12
00:03:15,571 --> 00:03:18,115
Well, that's what happens
when you deregulate.

13
00:03:18,115 --> 00:03:19,992

14
00:03:19,992 --> 00:03:22,703

26
00:03:54,568 --> 00:03:55,986
Hello, darling.

27
00:03:58,781 --> 00:04:00,491
I was worried this would be...

28
00:04:00,491 --> 00:04:02,326
- Huh?
- ...burnt on top.

29
00:04:09,917 --> 00:04:11,168
You all right?

30
00:04:11,168 --> 00:04:13,712
What?
- What's that?

31
00:04:13,712 --> 00:04:17,591
Well, what does it look like?
It's a button.

32
00:04:17,591 --> 00:04:19,843
- A button?
- Yes.

33
00:04:19,843 --> 00:04:23,013
Somebody just, uh,
put it in the tin.

34
00:04:23,013 --> 00:04:26,684
Honestly. People.

35
00:04:26,684 --> 00:04:29,186
Well, you never know
when it may come in handy.

36
00:04:31,772 --> 00:04:32,773
Hm.

37
00:04:50,874 --> 00:04:51,875
Oh.

38
00:04:54,628 --> 00:04:56,505
Oh, hello.
What have you got now?

39
00:04:57,506 --> 00:04:59,258
Oh, it's a typewriter.

40
00:04:59,258 --> 00:05:02,261
I know what it is,
but you've already got one.

41
00:05:02,261 --> 00:05:05,347
I know. It's not for me.
It's, um...

42
00:05:05,347 --> 00:05:08,142
They don't need it anymore
at the day centre,

43
00:05:08,142 --> 00:05:09,226
so I thought it would be
all right

44
00:05:09,226 --> 00:05:10,811
for the new care home.

45
00:05:10,811 --> 00:05:13,981
And, uh, we can hang on to it
in the meanwhile.

46
00:05:13,981 --> 00:05:15,399
- No.
- Huh?

47
00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:16,900
No.

48
00:05:16,900 --> 00:05:20,320
Why? Uh, I've also got
a desk outside.

49
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,740
- What? Where?
- Well, I haven't
brought it in yet but...

50
00:05:22,740 --> 00:05:24,825
- Oh, Nicky. It's too much.
- What?

51
00:05:24,825 --> 00:05:27,369
How will we fit everyone in
at Christmas?

52
00:05:27,369 --> 00:05:28,746
I don't know.

53
00:05:28,746 --> 00:05:29,913
They'll just have to shove up,
won't they?

54
00:05:29,913 --> 00:05:31,415
Your daughter is
seven months pregnant.

55
00:05:31,415 --> 00:05:33,834
- I know.
- She cannot "shove up".

56
00:05:33,834 --> 00:05:35,294
All right.

57
00:05:35,294 --> 00:05:37,171
Well, I'll move it all
to the study then.

58
00:05:37,171 --> 00:05:38,922
Oh, the study.

59
00:05:38,922 --> 00:05:41,216
I bet you have plenty
of room in the study.

60
00:05:41,216 --> 00:05:43,218
- God.
- Let's go and check the study.

61
00:05:45,012 --> 00:05:46,597
- Oh, Nicky.
Out.

62
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:49,892
Do you still need all this?

63
00:05:49,892 --> 00:05:52,311
Yes. Why?

64
00:05:52,311 --> 00:05:56,023
What... What's in
all these drawers?

65
00:05:56,023 --> 00:05:58,108
- Well, everything I think.
Darling.

66
00:06:00,819 --> 00:06:02,738
A domino, a biscuit

67
00:06:04,740 --> 00:06:07,201
and how many rubber bands
does one man need?

68
00:06:07,201 --> 00:06:09,787
I don't know.
I've never asked the question.

69
00:06:12,206 --> 00:06:15,626
And you've got to find
the right home for that.

70
00:06:15,626 --> 00:06:17,961
Somewhere it will
be appreciated.

71
00:06:20,756 --> 00:06:21,965
Please, Nicky,

72
00:06:23,050 --> 00:06:24,885
you have to let go.

73
00:06:24,885 --> 00:06:26,512
For your own sake.

74
00:07:31,285 --> 00:07:33,579
Oh, I'm so looking forward
to it.

75
00:07:33,579 --> 00:07:35,455
<i>Do you want me
to stay with him?</i>

76
00:07:35,455 --> 00:07:38,584
No, no. No, he'll be fine.

77
00:07:38,584 --> 00:07:40,294
<i>Okay, well,
maybe I'll just call him.</i>

78
00:07:40,294 --> 00:07:45,048
Yes. Yes.
He's a grown man.

79
00:07:48,177 --> 00:07:49,803
You don't have to wave me off.

80
00:07:49,803 --> 00:07:51,889
Of course I'm going
to wave you off.

81
00:07:51,889 --> 00:07:53,015
Everyone's here.

82
00:07:53,765 --> 00:07:54,766
Ah.

83
00:08:01,899 --> 00:08:03,066
Huh.

84
00:08:11,450 --> 00:08:13,535
Hm.

85
00:08:14,036 --> 00:08:15,913
Nicky,

86
00:08:15,913 --> 00:08:17,372
don't let yourself get...

87
00:08:17,372 --> 00:08:18,498
What?

88
00:08:18,498 --> 00:08:20,584
How you get.

89
00:08:20,584 --> 00:08:23,337
- I won't. Of course I won't.

90
00:08:23,337 --> 00:08:24,880
You have a wonderful time.

91
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,294
- Home.
Ah, Nicky.

92
00:09:04,294 --> 00:09:06,088
- You missed Martin.
- Damn.

93
00:09:07,464 --> 00:09:08,799
Two hearts. Kings.

94
00:09:08,799 --> 00:09:11,218
Uh, hello. Did Martin say
if he'd call back?

95
00:09:11,218 --> 00:09:12,928
Seven o'clock sharp.

96
00:09:12,928 --> 00:09:15,222
Oh.

97
00:09:15,222 --> 00:09:17,391
Thank you, mother.
You're very welcome, son.

98
00:09:19,017 --> 00:09:21,395
Isn't Martin the chap
he was supposed
to be going skiing with?

99
00:09:21,395 --> 00:09:24,856
Yes. But Martin is
in Prague now,

100
00:09:24,856 --> 00:09:26,441
helping refugees.

101
00:09:26,441 --> 00:09:27,943
Prague?

102
00:09:27,943 --> 00:09:29,528
Well, precisely.

103
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,825
- Hello?
<i>It's Martin.</i>

104
00:09:34,825 --> 00:09:36,159
<i>- Can you hear me? Nicky?</i>
- I... I can hear you.

105
00:09:36,159 --> 00:09:37,703
<i>- It's a terrible line.</i>
- I can hear you.

106
00:09:37,703 --> 00:09:39,079
<i>Listen, I'm not sure
you should come.</i>

107
00:09:39,079 --> 00:09:41,248
No, it's all arranged.
I have my ticket.

108
00:09:41,248 --> 00:09:43,125
<i>I have
to leave Prague tonight.</i>

109
00:09:43,125 --> 00:09:46,586
<i>I'll have a man called
Trevor Chadwick meet you.</i>

110
00:09:46,586 --> 00:09:49,506
<i>I'm so sorry.
It's just such a mess here.</i>

111
00:09:49,506 --> 00:09:50,507
Happy Christmas.

112
00:09:56,555 --> 00:09:58,056
So, you going?

113
00:09:58,056 --> 00:10:00,267
I am, yes.

114
00:10:03,687 --> 00:10:06,773
Everyone in Prague
is trying to get out.

115
00:10:06,773 --> 00:10:09,067
My son is trying to get in.

116
00:10:09,067 --> 00:10:11,695
Did you speak to Martin?

117
00:10:11,695 --> 00:10:15,615
I did. Uh, turns out
he's not gonna be there.

118
00:10:15,615 --> 00:10:17,784
He's escorting some refugees
out of the country

119
00:10:17,784 --> 00:10:19,786
and then he's heading
back home to London.

120
00:10:19,786 --> 00:10:22,039
- Nicky.
- Look, I have to do something.

121
00:10:22,039 --> 00:10:23,957
It... Is...

122
00:10:23,957 --> 00:10:26,376
And you, of all people,
should understand that.

123
00:10:26,376 --> 00:10:27,711
Isn't that what you taught me?

124
00:10:27,711 --> 00:10:29,755
Well, I can't just sit here
reading about it.

125
00:10:29,755 --> 00:10:31,214
These people need help.

126
00:10:31,214 --> 00:10:34,593
I was never in doubt
that the cause was just,

127
00:10:34,593 --> 00:10:36,053
only whether Prague is safe.

128
00:10:36,053 --> 00:10:37,220
It's only a week.

129
00:10:37,220 --> 00:10:39,514
Uh, I'll be back
before you even miss me.

130
00:10:39,514 --> 00:10:41,808
Nicky, it's not a joke.

131
00:10:41,808 --> 00:10:43,101
I know, I know.

132
00:10:44,102 --> 00:10:45,354
I'm sorry, but I...

133
00:10:47,105 --> 00:10:48,315
I have to go.

134
00:11:23,683 --> 00:11:24,684
Here we are.

135
00:11:28,021 --> 00:11:29,606
Mr Chadwick.
- This is Mr Winton.

136
00:11:29,606 --> 00:11:31,316
Evening.
- Now, don't go giving him

137
00:11:31,316 --> 00:11:32,901
a better room than me.

138
00:11:32,901 --> 00:11:34,861
All our rooms are the best
rooms, Mr Chadwick.

139
00:11:34,861 --> 00:11:36,446
Rudi takes good care of us.

140
00:11:36,446 --> 00:11:40,242
Welcome. And Miss Warriner
is in the bar.

141
00:11:42,285 --> 00:11:44,871
Oh, that's Doreen

142
00:11:44,871 --> 00:11:46,706
with one of our refugees.

143
00:11:47,666 --> 00:11:49,668
Over here.

144
00:11:53,004 --> 00:11:54,339
Her husband
was picked up

145
00:11:54,339 --> 00:11:55,924
on the street this morning.

146
00:11:57,467 --> 00:11:58,969
Picked up by?

147
00:11:58,969 --> 00:12:02,222
Doreen thinks Nazi spies
doing Hitler's dirty work.

148
00:12:02,222 --> 00:12:04,266
What will happen?
To him, I mean.

149
00:12:04,266 --> 00:12:07,310
Ah, thank you, thank you.

150
00:12:07,310 --> 00:12:08,687
He'll be dumped somewhere.

151
00:12:08,687 --> 00:12:10,063
Maybe alive,

152
00:12:10,897 --> 00:12:12,899
but probably not.

153
00:12:14,985 --> 00:12:16,653
You're Martin's
friend, the stockbroker.

154
00:12:16,653 --> 00:12:20,657
- Nicky. And you must be, uh...
- Unbelievably angry.

155
00:12:20,657 --> 00:12:22,117
So?
We've managed to get

156
00:12:22,117 --> 00:12:23,535
Monika into a safe house
for the night

157
00:12:23,535 --> 00:12:25,245
and her daughter
on the plane out tomorrow.

158
00:12:26,496 --> 00:12:28,999
Well,
that's something.

159
00:12:28,999 --> 00:12:31,751
So, Martin says you know
your way around a desk.

160
00:12:31,751 --> 00:12:33,170
That's quite an accolade.

161
00:12:33,170 --> 00:12:35,547
It is here.
Paperwork's everything.

162
00:12:39,217 --> 00:12:40,886
And can
I just ask, um,

163
00:12:40,886 --> 00:12:43,346
why... why was that woman's
husband taken?

164
00:12:43,346 --> 00:12:45,140
He ran a newspaper in Germany.

165
00:12:45,140 --> 00:12:46,933
Spoke out against the Nazis.

166
00:12:46,933 --> 00:12:48,560
When it got too dangerous,

167
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:49,978
they escaped over the border
into Czechoslovakia.

168
00:12:49,978 --> 00:12:51,313
- The Sudetenland.
- Where they thought

169
00:12:51,313 --> 00:12:52,689
they'd be safe.

170
00:12:52,689 --> 00:12:54,399
And so they fled
to Prague.

171
00:12:56,234 --> 00:12:57,444
All right, I've got
a lot to do.

172
00:12:57,444 --> 00:12:58,528
Taking supplies
to the camps tomorrow.

173
00:12:58,528 --> 00:12:59,905
I could use your help.

174
00:13:05,118 --> 00:13:07,496
Can I ask what
brought you out here?

175
00:13:07,496 --> 00:13:11,625
I came 10 years ago
for a study trip.

176
00:13:11,625 --> 00:13:15,712
I just... just love the place,
love the people.

177
00:13:15,712 --> 00:13:18,632
Now they're in trouble.
So I came back.

178
00:13:28,558 --> 00:13:30,810
Are they all
from the Sudetenland?

179
00:13:30,810 --> 00:13:32,521
Mostly.

180
00:13:32,521 --> 00:13:37,234
Some from Austria and Germany
who fled there first.

181
00:13:37,234 --> 00:13:39,986
Drive an hour north of here,
towards the German border,

182
00:13:39,986 --> 00:13:41,404
you'll see the towns
they ran from

183
00:13:41,404 --> 00:13:42,822
hung with Nazi flags.

184
00:13:51,289 --> 00:13:53,083
Dear God.

185
00:13:53,083 --> 00:13:55,335
I know. And there are
thousands more like this.

186
00:14:07,305 --> 00:14:09,724
<i>Ahoj,</i> Hana.
This is Nicholas Winton.

187
00:14:09,724 --> 00:14:10,976
He's here to help out.

188
00:14:11,893 --> 00:14:13,520
Oh.

189
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,814
Hana Hejdukova. Liaison
officer for Czech refugees.

190
00:14:15,814 --> 00:14:17,566
- Hello.
- Your first time

191
00:14:17,566 --> 00:14:20,860
- in Czechoslovakia?
- Yes, yes, it... Yes, it is.

192
00:14:20,860 --> 00:14:23,488
Shame you didn't come sooner.
When there was more of it.

193
00:14:23,488 --> 00:14:24,698
Hana.

