MATURE JENNIFER:
In the spring of 1966...

2
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:38,120
..the ground did not feel
entirely firm beneath our feet.

3
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:42,280
We were shaken by new
revelations

4
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,040
and stirred by ancient fears.

5
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,400
CHATTER

6
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,880
The modern world brought
<font color="

7
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,560
and our troubles did not
always vanish

8
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,040
when we turned to face them.

9
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,520
BOOING

10
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,600
Let me help you there, Mr Clarke.

11
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,120
I had a letter from Mother
Mildred this morning.

12
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,400
I think it is...

13
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,640
<font color="
visitation.

14
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,840
Would you like to come to my office
and hear me read it to our Sisters?

15
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,120
I would not.

16
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,440
"I request you express my
gratitude to Nurse Crane for
her diligence

17
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,960
"in providing photographic

"My response is as follows.

"If the Almighty had intended us

We are so grateful to you,
Pastor Robinson.

30
00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:37,080
I'm happy to be able to help.

31
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,800
I'm just sorry for your trouble.

32
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,040
Take your time, Mr Clarke.
We're not in any hurry.

33
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,880
<font color="
about your leg?

34
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,520
It's an old injury. I was driving
a lorry at the packing plant

35
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,160
and there was an accident. They
blamed it on my inexperience.

36
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,720
Back home, he was an accountant.
But when he was
<font color="

37
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,240
the packing plant wouldn't
have him back.

38
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,600
And there's no work in
book-keeping.

39
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,880
Mmm.
Or at least, no work to be had.

40
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,120
Not for people like us.

41
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,560
Of course. That's fine.

42
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,760
<font color="

43
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,280
has Fiona Aylward been re-admitted?

44
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,880
I'm afraid so. Her husband
telephoned to say she was feeling

45
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,400
faint and running a temperature,

46
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,080
so I asked him to bring her
straight in.

47
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,480
Does she have an infection?
<font color="

48
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,920
Come with me. We'll pop
along and look at her.

49
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,200
Was there any doubt,
when the baby was delivered,

50
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,920
that the placenta and
membrane were intact?

51
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,200
None at all.

52
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,560
She was a little bit tearful
<font color="

53
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,600
so let's give her lots of
reassurance.

54
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,800
Hello there!

55
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,640
It's Mrs O'Malley, isn't it?

56
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,040
I didn't know you were on our
books again.

57
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,800
You look so glamorous.

58
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,840
Like a film star.

59
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,320
Off anywhere nice?

60
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,160
<font color="
I'm coming here for me check-up.

61
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,760
But it never hurts to make
a little effort.

62
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,040
Know what I'm saying?

63
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:19,520
I can tell it's not going down.

64
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,560
Well, temperatures can be
naughty things.

65
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,360
Yes, I see no harm in some
<font color="

66
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,840
and we'll run a few tests to see
if we can shed any light
on the cause.

67
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:32,840
Sister Franklin will keep a kindly
eye on you in the meantime.

68
00:04:32,840 --> 00:04:34,800
It makes me smile just seeing
you again.

69
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,600
Likewise.

<font color="
little kitchen down the corridor.

71
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,800
A pretty stern-looking matron
gave me quite the stare.

72
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,440
Hello, Sister. Hello, Mr Aylward.

73
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,480
An orderly would have been more than
happy to do that for you. Ah!

74
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,600
<font color="
bloods and swabs before we
start the antibiotics.

75
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,680
Of course, Mr Scarisbrick.
Good day to you.

76
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,000
I'm looking forward to hearing
all about baby Jonathan.

77
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,520
Oh, he's simply glorious!
Getting bigger and bigger.

78
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,160
<font color="
Matthew's mother.

79
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,000
I have to get out of here in short
order, as I'm not sure she knows

80
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,480
one end of the baby from the other.

81
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,040
She always had nannies
for Matthew and his brothers.

82
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,320
Mrs Aylward,
<font color="

83
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,080
Oh, I hope so. Last time you
saw me, I was giving birth.

84
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,760
But you have been off your food.

85
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,000
She didn't touch
last night's beef stroganoff.

86
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,760
Beef stroganoff?

87
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,560
No prizes for guessing
who cooked that.

88
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:25,920
<font color="

89
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,320
Not exactly cordon bleu. It
should've been cordoned off.

90
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:29,360
Ah!

91
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,120
I better organise your blood tests.

92
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,400
I'm so sorry. You say
you've lost your co-op card,

93
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,960
but I can only find records
for your little girls.

94
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,400
<font color="
seen with this pregnancy?

