Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,600
MATURE JENNIFER: Some pleasures
are simpler than others.
2
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,376
The high, bright sky
of a brand-new day.
3
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:33,616
CAT MEOWS
4
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,280
The affection of friends.
5
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,456
Serving others.
6
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:42,240
Giving to others.
7
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,320
Belonging with others.
8
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,176
And knowing, at
last, that a prize
9
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,520
may be within our grasp.
10
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,856
SHE SIGHS My first
event as mayor!
11
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,216
I want it to be
12
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,656
a wonderful seaside
experience for everyone.
13
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,016
It'll be absolutely
smashing, Vi.
14
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,816
I can't wait. Bit of relaxation.
15
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,136
There'll be no relaxing
for you, Fred Buckle.
16
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,496
You're the mayor's consort!
17
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,816
Now, the coach company
still needs paying
18
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,656
and... we mustn't forget prizes!
19
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,856
Prizes? For what?
20
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,456
The sandcastle competition.
21
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,336
Now where are you going? Oh!
22
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:37,776
To distribute invitations
23
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,456
and to drum up support
from local businesses.
24
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,520
Who could refuse
such a worthy cause?
25
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,760
From you? Not many.
26
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,016
MAN: Morning.
27
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,800
SHE CLEARS HER THROAT
28
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,760
WOMAN: Good morning.
29
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:03,456
Hello, everyone.
30
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,376
Now, mayor's excursion!
31
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,176
All are welcome,
32
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,800
but spaces are limited.
33
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,400
CHATTER, BABY CRIES
34
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,840
Mrs Webster?
35
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,256
Now, would you like a story
36
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,896
from Sister Monica Joan whilst
the nurse checks with the baby
37
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:30,240
in Mummy's tummy?
38
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:32,880
Oh, what a little dote!
39
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,240
In the cubicle.
40
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,976
I shan't tell you off
for chewing your nails.
41
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,736
That's not my job.
42
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,200
Though I can advise that they're
not particularly nourishing.
43
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:53,896
It's Miss Webster, by the way.
44
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:56,856
We're not married. Not yet.
45
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,136
I shall ask Miss Higgins to
amend your records accordingly.
46
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,800
I know what you're thinking.
47
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,096
Two children out of wedlock.
48
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,096
I've been a midwife
for over 45 years.
49
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,656
As shocking revelations go,
50
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,936
that's rather low on my list.
51
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,880
We did plan to get married
before we had Danielle, but
52
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:18,976
we used to row something awful,
53
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,576
so we went our separate
ways for a while.
54
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:22,936
Hopefully, that's it now.
55
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,936
Indeed.
56
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,216
You've got two
children to think of.
57
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,576
They need stability.
58
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,176
I know.
59
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,720
Neither of us had much of that.
60
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,016
Both grew up in
children's homes, see?
61
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,656
My ma died when I was
Danielle's age and.
62
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,880
Dad couldn't cope. That's what
it said in my notes anyway.
63
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,296
Melvin doesn't even know
what happened to his.
64
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,216
And now you've been blessed
with a family of your own.
65
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,016
This is a chance for both of you
66
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,416
to be the parents
you didn't have.
67
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,576
That's the thing, though. I
thought when you had kids,
68
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,296
that's when you became
like a proper adult, but
69
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,696
if I'm honest, I feel more
like Danielle's big sister
70
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:00,960
than her mother.
71
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,416
ENGINE OFF
72
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,200
DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES
73
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,016
I did it!
74
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,840
I knew you could! Yes! Yes!
75
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,456
Well done. Well done.
76
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,296
Hey! Er, wrong side!
77
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,736
Really? You trust me?
78
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,376
Of course! You just
passed your driving test!
79
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:32,720
SHE CHUCKLES
80
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,120
CHATTER
81
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,936
Welcome to the play scheme!
82
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,856
Please find a space to sit.
83
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,200
That's right.
84
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,360
Help yourselves to
squash and biscuits.
85
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,256
Danielle, stop it!
86
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:04,640
The man'll shout.
87
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,080
Oh, no, not at all. It's lovely
to see her enjoying herself.
88
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,776
The concept of play is very new
89
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,536
to a lot of these
disadvantaged families.
90
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,680
They may take a
while to warm up.
91
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,336
ENGINE OFF
92
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,456
Perhaps we could visit
a showroom later.
93
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,976
It might be a good idea
to build your confidence
94
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,296
before we rush to
buy another car.
95
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,800
To quote the examiner,
I am extremely assured.
96
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:44,016
Sir Matthew! Just the person!
97
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,896
Now, I don't know if you've
heard about my excursion.
98
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,016
Of course!
99
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,496
It's the talk of Poplar!
100
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,336
And I shall be driving.
I just passed my test!
101
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,256
Oh, congratulations!
102
00:05:54,280 --> 00:05:56,016
We're going to a showroom later!
103
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,096
Well, we didn't
actually agree on that.
104
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,696
How are preparations
going? Swimmingly.
105
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,976
Although there is something
of a shortfall with funds.
106
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,616
Since the Alderman Matchett
picnic fund fell by the wayside,
107
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,456
we're, erm, reliant
upon the philanthropy of
108
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,560
generous souls... like yourself?
109
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,776
Usually, I would be very...
He'd be delighted to help!
110
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,200
VIOLET GASPS
111
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,680
Sir Matthew, you are
a saint amongst men!
112
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,616
For anyone who hasn't already
attended these play sessions,
113
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,496
there are structured activities
such as singing and games,
114
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,920
but the most important
thing is to have fun!
115
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,696
Yay! Oh, and for those of you
who haven't already met him,
116
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,536
er, this is Mr Robinson,
117
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,216
our new child welfare officer.
118
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,376
Perhaps you'd like to
announce the excursion.
119
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,296
Exciting news.
120
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,976
Our mayor has organised a trip
to the seaside this Sunday!
121
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,576
Everybody's welcome! CHEERING.
122
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,576
Will there be food? Is it free?
123
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,336
If you can be
quiet for a moment,
124
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,200
we'll provide all the details.
125
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:12,536
I can't think of anything worse.
126
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,056
How can you say that?!
127
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,256
If it was Maracas Bay in
Trinidad, then count me in.
128
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,256
The last beach I went to
in England was so cold
129
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,576
I nearly developed hypothermia.
130
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,320
And the lucky ladies off
to the seaside are...
131
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:32,976
Nurse Highland!
132
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,280
And...
133
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,336
Nurse Clifford!
134
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,120
SHE GASPS
135
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,816
Why have you made me
a dress? LAUGHTER.
136
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,736
It's a changing cape,
Teddy, not a dress.
137
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,216
And you will get plenty
of use from it this summer
138
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,896
the mayor's trip
and a week in Devon.
139
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,376
Can we keep this on?
140
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,376
They don't have any arms! They're
for getting changed under...
141
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,000
DOORBELL RINGS ..not playing in!
142
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,816
That's it.
143
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:06,920
SHE GASPS
144
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:09,920
ALL: Timothy!
145
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,336
ANGELA: Are you
staying for long?
146
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,016
Yes, I'm home for the summer!
147
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,296
CHEERING
148
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,400
Oh! MAY: Are those for us?
149
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,616
I've been living off tinned
pineapple for two months
150
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,120
to get enough
tokens to get these.
151
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,736
It's a beach ball!
152
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,040
And a Lilo.
153
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,176
PATRICK: Here.
154
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,880
Oh, that's enough now.
It's almost bedtime! Oh...
155
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:40,776
Lindy Webster...
156
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,496
Young lass at clinic today
with her daughter Danielle.
157
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,336
You've visited them before
at home, haven't you?
158
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,816
Yes, I have.
159
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,296
And to put it mildly,
it was utterly chaotic.
160
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,496
There's a
vulnerability about her
161
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,256
that deeply concerns me.
162
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,696
Brought up in a children's home.
163
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,616
And I do worry that
without the right support,
164
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,320
it'll be a case of
history repeating itself.
165
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,296
Oh! No balloons,
thank you kindly.
166
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,616
Instructions from the mayor.
167
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,656
The convoy has to be
decorated uniformly,
168
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:23,456
or, erm
169
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,096
she'll have our
guts for garters.
170
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,480
That's right, Cubs. Use the
full length of the coach.
171
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,816
No jostling, now!
172
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,616
PHYLLIS: You two! With me!
173
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,336
Tout de suite!
174
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:37,880
Please, could you just...
175
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,320
In the back. No fighting.
176
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,016
Can I go in your car?
Please? That coach is chaos.
177
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,680
It's a case of muck and nettles
in my opinion, but hop in!
178
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,176
EXCITED CHATTER
179
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,120
Everybody in your seats, please!
180
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,216

