0:00:02 > 0:00:03Now look what you've done!

0:00:03 > 0:00:06Donations for the hospital.

0:00:10 > 0:00:13Recent events are causing concern, Matron.

0:00:13 > 0:00:15This whole thing's all about family.

0:00:15 > 0:00:18That's what Hetty cares about more than anything.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30'Sundays at the Foundling Hospital were different from other days.'

0:00:35 > 0:00:38Then the King answered and said,

0:00:38 > 0:00:44"Give her the living child and in no wise slay it.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46"She is the mother thereof."

0:00:46 > 0:00:50'But still every Sunday was the same as every other Sunday.'

0:00:50 > 0:00:52"..was in him to do judgment."

0:00:54 > 0:00:55'Until this one.'

0:00:57 > 0:01:01You there! This chapel is not open to members of the public.

0:01:01 > 0:01:05I'm Hannah Prestwick. This is my husband, Arthur.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07We've come for our child.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12All these children belong to the hospital.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14If you wish to appeal to the Board of Governors,

0:01:14 > 0:01:16make a written request.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19We did. You never replied.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21We won't be put off.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24We've come all the way from Burnley for this.

0:01:24 > 0:01:28These people have travelled so far. Surely we should hear their case?

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Well said, Lady Asquith.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33- Who's she? - One of the governors' wives.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36Join us in the Governor's Room after lunch,

0:01:36 > 0:01:38we'll get to the bottom of it there.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41'One of us foundlings was going to be claimed

0:01:41 > 0:01:44'and leave the hospital for ever. Could it be me?'

0:02:16 > 0:02:20Did you see his hair? It was as red as...

0:02:20 > 0:02:22As red as yours

0:02:22 > 0:02:26It won't be Feather - as if anyone would want THAT back.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29Well, it certainly won't be you, they were both human.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32It's probably a boy, anyway. They get all the luck.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34Maybe they'll take that little weed you call your brother.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37He is my brother, and he's not a weed.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41Imagine if they took him away and you never saw him again.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43I'd be glad!

0:02:43 > 0:02:45I want him to be happy, because I love him.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48You wouldn't understand - you don't have a brother.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51- You've never even had a real friend. - I've got friends!

0:02:51 > 0:02:54They're not friends. They don't even like you.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56- They're just afraid of you.- Liar!

0:02:56 > 0:02:59'I didn't care what Sheila thought.

0:02:59 > 0:03:03'I just wanted to find out who those people in the chapel had come for.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06'Somehow, I had to get into that governors' meeting.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08'Now is my chance.'

0:03:08 > 0:03:10SHE COUGHS Are you quite well, my dear?

0:03:10 > 0:03:14- Hetty Feather, what on earth is wrong?- Need...the privy.

0:03:14 > 0:03:18- Well, go, child, quickly! - Matron? Need permission.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20Well, yes, of course, you...

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Of course, you must go!

0:03:33 > 0:03:35'I was in.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40'So this was the governor's office.'

0:03:47 > 0:03:49OUTSIDE ROOM: It is just this way, everyone.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51'I just had to hide and wait.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55'In the next few minutes, I would discover what my future would be.'

0:03:55 > 0:03:59From the moment we met, we knew we wanted to get married.

0:03:59 > 0:04:04- Then why didn't you?- I was poor, and Hannah deserved better.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07I went to America to make something of myself.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09- You abandoned her.- Never.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13He didn't know about the baby.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Nor did I, until...

0:04:15 > 0:04:18You were very young. It must have been a great shock.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Yes.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22They said she was my shame,

0:04:22 > 0:04:25but she was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.

0:04:25 > 0:04:30I longed to keep her, but after she was born,

0:04:30 > 0:04:34I was so ill, I thought I'd die, and then she would have no-one.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38That's when I heard of this place.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41God forgive me,

0:04:41 > 0:04:43I paid a man to bring her here.

0:04:45 > 0:04:49- When was this?- August, 1876.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52'That was about the time I was admitted.'