95
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,920
Better late than never! Eh, Sister?

96
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,000
Well, let's start
at the beginning, shall we?

97
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,200
Can you remember
the date of your last period?

98
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,640
We'll work out your due date
<font color="

99
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:18,760
You're all right, Sister. I know
exactly when I got pregnant.

100
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,960
I imagine you'll be wanting a
little boy if you've already got
two little girls.

101
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,160
Mind you, it's always good to keep
an open mind, don't you think?

102
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,280
<font color="
adoption, Sister.

103
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:54,040
That's why I don't care what
sex it is.

104
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,600
That's why I've never been
here before.

105
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,720
Now, if I could, I'd like
to forget the whole thing,

106
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,560
but every day I'm finding it
<font color="

107
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,560
But...why are you ignoring it?
Even if you...

108
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,280
..you do want to give up the
baby, there are things
that have to be set in train.

109
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:11,280
Is there a form I need to fill in?

110
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,960
You can take care of that
for me, can't you?

111
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,280
<font color="
married?

112
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,000
I want to speak to someone
more senior.

113
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,960
I need to see someone more
official, like.

114
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,000
I-I didn't mean to upset you,
Mrs O'Malley. I...

115
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Someone senior. You heard me!

116
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,000
<font color="
No.

117
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,280
No.

118
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,360
Everything's in order.

119
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,960
Or it will be.

120
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:40,520
Actually, Mrs O'Malley,

121
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,680
I've been working here
for nearly two years now.

122
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,200
I'm senior enough to deal with this.

123
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,680
Maybe I can start afresh.

124
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:48,960
<font color="

125
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,560
You're preaching to the choir
on that one, Sister.

126
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,680
Well, if you move the three
o'clock to four o'clock, we should
just about get away with it.

127
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,320
Why not?

128
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,800
Well, I-I could take a taxi.

129
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,800
Very well. I'll familiarise
<font color="
arguments underway.

130
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,840
Ah! Is...

131
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,440
All right, all right, excellent.
Thank you.

132
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,840
I'll see you when I get there.
Thank you. Goodbye.

133
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,400
I'm so sorry. I...

134
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,440
I've dealt with worse spillages,
<font color="

135
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,640
Did I do the right thing,
bringing her in?

136
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,080
Mr Scarisbrick talks about
"feelings of faintness",

137
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,440
but she went down like a tree.

138
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,680
She was out for the count.
I just panicked.

139
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:35,800
Of course you did the right thing.

140
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,920
<font color="
after they have a baby,

141
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,200
but it does make sense
to look into any problems.

142
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,320
We'll soon have her back
with baby Jonathan.

143
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,360
My husband, he's away at
sea a lot,

144
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,000
months at a time.

145
00:08:56,680 --> 00:08:58,400
<font color="

146
00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:01,520
You know what I'm saying?

147
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:02,760
I think you're saying...

148
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,920
..you've done things you regret.

149
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,280
Are you still in contact
with the baby's father?

150
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,720
It was so quick.

151
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,880
A fling, I think you'd call it.

152
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,880
<font color="

153
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,000
We need to deal with what's
before you now.

154
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,960
The last time Dessy was home,

155
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,920
I wasn't showing,
so he was none the wiser.

156
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,240
And touch wood,
if everything goes to plan...

157
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,640
..he'll be away till after my
<font color="

158
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,160
So, what I think is best is that...

159
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,280
..I have the baby...

160
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,880
..don't tell him...

161
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,560
..and put it up for adoption.

162
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,440
Do you not think your other
children might work it out?

163
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,320
They're very young.

164
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:54,520
I've hidden it from them.

165
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,480
<font color="

166
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,480
I've been wearing a girdle
when I go out,

167
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,040
and then people just think I've been
hitting the cream cakes.

168
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,000
Very well. I suggest that as soon
as your labour starts,

169
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,720
you come straight to the
maternity home.

170
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,880
<font color="

171
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,880
If there's anything you'd prefer,
I'm sure Chef would be more than

00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,000
happy to prepare it for you. It's
imperative we get your strength up.

173
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,200
I need to visit the lavatory.
I could bring a commode, if that's
any easier.

174
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:23,520
<font color="

175
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,840
Please I...I just want you
to take my plate.

176
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,480
Of course.

177
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,280
I want to do this alone.

178
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,320
I'm being mindful of my dignity!

179
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:32,800
Of course.

180
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,800
THUD
FIONA CRIES OUT

181
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,960
Oh, Fiona! I should never
<font color="

182
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,760
Oh, I shouldn't have been
so ridiculously stubborn.

