I need someone in my life. I need a girl to hold me tight.

Someone to make me feel, make me feel all right.

Somebody help me, yeah.

Somebody help me now.

Don't somebody tell me what I've done wrong.

What? Nice.

Look at the poor blight he's had there.

There

I

go.

That way? Yeah.

How's that knee?

That knee is absolutely fine.

Oh, I'm singing, just singing in the rain.

Look,

it's dirty, Denny.

The oil gallery's blocked.

I can't keep it going much longer.

We've got to get round the rock at Lantern Point.

I'll get an emergency jenny going today.

God, something worked.

So, what about all the material plans of yours?

Well, when I'm up and about again after the operation, I'm going to hire a small

plane, just a two -seater.

And fly down to the south of France. How exciting.

It would be much more exciting if it was two people.

You'd have to come along.

Nice.

Monte Carlo.

Sounds wonderful.

In fact, old girl, what I'd really like is for you to be my co -pilot.

More such as a...

What are you doing?

What about your knee?

It's all got to be done properly.

Would you do me the tremendous honour, Toffee, of

consenting to be my wife?

I'm gonna be close to the rock now. Sorry, Skip.

I've tried everything.

I'm gonna send that to Mayday, then.

Mayday! Mayday!

Mayday!

It's the Berwick Lusk! Berwick Lusk! Berwick Lusk!

We've lost all steering!

Repeat! We've lost all steering!

Opposition! It's 54 degrees, 15 minutes north, 0 degrees, 32

minutes west.

Are you receiving me?

Yeah!

Morning, Doc.

I've always wanted to fly one of these. I'm going to tap tall on the serious leg

and get to it.

Okay.

Eddie! Brother Shaq came down, crushing his leg.

He started shifting with his whole foot.

You need more of this now.

Let's try, shall we? One, two, three.

See, you can't find a hoist or something to lever it off of, all right? OK,

people, tell me you're the police, Frankie.

Hello, Eddie.

I've got the over on.

Don't worry, she can do it.

Why don't you stay, shall we?

Right. I'm going to give you a litre of Hartman's solution. That will replace

the blood loss. Meanwhile, we'll stop the bleeding. All right? It's all OK.

Please.

Morning.

Hiya. Hiya, Dr. Omrod. I was called out early this morning. Yes, yeah, serious

injury on a trawler.

Oh, terrible when things go wrong at sea. My Uncle Bob was torpedoed. Lizzie,

sorry, have you got my list of home calls?

Here we are. Thank you.

Doctor, one more to add. Phoned in. Jenny Travis.

Oh, right. More top form.

Her dad called. He was a bit abrupt.

Said she was sick.

Sick.

I mustn't be late, but I wanted this to be private.

Of course.

So what's wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

Johnny Lomax has proposed marriage to me.

Really?

Oh, how wonderful.

Unexpected at my time of life.

Well, you seem to get along very well together, you two.

I suppose, looking back, there was always a spark.

But if I accept, I'll have to retire.

Ah, yes.

You want his wife by his side, naturally.

He may want us to live abroad.

Oh, my God.

Well, if you do accept his proposal, I shall, of course, be absolutely

for you.

I shall miss you enormously, both as a colleague and a dear friend.

It won't be a terrible wrench.

But in matters like this, he will always follow your heart.

I know.

Now, there's absolutely nothing for you to worry about.

Mr. Rose is an excellent surgeon.

He'll have that cartilage out in no time. I'm sure he will.

Morning, Johnny.

Morning, Toph.

Matron. Now then, Mr.

Rose... He's an excellent surgeon, and I'm not to worry, I know.

But it's not the operation I'm worried about, really.

Well, I don't like my patients to be worried for any reason prior to an

operation.

Well, what I'm really worried about is how I'm going to cope.

If you turn me down.

There's no need to worry on that score, Johnny.

Yes.

I'd love to be your wife.

Oh,

darling.

Oh.

I'm in heaven. I can't tell you what this means to me.

You hear that, everybody?

This wonderful lady has made me the happiest man alive.

She's agreed to be my wife.

How are we doing?

No court.

Harry, put up the coast guard. Make sure they've got cutting equipment on the

lifeboat.

Keep it up.

Try to keep the spirit up.

Right. It's all right, mate. We'll get you a bit more comfortable, eh?

Let's get this over with.

Here you are.

OK. His pulse is racking up. You are muddy and greasy, can we? What will your

girlfriend say? His blood pressure is way down.

We've got to get that leg burnt. He's not a girl.

Well, of course you're pulling every port for you sailors, isn't it? I'm just

going to catch my thermia in this water. Have you got anything warm to wrap me

in? It's all right, babe.

