfield that it was the paint.

0:12:53 > 0:12:54Is Walter going to be all right?

0:12:54 > 0:12:57So long as he's not painting jack-in-the-boxes.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00Right. Let's stick to the plan.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03All right. What about the boys?

0:13:03 > 0:13:06- There's no time to tell them. - How do we get into the storeroom?

0:13:06 > 0:13:09I'll make some kind of...

0:13:09 > 0:13:12lock pick. Worst comes to the worst, we don't get in.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14But we've got to try.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21Sheila, am I your best friend?

0:13:24 > 0:13:26What do you want?

0:13:26 > 0:13:28You'll never guess what Hetty is up to.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35Ned. Gideon.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39Mathias, run these remaining boxes down to the storeroom, please.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41Take Ned and Gideon with you.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43When you're done, make sure you return the key to Matron.

0:13:45 > 0:13:46Yes, sir.

0:14:25 > 0:14:26Mathias.

0:14:28 > 0:14:29Get off!

0:14:29 > 0:14:32I'm sorry I was nasty. You were right.

0:14:32 > 0:14:33We'll keep our noses out.

0:14:44 > 0:14:45I taught you that one, you idiot.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47- I just want... - What are you playing at?

0:14:50 > 0:14:52We're going to sneak into the storage room.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54We're going to sabotage the toys.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56- What?- I told you we weren't just going to sit round!

0:14:56 > 0:14:58And I told you to leave me out of it!

0:14:58 > 0:15:01Cranbourne trusted me! After everything that...

0:15:01 > 0:15:03And you were only going to get me into trouble!

0:15:03 > 0:15:05No, we weren't. That's why we weren't going to tell you.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08I had the keys, I'd get the blame for whatever happened!

0:15:08 > 0:15:11Only if we get caught. Don't you trust us any more?

0:15:14 > 0:15:18Please, Mathias, we only need them for 15 minutes. No-one will know.

0:15:18 > 0:15:19You don't understand.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21I can't.

0:15:27 > 0:15:28KNOCKING

0:15:30 > 0:15:32Yes?

0:15:32 > 0:15:34Mathias. I was hoping to see you.

0:15:37 > 0:15:38Keys, Matron.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43Sit down.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49Someone told me that Ned and Gideon were out of bed last night.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51For approximately half an hour.

0:15:51 > 0:15:56Now, allegedly they were escorting Walter to the infirmary,

0:15:56 > 0:15:58but Nurse Winterson tells me they were only with her

0:15:58 > 0:16:01for one or two minutes.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03So, you can understand my confusion.

0:16:05 > 0:16:11Remember what we said? About hiding misbehaviour from me, Mathias.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15Mr Grace's will not seem so terrible.

0:16:17 > 0:16:21I will be lenient, so long as you continue to do the RIGHT thing.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24Matron, they...

0:16:24 > 0:16:27- KNOCKING Not now!- Matron, I'm sorry Matron.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29Hetty and her friends are breaking into the storeroom.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32- They want to sabotage the toys! - Don't be ridiculous.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34There are boys with them.

0:16:36 > 0:16:38You knew about this.

0:16:38 > 0:16:43No! No-one's in the storeroom. I was just there! I gave you the keys!

0:16:43 > 0:16:46If I find you are lying, you and your friends will pay the price.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48Matron, wait! I should never have run away!

0:16:48 > 0:16:52- Mathias, get off!- I'm sorry. - All right! Enough!

0:16:52 > 0:16:55I would never lie to you, Matron. I've learned my lesson.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58I swear. Please don't punish me, please.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00Go back to your dorm, Mathias. Go on.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32- You're a genius!- I know!

0:17:36 > 0:17:39There's a lot of them.

0:17:39 > 0:17:40Any ideas, then?

0:17:43 > 0:17:44Brilliant.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54Let's get a move on, before Cooper gets here.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56Keep an eye out for Matron.

0:18:29 > 0:18:30There's someone coming!

0:18:41 > 0:18:42Maybe they're inside already.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56Who's in there?!

0:19:03 > 0:19:06Come out! This instant!

0:19:08 > 0:19:10You wait here. Make sure nobody leaves!

0:19:17 > 0:19:20Got you now, Feather.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38- Mr Cranbourne, I need your keys to the storeroom.- Why?

0:19:38 > 0:19:40- The children have broken in.- What?!

0:19:40 > 0:19:42Just give them to me!

0:19:50 > 0:19:52We're done for.

0:20:11 > 0:20:12Anyone need a way out?

0:20:26 > 0:20:27Sh.

0:20:30 > 0:20:31(Go.)

0:20:42 > 0:20:46- Matron, I...- Quiet! You will regret spreading lies about Feather.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49But, Matron, I swear, she...

0:20:49 > 0:20:51KNOCKING

0:20:51 > 0:20:53Yes?