183
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,960
Let's bite the bullet and join
forces.

184
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,400
And I can assure you your dignity
will be protected at all times.

185
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,640
Fred, can we take
a fresh loaf, please?

186
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,720
<font color="
storm tonight.

187
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,760
Chocolate biscuits, as well?

188
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,760
CHUCKLES

189
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,160
My kinda meal!

190
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,640
Ah, not for me, I'm afraid.

191
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,000
For a homeless family
I'm ministering to.

192
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,520
Homeless? No-one should be
<font color="

193
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,800
Hmm. It happens more often
than we realise -

194
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,400
eviction, simply for getting
behind on the rent.

195
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,000
It's not right, but it's real. And
we must help where we can.

196
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:33,400
No no.

197
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:34,920
Put your money away.

198
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,680
<font color="
but there is no need.

199
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,400
It's too late for Mrs O'Malley
to regret her mistakes.

200
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,760
I shouldn't have made her
feel awkward about them.

201
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,160
She didn't need that.

202
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,840
Mrs O'Malley needs good,
solid encouragement

203
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,600
<font color="

204
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,160
and it sounds as though you
gave her both.

205
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,360
I'll be giving her a home visit,
too. She's anaemic.

206
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:58,920
And she'll need iron tablets.

207
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,680
The main lesson
you need to digest from this

208
00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:05,240
is that we need to be ready when
<font color="

209
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,720
It's like having a shilling
in your pocket for the meter.

210
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:14,080
We must always be prepared.
Now, I believe we have

211
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,440
an appointment with
a cheese and onion flan!

212
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,120
Gosh, it all feels as if it might
<font color="

213
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,600
Has Mr Scarisbrick been in touch
with you directly, Sister Julienne?

214
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,320
He has indeed.

215
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,440
And I am reporting everything
to Mother Mildred.

216
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,600
It certainly seems very
"all systems go".

217
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,440
We shall see.
<font color="

218
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,600
thus far seems...

219
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,200
..extremely satisfactory.

220
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,960
In my mind's eye, him look like
Dr Kildare on the television.

221
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,360
Mr Scarisbrick?

222
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,560
He's certainly quite suave, and
there is a hint of a cheekbone,

223
00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:54,600
<font color="
side of middle-aged.

224
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,880
Maturity can bring
very valuable experience.

225
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,440
THEY CHUCKLE

226
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,480
Anyway, there's scant time for
getting square-eyed at the moment.

227
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,600
We're rushed off us feet,
being one man down.

228
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,920
<font color="
at the Lady Emily is excellent.

229
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,800
And no-one can deny that
Mr Scarisbrick is genuinely caring,

230
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,520
but I also am quite certain

231
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,360
there is something
we can take to the table there

232
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,240
in terms of midwifery practice.

233
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,960
<font color="
cannot take the place

234
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:26,040
of kind and sensible support when
a woman is at her most fragile,

235
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,920
because when she is
at her most fragile,

236
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,320
that's when she finds her strength.

237
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,200
What do you think,
Sister Monica Joan?

238
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,600
<font color="
of the mighty oak.

239
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,400
Its shadows cast confusion.

240
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,760
Stand, instead,

241
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,960
beside the saplings.

242
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,720
There is more light.

243
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,760
You will gain clarity.

244
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:04,760
Ohhh!

245
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,560
EXHALES

246
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,680
Iron tablets.
<font color="

247
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,880
Come on in.
Thank you.

248
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,920
Oh, we aim to please.

249
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,840
Is that your husband?

250
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,480
He looks lovely.

251
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,760
All he ever wanted
was a family of his own.

252
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,400
Had a picture of it in his head.

253
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:41,960
Little house...

254
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,080
<font color="

255
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,040
..doting wife...

256
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,120
..little boy...

257
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,280
..little girl.

258
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,080
I gave him two girls.

259
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,240
It was near enough.

260
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,000
Maybe he'd understand.

261
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,160
His own family, Sister.

262
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,720
Well, from here on in,
whatever happens,

263
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,760
<font color="
the way.

264
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,840
Look at you.

265
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,880
You must be my age.

266
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,720
What happened, huh?

267
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,360
I ended up like this
and you ended up like that.

268
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,320
Mr Scarisbrick? Do we have the
results of Fiona Aylward's tests?

269
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:28,360
<font color="

270
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,520
How's her temperature this
morning? She's still pyrexial

271
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,000
and seems unusually weak.

272
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,400
I didn't like the look of that
petechial rash you spotted, as
you know.

