All language subtitles for Call The Midwife.S3e07.eng

We've got to go, George.
The Darwin won't unload itself.

Just 10 more minutes.

I promised I'd wait
as long as I could.

It was time to return to
the place that I called home.

Grief had kept me
absent for too long.

And if my healing
was not complete,

I could picture a day
when it might be so.

Now I needed to be
with the friends I loved

and return to the
work that defined me.

George!

Midwifery is about separation,

physically dividing into two that
which has been one for nine months.

There is beauty and
relief in the cleaving.

There is labour
but there is reward.

That's it.

I had survived a wound,

a loss that ripped my
heart and made it bleed.

Come.

Hello, stranger!

You're quite the act
to follow, Jenny Lee.

Restored to Nonnatus House,

I was safe in harbour.

We're very close now.

Breathe gently, Pamela.

That's the stuff.

Nurse Miller.

- Oh!
- Gently.

Don't push!

It's a caulbearer.

Born in the amniotic sac.

A mermaid's purse full of luck,
according to the old wives' tale.

I've only heard about them.

A perfect little girl.

In olden times, they dried
the caul and sold it to a sailor

to keep him safe.

It's a great prize.

I want to keep it for my George.

He's out all hours on
the river as a lighter man.

Every one of
them's an age to me.

On the chest of drawers, Nurse.

Green for a girl.

Light it for me, would you? Hang
it in the window for my George.

He said he'd wait
as long as he could.

Nurse Miller and I will
take it in turns to visit.

You'll be well
looked after, Pamela.

A girl. Yes!

Yes!

Mater.

Oh, Camilla.

I see that grace does not
grow exponentially with age.

Jenny, you must have
your old room back.

Honestly, I'm more than
happy in the box room.

I've rather got used
to having my own.

Chichester's changed you.

Though I shan't
miss the snoring.

You'll be able to
get to the mirror.

What a treat!

Do you really have
to head off so soon?

I don't like the thought of
you surrounded by strangers.

Yes. You're sure you're ready
for secondment to the London?

You'll have to hit
the ground running.

I just can't quite pick
up where I left off.

This way, no one will ask me how I
am and no one will feel sorry for me.

Hurry up, then. It's
the London, not Butlins.

You're to collect your
uniform when you arrive.

Oh, and, uh, Nurse
Lee, you've been missed.

Greatly.

Good. Just relax.

Nurse Lee?

Very pleased to
have you with us.

It's, uh, rather different
to district midwifery.

Out there we can't
look after them,

can't stop their glorious leaders
asking for dinner on the table

or their smalls to be washed.

But here they can rest.

We have two women in early
labour admitted overnight.

You'll find their
notes on my desk.

Your priority is to ensure

that they move swiftly to the
labour ward as they progress.

Please excuse me.

Mrs Halford?

We wondered whether you might care
to supper with us? Tomorrow, perhaps?

An evening of jellied eels?

I think not.

I suppose your week is full
of frightfully exciting plans?

I'm here for rather longer.

Permanently, in fact.

Madeira's never
really suited me.

But Pater adores it.

That's why he's staying there.

We're going our separate ways.

But why?

I'm tired of living alone.

Your father has
many... interests.

I'm not one of them.

For you, madam.

Oh, Lord, Mater, your watch.
It must have come loose.

- Oh, heavens. We'll find it.
- Oh, sit down, Camilla.

It's not lost.

I have no need of
a diamond watch,

far greater need of its value.

Mater, you can't
mean... You've sold it?

You were not brought up to pry.

Please, come to
supper with us tomorrow.

Whatever's going on,
surely we might help.

We're your family.

And it would give you a
chance to finally meet Freddie.

I really can't get
used to that name.

After the handyman, you said?

It's for her caul,
when it's ready.

So you can have a bit of us
with you, wherever you are.

A mermaid birth.

Mum always said you
could have too much luck.

Spoils you.

Well, I want to be spoilt.

I want five more babies.