00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,016
I had one with Danielle. It
took my mind off the pain.
361
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,256
She come out to Ballad
Of The Green Berets.
362
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,816
This baby will come out on the
floor if we're not careful!
363
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,216
RADIO PLAYS
364
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,256
Nine centimetres dilated.
Almost ready to push.
365
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,016
I feel like I want to push now!
366
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,496
Not yet. You'll be fully
dilated soon enough.
367
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:11,600
Then you can push.
368
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,016
You're doing beautifully!

00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,696

a pretty necklace!

379
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,936
Baby's head is

Nice and slowly.
383
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,576
Pant for me, like
this. SHE PANTS.
384
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,800
SHE PANTS
385
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,976
That's it. SHE CRIES OUT.
386
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,296
Baby's head is out.
387
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:08,856
SHE GROANS
388
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,056
One final push for me, Lindy.

SHE GROANS

00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,496
That's it. Keep going.

00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,456
SHE CRIES OUT

BABY CRIES
393
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,120
Did I do it?
394
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,776
You did indeed!
395
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,256
You've a beautiful little girl.
396
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,320
BABY CRIES
397
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:32,880
Congratulations.
398
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,616
Hello. BABY CRIES.
399
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:42,760
Hello.
400
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,136
BABY QUIETENS
401
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:00,776
She's perfect.
402
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:01,936
She is.
403
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,896
Do you have a name?
404
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,216
I have now.
405
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,176
Michelle.
406
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,240
Shell for short.
407
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,760
Because I went into
lab our at the seaside!
408
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,576
I dread to think what
would have happened
409
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,736
if it wasn't for
Joyce and Cyril.
410
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,616
We were very, very lucky.
411
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,216
Mm.
412
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,520
But we can't dwell
on the what-ifs.
413
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:29,920
I feel sick.
414
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,240
I diagnose too many iced buns.
415
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,400
My chest hurts.
416
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,120
Where, sweetheart?
417
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,320
Does it hurt when
you breathe in?
418
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,840
Let me have a listen.
419
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,360
Now, big deep
breaths, in and out.
420
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:54,696
That's it.
421
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:55,896
And again.
422
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,096
Good girl.
423
00:22:58,120 --> 00:22:59,656
It sounds clear.
424
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,176
It's probably coughing strain.
425
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,376
Sleep will be the best medicine.
426
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,696
Yes. It's well past
your bedtime. Oh!
427
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,816
HE LAUGHS Five more minutes.
428
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,080
And no more iced buns!
429
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,496
A present for you from
your new baby sister.
430
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,320
LAUGHTER AND LOUD VOICES
431
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,056
Hello, princess!
432
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,096
Our policy is one
visitor at a time!
433
00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:28,456
Who are these gentlemen?
434
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,696
Wouldn't call 'em
gentlemen. LAUGHTER.
435
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,016
Everybody out! Now!
436
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,200
This is a maternity
home, not a public house.
437
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,920
But the father may stay!
438
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,840
Ah, you've done it again, Lind.
Look at her. She's beautiful.
439
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,616
LINDY: Got your nose.
440
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,296
MELVIN: Oh, don't say that
in front of the poor girl.
441
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:08,760
BABY CRIES
442
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,016
TRICKLING
443
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,080
Nurse!
444
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,000
She's had an accident. Can
you sort it out, please?
445
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,296
A picnic buffet
supper. How wonderful!
446
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,096
We didn't want you to miss out,
so we brought the leftovers back!
447
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:29,096
And half the beach. DOOR OPENS.
448
00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:31,816
Oh, Nurse Crane, did you
manage to make it back in time?
449
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,680
By the skin of our teeth!
450
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,280
Mother and baby girl
both doing well.
451
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,736
If nobody minds, I'll
take these up with me.
452
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,096
I'm going to develop
my photographs
453
00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:47,376
in the bathroom. Now? Yes.
454
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,096
NANCY: I was hoping
for a bath before bed.
455
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:51,736
I've sand in places that
I never knew existed.
456
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,976
It won't take long, and
if I don't do it now,
457
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,600
I may never get round to it.
458
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,096
TV NEWS: This is the
second such demonstration
459
00:25:01,120 --> 00:25:03,536
in the Grosvenor Square area
in the past two weeks...
460
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,656
Shall we get her upstairs?
461
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,096
Let's leave her to sleep.
462
00:25:08,120 --> 00:25:09,896
I'll tuck a blanket round her.
463
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,456
And certainly the
largest gathering so far.
464
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,016
It is understood that several
arrests have been made,
465
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:17,736
and the Prime Minister has...
466
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,040
TV OFF
467
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,016
KNOCK ON DOOR
468
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,576
Don't open that door! The
photographs will be ruined!
469
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,040
NANCY: Are you nearly
done, Nurse Crane?
470
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,136
She's still not done.
471
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,336
Just use the outside bathroom.
472
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:43,736
Are you joking?
473
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,800
I'd rather be covered in sand
than spiders, thank you very much!
474
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,000
A sip of milk to
soothe your throat.
475
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,536
How's the patient?
476
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,080
Oh, definitely a lot worse
in the last couple of hours.
477
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,320
Hello, trouble.
478
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:03,920
Mind if I have a little listen?
479
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:18,976
Her chest is very rattly.
480
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,616
Her breathing's laboured.
481
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,120
Oh, perhaps I should
call your father.
482
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,456
I saw something in the
emergency ward during training.
483
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,696
A man was admitted after he'd
fallen from a fishing boat.
484
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,056
He had a very similar
presentation to May.
485
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,800
The diagnosis was
water aspiration.
486
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,136
I'm worried that it
could be the same.
487
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,056
But that happened yesterday.
488
