My patients

I'm not trying to boast,

9
00:02:15,398 --> 00:02:18,525
but I feel a great sense
of pride in what we do.

00:02:19,527 --> 00:02:22,237

have achieved so much.

Good morning,
Miss Emily.

32
00:04:02,797 --> 00:04:06,925
It has come to my attention
that three burned cigarettes
were discovered,

33
00:04:07,302 --> 00:04:10,387
hidden behind a pot
in the flower garden.

00:04:14,934 --> 00:04:18,729
some of the caretakers
and deliverymen
smoking cigarettes,

36
00:04:18,813 --> 00:04:23,275
but I must emphasize,
once again,
that it is much, much worse

37
00:04:23,359 --> 00:04:26,862
for a student of Hailsham
to smoke cigarettes
than anyone else.

00:29:59,815 --> 00:30:03,442
that some of us
would be permitted
to volunteer as carers.

321
00:30:05,696 --> 00:30:09,824
But, apart from that,
we'd be left largely
to our own devices

to take day trips into

Okay.

632
00:58:16,221 --> 00:58:18,597
I was wondering who'd be
working on Hannah today.

633
00:58:18,682 --> 00:58:22,017
KATHY: I'd never say
I've become immune
to the completions.

634
00:58:22,978 --> 00:58:25,980
But they are something
I am able to live with.

635
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:32,820
You're Hannah's carer,
aren't you?

636
00:58:33,738 --> 00:58:35,489
Hannah's carer?
Yes.

637
00:58:36,783 --> 00:58:40,411
I'm sorry, it's always hard,
but there were complications.

638
00:58:44,541 --> 00:58:46,000
You need me
to sign the release?

639
00:58:46,084 --> 00:58:47,293
Please.

640
00:58:49,504 --> 00:58:51,589
Are you going
to leave now?

641
00:58:51,673 --> 00:58:53,799
We can quite easily
provide you
with a bed tonight

642
00:58:53,883 --> 00:58:55,384
if you've got
a long drive.

643
00:58:55,510 --> 00:58:57,886
I can be back home
in under two hours.

644
00:58:57,971 --> 00:58:59,597
It's always better
to wake at home,
isn't it?

645
00:59:09,149 --> 00:59:10,816
Is that someone
you know?

646
00:59:10,942 --> 00:59:12,401
Yeah.

647
00:59:14,779 --> 00:59:16,697
Actually,
we grew up together.

648
00:59:17,073 --> 00:59:18,866
Oh.
How is she?

649
00:59:19,159 --> 00:59:21,035
Were you close?

650
00:59:21,161 --> 00:59:23,746
We haven't seen each other
now for almost 10 years.

651
00:59:23,830 --> 00:59:28,208
Well, Ruth isn't
as strong as we would
hope, at this stage.

652
00:59:30,420 --> 00:59:32,379
She's done
two donations.

653
00:59:32,922 --> 00:59:34,256
She has.

654
00:59:35,258 --> 00:59:36,759
You think
she'll complete
on the third?

655
00:59:37,636 --> 00:59:39,845
I think she wants
to complete.

656
00:59:40,764 --> 00:59:45,100
And, as you know,
when they want to complete,
they usually do.

657
01:00:43,493 --> 01:00:44,493

(RUTH PANTING)

662
01:01:16,402 --> 01:01:19,362
RUTH: I've been
keeping tabs on you
over the years.

663
01:01:19,613 --> 01:01:21,156
And Tommy, too.

664
01:01:21,490 --> 01:01:23,450
KATHY: What do you
hear about Tommy?

665
01:01:23,534 --> 01:01:26,786
(SIGHS) That he's done
his second donation, too,

666
01:01:26,871 --> 01:01:29,706
and apparently
he's doing
very well on it.

667
01:01:30,374 --> 01:01:31,541
Apparently
he's in better shape

668
01:01:31,625 --> 01:01:34,085
than some after
their first donation.

669
01:01:34,295 --> 01:01:37,046
Good old Tommy.
I'm not surprised.

670
01:01:39,175 --> 01:01:41,134
Are you surprised at me?

671
01:01:43,137 --> 01:01:45,972
I expect I look
a bit broken, Kath.

672
01:01:47,057 --> 01:01:48,141
(SNICKERS)

673
01:01:48,225 --> 01:01:49,893
It's okay.

674
01:01:50,186 --> 01:01:53,229
I don't think
I'd want to survive
my third donation, anyway.

675
01:01:53,898 --> 01:01:56,024
You hear things,
don't you?