And I want dogs and
cats and a budgie.

I want our family bursting
at the seams, George.

All right.

All right, then, if you say so.

And I'll keep you
safe as long as I live.

Well, I mean, you better.

I married you for them strong
arms, not your personality.

Morning, Mrs Saint.

Uh, my milk won't come.

Nothing to worry about.

It always takes a little while.

And you know how to top up.
She'll do perfectly well with water.

It's just at the Mothercraft,

they said it's the way
we'll form our bond,

it's how she'll know me.

And, well, if it won't
come, she can't.

That's not quite what we meant.

And we certainly wouldn't
expect your milk to be in yet.

I don't want her
having the water.

I read about what the
Metropolitan Water Board do

and they say that we drink the same
glass of water at least three times,

it passes straight through us.

Please calm down.

You don't even know
your mother will come.

But if she comes,

do you really think anything less
than spit spot will pass muster?

And I have to
telephone my father.

Which is akin to
summoning Churchill.

You'll feel more comfortable
when you've spoken to him.

In the meantime, we don't need to
turn the entire house upside down.

Auntie Mary gave us that!

Oh, and he's perfectly charming

but now he needs a
little nap in the cupboard.

You're embarrassed by our home.

I just want her to like
something about me.

Even if it's simply my curtains.

I wish you didn't care, Camilla.

I wish you saw yourself as I do.

Patrick, I feel like
I'm pestering you,

but I do need the
details of your referee.

Oh, terrible game,
we lost two-nil.

I wouldn't recommend him.

I'm sure the Church of England
Children's Society will be thrilled

how seriously you're
taking the adoption process.

I'm handing the forms in today.

Frank Higginson.

We served in Italy together. He's
in my book. Second drawer down.

- Sorry, Nurse.
- It's quite all right.

- I really am sorry.
- Accidents happen.

It's all good training
for having a family.

For people with families or
who are indeed planning for them.

Or nurses with scrupulous attention
to the cleanliness of their floors.

I was going for the
more abstract route.

I'm after some orange
juice. I've a Bible class.

It's a good carrot.

A reward for making
it through Corinthians.

- I wondered if you...
- I'm sure we can spare some.

The class. It's this evening.

- I'm not really one for Bibles.
- I meant after.

Dinner? A walk?

Or the dance?

- Well, I hadn't really considered...
- I usually go at 7:00.

All ready for Mrs Rawle?

I see from her notes she delivered
stillborn on her first pregnancy.

That's why she's in
early, for observation.

Do we know whether Mrs Halford
delivered safely this morning?

- I haven't heard.
- Why would you?

If we began to
cross-pollinate with postnatal,

we'd very quickly
be in a pickle.

I still marvel at all
this, free of charge.

I lost my mother 30 years ago.

She died in childbirth
with my brother.

My father couldn't
afford a doctor.

Now look at us.

Come along in. Mrs
Rawle, we don't bite.

She's had lunch. Uh,
touch dizzy this morning.

She tossed and
turned a bit last night.

I think we'll manage.

You'll be well
looked after, love.

You'd hope so.

We pay enough to the
National Insurance Scheme.

Thank you.

I'm Nurse Lee.

Let's get you settled.

Not wishing to be rude, but I'd
be much happier with a doctor.

I'm afraid you'll have
to make do with me.

I'll organise a bath for you,
pop your things in the locker.

We'll store your case and coat.

It's new.

My case.

Do be careful with it.

I don't want it in a heap.

We're careful with
everything, Mrs Rawle.

Mrs Saint!

What on earth's going on?

Oh, well, there's all this dust.

I don't want my
Rose taking it in.

I need to get them
curtains down.

There was a fog last
night, brings the spores in.

Mrs Saint, you need to rest.

Oh, no, I need a clean house for my
baby so I can relax, so my milk will come.

Mrs Saint, it's normal for it to come
when baby's three or four days old.

Rest will only help.

I'm not tired and
there's so much to do.

- You just help me with the chest.
- Into bed.

