00:00We did not come to Earth to live our lives alone.
00:05We all need each other from the moment we are born.
00:09Our hearts beat side by side by side,
00:13in tandem with the ticking of the clock we all must follow.
00:19Life, love, work, hand in hand in hand.
00:25This is the rhythm of the world.
00:29And if we are to thrive, we must dance to it together.
00:33If we are forced to dance alone, we may stumble and then fall.
00:39Is this the mother and baby clinic?
00:42It is indeed.
00:43However, I'm afraid I'm unable to admit you
00:45until the badminton club have departed
00:47and the hall has been thoroughly aired.
00:50Many apologies.
00:52It's all right.
00:54I'll sit on my suitcase.
00:59And your address, Miss Brewer?
01:12I know it's Cook Street, but...
01:14What's taking so long?
01:15Mrs Rountree, we are going as fast as we can.
01:17Well, go faster.
01:19Sally needs her booster and I've got places to be.
01:22I don't know if it's 23 or 23A.
01:2523 will suffice for the present.
01:27And the name of your previous GP?
01:30It was Dr Malone.
01:32I shall request your records.
01:35Baby's kicking away, Mrs Vermeer.
01:41Mrs Vermeer.
01:42It's non-stop.
01:44My husband and I are from neighbouring villages in Cyprus,
01:48but I am Greek and he is Turkish.
01:50It does sound an exceptionally difficult situation.
01:53There has been so much violence.
01:56So much hate.
01:58Well, I am delighted to say
02:00that everything's looking ship-shaped with baby's position.
02:03Are you uncomfortable, lass?
02:06It's just an itch.
02:08I have had to wear a pad.
02:10Well, let's take a look, shall we?
02:12See what's what.
02:20You always work wonders, Mrs Wallis.
02:23We have to have you looking sharp
02:26for your last few weeks in office.
02:28Wish it was a few weeks.
02:29It's only 16 days.
02:31I've got so much to do.
02:32Oh, that reminds me.
02:33Palmers of Poplar have signed up for the flower festival.
02:37I shall add them to my list.
02:39Is there anyone helping you prepare for the baby
02:41or when the baby arrives?
02:43She just does, nurse.
02:45And it's your first pregnancy.
02:46Is that right, Arlene?
02:49I've read all about it.
02:51Eating all my greens, drinking lots of water
02:54and jotting down when the baby moves a lot
02:57and when it's still.
02:58That sounds fabulously organised.
02:59Planning on a home or a hospital bath?
03:01It's all been planned for me.
03:03I've been told I've got to have it at St Cuthbert's.
03:05By whom?
03:07And why?
03:09My doctor.
03:10I've got an appointment there tomorrow.
03:16Nearly done now.
03:18I suspect that you have a dose of thrush.
03:21It's very common, but it's not very comfortable.
03:24Nurse Craig, if we could send these swabs off as soon as possible.
03:27Of course, Doctor.
03:33Crumbs!
03:34That should be Monday, not Tuesday.
03:38I've signed up for a few extra evenings at the homeless shelter.
03:41Oof!
03:42You're in for a busy few weeks.
03:44With this volunteering and your nursing duties,
03:46you'll be working around the clock.
03:48That's what coffee was designed for.
03:49Mmm!
03:50Every night, I would wait for you to sing that song outside my window.
04:07And every night you did.
04:09I wanted you to know.
04:15I was thinking about you.
04:18Even when we're being kept apart.
04:21The baby is falling asleep.
04:26He loves it too.
04:28He loves it too.
04:38Morning, Miss Higgins.
04:39You've just received Arlene Brewer's medical file,
04:42along with an accompanying letter.
04:44From her doctor?
04:45From her psychiatrist.
04:47It appears Arlene's just been released from the Lynchmere Psychiatric Hospital.
04:51She said nothing about that at all.
04:55Higher.
04:56No, not so high.
04:58Bring it down a couple of inches.
05:02I said a couple, not six.
05:06No-one's going to notice.
05:08This event has to be special.
05:10It's for all the people of Poplar.