194
00:14:26,575 --> 00:14:28,952
Um, can you get the others?

195
00:14:28,952 --> 00:14:31,746
Oh, there we go.

196
00:14:31,746 --> 00:14:33,665
So, you've managed
to get doctors out to them?

197
00:14:33,665 --> 00:14:36,835
Oh, plenty
of doctors already here.

198
00:14:36,835 --> 00:14:38,878
Lots of these children grew up
thinking the worst thing

199
00:14:38,878 --> 00:14:41,256
that was ever gonna happen
to them was piano practice.

200
00:14:44,593 --> 00:14:45,594
Nicky.

201
00:16:14,641 --> 00:16:15,850
- Hello.

202
00:16:20,230 --> 00:16:21,606
I'm so... I'm sorry,

203
00:16:21,606 --> 00:16:22,857
I haven't got anything.

204
00:16:24,359 --> 00:16:25,527
Oh, wait,

205
00:16:26,444 --> 00:16:28,196
now hold on a moment.

206
00:16:30,198 --> 00:16:31,658
- Chocolate.

207
00:16:33,868 --> 00:16:36,037
Here we go.

208
00:16:36,037 --> 00:16:37,622
Oh, yes,

209
00:16:37,622 --> 00:16:39,874
of course you'd like some
as well.

210
00:16:39,874 --> 00:16:42,168
- There we go.

211
00:16:42,168 --> 00:16:43,670
Oh.

212
00:16:43,670 --> 00:16:45,463
Let's see
how far we go.

213
00:16:45,463 --> 00:16:47,549
Oh, crikey.

214
00:16:47,549 --> 00:16:48,883
There's only a tiny bit.

215
00:16:48,883 --> 00:16:50,677
- And little bit for you.

216
00:16:50,677 --> 00:16:51,761
Little bit for you.

217
00:16:53,471 --> 00:16:55,014
That's it.
That's the last of it.

218
00:16:55,014 --> 00:16:56,891
- There you go.

219
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:05,150
I'm sorry. I'll, um...
I'll bring more, another day.

220
00:17:07,986 --> 00:17:09,320
<i>Foto, foto.</i>

221
00:17:13,032 --> 00:17:14,617
Yes, yes. It's a good idea.

222
00:17:15,577 --> 00:17:17,579
What's your name?

223
00:17:17,579 --> 00:17:19,038
- I'm Nicky.

224
00:17:19,038 --> 00:17:20,123
Can you say, "Nicky"?

225
00:17:22,292 --> 00:17:24,544
- There we go.

226
00:17:33,261 --> 00:17:35,555
How will these children
survive the winter?

227
00:17:35,555 --> 00:17:37,891
Well, they probably won't.

228
00:17:37,891 --> 00:17:39,768
And there are
a dozen more places like this.

229
00:17:41,853 --> 00:17:43,938
Surely, they should be
the priority,

230
00:17:43,938 --> 00:17:45,857
the children, families.

231
00:17:45,857 --> 00:17:48,193
My remit is
to rescue politicals

232
00:17:48,193 --> 00:17:50,028
at imminent risk of arrest.

233
00:17:50,028 --> 00:17:51,821
And I've hardly the money
or manpower for that.

234
00:17:51,821 --> 00:17:52,822
What about
the British government trains?

235
00:17:52,822 --> 00:17:54,491
The Kindertransport?

236
00:17:54,491 --> 00:17:56,493
It's only for children leaving
Germany and Austria.

237
00:17:56,493 --> 00:17:58,077
Not from Czechoslovakia.

238
00:17:58,077 --> 00:18:00,121
Unfortunately, His Majesty's
government refuses

239
00:18:00,121 --> 00:18:01,956
to believe these people
are in danger.

240
00:18:17,764 --> 00:18:19,390
How many
children are we talking about?

241
00:18:19,390 --> 00:18:20,809
Oh, well, we don't know.
That's part of the problem.

242
00:18:20,809 --> 00:18:24,354
Thousands. There's refugees
all over the city.

243
00:18:24,354 --> 00:18:25,897
Jewish people, especially.

244
00:18:25,897 --> 00:18:27,023
But anyone, really,
who doesn't fit

245
00:18:27,023 --> 00:18:28,358
into Hitler's master race.

246
00:18:28,358 --> 00:18:29,734
They're banned from travel

247
00:18:29,734 --> 00:18:31,402
and the UK's
refusing entry visas

248
00:18:31,402 --> 00:18:34,197
to families trying to get out.
It's chaos.

249
00:18:34,197 --> 00:18:36,032
Welcome to
the British Committee

250
00:18:36,032 --> 00:18:38,159
for Refugees
from Czechoslovakia.

251
00:18:38,159 --> 00:18:40,453
Hana, get him those files,
would you?

252
00:18:40,453 --> 00:18:42,205
That's quite a filing system.

253
00:18:42,205 --> 00:18:45,208
Yes. Well,
if the Germans
send in their spies,

254
00:18:45,208 --> 00:18:47,293
at least they won't be able
to find anything.

255
00:18:47,293 --> 00:18:49,128
- In any case,

256
00:18:49,128 --> 00:18:50,630
you're the one who's supposed
to be good with paperwork.

257
00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:51,714
This is you.

258
00:18:57,011 --> 00:18:59,430
Uh, yes, this report

259
00:18:59,430 --> 00:19:01,558
details
the political activists

260
00:19:01,558 --> 00:19:02,934
in and around Prague.

261
00:19:05,728 --> 00:19:07,981
What's this?

262
00:19:07,981 --> 00:19:11,401
The Führer's travel plans
in black and white.

263
00:19:11,401 --> 00:19:13,361
He's got his sights set
on half of Europe.

264
00:19:13,361 --> 00:19:14,863
It's just a question of when.

265
00:19:16,197 --> 00:19:17,615
Who else has seen it?

266
00:19:17,615 --> 00:19:18,825
Half of Prague, I imagine.

267
00:19:21,035 --> 00:19:23,121
Meant to intimidate.

268
00:19:23,121 --> 00:19:25,331
Hitler's never made any secret
of his ambitions.

269
00:19:25,331 --> 00:19:26,916
The allies banked
on appeasing him

270
00:19:26,916 --> 00:19:28,668
with a fat slice
of this country.

271
00:19:28,668 --> 00:19:30,211
Now the vicious shit's just
gonna take the rest of it.

272
00:19:31,629 --> 00:19:34,299
The children.
We have to move them.

273
00:19:34,299 --> 00:19:36,301
Says the man
who arrived yesterday.

274
00:19:36,301 --> 00:19:38,720
Well, I'm not suggesting
it's gonna be easy.

275
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:43,057
A mass transit of children
without money or... or visas?

276
00:19:43,057 --> 00:19:44,809
Well, we'll find a way.

277
00:19:44,809 --> 00:19:48,104
How long are you here for?
A week?

278
00:19:48,104 --> 00:19:49,397
And then you're back
to your bank.

279
00:19:49,397 --> 00:19:50,732
Can we please put that aside
for now?

280
00:19:50,732 --> 00:19:53,026
Well, can we please
be realistic?

281
00:19:53,026 --> 00:19:54,694
We can't give
these people false hope.

282
00:19:54,694 --> 00:19:59,032
Look, we... we have to believe
that this might be possible.

283
00:19:59,032 --> 00:20:00,909
Look...

284
00:20:00,909 --> 00:20:03,661
Let me try. Let... Let...
Let me

285
00:20:03,661 --> 00:20:05,747
find out the scale
of the problem.

286
00:20:05,747 --> 00:20:09,876
You know, how many children,
names and ages,

287
00:20:09,876 --> 00:20:11,085
where they're living.

288
00:20:12,712 --> 00:20:13,963
There must be
existing information.

289
00:20:17,592 --> 00:20:20,762
Well, the vulnerable groups,
they do have lists.

290
00:20:20,762 --> 00:20:24,265
But, they are scared
to share them.

291
00:20:24,265 --> 00:20:27,226
Well, then, we need
to earn their trust.

292
00:20:28,227 --> 00:20:30,229
We need those lists.

293
00:20:30,229 --> 00:20:31,564
So, we have to persuade them.

294
00:20:33,483 --> 00:20:35,109
Please, let me try.

295
00:20:39,489 --> 00:20:42,533
Good afternoon.
Uh, my name is Winton.

296
00:20:42,533 --> 00:20:44,702
Nicholas Winton.

297
00:20:44,702 --> 00:20:47,038
Yes, I'm ringing from
the British Committee

298
00:20:47,038 --> 00:20:49,040
for Refugees
from Czechoslovakia.

299
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,001
Well, I'm looking to obtain
a list of vulnerable children.

300
00:20:54,337 --> 00:20:57,173
No, I understand, but we will
have everything in place.

301
00:20:57,173 --> 00:20:58,800
- Hello? Hello?

302
00:21:06,182 --> 00:21:09,143
Yes.
May I at least come and meet?

303
00:21:11,020 --> 00:21:12,814
Thank you for seeing me.

304
00:21:12,814 --> 00:21:14,315
How could I resist?

305
00:21:14,315 --> 00:21:16,359
You're offering to get
children out of Prague.

306
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:17,443
A lot of them.

307
00:21:17,443 --> 00:21:19,112
That is correct.

308
00:21:19,112 --> 00:21:21,406
Hitler will be thrilled
to know you're helping him

309
00:21:21,406 --> 00:21:22,865
eradicate Jews
from the region.

310
00:21:26,327 --> 00:21:30,248
With... With respect, uh,
I'm moving children

311
00:21:30,248 --> 00:21:33,001
of all faiths and none.

312
00:21:33,001 --> 00:21:34,544
Separating them
from their families,

313
00:21:34,544 --> 00:21:37,255
perhaps from their religion?

314
00:21:37,255 --> 00:21:40,008
Accommodating them
in safe homes,

315
00:21:40,008 --> 00:21:42,635
with families in foster homes.

316
00:21:42,635 --> 00:21:43,845
Jewish foster homes?

317
00:21:47,098 --> 00:21:49,350
I don't know.

318
00:21:49,350 --> 00:21:51,436
I don't think
that's a question for now.

319
00:21:51,436 --> 00:21:54,147
But it's a question
I'm asking.

320
00:21:54,147 --> 00:21:56,816
You are not the only person
at this table

321
00:21:56,816 --> 00:21:58,568
concerned about the well-being
of Jewish children.

322
00:21:58,568 --> 00:22:01,237
Parents in London
are preparing

323
00:22:01,237 --> 00:22:03,197
to send their children
out of the city

324
00:22:03,197 --> 00:22:05,074
to safety in the event
of a war.

325
00:22:05,074 --> 00:22:08,536
What I'm proposing
is no different.

326
00:22:08,536 --> 00:22:11,205
Your children would
be protected

327
00:22:11,205 --> 00:22:14,000
and returned to their families
as soon as it's safe.

328
00:22:16,794 --> 00:22:19,213
Are you Jewish, Mr Winton?

329
00:22:22,425 --> 00:22:24,635
Why would you ask that?

330
00:22:24,635 --> 00:22:27,430
Because I wonder why a person
would undertake

331
00:22:27,430 --> 00:22:30,224
this daunting task for people

332
00:22:30,224 --> 00:22:32,643
to whom he has
no real allegiance,

333
00:22:32,643 --> 00:22:35,271
in a place where
he does not belong.

334
00:22:38,524 --> 00:22:40,193
You're a stockbroker
from London

335
00:22:41,527 --> 00:22:43,488
with a comfortable life,
I presume.

336
00:22:44,614 --> 00:22:46,741
You've done some research.

337
00:22:46,741 --> 00:22:50,870
It is a serious matter.
So, why are you doing this?

338
00:22:50,870 --> 00:22:53,748
What I mean is,
who are you, Mr Winton?

339
00:22:54,874 --> 00:22:56,000
Well...

340
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,336
My father's family

341
00:22:58,336 --> 00:23:02,590
came from Germany
to London in the 1870s.

342
00:23:02,590 --> 00:23:04,884
Till just a few months ago,
we were Wertheims.

343
00:23:06,302 --> 00:23:07,678
We went through the last war

344
00:23:07,678 --> 00:23:10,681
with a German surname
and my mother...

345
00:23:10,681 --> 00:23:14,393
my mother couldn't stand
doing it again, so...

346
00:23:14,393 --> 00:23:17,814
And my grandparents
on both sides were Jewish.

347
00:23:20,108 --> 00:23:23,027
But I was baptised
in the Church of England.

348
00:23:23,027 --> 00:23:24,403
So,

349
00:23:26,072 --> 00:23:27,573
I don't know
what you'd call me.

350
00:23:27,573 --> 00:23:28,908
I would call you a Jew.

351
00:23:32,203 --> 00:23:34,622
I consider myself a European,

352
00:23:35,915 --> 00:23:37,041
an agnostic,

353
00:23:38,417 --> 00:23:39,418
and a Socialist.

354
00:23:41,254 --> 00:23:43,506
There are children here,

355
00:23:45,383 --> 00:23:49,554
living in fields, in the open,
in... in... in mud...

356
00:23:51,639 --> 00:23:53,349
The worst of winter's
still to come

357
00:23:53,349 --> 00:23:56,018
and under the threat
of Nazi invasion.

358
00:23:57,186 --> 00:23:58,521
I have seen this

359
00:23:59,647 --> 00:24:00,982
and I cannot unsee it.

360
00:24:03,025 --> 00:24:07,405
And because I may be able
to do something about it,

361
00:24:09,574 --> 00:24:10,575
I must.

362
00:24:12,034 --> 00:24:13,411
At least try.

363
00:24:18,291 --> 00:24:20,251
The task you propose

364
00:24:21,335 --> 00:24:23,629
requires money and visas.

365
00:24:23,629 --> 00:24:25,631
I don't have them. Yet.

366
00:24:30,553 --> 00:24:31,971
But I'll get them.

367
00:24:43,524 --> 00:24:46,277
If I send these children
to you,

368
00:24:46,277 --> 00:24:49,614
I'm placing their lives
in your hands.

369
00:24:49,614 --> 00:24:51,782
A very great responsibility.

370
00:24:51,782 --> 00:24:54,869
So, in the end, Mr Winton,

371
00:24:56,662 --> 00:24:58,748
it is a question of trust.