273
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,280
Septicaemia crossed my mind, but
<font color="

274
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,640
I thought I'd root out the last set
of blood tests we have for her

275
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,280
whilst we wait for the results
of her new ones.

276
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:47,320
Her antenatal tests?

277
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,120
Yes. They're not entirely consistent

278
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,520
with a straightforward iron
<font color="

279
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,560
so I've consulted with the
haematologist at St Luke's.

280
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,680
He'd like to perform
a bone marrow aspiration
here on Friday.

281
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,440
He'll take a sample of soft
bone tissue

282
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,680
so we can see what's really
<font color="

283
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,880
and to see if there's anything
more serious lurking.

284
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,240
I do hope there isn't.

285
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,520
So do I, but we must investigate
and wait.

286
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,960
You take good care of her in the
meantime...and her husband.

287
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,520
I will.

288
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,280
<font color="

289
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,080
Are you feeling sad, Sister
Monica Joan?

290
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,800
"Sad"...is such a...

291
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,560
..specific word.

292
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,880
I feel a bit sad, if I'm honest.

293
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,760
It was something a patient said,

294
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,040
not for the first time!

295
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,320
But each time I hear it, it...

296
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,720
<font color="

297
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,160
She pointed out
that we were the same age

298
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,560
but were on completely
different paths.

299
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,520
We've led such contrasting lives.

300
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,360
Now, I know some Sisters
think all the time about the
sacrifices they've made

301
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,720
<font color="

302
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,440
I hardly had to give up anything.

303
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,240
I entered the convent
when I was seventeen...

304
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,120
..before the Beatles, before
the pill.

305
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,760
I've never had a boyfriend...

306
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,040
..never mind been kissed.

307
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,200
<font color="

308
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,320
And I never will.

309
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:24,800
The pinafore dress was...

310
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,640
..quite sufficient.
I was mortified when they made me
wear that.

311
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,480
The first time I saw a miniskirt

312
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,360
in Harrogate, I was quite perturbed.

313
00:17:32,360 --> 00:17:35,640
<font color="
lady's skirt's ridden up

314
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,200
"and no-one's told her." So I did.

315
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:43,440
I was very polite about it,
but...she gave me short shrift.

316
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:48,480
Can I really understand my patients'
problems when I'm so...

317
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,640
...unworldly?

318
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,440
<font color="

319
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,840
Conundrums require solutions.

320
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,800
Do you have one?

321
00:18:02,360 --> 00:18:04,000
No.

322
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,320
I, too, am challenged...

323
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,560
..and can find no answer.

324
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,360
May I interject

325
00:18:14,360 --> 00:18:15,880
and venture a suggestion?

326
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,680
Life never quite goes to plan,
<font color="

327
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,800
I was just getting into my
routine with Jonathan, and...

328
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,520
Oh, if I talk about him I shall cry.

329
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,480
You must miss him dreadfully.

330
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,960
I miss everything.

331
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,040
I just want to go home.

332
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,560
I miss my own bed.

333
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,680
I miss...lining up my
<font color="

334
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,880
and musing on what I'm
going to cook for Matthew!

335
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,840
I miss writing in my journal,

336
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,720
with Jonathan's head tucked
in up against my neck.

337
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,080
You keep a journal?

338
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,920
I hope it's full to bursting
with delicious scandal.

339
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,480
<font color="

340
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,600
Oh, there's nothing in it, really.

341
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,840
I always looked rather fashionable -

342
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,200
I worked in advertising - but deep
down,

343
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,280
I'm actually quite old-fashioned.

344
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,440
You're in better company
than you might think.

345
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:13,600
<font color="

346

I won't tell anyone if you don't!

Who knows, maybe one day
we'll both break out

348
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:22,440
and run down Regent Street
in our bikinis!

It's a date!

Miss Higgins, it's Sister Hilda.

Oh, Sister Hilda, how may
I help you?

I'm telephoning...on the

Hm... Next time you're throwing out

..the more "groovy" end
of the spectrum.

Well, I'm afraid I'm not familiar
with the term "groovy".

Er, but I could offer you Woman's

Might I remind you that this is
a doctor's surgery and not a...

364

Miss Higgins is in an acerbic mood.

What's wrong with her?

369
00:20:28,120 --> 00:20:33,240
Oh, words have been had with
Nonnatus House. It wasn't to
do with medical matters.

370
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,600
There is such a lot of tension
<font color="

371
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,600
Miss Higgins knows as well
as we do

372
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,120
that our fortunes are tied up
with the Order

373
00:20:42,120 --> 00:20:46,200
but we have no control
over what they choose to do.

