00:36By the time I'd been in Poplar for a year
00:39I'd begun to see myself as rather bold.
00:43Coming to examine me?
00:45Dengalys did not frighten me, and neither did their occupants.
00:49But did I really take risks?
00:51Did I really look beyond the surface, to the darker things beneath?
00:58My uniform was my armour,
01:00and there was much about the East End that I did not need to know.
01:05Much about life I had yet to encounter.
01:09It was a safe bet that surprises me in a store.
01:14Teddy, boys. What a state.
01:16I know women that spend less time on their hair than they do.
01:19You're just jealous, Fred.
01:20No, I ain't.
01:21Men are supposed to be men,
01:23not wasting all their money on brule green fancy waistcoats.
01:26So, you'll go.
01:29Ruby ready to drop?
01:31She is.
01:32I'll have my handsome son by the end of the month.
01:35Oh.
01:37Turned into one of those clairvoyants, have you, Dougie?
01:40She's given me two girls.
01:41It's time for a boy.
01:42What's the odds?
01:43Dead set.
01:45I'll give you three to one against.
01:47Well, I'll have a few bob on that.
01:48All right.
01:50Gin.
01:51All boys.
01:53Yes.
02:02Could you ask him?
02:08Timothy?
02:09What happened?
02:10He was spinning around at playtime.
02:13And school let you leave?
02:14Right.
02:15Somebody should have come with you.
02:16I told him I knew how to get here.
02:18You're always at work.
02:20What if I was away on a call?
02:21Is everything all right, Doctor?
02:23They just sent him here.
02:24Why can't they deal with that at school?
02:26It's only a graze.
02:28Let me see here.
02:31Well, I think we're definitely going to need a bandage.
02:33We should clean it first, though.
02:37Will you be all right with Sister Bernadette
02:38while I finish seeing to my patient?
02:41You're very kind, Sister.
02:42Let's get you sat down and we'll have that fixed up in a jiffy.
02:49Afternoon, Jane.
02:55Looking forward to tonight, Nurse Lee.
02:57Oh, yes.
02:58It's York since I've been to a fair.
03:00What about you, Jane?
03:00Are you excited?
03:02Yes.
03:04We can tell.
03:08They were filthy, the poor loves.
03:09They look like bleeding chimney sweeps.
03:13All right, Roots?
03:15Oh, hello, Joyce.
03:16How are you today?
03:17I'm quite well.
03:18How are you today?
03:20Ain't nothing wrong with trying to better oneself.
03:22Ain't nothing wrong with being what you are, neither.
03:25Huh.
03:26My husband has been promoted to supervisor.
03:29Youngest ever, they say.
03:32You live on the same street as me.
03:34Your roof leaks as badly as mine.
03:36And your backside doesn't smell of roses, does it?
03:40Quite right.
03:42It smells of lavender.
03:43And I'm very sorry to hear about your roof.
03:46We can recommend a good man.
03:56Good evening.
03:57It is indeed.
03:58And you must be Sister Julianne?
04:01I am.
04:02And you are...
04:05The Reverend Appleby Thornton.
04:07Indeed.
04:08Um, Nurse Nook sent us a letter.
04:11Oh, wonderful.
04:13Wonderful.
04:14Now, um, I don't wish to be a burden on you.
04:16I simply couldn't take advantage of your hospitality without giving something back.
04:20Now, I would like to offer chaplaincy to your patients.
04:23We're very happy to shelter you until your new parish...
04:26Well, Trummy spoke so fondly about everybody here.
04:29What a wonderfully vibrant woman she is.
04:32The tribespeople were thoroughly fascinated on her arrival, you know.
04:35I don't think they'd seen anything quite like her.
04:37You know, they refer to her as Boku Uman, which translates as a lot of woman.
04:44One of the younger men challenged her to a wrestle.
04:46And that fine fellow, Nook, sir, he stepped in.
04:48I don't think he's quite recovered since.
04:50Reverend.
04:51A friend of Nurse Nook's is a friend of Nonata's house.
04:54I believe your parish lodgings will not be ready for some time.
04:58You're welcome for as long as it takes.
05:00Would you care for something to eat before I show you into your room?
05:03Oh, very kind.
05:05I have been regaled with tales of Mrs. B's prowess in the kitchen.
05:10I dare say that the language barrier will be less of a problem with the cockiness,
05:14although I believe this rhyming slang...
05:24How drunk are you, then?
05:27Oh, not as bad as Christmas.
05:31You been gambling?
05:33Gambling?
05:33Ruby, my love.
05:34I'm a reformed character.
05:36Yeah.
05:37I'm saving up to get us out of this pit.