0:04:52 > 0:04:55And what token did you leave with her?

0:04:55 > 0:04:57A thimble...

0:04:57 > 0:05:00with a letter scratched on the inside - E for Emily.

0:05:00 > 0:05:04'All us foundlings were all given new names when we were babies.

0:05:04 > 0:05:08'We could only be identified by the tokens our parents left with us.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10'But we never saw the tokens.'

0:05:10 > 0:05:13Matron, would you be so good

0:05:13 > 0:05:17as to go and retrieve the child's admission documents?

0:05:17 > 0:05:20These people are hardly fit parents.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23Surely that is for the governors to decide?

0:05:23 > 0:05:25As you wish.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29BELL TOLLS

0:05:29 > 0:05:31'Meanwhile, Sheila was still determined to get me back

0:05:31 > 0:05:34'about our argument in the dinner hall.'

0:05:34 > 0:05:36- I've got it.- Got what?

0:05:36 > 0:05:39A way to get Hetty and her so-called brother.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48That's enough! Scarper!

0:05:48 > 0:05:51- What do you want?- Your help.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53What?

0:05:53 > 0:05:56Matron! Mary stole a pie from the kitchen!

0:05:56 > 0:05:58Look, there's crumbs all over her bed.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01Throw her in the tench, Matron!

0:06:01 > 0:06:02Ooh, she doesn't like that word.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05Tench, tench, tench.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Stop it! Stop it! I'll do whatever you want!

0:06:07 > 0:06:10I need you to find out everything you can about your friend,

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Hetty Feather, and her brother.

0:06:17 > 0:06:21It was August, 1876?

0:06:21 > 0:06:24- A thimble with the letter E?- Yes.

0:06:24 > 0:06:29- I'm sorry, there is no such record. - I don't understand.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Matron, how could this have happened?

0:06:31 > 0:06:33In the usual way -

0:06:33 > 0:06:35the man you paid to bring the child here

0:06:35 > 0:06:39- took the money and abandoned her. We hear of this quite often.- No!

0:06:39 > 0:06:42Can you please check again?

0:06:42 > 0:06:45I have searched the whole of August and September.

0:06:45 > 0:06:49Your daughter was never admitted to this establishment.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51I'm so sorry, my dear.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56'How could that be true?'

0:07:00 > 0:07:03Dirty clothes in the washing baskets tonight.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05If anyone leaves them on the floor,

0:07:05 > 0:07:07gets reported straight to Cranbourne.

0:07:11 > 0:07:1322782.

0:07:15 > 0:07:1724734.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21What's that?

0:07:25 > 0:07:28- "To my son..."- Give it here!

0:07:28 > 0:07:30Leave it.

0:07:32 > 0:07:36"They told me you were dead, but I know they are mistaken.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39"As soon as I saw your dear face in the chapel today,

0:07:39 > 0:07:42"I knew that you were my own beloved child."

0:07:42 > 0:07:45What?

0:07:45 > 0:07:47"I loved your father dearly.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50"But he was a mere servant and he died soon after you were born.

0:07:50 > 0:07:55"To my shame, I had to give you up to the Foundling Hospital.

0:07:55 > 0:07:59"But now I have married a kind man who wants to raise you as his own.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01"If you are indeed my son, George,

0:08:01 > 0:08:04"you were left at the hospital in 1876.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07"And if you have a birthmark above your right elbow,

0:08:07 > 0:08:08"it removes all doubt.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11"Identify yourself at the next governors' meeting

0:08:11 > 0:08:13"and we will be together for ever."

0:08:13 > 0:08:15She can't be my mother.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Can she?

0:08:17 > 0:08:20- It's a hoax.- The date's right. And...

0:08:20 > 0:08:23HE SIGHS

0:08:26 > 0:08:29- I have to go to the governors. - ALL: No!- Not the governors!

0:08:29 > 0:08:31You can't trust a toff!

