12
00:03:10,911 --> 00:03:13,453
Well, that's what happens
when you deregulate.

13
00:03:13,453 --> 00:03:15,328

14
00:03:15,328 --> 00:03:18,037

26
00:03:49,875 --> 00:03:51,292
Hello, darling.

27
00:03:54,084 --> 00:03:55,793
I was worried this would be...

28
00:03:55,793 --> 00:03:57,626
- Huh?
- ...burnt on top.

29
00:04:05,211 --> 00:04:06,461
You all right?

30
00:04:06,461 --> 00:04:09,003
What?
- What's that?

31
00:04:09,003 --> 00:04:12,878
Well, what does it look like?
It's a button.

32
00:04:12,878 --> 00:04:15,128
- A button?
- Yes.

33
00:04:15,128 --> 00:04:18,296
Somebody just, uh,
put it in the tin.

34
00:04:18,296 --> 00:04:21,964
Honestly. People.

35
00:04:21,964 --> 00:04:24,463
Well, you never know
when it may come in handy.

36
00:04:27,047 --> 00:04:28,047
Hm.

37
00:04:46,133 --> 00:04:47,133
Oh.

38
00:04:49,884 --> 00:04:51,759
Oh, hello.
What have you got now?

39
00:04:52,759 --> 00:04:54,510
Oh, it's a typewriter.

40
00:04:54,510 --> 00:04:57,510
I know what it is,
but you've already got one.

41
00:04:57,510 --> 00:05:00,594
I know. It's not for me.
It's, um...

42
00:05:00,594 --> 00:05:03,386
They don't need it anymore
at the day centre,

43
00:05:03,386 --> 00:05:04,469
so I thought it would be
all right

44
00:05:04,469 --> 00:05:06,053
for the new care home.

45
00:05:06,053 --> 00:05:09,220
And, uh, we can hang on to it
in the meanwhile.

46
00:05:09,220 --> 00:05:10,637
- No.
- Huh?

47
00:05:10,637 --> 00:05:12,137
No.

48
00:05:12,137 --> 00:05:15,554
Why? Uh, I've also got
a desk outside.

49
00:05:15,554 --> 00:05:17,972
- What? Where?
- Well, I haven't
brought it in yet but...

50
00:05:17,972 --> 00:05:20,055
- Oh, Nicky. It's too much.
- What?

51
00:05:20,055 --> 00:05:22,597
How will we fit everyone in
at Christmas?

52
00:05:22,597 --> 00:05:23,973
I don't know.

53
00:05:23,973 --> 00:05:25,139
They'll just have to shove up,
won't they?

54
00:05:25,139 --> 00:05:26,640
Your daughter is
seven months pregnant.

55
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,057
- I know.
- She cannot "shove up".

56
00:05:29,057 --> 00:05:30,515
All right.

57
00:05:30,515 --> 00:05:32,391
Well, I'll move it all
to the study then.

58
00:05:32,391 --> 00:05:34,140
Oh, the study.

59
00:05:34,140 --> 00:05:36,432
I bet you have plenty
of room in the study.

60
00:05:36,432 --> 00:05:38,433
- God.
- Let's go and check the study.

61
00:05:40,225 --> 00:05:41,809
- Oh, Nicky.
Out.

62
00:05:42,850 --> 00:05:45,101
Do you still need all this?

63
00:05:45,101 --> 00:05:47,518
Yes. Why?

64
00:05:47,518 --> 00:05:51,227
What... What's in
all these drawers?

65
00:05:51,227 --> 00:05:53,310
- Well, everything I think.
Darling.

66
00:05:56,019 --> 00:05:57,936
A domino, a biscuit

67
00:05:59,936 --> 00:06:02,395
and how many rubber bands
does one man need?

68
00:06:02,395 --> 00:06:04,979
I don't know.
I've never asked the question.

69
00:06:07,396 --> 00:06:10,813
And you've got to find
the right home for that.

70
00:06:10,813 --> 00:06:13,146
Somewhere it will
be appreciated.

71
00:06:15,939 --> 00:06:17,147
Please, Nicky,

72
00:06:18,231 --> 00:06:20,064
you have to let go.

73
00:06:20,064 --> 00:06:21,690
For your own sake.

74
00:07:26,408 --> 00:07:28,700
Oh, I'm so looking forward
to it.

75
00:07:28,700 --> 00:07:30,574
<i>Do you want me
to stay with him?</i>

76
00:07:30,574 --> 00:07:33,701
No, no. No, he'll be fine.

77
00:07:33,701 --> 00:07:35,409
<i>Okay, well,
maybe I'll just call him.</i>

78
00:07:35,409 --> 00:07:40,159
Yes. Yes.
He's a grown man.

79
00:07:43,286 --> 00:07:44,910
You don't have to wave me off.

80
00:07:44,910 --> 00:07:46,994
Of course I'm going
to wave you off.

81
00:07:46,994 --> 00:07:48,120
Everyone's here.

82
00:07:48,869 --> 00:07:49,869
Ah.

83
00:07:56,996 --> 00:07:58,162
Huh.

84
00:08:06,539 --> 00:08:08,622
Hm.

85
00:08:09,123 --> 00:08:10,998
Nicky,

86
00:08:10,998 --> 00:08:12,456
don't let yourself get...

87
00:08:12,456 --> 00:08:13,581
What?

88
00:08:13,581 --> 00:08:15,665
How you get.

89
00:08:15,665 --> 00:08:18,416
- I won't. Of course I won't.

90
00:08:18,416 --> 00:08:19,957
You have a wonderful time.

91
00:08:57,046 --> 00:08:59,338
- Home.
Ah, Nicky.

92
00:08:59,338 --> 00:09:01,131
- You missed Martin.
- Damn.

93
00:09:02,505 --> 00:09:03,839
Two hearts. Kings.

94
00:09:03,839 --> 00:09:06,256
Uh, hello. Did Martin say
if he'd call back?

95
00:09:06,256 --> 00:09:07,965
Seven o'clock sharp.

96
00:09:07,965 --> 00:09:10,257
Oh.

97
00:09:10,257 --> 00:09:12,424
Thank you, mother.
You're very welcome, son.

98
00:09:14,049 --> 00:09:16,425
Isn't Martin the chap
he was supposed
to be going skiing with?

99
00:09:16,425 --> 00:09:19,883
Yes. But Martin is
in Prague now,

100
00:09:19,883 --> 00:09:21,466
helping refugees.

101
00:09:21,466 --> 00:09:22,967
Prague?

102
00:09:22,967 --> 00:09:24,551
Well, precisely.

103
00:09:28,260 --> 00:09:29,843
- Hello?
<i>It's Martin.</i>

104
00:09:29,843 --> 00:09:31,176
<i>- Can you hear me? Nicky?</i>
- I... I can hear you.

105
00:09:31,176 --> 00:09:32,719
<i>- It's a terrible line.</i>
- I can hear you.

106
00:09:32,719 --> 00:09:34,094
<i>Listen, I'm not sure
you should come.</i>

107
00:09:34,094 --> 00:09:36,261
No, it's all arranged.
I have my ticket.

108
00:09:36,261 --> 00:09:38,136
<i>I have
to leave Prague tonight.</i>

109
00:09:38,136 --> 00:09:41,594
<i>I'll have a man called
Trevor Chadwick meet you.</i>

110
00:09:41,594 --> 00:09:44,512
<i>I'm so sorry.
It's just such a mess here.</i>

111
00:09:44,512 --> 00:09:45,512
Happy Christmas.

112
00:09:51,555 --> 00:09:53,054
So, you going?

113
00:09:53,054 --> 00:09:55,264
I am, yes.

114
00:09:58,681 --> 00:10:01,764
Everyone in Prague
is trying to get out.

115
00:10:01,764 --> 00:10:04,056
My son is trying to get in.

116
00:10:04,056 --> 00:10:06,682
Did you speak to Martin?

117
00:10:06,682 --> 00:10:10,599
I did. Uh, turns out
he's not gonna be there.

118
00:10:10,599 --> 00:10:12,766
He's escorting some refugees
out of the country

119
00:10:12,766 --> 00:10:14,766
and then he's heading
back home to London.

120
00:10:14,766 --> 00:10:17,017
- Nicky.
- Look, I have to do something.

121
00:10:17,017 --> 00:10:18,934
It... Is...

122
00:10:18,934 --> 00:10:21,350
And you, of all people,
should understand that.

123
00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:22,684
Isn't that what you taught me?

124
00:10:22,684 --> 00:10:24,727
Well, I can't just sit here
reading about it.

125
00:10:24,727 --> 00:10:26,184
These people need help.

126
00:10:26,184 --> 00:10:29,560
I was never in doubt
that the cause was just,

127
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:31,019
only whether Prague is safe.

128
00:10:31,019 --> 00:10:32,185
It's only a week.

129
00:10:32,185 --> 00:10:34,477
Uh, I'll be back
before you even miss me.

130
00:10:34,477 --> 00:10:36,769
Nicky, it's not a joke.

131
00:10:36,769 --> 00:10:38,061
I know, I know.

132
00:10:39,061 --> 00:10:40,312
I'm sorry, but I...

133
00:10:42,062 --> 00:10:43,271
I have to go.

134
00:11:18,609 --> 00:11:19,609
Here we are.

135
00:11:22,943 --> 00:11:24,527
Mr Chadwick.
- This is Mr Winton.

136
00:11:24,527 --> 00:11:26,235
Evening.
- Now, don't go giving him

137
00:11:26,235 --> 00:11:27,819
a better room than me.

138
00:11:27,819 --> 00:11:29,777
All our rooms are the best
rooms, Mr Chadwick.

139
00:11:29,777 --> 00:11:31,361
Rudi takes good care of us.

140
00:11:31,361 --> 00:11:35,154
Welcome. And Miss Warriner
is in the bar.

141
00:11:37,195 --> 00:11:39,779
Oh, that's Doreen

142
00:11:39,779 --> 00:11:41,612
with one of our refugees.

143
00:11:42,572 --> 00:11:44,572
Over here.

144
00:11:47,905 --> 00:11:49,239
Her husband
was picked up

145
00:11:49,239 --> 00:11:50,823
on the street this morning.

146
00:11:52,364 --> 00:11:53,865
Picked up by?

147
00:11:53,865 --> 00:11:57,115
Doreen thinks Nazi spies
doing Hitler's dirty work.

148
00:11:57,115 --> 00:11:59,157
What will happen?
To him, I mean.

149
00:11:59,157 --> 00:12:02,199
Ah, thank you, thank you.

150
00:12:02,199 --> 00:12:03,575
He'll be dumped somewhere.

151
00:12:03,575 --> 00:12:04,950
Maybe alive,

152
00:12:05,783 --> 00:12:07,783
but probably not.

153
00:12:09,867 --> 00:12:11,534
You're Martin's
friend, the stockbroker.

154
00:12:11,534 --> 00:12:15,535
- Nicky. And you must be, uh...
- Unbelievably angry.

155
00:12:15,535 --> 00:12:16,993
So?
We've managed to get

156
00:12:16,993 --> 00:12:18,410
Monika into a safe house
for the night

157
00:12:18,410 --> 00:12:20,119
and her daughter
on the plane out tomorrow.

158
00:12:21,369 --> 00:12:23,869
Well,
that's something.

159
00:12:23,869 --> 00:12:26,619
So, Martin says you know
your way around a desk.

160
00:12:26,619 --> 00:12:28,037
That's quite an accolade.

161
00:12:28,037 --> 00:12:30,412
It is here.
Paperwork's everything.

162
00:12:34,079 --> 00:12:35,746
And can
I just ask, um,

163
00:12:35,746 --> 00:12:38,204
why... why was that woman's
husband taken?

164
00:12:38,204 --> 00:12:39,997
He ran a newspaper in Germany.

165
00:12:39,997 --> 00:12:41,788
Spoke out against the Nazis.

166
00:12:41,788 --> 00:12:43,414
When it got too dangerous,

167
00:12:43,414 --> 00:12:44,831
they escaped over the border
into Czechoslovakia.

168
00:12:44,831 --> 00:12:46,165
- The Sudetenland.
- Where they thought

169
00:12:46,165 --> 00:12:47,539
they'd be safe.

170
00:12:47,539 --> 00:12:49,248
And so they fled
to Prague.

171
00:12:51,081 --> 00:12:52,290
All right, I've got
a lot to do.

172
00:12:52,290 --> 00:12:53,373
Taking supplies
to the camps tomorrow.

173
00:12:53,373 --> 00:12:54,749
I could use your help.

174
00:12:59,958 --> 00:13:02,334
Can I ask what
brought you out here?

175
00:13:02,334 --> 00:13:06,459
I came 10 years ago
for a study trip.

176
00:13:06,459 --> 00:13:10,543
I just... just love the place,
love the people.

177
00:13:10,543 --> 00:13:13,460
Now they're in trouble.
So I came back.

178
00:13:23,378 --> 00:13:25,628
Are they all
from the Sudetenland?

179
00:13:25,628 --> 00:13:27,338
Mostly.

180
00:13:27,338 --> 00:13:32,047
Some from Austria and Germany
who fled there first.

181
00:13:32,047 --> 00:13:34,796
Drive an hour north of here,
towards the German border,

182
00:13:34,796 --> 00:13:36,213
you'll see the towns
they ran from

183
00:13:36,213 --> 00:13:37,630
hung with Nazi flags.

184
00:13:46,090 --> 00:13:47,882
Dear God.

185
00:13:47,882 --> 00:13:50,132
I know. And there are
thousands more like this.

186
00:14:02,092 --> 00:14:04,509
<i>Ahoj,</i> Hana.
This is Nicholas Winton.

187
00:14:04,509 --> 00:14:05,760
He's here to help out.

188
00:14:06,676 --> 00:14:08,302
Oh.

189
00:14:08,302 --> 00:14:10,594
Hana Hejdukova. Liaison
officer for Czech refugees.

190
00:14:10,594 --> 00:14:12,344
- Hello.
- Your first time

191
00:14:12,344 --> 00:14:15,636
- in Czechoslovakia?
- Yes, yes, it... Yes, it is.

192
00:14:15,636 --> 00:14:18,261
Shame you didn't come sooner.
When there was more of it.