05:40Then why can I hear the jangling of coins whenever you move?
05:47It ain't gambling if you know you're going to win.
05:52You are a bad man.
06:03How's my boy doing in there?
06:05He's tip-top.
06:06Not much of a mover, unlike the other two.
06:10He's a cool dude, like that James Dean.
06:13No need for carrying on, is there, boy?
06:15You take it easy in there.
06:18I was a lucky girl to land you, Dougie.
06:26It was a movie kiss through the wire fence.
06:28Then he went to his plane, a cheeky wink, and he was off.
06:32Jenny's time.
06:34We were playing sardines.
06:36There were six of us squashed into a wardrobe.
06:40Someone kissed me, and to this day, I don't know who he was.
06:43Well, I do hope I'm not entirely surrounded by harlots.
06:47Cynthia.
06:48Well, I knew his name, at least, but it was nothing like a movie kiss.
06:52I was eight.
06:53Cynthia.
06:54I will never look on you with the same eyes again.
06:56Don't be silly.
06:57Oh, dear Jane.
06:59You must think us silly girls to be excited about first kisses.
07:02Not at all.
07:03I know.
07:05Let's name the goldfish after your first kiss.
07:07That's a wonderful idea.
07:09Yes, spill the beans, Jane.
07:10What's our goldfish called?
07:11No, I...
07:12Well, it doesn't matter how silly the name is.
07:14We'll go with it.
07:18Well, I'm afraid this goldfish shall be nameless, then.
07:56Do you think she's all right, sister?
07:58Jane is a quiet soul, and not one for displaying her emotions.
08:03It's hard to tell.
08:04But to have lived her life without so much as a kiss.
08:07You're speaking to a nun, Trixie.
08:09Oh, yes.
08:10I'm sorry.
08:11I sympathize.
08:12I really do.
08:14But as Jane is practically silent around her colleagues, the ability to speak to men is
08:18probably beyond her.
08:21Where did Sister Julian find her?
08:23That wouldn't be for me to say.
08:26Good morning, all.
08:28Ah, we have a fuller compliment.
08:31Couché-oh.
08:33Which means hello.
08:37Hello.
08:51And it is my belief that Nurse Noakes' calling came from her humanity as much as it did the
08:58Lord God Almighty.
08:59Ah, humanity in this lovely bread.
09:04We had nothing this fine in Sierra Leone, although they do have cassava leaf plazas,
09:10which is Chami's favours.
09:12I'll tell you how we make them.
09:14It's fascinating.
09:15I'll get it.
09:25She's about to pop.
09:26She's screaming in the house, Dan.
09:28Told me to bring the midwife straight away.
09:29Phone's buggered.
09:30I've broken.
09:30I'll fetch my things.
09:32Not so fast.
09:33Hello, Douglas.
09:34Sister.
09:35I did both of Ruby's gills and they were beauties.
09:37But I'm first on call, sister.
09:39Then you can assist.
09:40She said to try and get Sister Evangelina if you can.
09:43She delivers them best.
09:48Mrs. Roberts, sister.
09:50Godspeed.
09:53So, Sister Julian, which of your charges shall I accompany?
09:58I promise they will receive exclusive stories and recompense.
10:06You should accompany me on your first day, Reverend.
10:09Start at the bottom and work your way up.
10:22They're here.
10:26I'll put some more hot water on them.
10:28Good lad.
10:29Hello there, Ruby.
10:31Here we are again.
10:32Sister, I feel terrible.
10:34Look at the state of me.
10:35Not a beauty contest.
10:37Come on.
10:38How are you doing?
10:39Mrs. Nurse Lee.
10:41Hello, Mrs. Roberts.
10:42This one hurts like hell.
10:43Oh.
10:44No offence, sir.
10:45No.
10:46None taken.
10:47Here you go on the edge.
10:49That's it.
10:50They say you forget with time how much it did hurt.
10:53Oh.
10:54All right.
10:55Oh.
10:56There.
10:58Oh.
11:00Oh.
11:01Oh.
11:01That's it.
11:02Oh.
11:03Oh.
11:04Oh.
11:06Oh.
11:07Oh.
11:07He's early, isn't he?
11:09When was the last pain?
11:11Just before you got here.
11:13Hmm.
11:14Hmm.
11:15Hmm.
11:20Heartbeat strong?
11:22I feel scared, Sister.
11:25Yeah.
11:26It'll be over soon.
11:28I'll make you used to say, you've had your sweets, now take your sours.
11:32Oh.
11:33Hmm.
11:34All right.
11:35Hmm.
11:36We'll turn her on her side to have a look after this.
