Original subtitles

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

Someone to make me feel, make me feel alive.

Somebody help me, yeah.

Somebody help me now.

Oh, don't somebody tell me what I've done wrong.

Everybody knows he's the greatest benefactor of mankind.

Follow Mr.

Apollo.

Everybody knows that a healthy body makes a healthy mind. Hey, pal, give me

hand. Sorry, pal, emergency.

Pregnant? Who's the father?

That's the juicy bit.

I reckon it's Mr Carney.

Any chance of some assistance, or should I get Tom to trot them down to catch

them? Alan, wheelchair.

Riding accident, she's hurt her leg. I think they gathered that.

Lady Isabella, what the devil have you been up to?

Mr Rose.

So it really is my lucky day.

You sure you didn't come across for on purpose?

Wait over there.

Wait there all day, if you like.

Thanks, love.

I'm sorry to be a burden.

Yes, well, if all our patients made as little fuss as you, our job would be a

lot easier.

Oh, don't believe that, Doctor.

It can't be easy watching people suffer.

Why?

One, two, three.

We picked them ourselves.

They're beautiful.

Mrs. Alice ain't too happy about the state of a garden, mind. Go on, go get

to your mum.

Might not be back in the saddle for a while, I'm afraid.

Your range was of x -rays, Nurse Davenport.

Mr. Rose?

You do know you're dealing with my patient?

No need to thank me.

Besides, I suspect my services may be required.

Broken ankle needs pinning, by the look of it.

Excuse me.

I've got a false injury for you.

Would you like me to take a look at it? That will make the most of me while I'm

here.

Then again,

I didn't want to outstay my welcome.

Can't I, Will?

It will take time to adjust, Jimmy.

We've got big changes ahead.

I want this little chat's about.

See if I'm up to it.

No, no.

It's not like that, but there are practical considerations.

Marie brought in the money.

I'll put food on the table.

I've been wasting on booze. I'll pay for that.

I'll not touch another drop.

I swear.

Jimmy, wait.

Look, you have to know there are agencies that can offer help.

Grants, maybe.

I'll look into it.

And that's for controlling your drinking. Jimmy!

You have to join Alcoholics Anonymous.

No need.

I'm not going to let our kids down.

For Marie's sake.

Fine horsewoman.

Always thought so.

Malleola fixation screw, please.

Mind you, Bertie had a good eye for the thoroughbreds.

She was devastated when the old boy shuffled off.

Well, it's always on the cards if you marry someone old enough to be a father.

He was a good man.

This place would be a sight worse off if it wasn't for his donations over the

years. Bertie had deep pockets and wasn't afraid of dipping into them.

I wonder what ladies are better for him.

Ever ridden a racehorse, Lizzie?

Me? No.

A couple of donkeys.

Yeah, well, you wouldn't catch me on one of those things.

No brake, no steering.

Down to any tears.

Get it, Frankie?

No. Just like it's been controlled.

You've got to take control.

Nothing wrong with taking the odd risk.

Bites of life, that is.

I suppose you'll be coming to collect Lady Isabella sometime?

Yeah, I'll be back.

Getting to like it round here.

Hey, it's a bit of a dish.

Oh, I know.

Oh, so anyway, what's this idea about Catherine?

Metatarsal. It's one of the main bones in the foot.

Never heard of it.

Broken, is it?

No. No, it's fractured, but you will need to rest it for a couple of days to

reduce the swelling, and it will be at least a month before you can walk

it today. All right.

Ruddy cow!

I don't think there's any need for that.

No, not me, Pitchin. He had a bit of a run -in with a cow at market.

Has anyone seen my bag?

I left it in Tambulance. Let's see if I can find it.

What?

That rat, is it?

Never mind.

It'll probably have gone by time anaesthetic wears off.

Are you, er, are you all right?

Yes, of course I am.

Grubby children.

I think their parents will turn a hose on them.

Maybe they've got other things on their mind.

Dave, have a look everywhere for that.

You've opened it.

I never. Why is it yours?

Hey, I must be going mad.

I swear I've just seen a rat.

A white one.

Which way did they go, Alan?

You let them out.

Why? I didn't.

Wicked.

Don't worry, Alan. I believe you, mate. I just hope Maitland doesn't.

Is that Mr Partridge's bag?

Are you all right, Alan?

Is there a problem?

Kirsten, I can't stop. I'm running an errand for my lady.

My lady?

My dear Isabella Martindale, to be precise.

Well, no one told me she was here. I'd better go and see her. I don't think so.

She needs to rest.

Yes, of course.

I'm pleased to make sure that she has everything she needs.

Right. I'd better get on with it, then.

Well, it looks all right. You've panicked.

Imagine, I think I let them out.

He looks as if he's got to be now.

You've done nothing wrong.

