All language subtitles for The Royal s05e08 Waifs And Strays

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?

Morning, Leslie.

Morning.

All about chatting you up when the dozen
takes another wound to the ball.

I already even thought of taking it.

I don't think we've seen this little one
before.

Wait, what's her name?

Anne.

She's been really off for a couple of
weeks. I've been so worried.

Did you not think to call the doctor?

She just won't stop crying and her nose
won't stop running and she won't go near

a bottle and she's got this rash around
her mouth.

Right, I'll get the doctor to look at
her. Just wait here.

Thank you.

I'm a grown woman. I'm entitled to some
privacy. You never stick up for me.

Well, it's more than me likes worth to
cross your mother.

What's she done this time?

Two women, one bathroom. A recipe for
disaster.

She bolts the door at half past ten.
It's like being in prison.

All right, I'll have a word. No need.

This dinner time, I'm seeing a well
-appointed masonette in Cliffview

Unfurnished, H &C, kitchen, bathroom and
front door.

Perfect bachelorette accommodation.

She's a little dehydrated, and you say
she's not been feeding?

She won't look at a bottle.

And you're registered at this practice?

Not yet. We've only just moved to the
area.

So where was Anne delivered?

She rather took it by surprise.

Her father and I were on holiday in
Scotland.

Oh, so she was premature?

Yes. How many weeks?

Two or three.

And how long was she kept in hospital
for?

A few days.

In an incubator?

No.

I mean, yes.

Well, I think we'd better take some
blood tests and some swabs.

Do you think it's serious?

I'll be able to tell you more when we
have the results of the test.

Then you're testing for something
specific?

No. Does your husband know you're here?

Well, I called him when I left the
house. He's on his way here.

Well, when he's here, we can discuss it
a bit further.

If you'd like to wait here while we
prepare to take the blood test.

Thank you.

Inflammation of the membrane, blocked
nose, blood -staining muscle discharge

perioral eczema.

And that all suggests congenital
syphilis.

That should have been picked up by the
antenatal test.

When her husband arrives, could you let
me know?

You're right, John.

No, I mean, look, link there.

Can I help you? Yeah, it's my arm.

Oh, nasty.

Hey.

I heard you're working here.

You two know each other?

How are you? Well, I've been better.

I'll get the doctor.

None along?

Yeah, I was the best man at her wedding.

I used to know her husband.

I haven't seen her since you lost her.

Right.

Well, follow me.

The authority does not hold you
responsible for the death of that

are some lessons to be learned, but
there is no suggestion of incompetence.

How very disappointing for you.

You are a very competent doctor, Jill.

Mr Carnegie, you practically accuse me
of negligence.

As if it wasn't bad enough having a
patient die.

Anyway, on a happier note, I'd like to
offer congratulations on your news.

Maybe you could update me on the issue
of a replacement.

Well, we can arrange for a locum.

I intend to take a few months off when I
have a baby, not the rest of my life.

Are you sure about returning to work?

Is that the advice you give a patient in
similar circumstances?

Oh, what, as an elderly prima gravida?
No, as my wife.

Gordon, one's brain does not necessarily
atrophy the moment one gives birth. Did

you give up your career when your first
wife had Tom and Katie?

No. Exactly.

I have absolutely no intention of giving
up everything I've worked for because

I've become a mother. It cannot be
beyond the realms of human ingenuity to

combine the two, can it?

Well, maybe you feel a little difficult
at the time.

Maybe. We should start looking for a
nanny. Doctor.

Patient and casualty for you. Thank you,
nurse.

Needed a lick of paint.

Needed gutting more wine.

Oh, me own furniture. It might scrub up
all right.

Teddy?

Lizzie. What are you doing here?

Just visiting an old mate down in his
lark.

You know how it is.

An old mate called Edward Catchpole,
Esquire.

You told me you had a penthouse
apartment on the seafront.

No longer.

You're looking at Merkasa.

Shemwa. My humble home.

What's wrong?

I'm fine.

No need to worry about me.