676
01:01:56,233 --> 01:01:58,193
What kind of things?

677
01:01:58,736 --> 01:02:00,528
Oh, you know.

678
01:02:03,741 --> 01:02:05,909
How, maybe,
after the fourth donation,

679
01:02:05,993 --> 01:02:08,787
even if you've
technically completed,

680
01:02:08,913 --> 01:02:12,081
you're still conscious
in some sort of way.

681
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:17,170
And then you find out
that there are more
donations, plenty of them.

682
01:02:17,254 --> 01:02:21,466
No more recovery centers.
No more carers.

683
01:02:23,219 --> 01:02:25,261
Just watching
and waiting.

684
01:02:27,014 --> 01:02:29,349
Till they switch you off.

685
01:02:35,189 --> 01:02:37,607
I don't think
I fancy that.

686
01:02:41,612 --> 01:02:44,030
Is it the end
of the day already?

687
01:02:45,407 --> 01:02:47,158
Do you know,
it's funny,

688
01:02:47,243 --> 01:02:51,538
I think I've thought
about you every day
for the last few months.

689
01:02:51,622 --> 01:02:53,623
Hoping I'd see you again.

690
01:02:55,292 --> 01:02:58,127
Do you know,
I felt sure
that I would.

691
01:02:59,630 --> 01:03:04,717
Seemed impossible
that I'd complete without
seeing you one last time.

692
01:03:07,137 --> 01:03:09,639
It's not
the last time, Ruth.

693
01:03:10,641 --> 01:03:12,517
They offered me a bed.

694
01:03:12,601 --> 01:03:14,978
I was planning on
staying the night anyway.

695
01:03:15,187 --> 01:03:16,813
Well.

696
01:03:41,755 --> 01:03:44,257
RUTH: I always knew
you'd be a good carer.

697
01:03:44,717 --> 01:03:46,843
Your donors
are very lucky.

698
01:03:52,224 --> 01:03:55,310
Look, I was lying
awake last night

699
01:03:55,394 --> 01:03:58,354
and I suddenly had
an idea that we'd take
a trip together.

700
01:03:58,564 --> 01:04:00,356
Where to?

701
01:04:00,858 --> 01:04:03,735
I hadn't much thought
of where, just a trip.

702
01:04:08,115 --> 01:04:09,699
Although

703
01:04:11,285 --> 01:04:13,036
a place
did spring to mind.

704
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:15,622
One of the boys
on the other floor
was talking about it.

705
01:04:15,706 --> 01:04:17,540
It's near the
Kingsfield Recovery Center.

706
01:04:18,042 --> 01:04:21,544
Is it the boat?
The one left
on the beach?

707
01:04:21,670 --> 01:04:23,254
You've heard
about it, too?

708
01:04:23,339 --> 01:04:25,882
I heard.
One of the carers
who worked there.

709
01:04:29,094 --> 01:04:30,845
And do you suppose,

710
01:04:31,889 --> 01:04:35,099
if we're driving
all that way,

711
01:04:35,851 --> 01:04:38,144
that we could
call in on Tommy?

712
01:04:40,272 --> 01:04:41,648
(CHUCKLING)

713
01:04:42,358 --> 01:04:45,318
Told you I'd been
keeping tabs on you.

714
01:04:47,029 --> 01:04:48,446
Have you seen him?

715
01:04:49,698 --> 01:04:51,032
No, not since
The Cottages.

716
01:04:52,076 --> 01:04:53,701
No, neither have I.

717
01:04:59,833 --> 01:05:01,334
RUTH: How will
we find him?

718
01:05:01,418 --> 01:05:04,087
KATHY: His carer said
he'd be waiting outside.

719
01:05:20,938 --> 01:05:22,438
Look, there he is.

720
01:05:29,321 --> 01:05:32,532
Do you think
he's recognized us
through the glass?

721
01:05:34,785 --> 01:05:36,619
No, no, no.

722
01:05:36,704 --> 01:05:38,705
Let's not get out.

723
01:05:55,389 --> 01:05:56,556
KATHY: Ruth's
in the car.

724
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:57,807
Oh, right.

725
01:05:57,933 --> 01:05:59,308
Hey!

726
01:05:59,768 --> 01:06:01,144
Hi!

727
01:06:02,646 --> 01:06:03,980
Hi.
Hi.

728
01:06:04,314 --> 01:06:05,356
(CHUCKLES)

729
01:06:05,441 --> 01:06:06,482
How are you?

