0:00:02 > 0:00:04- Harriet, I found her. - Found who?- My mother.

0:00:04 > 0:00:08- It's Ida.- I never wanted to let you go, you know that.

0:00:08 > 0:00:10Have you seen the way Mathias Grigg looks at her in chapel,

0:00:10 > 0:00:12all doe-eyed?

0:00:12 > 0:00:16When you leave here, there will be a place for you in my household.

0:00:16 > 0:00:18Thank you, ma'am!

0:00:18 > 0:00:19You can't take me to your school.

0:00:19 > 0:00:21Maybe in a year or so.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23A new position, Mr Cranbourne?

0:00:23 > 0:00:26Well, more a joint running of the hospital.

0:00:26 > 0:00:28- It's Ida, Matron.- What?!

0:00:28 > 0:00:29She's Hetty Feather's mother.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32SHE SOBS I'm sorry.

0:00:32 > 0:00:33Get her out. Get her out!

0:00:33 > 0:00:35Hetty, please!

0:00:35 > 0:00:37I will find my mother again.

0:00:38 > 0:00:39This isn't over.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49'Life in the foundling hospital went on.

0:00:51 > 0:00:55'Days became weeks, weeks became months.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59'Some things had changed...'

0:01:01 > 0:01:04Up and down, and up, straight backs...

0:01:04 > 0:01:08'..but enemies were still enemies, and friends were still friends.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12'It wasn't the same for me.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14'I missed Ida more than I could bear.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21'Without her, what was the point of anything?'

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Senior foundlings!

0:02:04 > 0:02:05HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:02:06 > 0:02:09As a joint head of the hospital,

0:02:09 > 0:02:11I would like to take this opportunity

0:02:11 > 0:02:13to remind the senior foundlings among you

0:02:13 > 0:02:16that soon it will be time to say goodbye.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Your time with us is coming to an end.

0:02:19 > 0:02:25But your remaining weeks in our care will mean as much to us as to you.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27What Mr Cranbourne is trying to say is,

0:02:27 > 0:02:30all future positions outside these walls

0:02:30 > 0:02:33will be dependent upon your behaviour.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36Good or bad will be taken into consideration...

0:02:36 > 0:02:40There are some who have already secured their places

0:02:40 > 0:02:42through hard work and diligence.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45And for the rest, the choice is ours to make.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47We will decide your future.

0:02:49 > 0:02:50Now stand.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54Mr Cranbourne.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:02:58 > 0:02:59Dismissed.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07You're really going to Lady Asquith's now?

0:03:07 > 0:03:09They're on a business trip to America.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11They might not be back for ages.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Good luck, Harriet.

0:03:13 > 0:03:14"Good luck, Harriet"?

0:03:23 > 0:03:25CRANBOURNE: Er, Gideon! A word, please.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30I've recently received a letter from Mr Melrose.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Unfortunately, he's unable to offer you the scholarship.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37What do you mean?

0:03:37 > 0:03:38He said he would give me another chance.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40It has proved too costly.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43Your future is with the other boys, in the Army.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05Now run along, girls. There is ironing to be done, too.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09- (Nurse!)- Thank you, girls.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19Ida, you can't be here.

0:04:19 > 0:04:20Please, Nurse.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22Pass this to Hetty for me.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Oh, Ida. It's too big a risk.

0:04:25 > 0:04:26If Matron was to find out...

0:04:26 > 0:04:28But I've no other way.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30How is she?

0:04:30 > 0:04:32Does Hetty miss me, too?

0:04:34 > 0:04:37Please. She needs to know I'm thinking of her.

0:04:42 > 0:04:43(Thank you.)

0:04:58 > 0:05:00(Hetty!)

0:05:00 > 0:05:01(Hetty!)

0:05:04 > 0:05:05Ida came to the back gate.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08Ida? You saw her?

0:05:08 > 0:05:11She couldn't stay, but she wanted me to give you this.

0:05:11 > 0:05:12Keep it hidden.

0:05:20 > 0:05:25"Dear Hetty, I want you to know that I'm safe and well.

0:05:25 > 0:05:29"I've been living in the workhouse, and though it's hard,

0:05:29 > 0:05:31"I made a promise to myself.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35"Every time I hear the church bells over the noise of the city...

