Original subtitles

I need someone in my life. I need a girl to hold me tight.

Someone to make me feel, make me feel all right.

Somebody help me, yeah.

Somebody help me now.

Won't somebody tell me what I've done wrong?

Well, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but it looks to me like a bad

case of housemate to me.

Housemate? I got it playing hockey.

Mind you, that was years ago and it's still hurting.

I think it needs looking at.

Not to mention a gentle squeeze in carefully selected places.

Oh, clumsy me.

Oh, look at the state of the doctor.

You should really get that looked at, though.

I'll do that.

Hey, Sam!

What time do you call this?

You OK?

Yeah, I just got... Has held up.

Well, I reckon we're all done by now.

There's loads.

Yeah, and there's usually a bit in the middle that isn't burnt.

Oi.

Yeah, that'd be nice.

Oh, hi, June, hi. Yes, thanks for getting back to me.

Yes, I know, on a Sunday as well.

No, I promise I won't make a habit of it.

Yes, um, it was just about patient, actually.

June, um, strictly confidential, this one.

Yes, um, it's one of our nurses, actually. She's got herself pregnant.

Oh, thanks for taking all the time for the doctor. No problem, Ken.

You want to know about pigeons, you've come to the right man.

You managed to contact the owner, yeah?

Yeah, the, uh, Elizabeth Ballard.

Oh, that's a long way.

I know.

Well, he said feed him, give him some rest, and, well, what do you think, eh?

Champion? Or pie filling?

What I think, Ken, is this is no ordinary pigeon.

This is royalty.

Look at that chest, as proud as they come.

The line of the forehead.

And those wings, they're just meant for the skies.

Look at him. Yeah, royalty, eh? Well, he's in for some quality hospital food.

That should set him straight.

Well, say hello to Mabel for us.

I'll do that.

Hey,

do I see young love in bloom?

I wouldn't know.

Me neither.

It's, um, this is the only recipe.

What are you doing?

Well, everyone's got a booth. You're not going, are you? No,

I don't know. Oh, come on, stay for a bit.

I have stayed for a bit.

This is for you.

Thanks. That's the nice one.

Must be fun living here.

What's he like, his old lady?

She's a dragon.

Oh, no, she's an angel.

Room's a bit small, isn't it?

Cozy.

There. That's cozy.

There's a great view.

You should come and take a look.

Maybe I will.

Dr. June Barnes on the phone.

Calling on a Sunday?

Yeah, no, it's just about a patient.

Uh -huh.

Problems?

Uh, yeah, she's pregnant.

And it's, um... Rich?

Ectopic? I'm better than you.

Uh, no, no, it's, um, it's unwanted.

You're advising abortion?

Not advising anything. It's what she wants.

Pity we can't ask what the child was.

Well, this is early. It's very early.

You know, I seem to recall that once upon a time we took an oath.

Yeah, well, times change.

I don't know.

I wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't what was best for her.

Oh, there you are.

Where have you been?

Daydreaming as usual.

Somebody stole the car, so I walked.

Well, have you phoned the police?

Not yet, but I will. When?

Any minute.

Right now. Stop fussing, woman.

Oh, no.

How are we going to get to the hospital tomorrow?

Your appointment.

You've got to go to this one. I missed the last one. I know what appointments

I've got.

Well, you forgot the last one.

I'm busy.

You forgot.

Come on, lovey. Let's go in.

Arthur, come on.

What a day.

Sam? Oh, hi.

I've been waiting for the cattle.

It's not on.

I knew I'd forgotten something.

It's OK.

It's not.

I'm pregnant.

All right.

All right, you just have a good cry.

Are you sure you're not just late? I'm sure.

So is Dr Wetherill.

I don't want this baby, Meryl.

I just can't have this baby.

Nurse Beaumont, has that been on the floor?

Has that been on the floor?

Well, just... Take them to the laundry.

It was only this one.

So you say.

I don't expect much from you, Nurse Beaumont, but I expect better than that.

I think we ought to have a talk now.

OK.

There. You hear that?

Can't play as I can, Mr Harper. Get some poison up there.

I've been pitted in my hospital.

And something down for the rats while you're at it.

Who does he think he is?

Now, I've spoken to Dr Barnes. Who's that?

I thought you weren't going to tell anyone.