05:12It's also the last thing that I'm doing as mayor,
05:14so it needs to be perfect.
05:17Up another couple of inches, then.
05:19We've never had an expectant mother straight from the Lynchmere before.
05:30I can't believe they didn't inform us earlier.
05:32Then at least we could have been ready for her.
05:34Arlene Brewer's medical record showed that she was at the Lynchmere for four months.
05:39They diagnosed her with manic depression after she was found agitated and delusional
05:45and convinced that she was talking to what the notes describe as a dead relative.
05:52She then sank into a deep depression.
05:54She was guarded in clinic, but she didn't seem unwell.
05:58She's on a new drug called lithium.
06:00It seems to have stabilised her.
06:02Is that why she's having the baby at St Cuthbert's?
06:04Because they're concerned about the side effects?
06:06There is a great deal of interest in kidney function and blood counts,
06:09but I would say a lot less interest in her mental state.
06:13You need to be careful. You're a big sister now.
06:26Oh, you're very lucky. Being a sister is the best thing in the world.
06:30I'm still learning to live without mine.
06:47That's poor little Zeta Demir added to my rounds.
06:51The swab results are in, thrush as we suspected, and she's got gonorrhea.
07:01Gonorrhea?
07:03That's bad enough at the best of times.
07:06In a pregnant mother, do these men never think?
07:10You'd wonder, wouldn't you?
07:12Make your way here at the first signs of labour.
07:16After the birth, both you and the baby will be kept under observation for two weeks.
07:21Our midwives will help with the bottle routine.
07:24I was planning to breastfeed. Will they teach me that?
07:28No. Baby could become very unwell if the lithium makes its way into your milk.
07:33Lithium? It's dangerous to the baby.
07:36Well, we don't yet know, and we won't take risks.
07:39Next. Name?
07:47Eric Wilson, sister. I may need to see you in private.
07:51Whatever for, that is a beautiful scab.
07:54When I go, it's like I'm being glass.
08:00Take a seat at the back. I will see you shortly.
08:05What is gonorrhea?
08:07It is a type of venereal disease, which means it is passed on through sexual intercourse.
08:13But I have only ever had sexual intercourse with my husband.
08:17If that's the case, we have to assume that he has picked it up from someone else.
08:23But there has never been someone else.
08:25Well, there are questions to be asked, lass.
08:29And conversations to be had.
08:31But for now, we need to concentrate on treating you.
08:35For baby's sake.
08:37We need to have the baby.
08:38There is a possibility, albeit small, that the infection could be passed to baby's eyes during birth.
08:45But we're going to start antibiotic injections straight away and book you into the maternity home for your delivery.
08:52Just to be on the safe side.
08:54I hope I haven't hurt you already.
09:22There's never been anyone else.
09:28Then how did you catch it? The nurse said...
09:31The nurse knows nothing. You know that. We're together all the time.
09:36We are now. You were alone in London for three months before I arrived. What about then?
09:44There is no one else. I swear. I swear on my life. Alright? Now let's leave it!
09:51We need this swab to confirm it. But I would put good money on this being gonorrhea.
10:03Is that the same as syphilis? No. But it is a venereal disease.
10:08And it's spread in the same way. Through sex. You know lad, sometimes when you get lucky, you get unlucky. We can sort it out.
10:17You think you want to tell anyone about this? Your parents?
10:21Oh, I'm in enough pain already.
10:29Arlene! I didn't know you were an artist.
10:32I'm not. I've just always drawn and painted since I was a kid. Me and my sister were always colouring some ink in.
10:38Arlene, I'm here to follow up on some notes we've been sent by the lynchmere.
10:45I should have told you I was in the loony bin, shouldn't I?
10:48You're a mother-to-be. And I'm your midwife. The more you tell me, the more I can help you.
10:54I wanted a fresh start. I wanted people to look at me like I was normal.
10:59Well, if I ever do anything other than that, I hope you'll correct me.
11:03Lots of mothers bottle feed. And lots of mothers bring up babies on their own.
11:08And I'm here to help with all of that.
11:10Will you go through my list with me?
