0:00:02 > 0:00:04- Get off! This is my bed.- Eliza!
0:00:04 > 0:00:06- Your uncle is the Earl... - Of Venisley?
0:00:06 > 0:00:07Liar.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09No, you're the liar.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Hetty's my family. If you want jam, ask your own sister.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15So were your dear cousin not to return,
0:00:15 > 0:00:18the earldom would pass to you.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19You've got me.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22You're most kind.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38'As foundlings, we knew all about change.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41'All our lives we'd had it thrown at us.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45'Sometimes, just as we were getting settled,
0:00:45 > 0:00:48'things would pull us in a different direction.'
0:00:54 > 0:00:56- You're going to get through. - See you in the chapel.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01'But for Gideon, today was a chance to follow his own path
0:01:01 > 0:01:03'and change his life forever...'
0:01:09 > 0:01:10Thank you.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16'..and the day also brought a change that not even Matron
0:01:16 > 0:01:18'could see coming.'
0:01:21 > 0:01:23It is a private matter, I cannot say more.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Anything I can do to help?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Mr Cranbourne, I am leaving you in charge.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32There must be no interruption to the normal Sunday timetable.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35You can trust me, Matron.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40The hospital is in safe hands.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Good.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44But, Matron, my day off?
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Er, cancelled, I'm afraid.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Where's she going?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53It's not our place to speculate.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54Now, come along.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57I've got a hospital to run.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54(Where's Matron?)
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Matron's never normally late.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Where is she?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05She never misses Sunday service.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Do you think she's gone for good?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Eliza, you know the rules - you need to sit with the juniors.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Please can I stay with my sister?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Just this once.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- FAINTLY:- Welcome...
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- LOUDLY:- Welcome to our honoured guests.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49May I firstly apologise on behalf of Matron Bottomley,
0:03:49 > 0:03:50who...
0:03:50 > 0:03:53has been called away?
0:03:53 > 0:03:58And a very special welcome to Mr Melrose,
0:03:58 > 0:04:02who is here today to audition one of our best
0:04:02 > 0:04:04singers for a place
0:04:04 > 0:04:07at his school for choristers.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10So, the very best of luck to Gideon.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Sorry, sir.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35There's no need to be nervous, Gideon.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39Gid's going to be fine.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42You're right, thank you.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- Thank you.- Cranbourne's definitely hiding something.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Maybe Matron's been kidnapped.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Maybe she ran away to get married.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59That was mine!
0:04:59 > 0:05:00I'm saving this for Hetty!
0:05:00 > 0:05:03It's mine!
0:05:03 > 0:05:04THEY GASP
0:05:04 > 0:05:06SHE GASPS
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Enough. Stop that.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09She started it.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- No, I didn't.- She took my toffee.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Clara, I'll deal with you later.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Right, juniors, time to go.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20You're moving back into your own dormitory today.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Form an orderly line, please, at the door.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Have all the fleas gone?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27It was a minor situation.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30I don't want to go, Hetty.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Eliza, you have to.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40No more big sister for you.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45# When we walk with the Lord
0:05:45 > 0:05:47# In the light of His word
0:05:47 > 0:05:51# What a glory He shared on our way
0:05:51 > 0:05:54# While we do His good will
0:05:54 > 0:05:57# He abides by us still
0:05:57 > 0:05:59# And with all who will trust and obey
0:06:01 > 0:06:03# Trust and obey... #
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- HIS VOICE BREAKS - # For there's no other way
0:06:06 > 0:06:08# To be happy with Jes... #
0:06:11 > 0:06:12I can do it again.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Your voice is breaking.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18But why?
0:06:20 > 0:06:23When a boy starts to become a man...
0:06:23 > 0:06:26as boys get older,
0:06:26 > 0:06:28their vocal cords grow.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30We start to lose our high notes.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32I mean, it happens to us all.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34But the audition?
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Will have to wait, I'm afraid.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39I've practised so hard.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43I know, but now we must give your voice time to settle.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45And we don't know where it'll end up.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47I mean, you might be a tenor, or a baritone.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50You can't take me to your school?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Maybe in a year or so. Hm?
