00:00Children incline to happiness.
00:30That is their gift.
00:32They burst through the open door.
00:34They run towards the smiling face.
00:37They embrace what is offered.
00:39They celebrate the small things.
00:41For they will not be small things themselves for long.
00:46We have more power when we are older.
00:49We make choices.
00:50We make progress.
00:52We like to believe we make something of ourselves.
00:55But we were made and we were marked when we were so much younger.
01:04When if we were lucky, we were free to incline to all the happiness we wanted.
01:12Phyllis, you're back.
01:13Millicent.
01:14When did you arrive?
01:16I came home in the small hours without a hitch.
01:18Then on the way to clinic, I get a puncture.
01:20You look remarkably sanguine, all things considered.
01:24The Devonshire air was clearly something of a tonic.
01:27It was better than you had during the dustman's strike, by all accounts.
01:30We have scoured and we have scrubbed, but the odour still haunts us.
01:35I'm just glad little nurse Clifford pulled through.
01:38I should be keeping an eye on her.
01:39Oh, I almost forgot.
01:42Just a little something.
01:44Oh, clotted cream fudge.
01:47What a treat.
01:48Do you require enough to the clinic?
01:50That would be appreciated.
01:52I'd rather not be late on my first day back.
01:58Morning, ladies.
01:59Nurse Edward, I can see you're under sleep.
02:04I have been given a date for a disciplinary hearing.
02:06Has Mrs. Midgley's complaint been upheld?
02:10It seems it has.
02:11The legal language is so brutal.
02:14I mean, misconduct and disobedience.
02:16I don't recognise myself in those words.
02:18Nor do I, Nurse Highland.
02:20You are one of our most competent, diligent and hardworking midwives.
02:24And you will be cleared of these charges.
02:27We simply have to trust in the process.
02:30How can I trust in a process that might be as prejudiced as the person who made the complaint?
02:35We have Dr. Turner's records and Sister Catherine's statement, which relates to your previous visit, which she witnessed.
02:43And I, myself, will attend as your character witness.
02:47I don't feel I can ask you to do that.
02:50This is the second time you've had to help me try to resolve a crisis.
02:54You have not asked me.
02:56I have stepped forward because that is my privilege.
02:59And if you are referring to the matter of your divorce from an abusive husband, that is my privilege, too.
03:05You will be moving on from that.
03:08And you will move on from this, too.
03:12I have to believe in myself, don't I?
03:15Yes, you do.
03:18How was that?
03:19Bye-bye.
03:20Afternoon, Fred.
03:22You don't happen to sell shoelaces, do you?
03:24Ah.
03:26Strawberry or licorice?
03:27Didn't know you were partial.
03:28I meant real shoelaces.
03:30Mine snapped.
03:32I went fine.
03:33Put them...
03:34Oh, here.
03:36Last player.
03:37Three and nine pints.
03:37I need to smarten myself up.
03:39I've been invited to a film premiere.
03:41The fucking Bronco one.
03:43Bronco bullfrog.
03:44To be attended by Her Royal Highness, Princess Anne.
03:48Got you, too.
03:49That's all I've heard about from Violet for the past week.
03:52You would have thought God was coming out to Tower Amelie.
03:55It's not mere royalty.
03:56They filmed it here.
03:57I think it's nice they're going to be showing it here.
03:59Most of the actors are local kids, and I help the crew find the extras.
04:03Here.
04:05Violet's having the fur replaced on her robes, and I've been threatened with a new suit.
04:10There's no getting out of this one.
04:12How many tickets they send you?
04:14Two.
04:19Afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Berridge.
04:29Nip in the ear today.
04:31Oh, aren't those lovely new shoes?
04:34May I have your urine sample, please, Mrs. Berridge?
04:38Oh, I can take that for you.
04:41Careful!
04:42So sorry.
04:44It just slipped out of my hand.
04:45Well, it wasn't my fault.
04:47How accidents happen.
04:49Shall we go through, Mrs. Berridge?
04:51It's fine.
04:52We'll go to the park.
04:53How does that sound?
04:53We'll go to the park?
04:54Come on.
04:55I'll see you when you're done, love.
05:03It's lovely to see you again.
05:07May I help?
05:09Are you looking for something in particular?
05:12It's not for me.
05:13It's for my mum.
05:15She needs...
05:17It's something the council hygiene department usually delivers.
05:21Might you be looking for these?
05:25Yeah, that's it.
05:30Your mum sometimes phones an order in, Mr. Briscoe,
05:34and this is the brand that she generally favours.
05:39I'll take them, then.
05:45Would you like to pop your jumper off?
05:47It's quite warm in here.
05:49I'm cold.
05:50It's because I'm tired.
05:51I was up all night with Kerry and this one kicking.
05:55How much did your first baby weigh, Mrs. Berridge?
06:01Can you remember?
06:03Six pounds.
06:05And your husband?
06:06He was in an orphanage from a baby.
06:09I don't think he knows.