374

<font color="

376
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,320
Sister Julienne's whole reason
for doing this is to
underpin their work in Poplar.

00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,200
I do know that.

378
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,720
And I don't want to see them shut
up shop for lack of funds.

00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,400
Our general practice

00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,200
but the maternity home can't.

381
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,920
Just as they can't survive
without us.

382
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,680
I'd grown to cherish the fact that
we're so dependent on each other.

383
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:20,200
But things really do feel
quite precarious right now.

if I tell you to have faith.

385
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:28,000
But I will say this -
I am praying every day.

00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,120
That's my girl.

00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:37,600
Keep staring at the flowers,
Mrs Aylward. The local
anaesthetic is working.

00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,720
You shan't feel a thing.

<font color="

390
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,360
We're just double-checking
a few things.

391
00:21:44,360 --> 00:21:46,280
It won't take too long.

392
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,200
I might not be a haematologist,

393
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,880
but even I know why doctors
do bone marrow tests.

00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:22,960
Mr Aylward...

00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,960
What is wrong with my wife,

396
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,120
Please. I just want someone
to tell me the truth.

397
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:30,200
The truth is...

398
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,920
..we don't know.

399
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,280
But we're trying to find out.

400
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,560
The bone marrow test will help us
rule out certain things.

401
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,000
"Certain things"?

Do we not need to move her
to a proper hospital?

00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:55,440
With the best will in the world,
this is a maternity clinic! If... If

Mrs Aylward will be moved when the

thinking, if your wife is going to

408
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,960
be here for a longer period than we
first envisaged, we could set up

409
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,000
an adjoining room for baby Jonathan,

00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,200

I managed to find some clothes for
the children in the charity box

at Nonnatus House.

415
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,480
We can take those over with the
food for Mr and Mrs Clarke.

00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,080
It's so warm and toasty in here.

they must be in that place.

We'll warm them up soon. Come and

me working, was it not?

518
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,880
I didn't know.

519
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,560
My suspicions were aroused.

520
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,200
And, meanwhile, I am under orders
and honour bound to report back

521
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,320
everything I learn about the Lady
<font color="

522
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:43,800
You know that!
And will you?

523
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,880
There's much that could go
unspoken. So much does.

524
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,160
Women don't die here.

525
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,320
I'm not going to say that makes no
difference, Mr Scarisbrick...

526
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,520
..because this is less lethal than
<font color="

527
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,080
We're both entirely aware of that!

528
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:03,560
But
you are still breaking the law!

529
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,560
All morals, all beliefs,
all views aside,

530
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,160
what you are doing is criminal,

531
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,080
and I cannot allow the Order
to walk into it.

532
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:12,520
<font color="

533
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:13,720
And you shouldn't want to!

534
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,280
Do you not read the papers,
Sister Franklin?

535
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:20,080
The idea of hospitals
performing abortions is being
discussed in Parliament.

536
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,880
Being discussed in Parliament
<font color="

537
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,400
I'm not interested in
having a debate with you.

538
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,360
I'm interested in collating
all the relevant facts

539
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,440
so that I can put them
before Sister Julienne

540
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,440
and allow her to come
<font color="

541
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,800
I trust this will all be done
in confidence.

542
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,000
You're good at doing things in
confidence, aren't you,
Mr Scarisbrick?

543
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:46,800
I think you'll find Sister
Julienne's defining virtue is
integrity.

544
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,440
<font color="

545
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,440
Everything smells so fresh.

546
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,840
It's a constant battle against
the damp.

547
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,320
You have to keep on top of it.
Honestly,

548
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,560
they chucked up these flats
without a second thought

549
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,360
of what it's actually like
<font color="

550
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,200
As soon as you put fresh
paper up, it's mouldy.

551
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,120
The wind gets in, the rain...

552
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,840
Oh, Jacinta, I'm sorry.

553
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,080
I'm the worst woman in the world.

554
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,200
I'm not going to let you say
that, because it's just not true!

555
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:24,880
<font color="
Sister.

556
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,120
Nothing you can say to
change my mind.

557
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:32,840
And no matter how much I clean,
I still feel so...dirty.

558
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,560
I've told you, I'm not having
this!

559
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,520
I'm giving my child away,
<font color="

560
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,320
Every time I think about it, I
just...

561
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,240
..fall to pieces.

562
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:46,920
Hello?

563
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,560
CHILD: Daddy's here!

564
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,440
WHISPERS: Is that your husband?

565
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,200
Hey, yous. How are you? Look how
much you've grown!

566
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,440
<font color="
One for you and one for you.

