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.

Thanks for putting me up.

Sure you're up to work.

I can't lock myself away forever, can I?

Nothing.

Oh, leave me alone.

Look, I'm just trying to do the right thing, that's all.

You're buying me off?

I don't think so.

I can't put you in Dr Goodwin's consulting room until he's gone, but

you in Dr Macquarie's. You won't mind, because she's in Africa.

Right. Thanks.

And I can't give you Dr Goodwin's patients yet, so you've nothing to do.

Apart from getting my bearings and settling in.

We can't do any of that without a lovely cup of tea. Do you fancy one?

You make me tea?

Oh, it's quite easy. You boil water, pour in these dried leaves.

I make Dr tea, not the other way round.

I won't tell anyone if you won't.

Hiya, Wolfe. Hiya.

Is Della all right?

Still really down.

I told her I'm sorry I brought him to the party, but she said it's her fault

walking off with my fella.

Well, if she hadn't have done, it could have been you.

Well, your blood pressure's still a little high.

It's no wonder.

Her ex -husband came in the pub again last night, caused a scene.

My husband?

We're not divorced yet, Doctor.

I treat her like a dog.

Don't be going out of the house.

I only had to smile at another bloke and he'd start creating.

She's still hanging round.

She's always in the pub when she's working.

Pestering her to have him back and that. That won't happen, love.

Well, I'm going to turn you off work for a week or two. I want you to rest. Take

it easy.

It's just a pity you can't write to one of them prescriptions, you know, to get

rid of him like.

We can't do a pregnancy test until you've actually missed a period.

No need.

I've got the curse left now.

All right, well, there's one less thing for you to worry about.

Look, I know the police weren't exactly sympathetic. I got drunk.

I let a stranger walk me home and I didn't even know his name.

No wonder they laughed me out of the police station.

It's just best to forget that this ever happened.

Best of luck, Doctor.

Oh, thank you.

Doctor Banner, this is Lily Metcalfe and Terry Pendleton.

Oh, hi.

Good to meet you.

You went to work?

They told me you were here, so what is it, eh?

What's wrong with you?

You. Out.

I'm talking to my wife.

Go away, Nick.

She only lost our baby because of you.

Baby?

You're having his.

Baby. Look, don't you get it?

She can't stand the sight of you, you spineless creep.

No chance!

Get away!

Come on! Come on!

Come on! It's all right.

Bloody for violence. Please, Tyron, calm down.

Don't listen to me. I'll take you back. Just come home. Stay away from me.

Take a deep breath. Take a deep breath, Nick.

Look at them.

Flooding themselves!

Tyron, come on. I'll turn your eye for you if you touch her again.

Understand? But you know I... Come on, into my consulting. Come on.

Why won't you leave me alone?

I can't eat.

I can't sleep.

I can't even think straight.

The kids, they're running rings around me at school. I'm way behind with the

syllabus. And we've got exams coming up in a matter of weeks. Look, Nick, I

think you're suffering from depression.

I'm going to prescribe some of the new tricyclic antidepressants.

They really will help you to deal with this a little better.

My life is nothing without a doctor.

He doesn't love her.

Not the way that I do.

I want to see you again in two weeks' time, all right?

Look, I know things seem bad at the moment, but they won't stay that way

forever.

Welcome aboard, Dr Banner.

You need to know anything, just that.

Thanks.

I've never worked with a nun before.

I like to watch my P's and Q's. I'll say the bridge is pretty unshockable.

Now, why does an attractive woman like her love herself away like that?

If you're harbouring any intent along the lines of the sound of music, I'd say

you're wasting your time. Ah, our new recruit.

The barrel's bottom has indeed been scraped.

Thank you, Mr Rose, for such an effusive and sincere welcome.

I very much look forward to working with you.

Good wind showing you the ropes.

Just getting my bearings.

You'd navigate more successfully with a decent haircut.

This fashion, for all things her suit, is unhygienic and alarming to patients

who wish to be seen by a doctor, rather than two ringleted hippies.

I'm a bit like Samson, Mr Rose. You cut this lot off and my intellectual

abilities evaporate.