11:39All right.
11:41Keep breathing.
11:42Keep breathing.
11:44That's the girl.
11:45It's all right, Ruby.
11:47Good girl.
11:48Oh.
12:09I told you it hurt more.
12:11No-one's doubting that now.
12:13Baby's crowning.
12:14Looks a big one.
12:15They said I was on the small side.
12:17They can't see what I can.
12:19Nearly there, Ruby.
12:20If Sister can see Baby, we're not far away.
12:22It hurts.
12:23Not long now.
12:26Oh.
12:28It'll be as beautiful as it, Sister's.
12:30Now, on the next one, I want you to give us a really big push, Ruby.
12:35Yeah.
12:35I'll buy him a blue bonnet.
12:37Baby blue.
12:38Yeah.
12:38Yeah.
12:39Put little duckies on it.
12:40Lovely.
12:43Good girl.
12:44Keep going.
12:44Keep going.
12:45Good girl.
12:46Really big push.
12:46Good girl.
12:47Keep going.
12:48That's really good.
12:49Good girl.
12:50Yes.
12:50Come on.
12:51The head's nearly out.
12:52We're nearly there now.
12:53Wait.
12:54Stop pushing.
12:55Short breaths.
12:58When the next contraction comes, I want you to push really hard, all right?
13:06Good girl.
13:07That's it.
13:08Really big push, Ruby.
13:11Easy, yes.
13:13Easy, yes.
13:14Oh.
13:31Ciao.
13:33Nurse.
13:35Oh.
13:36Oh.
13:37Oh.
13:38Oh.
13:39Oh.
13:39Oh.
13:40See to Mother, Nurse Lee.
13:57Thank God.
13:58Oh, thank God for that.
14:10Sister, let's have some gauze soaked in boiled water.
14:18Lee, damp gauze.
14:26He's a boy.
14:32Hey, hey. Daddy's here.
14:35He's a boy, Douglas.
14:37Course he is. I never doubted it.
14:38We haven't quite finished in here yet.
14:39I brought us a drink.
14:40No-one in here yet, please, Douglas.
14:42Oh, he's all right. I want him here.
14:43I'm sorry, Mr Roberts. I must insist, the afterbirth hasn't been delivered yet.
14:46The what? Please, Mr Roberts.
14:50He's seen worse after ten years of marriage.
14:55Let's get you neat and tidy first.
15:00I love that sound.
15:09I love that sound.
15:10I love that sound.
15:16I love that sound.
15:18I love that sound.
15:19I love that sound.
15:21You're sounds a successfully delivered, sister.
15:23That's good.
15:25All done?
15:27Yes.
15:28All done.
15:34Can I get you a glass of water, Ruby?
15:37What's wrong?
15:40What's wrong?
15:43Nurse Lee, would you ring for the doctor now, please?
15:49What's wrong?
15:51Sister Evangelina, what's wrong with him?
15:53You tell me what's going on right now.
15:56What is it?
15:59Baby's had some complications, Ruby.
16:03There's a problem with his back.
16:07And so I wrapped all fruit in brown paper and used goat's wool as a beard.
16:14And hey, presto, Christmas sincerely.
16:16Of course, the nativity is no real surprise to the tribespeople.
16:20A child born in the stable seemed perfectly reasonable.
16:23I should.
16:24Oh, yes, absolutely.
16:38I don't believe I've had the pleasure.
16:42The Reverend Appleby Thornton.
16:45Jane.
16:46I'm sorry if I startled you.
16:48Oh, my dear.
16:49Oh, no, your fish isn't that hungry.
16:51No, he must rescue the poor fellow before he eats himself to death like a Roman emperor.
16:58Oh, no, no, the scales are too delicate to touch.
17:01You must scoop him out gently.
17:09Absolutely ideal.
17:12Piles of essence.
17:17Yes, thank you.
17:28And now we need to change the water in the bowl.
17:48Now, let's put a tad more warm in there.
17:50Needs to be room temperature so the little one doesn't die of shock.
17:57In Sierra Leone, you know, they had sharks in the river.
18:00Huge beasts.
18:02Apparently, I was unfortunate never to see one.
18:05Right.
18:08Perfect.
18:13Apologies.
18:14Ready when you are.
18:15Yes.
18:16Yes.
18:36It's hydrocephalus.
18:38Water on the brain caused by the break in the spinal cord.
18:42That's what spina bifida means.
18:44It's, uh, Latin for a minute.
18:50We are taking him to the London Hospital.
18:53The medical advancements in treating this condition have come on in leaps and bounds over the past few years.
18:58The surgeons are second to none.
