One Life

Hope you enjoy the show

Home.

Although it'll start off

with some sunshine in the morning,

you'll find cloud coming along in the afternoon.

That's all, have a lovely day.

BBC News, and good day.

Just 24 hours after what many are calling Black Monday,

the FTSE 100 Index lost another 250 points,

leaving businesses and investors reeling.

Well, that's what happens when you deregulate.

Global markets have rallied somewhat

after yesterday's losses which saw Wall Street close

a full 508 points down. - Idiots.

Supporters and families of Tamil migrants

have gathered outside a London refugee detention centre

to protest against the government's plan

to deport them.

We came here because in our country

our lives are in danger.

We came to keep our children safe.

A Home Office spokesman described

Britain's humanitarian record as outstanding.

We'll have a report.

Grete: Hello, darling.

I was worried this would be...

Huh? - ...burnt on top.

You all right?

Nicky: What? - What's that?

Well, what does it look like? It's a button.

A button? - Yes.

Somebody just, uh, put it in the tin.

Honestly. People.

Well, you never know when it may come in handy.

Hm.

Grete: Oh.

Nicky: Oh, hello. - Grete: What have you got now?

Oh, it's a typewriter.

I know what it is, but you've already got one.

I know. It's not for me. It's, um...

They don't need it anymore at the day centre,

so I thought it would be all right

for the new care home.

And, uh, we can hang on to it in the meanwhile.

No. - Huh?

No.

Why? Uh, I've also got a desk outside.

What? Where? - Well, I haven't brought it in yet but...

Oh, Nicky. It's too much. - What?

How will we fit everyone in at Christmas?

I don't know.

They'll just have to shove up, won't they?

Your daughter is seven months pregnant.

I know. - She cannot "shove up".

All right.

Well, I'll move it all to the study then.

Oh, the study.

I bet you have plenty of room in the study.

God. - Let's go and check the study.

Oh, Nicky. - Nicky: Out.

Do you still need all this?

Yes. Why?

What... What's in all these drawers?

Well, everything I think. - Grete: Darling.

A domino, a biscuit

and how many rubber bands does one man need?

I don't know. I've never asked the question.

And you've got to find the right home for that.

Somewhere it will be appreciated.

Please, Nicky,

you have to let go.

For your own sake.

Oh, I'm so looking forward to it.

Barbara: Do you want me to stay with him?

No, no. No, he'll be fine.

Barbara: Okay, well, maybe I'll just call him.

Yes. Yes. He's a grown man.

You don't have to wave me off.

Of course I'm going to wave you off.

Grete: Everyone's here.

Ah.

Huh.

Nicky: Hm.

Nicky,

don't let yourself get...

What?

How you get.

I won't. Of course I won't.

You have a wonderful time.

Home. - Babi: Ah, Nicky.

You missed Martin. - Damn.

Babi: Two hearts. Kings.

Uh, hello. Did Martin say if he'd call back?

Seven o'clock sharp.

Nicky: Oh.

Thank you, mother. You're very welcome, son.

Bernard: Isn't Martin the chap he was supposed to be going skiing with?

Yes. But Martin is in Prague now,

helping refugees.

Bernard: Prague?

Well, precisely.

Hello? - It's Martin.

Can you hear me? Nicky? - I... I can hear you.

It's a terrible line. - I can hear you.

Listen, I'm not sure you should come.

No, it's all arranged. I have my ticket.

I have to leave Prague tonight.

I'll have a man called Trevor Chadwick meet you.

I'm so sorry. It's just such a mess here.

Happy Christmas.

So, you going?

I am, yes.

Everyone in Prague is trying to get out.

My son is trying to get in.

Did you speak to Martin?

I did. Uh, turns out he's not gonna be there.

He's escorting some refugees out of the country

and then he's heading back home to London.

Nicky. - Look, I have to do something.

It... Is...

And you, of all people, should understand that.

Isn't that what you taught me?

Well, I can't just sit here reading about it.

These people need help.

I was never in doubt that the cause was just,

only whether Prague is safe.

It's only a week.

Uh, I'll be back before you even miss me.

Nicky, it's not a joke.

I know, I know.

I'm sorry, but I...

I have to go.

Here we are.

Rudi: Mr Chadwick. - This is Mr Winton.

Rudi: Evening. - Now, don't go giving him

a better room than me.

All our rooms are the best rooms, Mr Chadwick.

Rudi takes good care of us.

Welcome. And Miss Warriner is in the bar.

Oh, that's Doreen

with one of our refugees.

Over here.

Her husband was picked up

on the street this morning.

Picked up by?

Doreen thinks Nazi spies doing Hitler's dirty work.

What will happen? To him, I mean.

Ah, thank you, thank you.

He'll be dumped somewhere.

Maybe alive,

but probably not.

Doreen: You're Martin's friend, the stockbroker.

Nicky. And you must be, uh... - Unbelievably angry.

Trevor: So? - Doreen: We've managed to get

Monika into a safe house for the night

and her daughter on the plane out tomorrow.

Trevor: Well, that's something.

So, Martin says you know your way around a desk.

That's quite an accolade.

Doreen: It is here. Paperwork's everything.

And can I just ask, um,

why... why was that woman's husband taken?

He ran a newspaper in Germany.

Spoke out against the Nazis.

When it got too dangerous,

they escaped over the border into Czechoslovakia.

The Sudetenland. - Where they thought

they'd be safe.

Doreen: And so they fled to Prague.

All right, I've got a lot to do.

Taking supplies to the camps tomorrow.

I could use your help.

Can I ask what brought you out here?

I came 10 years ago for a study trip.

I just... just love the place, love the people.

Now they're in trouble. So I came back.

Nicky: Are they all from the Sudetenland?

Doreen: Mostly.

Some from Austria and Germany who fled there first.

Drive an hour north of here, towards the German border,

you'll see the towns they ran from

hung with Nazi flags.

Nicky: Dear God.

Doreen: I know. And there are thousands more like this.

Ahoj, Hana. This is Nicholas Winton.

He's here to help out.

Nicky: Oh.

Hana Hejdukova. Liaison officer for Czech refugees.

Hello. - Your first time

in Czechoslovakia? - Yes, yes, it... Yes, it is.

Shame you didn't come sooner. When there was more of it.

Doreen: Hana.

Um, can you get the others?

Nicky: Oh, there we go.

So, you've managed to get doctors out to them?

Doreen: Oh, plenty of doctors already here.

Lots of these children grew up thinking the worst thing

that was ever gonna happen to them was piano practice.

Nicky.

Hello.
