We walk, Mr. Cohen, not run.

Nurse Wilson, can you, please?

It's beyond me.

And me.

I thought there was no limit to your knowledge and skill.

Are you going like that?

I am not going at all.

I was rather looking forward

to seeing you in a swimming costume.

Ah, sausage!

Can I be of assistance?

Yes, instruct Nurse Wilson

to come to the Pageant.

We're raising money for an obstetric ultrasound.

It will save...

You see, Mr. Cohen?

The Empire has its uses.

It certainly does, Sister.

(music playing)

(men whistling)

Oh, isn't this fun?

Super.

But you wouldn't catch me.

Oh, you'd look so stunning.

Oh!

Not said a word to anyone.

(cheers and wolf whistles)

Please tell the judges,

what is your ambition, Nurse Griffen?

Well, it's to marry a...

Doctor!

STUDENT: We're doctors!

Not yet, you're not!

You promised me you would behave.

Chin chin.

Why do you want to make those eyes at me for

If they don't mean what they say?

Here we are.

Congratulations, Dr. Enderbury.

We are so pleased for you, Lily!

MEHTA: A little bird tells me

the competition was intense, but that you proved yourself

the best candidate.

To Charlie and Lily

and their future

at the Princess Margaret in St. Albans!

Charlie?

And maybe you'll find you're messing with dynamite

So why do you want to make those eyes at me for

If they don't mean what they say?

(applause and hearty cheers)

MATRON VOSPER: Fabulous voice, what a charming choice.

Next, Nurse Morris will sing for us.

Otto, dearest, I'm not feeling 100%.

Of course.

I'll go and fetch the car.

You're not going?

Good night.

I'd like to sip the honey sweet

From those red lips, you see

I love you dearly, dearly, and I want you to love me...

Nurse Wilson.

I wonder...

I absolutely rely on Mr. Powell.

I hope you can understand that.

Whatever you may think,

and I do understand what's been happening,

I would ask you, please, to...

Well, I...

I really rather need him at my side at the moment.

Excuse me.

(whispering)

Okay, thank you.

Angela...

Please, you have to leave me alone.

You have to stop this now.

I'm sorry.

Good night, sir.

It is what we agreed.

But she's different.

Take me home, please.

MEHTA: Mr. Powell!

Mr. Powell!

And now, my Lord and Lady,

uh, Doctor and your Holiness,

it's time to cast your votes for your favorite nurse.

Will it be Nurse Welling from Casualty?

Will it be Nurse Tomlinson?

Will it be our students' favorite, Nurse Tutt?

Why did you lie to me about the job, Charlie?

It's Otto, isn't it?

I sometimes think you believe you'd disappear without him.

We could have been happy in St. Albans; you know that.

I'm happy here.

What are you so frightened of?

Nothing, Lily.

I'm not.

Then don't walk away from me, please.

I love you, Charlie Enderbury.

I have ever since the moment I first clapped eyes on you.

But I want us to be happy.

We can't be happy here,

with you concerned about what everyone will think,

convincing yourself you've made mistake after mistake

and me sworn to secrets and all sorts

with Elizabeth and Jean,

lovely Jean,

but I sometimes wonder that she just thinks I'm...

I'm not sure what more I can stand.

What secrets?

I should never have mentioned it.

It's nothing.

Don't look at me like that.

Should never have mentioned what, Lily?

The man.

There, I said it.

What man?

Lily!

What are you talking about?

What man? What secrets?

I promised.

I swore on everything I hold true.

To Elizabeth?

What did you swear?

What happened?

Lily?

That I wouldn't tell anyone.

What was his name?!

You are shouting at me!

Mulligan?

Sergeant Mulligan?

I knew it.

I knew it had to happen.

What?

What are you doing?

I'm phoning Otto.

No, please, I promised Elizabeth!

Please, I promised!

I can't stand this, I can't!

(phone ringing)

The Powell residence.

ENDERBURY: Is Otto there?

No, Dr. Enderbury,

he said he was going back to the hospital...

Hmm.

Lily, what on earth...?

I promised Elizabeth.

