00:00And we've had a card from Sister Veronica in Hong Kong.
00:04The post on a sterile surface.
00:10Christopher doing nicely. New hibiscus clinic thriving.
00:14Sister Hilda in her element. Element underlined.
00:19We may now turn our attention to the particularly trying day we have ahead.
00:23Do we really have to move clinic to the annex at St Cuthbert's?
00:27Of course. The Board of Health have given us no notice.
00:30Dr Turner has tried his utmost, but there's been no reprieve.
00:33I know that, Annex. The screens and equipment are totally inadequate.
00:37We'll be taking our own accoutrements, don't you worry.
00:40Meanwhile, we do have both Nurse Sailwood and Nurse Clifford coming back today.
00:46Will you get a chance to go to bed this morning and catch up on some sleep?
00:49No. I'm going to meet Miss Higgins and try and lick these new arrangements into shape.
00:55You do have to wonder what it all bodes.
01:03I keep thinking about how we counted every step all the way to the top of York Minster.
01:08And now I'm counting every step all the way back to your front door in Lunata's house.
01:13Because there are hardly any left before it's over.
01:16It was a beautiful view from the top of York Minster. And nothing is over.
01:24It felt like another beginning, didn't it?
01:26Yes, it did.
01:27Let's go and make another cup of coffee before we go back to the ordinary one.
01:33You think it's rats, Mr Buckley?
01:36Nasty greedy things. Niner things with their incisors.
01:40This lead pipe. If they know that, they'd get poisoned.
01:43I want them poisoned. I use this flat for prayer meeting.
01:46It's not rats. It's just, the soldiers perished. It's not tissue paper, this Fred.
01:53Oh, oh, oh!
01:57Hang on.
01:58Look.
01:59I reckon you need to pull all these out.
02:02Re-fit it with proper plastic.
02:05I'll just put something on the house.
02:06Did you hear?
02:07We're moving back to Poplar.
02:09Moss Street.
02:10Oh, Walthamstow didn't rain long then.
02:12No!
02:13Never mind your geographical teacher.
02:15This young man is wheezing like a creaking gate.
02:18Hey, use your inhaler.
02:19Son, it's alright.
02:20He just gets like this every time we pull up floorboards.
02:23He's alright.
02:24Hello, Mrs. Wallace.
02:30Fred.
02:31What's all this?
02:33Greetings, Pastor Robinson.
02:35And greetings, Rosalie.
02:37You didn't see the plumber's van outside?
02:40Perhaps your mind was on other matters.
02:49Good afternoon, Miss Figgins.
02:51I've been sent to hold the fort while you're at clinic.
02:54Master Timothy Turner.
02:56Or should that be doctor?
02:59A little bird informed me that a certain set of examinations
03:03have not only been passed, but passed with flying colours.
03:07Yes.
03:08That pen you gave me stood me in very good stead.
03:12Of course, I won't be writing any prescriptions out with it
03:15until I'm formally qualified.
03:16All good things will happen in time.
03:19Mrs. Hennessy, we discussed the merits and demerits of peanut butter chars last week.
03:34Leave your sample with me.
03:36And if you cannot find a seat, you make you against the wall.
03:40I'd be extra alert for signs of protein in that one.
03:44And diabetes in the rose hip syrup bottle.
03:50Honestly, Aisha, I'm still a bit full from our lunch.
03:54Feed mother, feed baby.
03:57Maybe I'll just nibble on one while I'm waiting.
04:00Ruth can?
04:01Oh, hello, Ruth, dear.
04:03I'm sorry we're still finding our feet in our new location.
04:06Sister Julienne will see you behind the screens in the far corner.
04:10I can't.
04:11I have to go in on my own.
04:14You know the drill.
04:15Is there somewhere I can put this?
04:25Um, a paper towel, perhaps?
04:28I was thinking more like the bin.
04:29I love this sort of food, but my mum-in-law keeps trying to feed me and I'm not that hungry.
04:36We do advise small, frequent meals at this stage of the pregnancy.
04:43Nurse Crane said that in mother craft class.
04:46I had to translate it for my mother-in-law and I think she only heard frequent.
04:50I don't think it will be too long before baby puts in an appearance.
04:55Have we delivered the home birth pack to you yet?
04:58No.
04:59I'm so glad I'm having it in my own bed.
05:01Babies are born at home in my husband's tradition and I was born at home with Nunata's nuns,
05:06so it's something that sort of makes us the same.
05:09I'll put by tomorrow with the pack and then we'll be all prepared.
05:13Kindly desist forthwith.
05:28Those cards contain confidential medical information.
05:31I work for the National Health Service.
05:34In which case I should not need to point out the proprieties.
05:38I'm starting to think we were moved here for a reason.
05:41Now we're on national health premises, can't they just breeze in at will?