Well, at least you hadn't, though, you daft ape.

Lie on me, sweetheart.

Finish with the drink.

Better take the kids home.

Won't let you down.

He's here now. Come on.

We'll find them, don't worry.

We're doing you a favour, really.

So, er, you'll keep it under your hat, then?

No pointing cause interruptions, I suppose.

Just the two of them?

Pets, are they?

Aye.

Thought it might be nice to have a bit of company.

Been a bit quiet at home since the wife passed on.

Well, the

fact is...

You've done everything for Jimmy.

Who knows?

He maybe had a rise to the challenge, but... He won't change, Doctor.

He's never managed it before.

There's no other way.

I...

Put the kids into care.

Caught any rats lately?

Not one.

We were here till after dark last night.

One day I'll find out we did let those blasted things out.

Wish we hadn't. Hey, up.

Ken, Alan, can I help you today?

You've got to be all right.

There's a few things I need to do before we go out this afternoon.

No problem. We can do it with the help. Come on, follow us.

She's had a restless night, Doctor.

The pain's still breaking through.

Well, increase the diamorphine to 30 milligrams.

It's pretty high, but there's no point in her suffering.

I have a feeling that the next couple of doses may see her out.

I thought she'd be around forever.

She can't die.

I mean, where's the sense in that?

At least you'll have the chance to say goodbye.

A lot of people don't get that.

Marie has been giving, well, a lot of thought to what should happen to the

children after she's gone.

She wants to have the children taken into care.

What?

Four young children.

There's a lot to handle.

It's the drugs it's got to be.

It's what she wants.

She's dying.

She won't even be here. What about what I want?

OK, so we'll get you up on crutches, just so you can get used to them, and

a bit of luck, you should be able to leave tomorrow.

Oh, just another 24 hours to endure, then.

It wouldn't be so bad if Mr Rose didn't keep popping in every five minutes.

Lady Isabella, Adam Carnegie, hospital secretary.

Now that's more like it.

Let's hope we find the other one before Mayton rumbles us.

Something I should know, Ken.

Hi.

Lady Isabella.

Anything's got to be better than hospital food.

She's a fussy one.

We get five -star treatment on then private ward.

Three choices for lunch, you know.

Actually, it wasn't her idea.

Do you think it's good to come and see the beautiful receptionist?

I'm fond of a picnic myself.

Oh, you know.

Although I've been away so many lonely nights You know I'm back today

I'm back to stay in your arms.

And though I've been around and lived a life, I said I love you, no without you.

Honey, all I do is worth nothing.

And girl, don't cry.

Because I love you.

All of you.

Why can't we stay with them?

We just can have a little chat.

Daddy will come and get you afterwards.

Mummy won't.

Your late husband did a lot to help this hospital. I hope you can see it's a

cause worth reporting.

Do I detect ulterior motives, Adam?

Put me up?

Get me signing the cheques?

I wouldn't say no.

What would you do with a large donation?

Assuming that I was thinking of carrying on my birthday left off.

Easy. I'd expand.

I'd build more private wards, make them better facilitated, more comfortable.

Pandering to the privileged.

Well, the revenue would be ploughed back into the hospital.

I'd simply be relieving the wealthy of the riches for the benefit of all.

How very Robin Hood of you.

Now all you've got to do is to persuade me to stump up the cash.

I thought it was just the two of us.

Well, she can't have invited herself along, you know. Sounds a bit pushy,

doesn't she?

Frankie, fancy a night out tonight?

Yeah, go on then. Just let me know where I'm at.

Someone for Stella to talk to.

Wouldn't want her feeling like a gooseberry.

Great. Good idea. Well, I'll pick up at eight.

Can you let Dr Macquarie know I'm here?

Certainly, madam.

Who shall I say?

Mother.

Yes, it is your mother.

I thought one of us should make the effort.

Jill Wetherill.

Hello. I work with Joan.

Aha. I shouldn't think you're best pleased with her either, then.

Well, actually, Joan is... She's coming for dinner tonight.

You're welcome to join us. I would be delighted.

Excellent.

Great.

I wish... I wish there was another way.

I wish there was.

What, there are other kids?

I should look after him.

You'll always be their dad.

Wherever they are, you'll still be able to see them.

For the best.

How can it be for the best?

You shouldn't even be in here.

The children.

Encourage me, please.

They will.

If that's what you want.

You're a good one, Jimmy Beatty.

I love you.

You deserve so much more than I've ever given you, Mary.

I've always loved you.

And I should have told you more.

I've been nothing without you and I...

Dr. Omrod.

I'm not ready.

Taking a child to Africa with a man who means I don't know what to you. It is

madness, Joan.

I am going to work with Médecins Sans Frontières.

I'd be going even if it weren't for Jeff Linketty.