Coffee, Doctor. Some kiddies had an accident up at Bellaby Hall.

I'll be right back.

You make yourself at home.

This way, Doctor.

Is that in the nursery?

She just won't stop crying.

We know his identity. We can pursue this, if you wish.

Even if I do report it, what then?

I can give them a statement about your injuries.

Alan was a witness to the attack.

And that'll make him take me seriously this time.

Stella, I'll be with you. I'll make sure of it.

Her name's Victoria.

She's nearly two.

And how long has her leg been like this?

I noticed it was swollen yesterday, but she's been terribly fractious and

grisly. She hasn't been eating.

Julia?

I wasn't expecting you until this evening.

I told my wife not to trouble you, Doctor. She's worrying unnecessarily.

Well, I don't think so.

Your daughter's injured her leg quite badly, by the look of it.

She never stops crying.

That's not normal.

Alex wasn't like that.

Because Alex is a boy, darling.

More robust.

Now, could you send for an ambulance for me, please?

You want to take her to hospital?

I'm going to need an x -ray of this leg.

He started out wanting to kiss me, and then he attacked me.

You didn't see fit to shout, struggle, run away.

I tried.

He was forcing me against the wall.

I examined her directly after the attack and there was absolutely no doubt in my

mind that she had been assaulted.

And at the time of the alleged assault, what were you wearing?

It was a fancy dress, a weightless Cleopatra.

Revealing, was it, this outfit?

Sorry, how relevant is this?

Relevant insofar as a scantily clad young woman, the worst for drink, might

trouble convincing a court that she has an accurate recollection of events.

How outrageous. A crime has been committed here, and you're going to sit

and do absolutely nothing. What's the point?

I never should have come back here. I told you they didn't believe me.

I want your personal assurance that you will follow this up.

We will go through the motions, Doctor, if you insist.

Yes, I do insist.

Yeah, but I'll tell you this.

It'll come to nothing.

It's her word against his in the end.

Right, just as it would be if it was your wife or your daughter in Stella's

position.

Thank you so much for your help.

You make me feel so ashamed.

I think it's me who's done something wrong.

His wording was yours.

But you don't matter.

Billy!

I bet you're back.

Back to the tomb.

Well, we had a hole full of cod, so we headed back early.

And... I was missing you.

How have you been?

Not so bad.

And the baby?

So how did you want to talk now?

The night before we sailed.

It was all too much to take in.

So you just set off for Iceland and left me to it?

Victor Rhodes is on the warpath, Cathy.

I've got to get back.

I've been thinking a lot about you. About us.

I'm really serious about me and you, Cathy.

Well, that's not like her.

Noah, you two are back together?

Yeah, it's five out to do with it.

Does Mr Carnegie know?

Who? Only, we all thought he was the father.

Carnegie?

Do you see that hairline crack on the femur?

I'm afraid your daughter's thigh has been fractured.

No.

Oh, my poor baby.

I told you something was wrong. How the hell has she done it?

Well, that's what I need to ask you.

I have no idea.

Perhaps she's bumped into something.

Her brother is very boisterous.

Alex wouldn't lay a finger on his sister.

It's the only explanation.

It's the only time this could have happened.

She can't open the door. She hasn't fallen down the stairs. He wouldn't

her.

Suddenly an expert on your own children.

I suppose it gave you and their nanny something in common.

I will have to admit, Victoria, if you could wait with her while I open this

bed.

Hello, my child.

Let me down easy Though your love for me is gone

Let me down so easy, babe

Carnegie, eh?

Lizzie let the cat out of the bag.

All this time she was in agony.

And I did nothing.

You mustn't blame yourself.

If you hadn't pursued her nanny with your usual single -minded determination,

we'd never have had to leave our children alone for a second.

And I wouldn't have had to spend all my waking hours convincing the staff that

our marriage isn't falling apart. I don't think this discussion is

darling. And I think it is.

Our baby's lying with a broken leg because you couldn't keep your hands to

yourself. Enough!

I was lonely.

It only happened once.

By the time you came back into my life, it was over.

And the baby isn't his.