0:08:31 > 0:08:34- There's only one way out of here. - Over the wall.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Gid, you know the first rule of running.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38You have to have somewhere to run to.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40And I do - my mother.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43You're going nowhere, Smeed.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Leave him alone. - If he runs, we all get punished.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49So what? We can take it.

0:08:49 > 0:08:54Anyone who tells you to stay is nothing but a stinking coward.

0:08:54 > 0:08:55- Shall I hit him?- Not now.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00If Smeed's fool enough to try, make the arrangements.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07'When the Prestwicks left,

0:09:07 > 0:09:10'Lady Asquith started asking awkward questions.'

0:09:10 > 0:09:14It has come to my attention that some of our foundlings

0:09:14 > 0:09:16have been placed in unsuitable apprenticeships.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18In what way unsuitable?

0:09:18 > 0:09:20I have heard reports of ill treatment.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24Children starved, beaten, worked like slaves.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27Impossible! Every apprenticeship is personally approved

0:09:27 > 0:09:31by myself and Matron Bottomly.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34Then perhaps that is the problem.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36What are you implying?

0:09:36 > 0:09:40I am concerned that your regime is unnecessarily harsh.

0:09:40 > 0:09:45These innocent children need kindness and love.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49These are not children as you know them.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51They are depraved, born of sin.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54It is our Christian duty to educate them.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57Then perhaps you could also educate me?

0:09:57 > 0:09:59In what way, Lady Asquith?

0:09:59 > 0:10:01I should like to observe your management of the girls

0:10:01 > 0:10:03at first hand.

0:10:03 > 0:10:07You intend to snoop around my establishment?

0:10:07 > 0:10:10Lady Asquith has most graciously offered to help.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12I see no reason to object.

0:10:12 > 0:10:17Quite so. Lady Asquith's dedication puts us all to shame.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21I am minded to carry out a similar inspection of the boys' wing.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28If you would like to come this way,

0:10:28 > 0:10:31Matron said that I should show you the laundry, m'lady.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33- It's very modern, very hygienic. - I'm sure.

0:10:33 > 0:10:37- But first I should like to speak to the girls themselves.- Oh, no.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39What makes you think that Matron's lying?

0:10:39 > 0:10:42- I don't know, I've just got a feeling.- Girls?

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Yes, m'lady?

0:10:46 > 0:10:48I wish to ask you... are you happy here?

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Yes, m'lady.

0:10:56 > 0:10:57Hetty Feather...

0:10:57 > 0:10:59answer Lady Asquith.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02Yes, m'lady.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05Shall we move on to the laundry, m'lady?

0:11:08 > 0:11:11Even if there's a tiny chance they're my parents,

0:11:11 > 0:11:14I have to do something about it...

0:11:14 > 0:11:16- don't I? - If Matron's lied to the governors,

0:11:16 > 0:11:19she won't have left the evidence lying around for someone to find.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22So, what do you think she's done with it?

0:11:22 > 0:11:23She probably burnt it.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34- What is it? - If you please, Matron,

0:11:34 > 0:11:37that lady governor is asking questions of the girls.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40- What should we do, Matron? - Nothing. Where is she?

0:11:40 > 0:11:42In the recreation yard, Matron.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49(Hetty, come on! Quick! Quick!)

0:12:00 > 0:12:05'It looked like matron had been burning papers.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08'And then I saw it - a thimble.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12'Could it be my thimble?'

0:12:18 > 0:12:20That's definitely an E.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22This is Emily's thimble.

0:12:22 > 0:12:25So it's true - Matron lied.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28- But why?- Look at this,

0:12:28 > 0:12:31"Thank you for once again

0:12:31 > 0:12:34"for supporting my application to the governors.

0:12:34 > 0:12:38"I enclose our customary remuneration."

0:12:38 > 0:12:40- What does that mean?- Money. Payment.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45- It's from Mr Brunsdon. - Brutal Brunsdon?