No, no, she's a very old friend of mine, and she's a very good consultant. You

can trust me on that.

Now, don't worry. She's sympathetic.

OK.

And you need two signatures. That's just procedure. You've got mine, and June

says she's going to help.

Can I still have children?

After this?

Yes, of course you can.

I do want children.

One day.

Not like this.

I know.

When I do have children, I'll make it good for them.

I promise.

Quite a warning.

Matron's on the warpath.

I'm afraid your name was mentioned.

Samantha looks as though the ground's just collapsed from beneath her feet.

Am I in the vague territory of two and two makes four?

Gordon, this is to go no further, OK?

Anne June's decided to sign, has she?

Look, I know how you feel about this.

You've spoken to Sam?

Yeah, of course I've spoken to Sam.

All the options?

Well, there's only one she's interested in.

There are dangers.

Giving birth's a risk.

And what about later on, if... Well, if she regrets it?

It's her decision.

Look, Gordon, I know how you feel about this, and I do respect your opinions. I

just... I think ultimately all we can do is counsel, and if there's a

good reason, just... do what we're asked.

Well, they said if he gets nervous, sing.

Sing? Jerusalem, apparently, relaxes him.

And did these feet in ancient times.

It's got to be this way.

This is for ambulances.

Straight in round, get in it. Hello.

How's our fellow friend?

Deaf, I think.

Not poorly, are you? Me? Never.

Just an eye test for the driving.

Fact of the good, that'll be without a car.

Got stolen yesterday.

Did you phone the police?

Yeah, they burden out. Typical.

Well, keep me eyes peeled, thanks.

Somehow I can't keep anyone stealing his old bangers. Excuse me.

Cutting it fine, Dr Goodwin? That's the story of my life.

Right, Mr Goodell. Well, I certainly can't fault your eyesight.

Of course you can't. 20 -20 vision I've got.

I need it too with her snooping around, always looking over me shoulder. And if

I didn't?

Forget his head in the morning.

I thought you might want these.

You ran out so quick.

Oh, well, I... I was late.

Very late.

You slack in this job and, um... Well, you're in big trouble.

Doctor, I think you've got your next appointment.

Oh, right.

I'd better get on.

So, uh, could somebody here say about Monique?

Who's your doctor?

It was Dr. Cheriton, but I don't know now.

You'll be there later.

You mean after work?

Well, I might be persuaded if a particularly attractive lady I know

to join me.

I reckon she would.

OK, your doctor is... Dr Goodwin.

Oh.

Right.

Well, we've already made a start.

Are you sure about that?

Oh.

I've got to go.

Just make an appointment.

I'll do that.

And what about later?

I'll call you.

I'll be honest with you, Arthur.

I'm not sure you should be driving.

You've said yourself you're getting forgetful.

Road signs.

Directions.

Pedestrians.

She tells me if I'm going to hit something.

Can't tell him anything.

I'm just thinking of your safety. And frankly...

The safety of others.

I flew planes in the war, Dr Olmrod. Now you're telling me I can't even drive

myself to the shot.

The sad fact is, Arthur, there comes a time.

I know the rules.

And the rules are you sign that unless you can prove I'm blind as a bat.

And if you've said I'm not.

Now what I need is the car back.

He passed you.

Listen, Arthur, I've got some news about your car.

Come on, I'll take you over.

You've got a visitor.

I was just passing.

Look, Chrissie, I'm sorry, but we're going to have to call the hospital.

Because I'm your doctor.

So?

I can't have a relationship with a patient on my list.

Well, I won't tell anybody.

I'll change doctors. It's not the point.

Look, it's against regulations.

I thought you said you had no regrets.

I have now.

I thought I meant something to you.

Well, it was stolen.

Can't see any damage.

Just nicking it and driving it round the corner. What's the point?

You come in.

Thanks, Ken.

No problem.

and you distracted me.

They're in the way. No, they're not. So what's the problem with that?

Mr. Middlewich wants to see you.

Right.

He did say now.

This is a road. Roads are for cars. You should be more careful.

Go, Johnny, go. Go,

Johnny, go.

What have you done now?

We've had a complaint.

About what?

You.

Specifically, what might be called professional impropriety.

From whom?

Christine Maynard.

A patient of yours.