372
00:25:03,085 --> 00:25:05,004
In Hebrew, there is a saying.

373
00:25:14,513 --> 00:25:16,390
Don't start
what you can't finish.

374
00:25:29,904 --> 00:25:32,281
Hampstead, 7946.

375
00:25:32,281 --> 00:25:33,199
Mother?

376
00:25:33,199 --> 00:25:35,451
Nicky! So good to hear you.

377
00:25:35,451 --> 00:25:36,577
Now, listen, I can't be long.

378
00:25:36,577 --> 00:25:38,704
<i>No, of course not. No, uh...</i>

379
00:25:38,704 --> 00:25:39,914
But are you all right?

380
00:25:39,914 --> 00:25:41,290
<i>Are you safe?</i>

381
00:25:41,290 --> 00:25:42,708
I'm perfectly fine.

382
00:25:42,708 --> 00:25:44,835
<i>You don't sound
very convincing.</i>

383
00:25:44,835 --> 00:25:46,379
Just tell me
you're coming home, yes?

384
00:25:46,379 --> 00:25:48,214
Yes, yes, now, listen.

385
00:25:48,214 --> 00:25:49,757
<i>I need you
to do something for me.</i>

386
00:25:50,299 --> 00:25:51,801
Tell me.

387
00:25:51,801 --> 00:25:53,344
<i>And I'm afraid it's not
going to be easy.</i>

388
00:25:55,721 --> 00:25:57,723
Hello, Rudi, I'd like
to send a telegram.

389
00:25:57,723 --> 00:25:59,350
Yes, certainly, sir,
just a moment.

390
00:26:02,687 --> 00:26:04,897
To, Mr Hart, H-A-R-T...

391
00:26:04,897 --> 00:26:06,190
"H-A-R-T."

392
00:26:06,190 --> 00:26:09,026
At Crews Brothers, stockbrokers.

393
00:26:09,026 --> 00:26:10,069
Slight change of plan.

394
00:26:10,069 --> 00:26:13,406
"Slight change."
- Stop.

395
00:26:13,406 --> 00:26:16,367
Working Prague with Refugees.

396
00:26:17,702 --> 00:26:19,036
<i>Return to office delayed.</i>

397
00:26:30,464 --> 00:26:33,009
He thought
you were official. German.

398
00:26:33,009 --> 00:26:35,469
Oh, no, no, no.
I'm sorry. Um...

399
00:26:35,469 --> 00:26:38,306
No, I'm... I'm... I'm trying
to help the families.

400
00:26:47,481 --> 00:26:50,276
- Madam.
- Oh.

401
00:26:50,276 --> 00:26:53,279
Good morning. My name
is Babette Winton.

402
00:26:53,279 --> 00:26:56,699
I'd like to speak
to someone in immigration.

403
00:26:56,699 --> 00:26:58,159
And where have
you arrived from?

404
00:26:58,159 --> 00:27:00,995
From Hampstead, on the 24 bus.

405
00:27:00,995 --> 00:27:03,789
I'm a British citizen
seeking your advice.

406
00:27:03,789 --> 00:27:06,083
- Do you have an appoint...
- An appointment? No.

407
00:27:06,083 --> 00:27:07,668
But I'm happy to wait.

408
00:27:22,975 --> 00:27:24,185
Mr Jovak?

409
00:27:24,727 --> 00:27:25,811
Here.

410
00:27:25,811 --> 00:27:27,021
Come this way, please.

411
00:27:32,735 --> 00:27:33,903
<i>Anyone else?</i>

412
00:27:33,903 --> 00:27:37,198
Yes, actually, um,
there was a young girl

413
00:27:37,198 --> 00:27:39,825
that I first saw when Doreen
brought me here, um...

414
00:27:39,825 --> 00:27:41,285
She was about 11 or 12.

415
00:27:41,285 --> 00:27:43,371
She had a very young
baby sister.

416
00:27:43,371 --> 00:27:45,206
Applications are considered
according to protocol...

417
00:27:45,206 --> 00:27:47,708
Oh, protocol. That is
a meaningless phrase.

418
00:27:47,708 --> 00:27:50,711
You repeating it ad infinitum
really doesn't help.

419
00:27:50,711 --> 00:27:54,382
These are
unaccompanied children.

420
00:27:54,382 --> 00:27:55,841
They're children,
they are desperate,

421
00:27:55,841 --> 00:27:57,093
and they are starving.

422
00:27:57,093 --> 00:27:58,719
Like many poorer
British children.

423
00:27:58,719 --> 00:28:01,347
British children are not
facing the threat

424
00:28:01,347 --> 00:28:03,057
of imminent Nazi invasion.

425
00:28:03,057 --> 00:28:06,018
Mrs Winton, there are
other people waiting.

426
00:28:10,064 --> 00:28:11,607
If you don't mind...

427
00:28:11,607 --> 00:28:14,735
Young man, I have something
to tell you. Sit down.

428
00:28:22,535 --> 00:28:27,540
I came here 30 years ago,
from Germany, to marry.

429
00:28:27,540 --> 00:28:29,750
I raised my family here.

430
00:28:29,750 --> 00:28:32,378
My husband is buried here.

431
00:28:32,378 --> 00:28:37,091
And what I have most admired
about this country

432
00:28:37,091 --> 00:28:41,137
is its commitment
to decency, kindness,

433
00:28:41,137 --> 00:28:43,639
and respect for others.

434
00:28:43,639 --> 00:28:46,892
I raised my son in accordance
with these values

435
00:28:46,892 --> 00:28:51,147
and he is in Prague, now,
as we speak,

436
00:28:51,147 --> 00:28:54,984
putting these values
into practice.

437
00:28:54,984 --> 00:28:58,404
I am merely asking you
to do the same.

438
00:28:58,404 --> 00:29:00,030
Is that too much to ask?

439
00:29:07,913 --> 00:29:10,791
Ask your questions,
Mrs Winton.

440
00:29:10,791 --> 00:29:14,086
Thank you. Now, I need you
to concentrate

441
00:29:14,086 --> 00:29:15,838
and I need you
to be very clear.

442
00:29:20,551 --> 00:29:21,677
She's 12.

443
00:29:40,738 --> 00:29:44,200
They don't know
whose baby it is. No one does.

444
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:45,910
She is helping care for her.

445
00:29:48,913 --> 00:29:51,123
But what about the parents?

446
00:29:52,708 --> 00:29:55,753
Hm, taken or dead.

447
00:30:07,681 --> 00:30:09,642
Right.

448
00:30:10,643 --> 00:30:11,644
Let's get on.

449
00:30:33,791 --> 00:30:35,543
<i>This is Maidenhead, 3310.</i>

450
00:30:35,543 --> 00:30:38,254
<i>Nicholas and Grete Winton.
Please leave a message.</i>

451
00:30:40,339 --> 00:30:42,049
<i>Hi, Dad.</i>

452
00:30:42,049 --> 00:30:45,094
<i>It's just me checking in
to see you're okay.</i>

453
00:30:45,094 --> 00:30:47,012
<i>We're all right. Had just been
to the clinic,</i>

454
00:30:47,012 --> 00:30:49,181
<i>everything's fine
with the baby.</i>

455
00:30:49,181 --> 00:30:50,724
<i>Mum says that you're thinking</i>

456
00:30:50,724 --> 00:30:52,851
<i>about what to do
with the briefcase.</i>

457
00:30:52,851 --> 00:30:54,353
<i>Um...</i>

458
00:30:54,353 --> 00:30:56,689
<i>I know that won't
be easy for you.</i>

459
00:30:56,689 --> 00:30:59,817
<i>I'm here if you wanna
talk about it.</i>

460
00:30:59,817 --> 00:31:01,610
<i>Hope you're swimming lots.</i>

461
00:32:49,593 --> 00:32:53,305
In Munich,
Nazis took my brothers.

462
00:32:53,305 --> 00:32:56,475
My nephews tried to stop them,

463
00:32:56,475 --> 00:33:00,646
12, 10 years old, just boys.

464
00:33:00,646 --> 00:33:04,316
They were beaten and thrown
down the stairs

465
00:33:04,316 --> 00:33:06,610
and taken to the camps.

466
00:33:13,951 --> 00:33:16,662
Eva and Vera.

467
00:33:16,662 --> 00:33:19,039
These are my sister's boys,

468
00:33:19,039 --> 00:33:22,126
Honza and Tommy.

469
00:33:22,126 --> 00:33:25,254
Our family name is Diamantova.

470
00:33:29,133 --> 00:33:30,426
Oh, thank you.

471
00:33:32,344 --> 00:33:33,345
That's Vera.

472
00:33:34,221 --> 00:33:36,098
Eva.

473
00:33:36,098 --> 00:33:37,182
Honza, Tommy.

474
00:33:39,476 --> 00:33:42,146
Oh, what happened here?

475
00:33:42,146 --> 00:33:45,899
She fell. Skiing.
She loves the mountains.

476
00:33:45,899 --> 00:33:48,193
Oh. You like...
You like skiing?

477
00:33:48,193 --> 00:33:49,695
I love skiing.

478
00:33:55,784 --> 00:33:58,162
Skiing
and swimming.

479
00:33:58,162 --> 00:34:00,914
And swimming? Me too.

480
00:34:03,083 --> 00:34:04,877
- Morning, Rudi.
- Morning.

481
00:34:04,877 --> 00:34:06,378
Would you mind putting a call
through to this number for me?

482
00:34:06,378 --> 00:34:08,380
- Of course. Give me a moment.
- Thank you.

483
00:34:08,380 --> 00:34:11,091
And Mr Winton,
you have a telegram.

484
00:34:11,091 --> 00:34:12,593
Oh. Thank you.

485
00:34:27,149 --> 00:34:28,942
Mr Winton, your call.

486
00:34:28,942 --> 00:34:31,570
Cabin number two.

487
00:34:31,570 --> 00:34:33,530
<i>Nicky,
you will not believe</i>

488
00:34:33,530 --> 00:34:36,158
<i>- what they are asking for.</i>
- All right, I'm ready.

489
00:34:36,158 --> 00:34:39,411
<i>A separate visa application
for each child.</i>

490
00:34:39,411 --> 00:34:42,372
An individual sponsor
who must promise to pay

491
00:34:42,372 --> 00:34:45,083
<i>for all the child's needs.</i>

492
00:34:45,083 --> 00:34:50,172
And a fee of 50 pounds to pay
for their eventual return.

493
00:34:50,172 --> 00:34:51,799
- Fifty pounds?
<i>- Yes, I know.</i>

494
00:34:51,799 --> 00:34:52,883
Wait, there's more.

495
00:34:54,134 --> 00:34:55,928
A medical certificate,

496
00:34:55,928 --> 00:34:59,139
uh, and a foster parent
to care for the child

497
00:34:59,139 --> 00:35:00,766
till the age of 17

498
00:35:00,766 --> 00:35:03,477
or until they are able
to return home.

499
00:35:03,477 --> 00:35:04,853
Christ, Nicky!

500
00:35:04,853 --> 00:35:05,938
Yeah.

501
00:35:07,439 --> 00:35:08,941
Nicky?

502
00:35:10,025 --> 00:35:11,902
Mr Slonek. Hello.

503
00:35:11,902 --> 00:35:14,488
Hello, hello. Uh...

504
00:35:14,488 --> 00:35:16,323
I have changed my mind.

505
00:35:16,323 --> 00:35:18,367
Here are, uh, photos,

506
00:35:18,367 --> 00:35:21,870
I believe now
you will help them?

507
00:35:25,958 --> 00:35:28,126
Jan. Petr.

508
00:35:29,545 --> 00:35:31,880
- And... Karel. Karel.
Karel.

509
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,926
When will they go... please?

510
00:35:38,136 --> 00:35:39,429
What did I miss?

511
00:35:39,429 --> 00:35:41,139
Nicky was just saying
we have to assume

512
00:35:41,139 --> 00:35:42,891
that this is happening.

513
00:35:42,891 --> 00:35:44,184
Yeah.

514
00:35:44,184 --> 00:35:46,061
We are moving the children.

515
00:35:46,061 --> 00:35:47,855
In big groups. By train.

516
00:35:47,855 --> 00:35:49,022
That's a two-day trip,

517
00:35:49,022 --> 00:35:50,440
which would mean
crossing Holland

518
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:51,984
and the Dutch have shut
their borders

519
00:35:51,984 --> 00:35:53,110
to Jewish refugees.

520
00:35:53,110 --> 00:35:55,404
And they'd have
to cross Germany.

521
00:35:55,404 --> 00:35:57,030
Yes, but they'd only
be passing through

522
00:35:57,030 --> 00:35:58,407
and on British visas.

523
00:35:58,407 --> 00:36:00,367
With British
foster parents waiting.

524
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:01,869
Well, that is, if you can find
British foster parents.

525
00:36:01,869 --> 00:36:05,581
There are a thousand children
on that list.

526
00:36:05,581 --> 00:36:08,584
The welcome may not be as warm
as you're all imagining.

527
00:36:08,584 --> 00:36:11,253
Then we have
to heat things up.

528
00:36:11,253 --> 00:36:13,338
We have to get
the press working.

529
00:36:13,338 --> 00:36:16,258
Get them moving
and on our side.

530
00:36:16,258 --> 00:36:18,635
Ordinary people
wouldn't stand for this

531
00:36:18,635 --> 00:36:22,264
if they knew what
was actually happening.

532
00:36:22,264 --> 00:36:24,725
You've a lot of faith
in ordinary people.

533
00:36:26,393 --> 00:36:30,314
I do because
I'm an ordinary person.

534
00:36:30,314 --> 00:36:31,398
So am I.

535
00:36:32,566 --> 00:36:34,443
And me.

536
00:36:34,443 --> 00:36:36,486
Well, there you go.

537
00:36:36,486 --> 00:36:38,155
That's just what we need,
isn't it?

538
00:36:39,156 --> 00:36:41,617
An army of the ordinary.

539
00:36:41,617 --> 00:36:45,746
Nicky, you should go back
to London, raise funds.

540
00:36:46,371 --> 00:36:47,539
Raise a stink.

