-I could call again to check all is well.

-It would be appreciated.

0:00:020:00:05

There are some who have already secured their places through

0:00:050:00:09

-hard work and diligence.

-You're really going to Lady Asquith's?

0:00:090:00:13

They're on a business trip and might not be back for ages.

0:00:130:00:16

None of it belongs to him anyway,

0:00:160:00:18

except for this crusty old book he's always writing in.

0:00:180:00:21

She has the book.

0:00:210:00:23

It's got dirt on everyone.

0:00:230:00:24

'I've never been afraid to take chances,

0:00:360:00:39

'especially if it makes life better for all of us.

0:00:390:00:42

'But at the foundling hospital, taking a chance can be dangerous.

0:00:440:00:48

'Some chances we are too scared to take.

0:00:540:00:57

'And it wasn't just foundlings who had to take risks.'

0:01:020:01:04

Gerti.

0:01:070:01:08

'Soon, we'd be leaving the foundling hospital,

0:01:100:01:13

'and it might be my last chance to bring down Matron.'

0:01:130:01:15

Look at this.

0:01:170:01:18

Girls! Nice straight line!

0:01:220:01:25

Come on! Chop chop. No dawdling.

0:01:250:01:27

'Could this book have the evidence I need?'

0:01:330:01:35

The book has every deal we've ever done -

0:02:090:02:11

selling foundlings, dates, how much we got for them.

0:02:110:02:14

We might as well just confess it all to the coppers.

0:02:140:02:16

-Just leave the rest out there.

-Find that book.

0:02:160:02:19

That is what I am trying to do!

0:02:190:02:21

Oh, Mr Branston.

0:02:240:02:25

Blanche and Jess did not leave with it,

0:02:260:02:28

which means it is still somewhere in this hospital.

0:02:280:02:30

I will find it.

0:02:300:02:32

-Now, please go.

-I'm counting on you, Gerti.

0:02:320:02:35

-Cook...

-This new flour, Matron, it's not up to much.

0:02:410:02:45

Loaves not rising, flat scones.

0:02:450:02:47

Don't think much to your new supplier.

0:02:470:02:48

A skilful cook does not blame her ingredients.

0:02:480:02:52

Unless you're questioning my judgment.

0:02:520:02:54

Course not, Matron.

0:02:560:02:57

Excellent.

0:02:570:02:58

Lady Asquith's friend will be lunching with me,

0:02:590:03:01

just some cold meats and we'll have him on his way.

0:03:010:03:04

-What's that?

-The skills of a detective.

0:03:080:03:10

-Which are...?

-Observation, assessment, deduction.

0:03:100:03:13

And what have you observed today?

0:03:130:03:15

Nothing much.

0:03:160:03:18

CHUCKLING

0:03:180:03:19

What are you looking at?

0:03:210:03:23

Morning, boys. Jackets on and line up, please.

0:03:230:03:27

-I was wondering if you are free...?

-I'm ever so busy today,

0:03:380:03:41

but I do enjoy a turn in the park on my day off.

0:03:410:03:45

Well, perhaps you'd like some company.

0:03:450:03:47

Constable? Wait there.

0:03:470:03:50

What a treat!

0:03:500:03:52

Well, it's not even my birthday.

0:03:520:03:55

So anyone could find that book under my bed.

0:03:550:03:57

We could get in real trouble.

0:03:570:03:59

It had Matron's name in it, with amounts of money.

0:03:590:04:02

Mr Grace must have paid Matron for something.

0:04:020:04:04

It proves they're connected.

0:04:040:04:06

I need to find a better hiding place for that book.

0:04:060:04:08

-I'll go and get it.

-Hetty, you'll get caught.

0:04:080:04:11

-Hetty!

-Silent!

0:04:110:04:13

Get back in line. Maybe next time you could stay for a cup of tea.

0:04:130:04:17

Of course.

0:04:170:04:19

Girls.

0:04:190:04:21

Come on.

0:04:210:04:22

I was saying that...

0:04:220:04:24

-Matron.

-Is there a problem, Constable?

0:04:240:04:29

Matron, I was just checking in.

0:04:290:04:32

I was on patrol in the area, so...

0:04:320:04:34

I didn't just turn up for no reason at all.

0:04:340:04:36

Well, as you can see, everything is fine.