I'm sure of my dates.

There's been nobody else.

Right.

So it's definitely mine.

I didn't get myself pregnant so I could trap you.

You're free to walk away from this baby and from me.

That's the last thing I want to do.

Look, we'll talk about it later.

I've got a fellow waiting for me in the callow, however it would be.

Your first night back on shore and you want to spend it in the pub. It's

business.

It won't wait.

Everything's going to be fine.

Trust me.

My wife's rather neurotic, Doctor.

Well, you could blame her.

Doctor, she's still very unsettled.

I don't think it's just the leg.

There seems to be something bothering her on her side.

See if we can catch the radio with her, Sister.

I think we need a full skeletal survey on little Victoria.

Oh, good grief.

Well,

that's my settling in over with.

Fancy drinks, mister?

I only take a drink on special occasions, doctor.

My first day not special enough?

No, I'm afraid not.

Well, you're popping on the way home. Pub's only round the corner.

Bet you're a demon on the dartboard.

I might just surprise you one day.

Mike, take a look at these.

Two -year -old child has been admitted with fractured thigh.

Discomfited in the rib area.

Tell me what you think.

Fractured ribs.

Healed. Fractured ribs.

Clavicle.

Tibia. She'd be in the walls.

Multiple broken bones and yet her parents didn't see fit to tell me.

There's nothing in her medical note either.

And there's definitely domestic tension.

Police came looking for me at work.

My boss wasn't happy.

And all because some little scrubber is guilty she went too far.

I'm sure you went too far.

No!

What was that?

I was just trying to stop her from telling lies to the police. She couldn't

defend herself the other night. She was drunk.

Yeah, and begging for it.

She didn't tell you that, did she?

Come on.

She's lying.

All right.

You had the attacker's details yesterday.

Why wasn't anything done, Detective Sergeant?

My officers interviewed the alleged assailant. He denied the attack.

Well, of course he did.

In this country, Doctor, we are unable to arrest an innocent citizen without

appropriate evidence.

What more evidence do you need?

Me lying in the mortuary?

That'll be all for now, Miss.

We'll keep you informed of any developments.

They're all fixed.

They're evasive.

Didn't report a previous injury.

There's emotional strain between them.

There's no sign of domestic violence.

And this study claims it's only found in the lower classes. They're at the other

end of the scale.

Could be the exception that proves the rule. Could be.

But you'd have to be 110 % certain before you make this kind of diagnosis.

It's a serious allegation.

Well, if it is the case, our brother's at risk too.

Yeah, but if it's not, you go in all guns blazing.

You're going to find yourself in deep water.

Can't I just wander away from casualty? It's Dr. Winkley being tired. We've all

got to sign it. Well, take a sec.

I'm at work, Billy.

I love you.

I've always loved you.

I want to be a father for our child.

I want to spend the rest of my life making you happy.

I waved my husband goodbye from the quayside a hundred times.

Spent months on my own, worried thick, every minute he was at sea.

And one day he never came back.

It'll be different for us. I've got a plan.

No.

I can't put myself through that again, or our baby.

I can't risk losing you.

I'm sorry, Billy.

I can't.

Am I to pursue my theatre nurse round the hospital on a daily basis?

Sorry, Mr. Rose.

Sorry, Billy.

Well, I'm not giving up that easily.

Would you give these to someone?

Put them in the vase.

Oh, secret admirer, is it, then?

Oh, you are a one, Doctor.

Oh, Dr Goodwin, I forgot.

She's been in your consulting room for ages.

Well, who had?

Dr Duval.

I thought so, too, for a while.

In Africa, you... You just disappeared.

No one could tell me anything. It was like... It was like you'd vanished off

face of the earth.

I had a narrow escape.

I wrote to you from Africa. I knew you would be worried.

I never got a letter.

I never... Never stopped wondering what had happened to you.

I'm flying back out there tomorrow. I was going to track you down.

Back to Africa?

So much to tell you. I can tell you over dinner or a drink.

It's so wonderful to see you.

Such a surprise.

I never in my wildest dreams thought you would just turn up on my doorstep.