05:45It's the thin end of the wedge.
05:47If they want information about our district cases then they should put in a formal request.
05:51The administrator claims they can demand access without notice.
05:55But as we have previously discussed, we are under no obligation to do everything they ask.
06:06I'm not sure she's any nearer to deciding.
06:09Whether to accept the new rules or close Nunata's house.
06:12Sheila, if she delays any longer, it won't be up to her.
06:16And what happens after that will happen to us all.
06:19Are you not partaking in pudding, sister?
06:25Can it be preserved?
06:27I find my appetite does not keep the hours that once it did.
06:32I will put some foil on it.
06:35Standard of cakes has gone right down while Sister Veronica's been away.
06:41This is the second time this week I've made a sponge so bad we've had to pour custard on it.
06:46You pour away.
06:47Custard's one of the things I miss most when I'm in America.
06:50Is there anything else you yearn for whilst you are overseas?
06:53I could be flippant and say lemon curd and electric kettles.
06:57But above all else, I miss the respect for midwifery we're so used to over here.
07:02May I suggest we turn our attention to the matter of St. Raymond's Feast Day.
07:09There will be the usual Eucharist in the chapel in the morning.
07:13And then I thought, as the holiday falls on a bank holiday Monday, a strawberry tea might be appropriate.
07:24Good evening, Mrs. Barrowman.
07:27Now, you look like a woman on a mission.
07:29I'm a woman in search of comestibles.
07:32My Ivan and his family, they're moving out tomorrow, so I'm going to christen the kitchen by making their tea.
07:40Ivan did me a favour and a half this morning, sorting the burst pipe inside an hour.
07:45Good.
07:46Have you got me luncheon meat?
07:49At the bottom left, dear, next to the soap powder.
07:52Oh.
07:55I'm going to take three tins.
07:57Oh, I hope you're planning fritters.
08:00There's nothing like the smell of frying to make a house a home.
08:03Yeah, well, all I can smell at the moment is wet paint and plaster dust.
08:07Still, it's on a better bus route.
08:10Now, Suzanne's got into the grammar school.
08:13Gran, they've got rulers and protractors.
08:15Grammar school.
08:16Well, let's hope this is the beginning of great things for you.
08:19Pick yourself out a rubber. I'll let you have it half price.
08:22Oh!
08:24Last orders for Ovaltine.
08:31I can't drink anything. My face is lathered in complexion food.
08:44Why didn't you come down and join us in the parlour?
08:47I can't seem to settle, Phyllis.
08:50I knew this constant to-ing and fro-ing would have you all frayed around the edges.
08:55I wish I was the only thing that was frayed.
08:57My marriage isn't exactly thriving under the current conditions.
09:04Are you spending too much time apart?
09:07We're certainly not doing enough together.
09:10He has his business interests and I have...
09:14this.
09:16You say that as though this weren't enough.
09:19Won't be enough for anybody, if it all comes to an end.
09:22If you know more than you're cracking on, Trixie, then that's your business
09:27and I'm not going to press you.
09:29But there's been a sword of Damocles hanging over Ninata's house
09:33for almost as long as I've been here.
09:36And we've always lived to fight another day
09:39and deliver another baby.
09:41Things have been changing all the time, haven't they?
09:47Yes.
09:49And we're still here.
09:52Though I can't answer for your epidermis
09:56if you leave that face back on much longer.
10:04Midwife calling?
10:06Midwife calling?
10:09You're welcome.
10:17You've certainly got everything...
10:19and everyone organised, Ruth.
10:21Dilwa's well on his way up the ladder at the factory,
10:24but yet to start out as a government presser.
10:26A good manager must have experience of every department.
10:29This not management. This woman's work.
10:32It is all right, isn't it? The flat?
10:37The flat is spotlessly clean.
10:39And this is clearly a home full of love.
10:42I inspect for that too.
10:44It's much more important.
10:46You wouldn't have found that in the house I grew up in.
10:49My mum ran off and left us when I was eight.
10:53And my dad hardly knew what to do with us.
10:57Please?
11:06We...
11:07wanted to ask you something, sister.
11:11Can Dilwa stay with me when the baby's born?
11:15But of course.
11:19I want it because I do not want Ruth to be afraid.
11:21And I won't be if Dilwa's with me.
11:27Madge!
11:28I found the tomato sauce!
11:29What was it?
11:30It was in the tea chest for the bedding!
11:32Andrea!
11:35Susie, you'll have to go on the camp bed
11:36until that new mattress is delivered.
11:38You know what I mean for us?
11:40Oh, she'd be like lunch and meat, apparently.
11:43It means you don't like your cooking.
11:45Hey!
11:50Give us some more sauce!
11:55Thank you for wanting to be with me.