Now, perhaps you will treat me like a woman

with two eyes and two ears and half a brain

and tell me what exactly is going on.

Where the hell is Powell when you really need him?

Drink this.

Assuage the effects of alcohol, so I'm told.

THEATER SISTER: Mrs. Walker's husband

put the car into a tree on Putney Common

under the influence.

Ambulance Service say she's fitted twice,

but the baby's heart is still beating.

Multiple fractures, facial lacerations...

Sir?

Right, yes.

Dr. Mehta, tell us when we're ready.

Ready.

Excellent.

Swab, please.

He's going to destroy us.

What I did...

What I did for Otto.

I always knew.

You can't run from something like that.

Did you kill someone, Charlie?

No, no.

Me? Of course not!

This was in Cyprus.

Hot, lovely Cyprus, Lil.

The time of our lives.

We wanted to celebrate Elizabeth getting engaged.

Getting engaged to Otto?

No, to Glen.

Lieutenant Glen Thorpe.

Yank-- U.S. Air Force.

Elizabeth was married before Otto?

What happened to him?

Elizabeth's fiancée.

The f...

That night, we drove to the beach.

There was a bar, probably still there.

It was run by an absolute rogue of a chap.

But they drank, Otto and Glen.

It was like a competition between them.

You know what Otto's like.

Otto doesn't drink, Charlie.

He did then.

No, what I mean is his confidence.

"I can do anything, get away with anything.

"No flies on Powell.

Things work out."

LILY: I'm not sure what you're telling me, Charlie.

ENDERBURY: The truth.

Isn't that what you want?

No, not any more, dear, please.

And Otto rolled the jeep.

Easily done.

If you're a drunk.

Glen died instantly.

C1 and C2 snapped.

We got Elizabeth to a hospital at dawn.

Small place run by nuns.

She was going to be all right.

And we thought, I suppose, no more about it.

No, I've thought about it every day--

every day-- ever since.

But what has that man got to do with it?

ENDERBURY: Mulligan was a Sergeant in the Military Police.

When they found the jeep--

and the body--

he started asking questions.

It was simple.

He wanted answers.

And Otto paid him off.

He bribed him.

Is Nurse Wilson here?

She asked me to tell you not...

Please, Mr. Powell!

Angela, please, I'm so...

I'm sorry, I promise I never meant ...

Never meant what?

What exactly, Mr. Powell?

For things to get like this.

For your wife to get involved, you mean?

Look, I don't mean you or Elizabeth any harm.

You have power over everything, but not me.

Do you understand that?

Look, I want you.

I want to be with you.

Nothing is simple like that.

I can't just...

Look...

It could be simple.

Do you think you just turned over a stone

and there I was, ready to be discovered by you?

No, of course I don't.

You don't know anything about me.

I'm sorry, I can't, I won't.

Just imagine for one tiny moment

that everything was simple.

This moment.

Here.

Now.

But it's not like that.

It's...

No.

Please, Otto.

You have to go.

Tomorrow morning, then.

Just give me some time to explain.

I'm on mornings.

(laughs)

It's all right.

Later.

4:00?

Meet me at the Regency Cafe.

Please.

Please.

(loud knocking)

MAN: Police!

Can you open the door, please?

The door!

They are at the door!

For heaven's sake, they have come!

Jeanie! Angela!

For Heaven's sake, they have come!

Richie?

TRUSCOTT: Do we have a fetal heartbeat?

MIDWIFE: Yes, but it's getting very fast.

MEHTA: The mother is hypotensive, Dr. Truscott.

We're going to lose her.

We're not losing anyone tonight, old boy.

Gentlemen, I'm going to get this baby out now.

Knife.

(baby crying)

Clamp and cut.

Clamp and cut, please.

(panting)

Inspector Thompson.

You are the last person

I expected to come across in a place like this, Powell.

I'm visiting a friend.

As long as you're within the law.

I don't want trouble, Harry.

I just want to see that Maureen is safe.

Mother...

(sobbing)

I was only doing what I thought was best.

I know.

MRS. MULLIGAN: I wanted you safely married.

(gasps)

Ron...