0:04:360:04:38

If that is all?

0:04:380:04:40

Good day, Constable.

0:04:410:04:42

If you'll excuse me, I must get back to work.

0:04:460:04:49

Sheila.

0:04:520:04:53

Sheila will be a moment - tell Nurse.

0:04:540:04:56

Cook tells me you're doing good work.

0:05:000:05:02

She's very pleased you're staying.

0:05:020:05:04

Thank you, Matron.

0:05:040:05:05

I'm searching for something.

0:05:070:05:08

Something Jess may have left you.

0:05:090:05:11

-Jess?

-Have you heard anything?

0:05:110:05:14

No, Matron.

0:05:150:05:16

Hetty and Harriet were looking at something this morning.

0:05:200:05:24

They were whispering.

0:05:240:05:25

Off to class.

0:05:270:05:28

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:05:360:05:38

Chester Benjamin.

0:05:380:05:40

Mr Benjamin, I was not informed of your arrival.

0:05:400:05:43

Matron Bottomley. Apologies for keeping you waiting.

0:05:450:05:48

I'm rather early, I'm afraid, but more time to tour this outstanding

0:05:480:05:51

building. I don't want to waste a moment while I'm here.

0:05:510:05:53

Yes, of course, a tour of the hospital.

0:05:530:05:55

I shall ask one of the nurses to show you around.

0:05:550:05:57

But I'm sure you are the person to tell me everything

0:05:570:05:59

about the hospital - Matron knows best, and all.

0:05:590:06:01

I'm not keeping you from anything, I hope?

0:06:010:06:04

No, no, no, no. Of course not.

0:06:040:06:07

This way, Mr Benjamin.

0:06:070:06:08

My friends call me Chester, and I'd be deeply honoured if you would too.

0:06:080:06:11

If it's not too improper.

0:06:110:06:13

Chester, of course.

0:06:130:06:14

-Ah!

-Judd!

0:06:210:06:23

-Sir, I'm wet.

-Had an accident, did we?

0:06:230:06:26

The privy is just outside.

0:06:260:06:27

Sir, can I go and get a bucket?

0:06:270:06:30

No, I shall investigate this.

0:06:300:06:32

You move up to there. Move along.

0:06:320:06:34

Now, carry on with your work, and no comparing.

0:06:340:06:37

I shall return shortly.

0:06:370:06:39

Has anybody worked out problem number four?

0:06:410:06:43

This is impossible. At least I won't need maths in the Army.

0:06:430:06:45

You need maths everywhere.

0:06:450:06:46

It's all Army, Army, Army with you. Can we talk about something else?

0:06:460:06:50

Like what? You've been grumpy all morning.

0:06:500:06:52

Yeah, are you all right?

0:06:520:06:53

-My stomach hurts.

-You ate enough at breakfast.

0:06:530:06:55

-You're not funny.

-That's a lot of chatter.

0:06:550:06:59

Have you all finished your work?

0:06:590:07:01

Was that Constable Clark this morning?

0:07:010:07:03

Has something happened?

0:07:030:07:04

Nothing for you to worry about.

0:07:060:07:07

Settle down. Back to work.

0:07:100:07:12

I spy an opportunity.

0:07:130:07:14

So, girls, when you add ...ing, or...

0:07:180:07:22

The answer's in there.

0:07:220:07:24

Why would Matron be getting money from Mr Grace?

0:07:240:07:26

What if Blanche wasn't the only foundling she sold?

0:07:280:07:30

Maybe she's done it before.

0:07:310:07:33

If you keep going after Matron, you'll make things worse.

0:07:330:07:35

What if it's still happening?

0:07:350:07:37

We need to stop her.

0:07:370:07:38

-Harriet!

-What is going on?

0:07:430:07:46

Harriet didn't mean to.

0:07:460:07:47

-I didn't...

-Enough!

0:07:470:07:49

Go and get changed quickly before Matron sees that mess.

0:07:490:07:52

-Yes?

-Please, Nurse, may I go to the infirmary?

0:07:530:07:57

I'm not feeling well.

0:07:570:07:59

Oh, feeling sick all of a sudden, are we?

0:07:590:08:02

I will not have two foundlings traipsing around this hospital.

0:08:020:08:05

Now, get back to work, all of you.

