It's alright.
I got a pain.
It's alright.
I got a pain!
Gerty...
Jimminy, did you bring the note
I asked you for?
What note, Miss Bailey?
From your mother...
about Gerty's absence.
I forgot it.
Well be sure and bring it tomorrow.
Yes, Miss Bailey.
Can I get him?
Dr Meadows?
Can I, Elsa?
Why not?
Mother wouldn't like it.
We can't go against her, now.
Gerty's going to die!
Mother is listening.
Does anyone want to speak to Mother?
Please...
Can I get a doctor for Gerty.
The Lord giveth...
...and the Lord taketh away.
The wages of sin is death.
Mr Charles Hook...
Dear...
Hugh...
Has...God got a beard?
...Mr Hook...
Hugh...
What are you... doing?
Nothing.
Go to sleep!
Hubert!
You're going to be late for school!
I'm not going to school today.
Someone's got to look after Gerty.
You're not going to fetch a doctor!
No.
Gerty...
Feeling any better?
I've brought you some biscuits.
Cream ones.
Come on!
Try one.
It's not...I did it yesterday.
It's Jimminy's.
Jimminy's.
I want some more tongue.
We haven't got any.
Hello...
Where've you been?
This is Louis.
Who's he?
He'll come to live with us.
He can't stay here, Jimminy!
If HE goes...I go.
Where'd you get him from?
He's in my form...
He sits at the back.
You kidnapped him, kid!
I didn't...
He wanted to come.
Didn't you, Louis?
You can't go around
kidnapping people!
Haven't you got a home?
He doesn't want to go home.
Do you want some tea?
He looked at my portfolio.
We haven't got any coal.
Well put him to bed then.
We can't just keep him...
We've got to send him home
to his mother.
His brother died...
He'll jump in the river...
And I will, too!
How do you know
he isn't a traitor?
We can find out, Dun...
We can ask Mother.
Yes... let's ask Mother.
You won't run away, will you?
I told you...I told you...
Louis can stay.
This is your home, now.
You can stay, you can stay!
You will stay,
won't you Louis?
You want to, don't you?
Yes, please.
He can talk!
Of course he can talk.
Of course he can.
Where's he going to sleep, Jimminy?
With me!
She wouldn't answer.
What?
Mother wouldn't answer.
I tried and tried,
and she didn't speak to me.
Mother wasn't there!
So I HAD to pretend....
I lied to you!
I told a lie!
But the other times...
-She's always been there before...
I promise you!
Suppose she's come for Gerty?
Please!
Open it!
Look!
Look Elsa...I found a golliwog.
What's going on?
You'll see.
You haven't even made your beds.
Later, Hugh, later... sit down.
Close your eyes.
Why?
Let me see...
Open your eyes!
Children, before you go off
to your classroom...
Miss Bailey has something very serious
she wants to ask you.
Smiling with the teacher...
...will get a smacked bum!
Children!
Louis Grossiker has been kidnapped.
Now then!.
Any of you seen Louis?
Never heard of him.
Louis' mother is very upset.
Where's my Louis?
I've lost my little Louis!
Dunstan!
Have you seen Louis?
Oh, no!
I've lost my Louis.
You naughty girl!
It's Gerty! It's Gerty!
I want a biscuit!
She's better!
Please Hugh... please...
Can I have a biscuit?
I'll get it.
I told you, Hugh...
Mother knows best.
Look, Gert... it's Louis.
He's one of us, now.
I want a biscuit and one
for my black rat, too!
I'll go.
Miss Bailey!
Yes...Miss Bailey?
I want to speak to your
mother, Dunstan. -She's asleep.
Then I'm afraid
you'll have to wake her.
Now then... would you tell her?
Would you like to sit down?
No, thank you...
I've come to speak to your mother.
And that's what I'm going to do.
Mother doesn't want
to speak to you, Miss Bailey.
She doesn't want to speak to anyone
just at the moment.
Diana, I'm afraid I MUST speak
to your mother.
If she's asleep,
you'll have to wake her.
What do you want, Miss Bailey?
I know that you have Louis here. In
this house. -Who? -Louis Grossiker.
Jimminy... you were seen
bringing him in here.
Where is he?
Hubert... will you tell me
where Louis is?
Well, if you won't tell me...
I'll have to find him myself.
He isn't here... it's a lie!
Louis!
You can't just kidnap
someone like that, Elsa...
Where is he?
Well... where is your mother?
I want to speak to your mother, Elsa.
You can't go in there...
It's Mother's room.
Mrs Hook...
You said she was asleep.
Where is she?
Where is your mother?
Go away, Miss Bailey...
Go away.
Have you all gone mad?
Mother's ill...
Mother's been a long time.
Yes Willy, I know...
but where is she?
And what have you
done with Louis?
Don't lie to me Willy...
I know you're hiding him here.
Hello...
Who are you?
I'm Louis.
I'm Charlie.
Mother doesn't want you here.
Elsa... don't you realise that Louis' mother
is very upset?
Hey... what's goin' on?
Go away, Miss Bailey...
go away!
Well if you won't tell me
where he is...
...I'll have to report you
to the police.
Louis!
Come here now Louis!
It's no use hiding anymore.
Who are you?
Hook.
Charlie Hook.
And you'll be...
Miss Bailey?
Yes.
I'm the children's teacher.
I'm very pleased to meet you,
Miss Bailey.
Dad!
Steady on...!
Now, what you been up to
while I been away... eh?
Did you get yourselves
in a bit of a scrape?
Mr Hook...
Oh, call me Charlie.
Where's your wife?
The children said she was asleep,
but she's not in her room.
Alright...
Well, she couldn't be in her room,
could she?
Couldn't?
Well I mean...
It's obvious she isn't.
I'n't it?
But the children said
she was asleep.
Did they now?
Someone's going to have to
tell the teacher where Mother is.
Ain't they?
Come on then.
Out with it!
Well, someone say!
Mother had to go away.
The doctor sent her away
to the seaside to get better.
The seaside!
The sanatorium.
But you...
You know about children,
Miss Bailey...
Something they don't like...
They pretend it just never happened.
Like ostriches...
...in the sand.
Now what's all this about...
what is it...Lewis?
He ran away from home...
and they've kept him here.
They don't realise...
They ought have had more sense,
oughtn't they, really.
You are a bright bunch of bananas...
really!
Look how upset
you made poor Miss Bailey!
I don't know!
I really don't know.
What happened?..has Mum gone
to the police?
No she hasn't.
I don't think she trusts the police.
Come along, Louis.
Some people are like that.
Gerty! What have you done
to your hair?!
I cut it.
I think you ought to give your children
a good talking to, Mr Hook.
Oh, I will, Miss Bailey...I will!
Good night, My Hook.
Goodnight, Miss Bailey.
Goodbye Louis.
Well, you'd've all been in a right mess,
if I hadn't turned up, wouldn't you?
Who are you?
He's out father.
I wrote to him.
We haven't got a father.
You know we haven't.
We have... ask Elsa.
Hubert!
You promised!
I had to, Elsa.
We don't want anything
to do with you!
Steady on!
Elsa is all we've got.
