MATURE JENNIFER: Sometimes in life
we get the chance to start again.

2
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,320
We breathe deep, stand tall.

3
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,720
We prepare to make our way.

4
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,080
The future waits, the night is
ended.

5
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,080
The light is flooding in.

6
00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:01,760
This is the morning that we dreamed
<font color="

00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:07,120
This is the dawn,
the new day, the road back.

SIGHS

9
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:13,240
This is everything we wanted,

10
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,920
everything we thought was lost.

11
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,200
And our journey begins

12
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,240
with steps so few that a child
could count them,

13
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,200
<font color="

14
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,800
Straight to the maternity home as
soon as you're ready,

15
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:34,840
Nurse Anderson!

16
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,240
Yes, Nurse Crane.
Good morning, ladies!

17
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,560
One delivery of iodine paste
for the venous ulcer cases,

18
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,120
<font color="

19
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,240
and one tin of biscuits,
fresh from my daughters' hands!

20
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,720
Angela and May always like to bake
something

21
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,400
when Mother Mildred visits.

22
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,040
I'm not telling you what I'd like to
do when Mother Mildred visits.

23
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,240
<font color="

24
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,240
That's, is, short story.

25
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,080
They're actually shortbread nurses.

26
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,040
The girls wanted to make them
nun-shaped, but I...

27
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,280
..I thought that might be seen
as disrespectful.

28
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:09,640
Good morning, ladies.

29
00:02:09,640 --> 00:02:12,280
I've just been informed that
<font color="

00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,760
at teatime today. She's not gonna
come early, is she?

31
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,200
She's not going to come at all.

32
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,920
Nevertheless, we have important
matters to discuss,

33
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:21,400
and Mother Mildred will telephone
<font color="

34
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,280
Sister Hilda, I'd like you to join
me.

35
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,280
If you would bring a tray of coffee

36
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,600
I shall require two spoons of
Nescafé.

37
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,720
Morning, Mrs Buckle.
Morning.

I need you to nip to the
cash-and-carry and fetch a gross

00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,840
of assorted chocolate eggs.

42
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,440
We've only just had Pancake Day!

Ha, well, that's as may be,

The Easter Bunny being you.

46
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,920
Vi, I wanted to get across
to the allotment.

47
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:57,080
There's daffodils need deadheading
and I think Mr Rat's back,

48
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,440

And we can't afford an assistant

52
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:08,200
until we've rented the flat
upstairs.

53

That card's been
stuck in the window for weeks.

Scrubbing my step, Sister.

57
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,200
I thought you'd approve -
cleanliness being next to godliness

58
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,240
and all of that.

59
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,800
It isn't next to godliness when
you're nine months pregnant.

00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,160
<font color="

61
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,880
and I've come to do your antenatal
check.

62
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,040
Oh, I was going to the clinic
this afternoon anyway.

63
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,440
I've already washed out a jar
to have a wee in.

64
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,600
We make an outing of it
every Tuesday, don't we, Glenys?

You have mine, Sister.
I'll fetch myself another.

Oh, are you feeling better?

68
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,000
You were bent double with bellyache
this morning.

69

Your vulgar language is

70
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,720
I don't get bellyache,
I have a delicate stomach.

71

You can't live on rice pudding,
Derek.

72
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,200
Oh, yeah? Hasn't killed me yet.

73
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,480
Sister, you're knocking that back
like a stiff gin.

74
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,560
I've never had a stiff gin in my

which isn't to say
I wouldn't like one now.

76
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,360
And no wonder.

77
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:29,360
You've just told Mother Mildred that
Nonnatus House is going private?

78
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:34,320
Correction - I've suggested
that the Order supplies midwives

00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,000
to a private maternity hospital

The finances raised
nursing the richest women in London

will be ploughed back
into Nonnatus House

82
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,000
and enable us to carry on serving
the very poorest.