06:11He never knew his real mum and dad.
06:13Blood pressure is a little low and baby seems small for dates.
06:20How are you feeling in terms of your general health, Mrs. Berridge?
06:28I'm fine.
06:29I just need to catch up on my sleep.
06:32Sometimes it's hard to take as much care of yourself as you should when you're having a second baby.
06:38Maybe we just need to keep a closer eye on you.
06:40And we're not letting you off the premises unless you have another go at giving us that urine sample.
06:45Oh, thank you, sister.
06:56I should have done that.
06:57It was the work of moments.
06:59And really rather satisfying.
07:01Sister Julian, might it be possible, until my hearing is over, not to work directly with the patients?
07:09Yes, and may I take some on my holiday leave to give me time to prepare my case?
07:14You are a good nurse, and you are needed, Joyce.
07:20I will give you whatever time off you require.
07:23But please, don't hide yourself away.
07:26It is others who should be ashamed, not you.
07:35Mrs. Berridge, have you got something for me?
07:37I tried, but there was nothing doing.
07:39I'll bring one next week.
07:47May I have a quick word, Sister Catherine?
07:50Mrs. Berridge and her husband both used to take heroin.
07:55Heroin?
07:55We didn't know what it was in Poplar five years ago.
07:58But the problem has grown and grown, and I wish I could say its use was unknown in pregnant women.
08:03But I can't.
08:04Is that why she was being so cagey about replacing the sample?
08:10And why the baby feels small?
08:13I would say baby is borderline.
08:16But I must confess, I feel uneasy.
08:19I think we should make a house call tomorrow.
08:23So do I.
08:24I simply don't know what one has to do or whom one has to speak to to get tickets to this film gala.
08:36We haven't had royalty in Poplar since Princess Margaret came to open the old community centre.
08:41I had a call from the surgery regarding Ellen Briscoe, Mrs.
08:45Now, Sir Crane, if you don't find Ellen Briscoe, Mrs. filed correctly under B, I shall run around the allotment in my corsolette and stockings.
08:53I'm not so much interested in B for Briscoe as B for blanks.
08:58I need a new card for her.
09:00She left the practice, so I took her out of my Rolodex.
09:03And now she's back, so she needs to go back in.
09:05I remember Ellen Briscoe.
09:08She told Dr. Turner he had an unsatisfactory bedside manner.
09:12That's outrageous.
09:13He could go on Opportunity Knox with his bedside manner.
09:16Well, it seems the other doctor didn't score very highly on the clapometer either, because she's re-registered with us.
09:24And someone has taken the blank cards out of my Rolodex, Sister Veronica.
09:45Take a seat.
09:46Good morning, Sister.
09:49Good morning, Dr. Turner.
09:51It looks as though most of our methadone patients have come back again.
09:54Oh, that's good.
09:57Well, it shows it's working.
09:59This treatment is so new, it could still go either way.
10:02But I think we can all feel encouraged.
10:07Oh, nurse.
10:09I'm so glad you came.
10:10Mum's in agony.
10:11She told me she was falling apart at the seams this morning.
10:14Mr. Briscoe.
10:15I didn't recognise you.
10:18You're looking very smart.
10:20I'm working at Woodhulls.
10:21The gentleman's outfitters.
10:23Oh, that's a well-established firm.
10:25It's a nice opening for a youngster.
10:27It's a bit of a dead-end job, really.
10:29But it's not too far, so I can pop back to see Mum when I need to.
10:32Mark?
10:35Marky, is that you?
10:38Come in.
10:40How are you feeling, Lawrence?
10:42Are the cravings any more manageable with the methadone?
10:46They haven't gone completely, but I can cope with them now.
10:50Little by little, eh?
10:51Less of the little.
10:53It's been a few months now.
10:57You said we were pioneers when you got me on this programme.
11:00It was as experimental for me as it was for you.
11:03But it's given rise to a lot of interest.
11:06And hope.
11:08Which is probably more important.
11:10I mean, I've managed to hold down regular work on the building sites.
11:14Me and Jackie have got ourselves a wee council flat and another baby on the way.
11:17Good for you.
11:18This is not what I thought I'd be a year ago.
11:22And I'm grateful.
11:24Well, I am grateful to you for sticking with it.
11:28Here's your methadone for the week.
11:48Mrs. Barrage!
11:52Midwife calling!
11:53Be right there.
11:54Just a second.
11:58Hello.
12:00Was I supposed to be expecting you?
12:02I'm afraid things have gone downhill for me since we last met Nurse.
12:09I'm in almost constant pain.
12:11That should be more comfortable.
12:14You've a very capable young man here, Mrs. Briscoe.
12:21Why don't you tell me about yourself?
12:26Mum likes me to keep notes.
12:28I'll step out when you do the procedure.
12:29Sorry, can you do my other arm?
12:38This one's aching from carrying Kerry around all day and she still doesn't like being put down.
12:46Mrs. Barrage.
12:49Has this been going on for a long time?