What is the point?

I'm leaving tomorrow. If you can't accept it, you might as well go home.

I can't. I've got a dinner invitation.

I presume Jeff will be there?

Oh, he's thought of everything.

He looks fantastic.

Thank you. So do you.

Is there somewhere I can freshen up?

Yes, there's a shower in by the twinkle.

Pool? Should have brought my bikini.

Darn it, that's the one thing I didn't think of.

All the people down the street, whoever you meet, say I'm a bad boy.

Say I'm a bad boy.

Say I'm a bad boy. A bit of preparation.

Even dear old dad, when he gets mad, says I'm a bad boy.

Says I'm a bad boy.

Says I'm a bad boy.

So much in love.

So crazy in love.

Crack that open, would you?

She's pretty excited to go to Cameroon.

It's important for me to be with my own people.

Because I like England.

A lot.

Good. Well, I hope you come and see us all again very, very soon.

I'm sure she will. It is not suitable to live here.

It was suitable for you.

Have you not flourished in this great country?

All the more reason for me to give something back.

I'm lucky to have the opportunity.

I would have thought you'd be pleased for me.

All's fair in love and croquet, Frankie.

There we go.

Right. One, two, three.

Well,

I never knew staying in hospital could be so much fun.

Well, we do like to give value for money.

Is money all you ever think about, Adam?

No.

There are other things.

I'm relieved to hear it.

I'll see you in the morning.

Good night, my lady.

You were flirting from the moment you got in the car.

Me? You threw yourself at him that much. I'm surprised he didn't fall over.

Hands off, that's all.

I saw him first.

Yes, well, if you'd have met me first, you wouldn't have even got a looky.

Hey.

Hey.

What's got into you two?

Man trouble.

They've both fallen for the same bloke.

Well, there's no need to come to blows over it, is there?

Which one of you does he like?

Me!

Hey, I wonder if girls have ever fought over me like that.

I mean, you wouldn't necessarily know, would you?

Happens all the time, I should think.

That was an interesting dinner last night.

I thought Joan was heading off to a war zone and not leaving one behind. Is she

on any better terms with Safi this morning?

Apparently not.

I'd say diplomatic relations have been well and truly terminated.

And speaking of war zones, have you heard anything from your friend out

Not a word.

We've searched the place from top to bottom. It has definitely gone.

So that's that, then.

No, you're going to have to go down to the pet shop and get another rat.

Another one? Yes.

Norman goes home today. He's going to want two rats.

Still no sign of him.

Father Sean.

Father Sean, if you've heard nothing, then you can't delay the service.

Here they come.

Where's Jimmy?

She knew I'd be back in here, you know.

At least I'm living up to expectations.

Your children are at the church.

By themselves.

Saying goodbye?

Just when I'm back.

Look.

This is going to take time to come to terms with.

But they still have you, Jimmy.

I need you.

But not like this.

Why don't I make a few arrangements?

Talk to the childcare officer.

I've told you.

We'll be all right.

I just need more time, that's all.

Oh, Lizzie, could you let me know when Dr Macquarie gets here? She's bringing

Keshi in on the way to the station.

Of course.

Oh, I'm going to miss seeing the little one around the place.

Yeah, so am I.

I think you and Dr Macquarie are very brave, you know, going back to Africa.

Oh, thanks.

It's plain stupid if you listen to Joan's mother.

Well, I didn't like to say.

Lizzie, can you call Lady Isabella's driver?

She's ready to come by.

I think I can manage that.

I know what's on her mind.

Yeah, I'd heard a rumor. Can't imagine where it started.

The changing of sunlight to moonlight

Reflections of my life Oh,

how they feel

Looking for answers in the bottom of the glass.

Mrs

Macquarie.

Well, Joan will be pleased to hear... I've come to see you, not her.

What is it you want from my daughter?

A mother for Nkeshi? Is that it?

No.

We just want to use our skills where they'll do the most good.

When I told Joan about the suffering I saw in Biafra, she... I know all about

suffering.

Joan's father and I went through hell in Africa. That is why we got her out.

I know that you're worried about her. Of course I'm worried about her. She's the

only daughter I've got.

I understand.

But it's not your protection that she needs, it's your support.

I think I know what my own daughter needs.

But have you stopped to think about what she feels?

Why are you scared?

Vulnerable.

You know, you can't stop her from going.

But you can make her feel a whole lot better about it.

That's what she needs from you now.

Before it's too late.

Hello.

OK, Lizzie, I'll be right there, thank you.

Well, they're here.

Why didn't you grab hold of it? Do I look stupid?

It's a rat.

Lizzie, it's a pet rat.

Where'd it go?

Timbuktu, for all I care.

It shot out the front door when Mrs Higginbottom came in. Didn't do her art

condition any favours, I can tell you.

