Original subtitles

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.

Won't somebody tell me what I've done wrong?

Morning, Leslie.

Morning.

All about chatting you up when the dozen takes another wound to the ball.

I already even thought of taking it.

I don't think we've seen this little one before.

Wait, what's her name?

Anne.

She's been really off for a couple of weeks. I've been so worried.

Did you not think to call the doctor?

She just won't stop crying and her nose won't stop running and she won't go near

a bottle and she's got this rash around her mouth.

Right, I'll get the doctor to look at her. Just wait here.

Thank you.

I'm a grown woman. I'm entitled to some privacy. You never stick up for me.

Well, it's more than me likes worth to cross your mother.

What's she done this time?

Two women, one bathroom. A recipe for disaster.

She bolts the door at half past ten. It's like being in prison.

All right, I'll have a word. No need.

This dinner time, I'm seeing a well -appointed masonette in Cliffview

Unfurnished, H &C, kitchen, bathroom and front door.

Perfect bachelorette accommodation.

She's a little dehydrated, and you say she's not been feeding?

She won't look at a bottle.

And you're registered at this practice?

Not yet. We've only just moved to the area.

So where was Anne delivered?

She rather took it by surprise.

Her father and I were on holiday in Scotland.

Oh, so she was premature?

Yes. How many weeks?

Two or three.

And how long was she kept in hospital for?

A few days.

In an incubator?

No.

I mean, yes.

Well, I think we'd better take some blood tests and some swabs.

Do you think it's serious?

I'll be able to tell you more when we have the results of the test.

Then you're testing for something specific?

No. Does your husband know you're here?

Well, I called him when I left the house. He's on his way here.

Well, when he's here, we can discuss it a bit further.

If you'd like to wait here while we prepare to take the blood test.

Thank you.

Inflammation of the membrane, blocked nose, blood -staining muscle discharge

perioral eczema.

And that all suggests congenital syphilis.

That should have been picked up by the antenatal test.

When her husband arrives, could you let me know?

You're right, John.

No, I mean, look, link there.

Can I help you? Yeah, it's my arm.

Oh, nasty.

Hey.

I heard you're working here.

You two know each other?

How are you? Well, I've been better.

I'll get the doctor.

None along?

Yeah, I was the best man at her wedding.

I used to know her husband.

I haven't seen her since you lost her.

Right.

Well, follow me.

The authority does not hold you responsible for the death of that

are some lessons to be learned, but there is no suggestion of incompetence.

How very disappointing for you.

You are a very competent doctor, Jill.

Mr Carnegie, you practically accuse me of negligence.

As if it wasn't bad enough having a patient die.

Anyway, on a happier note, I'd like to offer congratulations on your news.

Maybe you could update me on the issue of a replacement.

Well, we can arrange for a locum.

I intend to take a few months off when I have a baby, not the rest of my life.

Are you sure about returning to work?

Is that the advice you give a patient in similar circumstances?

Oh, what, as an elderly prima gravida? No, as my wife.

Gordon, one's brain does not necessarily atrophy the moment one gives birth. Did

you give up your career when your first wife had Tom and Katie?

No. Exactly.

I have absolutely no intention of giving up everything I've worked for because

I've become a mother. It cannot be beyond the realms of human ingenuity to

combine the two, can it?

Well, maybe you feel a little difficult at the time.

Maybe. We should start looking for a nanny. Doctor.

Patient and casualty for you. Thank you, nurse.

Needed a lick of paint.

Needed gutting more wine.

Oh, me own furniture. It might scrub up all right.

Teddy?

Lizzie. What are you doing here?

Just visiting an old mate down in his lark.

You know how it is.

An old mate called Edward Catchpole, Esquire.

You told me you had a penthouse apartment on the seafront.

No longer.

You're looking at Merkasa.

Shemwa. My humble home.

What's wrong?

I'm fine.

No need to worry about me.

Looking upstairs, are you? I was thinking about it, yeah.