193
00:14:18,261 --> 00:14:19,470
Hana.

194
00:14:21,346 --> 00:14:23,721
Um, can you get the others?

195
00:14:23,721 --> 00:14:26,512
Oh, there we go.

196
00:14:26,512 --> 00:14:28,430
So, you've managed
to get doctors out to them?

197
00:14:28,430 --> 00:14:31,597
Oh, plenty
of doctors already here.

198
00:14:31,597 --> 00:14:33,638
Lots of these children grew up
thinking the worst thing

199
00:14:33,638 --> 00:14:36,014
that was ever gonna happen
to them was piano practice.

200
00:14:39,348 --> 00:14:40,349
Nicky.

201
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:10,528
- Hello.

202
00:16:14,904 --> 00:16:16,279
I'm so... I'm sorry,

203
00:16:16,279 --> 00:16:17,529
I haven't got anything.

204
00:16:19,030 --> 00:16:20,197
Oh, wait,

205
00:16:21,113 --> 00:16:22,864
now hold on a moment.

206
00:16:24,864 --> 00:16:26,323
- Chocolate.

207
00:16:28,531 --> 00:16:30,698
Here we go.

208
00:16:30,698 --> 00:16:32,282
Oh, yes,

209
00:16:32,282 --> 00:16:34,532
of course you'd like some
as well.

210
00:16:34,532 --> 00:16:36,824
- There we go.

211
00:16:36,824 --> 00:16:38,324
Oh.

212
00:16:38,324 --> 00:16:40,116
Let's see
how far we go.

213
00:16:40,116 --> 00:16:42,200
Oh, crikey.

214
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,533
There's only a tiny bit.

215
00:16:43,533 --> 00:16:45,326
- And little bit for you.

216
00:16:45,326 --> 00:16:46,409
Little bit for you.

217
00:16:48,117 --> 00:16:49,659
That's it.
That's the last of it.

218
00:16:49,659 --> 00:16:51,534
- There you go.

219
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,786
I'm sorry. I'll, um...
I'll bring more, another day.

220
00:17:02,620 --> 00:17:03,953
<i>Foto, foto.</i>

221
00:17:07,662 --> 00:17:09,245
Yes, yes. It's a good idea.

222
00:17:10,204 --> 00:17:12,205
What's your name?

223
00:17:12,205 --> 00:17:13,662
- I'm Nicky.

224
00:17:13,662 --> 00:17:14,747
Can you say, "Nicky"?

225
00:17:16,914 --> 00:17:19,164
- There we go.

226
00:17:27,873 --> 00:17:30,165
How will these children
survive the winter?

227
00:17:30,165 --> 00:17:32,500
Well, they probably won't.

228
00:17:32,500 --> 00:17:34,375
And there are
a dozen more places like this.

229
00:17:36,458 --> 00:17:38,541
Surely, they should be
the priority,

230
00:17:38,541 --> 00:17:40,459
the children, families.

231
00:17:40,459 --> 00:17:42,793
My remit is
to rescue politicals

232
00:17:42,793 --> 00:17:44,626
at imminent risk of arrest.

233
00:17:44,626 --> 00:17:46,418
And I've hardly the money
or manpower for that.

234
00:17:46,418 --> 00:17:47,418
What about
the British government trains?

235
00:17:47,418 --> 00:17:49,085
The Kindertransport?

236
00:17:49,085 --> 00:17:51,086
It's only for children leaving
Germany and Austria.

237
00:17:51,086 --> 00:17:52,668
Not from Czechoslovakia.

238
00:17:52,668 --> 00:17:54,711
Unfortunately, His Majesty's
government refuses

239
00:17:54,711 --> 00:17:56,544
to believe these people
are in danger.

240
00:18:12,339 --> 00:18:13,963
How many
children are we talking about?

241
00:18:13,963 --> 00:18:15,381
Oh, well, we don't know.
That's part of the problem.

242
00:18:15,381 --> 00:18:18,923
Thousands. There's refugees
all over the city.

243
00:18:18,923 --> 00:18:20,465
Jewish people, especially.

244
00:18:20,465 --> 00:18:21,590
But anyone, really,
who doesn't fit

245
00:18:21,590 --> 00:18:22,924
into Hitler's master race.

246
00:18:22,924 --> 00:18:24,299
They're banned from travel

247
00:18:24,299 --> 00:18:25,965
and the UK's
refusing entry visas

248
00:18:25,965 --> 00:18:28,758
to families trying to get out.
It's chaos.

249
00:18:28,758 --> 00:18:30,591
Welcome to
the British Committee

250
00:18:30,591 --> 00:18:32,716
for Refugees
from Czechoslovakia.

251
00:18:32,716 --> 00:18:35,008
Hana, get him those files,
would you?

252
00:18:35,008 --> 00:18:36,759
That's quite a filing system.

253
00:18:36,759 --> 00:18:39,759
Yes. Well,
if the Germans
send in their spies,

254
00:18:39,759 --> 00:18:41,843
at least they won't be able
to find anything.

255
00:18:41,843 --> 00:18:43,676
- In any case,

256
00:18:43,676 --> 00:18:45,177
you're the one who's supposed
to be good with paperwork.

257
00:18:45,177 --> 00:18:46,260
This is you.

258
00:18:51,552 --> 00:18:53,969
Uh, yes, this report

259
00:18:53,969 --> 00:18:56,096
details
the political activists

260
00:18:56,096 --> 00:18:57,470
in and around Prague.

261
00:19:00,262 --> 00:19:02,513
What's this?

262
00:19:02,513 --> 00:19:05,930
The Führer's travel plans
in black and white.

263
00:19:05,930 --> 00:19:07,889
He's got his sights set
on half of Europe.

264
00:19:07,889 --> 00:19:09,389
It's just a question of when.

265
00:19:10,722 --> 00:19:12,139
Who else has seen it?

266
00:19:12,139 --> 00:19:13,348
Half of Prague, I imagine.

267
00:19:15,556 --> 00:19:17,640
Meant to intimidate.

268
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,848
Hitler's never made any secret
of his ambitions.

269
00:19:19,848 --> 00:19:21,432
The allies banked
on appeasing him

270
00:19:21,432 --> 00:19:23,183
with a fat slice
of this country.

271
00:19:23,183 --> 00:19:24,724
Now the vicious shit's just
gonna take the rest of it.

272
00:19:26,141 --> 00:19:28,809
The children.
We have to move them.

273
00:19:28,809 --> 00:19:30,809
Says the man
who arrived yesterday.

274
00:19:30,809 --> 00:19:33,226
Well, I'm not suggesting
it's gonna be easy.

275
00:19:33,226 --> 00:19:37,559
A mass transit of children
without money or... or visas?

276
00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:39,310
Well, we'll find a way.

277
00:19:39,310 --> 00:19:42,602
How long are you here for?
A week?

278
00:19:42,602 --> 00:19:43,894
And then you're back
to your bank.

279
00:19:43,894 --> 00:19:45,228
Can we please put that aside
for now?

280
00:19:45,228 --> 00:19:47,520
Well, can we please
be realistic?

281
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,186
We can't give
these people false hope.

282
00:19:49,186 --> 00:19:53,521
Look, we... we have to believe
that this might be possible.

283
00:19:53,521 --> 00:19:55,396
Look...

284
00:19:55,396 --> 00:19:58,146
Let me try. Let... Let...
Let me

285
00:19:58,146 --> 00:20:00,230
find out the scale
of the problem.

286
00:20:00,230 --> 00:20:04,356
You know, how many children,
names and ages,

287
00:20:04,356 --> 00:20:05,564
where they're living.

288
00:20:07,189 --> 00:20:08,439
There must be
existing information.

289
00:20:12,065 --> 00:20:15,232
Well, the vulnerable groups,
they do have lists.

290
00:20:15,232 --> 00:20:18,732
But, they are scared
to share them.

291
00:20:18,732 --> 00:20:21,691
Well, then, we need
to earn their trust.

292
00:20:22,691 --> 00:20:24,691
We need those lists.

293
00:20:24,691 --> 00:20:26,025
So, we have to persuade them.

294
00:20:27,943 --> 00:20:29,567
Please, let me try.

295
00:20:33,943 --> 00:20:36,985
Good afternoon.
Uh, my name is Winton.

296
00:20:36,985 --> 00:20:39,152
Nicholas Winton.

297
00:20:39,152 --> 00:20:41,486
Yes, I'm ringing from
the British Committee

298
00:20:41,486 --> 00:20:43,486
for Refugees
from Czechoslovakia.

299
00:20:43,486 --> 00:20:46,445
Well, I'm looking to obtain
a list of vulnerable children.

300
00:20:48,779 --> 00:20:51,612
No, I understand, but we will
have everything in place.

301
00:20:51,612 --> 00:20:53,238
- Hello? Hello?

302
00:21:00,614 --> 00:21:03,572
Yes.
May I at least come and meet?

303
00:21:05,448 --> 00:21:07,240
Thank you for seeing me.

304
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:08,740
How could I resist?

305
00:21:08,740 --> 00:21:10,782
You're offering to get
children out of Prague.

306
00:21:10,782 --> 00:21:11,865
A lot of them.

307
00:21:11,865 --> 00:21:13,533
That is correct.

308
00:21:13,533 --> 00:21:15,825
Hitler will be thrilled
to know you're helping him

309
00:21:15,825 --> 00:21:17,283
eradicate Jews
from the region.

310
00:21:20,742 --> 00:21:24,659
With... With respect, uh,
I'm moving children

311
00:21:24,659 --> 00:21:27,410
of all faiths and none.

312
00:21:27,410 --> 00:21:28,952
Separating them
from their families,

313
00:21:28,952 --> 00:21:31,661
perhaps from their religion?

314
00:21:31,661 --> 00:21:34,411
Accommodating them
in safe homes,

315
00:21:34,411 --> 00:21:37,036
with families in foster homes.

316
00:21:37,036 --> 00:21:38,245
Jewish foster homes?

317
00:21:41,495 --> 00:21:43,745
I don't know.

318
00:21:43,745 --> 00:21:45,829
I don't think
that's a question for now.

319
00:21:45,829 --> 00:21:48,538
But it's a question
I'm asking.

320
00:21:48,538 --> 00:21:51,205
You are not the only person
at this table

321
00:21:51,205 --> 00:21:52,955
concerned about the well-being
of Jewish children.

322
00:21:52,955 --> 00:21:55,622
Parents in London
are preparing

323
00:21:55,622 --> 00:21:57,581
to send their children
out of the city

324
00:21:57,581 --> 00:21:59,456
to safety in the event
of a war.

325
00:21:59,456 --> 00:22:02,915
What I'm proposing
is no different.

326
00:22:02,915 --> 00:22:05,582
Your children would
be protected

327
00:22:05,582 --> 00:22:08,374
and returned to their families
as soon as it's safe.

328
00:22:11,166 --> 00:22:13,583
Are you Jewish, Mr Winton?

329
00:22:16,792 --> 00:22:19,000
Why would you ask that?

330
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,793
Because I wonder why a person
would undertake

331
00:22:21,793 --> 00:22:24,585
this daunting task for people

332
00:22:24,585 --> 00:22:27,002
to whom he has
no real allegiance,

333
00:22:27,002 --> 00:22:29,627
in a place where
he does not belong.

334
00:22:32,878 --> 00:22:34,545
You're a stockbroker
from London

335
00:22:35,878 --> 00:22:37,837
with a comfortable life,
I presume.

336
00:22:38,962 --> 00:22:41,088
You've done some research.

337
00:22:41,088 --> 00:22:45,213
It is a serious matter.
So, why are you doing this?

338
00:22:45,213 --> 00:22:48,089
What I mean is,
who are you, Mr Winton?

339
00:22:49,214 --> 00:22:50,339
Well...

340
00:22:50,339 --> 00:22:52,673
My father's family

341
00:22:52,673 --> 00:22:56,923
came from Germany
to London in the 1870s.

342
00:22:56,923 --> 00:22:59,215
Till just a few months ago,
we were Wertheims.

343
00:23:00,632 --> 00:23:02,007
We went through the last war

344
00:23:02,007 --> 00:23:05,007
with a German surname
and my mother...

345
00:23:05,007 --> 00:23:08,716
my mother couldn't stand
doing it again, so...

346
00:23:08,716 --> 00:23:12,134
And my grandparents
on both sides were Jewish.

347
00:23:14,426 --> 00:23:17,343
But I was baptised
in the Church of England.

348
00:23:17,343 --> 00:23:18,718
So,

349
00:23:20,385 --> 00:23:21,885
I don't know
what you'd call me.

350
00:23:21,885 --> 00:23:23,219
I would call you a Jew.

351
00:23:26,511 --> 00:23:28,928
I consider myself a European,

352
00:23:30,220 --> 00:23:31,345
an agnostic,

353
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:33,720
and a Socialist.

354
00:23:35,554 --> 00:23:37,804
There are children here,

355
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,847
living in fields, in the open,
in... in... in mud...

356
00:23:45,931 --> 00:23:47,639
The worst of winter's
still to come

357
00:23:47,639 --> 00:23:50,306
and under the threat
of Nazi invasion.

358
00:23:51,473 --> 00:23:52,807
I have seen this

359
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:55,266
and I cannot unsee it.

360
00:23:57,307 --> 00:24:01,683
And because I may be able
to do something about it,

361
00:24:03,850 --> 00:24:04,850
I must.

362
00:24:06,308 --> 00:24:07,684
At least try.

363
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,518
The task you propose

364
00:24:15,601 --> 00:24:17,893
requires money and visas.

365
00:24:17,893 --> 00:24:19,894
I don't have them. Yet.

366
00:24:24,812 --> 00:24:26,228
But I'll get them.

367
00:24:37,772 --> 00:24:40,522
If I send these children
to you,

368
00:24:40,522 --> 00:24:43,856
I'm placing their lives
in your hands.

369
00:24:43,856 --> 00:24:46,023
A very great responsibility.

370
00:24:46,023 --> 00:24:49,107
So, in the end, Mr Winton,

371
00:24:50,898 --> 00:24:52,983
it is a question of trust.

372
00:24:57,316 --> 00:24:59,233
In Hebrew, there is a saying.