You're going to be OK.

Get you off this boat, no worry.

The lifeboat's on the way, mate. You're going to be fine.

Hey, look at me.

You're going to be OK.

All right?

Traditional way I were married in.

Me dad wangled a horse -drawn carriage from somewhere.

How lovely.

I bet Frankies love something like that.

Mind you...

The authors did the business outside the church.

My dad borrowed a bucket and shovel, used it on his roses. Yep, it's okay.

Morning. Do you have an appointment?

I've come to see my husband.

He works here.

Does he? He's an ambulance man.

Frankie Robinson.

Doctor!

Come on, Jane.

Sorry, Dr. Goodwin.

A woman's turned up with two kids.

Who? She says she's Frankie's wife.

You what?

Are you sure? She's locked herself in the kids' reception waiting for him.

do I do?

Well, keep her away from Meryl for a start.

Come on, man. We've a list to get through.

You need a cold shower.

Just keep them apart.

Hello, Doctor.

Come through.

Mrs Travis.

Morning, Jenny.

I hear you've been feeling a bit sick.

You're the one that's sick.

I'm sorry?

You heard me sick. What else do you call it? Dishing out contraceptive pills to

my daughter.

Do you think we could discuss this in a civil manner? I'll give you civil. I'll

have you struck off. Mr Travis, I... She's a schoolgirl. We're Catholics.

I was called here, Jenny, because I was told that you were ill. Are you?

No, I'm fine.

Right. Well, and I'm afraid I do have other patients who do need my attention.

Could I get past, please?

Do as the doctor says, Jim.

Thank you.

Look, if you would like to discuss this with me in...

A reasonable manner. Then I'd be very happy to do that. Just please book an

appointment.

OK?

Bye, Jenny.

Doctor!

Did she ask you to supply those things?

Or was it your idea?

Look, why don't you discuss all of this with Jenny?

She's just a child.

And you're encouraging her to answer... Bex, I'm not encouraging her to do

anything. You've let us down, Doctor.

You know we're a Catholic family.

You've had no regard for that. No, that's really not true.

We'll have to take this further.

Jim won't stand for it.

Do sit down, Mr. Harper.

Now then.

As a result of her forthcoming marriage, regrettably, Matron will be leaving us.

Marriage?

When? At a date mutually to be agreed.

Beryl Hardacre.

I'm sorry?

What is it, Ashford the General?

You're thinking she might become Matron at the Royal?

Why not? First -rate woman.

Doesn't she have a reputation of being a bit of a dragon?

She's a stickler for discipline.

Knows how to crack the whip.

Just what this place needs.

Well, far be it from me to question your judgment, Mr Harbour. But the last time

you brought a matron into this hospital, didn't it have rather unfortunate

consequences? A regrettable incident, yes. But Beryl Hardacre is sanity

personified. She's as sane as I am.

I'll sound her out.

Stephen, come over here.

There's a good boy.

Father John called.

Something about you prescribing contraceptive pills?

It sounded rather agitated.

Yes, well, I can't say that's a surprise.

Thank you.

Stephen, get down.

He knows not to climb on the furniture.

Well, boys will be boys.

Oh,

tired.

Tired. Have you heard?

I was the first to know.

A bit of a bombshell.

I'm not going to say that again.

Getting married, eh?

Not anymore, she's not.

And she is already married.

There is wife and kids over there.

Johnny Lomax has got a young wife and kids.

Has he?

You said.

No, they're Frankie's.

Frankie?

What, he's married?

What's it we've been talking about?

Matron. She's leaving and getting married to Johnny Lomax.

She never is.

She is.

Oh, Mitch, I'm leaving.

Blimey. Frankie married, eh?

Blimey. Daddy will be here in a minute. Come on.

Where are you going?

Reception. I've got some patient notes to file. Oh, never mind them. You'll

after them, won't you?

What are you doing, Ken?

Come with us. We need your support.

Hope's back from burning his cutting gear on more than life, Hope. And the

chopper's standing by till they get here. Good.

Doc.

His water level's rising really fast.

What if the lifeboat don't make it in time? We'll keep his mouth above the

level. Let's get him raised.

Harper's lining up Beryl Ardaker from Ashfordly. Beryl the peril, the nurse's

air caller.

So we need another candidate to oppose her.

Who did you have in mind?

You, of course.

Me? Oh, you'd make a great matron.

All the staff here would support you.

Here, here.

I don't know if it'd be right for me.

I've taken vows.

I'd need to consult my priest and talk to the Order.

Victor, if we don't stop Harper getting his way, then we'll all suffer.

Remember what it was like when he got that nook hit with an assistant matron

You've got to apply.