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,776
And she was perfectly fine
just a few moments later.
489
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,536
Inflammation of the lungs can
show up after a few hours,
490
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,936
days even, after submersion.
491
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,976
That was the case
in the man I saw.
492
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,920
And was he all right?
493
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,600
We need to get May to
hospital immediately.
494
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,296
Everything is as we'd expect.
495
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,360
Tootsies fanning out nicely. And
496
00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:16,816
she's got good reflexes.
497
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,496
Long legs, too.
498
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:19,896
I reckon she could
be a ballerina.
499
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,056
That's what I always wanted
to be when I was little.
500
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,256
Maybe this one'll get the
chance that I never had.
501
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,816
Oh? Do you hear
that, twinkle toes?
502
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,056
I think we might be
503
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:33,016
seeing you on the stage with
Miss Nadine's dancing school.
504
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,056
LINDY CHUCKLES
505
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,616
Just a quick look at her
eyes now and then we're done.
506
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,480
We had some trouble with Danielle's
right eye when she was a baby.
507
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,096
It was sore and it made her cry.
508
00:27:43,120 --> 00:27:45,736
The poor little thing couldn't
tell us what was wrong.
509
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,200
Anyway, she hasn't had any
problems for a while now.
510
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:50,736
Hmm.
511
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,496
I'm just going to take her
512
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,376
into the other room.
513
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,320
I'll get a better look
where it's not so bright.
514
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:00,680
We won't be gone long.
515
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:04,560
Come back soon!
516
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,320
Mummy's going to miss you!
517
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,056
Time was we'd be reporting
ophthalmia neonatorum
518
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,280
to the authorities
on a weekly basis.
519
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,496
Any eye trouble's rare
in newborns these days.
520
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,776
It's the improvement in hygiene.
521
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,616
This is like a tiny spot,
522
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:26,896
right at the back.
523
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,480
But I can't be sure.
524
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,856
We'll have to keep
checking. KNOCK ON DOOR.
525
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,400
Timothy's on the
telephone for you, Doctor.
526
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,016
SIREN WAILS
527
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,640
Oh, I'm here, sweetheart!
528
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,400
SHELAGH: Oh... Oh.
529
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,720
MAY MOANS You need to wait here.
530
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,600
SHE SOBS
531
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,896
The Lord is my rock and my
fortress and my deliverer.
532
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:05,216
My God, my strength
in whom I will trust.
533
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:06,776
PATRICK: Shelagh! Oh!
534
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,696
Where have they taken her?
535
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,856
Which paediatrician is she with?
536
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,816
I don't know, Patrick. They
haven't told me anything!
537
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,256
You wait here, and I'll go
and find out what's happening.
538
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,696
I need you to stay here
539
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:19,776
with me.
540
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,096
You aren't the doctor
in this situation,
541
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,440
any more than I am a nurse.
542
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,936
We're just May's
parents, Patrick.
543
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,280
I know we are.
544
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:33,920
SHE SOBS
545
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,416
Bathing Baby's eyes
in sterilised water
546
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,440
will help keep them
clean of infection.
547
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,616
Can you do it? I don't
want to hurt her.
548
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,120
You won't.
549
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,616
Very gentle strokes with the pad
550
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,856
from the inside of
the eye outwards.
551
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,176
DOOR OPENS
552
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:01,296
That's it.
553
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:02,616
FOOTSTEPS
554
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,336
Good morning, Lindy!
How are we getting on?
555
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,480
All right, thanks. I've got
some provisions for the baby.
556
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,376
Here is some information
about financial support,
557
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,456
along with the relevant
forms. It would be prudent
558
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,336
to get these completed
as soon as possible.
559
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:18,936
What's that?
560
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,376
Perhaps it's best to
talk to Lindy herself,
561
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,040
seeing as she's right
in front of you.
562
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,776
Shelagh, this is
Denzil Kerrigan.
563
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,856
Hello, Mrs Turner.
Sorry to be meeting you
564
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,936
when you're both on the
other side of the fence,
565
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,376
so to speak. Are
any results back?
566
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,960
Do you know what's
wrong with her?
567
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,496
May's chest X-ray shows that
568
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,840
she is suffering from
water aspiration.
569
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:58,960
It... It's a form of
570
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:01,736
partial drowning.
571
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,920
But she seemed
perfectly all right.
572
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,136
Once we brought her out of
the water, she was fine.
573
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:10,856
The damage was already done.
574
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,080
Or... being done.
575
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,416
Her lungs are
struggling to function.
576
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,056
We'll keep her on oxygen
577
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,336
and she's already
receiving antibiotics.
578
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,656
But the next few hours are
going to be quite crucial.
579
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,840
You know where to find me.
580
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,440
SHE SOBS Shh.
581
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,616
How did I miss this, Shelagh?
582
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,600
I... I should have
anticipated it!
583
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,416
Even brought her
in last night...
584
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,096
No... when she felt sick!
585
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,576
No, Patrick. This is my fault!
586
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,456
I should never have taken my
eyes off her in the first place!
587
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:53,976
Shh.
588
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,800
PHONE RINGS Oh.
589
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,096
I simply cannot bear to imagine
590
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,576
what Shelagh and Dr
Turner are going through.
591
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,256
A carefree day at the seaside
turning into a nightmare.
592
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,576
I can hardly believe it.
593
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,400
What's the matter?
594
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,496
May's poorly, sweetheart.
595
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,256
But she's being looked
after in hospital
596
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,216
by very clever doctors.
597
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,640
That was Mrs Buckle
on the telephone.
598