What about having
your mother to stay?

I know she's in Harlow but
it wouldn't be hard to arrange

and she'd be a
great help to you.

It...

It's scaring her.

- Your headdress, the way it flaps.
- I'm sorry, little one,

but a promise to our
Lord transcends even you.

Think about having your mother.

- Your hands are shaking.
- Just a bit fiddly, that's all.

A heck of a lot
of salmon for two.

She may come.

Peter, if you'd heard Father
when I telephoned him.

So cold.

He's cut her off
without a penny.

- Well, she did up and leave.
- 'Cause she's so bally lonely.

You don't know that for sure.

She's alone and without
funds. That much I do know.

Oh, good Lord! She's come.

How's my girls?

You have to stop her, okay?
You have to stop her coming here.

'Cause she's trying to
turn Rose against me.

So you have to stop her.

Love? What's all this?
What are you on about?

Well, Lady Browne, what
do you think of our little chap?

I find infant charms
somewhat exaggerated.

So uninspiring until
they can converse.

He may yet inherit some of
my father's talent for politics.

Goodness knows the country's
in need of a decent politician.

I'll take Freddie up.

Come on, mate. Up we go.

Really, Camilla,

a man doesn't come home
to be a nursemaid to his child.

Peter adores being with Freddie.

- I spoke with Father today.
- I asked you not to pry.

I'm worried.

You cannot have the funds to
manage, certainly not at The Savoy.

But I am not at The Savoy.

I'm at a dear little
place in Bayswater.

You need not concern yourself.

Let us not poke at
wounds we cannot heal.

Mrs Rawle, what is it?

My baby's heartbeat,

it's not been
checked for a while.

Checked at 4:00 p.m.
All perfectly normal.

I want it checked again.

He's gone ever so quiet.

I'll fetch my Pinard,
have a little listen,

put our minds at rest.

Nurse Lee, we check baby's
heartbeat every four hours.

Any more is wholly unnecessary.

We are not here to indulge.

Mr Saint?

Whatever is the matter?

Don't know how to say, Nurse.

Pamela's become very upset.

Mr Saint says you insisted
her mother come to stay?

It seems their
relationship is very fragile.

I suggested it. I certainly
didn't mean to upset her.

I think the whole business of
feeding is worrying her unduly.

She seems to believe it's becoming
a barrier between her and Rose.

That's exactly what I mean.

I'll talk to her tomorrow.

Mr Saint asked that I visit.

Of course. We'll go together.

In place of you.

What a magnificent beast.

The smallest
amount, if you would.

- How is the weather in Madeira?
- Cloudy

but unburdened by smog.

I understand they have
a very particular fish there

because of the deep water.

I'm not much of an
angler, I'm afraid.

The Farquhar Thompsons.

Aren't they in town
at this time of year?

- I believe Cressida's getting married.
- Will you be going?

- Perhaps when things quieten down...
- Why don't you stay with us?

We'd very much like you
with us, wouldn't we, Peter?

It would give you a chance
to get to know Freddie.

Of course.

London's dreadfully expensive.

You could have our room,
just until you're settled.

- We shall muddle along perfectly well.
- I don't wish to muddle.

A parishioner of mine
is struggling greatly.

I'm afraid I need to sit
with him to try and help.

After the dance?

It's a little bit more
important than dancing.

It's a personal crisis.

We could reconvene.

Tomorrow?

- Dinner, perhaps?
- The dance is tonight, not tomorrow.

Goodnight, Tom.

These heels are murder, anyway.

- Idiot.
- You all right, Reverend?

You had every right to
ask about the mother.

The day we stop asking
is the day we stop caring.

Perhaps Mrs Saint feels more
comfortable with a younger midwife?

I suppose I could seem like a bit
of a relic to these young mothers.

We are that great sprawl!

That growing mass of alchemy.

Some of us are golden,
some of us are base.

But you are golden.

And although
they do not know it,

the young need you
now more than ever.

More or less the words
I was searching for.

