00:00Children incline to happiness. That is their gift. They burst through the open
00:09door. They run towards the smiling face. They embrace what is offered. They
00:15celebrate the small things, for they will not be small things themselves for long.
00:21We have more power when we are older. We make choices. We make progress. We like
00:28to believe we make something of ourselves. But we were made, and we were marked, when
00:38we were so much younger. When if we were lucky, we were free to incline to all the happiness
00:45we wanted.
00:46Phyllis, you're back! Millicent! When did you arrive?
00:52I came home in the small hours without a hitch. Then on the way to clinic, I get a punch.
00:57You look remarkably sanguine, all things considered. The Devonshire air was clearly
01:02something of a tonic. It was better than you had during the dustman
01:05strike, by all accounts.
01:07We have scoured and we have scrubbed, but the odour still haunts us.
01:11I'm just glad little nurse Clifford pulled through. I should be keeping an eye on her.
01:16Oh, I almost forgot. Just a little something.
01:20Oh, clotted cream fudge. What a treat. Do you require a lift to the clinic?
01:26That would be appreciated. I'd rather not be late on my first day back.
01:30Morning, ladies. No say of what I can see. You're under sleep.
01:40I have been given a date for a disciplinary hearing.
01:43Has Mrs. Midgley's complaint been upheld?
01:46It seems it has. The legal language is so brutal. I mean, misconduct and disobedience?
01:52I don't recognise myself in those words.
01:54Nor do I, Nurse Highland. You are one of our most competent, diligent and hardworking midwives,
02:00and you will be cleared of these charges. We simply have to trust in the process.
02:06How can I trust in a process that might be as prejudiced as a person who made the complaint?
02:11We have Dr. Turner's records and Sister Catherine's statement, which relates to your previous visit,
02:17which she witnessed, and I myself will attend as your character witness.
02:22I don't feel I can ask you to do that. This is the second time you've had to help me try to resolve a crisis.
02:30You have not asked me. I have stepped forward, because that is my privilege.
02:35And if you are referring to the matter of your divorce from an abusive husband, that is my privilege too.
02:40You will be moving on from that, and you will move on from this too.
02:46I have to believe in myself, don't I?
02:52Yes, you do.
02:54How was that? Bye bye.
02:56Afternoon, Fred. You don't happen to sell shoelaces, do you?
03:00Ah. Strawberry or licorice? Didn't know you were partial.
03:04I meant real shoelaces. Mine snapped.
03:07I think Violet put them...
03:09Oh! Here.
03:11Last pair. Three and nine pints.
03:13I need to smarten myself up. I've been invited to a film premiere.
03:17The fucking Bronco one.
03:19Bronco Bullfrog.
03:21To be attended by Her Royal Highness Princess Anne.
03:23Not you two.
03:25That's all I've heard about from Violet for the past week.
03:27You would have thought God was coming out to Tower Hamlet. It's not mere royalty.
03:32They filmed it here. I think it's nice they're going to be showing it here.
03:35Most of the actors are local kids, and I helped the crew find the extras.
03:39Here.
03:40Violet's having the fur replaced on her robes, and I've been threatened with a new suit.
03:45There's no getting out of this one.
03:47How many tickets they send you?
03:49Two.
03:57Afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Berridge. Nipping the ear today.
04:07Oh, aren't those lovely new shoes?
04:10May I have your urine sample, please, Mrs. Berridge?
04:14I can take that for you.
04:17Careful!
04:18So sorry. It just slipped out of my hand.
04:21Well, it wasn't my fault. Accidents happen.
04:25Shall we go through, Mrs. Berridge?
04:27It's fine. We'll go to the park.
04:28Oh, there's that soon. We'll go to the park.
04:30Come on.
04:33See you when you're done, love.
04:39It's lovely to see you again.
04:43May I help?
04:45Are you looking for something in particular?
04:48It's not for me. It's for my mum.
04:51She needs...
04:53It's something the council hygiene department usually delivers.
04:55Might you be looking for these?
05:02That's it. Thank you.
05:06Your mum sometimes phones an order in Mr. Briscoe and this is the brand that she generally favours.
05:13I'll take them then.
05:21Would you like to pop your jumper off? It's quite warm in here.
