You ain't told me that before.

We've got a lot to be thankful for.
:00:12
- Yes, we have.
- I have.

:00:17
For one thing, you ain't turned out
nothing like your mother.

:00:21
She can't help it.
:00:24
Did you ever ask her who
your dad was in the end?

:00:27
No.
:00:31
lf I'd have been 11
and not 12 when Mom died,

:00:34
I'd have had to go
in an orphanage, like Frank.

:00:36
l know. You went straight out to work.
:00:38
l had to fend for meself, didn't l?
:00:40
- Still. lt did you no harm.
- Ah, well.

:00:44
- Look at everything you got now.
- Yes.

:00:48
I'm a lucky man.
:00:53
You telephoned for an ambulance this afternoon,
:00:55
- is that right?
- Yes.

:00:57
Now, why did you do that?
:00:58
She was having a miscarriage, weren't she?
:01:00
- A miscarriage.
- Yes.

:01:02
Mr. Walsh has told us that somebody
came round to your house

:01:05
to perform an operation on your daughter.
:01:07
Well, there you are,
Mr. Walsh just told you.

:01:08
Doctors know everything.
why don't you ask him?

:01:10
l want to hear it from you, Mrs. Barnes.
:01:12
He's the one what phoned you.
l never phoned you.

:01:14
lt ain't got nothing to do with me.
:01:15
Keep your voice down, Mrs. Barnes.
:01:18
Who was it that performed this operation?
:01:22
A woman.
:01:24
- Do you know her name?
- No.

:01:25
How did you get in touch with this woman?
:01:28
l don't know. You just ask about.
:01:30
- Who did you ask?
- People at work.

:01:32
Where do you work, Mrs. Barnes?
:01:34
Allied Laundries--Clerkenwell Road.
:01:35
- Who did you talk to at work?
- What does it matter now?

:01:37
Your daughter's just nearly died, Mrs. Barnes.
:01:43
lt would be in your best interests.
:01:48
You do realize this is a criminal matter.
:01:53
All right.
