All language subtitles for The Royal s08e03 These Foolish Things

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?

That's the best he can do.

Put him down, you don't know where he's
been.

See you then.

Back to normal.

See, that's what I've been looking
forward to.

Yes! Bad backs, hemorrhoids.

Malingras after sickness?

I look forward to every single one of
them.

Oh, I beg your pardon. After you.

Dr. Ormerod?

Uh, yes. Guilty as charged.

I'm Jean McAteer.

Your new administrator?

Oh, um... Right. And you must be Dr.
Wetherill? Yes.

Yes, hello.

Poet? Dead romantic.

At the moment, he's working as an
English teacher, but that's just

She's got a new fella.

Oh, another one.

He's gorgeous. Come on, more details.

It's worth exactly sure when to expect
you. So, um, I persuaded Dr Ellis, uh,

Rose's anaesthetist, to stay for another
day.

He's been wonderful helping out with
locum cover. We've been pretty

overstretched. Oh, Doctor, thank heavens
you're back. It's been a right muddle

here. Well, that's not to say a muddle,
exactly.

Lizzie, it's lovely to see you too. Oh,
Dr Ellis.

Can I introduce you to Doctors Ormerod
and Wetherill?

Just returned from Ireland. Oh, all
right. Jolly good.

We were beginning to think you'd
decamped altogether.

Well, I'm beginning to think that I had.

Well, in the end, I think it's what Myra
would have wanted.

Well, their omelettes will certainly
ensure that the child has every

in life. Good morning, Matron. Oh, no,
Selby.

I don't think you've met Sister Bridget.

Oh, good morning, Sister.

Miss Selby, please meet you. Stay away
from him, OK? He's my boyfriend.

I beg your pardon?

Stay away from Paul Harmon.

Excuse me, young lady. He's spoken for,
OK? So just leave him alone.

What's going on?

I'm sorry, Matron, I've no idea what
that was about.

Please excuse me.

I had your breakfast.

I'm hungry.

A swim first, then a picnic.

Go on, lad, drop it.

Pig.

Well, if they were going to replace
Carnegie so quickly, why on earth didn't

they consult us first?

What we urgently need is a new doctor,
not a new administrator.

I have to say, though, she certainly
seems to have grasped the reins.

Why are men so easily taken in by a
pretty face, do you think?

Who the hell is she, Paul? She just
walked in in a boulder's breath.

It's nothing.

Just a stupid schoolgirl prank. She
probably did it for a date.

Yeah, well, I'm not amused, and nor with
Matron.

Carol, I'll sort it out, I promise.

Look, I've got to go. I've got to go.

Your private life is your own, Nurse
Selby.

So long as it doesn't interfere with the
efficient running of this hospital.

Oh, no, Matron.

I'm sorry.

Who's most urgent?

The boy over there. His ankle may be
broken.

Okay, thank you.

I was expecting to see you back tomorrow
morning, Doctor.

Didn't you? Why not?

Surely the children will need you until
things settle down again.

And Aisling.

Aisling's been very well taken care of
by her new nanny, so she's fine.

You have a new nanny already?

Yes. She came very highly recommended.
She worked for the family of a colleague

in York.

She was able to start straight away. I
see.

Is she a Catholic?

I have absolutely no idea, I didn't ask.

Oh, no.

Merton hasn't got his own repairs again.

No, this is a private matter.

Yeah, but they're the hospital plans.

Can you keep a secret?

Well, that depends.

Take a look at that.

Beachcomber finds smuggler's gold.

Mr Terry Braithwaite of Station Lane
Whitby has... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,

that's... The point is, this whole
coastline was known to be riddled with

smuggling in days gone by.

And that bloke found a coin on the beach
that was confirmed to be Spanish gold.

Lucky him.

And Darth Pellet gave it to the museum.

Well, he couldn't have kept it, could
he?

This old map has come into my
possession.

You mean you bought it from a junk shop?
Never mind where I got it from. It

shows the secret passages and dens used
by smugglers under these very cliffs.

So? So we could be sitting on a fortune
in Spanish gold.