THOMPSON: I'll speak to him, Beatie.

You have come, I see, mob handed, Thompson.

All to track down my little Maureen.

THOMPSON: We had word she was at this address.

I told you, dearest, that I would find her.

I assured you of that.

Sergeant Mulligan.

As was, Dr. Powell.

Chief Inspector now.

I was interrogating Powell as to his purpose here, sir.

Thompson's zealotry appears to have led me back to you.

Like a dusty road.

A track.

Quite so.

I'd like a word, Powell, with you.

Thompson has something of a soft spot

for Mrs. Mulligan,

but he's burdened by a sense of right.

Unlike you, Powell.

We know what you do:

a bespoke service for women who can pay.

No, for those that require it.

Oh, well, your high horse will look very broken

when you face a judge.

What do you want, Mulligan?

The law has never meant anything to you, has it?

What do you remember of Cyprus?

I remember a shoe.

An airman's shoe and a moved body.

No, I remember paying you, Mulligan.

Bribing you to forget all about it.

You've done very well, haven't you?

But the paths we take are so different.

Look at you: the drunk who ends up ruling the world...

What is this about?

Let me finish.

Cut me dead at the hospital, walked straight past me.

So I followed you home.

It was when I saw Elizabeth.

The white flowers in your home.

The way the drapes blew in the breeze.

Comfort.

Then I realized quite what I'd given you.

You're insane.

The opposite.

I am clear.

I stand in front of a man that any jury will condemn.

I stand in front of a man

who I allowed to escape a heinous crime.

An accident, Mulligan.

And be certain of this: I will see justice.

Enough.

It is time you returned to your wife and daughter.

You're in no position to give me orders.

The only thing you can do is beg not to go to prison...

I wouldn't beg you if my life depended on it.

(door closes)

(footsteps)

(door closes)

Mrs. J?

You should have gone home hours ago.

I was worried about Mrs. Powell,

and with you being at the hospital, I...

I think you should know about this.

Oh, yes.

I gave this to Elizabeth as a present.

An anniversary.

I...

I know what you've been worrying at, Mrs. J,

but you're wrong.

Now I think it's time you went home

and we all got some sleep, all right?

Elizabeth.

I've seen Mulligan.

Oh, God.

Has he been here?

In the house?

I need a drink.

Otto...

(footsteps approaching)

Otto, please...

Don't.

The smell is enough.

I killed Glen.

I rolled that jeep.

It was the work of a drunk.

And then I trapped us here in this.

Nine years, Elizabeth.

No, Otto.

What you did for me and Thomas was noble and brave.

What did Mulligan want, hmm?

An affair?

He has your and Charlie's statements and photographs.

He knows that you both lied.

He knows that you moved Glen, put him in the driver's seat.

Why didn't you tell me?

I thought I could control him.

Do you think you could carry on practicing

if one word of what happened in Cyprus comes out?

We can start again.

We can move somewhere.

What do you think all that money upstairs is for?

Maybe living alongside each other like this was...

is... impossible.

No.

It's not...

impossible.

But you've changed.

Recently.

I will not let you down.

What does Mulligan want, Elizabeth?

I think he wants me.

And to destroy you.

Hurry up, we're going to be late!

Jeanie?

What are you doing here?

I'm buying you a coffee whether you like it or not.

I've got to go on shift.

Not now, you don't.

You do those cappuccinos?

No, didn't think so.

Two teas and a bun.

What's gotten into you, Jeannie?

You're my sister

and I don't give a fig who knows it anymore.

Besides, it's Margaret's funeral today

and I was up half the night wondering where my husband was.

So I came down here, been upstairs,

and no one seems to have seen him.

I wonder how long some of those nurses lasted

after they took their swimming costumes off.

Jean...

No, I've decided.

Enough is enough.

I bet you haven't had breakfast, either.

Look at your hand shaking.

Ange?

I'm fine.

I need to get to work, or there'll be...

Otto Powell is a good but very complicated man.

What are you on about?

Ange, it's been obvious for months.

I'm not at all sure what to do.

Besides, he's married,

and in case you forget, I'm married.

And me too!