Looking upstairs, are you? I was
thinking about it, yeah.

How about I fill you in? Give you some
insider information.

You can't turn a troll around halfway to
Iceland.

So I had to get Paddy to stitch me up.

Well, you can tell Paddy he did a very
neat job.

And if he'd used a cleaner needle, he
might just have got away with it. The

wound's infected.

So keep the site dry and covered. Come
back and see me early next week.

Nurse, could you do an eye -deformed
dressing for me, please? And put him on

week's course of ampicillin, 250
milligrams of QDS.

I've written it up on the card.

And I shall leave you in the capable
hands of Nurse Dean.

Okay. Thanks, Doctor.

How have you been?

Not so bad.

I meant to keep in touch.

But you know how it is.

Would you hold the door for me, please?

Are you sure you're OK?

Oh, yes.

I've just been a bit off colour the last
few weeks.

All right, what is it this time, then?

Botulism? Bubonic plague?

I don't want to burden you with my
problems.

Of course you don't.

Anyway, Lizzie, we've got to be getting
back.

Now, look, if you're that ill, you
should have a lie down.

No, I'll soldier on.

Do you fancy joining me for an ice
cream?

Oh, I'd love to.

Wouldn't we, Dad?

Well, the swabs show treponema pallidum.

And the blood test gives a positive that
you are, which confirms congenital.

Well, that should have been picked up in
her antenatal kit, didn't you think?

Oh, she tells me she did.

She must have contracted it later in
pregnancy, from her husband.

With all that implies.

I'm somebody who isn't a husband.

A bit tricky.

Dr. Goodwin, Mr. Hale's arrived.

Right. Cut, please.

Damn thing!

Alan!

I reported that fuser's faulty a week
ago.

The whole thing needs rewiring.

This place used to run like clockwork
under Mr. Carnegie's regime. It is

becoming a shambles.

Well, the man's liability.

Cancel the remainder of this morning's
list, if you please.

I will not work under such primitive
conditions.

I have the results of the test.

I'm sorry to have to tell you that your
daughter is suffering from congenital

syphilis.

No.

Now, we can't treat it with penicillin.

I am, however, concerned that this
wasn't picked up on during your

care, Mrs Hale.

I'm afraid I would also expect you both
to show positive syphilis.

I'll need to take blood and swabs from
you both. I can do that here and now, if

that's OK with you.

You think she picked up a venereal
disease from me?

What kind of man do you think I am?
Please.

However unsavoury this may be to the
both of you, the facts of the matter

be ignored.

One...

If not both of you, he's carrying this
infection.

And syphilis is a very serious illness.

Left untreated, it will kill.

She didn't pick up this disease from us,
Doctor.

She's not our child.

She's... adopted.

But, Matron, I have better facilities in
a tent in Korea.

I will not operate until the situation
is rectified.

Shall I send the rest of today's list
home?

Yes, Nurse. I will mention the
implications.

If we are to deal with an emergency
without adequate illumination, we will

unable to operate.

I'm well aware of that, Mr. Rowan. I
suggest that Mr. Carnegie deals with

as a matter of urgency.

I intend to operate as scheduled in the
morning. Good day, Matron.

How about coming out tonight?

Do you think you're up to it? What would
you have been to Paulick? I'll struggle

through.

I'll pick you up about eight.

Just a sec.

Until I catch my breath.

Not before you see the doctor.

Dad! Well, he's that ill he could keel
over at any second.

As if those hard -working doctors aren't
busy enough.

Well, that's what they're there for.

Unless all you're suffering from is
raging hypochondria.

Be a lot of that in our line, you know.

Glass back, confidence restricted.

You're not one of them, are you, Teddy?

Look. If there's an out -wrong, then we
can put this poor troubled soul's mind

at rest. But if there is, we can make
sure he knows about it. Makes sense to

I've got an appointment in half an hour.

New line and greeting cards could be a
goer.

Nothing more important than your health.

How's your mum?

Still only me to find myself a nice girl
and settle down.

Have you found her?

I might have.