373
00:25:08,734 --> 00:25:10,610
Don't start
what you can't finish.

374
00:25:24,112 --> 00:25:26,487
Hampstead, 7946.

375
00:25:26,487 --> 00:25:27,404
Mother?

376
00:25:27,404 --> 00:25:29,654
Nicky! So good to hear you.

377
00:25:29,654 --> 00:25:30,780
Now, listen, I can't be long.

378
00:25:30,780 --> 00:25:32,905
<i>No, of course not. No, uh...</i>

379
00:25:32,905 --> 00:25:34,114
But are you all right?

380
00:25:34,114 --> 00:25:35,489
<i>Are you safe?</i>

381
00:25:35,489 --> 00:25:36,905
I'm perfectly fine.

382
00:25:36,905 --> 00:25:39,031
<i>You don't sound
very convincing.</i>

383
00:25:39,031 --> 00:25:40,573
Just tell me
you're coming home, yes?

384
00:25:40,573 --> 00:25:42,407
Yes, yes, now, listen.

385
00:25:42,407 --> 00:25:43,948
<i>I need you
to do something for me.</i>

386
00:25:44,490 --> 00:25:45,991
Tell me.

387
00:25:45,991 --> 00:25:47,532
<i>And I'm afraid it's not
going to be easy.</i>

388
00:25:49,907 --> 00:25:51,908
Hello, Rudi, I'd like
to send a telegram.

389
00:25:51,908 --> 00:25:53,533
Yes, certainly, sir,
just a moment.

390
00:25:56,867 --> 00:25:59,076
To, Mr Hart, H-A-R-T...

391
00:25:59,076 --> 00:26:00,367
"H-A-R-T."

392
00:26:00,367 --> 00:26:03,201
At Crews Brothers, stockbrokers.

393
00:26:03,201 --> 00:26:04,243
Slight change of plan.

394
00:26:04,243 --> 00:26:07,577
"Slight change."
- Stop.

395
00:26:07,577 --> 00:26:10,536
Working Prague with Refugees.

396
00:26:11,870 --> 00:26:13,203
<i>Return to office delayed.</i>

397
00:26:24,621 --> 00:26:27,164
He thought
you were official. German.

398
00:26:27,164 --> 00:26:29,622
Oh, no, no, no.
I'm sorry. Um...

399
00:26:29,622 --> 00:26:32,456
No, I'm... I'm... I'm trying
to help the families.

400
00:26:41,623 --> 00:26:44,416
- Madam.
- Oh.

401
00:26:44,416 --> 00:26:47,416
Good morning. My name
is Babette Winton.

402
00:26:47,416 --> 00:26:50,834
I'd like to speak
to someone in immigration.

403
00:26:50,834 --> 00:26:52,292
And where have
you arrived from?

404
00:26:52,292 --> 00:26:55,126
From Hampstead, on the 24 bus.

405
00:26:55,126 --> 00:26:57,918
I'm a British citizen
seeking your advice.

406
00:26:57,918 --> 00:27:00,210
- Do you have an appoint...
- An appointment? No.

407
00:27:00,210 --> 00:27:01,793
But I'm happy to wait.

408
00:27:17,087 --> 00:27:18,296
Mr Jovak?

409
00:27:18,838 --> 00:27:19,921
Here.

410
00:27:19,921 --> 00:27:21,130
Come this way, please.

411
00:27:26,839 --> 00:27:28,006
<i>Anyone else?</i>

412
00:27:28,006 --> 00:27:31,298
Yes, actually, um,
there was a young girl

413
00:27:31,298 --> 00:27:33,923
that I first saw when Doreen
brought me here, um...

414
00:27:33,923 --> 00:27:35,382
She was about 11 or 12.

415
00:27:35,382 --> 00:27:37,466
She had a very young
baby sister.

416
00:27:37,466 --> 00:27:39,299
Applications are considered
according to protocol...

417
00:27:39,299 --> 00:27:41,799
Oh, protocol. That is
a meaningless phrase.

418
00:27:41,799 --> 00:27:44,800
You repeating it ad infinitum
really doesn't help.

419
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,468
These are
unaccompanied children.

420
00:27:48,468 --> 00:27:49,925
They're children,
they are desperate,

421
00:27:49,925 --> 00:27:51,176
and they are starving.

422
00:27:51,176 --> 00:27:52,801
Like many poorer
British children.

423
00:27:52,801 --> 00:27:55,427
British children are not
facing the threat

424
00:27:55,427 --> 00:27:57,135
of imminent Nazi invasion.

425
00:27:57,135 --> 00:28:00,094
Mrs Winton, there are
other people waiting.

426
00:28:04,136 --> 00:28:05,678
If you don't mind...

427
00:28:05,678 --> 00:28:08,803
Young man, I have something
to tell you. Sit down.

428
00:28:16,597 --> 00:28:21,598
I came here 30 years ago,
from Germany, to marry.

429
00:28:21,598 --> 00:28:23,806
I raised my family here.

430
00:28:23,806 --> 00:28:26,431
My husband is buried here.

431
00:28:26,431 --> 00:28:31,140
And what I have most admired
about this country

432
00:28:31,140 --> 00:28:35,183
is its commitment
to decency, kindness,

433
00:28:35,183 --> 00:28:37,683
and respect for others.

434
00:28:37,683 --> 00:28:40,933
I raised my son in accordance
with these values

435
00:28:40,933 --> 00:28:45,185
and he is in Prague, now,
as we speak,

436
00:28:45,185 --> 00:28:49,018
putting these values
into practice.

437
00:28:49,018 --> 00:28:52,435
I am merely asking you
to do the same.

438
00:28:52,435 --> 00:28:54,060
Is that too much to ask?

439
00:29:01,936 --> 00:29:04,812
Ask your questions,
Mrs Winton.

440
00:29:04,812 --> 00:29:08,104
Thank you. Now, I need you
to concentrate

441
00:29:08,104 --> 00:29:09,855
and I need you
to be very clear.

442
00:29:14,564 --> 00:29:15,689
She's 12.

443
00:29:34,733 --> 00:29:38,193
They don't know
whose baby it is. No one does.

444
00:29:38,193 --> 00:29:39,901
She is helping care for her.

445
00:29:42,902 --> 00:29:45,110
But what about the parents?

446
00:29:46,693 --> 00:29:49,736
Hm, taken or dead.

447
00:30:01,654 --> 00:30:03,613
Right.

448
00:30:04,613 --> 00:30:05,613
Let's get on.

449
00:30:27,741 --> 00:30:29,492
<i>This is Maidenhead, 3310.</i>

450
00:30:29,492 --> 00:30:32,201
<i>Nicholas and Grete Winton.
Please leave a message.</i>

451
00:30:34,284 --> 00:30:35,992
<i>Hi, Dad.</i>

452
00:30:35,992 --> 00:30:39,035
<i>It's just me checking in
to see you're okay.</i>

453
00:30:39,035 --> 00:30:40,951
<i>We're all right. Had just been
to the clinic,</i>

454
00:30:40,951 --> 00:30:43,118
<i>everything's fine
with the baby.</i>

455
00:30:43,118 --> 00:30:44,660
<i>Mum says that you're thinking</i>

456
00:30:44,660 --> 00:30:46,785
<i>about what to do
with the briefcase.</i>

457
00:30:46,785 --> 00:30:48,286
<i>Um...</i>

458
00:30:48,286 --> 00:30:50,620
<i>I know that won't
be easy for you.</i>

459
00:30:50,620 --> 00:30:53,745
<i>I'm here if you wanna
talk about it.</i>

460
00:30:53,745 --> 00:30:55,537
<i>Hope you're swimming lots.</i>

461
00:32:43,428 --> 00:32:47,137
In Munich,
Nazis took my brothers.

462
00:32:47,137 --> 00:32:50,304
My nephews tried to stop them,

463
00:32:50,304 --> 00:32:54,472
12, 10 years old, just boys.

464
00:32:54,472 --> 00:32:58,139
They were beaten and thrown
down the stairs

465
00:32:58,139 --> 00:33:00,431
and taken to the camps.

466
00:33:07,766 --> 00:33:10,474
Eva and Vera.

467
00:33:10,474 --> 00:33:12,849
These are my sister's boys,

468
00:33:12,849 --> 00:33:15,934
Honza and Tommy.

469
00:33:15,934 --> 00:33:19,059
Our family name is Diamantova.

470
00:33:22,935 --> 00:33:24,227
Oh, thank you.

471
00:33:26,143 --> 00:33:27,143
That's Vera.

472
00:33:28,018 --> 00:33:29,894
Eva.

473
00:33:29,894 --> 00:33:30,977
Honza, Tommy.

474
00:33:33,269 --> 00:33:35,937
Oh, what happened here?

475
00:33:35,937 --> 00:33:39,687
She fell. Skiing.
She loves the mountains.

476
00:33:39,687 --> 00:33:41,979
Oh. You like...
You like skiing?

477
00:33:41,979 --> 00:33:43,479
I love skiing.

478
00:33:49,563 --> 00:33:51,939
Skiing
and swimming.

479
00:33:51,939 --> 00:33:54,689
And swimming? Me too.

480
00:33:56,856 --> 00:33:58,648
- Morning, Rudi.
- Morning.

481
00:33:58,648 --> 00:34:00,148
Would you mind putting a call
through to this number for me?

482
00:34:00,148 --> 00:34:02,148
- Of course. Give me a moment.
- Thank you.

483
00:34:02,148 --> 00:34:04,857
And Mr Winton,
you have a telegram.

484
00:34:04,857 --> 00:34:06,358
Oh. Thank you.

485
00:34:20,902 --> 00:34:22,693
Mr Winton, your call.

486
00:34:22,693 --> 00:34:25,319
Cabin number two.

487
00:34:25,319 --> 00:34:27,277
<i>Nicky,
you will not believe</i>

488
00:34:27,277 --> 00:34:29,903
<i>- what they are asking for.</i>
- All right, I'm ready.

489
00:34:29,903 --> 00:34:33,153
<i>A separate visa application
for each child.</i>

490
00:34:33,153 --> 00:34:36,112
An individual sponsor
who must promise to pay

491
00:34:36,112 --> 00:34:38,820
<i>for all the child's needs.</i>

492
00:34:38,820 --> 00:34:43,905
And a fee of 50 pounds to pay
for their eventual return.

493
00:34:43,905 --> 00:34:45,531
- Fifty pounds?
<i>- Yes, I know.</i>

494
00:34:45,531 --> 00:34:46,614
Wait, there's more.

495
00:34:47,864 --> 00:34:49,656
A medical certificate,

496
00:34:49,656 --> 00:34:52,864
uh, and a foster parent
to care for the child

497
00:34:52,864 --> 00:34:54,490
till the age of 17

498
00:34:54,490 --> 00:34:57,199
or until they are able
to return home.

499
00:34:57,199 --> 00:34:58,574
Christ, Nicky!

500
00:34:58,574 --> 00:34:59,658
Yeah.

501
00:35:01,157 --> 00:35:02,658
Nicky?

502
00:35:03,741 --> 00:35:05,617
Mr Slonek. Hello.

503
00:35:05,617 --> 00:35:08,200
Hello, hello. Uh...

504
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,034
I have changed my mind.

505
00:35:10,034 --> 00:35:12,076
Here are, uh, photos,

506
00:35:12,076 --> 00:35:15,576
I believe now
you will help them?

507
00:35:19,661 --> 00:35:21,827
Jan. Petr.

508
00:35:23,245 --> 00:35:25,578
- And... Karel. Karel.
Karel.

509
00:35:26,537 --> 00:35:29,620
When will they go... please?

510
00:35:31,828 --> 00:35:33,120
What did I miss?

511
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:34,829
Nicky was just saying
we have to assume

512
00:35:34,829 --> 00:35:36,579
that this is happening.

513
00:35:36,579 --> 00:35:37,871
Yeah.

514
00:35:37,871 --> 00:35:39,747
We are moving the children.

515
00:35:39,747 --> 00:35:41,539
In big groups. By train.

516
00:35:41,539 --> 00:35:42,705
That's a two-day trip,

517
00:35:42,705 --> 00:35:44,122
which would mean
crossing Holland

518
00:35:44,122 --> 00:35:45,665
and the Dutch have shut
their borders

519
00:35:45,665 --> 00:35:46,790
to Jewish refugees.

520
00:35:46,790 --> 00:35:49,082
And they'd have
to cross Germany.

521
00:35:49,082 --> 00:35:50,706
Yes, but they'd only
be passing through

522
00:35:50,706 --> 00:35:52,082
and on British visas.

523
00:35:52,082 --> 00:35:54,041
With British
foster parents waiting.

524
00:35:54,041 --> 00:35:55,541
Well, that is, if you can find
British foster parents.

525
00:35:55,541 --> 00:35:59,250
There are a thousand children
on that list.

526
00:35:59,250 --> 00:36:02,251
The welcome may not be as warm
as you're all imagining.

527
00:36:02,251 --> 00:36:04,917
Then we have
to heat things up.

528
00:36:04,917 --> 00:36:07,001
We have to get
the press working.

529
00:36:07,001 --> 00:36:09,918
Get them moving
and on our side.

530
00:36:09,918 --> 00:36:12,293
Ordinary people
wouldn't stand for this

531
00:36:12,293 --> 00:36:15,919
if they knew what
was actually happening.

532
00:36:15,919 --> 00:36:18,378
You've a lot of faith
in ordinary people.

533
00:36:20,044 --> 00:36:23,962
I do because
I'm an ordinary person.

534
00:36:23,962 --> 00:36:25,045
So am I.

535
00:36:26,212 --> 00:36:28,088
And me.

536
00:36:28,088 --> 00:36:30,129
Well, there you go.

537
00:36:30,129 --> 00:36:31,796
That's just what we need,
isn't it?

538
00:36:32,797 --> 00:36:35,256
An army of the ordinary.

539
00:36:35,256 --> 00:36:39,381
Nicky, you should go back
to London, raise funds.

540
00:36:40,005 --> 00:36:41,173
Raise a stink.

541
00:36:41,173 --> 00:36:43,298
I can do that. No problem.

542
00:36:43,298 --> 00:36:44,756
What about your job
in the bank?