83
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000
And as Mother Mildred responded,

00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,040
"Rather in the manner of Robin Hood

85
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,560

00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,280
I've been corresponding with

87
00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:56,600
Mr Scarisbrick of the Lady Emily

88
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,160
for some time now.

89
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:03,240
He wants the cachet of religious
Sisters nursing on his premises,

90
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,240
and we need the money

91
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,560
But Mother Mildred says no Sister
may set foot on his premises

92
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,520
until all due diligence has been
observed.

93
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,800
How on Earth are you going to do
that?

94
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,880
I know exactly how
I'm going to do it.

95

<font color="

96
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,480
I'm sorry, Sister Julienne.

97
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,200
Althea Mulligan's episiotomy needed
a bit of a once-over,

98
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,080
and I was late leaving the maternity
home.

99
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,440
Miss Higgins said you asked to see
me.

100
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,680
Yes, Nurse Franklin. I did.

twins,

Glenys!

I'm not kidding, Sister.

When Glenys was having the demon
duo,

00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,440
she was like the ruddy Hindenburg.

What, you mean on fire?

116
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,360
No. Just massive.

00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,320
Oh.

Ah, it used to hurt me,

somewhere pushed inside
where I couldn't let it show.

121
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,600
Well, cos she was my friend and I
was, I was glad for her,

122
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:50,280
but me and my Derek, we'd been
married five years and nothing.

123
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:51,960
Well, nothing until now.

of the smartest clinics in London.

Their garden parties are in Tatler.

It might be the thing that saves

You will work there for six weeks.

No, I did not know about this,

Mrs Wallace made me
some chicken, rice and peas.

<font color="
a new home for the church?

158
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,880
She'd been all the way to
Whitechapel in a special hat.

Lord, was it a special hat!

160
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,360
The sort of hat that say,

00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,760
"I used to be a bank manager's
secretary in Kingston"?

162
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,240
Oh, yes.

the building was already rented.

166

Was it in Isaiah that the Lord
promised

167
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,000
everybody would sit
under their own vine and fig tree?

168
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,840
<font color="
And the First Book Of Kings.

169
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,200
So it's definitely going to happen,
then.

170
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,400
Right now, I don't care about having
my own vine and fig tree,

171

175
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,520
You could try that.

176
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,680
Dr Turner, could you take
a look at Enid Chu before you go?

177
00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:28,760
She has a slight temperature.

178
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,680
I think she needs to stay another
<font color="

179
00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:33,360
Of course.

180
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:34,920
There will be no charge.

181
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,240
A state of affairs
I hope will never have to change.

182
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,760
Patrick, I don't believe
that was called for.

183
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,360
That was the first cross word

184
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,880
I've had with her in almost 20

185
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,320
I hope it's going to be the last!

186
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,000
I'm sorry.

187
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,120
But I just struggle to see
who this is going to benefit.

188
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,120
This Lady Emily clinic must have
money to burn -

189
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,760
sending a frock round in a taxi
cab!

190
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,800
<font color="
it's my new uniform!

191
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,400
Mr Scarisbrick's sister was
a couture model for Balenciaga.

192
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:20,280
I believe he drew on her expertise
when designing for his staff.

193
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:25,640
It's got too many frills and
falderals, it's too form-fitting

00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:31,920

Evening, Corporal Delamore!

And what, may I ask, are you doing
loitering in a public place

206
00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:05,720
and with no alcohol in your
possession?

Wahey! Brahms and Liszt

all the backslapping for later

I may say the office alone,

..as I was wont to do
<font color="

218
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,040
..but in my prime...

219
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,480
..and called away to work,
as you are.

220
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,040
I need you to pray on my behalf,
Sister...

221
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,040
..otherwise it's just Sister
Julienne and Sister Hilda

222
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,680
praying for everyone, and I think

223
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:18,560
I cannot concern myself
with such matters.

00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:23,680
The officer in Softly Softly appears
to be involved in an altercation.

00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,600
You might increase the volume

I'm glad to hear it.
What I am going to say is this.