12:52No.
12:53If it's only once, it's not anything.
12:54I'm all right.
12:57I'm all right, I promise.
12:59Jackie, you're not all right.
13:01And if you don't tell us the truth and let us help you, baby is not going to be all right either.
13:06I don't want to hurt my baby.
13:08I don't want that.
13:12Is it heroin again, Jackie?
13:17Yes.
13:18The medication you're on for the underactive thyroid should have relieved your symptoms.
13:32And I see that your last doctor wanted you to stop your enemas.
13:37That's the reason I left.
13:39Well, I can't go unless I have a washout.
13:42I get that blocked.
13:43It was cramps and childbirth.
13:45And I have a commode because my legs mean I can't walk to the privy.
13:51Oh, I'll get back to work.
13:55Good night, Mum.
13:56OK?
13:59Thank you, nurse.
14:04His mind's elsewhere.
14:06I suspect a lady friend.
14:08That's nice.
14:09He's a good lad.
14:10Well, she'll have to be a good girl if he's planning on getting spliced.
14:16It won't be easy living cheek by gel.
14:18Young folk these days tend to want their own homes.
14:22Mark will live with me.
14:24I live with my mother.
14:26Shall we get you on your left side, Mrs. Briscoe?
14:32And the towel under you?
14:37Unfortunately, Jackie, your baby will have been exposed to the drugs you've taken.
14:44You're saying my baby's an addict?
14:46It will need very special care once it's born.
14:50Because it will have become accustomed to having heroin in its bloodstream.
14:54So it is an addict?
14:56None of this is ideal.
14:58But we can help by weaning you off the drugs starting now.
15:02I would like to give you controlled injections of a different opiate.
15:06To help ease your withdrawal.
15:09It will ease things for the baby too.
15:10No.
15:11I don't want no more drugs.
15:14I got myself clean before without interference.
15:18I'll do it the same way this time.
15:19Oh, the offer is open.
15:22Please consider it.
15:24For your baby's sake.
15:33This has been so lovely.
15:36Am I allowed to say I look forward to it all day?
15:38Yes.
15:40As long as I'm allowed to as well.
15:45We need to have a proper night out soon.
15:53As long as you're completely recovered.
15:55I can't believe how much better I feel.
15:58The grapes have helped, obviously.
16:00Bronco Bullfrog.
16:08The Royal Film Gala.
16:09It looks tremendous.
16:11An East End film about East End kids.
16:13Wait, I tell Trixie.
16:14She's still trying to get tickets.
16:16I believe she even asked Mrs. Buckle and got a flat no.
16:19Coming off heroin is going to be a nightmare, combined with pregnancy.
16:30Whether she agrees to the opiate therapy or not, I'll have to talk to the linchmere and see what they suggest.
16:35I'm concerned for little Kerry.
16:38Can father be relied upon or should we look into foster care?
16:40Mr. Berridge hasn't been taking drugs.
16:43His urine test came back negative from my clinic.
16:45Does he know that his wife is taking heroin again?
16:48She's adamant that he doesn't.
16:51Seems she's managed to hide it from everyone.
16:54I'm sorry.
16:57I'm so sorry.
17:00Why did you take it, Jackie?
17:05Why?
17:07You're pregnant, love.
17:08I know.
17:10And I hate myself for it.
17:16But you're never around.
17:19And I was lonely.
17:20I'm working.
17:22I'm trying to give us a decent go at things.
17:24I can quite see that you don't want to put your job at risk.
17:28But do you have someone who can babysit for Kerry?
17:30No, I haven't.
17:31And she hasn't.
17:32I haven't seen my family in three years.
17:35Mum hates Lawrence.
17:38She made me choose him or her.
17:40My dad was a bit more tolerant, but Mum wouldn't have it.
17:49They've never even met Kerry.
17:51That must be very difficult.
17:58Sister Veronica can help as your health visitor.
18:02She might be able to find a nursery place for Kerry.
18:05No.
18:06I'll take time off work.
18:09And we'll scrabble through.
18:10We are all the family that we need.
18:17All right, you three.
18:19We have something very special for pudding tonight.
18:23Raspberry full ice cream?
18:25Yay!
18:26Because we are celebrating.
18:28Celebrating what?
18:29The fact that the final adoption papers for a certain Miss May Turner are now in place
18:35and we are going to the magistrate's court to sign them.
18:39Yay!
18:39Ah, right on cue.
18:43That will be your big brother calling from Edinburgh to say congratulations.
18:48Hello?
18:49Timothy!
18:49Timothy!
18:50Yes, Timothy.
18:51Oh, yes, we've told them.
18:55I can't wait to see you.
18:57Good morning.
19:03Violet Buckle speaking.
19:05I'm always happy to speak to the Gazette.
19:09Yes.
19:12I think the Royal Premier is a wonderful opportunity to promote Tower Hamlets.
19:22What do you mean it's about juvenile delinquents?
19:25Best time you go waltzing off to New York.