541
00:36:47,539 --> 00:36:49,666
I can do that. No problem.

542
00:36:49,666 --> 00:36:51,126
What about your job
in the bank?

543
00:36:51,126 --> 00:36:53,253
Well, stock market closes
at half past three.

544
00:36:53,253 --> 00:36:55,672
And I'll take care
of this end.

545
00:36:55,672 --> 00:36:57,507
- With Hana's help?
- Of course.

546
00:36:57,507 --> 00:36:59,259
Oh, God.

547
00:36:59,259 --> 00:37:01,219
We're actually doing this,
aren't we?

548
00:37:03,305 --> 00:37:05,724
Here's to the children's
section of the BCRC.

549
00:37:05,724 --> 00:37:07,726
There isn't one.
- There is now.

550
00:37:08,894 --> 00:37:10,145
All those in favour.

551
00:37:16,318 --> 00:37:18,737
Nicky, if I may.

552
00:37:18,737 --> 00:37:20,989
What are you doing?
Excuse me.

553
00:37:20,989 --> 00:37:23,033
My God.

554
00:37:23,033 --> 00:37:25,202
- Those your socks?

555
00:37:25,202 --> 00:37:26,286
Look,
you'll need something

556
00:37:26,286 --> 00:37:27,496
for all that paperwork.

557
00:37:28,997 --> 00:37:30,248
Thank you.

558
00:37:47,724 --> 00:37:50,102
<i>To</i> The Times'
<i>letter section.</i>

559
00:37:50,102 --> 00:37:53,522
<i>Dear sir, I have just returned
from Prague,</i>

560
00:37:53,522 --> 00:37:55,649
where I was assessing the fate

561
00:37:55,649 --> 00:37:58,276
of refugees in the city.

562
00:37:58,276 --> 00:38:01,363
<i>Among the many
unfortunate souls,</i>

563
00:38:01,363 --> 00:38:03,949
<i>I found about 2,000 children</i>

00:38:04,866 --> 00:38:06,618
living in damp,

565
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:09,663
overcrowded camps.

566
00:38:09,663 --> 00:38:12,582
Overcrowded, insanitary camps.

567
00:38:12,582 --> 00:38:14,501
- Yes, true.

568
00:38:14,501 --> 00:38:16,211
In one of the camps,

569
00:38:16,211 --> 00:38:18,672
several have already
succumbed to disease.

570
00:38:20,090 --> 00:38:23,885
<i>I saw a mother cradling
her dead child.</i>

571
00:38:23,885 --> 00:38:26,304
<i>The thousands struggling
to survive</i>

572
00:38:26,304 --> 00:38:29,224
<i>find themselves facing
the threat of Nazi invasion</i>

573
00:38:29,224 --> 00:38:31,977
<i>and the horrors
that will bring.</i>

574
00:38:31,977 --> 00:38:35,063

575

576
00:38:39,276 --> 00:38:44,406

582
00:38:58,962 --> 00:39:01,173
Crikey, Nicky,
Hart's been apoplectic.

583
00:39:01,173 --> 00:39:02,549
Oh, well.

584
00:39:02,549 --> 00:39:03,884
There goes your bonus.

585
00:39:18,315 --> 00:39:19,316
Mother.

586
00:39:20,192 --> 00:39:22,027
Sorry. Thank you.

587
00:39:28,033 --> 00:39:29,743
I've seen your letter
in the press.

588
00:39:29,743 --> 00:39:31,953
Well, then you understand
the urgency.

589
00:39:33,371 --> 00:39:34,623
The process...

590
00:39:34,623 --> 00:39:36,917
Our first group
consists of 20 children

591
00:39:36,917 --> 00:39:38,627
who are in the most dire need.

592
00:39:38,627 --> 00:39:41,296
They will arrive by train
into Liverpool Street Station

593
00:39:41,296 --> 00:39:43,131
in two weeks' time.

594
00:39:45,634 --> 00:39:49,596
Yes, two weeks, a fortnight.

595
00:39:49,596 --> 00:39:52,599
Which is why we're
asking for your help to...

596
00:39:52,599 --> 00:39:53,975
to accelerate the process.

597
00:39:53,975 --> 00:39:56,186
Applications are dealt
with in turn.

598
00:39:56,186 --> 00:39:57,521
The process takes time.

599
00:39:57,521 --> 00:39:59,106
We don't have time.

600
00:39:59,106 --> 00:40:01,608
The German army could
cross the border any day.

601
00:40:04,903 --> 00:40:07,197
Mr Leadbetter...

602
00:40:07,197 --> 00:40:10,617
these are your children, yes?

603
00:40:10,617 --> 00:40:11,993
- They are.
- There are families

604
00:40:11,993 --> 00:40:15,664
just like this,
just like yours,

605
00:40:15,664 --> 00:40:18,834
living in conditions
you cannot imagine.

606
00:40:18,834 --> 00:40:20,836
The threat of war
hangs over them.

607
00:40:20,836 --> 00:40:23,255
What they have done for you

608
00:40:23,255 --> 00:40:26,716
is to stand
against Nazi expansionism.

609
00:40:26,716 --> 00:40:28,927
All they ask, in return,

610
00:40:28,927 --> 00:40:32,013
is a temporary refuge
for their children.

611
00:40:32,013 --> 00:40:35,809
From whatever horror
is yet to come.

612
00:40:35,809 --> 00:40:38,645
Isn't that the least
this country should offer?

613
00:40:42,983 --> 00:40:44,651
Provided your paperwork
is in order.

614
00:40:44,651 --> 00:40:45,986
It is in perfect order.

615
00:40:47,571 --> 00:40:49,156
Then I'll do my best.

616
00:40:49,156 --> 00:40:52,993
Two weeks, where are we going
to find the money?

617
00:40:53,910 --> 00:40:54,911
We'll find it.

618
00:40:54,911 --> 00:40:57,497
In two weeks?

619
00:40:57,497 --> 00:41:00,792
- And the foster families?
- I know. We'll do it.

620
00:41:00,792 --> 00:41:03,253
Olga Santer...
Santer, yes.

621
00:41:03,253 --> 00:41:06,715
... and Petr Slonek.
Slonek, Petr, yes.

622
00:41:11,553 --> 00:41:13,722
Right. It's a start.

623
00:41:25,984 --> 00:41:28,653
<i>Jan Slonek, number 174.</i>

624
00:41:29,654 --> 00:41:32,157
Petr Slonek, 144.

625
00:41:35,368 --> 00:41:36,578
<i>Rosa Lenart,</i>

626
00:41:37,370 --> 00:41:40,415
number 529.

627
00:41:40,415 --> 00:41:42,667
Good.
Tommy Katschinsky,

628
00:41:42,667 --> 00:41:45,670
number nine.
Michael Lappert, 46.

629
00:41:45,670 --> 00:41:48,298
- Landesmann, 19.
Next.

630
00:41:48,298 --> 00:41:49,966
<i>Jacob...</i>

631
00:41:49,966 --> 00:41:52,886
<i>...number twenty-four.</i>

632
00:41:55,805 --> 00:41:58,141
<i>I have a family
from Shropshire</i>

633
00:41:58,141 --> 00:42:01,686
<i>that will take a girl,
8 to 11 years,</i>

634
00:42:01,686 --> 00:42:03,855
<i>and Mr and Mrs Horrell</i>

635
00:42:03,855 --> 00:42:06,566
that will take a boy,
just one,

636
00:42:06,566 --> 00:42:09,986
but ideally under eight
and brown haired.

637
00:42:09,986 --> 00:42:11,821
There you go.

638
00:42:15,575 --> 00:42:17,369
Martin.

639
00:42:17,369 --> 00:42:19,162
So sorry I wasn't
with you in Prague.

640
00:42:19,162 --> 00:42:20,538
Not at all.

641
00:42:20,538 --> 00:42:23,458
Anyway, I'm here now.
What can I do?

642
00:42:23,458 --> 00:42:26,294
Well, we've got, uh,
20 children ready to travel

643
00:42:26,294 --> 00:42:27,879
and only eight foster homes.

644
00:42:27,879 --> 00:42:29,965
There's plenty of people
who'd gladly take a child,

645
00:42:29,965 --> 00:42:31,675
but they can't raise
the 50 pounds guarantee.

646
00:42:31,675 --> 00:42:36,221
So, that's what we need
most right now. It's money.

647
00:42:36,221 --> 00:42:37,472
Let me make some calls.

648
00:42:38,181 --> 00:42:39,182
Phone?

649
00:42:39,182 --> 00:42:41,184
Come with me. Coffee?

650
00:42:41,184 --> 00:42:43,645
Nicky, five pounds!

651
00:42:43,645 --> 00:42:47,899
Five pounds, 20 pounds from
the Girl Guides and then...

652
00:42:47,899 --> 00:42:50,402
That's 100 in one day!

653
00:42:50,402 --> 00:42:53,863
<i>And then</i> Picture Post <i>has
raised 90 pounds.</i>

654
00:43:15,176 --> 00:43:17,387
Ready?
We've foster families

655
00:43:17,387 --> 00:43:20,724
for, uh, Marlia Keller,

656
00:43:20,724 --> 00:43:24,477
<i>- uh, Kristina Novotka...</i>
Mm-hmm.

657
00:43:24,477 --> 00:43:27,397
- ...the Blaufrank twins.
- <i>Yes.</i>

658
00:43:27,397 --> 00:43:29,983
<i>And Jan
and Petr Slonek.</i>

659
00:43:29,983 --> 00:43:32,110
And their brother?

660
00:43:32,110 --> 00:43:33,945
No. No one would
take all three.

661
00:43:34,612 --> 00:43:35,613
Goodness.

662
00:43:35,613 --> 00:43:37,991
Tell them
it won't be long now.

663
00:43:37,991 --> 00:43:40,410
- We'll be moving them soon.
<i>- Nicky,</i>

664
00:43:40,410 --> 00:43:42,120
it's getting harder here.

665
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,956
Two more people from Doreen's
list have disappeared.

666
00:43:47,042 --> 00:43:48,460
<i>I don't know
how long we've got.</i>

667
00:44:54,859 --> 00:44:57,028
Come on, then.
Good lads.

668
00:44:57,028 --> 00:44:59,823
There you go, good lads.

669
00:45:01,157 --> 00:45:02,158
All right.

670
00:45:43,575 --> 00:45:45,243
Thank God you're here.
I was worried.

671
00:45:45,243 --> 00:45:46,327
I'm so sorry.

672
00:45:48,079 --> 00:45:49,622
All right,
all right, all right.

673
00:45:51,749 --> 00:45:54,586
Petr Slonek.
- Slonek. Petr and Jan.

674
00:45:54,586 --> 00:45:56,045
174.

675
00:45:56,045 --> 00:45:57,630
Thank you.

144.

677
00:45:59,090 --> 00:46:01,092
So, that's only one
we're missing, now.

678
00:46:01,092 --> 00:46:03,178
- Check them all.

679
00:46:03,178 --> 00:46:04,262

684
00:46:24,324 --> 00:46:26,826
Okay. Okay.

685
00:46:28,036 --> 00:46:29,787

00:48:54,807 --> 00:48:57,769
Jan and Petr Slonek.

709
00:48:57,769 --> 00:48:59,437
- Lovely to meet you.
- Petr?

710
00:48:59,437 --> 00:49:01,230
- We'll look after you.
- Hello.

711
00:49:01,230 --> 00:49:02,315
Frank.
Come on, boys,

712
00:49:02,315 --> 00:49:03,232
- let's get you home.
- Thank you.

713
00:49:03,232 --> 00:49:05,568
Mr and Mrs Harland?

714
00:49:07,362 --> 00:49:08,946
Harland?

715
00:51:10,151 --> 00:51:11,652
Hi, Nicky.

716
00:51:11,652 --> 00:51:12,779
Oh, hello, Geoff.

717
00:51:12,779 --> 00:51:14,113
You wanna come through?

718
00:51:14,113 --> 00:51:15,573
Yes, thank you.

719
00:51:15,573 --> 00:51:16,866
All right?

720
00:51:16,866 --> 00:51:19,285
Yes, of course I am.

721
00:51:19,285 --> 00:51:20,953
You don't have to look
so nervous.

722
00:51:21,704 --> 00:51:22,830
I can't help it.

723
00:51:22,830 --> 00:51:24,123
Whenever I see you comin',

724
00:51:24,123 --> 00:51:25,625
I know it's gonna
cost me a fortune.

725
00:51:25,625 --> 00:51:27,210
Oh, all in a good cause.

726
00:51:31,214 --> 00:51:33,424
So, which is it this time?

727
00:51:33,424 --> 00:51:36,177
Samaritans? MENCAP?
Abbeyfield?

728
00:51:37,678 --> 00:51:41,641
Oh, something new.
Or rather, old.

729
00:51:41,641 --> 00:51:42,892
Take a seat, Nicky.

730
00:51:42,892 --> 00:51:45,186
Yes. Thank you.

731
00:51:51,901 --> 00:51:57,698
It's about, uh, documents
from the Second World War

732
00:51:57,698 --> 00:52:00,576
- rather relevant for today.
- The war?

733
00:52:00,576 --> 00:52:03,287
- Yes.
- Oh, it's exciting.

734
00:52:03,287 --> 00:52:07,625
It's the, uh, 50th anniversary
of the outbreak coming up.

735
00:52:07,625 --> 00:52:09,085
Yes, I suppose it must be.

736
00:52:09,085 --> 00:52:11,337
Yeah, we're planning
a series of special editions.

737
00:52:11,337 --> 00:52:12,630
- Oh.
- Where did you serve?

738
00:52:12,630 --> 00:52:14,257
Army, Navy?

739
00:52:14,257 --> 00:52:16,592
Oh, well, that's neither
here nor there, is it?

740
00:52:16,592 --> 00:52:18,135
Yeah, I bet you got
some stories.

741
00:52:19,345 --> 00:52:21,180
It's really not about me.

742
00:52:21,180 --> 00:52:23,724
It's actually very important.
It's, uh,

743
00:52:24,809 --> 00:52:26,477
about refugees.

744
00:52:28,104 --> 00:52:29,188
Refugees?

745
00:52:30,147 --> 00:52:31,148
Yeah.

