All language subtitles for The Royal s06e07 Starting Over

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

Someone to make me feel, make me feel
alright.

Somebody help me, yeah.

Somebody help me now.

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

I'm Marion.

Marion McKeague.

I'm the new nurse.

And you're a new roommate.

Pleased to meet you.

I'm sorry, Nurse Davenport, but there
are no other rooms available.

I had no choice.

She frightened the life out of me. I
thought that it was... Yes.

Well, I didn't want to wake you,
considering you...

We've just finished a late shift.

I did ask her to be quiet.

If another room becomes available, we'll
move her out.

But until then, you'll just have to make
the best of it.

Ah, Detective Sargent.

Can I be of any help?

Actually, it's Miss Dovenport I need to
see.

Is there someone we can talk?

How long have you been here for?

Forever. And you'll have to enjoy it.

Let's say it's got its perks.

Hey, that's Bobby Horrocks.

All the talent scouts are after him.

What, is he an actor?

He's a footballer.

Leeds, Manchester, Bolton, they're all
trying to find him.

That lad's got the world at his feet and
he's just biding his time before he

decides who to sign for.

Great position to be in, eh?

Hey, I could be in a good position
myself.

I could make a few bob if I find out who
he's going to sign for.

Mr Horrocks, let's come through.

Court.

I thought you said you didn't have
enough to go on.

As we're taking statements from your
colleagues, I'm sure all that will

The ones that were there, Francis
Robinson, Alan Morris and Elizabeth

Are they working today, I mentioned?

Yes.

We'll need to speak to them.

Still, I'm at you, but I'm looking to
sign with one of the bigger clubs next

month if I can find out what's wrong
with me.

I think I need a tonic or something.

Right, what sort of symptoms have you
been having?

Tired, out of breath.

I can't train anywhere near like I used
to.

Anything else?

Nothing.

Can I have a look at your leg?

It's just some insect bites.

I don't think they're insect bites.

Have you had any sort of infection? Have
you had rheumatic fever?

No. I did have quite a sore throat the
other week, but it cleared up.

Right.

Hey, Ken.

Guess who I've got in here?

The Dalai Lama.

Try again.

I won't give up.

Split down the riverbank, twisted his
ankle, trying to land a fish.

I caught him, though.

Mr Middleditch. Hello, Ken.

Give me a hand here.

Thank you very much, all of you.

Thank you.

Um, erythema nodosum.

It's a skin condition caused by an
allergic reaction to changes in your

think streptococcal infection may have
triggered it. Your sore throat.

Is it serious?

It can be.

Yes, it can lead to other things. Have
you been feeling tired over all sore

joints? Yeah.

Yeah, especially in my legs.

Right, well, I'd like to keep you in
with some more tea. It's just to be on

safe side.

Look, what is there to be scared of?

I just don't like talking to the police,
Alan. They always make me feel guilty.

Besides that, I feel bad for not
believing Stella in the first place.

If anyone should be feeling guilty, it's
me.

I introduced him.

Yeah, well, I'm going to tell him
exactly what I saw.

I want this bloke locked away before he
attacks someone else.

I haven't yet stopped thinking about it
since it happened.

It could quite easily have been me.

Well, it wasn't you, was it?

Hmm.

Well, you don't have to go to these sort
of lengths to come face a visit, you

know.

I'll bear that in mind, Doctor.

Yeah, well, since you're here, we might
as well make you comfortable.

Perhaps we should keep you in overnight,
Doctor, just to be on the safe side.

No, I am absolutely fine. There's really
no need.

You let us be the judge of that.

You're not a spring chicken any more.

More of an old goat, eh?

And a stubborn one at that. Come on.

Lizzie? My lights are up. Yes, Doctor,
there's a lady in reception.

I've been trying to keep her calm, but
she's seen a doctor now.

This is Dr Banner. Hi. How can I help?
It's my little girl, Skye. I think

there's something seriously wrong with
her.