19:01Your son will receive the best treatment in the world, Mr. Roberts.
19:06See to your ladies.
19:08We'll take great care of your son.
19:34You're very lucky.
19:36My daughter, she's very lucky.
19:38I will never make the best you.
19:39No, I want to see you.
19:40Oh, I found mine
19:47The heavenly touch of your embrace
19:50Tells me no one could take your place
19:52Never in my heart
20:01Young love, first love
20:06Filled with true devotion
20:15Young love, first love, first love
20:19We share with thee
20:27What do you think, sir?
20:33Mr. Roberts?
20:37Mr. Roberts, one of the girls let me in
20:43I'm told baby's doing well
20:46He should be ready to come home from the hospital tomorrow
20:52How is Mrs. Roberts?
20:56See for yourself
21:05Mrs. Roberts?
21:07Nurse Lee
21:08You call me red-handed
21:12You're out of bed
21:13Doesn't do no harm to look good, does it?
21:16It's the spirit, sir, they say
21:19I suppose
21:21Can't wallow forever
21:22Things to do
21:26I was just telling your husband
21:28Baby's doing well
21:29He should be back from...
21:31Wonderful news
21:32We'll soon have him back then
21:34That's wonderful
21:43She took it badly at first
21:44But now she seems in very good spirits
21:46I remember my first spina bifida birth
21:50It looked like a huge dollop of raspberry jam on baby's back
21:58Of course, back then
22:00The humane cause for treatment was considered to be chloral hydrate
22:05Let the child pass peacefully
22:07No
22:09That was when there was little that could be done
22:11And it was considered a kindness
22:13There is much more to be done now
22:15But the child will, more often than not, have no bowel control
22:18Will have renal complications in a drastically reduced lifespan
22:22And for the rest of that short life it will be confined to a wheelchair
22:25Life is never without hope, sister
22:27I know it won't be easy for the parents
22:29But I'm sure they're capable of coping
22:31The mothers don't listen, do they?
22:33They're told again and again to avoid green potatoes
22:38Green potatoes no more cause spina bifida
22:41As the moon is made of cheese, sister Monica Joan
22:43I read recently it is considered now to be a myth
22:46Although the actual cause is still unknown
22:50Therefore, the moon may yet be edible
22:54Good evening, one and all
22:56What a remarkable constitutional
22:59A balmy evening by the...
23:01Reverend
23:01Oh, thanks
23:03I have important administration to take care of tomorrow
23:07So would you be happy to accompany one of our nurses?
23:11I'm sure any one of them would be pleased to have your assistance
23:16I thoroughly enjoyed working with all your charges, sister
23:19I couldn't possibly decide
23:21Jane
23:25I mean, I believe Jane has rounds in the morning
23:29And would benefit from an extra pair of hands
23:32Jane?
23:37That would be delightful
23:39I look forward to it
23:41Shall we eat?
23:46Thank you
23:46The character's yours as well?
23:48Yes, the character

37:45Is that yours?
37:46Yeah, I will.
37:47Can you move it?
37:48Whatever it is.
37:50Yeah!
37:51Put that in the way.
37:53Right.
37:53Wait a second.
37:54Bye.
37:56Bye.
37:56My go.
37:57My go.
38:04Thought you were Douglas.
38:06It's not like him to not be back by now.
38:12Walk with us, Ruby.
38:16I'm not up to it, Nurse.
38:19Please.
38:21I'm trying.
38:23I really am.
38:24What with Douglas behaving the way he is,
38:26I'm just beside myself with worry.
38:38I can't do this forever, Ruby.
38:41You have to make headway.
38:45Just a little for now.
38:47No.
38:51All I'm asking is that you walk with us.
38:58Please.
39:18I do believe you may have left your baby outside, Ruby dear.
39:22Not that anyone would want to steal a cripple.
39:24Get away.
39:25Wondered why we hadn't seen you for a while.
39:27Come on, Mrs Roberts.
39:28We must dash.
39:29Oh.
39:29She's got her own nurse as well.
39:33My turn.
39:34Not so high and mighty now, is she?
39:36Yes.
39:37schon.
39:40It's wild.
39:55I'm close.
39:58I'm sorry.
40:02I haven't seen you fucking exciting.
40:16Ladies, I know women who spend less time on their hair than you lots.
40:20Now get out of my way.
40:22Oi, crunk idiot.
40:30Leave him, leave him.
40:32Unless you all must have been tried for murder.
40:35Now, now, sober him up a bit.
40:39Come on, leave him.
40:40Oh, you poor man.
40:43They were like wild animals.
40:45He's my flesh and blood.