0:08:050:08:07

Yes, there is a magnificent view of the city from that window.

0:08:090:08:12

Most inspiring.

0:08:160:08:18

But it's the facilities inside the hospital

0:08:190:08:21

that I'm most curious about.

0:08:210:08:22

Yes. Sadly, as I'm sure Lady Asquith has told you,

0:08:220:08:26

our facilities are not as up-to-date as we would wish.

0:08:260:08:28

Oh, before I forget, I have a letter from her.

0:08:280:08:32

Oh. Thank you.

0:08:330:08:34

Yes, well, I shall tell her the day.

0:08:550:08:57

A wonderful opportunity for a foundling.

0:08:570:08:59

Indeed. Lucky girl.

0:08:590:09:01

You know, being here has cemented my plans.

0:09:030:09:06

I intend to open my own refuge for foundlings in New York City.

0:09:070:09:11

I've always wanted to lend the Benjamin name to something grand,

0:09:120:09:16

and help some poor children, of course.

0:09:160:09:18

Foundlings in New York?

0:09:180:09:19

Oh, there's need everywhere, and I feel I'm the man to do this.

0:09:190:09:24

I'll be appointing a matron soon, which is quite an undertaking.

0:09:240:09:28

I've got to find me somebody who is up to the task.

0:09:280:09:31

The right matron can make all the difference.

0:09:310:09:33

Choose the wrong one, however, and you will find...

0:09:330:09:35

Matron, there you are. We must discuss the roof.

0:09:350:09:36

There are leaks springing up every...where.

0:09:360:09:39

As you can see, I have a visitor.

0:09:390:09:42

Chester Benjamin.

0:09:420:09:44

Cranbourne, Donald Cranbourne.

0:09:440:09:46

Matron, we must attend to the leakage.

0:09:480:09:51

I see I'm distracting you from serious work.

0:09:510:09:53

No, I'm sure we can afford a small delay for a guest of Lady Asquith.

0:09:530:09:57

Mr Cranbourne, I will speak with you later.

0:09:570:10:00

-Good to meet you, Cranfield.

-Mr Benjamin.

0:10:000:10:02

Now, let me take you to see the girls' classrooms.

0:10:020:10:04

And you must tell me all about your wonderful plans...

0:10:040:10:07

Matron.

0:10:300:10:31

Mr Benjamin, Nurse Macclesfield...

0:10:310:10:33

..and our senior girls.

0:10:350:10:37

Delightful.

0:10:390:10:41

Our foundlings are trained in practical accomplishments -

0:10:480:10:51

sewing and other handicrafts. But their formal education is key.

0:10:510:10:55

I also make it my business to know everything about my foundlings...

0:10:550:10:59

..so I can place them into positions most suited to their talents.

0:11:000:11:03

Very impressive, Matron.

0:11:030:11:04

Very impressive.

0:11:040:11:06

Well, from you, that is high praise indeed.

0:11:060:11:08

Harriet.

0:11:110:11:12

Mr Benjamin has brought word from the Asquiths.

0:11:180:11:24

They are remaining in New York for the foreseeable future.

0:11:240:11:27

And they want you to join them there.

0:11:270:11:30

-APPLAUSE

-Well done, Harriet.

0:11:300:11:31

Congratulations, Harriet.

0:11:310:11:33

What did you think I was going to say?

0:11:360:11:40

Mr Benjamin, would you excuse me a moment?

0:11:400:11:42

Hetty Feather.

0:11:440:11:45

I wish I was going to America.

0:11:480:11:51

Going anywhere, really.

0:11:510:11:52

Maybe you could stay here with me.

0:11:540:11:56

I could ask Cook if she needs extra help in the kitchen.

0:11:560:11:58

Go to Cook. Tell her I require a special meal for our guest -

0:12:030:12:07

a leg of lamb and a trifle.

0:12:070:12:09

-Yes, Matron.

-I've heard reports of Harriet hiding stolen property

0:12:090:12:13

under her bed.

0:12:130:12:15

Harriet wouldn't steal.

0:12:150:12:17

The governors are yet to approve her going to America -

0:12:170:12:19

it would be a shame for her to lose out on this opportunity,

0:12:190:12:22

or for someone else to ruin it for her.

0:12:220:12:24

Take my message to Cook.

0:12:250:12:26

And come straight back.