I really don't think the Order can
go there dressed

00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,080
in medieval hand-me-downs!

I don't disagree.

Exactly!

You...you aren't arguing with me?

244
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,160
No. The Roman Catholic Orders have
been modernising for some time now.

245
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,720
<font color="
we shouldn't at least explore

246
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,280
the possibilities of a refreshed

00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,080
What about Mother Mildred?

We'll deal with Mother Mildred

Sister sounds more senior,

I'd put money on that being

00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,480
Oh, Derek,
I never thought they'd keep you in!

364
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,880
I'm down for a barium meal in the

If it is an ulcer, they'll give me
anti-acids or something.

Antacids, I think they're called.

It's one of the reasons
I became a nun.

Prototype number one - the pinafore

00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,960
It's a bit short. Can see her knees.

Mr Scarisbrick said he's admitted

I'm anaemic, apparently,

I imagine those are they.

There's no harm in resting,

<font color="

Hmm. Might also stand an outside

Matthew dropped off my case

When he was in the South Seas,

he used to keep a wrapper in his

they've got the message to him yet?

I spoke to the ward sister

that.

523
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,400
The cooler we keep the baby,

524
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,640
the longer he can stay with his
parents.

525
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:02,720
BABY GURGLES

00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,440
You can hear everything
through these walls.

00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,080
May I take both of them?

529
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,520
You can take anything you want.

530
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:14,080
Thank you.

531
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,520
Patrick, babies are born with limb
anomalies for other reasons.

533
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,400
Or...or had a cough and took a dose
of linctus

534
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,520
from a bottle she'd almost forgotten
she'd had?

535
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,840
There are no suspect medications
on her notes at all.

536
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:39,920
I promise you.

538
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,280
ever since his discharge
from the Army.

539
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,440
You have prescribed nothing
of any potential relevance.

00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,120
It isn't just me who wants answers.

541
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,560
The baby's parents will

00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,240
I thought he was crying.

00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,600
It's Glenys's baby next door.

545
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:22,320
She had a little girl.

546
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,080
Oh, good morning, Sister.

547
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,840
You're being very diligent
with your exercise.

548
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,280
My physiotherapist insists on it.

549
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:50,640
And it goes against the grain for me
<font color="

550
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:56,240
I know Miss Jones looks very young,
but she is highly qualified.

551
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,280
Did you hear we had a neo-natal
death last night?

552
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,600
It is a less frequent occurrence
now...

553
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,200
..than it was in times gone by.

00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,080
and Sister Frances upstairs
to catch up on her sleep.

556
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,000
She coped well enough,
but she's very upset.

557
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,640
I wondered if you might be able to
take her to one side

558
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,200
and pass some of your wisdom on.

midwife to midwife, but...

560
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,120
..you could suggest a prayer,
perhaps,

561
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,760
or something from the Scriptures?

562
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,000
You approach me
as a physician of the soul...

563
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,440
..but I have no panacea to offer.

564
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,200
Mr Scarisbrick, you're
<font color="

565
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,480
that might appeal to your clientele.

566
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,960
And you also do your very best
for them as patients,

567
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:08,080
but sometimes, and please don't
think I'm being impertinent,

568
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,120
you forget to ask yourself what
they might actually want, as women.

569
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:12,720
<font color="

570
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,560
You charm them.

571
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,440
You nurture them,
and they do trust you.

572
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,280
The trouble is,
they don't trust themselves.

573
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,000
You think they trust the nuns more?

574
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,560
They trust midwives more, but you
scarcely let your midwives in.

575
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,200
<font color="
as nuns, nurses or can-can dancers,

576
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,360
we can have an intimate
relationship with them.

577
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,240
We can help them to help themselves.

578
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,520
So, who do you want
to help the most?

579
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:43,600
Well, I've become quite interested

She's a very intelligent woman,
but quite sensitive...

581
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:47,240
She's all yours.

582
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,440
All mine?
Manage the whole labour.

583
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,720
One way or another,
we're all going to learn something.