What do you mean, under the hospital?

Exactly.

Julie, I wanted to give you your essay
back.

Another A+. Well done.

Helps having such a good teacher.

And that's exactly what I am.

Your teacher.

What do you mean?

Come on.

What was all this nonsense at the
hospital this morning?

What about Abelard and Eloise?

He was her teacher.

I've told you before, you've got to stop
following me, Julie.

Paul, you don't understand how I feel.

This is getting silly.

And I won't have you upsetting my
girlfriend.

Do you really like her better than me?

You're 16.

Won't always be.

This stops right here and now, OK?

You and me, it's not on.

Now, I hope we've got that clear.

This is the life, eh?

Look at me.

I'm a seagull. More like an idiot.

You seen their nest up on the cliff
there?

Well, when I were a lad, we used to
collect gulls' eggs.

I bet you couldn't get one.

I bet I could.

How about one of them beers, love?

It's a bit early, yes. Oh, don't fuss,
woman.

You two gonna come and get your
sandwiches?

And when I walked in, he hadn't a stitch
on.

Well, I've never had a colleague behave
quite like that, but I'll take your word

for it.

Oh, sorry.

That's all right. Jim was telling a
funny story.

Oh, right, I see. Oh, I must get on.

I've got loads to do.

I can't think what.

Oh, come on, darling, she's not that
bad.

Don't darling me, Gordon Allmerod.

I've slipped a bridge in a complete...

knit with me because we have the
temerity to hire a nanny without

her.

Well, she is Aisling's aunt.

Yeah, well, it feels like she's judging
me. She doesn't approve of working

mothers, does she?

She thinks I should be at home with the
children.

Well, I hardly think she would have let
us take Aisling if that's what she

really thought.

Oh, sorry to interrupt her. There's been
an urgent call from the high school.

They've got an emergency.

Right. Yes, thanks, Lizzie.

Don't look so beleaguered, Gordon. I'll
get it.

Gary Morgan, come down here this minute!

I can see the egg!

Gary, come down here now!

Your mother's right, son. Come down!

I can get them!

Gary, I'm not going to tell you twice!

What's your name?

Julie Waller.

Hello, Julie. I'm Dr Wetherill.

Can you tell me what you've taken?

I feel sick.

Aspen, right. I expect you do feel sick.
Can you tell me how many you've taken?

Was it the whole bottle?

All right.

We need to get it back to the Lord as
quickly as possible.

So, really, it could be anywhere.

Yes, but it's here.

That's where the treasure is, under the
cliffs.

The problem is how to get to it.

Are you just eating all those chips
without saving me a single one?

You know, we really are very grateful to
you for helping out, covering for both

Jill and myself.

I don't think a locum could have
managed. No problem. I'm just glad I

Master.

I've got a very long list of Astrid E.
General tomorrow. I trust he'll be back

in the saddle again.

Good and easy to take time to train up.

He knows all my foibles.

Of which, if we're honest, there are
many.

Anyway, I'm sure you'll be glad to get
back.

Actually, to be honest, I've enjoyed
doing a bit of general practice again.

Getting out and about and helping
people. Being locked in theatre day in,

out can get a bit claustrophobic.

Really?

What... Excuse me.

Yes, Izzy.

All right, tell them I'll be right
there.

Coast Guard's been on. Young boy stuck
halfway up a cliff, unconscious.

Can I be of any help?

Maybe you can.

Can I sit you for my life, mate?

OK, this is an aspirin overdose.

Stomach washout straight away. I'll also
need to take blood for salicylates,

blood glucose and serum electrolytes.
Yes, Doctor.

Lifter on my count. One, two, three.

Julie!

We're going to have to put a tube down
into your stomach now, all right? No, I

just want to go home.

There, Selby, two grams of sodium
bicarbonate and 100 mils of warm water,

as you can, please.

Yes, it's that.

All right, so, um, a bottle is around 50
tablets, which is easily enough to kill

somebody, so... The crucial thing is
that we get as many tablets out of her

stomach as we can with the washout
before she has a chance to be absorbed

her system.