11:13I keep writing things down to help me keep track. And then I lose track.
11:17Don't we all?
11:19Now, before we move on to more general matters, I brought you some milk of magnesia and peppermint cordial to try.
11:24I've been reading up on lithium, and it seems it can cause nausea and stomach upsets.
11:27Will these hurt the baby?
11:30Not at all. And they may do you some good, which is important.
11:40I had to bring him in. He practically made himself a jockstrap out of toilet paper trying to deal with a discharge.
11:47The boy's only 16 years old.
11:49If he was 15, we'd have to tell his mother.
11:52Either way, he's got a rip-roaring dose that wouldn't look out of place in an army sick parade.
11:55And the trouble is, he's not the only one.
11:58Our case is on the rise again.
12:00Yes, they are. And I don't know why.
12:05The church will be open for three days before the flower festival for the arrangements to be dropped off.
12:11Please ensure that you inform Mayor Buckle when you do so.
12:14All of Poplar's most important organisations are contributing.
12:19Well, sorry, but I have to disagree.
12:23No one's asked the homeless shelter for an arrangement.
12:26That does indeed sound like an oversight.
12:31Surely all of Poplar should be represented.
12:33I'm sure we can find space in the church for one more arrangement.
12:40Can I take a flyer? I'm heading there now.
12:45You'll be pleased to hear that the Nonatus flowers will have pride of place on the altar.
12:50I'm afraid our arrangement shall be quite modest.
12:55We're all very busy with patience.
12:58Not everyone.
13:00This is not merely a flower arrangement, but a reflection of ourselves and our place in the community.
13:07I offer my services.
13:24Good evening, sir.
13:26I was worried I'd missed out.
13:28Not at all. There's plenty of soup.
13:31You do have the last bread roll.
13:33Bread always fills the belly better than any soup.
13:39It's not enough to just feed people, is it?
13:43They need to be included.
13:46Yes, they do.
13:48Do you think there's a way of involving them in community life more?
13:54I mean, by giving them the chance to take part in ordinary things?
13:58Not everyone would want to.
14:00But some might.
14:01What did you have in mind?
14:03There's the flower festival for a start.
14:05Flower festival?
14:06Just about every local organization and group is submitting an arrangement.
14:10I don't think the shelter's even been asked.
14:13You're right. They haven't.
14:15These men are a group. They might want to do it.
14:17You want the trick of a point?
14:20Gentlemen, this isn't the place!
14:22Do you like Mrs. Roberts? Stop this now!
14:24I said now!
14:25Have you got a minute?
14:26I thought we could plan for our mother craft class next week.
14:29Of course, sorry. I just got caught up doing some research.
14:32Psychiatric disorders?
14:33I was hoping there might be something in here on treating mothers with manic depression, but there's virtually nothing.
14:47Poor Arlene's just been left to completely fend for herself. No wonder she feels so anxious.
14:51Would you like to come to the mother craft class? At the very least, show her for the salon.
14:58I thought you and Douglas were friends.
15:04Friends don't mean the same when you're homeless.
15:07We understand each other, but we mainly just look out for ourselves.
15:11I think most people mainly look out for themselves.
15:18All's the pity, eh?
15:21Yes.
15:23I used to work in Harrods.
15:26Harrods?
15:28Window dresser.
15:30And I'm telling you, I saw more cat fighting in that line of work than I've ever seen living on the streets.
15:35What happened, Dad?
15:42A wife happened.
15:46A child happened.
15:50A housewife happened.
15:52I lost them both.
15:56I wish that hadn't happened to you.
16:00And to them.
16:02And I wish I could think of something else to say other than I'm sorry.
16:09I went to the shop and got a few more bread rolls.
16:12That soup will be cold now.
16:14There can't be any more fighting, Ted.
16:16If you keep breaking the rules, the superintendent may say you can't be admitted.
16:32The Gracious Sister, what is this?
16:38The chapel flowers.
16:40I am conducting a study on composition, configuration and proportion.
16:49Sister Monica Joan, Constance Spry used to say one should arrange flowers as the spirit moves one.