How about I fill you in? Give you some insider information.

You can't turn a troll around halfway to Iceland.

So I had to get Paddy to stitch me up.

Well, you can tell Paddy he did a very neat job.

And if he'd used a cleaner needle, he might just have got away with it. The

wound's infected.

So keep the site dry and covered. Come back and see me early next week.

Nurse, could you do an eye -deformed dressing for me, please? And put him on

week's course of ampicillin, 250 milligrams of QDS.

I've written it up on the card.

And I shall leave you in the capable hands of Nurse Dean.

Okay. Thanks, Doctor.

How have you been?

Not so bad.

I meant to keep in touch.

But you know how it is.

Would you hold the door for me, please?

Are you sure you're OK?

Oh, yes.

I've just been a bit off colour the last few weeks.

All right, what is it this time, then?

Botulism? Bubonic plague?

I don't want to burden you with my problems.

Of course you don't.

Anyway, Lizzie, we've got to be getting back.

Now, look, if you're that ill, you should have a lie down.

No, I'll soldier on.

Do you fancy joining me for an ice cream?

Oh, I'd love to.

Wouldn't we, Dad?

Well, the swabs show treponema pallidum.

And the blood test gives a positive that you are, which confirms congenital.

Well, that should have been picked up in her antenatal kit, didn't you think?

Oh, she tells me she did.

She must have contracted it later in pregnancy, from her husband.

With all that implies.

I'm somebody who isn't a husband.

A bit tricky.

Dr. Goodwin, Mr. Hale's arrived.

Right. Cut, please.

Damn thing!

Alan!

I reported that fuser's faulty a week ago.

The whole thing needs rewiring.

This place used to run like clockwork under Mr. Carnegie's regime. It is

becoming a shambles.

Well, the man's liability.

Cancel the remainder of this morning's list, if you please.

I will not work under such primitive conditions.

I have the results of the test.

I'm sorry to have to tell you that your daughter is suffering from congenital

syphilis.

No.

Now, we can't treat it with penicillin.

I am, however, concerned that this wasn't picked up on during your

care, Mrs Hale.

I'm afraid I would also expect you both to show positive syphilis.

I'll need to take blood and swabs from you both. I can do that here and now, if

that's OK with you.

You think she picked up a venereal disease from me?

What kind of man do you think I am? Please.

However unsavoury this may be to the both of you, the facts of the matter

be ignored.

One...

If not both of you, he's carrying this infection.

And syphilis is a very serious illness.

Left untreated, it will kill.

She didn't pick up this disease from us, Doctor.

She's not our child.

She's... adopted.

But, Matron, I have better facilities in a tent in Korea.

I will not operate until the situation is rectified.

Shall I send the rest of today's list home?

Yes, Nurse. I will mention the implications.

If we are to deal with an emergency without adequate illumination, we will

unable to operate.

I'm well aware of that, Mr. Rowan. I suggest that Mr. Carnegie deals with

as a matter of urgency.

I intend to operate as scheduled in the morning. Good day, Matron.

How about coming out tonight?

Do you think you're up to it? What would you have been to Paulick? I'll struggle

through.

I'll pick you up about eight.

Just a sec.

Until I catch my breath.

Not before you see the doctor.

Dad! Well, he's that ill he could keel over at any second.

As if those hard -working doctors aren't busy enough.

Well, that's what they're there for.

Unless all you're suffering from is raging hypochondria.

Be a lot of that in our line, you know.

Glass back, confidence restricted.

You're not one of them, are you, Teddy?

Look. If there's an out -wrong, then we can put this poor troubled soul's mind

at rest. But if there is, we can make sure he knows about it. Makes sense to

I've got an appointment in half an hour.

New line and greeting cards could be a goer.

Nothing more important than your health.

How's your mum?

Still only me to find myself a nice girl and settle down.

Have you found her?

I might have.

It just didn't seem right.

I felt like I'd be intruding.