05:24I'm cold.
05:26It's because I'm tired. I was up all night with Kerry and this one kicking.
05:30How much did your first baby weigh, Mrs. Berridge? Can you remember?
05:39Six pounds.
05:41And your husband?
05:42He was in an orphanage from a baby.
05:45I don't think he knows.
05:47He never knew his real mum and dad.
05:52Blood pressure is a little low and baby seems small for dates.
05:56How are you feeling in terms of your general health, Mrs. Berridge?
06:04I'm fine.
06:05I just need to catch up on my sleep.
06:08Sometimes it's hard to take as much care of yourself as you should when you're having a second baby.
06:13Maybe we just need to keep a closer eye on you.
06:16And we're not letting you off the premises unless you have another go at giving us that urine sample.
06:31Thank you, sister. I should have done that.
06:33It was the work of moments.
06:34And really rather satisfying.
06:37Sister Julian, might it be possible until my hearing is over not to work directly with the patients?
06:45And may I take some on my holiday leave to give me time to prepare my case?
06:50You are a good nurse and you are needed, Joyce.
06:56I will give you whatever time off you require, but please don't hide yourself away.
07:01It is others who should be ashamed, not you.
07:11Mrs. Berridge, have you got something for me?
07:13I tried, but there was nothing doing. I'll bring one next week.
07:23May I have a quick word, Sister Catherine?
07:26Mrs. Berridge and her husband both used to take heroin.
07:30Heroin?
07:31We didn't know what it was in Poplar five years ago.
07:34But the problem has grown and grown and I wish I could say its use was unknown in pregnant women, but I can't.
07:40Is that why she was being so cagey about replacing the sample?
07:46And why the baby feels small?
07:48Well, I would say baby is borderline, but I must confess I feel uneasy.
07:55I think we should make a house call tomorrow.
07:58So do I.
08:00I simply don't know what one has to do or whom one has to speak to to get tickets to this film gala.
08:12We haven't had royalty in Poplar since Princess Margaret came to open the old community centre.
08:17I had a call from the surgery regarding Ellen Briscoe, Mrs.
08:21Nascraine, if you don't find Ellen Briscoe, Mrs. filed correctly under B, I shall run around the allotment in my corslet and stockings.
08:29I'm not so much interested in B for Briscoe as B for blanks.
08:34I need a new card for her.
08:36She left the practice so I took her out of my Rolodex and now she's back so she needs to go back in.
08:41I remember Ellen Briscoe. She told Dr. Turner he had an unsatisfactory bedside manner.
08:47That's outrageous. He could go on Opportunity Knox with his bedside manner.
08:52Well, it seems the other doctor didn't score very highly on the clapometer either because she's re-registered with us.
08:59And someone has taken the blank cards out of my Rolodex, Sister Veronica.
09:21Take a seat.
09:24Morning, Sister.
09:25Morning, Dr. Turner. It looks as though most of our methadone patients have come back again.
09:29Oh, that's good.
09:33Well, it shows it's working. This treatment is so new it could still go either way.
09:38But I think we can all feel encouraged.
09:41Oh, nurse. I'm so glad you came. Mum's in agony.
09:47She told me she was falling apart at the seams this morning.
09:50Mr. Briscoe, I didn't recognise you. You're looking very smart.
09:55I'm working at Woodhulls, the gentleman's outfitters.
09:58Oh, that's a well-established firm. It's a nice opening for a youngster.
10:02It's a bit of a dead-end job, really.
10:04But it's not too far, so I can pop back to see Mum when I need to.
10:09Mark? Marky, is that you?
10:13Come in.
10:15How are you feeling, Lawrence?
10:18Are the cravings any more manageable with the methadone?
10:21They haven't gone completely, but I can cope with them now, little by little, eh?
10:27Less of the little. It's been a few months now.
10:32You said we were pioneers when you got me on this programme?
10:36It was as experimental for me as it was for you. But it's given rise to a lot of interest.
10:42And hope. Which is probably more important.
10:45I mean, I've managed to hold down regular work on the building sites.
10:49Me and Jackie have got ourselves a wee council flat and another baby on the way.
10:53Good for you.
10:54This is not what I thought I'd be a year ago. And I'm grateful.