16:54She must be a profoundly indisciplined person.
16:58There is science in this.
17:01And probably mathematics.
17:04Anyone with undiagnosed or undetected gonorrhea is not going to just tip up at the surgery and declare themselves.
17:17And that is why we are going to try the latest tracing system.
17:21They tried this already in Stepney.
17:23Results were very mixed.
17:25As the three official tracers, we are going to speak to every gonorrhea patient of whom we are aware and try to find out from whom they and to whom they may have passed it on.
17:36That would involve extremely intimate interviews.
17:38We then locate any identified contacts and encourage them to come in for testing and treatment.
17:45Whilst blowing up families hither and yon.
17:48Potentially.
17:50But we can't ignore a major medical concern.
17:53Intimate interviews or not.
18:08These flowers are giving me the runaround and refusing to bloom.
18:15Well, if this don't work, I'm going to put you in a bucket of water.
18:20As you are undertaking your own arrangement, how do you select one flower over another?
18:26Well, I wanted this arrangement to be a sort of tribute to the end of Viya's year of being mayor.
18:31So it's all going to be red to match her robe.
18:34When I typed out the names and addresses of all our current gonorrhea patients, I divided them into separate groups.
18:44Oh, whilst I have furnished clipboards to aid efficiency and also provided copies of London's A to Z.
18:52Oh.
18:59One sterilised feeding bottle. Perfect.
19:02Oh, I'm sorry.
19:06I'm just tired.
19:08I barely got a wink of sleep last night.
19:11I wonder if you might be better off spending some of your maternity allowance on plastic bottles and some Milton fluid.
19:17It's a much simpler system.
19:19What do normal mothers do?
19:21Harleen, you are a normal mother.
19:23Well, I have a normal baby.
19:25There is no reason why your baby isn't going to be as fit and well and healthy as everyone else's.
19:32Things run in families, don't they?
19:34My sister was a sickly child.
19:38When she grew up, she died of cancer.
19:41And I was all right until I lost her.
19:45And then I wasn't all right at all.
19:48What was your sister's name, Harleen?
19:52Stella.
19:54That's beautiful.
19:55Stella was beautiful.
19:57When she comes to me in my dreams, she's like an angel.
20:00That's why I hate it when I can't sleep.
20:02We can give you a prescription to help with that.
20:05We need you to be well rested.
20:07No!
20:09I'll take enough medicine as it is.
20:17My wife, she's at the shop, but she'll be back later.
20:21Your wife is already under the care of Dr Turner.
20:24It is you that I'm here to see.
20:26What?
20:28I need to make you an appointment.
20:31For tests at the surgery.
20:33And to ask some questions about your sexual contacts.
20:38I cannot help you.
20:39You have to leave.
20:40I demand you leave!
20:42Oh, right.
20:43Yes, sir.
20:45Goodbye.
20:55After me, Mom?
20:56Miss, I haven't found anyone to tame me yet.
21:01I need some paints.
21:03How much for this boy?
21:07Now, Eric, your swab did come back positive for gonorrhea.
21:12You'll need to come into the surgery for antibiotic injections.
21:15And I must ask where you may have picked up this infection.
21:21I'm afraid a shrug will not do.
21:23Untreated.
21:24This infection can stop people from being able to have babies.
21:28Is that true?
21:30Yes, I'm afraid so.
21:33Is having children a concern for you?
21:37Not for me.
21:38My brother.
21:40Last month, it was a sad night and we all...
21:43We...
21:45We went to a brothel.
21:46We went to a brothel.
21:47We went to a brothel.
21:48But we're so bad.
21:58We went to a brothel.
22:00We went to a brothel.
22:01Are you the proprietor of this establishment?
22:22I'm looking for someone.
22:24I have a description of the woman in question.
22:28I'm looking, tall, with dyed hair and a penchant for wearing numerous bracelets.
22:38I should inform you that I am prepared to stand here until you assist me.
22:54This isn't a place for a lady.
23:00I shall have to be quick then.
23:02I've spoken to the supervisor at the shelter.
23:05He is allowing you to return.