11:59I don't want to be outside the door,
12:01waiting for my mother to come out and tell me how you're doing.
12:03At least that's not going to happen now.
12:05The mother is always in the room with the mother.
12:08I do everything I can to respect your customs, Dilwa.
12:13But if we don't do some things our way,
12:16we aren't going to know who we are.
12:19Please, don't let her in the room.
12:33Oh, Suzanne, love.
12:34I need you to go to the phone box and ring the doctor.
12:38It's dark.
12:40The phone hasn't been connected
12:41and nobody else is well enough to go.
12:43Paul's still in the outside lab and his asthma's bad.
12:46The operator will help you find the number.
12:48Put your coat and shoes on.
12:52Ivan!
12:55Can you let me in?
12:57Why? Why me?
12:58Just keep puffing on it as often as you feel you need to.
13:10The stress of the vomiting has aggravated your asthma.
13:13I'm hoping that's very enough.
13:15You know, I haven't worn the old porcelain turban like that in years.
13:19I know it's tough, but if it is something you've all eaten,
13:22then the best thing is to let your body clear itself of the poison.
13:26I know my mum's cooking a glitters in here.
13:29You're shivering, Ivan.
13:31I can see your goosebumps from here.
13:34You can take paracetamol for fever.
13:38Only.
13:39Then go to bed and keep yourselves warm.
13:41The tea's up and Suzanne's busy putting water beside your beds.
13:46You're a bit overqualified to be a waiter, aren't you?
13:49Chip off the old bloke, eh?
13:52Nothing like a lad following in his father's footsteps.
13:55Paul's working with Ivan now.
13:57They did half the renovations to this house.
13:59All my cons.
14:01Sent you eating, if you please.
14:03Put it on, if need be.
14:05This is going to seem like a bad dream by tomorrow tea time.
14:08Dua!
14:14Shh!
14:15They must keep him.
14:19You, you sit, you sit.
14:25I need him to go to the telephone box
14:27and ring the Nartis house Aisha.
14:31I telephone, you sit, you rest.
14:34Are you heading out already?
14:38Angela and I are practising our bus route for the grammar school.
14:41She's a bit worried about the change at the top of the commercial road.
14:45It'll soon become second nature.
14:47Aren't you wearing your blazer to get you in the mood?
14:50It's a rehearsal, not a dress rehearsal.
14:53They should put you two on the television.
14:59It's like watching a dance routine.
15:01London Palladium, here we come.
15:03Let's get you into the bed, honey.
15:05Hello.
15:13Hello.
15:15Are you the lady who's about to become a grandma?
15:17Yes.
15:19Tell.
15:20Her.
15:22Go!
15:24Mother, go!
15:25Mama!
15:26Have you been to the hospital?
15:27Mama!
15:28Have you been to the hospital?
15:29Mama!
15:30Is it because of Paul's asthma that you're making a return visit?
15:50He was the one that worried me.
15:53But everyone in the house is affected apart from Suzanne.
15:57Which makes them vulnerable.
16:05The bedroom curtains are still drawn.
16:23Doctor calling.
16:25Hello.
16:38Stop being sick.
16:40I've used up nearly all my inhaler.
16:42My head's splitting.
16:44You're dehydrated, which won't help.
16:46Are your parents upstairs?
16:48I haven't come down yet.
16:52No.
16:54I'm stuck.
16:55I'm stuck.
16:56I can't get out.
16:57Ruth, you're really there.
17:00It's just all happened so fast.
17:01You've hardly had a chance to catch your breath.
17:04Listen to the message, Ruth.
17:06Do you know what you'll be doing?
17:09Well, you obviously do.
17:12That's it, Ruth.
17:13Keep pushing.
17:14Just like that.
17:16Your wife's a quick learner.
17:17Mr. Barrowman?
17:18Mrs. Barrowman?
17:19Dr. Turner's going to come up and see you in a minute.
17:22Mr. Barrowman?
17:26Mrs. Barrowman?
17:28Dr. Turner's going to come up and see you in a minute.
17:29I'll see you in a minute.
17:30I'll see you in a minute.
17:59Dad?
18:00Dad?
18:01Dad!
18:02Nooo!
18:03Noooo!
18:04That's it, Daniel.
18:06You did it!
18:07You did it!
18:08And he's a boy!
18:09Nooo!
18:10It's a boy!
18:11Dad
18:41You've given me a son
18:56No pulse, no pupil reflexes
19:13You poor little love
19:19I think
19:25Mr. Barrowman has gone too
19:31First we need an ambulance for Paul he's in respiratory distress and then we need to call the police
19:42I've gone a bit faint
19:51Good breaths
19:54Then we need to get you outside
19:56I think I know what this is
20:00Why can't I go back inside?