543
00:36:44,756 --> 00:36:46,882
Well, stock market closes
at half past three.

544
00:36:46,882 --> 00:36:49,299
And I'll take care
of this end.

545
00:36:49,299 --> 00:36:51,132
- With Hana's help?
- Of course.

546
00:36:51,132 --> 00:36:52,883
Oh, God.

547
00:36:52,883 --> 00:36:54,841
We're actually doing this,
aren't we?

548
00:36:56,925 --> 00:36:59,342
Here's to the children's
section of the BCRC.

549
00:36:59,342 --> 00:37:01,342
There isn't one.
- There is now.

550
00:37:02,509 --> 00:37:03,759
All those in favour.

551
00:37:09,927 --> 00:37:12,344
Nicky, if I may.

552
00:37:12,344 --> 00:37:14,594
What are you doing?
Excuse me.

553
00:37:14,594 --> 00:37:16,636
My God.

554
00:37:16,636 --> 00:37:18,804
- Those your socks?

555
00:37:18,804 --> 00:37:19,887
Look,
you'll need something

556
00:37:19,887 --> 00:37:21,096
for all that paperwork.

557
00:37:22,595 --> 00:37:23,845
Thank you.

558
00:37:41,306 --> 00:37:43,682
<i>To</i> The Times'
<i>letter section.</i>

559
00:37:43,682 --> 00:37:47,100
<i>Dear sir, I have just returned
from Prague,</i>

560
00:37:47,100 --> 00:37:49,225
where I was assessing the fate

561
00:37:49,225 --> 00:37:51,850
of refugees in the city.

562
00:37:51,850 --> 00:37:54,934
<i>Among the many
unfortunate souls,</i>

563
00:37:54,934 --> 00:37:57,518
<i>I found about 2,000 children</i>

564
00:37:58,434 --> 00:38:00,184
living in damp,

565
00:38:01,685 --> 00:38:03,227
overcrowded camps.

566
00:38:03,227 --> 00:38:06,143
Overcrowded, insanitary camps.

567
00:38:06,143 --> 00:38:08,061
- Yes, true.

568
00:38:08,061 --> 00:38:09,769
In one of the camps,

569
00:38:09,769 --> 00:38:12,228
several have already
succumbed to disease.

570
00:38:13,645 --> 00:38:17,437
<i>I saw a mother cradling
her dead child.</i>

571
00:38:17,437 --> 00:38:19,854
<i>The thousands struggling
to survive</i>

572
00:38:19,854 --> 00:38:22,771
<i>find themselves facing
the threat of Nazi invasion</i>

573
00:38:22,771 --> 00:38:25,522
<i>and the horrors
that will bring.</i>

574
00:38:25,522 --> 00:38:28,605
<i>We are working to evacuate
these children by train</i>

575
00:38:28,605 --> 00:38:32,815
<i>to safety in Britain

576
00:38:32,815 --> 00:38:37,940
<i>Will people please help with
donations or foster homes?</i>

577
00:38:37,940 --> 00:38:41,316

The wanderer returns!

582
00:38:52,484 --> 00:38:54,693
Crikey, Nicky,
Hart's been apoplectic.

583
00:38:54,693 --> 00:38:56,068
Oh, well.

584
00:38:56,068 --> 00:38:57,402
There goes your bonus.

585
00:39:11,821 --> 00:39:12,821
Mother.

586
00:39:13,696 --> 00:39:15,529
Sorry. Thank you.

587
00:39:21,530 --> 00:39:23,239
I've seen your letter
in the press.

588
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,447
Well, then you understand
the urgency.

589
00:39:26,864 --> 00:39:28,115
The process...

590
00:39:28,115 --> 00:39:30,407
Our first group
consists of 20 children

591
00:39:30,407 --> 00:39:32,115
who are in the most dire need.

592
00:39:32,115 --> 00:39:34,782
They will arrive by train
into Liverpool Street Station

593
00:39:34,782 --> 00:39:36,616
in two weeks' time.

594
00:39:39,116 --> 00:39:43,075
Yes, two weeks, a fortnight.

595
00:39:43,075 --> 00:39:46,076
Which is why we're
asking for your help to...

596
00:39:46,076 --> 00:39:47,450
to accelerate the process.

597
00:39:47,450 --> 00:39:49,660
Applications are dealt
with in turn.

598
00:39:49,660 --> 00:39:50,993
The process takes time.

599
00:39:50,993 --> 00:39:52,577
We don't have time.

600
00:39:52,577 --> 00:39:55,077
The German army could
cross the border any day.

601
00:39:58,369 --> 00:40:00,661
Mr Leadbetter...

602
00:40:00,661 --> 00:40:04,078
these are your children, yes?

603
00:40:04,078 --> 00:40:05,453
- They are.
- There are families

604
00:40:05,453 --> 00:40:09,121
just like this,
just like yours,

605
00:40:09,121 --> 00:40:12,288
living in conditions
you cannot imagine.

606
00:40:12,288 --> 00:40:14,289
The threat of war
hangs over them.

607
00:40:14,289 --> 00:40:16,706
What they have done for you

608
00:40:16,706 --> 00:40:20,164
is to stand
against Nazi expansionism.

609
00:40:20,164 --> 00:40:22,373
All they ask, in return,

610
00:40:22,373 --> 00:40:25,456
is a temporary refuge
for their children.

611
00:40:25,456 --> 00:40:29,249
From whatever horror
is yet to come.

612
00:40:29,249 --> 00:40:32,083
Isn't that the least
this country should offer?

613
00:40:36,417 --> 00:40:38,083
Provided your paperwork
is in order.

614
00:40:38,083 --> 00:40:39,417
It is in perfect order.

615
00:40:41,001 --> 00:40:42,585
Then I'll do my best.

616
00:40:42,585 --> 00:40:46,418
Two weeks, where are we going
to find the money?

617
00:40:47,335 --> 00:40:48,335
We'll find it.

618
00:40:48,335 --> 00:40:50,919
In two weeks?

619
00:40:50,919 --> 00:40:54,211
- And the foster families?
- I know. We'll do it.

620
00:40:54,211 --> 00:40:56,670
Olga Santer...
Santer, yes.

621
00:40:56,670 --> 00:41:00,129
... and Petr Slonek.
Slonek, Petr, yes.

622
00:41:04,963 --> 00:41:07,130
Right. It's a start.

623
00:41:19,381 --> 00:41:22,048
<i>Jan Slonek, number 174.</i>

624
00:41:23,048 --> 00:41:25,549
Petr Slonek, 144.

625
00:41:28,757 --> 00:41:29,966
<i>Rosa Lenart,</i>

626
00:41:30,758 --> 00:41:33,800
number 529.

627
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,050
Good.
Tommy Katschinsky,

628
00:41:36,050 --> 00:41:39,051
number nine.
Michael Lappert, 46.

629
00:41:39,051 --> 00:41:41,676
- Landesmann, 19.
Next.

630
00:41:41,676 --> 00:41:43,343
<i>Jacob...</i>

631
00:41:43,343 --> 00:41:46,261
<i>...number twenty-four.</i>

632
00:41:49,177 --> 00:41:51,511
<i>I have a family
from Shropshire</i>

633
00:41:51,511 --> 00:41:55,053
<i>that will take a girl,
8 to 11 years,</i>

634
00:41:55,053 --> 00:41:57,220
<i>and Mr and Mrs Horrell</i>

635
00:41:57,220 --> 00:41:59,929
that will take a boy,
just one,

636
00:41:59,929 --> 00:42:03,346
but ideally under eight
and brown haired.

637
00:42:03,346 --> 00:42:05,179
There you go.

638
00:42:08,930 --> 00:42:10,723
Martin.

639
00:42:10,723 --> 00:42:12,514
So sorry I wasn't
with you in Prague.

640
00:42:12,514 --> 00:42:13,889
Not at all.

641
00:42:13,889 --> 00:42:16,807
Anyway, I'm here now.
What can I do?

642
00:42:16,807 --> 00:42:19,640
Well, we've got, uh,
20 children ready to travel

643
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,224
and only eight foster homes.

644
00:42:21,224 --> 00:42:23,308
There's plenty of people
who'd gladly take a child,

645
00:42:23,308 --> 00:42:25,017
but they can't raise
the 50 pounds guarantee.

646
00:42:25,017 --> 00:42:29,559
So, that's what we need
most right now. It's money.

647
00:42:29,559 --> 00:42:30,809
Let me make some calls.

648
00:42:31,517 --> 00:42:32,517
Phone?

649
00:42:32,517 --> 00:42:34,518
Come with me. Coffee?

650
00:42:34,518 --> 00:42:36,976
Nicky, five pounds!

651
00:42:36,976 --> 00:42:41,227
Five pounds, 20 pounds from
the Girl Guides and then...

652
00:42:41,227 --> 00:42:43,728
That's 100 in one day!

653
00:42:43,728 --> 00:42:47,186
<i>And then</i> Picture Post <i>has
raised 90 pounds.</i>

654
00:43:08,481 --> 00:43:10,690
Ready?
We've foster families

655
00:43:10,690 --> 00:43:14,024
for, uh, Marlia Keller,

656
00:43:14,024 --> 00:43:17,774
<i>- uh, Kristina Novotka...</i>
Mm-hmm.

657
00:43:17,774 --> 00:43:20,691
- ...the Blaufrank twins.
- <i>Yes.</i>

658
00:43:20,691 --> 00:43:23,275
<i>And Jan
and Petr Slonek.</i>

659
00:43:23,275 --> 00:43:25,400
And their brother?

660
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,234
No. No one would
take all three.

661
00:43:27,900 --> 00:43:28,900
Goodness.

662
00:43:28,900 --> 00:43:31,276
Tell them
it won't be long now.

663
00:43:31,276 --> 00:43:33,693
- We'll be moving them soon.
<i>- Nicky,</i>

664
00:43:33,693 --> 00:43:35,402
it's getting harder here.

665
00:43:35,402 --> 00:43:38,236
Two more people from Doreen's
list have disappeared.

666
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:41,737
<i>I don't know
how long we've got.</i>

667
00:44:48,079 --> 00:44:50,246
Come on, then.
Good lads.

668
00:44:50,246 --> 00:44:53,039
There you go, good lads.

669
00:44:54,372 --> 00:44:55,372
All right.

670
00:45:36,754 --> 00:45:38,420
Thank God you're here.
I was worried.

671
00:45:38,420 --> 00:45:39,504
I'm so sorry.

672
00:45:41,254 --> 00:45:42,796
All right,
all right, all right.

673
00:45:44,921 --> 00:45:47,756
Petr Slonek.
- Slonek. Petr and Jan.

674
00:45:47,756 --> 00:45:49,213
174.

675
00:45:49,213 --> 00:45:50,797
Thank you.

144.
144.

677
00:45:52,256 --> 00:45:54,256
So, that's only one
we're missing, now.

678
00:45:54,256 --> 00:45:56,340
- Check them all.

679
00:45:56,340 --> 00:45:57,423
This is our train.

680
00:46:03,341 --> 00:46:04,507

00:46:14,843 --> 00:46:17,468
Come on, come on, let's go.

684
00:46:17,468 --> 00:46:19,968
Okay. Okay.

685
00:46:21,177 --> 00:46:22,927

Yes.

00:48:47,824 --> 00:48:50,783
Jan and Petr Slonek.

709
00:48:50,783 --> 00:48:52,450
- Lovely to meet you.
- Petr?

710
00:48:52,450 --> 00:48:54,241
- We'll look after you.
- Hello.

711
00:48:54,241 --> 00:48:55,325
Frank.
Come on, boys,

712
00:48:55,325 --> 00:48:56,242
- let's get you home.
- Thank you.

713
00:48:56,242 --> 00:48:58,576
Mr and Mrs Harland?

714
00:49:00,368 --> 00:49:01,951
Harland?

715
00:51:03,053 --> 00:51:04,553
Hi, Nicky.

716
00:51:04,553 --> 00:51:05,679
Oh, hello, Geoff.

717
00:51:05,679 --> 00:51:07,012
You wanna come through?

718
00:51:07,012 --> 00:51:08,470
Yes, thank you.

719
00:51:08,470 --> 00:51:09,762
All right?

720
00:51:09,762 --> 00:51:12,179
Yes, of course I am.

721
00:51:12,179 --> 00:51:13,846
You don't have to look
so nervous.

722
00:51:14,596 --> 00:51:15,721
I can't help it.

723
00:51:15,721 --> 00:51:17,013
Whenever I see you comin',

724
00:51:17,013 --> 00:51:18,514
I know it's gonna
cost me a fortune.

725
00:51:18,514 --> 00:51:20,097
Oh, all in a good cause.

726
00:51:24,098 --> 00:51:26,306
So, which is it this time?

727
00:51:26,306 --> 00:51:29,057
Samaritans? MENCAP?
Abbeyfield?

728
00:51:30,557 --> 00:51:34,516
Oh, something new.
Or rather, old.

729
00:51:34,516 --> 00:51:35,766
Take a seat, Nicky.

730
00:51:35,766 --> 00:51:38,058
Yes. Thank you.

731
00:51:44,768 --> 00:51:50,560
It's about, uh, documents
from the Second World War

732
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,435
- rather relevant for today.
- The war?

733
00:51:53,435 --> 00:51:56,144
- Yes.
- Oh, it's exciting.

734
00:51:56,144 --> 00:52:00,478
It's the, uh, 50th anniversary
of the outbreak coming up.

735
00:52:00,478 --> 00:52:01,937
Yes, I suppose it must be.

736
00:52:01,937 --> 00:52:04,187
Yeah, we're planning
a series of special editions.

737
00:52:04,187 --> 00:52:05,479
- Oh.
- Where did you serve?

738
00:52:05,479 --> 00:52:07,105
Army, Navy?

739
00:52:07,105 --> 00:52:09,438
Oh, well, that's neither
here nor there, is it?

740
00:52:09,438 --> 00:52:10,979
Yeah, I bet you got
some stories.

741
00:52:12,188 --> 00:52:14,022
It's really not about me.

742
00:52:14,022 --> 00:52:16,564
It's actually very important.
It's, uh,

743
00:52:17,648 --> 00:52:19,314
about refugees.

744
00:52:20,940 --> 00:52:22,023
Refugees?

