1
00:00:00,953 --> 00:00:04,320
..and we've had a card from
Sister Veronica in Hong Kong!
2
00:00:04,321 --> 00:00:06,940
Post on a sterile surface?
3
00:00:07,099 --> 00:00:08,619
PHYLLIS TUTS
4
00:00:09,677 --> 00:00:11,796
Hm. "Christopher doing nicely.
5
00:00:11,797 --> 00:00:14,300
"New Hibiscus Clinic thriving.
6
00:00:14,477 --> 00:00:16,556
"Sister Hilda in her element."
7
00:00:16,557 --> 00:00:18,537
"Element" underlined.
8
00:00:19,257 --> 00:00:21,086
We may now turn our attention
9
00:00:21,111 --> 00:00:23,552
to the particularly trying day
we have ahead.
10
00:00:23,577 --> 00:00:24,836
Do we really have to
11
00:00:24,837 --> 00:00:27,677
move clinic to the annexe
at St Cuthbert's?
12
00:00:27,917 --> 00:00:29,836
The Board of Health
have given us no notice.
13
00:00:29,837 --> 00:00:33,556
Dr Turner has tried his utmost,
but there's been no reprieve.
14
00:00:33,557 --> 00:00:34,952
I know that annexe.
15
00:00:34,977 --> 00:00:37,272
The screens and equipment
are totally inadequate.
16
00:00:37,297 --> 00:00:40,236
We'll be taking our own
accoutrements, don't you worry.
17
00:00:40,397 --> 00:00:41,976
Meanwhile, we do have
18
00:00:41,977 --> 00:00:45,872
both Nurse Aylward and Nurse
Clifford coming back today.
19
00:00:45,897 --> 00:00:48,055
Will you get a chance
to go to bed this morning
20
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:49,596
and catch up on some sleep?
21
00:00:49,597 --> 00:00:52,316
No. I'm going to meet Miss Higgins
22
00:00:52,317 --> 00:00:55,437
and try and lick these new
arrangements into shape.
23
00:00:55,797 --> 00:00:58,657
You do have to wonder what it all bodes.
24
00:01:03,357 --> 00:01:06,276
I keep thinking about
how we counted every step
25
00:01:06,277 --> 00:01:08,817
all the way to the top of York Minster.
26
00:01:09,197 --> 00:01:11,196
And now I'm counting every step
all the way back
27
00:01:11,197 --> 00:01:13,857
to your front door and Nonnatus House.
28
00:01:13,997 --> 00:01:16,897
Cos there are hardly any left
before it's over!
29
00:01:17,197 --> 00:01:20,537
It was a beautiful view
from the top of York Minster,
30
00:01:20,837 --> 00:01:22,757
and nothing is over.
31
00:01:24,167 --> 00:01:26,236
It felt like another beginning,
didn't it?
32
00:01:26,237 --> 00:01:27,517
Yes, it did.
33
00:01:29,277 --> 00:01:31,276
Let's go and make another cup of coffee
34
00:01:31,277 --> 00:01:33,397
before we go back to the ordinary world.
35
00:01:33,837 --> 00:01:36,137
You think it's rats, Mr Buckle?
36
00:01:36,357 --> 00:01:40,116
Nasty, greedy things gnawing
at things with their incisors!
37
00:01:40,117 --> 00:01:43,196
It's lead pipe. If they gnaw
at that, they'd get poisoned.
38
00:01:43,197 --> 00:01:44,596
I want them poisoned!
39
00:01:44,597 --> 00:01:46,436
I use this flat for prayer meetings.
40
00:01:46,437 --> 00:01:50,116
It's not rats! It's just
the solder's perished.
41
00:01:50,117 --> 00:01:52,317
It's like tissue paper, this, Fred.
42
00:01:53,277 --> 00:01:54,876
- Oh!
- MRS WALLACE: Oh!
43
00:01:54,877 --> 00:01:56,785
PLUMBER LAUGHS
44
00:01:56,810 --> 00:01:58,125
FRED: Here you are.
45
00:01:58,439 --> 00:02:02,496
Look, I reckon you need
to pull all these out,
46
00:02:02,497 --> 00:02:04,916
refit it with proper plastic.
47
00:02:04,917 --> 00:02:06,316
I just put some in our new house.
48
00:02:06,317 --> 00:02:09,456
Did you hear? We're moving
back to Poplar. Moss Street.
49
00:02:09,457 --> 00:02:11,617
Oh, Walthamstow didn't reign long, then?
50
00:02:11,642 --> 00:02:12,832
No!
51
00:02:12,917 --> 00:02:15,356
Never mind your geographical chitchat!
52
00:02:15,357 --> 00:02:18,372
This young man is wheezing
like a creaking gate.
53
00:02:18,397 --> 00:02:20,436
Hey, use your inhaler, son.
It's all right.
54
00:02:20,437 --> 00:02:22,882
He just gets like this every
time we pull up floorboards.
55
00:02:22,907 --> 00:02:24,612
He's... He's all right.
56
00:02:24,637 --> 00:02:26,056
QUIETLY: He's all right.
57
00:02:26,057 --> 00:02:27,377
ROSALIND LAUGHS
58
00:02:28,497 --> 00:02:29,796
Hello, Mrs Wallace.
59
00:02:30,177 --> 00:02:31,196
Fred?
60
00:02:31,657 --> 00:02:32,857
What's all this?
61
00:02:33,457 --> 00:02:35,717
Greetings, Pastor Robinson.
62
00:02:36,037 --> 00:02:37,697
And greetings, Rosalind.
63
00:02:38,097 --> 00:02:40,317
You didn't see the plumber's van outside?
64
00:02:41,637 --> 00:02:44,877
Perhaps your mind was on other matters.
65
00:02:49,717 --> 00:02:51,597
Good afternoon, Miss Higgins.
66
00:02:51,717 --> 00:02:54,012
I've been sent to hold the fort
while you're at clinic.
67
00:02:54,037 --> 00:02:55,897
Master Timothy Turner!
68
00:02:56,097 --> 00:02:59,436
Or... should that be Doctor?
69
00:02:59,757 --> 00:03:01,776
A little bird informed me
70
00:03:01,777 --> 00:03:03,616
that a certain set of examinations
71
00:03:03,617 --> 00:03:07,396
have not only been passed,
but passed with flying colours.
72
00:03:07,397 --> 00:03:11,937
Yes. That pen you gave me
stood me in very good stead.
73
00:03:12,997 --> 00:03:15,396
Of course, I won't be writing
any prescriptions out with it
74
00:03:15,397 --> 00:03:16,676
until I'm formally qualified.
75
00:03:16,677 --> 00:03:18,977
All good things will happen in time.
76
00:03:20,797 --> 00:03:22,757
BABY CRYING
77
00:03:28,547 --> 00:03:31,396
Mrs Hennessy, we discussed
the merits and demerits
78
00:03:31,397 --> 00:03:33,317
of peanut butter jars last week.
79
00:03:34,130 --> 00:03:35,929
Leave your sample with me.
80
00:03:36,077 --> 00:03:39,037
And if you cannot find a seat,
you may queue against the wall.
81
00:03:41,183 --> 00:03:44,222
I'd be extra alert for signs
of protein in that one.
82
00:03:44,357 --> 00:03:47,417
Oh, and diabetes
in the rosehip syrup bottle.
83
00:03:50,037 --> 00:03:54,076
Honestly, Aisha, I'm still
a bit full from our lunch.
84
00:03:54,137 --> 00:03:55,857
Feed mother, feed baby.
85
00:03:57,077 --> 00:03:59,996
Er, maybe I'll just nibble
on one while I'm waiting.
86
00:03:59,997 --> 00:04:01,876
Ruth Khan?
87
00:04:01,877 --> 00:04:03,476
Oh, hello. Ruth, dear.
88
00:04:03,477 --> 00:04:06,597
I'm sorry, we're still finding
our feet in our new location.
89
00:04:06,677 --> 00:04:08,236
Sister Julienne will see you
90
00:04:08,237 --> 00:04:10,897
behind the screens in the far corner.
91
00:04:11,257 --> 00:04:12,576
I come?
92
00:04:12,577 --> 00:04:14,316
I have to go in on my own.
93
00:04:14,317 --> 00:04:15,637
You know the drill.
94
00:04:23,237 --> 00:04:24,836
Is there somewhere I can put this?
95
00:04:24,837 --> 00:04:28,076
Um... A paper towel, perhaps?
96
00:04:28,077 --> 00:04:30,057
I was thinking more like the bin.
97
00:04:33,254 --> 00:04:36,152
I love this sort of food, but my
mother-in-law keeps trying to feed me,
98
00:04:36,177 --> 00:04:40,377
- and I'm not that hungry.
- We do advise small, frequent meals...
99
00:04:41,063 --> 00:04:43,817
..at this stage of the pregnancy.
100
00:04:44,737 --> 00:04:47,196
Nurse Crane said that
in mothercraft class.
101
00:04:47,197 --> 00:04:49,096
I had to translate it
for my mother-in-law,
102
00:04:49,097 --> 00:04:51,117
and I think she only heard "frequent".
103
00:04:52,297 --> 00:04:53,776
I don't think it'll be too long
104
00:04:53,777 --> 00:04:55,657
before baby puts in an appearance.
105
00:04:55,837 --> 00:04:58,336
Have we delivered
the home birth pack to you yet?
106
00:04:58,337 --> 00:05:01,576
No. I'm so glad I'm having it
in my own bed.
107
00:05:01,577 --> 00:05:03,896
Babies are born at home
in my husband's tradition,
108
00:05:03,897 --> 00:05:06,096
and I was born at home
with Nonnatus nuns,
109
00:05:06,097 --> 00:05:08,897
so it's something
that sort of makes us the same.
110
00:05:09,583 --> 00:05:12,396
I'll pop by tomorrow with the pack,
111
00:05:12,397 --> 00:05:14,337
and then we'll be all prepared.
112
00:05:16,990 --> 00:05:19,030
- Cup of tea?
- Thank you.
113
00:05:25,860 --> 00:05:27,856
Kindly desist forthwith!
114
00:05:27,881 --> 00:05:29,032
Those cards contain
115
00:05:29,057 --> 00:05:30,836
confidential medical information.
116
00:05:30,837 --> 00:05:32,997
I work for the National Health Service.
117
00:05:34,097 --> 00:05:35,276
In which case,
118
00:05:35,277 --> 00:05:37,497
I should not need
to point out the proprieties.
119
00:05:38,307 --> 00:05:41,437
I'm starting to think we were
moved here for a reason.
120
00:05:41,657 --> 00:05:43,816
Now we're on National Health premises,
121
00:05:43,817 --> 00:05:45,576
can they just breeze in at will?
122
00:05:45,577 --> 00:05:47,276
PATRICK:
It's the thin end of the wedge!
123
00:05:47,277 --> 00:05:49,856
If they want information
about our district cases,
124
00:05:49,857 --> 00:05:51,936
then they should put in a formal request.
125
00:05:51,937 --> 00:05:54,316
The administrator claims
they can demand access
126
00:05:54,317 --> 00:05:55,736
without notice.
127
00:05:55,737 --> 00:05:58,137
But as we have previously discussed,
128
00:05:58,337 --> 00:06:02,337
we are under no obligation
to do everything they ask.
129
00:06:06,777 --> 00:06:09,036
I'm not sure
she's any nearer to deciding.
130
00:06:09,037 --> 00:06:12,136
Whether to accept the new rules
or close Nonnatus House?
131
00:06:12,277 --> 00:06:16,097
Shelagh, if she delays any
longer, it won't be up to her.
132
00:06:16,577 --> 00:06:19,337
And what happens after that
will happen to us all.
133
00:06:20,257 --> 00:06:23,017
Are you not partaking in pudding, Sister?
134
00:06:24,697 --> 00:06:27,037
STAMMERS: Can it be preserved?
135
00:06:27,217 --> 00:06:30,736
I find my appetite
does not keep the hours
136
00:06:30,737 --> 00:06:32,241
that once it did.
137
00:06:32,897 --> 00:06:35,017
I will put some foil on it.
138
00:06:36,677 --> 00:06:39,036
Standard of cakes has gone right down
139
00:06:39,037 --> 00:06:41,077
while Sister Veronica's been away.
140
00:06:41,437 --> 00:06:44,456
This is the second time this
week I've made a sponge so bad
141
00:06:44,457 --> 00:06:46,357
we've had to pour custard on it.
142
00:06:46,377 --> 00:06:49,376
You pour away. Custard's
one of the things I miss most
143
00:06:49,377 --> 00:06:50,377
when I'm in America.
144
00:06:50,378 --> 00:06:52,356
Is there anything else you yearn for
145
00:06:52,357 --> 00:06:54,196
whilst you are overseas?
146
00:06:54,197 --> 00:06:56,476
I could be flippant and say lemon curd
147
00:06:56,477 --> 00:06:57,936
and electric kettles,
148
00:06:57,937 --> 00:07:01,336
but above all else I miss
the respect for midwifery
149
00:07:01,337 --> 00:07:03,117
we're so used to over here.
150
00:07:04,056 --> 00:07:06,437
May I suggest we turn our attention
151
00:07:06,877 --> 00:07:09,676
to the matter of St Raymond's feast day?
152
00:07:09,677 --> 00:07:12,356
There will be the usual
Eucharist in the chapel
153
00:07:12,357 --> 00:07:13,636
in the morning.
154
00:07:13,637 --> 00:07:14,977
And then I thought,
155
00:07:15,197 --> 00:07:18,276
as the holiday falls
on a bank holiday Monday,
156
00:07:18,277 --> 00:07:20,837
a strawberry tea might be appropriate.
157
00:07:21,317 --> 00:07:22,377
Mm!
158
00:07:23,700 --> 00:07:24,772
Thank you.
159
00:07:24,797 --> 00:07:27,217
Oh! Good evening, Mrs Barrowman.
160
00:07:27,317 --> 00:07:29,676
Now, you look like a woman on a mission.
161
00:07:29,677 --> 00:07:32,336
I'm a woman in search of comestibles.
162
00:07:32,337 --> 00:07:33,356
Ooh!
163
00:07:33,357 --> 00:07:36,272
My Ivan and his family,
they're moving house tomorrow,
164
00:07:36,297 --> 00:07:39,996
so I'm going to christen the
kitchen by making their tea.
165
00:07:40,077 --> 00:07:42,232
Ivan did me a favour
and a half this morning.
166
00:07:42,257 --> 00:07:45,196
Sorted a burst pipe inside an hour.
167
00:07:45,197 --> 00:07:46,276
Oh, good.
168
00:07:46,277 --> 00:07:48,956
Um... have you got any luncheon meat?
169
00:07:48,957 --> 00:07:52,516
Er... bottom left, dear,
next to the soap powder.
170
00:07:52,517 --> 00:07:53,677
Oh.
171
00:07:55,397 --> 00:07:57,396
I'm going to take three tins.
172
00:07:57,397 --> 00:07:59,996
Oh, I hope you're planning fritters.
173
00:08:00,021 --> 00:08:03,652
There's nothing like the smell of
frying to make a house a home.
174
00:08:03,677 --> 00:08:05,354
Yeah, well, all I can smell at the moment
175
00:08:05,379 --> 00:08:07,434
is wet paint and plaster dust.
176
00:08:07,474 --> 00:08:09,956
Still, it's on a better bus route...
177
00:08:09,957 --> 00:08:12,936
..now Suzanne's got
into the grammar school.
178
00:08:12,937 --> 00:08:15,096
Gran, they've got rulers and protractors!
179
00:08:15,097 --> 00:08:16,396
VIOLET: Grammar school?
180
00:08:16,397 --> 00:08:18,156
Well, let's hope this is the beginning
181
00:08:18,157 --> 00:08:21,012
of great things for you.
Pick yourself out a rubber.
182
00:08:21,037 --> 00:08:22,516
I'll let you have it half price.
183
00:08:22,517 --> 00:08:23,917
MRS BARROWMAN: Oh!
184
00:08:30,656 --> 00:08:33,092
Last orders for Ovaltine.
185
00:08:33,117 --> 00:08:34,517
DOOR CLOSES
186
00:08:39,557 --> 00:08:40,996
I can't drink anything.
187
00:08:40,997 --> 00:08:44,512
My face is lathered in complexion food.
188
00:08:44,537 --> 00:08:47,232
Why didn't you come down
and join us in the parlour?
189
00:08:47,257 --> 00:08:50,036
SHE SIGHS
I can't seem to settle, Phyllis.
190
00:08:50,037 --> 00:08:52,872
I knew all this constant toing and froing
191
00:08:52,897 --> 00:08:55,156
would have you all frayed
around the edges.
192
00:08:55,157 --> 00:08:57,397
I wish I was the only thing
that was frayed.
193
00:08:59,990 --> 00:09:02,492
My marriage isn't exactly thriving
194
00:09:02,517 --> 00:09:04,757
under the current conditions.
195
00:09:05,357 --> 00:09:07,672
Are you spending too much time apart?
196
00:09:07,697 --> 00:09:09,977
We're certainly not
doing enough together.
197
00:09:11,317 --> 00:09:15,697
SIGHING: He has his business
interests, and I have... this.
198
00:09:16,917 --> 00:09:19,632
You say that as though
"this" weren't enough.
199
00:09:19,657 --> 00:09:22,997
It won't be enough for anybody
if it all comes to an end.
200
00:09:24,157 --> 00:09:26,476
If you know more than
you're cracking on, Trixie,
201
00:09:26,477 --> 00:09:29,897
then that's your business,
and I'm not going to press you.
202
00:09:30,557 --> 00:09:32,436
But there's been a Sword of Damocles
203
00:09:32,437 --> 00:09:34,152
hanging over Nonnatus House
204
00:09:34,177 --> 00:09:36,737
for almost as long as I've been here.
205
00:09:36,997 --> 00:09:39,777
And we've always lived
to fight another day...
206
00:09:40,037 --> 00:09:41,837
..and deliver another baby.
207
00:09:45,450 --> 00:09:47,798
Things have been changing
all the time, haven't they?
208
00:09:48,037 --> 00:09:49,317
Yes.
209
00:09:49,997 --> 00:09:52,017
And we're still here.
210
00:09:53,017 --> 00:09:54,337
SHE CHUCKLES
211
00:09:54,362 --> 00:09:56,896
Though I can't answer for your epidermis
212
00:09:56,897 --> 00:09:59,637
if you leave that face pack
on much longer!
213
00:10:05,713 --> 00:10:07,157
Midwife calling.
214
00:10:09,537 --> 00:10:10,917
You're welcome.
215
00:10:17,277 --> 00:10:19,636
You've certainly got everything -
216
00:10:19,637 --> 00:10:21,876
and everyone organised, Ruth!
217
00:10:21,877 --> 00:10:24,636
Dilwar's well on his way
up the ladder at the factory,
218
00:10:24,637 --> 00:10:26,716
but he had to start out
as a garment presser.
219
00:10:26,717 --> 00:10:29,716
A good manager must have
experience of every department.
220
00:10:29,957 --> 00:10:32,877
This not management. This woman's work!
221
00:10:34,857 --> 00:10:37,316
It is all right, isn't it? The flat?
222
00:10:37,505 --> 00:10:39,717
The flat is spotlessly clean.
223
00:10:39,797 --> 00:10:42,637
And this is clearly a home full of love.
224
00:10:43,137 --> 00:10:44,917
I inspect for that, too.
225
00:10:45,157 --> 00:10:47,196
It's much more important.
226
00:10:47,197 --> 00:10:49,637
You wouldn't have found that
in the house I grew up in.
227
00:10:50,957 --> 00:10:54,097
My mum ran off and left us
when I was eight.
228
00:10:55,137 --> 00:10:57,512
And my dad hardly knew
what to do with us.
229
00:10:57,537 --> 00:10:58,717
DOOR OPENS
230
00:11:01,303 --> 00:11:02,343
Please.
231
00:11:05,663 --> 00:11:09,757
We... wanted to ask you
something, Sister.
232
00:11:11,343 --> 00:11:13,757
Can Dilwar stay with me
when the baby's born?
233
00:11:15,217 --> 00:11:16,477
But of course.
234
00:11:18,557 --> 00:11:21,577
I want it because I do not
want Ruth to be afraid.
235
00:11:22,037 --> 00:11:24,117
And I won't be if Dilwar's with me.
236
00:11:26,857 --> 00:11:28,117
WOMAN: Madge!
237
00:11:28,277 --> 00:11:30,327
- I found the tomato sauce.
- Where was it?
238
00:11:30,352 --> 00:11:31,476
It was in the tea chest
239
00:11:31,477 --> 00:11:33,157
- with the bedding!
- Here, give me that!
240