She got sick a couple of days ago and
we've tried to treat her, but she's got

worse. OK. Where is she?

Up in the moors.

It's where we live. We've got a
community up there.

We try and keep ourselves to ourselves.

You said you treated her with what
exactly?

A natural remedy, something for her
fever.

We believe in homeopathy.

But it's done no good.

Gideon won't allow the guy to visit a
hospital.

He's her father.

He started the community a few years
back.

He doesn't know I'm here, but when he
finds out... I'll get my bag.

There we go, Mr Middleditch.

Right, OK.

Now then, I'll get this in the fridge.

We don't want it going off now, do we?
Not after all the trouble I had trying

land him, no.

Right, well, I'll be back in a few
minutes with a nice cup of tea. Milk and

sugars, yeah?

Yes, you can.

What are you going to do with that?

What's it got to do with you?

Well, I was wondering if I could borrow
it, just for a couple of hours.

What do you want to borrow it for?

Rather than say.

All right.

All right, all right, all right. Come
here a minute.

We're men of the world, right?

Mm -hm.

Know how I got this?

I told the doctor I slipped and banged
my head.

My girlfriend belted me with a pot.

What's that got to do with fish?

Well, she did it cos I won't leave the
wife for her. Now, the missus is going

be in at visiting time. She's already
suspicious.

I'm going to need an alibi.

I was thinking, if I could borrow the
fish, that fella's rod, I could tell her

was out fishing and slipped and banged
my head.

She'll never believe that. Why not? It's
almost the same as what happened to

him. You'd be doing me a great favour.

No. Sorry, can't help you.

Just a couple of quid net for you.

Ah!

Well, I hope you're having a better day
than I am.

Can't you be the judge of that?

an opacity to me.

Root of both lungs.

TB. Anyone we know?

Yeah, footballer.

About to turn professional.

At least he was.

Well, a career over before it's begun.

Yeah.

It's the part of the job I don't like.

Another rule, Jessica, no outsiders.

And no medicine either.

How could you?

She needs help. She can fight the
infection.

She could die.

Mr. Bradley, I'm Dr. Banner from the
local general practice in Elkenbury.

Your wife told me your daughter needs a
doctor.

I'd like to take a look.

Please, Gideon, just this once.

I'm sorry.

It goes against everything we've strived
for.

We use natural remedies or nothing.

If you'll at least let me see your
daughter, I may be able to recommend

something homeopathic.

Can't until I see her.

Sorry.

You make all the decisions around here,
do you?

Nobody else's opinion counts?

Of course it does. We put everything to
the vote.

Really?

I didn't see a show of hands.

Why don't you take the doctor to my
caravan?

I'll assemble the council.

Earth angel, stop catching flies.

Ken,

Alan, I've got a list here of things
that need doing down at the nurse's

Yes, well, we'd love to, Matron, but
we're very busy. We've got to fix the

sluice in the scrub room and one of
Pearl's washing machines is on the blink

again. Oh.

Well, it's just that we don't want the
new nurse to get the wrong impression.

You're right, Matron.

I'm sure we can find the time, can't we,
Ken?

Pardon? You just leave them with us,
Matron.

Excellent.

Green nymph.

Good.

Ah, now.

I don't think you're going to get this
one.

There now.

Royal coachman.

Well done.

How did you know?

Read that in the middle.

I spent every weekend fishing this bay
with my dad. You can get to know your

flies. I fished the same river myself
when I was younger.

I suppose you've grown out of it now.

Haven't been in years.

Last time was six months before he died.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I looked after him best I could.

Until... Well, I suppose that's what
made me want to become a nurse.

I was feeling kind of seasick.

The crowd called out for more.

The room was humming harder as

the ceiling flew away.

When we call out for love to drink,

the waiter brought a tray.

And so it was that later,

as the miller towed his chair,

that her face was first just ghostly.

Are you sure this is OK, Mr Middleditch?