23:07How do you manage that?
23:09I told him it was very important that you were there to help me with the arrangement for the flower festival.
23:14You did say you were a window dresser.
23:20I can't believe you've done that for me.
23:24You're early.
23:34Oh, Mrs. Rowntree.
23:36I'd rather you didn't use my real name around here.
23:41I had no idea, no idea that you were-
23:42What?
23:43On the game?
23:44A disgrace?
23:45That you were in trouble.
23:46Trouble?
23:47Trouble makes it sound like there's an end in sight.
23:48Do you know what this place is?
23:49It's hell.
23:50And no one goes to hell willingly.
23:51Not unless they've got no other option to survive.
23:57Are you in any pain?
24:12in any pain down below? Perhaps during intercourse? A client of yours has reported symptoms of
24:23a venereal disease, gonorrhea. I came to invite you to Dr. Turner's clinic for testing and
24:31to ask for details of anyone you have had sexual contact with so that we may also trace
24:37them for treatment. I can't. Dr. Turner knows me as a mum. Not like this. I also know you
24:44as a mother. A responsible one. Sally never misses a booster or an appointment. She deserves
24:54a mother who is well. Fine. I'll go. But trust me, the other girls here won't.
25:07And lots of them are suffering too. What if we were to bring the clinic here to test and
25:15treat you all? Good night, Frank, and thank you for the lift, as ever. You're welcome.
25:29You know I've too well tonight, Vi. You've had the entire tradesman's guild putting their
25:34hands in their pockets to donate. I still need to put the mint bottles out. I didn't have
25:41time to rinse them before.
25:42There is always someone for each of us, they say. And you'll be my someone forever and
25:48a day. I could search the whole world over, until my life is through. But I know it's not
26:04I'll never find another you. It's a long, long journey. So stay by my side. When I walk through
26:11the storm, you'll be my guide, be my guide. If they gave me a fortune, my pleasure would be small. I could
26:18lose it all tomorrow. And never mind at all. I could lose it all tomorrow. And never mind at all.
26:25But if I should lose your love, dear. I don't know what I'd do.
26:32For I know I'll never find another you.
26:39I don't know what I'd do. For I know I'll never find another you.
26:45I don't know what I'd do.
26:47But if I should lose your love, dear. I don't know what I'd do. For I know I'll never find another you.
26:52I don't know what I'd do. For I know I'll never find another you.
27:02As your test came back positive, I'm afraid I must ask you for the names of your clients.
27:07I don't know any. Same as they don't know mine.
27:10Any description is useful.
27:13There's one I can't forget. See him in my nightmares.
27:24He says he's a foreman. He brings groups of blokes from his factory here.
27:31I'm his favourite. He always chooses me. He used to be in the army.
27:39He says that means he knows a million different ways to kill me. No one would ever know.
27:44He's got a large scar just here.
27:49I reckon it's where the devil marked him.
27:52Tearing nappies are cheaper in the long run.
27:57So we are going to learn two different ways of holding them and how to prevent nappy rash.
28:03Sorry I'm late. Come right in. We've only just started.
28:07Take a table and a baby doll.
28:13You've got one of our better behave models as it happens.
28:16There's one whose legs come off at the drop of a hat.
28:20But I'm not saying which one of you has it this afternoon.
28:23All will be revealed.
28:25By the end of this session you'll all be experts.
28:28You'll be able to teach friends or husbands.
28:30Some of us don't have husbands. Don't need them. Don't want them.
28:39And what we've found in the brothels of Poplar is a smorgasbord of venereal diseases.
28:45Two cases of syphilis. Three of pubic lice.
28:49And no fewer than eleven tested positive for our friend gonorrhea.
28:53I will need to see them all and treat them all.
28:56We will also need to treat their clients.
28:58Most of the girls work under false names.
29:01And the men do the same or give no names at all.
29:04I was twice told of a factory foreman who organises visits for his workers.
29:09I was told about him too.
29:11An enthusiastic customer himself by all accounts.
29:14Were you told about his scar?
29:18Um, six to seven inches long.
