- Yes?

Or to confess,

or whatever it's called.

Yes.

I just haven't anywhere else to go.

That's quite all right.

Would you like to sit down?

No, thanks.

- Sorry. I...

The thing is, -

- I have feelings for

one of the prisoners.

Feelings?

- I don't know if it's love.

But I've feelings for her.

And...

...now I have also held her hand.

You've held her hand.

- It's forbidden.

For officers and prisoners...

Laws do tend to get in the way.

But love is not easy to control.

I know it's wrong.

Is it serious?

Love...

...can never be illegitimate.

But if it's serious... perhaps -

- you should consider

getting a new job.

So... you had better figure out...

...if it's serious.

You don't have a TV.

No.

You can watch mine if you want.

There's this

really good magician on later.

I've brought you a present.

A thank-you present.

For what?

For making me clean.

I haven't done anything.

It's nothing special.

It's not brand new, I'm afraid.

- OK.

Thanks.

Jossi says

I've got to help with her stash.

I don't want to be

busted for Jossi's dope.

But I can't find

a good hiding place.

I'II help you.

Look, that's the head.

And this is the spine.

- Oh, my goodness!

Let's see what stage you're at...

I'd say you are 15 weeks pregnant.

It's 15 cm long.

Look at that!

- It's moved over there.

It's tumbling around.

- Zooming about.

It's looking at us.

- Maybe it is!

Goodbye and thank you!

- Don't forget this!

The blood of Christ...

The blood of Christ...

The blood of Christ...

The blood of Christ...

It only goes round once.

Our crucified, resurrected Saviour,

Lord Jesus Christ, -

- who has now given us

His sacred body and blood -

- and absolved us

of all our sins.

May His strength

thereby preserve us -

- in true faith

unto everlasting life.

Peace be with you!

You look pleased.

- Yes.

My computer's playing up and

there's a file I want to look at.

Come here.

- What a clapped-out old thing!

Which file did you want to look at?

I don't know her surname.

Kate.

Kate Kristofferson.

Why her file?

I just want to look at it.

And maybe a couple of others.

Here it is.

She was a drug addict at the time.

And it says her baby died of thirst?

She left her alone for four days.

Left a little girl in her flat?

If you and I were on drugs

we'd be unpredictable, too.

And then she threw

the baby into a dustbin.

She probably thought

she'd only be gone for a moment -

- and then she took

drugs and forgot.

Anyone serving time

for harming a child -

- gets hunted like an animal.

They usually end up in

voluntary solitary confinement.

Yes.

Anna?

It's very important that

none of the other inmates find out.

Of course.

Hi.

I happened to be passing.

- Yes.

Are you all right?

I've been given a present.

By Marion.

Very nice.

What if...

...it was my mum's 60th birthday

next week?

I'll show you what we found.

Then we'll talk about

what happens next, all right?

The amniotic fluid test

revealed a "translocation", -

- i.e. an abnormality.

Look... these are the chromosomes.

This bit has come off this

chromosome and tagged on here.

You can have a chromosome

defect like that and be healthy.

It may mean nothing.

What matters is whether

it's been passed on from a parent -

- or whether it is a new occurrence.

I don't understand.

If it's a new occurrence

the fetus may be damaged.

So we're going to do blood tests -

- to see if one of you

has the same defect.

And if one of us has?

- That will be great.

There'll be nothing to fear.

And it's the most typical.

In 90% of all cases -

- one of the parents

has the defect.

And what if we haven't?

There'll be a 5 to 10% chance

that there's something wrong.

What if we're among the 10%?

In the worst case,

the child will be retarded.

It may have an unusual

appearance.

Or slightly stunted growth.

Or it may be born with deformities.

So we'll test your blood, all right?

The results will be ready in a week.

- Yes.

Obviously.

Right.

Frank, say something.

When my sister was

pregnant the first time -

- they said there might be

something wrong but there wasn't.

That was nice.

But maybe we're not that lucky?

- We're beautiful, young, and lucky.

Say it again.

We are beautiful and we are lucky.

Again.

You are beautiful and I am lucky.

I've got a business going.

- I know.

So stop playing Jesus and making

my customers think they're clean.

I don't want my lovely kids

going short while I'm inside.

And for that I need my business.

Don't cross me.

Isn't this a great job?

- Sure.

We spend the day cleaning up after

hookers and junkies.

There's a good feel

about the place right now.

Oh, yes, it's really great.

Have you received

any more postcards?

It's because...

...It's because of my kids.

They're threatening my kids.

They are bastards.

- Not all of them.

Just wait till

you've been here five years.

"Happy Birthday, Mum", then.

Thanks.

We don't have to stay here.

- It's all right.

OK.

You could tell me

what you saw on TV last night.

I don't really remember.

I surfed.

Something on space travel.

- Space travel?

Tell me about that, then.

Yes. Where shall I start?

It doesn't matter where you begin.

I'd almost forgotten

things like that.

What things?

- Ordinary things.

Like having coffee somewhere.

Or talking about space travel?

- Talking a lot about space travel.

I'd better get that report done.

What's that nice warder called?

The one with the lovely hair?

He's not that old and

he's got lovely hair.

"Henrik Butterlocks."

Why?

It says neither of you has

abnormal chromosomes.

So there is a 5 to 10% risk -

- that something about your fetus

isn't as it should be.

But you can't say

any more than that?

No.

So it may have an unusual

appearance and be -

- retarded?

What you have to decide -

- is whether to continue

the pregnancy or to terminate it.

If you decide to go through with it

and the baby is handicapped -

- we can talk

about the support available -

- and what kind

of life it will lead.

Isn't it too late

for a termination?

No. We'll recommend termination

to the authorities.

It's a formality with this

translocation.

But for your own sakes

I wouldn't wait too long.

The decision is entirely up to you.

I am available if you want to talk

to me or for whatever else I can do.

How do you do it?

- How do we do what?

If you remove the baby...

How will you kill our baby?

I'd like to know how you do it.

It's our baby and my body,

so I've a right to know.

We use a suppository

called Cervagem.

We insert it into the vagina.

It makes the uterus contract.

And the baby comes out?

- Yes.

Is it alive?

No.

Why not?

Because the contractions

suffocate the fetus.

You say fetus, I say baby.

Funny, isn't it?

Go home and talk it over.

I'II arrange a new appointment.

You'll get a new appointment soon.

We'll get a new appointment.

Come on.

Those knives don't go

in the dishwasher...