Yes, of course, Cam.

Anything for a good cause.

I was thinking maybe I should have a
word with Matron, you know, get you

into one of those private suites. You'd
be a lot more comfortable.

Private suites? Oh, that sounds very
grand. When did they open?

Oh, um, quite recently.

I never liked the idea of private rooms
and lone suites.

This isn't Aidan's Royal Free Hospital,
remember?

Yes, well, I agree with you there, but
Mr Carnegie on the other end. Ah.

Yes, I'm beginning to see the picture.

Well, if there's anything I can do to
make your stay here any more

you know where I am.

Oh, I'm fine, Ken.

What's good enough for all the other
patients is good enough for me.

I take it Nurse Davenport has explained
to you about...

The way things work round here.

If there's anything you need, you know
where I am.

Thanks. Matron, actually, there was
something.

Yes?

I hate to ask it, but I spent most of my
money getting here.

Is there any way I could have an advance
on my wages?

I'll see what I can do.

Put the cheeks on me.

I'm sorry, Doctor, but our community
hasn't been tainted by the outside world

or its poisons.

And we don't plan to start now.

You're a hypocrite.

How dare you?

A diabetic hypocrite.

Since I was 20.

And your wife knows about this?

No one knows about this.

And she's not my wife.

We have a daughter together, that's all.

Free love.

You disapprove?

Only of double standards.

Don't you think if there were a natural
remedy to control this condition, I'd be

taking it instead of this?

A shadow?

What kind of shadow?

Well, that's what we're trying to find
out.

What does it look like to you?

It's too early to tell you. Read,
Doctor.

I have to know.

It could be TB.

But we really do need to do more tests
before we can be absolutely sure.

If the Scouts get wind of this, I'm
finished.

Look, it's not the end of the world.

It is treatable if it's caught early
enough, but you will need six months

antibiotics and you will need complete
rest.

Six months?

If I'm not fit, they won't sign me.

When will I be fit enough?

If it is TB, you won't ever play
football as well.

Your lungs won't be the same. You'll get
tired too easily.

I'm sorry.

Look, I'll... Go back and see you later,
shall I?

Doctor, we've got a premature labour.

Sister Bridget's taken the patient
straight to the maternity suite.

Right, I'll be right with you.

All these years, you've kept this from
me.

It's one rule for you and another for
Skye.

No, of course not.

I've got no choice but to take this.

I can't use Gideon. Just try to do the
right thing, Jessica.

If that's the case, then you'll let me
examine your daughter.

If anything happens to her, Gideon,
it'll be on your head.

She's in my bathroom.

Same old faces, though nothing has
changed.

Oh, apart from the private suites.

Indeed. I can show you around them if
you like.

You feel there's a need for more private
rooms?

Oh, I think so.

What better way to generate a source of
income?

And that's what this is all about?

I'm just trying to keep the wolf from
the door, Mr. Middleditch.

If you ask me, I'd say we've already let
him in.

I've really got to get back to work, Mr
Middleditch. It's been a pleasure to see

you again. Please get well soon.

Thank you.

Mr Carnegie, these changes.

I think you'll find the Trust won't
allow it.

You all right, Mr Middleditch?

How's the foot?

Terrible. Unlike that chap there.

Well, how's the first day going?

Aye, not bad.

I remember my first day here like it was
yesterday.

Oh?

Have you had many accidents then?

No, no, no, not really.

How are you finding the old place?

Yeah, I like it.

It's a lot quieter than where I did my
training, but I think that's good.

Gives you a chance to get to know the
people, doesn't it?

Oh, I couldn't agree more.

What do you make of your colleagues so
far?

What about Matron, eh?

A bit scary, what?

You never stop pissing.

Measles complication.

How long has she had them?

The spots appeared a few days ago, but
she's just got worse since then.

But she hasn't been vaccinated.

No.

None of the kids here have.

What?

Narcots, measles, diphtheria, whooping
cough, polio.