She said you had relations of a sexual nature.

I've told Miss Maynard the procedure.

I don't know if she'll take it to the GMC.

I'm also obliged to inform the district health authority.

As this does represent something of an infringement of the professional code.

I see.

I think it's a flail chest.

What's that? What have I done?

Well, I'll let the docs diagnose him, but I think he's fractured his ribs.

And we're going to have to have a look at that as well.

I'm all right, really.

Not until they say you are.

You told Arthur. Just once.

Dr.

Frederick, we'll see you now.

I'm Dr Sedgwick.

I'm sorry, I'm here to see Dr Barnes.

She was called out.

You're lucky I could fit you in today.

All right, let's get started.

The screen's there and there's a gun hanging up.

We need to examine you. What for?

To confirm the pregnancy.

But didn't Dr Weatherill... If my opinion is required, I'm not about to

on the basis of hearsay.

But I just need the signature.

That's all I came for.

And I don't enjoy being taken for a clerk.

Now, you can either allow yourself to be examined or not. It's up to you.

That's Arthur Cordell. He took a bit of a knock in a road accident. Just a

scratch, really. It might need a couple of stitches.

Good idea.

Preferably over it now.

Right, you've been in a road accident, OK, which seems to have done quite

serious injury to your lunch.

Right, where's this nail chest?

Ah, Mr Rose, actually, there seems to have been a bit of a misunderstanding.

Dr Weatherall.

My medical training might not have been what it is today, but at least we knew

the difference between a rib cage and a stick of celery.

I do not wish to be cold, unless you are absolutely sure that I have something

to do.

Is that clear?

A big waste of time.

I'll make an antenatal appointment for you in two months' time.

I take it you'd like to have the baby here?

I'm not having it.

I... I said I'm not having it. That's my decision.

The decision has already been made.

You're having a baby.

But Dr Wetherill... Has her own approach to these matters.

You'll probably bond once it's there.

Most women do.

If you don't, adoption is a reasonable alternative.

But she said on social grounds.

Inconvenience, I'm afraid, is insufficient grounds for killing a baby.

But don't worry. We're certainly very happy to look after you.

I'm sure everything will proceed well. You're in good health.

I've told you what I want.

What you think you want.

You're a young girl. Your hormones are obviously clouding your judgment. There

is nothing wrong with my judgment.

If you don't mind me saying so, young lady, your present demeanour hardly

confirms that to be the case.

I don't want this baby.

So what then?

Sorry.

Chrissie, you're angry. I am.

I understand that. You don't.

You want me to forget about it.

Like you want to forget about me.

You made me feel cheap.

Look, I'm sorry. I would never have done that on purpose.

This is very difficult for me. I can't pretend that it isn't.

You can pretend I meant something.

This could ruin me.

I'll move to a new hospital and word will get out.

I'll be up for a promotion and someone will check the records.

I'm not going to let you do this to me.

You should have thought of that.

Chrissie, please.

You did what you did.

Now you get to face up to it.

There must be some mistake.

I talked it up to Wetherill.

I can't think.

Meryl, I just...

I want to be rid of it.

Now.

I know.

But don't do anything rash.

Go for a walk. Clear your head.

I've got to go.

I'll be missed.

But we'll talk more later, yeah? Yeah.

Right then, you two.

Let's do it again until you get it right.

Come on, Tanner. Anyone would think that was difficult.

Shift it, lad.

It's what everyone should think you're soft. What are you waiting for?

It looks a bit rough, sir.

That's not rough.

Perhaps you'd rather we're practising the children's paddling pool.

Fasten's all right, aren't you?

I'm a bit tired, sir.

Of course you're not. You've not done anything yet.

I want to see some effort.

If you want to be in my team, you have to put your back into it. You're not

for a picnic.

Now, off you go. Go on.

Use your arms, boss, sir. Coins to gun, sir.

Go on.

Turn the phone around, man.

He's rusted.

I'm not sure.

Don't be such wits.

Come on, get yourself over the wheel.

Sir, we can't control it, sir.

Use your arms, Tanner.

It's too rough.

Use your arms.

Get yourselves over the wheel.

Shift it now.

We're getting carried away.

Yesterday.

trouble seems so far away now it looks as though

they're here to stay oh i believe

yesterday

i'm not half

the girl i used to be the the shadow

Yeah? I'm looking for Mrs Monkford. I see.