745
00:52:22,981 --> 00:52:23,981
Yeah.

746
00:52:25,482 --> 00:52:27,607
I'm not really seeing

747
00:52:27,607 --> 00:52:30,149
the Maidenhead angle
in refugees.

748
00:52:38,609 --> 00:52:41,026
<i>We wanna be famous</i>

749
00:52:41,026 --> 00:52:43,485
<i>We wanna be on TV</i>

750
00:52:43,485 --> 00:52:46,027
<i>Famous, famous
Famous, famous</i>

751
00:53:24,741 --> 00:53:26,991
<i>Hello?</i>
- Hello.

752
00:53:26,991 --> 00:53:28,491
Guess who this is?

753
00:53:28,491 --> 00:53:30,492
- Oh, good afternoon.
Good afternoon.

754
00:53:30,492 --> 00:53:32,117
I'm meeting Mr Martin Blake.

755
00:53:32,951 --> 00:53:34,076
Thank you.

756
00:53:34,076 --> 00:53:36,118
- Oh, certainly.
- Thank you.

757
00:53:36,118 --> 00:53:37,284
If you'd like to follow me?

758
00:53:37,284 --> 00:53:38,535
Yes. Thank you.

759
00:53:54,495 --> 00:53:57,246
Hello, Martin. Thank you.
How are you?

760
00:53:57,246 --> 00:53:58,621
- Nicky.
- Good to see you.

761
00:53:58,621 --> 00:54:00,746
So, you're footloose

762
00:54:00,746 --> 00:54:02,122
for a couple of days?

763
00:54:02,122 --> 00:54:03,497
Yes. Looks like it,
doesn't it?

764
00:54:03,497 --> 00:54:04,997
Time to catch up.
I'm glad.

765
00:54:04,997 --> 00:54:06,706
Yeah, it's not much time,
I'm afraid,

766
00:54:06,706 --> 00:54:10,081
because, um, I've been given
my to-do list, you know?

767
00:54:10,081 --> 00:54:11,957
Grete's reorganising
everything

768
00:54:11,957 --> 00:54:13,873
- before the baby arrives.
- Oh, yes!

769
00:54:13,873 --> 00:54:15,748
A grandfather. You excited?

770
00:54:15,748 --> 00:54:18,082
- No, I'm bloody terrified.
Why?

771
00:54:18,082 --> 00:54:20,041
- I don't know.
- It'll be fun, I'm sure.

772
00:54:20,041 --> 00:54:22,125
Oh, really? If you say so.

773
00:54:22,125 --> 00:54:25,333
Uh, anyway, at the moment,
we're just, um,

774
00:54:25,333 --> 00:54:27,126
throwing out a lot of old
stuff, you know? And, uh...

775
00:54:27,126 --> 00:54:29,626
- Piles up.
- Yes, it does. Yeah.

776
00:54:29,626 --> 00:54:30,793
You have to be ruthless.

777
00:54:30,793 --> 00:54:32,793
- I know.
- Yeah. Box files and,

778
00:54:32,793 --> 00:54:34,584
uh, records of all the old
charity work, you know?

779
00:54:34,584 --> 00:54:36,210
You've always been so busy.

780
00:54:36,210 --> 00:54:37,711
Oh, yeah.

781
00:54:37,711 --> 00:54:39,961
Do you still volunteer
with the Samaritans?

782
00:54:39,961 --> 00:54:41,253
No, no. They kicked me out.

783
00:54:41,253 --> 00:54:43,128
What?
What on earth for?

784
00:54:43,128 --> 00:54:46,420
A woman, uh, phoned
in and told me she was, um...

785
00:54:46,420 --> 00:54:48,087
planning on killing herself.

786
00:54:48,087 --> 00:54:49,671
I said, "Oh, dear me,
there must be something else

787
00:54:49,671 --> 00:54:50,962
-"you'd rather be doing."
You didn't.

788
00:54:50,962 --> 00:54:52,212
Yes, I did.

789
00:54:52,212 --> 00:54:54,255
She told me
that she wanted to visit

790
00:54:54,255 --> 00:54:55,963
her daughter in America.

791
00:54:55,963 --> 00:54:57,839
But her doctor warned her
that the journey

792
00:54:57,839 --> 00:54:59,505
would probably kill her.

793
00:54:59,505 --> 00:55:01,005
I said, "Well, that's exactly
what you want, isn't it?

794
00:55:01,005 --> 00:55:02,131
-"To be killed?"

795
00:55:02,131 --> 00:55:04,214
Yeah, well,
she had a good laugh.

796
00:55:04,214 --> 00:55:05,715
We both had a good laugh.

797
00:55:05,715 --> 00:55:07,548
She went off to America.
She saw her daughter.

798
00:55:07,548 --> 00:55:08,715
Had a wonderful time.
Came back,

799
00:55:08,715 --> 00:55:10,090
- was happy as a lark.
- Oh.

800
00:55:10,090 --> 00:55:12,757
But, uh, ooh, the Samaritans.
Oh, God bless them.

801
00:55:12,757 --> 00:55:14,007
They gave me
a real bollocking,

802
00:55:14,007 --> 00:55:15,341
pardon my French,

803
00:55:15,341 --> 00:55:17,133
and, uh, told me
I'd broken all the rules.

804
00:55:17,133 --> 00:55:19,092
Well, you know, I couldn't
just sit there, could I?

805
00:55:19,092 --> 00:55:21,509
I mean, you're listening
to a bunch of lonely people

806
00:55:21,509 --> 00:55:23,259
when there was something
I could actually say

807
00:55:23,259 --> 00:55:24,467
to help cheer them up.

808
00:55:26,843 --> 00:55:28,510
You might wanna
slow down anyway.

809
00:55:28,510 --> 00:55:30,969
What, with the baby coming.

810
00:55:30,969 --> 00:55:32,385
Why would I want to slow down?

811
00:55:32,385 --> 00:55:33,552
Oh, to enjoy it.

812
00:55:33,552 --> 00:55:35,261
You've done enough.

813
00:55:35,261 --> 00:55:36,803
No. It's never enough, is it?

814
00:55:38,886 --> 00:55:40,678
Did you, uh, need more time
with the wine list?

815
00:55:40,678 --> 00:55:41,928
Oh, yes, um...

816
00:55:43,595 --> 00:55:44,887
They have nice <i>Château Neuf.</i>

817
00:55:49,012 --> 00:55:50,513
We'll have the <i>Chablis.</i>

818
00:55:50,513 --> 00:55:51,930
- Oh, dear.
Thank you.

819
00:55:53,305 --> 00:55:55,013
Where were we, now? Oh, yes.

820
00:55:55,013 --> 00:55:57,931
When I was clearing out
all the papers,

821
00:55:57,931 --> 00:56:00,848
I came across that old, uh,
scrapbook from Prague.

822
00:56:00,848 --> 00:56:02,014
- Do you remember that?
- I do.

823
00:56:02,014 --> 00:56:04,014
Yes, you're not throwing
that out.

824
00:56:04,014 --> 00:56:05,473
No, I think it could be quite

825
00:56:05,473 --> 00:56:07,182
an important little record,
in its way.

826
00:56:07,182 --> 00:56:09,683
You know, full of history
we should learn from.

827
00:56:09,683 --> 00:56:11,599
- It is.
- Yeah.

828
00:56:13,975 --> 00:56:15,726
Look, maybe the, um,

829
00:56:15,726 --> 00:56:19,017
the Wiener archive
might like it. In London.

830
00:56:19,017 --> 00:56:20,642
Yeah?

831
00:56:20,642 --> 00:56:23,226
I know people on the board,
I could mention it.

832
00:56:23,226 --> 00:56:26,310
Yeah, well, it'll probably
just gather dust there.

833
00:56:26,310 --> 00:56:28,477
I mean, I tried showing it
to the Editor

834
00:56:28,477 --> 00:56:30,477
of the Maidenhead newspaper,
what's it called?

835
00:56:30,477 --> 00:56:33,186
<i>The Advertiser</i> or something.

836
00:56:33,186 --> 00:56:35,853
And, um, it's funny because
when I told him

837
00:56:35,853 --> 00:56:37,562
about the refugees, he said,

838
00:56:37,562 --> 00:56:39,395
"I don't quite get
the Maidenhead angle."

839
00:56:40,770 --> 00:56:42,271
So, uh, he's a bit
of a twit, really.

840
00:56:42,271 --> 00:56:44,604
Well, you might like
to donate it to a museum.

841
00:56:44,604 --> 00:56:46,771
In Prague? Or in Israel?

842
00:56:46,771 --> 00:56:48,355
Most of the children
were Jewish, after all.

843
00:56:48,938 --> 00:56:50,021
Prague.

844
00:56:52,689 --> 00:56:55,273
Well... Yeah.

845
00:56:56,314 --> 00:56:57,356
Tell me something...

846
00:56:59,857 --> 00:57:01,274
Do you ever think
about the children

847
00:57:01,274 --> 00:57:02,774
and what happened to them?

848
00:57:02,774 --> 00:57:05,024
Yes, yes, I do.
From time to time.

849
00:57:05,024 --> 00:57:06,191
Do you?

850
00:57:07,941 --> 00:57:09,525
No, not really.

851
00:57:09,525 --> 00:57:12,151
Well, maybe a little, recently.

852
00:57:12,151 --> 00:57:15,735
It is incredible.
What you achieved.

853
00:57:15,735 --> 00:57:17,067
Oh, I don't think
of it that way.

854
00:57:17,067 --> 00:57:18,443
No, no, no, no,
I mean it.

855
00:57:19,277 --> 00:57:21,110
Truly.

856
00:57:21,110 --> 00:57:22,569
I mean, you should be proud.

857
00:57:22,569 --> 00:57:24,610
- Well.
- Save one life,

858
00:57:24,610 --> 00:57:27,319
save the world. You know?

859
00:57:27,319 --> 00:57:29,820
Well, it's nothing
to brag about.

860
00:57:29,820 --> 00:57:31,862
I mean, look at Doreen
and, uh, Trevor.

861
00:57:31,862 --> 00:57:33,237
They did far more than I did

862
00:57:33,237 --> 00:57:34,487
and they took all the risks.

863
00:57:34,487 --> 00:57:37,029
And they actually stayed
in Prague.

864
00:57:37,029 --> 00:57:40,696
You know, Nicky,
telling people isn't bragging.

865
00:57:42,447 --> 00:57:44,321
No.

866
00:58:17,368 --> 00:58:19,244
Hampstead, 7946.

867
00:58:19,244 --> 00:58:21,494
The Germans crossed
the frontier this morning.

868
00:58:21,494 --> 00:58:22,578
<i>They've already taken over</i>

869
00:58:22,578 --> 00:58:24,120
<i>- the ministry.</i>
- Oh, God.

870
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:27,245
Hitler's motorcade
just went past the hotel.

871
00:58:27,245 --> 00:58:28,579
He was waving.

872
00:58:40,539 --> 00:58:44,039
What does
this mean? For us?

873
00:58:44,039 --> 00:58:47,998
I have to go. We need
to check safe houses.

874
00:58:47,998 --> 00:58:49,999
- Just be careful.

875
00:58:49,999 --> 00:58:52,707
Doreen? Doree...

876
00:59:01,208 --> 00:59:03,459
It's not safe for them here.
Please, get them home.

877
00:59:05,542 --> 00:59:07,460
Just make sure all the lists
are locked up.

878
00:59:36,213 --> 00:59:38,047
<i>Downing Street has advised</i>

879
00:59:38,047 --> 00:59:41,214
<i>that this development does not
mean that Germany is at war.</i>

880
00:59:41,214 --> 00:59:42,923
<i>The Germans are understood
to have taken</i>

881
00:59:42,923 --> 00:59:45,798
<i>an administrative position
in Czechoslovakia,</i>

882
00:59:45,798 --> 00:59:48,174
<i>replacing the government
in Prague.</i>

883
00:59:48,174 --> 00:59:49,299
<i>Flights from Prague...</i>

884
00:59:49,299 --> 00:59:51,008
What happens now?

885
00:59:51,008 --> 00:59:53,508
We work harder.

886
00:59:53,508 --> 00:59:57,050
Instead of standing here
wringing our hands in despair.

887
00:59:57,050 --> 00:59:58,633
We need more trains.

888
00:59:58,633 --> 01:00:00,842
We do whatever it takes
to make that happen.

889
01:00:00,842 --> 01:00:02,676
We find more homes.

890
01:00:02,676 --> 01:00:05,135
We place the children faster.

891
01:00:05,135 --> 01:00:06,843
We're doing as much as we can.

892
01:00:06,843 --> 01:00:08,844
It's not enough, though,
is it?

893
01:00:12,094 --> 01:00:13,886
Look, we cannot...

894
01:00:13,886 --> 01:00:16,970
we cannot let
these people down.

895
01:00:16,970 --> 01:00:19,220
<i>Well, they tell us
the borders are still open.</i>

896
01:00:19,220 --> 01:00:21,721
The thing is now every visa
has to be approved

897
01:00:22,971 --> 01:00:24,596
and stamped by the Gestapo.

898
01:00:24,596 --> 01:00:26,804
<i>The bastards are all over
bloody everything now.</i>

899
01:00:31,264 --> 01:00:32,847
Mr Winton?
Oh, yeah. Oh, hello.

900
01:00:32,847 --> 01:00:34,598
<i>The New Statesman.</i>

901
01:00:34,598 --> 01:00:36,181
Oh, hi.

902
01:00:36,181 --> 01:00:37,848
Uh, shall we speak as we go?

903
01:00:37,848 --> 01:00:39,223
Uh, yes, please.

904
01:00:39,223 --> 01:00:40,474
I don't think
I can recall

905
01:00:40,474 --> 01:00:43,682
ever seeing anything
quite so moving.

906
01:00:43,682 --> 01:00:46,308
How many are there? There must
be, uh, nearly a hundred.

907
01:00:46,308 --> 01:00:48,266
Uh, yes, yes.
Well over a hundred.

908
01:00:48,266 --> 01:00:52,892
Hello. Uh, and this is
our largest transport so far.