584
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,200
<font color="
perfectly straightforward.

585
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,600
I'll find out what your consultant
had planned.

586
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,240
Have you had anything to eat, Derek?

587
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,520
What are we going to do about the
pram?

588
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,680
I'll put it in the yard for now...

<font color="

590
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,760
And before I leave,
I'll do you a round of toast.

591
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,120
An empty stomach does
an ulcer no good.

592
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:39,400
I keep thinking Glenys will come,
but she doesn't.

593
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,400
I'm sure she will,
<font color="

Sister Julienne, the water's ready.

595
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,720
I'll always want to know why it
happened.

596
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:00,120
Always.

597
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,400
Precious, you may never know.

598
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,120
We may never know.

599
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,400
I can live with not knowing.

600
00:35:11,240 --> 00:35:13,000
I can't live with not loving.

602
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,000
Please don't hide him from me,
not even his little legs.

603
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:36,920
Will you wash him with this?

No. It's all the varieties of cake
that Sister Monica Joan has refused

610
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,480
in the last six weeks.

611
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,720

It does sound as though

She hasn't even interfered
with the new habits.

614
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,840
I could have done with her support
over these short veils.

615
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,520
They're like miniskirts for the
face.

616
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:23,280
Well, once upon a time she'd have

00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,440
and gardening again.

621
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,560
Maybe it will help her
just to watch things grow.

622
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,280
We're ready now, aren't we, Derek?

What's all this? You're a bit early
for penny-for-the-guy.

Sister Julienne said you
were following on behind her.

628
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,040
She rides a bike faster than you do.

629
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,320
I took a detour to the newsagent

in their window.

stomach ulcers being

Food poisoning?

with it after eating a load of dodgy
fish.

666
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,520
Throwing up like dogs, we were.

667
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:28,880
Most of us, we bounced back,

668
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,400
but some of us have had gippy
stomachs ever since.

shocking heartburn still.

671
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,200
And he ate the fish?

672
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:39,680
Yeah.

673
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,600
Well, he caught half of them,
but his, erm...

674
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,200
..his daughter, she was, erm,

675

she was born with

And I wonder whether that had
something to do with it.

677
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,640
Maybe the fish had mercury in it,
or something, I...

678

..I don't know.

679
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,880
Whereabouts in the South Seas

It was a place called Christmas

The manoeuvre was called
Operation Grapple.

Labour is never easy, Fiona,

And then tell me what you would like
me to do with Mr Fleming's records.

697
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,560
Ring the Ministry of Defence

698
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,680
and ask for access to Derek
Fleming's Army medical records.

699
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,840
And, in the meantime,
<font color="

700
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,160
whether there is any other young man
on our books

701
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,120
who was involved in Operation
Grapple.

702
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,120
Mr Aylward?

703
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,200
I haven't even started smoking
yet.

704
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,280
<font color="
but I have brought you a gown.

705
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,000
Thanks.

706
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,600
My...my father promised me a box
of Cuban Havanas for afterwards,

707
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,080
but the fact of the matter is,
I hardly smoke at all,

708
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,080
unless of course it's at a social
event,

709
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,400
<font color="
and it's expected.

710
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:44,880
Sorry, what is this for?

711
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:46,640
Fiona's asking for you.

712
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:50,120
KNOCK ON DOOR

713
00:42:52,720 --> 00:42:55,920
I have just spoken very firmly
to the Ministry of Defence.

714
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,480
I had to make three calls

715
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:01,240
and hold the line for a total
<font color="

716
00:43:01,240 --> 00:43:04,880
after which I was informed
that they were not able to forward

717
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:09,520
Derek Fleming's medical records
for the years 1958 and 1959,

718
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:14,240
because, and I quote,
"They are marked confidential."

719
00:43:14,240 --> 00:43:18,600
But the MOD have always sent us
<font color="

720
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:20,360
It's just a formality.

721
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:21,680
Exactly so.

