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