0:21:01 > 0:21:03Thanks.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05It wasn't anything.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11Want to see something good?

0:21:17 > 0:21:19Oh. Good Afternoon, Mr Cooper!

0:21:19 > 0:21:22The store's usual toymaker is out for the count.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24The damned paint, apparently.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26Repeat business for us!

0:21:29 > 0:21:30You, load that cart.

0:21:36 > 0:21:37Sorry, Matron.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46Well, there's always one, isn't there? It's ju...

0:21:54 > 0:21:58- It was Hetty, Matron. It was Hetty. - What?!

0:21:58 > 0:22:01- What good are these? They're all broken!- The children.

0:22:01 > 0:22:05They're trying to undermine me, they are trying to sabotage our...

0:22:05 > 0:22:07Why would they do such a thing?

0:22:09 > 0:22:13It was him! His materials were faulty! Paint and all!

0:22:13 > 0:22:16He probably bought the lot off some beggar!

0:22:16 > 0:22:17Are you going to let him talk to me like that?

0:22:17 > 0:22:21Go! Before I report you to the police, charlatan.

0:22:22 > 0:22:23Isn't that RIGHT, Matron?

0:22:30 > 0:22:31Guess this is goodbye, then...

0:22:32 > 0:22:34..Gertrude.

0:22:34 > 0:22:35It's Matron!

0:22:40 > 0:22:42Get out. Now!

0:22:47 > 0:22:51They will be punished. They will all be punished.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53I shall speak to the Governors,

0:22:53 > 0:22:56I shall explain that you did your best,

0:22:56 > 0:23:00but they allowed this unsavoury man to exploit our hospital.

0:23:00 > 0:23:04This was down to them. Not you, and certainly not the children.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07No! No! No! No! I'll speak with them.

0:23:07 > 0:23:12Very well. But they will not want the children punished, Matron.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16Not if they hear what Cooper did to them.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29That's it. Straight up to the top of the stairs.

0:23:38 > 0:23:39Are you impressed, then?

0:23:48 > 0:23:51Sorry I didn't help sooner. It wasn't that I didn't trust you.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56Matron said

0:23:56 > 0:24:00if I caused trouble or if I didn't rat on my friends,

0:24:00 > 0:24:01I'd be punished.

0:24:03 > 0:24:04You should've told us.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12What made you change your mind?

0:24:14 > 0:24:18Sheila dobbed you in to Matron for breaking into the storeroom.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23I only know cos I'd gone to do the same.

0:24:24 > 0:24:29But then I realised, I'd rather be in the tench with you lot than...

0:24:29 > 0:24:31be like Sheila.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45Mr Grace was going to sell us abroad.

0:24:45 > 0:24:49I tried to get us out, but Jack and Arthur got caught.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53I thought...

0:24:54 > 0:24:56there was nothing I could do so...

0:24:57 > 0:24:58I left them.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00Now I can't help thinking...

0:25:02 > 0:25:04..what if there was something I could?

0:25:08 > 0:25:11- It was just too... - Mathias, it wasn't your fault.

0:25:12 > 0:25:14People always tell us to do what grown-ups say,

0:25:14 > 0:25:16because they know best. But they don't.

0:25:16 > 0:25:18We've got to trust our guts.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21Not sure I trust my gut any more.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24Well, I do, you're the bravest person I know.

0:25:32 > 0:25:34I'm glad you're back, Mathias.

0:25:34 > 0:25:35So am I.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42'People don't just spring back together like jack-in-the-boxes.

0:25:42 > 0:25:46'Sometimes...people get broken.

0:26:05 > 0:26:08'People don't stay broken forever.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10'However long it takes,

0:26:10 > 0:26:11'no matter what,

0:26:11 > 0:26:14'they'll always bounce back.'

0:26:17 > 0:26:18OWL HOOTS

0:26:21 > 0:26:24'Our plan might not have gone to, well, plan.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27'But with Mathias back, we felt unstoppable.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34'So long as we had each other, and the tower...

0:26:37 > 0:26:39'..there was no game Matron could play that we couldn't win.'

0:26:46 > 0:26:48Eliza?

0:26:48 > 0:26:50How do you know my name?

0:26:50 > 0:26:51She's dying, Gertie.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53That concerns me how?

0:26:53 > 0:26:56When you grow up, I'll be waiting for you.

0:26:56 > 0:26:57You promise?

0:26:57 > 0:27:01You're my borrowed sister. I'll never forget you.

0:27:01 > 0:27:02Gid! Get out of here. It's too dangerous.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04Why didn't you come to the tower last night?

0:27:04 > 0:27:08Matron, please, you can't! I'll do anything. Matron, please!

0:27:08 > 0:27:10It's too late.

0:27:11 > 0:27:12Hello, Hetty.