LAUGHTER
241
00:11:34,737 --> 00:11:36,596
Susie, you'll have to go on the camp bed
242
00:11:36,597 --> 00:11:38,657
until that new mattress is delivered.
243
00:11:38,937 --> 00:11:40,316
You not having fritters?
244
00:11:40,317 --> 00:11:42,740
Oh, she didn't like luncheon meat,
245
00:11:42,765 --> 00:11:44,112
- apparently.
- Mm.
246
00:11:44,137 --> 00:11:45,796
It means she don't like your cooking.
247
00:11:45,797 --> 00:11:47,516
- LAUGHTER
- Hey!
248
00:11:47,517 --> 00:11:48,836
Shh!
249
00:11:48,837 --> 00:11:50,516
LAUGHTER
250
00:11:50,517 --> 00:11:52,277
Give her some more sauce.
251
00:11:55,230 --> 00:11:57,337
Thank you for wanting to be with me.
252
00:11:59,077 --> 00:12:01,116
I don't want to be outside the door,
253
00:12:01,141 --> 00:12:03,796
waiting for my mother to come out
and tell me how you're doing.
254
00:12:03,797 --> 00:12:05,436
At least that's not going to happen now.
255
00:12:05,437 --> 00:12:08,517
The mother is always
in the room with the mother.
256
00:12:09,017 --> 00:12:12,357
I do everything I can to
respect your customs, Dilwar.
257
00:12:13,633 --> 00:12:16,437
But if we don't do some things our way,
258
00:12:16,677 --> 00:12:18,657
we aren't going to know who we are.
259
00:12:19,277 --> 00:12:22,197
Please... don't let her in the room.