We've always made our own medicines.

We do just fine.

Not this time, though, eh?

She's fitting and has encephalitis.

If I don't get her to hospital, she'll
die.

That's not your rod.

Yes, it is.

Not the one I bought you.

Oh, that's a carp rod. This one's for
trout. I bought it last week.

I was just telling the wife about your
fall, Mr Middleditch.

The river can be a very dangerous place
if you don't watch yourself.

Oh, absolutely.

Are you all right?

Thank you.

I've just had to tell her young mother
that we couldn't save her premature baby

because we're not well enough equipped.

Do you have any idea how useless that
makes me feel when a few simple

would have made all the difference? That
was the fourth baby in the last two

years, Adam.

This shouldn't be happening.

I'm very sorry, Joel.

And you're absolutely right.

It's top of my list.

What would you say if I told you that I
am planning a special premature baby

unit with necessitators and incubators?

I'd ask you, given the hospital's
current financial position, how on earth

could even consider something so
ambitious?

Let's just see where there's a will,
there's a way.

Is that enough?

That's great, Merton. Thank you.

Well, go and put it somewhere safe.

I'll expect you back on the ward in ten
minutes.

Yes, Merton.

Thanks.

If there's anything I can get you, just
ask. The name's Ken.

Bobby. Bobby Horrocks.

Oh, you know.

Well, I tell everybody I've just been
speaking to Bolton's new signing.

Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Leeds look very good this season, don't
they?

Yeah. I won't be playing for Leeds.

No?

I won't be playing for anyone.

The only thing I'll be playing is Ludo
in the hospital sanitarium.

Why? What's wrong with you, son?

I've just been told my career's over.

I can explain.

Nurse Davenport, I'll need your help.

I just thought I'd ask your opinion in
case I was missing something. What do

think? Well, I can see how our
footballer's symptoms might lead you to

TB.

I can't see what else it could be. The x
-ray changes seem so obvious.

The opacity seems to be more in the
hilar glands, which does not confirm

tubercular infection of the lung itself.

Look here.

If these granulomas clump together, they
could be what are affecting the lymph

nodes in the chest cavity.

Sarcoidosis.

Well, if it is, that would explain him
feeling so breathless, but, well... We

won't know for sure till we get the
sputum test back.

Do you mind if I try something?

Why, what do you mind?

It could be him's skin test.

Inject our footballer with sarcoid, see
how he reacts. Might give us our answer

sooner rather than later.

We'll get to the bottom of this.

You know, I'm positive I've seen him
somewhere before.

I'm positive too.

It's Mr Middleditch.

That's who it is.

This is the first hospital I've been in
where they hang portraits of their

patients.

Shall I let you into a little secret?

Why didn't you tell me who he was?

You didn't ask.

Anyway, I thought you knew.

Well, I could have. It's my first day.

I'm going to try and get over it, eh?

Now, remember to check the patient's
name and dosage against the treatment

sheet.

I'm qualified, you know.

Really.

Would you take these for me, please, Mrs
Smith?

Here you go.

Oh, I say, that looks delicious.

Thank you, Kim. What a wonderful
surprise.

Excuse me.

Are we all having shows?

No, you're flaming well not.

Now, you haven't paid for anything yet,
you know. You only had that fish. You

never bought it.

Well, what am I having?

Macaroni, I think.

I've just found out who you are.

Why don't you tell me?

Would it have made any difference?

Of course.

I would have... Given me preferential
treatment, Nurse McKay?

Trout for lunch and the offer of a
private room.

I'm quite happy at being treated like
any other patient, you know.

Adam,

can I have a quick word?

Sure, something on your mind?

Yeah, um, what we were talking about
earlier, this baby unit.

Yeah?

Look, it's one thing talking about big
plans, but I suppose it's another

actually carrying them out. I was, um...

I was wondering if you could be a little
bit more specific.

Well, I'm proposing a general expansion.

