Apparently she's been my laundry woman for nearly a year

Why she kept on working in her condition

They get it in their head they need luxuries like bread and that

No beds for childbirth if you long at home with your family

Got none

Chucked ten months ago. I'd say you're about a month early, but that's not too terrible

You'd stop all the crying and carrying on you'd feel better now

You've had a small bleed so I'm going to keep you in tonight where we can keep an eye on you the contractions have stopped

So you could still carry this baby to turn and that's better for both of you

We'd better send a message to the father. It can't come is it?

Do you want us to let him know where you are please no is it say is a sailor he's on the boat

Miss the baby

Is it normal?

Can you tell with that thing I can hear your heart and the babies with this and they're both normal now

Scott will put you in a bit

Is she all right? Yes, she's much better. She's

You better see her

Charlie you shouldn't have come go away

God what you can you're doing coming here

I

Was the matter famous not a great deal, but she needs peace and quiet, so please don't stay too long

If I lay for starts again just send for me

No, what is you didn't want us seeing in hourly checks that she hasn't started leading again

Do you think he's the father doctor? I've never delivered the black baby before I don't suppose many nurses have

Anyway, it's probably false labor. I don't have anything

I couldn't just leave you here not knowing

I'm fine, and

What if it's true what the girls say what if it's huge what you'll have to go now your

The patient needs to get to bed and rest. I'll be very quiet nice

Kind of just certainly you certainly can't two minutes then you go home. It's a bad idea

I mean you wouldn't even throw a dog out in this with you

Supposed to spit cold after the jungle is it freezing at least they're not so many lines and targets

Bye then

I

Of course the birth process is the same whatever they erase on nationality

If it's a breach birth and it looks as though it may well be

Will the child be too big for the mother's pelvis?

How can I tell it she's small this mother not particularly whether or not you're in the problem

I've never had to intervene in a bath before and you probably won't have to this time now

Let's steer this conversation to more

Ladies and gentlemen

Before we go in I'd like to propose a toast

To Eleanor on her birthday

The dearest daughter a man could wish for

And of course as always Eleanor's mother my dear Mary

She saw her daughter only once

But she would have been proud tonight

And exasperated and appalled

But most of all she loved you

The distraction

And you're so like

peas and a pod

Only a bit of blood and then she started all this

You should have caught me earlier

They're my love so on its way soon be over now

Oh

Then I'm gonna stop till we open the door we're enough to worry about that. It's more of the street

Oh

Like my leg you're cool now

Not by you

Who are you stop stop?

Is that the place

Nothing for us to worry about you

He's not bad

Not really

Please don't let me

I won't don't worry

It's definitely breach a month premature father

He's away for the week his father's ill father no I

Can't do it all on my own

My first difficult birth

She's had a small bleed father. So it may well be placenta previous

Oh for god's sake

You can't let a mother and child die because it's tonight rather than tomorrow night or last night

Hello, no, I didn't plan it father

We can hardly let her die because she's chosen the wrong day now. That's enough. I need your help

Oh those and gentlemen well what can I say?

You can say it's all my fault for taking her to the thrift in the first place

I'll look after everyone you go

Well if only she were the washer woman and some other fool of that is daughter kind to doctor

Excuse me

27 years ago tonight Robert's wife died whilst giving birth to Eleanor he did everything possible to save her

Oh come along now, let's do justice to this lovely table

Oh

Oh

With her still losing blood thought I better set up for eventualities, but just fortunate you're still here

Oh

Racing

Ludloss is bad

We're going to help the baby on its way

How you go I'm sorry you can't stay get him out get him out

I'm gonna do to her now she'll be quite safe

Please just tell me this is some jolly jig I

Presume that in a minute you will wheel out the proper instruments

This place is no more suitable for major surgery than a stable lighting dreadful

Tables completely

Damage is bleeding to death. Well, that's enough around

Get ready

Look at me. We haven't got any more bloody won't boil them again for God's sake

Place those you can boil the others clean up the worst of the blood

She's failing

Pulses really

She stopped breathing I'll get a stimulant. We've got straightening just low

either try to shock right a bit

Oh

Excuse me, Nasti what's going on

I just you think I'm gonna pinch your stuff, please Nasti what's happening she's in trouble. I have to get back. I'm sorry

That's nothing it's too late

So frightened girl

But the child is still alive

Susarican Eleanor to have to be quick. I'll get the clean instruments. No time no point Eleanor. I agree. She's dead