You promise?

'Cause she brings the germs
in with her, the bad things.

She ain't coming,
don't take on so.

- Pam?
- It's the germs.

The air's full of 'em. They're
on you, they're all over you.

Well, I want to hold her.

Yeah, but I told you,
I got to keep her safe.

I told you what the Sister's
doing, she's trying to hurt her.

No, no.

This has got to stop.

You ain't making no sense, Pam.

You promise she won't come?

I told you, didn't I?

The window tends
to rattle a little

but we find a wedge of
paper seems to do the trick.

We're usually up early but
we'll try not to disturb you.

You always were a stomper.

- I must get on, Camilla.
- Likewise. Freddie to nursery,

then the babies of Poplar,

who won't delay their
entrance to the world,

not even for you, Mater.

Can one get The Times here?

Well, it's usually a day late,

taking into account the, uh, time
difference with central London.

Midwives.

Oh, why do they keep coming?

Why won't they
just leave us alone?

- Mrs Saint?
- You.

You ain't supposed to come here.

Mrs Saint, whatever
are you doing?

Well, I have to clean her. I
have to sterilise everything.

Can't trust the tap.
They put dangers in it.

You're safer with the river.

- Not with that.
- The water's far too hot.

- You'll burn her.
- Yeah, well, I have to clean her.

I'm going to put some cool
in it. I'll bring it right back.

Stay with her, Nurse
Miller. I'm calling Dr Turner.

Let's get Rose settled.

I wanted to apologise, Fred.

I must have seemed
rude last night.

From what I hear, it's not
me you need to apologise to.

Still, needs must, when
parishioners fall upon hard times.

There is no parishioner.
I have two left feet.

I can't dance.

I thought you lot
weren't supposed to lie?

Trixie can have the pick
of any man she wants.

I'm a book man.

A pint man with a... a
jumper and a weekend jacket.

I'm not a dancer.

Meet me at the community
centre, 6:00 sharp.

Pupil Midwife Wells
is with me today.

She's here to
complete her training.

You need to palpate the
abdomen to check the baby's lie,

presentation and position.

No!

I shan't be seen except
by a proper midwife.

I came in here for
the best of care.

Pupil midwives need to
learn and I'm here to supervise.

I want a trained professional.

It's the very least I expect.

Excuse us for a moment.

I know what it is to lose
something precious, Mrs Rawle.

And whether you believe it or
not, you are in the best hands.

I did everything right.

Before.

I ate right, slept right,

didn't even do no
lifting at the end.

They said I didn't call
the midwife soon enough

and that's why
she was stillborn.

Sometimes these
awful things just happen.

But what if it happens again?

I came in here to be safe.

That's why I keep asking for
checks but no one will listen.

Let's see what
baby's up to, shall we?

A kick.

Telling you to trust us.

She's fallen in with my mother.

They've been talking.

She doesn't want
me and Rose happy.

She brought the
germs in with her.

It was a special one, left over
from when we had the Plague.

Mrs Saint, who are
you talking about?

The Sister.

The one who brought
the badness in.

Sister Julienne?

Yeah, that's why I have
to get my baby clean.

I have to take her to the river,
she'll be safe there, like Mo...

Like Moses.

You have to get her
out of here, Nurse.

You have to... You have
to keep her away from here.

Please.

Who's that?

- Who have you brought here?
- It's Dr Turner.

He visits all newly
delivered mothers.

Mrs Saint, it's quite all right.

Hello, Mrs Saint.

Would you wait next
door, Nurse Miller?

There's no need to
worry. No need at all.

I've given her a sedative.

She's stable but I would like
a second opinion, urgently.

Could it be a
puerperal psychosis?

As a worst case, yes.

I thought we spoke, Nurse.

Mr Saint, this is rather
more than anxiety.

Your wife is showing
signs of paranoia.

It's rare

but it may be a hormonal
fluctuation caused by Rose's birth.

Have you noticed any change
in her behaviour, anything at all?