It just didn't seem right.

I felt like I'd be intruding.

But now you're back to something like
normal. Normal?

I've stopped being normal the day I lost
Jack.

I'd like to take you out, Catherine.

How about it?

I don't know. It's difficult.

Just a drink.

What's the harm?

How about tonight?

When do you finish work?

I could be ready by half seven.

Okay. I'll meet you here, then.

Okay.

I'm sorry to say, for the first time in
the history of this hospital, we've had

to send a patient home.

Mr. Middleditch made maintenance a
priority.

It's on my list, Matron. Without a fully
functioning theatre, the doctors cannot

operate. Believe me, Matron, I'm dealing
with it.

You owe my wife an apology.

If you'd made things clear from the
start, we could have avoided any

embarrassment.

Now, if you could give me the details of
the adoption agency, I can make a start

on tracing the mother. Why do you need
to do that?

As I explained, left untreated, syphilis
can kill.

We can't help you.

I don't understand.

There was no third party involved.

We made a private arrangement.

Is the mother related to you?

We rescued this child from the gutter,
Doctor.

That's all you need to know.

I lost three.

And they're carried.

They're nothing.

The Doctor said they never would be.

We love her. We want her. That's all
that matters.

The mother of this baby is probably
unaware that she's ill.

Now, if I don't find her, she may well
die.

Do you want that on your conscience?

Or do I need to take this matter
further?

You'll find her at the Variety Theatre.

Her name is Paula Thornberry.

Thank you.

I can't hang about.

Not with head office cracking the whip
about this new range.

They'll understand, won't they?

Can't have the salesman keeling over in
the line of duty.

Wait here, Doctor, won't be long.

Do you really think he's putting it on?

He's got shifty malingera written all
over him.

Right, would you like me to see Teddy?

He's over there, acting as if he's at
death's door. We were wondering if you

could give him a thorough examination.

I'd be delighted.

Teddy, would you like to come with me?

Excuse me, I'm looking for Paula
Saundry.

Paula, Luke here for you.

Hi, nice girls.

Nice to be having you.

You?

This is a restricted area.

I'll be sorry.

I'm looking for Paula Saundry. What for?

Oh, that's the person. Listen, laddie.
No gentleman followers until after the

show. Oh, no, no, I don't think you
understand.

I'm a doctor. A doctor? If you're Ingo
Starr, if you want to see the girls, you

get out front with the other punters.

Oh, just pop that on the side for me,
would you? Thank you.

I can't remember the last time an
attractive woman had me in such a

position.

Right, so you're complaining of
discomfort in the chest area,

sort of thing.

Terrible.

I lie in bed at night and I can hear my
heart thumping away.

Any other symptoms?

I feel a bit dizzy now and then.

Nothing to get worked up about.

And I'm always, you know, going.

I see.

Though that could have more to do with
Elson being best bitter.

I'm rather partial to a point or two.

Thirsty work, sales, all that talking.

All right.

If you'll just bear with me a second.
This won't take a moment.

I have a fear of needles, Doctor.

I just need to take a bit of blood and
build before you know it. I don't feel

so.

Oh, thank you.

A little local difficulty, dear boy. I
wonder if you'd give me a lift back up

the hospital.

Where are you heading? I've got a
patient to see up at Devil's Cliff.

Oh. Well, thanks to Mr. Carnegie, I have
a bit of spare time on my hands and a

bit of sea air won't do me any harm.

Hop in. I'll take you there myself.

Come here often, do you, Doctor?

I'm Paula.

What do you want?

Is there somewhere we could talk?

Pretty girl, eh?

Our Paula.

I just wanted a word.

Pay up front and you can have as long as
you like.

This is a personal matter. Ten
shillings.

Or you hop it.

House rules.

Enjoy yourself, Doctor.

He fainted.

Betty. Patients not so confidential.

He's doing his best to make it look
convincing.

They're all actors, these salesmen.
That's how they make their money.

So what's the verdict?

I've got to come back later for my
results.