She's dead

But once we don't have to worry about the size of the incision

Jackers

This right you take over from her

You put your back into it

I don't know

The towel for the baby

Should I take it

Oh

I got daughter

She's perfect

I'm so sorry

You

Oh

You

I'm so sorry father it must have brought back terrible memories. Yes

Yes, he did

Very bad memories

But not as bad as what we had to do in there

My infirmary did after all save the child

But it was more like good luck than management

Those operating instruments are barbaric I have seen better on the battlefield

Well, which I thought I'd left behind

Mr. Carter nurse carne is a wet nurse which may solve your first problem

To foster her until she's wean

I'd find a wet nurse at home

She's not well enough to go home. She hasn't even been washed yet. How long so weak she's very small. She needs nursing

If I have sick, I'm going taking you will not take that child out of this building

For the child's sake

I

Don't know what to do

We thought that she would be so big she was born too soon. She's tiny

It's my fault

You see hadn't been pregnant loss of blood killed your wife not the child

You have to accept that

If you don't you'll go mad

I don't know what to do you go home. That's what you can do. You try to get some sleep

Don't be long

I

Need pain for each feed as we go along don't give milk for nothing

God feed myself to make milking and all second done

No good thinking it comes to you because it doesn't people think it's free. I say I don't live for free

Well, my god

Child is two hours old and premature black as the night if you would agree to six feet a day

Feeds me my English milk for this little Ethan well

I feel car if this is the sort of thing you call me out for and don't just walk out

We spent half the night saving this child's life and we're not going to let her starve to death now

Get one of her own kind in then she's hungry and you're here. Oh, no, I am not

sit down

Right there nice car prepare a trolley to express some of this woman's milk. I'll won't

nine pence a

feed a day

We're not asking you to suckle a child just come here four times a day and use the bottles. We'll have ready for you

Mr. Carter your wife's body will be sent to the mortuary in the morning

Now the child needs feeding and it's time you went home

Would you bring in some screens please mr. Bentley

You

You

You

Nast thought that I would steal food while my wife was dying and I wasn't thinking I'm sorry

But it's the way I've paid her I've been my own family of course

Good you won't do nothing with the child

Put out our workhouse or anything

While she needs to be here. This is where she'll stay. We won't be putting her out anywhere

I'm sorry

It's just that you get so used to being treated like nothing and if I don't look after she's got no one

I name miss

It's me

You've decided so soon Claire's choice

May for a girl she wanted

I

I'm sorry. We're all exhausted. There's nothing more we can do you have to go home now

You

You

You

Well you took your time I hope you must have bent through you walked your home. Yes, you did

And the Africans gone yes

Shouldn't have waited up

But the attraction of that awful places I just night father, please

What sort of workplaces that for a young woman good night father misery poverty

Well, if you're gonna throw you life away

I saw to add some decent equipment

There's a set of scalps restored

I didn't know you had any surgical equipment

It's what I was I don't know

You better have

We've only got one doctor on today and she's been up all night

So those that can't wait quietly get operated on by me and the old rusty wood axe

So she never even saw her child

Little savage

What will we do with you now the father wants her he's devoted to the child

The father a black man so black child man

It's needing to be brought up a good Christian

How are we feeding her?

Wet nurse ma'am oh how poignant suckling the child

Give us some bloody jug and let's be having the nonsense

She's taking it wellness I could give it to her take a few ready bottles

Put it out of your head you're in no fit state to look after a premature baby

If you come back in a week or two we can discuss her future we call to you come visit her every day if you like I

Know this is a very difficult time for you, but try to think it out for May's sake

I

Can't leave her I want to I want to just walk away and never to sit eyes on her again

You don't know how much I just want to walk away motherless child is a terrible responsibility every minute I stop here

Me waiting for hanging around then leave her here go home get back to work when she's stronger. I haven't got a home

My job

The police are after me

So I've got to get away and I've got to take her with me what have you done?

leaving miss I

Could just walk onto the street and shout for a policeman

No, you care more about the child than you do about the law

You think I'm a soft touch

I'm not I'm all she's got

I'll look after her

Charlie give yourself up

Once you've served your sentence you can reclaim her it should be too late by then I know what it's like one black face in the workhouse

This is a show end up like me or on the streets. I'm sorry my first duty is to the church no matter how much you love her

How long is it since you slept

Oh eight

I died

I'll tell nurse car to get you some tea and bread and mr. Bentley will find you a mattress

Don't worry. They won't give you away. We're used to all sorts

That's it

Down

He looks quite decent once you get used to him talks decent to

Someone who bought a copper's can't be all bad. Why did you move the mattress to the side?