Oh, Suzanne, love!
264
00:12:34,477 --> 00:12:37,517
I need you to go to the phone
box and ring the doctor.
265
00:12:38,137 --> 00:12:39,533
It's dark.
266
00:12:39,558 --> 00:12:41,016
The phone hasn't been connected,
267
00:12:41,017 --> 00:12:43,116
and nobody else is well enough to go.
268
00:12:43,117 --> 00:12:45,996
Paul's still in the outside lav,
and his asthma's bad.
269
00:12:45,997 --> 00:12:48,156
The operator will help you
find the number.
270
00:12:48,157 --> 00:12:49,917
Put your coat and shoes on.
271
00:12:52,097 --> 00:12:53,397
Ivan?
272
00:12:53,517 --> 00:12:54,896
IVAN GROANS
273
00:12:54,897 --> 00:12:56,277
Can you let me in?
274
00:12:56,357 --> 00:12:58,257
IVAN: Five... Five minutes.

HE INHALES
276
00:13:06,077 --> 00:13:09,777
Just keep puffing on it as
often as you feel you need to.
277
00:13:10,117 --> 00:13:13,296
The stress of the vomiting
has aggravated your asthma.
278
00:13:13,297 --> 00:13:15,256
Oh, I'm hoping that's wearing off.
279
00:13:15,257 --> 00:13:18,116
You know, I haven't worn the
old porcelain turban like that
280
00:13:18,117 --> 00:13:20,476
- in years.
- Look, I know it's tough,
281
00:13:20,477 --> 00:13:22,592
but if it is something you've all eaten,
282
00:13:22,617 --> 00:13:24,616
then the best thing is to let your body
283
00:13:24,617 --> 00:13:26,136
clear itself of the poison.
284
00:13:26,137 --> 00:13:28,396
I knew me mum's cooking
would get us in the end!
285
00:13:28,397 --> 00:13:29,576
HE COUGHS
286
00:13:29,577 --> 00:13:31,156
You're shivering, Ivan.
287
00:13:31,157 --> 00:13:33,617
I can see your goose bumps from here!
288
00:13:33,642 --> 00:13:37,441
You can take paracetamol for fever.
289
00:13:37,495 --> 00:13:38,612
Lovely.
290
00:13:38,637 --> 00:13:41,837
Then go to bed and
keep yourselves warm.
291
00:13:42,277 --> 00:13:43,537
Tea's up!
292
00:13:43,757 --> 00:13:46,336
And Suzanne's busy
putting water beside your beds.
293
00:13:46,337 --> 00:13:49,157
Hey, you're a bit overqualified
to be a waiter, ain't you?
294
00:13:49,483 --> 00:13:51,287
Chip off the old block, eh?
295
00:13:51,557 --> 00:13:54,836
Nothing like a lad following
in his father's footsteps.
296
00:13:54,837 --> 00:13:56,756
Paul's working with Ivan now.
297
00:13:56,757 --> 00:13:58,976
They did half the renovations
to this house.
298
00:13:58,977 --> 00:14:00,397
All mod cons.
299
00:14:00,557 --> 00:14:02,396
Central heating, if you please!
300
00:14:02,397 --> 00:14:04,177
Put it on if need be.
301
00:14:04,657 --> 00:14:08,297
This is going to seem like a
bad dream by tomorrow teatime.

00:14:24,857 --> 00:14:27,176
I need him to go to the telephone box
309

and ring Nonnatus House, Aisha.
310
00:14:30,377 --> 00:14:32,717
I telephone. You sit. You rest.
311
00:14:36,197 --> 00:14:37,916
Are you heading out already?
312
00:14:37,917 --> 00:14:39,916
Angela and I are practising her bus route
313
00:14:39,917 --> 00:14:41,316
for the grammar school.
314
00:14:41,317 --> 00:14:42,956
She's a bit worried about the change
315
00:14:42,957 --> 00:14:44,556
at the top of the Commercial Road.
316
00:14:44,557 --> 00:14:46,676
It'll soon become second nature.
317
00:14:46,877 --> 00:14:49,576
Aren't you wearing your blazer
to get you in the mood?
318
00:14:49,577 --> 00:14:52,897
It's a rehearsal, not a dress rehearsal!
319
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,516
They should put you two
on the television.
320
00:14:59,517 --> 00:15:01,076
It's like watching a dance routine.
321
00:15:01,077 --> 00:15:03,077
London Palladium, here we come!
322
00:15:03,697 --> 00:15:05,677

Hello. Um...
324
00:15:14,250 --> 00:15:16,417
Are you the lady who's about
to become a grandma?
325
00:15:16,442 --> 00:15:17,549
Yes.
326
00:15:18,010 --> 00:15:19,757

00:15:46,427 --> 00:15:48,056
Is it because of Paul's asthma

that you're making a return visit?
335
00:15:49,877 --> 00:15:51,757
He was the one that worried me.
336
00:15:52,797 --> 00:15:55,036
But everyone in the house is affected,
337
00:15:55,037 --> 00:15:56,557
apart from Suzanne,
338
00:15:56,737 --> 00:15:58,317
which makes them vulnerable.