I'm married, but that doesn't seem

to count for much anymore, does it?

You only have one life, Ange.

Remember that.

TRUSCOTT: Whenever I see Matron, I wonder if I'm

in one of those television sagas set in the Crimean War.

(laughing)

This is Dr. Truscott, Mr. Walker.

Mr. Walker and his parents would like to thank you.

Right.

Well, all in a day's work.

What I did yesterday,

taking a drink and then driving that car,

very nearly killed the woman I love most in the world.

You saved me and my family

and our future, Dr. Truscott.

For that, there's no thanks great enough.

WOMAN (on record): Funny, but it's true

What loneliness can do

Since I've been away...

Put your tongue away, soldier.

Walking back to happiness, whoa, oh, yeah

(doorbell rings)

Said goodbye to loneliness, whoa, oh, yeah

I never knew I'd miss you, now I know what I must do

Walking back to happiness I shared with you...

(music continues faintly)

Jean?

What do you want?

I've come to ask for a favor.

Can I come in?

Is everything okay?

Super, actually.

Lil?

...so I'm coming back today

Walking back to happiness I threw away...

(turns off music)

I suppose I just wanted to stop

cleaning and tidying.

Washing.

Waiting.

Whatever's the matter?

I sometimes think you laugh at me, Jean.

I'm not like you.

I want to be... you know.

Easy.

Every man's...

And now I'm not at all sure what I am like

or even who I am.

You and Dr. Enderbury not going to St. Albans

is good news for me.

For all your friends!

It's not that.

I'm sorry, it's nothing to do with that.

Right-o.

Well, Mrs. Enderbury,

I think we should start with...

And tidying.

What did you want, Jean?

I wanted to ask you to come to a funeral.

Gosh.

Who's died?

A friend.

I'm not sure I'd be any use at a funeral.

I don't know.

Might take you out of yourself.

(laughs)

So what happened, Lily?

Nothing.

I just got rather upside down, I think.

That's all.

You know how I am.

Are you going to try for another baby?

I'd like you to, you know.

I'm on this new pill.

There.

Why?

Uh...

All I want is a child, Jean.

And all I want is a husband I can trust.

That's why, I suppose.

(phone ringing)

ENDERBURY: Where the hell have you been?

Listen to me.

You remember the military policeman from Cyprus,

Sergeant Mulligan?

He's here.

He's on to us.

I know, Charlie.

What do you mean you know?

Listen to me very carefully:

I will handle this.

How?

How?

What do you mean,

you will handle it?

I am not going to prison!

How did you know, old boy?

Charlie?

(door closes)

Charlie?

I saw him at the hospital nosing around.

Who knows, Charlie?

Just you and me, I swear.

What are you going to do?

Leave it to me.

He'll keep quiet?

POWELL: Come in, Mrs. J, please.

Elizabeth and I would like you

to go to the school this afternoon and fetch Thomas.

And then we would like you

to take him straight away to your parents.

Here's some money.

500 pounds.

POWELL: Thomas's protection is the most important thing.

In a few days, we'll be in touch.

If this is a scandal, Mr. and Mrs. Powell...

Everything we have done is for Thomas.

Oh, God, Otto.

That man is...

I feel sick.

Please.

I don't think I can bear that.

(playing guitar)

Won't you lay your head upon your savior's breast?

Oh, I love you...

Gosh.

Are you sure this is the right one?

And I bid you good night, good night, good night

I bid you good night, good night, good night.

Jean.

Mrs. Enderbury.

Moral support.

There's no accounting for taste.

Whose funeral is this?

Richard's lover.

I bid you good night, good night, good night.

(footsteps approaching)

Thank you for coming.

I wouldn't put an ambush beyond Powell.

Please, Ronald.

What is it you want?

Elizabeth's told me what's been going on.

You bait the hook with her.

Ronald, listen to him.

This has got to stop, Chief Inspector.

Do you hear?

It was the confidence,

the arrogance I could never stomach.

You have threatened and blackmailed Elizabeth.

I've only told her the truth.

About your lies in Cyprus.

Does she know how you go on breaking the law?

How your entire existence is based on deceit?