I've never been on a train before.

Yes, you are.

Now, you're going to go with Joan, and then I'm going to... And you will come

and join us. I know. You've told me a hundred times.

Come on.

Lizzie said my mother was here.

She was, but I don't know where she went.

The taxi's waiting.

She can't be bothered. I can't.

Are you really going to leave without saying goodbye?

I don't want to fuss.

I'd rather slip away.

Are you all right, Janet?

Sure.

I'll give you a call when we get there.

Sure.

Wait for me!

Mum!

I had to powder my nose.

I want to look my best to see my girl off.

I'm proud of you, Joan.

I forgot to tell you that.

We'll cut then.

Hey, I'm back.

Bye, Joe.

Bye. Bye.

Bye.

Can I have a moment, please? What? Oh, don't worry. Lady Isabella hasn't come

yet. No, no. Actually, I mean with... You.

Come on.

This isn't fair on the children.

You're in no fit state.

Mr Beasley, please.

Jimmy, you can't do this.

We've got to stop them.

There's nothing we can do now.

It's over to the authorities.

Why are some people so rude?

Maybe because he's buried his wife today.

What, they're children's mother?

Awful.

Sorry, Mary was very popular here. We're all a bit upset. Of course, I'm sorry.

Come on.

Jimmy, what are you doing?

Come on, Cass.

Oi.

Stop messing those girls around. I know what you're doing.

Oh, really? And what's that?

Playing them off each other.

Dangle the carrot, then let them fight over it.

You don't even care who wins, do you? You just say as you do in all the

As dark as you look.

So what's the problem?

Jealous?

I'm watching you.

Great.

Perhaps you might learn something.

Trouble?

Nothing I can't handle.

It's just bad news.

But it's Lizzie I'd be worried about if I were you, the way he's been talking

about her.

Why? And what's he been saying?

Well, saying she was easy.

And what's more?

Never report her around when you need one, eh?

I want a word with you about my Lizzie. Steady on ground ahead. A bit young for

you, isn't she?

Homer! Hobkirk!

Mr Carnegie, I can explain.

Don't bother.

You're sacked.

You can't do that. I can, and I have.

I'm sorry about that. It's hardly the image of the royal that I wanted it to

I don't suppose image matters to those poor children.

I'm sorry?

The ones whose mother died.

I thought she was very popular here.

It would be awful to lose a patient you've got close to.

Yes, it's terrible.

Dr Weatherall's contacted the child care officer, so they should act pretty

swiftly.

Will it be swift enough?

Those children are at risk now.

We can't just leave them.

And Jimmy's not going to take kindly to having the welfare department turn up on

his doorstep, is he?

We'd better go now.

I will not tolerate behaviour like that, Matron, and frankly I'm surprised to

hear that you would.

Ken Hopkirk is hardly a man given to random acts of violence. I'm sure he has

perfectly good explanation. I'm sorry, Matron, but this is not up for

discussion.

Oh, Matron, you knew my late husband, didn't you?

Oh, yes, through his involvement with the hospital. Perfect.

Could I pick your brain?

Of course.

Come to my office. Thank you.

You got one then.

Good.

The other one did a runner.

What happened?

Did you hit that bloke?

They lost me, Reg.

No excuse for it.

Can't sack you, though.

Maybe it's time I went.

Time for a change.

I don't want you to go.

I'm saying to you, go on, get out!

Get out the lot of you!

Ah, come in.

I won't beat about the bush, Adam.

I want to make a donation.

Excellent.

There's a catch.

I'm going to place the money in the middle ditch, private.

Matron will have control of the funds.

I think you know what that means.

No development for the private wards. I'll have to find my funds elsewhere.

Now, this Mr.

Hopkirk... I've been hearing very good things about him.

How did he look?

They're in there.

But he can't go.

I think they're, like, losing a leg.

You'll cope.

You've got a future ahead of you. I'm on a scrappy.

I'm sure I bought a male and a female.

Look. Two lads?

Yeah, if you say so, Norman. Not my speciality.

Hey!

I'll call them Ken and Alan.

Hope they make as good a team as you do.

Look!

Make sure the power forgets to be cool. And I'm... Jimmy could still be in

there.

Ken.

It's Mr Hopkirk to you.

I don't work here anymore, remember?

Look, I may have been a little hasty.

The job's still yours if you want it.

Oh.

Do I get an apology?

No. Do you want your job?

Yes, please.

Get on with it, then.

It's good to be back.

Yeah, but you never actually left the premises.

Close enough, son.

Close enough.

Tettle, Lizzie.

Get that stretcher over here, okay?

No, Dr. Omrod!

Jimmy! Jimmy!

Jimmy! Can you hear me?

Jimmy!

Get over this for me, mate.

Stay by the phone, Susie.