0:12:45 > 0:12:47He works his apprentices to death.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50But Matron still sends him foundlings.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52Because he pays her.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54She's selling apprentices.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57That's why she didn't tell my parents that I was here.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00- She wants to sell me. - We have to stop this.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03- How?- They may not listen to foundlings...

0:13:03 > 0:13:05but they might listen to Emily Prestwick.

0:13:05 > 0:13:09- We don't know who she is. - We can find out.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12We're all numbered in order.

0:13:12 > 0:13:16Of course! There'll be a gap in the records for 1876.

0:13:16 > 0:13:20Tomorrow, you come with me and we'll check the records office.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06(Time to go.)

0:14:09 > 0:14:11(Good luck, Smeed!)

0:14:16 > 0:14:19Thank you...for everything.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22Remember...for all of us.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24Right.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46Look out! Cranbourne's on the prowl! We've got to hide!

0:14:50 > 0:14:52Oi! Let us out!

0:14:52 > 0:14:56Vince! It's not funny, Vince! THEY SHOUT

0:14:56 > 0:14:59Be quiet. We'll let you out in the morning.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02But if you ever try and run again,

0:15:02 > 0:15:05I'll break your legs.

0:15:05 > 0:15:09- Vince!- Come on, let's go. - Vince!- Come back!

0:15:10 > 0:15:14BELL TOLLS

0:15:24 > 0:15:29- Smeed? Grig?- Still asleep.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31Unlock it.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37Open it, then!

0:15:37 > 0:15:40- Ow!- Get off!

0:15:40 > 0:15:44THEY SHOUT OVER ONE ANOTHER

0:15:44 > 0:15:50Oi! Fighting? On a day like this! What would the governors think?

0:15:50 > 0:15:53- Sir, I saw them breaking into the cupboard, sir!- It was me!

0:15:53 > 0:15:55Come here. Come with me.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11THEY MUTTER ANGRILY

0:16:11 > 0:16:14- GIRL SCREAMS - What is it?

0:16:14 > 0:16:18- Something moved in there. - It's probably a mouse.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20It's a rat.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22A big one.

0:16:22 > 0:16:23Help me get rid of it.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42- Mathias, you took a risk. - I knew you was on laundry today.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44- Yeah, but...- I had to.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46Gid's in trouble.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49Matron gave him the strap and he's on punishment duty all week.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51- No!- What? Why?- Cos of this.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56What do you think?

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Is it for real?

0:16:58 > 0:16:59Of course not!

0:16:59 > 0:17:02The Prestwicks are looking for a girl.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04Somebody's playing a cruel joke on Gideon.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07But there are things in that letter that nobody knows about him.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10- Except me.- And us.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13Hetty told us all about her foster family.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17That's why she wanted to know!

0:17:17 > 0:17:19Who wanted to know?

0:17:24 > 0:17:26YOU! You wrote this!

0:17:26 > 0:17:28I... I... I had to...

0:17:28 > 0:17:31Yes! I knew it! He fell for it!

0:17:31 > 0:17:34- How could you? Gideon never hurt anyone.- I'm sorry.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38They made me.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40Enjoy your new friends.

0:17:40 > 0:17:41You deserve each other.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48- You can't go now.- I have to.

0:17:48 > 0:17:49But we've got sewing class.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52I have to find out the truth, and prove it to Gideon.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55And then maybe the Prestwicks will take him and me!

0:17:55 > 0:17:57If you are Emily Prestwick.

0:17:57 > 0:18:00'There was only one way to find out.'

0:18:19 > 0:18:22'1876.

0:18:29 > 0:18:34'25621 is missing. That must be Emily's number.

0:18:34 > 0:18:39'25621? Now I knew the truth.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42'I knew who the real Emily was.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44'And I wish I didn't.'

0:18:44 > 0:18:47- OUTSIDE ROOM:- We must make sure that all the records are in order

0:18:47 > 0:18:49for the inspection.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55Macclesfield, check the girls' employment files,

0:18:55 > 0:18:58I will order Cranbourne to check the boys'.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06Colonel Brigwell is coming tomorrow.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08It's a great inconvenience.