But I've used up nearly all my inhaler

and my head's splitting.
347
00:16:43,137 --> 00:16:45,377
You're dehydrated, which won't help.
348
00:16:45,637 --> 00:16:47,276
Are your parents upstairs?

00:17:01,197 --> 00:17:03,165
you've hardly had a chance
to catch your breath.
356
00:17:03,190 --> 00:17:05,037
Listen to the nurses, Ruth.
357
00:17:05,257 --> 00:17:08,396
You know what I should be doing?
SHE GROANS
358
00:17:08,397 --> 00:17:11,007
Well, you obviously do.
359
00:17:11,077 --> 00:17:13,616
That's it, Ruth. Keep pushing.
360
00:17:13,617 --> 00:17:15,116
Just like that.
361
00:17:15,117 --> 00:17:16,897
Your wife's a quick learner.

SHE GASPS

Mrs Barrowman?
365
00:17:27,497 --> 00:17:29,957
Dr Turner is going to come up
and see you in a minute.
366
00:18:11,623 --> 00:18:12,817
Dad!
367
00:18:13,637 --> 00:18:14,796
DAD!

00:18:23,943 --> 00:18:26,383
That's it, darling. You did it!

You've given me a son!
373
00:19:10,477 --> 00:19:11,637
No pulse,
374
00:19:12,077 --> 00:19:14,277
no pupil reflexes.
375
00:19:17,583 --> 00:19:19,377
You poor little love.
376
00:19:25,217 --> 00:19:28,097
I think Mr Barrowman has gone, too.
377
00:19:31,614 --> 00:19:34,556
First, we need an ambulance for Paul.
378
00:19:34,557 --> 00:19:36,677
He's in respiratory distress.
379
00:19:36,990 --> 00:19:39,057
And then we need to call the police.
380
00:19:42,757 --> 00:19:44,597
I've... I've gone a bit faint.
381
00:19:51,783 --> 00:19:53,177
Deep breaths!
382
00:19:55,223 --> 00:19:56,957
Then we need to get you outside.
383
00:19:58,137 --> 00:19:59,897
I think I know what this is.
384
00:20:01,839 --> 00:20:03,756
Why can't I go back inside?
385
00:20:03,757 --> 00:20:05,236
You have to sit on the pavement
386
00:20:05,237 --> 00:20:06,816
and wait for the ambulance to arrive.
387
00:20:06,817 --> 00:20:08,116
I'll wait with you.
388
00:20:08,117 --> 00:20:09,436
Where's my mum and my dad?
389
00:20:09,437 --> 00:20:11,832

without them knowing.

of everything that's happening inside.
393
00:20:17,889 --> 00:20:21,329
That's not an ambulance.
It's a police car.
394
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,697
- Oh..
- Is this bad?
395
00:20:28,837 --> 00:20:30,476
Not necessarily,
396
00:20:30,477 --> 00:20:32,836
but the placenta should
have come away by now.
397
00:20:32,837 --> 00:20:34,716
We don't want you
to go to hospital, honey.
398
00:20:34,717 --> 00:20:36,157
I don't either.
399
00:20:36,397 --> 00:20:38,356
I think you might have a full bladder.
400
00:20:38,357 --> 00:20:40,337
And sometimes that gets in the way.
401
00:20:40,517 --> 00:20:42,757
If you can pass water, that may help.
402
00:20:42,967 --> 00:20:44,336
I'll get you a bedpan.
403

Why are you speaking in English?
410
00:21:08,537 --> 00:21:10,357
You think like an Englishman,
411
00:21:10,577 --> 00:21:12,857
You understand like an Englishman.
412
00:21:13,037 --> 00:21:15,516
Ruth has just given birth.
413
00:21:15,517 --> 00:21:17,277
It was not easy.
414
00:21:18,157 --> 00:21:19,696
It's not easy now.
415
00:21:19,697 --> 00:21:21,197
Not easy...
416
00:21:21,677 --> 00:21:24,037
..because she need mother.
417
00:21:25,363 --> 00:21:27,857
A mother has known her pain.
418
00:21:29,037 --> 00:21:30,917
Mother gives ease.
419
00:21:31,117 --> 00:21:32,777
Mother gives peace.
420
00:21:33,237 --> 00:21:35,297
Husband can't give that.
421
00:21:35,777 --> 00:21:37,397
She wanted me there.

We have a young man, asthmatic,

00:21:55,097 --> 00:21:57,136
dehydrated from food poisoning

I tell you,

00:22:11,997 --> 00:22:13,836
there is nothing like a cream horn

Honey, what are you fretting about?
439
00:22:23,517 --> 00:22:25,996
Mrs Wallace phoned Cyril last night
440
00:22:25,997 --> 00:22:28,076
and she wants to speak to him
about his conduct,
441
00:22:28,077 --> 00:22:29,812
and also his conscience?
442
00:22:29,837 --> 00:22:31,177
Are you surprised?
443
00:22:32,597 --> 00:22:34,116
He's a pastor...
444
00:22:34,117 --> 00:22:37,377
..who walks into his flat,
which is also his church,
445
00:22:37,577 --> 00:22:39,576
with a woman who's not his wife,
446
00:22:39,577 --> 00:22:41,597
carrying bags from a weekend away,
447
00:22:41,817 --> 00:22:44,036
and bumps into the principal elder!
448
00:22:44,037 --> 00:22:45,996
I had hoped you'd tell me not to worry.
449
00:22:45,997 --> 00:22:48,037
That's not what friends are for.
450
00:22:48,062 --> 00:22:49,797

You're a good man, Pastor Robinson,

and you're doing a good job
navigating this church
475
00:24:23,817 --> 00:24:25,996

..the best way of protecting ourselves

495
00:25:17,477 --> 00:25:20,177

500
00:25:33,897 --> 00:25:35,977
Was it the food my nan cooked?
501
00:25:36,117 --> 00:25:40,417
Paul... Everything is going to
have to be reviewed by the coroner.
502
00:25:40,697 --> 00:25:42,836
Ultimately,
they will pronounce a verdict.
503
00:25:42,837 --> 00:25:46,017
I don't need a verdict!
I just need to know!
504
00:25:46,537 --> 00:25:49,677
Because if I don't know,
I can't believe they're dead.
505

Paul, from what the lab tests tell us...
506
00:25:57,177 --> 00:26:00,997
..the food your nan cooked
probably made you all ill.
507
00:26:01,377 --> 00:26:03,833

514
00:26:20,137 --> 00:26:22,157
..carbon monoxide poisoning.
515
00:26:23,477 --> 00:26:26,076

exactly the same thing.

carbon monoxide?

Only in very small amounts.
520

When there's too much,
it becomes very dangerous.