A new theatre, a bigger, fully equipped,
premature baby unit.

Nothing short of a major overhaul,
really.

How are you going to achieve all this?

Well, I'll need help.

I was hoping I could count on yours.

Well, yeah, but when?

I'll let you know when the time comes.

Look, if you're serious about this, I
will back you 100%. Good.

I'll keep you to that.

What do you think?

I think your father taught you very
well, Nurse McKay.

It's all right, Mrs Smith, don't worry.

Make sure this floor is thoroughly
clean, Nurse. There's nothing worse than

sticky ward.

Yes, Mutant.

You're not keeping my staff from their
work.

Would I do that, Matron?

I'm more of a rugby man myself.

Sure I'm not playing the wrong game.

It doesn't matter.

It's over now, isn't it?

I don't know.

I always say nothing is certain until
the final whistle.

We'll see what this test tells us. I'll
be back to check on you later.

Cheer enough.

The complications have caused severe
scarring to both corneas.

There's a good chance she'll lose her
sight.

I wanted to prepare you.

You sure?

If you got to her

earlier... We might have been able to do
something.

Now isn't a good time, but you can stop
this situation from getting any worse.

Some of the other children may already
have measles, and if, like you say, they

haven't been immunized, this same thing
could happen again.

Nurse McCaig?

What are you doing?

I was just cleaning the floor like you
asked, Matron.

It was one bottle of barley water,
Nurse, not the whole ward.

Well, I just thought I needed it.

Yes, well, you may be right, Nurse.

I'll be having words with our
auxiliaries.

Now, go and get yourself changed into a
clean uniform.

Yes, Matron.

I was talking to Mr. Middleditch
earlier.

He says Carnegie is planning big changes
for this place. Have you heard of it?

Oh, more like a general expansion, I
think.

Anyway, it looks like I'm going to be
getting my prim baby unit after all.

Marvellous. Why is it I'm always the
last one to find out?

I come to think of it, what are you
planning, Sally? I've only just found

myself, Gordon.

I don't have to dream.

I didn't... I mean, I wasn't... I've got
to go now.

Are you quite sure you're ready to
leave?

We'll happily keep you for longer.

I have seen enough of hospitals, Mason,
to last me a lifetime.

It's been marvellous having some
friendly faces around for a change, but

missing my home comforts. Oh, very well.

You have quite enough responsibilities,
Major, without having to worry about me.

Oh, look, talking about
responsibilities, are there any concerns

None. Everything's just as he left it.

Good.

Richard? Yes?

Is that Bart?

On the contrary, Mr Horrocks.

I'd say it was very, very good.

There we go.

On over.

I'll get Lizzie to give him a call.

Tell him that Gideon's refusing to come
out of his caravan.

It's hardly surprising, given what he's
been through.

I think I'll go and see him.

Why, what can you do?

Right, who's next?

Who's that young porter?

Alan? Yeah.

Is he... Is he all there?

No.

Thought not.

So are we finding the place?

Is there a difference?

I think you've made an impression on Mr
Middleditch.

Wish I could say the same for Stella.

Didn't exactly get off to a good start
with her this morning.

Just gone downhill from there.

It's not you.

I nearly put my foot in it as well
earlier.

The sooner that animal's behind bars,
the better.

For all of us.

What animal?

A fellow who attacked her, who do you
think?

You can't say anything.

What happened?

Now, I've just checked on our young
footballer. Yes, and?

And if I was a betting man, which I'm
not, I'd be very tempted to put my life

savings on him having sarcoidosis.

Oh. Quick cause of steroids, couple of
months rest, and he'll be as right as

rain. I think you'll want to break the
good news yourself. Oh, thank you.

I hope the next time you've visited...

You'll be under less painful
circumstances.

Make sure you rest that leg.

Yes, patron.

Of course.

Oh, are you leaving us?

I'm afraid so, Nurse McCaig. But thank
you for making my stay here such a

comfortable one.