567
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,360
Where's your mammy? Huh?

568
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:05,920
OK...

569
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,480
Where's your mammy? Huh?

570
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,440
Jacinta?

571
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,120
Jacinta, guess who?

572
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:14,640
OK...

573
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,200
I'll...

574
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:18,880
Jacinta!

575
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,120
What the...?
<font color="

576
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,080
Suffering ice cakes! Are you... Are
you taking holy orders now?

577
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,720
Jaysus, do I not even get a hello?

578
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:32,280
Jacinta?

579
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,200
What's going on?

580
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,520
Why won't me wife turn around?
Erm...

581
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:42,680
You dirty little tart!

<font color="

583
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:45,480
Keep away from me, Dessy!

584
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,800
Well, it's not mine, is it? Well,
is it?

585
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,920
Mr O'Malley, I'm going to have
to ask you not to be violent,

586
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,120
or I shall call the police.

587
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:58,960
Oh, shut your hole.

588
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,440
Well?

589
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:03,880
No.

590
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,160
<font color="

591
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,480
Oh?

592
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,560
Are we offering a delivery
service now?

593
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,480
It's just a couple of loaves
and a...and a few bits.

594
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,480
Nurse Anderson and Cyril told me

595
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,480
about this family fallen upon
hard times.

596
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,160
<font color="
hard times

597
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,520
if you keep on giving things
away.

598
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,560
But, Vi, they're living in a
squat.

599
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,000
And you said yourself there was a
shortage of houses at the moment.

600
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,440
I don't know why I bothered
<font color="

601
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,120
I should've just left the door open

602
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,440
and invited everyone in
for a free-for-all.

603
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,280
And no more tick!

604
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:44,360
I'm going to put my hand in that
till one day and find it empty

605
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,760
because you've given
everything away for free.

606
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,040
<font color="

607
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:03,720
I'm so sorry, Sister Julienne.

608
00:35:03,720 --> 00:35:06,960
I know I'm interrupting the
Great Silence, but when you
hear what I have to say,

609
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,960
I-I think you'll agree
it can't wait until the morning.

610
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:13,920
Just through here.

611
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,280
<font color="

00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,160
They're the people that sent
you that food the other day.

613
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,800
Er, we've brought you
some more bits and bobs.

614
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,160
Is...

615
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,120
Er, some more corned beef, and...

616
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,200
..swiss roll for the kiddies.

617
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,280
You're very kind.

618
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:41,960
<font color="

619
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,400
We will reimburse you as soon
as our circumstances allow.

620
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,960
We'll not hear of it.

621
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,920
You're in the East End now.

622
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,640
And in the East End, what we have

623
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,520
we share.

624
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,080
And this is commonplace there?
Yes. It is.

625
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,240
<font color="
a full disclosure.

626
00:36:08,240 --> 00:36:11,120
One wishes he had done so
without being asked.

627
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,360
It would appear our bid
to save Nonnatus House

628
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,600
by going into private practice
is now over.

629
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,040
Is there something you wish to say?
<font color="

630
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,400
I'm angry that wealthy women
can go there,

631
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:28,360
and ordinary women end up on a
table in a room above a pub,

632
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:32,280
that whether you are damaged
internally is down to
how much money you have.

633
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:37,400
The haves have it all, and the
<font color="

634
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,120
And yet I...

635
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,280
..I like Mr Scarisbrick.

636
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:42,560
I respect him.

637
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,800
And just in this moment,
that makes me angry, too.

638
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,600
Anger is always
an interesting emotion.

639
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,160
It never comes without
<font color="

640
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:58,240
You will work a week's notice at the
Lady Emily, after which...

641
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,200
...we will not speak of it again.

642
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,960
They're your dirty shoes.

643
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,440
Take them off. Or don't step
on the rug.

644
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:15,920
Er, you don't tell me what to do.
<font color="

645
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:17,760
Ball's in my court now.

646
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,000
Talking of which,
you've been unfaithful.

647
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,600
Any court in the land would say that
you're an unfit mother

648
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,760
and give them kids to me.
She's not an unfit mother.

649
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,200
She's a very good mother.

650
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:31,400
<font color="
It's what the courts
think that matters.

651
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:32,560
And they'd agree with me.

652
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,160
She's damaged goods.

653
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,120
And for the record,
I'm only here to see my kids...

654

what to do.

Sorry, there's something I
have to do.

00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,880
Do you have no sympathy
for your wife, Mr O'Malley?

658

Left alone while you were at sea?