And I said you'd make him a nice cup of
sweet tea, seeing as though he's lost so

much blood.

Go on, then.

You haven't got a biscuit, have you?

Only I've come over all faint.

A woman called Ella Hale.

told me that you were the mother of her
child, the child she adopted.

Well, whoever she is, she's lying.

It's very important I trace this woman.

Well, I'd like to help you, Doctor, but
I can't, so if you don't mind, we're on

again in half an hour.

If I were to tell you that this child
was seriously ill, with a disease her

mother passed on to her, would that
change her opinion?

She's sick.

And so is her mother.

If she doesn't get treatment soon, she
could die.

That's why you have to help me, Tracer.

You neglected to mention you were
visiting this encampment.

Did I? Sorry.

As you'll be aware, I have contributed
at length in the lively correspondence

the local newspaper about the continuing
presence of these anarchists.

I don't think I was aware, no.

It's astonishing.

These people just turn up and demand
medical treatment willy -nilly.

A child was scolded. The mother brought
her into casualty.

A little concerned she didn't turn up
for her appointment this morning.

She's got a thousand grown children.

Can we have a ride in your car, mister?

Please? Fingers off the paintwork.

I'll be with you.

So why Ella?

They go to church.

They've got money.

She'll bring her up, right?

How do you know her?

She used to do this charity work.

Got right up Stan's nose.

I found out she lost a baby and I was
expecting mine.

Did she offer you money?

Stan sorted all that out.

She was desperate for a child.

How could I bring up a kid? There's no
ring on my finger, is there?

There's not likely to be one either.

Did you see a doctor?

Did you have any kind of antenatal care
at all?

We went to stay up the coast.

Pretended we were sisters.

Midwife came, signed me off.

Ella went back home with the baby.

I came back here.

A couple of weeks later, I went to see
them.

She turned on me.

Reckoned she'd call the police if I went
back.

You've got to come with me to the
hospital, Paula. You need treatment.

And I'm afraid I'm going to need a list
of any... boyfriend.

You think they give me their names and
addresses?

I'll come.

If you let me see my baby.

I was just a little concerned when you
missed your appointment, that's all.

Well, I've been applying a poll to
Savannah Kern Conference.

Seems to be coming along nicely.

Yes. Yes, it is.

Well, that's looking much better, Isla.
Well done.

Look, we have a mother and child clinic
every fortnight at Laura.

You'd be very welcome.

We're moving on tomorrow.

I see.

Well, good luck.

Help! Help! You've got to help!

Young man, you nearly caused a serious
accident.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

What is it, Rose? It's not...

The pipe!

The tide's coming in! He's not moving!

I told you not to go there!

I told you it was dangerous! I suggest
we waste no more time. I'll get my bag.

I'll be right with you.

So will you keep on building high until
there's no more room left there?

Are you playing? You just fell in. Did I
fall all that way?

Nah. Can you hear me now?

How are we going to get him out of that?

Over there!

Jack!

There's another way!

Quick as you can.

You need to take one of these every day
and make another appointment to come

back and see me again next week.

I would suggest that you abstain.
Promise me you won't tell Stan, please.

What we discuss in here is confidential.

But I am concerned about your
circumstances.

Stan Caesar's right, Doctor.

He keeps an eye on us, makes sure we're
safe.

It's a respectable club he runs.

What about your family?

My dad's dead.

My mum's new fella and me didn't get on.

I got a lift down here with a wagon
driver.

Ended up in a cafe on the front.

Nowhere to go, no money, nothing.

Stan walked in, bought me a cup of tea.

He gave me a job and some work to do.

I landed on my feet.

So, I get to see you now.

You promised.

He's obviously fancied you for years.
He's telling me you've never noticed.

Oh, forget about him. He's had a million
chances to make his move and he hasn't

bothered. I feel such an idiot.

Which is why you've got to stop moving
over what you can't have and start

enjoying what you can.

I'm still married, remember?

To a drowned man. What the heck use is
that?

It's true.

You're still young.

You deserve a life. He'd want that for
you, wouldn't he?