29:21Slightly curved and running directly under the line of the left ribs.
29:26That sounds like a splenectomy scar.
29:29That's a really unusual procedure.
29:31We should search our own records for someone who's had that surgery first.
29:35I shall commence by identifying all men of appropriate age
29:39and proceed as my findings dictate.
29:45I'm so glad you came, Marlene.
29:47Did you find it useful?
29:48Useful enough.
29:50I got a lot on. Getting everything ready.
29:52But I picked up tips.
29:54Lots of tips.
29:55You're looking quite tired, sweetie.
29:57Are you still not sleeping very well?
29:59No.
30:00Like I said, I've got a lot on.
30:03Sweetie, I...
30:04And stop calling me sweetie!
30:05Like I'm a child!
30:11Something's not right.
30:13When are you seeing her again?
30:16Tomorrow.
30:17Ted, this design is absolutely glorious.
30:23Where did you get your inspiration?
30:26Oh, um, the streets, um...
30:29Bombsites, mainly.
30:31You wouldn't believe what comes up through the rubble and the rubbish
30:34and the dandelions, cowslips, even poppies here and there.
30:38Some things bloom where we least expect them.
30:42Do you think you could gather everything we need by Thursday afternoon?
30:48Wildflowers can be a bit fragile.
30:51Your wish is my command.
30:53Do you think he seems brighter?
31:04Yes.
31:06But this won't change his life, Rutherland.
31:08Did I say I thought it might?
31:10I just don't want you to be disappointed if Ted can't see this through.
31:14Which suggests you think I'm doing this to make myself feel better.
31:18And I can assure you, I'm not.
31:29Got the wrong bloke.
31:31I can assure you that is quite impossible.
31:34Your medical records speak for themselves.
31:36Danni, what are you talking about?
31:37Then let me make it very clear.
31:40You are breaking the law by organising visits to our Gall Street brothel.
31:44We could report you to the authorities at any time.
31:47What do you want?
31:49Your full cooperation in getting your workers and yourself tested, treated and interviewed.
31:55And I would highly suggest you don't so much as look in the direction of our Gall Street again.
32:09Right, all you men who've been to our Gall Street need to speak to her.
32:13I know you are, so no idea.
32:15Or you lose a week's pay.
32:23For testing, the address of Dr. Turner's surgery is on the back.
32:27And we shall require the names of all your sexual contacts.
32:32Midwife calling.
32:33Arlene?
32:34It's Nars Elwood.
32:35It's open!
32:36My goodness, what's happened?
32:37Isn't it beautiful?
32:38It's the best thing I've ever painted.
32:39Only the best for my baby.
32:40It's gonna love it.
32:41It's gonna love it!
32:42Oh!
32:43Oh!
32:44Arlene, just breathe.
32:45Oh!
32:46Oh!

41:08yes that's that's the ticket
41:25it's a boy
41:34I love him. I love him.
41:56He's a little champ, and so are you.
42:04I love him.
42:34I love him.
42:37I'll go back to Nanata's and write out my notes.
42:40I'll speak to Mr. Parry and her psychiatrist.
42:44They'll send her back to the lynch, Mayor, won't they?
42:47I hope not. And I hope so.
42:50She really is very, very ill.
42:52I thought I'd see how you were getting on.
43:11Where's Ted?
43:15He only called me Madame once or twice.
43:18But I thought if he gave me a nickname, it meant he trusted me.
43:21You were right.
43:34I enjoyed thinking I was helping him.
43:37It was arrogant of me.
43:39And it was selfish.
43:40You showed him respect.
43:42That was not arrogant.
43:43And you gave him a purpose.
43:46However briefly, that was not selfish.
43:49I just wanted to show him he mattered.
43:58We can still do that.
43:59You must be exhausted.
44:10I heard what happened.
44:13Arlene should never have ended up in that position.
44:15How on earth was she supposed to stay well?
44:20The odds were stacked against her right from the start.
44:22I feel inclined to write to Margaret Mars
44:24and ask for more information about mental illness
44:26to be included in midwifery texts.
44:29Why don't you?