0:12:290:12:31

When you've completed your work,

0:12:390:12:40

you can look forward to drill this afternoon, boys.

0:12:400:12:43

Oh, I don't feel well. My tummy hurts.

0:12:430:12:46

No surprises there.

0:12:460:12:47

-Are you faking it, too?

-No.

0:12:490:12:51

No, I probably just ate too much at breakfast.

0:12:510:12:53

Walter, didn't you feel unwell the other day?

0:12:530:12:55

Yeah, but why does that matter?

0:12:550:12:57

I'm observing a pattern.

0:12:580:13:00

I fear there may be some sort of disease spreading amongst the boys.

0:13:000:13:03

-What sort of disease?

-You think I'm ill?

0:13:030:13:05

-What's wrong with me?

-That, dear friends, is still to be deduced.

0:13:050:13:08

Sir, are nurses allowed to be married

0:13:080:13:10

when working at the hospital?

0:13:100:13:12

I do believe regulations prohibit nurses from being married.

0:13:120:13:17

I don't think matrons can be married, either.

0:13:170:13:20

Who'd want to marry Matron?

0:13:200:13:22

A hospital this size is a big undertaking.

0:13:250:13:28

You manage it so well, too.

0:13:280:13:30

I do have an excellent staff.

0:13:300:13:32

A staff is only as good as its leader.

0:13:320:13:35

Well, a good matron chooses her staff wisely.

0:13:350:13:39

That is just one of the lessons I've learned in all of my years

0:13:390:13:41

of experience.

0:13:410:13:43

If I can offer any advice or assistance when you start hiring...

0:13:430:13:47

You are kind to offer.

0:13:470:13:48

I know how busy you must be.

0:13:480:13:50

Now, my plans are ambitious.

0:13:500:13:52

The facilities will be modern, as befits our changing times -

0:13:520:13:55

-gymnasium, sports fields.

-How interesting.

0:13:550:13:57

I have lobbied for new facilities

0:13:570:13:59

for the children's physical education,

0:13:590:14:01

but sadly, some of the governors are a little less progressive

0:14:010:14:04

in their outlook.

0:14:040:14:05

I'm a firm believer in a healthy mind and a healthy body.

0:14:050:14:08

Oh, I couldn't agree more. The boys and girls have drill this afternoon.

0:14:080:14:11

Perhaps you'd like to watch before we eat.

0:14:110:14:14

-Excellent.

-Shall we?

-Yeah.

0:14:140:14:16

A leg of lamb and a trifle?

0:14:210:14:24

That's what Matron said.

0:14:240:14:26

Some cold slices, she said.

0:14:260:14:27

Nothing fancy. She's changed her tune.

0:14:270:14:30

What's so special about this guest?

0:14:300:14:32

He's American. He sounds so funny. You should see his shoes.

0:14:320:14:36

Not likely I'll have a chance to, with a leg of lamb to roast.

0:14:360:14:39

What are those supposed to be?

0:14:390:14:41

I've not baked this badly since I were a girl.

0:14:430:14:45

I can't serve those.

0:14:460:14:48

Go on, back to class before Matron comes for both of us.

0:14:490:14:52

And I'm not one to sing my own praises,

0:14:530:14:55

but I am known as a rather fine pitcher back home,

0:14:550:14:59

and an even better hitter.

0:14:590:15:00

Now, it takes skill and focus and excellent eyesight.

0:15:000:15:05

Mr Benjamin tells me there are many opportunities for a woman of my

0:15:050:15:08

talents in America.

0:15:080:15:10

His insistent bragging is rather unseemly.

0:15:100:15:12

..winding the arm up...

0:15:120:15:14

I find it rather refreshing,

0:15:140:15:16

a man who confidently wears his ambition and success.

0:15:160:15:19

That's good.

0:15:190:15:20

You know, I'm sure I'd be a good pitcher.

0:15:230:15:25

I'd hit a home run.

0:15:250:15:26

You guys picked up the rules quickly.

0:15:260:15:28

These are clever boys. They're a credit to you.

0:15:280:15:30

I take the lead in the boys' education.

0:15:300:15:33

America always welcomes sharp young men.

0:15:340:15:37

No foundling ever goes to America.

0:15:370:15:40

Unless the Army sends us there.