20:02You're to sit on the pavement and wait for the ambulance to arrive
20:06I'll wait with you
20:08Where's my mum and my dad? I can't go to hospital without them knowing
20:12Dr. Turner's in charge of everything
20:14What's happening inside
20:16It's not an ambulance
20:18It's a police car
20:22Is this bad?
20:28Not necessarily
20:30But the placenta should have come away by now
20:32We don't want you to go to hospital honey
20:34I don't either
20:36I think you may have a full bladder
20:38And sometimes that gets in the way
20:40You can pass water
20:42That may help
20:43I'll get you a bedpan
20:44Can we have it ladies only for that bit?
20:46I think you've seen enough for one day
20:48I hear your wife cry and I cry
21:00I hear the baby cry and I cry
21:02Why are you speaking in English?
21:04Why are you speaking in English?
21:06Think like an Englishman
21:08You understand like an Englishman
21:10You understand like an Englishman
21:12Ruth has just given birth
21:14It was not easy
21:16It's not easy now
21:18Not easy
21:20Because she need mother
21:22A mother has known her pain
21:26A mother gives ease
21:28A mother gives peace
21:30A husband can't give that
21:32A husband can't give that
21:34She wanted me there
21:36All's well then ends well
21:38Road past water
21:40And then the after birth
21:42It's not for you to even hear such things
21:48We have a young man
21:52Asthmatic
21:54Dehydrated from food poisoning
21:56And suspected exposure to carbon monoxide
21:58Where's my mum and dad
22:00And my sister?
22:02Stay with him
22:04Keep them on an even queue
22:06No
22:08I tell you
22:10There is nothing like a cream horn
22:12After a successful delivery
22:14I'm more of a custard tart girl really
22:16Honey, what are you fretting about?
22:20What are you fretting about?
22:22Mrs. Wallace phoned Cyril last night
22:24And she wants to speak to him about his conduct
22:26And also his conscience
22:28Are you surprised?
22:30He's a pastor
22:32Who walks into his flat
22:34Which is also his church
22:36With a woman who is not his wife
22:38Carrying bags from a weekend away
22:40And bumps into the principal elder
22:42I had hoped
22:44You'd tell me not to worry
22:45That's not what friends are for
22:46Hmm
22:52Where's my grandson?
22:54It's through there
22:56He's resting and receiving oxygen
22:58I could come in with you if you'd like that
23:00What I'd like
23:02Is to have my son
23:04And my daughter-in-law
23:05And my granddaughter still alive
23:07I'd like them to have seen a competent doctor
23:10Who hadn't tucked them into their deathbeds
23:12With kind words and no action
23:30Three deaths in one family
23:34Three deaths in one family
23:36Miss Higgins says if the statements are signed
23:38She'll deal with them immediately
23:42I don't think I've ever had to do harder paperwork than this
23:47Oh, age 11
23:51She might have been in Angela's class
23:55I told them to go to bed and keep warm
24:00And when we found them
24:04Her little hand was hardly cold at all
24:17You're a good man, Pastor Robinson
24:20And you're doing a good job navigating this church through some very choppy waters
24:25But you haven't come here to tell me what I'm doing well
24:28Have you, Mrs. Wallace?
24:31No, I have not
24:33I have come here to tell you that you're compromising your position
24:37And you're compromising that young girl
24:40Nobody at church knows you went away together
24:43Nobody at church?
24:45You don't think the Almighty go to church?
24:48The Almighty see everything
24:51And what's more, he knows his way to York Minster
24:54I'm sorry, Mrs. Wallace
24:57We are modern people
25:01Living in a modern world
25:04Wrestling with some very modern problems
25:07But sometimes, Pastor Robinson
25:11The best way of protecting ourselves and those we love
25:15Is by being a little bit old fashioned
25:19You understand?
25:21Because I require you to understand
25:25To understand
25:30How?
25:32I mean, how?
25:34Was it the food my Nan cooked?
25:36Paul, everything is going to have to be reviewed by the coroner
25:40Ultimately, they will pronounce a verdict
25:41I don't need a verdict
25:42I just need to know
25:45Because if I don't know, I can't believe they're dead
25:52Paul, from what the lab tests tell us
25:56The food your Nan cooked probably made you all ill
26:00But that's a simple case of bacteria with the tinned meat
26:05Not her fault at all
26:07Suzanne never had any, anyway
26:11Yesterday
26:13I suspected
26:16That the problem
26:18Was
26:20Carbon monoxide poisoning
26:22And now the post-mortem have said exactly the same thing
26:27The signs are clear and unmistakable
26:31It's in the air, isn't it? Carbon monoxide
26:33Carbon monoxide?
26:34Only in very small amounts
26:36When there's too much
26:39It becomes very dangerous
26:41Why would there be too much?