44:34Because it's too late to help Arlene.
44:37The baby will go into foster care.
44:40They haven't told her yet.
44:43I'm not sure how she'll bear it.
44:46This arrived for you today?
44:48It has an American postmark.
45:01It's a lock of Jonathan's hair.
45:04You must miss him terribly.
45:10I do.
45:15He is...
45:20You are both so beautiful.
45:26So far, baby's eyes seem clear of infection.
45:29We'll keep cleaning them as a precaution.
45:32As long as everyone stays well,
45:35we'll be releasing Mrs. Jameer and baby
45:38at the end of the week.
45:39Oh, thank you.
45:53You should not...
45:55I will be returning
45:56as a mother
45:58who wants her son to know his father.
46:01I am not coming home as your wife.
46:05A wife is something you earn,
46:08you cherish,
46:10not someone you hurt
46:13and break with lies.
46:15And I will do whatever you need.
46:20And I...
46:21I hope
46:22I can become the man that you deserve.
46:25I have a civil engineering degree.
46:30I know about structures
46:31and I can do things with girders,
46:33but this?
46:34Maybe that's where we're going wrong.
46:36Bluebells might be quite responsive
46:38to a bit of riveting
46:39and we could apply some tensile force
46:41to the daisies.
46:42How do you know about tensile force?
46:44One way or another,
46:45I helped a great many teenaged boys
46:47with their homework,
46:49two of whom went on
46:50to become civil engineers.
46:51But not Flores.
46:53No.
46:54And not social workers either.
46:59Give it to me.
47:14I think we've turned the corner.
47:17What do you think Ted would say?
47:19I think he'd say it is beautiful.
47:21I should go ahead and open the door.
47:25It's almost time.
47:33Take a seat, please, Dr. Turner.
47:35We'll see you soon.
47:39I have a very important question
47:42I want to ask you all.
47:45It's regarding the Nonatus arrangement.
47:49I want to include
47:51everyone's favourite spring flower.
47:55Mine is crocus.
47:58I've always liked bluebells.
48:00Oh, I cannot be part of the arrangement.
48:04I'm not one of the nurses,
48:05nor one of the nuns.
48:07Nonatus' house could function
48:08very well without me.
48:10Preposterous.
48:11Look at everything you've done
48:13with this contact tracing.
48:15I've seen 15 factory workers
48:18since yesterday afternoon.
48:19You are an integral part of our work.
48:22You are as important as any one of us.
48:28Well then,
48:30Lily of the Fanny.
48:31Hello, Marlene.
48:42There's Aylward.
48:43Is something wrong with the baby?
48:44No.
48:45Baby's doing wonderfully well.
48:48I've come to talk you through
48:49what happens next.
48:50The doctors keep coming in and out.
48:52I don't know what some of them are for.
48:53I've spoken to Mr. Parry
48:55and to your psychiatrist,
48:56and I wanted to make sure
48:58that you're happy
48:59with what's being proposed.
49:01They haven't proposed anything.
49:03They just decided it.
49:05So you understand
49:05that you're going back to the lynchmare
49:07and you have to keep taking lithium?
49:09I only stopped
49:10because I was trying to protect my baby.
49:11I know.
49:12And it didn't work, did it?
49:14Because they're going to take her away.
49:16Arlene,
49:17the social worker
49:18is going to visit you later on.
49:20She's going to explain everything
49:22about the foster care arrangement.
49:24But who's going to explain it
49:26to my baby?
49:27You can.
49:35It's a bit dirty
49:36from being in the shed.
49:38I reckon it will scrub up just fine.
49:45It's my speech
49:46for the flower festival.
49:47I don't know how to end it.
49:50Whether to say
49:51I will be continuing
49:52or retiring as mayor.
49:54What have you got so far?
49:59The tenement improvements,
50:02the prevention of accidents campaign
50:04and two new play schemes.
50:06Just bits and pieces, really.
50:08That's not just bits and pieces, Vi.
50:11That's great big changes
50:13for the better.
50:15You can't stop now.
50:16But how would we manage
50:19another year?