I mean, she is so young.

Why would she do such a thing, do you
know?

It's me.

Okay, well, if you contact the parents.

It's just her and her widowed mother.

I'll go and find them. Right.

Right, Julie, I need you to try and help
me now, if you can. We're going to need

to put this tube right down into your
stomach. Turn on your side for me.

No, no!

Just onto your side. Good girl.

Good girl.

Feet up, please. No!

Lizzie?

I'd like some coffee in the boardroom
for the League of Friends committee

meeting.

Margot! How are you? Good afternoon.

Good afternoon, Matron. You well? I
didn't realise the hospital had a League

Friends. Yeah?

There's no reason I should be their
ruddy tea lady.

I shall be back to collect you later, my
dear.

Try not to give away too much of my
money.

It's a charity, Howard. That's the whole
point.

Now, Matron, the agenda.

Who's she? The chairman?

Mrs Price.

The mayor thinks the sun shines out of
her.

You know what.

Do they raise a lot of money for the
hospital, then?

Loads. Mainly because the Price is a
filthy rich. He owns the big print

They know all the talks.

I should never have mentioned the gold
egg.

What is this taking ages? Can't this go
any faster?

Try not to worry.

We'll be there soon.

What's going on, Paul?

Who is this kid?

One minute she's in here having a go at
me, the next she's over -hosting, comes

in on a stretcher. Her name's Julie
Walton.

I've been giving her extra tuition for
Oxbridge entrance.

She's a very bright girl, but, well,
over -imaginative.

What's that supposed to mean?

She's got a bit of a crush on me.

After you called, I had a word with her.
Put her straight.

So she took an overdose because of me
and you? She's just a silly little girl,

Carol. I swear, I never encouraged her.
One little bit.

Right,

according to this map, the secret tunnel
goes up from the beach and under these

cliffs. All the people have used this
beach.

You'd have thought someone had found it
by now.

Yeah, but it could be blocked.

I'm not going in there.

They're full of creepy crawlies.

That's been brought by Rockfall. But
there's some kind of a tunnel there, all

right. So? So it means the map is right.
And if the map is right, it leads to a

smuggler's den right under the hospital.

If we start digging out tons of rock
onto this beach, do you not think

will notice?

Come on.

All right.

Nearly done.

Nearly there.

All right.

There we are.

That's the worst bit over with me,
Julie.

When can I go home?

Well, you'll be here for a few days, I'm
afraid, Julie.

Very dangerous thing you did to
yourself, you know.

Can I talk to Mr Harmon?

Well, I think he's gone home, but he's
contacted your mum, so she's on the way.

Now, look.

What was that all about?

Did you really want to kill yourself?

No.

Ladies, I'd like to bid you all a warm
welcome and begin by reminding you that

our target for this year is £500.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I didn't realise anyone was in here.

I'm still getting to know my way around.

Ladies, let me introduce Jean McAteer,
our new hospital administrator.

Ah, well, this is very fortunate, Miss
McAteer.

We, for our sins, are the fundraising
committee of the hospital's League of

Friends. Really?

How splendid.

I never knew such a thing existed.

Well, perhaps you'd like to sit in, get
a glimpse of our secret plots and plans.

Thank you. I'd love to.

So, if anyone's got any bright ideas
about how to fleece our friends and

neighbours of their hard -earned cash...

They go on and on.

Hand in hand, they watch me cry.

Two by two.

Hand in hand.

Lonely nights, I bring you back.

I've been calling and calling him, but
he can't hear me. He hasn't moved at

Where is he?

Don't worry, love. Look at him now.

We're setting up the gate and then
they're going to wish me down to the

OK.

Yes,

we did hear that Mr Carnegie had left.

Though I must say he never interested
himself much in our efforts.

How very foolish of him.

I've always believed local community
involvement in the hospital to be

essential. The DHA is all for it. I
can't think why.

Isn't it just another source of funding
they can't control? Yes, but in a

hospital such as this.

You're all right, Marco.

Yes,

it's just a spot of indigestion.

Oh, I love coffee, but it doesn't always
like me.