659
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,760
I know life isn't as black and white
<font color="

660
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,520
and letters pages! And I
know it must be very hard

661
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,640
to forgive what Jacinta's done.
It... It must feel like a betrayal.

662
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,080
Feel like a betrayal?

663
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,560
It is a betrayal.

664
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:22,160
Look, there's a lot in life that
<font color="

665
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:26,160
but I do know
that she's a good woman.

666
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:31,360
And I do know that she just wants
what's best for all your children.

667
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:32,680
"All"?

668
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,360
I've only got two, love.

669
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,000
That thing in there...

670
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,680
..is not mine.

DOOR OPENS

672
00:38:49,240 --> 00:38:51,600
It might be best to sit down,
Mr Aylward.

673
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,680
That sounds ominous.

674
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,320
Why don't I take baby Jonathan off
your hands for a while?

00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,840
Dr Carlson has got the results
of your bone marrow aspiration.

676
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,600
<font color="
it's not the news we'd hoped for.

677
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,760
The tests show that you have
acute myeloid leukaemia.

678
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,920
This... This is ridiculous.

679
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,400
I mean, she only came in with a
fever. What have you done to her?

Matthew...

Puerperal fever and leukaemia have
very similar symptoms.

682
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:29,680
So you missed it?

683
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,560
Is that what you're saying? This was
some sort of misdiagnosis?

684
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:33,920
I'm not saying that.

685
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,360
Perhaps you and I could
speak outside, Mr Aylward.

686
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,600
<font color="
Of course.

687
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:47,440
Darling?

00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,200
Nobody's made any mistakes.

689
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:54,760
And nothing you do or say now is
going to change the fact that I'm...

690
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:57,560
...ill.

691
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,600
There must be something
more that you can do for her.

692
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:15,120
<font color="
we will explore all avenues.

693
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:19,680
There's a specialist in Manchester,
a Dr Prince, I wish to telephone
for guidance,

694
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:23,480
and we should try a blood
transfusion, see if that can't
perk your wife up.

695
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,280
<font color="
than just perking up, sir.

696
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:31,200
No. Currently, I do not advise
moving her to another facility.

697
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:32,640
She's just too weak.

698
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,960
Call me naive, but I refuse
to give up hope.

699
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:40,640
Oh!

700
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,640
Mrs Buckle mentioned you were
<font color="

701
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,760
...purchasing some magazines.

702
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,240
I've broken a rule, haven't I?

703
00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:51,960
Have I?

704
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,880
I think it's tremendous that, er,

705
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:57,320
you're keen to understand young
women like Mrs O'Malley,

706
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,440
on many levels so very different
from yourself.

707
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,840
<font color="
facilitates that...

708
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:04,640
I am learning a lot.

709
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,560
...then it can only be good.

710
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,480
I hereby grant you permission

711
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:14,600
to read one women's magazine a week,
so long as you do so

712
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,120

KNOCK ON DOOR

715
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:31,000
Are you writing in your journal,
Mrs Aylward?

716
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:32,800
Please call me Fiona.

717
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,480
It seems rather pointless
standing on ceremony now.

718
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:39,920
Could you do something for me?
<font color="

719
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,920
I'm writing a letter to Matthew.

720
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:43,360
Well...

721
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,200
..just in case.

722
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,360
If I dictate it,
could you write it for me?

723
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,600
Of course.

724
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:57,680
I only got as far as "Dear Matthew"
and then I rather ran out of steam.

725
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,560
<font color="
something incredibly difficult,

726
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,280
I find it best to...

727
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:08,320
..just say what's in your head.
Who cares if it jumps about?

728
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:09,680
We can always fillet it down

729
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,960
and...make more sense of it later.

730
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,600
I don't care if I have to write it
<font color="

731
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,360
We'll make it wonderful.

732
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:20,560
Ready?

733
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,040
Ready.

734
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,240
And the blood transfusion?

735
00:42:32,240 --> 00:42:34,600
Doesn't seem to have helped.

736
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:38,920
If she's deteriorating rapidly,
you just have to let nature

737
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:40,240
take its course.

...no amount of money can make
Fiona Aylward better.

00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:52,440
I suppose at times like this we are
all as poor - or rich -
as each other.

742
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,920
My mother went to Harrods yesterday,

743
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,440
bought Jonathan a sailor's suit.

<font color="
Popeye.

745
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,920
I think she's...reliving my
babyhood.

746
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,360
The next thing you know,
she'll be putting his name
down for prep school.

747
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:20,920
We always said...

748
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,680
..we don't want him to board,
<font color="

749
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:27,760
We want him home every night...

750
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,480
..all three of us round the table...