Move the mattress so we could look through the cracks in the floorboards and see the little brat

shopping back

I

Pretty and there are these sorts of things.

Most interesting.

Christine.

And there are these.

You're always so busy.

We're usually halfway through the casualties by now.

When does Martin get back?

When his father.

Oh, no.

This is Miss Bramwell, Sergeant.

I'm sure she knows nothing.

Lady Peter's, if I might just finish this.

I believe you're looking after a black child, Miss.

Fravoured by Charlie Carter?

I couldn't say who fathered her.

He's a thief, a burglar, and a footpad, and thief.

Her is the area, Miss Blackjack.

I mean, Custer or Niliadim, but he's a slippery.

They heard that his wife worked for me,

and they came to the house.

Didn't know she was dead.

We retin'y might just come looking for the child, Miss.

He could be here already.

Hide him.

Possible me, Lady, but not lightly.

Sergeant, I would be very grateful if you made absolutely

certain I'm not there.

I'd have to sit people here.

And if he's dangerous, the man's black,

I think we would have noticed.

No harm in checking, Sergeant.

Upstairs, Constable.

Miss W

A little Blackjack.

It's a girl, me.

Oh, nice Christian name.

Wasted on a heathen.

Johnny Jones.

Only an empty room up there.

Right, carry on down here, Constable.

Yes, Sergeant.

Why so tense, haven't you?

I can't believe he's as wicked as they say.

It's not our problem.

I'll tell you what.

Up to the court.

You're a rat rubbish in the alley.

You're retin'y to be on and up in there.

No, he looked.

Have you ever seen this, darkly?

Yeah, me and her.

We've all seen him.

What's going on?

Nothing.

That's why you should be.

I've been really serious down here.

Good God.

Good night.

He's here again.

You've got him, haven't you?

He's absolutely exhausted, but he couldn't hurt a fly.

Sergeant, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I think I heard a noise.

Yes, in the attic.

He's gone.

Get out of my way.

Look what you've done.

Get after him.

What a birthmapping of.

The man's a common criminal.

I was thinking of the child.

Hand of Charlie.

He wants her so much.

What if someone had wrenched me away from you?

Mr.

FIA.

chillis a million dollars.

ick accent

jack

oah!

crap

down

Johnny

Your drawing-room morals don't apply in the thrift.

We must not treat criminals or their family.

That's half the East End ruled out.

And you really mustn't make sweeping rules about who I may or may not treat.

And you mustn't put the infirmary on the wrong side of the law.

I felt I had little choice.

I felt I had no choice.

I felt I had no choice.

If you'd seen Charlie with his baby, I would have steeled my heart to the sight.

Easier said than done.

Oh, you approve of your daughter sheltering a fugitive?

I disapprove of the whole damn thrift as well, you know.

You keep breaking the law, they'll shut you down.

And if you want to admit only saints, then you shouldn't have opened in the first place.

Well, the problem solved now.

He abandoned the child and saved his own hide, as we all thought he would.

Well, am I wrong?

Sherry, my lady?

Yes, thank you.

I told Claire's family that mother and child both died.

It seemed kindest.

I've also found a place for men who were very proud of her.

I've also found a place for men in the workhouse.

Soon she's well enough, we'll send her.

I don't want to be keeping an eye on him.

It's not a key for no one a place like this.

It's not a key for no one a place like this.

I'm just not a key for this.

You're a good woman.

I think I'm a good woman.

I'm not a good woman.

I'm not a good woman.

It's not a piece for no one in a place like this.

Workhouse, black knee, doctor.

This is as good as it 11 days, Babies.

Make the most of it.

Leave her on the bench, shall we?

No, no, Mr. Bentley.

I don't think so.

No!

I can choose a little witch then.

We've even had magic spell making with him fall for her.

Not you, of course.

She'll need a cradle if she's here much longer.

If I'd saw the type of money in an orphanage.

Yeah, and you love it.

Don't you see? Yeah.

Yes, she does.

You stay there.

I'll pitch the grill.

No.

You stay there.

Stas though.

Or I'll shoot.

Move slowly into the middle of the room.

Charlie.

I tried to find stones up at the window, but I didn't know which one.

I heard something. I thought it was the wind.

What the hell are you doing here?

Not robbing us for the trying to wake us. Put the gun away.

How's me?

Well, quite well. Getting fed.

A police all around the place. I tried to get back in, but there's no chance.

Eleanor, I think you should fetch the groom.

He's not doing us any harm.

He's a wanted man.

Can she take me up now?

Kalzmuk?

No.

We haven't tried.

I found the boat willing to take us over to France.