10:59Well, I am grateful to you for sticking with it.
11:03Good. Here's your methadone for the week.
11:26Mrs. Barrage? Midwife calling?
11:29Be right there. Just a second.
11:34Hello. Was I supposed to be expecting you?
11:41I'm afraid things have gone downhill for me since we last met Nurse.
11:45I'm in almost constant pain.
11:47No, that should be more comfortable.
11:50You've a very capable young man here, Mrs. Briscoe.
11:57Why don't you tell me about yourself?
11:59Mum likes me to keep notes. I'll step out when you do the procedure.
12:12Sorry, can you do my other arm?
12:14This one's aching from carrying Kerry around all day and she still doesn't like being put down.
12:18Oh, Mrs. Barrage.
12:25Has this been going on for a long time?
12:27No.
12:28If it's only once, it's not anything.
12:32I'm all right. I'm all right, I promise.
12:34Jackie, you're not all right.
12:37And if you don't tell us the truth and let us help you, baby, it's not going to be all right either.
12:42I don't want to hurt my baby.
12:44I don't want that.
12:45Is it heroin again, Jackie?
12:53Yes.
12:55And does your husband know?
12:59No.
13:03The medication you're on for the underactive thyroid should have relieved your symptoms.
13:09And I see that your last doctor wanted you to stop your enemas.
13:13That's the reason I left.
13:15I can't go unless I have a washout. I get that blocked.
13:18It was cramps and childbirth.
13:21And I have a commode because my legs mean I can't walk to the privy.
13:28I'll get back to work.
13:31You later, Mum, OK?
13:35Thank you, nurse.
13:40His mind's elsewhere.
13:41I suspect a lady friend.
13:43That's nice.
13:45He's a good lad.
13:47Well, she'll have to be a good girl if he's planning on getting spliced.
13:52It won't be easy living cheek by gel.
13:54Young folk these days tend to want their own homes.
13:58Mark will live with me.
14:00I'll live with my mother.
14:05Shall we get you on your left side, Mrs Briscoe?
14:08And the towel under you?
14:13Unfortunately, Jackie, your baby will have been exposed to the drugs you've taken.
14:18You're saying my baby's an addict?
14:22It will need very special care once it's born, because it will have become accustomed to having
14:28heroin in its bloodstream.
14:31So it is an addict?
14:32None of this is ideal.
14:33But we can help by weaning you off the drugs starting now.
14:38I would like to give you controlled injections of a different opiate to help ease your withdrawal.
14:44It will ease things for the baby too.
14:46No.
14:47I don't want no more drugs.
14:51I got myself clean before without interference.
14:54I'll do it the same way this time.
14:55Oh, the offer is open.
14:58Please consider it.
15:01For your baby's sake.
15:02This has been so lovely.
15:12Am I allowed to say I look forward to it all day?
15:14Yes.
15:16As long as I'm allowed to as well.
15:21We need to have a proper night out soon.
15:23As long as you're completely recovered.
15:31I can't believe how much better I feel.
15:34The grapes helped, obviously.
15:42Bronco Bullfrog.
15:44The Royal Film Gala.
15:45It looks tremendous.
15:46An East End film about East End kids.
15:49Wait, I tell Trixie.
15:50She's still trying to get tickets.
15:52I believe she even asked Mrs Buckle and got a flat no.
16:01Coming off heroin is going to be a nightmare.
16:04Combined with pregnancy.
16:06Whether she agrees to the opiate therapy or not.
16:09I'll have to talk to the lynchmare and see what they suggest.
16:11I'm concerned for little Kerry.
16:13Can father be relied upon or should we look into foster care?
16:16Mr Berridge hasn't been taking drugs.
16:18His urine test came back negative from my clinic.
16:21Does he know that his wife is taking heroin again?
16:24She's adamant that he doesn't.
16:27Seems she's managed to hide it from everyone.
16:29I'm sorry.
16:33I'm so sorry.
16:36Why did you take it, Jackie?
16:41Why?
16:43You're pregnant, love.
16:44I know and I hate myself for it.
16:52But you're never around and I was lonely.
16:56I'm working.
16:58I'm trying to give us a decent go at things.
16:59I can quite see that you don't want to put your job at risk.
17:03But do you have someone who can babysit for Kerry?