I was on my way back home and I thought I'd drop in.

You always told me how beautiful this Yorkshire was.

It's a shame I'm leaving.

You could have stayed. I'd love to show you around.

That wouldn't be possible.

I catch the train to London tonight and I fly to France tomorrow.

A flying visit?

Let Monvay or Elson be. It's hardly a direct route, is it?

I had to see you.

Tell you something so important.

I'm pregnant.

You're going to be a father, Jeff.

It's a floating pleasure palace. They use it for dinner dances and tourist

out. My nephew's mate's done us a deal.

Matron, could you and Mr. Old make sure Dr. Goodwin gets down to the harbour in

time for a surprise party?

We'll do our best.

But why does everything have to be with the cloak and dagger? Good afternoon,

Royal. Well, if he knew we'd organised a do for him, he'd run a mile.

I don't like any fuss, he reckons.

It's the police, Doctor.

Lily Metcalfe's been attacked with a knife up at Eycliffe Farm.

Tell the police I'm on my way.

I had a stomach complaint from the water.

The contraceptive pill is far from foolproof.

Are you sure you want to keep it?

Of course.

The timing couldn't be worse.

Your career.

Babies.

Babies change everything.

It will cause me some difficulty.

My job in France may not be open to me any longer when my condition becomes

apparent.

I'm so sorry.

Where I come from,

Certain standards are expected of a doctor.

An unmarried woman with a baby, she loses her respectability.

My family too will think I have let them down.

And myself.

What is it you want me to do?

That's up to you.

You had a right to know about your child, but... You have your own life to

and I have mine.

Oh, sorry to interrupt, Doctor, but the little girl with the broken leg, her

parents are kicking up a stink.

I'll be right there, Lizzie.

I'll come straight back when I've... You still have things to discuss?

We haven't even scratched the surface.

There was a 999 call from Lily Metcalf.

She says her ex -husband's broken into the house. He's acting aggressive.

Told the operator he had a knife and then the line went dead. Dear God, you

she's still in there?

Why the hell haven't you gone in?

There's reason to believe the suspect has access to firearms.

What's happened?

Sir, have you got any guns in the house?

He's got a... Sir!

Calm down.

He's got Lily.

He only left her for an hour.

Sir!

Terry!

Hold my gun down.

If I can have her.

I'm pumped if you can.

I wish everyone would do the tough things at home.

The idea how brave he was to pull you like that.

Come on, take care of him now, Catherine. For our sake, if not your

Seem determined to get rid of you, you mate.

No need to feel guilty, Billy. I mean what I said.

Will you just listen?

Please.

I've sold the trawler, Cathy.

We can use the money to start a new life together.

In Australia.

What?

Ten pounds buys your passage, then you make your own way.

By Christmas, we could be in Sydney, Australia.

But the trawler, you... You love the sea, Billy. It's your life.

You mean that much to me.

I want things to be different for us.

You'll never have to stand on a quayside worrying yourself sick again.

Please, Kathy.

Will you marry me?

Yes.

I love you, Billy.

And I love you.

Choke onto the chest.

You've stood a chance.

And there's no way of getting to Lily.

We will run.

You know this fella, don't you?

Rex. He's my patient, yes.

Well, how about you go in and have a chat with him?

What? And get blown away like he did? Yeah, if we set foot through that door,

that's what would happen.

But he trusts you, Doctor.

What's the alternative?

Firearms unit coming over from York.

And if Lily's still alive, we don't have the luxury of time.

OK, I'll do it.

X -rays have shown several healed fractures to your daughter's ribcage,

collarbone and arm, none of which feature in her medical records.

Were you aware of these injuries?

Fractures? The pain would have been severe whenever you picked her up, fed

held her.

Oh. And you didn't notice.

Jeff.

You think we've harmed our own child?

Have you?

We'll see about this.

I'll see you in court as your prerogative.

Lily?

Nick?

I slammed the door when I came home.

You've got Terry's shotgun.

It'll be all right, Lily.

What have I done, Doctor?

Why should he have her and not me?

Please.

Let me get her to a hospital, Nick.