OK, here we go.

half the cliff down on him. Okay, just
let me think.

Take this.

If I can get up to him, maybe I can
shield him.

Ellis, what the blazes are you doing,
man? You can't climb up to him.

It's fine.

I can make it.

Come on, Alan.

Just go to the boardroom, collect up the
cup and open them up for me.

I can't. I'm busy. I'm helping Jack.

Have you got a tape measure?

What do you want for the tape measure?

I want to measure something.

Dammit!

Gary!

Gary, can you hear me?

Unconscious!

What's alive?

Possible skull fracture.

Pulse is weak.

Airways are clear.

Right, I'm going to get a neck brace on
him and get him onto this stretcher

straight away.

Give me a hand, will you?

All right.

Generally does it.

For God's sake, man. You should never
have attempted this without the harness.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

I'm going to connect him to the
stretcher. Give me some slack.

Okay.

You sure you're all right?

You can hold on.

I'll admire the view.

Oh.

Dr. Weatherall.

I was hoping we could have a chat at
some point.

Get to know each other's priorities.

Yeah, yeah, absolutely, of course.

I've got a call at work. My daughter's
been in some kind of accident.

What's the name, love? Julie, Julie
Walton.

Well, Mrs. Walton, I'm Dr. Weather. I'm
treating your daughter. Would you like

to come through?

We'll have a chat later, shall we? Yeah.

You and him are up to something, aren't
you?

No. I know me Uncle Jack.

I'm not supposed to tell anyone.

the harness straight down to you.

Okay?

Miss McAteer seems a very capable young
woman.

What we could do with is someone a
little less capable who would leave the

running of this hospital to those who
know what they're doing.

You've got to move with the times,
Matron.

The DHA holds the purse strings.

My advice is make her your best friend.

Oh, I hardly think that she and I
have... Come and sit down.

How long has this been going on?

I told you, it's nothing.

Nothing?

You're a fine one to give advice. You
need to see a doctor.

Only if it's that nice Dr. Ormerod.

I think you're right about the fracture.
There's a bruise at the temple.

The left eye is dilated and fixed.

The right is normal, still responsive.

It suggests rising intracranial
pressure.

We need to call ahead to the Royal. Tell
them we need a surgeon standing by.

Sort of mad thing I'd have done at his
age.

I can believe that.

I'm afraid Julie's accident was self
-inflicted, Mrs Walton.

She took an overdose of aspirin.

My God, why would she do such a thing?

So, um, we've washed out her stomach.

I've admitted her for observation and
I'm hoping that she will recover without

any permanent damage.

If she was that unhappy, why didn't she
tell me?

I really don't think you should blame
yourself. Teenagers can be so difficult,

can't they? And secretive.

All this extra schoolwork and exams.

I know Julie's very bright and I want
the best for her.

But perhaps the pressure's been too
much.

20 papers in that direction.

How long's the pace?

Well, you know, just an average pace.

Yeah, but in olden days they were
shorter.

All right, then. A shorter pace.

One, two, three.

There's rum born every minute, isn't
there?

Spanish gold under the hospital.

I told you to keep still.

I tortured him. Serious, Uncle Jack.

Every souvenir shop in town sells
treasure maps.

Not like this one. This is the genuine
article.

I can't believe you'd be taken in by
something like this.

Wait till I tell everyone.

There are records of tunnels being
sealed before this hospital was built.

The bloke gave me this map. If I agreed
to split whatever I found, 50 -50.

You said you'd split it with me, 50 -50.
You'll get half of my half.

This is my chance, Lizzie. My one chance
to make some real money.

OK. Get your wig on.

Right.

One, two...

Three, four, five.

Oh, he's been unconscious for possibly
an hour. Looks like an extradural

hematoma. Get him ready for theatre.

I want neck and skull x -rays.

Ellis, I'll need you to meet the guys.
Yes, Mr Rose.

Listen, Dr Allmott, I know I
accidentally... No harm done.

But thank you.

Sister Bridget, when the boys' parents
arrive... Will you let me know, please?

will. Doctor, could I trouble you for a
quick private word?