17:06No, I haven't and she hasn't.
17:07I haven't seen my family in three years.
17:11Mum hates Lawrence.
17:14She made me choose him or her.
17:20My dad was a bit more tolerant but Mum wouldn't have it.
17:23They've never even met Kerry.
17:30That must be very difficult.
17:34Sister Veronica can help as your health visitor.
17:38She might be able to find a nursery place for Kerry.
17:41No, I'll take time off work and we'll scrabble through.
17:47We are all the family that we need.
17:54All right, you three.
17:55We have something very special for pudding tonight.
17:59Raspberry full ice cream.
18:01Yay!
18:02Because we are celebrating.
18:04Celebrating what?
18:06The fact that the final adoption papers for a certain Miss Maid Turner
18:10are now in place and we are going to the Magistrates' Court to sign them.
18:17Right on cue.
18:19That will be your big brother calling from Edinburgh to say congratulations.
18:24Hello?
18:24Timothy!
18:26Yes, Timothy.
18:27Oh yes, we've told them.
18:31I can't wait to see you.
18:37Good morning, Violet Buckle speaking.
18:40I'm always happy to speak to the Gazette.
18:45Yes.
18:49I think the Royal Premier is a wonderful opportunity to promote Tower Hamlets.
18:55What do you mean it's about juvenile delinquents?
19:06Best time you go waltzing off to New York.
19:08I am going to strip this right down to its frame.
19:10Forever playing city beggars.
19:13Can't you write a different one?
19:14It's my favourite, Fred.
19:16It's been my favourite for years.
19:19Lady Aylward.
19:20Lady Aylward.
19:21Violet, what's the matter?
19:24Could you possibly, and I can hardly bear to encroach upon your time,
19:29grace us with your company at the premiere of this film?
19:31But I thought you said the tickets were at a premium.
19:34That was before I knew it was likely to bring Poplar into disrepute.
19:39We need all the respectability we can pack into that cinema.
19:42I'll go giving Princess Anne the wrong impression.
19:45I'd be delighted to oblige, but there's other respectable people at Narnata's house.
19:50And there will be other tickets. You won't leave it with me.
20:05Nurse Crane said you asked to see me.
20:07Please, sit down.
20:10I have spoken with our superior, Mother Mildred.
20:15And we have agreed that we would like to invite you to take your first vows
20:20and become a novice in the Order.
20:26Do you feel I'm ready?
20:28As Saint Paul told Timothy, seek not to be ready,
20:32but be always in a state of readiness.
20:37You don't have to give your answer now.
20:38I would like to give it, if that is acceptable.
20:49Yes, I want to enter the vowed life.
20:54Yes, I want to join the Order.
20:57Yes, I want to be your sister.
21:02Because I want to give all that I am to him.
21:11Ten out of ten. You can get dressed now.
21:14All I have to do is to sign these forms and then you can hand them in at the recruiting office.
21:20Dr Turner, were you in the Royal Army Medical Corps?
21:24I certainly was.
21:26When I saw an advert for the RAMC, it was perfect.
21:29I've always been interested in two things.
21:31Nursing, because of my mum, I suppose.
21:33And the army, because, well, just because.
21:38Because of you.
21:40You've got a lot to offer, Mark.
21:42And you'll get a lot out of it, too.
21:49Sisters, may I direct your attention towards the guest room when you've finished your labours?
21:54Guest room?
21:56Are we expecting Nurse Elwood's brother?
21:58No. Nurse Corrigan is sending Colette to stay with us.
22:02She has a fitting for her bridesmaid dress.
22:05This is all happening very late in the day.
22:08There's not much more than a month before the wedding.
22:15Good morning. What brings you here?
22:17Is something amiss with Mother?
22:19She was fine when I took her a breakfast.
22:24Nurse Corrigan, do you mind not telling Mum you saw me here?
22:27I was having my army medical.
22:28I see. My lips are sealed.
22:32I still haven't told her.
22:35They could send me anywhere in the world, and then what would she do?
22:37Let's just take this one step at a time, shall we?
22:42My back aches.
22:43It's killing me.
22:45It's the drunk working its way out of your body, Jackie.
22:48I can't do this.
22:53You're doing so well.