I think... Sister Bridget's an excellent idea, Ken.

Trouble is, she's all that religious malarkey to consider.

Her calling as a nun, you mean?

Might help if someone in authority, yourself, say, or matron, were to

her to apply.

You know very well that Jenny's been brought up in a Catholic faith.

Her parents are deeply upset by this.

Jenny's 16.

She's in her first relationship. Now, for whatever reason, she felt she was

unable to discuss it with her parents, so she came to me for advice. I

the options to her as they exist.

The church's position on contraception is clear.

There can be no compromises on this.

Right, so would you prefer that I had turned her away, that I hadn't listened

her, just let the inevitable happen?

Unmarried girls should not be encouraged to have sex. But the fact is that they

do.

Many... Fall pregnant, they panic, they take extreme measures, and often they

end up in hospital where we have to repair the damage to their bodies.

And what of their souls, Doctor?

The unnatural ending of a human life and the unnatural prevention of a human

life are one and the same. Both are mortal sin.

It's not a question of which is the lesser evil.

It's not my business to make moral judgments on my patients, nor do I

contraception to be an evil, Father.

If you were unable to give her moral counsel...

Did you at least discuss the wisdom of her having sex at her age?

Yes, of course I did, but the fact is that she was already in a relationship,

and that was the reality that I was having to deal with.

I'm afraid this is not good enough. The church has always supported this

hospital. Indeed, our own Sister Bridget is part of your staff.

But under the circumstances, we may have to reconsider that support.

I bid you good day.

There you go, Eddie. That should help you with the pain, mate.

Doc, where is the light bulb? Can they not know we're sinking?

Fact is, he's in danger of developing crotch syndrome.

If he stays here much longer, he'll drown anyway.

Hey, Doc.

The ketamine will kick in quite soon.

Hey, why?

What are you going to do?

I'll be clear.

There's no alternative.

Yeah. Why not pop back later? Your husband might be some time.

I've nowhere to go.

I don't even know where he's staying, do you?

Well, actually, yeah.

Yes, I do.

Well, maybe if I pop round, explain who I am to his landlady.

She might let me in.

She won't actually be there now.

How do you know?

Because he's living with me.

Oh, no, I don't mean he's living with me, Hutch.

No, not at all. I mean, I'm a married woman.

Well, my husband's run off, actually, but... Frankie's staying at your house.

Yeah, I have another chap there as well, a doctor. I mean, there's no funny

business. They're just helping me out with the rent, you see.

Look who I've just found wandering the corridors.

Don, what have you done?

Oh, it's just a little nick.

Bottom Dan's casualty put a blaster on it.

Well, have you right, it's raining no time.

You're a young man.

What's your name?

Stephen. He's called Stephen.

What's your name, Stephen?

Oh, sugar.

Right, I'm going to cut straight through the knee joint.

Doc, are you still awake?

Get me and we'll deal with the pain. Look, when I'm through, I want you to

me those flaps and spend the bleeding.

Eddie, I'm going to do this as quickly as possible. Doc, wait.

Wait. The shaft moves with the listing of the boat. Now, if we can lever it

I can hold it, and you can maybe slip this leg out.

Frankie, now you can try and just do as I say.

Dr. Ian, my book to you.

Tell them we're desperate. We need that fucking gear down here ASAP.

It's all right, mate.

All the life runs again.

Matron?

No, no, no, no, no. I can't condone that, Bridget.

Up until now, we've tolerated your position in the hospital, but there is a

danger in it.

What do you mean, Father?

I mean the danger of secular ambition superseding your religious calling.

Ambition?

The very fact that you've applied for promotion reveals ambition.

Is it ambition to want to be of service in nursing the sick and injured, Father?

Nursing the sick is one thing.

Nursing a desire to be matron is another.

As matron, you'll have to support the decisions of all the doctors, even if

they're in flagrant opposition to the teachings of the Church.

Well... No, no, no.

I will talk to Mother Superior, but I assure you, the position you have is the

position to which you're best suited.

May the Lord bless you and keep you.

Go in peace and serve the Lord.

Did Father John actually tell you not to apply?

He asked me to examine my conscience regarding personal ambition and so on.

And have you?

Maybe he's right.

I'm happy as a sister.

Perhaps it's God's will I stay as I am.

And if I've got out to do with it...

I've never flown, you know.

Not even during the war. I never got off the bay.

I might be nervous.

I've made a look after you.

Lying together up in the clouds.

Won't that be wonderful?

For touching down in Marseille.

For a boiler verse.

And a cold bottle of Chablis.

Beats fish and chips in Whitby in the rain.

But could you learn to live without the mushy peas, do you think?