00:27:39,196 --> 00:27:40,372
Hello?
538
00:27:40,397 --> 00:27:42,156
Oh, Mrs Turner...
539
00:27:42,157 --> 00:27:45,516
I rang the surgery,
but Dr Turner wasn't there.
540
00:27:45,517 --> 00:27:49,177
We've just had the public
health inspectors at the shop.
541
00:27:49,657 --> 00:27:51,697
Public health inspectors?
542
00:27:51,977 --> 00:27:55,676
We're under investigation
for selling contaminated meat.
543
00:27:55,677 --> 00:27:59,097
And they've taken I don't know
how many tins off the shelf.
544
00:27:59,122 --> 00:28:02,256
I only picked 'em up from the
cash-and-carry two days ago.
545
00:28:02,257 --> 00:28:03,476
SHE SOBS
546
00:28:03,477 --> 00:28:05,897
I knew Madge Barrowman.
547
00:28:06,157 --> 00:28:09,156
She was on the Play Streets Subcommittee.
548
00:28:09,217 --> 00:28:11,417
And... and now they've gone,
549
00:28:11,697 --> 00:28:15,577
possibly because of something
that we sold!
550
00:28:18,397 --> 00:28:21,197
I think we all have to remain calm.
551
00:28:21,823 --> 00:28:26,217
Nobody really knows who
or what is to blame for this.
552
00:28:30,167 --> 00:28:32,237
How did you get on with Mrs Wallace?
553
00:28:32,577 --> 00:28:34,517
We're going to have to go for a walk.
554
00:28:35,037 --> 00:28:37,236
The gas inspector's nearly finished.
555
00:28:37,237 --> 00:28:38,916
Well, once the boiler's stripped out,
556
00:28:38,917 --> 00:28:40,116
I'd have no objection
557
00:28:40,117 --> 00:28:41,796
- to Paul moving back in.
- All right, sir.
558
00:28:41,797 --> 00:28:44,476
I don't know where you get
your flaming nerve!
559
00:28:44,597 --> 00:28:47,472
You should be locked up for
what you said to my grandson!
560
00:28:47,497 --> 00:28:49,016
Telling him he'd killed his family
561
00:28:49,017 --> 00:28:50,756
by fitting a dodgy boiler!
562
00:28:50,757 --> 00:28:53,937
Mrs Barrowman, only the coroner
can say what happened.
563
00:28:54,597 --> 00:28:58,872
I hope he finds you guilty
of criminal negligence
564
00:28:58,897 --> 00:29:00,537
and strikes you off.
565
00:29:01,037 --> 00:29:03,897
If you sent them all to hospital,
566
00:29:04,043 --> 00:29:06,343
they'd still be alive.
567
00:29:13,517 --> 00:29:15,917
We can't turn the clock back, Cyril.
568
00:29:15,997 --> 00:29:17,817
Not in terms of morals.
569
00:29:17,957 --> 00:29:22,096
And not in terms of what having
sex has done to me and my body,
570
00:29:22,097 --> 00:29:23,836
and for us and our relationship!
571
00:29:23,837 --> 00:29:26,352
- Rosalind!
- Stopping sleeping together
572
00:29:26,377 --> 00:29:28,376
isn't going to turn me
into a virgin again.
573
00:29:28,377 --> 00:29:29,876
And I wouldn't want it to!
574
00:29:29,877 --> 00:29:31,637
I wouldn't want it to either.
575
00:29:31,857 --> 00:29:33,917
Because I feel just the same as you.
576
00:29:35,676 --> 00:29:39,076
But I am not yet divorced,
and I am still a pastor,
577
00:29:39,077 --> 00:29:41,117
and I don't like
putting you in harm's way.
578
00:29:41,197 --> 00:29:44,596
I'm not in harm's way. I'm on the pill.
579
00:29:44,597 --> 00:29:47,537
There is more than one type
of harm, Rosalind.
580
00:29:47,997 --> 00:29:50,437
Maybe we should wait now...
581
00:29:51,493 --> 00:29:53,996
..until I'm in a position
to put a ring on your finger
582
00:29:53,997 --> 00:29:55,877
and do things decently.
583
00:29:56,597 --> 00:29:59,657
I have two things to say
in response to that.
584
00:29:59,797 --> 00:30:02,797
A, I'm sure Mrs Wallace
would be delighted.
585
00:30:02,997 --> 00:30:05,536
B, if that's a proposal of marriage,
586
00:30:05,537 --> 00:30:08,517
it's very poorly thought
through and you can keep it!
587
00:30:16,997 --> 00:30:18,197
Oh...
588
00:30:19,757 --> 00:30:21,357
Oh...
589
00:30:22,156 --> 00:30:23,597
Ooh.
590
00:30:24,737 --> 00:30:27,097
Thank goodness you went in so early!
591
00:30:27,797 --> 00:30:29,236
Under no circumstances
592
00:30:29,237 --> 00:30:31,116
must any patients be allowed to see it.
593
00:30:31,117 --> 00:30:33,517
I'll root out some turps.
594
00:30:36,317 --> 00:30:37,797
SHE SIGHS
595
00:30:40,730 --> 00:30:42,377
Phyllis!
596
00:30:42,917 --> 00:30:44,876
Whatever is this?
597
00:30:44,877 --> 00:30:46,136
SHE SIGHS
598
00:30:46,137 --> 00:30:48,196
No-one is to contact the police.
599
00:30:48,197 --> 00:30:52,076
Patrick, this is a clear
case of criminal damage,
600
00:30:52,077 --> 00:30:54,016
and probably slander.
601
00:30:54,017 --> 00:30:56,377
That family have suffered...
602
00:30:56,717 --> 00:30:59,217
..and ARE suffering enough.
603
00:30:59,777 --> 00:31:03,556
There's no proof at all
that that... vandalism
604
00:31:03,557 --> 00:31:05,636
is anything to do with them.
605
00:31:05,637 --> 00:31:08,252
I, meanwhile,
have had to give short shrift
606
00:31:08,277 --> 00:31:10,317
to a reporter from the Gazette.
607
00:31:11,157 --> 00:31:14,616
He asked questions
about potential malpractice.
608
00:31:14,617 --> 00:31:17,777
In front of patients? What did you say?
609
00:31:17,802 --> 00:31:20,676
Well, I merely reminded him
that it is against the law
610
00:31:20,677 --> 00:31:23,596
to print, publish or speculate
on any details
611
00:31:23,597 --> 00:31:26,796
of a medical case
whilst an inquest is pending.
612
00:31:26,797 --> 00:31:29,572
Miss Higgins, that isn't true!
613
00:31:29,597 --> 00:31:32,117
The man was very junior
and knew no better.
614
00:31:33,034 --> 00:31:35,236
No further rebuff was required.
615
00:31:35,237 --> 00:31:38,516
I don't think anyone
knows anything right now.
616
00:31:38,517 --> 00:31:40,296
Until we hear from the coroner,
617
00:31:40,297 --> 00:31:42,837
I'm not seeing any more patients.

