3. The Prodigal Son
Episode 3 of 5
Searching for Martin's birth mother, Laura is suspicious over falsified records. She contacts a woman who may be her. From 2022.
Laura McDaid held her ex's hand as he died at the Dignitas Clinic.
17 years later, she's begun a search to fulfil his last request: to find his birth mother and pass on a message.
As the search intensifies, Laura speaks to a Bessborough survivor who tells her that she suspects records were deliberately falsified at the institution.
As Laura makes contact with a woman she think's could be Martin's mother, a chance phone call could change everything.