746
00:52:32,650 --> 00:52:34,777
I'm not really seeing

747
00:52:34,777 --> 00:52:37,321
the Maidenhead angle
in refugees.

748
00:52:45,788 --> 00:52:48,207
<i>We wanna be famous</i>

749
00:52:48,207 --> 00:52:50,668
<i>We wanna be on TV</i>

750
00:52:50,668 --> 00:52:53,212
<i>Famous, famous
Famous, famous</i>

751
00:53:31,959 --> 00:53:34,211
<i>Hello?</i>
- Hello.

752
00:53:34,211 --> 00:53:35,713
Guess who this is?

753
00:53:35,713 --> 00:53:37,715
- Oh, good afternoon.
Good afternoon.

754
00:53:37,715 --> 00:53:39,342
I'm meeting Mr Martin Blake.

755
00:53:40,176 --> 00:53:41,302
Thank you.

756
00:53:41,302 --> 00:53:43,346
- Oh, certainly.
- Thank you.

757
00:53:43,346 --> 00:53:44,513
If you'd like to follow me?

758
00:53:44,513 --> 00:53:45,765
Yes. Thank you.

759
00:54:01,739 --> 00:54:04,492
Hello, Martin. Thank you.
How are you?

760
00:54:04,492 --> 00:54:05,868
- Nicky.
- Good to see you.

761
00:54:05,868 --> 00:54:07,995
So, you're footloose

762
00:54:07,995 --> 00:54:09,372
for a couple of days?

763
00:54:09,372 --> 00:54:10,748
Yes. Looks like it,
doesn't it?

764
00:54:10,748 --> 00:54:12,249
Time to catch up.
I'm glad.

765
00:54:12,249 --> 00:54:13,960
Yeah, it's not much time,
I'm afraid,

766
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:17,338
because, um, I've been given
my to-do list, you know?

767
00:54:17,338 --> 00:54:19,215
Grete's reorganising
everything

768
00:54:19,215 --> 00:54:21,133
- before the baby arrives.
- Oh, yes!

769
00:54:21,133 --> 00:54:23,010
A grandfather. You excited?

770
00:54:23,010 --> 00:54:25,346
- No, I'm bloody terrified.
Why?

771
00:54:25,346 --> 00:54:27,306
- I don't know.
- It'll be fun, I'm sure.

772
00:54:27,306 --> 00:54:29,392
Oh, really? If you say so.

773
00:54:29,392 --> 00:54:32,603
Uh, anyway, at the moment,
we're just, um,

774
00:54:32,603 --> 00:54:34,397
throwing out a lot of old
stuff, you know? And, uh...

775
00:54:34,397 --> 00:54:36,899
- Piles up.
- Yes, it does. Yeah.

776
00:54:36,899 --> 00:54:38,067
You have to be ruthless.

777
00:54:38,067 --> 00:54:40,069
- I know.
- Yeah. Box files and,

778
00:54:40,069 --> 00:54:41,862
uh, records of all the old
charity work, you know?

779
00:54:41,862 --> 00:54:43,489
You've always been so busy.

780
00:54:43,489 --> 00:54:44,991
Oh, yeah.

781
00:54:44,991 --> 00:54:47,243
Do you still volunteer
with the Samaritans?

782
00:54:47,243 --> 00:54:48,536
No, no. They kicked me out.

783
00:54:48,536 --> 00:54:50,413
What?
What on earth for?

784
00:54:50,413 --> 00:54:53,708
A woman, uh, phoned
in and told me she was, um...

785
00:54:53,708 --> 00:54:55,376
planning on killing herself.

786
00:54:55,376 --> 00:54:56,961
I said, "Oh, dear me,
there must be something else

787
00:54:56,961 --> 00:54:58,254
-"you'd rather be doing."
You didn't.

788
00:54:58,254 --> 00:54:59,505
Yes, I did.

789
00:54:59,505 --> 00:55:01,549
She told me
that she wanted to visit

790
00:55:01,549 --> 00:55:03,259
her daughter in America.

791
00:55:03,259 --> 00:55:05,136
But her doctor warned her
that the journey

792
00:55:05,136 --> 00:55:06,804
would probably kill her.

793
00:55:06,804 --> 00:55:08,305
I said, "Well, that's exactly
what you want, isn't it?

794
00:55:08,305 --> 00:55:09,432
-"To be killed?"

795
00:55:09,432 --> 00:55:11,517
Yeah, well,
she had a good laugh.

796
00:55:11,517 --> 00:55:13,019
We both had a good laugh.

797
00:55:13,019 --> 00:55:14,854
She went off to America.
She saw her daughter.

798
00:55:14,854 --> 00:55:16,022
Had a wonderful time.
Came back,

799
00:55:16,022 --> 00:55:17,398
- was happy as a lark.
- Oh.

800
00:55:17,398 --> 00:55:20,067
But, uh, ooh, the Samaritans.
Oh, God bless them.

801
00:55:20,067 --> 00:55:21,318
They gave me
a real bollocking,

802
00:55:21,318 --> 00:55:22,653
pardon my French,

803
00:55:22,653 --> 00:55:24,447
and, uh, told me
I'd broken all the rules.

804
00:55:24,447 --> 00:55:26,407
Well, you know, I couldn't
just sit there, could I?

805
00:55:26,407 --> 00:55:28,826
I mean, you're listening
to a bunch of lonely people

806
00:55:28,826 --> 00:55:30,578
when there was something
I could actually say

807
00:55:30,578 --> 00:55:31,787
to help cheer them up.

808
00:55:34,165 --> 00:55:35,833
You might wanna
slow down anyway.

809
00:55:35,833 --> 00:55:38,294
What, with the baby coming.

810
00:55:38,294 --> 00:55:39,712
Why would I want to slow down?

811
00:55:39,712 --> 00:55:40,880
Oh, to enjoy it.

812
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:42,590
You've done enough.

813
00:55:42,590 --> 00:55:44,133
No. It's never enough, is it?

814
00:55:46,218 --> 00:55:48,012
Did you, uh, need more time
with the wine list?

815
00:55:48,012 --> 00:55:49,263
Oh, yes, um...

816
00:55:50,931 --> 00:55:52,224
They have nice <i>Château Neuf.</i>

817
00:55:56,353 --> 00:55:57,855
We'll have the <i>Chablis.</i>

818
00:55:57,855 --> 00:55:59,273
- Oh, dear.
Thank you.

819
00:56:00,649 --> 00:56:02,359
Where were we, now? Oh, yes.

820
00:56:02,359 --> 00:56:05,279
When I was clearing out
all the papers,

821
00:56:05,279 --> 00:56:08,199
I came across that old, uh,
scrapbook from Prague.

822
00:56:08,199 --> 00:56:09,366
- Do you remember that?
- I do.

823
00:56:09,366 --> 00:56:11,368
Yes, you're not throwing
that out.

824
00:56:11,368 --> 00:56:12,828
No, I think it could be quite

825
00:56:12,828 --> 00:56:14,538
an important little record,
in its way.

826
00:56:14,538 --> 00:56:17,041
You know, full of history
we should learn from.

827
00:56:17,041 --> 00:56:18,959
- It is.
- Yeah.

828
00:56:21,337 --> 00:56:23,089
Look, maybe the, um,

829
00:56:23,089 --> 00:56:26,383
the Wiener archive
might like it. In London.

830
00:56:26,383 --> 00:56:28,010
Yeah?

831
00:56:28,010 --> 00:56:30,596
I know people on the board,
I could mention it.

832
00:56:30,596 --> 00:56:33,682
Yeah, well, it'll probably
just gather dust there.

833
00:56:33,682 --> 00:56:35,851
I mean, I tried showing it
to the Editor

834
00:56:35,851 --> 00:56:37,853
of the Maidenhead newspaper,
what's it called?

835
00:56:37,853 --> 00:56:40,564
<i>The Advertiser</i> or something.

836
00:56:40,564 --> 00:56:43,234
And, um, it's funny because
when I told him

837
00:56:43,234 --> 00:56:44,944
about the refugees, he said,

838
00:56:44,944 --> 00:56:46,779
"I don't quite get
the Maidenhead angle."

839
00:56:48,155 --> 00:56:49,657
So, uh, he's a bit
of a twit, really.

840
00:56:49,657 --> 00:56:51,992
Well, you might like
to donate it to a museum.

841
00:56:51,992 --> 00:56:54,161
In Prague? Or in Israel?

842
00:56:54,161 --> 00:56:55,746
Most of the children
were Jewish, after all.

843
00:56:56,330 --> 00:56:57,414
Prague.

844
00:57:00,084 --> 00:57:02,670
Well... Yeah.

845
00:57:03,712 --> 00:57:04,755
Tell me something...

846
00:57:07,258 --> 00:57:08,676
Do you ever think
about the children

847
00:57:08,676 --> 00:57:10,177
and what happened to them?

848
00:57:10,177 --> 00:57:12,429
Yes, yes, I do.
From time to time.

849
00:57:12,429 --> 00:57:13,597
Do you?

850
00:57:15,349 --> 00:57:16,934
No, not really.

851
00:57:16,934 --> 00:57:19,562
Well, maybe a little, recently.

852
00:57:19,562 --> 00:57:23,149
It is incredible.
What you achieved.

853
00:57:23,149 --> 00:57:24,483
Oh, I don't think
of it that way.

854
00:57:24,483 --> 00:57:25,860
No, no, no, no,
I mean it.

855
00:57:26,694 --> 00:57:28,529
Truly.

856
00:57:28,529 --> 00:57:29,989
I mean, you should be proud.

857
00:57:29,989 --> 00:57:32,032
- Well.
- Save one life,

858
00:57:32,032 --> 00:57:34,743
save the world. You know?

859
00:57:34,743 --> 00:57:37,246
Well, it's nothing
to brag about.

860
00:57:37,246 --> 00:57:39,290
I mean, look at Doreen
and, uh, Trevor.

861
00:57:39,290 --> 00:57:40,666
They did far more than I did

862
00:57:40,666 --> 00:57:41,917
and they took all the risks.

863
00:57:41,917 --> 00:57:44,461
And they actually stayed
in Prague.

864
00:57:44,461 --> 00:57:48,132
You know, Nicky,
telling people isn't bragging.

865
00:57:49,884 --> 00:57:51,760
No.

866
00:58:24,835 --> 00:58:26,712
Hampstead, 7946.

867
00:58:26,712 --> 00:58:28,964
The Germans crossed
the frontier this morning.

868
00:58:28,964 --> 00:58:30,049
<i>They've already taken over</i>

869
00:58:30,049 --> 00:58:31,592
<i>- the ministry.</i>
- Oh, God.

870
00:58:31,592 --> 00:58:34,720
Hitler's motorcade
just went past the hotel.

871
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:36,055
He was waving.

872
00:58:48,025 --> 00:58:51,528
What does
this mean? For us?

873
00:58:51,528 --> 00:58:55,491
I have to go. We need
to check safe houses.

874
00:58:55,491 --> 00:58:57,493
- Just be careful.

875
00:58:57,493 --> 00:59:00,204
Doreen? Doree...

876
00:59:08,712 --> 00:59:10,965
It's not safe for them here.
Please, get them home.

877
00:59:13,050 --> 00:59:14,969
Just make sure all the lists
are locked up.

878
00:59:43,747 --> 00:59:45,582
<i>Downing Street has advised</i>

879
00:59:45,582 --> 00:59:48,752
<i>that this development does not
mean that Germany is at war.</i>

880
00:59:48,752 --> 00:59:50,462
<i>The Germans are understood
to have taken</i>

881
00:59:50,462 --> 00:59:53,340
<i>an administrative position
in Czechoslovakia,</i>

882
00:59:53,340 --> 00:59:55,718
<i>replacing the government
in Prague.</i>

883
00:59:55,718 --> 00:59:56,844
<i>Flights from Prague...</i>

884
00:59:56,844 --> 00:59:58,554
What happens now?

885
00:59:58,554 --> 01:00:01,056
We work harder.

886
01:00:01,056 --> 01:00:04,601
Instead of standing here
wringing our hands in despair.

887
01:00:04,601 --> 01:00:06,186
We need more trains.

888
01:00:06,186 --> 01:00:08,397
We do whatever it takes
to make that happen.

889
01:00:08,397 --> 01:00:10,232
We find more homes.

890
01:00:10,232 --> 01:00:12,693
We place the children faster.

891
01:00:12,693 --> 01:00:14,403
We're doing as much as we can.

892
01:00:14,403 --> 01:00:16,405
It's not enough, though,
is it?

893
01:00:19,658 --> 01:00:21,452
Look, we cannot...

894
01:00:21,452 --> 01:00:24,538
we cannot let
these people down.

895
01:00:24,538 --> 01:00:26,790
<i>Well, they tell us
the borders are still open.</i>

896
01:00:26,790 --> 01:00:29,293
The thing is now every visa
has to be approved

897
01:00:30,544 --> 01:00:32,171
and stamped by the Gestapo.

898
01:00:32,171 --> 01:00:34,381
<i>The bastards are all over
bloody everything now.</i>

899
01:00:38,844 --> 01:00:40,429
Mr Winton?
Oh, yeah. Oh, hello.

900
01:00:40,429 --> 01:00:42,181
<i>The New Statesman.</i>

901
01:00:42,181 --> 01:00:43,766
Oh, hi.

902
01:00:43,766 --> 01:00:45,434
Uh, shall we speak as we go?

903
01:00:45,434 --> 01:00:46,810
Uh, yes, please.

904
01:00:46,810 --> 01:00:48,062
I don't think
I can recall

905
01:00:48,062 --> 01:00:51,273
ever seeing anything
quite so moving.

906
01:00:51,273 --> 01:00:53,901
How many are there? There must
be, uh, nearly a hundred.

907
01:00:53,901 --> 01:00:55,861
Uh, yes, yes.
Well over a hundred.

908
01:00:55,861 --> 01:01:00,491
Hello. Uh, and this is
our largest transport so far.