722
00:43:22,720 --> 00:43:27,280
Now, between calls, I also
established that a Terence Wylie,

723
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:32,720
born in July 1939, seemed to have
served in the South Pacific.

724
00:43:32,720 --> 00:43:35,000
There were notes relating to
<font color="

725
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,360
after he returned home via Hong
Kong.

726
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,160
Terence Wylie?
Yes.

727
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,120
He was referred to the Royal Marsden

728
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,960
last autumn after developing
leukaemia.

729
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:45,720
Can we contact him?

730
00:43:45,720 --> 00:43:47,240
<font color="

731
00:43:47,240 --> 00:43:49,800
And when I asked the Ministry for
his records,

732
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:51,720
they said that they were missing.

733
00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:00,600
With this next pain, I want you to
push, push, push into your bottom

734
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,040
with all the strength you have!

735
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:03,400
I'm tired.

736
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:04,800
<font color="

737
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:06,200
I am listening!

738
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:09,400
SCREAMS

739
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:10,840
That's it, that's it, that's it!

740
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,240
That's it, that's it, that's it!

741
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,520
It's all right.
Bit of mischief with the cord.

742
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:22,560
<font color="

743
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,600
You have a lovely little boy.

744
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,600
BABY GURGLES

745
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,400
BABY CRIES

746
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:43,640
Do you want me to take over?

747
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,840
No, I've got a system going now.

748
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,520
Oh, a person could go mad and blind

749
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,040
trying to skim-read every
letters column in the Lancet.

750
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,200
<font color="

751
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,680
Maybe it was the British Medical
Journal.

752
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,720
But I definitely read something,
somewhere,

753
00:44:59,720 --> 00:45:01,640
about deformed babies being born

754
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,000
to mothers who lived in the testing
zone.

755
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,320
But nothing about babies
<font color="

756
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:09,880
Not that I can recall.

757
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,440
And nothing about effects
on the soldiers either.

758
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:19,480
They didn't have food poisoning.
They had radiation sickness.

759
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:28,560
Audrey, precious, it's too soon
for you to be going out.

760
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:29,920
<font color="

761
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,800
We're gonna register Christopher's
birth and his death.

762
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:38,440
He's gonna get certificates,
like he would have got at school.

763
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:41,240
And we're doing it together.

764
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,080
Sometimes you hang on,
sometimes you let go.

765
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,560
<font color="
things.

766
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,320
I'm sorry, but I'm coming with you.

767
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:57,080
Oh, there you are!

768
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,320
I thought you were still
in the telephone room.

769
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,360
One of the nannies said
I could look at him.

770
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,280
You can do more than just look at
<font color="

771
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,800
No, she said I mustn't,
he'd just been bathed and changed.

772
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:10,960
Support his head.
Oh.

773
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:14,600
EXHALES

774
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,360
Gosh.

775
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:19,160
Gosh.

776
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,000
That's not really quite
adequate, is it?

777
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,960
<font color="
there's no feeling quite like it -

778
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,040
meeting one's own child
for the first time.

779
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:35,920
No.

780
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,680
You know, it is quite
like something else.

781
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:47,760
Have you ever been on a blind date?

782
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,880
That may have come within
<font color="

783
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,160
I met Fiona on a blind date.

784
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:56,560
We were set up by my cousin,

785
00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:01,640
who thought I was looking rudderless
and, I quote, "a bit unkempt".

786
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,000
I had a haircut and
bought a new tie.

787
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,520
When I walked into the restaurant
<font color="

788
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:10,600
..I looked at her face...

789
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:16,520
..and all I could think was that
suddenly everything was possible,

790
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,440
and everything was.

791
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:26,040
When I look down at this face,
this new person..

792
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,640
LAUGHS

793
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,640
..and I think to myself,

794
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,880
<font color="
of my days."

795
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,160
Well, don't cross over, Glenys.

796
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,480
Look, pretending this hasn't
happened won't take my

797
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,040
pain away...or yours.