0:06:55 > 0:06:56I've only ever wanted to sing.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02I've told Matron that we've had to postpone your audition.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06Don't lose heart.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Come along, boys. Dining hall.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17No dawdling.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19Service went quick today.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22That's cos Matron wasn't there handing out punishments.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23She should disappear more often.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Gideon, don't be too disappointed, hm?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- Gideon!- How was it?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07It was... I did my best.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09You got in, didn't you?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Yes! It's a win for all of us.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14He got in? He got into Mr Melrose's school.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Excellent news and a fine example.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24You've done the hospital proud, Gideon.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Why do they have all the luck?
0:08:31 > 0:08:32They don't.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Not this time.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44We're very grateful to you, ma'am, for your time
0:08:44 > 0:08:45and concern for the foundlings.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Matron Bottomley would like me to thank you very much,
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- so...thank you.- Thank you.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55Goodbye.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Eh, I could put me back out, standing so stiff.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23When do you leave?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Boys...
0:09:25 > 0:09:27silence during Bible study.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33En...
0:09:33 > 0:09:35ter.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Erm...
0:09:36 > 0:09:37Nurse Macclesfield?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Mr Cranbourne, you're needed.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Continue with your work. I shall return shortly.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56No, he didn't give a name - he just said he was a personal guest.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Matron is not going to like this.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Father.- Donald.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Donald?
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Nurse Macclesfield, my father, Reverend Cranbourne.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- Pleased to meet you, Reverend.- Hmm.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- If you'd excuse me and keep an eye on the boys.- The boys?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25I've already got my hands full with the girls
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- and what with Matron being away... - I'm sure you'll manage.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Of course.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- What if Gideon gets into the choir school?- He could be famous one day.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44But what if it's like Polly?
0:10:44 > 0:10:48What if he got in and he leaves today, and we never see him again?
0:10:48 > 0:10:51He wants to sing more than anything. This is his future.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55I need to see Gideon.
0:10:56 > 0:11:02Er... I want the Book Of Judges finished by the time I get back.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04I shall be testing you on it later.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13Your uncle is in very poor health
0:11:13 > 0:11:17and your cousin Jasper is still missing. Weren't you concerned?
0:11:17 > 0:11:18I expected you to write.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19I'm sorry, Father.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22We've been extremely busy and my duties have grown.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Even today, I'm in charge of the entire hospital.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27I expect more from you, Donald.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29When the Earl dies and Jasper isn't found,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32the manor and the entire estate will pass to me.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- I'll need you by my side to help me run things.- But, Father, my work...
0:11:36 > 0:11:40At a time like this, your family needs you.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41I see.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Since you're visiting, why don't I take you on a tour of the hospital?
0:11:48 > 0:11:50That's not necessary.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52It's a magnificent building and well worth seeing,
0:11:52 > 0:11:54since you're here anyway.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57Very well.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Clara, your behaviour today at lunchtime was not acceptable.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- You cannot hit other girls. - Sorry, Nurse.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22- That's my bed.- It's Jenny's now.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- My sister... - Your sister isn't here now.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28You didn't want to be friends with us
0:12:28 > 0:12:30and that's the way it's going to be.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38If I had a talent like Gid's, I'd be out of here, too.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- What can you do? You can't sing. - Mind reading -
0:12:41 > 0:12:43people would pay to see that.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- But you can't read minds.- Yeah?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- I could try.- Go on, then, what am I thinking?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54This should be good.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Boo!
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Wasn't reading my mind then, was you?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Ah, boys!
0:13:02 > 0:13:07Read, Book Of Judges, I shall be setting a test later on.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Please, Nurse.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Where's Mr Cranbourne?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Book Of Judges. I'll be back.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Shame you can't read Nurse Macclesfield's mind
0:13:19 > 0:13:21and find out what's going on.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Why don't you read Gideon's mind?
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Is he daydreaming about his new life in Mr Melrose's school?
0:13:40 > 0:13:44- Bet she has gone to get married. - But who would replace her?