0:05:37 > 0:05:39"..or catch a glimpse of the busy river...

0:05:40 > 0:05:41"..I think of you.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46"But thanks to the kindness of the gatekeeper's wife,

0:05:46 > 0:05:47"I hope to move on from here.

0:05:47 > 0:05:51"Wherever I am, wherever I go...

0:05:51 > 0:05:53"I'll never stop loving you, Hetty.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58- "Your dear mother, Ida."- Ida?

0:05:58 > 0:05:59Don't you dare snitch.

0:06:20 > 0:06:21Hetty?

0:06:24 > 0:06:25Hetty!

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Shh.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31Nurse Winterson gave me a letter from Ida.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33I need to go and find her.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36Say goodbye to Gideon from me.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38I'll miss you and I'll see you again.

0:06:38 > 0:06:39I promise.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57- Ah, Matron.- Oh!

0:06:57 > 0:07:00Allow me to introduce Miss Sarah Smith,

0:07:00 > 0:07:04my good friend and esteemed writer of the Religious Tracts Society.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06Pamphlets for straight children.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08One does one's best.

0:07:08 > 0:07:09Er...Matron Bottomly.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12I was not expecting you all so soon!

0:07:12 > 0:07:14Oh, I do apologise, Matron.

0:07:14 > 0:07:19I've heard so much about the hospital from Donald at Evensong

0:07:19 > 0:07:24that I persuaded Colonel Brigwell to allow me to arrive early.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27- You travelled together?- And a most delightful journey it was.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30I've never learned so much about the desperate hardships

0:07:30 > 0:07:31there are on our streets.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34Sarah's eagerness and her charitable work

0:07:34 > 0:07:36make her the ideal choice.

0:07:36 > 0:07:37Choice?

0:07:37 > 0:07:41To act as governor while Lady Asquith's on her travels.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43I was not aware that the governors had made their decision.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46Mr Cranbourne represented the interests of the staff.

0:07:48 > 0:07:49Miss Smith, please.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53What an honour, Matron.

0:07:53 > 0:07:58I spend most of my time scribbling down stories I hear

0:07:58 > 0:08:01at the refuge for girls in need.

0:08:01 > 0:08:06I try to give a voice to those who are never heard.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09The girls of your refuge are very lucky indeed.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12And I am sure, Miss Smith, that we are very lucky to have you.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Indeed we are.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16So you are most welcome to our ranks.

0:08:20 > 0:08:21Hetty?

0:08:25 > 0:08:26Hetty...!

0:08:36 > 0:08:39- A foundling girl has not gone through this gate?- No.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41- You're absolutely sure?- Yes.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46- KNOCK ON DOOR - Come in.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50- Mr Cranbourne, Matron. - Is there a problem, Nurse?

0:08:50 > 0:08:51It's Hetty Feather.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Ah.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56One of Matron's charges.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59A name I've heard many times before.

0:08:59 > 0:09:00Do excuse us.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Cook reported her absent from kitchen duty.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09She's nowhere to be found.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12Very well. Ensure staff search the entire hospital.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Let us keep the situation in perspective.

0:09:15 > 0:09:16This is Hetty Feather, after all.

0:09:16 > 0:09:20Foundlings are to remain at their chores, and no-one unaccounted for.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24You don't think it's best that we send for the constable?

0:09:24 > 0:09:26The constable?

0:09:26 > 0:09:28The girl will be hiding somewhere in the hospital!

0:09:34 > 0:09:35SHE SIGHS

0:09:37 > 0:09:40If you could just excuse us, Miss Smith. Colonel.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42Do accept my apologies. We shouldn't be much longer.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49- Oi! What are YOU wearing?! - THEY LAUGH

0:09:49 > 0:09:53- 'Scuse me. Do you know where the workhouse is?- Go away. Go away.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01Excuse me, do you know where the workhouse is?

0:10:01 > 0:10:03- No, don't know, love.- Please.- No!

0:10:14 > 0:10:17Gideon, do you know the whereabouts of your sister?

0:10:17 > 0:10:18Me, sir?

0:10:18 > 0:10:20No, sir.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24It seems she has slipped away from her duties.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26Any ideas?

0:10:26 > 0:10:27No, sir. Honest.

0:10:31 > 0:10:32Very well. Carry on.