But now you're back to something like normal. Normal?

I've stopped being normal the day I lost Jack.

I'd like to take you out, Catherine.

How about it?

I don't know. It's difficult.

Just a drink.

What's the harm?

How about tonight?

When do you finish work?

I could be ready by half seven.

Okay. I'll meet you here, then.

Okay.

I'm sorry to say, for the first time in the history of this hospital, we've had

to send a patient home.

Mr. Middleditch made maintenance a priority.

It's on my list, Matron. Without a fully functioning theatre, the doctors cannot

operate. Believe me, Matron, I'm dealing with it.

You owe my wife an apology.

If you'd made things clear from the start, we could have avoided any

embarrassment.

Now, if you could give me the details of the adoption agency, I can make a start

on tracing the mother. Why do you need to do that?

As I explained, left untreated, syphilis can kill.

We can't help you.

I don't understand.

There was no third party involved.

We made a private arrangement.

Is the mother related to you?

We rescued this child from the gutter, Doctor.

That's all you need to know.

I lost three.

And they're carried.

They're nothing.

The Doctor said they never would be.

We love her. We want her. That's all that matters.

The mother of this baby is probably unaware that she's ill.

Now, if I don't find her, she may well die.

Do you want that on your conscience?

Or do I need to take this matter further?

You'll find her at the Variety Theatre.

Her name is Paula Thornberry.

Thank you.

I can't hang about.

Not with head office cracking the whip about this new range.

They'll understand, won't they?

Can't have the salesman keeling over in the line of duty.

Wait here, Doctor, won't be long.

Do you really think he's putting it on?

He's got shifty malingera written all over him.

Right, would you like me to see Teddy?

He's over there, acting as if he's at death's door. We were wondering if you

could give him a thorough examination.

I'd be delighted.

Teddy, would you like to come with me?

Excuse me, I'm looking for Paula Saundry.

Paula, Luke here for you.

Hi, nice girls.

Nice to be having you.

You?

This is a restricted area.

I'll be sorry.

I'm looking for Paula Saundry. What for?

Oh, that's the person. Listen, laddie. No gentleman followers until after the

show. Oh, no, no, I don't think you understand.

I'm a doctor. A doctor? If you're Ingo Starr, if you want to see the girls, you

get out front with the other punters.

Oh, just pop that on the side for me, would you? Thank you.

I can't remember the last time an attractive woman had me in such a

position.

Right, so you're complaining of discomfort in the chest area,

sort of thing.

Terrible.

I lie in bed at night and I can hear my heart thumping away.

Any other symptoms?

I feel a bit dizzy now and then.

Nothing to get worked up about.

And I'm always, you know, going.

I see.

Though that could have more to do with Elson being best bitter.

I'm rather partial to a point or two.

Thirsty work, sales, all that talking.

All right.

If you'll just bear with me a second. This won't take a moment.

I have a fear of needles, Doctor.

I just need to take a bit of blood and build before you know it. I don't feel

so.

Oh, thank you.

A little local difficulty, dear boy. I wonder if you'd give me a lift back up

the hospital.

Where are you heading? I've got a patient to see up at Devil's Cliff.

Oh. Well, thanks to Mr. Carnegie, I have a bit of spare time on my hands and a

bit of sea air won't do me any harm.

Hop in. I'll take you there myself.

Come here often, do you, Doctor?

I'm Paula.

What do you want?

Is there somewhere we could talk?

Pretty girl, eh?

Our Paula.

I just wanted a word.

Pay up front and you can have as long as you like.

This is a personal matter. Ten shillings.

Or you hop it.

House rules.

Enjoy yourself, Doctor.

He fainted.

Betty. Patients not so confidential.

He's doing his best to make it look convincing.

They're all actors, these salesmen. That's how they make their money.

So what's the verdict?

I've got to come back later for my results.

And I said you'd make him a nice cup of sweet tea, seeing as though he's lost so

much blood.