Of course.

What is it?

It's probably just me.

The nanny.

Obviously, you needed to get somebody
urgently.

Look, I think the best thing is if you
meet the nanny as soon as possible, and

if she feels she's in any way
unsuitable... Oh, no, no, no. I'm sure

her, she'll be fine.

I don't want you to think I'm
interfering.

Aisling's your niece.

Always will be.

I'd never think of it as interfering.

I knew you'd understand.

Doctor, have you got a minute?

Could you take a look at Margot Price?

I don't think she's at all well.

OK.

Oh, lovey!

What were you thinking?

Sorry, Mum. All these extra exams. I
said it was too much.

Julie, I'm going to speak frankly.

You did a very foolish thing.

You could have died.

Now, luckily, you were found in time.

And all being well, we should be able to
let you go home in a couple of days.

OK?

I'm going to give that Mr Harmon a piece
of my mind. He's been pushing you far

too hard. No, Mum, don't do that. It's
not his fault.

There's your fracture line.

Crossing the area of the anterior branch
of the middle meningeal artery, which

it will have torn.

That's the source of the bleeding, then.

Burr holes in the skull to release
intracranial pressure.

I shall need a drill and a burr.

Right.

Let's get cracking, then.

Scalpel, please.

Good to have you back on board, Ellis.

Two, three, 24.

It's 25.

I reckon this is it.

You got the pickaxe?

You must be joking. With my back.

I didn't risk it.

You can't expect me to do all the
digging.

I think you would. Under here.

Gold, Alan.

More than you've ever dreamt of.

Put some beef into it, then.

Pulse rate is falling.

Blood pressure's still rising. I don't
like the look of this tool.

Swab, please.

Suction.

That's certainly relieved the pressure.
How's he doing?

Yeah, pulse rate's coming up. He looks
better.

And breathe out.

OK. You can put your clothes on.

Mr Price. What's happened? Is she all
right? It's just indigestion. I'm fine.

I'm not too sure about that, Mrs Price.

I'd like to admit you for observation.

Observation? Why? What do you think it
is?

Don't flap, Howard. Let the man speak.

I suspect you may have a heart
condition, but I need to run some tests.

Bloods, ECGs, x -rays and so on. A heart
condition?

Well, what are you going to do about it?
What did you say?

X -ray, test?

And then we'll know if we go.

Thank you, Dr Ormrod.

He'll be transferred to Ashfordly
General, where we can offer more

care. But he's not a dangerous person.

Will he be okay?

One step at a time.

Sister Bridget can arrange for you to
travel over with him in the ambulance.

Thank you, Doctor.

Nothing like a surgical emergency to get
the adrenaline flowing.

More exciting than being a GP, eh,
Alice?

Oh, I don't know.

Rusking the boy from the cliff face was
pretty exciting.

What are you reading?

A poem.

Paul wrote it for me last Christmas.

My bright, shining star.

Like a beacon in the mist, you remind me
of hopes waning.

It's poetry.

You can't really read too much into it.

Just poetry?

How could he go out with someone as
stupid as you?

Presumably it's just for the sex.

How dare you?

Well, you are sleeping with him, aren't
you?

How's the boy?

Oh, stabilized.

Been transferred to us from the general
for follow -up. Good. Look, mind if I

ask your opinion on something else?

Margot's so tough.

I've always assumed I'd be the one to
fall apart first.

And the thought of losing her, I just...
Once we get the test results in and we

have the full picture, there's plenty
that modern medicine can do for a heart

condition. I'm sure you're right.

But you're going to have to be the
strong one now, Howard.

She'll need looking after.

Well, this clearly points to an
expanding aortic aneurysm.

But why?

A woman in her 60s, no sign of
arteriosclerosis.

There is, of course, one distant
possibility.

Ooh.

Well, it's not very likely, but... if I
were you, I'd do a WR and a VDRL test

anyway.

Just to be sure.

Yes.

Lizzie, we just need a bit of help.

And what are you going to do with all
that earth? Just wheel it out through

casualty in a wheelbarrow.