0:15:400:15:42

Actually, one of our foundlings will be sailing to New York.

0:15:420:15:45

Harriet. She'll be joining the Asquiths there.

0:15:450:15:48

Come along, girls.

0:15:510:15:52

If she found it under my bed, I'll be punished.

0:15:550:15:58

If I get in trouble, maybe I won't be allowed to go to America.

0:15:580:16:01

Don't be silly, she can't do anything to stop you.

0:16:010:16:03

There must be a way to find that book.

0:16:030:16:05

It's probably in her office.

0:16:050:16:06

How far do you think it is?

0:16:060:16:08

Matron's office? Just down the corridor.

0:16:080:16:09

No, America.

0:16:090:16:11

It's such a long way.

0:16:110:16:13

What if she's hidden it in the library?

0:16:130:16:14

Do you think I should check the library?

0:16:140:16:16

-Mr Cranbourne.

-Nurse Macclesfield.

0:16:160:16:19

Hetty, I don't think I want...

0:16:210:16:23

No, it's probably in her office, don't you think?

0:16:230:16:25

Why ask me? You never listen anyway.

0:16:250:16:27

Well done, Harriet.

0:16:280:16:30

-You're going to America.

-Everybody knows.

0:16:300:16:33

But what if she's locked it away?

0:16:330:16:34

Right, boys. Pay close attention.

0:16:420:16:43

We will be doing a series of exercises for Matron's guest.

0:16:430:16:46

Ned, come along. Judd, stand up straight.

0:16:470:16:50

-Get back to it, boy.

-Get up!

0:16:500:16:51

Now, leg raises, please.

0:16:510:16:53

Any more jumping, and my food's going to come up.

0:16:530:16:56

Maybe there is a disease.

0:16:560:16:58

If Harriet's in America, then that's where I'm going to be.

0:16:580:17:00

How do you plan to do that? Stowaway?

0:17:000:17:02

-I was joking.

-Mr Cranbourne was ill last week,

0:17:050:17:08

and Nurse Winston said some of the junior girls had been ill.

0:17:080:17:11

The disease must be throughout the hospital.

0:17:110:17:14

-What is it?

-I'm not sure.

0:17:140:17:16

What if someone were making us ill deliberately?

0:17:160:17:19

Boys, get back into line!

0:17:190:17:22

I really do expect more of an effort from you all!

0:17:220:17:25

Our guest is going to see us at our best.

0:17:260:17:28

Some of the foundlings come to us from terrible circumstances.

0:17:300:17:34

I have made it my life's work to improve their lives, educating them,

0:17:350:17:40

nurturing them, running the staff.

0:17:400:17:42

A matron's work is never done.

0:17:420:17:44

And yet, perhaps it is.

0:17:440:17:45

At this hospital. I mean,

0:17:460:17:48

think of all the other children who still need a future,

0:17:480:17:50

-who go without...

-You've won me round, Matron.

0:17:500:17:53

And I dare say New York will be very impressed with you, too.

0:17:530:17:57

-Chester?

-How would you feel leaving behind your position here to go

0:17:570:18:00

to New York to take the reins at my hospital?

0:18:000:18:02

Am I asking too much?

0:18:030:18:05

No.

0:18:080:18:09

No, it would be an honour.

0:18:090:18:11

I would be delighted to go to New York.

0:18:120:18:14

Excellent.

0:18:140:18:15

Excellent!

0:18:170:18:18

Eyes front.

0:18:210:18:22

Now, boys, windmill arms, please.

0:18:230:18:26

WHISTLE BLOWS Left, right.

0:18:270:18:30

-Left, right.

-How's it going, Cranfield?

0:18:300:18:32

It's Cranbourne.

0:18:320:18:34

Stand up straight before she sees you.

0:18:390:18:41

But I feel rotten.

0:18:410:18:42

The girls, too.

0:18:470:18:48

Got it!

0:18:490:18:51

Some tea, Matron?

0:18:510:18:52

Come on, girls! No shilly-shallying.

0:18:540:18:57

Mr Benjamin, meet our cook.

0:18:570:19:00

-Sir.

-Pleasure's mine.

0:19:000:19:01

I'm looking forward to sampling your cooking.

0:19:010:19:04

That was a good job!

0:19:080:19:10

HE VOMITS

0:19:120:19:14

What on earth...?