May I ask what for?

I understand, she... Well, if she... Tells fortunes.

Looks like you're doing too good at the moment.

She can help me with that, you know. Come on in.

Mrs. Monkford.

Did you bring the money?

Come on, Drew.

Walter, what are you doing?

Hold on.

Just hold on. I'm coming. I'm coming over.

I'm coming over, Tally.

Now then, love, just a few things before we begin.

First thing is, aftercare.

Don't expect any.

After you leave here, I never saw you.

Second, you mustn't tell anyone.

Not a soul, nor will I.

And I expect that will suit us both.

Right, then. It shouldn't take long.

Let's get started, shall we?

What happened?

I couldn't get to him.

I tried, but I was so back, it's impossible.

Well, what was he doing in there?

I told him it was dangerous, he wouldn't let her.

What's his name?

Billy Tanner.

Right. I'm going to need a rope.

I've got one in the van. Steve, the rope!

All right, Billy!

What the hell did he think he was doing? No idea.

Do you not want me to go in? No, no, no.

You, hold me tight, all right? Go on.

That wasn't too bad, was it?

I don't think you'll have any problems.

But if you do... Then my problem.

I'm fine, Mum, and stop fussing. Ken, how's that pigeon getting on?

Oh, er, hmm.

Very tasty.

I gave him a comfy bed, best food I could find, and you know what? If you

him just behind the head, he ruffs his feathers.

I reckon it's time to be letting him go.

Come on, let's see how the car is.

Arthur, don't you think you should give the car a rest?

What are you saying?

I'm saying there's a very good bus service round here.

Why does everybody have a problem with my driving all of a sudden? Because you

just hit somebody.

The gentleman who was involved in the unfortunate collision.

I might say the inevitable collision.

Is he all right?

Fortunately, yes. We're discharging him now.

I thought he'd killed him.

He was very lucky to escape serious injury, Mr Cordell.

Dr Romerod filled in a form for me.

I'll allow you to give it to him back.

He can chuck it away, do what he likes with it.

But I won't be needing it anymore.

I'll see that he gets it.

One more lift.

You could have killed us. Oh, then come down. I told you not to come

this far down.

Steve, get the stretcher.

Drowning in hypothermic slums are clear. Come on!

Good job, honey. There you are now.

Check the desk.

Tanner's an idiot.

You know that.

I said, don't go in the weir, and he did.

You got that?

How many times do I have to tell you about safety?

Let's get you all warm.

You're a hero, Doctor.

I'm sorry to put you through so much trouble.

Take care of him. He's a good lad.

Don't go anywhere, Mr Morrison. The police will want to speak to you.

Right, I need a saline drip set up and let's get some more blankets and the

of these clothes off, shall we?

Lizzie, is Meryl...

Sure. She's just having a coffee break. Do you want her?

Well, you should have been here today, Sam. We've had all sorts.

Drowning vegetable chess.

Sam? Sam?

Sam, what happened?

Where are you?

I'll be with you in ten minutes. Is there somewhere you can sit down?

Sam?

You cold?

Sam, she's collapsed.

Come on.

Hi, Lizzie.

Is the harper around?

So what do you want him for?

To drop Dr Goodwin in it? He deserves it.

I deserve a lot of things I don't get.

You know what he did to me?

This is his life.

It's what he's worked for.

And he's a good doctor.

treated me like I didn't matter.

I saw the period and it weren't just one way.

He didn't know you were his patient. He made a mistake, that's all.

Tell him off or give him a slap.

But don't have him chucked out of the hospital.

We like having him around, Chrissie.

Well, are you sure this is a good enough place?

What could be better?

I like it.

Come on, darling.

Farewell, my little maid.

Oh,

look at him go.

Used to be me.

Fast and furious.

Wings of the sky.

Now I can't even drive a car.

Okay, thank you. Stand back, please. Stand back.

Sam? Sam, what's happened?

She's pregnant.

Right, okay, let's get her out of here. Come on.

Excuse me, please.

What's wrong with you? Get out of the way!

Now, warmer?

Jamie, what really happened at the Weir?

I thought you heard.

Well, I heard what Mr Morrison said.

He's your instructor, is he?

