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