Oh, Johnny.

You've made me feel like a young girl again.

You are a young girl.

Okay.

And

I'll

show you back to reception.

Come on, this way.

Matron, leave in.

What do you think?

Are you OK, Stella?

You seem a bit jumpy. Oh, fine, I'm fine.

Anyway, I think we've got another patient, so we can talk later, eh?

Good morning, Matron.

Morning, Mr Rose.

Well, Mr Lomax, we're ready for you.

And if my anaesthetist can stay away from the female staff long enough to put

you under, you won't feel a thing.

Thanks.

That's most reassuring.

Mr Lomax to theatre, please, Alan.

I'll be waiting for you.

It's going to be absolutely fine.

The Trevis family have made a complaint.

Well, as you know, I never presume to interfere in medical matters.

But mightn't it have been advisable to get her mother and father in here?

and talked the matter through with them, too.

Jenny knew that her parents wouldn't approve.

At the same time, she didn't want to risk an unwanted pregnancy. It was a

and a considered decision.

Mature?

16?

No, we need to keep that on like the nurse said, so it can get better.

Bye. Bye.

Sandra, take my keys. You can let yourself in.

Oh, that's very kind of you.

Make yourself a cup of tea. Kids can play in the living room.

Oh, I wouldn't venture up to Frankie's room. I've no idea what state it's in.

Menne. Don't worry. Just somewhere to sit and comfort will be nice.

I forgot.

We keep a jar of beans for brave little boys like Stephen.

Here you go. What did he say?

Say thank you to the nice nurse.

No manners. Just like his dad.

He's a lovely little lad.

Don't want to be stuck here. Get round there as soon as you can. Turn left out

the front.

Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot.

I need to put him in the book.

What's Stephen's full name?

Stephen Alan Robinson.

Robinson?

That'll be my surname too soon.

Yeah? Off you go then, love. Are you getting married?

Yeah. Oh, wait.

It's not until it's cracked up till they believe me. And me.

Bye then.

I bet you're not my husband.

Really?

Robinson, you said.

Works here?

Frankie.

You stay in the back of the dock, Steve. I'll drive.

Grandma's in here.

In you go.

I'm sorry, Major.

You don't expect your fiancé to have a wife and kids.

Would you like to go home, take some time off?

No.

I want to be here.

Face him.

You sure?

Don't worry.

That rat is not going to stop me doing my job.

Good show.

Let's get on with it.

There

we

are. That's the little blighters that were causing you all the trouble.

Whipped him out with no problem at all. I'm very grateful.

Incinerate that if you would, sister.

Unless you want it as a souvenir.

No, he certainly doesn't.

Ah, well.

All went well, I gather.

Yeah, I'll soon be on my feet again.

He'll show you some dancing then.

A successful mission then, Johnny.

Well done.

How do you feel?

Absolutely fine.

I'm ready for take -off. How about you?

Just waiting for clearance.

I never got a clue we were married already.

Maybe he's ashamed of us.

Oh, no.

We married too young.

I knew he'd stray.

I could cope with that.

As long as he remembered he had a wife and kids at home.

I haven't been in touch for months.

Kids hardly know they've got a dad and now... Women, men.

You'd be worried now. I'd throttle him.

It showed him. Yeah.

Try not to move.

Hey,

steady with that drip on. Okay.

Do as we can, everyone.

Okay. Right.

Come on.

Right. All compound fractures of the left leg.

Just a lot of blood. Possible crush syndrome. Did you lose consciousness?

No. Good.

Monitor his renal function closely.

Hey, Lizzie, there was a copper on the caffeine.

Someone ate it there.

They're your wife and children.

Remember?

Tibia and fibula both have multiple fractures.

Popliteal artery is damaged.

We're going to have to explore this artery if I'm going to save his leg.

It'll take a while, I'm afraid. You think he's up to it?

He's tough, I think so.

Ready?

The kids have been on and on at me, wanting to see you.

Stephen keeps asking, where's Daddy?

When's Daddy coming home?

So I bring them to see you.

And what do I find out?

You're planning to marry another woman.

I didn't want it to happen like this, I'm sorry.

I've heard that word a million times.

I've had enough this time.

Come on, sweetheart.

It's OK, mate. It's OK. Come on.

It'll be all right, mate.

Come on, love. I'll drop you at my cousin's B &B.

Leave her alone, Frankie.

I want to talk to Meryl.

Well, she doesn't want to talk to you.

Ever again, Frankie.

Frankie, is he in denial or what? I honestly think he needs psychiatric

was outstanding today, Jill.

He helped me save that man's life.

As far as wrecking others.