22:55Oh, no.
23:01Sister, is there any possibility that Mother is in labour?
23:10I think she is having a contraction.
23:11I'm not ready.
23:15I'm not ready.
23:15My body's not ready.
23:17I think it is, Jackie.
23:19All will be well.
23:20Because bodies know a thing or two.
23:23And so do we.
23:29Mrs Briscoe.
23:31District nurse calling.
23:33There's no screen.
23:42Come for your procedure.
23:43One moment.
23:44I'm not decent.
23:47Jackie, how about a little gas and air for your next contraction?
23:50No.
23:51I don't want any drugs.
23:52I've hurt my baby enough.
23:53This won't harm baby.
23:55You'll just take the edge off your pain.
23:56Oh, I think my walls are broken.
24:02Tell you've done this before.
24:03Wonderful.
24:04Let's get you onto the bed.
24:08We have meconium.
24:10Baby's in distress.
24:26180.
24:28Baby needs to be born now.
24:38It's good to see you're able to get up and fetch yourself some snacks, Mrs Briscoe.
24:43I don't know what you're talking about.
24:45I lead the most terrible life stuck here, needing help to go to the toilet, unable to feed myself.
24:51It doesn't need to be.
24:52These legs just need exercising.
24:57And you've got a lazy bowel from too much laxative dependence.
25:02Both can be rectified.
25:05What does that mean?
25:06It means that with a little hard work, you can get your independence back.
25:11That's cruel, that is.
25:13And typical of the medical profession.
25:14Do you think I haven't tried everything?
25:16I'm going to make your next appointment with Dr Turner at the surgery, Mrs Briscoe.
25:20How am I supposed to get to the surgery?
25:22I can't walk.
25:23I'd be in a state of collapse.
25:24I'm sure we can provide tea and a biscuit to revive you.
25:33It appears you favour custard creams.
25:35This is just baby's head crowning.
25:50Jackie, the stinging won't last long.
25:51Slow the delivery down if you can.
25:53Small, short breaths through this next contraction.
25:57Wonderful.
25:58That's wonderful.
25:59Just like that.
26:00With a dab hand at this, Jackie.
26:02Oh, really? I feel like I've made a mess of everything.
26:06You're a lovely mother to Gary.
26:09And you're going to be a lovely mother to this one too.
26:15Blow again. Blow again.
26:17Like this.
26:23Superb work.
26:24Baby's head has been delivered.
26:25Now, we need gentle pushes to deliver the rest of baby.
26:40Clamp and cut now.
26:42Congratulations, Jackie.
26:43You have a son.
26:44Oh, one of each.
26:47Kerry wanted a little brother.
26:54Oh, can I hold him?
26:56The little fella just needs cleaning up.
26:58And a bit of help with his breathing.
27:02What's wrong with his breathing?
27:03No, nothing.
27:04He's just a bit of a lazybones.
27:09Call the ambulance.
27:10Is this because of what I did?
27:15Is this my fault?
27:20Come on, little soldier.
27:21And then Johnny will talk to us, and I will ask you questions for you on a...
27:40Oh.
27:41Oh, when will Mum and Dad be home?
27:43They're helping a lady have her baby, but they'll be back soon.
27:46Do they have to sign forms with her?
27:49No, sweetheart.
27:50Why?
27:51They had to sign forms with me so that I could be their child.
27:55You've been waiting for this for such a long time, haven't you?
27:58It's nearly a year.
28:00A year is a long time, Mae, but a lifetime is even longer.
28:06And you are going to be part of this family forever.
28:09So, come sit with me and we'll have a think about that, shall we?
28:20We're going to take Phoebe to St Cuthbert's, Jackie.
28:23Even her specialist out there, we'll be very well looked after.
28:27You can't go without me.
28:29You've got to stay here, Jackie.
28:32You need looking after yourself.
28:40Wait, wait, wait, wait.
28:42Michael.
28:50Don't we call him Michael?
28:52After your father?
28:55Why would you want to call him after your father?
28:59Because I haven't stopped thinking about him.
29:01Or my mum.
29:02In spite of everything that's been said.
29:07In spite of everything that's been done.
29:09And I know that they loved me as a newborn.
29:12Just like I love this little squirrel.