You know Cyril called again
this morning, don't you?
635
00:32:45,317 --> 00:32:47,217
Before you came down to breakfast?
636
00:32:47,417 --> 00:32:49,517
Perhaps he had a sleepless night, too.
637
00:32:52,157 --> 00:32:54,757
I don't know what we're
supposed to say to each other.
638
00:33:00,629 --> 00:33:03,228
The matter of my ablutions
639
00:33:03,376 --> 00:33:06,316
generally falls to Sister Catherine.
640
00:33:06,317 --> 00:33:09,556
Sister Catherine is standing in
for Sister Veronica
641
00:33:09,557 --> 00:33:12,097
at the head lice conference this morning,
642
00:33:12,577 --> 00:33:16,797
and set off looking as though
nothing could make her happier.
643
00:33:19,843 --> 00:33:23,257
Do you recollect
what it was like to be...
644
00:33:23,597 --> 00:33:25,657
..at the beginning of all this?
645
00:33:26,117 --> 00:33:29,356
Yes, I do. If only barely sometimes.
646
00:33:29,837 --> 00:33:34,557
I've watched so much water
flow underneath the bridge.
647
00:33:37,096 --> 00:33:39,237
The question is, Sister,
648
00:33:40,057 --> 00:33:43,876
do we watch the water
or are we the water?
649
00:33:43,877 --> 00:33:46,397
Because if it is the latter...
650
00:33:47,057 --> 00:33:49,316
..you speak not of change,
651
00:33:49,317 --> 00:33:53,497
but of we ourselves being changed...
652
00:33:53,737 --> 00:33:55,397
..or changing.
653
00:33:56,517 --> 00:33:57,537
Ah...
654
00:33:57,777 --> 00:34:01,157
It is a riddle... is it not?
655
00:34:03,197 --> 00:34:04,817
It is indeed.
656
00:34:11,984 --> 00:34:13,397
Sister,
657
00:34:13,697 --> 00:34:16,597
how long have your feet
been as swollen as this?
658
00:34:17,737 --> 00:34:19,917
It is a recent development.
659
00:34:21,997 --> 00:34:23,997
Let us not speak of it.
660
00:34:31,277 --> 00:34:32,637
TIMOTHY: Dad...
661
00:34:33,757 --> 00:34:36,277
..what good is shutting
yourself away going to do?
662
00:34:36,497 --> 00:34:39,356
It'll do less harm
than trying to treat patients
663
00:34:39,357 --> 00:34:40,897
when I'm not trusted.
664
00:34:41,177 --> 00:34:44,956
And I can use the time
to study the latest statistics
665
00:34:44,957 --> 00:34:47,117
on the rise in epidurals.
666
00:34:47,337 --> 00:34:49,776
Trust is essential, isn't it?
667
00:34:49,777 --> 00:34:51,777
It's like clean hands.
668
00:34:52,437 --> 00:34:55,157
Or a steady hand with a lancet.
669
00:34:55,477 --> 00:34:57,596
Like antibiotics.
670
00:34:57,737 --> 00:34:59,717
Black coffee on the night shift.
671
00:35:01,197 --> 00:35:03,177
Can't be a GP without it, son.
672
00:35:05,654 --> 00:35:08,316
You're going back to factory
and baby not named?
673
00:35:08,317 --> 00:35:10,616
We can't decide on a name yet, Aisha.
674
00:35:10,617 --> 00:35:13,237
When we decide, we'll do it then.
675
00:35:16,137 --> 00:35:18,337
She white face. She's sick?
676
00:35:20,213 --> 00:35:21,557
Are you sick?
677
00:35:22,077 --> 00:35:23,817
Sick of being cooped up.
678
00:35:26,357 --> 00:35:28,037
I just need some fresh air.
679
00:35:34,116 --> 00:35:35,887
Miss Higgins? Um...
680
00:35:36,287 --> 00:35:39,436
..can I ask Dr Turner
to make a house call
681
00:35:39,437 --> 00:35:40,997
on Sister Monica Joan?
682
00:35:42,957 --> 00:35:46,177
She seems to have developed
some new symptoms.
683
00:35:48,077 --> 00:35:51,416
I'm afraid that until the
Barrowman family situation resolves,
684
00:35:51,417 --> 00:35:54,257
he doesn't feel able to see any patients.
685
00:35:55,903 --> 00:35:57,377
I understand.
686
00:35:58,657 --> 00:36:02,717
In the scheme of things,
I suspect this is not urgent.
687
00:36:13,917 --> 00:36:15,537
You stay home.
688
00:36:16,437 --> 00:36:18,312
The baby needs fresh air, Aisha,
689
00:36:18,337 --> 00:36:20,317
and I need to get into a routine.
690
00:36:24,936 --> 00:36:26,497
Please don't go out.
691
00:36:29,374 --> 00:36:31,197
I'm only popping out for an hour.
692
00:36:35,757 --> 00:36:36,956
BABY CRIES
693
00:36:36,957 --> 00:36:39,876
Shh. Sh-sh-sh-sh, sh-sh-sh-sh.
694
00:36:39,877 --> 00:36:42,217
Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh.
695
00:36:42,357 --> 00:36:43,757
BABY QUIETENS
696
00:36:44,530 --> 00:36:46,450
BABY CRIES
697
00:36:47,767 --> 00:36:50,236
Sh-sh. Sh-sh-sh-sh.
698
00:36:50,237 --> 00:36:52,377
BABY CONTINUES CRYING
699
00:36:58,955 --> 00:37:02,017
I changed the sheets.
I cleaned everything.
700
00:37:02,042 --> 00:37:05,437
But he will not let me do
anything with that pillowcase.
701
00:37:07,037 --> 00:37:08,297
Paul, lad...
702
00:37:09,010 --> 00:37:10,209
..do you really think
703
00:37:10,234 --> 00:37:12,156
this is the best place
for you to be lying
704
00:37:12,157 --> 00:37:14,776
while you come to terms with
everything that's happened?
705
00:37:14,777 --> 00:37:16,796
How can I come to terms with it?!
706
00:37:16,797 --> 00:37:19,257
I helped my dad put that boiler in!
707
00:37:19,316 --> 00:37:21,917
It's my fault! And I'm the one
that's still here!
708
00:37:21,918 --> 00:37:23,756
It's not your fault.
709
00:37:23,757 --> 00:37:25,596
There are plenty of others
you could blame.
710
00:37:25,597 --> 00:37:27,077
What about you?!
711
00:37:27,241 --> 00:37:29,537
- Eh? And your cooking!
- Come on!
712
00:37:30,337 --> 00:37:32,316
You're both going through something
713
00:37:32,317 --> 00:37:34,576
that no-one should ever have to endure,
714
00:37:34,577 --> 00:37:36,797
alone or separately.
715
00:37:37,617 --> 00:37:40,037
You'll face it better together.
716
00:37:45,284 --> 00:37:47,717
I can smell my dad's hair
on this pillowcase.
717
00:37:48,177 --> 00:37:49,357
Oh...
718
00:37:51,796 --> 00:37:53,017
Oh!
719
00:37:53,257 --> 00:37:54,817
SOBBING
720
00:37:57,816 --> 00:37:58,856
Ruth?
721
00:38:01,163 --> 00:38:02,477
Ruth?
722
00:38:02,837 --> 00:38:04,397
PRAM RATTLES QUIETLY
723
00:38:07,277 --> 00:38:09,037
SHE GASPS
724
00:38:09,197 --> 00:38:10,977
SHE GROANS
725
00:38:15,317 --> 00:38:17,077
SHE BREATHES RAGGEDLY
726
00:38:18,197 --> 00:38:19,997
SHE GASPS
727
00:38:26,903 --> 00:38:28,637
I think I need the doctor.
728
00:38:28,877 --> 00:38:30,617
I can walk there.
729
00:38:30,827 --> 00:38:32,116
I go for doctor.
730
00:38:32,117 --> 00:38:33,597
SHE GROANS
731
00:38:36,150 --> 00:38:38,697
You walk. I walk with you.
732
00:38:38,757 --> 00:38:40,017
BABY CRIES
733
00:38:41,397 --> 00:38:42,837
RUTH GROANS
734
00:38:47,917 --> 00:38:52,137
Every single person touched
by this case is in torment.
735
00:38:52,377 --> 00:38:54,236
Can we not do something
736
00:38:54,237 --> 00:38:57,297
to at least get a preview of the details?
737
00:38:57,797 --> 00:39:01,212
Dr Turner's on the police surgeon roster.
738
00:39:01,237 --> 00:39:04,597
He feels he can't ask for early
access to the documents
739
00:39:04,636 --> 00:39:07,897
because he's perceived
to have a vested interest.
740
00:39:08,297 --> 00:39:11,897
The baby's mother lying
in street! By fire stairs!
741
00:39:12,177 --> 00:39:15,557
- I think she die!
- Oh, no. No!
742
00:39:16,257 --> 00:39:18,077
Dr Turner!
743
00:39:24,780 --> 00:39:27,676
It's Ruth Khan.
She delivered a few days ago.
744
00:39:27,677 --> 00:39:29,392
She just opened her eyes.
745
00:39:29,417 --> 00:39:31,417
Said something about seeing lights.
746
00:39:32,317 --> 00:39:36,096
Her ankles are swollen. Looks
like postnatal pre-eclampsia.
747
00:39:36,097 --> 00:39:38,517
- Ambulance?
- She's on the brink of fitting.
748
00:39:41,137 --> 00:39:42,996
We need Bromethol now.
749
00:39:42,997 --> 00:39:44,416
Can you fetch some?
750
00:39:44,417 --> 00:39:47,357
It's too late for 999.
I'll drive her there myself.
751
00:39:47,382 --> 00:39:48,557
Now, run!
752
00:39:51,797 --> 00:39:53,337
It's all right, Ruth.
753
00:39:53,937 --> 00:39:55,777
I'm not going to leave you.
754
00:39:57,157 --> 00:39:58,917
CYRIL: You need a hand with those?
755
00:40:00,637 --> 00:40:04,312
Yes. And we wouldn't mind
a bit of fridge space
756
00:40:04,337 --> 00:40:06,937
if you've got any to spare in your flat.
757
00:40:08,077 --> 00:40:10,097
I'm sorry I lost my temper.
758
00:40:11,257 --> 00:40:13,236
It was certainly a spectacle.
759
00:40:13,237 --> 00:40:15,977
If you hadn't have been shouting at
me, I would've quite enjoyed it.
760
00:40:17,357 --> 00:40:18,657
And you're right.
761
00:40:18,837 --> 00:40:21,237
It was a terrible marriage proposal.
762
00:40:22,777 --> 00:40:24,717
Was it a marriage proposal?
763
00:40:26,103 --> 00:40:27,143
Yes.
764