19:32I am going to strip this right down to its frame.
19:35Forever playing silly beggars.
19:37Can't you ride a different one?
19:38It's my favourite, Fred.
19:40It's been my favourite for years.
19:43Lady Halewood.
19:45Lady Halewood.
19:46Violet, what's the matter?
19:48Could you possibly, and I can hardly bear to encroach upon your time,
19:53grace us with your company at the premiere of this film?
19:56But I thought you said the tickets were at a premium.
19:58That was before I knew it was likely to bring Poplar into disrepute.
20:03We need all the respectability we can pack into that cinema.
20:06I'll go giving Princess Anne the wrong impression.
20:09I'd be delighted to oblige,
20:11but there's other respectable people at Narnata's house.
20:14And there will be other tickets.
20:16You leave it with me.
20:18Nurse Crane said you asked to see me.
20:31Please, sit down.
20:34I have spoken with our superior, Mother Mildred,
20:38and we have agreed that we would like to invite you
20:42to take your first vows
20:44and become a novice in the Order.
20:46Do you feel I'm ready?
20:52As St. Paul told Timothy,
20:54seek not to be ready,
20:56but be always in a state of readiness.
21:00You don't have to give your answer now.
21:05I would like to give it, if that is acceptable.
21:13Yes.
21:13I want to enter the Vowed Life.
21:18Yes, I want to join the Order.
21:22Yes, I want to be your sister.
21:25Because I want to give all that I am to him.
21:29Ten out of ten.
21:37You can get dressed now.
21:38All I have to do is to sign these forms,
21:41and then you can hand them in at the recruiting office.
21:44Dr Turner, were you in the Royal Army Medical Corps?
21:47I certainly was.
21:50When I saw an advert for the RAMC, it was perfect.
21:53I've always been interested in two things.
21:55Nursing, because of my mum, I suppose,
21:57and the army, because...
22:01Well, just because.
22:02Because of you.
22:04You've got a lot to offer, Mark.
22:05And you'll get a lot out of it, too.
22:13Sisters, may I direct your attention towards the guest room
22:16when you've finished your labours?
22:19Guest room?
22:20Are we expecting Nurse Aylward's brother?
22:22No.
22:23Nurse Corrigan is sending Colette to stay with us.
22:26She has a fitting for her bridesmaid dress.
22:29This is all happening very late in the day.
22:32It's not much more than a month before the wedding.
22:35Oh, good morning.
22:40What brings you here?
22:41There's something you missed with Mother.
22:43She was fine when I took her a breakfast.
22:45Oh.
22:48Nurse Corrigan, do you mind not telling Mum you saw me here?
22:51I was having my army medical.
22:53I see.
22:54My lips are sealed.
22:56I still haven't told her.
22:58They could send me anywhere in the world,
23:00and then what will she do?
23:02Let's just take this one step at a time, shall we?
23:05Oh, my back aches.
23:08It's killing me.
23:09It's the drug working its way out of your body, Jackie.
23:12I can't do this.
23:17You're doing so well.
23:22Sister, is there any possibility that Mother is in labour?
23:28I think she is having a contraption.
23:36I'm not ready.
23:39I'm not ready.
23:40My body's not ready.
23:41I think it is, Jackie.
23:43All will be well.
23:44Because bodies know a thing or two.
23:47And so do we.
23:53Mrs Briscoe!
23:54District nurse calling.
24:05Is Nurse Corrigan come for your procedure?
24:07One moment.
24:08I'm not decent.
24:11Jackie, how about a little gas and air for your next contraction?
24:14No.
24:15I don't want any drugs.
24:16I've hurt my baby enough.
24:18This won't harm, baby.
24:19You'll just take the edge off your pain.
24:21Oh, I think my walls are broken.
24:26Tell you've done this before.
24:27Wonderful.
24:28Let's get you onto the bed.
24:32We're having to call me.
24:34Baby's in distress.
24:35One hundred and eighty.
24:52The baby needs to be born now.
24:53It's good to see you're able to get up and fetch yourself some snacks, Mrs Briscoe.
25:07I don't know what you're talking about.
25:09I lead the most terrible life stuck here, needing help to go to the toilet, unable to feed myself.
25:15It doesn't need to be.
25:16These legs just need exercising.
25:21And you've got a lazy bowel from too much laxative dependence.
25:26Both can be rectified.
25:29What does that mean?
25:30It means that with a little hard work, you can get your independence back.
25:35That's cruel, that is.
25:37And typical of the medical profession.
25:39Do you think I haven't tried everything?
25:40I'm going to make your next appointment with Dr Turner at the surgery, Mrs Briscoe.
25:44How am I supposed to get to the surgery?
25:46I can't walk.
25:47I'd be in a state of collapse.
25:49I'm sure we can provide tea and a biscuit to revive you.
25:57It appears you favour custard creams.
25:59This is just baby's head crowning.
26:14Jackie, the stinging won't last long.
26:16Slow the delivery down, baby cat.