Go on, then.

You haven't got a biscuit, have you?

Only I've come over all faint.

A woman called Ella Hale.

told me that you were the mother of her child, the child she adopted.

Well, whoever she is, she's lying.

It's very important I trace this woman.

Well, I'd like to help you, Doctor, but I can't, so if you don't mind, we're on

again in half an hour.

If I were to tell you that this child was seriously ill, with a disease her

mother passed on to her, would that change her opinion?

She's sick.

And so is her mother.

If she doesn't get treatment soon, she could die.

That's why you have to help me, Tracer.

You neglected to mention you were visiting this encampment.

Did I? Sorry.

As you'll be aware, I have contributed at length in the lively correspondence

the local newspaper about the continuing presence of these anarchists.

I don't think I was aware, no.

It's astonishing.

These people just turn up and demand medical treatment willy -nilly.

A child was scolded. The mother brought her into casualty.

A little concerned she didn't turn up for her appointment this morning.

She's got a thousand grown children.

Can we have a ride in your car, mister?

Please? Fingers off the paintwork.

I'll be with you.

So why Ella?

They go to church.

They've got money.

She'll bring her up, right?

How do you know her?

She used to do this charity work.

Got right up Stan's nose.

I found out she lost a baby and I was expecting mine.

Did she offer you money?

Stan sorted all that out.

She was desperate for a child.

How could I bring up a kid? There's no ring on my finger, is there?

There's not likely to be one either.

Did you see a doctor?

Did you have any kind of antenatal care at all?

We went to stay up the coast.

Pretended we were sisters.

Midwife came, signed me off.

Ella went back home with the baby.

I came back here.

A couple of weeks later, I went to see them.

She turned on me.

Reckoned she'd call the police if I went back.

You've got to come with me to the hospital, Paula. You need treatment.

And I'm afraid I'm going to need a list of any... boyfriend.

You think they give me their names and addresses?

I'll come.

If you let me see my baby.

I was just a little concerned when you missed your appointment, that's all.

Well, I've been applying a poll to Savannah Kern Conference.

Seems to be coming along nicely.

Yes. Yes, it is.

Well, that's looking much better, Isla. Well done.

Look, we have a mother and child clinic every fortnight at Laura.

You'd be very welcome.

We're moving on tomorrow.

I see.

Well, good luck.

Help! Help! You've got to help!

Young man, you nearly caused a serious accident.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

What is it, Rose? It's not...

The pipe!

The tide's coming in! He's not moving!

I told you not to go there!

I told you it was dangerous! I suggest we waste no more time. I'll get my bag.

I'll be right with you.

So will you keep on building high until there's no more room left there?

Are you playing? You just fell in. Did I fall all that way?

Nah. Can you hear me now?

How are we going to get him out of that?

Over there!

Jack!

There's another way!

Quick as you can.

You need to take one of these every day and make another appointment to come

back and see me again next week.

I would suggest that you abstain. Promise me you won't tell Stan, please.

What we discuss in here is confidential.

But I am concerned about your circumstances.

Stan Caesar's right, Doctor.

He keeps an eye on us, makes sure we're safe.

It's a respectable club he runs.

What about your family?

My dad's dead.

My mum's new fella and me didn't get on.

I got a lift down here with a wagon driver.

Ended up in a cafe on the front.

Nowhere to go, no money, nothing.

Stan walked in, bought me a cup of tea.

He gave me a job and some work to do.

I landed on my feet.

So, I get to see you now.

You promised.

He's obviously fancied you for years. He's telling me you've never noticed.

Oh, forget about him. He's had a million chances to make his move and he hasn't

bothered. I feel such an idiot.

Which is why you've got to stop moving over what you can't have and start

enjoying what you can.

I'm still married, remember?

To a drowned man. What the heck use is that?

It's true.

You're still young.

You deserve a life. He'd want that for you, wouldn't he?

