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

51:35my arms
51:37were empty
51:37why didn't
51:40you tell
51:41me this

52:10permission to go