Think of her baby.

His baby.

If you have any love for her at all, you won't let her die.

Frankie! No, please!

Just Frankie.

I

received

a complaint, Jeff.

Look, it's a syndrome that's only recently been identified.

That's a baby.

Believe it or not.

Parents can actually inflict criminal injuries to their own flesh and blood.

Are you sure? I mean, these seem like respectable people.

Well, the husband's been having an affair with a nanny.

All too easy to take frustrations out on an innocent victim.

It all seems to fit, but if they're guilty, they're damn good actors.

Well, he's a barrister, and he's threatening to sue the hospital and have

struck off.

Well, I'd like to see him try.

What appears to be the problem, gentlemen?

The parents of a patient have requested a second opinion.

Care to tell me more?

Why did you have to make me do it?

Slowly and quietly, Frankie.

Nick's not going to hurt you.

Are you, Nick?

Just get on with it.

Okay, pressure bandages.

We need to stop this bleeding.

I'll cut down from every one and set up the drip. Quick as you can, please,

Frankie.

Okay.

Okay, sail on. If

you'd like to

observe this child's sclera, Doctor.

Do you see a bluish tinge, maybe?

It's only very faint, but... Yes, I can see it.

I conclude this child has not been assaulted.

She appears to be suffering from fragilitas osseum.

The more modern term is osteogenesis imperfecta, or brittle bone disease.

Underneath that bird's nest, there appears to lurk a fully functioning

brain, Dr. Banner.

Thank you, Mr. Rose.

Hence the history of fracture, which may have been caused by something as simple

as a child rolling over or crawling into the furniture.

So Alex, my son... May have damaged her in play.

It's also possible that you, your husband, or your staff may have done so

unwittingly.

I can't tell you how sorry I am.

I only had the child's birth in 2012.

I warned her

about other men.

I told her something like this was going to happen.

She didn't think I'd ever have the guts to do it.

So now you've shown her.

Why don't you put the gun down, Nick? You don't know the half of it. My own

wife!

She's floating herself behind some public bar, sleeping with another man!

Look, we can talk, Nick.

I know you've not been well.

I know how much you've suffered.

But we can.

We can sort something out.

You come any closer, I'm going to blow myself away.

I mean it, Doctor.

All right.

The condition is hereditary, though it can skip a generation.

Not in my family.

Anthony? I remember an aunt on father's side. She died very young.

And will she die too, my little girl?

You will have to wrap her in the proverbial cotton wool.

But the prognosis is good.

Many of these children show dramatic improvement by the time they reach

adolescence.

And you thought we'd be low enough to hurt our own daughter?

My sincere apologies.

I was only trying to do my job.

How could I have got it so wrong?

Easy enough mistake to make.

No harm, darling.

You see, I've had some news.

I'm going to be a father myself.

Congratulations. Well, I only just found out, and it's a bit of a bolt from the

blue. I wasn't aware of the existence of a Mrs Goodwin.

There isn't a Mrs Goodwin.

How very modern.

Aren't you off to Africa tomorrow?

I'm meant to be.

I don't know.

I don't know what I'm going to do.

Still, impending fatherhood, eh?

All the more reason for tonight's festivities.

Tonight's what?

Oh.

Pulse is 120, weak and thready.

Stab wounds to the stomach and the left arm.

Abner of a distender says there's an internal hemorrhage. Let's stop this

bleeding. Straighten his head, please.

Frankie, why didn't Gordon come back with you?

He's still at the house with her husband.

What? I'm sure he'll be fine. He said the guy trusted him.

I'm only trying to help, Nick.

The kid's at school.

I've heard them mocking me.

His third wife's left him.

Living over the brush with another bloke.

I can't let that hit him.

Yes, you can.

Show them who's boss, eh?

You have indeed.

It's that Terry.

He's always sneering at me.

Just because he got her pregnant.

We tried for two years for a baby.

Why him?

have a proper chat.

I can't live without a doctor.

Lily's going to be fine, Nick.

And after she's better, she's going to need you more than ever.

Isn't she?

Just give me her down, Nick.

That's a good man.