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:28,736
The, er, Gazette are doing an
article about the excursion.
599
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,736
They want to use one
of my photographs.
600
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,936
Oh, how lovely.
601
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,936
Well, we'll look
through them together
602
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,480
and see which one to
choose to put forward.
603
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,360
When will May be home?
604
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,176
We're not quite sure, darling.
605
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,096
The doctors are working
very hard to get her better.
606
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,896
I miss May.
607
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,576
I know.
608
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,456
We all do.
609
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,440
Can we go and see her?
610
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,616
Please.
611
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,720
They're very strict about
letting children visit.
612
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,080
There's a biscuit left.
613
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:09,920
It must be May's.
614
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,736
And we want something
for the Gazette
615
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,376
that truly captures
the spirit of the day.
616
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,320
Which one best
represents our community?
617
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:21,840
This is a lovely one.
618
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:24,936
BOTH CHUCKLE
619
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,696
There's Sister Veronica
enjoying an ice cream.
620
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,616
30 seconds later it blew out of
my hand, and I didn't get another.
621
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:33,896
COLETTE LAUGHS
622
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,320
Why is that little
girl's eye funny?
623
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,240
Hmm, let me see.
624
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,000
I must have made a mistake
when I was developing it.
625
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:58,656
Thank you.
626
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,736
We're going to
need two next year.
627
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,296
Coaches!
628
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,016
You've no idea how many people
629
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:08,200
have been asking if the beach
trip is going to be returning.
630
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,336
Word is spreading fast, Fred!
631
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,856
HE CHUCKLES Well,
that's smashing,
632
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,656
but can I get my breath back
first before we start planning
633
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,456
the next one? DOOR OPENS.
634
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:21,976
Morning, son. How can I help?
635
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,256
What would you like for
breakfast, sweetheart?
636
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,696
Her mum's in the maternity home
with the new one, so I'm on duty.
637
00:34:27,720 --> 00:34:29,560
Ooh, congratulations!
638
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:34,256
I'll...
639
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,096
I'll take these.
640
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,296
What, chocolate? For breakfast?
641
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,320
Sugar gives you
energy, don't it?
642
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,600
Oh, erm, and a pack of ciggies.
643
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:52,120
Millicent, I need to talk to
Dr Turner rather urgently.
644
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,776
Would that be appropriate,
all things considered?
645
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,680
There's been no news of little
May overnight, good or bad.
646
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,800
I think he values the
distraction of work.
647
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,816
Doctor, I wonder if
I may confer with you
648
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,296
about something?
649
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:09,840
Of course.
650
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,336
This is a photograph I
took of Lindy Webster
651
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,136
and her daughter
Danielle at the beach.
652
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,416
I didn't notice it at first,
but look at Danielle's eye.
653
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,616
It looks as though
it's reflecting light.
654
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,136
It's not normal, is it?
655
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:26,320
No.
656
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:28,800
It's not normal at all.
657
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:32,176
What sort of tests?
658
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,560
Do you see the white ring
inside Danielle's eye?
659
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,296
Sometimes something
shows up on camera
660
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:41,960
we can't see in real life.
661
00:35:43,240 --> 00:35:45,616
And sometimes it
indicates a problem.
662
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,120
What sort of problem?
663
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:49,456
I'm not a specialist, Lindy,
664
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,736
but I do think we need
to get this looked at
665
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,840
by someone who is
- at the hospital,
666
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,896
and as soon as we
can organise it.
667
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,320
Can't it wait? I've
just had a baby.
668
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,296
Doctor thinks the specialist
669
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,736
should have a look
at the baby as well.
670
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,256
Might it be something that's
671
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:10,536
catching?
672
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,680
Not catching as such.
673
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,160
But it might be something
that affects them both.
674
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,000
FOOTSTEPS
675
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,096
I'm praying for poor little
Danielle and her sister.
676
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,856
That young couple could
barely manage as parents
677
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,696
to begin with, and they
certainly won't be able to cope
678
00:36:31,720 --> 00:36:33,696
with two poorly children.
679
00:36:33,720 --> 00:36:36,640
Well, the welfare
office must be informed.
680
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,576
I think I'll head
to the hospital.
681
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,240
My support may be needed.
682
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,976
Teddy will be very cross that
you're getting all these sweets
683
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,136
and not saving any for him.
684
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,856
Teddy didn't nearly drown.
685
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,016
BOTH LAUGH
686
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,456
Hello. Guess what! Did
you find Dr Kerrigan?
687
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,736
I waylaid him on his way
to his afternoon clinic,
688
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,896
and he gave me some good news.
689
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,176
This morning's X-ray showed
690
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,056
a significant reduction
in lung inflammation.
691
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,656
In fact, there is every
evidence that this young madam
692
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:12,416
has responded very well to
treatment. Did you hear that, May?
693
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,616
Perhaps you'll be
coming home soon.
694
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,816
Kerrigan is planning
to discharge her
695
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,456
when he makes his rounds.
696
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,976
As he said, she will
need careful nursing
697
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:22,496
for at least two weeks,
698
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,216
but with her own personal
medical team on call,
699
00:37:25,240 --> 00:37:26,816
he doesn't doubt she'll get it!
700
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:28,296
Did you hear that, May?
701
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,800
You'll be back where you belong.
702
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:33,920
Oh!
703
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,600
Mild concomitant esotropia
in the right eye.
704
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,720
Stay nice and still
for me, please.
705
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,720
Suspected choroidal detachment.
706
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,440
What does that mean?
707
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,136
Can somebody tell
me what's going on?
708
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,160