909
01:00:52,892 --> 01:00:53,975
<i>And this is
your fourth train.</i>

910
01:00:53,975 --> 01:00:55,350
<i>Are there more planned?</i>

911
01:00:55,350 --> 01:00:56,893
<i>Yes, absolutely.</i>

912
01:00:56,893 --> 01:00:59,226
<i>The fifth train's
only a few weeks away</i>

913
01:00:59,226 --> 01:01:01,143
<i>with more trains
already booked.</i>

914
01:01:01,143 --> 01:01:04,560
<i>The eighth is confirmed,
and the ninth's in preparation</i>

915
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:06,728
<i>and, um, hundreds of children
ready to board,</i>

916
01:01:06,728 --> 01:01:09,186
<i>but there are thousands more
who need our help</i>

917
01:01:09,186 --> 01:01:11,020
<i>all over Czechoslovakia.</i>

918
01:01:11,020 --> 01:01:13,853
<i>And these are children who are
homeless, they're starving.</i>

919
01:01:13,853 --> 01:01:16,562
<i>And we don't know how long
the border will remain open.</i>

920
01:01:16,562 --> 01:01:19,438
<i>So, we do desperately need
donations and foster homes.</i>

921
01:01:27,022 --> 01:01:28,397
- Hello?
<i>Nicky.</i>

922
01:01:28,397 --> 01:01:30,355
Nicky, it's me.

923
01:01:30,355 --> 01:01:32,856
Um, look, we have one or two
missing from the next list.

924
01:01:32,856 --> 01:01:35,231
<i>- </i>  Missing?
<i>Yes, I don't know.</i>

925
01:01:35,231 --> 01:01:39,899
Either they panicked or...
or they were arrested.

926
01:01:39,899 --> 01:01:42,483
Uh, right. Well, um, you'd
better give me their names.

927
01:01:44,983 --> 01:01:46,192
This one, ah.

928
01:01:47,317 --> 01:01:50,067
That's her. Lenka Weiss.

929
01:01:51,901 --> 01:01:53,234
There was a baby, too.

930
01:01:57,235 --> 01:01:58,235
Damn.

931
01:02:01,778 --> 01:02:03,944
Nicky,

932
01:02:03,944 --> 01:02:07,487
you must know we cannot
save them all.

933
01:02:07,487 --> 01:02:09,653
You have to forgive
yourself that.

934
01:02:37,366 --> 01:02:39,700
If you want Leadbetter,
he's on his hols.

935
01:02:39,700 --> 01:02:41,992
Week in Eastbourne,
shame about the rain.

936
01:02:41,992 --> 01:02:43,992
Look, I urgently
need three visas

937
01:02:43,992 --> 01:02:45,950
for a transport
leaving Prague next week.

938
01:02:45,950 --> 01:02:48,659
Sorry. Can't help you there.

939
01:02:53,827 --> 01:02:55,202
- Trevor.
- Is everything all right?

940
01:02:55,202 --> 01:02:58,369
Listen,
we're three visas short,

941
01:02:58,369 --> 01:03:03,120
Isabel Keller and Eva
and Vera Diamantova.

942
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:05,537
<i>Is there anything you can do?</i>

943
01:03:18,331 --> 01:03:21,040
I don't know
what you're doing.

944
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:23,207
But if you're doing
what I think you're doing,

945
01:03:24,123 --> 01:03:25,749
I don't want to know.

946
01:03:29,332 --> 01:03:30,999
Train leaves at eight.

947
01:04:07,129 --> 01:04:08,505
Where is he?
- I don't know.

948
01:04:08,505 --> 01:04:09,713
He should have
been here an hour ago.

949
01:04:20,799 --> 01:04:22,632
- Do you have them?
- Yes.

950
01:04:22,632 --> 01:04:24,965
We have them.

951
01:05:44,269 --> 01:05:45,728
- They've left Prague.

952
01:06:30,485 --> 01:06:32,235
Yes.

953
01:06:53,613 --> 01:06:55,738
Why does England
want all these Jews?

954
01:07:14,449 --> 01:07:17,575
Miss Howson
from Putney, please.

955
01:07:18,492 --> 01:07:21,867
Diamantova, Eva.

956
01:07:21,867 --> 01:07:24,743
Um, along here, please.
Uh, yes, sir.

957
01:07:24,743 --> 01:07:27,077
Thank you, Mrs MacFarlane.

958
01:07:27,077 --> 01:07:28,452
Mrs MacFarlane?

959
01:07:28,452 --> 01:07:29,536
Hello.

960
01:07:31,035 --> 01:07:33,786
Thank you.
There they are.

961
01:07:33,786 --> 01:07:36,370
Thank you.
Uh, Diamantova, Vera.

962
01:07:36,370 --> 01:07:38,537
Lovely to meet you.

963
01:07:38,537 --> 01:07:40,620
Mrs Rainford.

964
01:07:40,620 --> 01:07:43,204
Yes.
Sorry, excuse me.

965
01:07:44,329 --> 01:07:45,329
Hello, dear.

966
01:07:46,663 --> 01:07:47,663
- Hello.
Thank you.

967
01:07:50,580 --> 01:07:51,580
Come along.

968
01:07:54,872 --> 01:07:56,122
Are you hungry?

969
01:07:56,122 --> 01:07:57,665
Someone needs
to tell these people

970
01:07:57,665 --> 01:07:59,040
that they've only got
the children temporarily.

971
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:03,165
They've all got families
to return to.

972
01:08:03,165 --> 01:08:04,916
Our most urgent cases yet.

973
01:08:04,916 --> 01:08:07,041
They're booked on a train,
the ninth train,

974
01:08:07,041 --> 01:08:08,416
in three days' time.

975
01:08:08,416 --> 01:08:09,916
Please, Leadbetter.

976
01:08:18,334 --> 01:08:20,417
We'll do it. Of course.

977
01:08:21,377 --> 01:08:22,377
Thank you.

978
01:08:47,713 --> 01:08:48,755
Hello?

979
01:08:59,590 --> 01:09:01,383
<i>Today's main event.</i>

980
01:09:01,383 --> 01:09:06,424
<i>Germany has invaded Poland
and has bombed many towns.</i>

981
01:09:06,424 --> 01:09:10,801
<i>General mobilisation has been
ordered in Britain and France.</i>

982
01:09:10,801 --> 01:09:14,426
<i>Parliament was summoned
for six o'clock this evening.</i>

983
01:09:14,426 --> 01:09:17,385
<i>The mobilisation of the navy,
army and the air force...</i>

984
01:09:17,385 --> 01:09:20,718
Winton,
where're you going? Winton?

985
01:09:20,718 --> 01:09:22,302
There's nothing you can do
for them now.

986
01:09:22,302 --> 01:09:23,553
Winton!

987
01:09:34,762 --> 01:09:36,137
Excuse me. Excuse me.

988
01:09:36,137 --> 01:09:37,972
- Excuse me.
Stop pushing.

989
01:09:37,972 --> 01:09:39,304
Look, listen, what's happening
to the international trains?

990
01:09:39,304 --> 01:09:40,805
I don't know
any more than you do.

991
01:09:40,805 --> 01:09:42,597
There's a train due
to leave from Prague.

992
01:09:42,597 --> 01:09:44,889
You need to go
to the station now.

993
01:09:44,889 --> 01:09:46,056
I am staying to help.

994
01:09:46,056 --> 01:09:47,681
No, no.

995
01:09:47,681 --> 01:09:50,932
If they catch you,
I can't protect you. Go, now!

996
01:10:36,397 --> 01:10:37,397
Trevor.

997
01:10:37,397 --> 01:10:38,480
Are you all right?

998
01:10:38,480 --> 01:10:39,814
Yes, I am.

999
01:10:39,814 --> 01:10:41,022
I'm... I'm going
to go back to Doreen.

1000
01:10:41,022 --> 01:10:43,147
- Should I...
- You should leave now.

1001
01:10:43,147 --> 01:10:46,481
You have your papers.
Go with the children.

1002
01:10:46,481 --> 01:10:47,566
See you in London.

1003
01:10:47,566 --> 01:10:48,649
Be careful.

1004
01:10:50,732 --> 01:10:52,566
You too. Bye.

1005
01:11:35,322 --> 01:11:37,197
Hello.
Hello, darling.

1006
01:11:37,197 --> 01:11:39,823
Welcome back.

1007
01:11:39,823 --> 01:11:41,323
Ah. Mm.

1008
01:11:42,532 --> 01:11:43,824
Here you go.

1009
01:11:50,575 --> 01:11:52,491
Goodness.

1010
01:11:52,491 --> 01:11:53,658
Come and see this.

1011
01:11:54,950 --> 01:11:55,950
Big surprise.

1012
01:12:07,785 --> 01:12:09,286
Well...

1013
01:12:09,286 --> 01:12:12,370
You have got
a lot done.

1014
01:12:12,370 --> 01:12:15,036
Yeah. Do you want
a cup of tea?

1015
01:12:25,705 --> 01:12:27,289
<i>Hello, Mr Winton.</i>

1016
01:12:27,289 --> 01:12:29,122
<i>This is Karl Caplan
at the Weiner Library.</i>

1017
01:12:29,122 --> 01:12:30,455
<i>Uh, Martin Blake</i>

1018
01:12:30,455 --> 01:12:32,081
<i>- gave us your details.</i>
Oh.

1019
01:12:32,081 --> 01:12:33,747
<i>We have a researcher
who we think</i>

1020
01:12:33,747 --> 01:12:35,998
<i>might find your archives
very interesting.</i>

1021
01:12:35,998 --> 01:12:42,374
<i>So, if you can, please call us
back on 01-636-7247.</i>

1022
01:12:42,374 --> 01:12:44,708
<i>We look forward to hearing
from you. Many thanks.</i>

1023
01:12:47,625 --> 01:12:50,667
Um, I just mentioned it
in passing.

1024
01:12:50,667 --> 01:12:53,042
Hmm.
- But, uh,

1025
01:12:53,042 --> 01:12:56,002
Martin, uh,
he got straight onto them.

1026
01:12:57,085 --> 01:13:00,460
And, uh... You know...

1027
01:13:00,460 --> 01:13:03,377
But I don't want it
to go into a library.

1028
01:13:03,377 --> 01:13:04,836
Why not?

1029
01:13:04,836 --> 01:13:07,086
Oh, well, it won't
teach anyone anything

1030
01:13:07,086 --> 01:13:08,378
stuck on the shelf.

1031
01:13:13,212 --> 01:13:14,462
Then call them.

1032
01:13:15,963 --> 01:13:16,963
Talk to them.

1033
01:13:22,755 --> 01:13:25,006
Yes. Well, I'm very grateful.

1034
01:13:25,006 --> 01:13:26,631
<i>Well,
we look forward to seeing you.</i>

1035
01:13:26,631 --> 01:13:27,715
Thank you.

1036
01:13:32,923 --> 01:13:35,299
- Tell me.

1037
01:13:35,299 --> 01:13:38,757
Well, there's this woman who
wants to see the scrapbook.

1038
01:13:38,757 --> 01:13:40,216
She's a historian,

1039
01:13:40,216 --> 01:13:42,758
married to some... a man
from Czechoslovakia.

1040
01:13:42,758 --> 01:13:44,550
His name is Robert Maxwell.

1041
01:13:44,550 --> 01:13:45,925
The newspaper man?

1042
01:13:45,925 --> 01:13:48,593
Yes, that's right and, uh,

1043
01:13:48,593 --> 01:13:51,093
she's running some
kind of a conference

1044
01:13:51,093 --> 01:13:52,843
and she wants to meet me.

1045
01:13:52,843 --> 01:13:55,093
Elizabeth Maxwell,
she calls herself Betty.

1046
01:13:56,343 --> 01:13:58,303
She's French, apparently.

1047
01:14:27,682 --> 01:14:29,016
I'm Nicholas Winton.

1048
01:14:29,016 --> 01:14:30,348
Good afternoon.
We've been expecting you.

1049
01:14:38,142 --> 01:14:40,601
Oh.
Oh, thank you so much

1050
01:14:40,601 --> 01:14:41,934
for coming all this way.

1051
01:14:41,934 --> 01:14:45,809
Here it is. The scrapbook.

1052
01:14:45,809 --> 01:14:49,518
Um, relates back

1053
01:14:49,518 --> 01:14:52,727
to some time I spent in Prague
before the war.

1054
01:14:52,727 --> 01:14:54,102
It's a little heavy,
I'm afraid.

1055
01:14:56,644 --> 01:14:57,728
Yeah.

1056
01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:02,312
Now, a lot of that stuff
is just touristy stuff.

1057
01:15:02,312 --> 01:15:05,104
Postcards and so on
and so forth.

1058
01:15:05,104 --> 01:15:08,062
And, uh... Yes,
there are all... That's it.

1059
01:15:08,062 --> 01:15:09,396
There're some letters

1060
01:15:09,396 --> 01:15:11,938
relating to the transport
of children,

1061
01:15:11,938 --> 01:15:13,897
- uh, to Britain.
- Ah.

1062
01:15:15,564 --> 01:15:17,439
These are
the eight children you saved?

1063
01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:19,732
No, no. It was
a few more than that.

1064
01:15:19,732 --> 01:15:22,106
If you turn the pages,
you can see.

1065
01:15:22,106 --> 01:15:24,815
I sent out those cards, uh
for people to,

1066
01:15:24,815 --> 01:15:26,691
uh, choose, you know?

1067
01:15:26,691 --> 01:15:28,649
And, [chuckles] I must say
it was a bit like, um,

1068
01:15:28,649 --> 01:15:30,275
it was bit like selling
soap powder,

1069
01:15:30,275 --> 01:15:32,025
if you know what I mean.

1070
01:15:32,025 --> 01:15:33,859
I couldn't for the life of me
think how else I could,

1071
01:15:33,859 --> 01:15:36,734
uh, find enough families
to take in so many kids.

1072
01:15:36,734 --> 01:15:38,151
Uh, forgive me
but how many children

1073
01:15:38,151 --> 01:15:39,276
are we speaking about?

1074
01:15:39,276 --> 01:15:43,068
Oh. Uh... [chuckles] 669.

1075
01:15:43,068 --> 01:15:46,193
We successfully placed.