26:44If a heating system develops problems
26:47It was a brand new boiler
26:49My dad fitted it himself
26:59Oh
27:03I helped him, Dr Turner
27:04I helped him, Dr Turner
27:07Oh
27:08Oh
27:14Timothy said everything Daddy did when he went out to that family was appropriate
27:19Why is he so upset?
27:20Angela
27:24Every so often when you work in medicine we say a case gets under her skin
27:31This case has got under Daddy's skin
27:34PHONE RINGS
27:35PHONE RINGS
27:37PHONE RINGS
27:39Hello?
27:40Oh Mrs Turner
27:42I rang the surgery but Dr Turner wasn't there
27:45We've just had the public health inspectors at the shop
27:49Public health inspectors?
27:51We're under investigation for selling contaminated meats
27:55And they've taken I don't know how many tins off the shelf
27:58Well I only picked them up from the cash and carry two days ago
28:02I knew Match Barrowman
28:05She was on the Play Street subcommittee
28:08And now they've gone
28:10Possibly because of something
28:13That we sold
28:17I think we all have to remain calm
28:20Nobody really knows who or what is to blame for this
28:29How did you get on with Mrs. Wallace?
28:32We're going to have to go for a walk
28:34The gas inspectors nearly finished
28:37Once the boiler stripped out I'd have no objection to Paul moving back in
28:41I don't know where you get your flaming nerve
28:44You should be locked up for what you said to my grandson
28:46Telling him he killed his family by fitting a dodgy boiler
28:50Mrs. Barrowman, only the coroner can say what happened
28:53I hope he finds you guilty of criminal negligence
28:58And strikes you off
29:00If you sent them all to hospital
29:03They'd still be alive
29:05We can't turn the clock back, Cyril
29:15Not in terms of morals
29:17And not in terms of what having sex has done to me and my body
29:21And for us and our relationship
29:23That's it
29:25Stopping sleeping together isn't going to turn me into a virgin again
29:27And I wouldn't want it to
29:29I wouldn't want it to either
29:31Because I feel just the same as you
29:33But I am not yet divorced
29:36And I am still a pastor
29:38And I don't like putting you in harm's way
29:40I'm not in harm's way
29:42I'm on the pill
29:44There is more than one type of harm, Nazareth
29:47Maybe we should wait now
29:50Until I'm in a position to put a ring on your finger
29:53And do things decently
29:55I have two things to say in response to that
29:59A. I'm sure Mrs. Wallace would be delighted
30:02B. If that's a proposal of marriage
30:05It's very poorly thought through
30:06And you can keep it
30:07Thank goodness you went in so early
30:26Under no circumstances must any patients be allowed to see it
30:29I'll route out some turps
30:40Phyllis!
30:42Whatever is this?
30:45No one is to contact the police
30:47Patrick, this is a clear case of criminal damage
30:51And probably slander
30:53That family have suffered
30:56And are suffering enough
30:59There's no proof at all that that
31:02Vandalism is anything to do with them
31:05I meanwhile have had to give short shrift to a reporter from the Gazette
31:10He asked questions about potential malpractice
31:14In front of patients?
31:16What did you say?
31:17Well I mainly reminded him that it is against the law to print, publish or speculate on any details of a medical case whilst an inquest is pending
31:26Miss Higgins, that isn't true
31:29The ma'am's very junior and you know better
31:32No further rebuff was required
31:35I don't think anyone knows anything right now
31:38Until we hear from the coroner
31:40I'm not seeing any more patients
31:47This feeling inside me
31:57Could never deny me
31:59The right to be wrong
32:01If I choose
32:03And this pleasure I get from saying
32:06Winning a better list of girls
32:08Nothing good, nothing bad
32:16Nothing ventured
32:18Nothing gained
32:20Nothing still born or lost
32:22Nothing further than proof
32:25Nothing wilder than you
32:27Nothing older than time
32:29Nothing sweeter than white
32:31Nothing physically, recklessly, hopelessly blind
32:34Nothing right
32:35Nothing I couldn't say
32:36Nothing white
32:37Cause today
32:38Nothing right
32:40You know, Cyril called again this morning, don't you?
32:44Before you came down to breakfast
32:46Perhaps he had a sleepless night too
32:51I don't know what we're supposed to say to each other
32:53The matter of my ablutions generally falls to Sister Catherine
33:05Sister Catherine is standing in for Sister Veronica
33:09At the Head Lice conference this morning
33:12And set off looking as though nothing could make her happier
33:16Do you recollect what it was like to be
33:23At the beginning of all this?
33:25Yes, I do
33:27If only barely sometimes
33:29I've watched so much water flow underneath the bridge
33:36The question is, Sister
33:39Do we watch the water?
33:41Or are we the water?