What if we don't get on? Well, we can
make up a fourth of them. Then if you

decide you can't stand them, we can take
you home.

We?

Alan, are you doing anything tonight?

Er, no, not much. Why?

Fancy coming to the pub with me and
Catherine and her new fella.

Fantastic.

He's not my new fella.

Not yet.

I've got a date with Stella.

And I never thought I'd stood a chance
with her.

Ah, well, it wouldn't have happened in
my day. Well, that's after the block

If you could just distract them, just
for a moment.

I don't think so, Doctor.

Look, I promised you could see the
child. It's the only way she'd accept

treatment. If I let her down now, she
might not come back.

What about another cup of tea and we'll
let the doctor examine Anne?

Three, two, three.

We'll need some assistance up here.

Should we run, there's a difficulty
ourselves.

Leave this to us.

We'll take good care of him.

Right.

Thanks, Vince.

Forward, I think.

You missed me, little girl.

Come on, Paula, that's enough, right?

The doctor's still having a look at her.
Why don't you take a seat in the

waiting room?

And you, a woman of God.

Put her down.

You see what you did to this child?

Only weeks old and already she's been
tainted.

I never meant to hurt her. Give her
back. Give her to me.

I can hold her if I want.

You can't stop me. You gave her to us.
You agreed it was for the best.

You told me I could see her.

You promised I'd be able to see her and
you lied to me.

All you need is the money. You don't
care about her.

Have you just listened for a second?
What did you think you were doing

her here?

No court in the land would return that
child to a common prostitute.

Perhaps you'd care to explain what all
this is about, Doctor.

You can't play pass the parcel with a
baby.

I must insist that the authorities are
involved.

You mustn't. You can't. Please, I'll get
into trouble. I promise not to tell.

Yeah, call the police. I don't care.
Tell them what the tart gets up to every

night. I will not have these allegations
bandied around my hospital.

It's filthy and moral and disgusting and
she's not fit to be a mother. That's

enough!

Paula, you don't need to listen to this.
Come with me.

I just wanted what was best for my baby.

It'd be best for your baby if you just
disappeared. Get out of our lives and

hers and stay out.

Mr and Mrs Hale, if you'd like to come
to my office.

Paula, give me this, please.

Involve the police and the baby will be
taken into care. The mother questioned,

what could all that do? I received a
phone call this afternoon from a patient

concerned that one of our doctors was
frequenting a strip joint. I was there

professional reasons as well, you know.
Jeff, I advise you to be very careful.

Very careful indeed.

out of the water.

Let's find another way out.

Oh,

sister, you've not seen Paula, have you?
I left her in the waiting room with a

cup of tea.

Well, she's not there now.

The baby.

I, Paula Saundry, give my baby Anne to
be adopted by Ellen David Hale.

Please be kind to her. Tell her that her
mum loved her very much and will be

watching over her every night when she
sleeps.

Oh, no. What's she done?

We need to find her.

Hale! I'm going to need you!

Can you get that hatch open?

I'd rather not need her, if you please.

No time to wait for an ambulance. We'll
have to take my car.

This man told me only this morning
there's nothing he'd like better than a

in the vehicle.

He's going to get booted out as a
malingerer any second you mark my words.

Shh! She's going to see you dressed in
bed. Your blood pressure is within the

normal range, and I could find nothing
wrong with your heart.

I'm sorry for wasting your time, Doctor.

I'm afraid, though, that the test did
reveal that you have diabetes.

Teddy.

You what?

Your body is deficient in insulin, the
hormone which regulates the levels of

sugar in your blood. So I will be
prescribing insulin, which you're going

have to take every day.

You're going to have to reduce your
intake of alcohol. You're going to have

watch what you eat.

Diabetes? But the good news is that we
can manage this condition, OK?

So, if you pop back and see me tomorrow,
I will have drawn up a diet sheet for

you.

and we can just have a good chat about
your medication, how it's going to be

administered, and any questions you
might have, really.

What would have happened if you hadn't
found this out today?