26:17Small, short breaths through this next contraction.
26:21Wonderful.
26:22That's wonderful.
26:23Just like that.
26:24You're a dab hand at this, Jackie.
26:26Oh, really?
26:27I feel like I've made a mess of everything.
26:30You're a lovely mother to Gary.
26:33And you're going to be a lovely mother to this one, too.
26:38Blow again.
26:40Blow again.
26:41Like this.
26:47Superb work.
26:48Baby's head has been delivered.
26:49Now, we need gentle pushes to deliver the rest of baby.
27:04Clump and cut now.
27:06Congratulations, Jackie.
27:07You have a son.
27:09Oh, one of each.
27:11Kerry wanted a little brother.
27:13Oh, can I hold him?
27:20The little fella just needs cleaning up and a bit of help with his breathing.
27:26What's wrong with his breathing?
27:27No, nothing.
27:28He's just a bit of a lazy bones.
27:33Call the ambulance.
27:34Is this because of what I did?
27:39Is this my fault?
27:44Come on, little soldier.
27:45And then Johnny will talk to us, and I will ask him questions for you.
28:04Oh.
28:05Oh, when will Mum and Dad be home?
28:07They're helping a lady have her baby, but they'll be back soon.
28:10Do they have to sign forms with her?
28:13No, sweetheart.
28:14Why?
28:15They had to sign forms with me so that I could be their child.
28:20You've been waiting for this for such a long time, haven't you?
28:23It's nearly a year.
28:24A year is a long time, Maeve, but a lifetime is even longer,
28:30and you are going to be part of this family forever.
28:33So, come and sit with me, and we'll have a think about that, shall we?
28:37We're going to take Phoebe to St. Cuthbert's, Jackie.
28:47Even her specialist help there, and we'll be very well looked after.
28:51You can't go without me.
28:53You've got to stay here, Jackie.
28:56You need looking after yourself.
28:57Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
29:10Michael.
29:14Can we call him Michael?
29:16After your father?
29:17Why would you want to call him after your father?
29:23Because I haven't stopped thinking about him.
29:26Or my mum.
29:28In spite of everything that's been said.
29:31In spite of everything that's been done.
29:33And I know that they loved me as a newborn.
29:36Just like I loved this little squirrel.
29:39Your parents cut you off, Jackie, because of me.
29:41It wasn't my parents.
29:43It was my mum.
29:45My dad was a good dad.
29:49God, I...
29:51If that's what you want.
29:54His temperature's stable, but you must keep him warm.
29:58I'm sorry, Michael.
30:03It's no good, son.
30:17I'm spent.
30:18I can't do any more.
30:19Yes, you can.
30:25Well done.
30:26There's only a few more, mum.
30:28And the taxi's right outside the door.
30:30OK?
30:30Afternoon.
30:51How are you?
30:54I'm getting by.
30:56I've heard about the accusation.
30:57I'm sorry.
31:01You sound like a clear case of racial prejudice to me.
31:05They asked us to come here.
31:07And we did.
31:09I can't say it's ever been quite the welcome that they promised.
31:13I arrived at this very port.
31:16I've scarcely travelled a mile since then.
31:19But sometimes I feel like an astronaut.
31:21I've come so far and learned to breathe such a different day.
31:28So did I.
31:32This is home now.
31:34Whether I'm happy or whether I'm not.
31:38Whether I'm wanted or whether I'm not.
31:41I can't go back.
31:54She can't get out of the cab.
31:56Or she won't.
31:57Won't or can't.
31:59You go back to your mother.
32:00And wait in the taxi.
32:02Keep the meter running if need be.
32:04Jackie?
32:17Mrs. Ferridge?
32:22I'm sorry, Doctor.
32:24But there's no world in which I can make it up those stairs.
32:26My legs don't work.
32:28In which case I will have to examine you in the taxi.
32:31There's no dignity in this.
32:37A word of thanks to Doctor for his consideration would be nice.
32:43Any chance we'll get no idea on the meter?
32:48St. Cuthbert's called to say Mrs. Ferridge has just been seen
32:51leaving the special care nursery with her husband.
32:55Thank goodness we know where she is.
32:58Did she try to take the baby?
33:00Baby Michael remains in his incubator.
33:03So, at least one patient is in the proper place.
33:12I've tested them thoroughly.
33:13There's certainly nothing wrong with your reflexes, Mrs. Briscoe.
33:17What about my thyroid?
33:18Your levels have been tested in the last three months.
33:21Things look spot on in that regard.
33:24I sat my last doctor for saying that and you're ignoring my arthritis.
33:27I can't walk.
33:29Mark, he's calling me a liar.
33:31And then on one of my turns, I can feel it coming on.
33:33Mrs. Briscoe, there is no reason we can't get you back on your feet if we all work together.
33:40You can have occupational therapy and we can work out a plan to help you with your bowels.
33:45But you have to want to do it.
33:51What am I going to do?
33:53It's my army interview tomorrow.