0:10:36 > 0:10:39You don't think Matron sent her somewhere awful?

0:10:39 > 0:10:41She wouldn't have just disappeared, not without telling us.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43We should find Harriet.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Harriet won't be happy.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48Cheer her up if you're that bothered.

0:10:50 > 0:10:51Harriet!

0:10:52 > 0:10:55- What's happened?- Nurse Winterson passed Hetty a letter from Ida.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58First chance she had, she bolted straight out the gate.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00- She's escaped?- Yeah.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02She was in such a rush, she dropped it.

0:11:04 > 0:11:05What does it say?

0:11:09 > 0:11:11Ida's in the workhouse.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14- We have to hand this in.- But then they'll find her and bring her back.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16And Nurse Winterson will get in trouble.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18London's a big place, and Hetty's on her own.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21All sorts of people will take advantage.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23I know what it's like, remember.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25No! She's our friend.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27This letter belongs to Hetty. We're not showing it to anyone.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30There are different ways of looking out for a friend, you know.

0:11:30 > 0:11:31What, you mean like snitching?

0:11:31 > 0:11:33It's not snitching. It's about her safety.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36Call it whatever you want, it's still against our rules.

0:11:42 > 0:11:43Mathias.

0:11:44 > 0:11:45If you tell...

0:11:46 > 0:11:47..we're finished.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55NURSE WINTERSON: Harriet.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00Where have you been?

0:12:00 > 0:12:01Er...privy break, Nurse.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07If you knew anything about Hetty's whereabouts...

0:12:10 > 0:12:11..you would tell me?

0:12:13 > 0:12:14Just like I would tell you...

0:12:15 > 0:12:18..if I was certain of the facts.

0:12:18 > 0:12:19Yes, Nurse.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22But I don't know anything, either.

0:12:22 > 0:12:26Although I do hope she'll find someone who will look out for her.

0:12:28 > 0:12:29Let us both hope so.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33Harriet.

0:12:34 > 0:12:35Matron's asking questions.

0:12:40 > 0:12:41What's that, Harriet?

0:12:43 > 0:12:45It's from Mathias.

0:12:45 > 0:12:46He knew I'd be worried about Hetty.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49Believe that and I'd believe anything.

0:12:49 > 0:12:50I know who it's from.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55Please, Sheila.

0:12:55 > 0:12:56Don't say a word.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58Me?

0:12:58 > 0:12:59I've already seen it.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02If I wanted to snitch, I would have done it already,

0:13:02 > 0:13:03and I'm not going through that again.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06Let's hope she finds Ida.

0:13:06 > 0:13:07I'm glad for her.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14Matches! Does anyone want matches?

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Excuse me, which way to the workhouse?

0:13:18 > 0:13:19Thank you!

0:13:21 > 0:13:23Oi! Watch where you're going!

0:13:23 > 0:13:26- I'm sorry!- Sorry?! That's tuppence you owe me.- I'm sorry!

0:13:26 > 0:13:29Oi! Get back here before I come looking!

0:13:34 > 0:13:37We now believe that a girl has escaped.

0:13:39 > 0:13:43Anyone found to be covering for her...

0:13:43 > 0:13:45their future will be severely compromised.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49You may find yourself without a position...

0:13:53 > 0:13:55..for I shall personally make sure that any potential employers

0:13:55 > 0:14:00know exactly what kind of untrustworthy candidates you are.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05The only option left open to you will be a factory...

0:14:07 > 0:14:09..or a mill.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11Somewhere far away from here.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15I'd do anything not to end up there.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18- Same here.- Does anyone have anything to report?

0:14:20 > 0:14:22- THEY ALL MURMUR:- No, Matron.

0:14:22 > 0:14:23Excuse me?!

0:14:23 > 0:14:26- ALL:- No, Matron.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28The constable has been sent for.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31Hetty Feather's safe return is paramount.

0:14:31 > 0:14:32So...

0:14:32 > 0:14:35if anybody has any information on this matter...

0:14:35 > 0:14:36- Sir.- Don't!

0:14:39 > 0:14:41Boy, if you have something to say...

0:14:41 > 0:14:43Well...the thing is, sir...

0:14:43 > 0:14:45Mathias...

0:14:45 > 0:14:48thinks the girls are more likely to know something.