Well, in my opinion, you have an awful
lot to thank Lizzie for.

So, what's the verdict, then?

I've got diabetes.

Thank you so much, Ken.

He's in shock!

internal bleeding. We need to get him
into bed straight away. Larkin Electrics

better not be malfunctioning again. I
shall have Carnegie's head in a basket.

No, Ken and Alan, big day.

My apologies. We've just sold all our
old factory sensors. All right, come on.

If you're some kind of novelty,

we're not.

We're looking for Paula.

Where is she?

You tell me.

Tell us or I'll get the police to wring
it out of you.

Please, this is very urgent.

I'll take your help.

Let's see what's causing this bleeding,
shall we? Scalpel, please.

Why don't you come and sit down?

I'll organise a cup of tea.

I'm not leaving here till we know.

Dad thought you were trying it on.

And you?

Well... He doesn't like me much, your
dad.

I'm his little princess, aren't I?

You can see his point.

I'm too old for you.

You've seen where I live.

It's hardly Castle Howard.

I'm a thick man, Lizzie. He could do
much better than me.

Blood on the abdomen here. Suction,
please, nurse.

Ah, nice little tear in the skin there.
We'll have to whip that out. Hot packs,

please, nurse.

Pull some blood pressure away, darling.

He's arresting.

He says to stall it.

Cardiac adrenaline, please, nurse.

We saw Strolley, please.

We have four minutes, everyone. Stand by
for deeper relation.

Clear?

Holy mother of all things.

Paula?

Paula, can you hear me?

What did she have to go into that for?

She's still with us, thank God. Pressure
bandages, please. Get an ambulance now.

How about Giovanni's tonight to
celebrate?

Your dad's got it in for me.

It would never work.

He couldn't stand me ex -husband at
first, but he got used to him.

And when I'm moving upstairs... You're
taking the fat?

We won't have him breathing down our
necks all the time, will we?

I'm more than happy to go out for dinner
with a broke, ancient diabetic.

If you don't mind going out with a
divorced, left -on -the -shelf woman,

wrong side of 21.

I'd be honoured.

Let me find you a place Where the curse
of the day will be carried

away By the smile on your face

We are together now and forever.

We've had three and a half minutes.

We're running out of time. And again.

Prepare to defibrillate.

Clear.

Silence rhythm.

Steady.

After all we've been through, I should
jolly well think so.

Let's close him up, shall we, nurse?

Get out.

That girl's like a daughter to me. Why
the hell did she try and kill herself

then? She had the kid adopted.

What else could she do? She wasn't
married, was she?

I did her a favour.

Take it from me.

That's the last you've seen of Paula
Saundry.

And the police will be keen to interview
you about your role in the adoption of

that child.

And with a bit of luck, they'll take an
interest in your other less volubious

business activities.

Cross me, you laddie. And you have a
fight on your hands.

Of course, match two units of own there,
please, lad.

He's a lucky boy.

If he hadn't been on hand, the prognosis
would have been quite different.

What do you think?

That you're going to go home and get
changed?

Oh, I'm only joking.

Billy, meet Alan and Stella.

Your chaperones.

Her mates.

Can't let us see a fellow without giving
him the once -over, can we?

So what are we doing, then?

How about pictures?

Trocadero's got those seats for courting
couples in back row.

Erm, yeah, but then we couldn't talk.

I'd sell for a drink.

I'd love to.

See, it's the carton cup as you're
pushing your luck.

You're joking! It was supposed to be a
double date, remember?

Oh, go on, then. You're biting.

The sisters run a charity in Scotland to
help girls in her position

get them back on their feet, you know.

See what I can do for them.

What about her daughter?

She's out of her hands now.

What must it be like, eh?

There's so many poor ones out there.

You can't help them all.

All we can do is our best.

All we can do is patch him up and send
him right back to their problems. We

don't make a difference.

That's for our Lord to do.

We just pick up the pieces.

Oh, I don't know, sister.

I don't know if I've got the stomach for
this anymore.

What is the point?