909
01:01:00,491 --> 01:01:01,575
<i>And this is
your fourth train.</i>

910
01:01:01,575 --> 01:01:02,951
<i>Are there more planned?</i>

911
01:01:02,951 --> 01:01:04,495
<i>Yes, absolutely.</i>

912
01:01:04,495 --> 01:01:06,830
<i>The fifth train's
only a few weeks away</i>

913
01:01:06,830 --> 01:01:08,749
<i>with more trains
already booked.</i>

914
01:01:08,749 --> 01:01:12,169
<i>The eighth is confirmed,
and the ninth's in preparation</i>

915
01:01:12,169 --> 01:01:14,338
<i>and, um, hundreds of children
ready to board,</i>

916
01:01:14,338 --> 01:01:16,799
<i>but there are thousands more
who need our help</i>

917
01:01:16,799 --> 01:01:18,634
<i>all over Czechoslovakia.</i>

918
01:01:18,634 --> 01:01:21,470
<i>And these are children who are
homeless, they're starving.</i>

919
01:01:21,470 --> 01:01:24,181
<i>And we don't know how long
the border will remain open.</i>

920
01:01:24,181 --> 01:01:27,059
<i>So, we do desperately need
donations and foster homes.</i>

921
01:01:34,650 --> 01:01:36,026
- Hello?
<i>Nicky.</i>

922
01:01:36,026 --> 01:01:37,986
Nicky, it's me.

923
01:01:37,986 --> 01:01:40,489
Um, look, we have one or two
missing from the next list.

924
01:01:40,489 --> 01:01:42,866
<i>- </i>  Missing?
<i>Yes, I don't know.</i>

925
01:01:42,866 --> 01:01:47,538
Either they panicked or...
or they were arrested.

926
01:01:47,538 --> 01:01:50,124
Uh, right. Well, um, you'd
better give me their names.

927
01:01:52,626 --> 01:01:53,836
This one, ah.

928
01:01:54,962 --> 01:01:57,714
That's her. Lenka Weiss.

929
01:01:59,550 --> 01:02:00,884
There was a baby, too.

930
01:02:04,888 --> 01:02:05,889
Damn.

931
01:02:09,435 --> 01:02:11,603
Nicky,

932
01:02:11,603 --> 01:02:15,149
you must know we cannot
save them all.

933
01:02:15,149 --> 01:02:17,317
You have to forgive
yourself that.

934
01:02:45,053 --> 01:02:47,389
If you want Leadbetter,
he's on his hols.

935
01:02:47,389 --> 01:02:49,683
Week in Eastbourne,
shame about the rain.

936
01:02:49,683 --> 01:02:51,685
Look, I urgently
need three visas

937
01:02:51,685 --> 01:02:53,645
for a transport
leaving Prague next week.

938
01:02:53,645 --> 01:02:56,356
Sorry. Can't help you there.

939
01:03:01,528 --> 01:03:02,905
- Trevor.
- Is everything all right?

940
01:03:02,905 --> 01:03:06,074
Listen,
we're three visas short,

941
01:03:06,074 --> 01:03:10,829
Isabel Keller and Eva
and Vera Diamantova.

942
01:03:10,829 --> 01:03:13,248
<i>Is there anything you can do?</i>

943
01:03:26,053 --> 01:03:28,764
I don't know
what you're doing.

944
01:03:28,764 --> 01:03:30,933
But if you're doing
what I think you're doing,

945
01:03:31,850 --> 01:03:33,477
I don't want to know.

946
01:03:37,064 --> 01:03:38,732
Train leaves at eight.

947
01:04:14,893 --> 01:04:16,270
Where is he?
- I don't know.

948
01:04:16,270 --> 01:04:17,479
He should have
been here an hour ago.

949
01:04:28,574 --> 01:04:30,409
- Do you have them?
- Yes.

950
01:04:30,409 --> 01:04:32,744
We have them.

951
01:05:52,115 --> 01:05:53,575
- They've left Prague.

952
01:06:38,370 --> 01:06:40,122
Yes.

953
01:07:01,518 --> 01:07:03,645
Why does England
want all these Jews?

954
01:07:22,372 --> 01:07:25,500
Miss Howson
from Putney, please.

955
01:07:26,418 --> 01:07:29,796
Diamantova, Eva.

956
01:07:29,796 --> 01:07:32,674
Um, along here, please.
Uh, yes, sir.

957
01:07:32,674 --> 01:07:35,010
Thank you, Mrs MacFarlane.

958
01:07:35,010 --> 01:07:36,386
Mrs MacFarlane?

959
01:07:36,386 --> 01:07:37,471
Hello.

960
01:07:38,972 --> 01:07:41,725
Thank you.
There they are.

961
01:07:41,725 --> 01:07:44,311
Thank you.
Uh, Diamantova, Vera.

962
01:07:44,311 --> 01:07:46,480
Lovely to meet you.

963
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:48,565
Mrs Rainford.

964
01:07:48,565 --> 01:07:51,151
Yes.
Sorry, excuse me.

965
01:07:52,277 --> 01:07:53,278
Hello, dear.

966
01:07:54,613 --> 01:07:55,614
- Hello.
Thank you.

967
01:07:58,533 --> 01:07:59,534
Come along.

968
01:08:02,829 --> 01:08:04,080
Are you hungry?

969
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:05,624
Someone needs
to tell these people

970
01:08:05,624 --> 01:08:07,000
that they've only got
the children temporarily.

971
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:11,129
They've all got families
to return to.

972
01:08:11,129 --> 01:08:12,881
Our most urgent cases yet.

973
01:08:12,881 --> 01:08:15,008
They're booked on a train,
the ninth train,

974
01:08:15,008 --> 01:08:16,384
in three days' time.

975
01:08:16,384 --> 01:08:17,886
Please, Leadbetter.

976
01:08:26,311 --> 01:08:28,396
We'll do it. Of course.

977
01:08:29,356 --> 01:08:30,357
Thank you.

978
01:08:55,715 --> 01:08:56,758
Hello?

979
01:09:07,602 --> 01:09:09,396
<i>Today's main event.</i>

980
01:09:09,396 --> 01:09:14,442
<i>Germany has invaded Poland
and has bombed many towns.</i>

981
01:09:14,442 --> 01:09:18,822
<i>General mobilisation has been
ordered in Britain and France.</i>

982
01:09:18,822 --> 01:09:22,450
<i>Parliament was summoned
for six o'clock this evening.</i>

983
01:09:22,450 --> 01:09:25,412
<i>The mobilisation of the navy,
army and the air force...</i>

984
01:09:25,412 --> 01:09:28,748
Winton,
where're you going? Winton?

985
01:09:28,748 --> 01:09:30,333
There's nothing you can do
for them now.

986
01:09:30,333 --> 01:09:31,585
Winton!

987
01:09:42,804 --> 01:09:44,180
Excuse me. Excuse me.

988
01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:46,016
- Excuse me.
Stop pushing.

989
01:09:46,016 --> 01:09:47,350
Look, listen, what's happening
to the international trains?

990
01:09:47,350 --> 01:09:48,852
I don't know
any more than you do.

991
01:09:48,852 --> 01:09:50,645
There's a train due
to leave from Prague.

992
01:09:50,645 --> 01:09:52,939
You need to go
to the station now.

993
01:09:52,939 --> 01:09:54,107
I am staying to help.

994
01:09:54,107 --> 01:09:55,734
No, no.

995
01:09:55,734 --> 01:09:58,987
If they catch you,
I can't protect you. Go, now!

996
01:10:44,491 --> 01:10:45,492
Trevor.

997
01:10:45,492 --> 01:10:46,576
Are you all right?

998
01:10:46,576 --> 01:10:47,911
Yes, I am.

999
01:10:47,911 --> 01:10:49,120
I'm... I'm going
to go back to Doreen.

1000
01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:51,247
- Should I...
- You should leave now.

1001
01:10:51,247 --> 01:10:54,584
You have your papers.
Go with the children.

1002
01:10:54,584 --> 01:10:55,669
See you in London.

1003
01:10:55,669 --> 01:10:56,753
Be careful.

1004
01:10:58,838 --> 01:11:00,674
You too. Bye.

1005
01:11:43,466 --> 01:11:45,343
Hello.
Hello, darling.

1006
01:11:45,343 --> 01:11:47,971
Welcome back.

1007
01:11:47,971 --> 01:11:49,472
Ah. Mm.

1008
01:11:50,682 --> 01:11:51,975
Here you go.

1009
01:11:58,732 --> 01:12:00,650
Goodness.

1010
01:12:00,650 --> 01:12:01,818
Come and see this.

1011
01:12:03,111 --> 01:12:04,112
Big surprise.

1012
01:12:15,957 --> 01:12:17,459
Well...

1013
01:12:17,459 --> 01:12:20,545
You have got
a lot done.

1014
01:12:20,545 --> 01:12:23,214
Yeah. Do you want
a cup of tea?

1015
01:12:33,892 --> 01:12:35,477
<i>Hello, Mr Winton.</i>

1016
01:12:35,477 --> 01:12:37,312
<i>This is Karl Caplan
at the Weiner Library.</i>

1017
01:12:37,312 --> 01:12:38,646
<i>Uh, Martin Blake</i>

1018
01:12:38,646 --> 01:12:40,273
<i>- gave us your details.</i>
Oh.

1019
01:12:40,273 --> 01:12:41,941
<i>We have a researcher
who we think</i>

1020
01:12:41,941 --> 01:12:44,194
<i>might find your archives
very interesting.</i>

1021
01:12:44,194 --> 01:12:50,575
<i>So, if you can, please call us
back on 01-636-7247.</i>

1022
01:12:50,575 --> 01:12:52,911
<i>We look forward to hearing
from you. Many thanks.</i>

1023
01:12:55,830 --> 01:12:58,875
Um, I just mentioned it
in passing.

1024
01:12:58,875 --> 01:13:01,252
Hmm.
- But, uh,

1025
01:13:01,252 --> 01:13:04,214
Martin, uh,
he got straight onto them.

1026
01:13:05,298 --> 01:13:08,676
And, uh... You know...

1027
01:13:08,676 --> 01:13:11,596
But I don't want it
to go into a library.

1028
01:13:11,596 --> 01:13:13,056
Why not?

1029
01:13:13,056 --> 01:13:15,308
Oh, well, it won't
teach anyone anything

1030
01:13:15,308 --> 01:13:16,601
stuck on the shelf.

1031
01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:22,690
Then call them.

1032
01:13:24,192 --> 01:13:25,193
Talk to them.

1033
01:13:30,990 --> 01:13:33,243
Yes. Well, I'm very grateful.

1034
01:13:33,243 --> 01:13:34,869
<i>Well,
we look forward to seeing you.</i>

1035
01:13:34,869 --> 01:13:35,954
Thank you.

1036
01:13:41,167 --> 01:13:43,545
- Tell me.

1037
01:13:43,545 --> 01:13:47,006
Well, there's this woman who
wants to see the scrapbook.

1038
01:13:47,006 --> 01:13:48,466
She's a historian,

1039
01:13:48,466 --> 01:13:51,010
married to some... a man
from Czechoslovakia.

1040
01:13:51,010 --> 01:13:52,804
His name is Robert Maxwell.

1041
01:13:52,804 --> 01:13:54,180
The newspaper man?

1042
01:13:54,180 --> 01:13:56,850
Yes, that's right and, uh,

1043
01:13:56,850 --> 01:13:59,352
she's running some
kind of a conference

1044
01:13:59,352 --> 01:14:01,104
and she wants to meet me.

1045
01:14:01,104 --> 01:14:03,356
Elizabeth Maxwell,
she calls herself Betty.

1046
01:14:04,607 --> 01:14:06,568
She's French, apparently.

1047
01:14:35,972 --> 01:14:37,307
I'm Nicholas Winton.

1048
01:14:37,307 --> 01:14:38,641
Good afternoon.
We've been expecting you.

1049
01:14:46,441 --> 01:14:48,902
Oh.
Oh, thank you so much

1050
01:14:48,902 --> 01:14:50,236
for coming all this way.

1051
01:14:50,236 --> 01:14:54,115
Here it is. The scrapbook.

1052
01:14:54,115 --> 01:14:57,827
Um, relates back

1053
01:14:57,827 --> 01:15:01,039
to some time I spent in Prague
before the war.

1054
01:15:01,039 --> 01:15:02,415
It's a little heavy,
I'm afraid.

1055
01:15:04,959 --> 01:15:06,044
Yeah.

1056
01:15:07,837 --> 01:15:10,632
Now, a lot of that stuff
is just touristy stuff.

1057
01:15:10,632 --> 01:15:13,426
Postcards and so on
and so forth.

1058
01:15:13,426 --> 01:15:16,387
And, uh... Yes,
there are all... That's it.

1059
01:15:16,387 --> 01:15:17,722
There're some letters

1060
01:15:17,722 --> 01:15:20,266
relating to the transport
of children,

1061
01:15:20,266 --> 01:15:22,227
- uh, to Britain.
- Ah.

1062
01:15:23,895 --> 01:15:25,772
These are
the eight children you saved?

1063
01:15:25,772 --> 01:15:28,066
No, no. It was
a few more than that.

1064
01:15:28,066 --> 01:15:30,443
If you turn the pages,
you can see.

1065
01:15:30,443 --> 01:15:33,154
I sent out those cards, uh
for people to,

1066
01:15:33,154 --> 01:15:35,031
uh, choose, you know?

1067
01:15:35,031 --> 01:15:36,991
And, [chuckles] I must say
it was a bit like, um,

1068
01:15:36,991 --> 01:15:38,618
it was bit like selling
soap powder,

1069
01:15:38,618 --> 01:15:40,370
if you know what I mean.

1070
01:15:40,370 --> 01:15:42,205
I couldn't for the life of me
think how else I could,

1071
01:15:42,205 --> 01:15:45,083
uh, find enough families
to take in so many kids.

1072
01:15:45,083 --> 01:15:46,501
Uh, forgive me
but how many children

1073
01:15:46,501 --> 01:15:47,627
are we speaking about?

1074
01:15:47,627 --> 01:15:51,422
Oh. Uh... [chuckles] 669.

1075
01:15:51,422 --> 01:15:54,550
We successfully placed.

1076
01:15:54,550 --> 01:15:57,762
You... You... You brought
669 children

1077
01:15:57,762 --> 01:15:58,846
from Prague to England?