0:19:150:19:17

Oh.

0:19:200:19:21

Poison!

0:19:220:19:23

-The food!

-I'll not have you besmirching my name, you little...

0:19:240:19:28

It's the flour. It's been poisoned for days, maybe even weeks.

0:19:280:19:32

-What are you saying?

-Keep quiet! What nonsense!

-Wait.

0:19:320:19:36

This boy has something to say, I want to hear him.

0:19:370:19:39

Thank you, sir.

0:19:390:19:41

Gid fell ill when he ate a lot of bread at breakfast.

0:19:410:19:44

And Judd ate all the leftover Yorkshire puddings.

0:19:440:19:46

But Mathias and I didn't have any of the bread, and we've not been sick.

0:19:460:19:50

Therefore, the flour must have been poisoned.

0:19:500:19:54

The new supplier.

0:19:540:19:55

Of course you haven't poisoned the children, Cook.

0:19:550:19:58

The boy just has an overactive imagination.

0:19:580:20:00

Why would anyone poison the flour?

0:20:000:20:01

I've read about this.

0:20:010:20:03

Criminal gangs mix flour with unsuitable ingredients,

0:20:030:20:07

chalk and the like.

0:20:070:20:08

They make a pretty penny, but it causes terrible sickness.

0:20:080:20:12

I knew something was wrong with the supplies, I said so!

0:20:120:20:15

None of my cakes were rising, pastries falling apart.

0:20:150:20:17

It wasn't my prize cooking at fault!

0:20:170:20:19

Wasn't the new supplier one of your contacts, Matron?

0:20:190:20:23

You seemed so very pleased with the deal.

0:20:230:20:25

Half the price of the previous supplier.

0:20:250:20:28

I cannot be expected to investigate the source of all our suppliers...

0:20:280:20:31

Well done, young man. Well done.

0:20:310:20:33

-Excellent work.

-Nurse.

0:20:330:20:35

Nurse, come and clean up this mess.

0:20:350:20:36

Mr Benjamin, shall we retire to lunch?

0:20:370:20:40

I'll have someone see to your shoes.

0:20:400:20:41

My shoes can wait. You're still needed here.

0:20:410:20:45

I'm sure Mr Cranbourne can cope.

0:20:450:20:47

Of course, Matron. You mustn't allow this unfortunate situation to delay

0:20:470:20:52

your visitor.

0:20:520:20:53

Shall we, Mr Benjamin, please?

0:20:530:20:55

So, Nurse, where shall we begin?

0:20:590:21:02

Vince, could you take Judd to the infirmary?

0:21:020:21:04

Of course, Nurse. Say hello to Constable Clark for me.

0:21:040:21:07

Chester, I must apologise again.

0:21:170:21:19

I will get to the bottom of this, and the culprits will be punished.

0:21:190:21:22

Sometimes I'm just let down by my staff.

0:21:220:21:25

But a staff is only as good as its leader.

0:21:250:21:28

Well, Mr Cranbourne and I jointly lead the hospital,

0:21:280:21:30

and he has disappointed me today.

0:21:300:21:32

Now, when would you like me to sail for New York, hmm?

0:21:320:21:35

I can make my arrangements immediately.

0:21:350:21:37

As a man of action, I am sure you would like me to start straightaway.

0:21:390:21:42

-And the sick foundlings?

-Oh, they will recover.

0:21:420:21:45

They are in good hands with Mr Cranbourne.

0:21:450:21:47

I see.

0:21:490:21:50

Unfortunately, I don't believe it would be right and proper for me to

0:21:510:21:54

steal you away, not when your services are still needed here.

0:21:540:21:58

Oh, please, Chester, what about our arrangement?

0:21:580:22:00

Matron Bottomley, those children require your full attention and...

0:22:000:22:04

I have troubled you long enough.

0:22:060:22:08

-Mr Benjamin...

-Goodbye, Matron.

0:22:080:22:10

I believe I can find my own way out.

0:22:100:22:13

I'm sure we can work this...

0:22:130:22:14

You just cannot help yourself, can you?

0:22:290:22:32

Oh, you silly girl.

0:22:320:22:33

If you just keep your head down,

0:22:370:22:39

you might have a chance of seeing your mother again,

0:22:390:22:41

or you might find yourself at the other end of the country.