He was making us do extra practice.

Said we had to toughen up.

Was your friend reckless?

Not really.

So what really happened?

We went into the water.

He knew it was dangerous.

So did we.

But he kept shouting at us that we were wimps.

Why don't you prove to yourself that you're not frightened of him?

And tell the truth.

He's true.

She passed out about 20 minutes ago with the bare blood loss.

It's, uh, it's Nurse Belmont.

Uh, right, I'll need a couple of liters of Hartman's and, uh, let's get some

bloods for a cross match.

Samantha?

Can you tell me what happened?

She thought Dr. Tedgwick had Ashfordly.

He wouldn't find.

Right.

Okay, Samantha, listen, can you hear me?

Did you go somewhere else?

I think what we have here is a botched abortion.

What is it? What's going on? Oh, the poor child.

It just gets more negative for the moment. Can somebody call Dr. Almrod?

Right, if you'd just like to sign here.

Miss Maynard.

He didn't know I was one of his patients.

I think we've been through that. Now, to prep your complaint, you sign your

statement here.

Will he have to stop being a doctor?

That's up to the GMC.

I expect you'll just get a reprimand.

But I can't see him working round here after that.

But he's a good doctor, isn't he?

I won't sign.

My mistake.

I'm sorry.

But Miss Maynard...

It's

OK, Mum.

I think I've managed to clean her up, but that was a hell of a mess.

Why didn't she say anything?

Did she think I'd be angry?

I don't know.

Disappointed?

I'd have done anything for her.

She only had to ask.

The operation went well.

Samantha's going to be fine.

Can't we see her before she goes?

No, I don't think she's too keen to see too many people just now.

But she is going to be OK, though, Doc.

Yes.

I dropped the complaint.

Oh, right.

Thank you.

Look, I'm sorry.

I overreacted.

I didn't treat you too well, did I?

When you learn how to look after people, I mean, really look after them, then

you might be able to call yourself a doctor.

What did you think I'd do?

I just didn't know what you'd do.

Then I... I haven't made it very clear, have I?

How much you're loved.

There's no shame, Sam.

I can't stay here.

I'll support you.

I do think...

I need to go away for a while.

I've let everyone down.

Of course you haven't.

And nothing will ever, ever be the same again.

You were the sweetest, loveliest child.

You could always talk to me.

I was your favourite uncle.

You are.

I'll make mistakes.

And we get older and crustier.

And maybe a little more foolish or wise.

I don't know.

But there's something about you, Samantha.

A spark.

And that's what I think of you.

That sweet child.

You don't need to say anything. I'm just glad you're all right.

A bit of crass stupidity.

I'm the expert on that.

I'll let you get some sleep.

Thank you, Doctor.

Up and about, then?

Looks like it.

What about Tanner?

Well, he isn't.

I know he isn't.

I'm asking if you've heard anything.

He'll live.

He's lucky the ambulance came.

Good.

It was flaming stupid to go so fast over the way.

Is that what you're going to tell the police?

Well, that's how it happened.

But it wasn't, sir.

Well, I'm saying it was.

And so are you.

You got a problem with that?

Well, maybe I'll kick the both of you out of the group.

Well, why don't you?

I don't want to be in a group led by you.

You're not fit.

But, you know... But, Morrison, the police are ready for you now, I believe.

If you do anything to him...

You'll have me to contend with.

It's all right, sister.

I know what he is now. A coward and a bully.

I couldn't help him.

I tried.

But the water, it was so fast.

Maybe you did what you could.

The authorities might have a different point of view.

I want to apologise.

Don't worry, it wasn't your fault.

No, it's not yours either.

I panicked.

Well, forgivable, given the circumstances.

Oh, what now?

What have you planned?

Right now, convalesce, and then I'm free.

I'll be travelling for a bit. I've got some friends in France I want to see.

And after that, South America.

Maybe learn the South.

Oh, well, then you'll come back and teach us all.

Your carriage awaits.

And I was just beginning to think you had the makings of a good nurse.

You'll always be welcome back.

Thank you.

God bless.

I'm ready.

Ready for anything.

I have to say, it's rather a nice place you're going to.

I might invent a couple of symptoms and get a room there myself.

I think you're needed here.

I'll miss you.

Come on then,

Uncle.