798
00:47:55,960 --> 00:48:00,920
I know you're sorry, Glenys, for me
and for walking past.

799
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,200
<font color="

800
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:07,520
Show me your baby.

801
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,800
Is it just the one?
Yeah.

802
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:23,480
We've called her Janine.

803
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:27,800
I'll come and see you
properly soon, Janine.

804
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:31,960
We'd like that.

805
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,400
Good grief.

<font color="

807
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,200
it was all a new hobby for me back
then.

808
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,800
We weren't supposed to take
pictures of anything.

809
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:51,840
How did you get all this back to
England?

810
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:55,080
I worked in the post room
on the main camp.

811
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,040
<font color="
they were of the local wildlife.

812
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,320
Local wildlife and dancing girls.

813
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:03,320
I didn't bring any of them here.

814
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:07,560
How close were you
to the explosion of the test bomb?

815
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,520
I was on the shore.

816
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,720
The mushroom hung in the air
<font color="

817
00:49:12,720 --> 00:49:15,600
just like you see on
those newsreels of Hiroshima.

818
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,200
I got loads of shots.

819
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:24,600
Derek - he was on the deck of a ship
a lot nearer.

820
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:30,160
Those men, they had to sit
with their backs to the horizon,

821
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,000
<font color="

822
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,320
Derek said he could see
all his finger bones

823
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:39,000
glowing through his hand,
like they was burning.

824
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:45,960
HUMS QUIETLY

825
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:49,800
Mrs Wallace?

826
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,000
Nobody calls me Mrs Wallace here!

827
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,320
Once I'm in this overall,
<font color="

828
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:02,240
And I keep me hats for church
and for church-related business.

829
00:50:02,240 --> 00:50:05,360
Mrs Wallace, this is church
business.

830
00:50:06,720 --> 00:50:10,320
I have had an idea, which has become
more of a proposition,

831
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:13,880
but it requires your approval
and your help.

832
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:19,920
<font color="

833
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:21,680
Derek's had an 'aemorrhage.

834
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:23,160
He vomited so much blood!

835
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,520
There were pints and pints of it
all over the floor!

836
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:26,920
How, how, how, how.

837
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,960
The parlour is of an exceedingly
appropriate size,

838
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:34,560
the kitchen is adequate,

839
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:37,800
<font color="
acceptable.

840
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,480
Well, that's why the rent is set as
it is.

841
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,320
The church will be paying the rent.

843
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:57,560
Two extremely important matters
need to be made plain.

We will require your assistance

00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:56,960
that Derek himself should have
<font color="

872
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,680
that simply seem to have vaporised.

873
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:03,080
Gone up in a puff of smoke,
in other words.

874
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:04,640
What do you think that's all about?

875
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:09,320
I think that the soldiers on
Operation Grapple

876
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,080
were exposed to radiation.

877
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,880
And it's highly likely
<font color="

878
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,160
suffered damage as a consequence.

879
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:21,280
Hmm. Will anybody help us?

880
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,680
I don't know if anyone will accept
that harm was done.

881
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:28,840
Well, Derek said it best.

882
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:33,960
"Sometimes you hang on
and sometimes you let go."

883
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:37,000
<font color="
when he's feeling better,

884
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:40,360
- we're both gonna hang onto this.
Good.

885
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:45,320
We're not gonna let it go,
we're not gonna let it pass.

886
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,480
There's nothing else
we can do for Christopher.

887
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:51,840
<font color="

888
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:56,200
I went to a lot of trouble fixing
a short handle on that hoe,

889
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:59,080
especially so you could garden
sitting down.

890
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,880
And Nurse Crane has knitted you
those lovely gloves.

891
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:03,720
And you ain't even trying.

892
00:54:03,720 --> 00:54:06,480
I am returning to my room.

893
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:15,480
<font color="
it, to my cell.

894
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:17,760
Well, I ain't helping
you back indoors,

895
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,680
because going back into hiding
is not going to help you.