We'll need to get a clear picture
before we discuss any findings.
709
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:31,800
Can you see anything wrong?
710
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,120
Results will go to
your consultant.
711
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:37,600
DOORBELL RINGS
712
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:41,416
I'll get it.
713
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,816
Ah, it might be
the district nurse.
714
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,296
We can show her how
well you're doing, May.
715
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,176
Good day, Mrs Turner.
716
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,336
It's Miss Williams.
717
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,496
From the Hong Kong
adoption project?
718
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,696
Yes, of course.
Hello, Miss Williams.
719
00:38:54,720 --> 00:38:57,576
I am sorry. It's
been quite a while.
720
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:58,776
How can I help you?
721
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,536
We received the news on
May's hospitalisation.
722
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,440
I wanted to pay a visit
and see how she was doing.
723
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:09,096
It was a dreadful ordeal
but she's much better now.
724
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,640
Would it be possible to have
a quick chat with May herself?
725
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,760
Of course. Come through.
726
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,936
May, do you remember
Miss Williams?
727
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,736
She's come to see
how you're doing.
728
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:24,800
Hello, May.
729
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,200
Oh. We'll leave you to it.
730
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,696
Can I get you anything,
Miss Williams?
731
00:39:34,720 --> 00:39:38,456
Tea? And I've just baked
some scones. No. Thank you.
732
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:39,776
I'm fine.
733
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,440
Mm. This isn't a social visit.
734
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:48,976
SHE SIGHS
735
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,336
Can you hear what she's
saying? It's been ages.
736
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:52,496
FOOTSTEPS
737
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:53,976
I shall be on my
way now, Mrs Turner.
738
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,336
May and I have
had a lovely chat.
739
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,256
Can I ask
740
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,096
what will happen now?
741
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:01,576
May is a content little girl.
742
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,936
She's clearly happy
living with you.
743
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,456
But I need to go back to the
office and file my report.
744
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,096
This is standard protocol with
foster children, Mrs Turner.
745
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:13,776
I'm sure you understand.
746
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,576
In your report, will you
explain it was just an accident?
747
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,696
One minute she was
right in front of me...
748
00:40:19,720 --> 00:40:21,776
I shall write down all the facts
749
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,616
so that they can be properly
discussed and considered.
750
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,416
I see.
751
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:27,840
We will be in touch.
752
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,056
SHE SIGHS, DOOR CLOSES
753
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,176
How much longer are they
going to keep us waiting?
754
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,736
What, you'd rather be with your
mates at the pub, would you?
755
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,976
Oh, wonderful. There you are.
756
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,656
I was hoping I
hadn't missed you.
757
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,616
What are you doing here?
758
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,256
I thought you might
need my support.
759
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:49,320
DOOR OPENS
760
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,120
Danielle and Michelle Jones.
761
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,696
What do you both understand about
what's been happening so far?
762
00:41:08,720 --> 00:41:11,256
Well, that's just it. We don't
understand nothing really.
763
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,256
There might be something
wrong with Michelle's eyes.
764
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,056
And then there was a thing
about Danielle's eye in a photo.
765
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:18,776
Yes, you're right.
766
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,496
There is something wrong.
767
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,136
I'm sorry to say that
the results have revealed
768
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:24,816
that both Michelle and Danielle
769
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,296
have retinoblastoma
in their right eye.
770
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,576
Fortunately, there's
no sign it has spread.
771
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,016
I don't think the parents
know what that is.
772
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,296
Is that an infection? No,
it's not an infection.
773
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,696
Retinoblastoma is a
malignancy of the retina,
774
00:41:39,720 --> 00:41:41,240
the back of the eye
775
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,176
most often discovered
in childhood.
776
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:45,960
Malignancy? A cancer.
777
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,896
I'm very sorry.
778
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,096
It's caused by a genetic defect,
779
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,960
which is why both your
daughters are affected. Cancer?
780
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:57,120
Both?
781
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,936
Both of my babies
have got cancer?
782
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:03,920
I'm afraid so.
783
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,976
That isn't true.
It can't be true!
784
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,360
I can't lose my babies. I can't!
785
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,496
I know we agreed to
make the trip together,
786
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,456
but I was just...
passing the car showroom
787
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,096
and I simply couldn't resist
788
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:23,456
a quick look. HE SCOFFS
789
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,136
I saw the perfect one
called a Sunbeam Imp!
790
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,296
Isn't that the most
delightful name for a car?
791
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:30,496
Erm...
792
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,016
Oh, you think it's frivolous?
793
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,456
Well, the sales gentleman said
794
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,776
it's actually an excellent
choice for a new driver.
795
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,096
Mmm. HE CHUCKLES
796
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,200
I do realise it's at the
slightly... pricier end.
797
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,936
So... not a decision
to rush into.
798
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,656
Well, nor should we wait until
I'm too decrepit to drive,
799
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:51,736
surely?
800
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:52,800
HE CHUCKLES
801
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:56,736
We'll need to proceed
with treatment
802
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:57,976
as quickly as possible.
803
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,936
You're lucky it was
picked up when it was.
804
00:42:59,960 --> 00:43:02,256
For Michelle, we
recommend radiotherapy,
805
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,696
but Danielle will
certainly need enucleation.
806
00:43:05,720 --> 00:43:08,736
Why does nobody
talk English to us?!
807
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:13,960
Enucleation is a surgical
procedure to remove the eye. Oh!
808
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,776
But if you take the eye out,
you take the cancer out?
809
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,376
And she'll live?
810
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,520
We hope so, yes.
811
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,376
What happens next? Well, we'll
move things along very quickly.
812
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,016
Do you have any
support? Any family?
813
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:40,736
Any grandparents?
814
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,376
Nobody.
815
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:43,576
It's just the two of us.
816
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,136
The girls will need a lot
of specialist care, Lindy.
817
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,040
And they'll get it!
818
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:51,920
From their mother!
819

