Just do it." " How's your tummy?" " I'll live." "What were you looking for in Stanton House?" "I found this in the back shed yesterday." "My mum wrote it when she gave me away." ""If there was any way that I could keep you, I would, but I've got nothing." "Sorry, darling Maggie." "You might not ever read this but I will always love you."" "Maggie." "Is that you?" "Never got told I was adopted." "Annie, um, before..." "before you go in, I..." "Oh, no, tell me in a minute." "I'm cold." "Hello." "How was your night?" "Yeah, it was good." "Yeah, we saw a movie." "Deanna's been very good." "Barely a peep." " I'll take her." " Yeah." "How's your new place going?" "Small, but I can walk to the hospital." " We should pay you." " I don't want money." "Thanks." " Of all people, Chris." " She was available and she was keen." " She told me that Deanna was dead." " I know." "Why didn't you say something?" "Because then you wouldn't have come and we wouldn't have had a great time." "She's my mother." "I am..." "While we are together, she is gonna be a part of our lives somehow." "Morning, Maggie." "Took me a while but I finally worked it out." "XJ-3506 is a Lithgow number." "I spoke to your mother." "She's not my real mother." "She said you ran away two days ago." "I had to." "When I found the letter." " I feel sick." " Whiskey'll do that." "You need fluids." "This'll help." "Give me your arm." "Is that a tattoo?" "What does "ILWA" mean?" "None of your business."

"Thank you." "Hey." "Hey." "Hey, James." "Hey." "Come here." "Come on." "He seems restless." " He didn't get much sleep last night." " Again?" "It's hard getting him down in the residents' quarters." "Yeah, it's rough on him." "What time are you getting out tomorrow?" "My bail's been refused." "They can't." "It was approved." "What does your lawyer say?" "I gave him the arse, he was hopeless." "Jim!" "You have wasted weeks in here." "You have got to get out and organise a defence." "If I get an appeal lodged at the district court by this afternoon," "I might get another hearing next week." "How are you going to do that without a lawyer?" "It can be done." "Alright." "Tell me what to do." " Have you got time?" " I'll make time." "I need you." "I need you." "Dr McNaughton." "I... wanted to talk to you about moving out of the hospital." "No, residents have to be on call, you know that." "I know that but I can't care for a baby in the residents' quarters anymore." "Well, when your husband gets bail, you won't have to." "He's not getting bail." " Oh." " I don't know when he'll be out." "I'm sorry to hear that." "Can't you make an exception to the residents' rules, please?" "It's not up to me, that's a board decision." "Are there any women on the board?" "There's a vacant position on the board right now if you want to apply." "No, thanks." "I'll speak to the chairman." "Thank you, I'd appreciate that." "It's unworkable." "Of course."

"Bye, Mum." "Bye, Mums." "Busy morning, Sir?" "Uh, yes." "In a good way, I hope." "What can I do for you, Matron?" "I was hoping you might nominate me for the vacant staff position on the hospital board." " You don't qualify." " I've worked here for 20 years." "Sir, I want Stanton House reopened." "If I'm on the board, I can lobby for..." "Frances, you're only a nurse." "Do you know where all the old Stanton House records went?" "Went to welfare, why?" "The girl that we found in Stanton House last night, she's looking for her birth mum." " Hey, Martha." "I'm off at 4:00." "Let's go out." " Goodo." " Where's he gonna live now?" " With his dad." "Wow." "There's an admission of failure." "In here, your kind donations have bought us a Doppler machine." "Wonderful technology." "And this is the nursery." "Shh." "Where our newborns stay." " And our abandoned babies." " Abandoned?" "Yes, I'm afraid we get quite a few of those, especially since Stanton House was closed." "Nowhere for the mothers to go, you see." "These three at the front, they will be made wards of the state." " Not adopted?" " There are more babies than people who want them and our adoption program was shut, along with Stanton House." "How much would it cost to open it again?" " Are we eating?" "I'm..." "I'm starving." " I think your wife was asking a..." "Matron." "Would you sign an acquisition form to get some old adoption records?" " What for?" " A girl came in last night" " looking for her birth mother..." " It's against the law to give out that information." "You told me where my twins are." "And I have deeply regretted that moment of stupidity ever since." "I spoke to the chairman about the residency rules and I'm afraid he's gonna be hard to shift." "He's old-school." "Joan?" "Are you in pain?" "I'm fine." "Let me look at you." "No." "No." "If I don't get this bail application in on time..." " Okay, let's get you on the bed." " Jim won't get bail." " Okay." "Come on." " Ahh..." " The x-ray is inconclusive." " Here, let me see it." " I want to go in and have a look." " No, no, no." "No, I have to get this application in on time." " You know about laparoscopy?" " Uh, yep." "Keyhole surgery." " Good." "You'll be assisting." " Oh, this is my last day." "Keyhole surgery's a new thing, don't you think someone else should probably..." "Until 4:00 this afternoon, you'll do as you're told." "Acute infection of the fallopian tubes." "Looks