Dumping his wife and children without a thought.

Our marriages break up for all sorts of reasons. Look, we just don't know the

whole story.

Come on. He's left Meryl Taylor absolutely distraught. All right, so his

personal life's in a mess.

Whose isn't sometimes?

Come on.

People in glass houses really should... Gordon.

You can't just dismiss this, OK?

First of all, he gets one of our nurses pregnant.

Then he lets Jeff Goodwin take the blame for it and the ensuing abortion.

Then he proposes a bigamous marriage to one of our other nurses.

For God's sake, Gordon.

He's damn near wrecking this whole practice single -handed.

There's a little bistro, just off the promenades only, in Marseille, where

do a really super...

Cockies, I shuck.

Goodness, all this food.

I think we'll be too heavy to fly back.

Oh, we'd better not be, because after that I'm going to take you to Canada.

I want to show you the Great Lakes, and you'll love Calgary.

I'm sure I shall.

Good night, darling.

I'll see you in the morning.

Don't think you're coming here, you rotten louse.

I've had enough of cheating husbands in this house.

You,

stay

away from my daughter.

Yeah. And from me, if you know what's good for you.

Ready, Kit?

Yeah.

Thought you'd be here when I get back.

How can I help you?

We think the world of Sister Bridget, Father.

Yeah, we do, all of us.

Yeah, she's fantastic.

Like an angel of mercy.

See, as a ward sister, she's a saint.

Those prayer meetings she runs, well, they're an inspiration to us all.

Are they really?

Well, without a doubt. I mean, she's a credit to the old Catholic Church.

That's very nice of you.

Yeah, I mean, we were, the three of us, just saying that...

that if she was to become matron, we might be tempted to become Catholics

ourselves.

You'd go that far, would you?

Well, I couldn't promise that, but I think as matron, she could pull in a lot

recruits, you know, grateful patients and that.

So if you could put a word in.

I'll give it some thought.

Bless you, my children.

All I remember is you talking to me.

Kept me going.

Thank you.

Just do me a job, Eddie.

He's going great, isn't he?

Yeah, sure is.

Sister, thanks for talking to me.

Nobody else here is, so I appreciate it.

It's for our Lord to pass judgment, Frankie, not me.

And you'll be doing the quick step out of here in no time. Not the way I feel

this morning.

That knee's aching like... like bilia.

It's bound to. Be a day or two yet.

That's what I just told him. He wants it all yesterday.

Well, why not?

I've got a lot of catching up to do.

We've had a long talk with Jenny, Doctor.

She's agreed to stop taking the pills.

Is that your decision, Jenny?

Well, I've fallen out with my boyfriend.

He's been seeing another girl.

Oh, I see.

You will meet other boys?

Let's hope next time she takes a bit longer to get to know them.

But you can't just stop and start taking these pills every time, you know, they

do affect your body.

Jenny's told me she's prepared to follow the teachings of her faith, so it won't

be an issue, Doctor.

Is that so, Ginny?

Anyways, I've got work to get to.

Thank you, Doctor.

They're a good family. They'll resolve it between them.

Well, I wish I shared your optimism, Father.

I think you're stoking up trouble. That girl has a mind of her own. She won't

just... Make her do as she's told.

You and I will never agree on contraception.

But I know your opinions are honestly held.

As are mine.

So let's respect that.

Yeah?

I know exactly where I am.

You wouldn't want me. He's free in our life, Mr. Lomax.

Oh, I can assure you that.

Dr. Omarod. I'm not the guy to run with.

That's who he was for life.

I'll break you and destroy you. Get the resuscitation to him, Lomax.

I've been giving some thought to the idea of you applying to be matron.

Oh?

Having someone working here of the true faith, bringing pastoral care,

must be for the good.

Also, I've had a delegation up at the church singing your praises. They all

suggested they'd become Catholic if you were matron, which...

Which I didn't believe for an instant, but... But I was deeply moved

by the genuine respect they had for the job that you do here.

Therefore, I see no harm in you applying for the post.

Two, three, four, five.

Stop compressions.

Start compressions. One, two, three, four, five.

Not responding. He's in ice history.

Right. Intracardiac adrenaline.

Thank you.

We've got no choice.

Splendid news, sister.

You make an excellent matron.

Hang on. She hasn't got the job yet.

There's a lot to be said for continuity, Mr Harper.

Promotion from within.

Come in.

Sorry to interrupt.

Matron... What is it?

What's wrong?

I'm so very sorry.

He suffered a pulmonary embolism.

A delayed reaction to the operation.

How is he?

You'll know that we did everything that we could.

I'm so very sorry.

No, Phil.

Just like when you flew with the squadron.