PHYLLIS: Both in shock,
as you can imagine.

DOOR CLOSES And Lindy's still
822
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,800
recovering from the lab our, so
she's been brought back here.
823
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,136
Lindy, you know Mr Robinson
already, don't you,
824
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,056
from the welfare office?
825
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:11,696
He's here to help.
826
00:44:11,720 --> 00:44:14,296
I'm not stupid. I
know what this is.
827
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:15,976
You want to take my babies away.
828
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,376
That's the last
thing we want to do.
829
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,976
But there is the option
of help from other people
830
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,256
while Danielle and Michelle
have their treatment.
831
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,816
Are you talking about
foster care? No!
832
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:28,216
That is not happening!
I know all about that.
833
00:44:28,240 --> 00:44:30,696
We want to make sure you
have everything you need.
834
00:44:30,720 --> 00:44:32,720
All I need is for my
babies to be healthy.
835
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:35,696
I'm taking them home.
836
00:44:35,720 --> 00:44:38,576
You're welcome to stay
here as long as you want.
837
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,296
There's no rush to leave.
838
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,176
You'll need to recover too.
839
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:43,696
I'm fine.
840
00:44:43,720 --> 00:44:45,160
Melvin, come on.
841
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:52,696
DOOR OPENS
842
00:44:52,720 --> 00:44:55,096
The hospital have raised
significant concerns
843
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,120
about their ability to cope.
844
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:02,176
My concern is that everybody
appears to be underestimating
845
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,520
what that young
couple can handle.
846
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:13,816
We need to keep this place
847
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:15,800
as clean as possible
from now on.
848
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,456
Melvin?
849
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,040
This is our fault.
850
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,136
What are you talking about?
851
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:27,736
We're a bad combination.
852
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,576
It's us that done this to our
girls. That's what they said.
853
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:32,376
You can't think like that.
854
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:33,480
Yeah, well, I do.
855
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:36,840
I can't help it!
856
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,720
You can help it, though, Melvin.
857
00:45:42,720 --> 00:45:44,576
Either we
858
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:46,136
grow up
859
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,496
and concentrate on getting
our girls through this,
860
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,976
or... we fall to pieces and...