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Right, this time, I'm going.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Move, Sheila, or I'll move you.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Poor Feather.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59First Polly and now your precious Gideon.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01You'll have no-one left soon.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05He's probably already gone without saying goodbye.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07I said, move!
0:14:07 > 0:14:11- You've got a big mouth, Feather. - Rather a big mouth than an ugly one.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12Cranbourne's coming.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27Back to work, girls.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32As you can see, we're instilling discipline
0:14:32 > 0:14:35and much-needed moral education.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Who was that?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45He must be Matron's replacement.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47I don't like the look of him.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50I know you want to see Gid, but...
0:14:50 > 0:14:51It would take a miracle.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07From pillar to post, that's me.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09My poor feet are blooming killing me.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Mr Cranbourne, Reverend.
0:15:14 > 0:15:15Are the boys doing their reading?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Yes, but, Mr Cranbourne, with the girls and the boys...
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Keep up the good work.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26Right!
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Right, you lot, get your Bibles, we're moving.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34Well, come on!
0:15:36 > 0:15:38What's going on?
0:15:40 > 0:15:45- Where's she taking us?- What's she doing?- She's lost her marbles.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- It won't come off. - You'll get stuck in there.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52You're going to detench.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Feather!
0:15:55 > 0:15:56Get down.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Right, girls, all of you, over to this side.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Boys, over there.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12Get reading. I don't want to hear a word out of any of you.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14You got your miracle.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Gid got in.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24- You did it.- Walter, Vince, pull that blackboard here.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Foundlings receive an excellent education here and,
0:16:40 > 0:16:43with the right discipline, we're helping them grow and mature.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48You have a strong sense of duty towards these children.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Yes, I couldn't just abandon the hospital.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Matron needs me.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59And the children, of course, too.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02But our family circumstances have changed.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06It's time to come home.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23KNOCK ON DOOR
0:17:23 > 0:17:24Come.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Ah, Miss Winterson.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34SHE WHISPERS
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Don't even think about getting out of your seats.
0:17:56 > 0:18:01- I'm so proud of you.- Knew you could do it.- Hetty...- Tell me everything.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05What did Mr Melrose say? When do you leave? Can you come back and visit?
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- We didn't talk about a lot. - So, how did it go, then?
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- I bet you were brilliant. - It was good.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- No-one knows where she is. - They won't mess me around.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18Watch and learn.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21Girls...
0:18:23 > 0:18:27..tell me where Eliza has gone and you will not get into trouble.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35You do not want to make me angry.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39(You're scaring them.)
0:18:39 > 0:18:40(They need to be scared.)
0:18:40 > 0:18:45(The little madam needs to be found before Matron gets back.)
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Girls, it's really important that we find Eliza.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Did something else happen between you two?
0:18:58 > 0:18:59You used to be friends.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06She likes her sister better than us, now. Why don't you ask her?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Hetty Feather.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09I should have known.
0:19:12 > 0:19:13Give it back!
0:19:17 > 0:19:20"I regret to inform you that I'll be unable to admit Gideon
0:19:20 > 0:19:22"to my school for choristers.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24"It's disappointing for the boy
0:19:24 > 0:19:28"but, in the circumstances, I do not feel I can currently admit him."
0:19:30 > 0:19:31Shall I go on?
0:19:35 > 0:19:36What happened?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39But you're our best singer.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43- I thought that...- You don't know anything, none of you do.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Where is she?
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Who?
0:19:47 > 0:19:48Don't give me that.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Eliza's gone missing.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Do you know where she would go?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- You're going to have to come and help us find her.- But...
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- Now, Feather!- Gideon...
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- Nurse, Gideon has... - Shut up, Vince!
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Get back to your Bibles.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Why are you covering for that...nobody?
0:20:06 > 0:20:09You'd know all about being a nobody.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Who's there?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Father, I really would appreciate it
0:20:40 > 0:20:42if I was allowed some time to consider...
0:20:42 > 0:20:46I'll expect you home within the month.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49And, one more thing, Donald...
0:20:50 > 0:20:53It's time to think about settling down.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57A wife for a man who will one day be an earl.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59A wife?