730
01:06:06,567 --> 01:06:07,650
RUTH: I'm good.

731
01:06:07,985 --> 01:06:09,193
Look at your hair.

732
01:06:09,278 --> 01:06:10,987
TOMMY: Oh, yeah.
My hair.

733
01:06:15,951 --> 01:06:17,285
(CHUCKLES)

734
01:06:19,413 --> 01:06:21,748
I can't quite believe
that I have you both here.

735
01:06:24,793 --> 01:06:26,377
Does it feel to you
that we're back
at Hailsham again?

736
01:06:26,462 --> 01:06:28,755
Like no time
has passed?

737
01:06:29,381 --> 01:06:30,465
No, it doesn't.

738
01:06:30,549 --> 01:06:31,841
TOMMY: No, it doesn't
at all, does it?

739
01:06:32,259 --> 01:06:35,011
It really doesn't at all.
It's really weird.

740
01:06:35,137 --> 01:06:36,763
But a good weird, I think.

741
01:06:41,643 --> 01:06:45,188
I don't suppose you both heard
that Hailsham was closed?

742
01:06:47,775 --> 01:06:51,027
The only schools left now,
you hear
they're like battery farms.

743
01:06:52,071 --> 01:06:53,696
Like Morningdale.

744
01:06:54,156 --> 01:06:57,200
I'm sure that's
an exaggeration, though.

745
01:06:59,328 --> 01:07:01,537
Are you sure
we're going
the right way?

746
01:07:17,721 --> 01:07:19,222
It's locked,
it looks like.

747
01:07:20,140 --> 01:07:21,641
No one said
anything about this.

748
01:07:21,725 --> 01:07:23,476
No one said anything
about a locked gate.

749
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:26,395
Ruth, just relax.
It's okay.

750
01:07:35,072 --> 01:07:36,906
Can walk through here.

751
01:08:04,935 --> 01:08:05,977
Wow.

752
01:08:19,449 --> 01:08:21,576
Hey, come on.

753
01:08:42,055 --> 01:08:43,306

(GASPING)

755
01:08:53,359 --> 01:08:54,693
(COUGHING)

756
01:09:09,209 --> 01:09:12,336
TOMMY:
I wonder if that's what
Hailsham looks like now.

757
01:09:14,964 --> 01:09:17,925
Do you ever hear, Kath,
about any of the students
from Hailsham?

758
01:09:18,009 --> 01:09:19,927
Sometimes, yeah.

759
01:09:21,429 --> 01:09:26,391
I heard that
Amanda completed
on her first donation.

760
01:09:27,018 --> 01:09:30,103
I think that happens
more than they ever tell us.

761
01:09:30,188 --> 01:09:31,188
TOMMY: Hmm.

762
01:09:31,272 --> 01:09:35,067
Yeah, there was this
guy at my care center

763
01:09:35,193 --> 01:09:40,197
who was always really
scared of completing
on his first donation.

764
01:09:41,407 --> 01:09:43,200
But it was all fine.

765
01:09:43,284 --> 01:09:46,203
And he's just
come through
his third one now,

766
01:09:46,829 --> 01:09:49,706
and he's completely
all right.

767
01:09:54,837 --> 01:09:56,964
It's funny,
I don't think...

768
01:09:58,049 --> 01:10:00,133
Well, I know
I wouldn't have been
a very good carer,

769
01:10:00,218 --> 01:10:02,261
but in a way
I actually think
I'm quite a good donor.

770
01:10:02,345 --> 01:10:05,055
(SNICKERS) That's what
we're supposed to be,
isn't it?

771
01:10:17,610 --> 01:10:19,236
I'd like you
to forgive me.

772
01:10:21,864 --> 01:10:23,657
I don't expect
you to.

773
01:10:24,242 --> 01:10:25,367
Forgive you
for what?

774
01:10:32,667 --> 01:10:35,002
For keeping you
and Tommy apart.

775
01:10:38,881 --> 01:10:42,175
Should have been
you two together,
I always knew it.

776
01:10:42,260 --> 01:10:44,511
As far back
as I can remember.

777
01:10:46,514 --> 01:10:49,933
It wasn't just
because of the rumors
about deferrals.

778
01:10:54,397 --> 01:10:56,606
It was because
I was jealous.

779
01:10:59,193 --> 01:11:03,322
You had real love
and I didn't,

780
01:11:07,118 --> 01:11:10,454
and I didn't want to be
the one that was left alone.