bad." "Can you fix it?" "Not with surgery." "I don't need to remind you, the identity of the patient is confidential." " Understood?" " Yes, Sir, of course." " What's it called?" " Laparoscopy." "Half an hour from go to whoa." " It's amazing." " Still, sounds horrible." "Yeah, all surgery's horrible." "Guess what, never have to look at it again." "Martha." "Give us one of those acquisition forms for the Stanton House records." " Who's gonna sign it?" " Matron." " Really?" " Cross my heart." "You're gonna forge her signature, aren't you?" "Hey, where do you want to go?" "You name it, we'll do it." "You're not allowed in here." "Oh, I'm sorry." "I... just wanted to have another quick look." "What do you know about these abandoned babies?" "They come to us with nothing, no names." "This one was left naked in a shoebox." " So sad." " Yes." "I asked my husband if he'd pay to reopen your girls' home." "He said no." "Well... thank you for asking." "But, he'd be happy to adopt." "He said that." "He's always wanted a son." "Would you like a hold?" "He can be yours if you want." "Really?" "Just like that?" "Better off with you than in an orphanage." "If you and your husband want to keep him," "I'll make sure the paperwork happens." "In return, perhaps you could just ask your husband to suggest my name as staff appointee on the board?" "No more 10pm starts, no more hospital food at all hours." "No more women screaming, "Get it out of me"" " No more job." " Eh, no big deal." "I'll find something." "You can't change horses mid-stream if you don't have another horse." "One door closes, another window opens." "The saying goes, "One door closes, another door opens."" "They're both doors." "Great, two doors." " Guess what I see through the second door." " What?" "Thee and me." "Let's get married." "It's not completely stupid." "Is it?" "Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Allure 1970!" "Viv's friend won the beauty pageant." "Think she looks as good as that in real life?" "We'll find out tomorrow night." "New boss booked her for an appearance." "That's smart." "Wish I had thought of it." "The lock on that back door is rooted." "I want it fixed." "You know what?" "I get the feeling he's waiting for me to have a good idea," " otherwise he'll sack me." " You're paranoid." "Well, it doesn't mean it's not true." " I have to get to the court." " Too late for that." "You need to relax." "It's penicillin." "You had acute salpingitis." " My fallopian tubes?" " Yes." "But both are still intact." "So how... infertile am I?" "If you were a betting man, what are the odds?" "Not good." "But never say never." "Knock, knock." "What are you doing?" "Get back into bed." " I have to get James." " Bed." "I had a look at your work." "Very impressive." "Only two stitches." "Well, I hope you put the dressing back." "Laparoscopy, eh?" "Could really catch on." "You know, if you're not gonna continue the IV antibiotics, you'll need to take tablets." " Fine." " Please stay and rest." "You know, there's some pretty great developments in reproductive technology." " It may help you in the future." " You've got good hands, thank you." "And then you went to dinner and you didn't say a word about how he just proposed to you?" "I was in shock." "I..." "I think you are strange." "I mean, why wouldn't a girl like you wanna marry a doctor?" " A girl like me?" " Yeah." "You've always said that you want to be happy and comfortable." " He can give you that." " He's not a doctor anymore." "He quit." "Oh, well, he can be a different kind of doctor, can't he?" " That's not the problem." " What is the problem?" "He's just had everything handed to him, all his life." "That's not his fault." "Do you love him?" "I dunno why but I thought you'd understand." "Joan speaking." "Prisoners' service, connecting Jim Marsh." "Hey, it's me." "How'd you go?" "I didn't get there in time." "Jim." " I'm here." " I'm really sorry." "It's Okay." "I can try to get your documents in today." "Courts don't open again until Tuesday." "Jim..." "I'm so sorry." "You shouldn't have to do it anyway." "I'll have to find another lawyer." "Hey, talk to me about somethin' else." " D'you have any news?" " Yes." "Next." "Dr Millar?" "How long does the train take from Lithgow?" "Uh, four hours but I couldn't get one yesterday." "Viv, this is Denise Prentis, Maggie's mother." " Oh, hello." " Thank you for calling me." "Where is she?" "Maggie, I'm sorry I never showed you that letter." "I always meant to, I... just couldn't find the right time." "You had 15 years' worth of chances." "Maggie..." "I just want us to fi..." "I could pretend everything's great, but it won't be." "You'll never be my mother." "Never." "Her birth mother named her Maggie." "Not Margaret, Maggie." "She was very clear about that in the letter so that's what we did." "I'm sure that means a lot." "We tried to do everything right." "We treated her like she was our own." "We kept the whole thing secret, just like we were told." "Well, now the secret's out." "Deal with it." "Talk about it." "I need to walk." "You should lay off the grog when you get outta here." "Alcoholic poisoning isn't good, take it from me." "The doctor gave me that lecture already." "When are you leaving?" "Tonight, I guess." "Chug, chug, chug, back to Lithgow." "If I find out anything about your birth mum, I'll call