0:19:08 > 0:19:09But no more than that.

0:19:09 > 0:19:12I'm sure he can find no fault in our management.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14- KNOCKING ON DOOR - Enter.

0:19:19 > 0:19:23If you please, Matron Bottomly, Mr Cranbourne,

0:19:23 > 0:19:26I have heard that my foster brother, Gideon, is in trouble.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Who told you that? - The kitchen maids gossip, sir.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34I was shocked to hear of his violence and ingratitude.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36I thought perhaps some sisterly guidance?

0:19:36 > 0:19:38Out of the question.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41You know this establishment forbids fraternisation

0:19:41 > 0:19:42between male and female.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48Most of the time, Matron, most of the time.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50But the influence of the gentler sex

0:19:50 > 0:19:53has shown to benefit the most hardened criminals.

0:20:03 > 0:20:04Hetty?

0:20:06 > 0:20:08Gideon... Gideon, what have you done?

0:20:11 > 0:20:14What would our dear foster mother say if she could see you now?

0:20:14 > 0:20:15I'm sorry, Hetty.

0:20:18 > 0:20:22- A most touching display of affection. - Hmm!

0:20:22 > 0:20:24Mr Cranbourne, about this...

0:20:24 > 0:20:26'I didn't want to shatter Gideon's dreams.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28'But he had to know the truth.'

0:20:28 > 0:20:31I should have known it was too good to be true.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33What an idiot.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35It's not your fault!

0:20:35 > 0:20:38It's the She-Mob and their horrible tricks.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40Our real parents are out there somewhere.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42And one day, we'll get out of here and go looking for them.

0:20:42 > 0:20:46- I promise. - What about the real Emily Prestwick?

0:20:46 > 0:20:50- What about her?- Don't you want to find out who she is?

0:20:50 > 0:20:54- I know who she is.- Who? - It doesn't matter.

0:20:54 > 0:20:57- She doesn't deserve to know the truth.- What about her parents?

0:20:57 > 0:20:59Don't you think they have a right to know?

0:21:25 > 0:21:27It's only me.

0:21:27 > 0:21:31- You need to have this.- Why?

0:21:32 > 0:21:34Because it's yours.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37You're Emily Prestwick.

0:21:37 > 0:21:41- And your parents want you back. - But how?

0:21:41 > 0:21:45- I can help you get out. I'll tell Mathias.- No, don't.

0:21:45 > 0:21:48If we get caught, we'll get thrown in the tench.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51But, Mary, this is your mother and father!

0:21:51 > 0:21:54You have to take the chance.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56Sorry, Hetty, I can't... I just can't.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24'I could see that Mary wasn't strong enough to help herself.

0:22:32 > 0:22:34'So it was all up to me.'

0:22:41 > 0:22:44If you please, ma'am? You dropped this.

0:22:44 > 0:22:45Your handkerchief.

0:22:47 > 0:22:50Ah, yes. Thank you, my dear.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02What is this very important information?

0:23:02 > 0:23:06Emily Prestwick is here...in this hospital.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08Her name is Mary Crane.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11- But Matron Bottomly said... - I know. She lied.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13- Why would she...?- She doesn't want to let any of us go

0:23:13 > 0:23:15because we're too valuable.

0:23:15 > 0:23:19She's selling foundlings into bad apprenticeships.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22- Selling foundlings?! - I've got the proof, look.

0:23:24 > 0:23:28'I'd done it. I'd actually beaten Matron!

0:23:31 > 0:23:33'Or so I thought.'

0:23:33 > 0:23:35You did well to tell me, Hetty. Come.

0:23:38 > 0:23:41This is indeed a happy outcome.

0:23:41 > 0:23:44- KNOCKING ON DOOR - Who is it?

0:23:44 > 0:23:47Colonel, I regret to inform you...