40:47She's turned her back on my flesh and blood.
40:49I believe the alcohol may work as an anaesthetic in this situation.
40:53It's a small blessing.
40:54Come on, I'll be here.
40:55Come on.
41:08Come on.
41:12Come on.
41:32I don't know.
41:55It's hot.
42:08I ain't bothered what people think.
42:11Especially not Joyce.
42:14That isn't it, nurse.
42:16I don't want you thinking that it is.
42:25Then what is it?
42:35If I hold him, I think I might die with a sadness.
42:49I'm sure it'll get easier.
42:55Try to eat something.
43:06Why did they save him?
43:11Doctor said he'd be lucky to see his 16th and he'd need all sorts of looking after till then.
43:16So, why did they save him?
43:23Life is never without hope.
43:39This is wonderful news. Your parish must be eager to meet you.
43:43Absolutely, yes. It's a blessing that the building was completed so quickly.
43:50Nurse Lee, if this is how you are before work, I'd be interested to see what state you return in.
43:57Sorry, sister. Didn't sleep too well.
44:00May God give you strength.
44:04Don't have to put you off having children, eh?
44:07Working nights too.
44:09Hope the Roberts pay well.
44:11It's just until the parents come round.
44:14How's that little miracle gonna happen?
44:16Hm?
44:17And how, pray tell, is you doing everything for the child, helping the parents?
44:24Appeasing your own guilt, are you?
44:28I have no idea what you mean.
44:32I saw your face when that child was born.
44:37You were distraught, Nurse Lee, as every midwife has been before you.
44:42God help us, we're only human.
44:45But your guilt will not help the mother to bond.
44:51What will?
44:54If I knew the answer to that, St Gideon's would be empty.
45:01Sometimes, you have to admit defeat.
45:03And let the world turn as it must.
45:22I'm dead.
45:25It's not a right.
45:26I'm dead.
45:42It's not a right.
45:43I'm dead.
45:47But I can't move the cat.
45:47I'm dead.
45:50I can't move.
45:51I can't move.
45:51I can't move.
45:54Mrs. Roberts?
46:02What?
46:04We're here now.
46:06I can't.
46:08We're keeping him then.
46:11Douglas, don't.
46:17It's like a train.
46:20When I say I can't,
46:21I can't.
46:26Wait here.
46:33It's just me then.
46:48Can you see the baby?
46:52Hello again, Jacob.
46:54Hello.
46:55She's waiting for you.
46:59Did you have a fight with King Kong?
47:03What did he say?
47:05Say it again, please, Jacob.
47:08Did you have a fight with King Kong?
47:11Mmm.
47:13Oh, no, man.
47:15Just half a dozen little monkeys.
47:42It was in the silences at the dinner table
47:45that I felt my parents' hatred for each other.
47:50So I grew accustomed to filling them.
47:54I know it can be difficult to bear.
47:58At boarding school, I was often without company.
48:04I talk so that I won't know what the silence holds.
48:17Erm...
48:21I...
48:25No matter.
48:33I don't know what the silence holds.
48:46Sister, I didn't see you in service yesterday or today.
48:50I've been keeping up with my offices whilst on duty, sister.
48:53Excellent.
48:54Dr Turner came by. He dropped this off.
48:56He says his sincerest apologies for being so absent-minded.
49:01He's been carrying it around for weeks now.
49:06It's charming.
49:18We would ask that the parents visit as often as possible.
49:21The bonds needn't be broken just because the baby's at St Gideon's.
49:33Mr Roberts, did you hear?
49:36What happened to him?
49:39He was born that way.
49:43Why?
49:44It happens.
49:46Approximately one in a thousand babies are born like Jacob there.
49:50Or like your child.
49:52A thousand to one.
49:52Should have had money on it.
49:58Thank you, Martin.
50:00And Jacob.
50:06It's not poisoned.
50:14What's it like here?
50:17There's a biscuit factory next door.
50:21Nice.
50:23We get the broken ones.
50:36I need to talk to my wife.
50:41My apologies, Mr Roberts.
50:44I know my Ruby nurse.
50:45And I like a gamble.
50:50Right.
50:52We'll get back and pack its things.
50:54What?
50:56The lady says she can take it.
50:58They're pushed and they can squeeze it in.
51:01It's good here.
51:02It's a biscuit factory a few doors down.
51:13It's good here.
51:16It's a biscuit factory a few doors down.
51:18I can't imagine.
51:20I can't imagine.
51:23I can't imagine.
51:25I can't see any other drinks.
51:25Any time you want me.
51:27There you go, Sam.
51:29Never mind.
51:31Oh yeah.