What patient in their right mind would go to a doctor like you?

One word from me and the scandal will destroy you.

Then do it, Mulligan.

But you will never have Elizabeth.

Please!

Ronald...

Now.

Suddenly you are no longer playing God.

Apologies the bullet is cheap, but we're all the same dead.

Can't you see?

Look at him.

A man whose hands are soaked in blood.

Nothing when you take away the money,

the house, Harley Street.

Nothing, Elizabeth.

ELIZABETH: Otto doesn't have a gun.

Then he's a bigger fool than I thought.

What did you think was going to happen?

What are you thinking?

What did you want, Powell?

For Christ's sake, put the gun down, Mulligan.

Whatever it is you're so determined to get,

I can't give you.

Do you want my house, my car?

Then take them-- they're yours.

But Elizabeth?

Take Elizabeth?

Don't you understand she's not mine to give?

Your wife?

Elizabeth is not my wife.

Not in any real sense.

Please, just tell him.

Otto...

I married Elizabeth

because it was the only way I could save the child

whose father I had killed.

What are you talking about, Powell?

Please, Otto...

Our marriage is a pact.

You know better than most.

If Elizabeth had come back from Cyprus

pregnant, unmarried, what would have happened to her?

To the baby?

Thomas would have been taken away, adopted.

And the shame?

No money.

A single mother with a growing boy.

And I swore

that I would protect every fiber of her being.

So you take Elizabeth.

But you have to put a bullet through my head first.

You came to tell me this?

Then you forced Elizabeth to telephone...

Can't you see if you kill me, dragging away Elizabeth,

what do you think will happen?

Nothing is going to change.

I should never have let you go back then.

I should never...

Elizabeth, what do you want?

Tell me what you want.

Please, put down the gun.

No.

No.

Enough.

Enough.

Every policeman in London saw us together yesterday.

They will come after you.

You made me do this.

Ronald, I understood you.

I felt it the first day.

And again, even when...

I lost Thomas's father in an instant,

and my future changed completely.

We're the same.

You... me.

Even Otto.

But we go on, Ronald.

It's what we must do.

Make the gun safe, Mulligan, and it ends here.

What have I done?

What have I become?

Ronald...

Ronald...

(Elizabeth screams)

Charlie?

Charlie?

He was going to kill you, Otto.

What was it?

Pentothal, from the bag.

How much did you use, Charlie?

Oh, for Christ's sake, Charlie, how much?

What I had in the car!

You would have preferred a bullet?

Elizabeth,

there's a pub by the dock.

Telephone an ambulance.

I was trying to help you!

Elizabeth, please!

You have no idea what he did to me.

WOMAN: Margaret didn't live for men,

one step behind her man,

sacrificing everything for her children.

She lived entirely for herself.

And it was this that made her burn in our lives.

It wasn't her wicked sense of humor

or some of the scandals

that she was always rather too close to,

but a woman who knows, as Margaret knew, how to live.

May break hearts, may break rules...

I'm sorry, Jeanie.

What you did for Margaret.

Caring for her like that...

I've been such a bloody fool, Jeanie.

Jeanie?

Come on, you.

Come on, Lily.

Dearest, I'm home.

(sighs)

(sobbing)

Joe?

I heard from the Cunard office that you were missing.

I got into a scrape, that's all.

Had to make myself scarce, you know.

Angela, you don't wear our ring?

Nurses aren't allowed to be married.

I have missed you so much.

(birds chirping)

Ron?

Ron?

He's not here, Beatie.

No.

Here.

This should help you feel more human.

Otto, I'm pregnant.

I think.

He forced me.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because I thought you would kill him.

So what should we do?

Tonight?

No, I meant...

I know what you meant.

No.

Please, Otto.

No one need know.

Elizabeth...

Stay with me, Otto, please.

And tomorrow, we can go and fetch Thomas.

I'm sure Mrs. J could do with a rest.

Then we could have a little break down by the sea.

Mrs. J tells me the crabs down there

are really quite something.

Crab sandwiches in a pub by the beach.

I think the weather is set to be lovely.

We can go on, Otto.

I need you.