33:55Then tell her.
33:57She's not as helpless as she'd have you believe.
34:00And perhaps she needs to hear it.
34:01I don't believe it.
34:08You've all grown so much, they don't fit.
34:12Does that mean you'll have to cut these out and measure them again?
34:16It does.
34:17And Nancy's changed her mind about the style of her dress.
34:21I've got my work cut out and no mistake.
34:24No pun intended.
34:25I thought I had never seen you happier than when you were ready to enter the Nobisian.
34:54I was happier.
34:55In that moment than I have ever been.
35:00Before or since.
35:03But this life, any life, it doesn't just consist of moments, does it?
35:10No.
35:11It consists of years in which we faced life in all its aspects, all its difficulties.
35:20In our search for happiness and peace of mind.
35:26My peace of mind has so many enemies.
35:34Is it permissible to say that?
35:36Admission is essential.
35:38I've been caring for a very vulnerable mother.
35:48And I see myself in her.
35:53Her family cut her off because of the path she chose.
35:57As have yours.
35:59As have yours.
36:03And I cannot reconcile myself to it.
36:06I have caused my parents so much pain.
36:12Just like my patient caused her parents.
36:15She wanted more.
36:16She wanted more.
36:17I wanted more.
36:20You wanted something greater.
36:23Whatever our desires were.
36:24However, the end result has been the same.
36:30Things have been lost.
36:33And broken.
36:36Perhaps forever.
36:37My family could not accept my calling.
36:47And they could not forgive me when I answered God.
36:53But with his help, acceptance and forgiveness are within my gift.
37:05Sister.
37:07Am I wrong to want their blessing when I have so many others?
37:15You may be wrong to assume that they will never give it.
37:20Emotions sometimes take time to soften.
37:25Write to them.
37:28Invite them.
37:30And I will pray for a beneficent reply.
37:37I keep asking myself, long or short?
37:43Short or long?
37:45Do you think this is suitable for the premiere, Joyce?
37:48I can't go back and change it.
37:51Just keep it low-key, Rosalyn.
37:53You don't want to draw any more attention to yourselves than necessary.
37:57Even stepping out with a black man is going to get your unwanted attention.
38:00So you keep saying.
38:01So, ladies, I've continued to apply discreet pressure.
38:07And Mrs. Buckle, keen to showcase Poplar's most upstanding citizens,
38:11finally provided tickets for us all.
38:13I thought it might be a nice way to celebrate after your hearing.
38:18Celebrate?
38:19If I lose at that hearing, I will lose everything.
38:23My registration, my job, and my home.
38:27And you just come breezing in here talking about celebrating?
38:30We've just been really insensitive.
38:39Yes, I'm afraid we have.
38:43We'll apologise once Joyce has had a chance to collect herself.
38:47In the meantime, I want to talk to you about your shoes.
38:54I have some news, Mum.
38:55It's something exciting, but it won't mean change for us.
39:01I passed my medical test.
39:05I've got my final interview tomorrow.
39:08That was me thinking you had a lady friend.
39:13If I pass, I get to train at older shop for 16 weeks.
39:17And then I get posted somewhere.
39:20Maybe even overseas.
39:25What will become of me?
39:28I'll make sure you're all right, Mum.
39:31But I can't work in a gentleman's outfits for the rest of my life.
39:34It's suffocating me.
39:38I've sacrificed my life for you.
39:42Raised you on my own since we lost your dad.
39:45And for what? To be told I suffocate you?
39:46Please don't do this, Mum.
39:47I don't want you to do anything for me anymore.
39:49Live your life. Live your dream.
39:51Go.
39:52I won't be accused of stands in your way.
39:53Get out!
39:56Get out!
39:57Now!
40:07How are you feeling, Jackie?
40:09Much better.
40:10The pain's in the sweat and I've gone.
40:13Michael's doing nicely, too.
40:14Shall I put some milk in this for Kerry?
40:17I haven't been to the shops yet.
40:18Where is your husband today?
40:23Back on the building site.
40:25Someone has to earn, don't they?
40:27Well, when Sister Catherine's finished,
40:30we'll go through the forms for milk and orange juice.
40:33And I'll tell you about the social worker you've been assigned.
40:37His name is Mr Robinson.
40:38He's very nice.
40:39We don't need a welfare officer.
40:41I'm off drugs and my husband is working.
40:45I'm off drugs and my husband is working.
40:45I've got butter.
41:15I'm off drugs and my tummy.
41:16So have I.
41:24Oh, of course!
41:25Mrs Frisco!
41:27What happened?
41:28I fell down the stairs, hit my head.
41:30I can't move.
41:32You're lucky I decided to call in.
41:34I need Mark.
41:35Can you get Mark?
41:36Can you get Mark?
41:37It's a miracle.
41:42No bump, cut or bruise.
41:44And somehow, in your fall,
41:48your cup of tea didn't spill a drop.
41:52If I hadn't stopped by,
41:56it's Mark who would have found you here, isn't it?