781
01:11:21,591 --> 01:11:23,258
It's the worst thing
I ever did.

782
01:11:27,805 --> 01:11:30,140
And now I want
to put it right.

783
01:11:30,516 --> 01:11:32,225
I don't know
how you can
do that, Ruth.

784
01:11:32,727 --> 01:11:34,144
I can

785
01:11:35,646 --> 01:11:37,314
if you two
get a deferral.

786
01:11:38,316 --> 01:11:40,484
It's too late
for that, Ruth.

787
01:11:40,985 --> 01:11:43,820
Way too late.
It's stupid to even
think about it.

788

It isn't too late.
Look, you'll see,
both of you.

789
01:11:48,951 --> 01:11:53,497
I wanted to do this trip
because I had something
that I wanted to give you.

790
01:11:54,957 --> 01:11:56,833
It's Madame's address.

791

That's who you apply to.
That's who you have to
go and see.

How did you
get this?

793
01:12:09,764 --> 01:12:13,558
It wasn't easy,
but I've had years
to think about what I did.

794
01:12:13,810 --> 01:12:18,188
And years to try and work out
a way to make it right.

795
01:13:03,234 --> 01:13:06,445

them when we were
at The Cottages.

The day after
we went to find
Ruth's Possible.

797
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:12,159
I realized that
if I was ever going to
apply for a deferral,

798
01:13:12,243 --> 01:13:14,494
then I'd have to
show them something.

799
01:13:15,913 --> 01:13:18,915
And I've done
hundreds of them
over the years.

800
01:13:20,460 --> 01:13:22,127
They're wonderful.

801
01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:24,421

01:13:24,672 --> 01:13:26,089

you didn't understand
what I was doing.

811
01:14:02,043 --> 01:14:04,169
No, I don't think
she understood
what you were doing.

812
01:14:04,337 --> 01:14:06,338
She thought
you were looking
at the dirty pictures

813
01:14:06,422 --> 01:14:08,965
in order
to find out about sex

(SIGHING)

you were missing out
on or something.

I knew you were looking
for your Original.

818
01:14:27,193 --> 01:14:30,987
I used to have
these huge urges
to have sex sometimes.

819
01:14:31,989 --> 01:14:34,533
And sometimes
they'd be so powerful,

820
01:14:35,076 --> 01:14:36,993
I just thought
I'd do it with anyone.

821
01:14:39,497 --> 01:14:42,332
So I thought that
had to tell me something.

822
01:14:42,458 --> 01:14:45,252
Something about
the kind of person
I was modeled on.

823
01:14:47,672 --> 01:14:49,339
It's stupid,

824
01:14:50,925 --> 01:14:54,010
but I guessed the magazines
would be the most likely
place I'd find her.

825
01:14:56,180 --> 01:14:57,931
You know those urges
are natural, don't you?

826
01:14:58,015 --> 01:15:01,560

really do any art,

KATHY: It's been two weeks
since I lost him.

944
01:34:55,006 --> 01:34:57,215
I've been given my notice now.

945
01:35:01,053 --> 01:35:03,722
My first donation
is in a month's time.

946
01:35:12,398 --> 01:35:15,650
I come here and imagine
that this is the spot

947
01:35:15,735 --> 01:35:19,654
where
everything I've lost since
my childhood has washed up.

948
01:35:23,618 --> 01:35:26,953
I tell myself
if that were true,

949
01:35:27,789 --> 01:35:30,123
and I waited long enough,

950
01:35:31,209 --> 01:35:35,086
then a tiny figure
would appear on the horizon
across the field

951
01:35:35,254 --> 01:35:39,216
and gradually get larger
until I'd see it was Tommy.

952
01:35:42,261 --> 01:35:43,845
He'd wave

953
01:35:44,305 --> 01:35:46,181
and maybe call.

954
01:35:48,518 --> 01:35:51,561
I don't let the fantasy
go beyond that.

955
01:35:51,771 --> 01:35:53,104
I can't let it.

956
01:35:55,233 --> 01:35:59,236
I remind myself
I was lucky to have had
any time with him at all.

957
01:36:03,783 --> 01:36:06,034
What I'm not sure about

958
01:35:50,914 --> 01:35:55,500
is if our lives have been
so different from the lives
of the people we save.

959
01:36:14,085 --> 01:36:16,002
We all complete.

960
01:36:18,464 --> 01:36:22,175
Maybe none of us
really understand
what we've lived through

961
01:36:24,136 --> 01:36:26,680
or feel we've had
enough time.