1076
01:15:46,193 --> 01:15:49,402
You... You... You brought
669 children

1077
01:15:49,402 --> 01:15:50,485
from Prague to England?

1078
01:15:50,485 --> 01:15:53,737
Well, I mean
with my colleagues

1079
01:15:53,737 --> 01:15:54,987
Doreen Warriner,

1080
01:15:54,987 --> 01:15:56,987
Trevor Chadwick,
and Hana and um...

1081
01:15:56,987 --> 01:15:59,195
But there were so many other
people involved, you know,

1082
01:15:59,195 --> 01:16:02,071
and my own mother.
She was a great help.

1083
01:16:02,071 --> 01:16:03,529
And I suppose...

1084
01:16:03,529 --> 01:16:05,238
I suppose
I'm the only one left, now.

1085
01:16:05,238 --> 01:16:06,946
At least I think I am.

1086
01:16:08,947 --> 01:16:10,906
Uh, the children
that are crossed out

1087
01:16:10,906 --> 01:16:12,615
are the ones
we found homes for.

1088
01:16:12,615 --> 01:16:15,615
And the faces
that are not crossed out?

1089
01:16:15,615 --> 01:16:17,948
Ah, well, they were
the less fortunate

1090
01:16:17,948 --> 01:16:21,532
and, uh, it was a lottery,
I'm afraid.

1091
01:16:25,824 --> 01:16:27,783
You wrote to the president
of the United States?

1092
01:16:27,783 --> 01:16:30,533
Fat lot of good
he was.

1093
01:16:30,533 --> 01:16:32,867
I never heard back
from him.

1094
01:16:32,867 --> 01:16:35,743
Yeah, it's disappointing,
I must say.

1095
01:16:35,743 --> 01:16:37,826
Oh, yes, now, these, uh...

1096
01:16:37,826 --> 01:16:40,452
Those there are the names
of the children

1097
01:16:40,452 --> 01:16:42,410
and their new addresses.

1098
01:16:44,411 --> 01:16:46,161
Excuse me, Mr Winton.

1099
01:16:46,161 --> 01:16:48,119
This is not exactly
what I was expecting.

1100
01:16:48,119 --> 01:16:49,369
I'm a little taken aback

1101
01:16:49,369 --> 01:16:51,537
at the scale
of your operation.

1102
01:16:51,537 --> 01:16:53,454
Oh. Oh, you know,

1103
01:16:53,454 --> 01:16:56,454
if we'd had
more money, more time

1104
01:16:56,454 --> 01:16:58,455
and more government support

1105
01:16:58,455 --> 01:17:00,538
we could've done a lot more,
I think.

1106
01:17:03,247 --> 01:17:04,289
Blank pages?

1107
01:17:05,456 --> 01:17:09,165
Yeah. That was the last train.

1108
01:17:10,956 --> 01:17:13,040
Something happened
to the last train?

1109
01:17:14,749 --> 01:17:18,374
Yes, it was the ninth train.

1110
01:17:18,374 --> 01:17:24,584
It was our largest group
of 250 children and uh...

1111
01:17:24,584 --> 01:17:27,834
<i>It was the 1st
of September, 1939.</i>

1112
01:17:27,834 --> 01:17:30,126
<i>The same day
that Hitler invaded Poland.</i>

1113
01:17:30,126 --> 01:17:31,834
<i>The very start of the war.</i>

1114
01:18:31,636 --> 01:18:33,135
Hana.

1115
01:18:33,135 --> 01:18:34,802
Trevor!

1116
01:18:34,802 --> 01:18:36,094
Hana!

1117
01:18:36,719 --> 01:18:37,719
Hana!

1118
01:18:43,054 --> 01:18:44,845
That was
the end of that.

1119
01:18:44,845 --> 01:18:46,679
Bloody Hitler,
that's all I can say.

1120
01:18:51,138 --> 01:18:53,889
We had hundreds
of foster families waiting,

1121
01:18:53,889 --> 01:18:55,680
ready to welcome them, but...

1122
01:18:56,348 --> 01:18:57,805
yeah.

1123
01:19:10,974 --> 01:19:11,974
<i>Merci.</i>

1124
01:19:20,643 --> 01:19:21,726
Take milk?

1125
01:19:21,726 --> 01:19:22,809
Uh, no, thank you.

1126
01:19:24,393 --> 01:19:25,518
Thank you.

1127
01:19:27,144 --> 01:19:28,769
That's wonderful. Thank you.

1128
01:19:34,227 --> 01:19:35,228
I'm sorry.

1129
01:19:38,020 --> 01:19:39,395
Must be very difficult for you

1130
01:19:39,395 --> 01:19:41,854
knowing what happened
to those children.

1131
01:19:41,854 --> 01:19:43,646
Well, I don't know
what happened, do I?

1132
01:19:43,646 --> 01:19:45,855
They were taken off the train,

1133
01:19:45,855 --> 01:19:48,022
returned to their families
and...

1134
01:19:49,356 --> 01:19:51,022
that was the end of that.

1135
01:19:52,773 --> 01:19:54,356
Surely, I'm almost certain

1136
01:19:54,356 --> 01:19:56,523
that they perished
in the camps?

1137
01:19:59,398 --> 01:20:00,523
Hmm.

1138
01:20:43,738 --> 01:20:47,948
Well, you may be right about
those children, Mrs Maxwell.

1139
01:20:47,948 --> 01:20:51,740
But I've learned to keep
my imagination in check.

1140
01:20:51,740 --> 01:20:53,490
Uh, so I can still be of use

1141
01:20:53,490 --> 01:20:55,324
and not go raving mad.

1142
01:21:00,991 --> 01:21:02,241
Mr Winton,

1143
01:21:03,783 --> 01:21:06,533
around 15,000 children

1144
01:21:06,533 --> 01:21:10,326
went into concentration camps
in Czechoslovakia

1145
01:21:10,326 --> 01:21:14,409
and, uh, less than 200
of them survived,

1146
01:21:14,409 --> 01:21:19,285
and you saved 669.

1147
01:21:20,036 --> 01:21:21,411
Oh.

1148
01:21:22,702 --> 01:21:24,828
Ah.

1149
01:21:24,828 --> 01:21:27,245
Anyway, I'd best, uh,
I'd better be going

1150
01:21:27,245 --> 01:21:29,828
because my wife is expecting
me and I don't want...

1151
01:21:29,828 --> 01:21:31,746
I don't want to get
into any trouble,

1152
01:21:31,746 --> 01:21:33,205
if you know what I mean.

1153
01:21:33,205 --> 01:21:34,579
I would like very much

1154
01:21:34,579 --> 01:21:36,996
to hold on to your scrapbook,
if I may.

1155
01:21:39,330 --> 01:21:42,456
- Well, all right.
- And...

1156
01:21:42,456 --> 01:21:47,498
with your permission, I would
like to show it to my husband.

1157
01:21:47,498 --> 01:21:51,499
I'm sure he will consider it
a very important story.

1158
01:21:52,457 --> 01:21:56,291
Oh. Well, thank you.

1159
01:21:56,291 --> 01:21:57,625
- Thank you.

1160
01:21:59,166 --> 01:22:00,458
As many
of you will know,

1161
01:22:00,458 --> 01:22:03,417
our group was founded in 1965

1162
01:22:03,417 --> 01:22:05,918
to encourage friendship
between Maidenhead

1163
01:22:05,918 --> 01:22:08,377
and its twin towns
across Europe.

1164
01:22:10,669 --> 01:22:15,086
We were met at the airport
by Maria Bechtler

1165
01:22:15,086 --> 01:22:17,795
and travelled by coach
to Bad Godesberg,

1166
01:22:17,795 --> 01:22:20,128
where we were given a warm...

1167
01:22:21,878 --> 01:22:22,878
All right?

1168
01:22:26,213 --> 01:22:29,254
Where we were given
a warm <i>Willkommen...</i>

1169
01:22:29,254 --> 01:22:31,004
- ...by our hostesses.

1170
01:22:57,300 --> 01:23:00,425
Thank you, darling.
Don't trip, it's heavy.

1171
01:23:00,425 --> 01:23:01,634
Hey, Steve.

1172
01:23:01,634 --> 01:23:02,759
Don't strain yourself,
will you?

1173
01:23:02,759 --> 01:23:04,510
Here. Let me.
- Give me a hand.

1174
01:23:04,510 --> 01:23:05,802
Oh, God.

1175
01:23:05,802 --> 01:23:07,344
I can't get over
all the space, Dad.

1176
01:23:07,344 --> 01:23:09,469
Hey, you could fit in
a playpen in here.

1177
01:23:09,469 --> 01:23:11,010
Oh, no.

1178
01:23:11,010 --> 01:23:13,345
- It looks lovely, doesn't it?

1179
01:23:13,345 --> 01:23:15,512
- Doesn't it?
- Yeah. Doesn't it, Dad?

1180
01:23:15,512 --> 01:23:16,679
- Yes.

1181
01:23:16,679 --> 01:23:17,971
Don't set it on fire.

1182
01:23:17,971 --> 01:23:19,261
Nicky!

1183
01:23:19,261 --> 01:23:20,637
Well, you did last year,
didn't you?

1184
01:23:20,637 --> 01:23:21,887
I did not.
- Yes, you did

1185
01:23:21,887 --> 01:23:22,971
- and the year before that.
- No.

1186
01:23:22,971 --> 01:23:24,179
He loves to tease, doesn't he?

1187
01:23:24,179 --> 01:23:25,596
- Huh?
- Oh, it looks lovely.

1188
01:23:25,596 --> 01:23:28,097
Some of them new, aren't they?

1189
01:23:28,097 --> 01:23:30,180
- Well, merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.

1190
01:23:30,180 --> 01:23:31,138
<i>Merry Christmas.</i>
<i>Cheers.</i>

1191
01:23:45,391 --> 01:23:46,557
It's for you.

1192
01:23:46,557 --> 01:23:47,641
Oh.

1193
01:23:55,809 --> 01:23:57,768
Oh, this is interesting.

1194
01:23:57,768 --> 01:23:59,309
What is it?

1195
01:23:59,309 --> 01:24:01,644
It's from the Editor
of the <i>Sunday Mirror.</i>

1196
01:24:01,644 --> 01:24:04,686
"We would very much like
to publish a major article

1197
01:24:04,686 --> 01:24:07,311
"detailing
the child evacuation."

1198
01:24:07,311 --> 01:24:09,228
But... That's marvellous.

1199
01:24:09,228 --> 01:24:10,937
Oh, yes. It says,

1200
01:24:10,937 --> 01:24:12,937
"With wider publicity in mind,

1201
01:24:14,270 --> 01:24:15,729
"I have been talking

1202
01:24:15,729 --> 01:24:18,312
"to the BBC Television
programme <i>That's Life!"</i>

1203
01:24:18,312 --> 01:24:19,646
Surely not.

1204
01:24:19,646 --> 01:24:21,938
Yes, they want me
to go in and, uh,

1205
01:24:21,938 --> 01:24:23,730
check the historical accuracy.

1206
01:24:23,730 --> 01:24:26,605
But that's such a silly show.

1207
01:24:26,605 --> 01:24:27,730
- What?
<i>- That's Life!</i>

1208
01:24:27,730 --> 01:24:29,022
It's a very silly show.

1209
01:24:29,939 --> 01:24:31,023
It is.

1210
01:24:31,023 --> 01:24:32,273
Well, it's very popular,
isn't it?

1211
01:24:32,273 --> 01:24:34,273
I mean, a lot of people
watch it.

1212
01:24:35,315 --> 01:24:37,148
Should I come with you?

1213
01:24:37,148 --> 01:24:38,399
Why would you want
to come with me

1214
01:24:38,399 --> 01:24:39,732
if you think it's so silly?

1215
01:24:52,276 --> 01:24:53,276
Oh.

1216
01:24:55,694 --> 01:24:59,986
Hello. Hi, Mr Winton,
such a pleasure to meet you.

1217
01:24:59,986 --> 01:25:01,403
Just gonna take you
through here.

1218
01:25:01,403 --> 01:25:02,486
- Yes.
This way.

1219
01:25:04,903 --> 01:25:06,153
What exactly am I to do?

1220
01:25:06,153 --> 01:25:07,404
Oh, they're going
to explain all that.

1221
01:25:07,404 --> 01:25:09,153
- Oh.
- It's just through here.

1222
01:25:09,153 --> 01:25:10,278
All right.

1223
01:25:11,988 --> 01:25:12,988
Thank you.

1224
01:25:14,029 --> 01:25:15,029
Thanks.

1225
01:25:22,030 --> 01:25:23,990
Camera six.

1226
01:25:23,990 --> 01:25:25,656
Can you come
from the other side?

1227
01:25:27,156 --> 01:25:29,281
Thank you.

1228
01:25:29,281 --> 01:25:30,991
Thirty seconds
to on air.

1229
01:25:36,032 --> 01:25:39,658
Okay, and you are just here.

1230
01:25:39,658 --> 01:25:42,242
- Couldn't I sit farther back?
- I'm afraid not.

1231
01:25:42,242 --> 01:25:43,617
Oh, I'd rather be backstage.

1232
01:25:43,617 --> 01:25:45,034
I'm... I'm really,
really sorry.

1233
01:25:45,034 --> 01:25:46,284
It's just they told me
to put you here

1234
01:25:46,284 --> 01:25:47,576
and we're running out of time.

1235
01:25:47,576 --> 01:25:48,535
All right.

1236
01:25:59,036 --> 01:26:00,286
Who's that?

1237
01:26:19,039 --> 01:26:20,998
Hello. Good evening.

1238
01:26:29,082 --> 01:26:31,250
<i>And would you want
to be treated by this dentist</i>

1239
01:26:31,250 --> 01:26:34,874
<i>in Bath who goes
by the name Mr F Illing?</i>

1240
01:26:37,792 --> 01:26:38,792
<i>Esther.</i>

1241
01:26:40,251 --> 01:26:43,376
Now, an extraordinary story
has come to light

1242
01:26:43,376 --> 01:26:45,168
about a young man who,

1243
01:26:45,168 --> 01:26:47,711
many years ago,
visited Prague,

1244
01:26:47,711 --> 01:26:51,877
and what he found there
was a terrible situation.