33:43Because if it is the latter
33:46You speak not of change
33:49But of we ourselves being changed
33:53Or changing
33:57It is a rhythm
33:59Is it not?
34:02It is indeed
34:11Sister
34:13How long have your feet been as swollen as this?
34:16It is a recent development
34:19Let us not speak of it
34:22Dad?
34:24What good is shutting yourself away going to do?
34:26It will do less harm than trying to treat patients when they are not trusted
34:40And I can use the time to study the latest statistics on the rising epidurals
34:46Trust is essential, isn't it?
34:49It is like clean hands
34:51Or a steady hand with a lancet
34:54Like antibiotics
34:56Black coffee on the night shift
34:59Can't be a GP without it, son
35:02You are going back to factory and maybe not named?
35:07We can't decide on the name yet, Aisha
35:10When we decide, we'll do it then
35:15She might face
35:17She's sick?
35:19Are you sick?
35:20Sick of being cooped up
35:25I just need some fresh air
35:33Miss Higgins?
35:35Can I ask Dr. Turner to make a house call on Sister Monica Joan?
35:39She seems to have developed some new symptoms
35:47I am afraid that until the Barrowman family situation resolves
35:51He doesn't feel able to see any patients
35:55I understand
35:58In the scheme of things, I suspect this is not urgent
36:10I...
36:13You stay home
36:15The baby needs fresh air, Aisha
36:18And I need to get into a routine
36:24Please don't go out
36:28I'm only popping out for an hour
36:30I can't wait for her
36:31I've changed the sheets, I've cleaned everything.
37:01But he will not let me do anything with that pillowcase.
37:07Oh, lad.
37:09Do you really think this is the best place for you to be lying while you come to terms with everything that's happened?
37:14Oh, how can I come to terms with it?
37:16I helped my dad put that boiler in.
37:19It's my fault, and I'm the one that's still here.
37:22It's not your fault.
37:24There are plenty of others you could blame.
37:25What about you?
37:27Eh? And you're cooking.
37:28Come on.
37:28Oh, you're both going through something that no-one should ever have to endure alone or separately.
37:37You'll face it better together.
37:44I can smell my dad's hair on this pillowcase.
37:47I can smell my dad's hair on this pillowcase.
37:48I can smell my dad's hair on this pillowcase.
37:49I can smell my dad's hair on this pillowcase.
37:50I can smell my dad's hair on this pillowcase.
37:51I can smell my dad's hair on this pillowcase.
37:52I can smell my dad's hair on this pillowcase.
37:53I can smell my dad's hair on this pillowcase.
37:54I can smell my dad's hair on this pillowcase.
37:55I can smell my dad's hair on this pillowcase.
37:56I can smell my dad's hair on this pillowcase.
37:57I can smell my dad's hair on this pillowcase.
37:58I can smell my dad's hair on this pillowcase.
37:59I can smell my dad's hair on this pillowcase.
38:00I can smell my dad's hair on this pillowcase.
38:01I can smell my dad's hair on this pillowcase.
38:02I can smell my dad's hair on this pillowcase.
38:17I think I need the doctor
38:28I could walk there
38:30I go for doctor
38:31You walk
38:36I walk with you
38:47Every single person touched by this case is in torment
38:51Can we not do something to at least get a preview of the details?
38:58Dr Turner's on the police surgeon roster
39:00He feels he can't ask for early access to the documents
39:04Because he's perceived to have a vested interest
39:07The baby's mother lying in street by fire stairs
39:11I think she'd die
39:13Oh no, no
39:15Dr Turner
39:17It's Ruth Kahn
39:25She delivered a few days ago
39:27She just opened her eyes
39:29Said something about seeing lights
39:31Her ankles are swollen
39:33Looks like postnatal preeclampsia
39:36Ambulance?
39:36She's on the brink of fitting
39:38We need bromothol now
39:42Can you fetch some?
39:44It's too late for 999
39:45I'll drive her there myself
39:47Now run
39:47It's alright Ruth
39:52I'm not going to leave you
39:55You need a hand with those?
40:00Yes
40:01And we wouldn't mind a bit of fridge space
40:04If you've got any to spare in your flat
40:06I'm sorry I lost my temper
40:09It was certainly a spectacle
40:12If you hadn't been shouting at me
40:14I would have quite enjoyed it
40:15And you're right
40:18It was a terrible marriage proposal
40:20Was it a marriage proposal?
40:26Yes
40:26Will you give me the chance to do a better one?
40:34This is better already
40:35But
40:37Why don't you take me away for the weekend?
40:41Discreetly
40:42And
40:43Ask me then
40:45You know your own mind, don't you?
40:48I'm a grown woman
40:49And a feminist
40:50And
40:51There are cathedral towns
40:53The length and breadth of England
40:54Mr. Parry is still with Ruth
41:04He says she stopped her from tipping over into full-blown acclampsia
41:08She hasn't had any seizures?