29:15Your parents cut you off, Jackie, because of me.
29:17It wasn't my parents.
29:18It was my mum.
29:21My dad was a good dad.
29:25All right.
29:26If that's what you want.
29:27Is temperature stable, but you must keep him warm.
29:34I'm sorry, Michael.
29:52It's no good, son.
29:53I'm spent.
29:54I can't do any more.
29:55Yes, you can.
29:57Well done.
30:02There's only a few more, Mum.
30:04And the taxi's right outside the door.
30:06OK?
30:25Afternoon.
30:27How are you?
30:28I'm getting by.
30:31I've heard about the accusation.
30:35I'm sorry.
30:36You sound like a clear case of racial prejudice to me.
30:40They asked us to come here, and we did.
30:43I can't say it's ever been quite the welcome that they promised.
30:47I arrived at this very port.
30:52I've scarcely traveled a mile since then.
30:54But sometimes I feel like an astronaut.
30:58I've come so far and learned to breathe such a different day.
31:03So did I.
31:03I'm happy or whether I'm not.
31:12Whether I'm happy or whether I'm not.
31:14Whether I'm wanted or whether I'm not.
31:17I can't go back.
31:28She can't get out of the cab.
31:31Or she won't.
31:32Won't or can't.
31:35You go back to your mother and wait in the taxi.
31:38Keep the meter running if need be.
31:40Jackie?
31:53Mrs. Ferridge?
31:58I'm sorry, Doctor.
32:00But there's no world in which I can make it up those stairs.
32:02My legs don't work.
32:04In which case, I will have to examine you in the taxi.
32:10There's no dignity in this.
32:13A word of thanks to Doctor for his consideration would be nice.
32:19Any chance we have no idea on the meter?
32:24St. Cuthbert's called to say Mrs. Ferridge has just been seen
32:27leaving the special care nursery with her husband.
32:31Thank goodness we know where she is.
32:34Did she try to take the baby?
32:36Baby Michael remains in his incubator.
32:38So, at least one patient is in the proper place.
32:48I've tested them thoroughly.
32:49There's certainly nothing wrong with your reflexes, Mrs. Briscoe.
32:52What about my thyroid?
32:54Your levels have been tested in the last three months.
32:58Things look spot on in that regard.
32:59I sat my last doctor for saying that and you're ignoring my arthritis.
33:03I can't walk.
33:04Mark, he's calling me a liar.
33:07I'm going on one of my turns.
33:08I can feel it coming off.
33:09Mrs. Briscoe, there is no reason we can't get you back on your feet if we all work together.
33:16You can have occupational therapy and we can work out a plan to help you with your bowels.
33:21But you have to want to do it.
33:27What am I going to do?
33:29It's my army interview tomorrow.
33:30Then tell her.
33:33She's not as helpless as she'd have you believe.
33:35And perhaps she needs to hear it.
33:37I don't believe it.
33:44You've all grown so much they don't fit.
33:48Does that mean you'll have to cut these out and measure them again?
33:51It does.
33:53And Nancy's changed her mind about the style of her dress.
33:57I've got my work cut out and no mistake.
34:00No pun intended.
34:07I thought I had never seen you happier than when you were ready to enter the novitiate.
34:30I was happier in that moment than I have ever been.
34:35Before or since.
34:40But this life, any life, it doesn't just consist of moments, does it?
34:46No, it consists of years in which we faced life in all its aspects, all its difficulties.
34:58In our search for happiness and peace of mind.
35:05My peace of mind has so many enemies.
35:10Is it permissible to say that?
35:11Admission is essential.
35:19I've been caring for a very vulnerable mother.
35:21And I see myself in her.
35:28Her family cut her off because of the path she chose.
35:33As have yours.
35:35And I cannot reconcile myself to it.
35:43I have caused my parents so much pain.
35:48Just like my patient caused her parents.
35:51She wanted more.
35:53I wanted more.
35:56I wanted more.
35:56You wanted something greater.
35:58Whatever our desires were, the end result has been the same.
36:06Things have been lost and broken and perhaps forever.
36:13My family could not accept my calling.
36:23And they could not forgive me when I answered God.
36:26But with his help, acceptance and forgiveness are within my gift.