What if we don't get on? Well, we can make up a fourth of them. Then if you

decide you can't stand them, we can take you home.

We?

Alan, are you doing anything tonight?

Er, no, not much. Why?

Fancy coming to the pub with me and Catherine and her new fella.

Fantastic.

He's not my new fella.

Not yet.

I've got a date with Stella.

And I never thought I'd stood a chance with her.

Ah, well, it wouldn't have happened in my day. Well, that's after the block

If you could just distract them, just for a moment.

I don't think so, Doctor.

Look, I promised you could see the child. It's the only way she'd accept

treatment. If I let her down now, she might not come back.

What about another cup of tea and we'll let the doctor examine Anne?

Three, two, three.

We'll need some assistance up here.

Should we run, there's a difficulty ourselves.

Leave this to us.

We'll take good care of him.

Right.

Thanks, Vince.

Forward, I think.

You missed me, little girl.

Come on, Paula, that's enough, right?

The doctor's still having a look at her. Why don't you take a seat in the

waiting room?

And you, a woman of God.

Put her down.

You see what you did to this child?

Only weeks old and already she's been tainted.

I never meant to hurt her. Give her back. Give her to me.

I can hold her if I want.

You can't stop me. You gave her to us. You agreed it was for the best.

You told me I could see her.

You promised I'd be able to see her and you lied to me.

All you need is the money. You don't care about her.

Have you just listened for a second? What did you think you were doing

her here?

No court in the land would return that child to a common prostitute.

Perhaps you'd care to explain what all this is about, Doctor.

You can't play pass the parcel with a baby.

I must insist that the authorities are involved.

You mustn't. You can't. Please, I'll get into trouble. I promise not to tell.

Yeah, call the police. I don't care. Tell them what the tart gets up to every

night. I will not have these allegations bandied around my hospital.

It's filthy and moral and disgusting and she's not fit to be a mother. That's

enough!

Paula, you don't need to listen to this. Come with me.

I just wanted what was best for my baby.

It'd be best for your baby if you just disappeared. Get out of our lives and

hers and stay out.

Mr and Mrs Hale, if you'd like to come to my office.

Paula, give me this, please.

Involve the police and the baby will be taken into care. The mother questioned,

what could all that do? I received a phone call this afternoon from a patient

concerned that one of our doctors was frequenting a strip joint. I was there

professional reasons as well, you know. Jeff, I advise you to be very careful.

Very careful indeed.

out of the water.

Let's find another way out.

Oh,

sister, you've not seen Paula, have you? I left her in the waiting room with a

cup of tea.

Well, she's not there now.

The baby.

I, Paula Saundry, give my baby Anne to be adopted by Ellen David Hale.

Please be kind to her. Tell her that her mum loved her very much and will be

watching over her every night when she sleeps.

Oh, no. What's she done?

We need to find her.

Hale! I'm going to need you!

Can you get that hatch open?

I'd rather not need her, if you please.

No time to wait for an ambulance. We'll have to take my car.

This man told me only this morning there's nothing he'd like better than a

in the vehicle.

He's going to get booted out as a malingerer any second you mark my words.

Shh! She's going to see you dressed in bed. Your blood pressure is within the

normal range, and I could find nothing wrong with your heart.

I'm sorry for wasting your time, Doctor.

I'm afraid, though, that the test did reveal that you have diabetes.

Teddy.

You what?

Your body is deficient in insulin, the hormone which regulates the levels of

sugar in your blood. So I will be prescribing insulin, which you're going

have to take every day.

You're going to have to reduce your intake of alcohol. You're going to have

watch what you eat.

Diabetes? But the good news is that we can manage this condition, OK?

So, if you pop back and see me tomorrow, I will have drawn up a diet sheet for

you.

and we can just have a good chat about your medication, how it's going to be

administered, and any questions you might have, really.

What would have happened if you hadn't found this out today?

Well, in my opinion, you have an awful lot to thank Lizzie for.

So, what's the verdict, then?