Look what Mrs Buckle
sent for you, May. Oh!

Not many girls get baskets
of iced buns from the mayor.
869
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,096
I wish someone would send
me a basket of iced buns!

Can I have one? Oh, Patrick!

Good evening. Dr
Turner speaking.

But we've already
received a visit.

Oh, well, yes, of course.

That's no problem.

Oh, very well.

We'll see you, then.

Goodbye.
884
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,296
That was Miss Williams.
885
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,176
We're to go in and
see her in her office,
886
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:22,000
for a meeting about May.
887
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,536
What if we enrolled
Jonty in preschool?
888
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,656
St Nicholas is one of the best.
889
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,160
And it's a five-minute walk
from the Barbican flat.
890
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:37,736
Matthew?
891
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:39,376
Are you listening?
892
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:40,736
If you're still cross with me
893
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:42,816
about spending nights
at Nonnatus, just say,
894
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:44,576
but please don't sulk!
895
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,480
I was miles away, that's all.
896
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,360
Preschool for Jonty?
What are your thoughts?
897
00:47:53,720 --> 00:47:56,816
That it is an
unnecessary expense?
898
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:58,736
Even if it means
more time for us?
899
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:02,360
Is that really a valid reason for
shipping my son off to school early?
900
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:04,320
Your son?
901
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,120
I'm... sorry.
902
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,256
I'm... I'm sorry.
I didn't mean that.
903
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,760
I'm thinking of him.
904
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,536
It's better than a nanny.
905
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:20,856
And he's so sociable,
906
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,120
he'd simply adore spending
time with children his own age.
907
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:27,680
Leave it with me.
908
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:42,760
I'll see you tomorrow,
then, shall I?
909
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,600
WHIRRING AND CLANGING
910
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:01,200
I highly recommend earplugs!
911
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:04,000
You get used to it.
912
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:06,720
Do you have a moment to talk?
913
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:09,280
Unofficial break.
914
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,376
Might need to duck
if I spot the gaffer.
915
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,376
You'd best get back to work, then.
You can't afford to lose this job.
916
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,096
I'll go when I'm ready.
917
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,136
Life doesn't work like
that, unfortunately.
918
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,136
If we all waited
till we were ready,
919
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:25,576
I doubt anything
would get done at all.
920
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:26,936
Don't need a lecture. Ta.
921
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,096
It's not a lecture.
922
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:30,160
It's advice
923
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:33,000
from someone much older.
924
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,256
I cannot fathom what you're
going through, Melvin.
925
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,216
But I do know that
you must dig deep
926
00:49:40,240 --> 00:49:43,096
and do your very
best by those girls,
927
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,160
however ill-prepared you feel.
928
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:48,376
What if I'm just not up to it?
929
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:49,816
Do you love them?
930
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:51,296
Of course I love them.
931
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,136
Then you'll discover
that you are up to it.
932
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:55,440
All right, back to work!
933
00:49:56,720 --> 00:49:58,360
Your break's over.
934
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,376
As it happens, since
I came to see May,
935
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:14,096
Miss Tang has been in touch,
936
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:15,736
asking about news
of her daughter.
937
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:17,776
She does telephone
from time to time,
938
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,056
though we don't encourage it.
939
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,136
But we were, of course,
duty-bound to inform her
940
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:23,400
of the incident at the beach.
941
00:50:24,720 --> 00:50:27,696
Consequently, she has questions.
942
00:50:27,720 --> 00:50:28,736
PATRICK SIGHS
943
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:32,216
What exactly did you
tell her, Miss Williams?
944
00:50:32,240 --> 00:50:34,536
And what questions
does she have?
945
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:37,216
I related the facts
as I understood them.
946
00:50:37,240 --> 00:50:40,976
And she asked why May was alone
when this incident occurred.
947
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:44,496
She wasn't alone. We would
never neglect our children.
948
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:46,416
Nobody's suggesting that.
949
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:50,296
We're simply trying to get as
clear a picture as possible.
950
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,256
Miss Tang also referenced
the playground incident
951
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,016
where May's foot
required stitches.
952
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:56,736
Two years ago?
953
00:50:56,760 --> 00:51:01,136
She had a playground
accident, as any child might!
954
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:03,296
I did those stitches myself!
955
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,376
Miss Tang is aware
that you're a doctor,
956
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:06,840
and, indeed, a nurse.
957
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:09,816
As she put it to me,
958
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:14,376
"I thought my daughter would be
more safe with them, not less."
959
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,736
Oh... Do you think
we could lose May?
960
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:19,016
This is not a case of you
961
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,296
losing the child you
foster, Mrs Turner.
962
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:23,336
But May might have to be
removed to an environment
963
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:25,856
in which her mother
has more confidence.
964
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,976
Well, what can we
do to reassure her?
965
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:30,656
Well, can we write to her?
966
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:34,136
Can you send her
some kind of report?
967
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:37,496
We already send letters, and
photographs too, sometimes.
968
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,016
We're always tactful.
969
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,416
I see no reason why
that can't continue.
970
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:45,696
But May's mother has now asked