you." "Can't believe I've spent two days in here and the most exciting street in Australia's just there." "I felt the same way when I got here." "And I saw Mick Jagger." " For real?" " Yep." "If I take you out for half an hour, will you promise to be good?" " It's so pretty!" " Maggie!" "Maggie, what are you doing?" "My dad said if you skip around a fountain the first time you see it, you'll get anything you wish for." "What did you wish for?" "Same as always, 100 more wishes." "We can't stay long and we can't drink anything." "Ladies and gentlemen, please make very welcome Miss Allure Cosmetics 1970." "She's beautiful." "Nah, she's a scrag." "Her name's Bonnie Crouch." " Hi, Bonnie." " You can't bring a kid in here." "Only for a tic." " Out." " Five minutes." " Now, or I'll have a bouncer throw you out." " No way." "Shirl!" "Out you go." "That was the coolest." "Let's go back in." "Uh-uh." "You have to eat and I have to get you back." "The smell of food makes me wanna vomit." "All food?" " How long's this been going on?" " Dunno, a few weeks." " You're not pregnant, are you?" " No." " Have you missed a period?" " What's that got to do with it?" "Maggie, look at me." "Have you had sex in the last couple of months?" "Look, my mum told me I couldn't get pregnant till I was married." "I'm not married, so..." "How long have you been sexually active?" "Maggie, if you can help me figure out how pregnant you are," "I can tell you a lot more about what's happening to your body." "I dunno." "How many sexual partners have you had?" "One." "He might want to know." "Would you like to be with me when I speak with your mother?" "Don't tell her, please." "I don't think I want a baby." "I have to." "Maggie, she's your mother." " She's not!" " Legally, she is." "Listen, if you and your mother decide you don't want to keep the baby, that's possible." "You could finish school, set your sights on whatever you want." "Is there anything you'd like to ask me?" "I don't wanna get fat." "Is it still early enough to get rid of it?" "I... don't know how pregnant she is." "But there is a blood test I can do that will be more accurate." "Yes, please." "Terminations aren't performed here." "But there are other hospitals." "It can be done safely." "Can you keep her here another night?" "Yes, if you like." "Who's the father?" "She wouldn't say." "I told her over and over, boys will take advantage." "What am I gonna do?" "Support her." "Tell her you love her." "What if I don't?" "Maybe she'll always just be someone else's kid." " Hi." " Jim." "Baba." " Jim." "My god." " No, don't worry about that." "If they meant to do serious damage, they would've." "Here, sit down." "Oh." "Hey, you said you had some news." "What's your news?" " James has two new teeth." " Does he?" "At the back, both sides." "Viv!" "Viv!" "I lost the letter from my mum!" "When did you last have it?" "Yesterday." "I've looked everywhere." "Someone's taken it." " I'll see if it's been handed in." " It's the only important thing I own." "Relax." "We will find it." "And, I might have some information on your real mum, too." " How?" " No promises but I'll let you know." "Hey." "I came to see you yesterday, you weren't here." "I was out a lot yesterday." "I don't mind if you take more time." "I don't need more time." "Simon..." "I'm sorry." "I don't want to marry someone born with a million opportunities who just gives up." " Martha, has the mail come in?" " Yeah, um..." "Vivian?" ""Dear Matron Bolton, thank you for your enquiry but we are unable to make adoption information regarding Maggie Prentis available to you."" "A medical career requires application, Bowditch." "Yeah, I have that, Sir." "I do." "And if you let me come back to obstetrics, I'll prove it." "I'll repeat..." " When did you change your bloody mind?" " Ah, just... not long ago, actually." "I know that makes me look indecisive..." " For laparoscopy." " Sorry?" "You saw the laparoscopy and decided you want to be part of the future." "That's right, Sir." "You're an inspiration, Sir." "Leave it with me." "There's a board meeting here in a few minutes." "I know." "Haven't you heard?" "I'm the new staff rep on the board." "Who would've thought?" "Just a nurse." "These chairs are comfortable, aren't they?" "Shirley!" "Shirl, I need you to do something." "I have to get to work..." "Just listen." "You know the girl I came to the club with last night?" " She lost a letter from her birth mother..." " Viv." "No, it's important." "It's about half a page, written in pencil." "It says that she wants her daughter to be called Maggie and that she loves her." " How old is she?" " Um, 15." "Can you please look?" "Thanks." "Maggie dear." "Give me your hand." "I have some difficult news." "I'm afraid your mother won't be taking you home today." "These policemen are here to take you to the Turramurra girls' home." " No!" "I'm not going back there!" " I'm sorry..." " No!" "No, I'm not going back there!" "No!" "Please!" "No!" " Viv!" "Viv!" "Please!" " What's happening?" " She's been declared a girl in moral danger." "Her mother's made her a ward of the state." "But, her mother adopted her, she can't just give her up again." " Let me go!" "Please, no!" "Let me go!" " Maggie!" "Maggie!" "They're taking me to Turramurra." "Don't let them!" "Please let her go." "Stop!" "Let her go!" "Officer, please."