Just doing my job with the middle bit.

Bye -bye.

I'm doing it very well, I'd say.

Time will tell.

I've been in this business long enough
to spot a top nurse when I see one.

It may not appear so now, but that girl
has got what it takes.

I hope you're right.

The car's ready, Mr Middleditch. Ah,
thank you, Ken.

Well, goodbye, Mason.

Bye.

Is everything all right with Mr Smith?

I'm not sure. He keeps reaching to the
toilet.

Hi.

I've checked on Skye. She's responding
well.

I'm on my way back to the hospital now.

You're leaving?

We're all leaving.

Everything's changed.

I know that without the medicine you're
giving my daughter, she'd die.

None of this matters anymore.

Give him.

Is that my advice?

So, I'm sorry if I scared you earlier,
but I was just preparing for the worst,

really.

For this?

It's an inflammatory condition.

We don't know what caused it, but it can
affect many organs, can even cause

their failure. But don't worry, we can
treat it. And the good news is, two to

three months, you should be playing
football again.

So you mean?

Well, I mean, big clubs are going to
have to wait a little bit longer, but

sure you're worth it.

Two Mr Smiths in the same ward.

Mr Frank Smith is on antibiotics, and Mr
Gerald Smith is on diuretics.

And they say they had different pills
today.

One of you has obviously mixed up the
medication. The question is who?

It was me.

I wasn't paying attention, I'm sorry.

Sorry is not good enough, Nurse McCaig.

Count yourself lucky that this is not
more serious than someone having to run

the toilet every five minutes.

We're going to have to tighten up
procedures.

Consider this as a warning, Nurse
McCaig.

Not very good on your first day, is it?

It won't happen again, Meechan. I'm
sorry.

It had better not.

Before you say anything, I owe you one
for this morning.

Scaring the life out of you.

Thanks.

You didn't have to do that.

Well, the kiddo was telling it was you.

have happened to their children.

So they've chosen to leave rather than
take the risk.

My daughter is critically ill because of
me.

Playing God with other people's lives.

What gave me the right?

You were idealistic.

I was a fool.

I was paid with this daughter's sign.

Excuse me.

Mr. Bradley?

There you go.

It doesn't matter what changes are made,
Ken.

This place will always be the royal for
me.

Can't change memories, eh?

Leaving already, Mr. Middleditch? I'm
afraid so, Mr. Carnegie.

But don't worry.

I'm never very far away.

It's only good.

What happened?

He tried to take his own life.

Horse left you here.

Wait,

stop!

I'm coming with you.

Ah, Mr Carnegie.

A word, if you please.

I was just hearing rumours about your
plans for expansion.

Oh, yes.

Oh, yes.

I was just wondering whether they were
for certain years only or whether you

were going to see fit to share it with
the rest of us.

Not least, perhaps, with me, head of
practice.

Well, rest assured, Gordon, the moment
my plans are approved, you will be the

first to know.

Are you

hiding

from her?

She thinks I'm weird.

You are weird.

You look happier.

Got some good news.

Looks like I'll be playing after all.

Oh, I'm really pleased for you. That's
great.

Yeah. Yeah, it is.

Oh, and Ken, what you were saying about
Lee's looking good next season.

Man United look better.

You won't get away with it, Stella.

We'll make sure of that.

All of us.

We're friends.

I know.

seen that animal again.

He's jumping about the corridor, hiding
in corners, thinking he's invisible.

I just played along.

He is completely off his head, isn't he?

Stella?

Look, I know we didn't exactly go off to
a good start, but I'm a really good

listener.

I might even be able to help if you ever
want to talk.

Thanks, Marion.

I might just take you up on that.

It's been a long day. I could do with a
drink.

You fancy it?

See the local sights?

Well, the local pub.

I'd love to.

I know I cry for help when I see it.

This wasn't one.

Do you think he'll try it again?

As long as he's got nothing to live for,