42:02May's mother, Miss Esther Tang,
42:05who currently remains living in Hong Kong,
42:07has now completed the formal agreement for the adoption.
42:10Thank you, Mr Hallett.
42:12So may.
42:14Today is the big day.
42:16We are going to make a formal decision
42:17that Doctor and Mrs Turner
42:20will be your legal father and legal mother.
42:24Are you happy about that?
42:26I've been happy for a long time,
42:28just knowing it will happen.
42:29Then, are we all agreed?
42:36The adoption order has been made.
42:40Congratulations.
42:46Thank you, sir.
42:47My pleasure.
42:48Good to see you.
42:52Nurse Crane.
42:53I'm sorry to interrupt your work, Mr Griscoll.
42:56I need to speak to you about your mother.
42:58There's been an incident.
43:00An incident?
43:01Is she all right?
43:02No harm was done at all.
43:04But there are some facts
43:05of which you need to be apprised.
43:19Thank you for your advice,
43:21Sister Monica Joan.
43:23I'm writing to my family.
43:25Oh, just a moment.
43:28A missive of such import
43:33deserves a special letterhead
43:36and bond.
43:44Oh, Marky.
43:46I've had a terrible day.
43:48I know.
43:49I spoke to Nurse Crane.
43:51I want to talk.
43:52But not here.
43:55I set the table for tea downstairs.
43:57I'll see you there.
43:57We've managed to get ourselves into a right mess, Mum.
44:28Don't you think?
44:35You're too young to be an invalid.
44:37And I'm too young to be looking after you.
44:39It's not healthy.
44:39Not healthy?
44:42What more do you want, Mark?
44:43I want us to be honest with each other.
44:44I want you to support me and my ambitions, and I want you to have your own dreams, too.
44:53Dreams?
44:54At my age, I put my dreams aside to bring you up.
44:57You're going to have to get them out again, Mum, and spruce them up, because...
45:01Because I'm going to take this job if I get it.
45:06I want to see the world.
45:08Make you proud.
45:09I promise.
45:10I want you to work this for me, Mum.
45:17I want your blessing.
45:18My work shoes are gone.
45:28And my uniform.
45:29Have you seen that?
45:37Don't cry or you'll make me cry.
45:40I felt so alone.
45:42Never.
45:42Not here.
45:43And not with us.
45:45You have friends, Joyce.
45:46And what's more, you now have an immaculately ironed uniform and a perfectly polished pair of shoes.
45:59Emma.
46:01Dad.
46:02Hey.
46:03Hello.
46:04How are you doing?
46:05You want to come up?
46:07There we go.
46:08One, two, three.
46:10We'll have a wee play here, will we?
46:12While Mummy's shares it.
46:16Hey, Jackie.
46:20Hey.
46:22What's going on?
46:24What are you doing back home?
46:27We weren't expecting you.
46:34Where's your wedding ring?
46:37I lost it.
46:39Don't lie to me, Jackie.
46:46You sold your wedding ring for this.
46:54Mummy, where did you even get this from?
46:56Don't, please, please.
46:58It's so hard without Michael.
47:00I'll be fine when he comes home.
47:02It's just to get me through.
47:03You're not going to get him back like this.
47:04Look at me like that.
47:07Like I'm dirty.
47:08Like I'm bad.
47:09I would never have taken it if I hadn't met you.
47:13We moved on, Jackie.
47:16At least I moved on.
47:18I'm doing my best here.
47:20To stay clean.
47:22To give this family a decent go of things.
47:24Don't go through.
47:25Wait, please.
47:26You know what it's like.
47:28You could do it with me.
47:31So?
47:32You wanted me to take it with you once.
47:34Remember?
47:35And I did.
47:38Because I love you.
47:42And now I'm asking you to just take it with me.
47:50You think I'm selfish?
47:53That I'm standing in my son's way?
47:56I think you're afraid of being alone.
47:59And you don't have to be.
48:01You'll miss him.
48:03But you won't lose him.
48:06He'll visit.
48:08He's clearly devoted to you.
48:11As I was to my mother.
48:14It was hard for her when I left home to train.
48:17But then she found things to do.
48:20Which had been impossible with me clinging to her skirts.
48:24What do you miss most?
48:29I used to like a jumble sale.
48:31That's something to aim for.
48:33But small steps first.
48:37Let's see if you can get these shoes on yourself.
48:40Ready?
49:01Good.
49:03Then we shall go.
49:04Hello?
49:12Hello?
49:13Mrs. Berridge?
49:15Mr. Berridge?
49:17Carrie.
49:21We need to get in.
49:22Mrs. Berridge?
49:27Mr. Berridge?
49:29Is anyone home?
49:31She's hungry.
49:32She hasn't been changed for hours.
49:33She's wet and dirty.
49:35Maybe Mrs. Berridge is still sleeping.
49:37Oh, no.
49:48Oh, no.
49:48Oh, no.
49:48Oh, no.
49:48Oh, no.