896
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:28,160
All this misery, it's about more
than just a broken leg, isn't it?

897
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,760
<font color="

898
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,240
It is my faith.

899
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:43,760
I perhaps took too much pride
in my powers of concealment.

900
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,760
Religious vows are not called
"taking the veil"

901
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:52,000
merely because of our attire.

902
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:56,720
We are trained to hide
<font color="

903
00:54:56,720 --> 00:55:00,920
Fear, loneliness...

904
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:02,480
..doubt.

905
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:08,880
The less we speak of our
faults to others,

906
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:12,840
the louder they roar
in our own ears.

907
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:17,440
Our flaws are a work in progress,

908
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:19,160
between ourselves...

909
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:22,920
..and God.

910
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:26,080
<font color="
down, though, has he?

911
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:29,360
It always looked to me as if you
and him are right old pals.

912
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:32,960
You seek to simplify the matter.

913
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,240
Well, I could try and complicate it.

914
00:55:35,240 --> 00:55:37,080
But I don't think it would help.

915
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:43,400
In the religious life, we speak of
<font color="

916
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,000
..as a dark night of the soul.

917
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,840
There is no light anywhere.

918
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:56,160
And the very act of seeking it,

919
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:57,640
of seeking him...

920
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:02,920
..only emphasises the void.

921
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:11,680
You are to tell no-one.

922
00:56:13,240 --> 00:56:15,520
Only God can help me.

923
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:20,720
<font color="

924
00:56:20,720 --> 00:56:23,480
..then my life has been wasted.

925
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:30,800
It's an absolute N-O
from Sister Monica Joan.

926
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:32,560
I stood at her
bedroom doorway, pleading,

927
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:34,600
but now the guests are
starting to arrive.

928
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:37,440
Well, somebody's got to wear
<font color="

929
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:40,600
I'm wearing the pinafore dress!
I can't come back in another outfit,

930
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:42,400
people will think
I'm enjoying myself.

931
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:48,520
Well, don't look at me, I'm the
shopping.

932
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:50,840
CHEERING

933
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:56,200
Thank you, Sister Frances.

934
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:59,560
<font color="

935
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:01,560
CHEERING

936
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:06,200
..wearing an elegantly
streamlined shift

937
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:08,760
in saxe-blue Courtelle.

938
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,880
UNDER HER BREATH:
With a white rollneck collar.

939
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:14,680
With a white rollneck collar

940
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:18,200
and detachable cuffs
<font color="

941
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:21,840
Thank you, Sister Hilda.

942
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:28,240
Bringing our trio of
modes to a close,

943
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:31,920
we have able assistance from...

944
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:35,760
MATURE JENNIFER: Nonnatus House
was far from doomed.

945
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,800
Instead, it was changing,

946
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:43,400
<font color="
of time itself.

947
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:44,520
CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS

948
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:48,080
Smile for Mother Mildred. That's it.

949
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:53,000
The spring of 1966 was full
of new beginnings.

950
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:56,920
Some were as evident
as daffodils in sunshine,

951
00:57:56,920 --> 00:58:00,200
others barely stirred
<font color="

952
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:03,240
They would be revealed
when their season came.

953
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:10,600
Nonnatus would not give less
or strive less.

954
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:14,160
And it would not falter,
as it tried to find its way,

955
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:19,040
because those who lived and worked
there knew what it was to love

956
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:22,200
<font color="

957
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:27,760
Love was all,
regardless of its source.

958
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:32,920
With love, all things were possible.

959
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:36,200
Only without it could
anyone be lost.

960
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,240
I'm giving the baby up for
adoption, Sister.

961
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:45,600
I'm under orders, and honour bound,
<font color="

962
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:48,800
I learn about the Lady Emily
to Sister Julienne. You know that.

963
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:51,480
Fred Buckle!

964
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:54,040
She only came in with a fever.
What have you done to her?

965
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:57,280
And now we have
to find another way ahead,

966
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:00,000
or Nonnatus House will not be