1078
01:15:58,846 --> 01:16:02,100
Well, I mean
with my colleagues

1079
01:16:02,100 --> 01:16:03,351
Doreen Warriner,

1080
01:16:03,351 --> 01:16:05,353
Trevor Chadwick,
and Hana and um...

1081
01:16:05,353 --> 01:16:07,563
But there were so many other
people involved, you know,

1082
01:16:07,563 --> 01:16:10,441
and my own mother.
She was a great help.

1083
01:16:10,441 --> 01:16:11,901
And I suppose...

1084
01:16:11,901 --> 01:16:13,611
I suppose
I'm the only one left, now.

1085
01:16:13,611 --> 01:16:15,321
At least I think I am.

1086
01:16:17,323 --> 01:16:19,284
Uh, the children
that are crossed out

1087
01:16:19,284 --> 01:16:20,994
are the ones
we found homes for.

1088
01:16:20,994 --> 01:16:23,997
And the faces
that are not crossed out?

1089
01:16:23,997 --> 01:16:26,332
Ah, well, they were
the less fortunate

1090
01:16:26,332 --> 01:16:29,919
and, uh, it was a lottery,
I'm afraid.

1091
01:16:34,215 --> 01:16:36,175
You wrote to the president
of the United States?

1092
01:16:36,175 --> 01:16:38,928
Fat lot of good
he was.

1093
01:16:38,928 --> 01:16:41,264
I never heard back
from him.

1094
01:16:41,264 --> 01:16:44,142
Yeah, it's disappointing,
I must say.

1095
01:16:44,142 --> 01:16:46,227
Oh, yes, now, these, uh...

1096
01:16:46,227 --> 01:16:48,855
Those there are the names
of the children

1097
01:16:48,855 --> 01:16:50,815
and their new addresses.

1098
01:16:52,817 --> 01:16:54,569
Excuse me, Mr Winton.

1099
01:16:54,569 --> 01:16:56,529
This is not exactly
what I was expecting.

1100
01:16:56,529 --> 01:16:57,780
I'm a little taken aback

1101
01:16:57,780 --> 01:16:59,949
at the scale
of your operation.

1102
01:16:59,949 --> 01:17:01,868
Oh. Oh, you know,

1103
01:17:01,868 --> 01:17:04,871
if we'd had
more money, more time

1104
01:17:04,871 --> 01:17:06,873
and more government support

1105
01:17:06,873 --> 01:17:08,958
we could've done a lot more,
I think.

1106
01:17:11,669 --> 01:17:12,712
Blank pages?

1107
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:17,592
Yeah. That was the last train.

1108
01:17:19,385 --> 01:17:21,471
Something happened
to the last train?

1109
01:17:23,181 --> 01:17:26,809
Yes, it was the ninth train.

1110
01:17:26,809 --> 01:17:33,024
It was our largest group
of 250 children and uh...

1111
01:17:33,024 --> 01:17:36,277
<i>It was the 1st
of September, 1939.</i>

1112
01:17:36,277 --> 01:17:38,571
<i>The same day
that Hitler invaded Poland.</i>

1113
01:17:38,571 --> 01:17:40,281
<i>The very start of the war.</i>

1114
01:18:40,133 --> 01:18:41,634
Hana.

1115
01:18:41,634 --> 01:18:43,302
Trevor!

1116
01:18:43,302 --> 01:18:44,595
Hana!

1117
01:18:45,221 --> 01:18:46,222
Hana!

1118
01:18:51,561 --> 01:18:53,354
That was
the end of that.

1119
01:18:53,354 --> 01:18:55,189
Bloody Hitler,
that's all I can say.

1120
01:18:59,652 --> 01:19:02,405
We had hundreds
of foster families waiting,

1121
01:19:02,405 --> 01:19:04,198
ready to welcome them, but...

1122
01:19:04,866 --> 01:19:06,325
yeah.

1123
01:19:19,505 --> 01:19:20,506
<i>Merci.</i>

1124
01:19:29,182 --> 01:19:30,266
Take milk?

1125
01:19:30,266 --> 01:19:31,350
Uh, no, thank you.

1126
01:19:32,935 --> 01:19:34,061
Thank you.

1127
01:19:35,688 --> 01:19:37,315
That's wonderful. Thank you.

1128
01:19:42,778 --> 01:19:43,779
I'm sorry.

1129
01:19:46,574 --> 01:19:47,950
Must be very difficult for you

1130
01:19:47,950 --> 01:19:50,411
knowing what happened
to those children.

1131
01:19:50,411 --> 01:19:52,205
Well, I don't know
what happened, do I?

1132
01:19:52,205 --> 01:19:54,415
They were taken off the train,

1133
01:19:54,415 --> 01:19:56,584
returned to their families
and...

1134
01:19:57,919 --> 01:19:59,587
that was the end of that.

1135
01:20:01,339 --> 01:20:02,924
Surely, I'm almost certain

1136
01:20:02,924 --> 01:20:05,092
that they perished
in the camps?

1137
01:20:07,970 --> 01:20:09,096
Hmm.

1138
01:20:52,348 --> 01:20:56,561
Well, you may be right about
those children, Mrs Maxwell.

1139
01:20:56,561 --> 01:21:00,356
But I've learned to keep
my imagination in check.

1140
01:21:00,356 --> 01:21:02,108
Uh, so I can still be of use

1141
01:21:02,108 --> 01:21:03,943
and not go raving mad.

1142
01:21:09,615 --> 01:21:10,866
Mr Winton,

1143
01:21:12,410 --> 01:21:15,162
around 15,000 children

1144
01:21:15,162 --> 01:21:18,958
went into concentration camps
in Czechoslovakia

1145
01:21:18,958 --> 01:21:23,045
and, uh, less than 200
of them survived,

1146
01:21:23,045 --> 01:21:27,925
and you saved 669.

1147
01:21:28,676 --> 01:21:30,052
Oh.

1148
01:21:31,345 --> 01:21:33,472
Ah.

1149
01:21:33,472 --> 01:21:35,891
Anyway, I'd best, uh,
I'd better be going

1150
01:21:35,891 --> 01:21:38,477
because my wife is expecting
me and I don't want...

1151
01:21:38,477 --> 01:21:40,396
I don't want to get
into any trouble,

1152
01:21:40,396 --> 01:21:41,856
if you know what I mean.

1153
01:21:41,856 --> 01:21:43,232
I would like very much

1154
01:21:43,232 --> 01:21:45,651
to hold on to your scrapbook,
if I may.

1155
01:21:47,987 --> 01:21:51,115
- Well, all right.
- And...

1156
01:21:51,115 --> 01:21:56,162
with your permission, I would
like to show it to my husband.

1157
01:21:56,162 --> 01:22:00,166
I'm sure he will consider it
a very important story.

1158
01:22:01,125 --> 01:22:04,962
Oh. Well, thank you.

1159
01:22:04,962 --> 01:22:06,297
- Thank you.

1160
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:09,133
As many
of you will know,

1161
01:22:09,133 --> 01:22:12,094
our group was founded in 1965

1162
01:22:12,094 --> 01:22:14,597
to encourage friendship
between Maidenhead

1163
01:22:14,597 --> 01:22:17,058
and its twin towns
across Europe.

1164
01:22:19,352 --> 01:22:23,773
We were met at the airport
by Maria Bechtler

1165
01:22:23,773 --> 01:22:26,484
and travelled by coach
to Bad Godesberg,

1166
01:22:26,484 --> 01:22:28,819
where we were given a warm...

1167
01:22:30,571 --> 01:22:31,572
All right?

1168
01:22:34,909 --> 01:22:37,953
Where we were given
a warm <i>Willkommen...</i>

1169
01:22:37,953 --> 01:22:39,705
- ...by our hostesses.

1170
01:23:06,023 --> 01:23:09,151
Thank you, darling.
Don't trip, it's heavy.

1171
01:23:09,151 --> 01:23:10,361
Hey, Steve.

1172
01:23:10,361 --> 01:23:11,487
Don't strain yourself,
will you?

1173
01:23:11,487 --> 01:23:13,239
Here. Let me.
- Give me a hand.

1174
01:23:13,239 --> 01:23:14,532
Oh, God.

1175
01:23:14,532 --> 01:23:16,075
I can't get over
all the space, Dad.

1176
01:23:16,075 --> 01:23:18,202
Hey, you could fit in
a playpen in here.

1177
01:23:18,202 --> 01:23:19,745
Oh, no.

1178
01:23:19,745 --> 01:23:22,081
- It looks lovely, doesn't it?

1179
01:23:22,081 --> 01:23:24,250
- Doesn't it?
- Yeah. Doesn't it, Dad?

1180
01:23:24,250 --> 01:23:25,418
- Yes.

1181
01:23:25,418 --> 01:23:26,711
Don't set it on fire.

1182
01:23:26,711 --> 01:23:28,003
Nicky!

1183
01:23:28,003 --> 01:23:29,380
Well, you did last year,
didn't you?

1184
01:23:29,380 --> 01:23:30,631
I did not.
- Yes, you did

1185
01:23:30,631 --> 01:23:31,716
- and the year before that.
- No.

1186
01:23:31,716 --> 01:23:32,925
He loves to tease, doesn't he?

1187
01:23:32,925 --> 01:23:34,343
- Huh?
- Oh, it looks lovely.

1188
01:23:34,343 --> 01:23:36,846
Some of them new, aren't they?

1189
01:23:36,846 --> 01:23:38,931
- Well, merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.

1190
01:23:38,931 --> 01:23:39,890
<i>Merry Christmas.</i>
<i>Cheers.</i>

1191
01:23:54,155 --> 01:23:55,322
It's for you.

1192
01:23:55,322 --> 01:23:56,407
Oh.

1193
01:24:04,582 --> 01:24:06,542
Oh, this is interesting.

1194
01:24:06,542 --> 01:24:08,085
What is it?

1195
01:24:08,085 --> 01:24:10,421
It's from the Editor
of the <i>Sunday Mirror.</i>

1196
01:24:10,421 --> 01:24:13,466
"We would very much like
to publish a major article

1197
01:24:13,466 --> 01:24:16,093
"detailing
the child evacuation."

1198
01:24:16,093 --> 01:24:18,012
But... That's marvellous.

1199
01:24:18,012 --> 01:24:19,722
Oh, yes. It says,

1200
01:24:19,722 --> 01:24:21,724
"With wider publicity in mind,

1201
01:24:23,058 --> 01:24:24,518
"I have been talking

1202
01:24:24,518 --> 01:24:27,104
"to the BBC Television
programme <i>That's Life!"</i>

1203
01:24:27,104 --> 01:24:28,439
Surely not.

1204
01:24:28,439 --> 01:24:30,733
Yes, they want me
to go in and, uh,

1205
01:24:30,733 --> 01:24:32,526
check the historical accuracy.

1206
01:24:32,526 --> 01:24:35,404
But that's such a silly show.

1207
01:24:35,404 --> 01:24:36,530
- What?
<i>- That's Life!</i>

1208
01:24:36,530 --> 01:24:37,823
It's a very silly show.

1209
01:24:38,741 --> 01:24:39,825
It is.

1210
01:24:39,825 --> 01:24:41,076
Well, it's very popular,
isn't it?

1211
01:24:41,076 --> 01:24:43,078
I mean, a lot of people
watch it.

1212
01:24:44,121 --> 01:24:45,956
Should I come with you?

1213
01:24:45,956 --> 01:24:47,208
Why would you want
to come with me

1214
01:24:47,208 --> 01:24:48,542
if you think it's so silly?

1215
01:25:01,096 --> 01:25:02,097
Oh.

1216
01:25:04,517 --> 01:25:08,813
Hello. Hi, Mr Winton,
such a pleasure to meet you.

1217
01:25:08,813 --> 01:25:10,231
Just gonna take you
through here.

1218
01:25:10,231 --> 01:25:11,315
- Yes.
This way.

1219
01:25:13,734 --> 01:25:14,985
What exactly am I to do?

1220
01:25:14,985 --> 01:25:16,237
Oh, they're going
to explain all that.

1221
01:25:16,237 --> 01:25:17,988
- Oh.
- It's just through here.

1222
01:25:17,988 --> 01:25:19,114
All right.

1223
01:25:20,825 --> 01:25:21,826
Thank you.

1224
01:25:22,868 --> 01:25:23,869
Thanks.

1225
01:25:30,876 --> 01:25:32,837
Camera six.

1226
01:25:32,837 --> 01:25:34,505
Can you come
from the other side?

1227
01:25:36,006 --> 01:25:38,133
Thank you.

1228
01:25:38,133 --> 01:25:39,844
Thirty seconds
to on air.

1229
01:25:44,890 --> 01:25:48,519
Okay, and you are just here.

1230
01:25:48,519 --> 01:25:51,105
- Couldn't I sit farther back?
- I'm afraid not.

1231
01:25:51,105 --> 01:25:52,481
Oh, I'd rather be backstage.

1232
01:25:52,481 --> 01:25:53,899
I'm... I'm really,
really sorry.

1233
01:25:53,899 --> 01:25:55,150
It's just they told me
to put you here

1234
01:25:55,150 --> 01:25:56,443
and we're running out of time.

1235
01:25:56,443 --> 01:25:57,403
All right.

1236
01:26:07,913 --> 01:26:09,164
Who's that?

1237
01:26:27,933 --> 01:26:29,894
Hello. Good evening.

1238
01:26:37,985 --> 01:26:40,154
<i>And would you want
to be treated by this dentist</i>

1239
01:26:40,154 --> 01:26:43,782
<i>in Bath who goes
by the name Mr F Illing?</i>

1240
01:26:46,702 --> 01:26:47,703
<i>Esther.</i>

1241
01:26:49,163 --> 01:26:52,291
Now, an extraordinary story
has come to light

1242
01:26:52,291 --> 01:26:54,084
about a young man who,

1243
01:26:54,084 --> 01:26:56,629
many years ago,
visited Prague,

1244
01:26:56,629 --> 01:27:00,799
and what he found there
was a terrible situation.