00:40:29,624 --> 00:40:32,784
Will you give me the chance
to do a better one?
765
00:40:34,177 --> 00:40:35,997
This is better already.
766
00:40:36,877 --> 00:40:40,617
But... why don't you take me
away for the weekend?
767
00:40:41,117 --> 00:40:42,557
Discreetly.
768
00:40:43,097 --> 00:40:45,557
And... ask me then.
769
00:40:45,897 --> 00:40:48,157
You know your own mind, don't you?
770
00:40:48,417 --> 00:40:51,857
I'm a grown woman, and a feminist, and...
771
00:40:52,037 --> 00:40:55,317
..there are cathedral towns
the length and breadth of England.
772
00:41:01,997 --> 00:41:04,517
Mr Parry is still with Ruth.
773
00:41:04,857 --> 00:41:06,916
He says you stopped her from tipping over
774
00:41:06,917 --> 00:41:08,797
into full-blown eclampsia.
775
00:41:09,937 --> 00:41:11,716
She hasn't had any seizures?
776
00:41:11,717 --> 00:41:12,957
None.
777
00:41:13,657 --> 00:41:16,057
That would have been
a very different story.
778
00:41:18,414 --> 00:41:21,136
We don't always get to write
the endings we choose
779
00:41:21,137 --> 00:41:22,577
in this profession,
780
00:41:22,777 --> 00:41:24,657
but sometimes we do.
781
00:41:25,657 --> 00:41:27,937
And sometimes there isn't an ending.
782
00:41:28,457 --> 00:41:30,397
And those stories are the best.
783
00:41:33,389 --> 00:41:35,837
I'm sorry for pushing you away, Aisha.
784
00:41:36,077 --> 00:41:38,437
A mother cannot be pushed away.
785
00:41:38,677 --> 00:41:39,797
Ever.
786
00:41:39,997 --> 00:41:42,977
A mother always at your shoulder.
787
00:41:43,537 --> 00:41:45,437
And it is good.
788
00:41:46,797 --> 00:41:48,537
I never knew that before.
789
00:41:50,537 --> 00:41:52,877
I didn't know what to do
with that kind of love.
790
00:41:56,117 --> 00:41:57,337
But I do now.
791
00:42:03,734 --> 00:42:05,197
Thank you...
792
00:42:05,957 --> 00:42:07,397
..for showing me.
793
00:42:11,023 --> 00:42:14,616
PHYLLIS: It's all written down
there in good, plain English.
794
00:42:14,617 --> 00:42:17,436
PATRICK: It's as thorough
as it comes, Mrs Barrowman.
795
00:42:17,437 --> 00:42:19,916
And it states very clearly
796
00:42:19,917 --> 00:42:22,277
that it was the boiler that was faulty.
797
00:42:23,083 --> 00:42:24,836
Not the way it was fitted?
798
00:42:24,837 --> 00:42:27,397
It had a defective valve.
799
00:42:28,577 --> 00:42:30,996
What happened was nothing to do with
800
00:42:30,997 --> 00:42:32,716
anyone who was there that night,
801
00:42:32,717 --> 00:42:34,997
or anyone here today.
802
00:42:37,597 --> 00:42:41,457
Meanwhile, all the tins
of meat have been recalled
803
00:42:41,637 --> 00:42:44,497
and the cash-and-carry
will be prosecuted.
804
00:42:45,717 --> 00:42:48,617
I'm sorry if I acted out of turn.
805
00:42:49,897 --> 00:42:51,317
That's all right.
806
00:42:51,997 --> 00:42:56,216
But I think if you did want
to sue the boiler manufacturer,
807
00:42:56,217 --> 00:42:57,997
there would be a case to answer.
808
00:42:58,417 --> 00:42:59,537
No.
809
00:42:59,757 --> 00:43:02,557
We've got a family to say goodbye to...
810
00:43:03,106 --> 00:43:06,557
..and a life to build. Haven't we, lad?
811
00:43:13,077 --> 00:43:15,556
It's Mrs Russell, isn't it?
812
00:43:15,557 --> 00:43:16,916
What can I do for you?
813
00:43:16,917 --> 00:43:20,517
Oh, it's not for me, Sister.
It's for one of my neighbours.
814
00:43:20,997 --> 00:43:23,777
Well, a sort of neighbour.
815
00:43:24,017 --> 00:43:26,517
I reckon there's a baby on the way.
816
00:43:28,137 --> 00:43:29,756
ARGUING NEARBY
817
00:43:29,757 --> 00:43:32,876
I can remember you sisters
coming out at all hours
818
00:43:32,877 --> 00:43:34,576
and in all weathers.
819
00:43:34,577 --> 00:43:36,917
WOMAN SHOUTS
820
00:43:37,797 --> 00:43:39,497
We still do.
821
00:43:39,790 --> 00:43:41,316
SHE YELLS
822
00:43:41,317 --> 00:43:42,876
Midwife calling.
823
00:43:42,877 --> 00:43:44,276
I don't need a midwife.
824
00:43:44,277 --> 00:43:47,716
My dear, I'm afraid it seems
very likely that you do.
825
00:43:47,717 --> 00:43:50,116
I don't need a ruddy midwife!
826
00:43:50,117 --> 00:43:51,617
WOMAN GROANS
827
00:43:56,917 --> 00:43:59,596
WOMAN GASPS AND GROANS
828
00:43:59,597 --> 00:44:02,636
What we'll do is
take a gentle look at you,
829
00:44:02,637 --> 00:44:04,636
and then we'll decide what to do.
830
00:44:04,637 --> 00:44:07,436
I don't know why you're saying
"we" this or "we" that,
831
00:44:07,437 --> 00:44:08,956
like we're friends or somethin'.
832
00:44:08,957 --> 00:44:10,276
Cos we ain't friends!
833
00:44:10,277 --> 00:44:12,896
Don't you talk to the sister like that!
834
00:44:12,897 --> 00:44:14,617
And we ain't friends, neither!
835
00:44:14,917 --> 00:44:16,037
SHE SPITS
836
00:44:16,517 --> 00:44:18,317
Um, Mrs Russell...
837
00:44:18,657 --> 00:44:23,016
..I don't see any means
of heating water in here.
838
00:44:23,017 --> 00:44:28,137
Would you return to your flat
and boil a kettle for me?
839
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,916
It's such a shame Sister
Veronica missed the Eucharist.
840
00:44:33,917 --> 00:44:35,596
- Mm.
- But her plane from Hong Kong
841
00:44:35,597 --> 00:44:37,116
must have still been in the air.
842
00:44:37,117 --> 00:44:41,196
And it's also a shame that your
brother can't join us, Trixie.
843
00:44:41,197 --> 00:44:44,552
He's become quite a fixture
on high days and holidays.
844
00:44:44,577 --> 00:44:47,016
Oh, I know, but he's gone
to Lido di Jesolo
845
00:44:47,017 --> 00:44:49,136
with a friend
from his National Service days.
846
00:44:49,137 --> 00:44:52,237
At least I get to arrange
some flowers in his absence.
847
00:44:52,397 --> 00:44:54,117
SHE CHUCKLES
848
00:44:56,237 --> 00:44:57,836
This is assault, this is.
849
00:44:57,837 --> 00:45:00,536
Lana, the sense of pressure
that you're feeling
850
00:45:00,537 --> 00:45:03,817
is because your baby's head is
descending through your pelvis.
851
00:45:04,053 --> 00:45:05,556
It's almost ready to be born.
852
00:45:05,557 --> 00:45:07,236
Send for a bloody ambulance!
853
00:45:07,237 --> 00:45:09,397
Lana, it's too late.
854
00:45:16,143 --> 00:45:17,457
How's things?
855
00:45:19,237 --> 00:45:21,396
I'm sorting through my dad's tools.
856
00:45:21,723 --> 00:45:24,197
Seems a first step towards
what he would have wanted.
857
00:45:26,057 --> 00:45:28,477
Following in his footsteps and all that.
858
00:45:31,663 --> 00:45:33,077
Me, too.
859
00:45:34,477 --> 00:45:37,637
Delivering insulin
to a self-injecting diabetic.
860
00:45:40,237 --> 00:45:42,097
This is a lead dressing tool.
861
00:45:43,197 --> 00:45:45,997
He had it so many years,
it's been worn to his grip.
862
00:45:48,397 --> 00:45:51,637
It's old-fashioned,
but... I'm going to keep it.
863
00:45:52,917 --> 00:45:54,765
That sort of thing matters, doesn't it?
864
00:46:04,637 --> 00:46:07,097
Could you organise a urine sample?
865
00:46:07,437 --> 00:46:09,377
Next time she feels like getting up?
866
00:46:10,917 --> 00:46:13,537
She has been needing
a lot of rest lately.
867
00:46:13,817 --> 00:46:16,477
I do not require repose.
868
00:46:16,777 --> 00:46:20,717
It is almost invariably forced upon me.
869
00:46:22,740 --> 00:46:24,236
If you feel like it,
870
00:46:24,237 --> 00:46:27,137
I can bring you a strawberry
scone to nibble on later.
871
00:46:27,357 --> 00:46:28,957
Hm...
872
00:46:33,917 --> 00:46:35,476
BABY GURGLES
873
00:46:35,477 --> 00:46:37,317
She's a pretty little thing.
874
00:46:40,477 --> 00:46:45,289
I'm paying particular attention
to her eyes
875
00:46:45,314 --> 00:46:48,356
as I bathe her,
in case there's any infection.
876
00:46:48,357 --> 00:46:49,716
Are you saying I'm dirty?
877
00:46:49,717 --> 00:46:53,137
We take the same approach
with every newborn.
878
00:46:54,657 --> 00:46:56,117
I want to hold her.
879
00:46:58,093 --> 00:47:01,276
When you've, um, finished
your cigarette, perhaps.
880
00:47:01,277 --> 00:47:02,437
I want...
881
00:47:02,777 --> 00:47:04,857
..to hold her.
882
00:47:09,437 --> 00:47:11,277
SHE EXHALES SHARPLY
883
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:18,636
Get your hands off my baby!
884
00:47:18,637 --> 00:47:20,336
I didn't ask you to come here!
885
00:47:20,337 --> 00:47:24,077
- Oh!
- Get your hands off me!
886
00:47:24,317 --> 00:47:27,237
Who asked you to come here
in the first place?
887
00:47:27,557 --> 00:47:29,197
BABY CRIES
888
00:47:39,837 --> 00:47:41,637
SHE MURMURS SILENTLY
889
00:47:48,303 --> 00:47:50,477