0:14:48 > 0:14:49We hardly see Hetty.

0:14:50 > 0:14:51Yes, sir.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54Noted.

0:14:54 > 0:14:58Any further evidence, come directly to me.

0:15:03 > 0:15:04Back to class.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15Friends don't tell! They stay loyal, no matter what.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18Yeah, and friends don't leave someone in danger.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21But if you can't accept that, maybe we're not mates after all.

0:15:24 > 0:15:25Cook?

0:15:27 > 0:15:31When I leave here, I hope I don't end up in a factory.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34You? Your talent'd be wasted.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37Factory's no place for my best kitchen maid.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40You're a hard worker, Ormsby, I'll give you that.

0:15:40 > 0:15:44You know me, Cook. I always aim to please.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47You toe the line and keep in Matron's good books,

0:15:47 > 0:15:51and maybe there'll be a job for you here when you finish your schooling.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55I'd rather have no job than tell on Hetty.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57So why does Mathias think it's the right thing to do?

0:15:57 > 0:16:00Cos he's been out there, same as me.

0:16:00 > 0:16:01You just see things differently.

0:16:03 > 0:16:04Harriet!

0:16:04 > 0:16:08What do you get when you cross a snake with a pork pie?

0:16:08 > 0:16:09A pie-thon!

0:16:09 > 0:16:10SHE SIGHS

0:16:13 > 0:16:15Well, that went well, didn't it?

0:16:15 > 0:16:18Maybe she likes you. Girls are weird like that.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25So, what do we do?

0:16:25 > 0:16:28Tell Harriet to destroy the letter before it's too late.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30Makes no difference. Can still tell Mr Cranbourne.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37You're acting like I'm the enemy.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39I'm just worried about Hetty.

0:16:39 > 0:16:40But...

0:16:40 > 0:16:42you're my friends.

0:16:42 > 0:16:45And if you don't want me to say anything, then I won't.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48- You're not going to tell Matron?- No.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50But that doesn't mean I think you're right.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00SHE KNOCKS 'Scuse me.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03Um...I'm here to see my mother. Her name's Ida Battersea.

0:17:05 > 0:17:06We've no-one of that name here.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08But this is the workhouse, isn't it?

0:17:08 > 0:17:11Yeah, one of about 100 in this fair city.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13So how am I supposed to find her?

0:17:13 > 0:17:17With plenty of time, money for a carriage, and a good pair of boots.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19But...I don't have any money, and I need to find her!

0:17:19 > 0:17:20She's not here!

0:17:54 > 0:17:59Er...age 14, red hair, blue eyes, freckles about the face.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01And what was the last known sighting of the child?

0:18:01 > 0:18:04- This morning at ten o'clock. - And where, exactly?

0:18:04 > 0:18:06Constable, we really must move swiftly on this matter.

0:18:06 > 0:18:09Before I'm forced to call my army chums.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12I understand, but the more information we have, the better.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15Is it possible that Hetty had another plan?

0:18:15 > 0:18:16To go somewhere, meet someone?

0:18:16 > 0:18:18- MISS SMITH:- Quite.

0:18:18 > 0:18:22Is running away her usual pattern of behaviour?

0:18:22 > 0:18:24Studies have shown...

0:18:24 > 0:18:27There is no rhyme nor reason with this girl, I'm afraid.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29- THEY CHUCKLE - Little minx is afraid of nothing.

0:18:29 > 0:18:30Hmm.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33Is there anybody out there the child knows?

0:18:34 > 0:18:36There is her mother.

0:18:44 > 0:18:46Allow me to explain, Constable.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49There was a woman called Ida Battersea

0:18:49 > 0:18:51who worked here for a while.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54Unbeknownst to the staff, and indeed to the governors...

0:18:55 > 0:18:58..she was Hetty Feather's mother.

0:18:58 > 0:18:59- MISS SMITH:- My goodness!

0:18:59 > 0:19:01She left our employ six months ago.

0:19:02 > 0:19:05So there's every possibility the child's out there looking for her?

0:19:05 > 0:19:08I just wish we could go out and search for Hetty ourselves.

0:19:08 > 0:19:09Better for you to stay safe.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13- I'll waste no time in my endeavours. - Constable.

0:19:13 > 0:19:17Any possible sightings, report back to us immediately.