It's all right. Come on.

Come on.

It's okay.

Lucky the knife only penetrated as far as his spleen.

If he'd managed to damage the liver, it would have been a different story.

And the baby?

It's a damn shame.

But he's young enough.

There'll be other babies.

Two lives lost and for what, eh?

Summer couldn't take no for an answer. She said he was making a nuisance of

himself. I don't think.

How could you have predicted this?

A message for your doctor. She said I had to hand it to you personally.

Who? Your visitor.

She's gone?

About half an hour ago.

Gone where?

She never said, but she looked really fed up.

Like she'd been crying.

I don't know what you were thinking, Uncle.

Jill!

Hold on!

What about me, Gordon?

Hey, what about your family?

Do we not matter?

Of course you do. Right, so why would you wander nonchalantly into a house

containing a dangerous, shotgun -wielding murderer?

I hadn't time to think it just happened.

I could have lost you, Gordon.

Please don't ever... ever do that to me again.

Where's Stella got to, anyway?

She went for a walk. Went to bed around for a bit.

I'll need to give you my notice.

Me and Billy, we're getting married.

To go to Australia.

My warmest congratulations.

Nurses make very capable wives, you know.

Dependable, practical, always calm in a crisis.

Abast there, my hearties.

Abandon all hope, you landlubbers.

What did you do with Dr Goodwin?

I keep going over it all in my head.

And it wasn't my fault.

Did I lead him on?

Did I bring all this on myself?

No. No, you didn't. He had no right to do what he did.

You know, I might have to stand up and go and tell everybody what happened.

And my dad will find out.

And then the people will know and people will start talking.

And I just don't think that could go.

You'll overcome this, Stella.

You're happy with a wife. He's won.

He's taken enough from you already.

Don't.

Don't make him take your life as well.

You should be at your party.

Why aren't you at your party?

Well, like you, I've got a few things on my mind.

Come on.

No. Please, Stella.

If only I could tell Mum I'm going to be late. I'd be like that without me.

Where are you going?

To try and catch the train to London.

I'll be back.

So, I suppose congratulations are in order.

I suppose they are.

I would have stood by you, you know.

But you didn't have to.

Well, I hope the two of you will be very happy together.

We will be.

Come on.

Stella. I'm really sorry.

Yeah, not half as sorry as I am.

I thought he was a mate.

He's not. Not anymore.

It's okay, Frankie.

Come on, Stella.

Kathy's getting married. Here, have a drink.

Could it stop the sunrise,

hearing you weep?

You're not seen, you're not heard,

but I stand by my word.

Came a thousand miles just to catch you while you smile.

When do we set sail, Ken?

A guest of honour arrives.

He said he would come in.

How far are we going, Dad?

Not much of a pleasure cruise in the dark, is it?

Well, there's a slight problem with the actual sailing part of the cruise.

Like what?

Well, we've got the boat cheap because it's in with engine trouble.

We're not sailing anywhere.

Hooray! I was rather looking forward to the smell of the brine in.

Oh, well, it appears we'll have to make do with the fragrance of the fishing

fleet.

Well, as we await the arrival of our guest of honour.

A toast, ladies and gentlemen.

Romance.

Happy endings.

New beginnings.

And soon to be absent friends.

Absent. I told you not to come here.

I know you can manage on your own.

I did read your note.

So we both agree on something.

I can't let you leave, not like this.

Why not?

You're going back to Africa. You have your brilliant career.

You've made it when you are not interested in me or my baby.

I never said that.

You didn't have to.

Please, Therese.

You're the most incredible and independent woman I have ever met.

How did I know your plans for the future would ever include me?

How do you think I traveled all this way to see you?

I wanted my child to have a father, Jo.

The hell didn't you say so?

I want to be a father to our child.

I will be a father to our child.

I'm distanced from Africa.

I'll delay my trip.

I'll come back with you to France to meet your parents.

Find somewhere to live.

Then I'll go to Africa.

And come back.

I want to be there when our baby's born.

I want to be a part of their lives.

Africa, France, England.

Or Mars.

Wherever life takes us.