I've got diabetes.

Thank you so much, Ken.

He's in shock!

internal bleeding. We need to get him into bed straight away. Larkin Electrics

better not be malfunctioning again. I shall have Carnegie's head in a basket.

No, Ken and Alan, big day.

My apologies. We've just sold all our old factory sensors. All right, come on.

If you're some kind of novelty,

we're not.

We're looking for Paula.

Where is she?

You tell me.

Tell us or I'll get the police to wring it out of you.

Please, this is very urgent.

I'll take your help.

Let's see what's causing this bleeding, shall we? Scalpel, please.

Why don't you come and sit down?

I'll organise a cup of tea.

I'm not leaving here till we know.

Dad thought you were trying it on.

And you?

Well... He doesn't like me much, your dad.

I'm his little princess, aren't I?

You can see his point.

I'm too old for you.

You've seen where I live.

It's hardly Castle Howard.

I'm a thick man, Lizzie. He could do much better than me.

Blood on the abdomen here. Suction, please, nurse.

Ah, nice little tear in the skin there. We'll have to whip that out. Hot packs,

please, nurse.

Pull some blood pressure away, darling.

He's arresting.

He says to stall it.

Cardiac adrenaline, please, nurse.

We saw Strolley, please.

We have four minutes, everyone. Stand by for deeper relation.

Clear?

Holy mother of all things.

Paula?

Paula, can you hear me?

What did she have to go into that for?

She's still with us, thank God. Pressure bandages, please. Get an ambulance now.

How about Giovanni's tonight to celebrate?

Your dad's got it in for me.

It would never work.

He couldn't stand me ex -husband at first, but he got used to him.

And when I'm moving upstairs... You're taking the fat?

We won't have him breathing down our necks all the time, will we?

I'm more than happy to go out for dinner with a broke, ancient diabetic.

If you don't mind going out with a divorced, left -on -the -shelf woman,

wrong side of 21.

I'd be honoured.

Let me find you a place Where the curse of the day will be carried

away By the smile on your face

We are together now and forever.

We've had three and a half minutes.

We're running out of time. And again.

Prepare to defibrillate.

Clear.

Silence rhythm.

Steady.

After all we've been through, I should jolly well think so.

Let's close him up, shall we, nurse?

Get out.

That girl's like a daughter to me. Why the hell did she try and kill herself

then? She had the kid adopted.

What else could she do? She wasn't married, was she?

I did her a favour.

Take it from me.

That's the last you've seen of Paula Saundry.

And the police will be keen to interview you about your role in the adoption of

that child.

And with a bit of luck, they'll take an interest in your other less volubious

business activities.

Cross me, you laddie. And you have a fight on your hands.

Of course, match two units of own there, please, lad.

He's a lucky boy.

If he hadn't been on hand, the prognosis would have been quite different.

What do you think?

That you're going to go home and get changed?

Oh, I'm only joking.

Billy, meet Alan and Stella.

Your chaperones.

Her mates.

Can't let us see a fellow without giving him the once -over, can we?

So what are we doing, then?

How about pictures?

Trocadero's got those seats for courting couples in back row.

Erm, yeah, but then we couldn't talk.

I'd sell for a drink.

I'd love to.

See, it's the carton cup as you're pushing your luck.

You're joking! It was supposed to be a double date, remember?

Oh, go on, then. You're biting.

And if it's told outside, then I got them to me.

The sisters run a charity in Scotland to help girls in her position

get them back on their feet, you know.

See what I can do for them.

What about her daughter?

She's out of her hands now.

What must it be like, eh?

To go through life with nobody on your side.

She was lucky you found her.

There's so many poor ones out there.

You can't help them all.

All we can do is our best.

All we can do is patch him up and send him right back to their problems. We

don't make a difference.

That's for our Lord to do.

We just pick up the pieces.

Oh, I don't know, sister.

I don't know if I've got the stomach for this anymore.

What is the point?