0:19:17 > 0:19:18Allow me, Constable.

0:19:20 > 0:19:21SHE CHUCKLES

0:19:21 > 0:19:23Such a brave profession.

0:19:23 > 0:19:27Out there on them streets, in that uniform...

0:19:27 > 0:19:29Right then. Good news or bad news?

0:19:29 > 0:19:31Please, if this is a joke...

0:19:31 > 0:19:33I heard just now, when I finish classes,

0:19:33 > 0:19:36I'm walking straight into a job for life.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39Apprentice kitchen maid to one of the best cooks in London.

0:19:39 > 0:19:43Apparently I'm highly skilled, and very talented.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45And what's the bad news?

0:19:45 > 0:19:47There isn't any. Don't think Cook could cope without me.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50Cook? Our cook? The job's here?

0:19:50 > 0:19:52That IS bad news!

0:19:52 > 0:19:53No, it's not.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56What's wrong with being Cook's new kitchen maid?

0:19:56 > 0:19:58Signing up for a lifetime with Matron?

0:19:58 > 0:20:00Good luck, Sheila.

0:20:00 > 0:20:01You'll need it.

0:20:04 > 0:20:08Nurse. Cook needs an errand for the kitchen. I forgot to go before.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10Go on, then.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14Thank you for your efforts, Mr Cranbourne.

0:20:14 > 0:20:16And you, Matron.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18You're handling the situation...

0:20:18 > 0:20:20quite well.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22As for a child escaping these premises,

0:20:22 > 0:20:25it won't happen again - not on my watch.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28I only hope she's found before darkness falls.

0:20:28 > 0:20:32A foundling coming to any harm is my greatest fear.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34I do not quite know how I will sleep tonight.

0:20:34 > 0:20:38It's most comforting to know how you care for the children.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41You understand me so well already.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44And I feel there is so much more to understand.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48Ah! Colonel. Miss Smith.

0:20:48 > 0:20:49Your carriages are waiting.

0:20:49 > 0:20:50Allow me.

0:20:52 > 0:20:53- BRIGWELL:- Matron.

0:20:57 > 0:20:58Matron!

0:21:01 > 0:21:03I think I found something you need to see.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07It was my duty to tell you as an honest and loyal foundling.

0:21:13 > 0:21:14Where did you find this?

0:21:15 > 0:21:17Harriet.

0:21:21 > 0:21:23For now, we will keep this between ourselves.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27I need to investigate thoroughly, make sure the letter is genuine,

0:21:27 > 0:21:29you understand?

0:21:29 > 0:21:30Yes, matron, of course.

0:21:32 > 0:21:33You have done the right thing.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47Here you are - get yourself something to eat, love.

0:21:47 > 0:21:48Oh... thanks, milady!

0:22:06 > 0:22:09'Scuse me, Miss - spare me a halfpenny?

0:22:09 > 0:22:10A penny, please?

0:22:13 > 0:22:15'Scuse me, sir.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18I'm hungry, sir - could I have a penny, please?

0:22:20 > 0:22:21Thank you, sir.

0:22:24 > 0:22:25SHE SIGHS

0:22:26 > 0:22:28WHISTLE BLOWS

0:22:28 > 0:22:29It's the police! Run for it!

0:22:29 > 0:22:31Go that way!

0:22:36 > 0:22:38Come on, come this way!

0:22:38 > 0:22:39WHISTLING

0:22:43 > 0:22:45Good day's begging, then?

0:22:45 > 0:22:47I wasn't begging, I was looking for my mother.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49- Hand it over.- Forget it, it's mine!

0:22:49 > 0:22:50Not for long.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52Leave me alone, it's my money!

0:22:52 > 0:22:53Oi!

0:22:53 > 0:22:55Up to your old tricks again, are ya?

0:22:55 > 0:22:58Well, move. This is my patch, and you lot give it a bad name.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00- Says who?- Says me!

0:23:00 > 0:23:02Now get gone before I fetch my father!

0:23:04 > 0:23:05My money!

0:23:09 > 0:23:11That was all the money I had, and I can't pay you back.

0:23:11 > 0:23:15I just saved you from Mr Grace's gang, and that's the thanks I get?

0:23:15 > 0:23:18- They're from Mr Grace's?- Yeah.