50:20Another year of me going
50:21hell for leather
50:22after everything?
50:25You'd manage.
50:27We'd manage.
50:29Because when you get tired,
50:32I will carry you.
50:34Fred,
50:35really?
50:37In a manner of speaking,
50:40I mean,
50:41if I put my back out,
50:42I'd be no good to you,
50:43but I...
50:44My, my.
50:55This is a beauty.
50:56It was a spy by a member
51:00of the shelter.
51:01Rosalind and I
51:02just finished it off.
51:04You seem to be spending
51:06more and more time
51:06at the shelter.
51:10When we are alone,
51:11we seek to fill our evenings
51:12with activities.
51:15It makes them pass
51:17more quickly.
51:19More bearable.
51:20When I got married,
51:25I didn't think
51:26I'd find myself alone
51:28so much of the time.
51:30In our congregation,
51:31Mr. Emil has been here
51:33for 30 years.
51:34And you know how many times
51:35he's seen his wife
51:36in that time?
51:37Four.
51:38They make it work
51:40because they want
51:41to be husband and wife.
51:50Would you like to hold her?
51:59Am I allowed?
52:00Oh, absolutely allowed.
52:02Because I'm allowing it.
52:10I'm sorry, little one.
52:13Don't tell her you're sorry.
52:15Tell her that you love her.
52:16I love you.
52:22I love you.
52:25I love you more.
52:27I love you like I never knew before.
52:30Like I never knew I could.
52:33You don't even have to love me back
52:34because I am going to love you
52:37every day.
52:39All the time.
52:41Every waking moment
52:42till you're in my arms again.
52:46Will this get better?
52:50Yes.
52:52Because you will get better.
52:58She's got such pretty hair.
53:00She's got such pretty hair.
53:00She's got such pretty hair.
53:14We need to get our skates on if we don't want to miss the opening.
53:36Nurse Crane's gone on ahead to take photos of the flowers.
53:41I'm not coming, Razzleine.
53:42Not coming?
53:47Well, I suppose you wouldn't be if you're going somewhere with a suitcase.
53:50Are you going on a course? You didn't say.
53:53I've accrued a lot of leave since I started this job, and I've decided to take it.
53:58Where are you going?
54:00Jamaica.
54:02To visit my wife.
54:04It's too long since I've seen her.
54:09You must miss her.
54:12And she must miss you.
54:17The ocean feels very wide sometimes.
54:22All the more reason to make the journey.
54:26Yes.
54:27Have a safe trip.
54:40Sister Monica Joan, I'm really impressed.
54:57I am merely a conduit in God's work.
55:02But one can't help but marvel at the infinite variety of his creation.
55:08Nor the infinite love of friendship.
55:11A year ago, I became mayor of Tower Hamlets, a borough full of hope, of ambition, and more than a bit of lip.
55:34You've certainly kept me busy.
55:36Thankfully, I've had more than a bit of help.
55:40If you ask me, this place, our borough, is the very best of London.
55:46And it gives me great pleasure to announce that I will be serving you for one more year.
55:58And so, as my last act as outgoing mayor and my first act as incumbent mayor, I now declare the Flower Festival open.
56:09Sometimes there is no hand to take ours or to hold it.
56:32The heart beats on, apparently alone.
56:37But hope is never lost to us completely.
56:40It can hang by the finest and most delicate of threads, surviving somehow, just as we do.
56:53Hope is the ribbon that transfigures everything.
56:57It can transform wild weeds into a posy.
57:01It can bind separate energies into a potent force.
57:07Hope ties us.
57:09Hope secures us.
57:11And life unites us all.
57:17How have you been finding the catheter?
57:19Oh, just looking my trousers.
57:21Vending machines.
57:23And you think this will catch on?
57:25Oh, yeah.
57:25Business is booming, isn't it, Norm?
57:27We aren't dirty, nurse.
57:29Honey, you're doing your best.
57:31But without their vow of poverty, you could not carry out essential work.
57:37You think.
57:37We're gonna be right.
57:38You are not.
57:52We're doing your best with nothing.