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Yes, I don't imagine you meet many suitable women here.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Send me word of the date of your arrival.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Oh, she must be hiding somewhere.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Well, she's not hidden in the bread bin.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Where is she?
0:21:29 > 0:21:32I thought she might be hungry.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Right, I'm going to the juniors.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- You can find the little madam. - But...- No buts!
0:21:38 > 0:21:42And if you don't find her, you'll have some explaining to do.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Well, if she's not in here, then where is she?
0:21:51 > 0:21:54She can't have gone far.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00I liked being with Hetty in the big dorm and now I'm stuck with them.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- It can't be that bad. - It is. They're horrible to me.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06But why?
0:22:06 > 0:22:10It's not my fault. Why can't things be things be the way they were?
0:22:10 > 0:22:15Things change, Eliza. Sometimes... there's nothing we can do about it.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Can't you take me with you, to Mr Melrose's school?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21I didn't get in.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Well, what happened?
0:22:23 > 0:22:26My voice is changing, there's nothing I can do.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30I'm growing up and I won't be able to sing the way I used to,
0:22:30 > 0:22:32and now everybody knows I lied.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36Maybe we could run away.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40- Where would we go?- Back home. - To Peg's?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- We can't, Eliza. - I don't want to go back.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50What happened with the other girls?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53I wasn't very nice to them when I had Hetty.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- Can't you make it up to them? - But they hate me.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00It'll be hard, but you have to try.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02We both do.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04I've got to face all the seniors.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Besides, we can't leave without Hetty.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11I'll stay if you will.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14Deal?
0:23:19 > 0:23:20We'll find her, we just have to do.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29- Eliza!- Where have you been?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Eliza, you've caused a lot of trouble today.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Let's just get you back to the dorm.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36Gideon, back to class, please,
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Hetty, come up and help settle Eliza.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42No, Hetty, I can do this on my own.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56What did you say about Mr Melrose?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58I shouldn't have lied.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01I just didn't want it to be true.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Gid, did you read the letter?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07It's not the end of your singing - there's still next year.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Until then, you're stuck with me.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20SHOUTING AND JEERING
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- I thought you'd done a runner.- Don't start. I know I let people down.
0:24:33 > 0:24:41- You didn't let anyone down. At least you tried.- I did, I tried my best.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44You know, this doesn't make us friends or anything.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46No, of course not.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47Go on, Vince!
0:24:47 > 0:24:51SHOUTING
0:24:54 > 0:24:56The trials I've faced, Mr Cranbourne,
0:24:56 > 0:24:58my nerves are in tatters
0:24:58 > 0:25:00and my poor feet and my back...
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Mr Cranbourne?!
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Are you listening to me?
0:25:06 > 0:25:08I can assure you, Nurse Macclesfield,
0:25:08 > 0:25:10I've heard every single word.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17CHILDREN CONTINUE SHOUTING
0:25:22 > 0:25:26What is the meaning of this?!
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Matron will be informed of this deplorable behaviour.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32But Matron's not coming back.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Of course she's coming back.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- And you shall all be punished.- Hmm.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39No!
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Gideon.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43No-one will be punished.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Gideon, that place at Mr Melrose's school could disappear for you.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49It already has...
0:25:49 > 0:25:51and nobody's getting punished.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55- Right?- Right.- Right.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57We've been left alone all day.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- I wonder what Matron will think about that.- And the governors.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10Yes, well, it's been a...very busy day.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13I think we should forget about all of this.
0:26:16 > 0:26:21Time to return to dormitories. Boys, line up.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Girls, follow me.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42'Foundlings have to get used to change.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45'It's hard but it's the only way to survive.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53'Sometimes we have to change ourselves and not rely on others.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15'And there were some changes coming that nobody knew about.'
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Matron is up to something and we're going to find out what it is.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33Hetty needs you to sneak into Matron's office.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34What is it they say?
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Curiosity killed the cat?
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Whatever it is, she don't want us to know about it.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Where is she?
0:27:41 > 0:27:42Soon everyone will know what you did.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44You're going to be in so much trouble.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Do you want to find out about Matron's secret or not?