0:23:18 > 0:23:19And this is their stomping ground.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23It's not yours, though, is it?

0:23:23 > 0:23:25The name's Sissy, by the way.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28- Hetty. - What you doing here, then, Hetty?

0:23:28 > 0:23:30I'm trying to find my mother, but I don't know where to look.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33Well, what you need is someone who knows their Westminster

0:23:33 > 0:23:34from their Wapping.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46Mr Brunsden.

0:23:48 > 0:23:50Got the note you sent out, Gertie.

0:23:50 > 0:23:51Why the urgency?

0:23:51 > 0:23:54Don't tell me that factory girl's been blabbing.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57No. A girl has escaped.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59Hetty Feather. Desperate to be with her mother.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01The child is obsessed.

0:24:01 > 0:24:02And where do I fit into all of this?

0:24:02 > 0:24:05I want Feather taken care of.

0:24:05 > 0:24:06So she can trouble me no more.

0:24:07 > 0:24:08Find her.

0:24:12 > 0:24:13This was smuggled in.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19Seems her mother, Ida Battersea, is in a workhouse.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24Get Mr Grace's runners onto it, search the streets yourself.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26This sounds like the Ludgate workhouse.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28I need her to disappear.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32To a factory, anywhere, as long as she's off the streets.

0:24:32 > 0:24:33Leave it to me.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37I shall delay informing the constable until tomorrow.

0:24:38 > 0:24:40You have a head start.

0:24:41 > 0:24:42Mr Brunsden.

0:24:49 > 0:24:50DOOR OPENS

0:24:50 > 0:24:51Girls!

0:24:53 > 0:24:55Come - bring her in.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59Take her to Hetty's bed.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02Well, we can't have a bed go empty

0:25:02 > 0:25:04just because Hetty decides to run away.

0:25:05 > 0:25:09Although, I have to say, I'm not sure that girl will be coming back.

0:25:09 > 0:25:13Out there on those streets, cold and alone, hungry...

0:25:14 > 0:25:15..in danger.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19Oh, well. Sleep soundly, girls.

0:25:19 > 0:25:20All yours.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23What if Matron's right?

0:25:23 > 0:25:24What if she IS in danger?

0:25:24 > 0:25:27- Are you going to tell? - She's my friend.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35YOU took it!

0:25:35 > 0:25:39No matter what you say, Sheila, you just can't help it.

0:25:39 > 0:25:40Harriet was going to do it anyway.

0:25:40 > 0:25:42I just saved her the job.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45I was going to tell because I care for Hetty.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47You told just to keep in with Matron and get a job.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52You don't deserve friends.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54Maybe, but at least I've got a future.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04It's not much, but it's home.

0:26:08 > 0:26:12Good. Me father's not back yet.

0:26:12 > 0:26:13Come on, Hetty.

0:26:29 > 0:26:30Sissy?

0:26:30 > 0:26:32It's all right now, Lil.

0:26:32 > 0:26:33I'm back.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37I've brought a friend.

0:26:37 > 0:26:38This is Hetty.

0:26:42 > 0:26:43Make yourself at home.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49Light the candles, will you, Hetty?

0:26:57 > 0:27:01'I was safe, for now, thanks to my new friend.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05'And I was one step closer to finding Ida.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07'I wouldn't let anything stop me.'

0:27:09 > 0:27:12- Harriet Summers.- You found it?

0:27:12 > 0:27:14It wasn't handed to you by a child?

0:27:14 > 0:27:16Or a member of staff, perhaps?

0:27:16 > 0:27:17No, Matron.

0:27:17 > 0:27:21These unruly girls are your responsibility, are they not?

0:27:21 > 0:27:22Do you have Ida's address?

0:27:22 > 0:27:24Ooh...I don't have details like that, I'm afraid.

0:27:27 > 0:27:30Her name's Hetty. She's hanging about with a flower seller.

0:27:30 > 0:27:31If we see her, we'll nab her.

0:27:33 > 0:27:34Hetty, quick!

0:27:36 > 0:27:39Find out who smuggled in that letter to the hospital,

0:27:39 > 0:27:43and I will make sure that Harriet keeps her job with the Asquiths.

0:27:43 > 0:27:44Hmm?

0:27:44 > 0:27:48Come get your flowers, posies and nosegays!