41:11None
41:12That would have been a very different story
41:15We don't always get to write the endings we choose in this profession
41:21But sometimes we do
41:24And sometimes there isn't an ending
41:27Most stories are the best
41:30I'm sorry for pushing you away Aisha
41:35A mother cannot be pushed away
41:38Ever
41:39A mother always at your shoulder
41:42And it is good
41:44I never knew that before
41:48I didn't know what to do with that kind of love
41:52But I do now
41:57Thank you
42:04For showing me
42:07It's all written down there in good plain English
42:14It's as thorough as it comes, Mrs. Barrowman
42:17And it states very clearly
42:19That it was the boiler that was faulty
42:21Not the way it was fitted
42:24It had a defective valve
42:27What happened was nothing to do with anyone who was there that night
42:32Or anyone here today
42:34Meanwhile, all the tins of meat have been recalled
42:41And the cash and carry will be prosecuted
42:44I'm sorry if I acted out of turn
42:48That's all right
42:50But I think if you did want to sue the boiler manufacturer
42:56There would be a case to answer
42:57Yeah
42:59We've got a family to say goodbye to
43:02And a life to build
43:04Haven't we, Len?
43:06It's Mrs. Russell, isn't it?
43:15What can I do for you?
43:16It's not for me, sister
43:18It's for one of me neighbours
43:20Well
43:21A sort of neighbour
43:23I reckon there's a baby on the way
43:26I can remember you sisters coming out at all glowers
43:32And in all weathers
43:34We still do
43:38Midwife calling
43:41I don't need a midwife
43:44My dear
43:45I'm afraid it seems very likely that you do
43:47I don't need a ruddy midwife
43:49What we'll do
44:00Is take a gentle look at you
44:02And then we'll decide what to do
44:04I don't know why you're saying we this
44:06Or we that
44:07Like we're friends or something
44:08Because we ain't friends
44:10Don't you talk to the sister like that
44:12And we ain't friends neither
44:14Mrs. Russell
44:17I don't see any means of heating water in here
44:22Would you return to your flat
44:26And boil a kettle for me?
44:31It's such a shame
44:32Sister Veronica missed the Eucharist
44:33But her point from Hong Kong
44:35Must have still been in the air
44:36And it's also a shame
44:38That your brother can't join us, Trixie
44:40He's become quite a fixture
44:42On high days and holidays
44:44Oh I know
44:45But he's gone to Lido de Jeslo
44:46With a friend from his national service days
44:48At least I get to rearrange some flowers
44:51In his absence
44:51This is the salt this is
44:57Lana
44:58The sense of pressure that you're feeling
45:00Is because your baby's head
45:01Is descending through your pelvis
45:03It's almost ready to be born
45:05Send for a bloody ambulance
45:07Lana
45:07It's too late
45:09How's things?
45:19Sorting through my dad's tools
45:20Seems the first step towards what he would have wanted
45:23Following in his footsteps
45:27And all that
45:28Me too
45:32Delivering insulin to a self-injecting diabetic
45:37This is a lead-dressing tool
45:41Yeah, there's so many years
45:44It's been worn to his grip
45:45It's old-fashioned
45:49But
45:49I'm going to keep it
45:51That sort of thing that is, doesn't it?
46:04Could you walk and ask a urine, Sal?
46:07Next time she feels like getting up
46:09She has been needing a lot of rest lately
46:13I do not require repose
46:16It is almost invariably forced upon me
46:20If you feel like it
46:24I can bring you a strawberry scone
46:25To nibble on later
46:26She's a pretty little thing
46:37I'm paying particular attention
46:43To her eyes
46:45As I bathe her
46:46In case there's any infection
46:48Are you saying I'm dirty?
46:49We take the same approach
46:51With every newborn
46:52I want to hold her
46:55Well, you've, um, finished your cigarette, perhaps
47:01I want
47:01To hold her
47:04Get your hands off my baby
47:18I didn't ask you to come here
47:20Get your hands off me
47:23Who asked you to come here
47:25In the first place?
47:26The mother was angry
47:50And she was distressed
47:52She wasn't unusual in that
47:54And she needed
47:57Every ounce of love I could show her
48:01She spat at you
48:02And she assaulted you
48:04And the only thing
48:07That stopped me
48:08Turning my back on her
48:10And running out of that
48:12Squalid room
48:13Was the fact that I was there
48:15As an act of
48:17Christian witness
48:20Did that give you courage?
48:26It gave me purpose
48:27And it gave me strength
48:29And it reminded me
48:30That we are missionaries
48:32Here in the East End
48:34And I'd rather go
48:37And be a missionary elsewhere
48:39Than be forced to pretend
48:41To be something we are not
48:43Sister
48:50Have you made your decision?