for an ongoing, formal review
971
00:51:45,720 --> 00:51:50,816
of the arrangement and for May to
be moved if she is not satisfied.
972
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,080
The decision will be taken
in three months' time.
973
00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,656
BABY CRIES
974
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:01,896
You need to rest.
975
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:03,160
I'll take her.
976
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,280
BABY QUIETENS
977
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,256
BABY GURGLES
978
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:27,600
I'm sorry.
979
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,536
You're right, Lind. I want us
to be the best parents, too
980
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:34,200
whatever happens.
981
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:42,656
I promise
982
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:44,400
things will change.
983
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:51,776
Melvin, what the
heck are you doing?
984
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:53,816
I love you, Lindy Webster.
985
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:56,296
HE SNIFFS Would you please
986
00:52:56,320 --> 00:53:00,456
do me the honour of becoming
my wife, for better or worse?
987
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:01,880
Yeah!
988
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:08,520
ALL SHRIEK AND LAUGH
989
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,616
Mummy and Daddy are going to be
right here when you come out.
990
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:19,920
We'll see you in two
ticks, angel. Hmm?
991
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:32,360
SHE SOBS
992
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:41,216
Oh...
993
00:53:41,240 --> 00:53:45,296
I've been so afraid
of May seeing me upset
994
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,296
I've held it all in.
995
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:49,296
And here's the
place to let it out.
996
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:50,776
You've been through
such an ordeal.
997
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:52,960
Of my own creation.
998
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,336
You must try and
forgive yourself
999
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:58,336
and move on.
1000
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,096
SHE BREATHES DEEPLY
1001
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,760
What if they take
May away from us?
1002
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:12,480
Are you all right, Matthew?
1003
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:15,416
Er, fine. Why?
1004
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:16,856
Well
1005
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,536
you've been desperate for me
to spend more nights at home,
1006
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:22,680
and now I'm here you've hardly
said a word to me all evening.
1007
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:26,496
SHE SIGHS
1008
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:27,800
I'm sorry.
1009
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:30,720
I'll be right through.
1010
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:40,680
Thanks.
1011
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:48,296
So, how are you all bearing up?
1012
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:50,416
Oh, up and down.
1013
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,240
But we're coping.
1014
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:55,416
Michelle starts
radiotherapy tomorrow.
1015
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:57,416
And Danielle's
doing really well.
1016
00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,256
She's having an ocular pros...
1017
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,440
Prosthesis? That's the one.
1018
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:05,360
They showed us at
the hospital and
1019
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:08,800
it looks much better
than I thought.
1020
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,456
And the main thing is, it
definitely hasn't spread.
1021
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,216
BOTH SIGH
1022
00:55:14,240 --> 00:55:15,960
That's wonderful news.
1023
00:55:18,240 --> 00:55:20,096
Where's Melvin?
1024
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:21,760
Oh, he's at work.
Not in the pub.
1025
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:26,096
He's taken on extra
work. Good for him.
1026
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:27,936
And we're officially engaged.
1027
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,616
Silver paper. He's
saving up for a ring.
1028
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,056
Priority is making sure
the girls don't go without.
1029
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:34,576
Very sensible.
1030
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:36,160
And congratulations.
1031
00:55:37,240 --> 00:55:40,000
You should be extremely
proud of yourselves.
1032
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:42,920
Quite right.
1033
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:45,576
We are
1034
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:47,000
actually.
1035
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:51,280
FRONT DOOR OPENS
1036
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:55,080
FRONT DOOR CLOSES
1037
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:58,416
DOOR OPENS
1038
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:00,480
FOOTSTEPS
1039
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:05,800
Patrick... I'm sending
this to Hong Kong.
1040
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,776
To May's mother?
1041
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:11,856
I thought it would be
nice for her to see May
1042
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:13,496
in the dress she
sent at Christmas.
1043
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,880
But you completely remade
that dress, Shelagh
1044
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:20,856
to make sure it fitted her,
1045
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:23,416
to make sure May
wouldn't be upset.
1046
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,696
But what if her mother notices?
1047
00:56:26,720 --> 00:56:31,136
If she notices, she'll know
it's because I'm doing my best.
1048
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:32,960
I need her to see that.
1049
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,640
Perhaps I need to see that, too.
1050
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:41,536
That's all we can do, isn't it?
1051
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:43,160
Our best.
1052
00:56:48,240 --> 00:56:50,440
Other people will be
making the decision.
1053
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:56,456
MATURE JENNIFER: Is any
pleasure simple, in the end?
1054
00:56:56,480 --> 00:57:00,656
A smile can be the
fruit of terror,
1055
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:02,840
and of courage.
1056
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:08,280
Our happiness is often
rooted in its opposite.
1057
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:13,776
The threat that rocked us
that did not come to pass.
1058
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:15,896
The loss averted.
1059
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:18,320
The tears we did not cry.
1060
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:23,096
But if our shadows
fall behind us,
1061
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:26,136
they can also lie ahead
1062
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:29,576
watching, waiting for their turn
1063
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:33,096
under cover of the sunshine.
1064
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,696
VERONICA: They've been
left by their mother.
1065
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:38,296
She begs someone to look