0:23:47 > 0:23:51- Matron Bottomly, I'm glad you are here.- As are we all!

0:23:51 > 0:23:56This woman is a great asset to the institution.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58Perhaps you will not think so shortly.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01I know that you two ladies have had your differences,

0:24:01 > 0:24:04but I think you'll change your mind when you hear about the donation.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07- What donation?- Several employers have been so impressed by our foundlings

0:24:07 > 0:24:08that they have made contributions

0:24:08 > 0:24:12to hospital funds as a token of their gratitude.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14- The money was for hospital funds? - Yes.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17And it comes to just under £50.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20£50?!

0:24:20 > 0:24:22She's lying!

0:24:22 > 0:24:25She wanted to keep that money for herself!

0:24:25 > 0:24:27Hetty?!

0:24:27 > 0:24:30Child, why would you tell such a wicked untruth?

0:24:30 > 0:24:32I found the letters.

0:24:32 > 0:24:33Show her!

0:24:35 > 0:24:36What are these letters?

0:24:36 > 0:24:41They spoke of payments from the foundlings' employers.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43It seemed as though someone was being bribed,

0:24:43 > 0:24:47but Matron Bottomly's explanation changes everything.

0:24:47 > 0:24:51She was merely accepting charitable donations for the hospital.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56Why would the child come up with such a story?

0:24:56 > 0:24:58Oh, this girl, Hetty Feather,

0:24:58 > 0:25:00she has a very bad character.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03I have often been compelled to chastise her -

0:25:03 > 0:25:05this must be her attempt at revenge.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08I assume the girl will be punished for her lies?

0:25:08 > 0:25:11Oh, yes.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13I have a plan in mind to deal with you, Hetty Feather.

0:25:15 > 0:25:20THEY SING A HYMN

0:25:20 > 0:25:23'By the time the next Sunday came around,

0:25:23 > 0:25:25'I was still waiting to find out what dreadful punishment

0:25:25 > 0:25:28'Matron had cooked up for me.

0:25:28 > 0:25:30'But I'd also learned a valuable lesson

0:25:30 > 0:25:33'about putting your trust in adults -

0:25:33 > 0:25:34'don't.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39'I soon learned another lesson -

0:25:39 > 0:25:41'never give up.'

0:25:43 > 0:25:45How dare you come back here?

0:25:45 > 0:25:47- You've been told...- Mother!

0:25:53 > 0:25:55Emily?

0:25:57 > 0:26:01- Why are you here? - We got your letter.

0:26:01 > 0:26:02My letter?

0:26:02 > 0:26:07Yes. The letter in which you explained you made a mistake.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10That I am foundling 25621, Emily Prestwick.

0:26:11 > 0:26:14- And this is my token. - Matron Bottomly?

0:26:17 > 0:26:20How was this allowed to happen?

0:26:20 > 0:26:22No-one is infallible.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26Not even Matron.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29The important thing is that the error has been corrected.

0:26:41 > 0:26:46- You sent that letter! You must have...- Yes.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48I didn't think you had that in you.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50I didn't, until you showed me how.

0:26:53 > 0:26:54Emily?

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Coming, Mother.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03'Mary Crane was a weak, lost soul.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05'But Emily Prestwick was magnificent.

0:27:18 > 0:27:22'Once you know who you really are, you can do anything.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25'And so I vowed to find out who Hetty Feather really was.'

0:27:30 > 0:27:35I declare the first ever open day officially open!

0:27:35 > 0:27:37- Hetty!- Mary!

0:27:37 > 0:27:38Gid, she's here.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40You really think she could be your mother?

0:27:40 > 0:27:42Hetty Feather, meet Charlotte Upton.

0:27:42 > 0:27:43They're horrid!

0:27:43 > 0:27:47Two tickets to the circus! We've got to bid. We have to win them!

0:27:47 > 0:27:49Going once, going twice...

0:27:50 > 0:27:53- You are going to India.- India?!