36:37Sister, am I wrong to want their blessing when I have so many others?
36:49You may be wrong to assume that they will never give it.
36:56Emotions sometimes take time to soften.
37:01Write to them.
37:04Invite them.
37:05And I will pray for a beneficent reply.
37:15I keep asking myself, long or short?
37:19Short or long?
37:21Do you think this is suitable for the premiere, Joyce?
37:25I can go back and change it.
37:26Just keep it low-key, Rosalind.
37:29You don't want to draw any more attention to yourselves than necessary.
37:33Even stepping over the black man is going to get your unwanted attention.
37:36So you keep settling.
37:38So, ladies, I continued to apply discreet pressure.
37:43And Mrs. Buckle, keen to showcase Poplar's most upstanding citizens,
37:47finally provided tickets for us all.
37:50I thought it might be a nice way to celebrate after your hearing.
37:54Celebrate?
37:55If I lose at that hearing, I will lose everything.
37:58My registration, my job, and my home.
38:02And you just come breezing in here talking about celebrating?
38:11We've just been really insensitive.
38:13Yes, I'm afraid we have.
38:19We'll apologise once Joyce has had a chance to collect herself.
38:23In the meantime, I want to talk to you about your shoes.
38:30I have some news, Mum.
38:32It's something exciting, but it won't mean change for us.
38:36I'll pass my medical test.
38:41I've got my final interview tomorrow.
38:44That was me thinking you had a lady friend.
38:47If I pass, I get to train at older shop for 16 weeks.
38:53And then I get posted somewhere.
38:56Maybe, maybe even overseas.
39:02What will become of me?
39:04I'll make sure you're all right, Mum.
39:07But I can't work in a gentleman's outfits for the rest of my life.
39:09It's suffocating me.
39:10I've sacrificed my life for you.
39:17Raised you on my own since we lost your dad.
39:20And for what? To be told I suffocate you?
39:22Please don't do this, Mum.
39:23I don't want you to do anything for me anymore.
39:25Live your life. Live your dream. Go.
39:27I won't be accused of stans in your way.
39:31Get out! Get out! Now!
39:40How you feeling, Jackie?
39:45Much better.
39:46The pains and the sweating have gone.
39:49Michael's doing nicely, too.
39:50Shall I put some milk in this for Kerry?
39:53I haven't been to the shops yet.
39:57Where is your husband today?
39:59Back on the building site.
40:01Someone has to earn, don't they?
40:03Well, when Sister Catherine's finished,
40:06we'll go through the forms for milk and orange juice.
40:08And I'll tell you about the social worker you've been assigned.
40:13His name is Mr. Robinson. He's very nice.
40:15We don't need a welfare officer.
40:18I'm off drugs and my husband is working.
40:38I've got butterflies in my tummy.
40:52So have I.
41:00Oh, God!
41:01Mrs. Briscoll!
41:03What happened?
41:04I fell down the stairs, hit my head. I can't move.
41:08You're lucky I decided to call in.
41:10I need Mark. Can you get Mark?
41:16It's a miracle.
41:18No bump, cut or bruise.
41:20And somehow, in your fall, your cup of tea didn't spill a drop.
41:30If I hadn't stopped by, it's Mark who would have found you here, isn't it?
41:35You're lucky, Mr. Hallett.
41:38May's mother, Miss Esther Tang, who currently remains living in Hong Kong,
41:43has now completed the formal agreement for the adoption.
41:46Thank you, Mr. Hallett.
41:48So, May, today is the big day.
41:52We are going to make a formal decision that Doctor and Mrs. Turner will be your legal father and legal
41:59mother. Are you happy about that?
42:01I've been happy for a long time, just knowing it will happen.
42:06Then, are we all agreed?
42:13The adoption order has been made. Congratulations!
42:22Take care, sir.
42:23My pleasure.
42:23Good to see you.
42:24I'm sorry to interrupt you at work, Mr. Briscoe.
42:31I need to speak to you about your mother. There's been an incident.
42:36An incident? Is she all right?
42:37No harm was done at all. But there are some facts of which you need to be apprised.
42:43Thank you for your advice, Sister Monica-Joan.
42:59I'm writing to my family.
43:01Oh, just a moment.
43:07A missive of such import deserves a special letterhead and bond.