49:50There's no pulse on her code.
50:12No.
50:12I'll contact the police and try to trace next of kin.
50:25Nurse Hyland has won three awards for excellence.
50:28One for outstanding performance for her midwifery examinations.
50:31And two, whilst training to be a nurse.
50:33Nevertheless, we are here to address a complaint of negligence by Mrs. Bernadette Midgley.
50:42Mrs. Midgley's accusations are entirely unfounded.
50:46She is seeking to escape responsibility for her own personal decision.
50:49To refuse care from a nurse whose race she considered distasteful.
50:55I consider that appalling.
50:58That is not what we are here to discuss, sister.
51:12I thought I'd driven it home to him at the methadone clinic.
51:16Turning back to heroin after abstinence increases the risk of accidental overdose.
51:20There's also been talk of contaminated drugs in the area.
51:23What the dealers call dodgy gear.
51:26Yes, I've heard about that too.
51:29The inquest may reveal more.
51:32For all the good it will do.
51:33These poor children.
51:36We have to hope that Mr. Robinson has some luck back at the office,
51:40tracing the children's grandparents.
51:44Mrs. Midgley said you made her feel uncomfortable and criticized.
51:49That was never my intention.
51:50I was encouraging her to exercise, as stipulated in the new medical advice,
51:56which encourages ambulation after giving birth.
51:59And can you explain why you left without conducting an examination?
52:03I wanted to examine her.
52:05She was in pain in her calf, and to me, the area looked red, as though it was inflamed.
52:11I tried, and she refused to cooperate.
52:16She said she didn't want...
52:19She didn't want a black person to touch her.
52:23What's all this?
52:36Why are there boxes in the hole?
52:37Are you moving house?
52:38No.
52:40I'm sorting stuff out for a jumble sale.
52:42Your mother's making progress.
52:44I take it there's news?
53:00Oh, son.
53:04Oh, careful, Mum.
53:07I'm not dead yet.
53:08Well done.
53:14You go and spread your wings.
53:17We have concluded that there was no disobedience and no misconduct on the part of Nurse Highland.
53:44I am exonerated?
53:48Completely.
53:50Sister Julianne's comments regarding Mrs. Midgley's attitude have been made a matter of record.
53:56There will be no further action.
54:06And that completes my case notes on Jackie Berridge.
54:10Mother deceased, drug overdose, and the date.
54:18Footnote, baby and older sibling transferred to care of maternal grandparents.
54:23That is something, I suppose.
54:28Sometimes our prayers are answered.
54:31But not always in the way that we desire.
54:34There's a letter for you, sister.
54:40It's addressed to Miss S. Canthar.
54:43This is my sister's writing.
54:47Dear Sandra,
54:49thank you for the invitation to your first vow ceremony.
54:52Nothing will stop me from being there,
54:54even if I have to come on my own.
54:56I miss you and I love you.
55:02Sounds as though my parents and my other siblings
55:04still can't come to terms with my vocation.
55:07But Helen has.
55:10I will have family with me.
55:12I think we're all going to represent Potthar very well.
55:24Mrs. Buckle will be quite delighted.
55:26You look absolutely smashing, love.
55:28It's not every day you get to walk around the corner
55:29and rub shoulders with royalty.
55:32Rosalind has gone on ahead with Cyril.
55:35Shall we go?
55:36Yes.
55:36I'm terrified of them to get there after Princess Anne.
55:45Oi!
55:46Can't you do better than that?
55:48Little blonde like you.
55:49You'll lose them in the dark.
55:50I beg your pardon.
55:51Just be glad.
55:52Why should I ignore them?
55:53If I ignore them,
55:54they'll assume that they've made their point
55:55and they'll make it again with someone else
55:57and then nothing is ever going to change.
55:58Change will come, Rosalind.
56:01But it's going to take time.
56:02And we haven't got any more time to waste.
56:04I want to be with you, Cyril.
56:07I want to share things with you.
56:09Days and dreams and plans and conversations
56:14and coffee after work
56:15and nights out with both of us looking beautiful.
56:19And you do look very, very beautiful.
56:23So do you.
56:27Is it allowed to say that a man looks beautiful?
56:34Babies are born, but families are forged.
56:56Year after year after year,
56:58the stuff of belonging is tempered and strengthened,
57:04shaped by life and its chances and demands,
57:08created by love and all that we let go.
57:17And even in loss, new life is given back to us.
57:21There will always be another open door.
57:31There will always be another gift,
57:35another celebration,
57:37something to pass from hand to hand.
57:40It may only be a small thing,
57:46and the pleasure it brings may be entirely fleeting.
57:50But embrace it.
57:53Be at peace with it.
57:55And like a child,
57:57embrace all the happiness it brings.
58:00There's been a fire at Arbery
58:09with mothers-to-be there.
58:11Hello again, Paula.
58:13Come on, honey.
58:13Let's get you inside.
58:15If you're looking for us to take her in,
58:16the answer's no.