1245
01:26:51,877 --> 01:26:54,044
Thousands
of refugees stranded,

1246
01:26:54,044 --> 01:26:56,461
living
in desperate conditions,

1247
01:26:56,461 --> 01:27:00,129
<i>and at the mercy of Hitler's
imminent invasion.</i>

1248
01:27:00,129 --> 01:27:03,337
<i>This young man, whose name
was Nicholas Winton,</i>

1249
01:27:03,337 --> 01:27:06,005
<i>decided that something
had to be done.</i>

1250
01:27:06,005 --> 01:27:10,588
And so he managed
to rescue 669 children.

1251
01:27:11,755 --> 01:27:13,172
This is his scrapbook.

1252
01:27:14,506 --> 01:27:19,257
All sorts
of fascinating photographs.

1253
01:27:20,465 --> 01:27:22,340
Perhaps you can see...

1254
01:27:23,882 --> 01:27:26,716
Here's a photograph of
Nicholas Winton himself,

1255
01:27:26,716 --> 01:27:29,800
with one of the children
he rescued.

1256
01:27:29,800 --> 01:27:33,883
But at the very back,
is a list

1257
01:27:33,883 --> 01:27:35,467
of all the children

1258
01:27:35,467 --> 01:27:37,300
<i>that he rescued.</i>

1259
01:27:37,300 --> 01:27:40,926
<i>Here is Vera Diamantova,
now Vera Gissing.</i>

1260
01:27:40,926 --> 01:27:43,969
We found her name on his list.

1261
01:27:43,969 --> 01:27:47,302
And Vera is here
with us tonight. Hello, Vera.

1262
01:27:47,302 --> 01:27:48,720
- Hello.
Now, I should tell

1263
01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:50,386
you that you are, in fact,
sitting next

1264
01:27:50,386 --> 01:27:52,470
to Mr Nicholas Winton.

1265
01:27:53,970 --> 01:27:55,012
Hello.

1266
01:27:57,096 --> 01:27:59,762
- Hello.

1267
01:28:08,097 --> 01:28:09,097
Thank you.

1268
01:28:24,350 --> 01:28:26,017
I was reunited
with my sister

1269
01:28:26,017 --> 01:28:27,933
a few years later.

1270
01:28:27,933 --> 01:28:29,684
And your parents?

1271
01:28:29,684 --> 01:28:33,143
My father was tortured,
in Terezin.

1272
01:28:33,143 --> 01:28:34,226
Mm-hmm.

1273
01:28:34,226 --> 01:28:36,810
And then sent to Auschwitz.

1274
01:28:39,185 --> 01:28:41,602
And then on
to another labour camp.

1275
01:28:41,602 --> 01:28:43,145
Ah.

1276
01:28:43,145 --> 01:28:44,519
A fellow prisoner told me

1277
01:28:44,519 --> 01:28:47,978
he thought he'd been shot
on the Death March.

1278
01:28:49,687 --> 01:28:50,687
Hmm.

1279
01:28:52,104 --> 01:28:54,938
My mother, um, died of typhus.

1280
01:28:56,521 --> 01:28:58,896
So sorry.
- Contracted at Belsen.

1281
01:29:00,689 --> 01:29:02,856
But she knew
that we were safe.

1282
01:29:02,856 --> 01:29:04,647
For a mother,
that is everything.

1283
01:29:07,690 --> 01:29:11,857
And, um, my cousins,
Honza and Tommy

1284
01:29:13,482 --> 01:29:15,190
were on the last train.

1285
01:29:17,066 --> 01:29:18,858
Yeah.

1286
01:29:18,858 --> 01:29:21,108
Though I never
saw them again, of course.

1287
01:29:52,904 --> 01:29:53,905
Nicky.

1288
01:30:05,532 --> 01:30:06,699
Nicky.

1289
01:30:43,537 --> 01:30:44,620
I'm sorry.

1290
01:30:57,331 --> 01:30:59,623
I'm sorry. Very sorry.

1291
01:30:59,623 --> 01:31:00,707
Don't.

1292
01:31:07,624 --> 01:31:08,624
I'll get it.

1293
01:31:13,917 --> 01:31:15,792
Nicky! You've not
called me back.

1294
01:31:15,792 --> 01:31:17,460
I left messages!

1295
01:31:17,460 --> 01:31:20,293
- Doesn't it follow that I don't
want to talk to you?
- Oh, come on, come on,
let me do a piece.

1296
01:31:20,293 --> 01:31:21,626
No, thanks.

1297
01:31:21,626 --> 01:31:23,752
Come on. It's such
a brilliant story, Nicky.

1298
01:31:23,752 --> 01:31:27,878
You're a hero. Nicky, please.
Please.

1299
01:31:27,878 --> 01:31:29,586
What...
It's not about me.

1300
01:31:29,586 --> 01:31:30,669
- Nicky, come on,

1301
01:31:30,669 --> 01:31:31,753
give me a chance.

1302
01:31:34,211 --> 01:31:35,795
Maidenhead, 3310.

1303
01:31:35,795 --> 01:31:37,337
<i>Hello, is
Mister Winton there, please?</i>

1304
01:31:37,337 --> 01:31:40,463
No, he's not available.
Can I ask who's calling?

1305
01:31:40,463 --> 01:31:43,380
<i>This is Katinka Blackford
from</i> That's Life!

1306
01:31:43,380 --> 01:31:45,422
Oh. Oh, I see.

1307
01:31:47,255 --> 01:31:50,548
Two more children, huh?

1308
01:31:50,548 --> 01:31:54,882
They... They phoned in
after last week's show.

1309
01:31:54,882 --> 01:31:57,382
Yeah.

1310
01:31:57,382 --> 01:32:00,924
They so
desperately want to meet you.

1311
01:32:05,425 --> 01:32:07,133
You don't have to do it.

1312
01:32:08,383 --> 01:32:09,384
Don't I?

1313
01:32:11,509 --> 01:32:14,217
I asked them to send
the children's details to us.

1314
01:32:15,593 --> 01:32:17,385
I won't have you
ambushed again.

1315
01:32:29,803 --> 01:32:31,512
Milena...

1316
01:32:31,512 --> 01:32:33,929
Well, goodness. This girl's
done very well for herself.

1317
01:32:33,929 --> 01:32:35,471
Yeah.

1318
01:32:35,471 --> 01:32:37,263
Milena is now
Lady Grenfell Baines.

1319
01:32:37,263 --> 01:32:38,805
Oh.

1320
01:32:38,805 --> 01:32:41,680
All right.

1321
01:32:46,222 --> 01:32:49,057
- Who's that?
Hanus.

1322
01:32:49,057 --> 01:32:51,515
Perhaps it's too much.
Perhaps you've done enough.

1323
01:32:51,515 --> 01:32:52,724
No, I...

1324
01:32:53,974 --> 01:32:56,516
I started
the whole thing, so...

1325
01:32:56,516 --> 01:32:57,932
I have to finish it.

1326
01:33:01,017 --> 01:33:04,768
Last week was incredible
for us here at <i>That's Life!</i>

1327
01:33:04,768 --> 01:33:08,268
We told a story that touched
the hearts of so many people.

1328
01:33:08,268 --> 01:33:11,685
We've been overwhelmed
by the response.

1329
01:33:11,685 --> 01:33:14,518
One of the people who was
very affected last week

1330
01:33:14,518 --> 01:33:16,852
is with us here tonight.

1331
01:33:16,852 --> 01:33:20,811
Milena Fleischmann,
now Lady Grenfell Baines,

1332
01:33:20,811 --> 01:33:24,895
was also one of the children
that Nicholas Winton rescued.

1333
01:33:24,895 --> 01:33:28,896
Milena, I understand
you still have the name tag

1334
01:33:28,896 --> 01:33:30,271
that you wore around your neck

1335
01:33:30,271 --> 01:33:33,188
when you arrived here
as a little girl.

1336
01:33:33,188 --> 01:33:36,522
Yes, I wore this
around my neck

1337
01:33:36,522 --> 01:33:40,065
and this is the actual pass

1338
01:33:40,065 --> 01:33:43,273
we were given
to come to England.

1339
01:33:43,273 --> 01:33:46,356
So, I am one of the children
that you saved.

1340
01:33:52,316 --> 01:33:55,483
Now, Mr Winton, having
introduced you to Milena,

1341
01:33:55,483 --> 01:33:58,650
there's somebody else that
we'd like to tell you about.

1342
01:33:58,650 --> 01:34:02,984
Hanus Schnabel was only 11
when he came over here.

1343
01:34:04,443 --> 01:34:05,610
We have his passport

1344
01:34:07,359 --> 01:34:10,444
with all the official
stamps in it.

1345
01:34:10,444 --> 01:34:12,944
I don't know
whether you can see,

1346
01:34:12,944 --> 01:34:15,486
but this is how he got here.

1347
01:34:15,486 --> 01:34:16,986
And he told us...

1348
01:34:16,986 --> 01:34:19,320
"I don't know how
my rescue was arranged.

1349
01:34:19,320 --> 01:34:21,945
"I had no idea when I left
my parents at Prague station

1350
01:34:21,945 --> 01:34:23,820
"that I would never
see them again.

1351
01:34:23,820 --> 01:34:25,821
"My older brother Franta
was supposed

1352
01:34:25,821 --> 01:34:27,529
"to come here by train
in September,

1353
01:34:27,529 --> 01:34:30,405
"but war broke out and I never
saw him again either.

1354
01:34:30,405 --> 01:34:32,947
"I hoped all through the war
that they would survive,

1355
01:34:32,947 --> 01:34:35,906
"but they were gassed
in a concentration camp.

1356
01:34:35,906 --> 01:34:37,864
"I've often wondered
who was responsible

1357
01:34:37,864 --> 01:34:39,615
"for organising my rescue.

1358
01:34:39,615 --> 01:34:41,032
"I would dearly love
to meet him

1359
01:34:41,032 --> 01:34:43,032
"and thank him
for helping us children

1360
01:34:43,032 --> 01:34:45,616
"without any hope
of acknowledgement."

1361
01:34:45,616 --> 01:34:49,241
Hanus' name is
on Mr Winton's list.

1362
01:34:49,241 --> 01:34:51,867
And Hanus is here
with us tonight.

1363
01:34:55,451 --> 01:34:56,659
Oh.

1364
01:34:56,659 --> 01:34:57,743
Thank you.

1365
01:35:01,077 --> 01:35:02,743
Now, I don't want
to rush you.

1366
01:35:02,743 --> 01:35:05,327
I know you've waited
a long time for this moment,

1367
01:35:05,327 --> 01:35:07,786
but you'll be able
to talk to Hanus later.

1368
01:35:09,411 --> 01:35:12,578
However, our evening
isn't quite over.

1369
01:35:16,662 --> 01:35:20,121
Can I ask, is there anyone
in the audience tonight

1370
01:35:20,121 --> 01:35:22,662
who owes their life
to Nicholas Winton?

1371
01:35:24,080 --> 01:35:26,205
If so, could you
stand up, please?

1372
01:35:45,416 --> 01:35:47,708
Mr Winton, would you like
to turn around?

1373
01:36:07,045 --> 01:36:08,628
You can meet
all of these people

1374
01:36:08,628 --> 01:36:11,629
properly after the programme.

1375
01:36:11,629 --> 01:36:16,630
In the meantime, Mr Winton,
on behalf of all of them,

1376
01:36:16,630 --> 01:36:18,505
thank you very much indeed.

1377
01:38:22,398 --> 01:38:23,732
See Grandpa?

1378
01:38:31,358 --> 01:38:33,983
- Hello. Hello, Vera. Come in.
- Oh, Nicky.

1379
01:38:33,983 --> 01:38:36,109
- Hello.

1380
01:38:36,109 --> 01:38:38,943
- Good, go through. Hello.
- Hi.

1381
01:38:38,943 --> 01:38:40,776
What's your name?
Hi,

1382
01:38:40,776 --> 01:38:42,610
- I'm Vera's daughter.
Hello.

1383
01:38:42,610 --> 01:38:43,902
Nice to meet you.
Hello. Come through.

1384
01:38:43,902 --> 01:38:45,360
This is
so beautiful.

1385
01:38:45,360 --> 01:38:46,735
Oh, this is Nicola.

1386
01:38:46,735 --> 01:38:48,236
- Oh, hello. Hello.
- My daughter.

1387
01:38:48,236 --> 01:38:49,861
And this is Rebecca,
my little grandchild.

1388
01:38:49,861 --> 01:38:51,444
- Wow. Hello.
Say, "Hello."

1389
01:38:51,444 --> 01:38:53,403
Hi. So, you do have a pool.

1390
01:38:53,403 --> 01:38:54,487
We do have a pool.

1391
01:38:55,903 --> 01:38:58,654
Nicky, turn the music down
a little bit, darling.

1392
01:39:03,404 --> 01:39:05,363
Hello, young man. Hello.

1393
01:39:05,363 --> 01:39:07,280
Right,
be careful, though.

1394
01:39:07,280 --> 01:39:08,364
Not too fast.

1395
01:39:08,364 --> 01:39:10,405
Oh, it's beautiful, isn't it?

1396
01:39:10,405 --> 01:39:11,864
Oh, my goodness.

1397
01:39:11,864 --> 01:39:13,198
Darling, you must
be really careful here.

1398
01:39:13,198 --> 01:39:15,989
Oh, you have
a lovely pool, Nicky.

1399
01:39:15,989 --> 01:39:17,573
Yeah. I like to swim.

1400
01:39:20,740 --> 01:39:21,949
- You remember?
- Mm.

1401
01:39:24,574 --> 01:39:25,699
You all got towels?
Yes, yes, yes, yes.

01:39:25,699 --> 01:39:27,741
Can we go in?
Yes!

1403
01:39:27,741 --> 01:39:29,492
What's the temperature like?

1404
01:39:29,492 --> 01:39:31,076
It's all right
if you're a penguin.

1405
01:39:33,118 --> 01:39:35,326
Let's have
a little go, shall we?

1406
01:39:35,326 --> 01:39:38,122
- Oh. Gotcha!

1407
01:39:38,832 --> 01:39:40,607
Oh!

1408
01:39:46,554 --> 01:39:48,817
- Isn't that lovely.