751
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:34,760

with the Lady Emily clinic
and with Mr Scarisbrick.

843
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,480
No partnership with them
would be...

844
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:17,720
..appropriate.

845
00:52:17,720 --> 00:52:21,040

it, Sister.

849
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:34,200
Not at the cost of legality
or the Order's moral standing.

has a certain sideline.

Sister, they all do it.

00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:51,120
Why wouldn't they?

857
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,320
I have been naive at best,

858
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:58,720
wilfully, doggedly blind at worst.
The scheme had...

such a difference here.

But at what cost?

862
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:10,160
You've cancelled the relationship on
point of principle.

863
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:15,040
In my experience, there's no better
reason for ever doing anything.

868
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:34,080
Goodnight.
Good evening.

869
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:37,560
This is for Mr Clarke.
He has a job interview!

870
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:40,920
Really? Your trousers are going
<font color="

871
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,800
Mrs Wallace has come to our
rescue again.

872
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:47,480
She knows a dry cleaner in need
for a part-time book-keeper.

873
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,040
Mr Clarke has his interview
tomorrow.

874
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:51,440
A dry cleaner?

875
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:54,480
It's a wise move to send him
<font color="

876
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:56,320
Do you want me to pick him
out a tie?

877
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:57,680
Mm-hm.

878
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,560
What's going on in that little
head of yours, pal, eh?

879
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,400
We thought we'd lost you
there, you know.

880
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:22,120
Thank the Lord we didn't.

881
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,280
Dessy, I'm so sorry.

882
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:35,800
<font color="

883
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:39,920
We all get lonely.

884
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:44,680
But he's here now, and...

885
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:47,520
..well, you always had
that picture in your head...

886
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:50,800
..the house...

887
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:53,440
..a boy.

888
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:59,840
Well, this little boy's come along
through no fault of his own.

889
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,240
<font color="
all right.

890
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:17,200
The reason I telephoned was...

891
00:55:18,240 --> 00:55:19,720
..I wanted to thank you...

892
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,520
..for everything that you did
for Fiona.

893
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:25,480
I appreciate it hugely...

894
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:28,360
..more than I can...

895
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:32,320
..I can ever say or will ever
<font color="

896
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:34,080
probably.

897
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:37,120
Delivering her baby was...a joy.

898
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:41,280
And looking after her was a
privilege.

899
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:45,960
I don't want to hang up.

900
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:50,800
If I hang up, it means
I have to go to the funeral.

901
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:54,960
I so wish I could be there.
<font color="

902
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:56,520
Fiona could be there...

903
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,120
..which is just bloody silly,
really.

904
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:02,120
Goodbye.

905
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:05,360
Goodbye, Mr Aylward.

906
00:56:15,720 --> 00:56:17,840
SIGHS

907
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:24,480
You look like a gentleman again.

908
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:26,480
I have been helped by one.

909
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:29,520
And there are some good
<font color="

910
00:56:33,720 --> 00:56:35,680
Right, then.

911
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:37,840
I better go and call the lift.

912
00:56:39,240 --> 00:56:40,280
I'll, is...

913
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:43,040
I'll...

914
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:45,720
I'll see yous when I get back.

915
00:56:49,720 --> 00:56:50,840
All four of you.

916
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:51,960
Really?

917
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,760
Oh, Dessy!

918
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:57,160
Goodbye, girls.

919
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:02,680
<font color="

MATURE JENNIFER:
Certainty isn't everything.

921
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:20,120
Sometimes the unknown is
better than the known,

922
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:24,360
and courage and love make
many things possible,

923
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:26,800
if not all.

924
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:30,360
Much is asked of people on a

925
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:32,840
Humility is called for...

926
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:34,640
..and acceptance

927
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:36,600
and resolve.

928
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:39,160
These are the quiet gifts.

929
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:44,800
These are the qualities
that help us to stand fast

930
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:46,960
when the world would have
us falter,

931
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:51,560
and our path is strewn with
<font color="

932
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:54,760
So move forward,

933
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:58,880
putting one foot in front of
the other, other lives...

934
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,080
..in front of ours.

935
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:03,640
There is pain...

936
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:06,960
..but there is love...

937
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:08,400
..and there is hope.

938
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:11,560
It seems we are to have a visitor.

940
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:16,120
Three hours I waited.

941
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:17,760
I won't be coming here again.

942
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,040
How bad do things have to be
before you'll help me?

943
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:22,480
You know, children, you have

944
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,000
an exceptionally clever mother.
Yay!

945
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:29,960
<font color="
but I am not yet dead!