0:22:410:22:44

-You can't do that!

-Oh, I can do what I like.

0:22:440:22:46

Harriet's position could still disappear just like that.

0:22:460:22:49

I saw the book, it's proof!

0:22:490:22:51

Proof of what?

0:22:510:22:53

Tell me, Hetty. What is it that you think you know?

0:22:560:22:59

Hmm?

0:23:000:23:01

You know nothing.

0:23:040:23:05

And besides, who would believe the word of a...

0:23:090:23:12

..disobedient little foundling over mine?

0:23:130:23:15

They believed Ned. Mr Benjamin listened to him.

0:23:150:23:19

In the morning, that will be ashes.

0:23:430:23:45

-You can't do...

-I've reached my limits with you, Hetty Feather,

0:23:450:23:47

and I promise you, you will suffer! Now get out!

0:23:470:23:50

It really was evidence of what she's been up to, and she burnt it.

0:24:170:24:20

She destroyed the evidence, don't you care?

0:24:240:24:27

It's always about you.

0:24:270:24:28

I don't want to hear anything about the book.

0:24:280:24:30

What's wrong? Is this about America?

0:24:300:24:32

-Because...

-Shut up about America.

0:24:320:24:34

Like you even care. Nobody does.

0:24:340:24:37

I'm just supposed to jump on a ship and sail away forever.

0:24:370:24:40

It's a big adventure - you can't be a baby about this.

0:24:400:24:43

I don't want it.

0:24:430:24:44

I don't want to leave everyone and everything behind.

0:24:440:24:47

Why didn't you say anything?

0:24:470:24:50

SHE SIGHS

0:24:500:24:52

I've been trying all day, Hetty, all day.

0:24:520:24:56

But all you care about is Matron.

0:24:560:24:58

It was our chance.

0:24:580:24:59

I had to try and stop her, I had to.

0:24:590:25:01

Bringing down Matron helps all of us.

0:25:010:25:03

Stop it!

0:25:030:25:05

This was never about helping foundlings.

0:25:050:25:08

It's about you against Matron.

0:25:080:25:10

That's not true!

0:25:100:25:11

You're selfish, Hetty, and you never listen.

0:25:110:25:14

To put those children's lives at risk

0:25:180:25:20

for the sake of a few shillings, it really is beyond belief.

0:25:200:25:23

We should never have changed suppliers.

0:25:230:25:25

I trusted them. But rest assured, I will deal with this swiftly.

0:25:250:25:28

A child could have been killed!

0:25:280:25:30

We must inform the governors, and perhaps the police.

0:25:300:25:32

Mr Cranbourne!

0:25:320:25:33

We must not jeopardise this hospital's reputation!

0:25:330:25:36

-If this were to get out...

-This is serious!

-I agree!

0:25:360:25:39

But we are going to change suppliers immediately.

0:25:410:25:44

Mr Cranbourne, we must work together on this.

0:25:440:25:47

You and I, you know how I depend on you.

0:25:470:25:49

How am I to ensure the same mistake will not happen again

0:25:510:25:54

without someone as honourable as...?

0:25:540:25:56

Someone as worldly as your good self by my side?

0:25:560:26:00

You are at the helm.

0:26:010:26:03

Yes, well, I...

0:26:070:26:09

should go and ensure that the boys are settled.

0:26:090:26:11

America.

0:26:310:26:32

A new opportunity.

0:26:340:26:36

'I tried to bring Matron down, and I failed.

0:26:380:26:41

'And I lost my best friend, too.

0:26:410:26:44

'But somewhere there had to be more proof.

0:26:440:26:47

'Even if I had to do it alone, I'd make sure that one day,

0:26:470:26:51

'everyone would know the truth about Matron.'

0:26:510:26:52

Foundling girls!

0:26:580:27:00

This ends now. Give it back.

0:27:000:27:02

I want something else first.

0:27:020:27:03

Maybe others would understand if they were your real friends.

0:27:050:27:08

-Be quiet, Sheila.

-Scaredy-cat, scaredy-cat.

0:27:080:27:11

Hand it over, you snake!

0:27:150:27:17

Boys, what are you doing?

0:27:170:27:18

Ida!

0:27:180:27:20

Wait, stop!

0:27:200:27:22

Stop! Please!