Wheelbarrow? What's going on?

Something I should know about.

Just clearing some old rubbish out of
the basement.

That place can easily get cluttered up,
you know.

Mia, wasn't that the new boyfriend
coming in with that school kid?

Silly girl overdosed at school.

Paul takes his job very seriously. He
wanted to make sure she was all right.

That's the kind of bloke he is.

Hello.

Petra. I was wondering, Margot Price's
test.

Come in.

I suspect an expanding aortic aneurysm.

But I've asked the lab for a Wasserman
reaction and a VDRL test as well.

But they died for syphilis? Yes.

I'm wondering if tertiary syphilis may
have caused the aortic aneurysm.

Oh, no. With all due respect, Doctor,
Margot Price couldn't possibly have

Nurse!

Sister!

Is that not a case, thank you?

Fetch Doctor Wetherill out.

Julie. Pulse is 120.

Blood pressure is only 60 over 40.

Aspirin must have caused acute
ulcerative erosion of the stomach. I

going to avoid this.

Nurse, turn up the drip. Run a litre of
normal saline as soon as possible.

Assistant, we're going to need emergency
ONA blood.

Yes, Doctor.

Right, Julie.

Um, we're going to try and operate and
see if we can stop this bleeding in your

stomach, all right? Paul!

Paul, that's her teacher, isn't it?

Yeah. I think she's a bit smitten with
him.

We're going to have to speed this up,
you know.

Yeah, well, if we were both digging,
maybe we could.

You want to see me crippled for life?

No. Three -way split, right?

When does she get in on the act?

We need her help.

These are all I could find.

Yeah. I'll have to do.

Start shoveling the muck in here, Alan.

The Bahamas, that's where I'm going.

Get a house on the beach, live like a
film star.

Right, that's it, I've had enough.

Someone else can do some digging.

Don't look at me.

Massive haematimesis as a result of
acute ulcerative erosion of the stomach.

So we're looking for the bleeding point.

Don't like the look of this.

Urgent, you said.

What's up?

Julie Walton's in theatre.

Her stomach started haemorrhaging.

Why call me?

She was asking for you.

She might die.

Looks like we've got multiple erosions.

Sir, heart rate's rising, blood
pressure's still falling. Not happy, my

Give her some vitamin K, Ellis.

Probably the anticlotic effect of the
aspirin that's exacerbating the

I shall have to do a partial
gastrectomy.

Not exactly the sort of operation we
should be performing on a 16 -year -old

girl.

She'll probably be dealing with the
consequences for the rest of her life.

This is not my fault.

I've already had the headmaster cross
-examining me. If a silly girl gets a

notion in her head... And what about you
writing her some sloppy poem? What kind

of message is that sending her? I'm a
poet.

I was just giving her an example of
rhyme and meter.

What's happened?

I had a call saying Julie's been taken
into theatre.

There were some complications, Mrs
Walton.

The aspirin damaged her stomach more
than we initially thought.

Oh, my goodness.

Will she be all right?

Why did she do this, Mr Harmon? The
extra work, applying for university. I

thought it's what she wanted.

Teenagers are sometimes... Please, say,
just tell her the truth.

Carol, I don't think... Julie fell in
love with him.

He wrote her a poem.

Made her think he had feelings for her,
too.

The overdose was a romantic gesture.

An attempt to get his attention.

She did it because of him.

With his what?

I swear to you... Fancy ideas and clever
books. You've turned her head.

Mrs Wilton.

Nurse Selby's told you, has she?

Oh, yeah.

She's told me everything.

Right, I'll show you down to the ward,
shall I?

What exactly is your problem, Carol?

Are you jealous of a 16 -year -old
schoolgirl? No.

Then why have you just ruined the kid's
chance of ever going to university?

Me?

I've met some self -centred blokes in my
time. All this rhyme and meter rubbish.

You just enjoy the adoration, don't you?

A young girl swooning at your feet and
you, the hero poet.

I am not taking the blame for this. You
know what, Paul?

It was fun.

But selfish, arrogant blokes like you I
can do without.