1245
01:27:00,799 --> 01:27:02,968
Thousands
of refugees stranded,

1246
01:27:02,968 --> 01:27:05,387
living
in desperate conditions,

1247
01:27:05,387 --> 01:27:09,058
<i>and at the mercy of Hitler's
imminent invasion.</i>

1248
01:27:09,058 --> 01:27:12,269
<i>This young man, whose name
was Nicholas Winton,</i>

1249
01:27:12,269 --> 01:27:14,939
<i>decided that something
had to be done.</i>

1250
01:27:14,939 --> 01:27:19,526
And so he managed
to rescue 669 children.

1251
01:27:20,694 --> 01:27:22,112
This is his scrapbook.

1252
01:27:23,447 --> 01:27:28,202
All sorts
of fascinating photographs.

1253
01:27:29,411 --> 01:27:31,288
Perhaps you can see...

1254
01:27:32,831 --> 01:27:35,668
Here's a photograph of
Nicholas Winton himself,

1255
01:27:35,668 --> 01:27:38,754
with one of the children
he rescued.

1256
01:27:38,754 --> 01:27:42,841
But at the very back,
is a list

1257
01:27:42,841 --> 01:27:44,426
of all the children

1258
01:27:44,426 --> 01:27:46,261
<i>that he rescued.</i>

1259
01:27:46,261 --> 01:27:49,890
<i>Here is Vera Diamantova,
now Vera Gissing.</i>

1260
01:27:49,890 --> 01:27:52,935
We found her name on his list.

1261
01:27:52,935 --> 01:27:56,271
And Vera is here
with us tonight. Hello, Vera.

1262
01:27:56,271 --> 01:27:57,690
- Hello.
Now, I should tell

1263
01:27:57,690 --> 01:27:59,358
you that you are, in fact,
sitting next

1264
01:27:59,358 --> 01:28:01,443
to Mr Nicholas Winton.

1265
01:28:02,945 --> 01:28:03,988
Hello.

1266
01:28:06,073 --> 01:28:08,742
- Hello.

1267
01:28:17,084 --> 01:28:18,085
Thank you.

1268
01:28:33,350 --> 01:28:35,019
I was reunited
with my sister

1269
01:28:35,019 --> 01:28:36,937
a few years later.

1270
01:28:36,937 --> 01:28:38,689
And your parents?

1271
01:28:38,689 --> 01:28:42,151
My father was tortured,
in Terezin.

1272
01:28:42,151 --> 01:28:43,235
Mm-hmm.

1273
01:28:43,235 --> 01:28:45,821
And then sent to Auschwitz.

1274
01:28:48,198 --> 01:28:50,617
And then on
to another labour camp.

1275
01:28:50,617 --> 01:28:52,161
Ah.

1276
01:28:52,161 --> 01:28:53,537
A fellow prisoner told me

1277
01:28:53,537 --> 01:28:56,999
he thought he'd been shot
on the Death March.

1278
01:28:58,709 --> 01:28:59,710
Hmm.

1279
01:29:01,128 --> 01:29:03,964
My mother, um, died of typhus.

1280
01:29:05,549 --> 01:29:07,926
So sorry.
- Contracted at Belsen.

1281
01:29:09,720 --> 01:29:11,889
But she knew
that we were safe.

1282
01:29:11,889 --> 01:29:13,682
For a mother,
that is everything.

1283
01:29:16,727 --> 01:29:20,898
And, um, my cousins,
Honza and Tommy

1284
01:29:22,524 --> 01:29:24,234
were on the last train.

1285
01:29:26,111 --> 01:29:27,905
Yeah.

1286
01:29:27,905 --> 01:29:30,157
Though I never
saw them again, of course.

1287
01:30:01,980 --> 01:30:02,981
Nicky.

1288
01:30:14,618 --> 01:30:15,786
Nicky.

1289
01:30:52,656 --> 01:30:53,740
I'm sorry.

1290
01:31:06,461 --> 01:31:08,755
I'm sorry. Very sorry.

1291
01:31:08,755 --> 01:31:09,840
Don't.

1292
01:31:16,763 --> 01:31:17,764
I'll get it.

1293
01:31:23,061 --> 01:31:24,938
Nicky! You've not
called me back.

1294
01:31:24,938 --> 01:31:26,607
I left messages!

1295
01:31:26,607 --> 01:31:29,443
- Doesn't it follow that I don't
want to talk to you?
- Oh, come on, come on,
let me do a piece.

1296
01:31:29,443 --> 01:31:30,777
No, thanks.

1297
01:31:30,777 --> 01:31:32,905
Come on. It's such
a brilliant story, Nicky.

1298
01:31:32,905 --> 01:31:37,034
You're a hero. Nicky, please.
Please.

1299
01:31:37,034 --> 01:31:38,744
What...
It's not about me.

1300
01:31:38,744 --> 01:31:39,828
- Nicky, come on,

1301
01:31:39,828 --> 01:31:40,913
give me a chance.

1302
01:31:43,373 --> 01:31:44,958
Maidenhead, 3310.

1303
01:31:44,958 --> 01:31:46,501
<i>Hello, is
Mister Winton there, please?</i>

1304
01:31:46,501 --> 01:31:49,630
No, he's not available.
Can I ask who's calling?

1305
01:31:49,630 --> 01:31:52,549
<i>This is Katinka Blackford
from</i> That's Life!

1306
01:31:52,549 --> 01:31:54,593
Oh. Oh, I see.

1307
01:31:56,428 --> 01:31:59,723
Two more children, huh?

1308
01:31:59,723 --> 01:32:04,061
They... They phoned in
after last week's show.

1309
01:32:04,061 --> 01:32:06,563
Yeah.

1310
01:32:06,563 --> 01:32:10,108
They so
desperately want to meet you.

1311
01:32:14,613 --> 01:32:16,323
You don't have to do it.

1312
01:32:17,574 --> 01:32:18,575
Don't I?

1313
01:32:20,702 --> 01:32:23,413
I asked them to send
the children's details to us.

1314
01:32:24,790 --> 01:32:26,583
I won't have you
ambushed again.

1315
01:32:39,012 --> 01:32:40,722
Milena...

1316
01:32:40,722 --> 01:32:43,141
Well, goodness. This girl's
done very well for herself.

1317
01:32:43,141 --> 01:32:44,685
Yeah.

1318
01:32:44,685 --> 01:32:46,478
Milena is now
Lady Grenfell Baines.

1319
01:32:46,478 --> 01:32:48,021
Oh.

1320
01:32:48,021 --> 01:32:50,899
All right.

1321
01:32:55,445 --> 01:32:58,282
- Who's that?
Hanus.

1322
01:32:58,282 --> 01:33:00,742
Perhaps it's too much.
Perhaps you've done enough.

1323
01:33:00,742 --> 01:33:01,952
No, I...

1324
01:33:03,203 --> 01:33:05,747
I started
the whole thing, so...

1325
01:33:05,747 --> 01:33:07,165
I have to finish it.

1326
01:33:10,252 --> 01:33:14,006
Last week was incredible
for us here at <i>That's Life!</i>

1327
01:33:14,006 --> 01:33:17,509
We told a story that touched
the hearts of so many people.

1328
01:33:17,509 --> 01:33:20,929
We've been overwhelmed
by the response.

1329
01:33:20,929 --> 01:33:23,765
One of the people who was
very affected last week

1330
01:33:23,765 --> 01:33:26,101
is with us here tonight.

1331
01:33:26,101 --> 01:33:30,063
Milena Fleischmann,
now Lady Grenfell Baines,

1332
01:33:30,063 --> 01:33:34,151
was also one of the children
that Nicholas Winton rescued.

1333
01:33:34,151 --> 01:33:38,155
Milena, I understand
you still have the name tag

1334
01:33:38,155 --> 01:33:39,531
that you wore around your neck

1335
01:33:39,531 --> 01:33:42,451
when you arrived here
as a little girl.

1336
01:33:42,451 --> 01:33:45,787
Yes, I wore this
around my neck

1337
01:33:45,787 --> 01:33:49,333
and this is the actual pass

1338
01:33:49,333 --> 01:33:52,544
we were given
to come to England.

1339
01:33:52,544 --> 01:33:55,630
So, I am one of the children
that you saved.

1340
01:34:01,595 --> 01:34:04,765
Now, Mr Winton, having
introduced you to Milena,

1341
01:34:04,765 --> 01:34:07,934
there's somebody else that
we'd like to tell you about.

1342
01:34:07,934 --> 01:34:12,272
Hanus Schnabel was only 11
when he came over here.

1343
01:34:13,732 --> 01:34:14,900
We have his passport

1344
01:34:16,651 --> 01:34:19,738
with all the official
stamps in it.

1345
01:34:19,738 --> 01:34:22,240
I don't know
whether you can see,

1346
01:34:22,240 --> 01:34:24,785
but this is how he got here.

1347
01:34:24,785 --> 01:34:26,286
And he told us...

1348
01:34:26,286 --> 01:34:28,622
"I don't know how
my rescue was arranged.

1349
01:34:28,622 --> 01:34:31,249
"I had no idea when I left
my parents at Prague station

1350
01:34:31,249 --> 01:34:33,126
"that I would never
see them again.

1351
01:34:33,126 --> 01:34:35,128
"My older brother Franta
was supposed

1352
01:34:35,128 --> 01:34:36,838
"to come here by train
in September,

1353
01:34:36,838 --> 01:34:39,716
"but war broke out and I never
saw him again either.

1354
01:34:39,716 --> 01:34:42,260
"I hoped all through the war
that they would survive,

1355
01:34:42,260 --> 01:34:45,222
"but they were gassed
in a concentration camp.

1356
01:34:45,222 --> 01:34:47,182
"I've often wondered
who was responsible

1357
01:34:47,182 --> 01:34:48,934
"for organising my rescue.

1358
01:34:48,934 --> 01:34:50,352
"I would dearly love
to meet him

1359
01:34:50,352 --> 01:34:52,354
"and thank him
for helping us children

1360
01:34:52,354 --> 01:34:54,940
"without any hope
of acknowledgement."

1361
01:34:54,940 --> 01:34:58,568
Hanus' name is
on Mr Winton's list.

1362
01:34:58,568 --> 01:35:01,196
And Hanus is here
with us tonight.

1363
01:35:04,783 --> 01:35:05,992
Oh.

1364
01:35:05,992 --> 01:35:07,077
Thank you.

1365
01:35:10,414 --> 01:35:12,082
Now, I don't want
to rush you.

1366
01:35:12,082 --> 01:35:14,668
I know you've waited
a long time for this moment,

1367
01:35:14,668 --> 01:35:17,129
but you'll be able
to talk to Hanus later.

1368
01:35:18,755 --> 01:35:21,925
However, our evening
isn't quite over.

1369
01:35:26,012 --> 01:35:29,474
Can I ask, is there anyone
in the audience tonight

1370
01:35:29,474 --> 01:35:32,018
who owes their life
to Nicholas Winton?

1371
01:35:33,437 --> 01:35:35,564
If so, could you
stand up, please?

1372
01:35:54,791 --> 01:35:57,085
Mr Winton, would you like
to turn around?

1373
01:36:16,438 --> 01:36:18,023
You can meet
all of these people

1374
01:36:18,023 --> 01:36:21,026
properly after the programme.

1375
01:36:21,026 --> 01:36:26,031
In the meantime, Mr Winton,
on behalf of all of them,

1376
01:36:26,031 --> 01:36:27,908
thank you very much indeed.

1377
01:38:31,906 --> 01:38:33,241
See Grandpa?

1378
01:38:40,874 --> 01:38:43,501
- Hello. Hello, Vera. Come in.
- Oh, Nicky.

1379
01:38:43,501 --> 01:38:45,629
- Hello.

1380
01:38:45,629 --> 01:38:48,465
- Good, go through. Hello.
- Hi.

1381
01:38:48,465 --> 01:38:50,300
What's your name?
Hi,

1382
01:38:50,300 --> 01:38:52,135
- I'm Vera's daughter.
Hello.

1383
01:38:52,135 --> 01:38:53,428
Nice to meet you.
Hello. Come through.

1384
01:38:53,428 --> 01:38:54,888
This is
so beautiful.

1385
01:38:54,888 --> 01:38:56,264
Oh, this is Nicola.

1386
01:38:56,264 --> 01:38:57,766
- Oh, hello. Hello.
- My daughter.

1387
01:38:57,766 --> 01:38:59,392
And this is Rebecca,
my little grandchild.

1388
01:38:59,392 --> 01:39:00,977
- Wow. Hello.
Say, "Hello."

1389
01:39:00,977 --> 01:39:02,937
Hi. So, you do have a pool.

1390
01:39:02,937 --> 01:39:04,022
We do have a pool.

1391
01:39:05,440 --> 01:39:08,193
Nicky, turn the music down
a little bit, darling.

1392
01:39:12,947 --> 01:39:14,908
Hello, young man. Hello.

1393
01:39:14,908 --> 01:39:16,826
Right,
be careful, though.

1394
01:39:16,826 --> 01:39:17,911
Not too fast.

1395
01:39:17,911 --> 01:39:19,954
Oh, it's beautiful, isn't it?

1396
01:39:19,954 --> 01:39:21,414
Oh, my goodness.

1397
01:39:21,414 --> 01:39:22,749
Darling, you must
be really careful here.

1398
01:39:22,749 --> 01:39:25,543
Oh, you have
a lovely pool, Nicky.

1399
01:39:25,543 --> 01:39:27,128
Yeah. I like to swim.

1400
01:39:30,298 --> 01:39:31,508
- You remember?
- Mm.

1401
01:39:34,135 --> 01:39:35,261
You all got towels?
Yes, yes, yes, yes.

01:39:35,261 --> 01:39:37,305
Can we go in?
Yes!

1403
01:39:37,305 --> 01:39:39,057
What's the temperature like?

1404
01:39:39,057 --> 01:39:40,642
It's all right
if you're a penguin.

1405
01:39:42,686 --> 01:39:44,896
Let's have
a little go, shall we?

1406
01:39:44,896 --> 01:39:47,524
- Oh. Gotcha!

1407
01:39:48,191 --> 01:39:49,859
Oh!

1408
01:39:55,448 --> 01:39:57,575
- Isn't that lovely.