Leave tomorrow, midnight.

Now, ending a North meck our way over to Marseille.

More of my kind there.

You'll never get past the police.

Let's put you in.

Please miss, will you bring the baby out to me?

You have to.

How will you manage?

Eleanor, it's a child, not a doll.

You leave her hungry for a few hours and she's a star before you know it.

I won't let her.

I don't know what we're doing right there, but I know the light should lead here.

I don't want to on the streets in a few years. I want something better.

And she'll get that from a notorious villain on the run from the house.

And she'll get that from a notorious villain on the run from the hangman.

How did they hang me for?

You'll fight with the constipant.

Please, bring me my daughter.

I don't know.

I'll be at Battery Key tomorrow at 11.

If you're not there, I won't give up.

Wherever you send her, I'll find her somehow.

Oh, then you'll be arrested for kidnapping.

And they'll try me for that after they've hanged me, will they?

Put your gun down before you blow your daughter's head off.

Battery Key, 11.

So the child is in the workhouse, is she?

I couldn't.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Better patience must be loving this.

She's hungry.

Hush now.

Give her some grub then.

I'm not dying yet.

Merely Mrs. raised her a lot with our clock board watching the house.

Miracle added to the hill.

It's quite a hounder.

How on earth would any father cook with us?

Beats me.

I'll finish this in a slosse.

He's a liar and a thief.

But he doesn't deserve to be hanged.

And whatever else he may be, he wants to be a good father.

Now don't try to manipulate my feelings again, I know.

If you want to do something silly with this child, then do so.

Don't take me along with you.

You wouldn't try to stop me.

I'm not going to do this.

I'm not going to do this.

I'm not going to do this with you.

You wouldn't try to stop me.

Well, when your mother died, your grandparents wanted you.

Your aunt Alice was convinced that she should help you.

No one believed a widower could bring a child up on his own.

Sometimes after a long day when you'd be in particularly tiresome and charming and difficult,

I thought they were right.

And now?

Well, now I know that they were right.

I never thought of parting with you.

Your birth made your life so precious.

It's only to death yet so full of life.

Well, I saw that looking child's eyes the first night when he held May.

Couldn't have faked that.

Perhaps he deserves a chance.

Perhaps May does.

And what if she dies on the voyage?

Playing with lives out now.

It's never an easy game.

It's never a game.

Good-bye, Doctor.

Takes two nippers and a second cold, no trouble.

You can borrow it till they're next.

Bring the cotsamora.

May won't be here forever, Mr. Bentley.

It happens she'll be here for a while, won't you?

I mean, people's funny about darkies, even a nice little creature like her.

Has Lady Peter's seen her recently?

No miss.

The child's always fast asleep when she comes.

In the linen closet.

Just as well.

Until we find her a nice home.

Nice homes won't be queering up for her miss.

How you'll make sure she's not ill-treated, I don't know.

No point in worrying about it though, is there, Amie?

She's going to have a rough enough life, whatever we do, poorly and even.

No.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Oh, no, no.

Oh, no.

It's a fun time.

I won't be here.

Looking for people to go.

I'm not going to be here.

No, no.

I'm sorry.

It's a fun time.

Oh, no.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

No.

No.

No.

I'm sorry.

Please.

I'm sorry.

Charlie?

Don't drop the paper, miss. Let's have to all this. You've got her.

I end two feet.

She should be all right until midday tomorrow.

I'll put some clothes.

Thanks.

Give it here.

If there was any other way.

They resent.

You must keep her dry and clean.

She'll be subject to fevers for some months.

I'll do my best.

She must take a chance with me, miss.

It's not what I want for her, but...

Best not my fault.

Miss.

I'll get some money.

My father had some French weapons.

Well, I'm sure you're right, Sergeant.

He'll be making for Liverpool Bristol

and we'll have to start again.

Robin, I'm creating my own.

Thank you so much for keeping this informed, Sergeant.

Good-bye.

Of course, he could still be here somewhere.

Hiding in the tenements.

He could be hot picking and Kent. They'd do that, Juneau.

He'd probably opt to eat a France.

Sorry, sir.

Well, Kate, cook could possibly be right.

It's very unlikely, though. Thank you, Kate.

I must find out how the child is getting on in the workhouse.

I don't think you should.

You made a professional decision.

Professionals shouldn't get involved.

Besides, you have enough patience at present to the thrift without worrying about past ones.

Look at him, Eleanor.

I thought he was quite taken with Little Mae, didn't you?

My father interested in motherless babes.

According to him, they're nothing but trouble.

For years and years.

Decades.
