What have you done now, Sophie?

You've broken in

to my house again?

Are you aware

of what this means?

l'm gonna make it

so hard for you.

You are so good.

You even had me convinced

l was crazy.

You are.

lt's my word against yours.

Let's just go upstairs

and talk this thing through.

l know everything

l need to.

Are you afraid?

l think you're afraid that

l'm gonna reject you again.

[whispering]

lt must have been horrible.

Then you get your hopes up

and you're imagining

all that time who l am

and then you finally find me

and l'm pregnant with Elly.

[whispering]

You poor thing.

You know,

l thought about you

all the time.

When they first

took you away from me,

after that l would sneak back

to the children's home

night after night

and l'd hide,

wondering if you

were still in there.

You know, under that big tree

where the owl was all the time.

And now, look at you.

You are so beautiful.

And accomplished.

And you have J immy

and Jess.

Jess is J immy's daughter,

not mine.

l'm a liar,

just like you.

l am so sorry.

[screams]

Get everyone out.

[fire engine siren wailing]

[women cough]

( nurse )

M r Singleton?

lf you want me,

we can get rid

of the clothes.

We have emptied

the pockets for you.

Why don't you go home

and get some rest?

She won't wake

'till the morning.

The girls are with your dad.

They're still asleep.

l have something

that l have to tell you.

No, Soph,

l already know.

What?

They gave me your stuff

last night and l saw

the birth certificate.

[whispering]

l am so sorry.

l should've told you

from the very beginning.

l waited in the longer,

l waited the harder.

lt's me that

should be sorry.

l did wanna tell you.

l felt so ashamed, though.

lt's fine.

lt always

would've been fine.

l don't want

anymore secrets

between us.

How are the girls?

They're confused

and shaken.

They'll be better

when you're home.

And Mara?

Soph, there's something

l need to tell you

about Mara.

The past is the past.

Let's start fresh.

[whispers]

l love you.

How is she?

Does she have visitors?

l don't think

you should see her.

She's confused

and dangerous.

l don't want you to go

anywhere near her.

Please.

[Ginger purrs]

[soft music]

[owl screeches]

[soft music]

[door closes]

You think you can just

march in here

after all this time?

l came to ask

your permission

to put you in the book

that l'm doing.

l have to write a text

to go with my pictures.

l wanna write about us.

l was just a. . . scared kid

when they made me

give you away.

Later, when you came

to find me, l--

[whispering]

l don't have an excuse.

l was stuck

in a children's home

'till l was ten.

l was just fostered out

over and over

like an unwanted dog.

You have every right

to be angry with me.

You were very brave

to seek me out.

l was a coward.

You don't know me.

You don't know anything.

You're right,

l don't know you.

And that's my loss.

l'm sorry.

Oan you forgive me?

[bursts out crying]

lt's alright.

lt's okay.

l'm here.

l won't leave you again.

Do you promise?

l promise.

Oross your heart

and hope to die.

Hope to die.

( nurse )

You can't be in here.

Were you signed in?

Are you on the list?

l'm her mother.

Have you taken

your medication?

Yes, yeah.

l'm just doing

a bit of filing.

Oh.

The bidding

is about to close.

[girls laugh and scream]

[soft music]

l had one of those, Kate.

You can share mine, Mara.

You can take anything of mine.

Oross your heart

and hope to die.

Oross my heart

and hope to die.