43:13Oh, Marky, I've had a terrible day.
43:23I know.
43:25I spoke to Nurse Crane.
43:27I want to talk.
43:29But not here.
43:31I set the table for tea downstairs.
43:33I'll see you there.
43:45We've managed to get ourselves into a right mess, Mum.
44:04Don't you think?
44:11You're too young to be an invalid.
44:12I'm too young to be looking after you. It's not healthy.
44:15Not healthy?
44:17What more do you want, Mark?
44:19I want us to be honest with each other.
44:24I want you to support me and my ambitions.
44:26And I want you to have your own dreams, too.
44:29Dreams?
44:30At my age, I put my dreams aside to bring you up.
44:34You're going to have to get them out again, Mum, and spruce them up, because...
44:39I'm going to take this job if I get it.
44:42I want to see the world, make you proud.
44:45I promise.
44:49I want you to want this for me, Mum.
44:53I want your blessing.
44:54My work shoes are gone, and my uniform. Have you seen that?
45:12You... Don't cry or you'll make me cry.
45:15I felt so alone.
45:17Never. Not here, and not with us.
45:21You have friends, Joyce. And what's more, you now have an immaculately ironed uniform and a perfectly
45:25polished pair of shoes.
45:38Hey. Hello.
45:40How are you doing?
45:41May I come up?
45:43There we go.
45:43One, two, three.
45:47We'll have a wee play here, will we?
45:48We'll have a wee snoozy.
45:54Hi.
45:55Jackie.
45:56Hi.
45:58What's going on?
45:58What are you doing back home?
46:03We weren't expecting you.
46:10Where's your wedding ring?
46:11I lost it.
46:16Don't lie to me, Jackie.
46:24Jackie.
46:27You sold your wedding ring for this.
46:30I mean, where did you even get this from?
46:32No, don't. Please, please. It's so hard about Michael.
46:36I'll be fine when he comes home, just to get me through.
46:39You're not going to get him back like this.
46:40Don't look at me like that.
46:42Like I'm dirty, like I'm bad.
46:46I would never have taken it if I hadn't met you.
46:49We moved on, Jackie.
46:52At least I moved on.
46:54I'm doing my best here to stay clean, to give this family a decent go of things.
47:00Don't throw away, please.
47:02You know what it's like.
47:04You could do it with me.
47:08You wanted me to take it with you once.
47:10Remember?
47:12And I did.
47:14Because I love you.
47:18And now I'm asking you, just take it with me.
47:21You think I'm selfish, that I'm standing in my son's way?
47:30I think you're afraid of being alone.
47:35And you don't have to be.
47:38You'll miss him.
47:40But you won't lose him.
47:43He'll visit.
47:44He's clearly devoted to you.
47:47As I was to my mother.
47:48It was hard for her when I left home to train.
47:53But then she found things to do which had been impossible with me clinging to her skirts.
47:59What do you miss most?
48:05Are you still like a jumble sale?
48:07That's something to aim for.
48:08But small steps first.
48:13Let's see if you can get these shoes on yourself.
48:24Are you still like a jumble sale?

50:06examinations and two whilst training to be a nurse nevertheless we are here to address
50:12a complaint of negligence by mrs. bernadette midgley mrs. midgley's accusations are entirely

51:22uncomfortable uncomfortable and criticized that was never my intention i was encouraging her to

56:04is it allowed to say that a man looks beautiful
56:08so
56:13Babies are born, but families are forged.
56:31Year after year after year, the staff of belonging is tempered and strengthened,
56:39shaped by life and its chances and demands,
56:44created by love and all that we let go.
56:54And even in loss, new life is given back to us.
56:58There will always be another open door.
57:01There will always be another gift, another celebration,
57:13something to pass from hand to hand.
57:19It may only be a small thing,
57:22and the pleasure it brings may be entirely fleeting,
57:26but embrace it, be at peace with it.
57:31And like a child, embrace all the happiness it brings.
57:43There's been a fire at Arbery with mothers-to-be there.
57:47Hello again, Paula.
57:49Come on, honey. Let's get you inside.
57:51If you're looking for us to take her in, the answer's no.
57:53Hey!
57:57What do you think you're playing at?