I've gone right off you.

The surgery went well.

We've succeeded in stopping the
bleeding.

You shouldn't have any more problems.

But we will be keeping an eye on you for
a while. And to avoid any

complications, you will need to be
careful about your diet.

I shall take care of all that.

I won't let her out of my sight.

You'll have to manage from here. The two
of us will arouse suspicion.

I can hardly shift it.

I think of that beach in the Bahamas.

That looks a bit heavy.

Sometimes the bed linen can get a bit,
you know, soiled.

Well, in that case, the boarders should
deal with it. I'll go have a word. Oh,

no, no, no. I can manage.

Keeps me fit.

Matron likes us to keep trim.

The presence of an ascending aortic
aneurysm and angina coupled with a

Wasserman test is diagnostic of...

Tertiary syphilis.

The infection must have taken place many
years ago. You may have experienced

some symptoms at the time, but left
untreated, it would have disappeared and

disease itself would have, well, gone
underground.

The result is that it's left you
suffering from an, well, a syphilis

condition.

I see.

Does this mean I could suffer a heart
attack at any time?

I'm afraid it does.

During the war, I served in North
Africa.

Ruddy hard, I can tell you.

Rommel.

Rommel was a brilliant general.

Gave us a pasting.

Army medic.

Treated me for the clap.

Most of us got it.

But when I came home on leave, I thought
I was clear.

Did you tell Margaret that you'd been
infected?

No.

Later... After D -Day, I wrote, asked
her if her health was OK. She said yes.

Didn't see any reason to upset her.

I swear to you, Omrod, I'd give my life
for that woman.

I have never been unfaithful to her
since.

I'm sure you haven't.

Have you talked to him?

Yeah, he came in.

See me?

I called him in when you were being
operated on.

He was annoyed. He didn't want to know.

I really thought he liked me.

Not as much as he likes himself.

Julie, blokes can be very selfish,
particularly blokes like him.

I've been so stupid.

Now everything's gone wrong.

No, it hasn't.

Mum won't let me go to university now.

A secretarial college and a nice, boring
job. It's up to you to take control of

your own life.

You're not a kid. You're nearly 17.

If you want to go to university, then
tell your mum you're going. Don't take

for an answer.

Maybe you're right.

I'm right about Paul Harmon, too.

Forget about him.

You'll meet loads of blokes at
university.

He's not worth it.

You seem to have gone off on a bit
yourself.

Yeah, well, easy come, easy go.

Care to explain what you're doing?

The drains give us no end of problems.

You can't rely on plumbers nowadays.

Matron prefers us to sort it out
ourselves.

Really?

We've been through our share of ups and
downs over the years, haven't we?

It was the war.

I missed you so much. I was stuck out
there in the desert for months on end.

I just... I don't want to know the
details.

Oh, God.

Margaret, I felt you.

Howard, don't cry.

It doesn't do anyone any good.

I'm so sorry. my dear.

We'll do what we've always done.

Get through this together.

I'd rather think problems with the
plumbing are more my department than

Matron. I beg your pardon?

What problems?

Let me show you.

Ah, Doctor.

I was wondering if I could have a word.

Perhaps with Dr. Weatherall, too.

I reckon I'd say the entrance to the
tunnel.

Go on, then.

What's wrong?

I've enjoyed the variety.

Facing all manner of different problems.

What a rock climbing, I hear.

Yeah, that was a bit... a bit foolhardy.
But if you're willing to overlook that,

and there's a position available for GP,
well, I'd really like to be considered.

Well, I... Look, I'm sorry, is it just
me, but... Is there a terrible smell?

This is why the DHA has policies and
procedures.

And they don't include allowing the
porters to dig up the plumbing. I

such thing.

And the supervision of the porters is, I
think you'll find, your responsibility.

I'll, um, just go and find some buckets.

I'll call a plumber, then.

Missy? This is slow, I think. What's
going on? No idea.

Good Lord.

Buckets of hot, soapy water and
disinfectant, please. Immediately.

Are you sure you still want to join us?

Yeah, I do.