The mother was angry
890
00:47:50,697 --> 00:47:52,577
and she was distressed.
891
00:47:52,610 --> 00:47:54,430
She wasn't unusual in that.
892
00:47:56,737 --> 00:47:58,537
And she needed...
893
00:47:58,997 --> 00:48:01,276
..every ounce of love I could show her.
894
00:48:01,417 --> 00:48:04,577
She spat at you and she assaulted you.
895
00:48:05,837 --> 00:48:08,557
And the only thing that stopped me...
896
00:48:09,390 --> 00:48:13,798
..turning my back on her and running
out of that squalid room
897
00:48:14,137 --> 00:48:17,857
was the fact that I was there
as an act of...
898
00:48:19,337 --> 00:48:21,117
..Christian witness.
899
00:48:22,976 --> 00:48:24,857
Did that give you courage?
900
00:48:25,957 --> 00:48:27,897
It gave me purpose.
901
00:48:28,137 --> 00:48:29,596
And it gave me strength.
902
00:48:29,597 --> 00:48:33,157
And it reminded me
that we are missionaries...
903
00:48:33,357 --> 00:48:34,957
..here in the East End.
904
00:48:35,970 --> 00:48:39,657
And I'd rather go and be
a missionary elsewhere
905
00:48:39,997 --> 00:48:44,117
than be forced to pretend
to be something we are not.
906
00:48:49,637 --> 00:48:50,997
Sister...
907
00:48:52,590 --> 00:48:54,110
Have you made your decision?
908
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:56,976
Sister Julienne?
909
00:48:56,977 --> 00:48:59,236
Sister Veronica has arrived
back from Hong Kong.
910
00:48:59,237 --> 00:49:00,796
She's waiting in your office
911
00:49:00,797 --> 00:49:03,157
and insists she'll see no-one but you.
912
00:49:04,697 --> 00:49:08,077
I came back to Poplar
via the Mother House.
913
00:49:08,837 --> 00:49:11,236
I needed to confer with Mother Mildred
914
00:49:11,237 --> 00:49:16,757
because I have been feeling
increasingly... unhappy.
915
00:49:18,197 --> 00:49:20,617
I wasn't... unaware of it.
916
00:49:21,817 --> 00:49:24,237
But our work is not about...
917
00:49:24,717 --> 00:49:26,197
..our happiness.
918
00:49:27,037 --> 00:49:30,077
It is about seeking no reward,
919
00:49:30,417 --> 00:49:34,356
other than knowing that we do His will.
920
00:49:34,637 --> 00:49:37,816
If you are quoting St Ignatius of Loyola,
921
00:49:37,817 --> 00:49:41,096
then you are omitting
the bit about giving
922
00:49:41,097 --> 00:49:42,957
and not counting the cost.
923
00:49:42,997 --> 00:49:46,097
And I... can't keep on giving
924
00:49:46,237 --> 00:49:48,756
and not counting the cost any longer.
925
00:49:48,757 --> 00:49:50,217
But you must.
926
00:49:51,177 --> 00:49:52,957
We must, Sister.
927
00:49:52,982 --> 00:49:54,817
It is what we do.
928
00:49:55,057 --> 00:49:56,857
It is what I have done,
929
00:49:57,257 --> 00:49:59,677
and done for too long. I have...
930
00:50:00,823 --> 00:50:02,017
..loved...
931
00:50:02,577 --> 00:50:04,757
..and served.
932
00:50:05,237 --> 00:50:09,117
And I have saved other
women's children for decades.
933
00:50:10,137 --> 00:50:11,837
If any one were mine
934
00:50:12,177 --> 00:50:15,037
or... felt like mine...
935
00:50:15,917 --> 00:50:18,537
..for a day or even an hour...
936
00:50:20,797 --> 00:50:22,797
..I had to hand it back...
937
00:50:23,790 --> 00:50:27,596
..and stand there trying not to scream
938
00:50:27,597 --> 00:50:30,797
because my arms were empty!
939
00:50:32,517 --> 00:50:34,516
Why didn't you tell me this before?
940
00:50:34,517 --> 00:50:37,196
Because I hoped I could bear it,
941
00:50:37,197 --> 00:50:38,997
and I can't!
942
00:51:02,010 --> 00:51:04,857
I've been given permission to go away...
943
00:51:05,574 --> 00:51:07,377
for six weeks...
944
00:51:07,837 --> 00:51:10,977
..while I decide...
945
00:51:11,457 --> 00:51:14,757
..if I want to give up my vows
and leave the order.
946
00:51:17,477 --> 00:51:18,773
CHATTER
947
00:51:18,798 --> 00:51:21,477
- Pull, then.
- All right, I'm pulling, I'm pulling!
948
00:51:22,357 --> 00:51:23,697
Push!
949
00:51:24,117 --> 00:51:25,937
- Come on.
- Down that way!
950
00:51:43,229 --> 00:51:44,349
KNOCK AT DOOR
951
00:51:46,216 --> 00:51:47,677
Come in.
952
00:51:48,077 --> 00:51:49,797
DOOR OPENS
953
00:51:52,357 --> 00:51:53,837
DOOR CLOSES
954
00:51:59,870 --> 00:52:02,357
I couldn't let you go
without coming to see you.
955
00:52:03,557 --> 00:52:07,057
I've stood exactly
where you're standing now.
956
00:52:08,757 --> 00:52:11,937
Well, I hope you were standing
in better shoes than these.
957
00:52:12,557 --> 00:52:15,073
There are no lace-ups
in the charity cupboard,
958
00:52:15,098 --> 00:52:17,277
and I can only walk in lace-ups.
959
00:52:17,737 --> 00:52:20,277
There is a knack to court shoes.
960
00:52:24,634 --> 00:52:27,357
Please, don't put your arms around me.
961
00:52:28,997 --> 00:52:32,237
I'm scared... I might break apart.
962
00:52:34,890 --> 00:52:36,057
Beryl...
963
00:52:36,457 --> 00:52:38,257
..do you have somewhere to go?
964
00:52:40,197 --> 00:52:43,676
I've been offered a room
in a Christian retreat house
965
00:52:43,677 --> 00:52:45,357
near Gravesend.
966
00:52:45,617 --> 00:52:47,676
There are no other religious there,
967
00:52:47,677 --> 00:52:51,077
and I'm assured
no questions will be asked.
968
00:52:53,437 --> 00:52:55,436
Let me find you a pair of tights.
969
00:52:55,437 --> 00:52:58,517
You'll feel more pulled
together in a proper outfit.
970
00:53:10,860 --> 00:53:13,817
You were right about
Sister Monica Joan's oedema.
971
00:53:14,977 --> 00:53:17,417
It points to kidney failure.
972
00:53:17,717 --> 00:53:19,897
But tests will tell us more.
973
00:53:23,182 --> 00:53:25,877
This was always going to come,
wasn't it...
974
00:53:27,410 --> 00:53:29,089
..in one form or other?
975
00:53:29,403 --> 00:53:30,877
And when it does...
976
00:53:31,877 --> 00:53:33,736
..it's going to feel like
977
00:53:33,737 --> 00:53:36,437
the ravens leaving the Tower of London.
978
00:53:38,357 --> 00:53:40,617
The end of the known world.
979
00:53:42,723 --> 00:53:45,243
One could say that about so many things.
980
00:53:49,417 --> 00:53:51,137
I'm telling the board...
981
00:53:51,549 --> 00:53:54,792
that if the order...
are not permitted to work
982
00:53:54,817 --> 00:53:56,617
in a missionary capacity...
983
00:53:57,437 --> 00:53:59,197
..we are leaving Poplar...
984
00:54:00,177 --> 00:54:01,677
..at the end of the year.
985
00:54:03,017 --> 00:54:04,777
And that is final.
986
00:54:18,850 --> 00:54:21,037
Do you know what you want, Sister?
987
00:54:21,477 --> 00:54:24,297
Apart from a baby to call my own?
988
00:54:25,497 --> 00:54:26,577
No.
989
00:54:26,797 --> 00:54:30,477
Sometimes I don't think
anyone knows anything, really.
990
00:54:37,874 --> 00:54:41,017
I'll walk with you
as far as the post office.
991
00:54:42,177 --> 00:54:45,677
This must go with
the first post in the morning.
992
00:55:00,627 --> 00:55:03,476
MATURE JENNIFER: Some things bring joy
993
00:55:03,477 --> 00:55:05,596
year after year,
994
00:55:05,597 --> 00:55:08,016
summer after summer.
995
00:55:08,017 --> 00:55:12,197
They have delighted us before,
and they will again.
996
00:55:12,437 --> 00:55:15,117
We trust the tides
997
00:55:15,142 --> 00:55:17,876
and the rhythm of the seasons.
998
00:55:17,877 --> 00:55:22,537
The tilt of the sunflower's
face towards the sky.
999
00:55:23,997 --> 00:55:26,736
When the wind blows a little colder,
1000
00:55:26,737 --> 00:55:28,597
do we even notice it?
1001
00:55:30,217 --> 00:55:34,237
Or if we do, do we think
it will not be for long?
1002
00:55:34,477 --> 00:55:38,857
Because one day
it may blow cold for ever,
1003
00:55:38,957 --> 00:55:40,757
but not yet...
1004
00:55:41,877 --> 00:55:43,476
..not now...
1005
00:55:43,477 --> 00:55:46,056
..while miracles are ordinary
1006
00:55:46,057 --> 00:55:48,517
and still within our reach.
1007
00:55:51,580 --> 00:55:53,616
- She's about to have the baby.
- We think.
1008
00:55:53,617 --> 00:55:56,076
I just keep getting...
Ooh, here it comes again.
1009
00:55:56,077 --> 00:55:58,296
Hello, Harmony. I'm a nurse.
1010
00:55:58,297 --> 00:55:59,576
I'm sorry you've been hurt.
1011
00:55:59,577 --> 00:56:03,136
There is no reason
to treat me as an invalid!
1012
00:56:03,137 --> 00:56:04,756
Best ice cream in Poplar, guaranteed.
1013
00:56:04,757 --> 00:56:07,016
And if I win, you'll get that bike.
1014
00:56:07,017 --> 00:56:09,517
One would hope they were
above such pettiness
1015
00:56:09,717 --> 00:56:11,620
when there is so much at stake.
1016
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,760