48:55Sister Julianne
48:56Sister Veronica
48:57Has arrived back from Hong Kong
48:59She's waiting in your office
49:00And insists she'll see
49:02No one but you
49:02I came back to Poplar
49:06Via the mother house
49:07I needed to confer
49:10With Mother Mildred
49:11Because I have been feeling
49:13Increasingly
49:14Unhappy
49:16I wasn't
49:19Unaware of it
49:20But our work is
49:22Not about
49:23Our happiness
49:25It is about
49:27It is about
49:28Seeking no reward
49:29Other than
49:31Knowing
49:32That we do
49:33His will
49:34If you are quoting
49:36St Ignatius of Loyola
49:37Then you are
49:38Omitting the bit about
49:40Giving
49:40And not counting the cost
49:42And I
49:43Can't
49:44Keep on giving
49:45And not counting
49:47The cost any longer
49:48But you must
49:49We must
49:50We must
49:52Sister
49:52It is what we do
49:54It is what I have done
49:56And done for too long
49:58I have
49:59Loved
50:01And
50:03Served
50:04And I have saved
50:06Other women's children
50:08For decades
50:08If anyone were mine
50:11Or
50:12Felt like mine
50:14For a day
50:16Or even an hour
50:18I had to hand it back
50:22And stand there
50:24Trying not to scream
50:27Because
50:28My arms were empty
50:30Why didn't you tell me this before
50:34Because I hoped
50:35I could bear it
50:37And I can't
50:38I've been given permission
51:03To go away
51:04For six weeks
51:06While I
51:09Decide
51:10If I want to
51:12Give up my vows
51:13And leave the order
51:14Oh then
51:19Alright
51:20I'm pulling you guys
51:21Let's get us
51:21Push
51:23Yeah that way
51:36Come in
51:46Come in
51:47I couldn't let you go
52:00Without coming to see you
52:02I've stood exactly
52:05Where you're standing now
52:06Well I hope you were standing
52:10In better shoes than these
52:11There are no lace-ups
52:14In the charity cupboard
52:15And I can only walk in lace-ups
52:17There is a knack
52:18To court shoes
52:19Please
52:25Don't put your arms around me
52:27I'm scared
52:30I might break apart
52:32Beryl
52:35Do you have somewhere to go?
52:40I've
52:41Been offered a room
52:42In a Christian retreat house
52:43Near Gravesend
52:44There are no other religious there
52:47And I'm assured
52:48No questions will be asked
52:50Let me find you
52:54A pair of tights
52:55You'll feel more
52:56Pulled together
52:57In a proper outfit
52:58You were right about
53:12Sister Monica Jones' oedema
53:13It points to kidney failure
53:16But tests will tell us more
53:19This was always going to come
53:24Wasn't it?
53:25In one form or other
53:28And when it does
53:30It's
53:32Going to feel like
53:33The ravens
53:34Leaving the Tower of London
53:36The end of the new world
53:40One could say that
53:43About so many things
53:44I'm telling the board
53:50That if the order
53:52Are not permitted to work
53:54In a missionary capacity
53:56We are leaving Poplar
53:59At the end of the year
54:01And that is final
54:04Do you know what you want sister?
54:20Apart from her baby
54:22To call my own
54:24No
54:26Sometimes I don't think
54:28Anyone knows anything really
54:30I'll walk with you
54:39As far as the post office
54:40This must go with the first post
54:44In the morning
54:45Some things bring joy
55:03Year after year
55:05Summer after summer
55:07They have delighted us before
55:10And they will again
55:11We trust the tides
55:14And the rhythm of the seasons
55:17The tilt of the sunflower's face
55:20Towards the sky
55:22When the wind blows
55:25A little colder
55:26Do we even notice it?
55:29Or if we do
55:31Do we think
55:32It will not be for long?
55:34Because one day
55:36It may blow cold
55:38Forever
55:38But not yet
55:40Not now
55:43While miracles
55:44Are ordinary
55:45And still within our reach
55:48She's about to have the baby
55:52We think
55:53I just keep getting
55:54Oh
55:55Here it comes again
55:56Hello Harmony
55:57I'm a nurse
55:57I'm sorry you've been hurt
55:59There is no reason
56:00To treat me
56:01As an invalid
56:03I'm a star streaming Poplar
56:04Guarantee
56:04And if I win
56:05You'll get that bike
56:06One would hope
56:07They were above such pettiness
56:09When there is so much at stake
56:11No adults
56:16No rules
56:16On a tropical island
56:18A group of boys
56:18Must fend for themselves
56:19In Lord of the Flies
56:21Next
56:21And to another island
56:23Equally dangerous
56:24There's another mysterious murder
56:26Brand new death in paradise