We must know, Mr Saint.

There's no shame in it.

She's my Pam. There's
nothing wrong with her.

I'm arranging a
psychiatric assessment.

A head doctor?

No, no, no, no, she ain't
going to no head doctor!

Then he will visit her, today.

And if she shows any
further signs of anxiety,

you must telephone us.

I'll call again later.

Thank you. Goodbye.

Dr Hatton will make a late
call to Mrs Saint tonight.

Poor woman.

We have our own appointment.

We're to be interviewed
by the adoption society.

They'll visit us at home to see
if we're fit and proper persons.

I'd hope our work
was testament to that.

I think they're rather
more concerned

with the sort of people
we are outside of work

and the home we
may offer a child.

Best behaviour, please.

- Fred?
- Cue the music!

Lights!

Fred and Ginger at your service.

♪ Maria Elena

♪ You're the answer to a prayer

♪ Maria Elena, can't you see

♪ How much I care... ♪

Right.

Left foot forward,
right foot to the side,

bring the left
foot to the right.

- Ooh!
- Sorry.

It's all in the eyes.

Connect there and it doesn't
matter what your feet do.

The waltz is all
about protection.

It's a dance that says,

"I have you in my
arms, my dear."

- Ooh.
- "All is well with the world."

It's also about trying not
to tread on the lady's toes.

- You ain't making no sense. Enough.
- Don't let him back in here, okay?

'Cause he tried to give me
something but I didn't take it.

I spat it back out.

He's a doctor, he's
trying to help you.

No, you... You need to help me!

I don't want any more
people coming in here.

- They're checking you and the baby.
- They want to take her!

Stop this.

Please. Stop it!

You'll be all right.

I'll get you some
fish and chips, eh?

You're all right.

I'm afraid they're
just early labour pains.

Not quite ready for
curtain up yet, Faye.

Don't I get my flowers back?

In the morning.

They take oxygen
from the ward at night.

They reminded me of home.

Makes me feel
more alone than ever.

You're not alone. You've got me.

Will you be with me
when my time comes?

- Please, Nurse.
- Of course I will.

Nurse Lee?

Your job is to prepare
these women for labour,

not to offer
personal guarantees.

It makes a great difference to
the patient if she feels supported.

I won't insult you by pointing
out you are governed by shifts.

- In an hour's time, yours is at an end.
- I'd be happy to work beyond...

You're not here to involve
yourself in the lives of others.

Isn't that why you've come
away from district midwifery?

Bridge, was it?

Yes. The old dears do love it.

And you accompany
it with romantic music?

I didn't come down
in the last shower.

I saw you. With Tom.

It's not what you think.

Or at least, what I
think you might think.

Don't make a fool of me.

I'm rather hurt
you think I would.

Rats! Look...

I was teaching Tom
to dance. For you.

He wanted to surprise you.

And just to add to
the heady romance,

Fred was there, utterly
irresistible to both Tom and myself.

And with the greatest
respect, Tom is not my type.

At all.

And what do you mean by that?

Well, apart from the fact that
he's clearly besotted with you,

there are certain
things he lacks

and certain things
he has too much of.

For me.

Pamela?

I'm back!

No!

- Goodnight, Sister.
- Goodnight.

Nurse Lee, help me.

I think my waters have broken.

Why on earth didn't you call me?

Lie flat for me, Faye.

I want Nurse Lee.

She said she'd be with me.

We're all here to
help you, Mrs Rawle.

She was fixated with the river.
About how the water there was safer.

Is there somewhere she goes?
Somewhere with meaning?

- There was, uh, the pier at Middle Dock.
- Right.

Tell Dr Turner where we are.
You stay here in case she returns.

Sister, the cord has prolapsed.

What does that mean?

We need to get you to
theatre. Baby's in difficulty.

Call the porters. Inform
theatre we have a cord prolapse.

Don't leave me, Nurse.
Please don't leave me.

Baby's pushing on the cord.

It's all right, Faye. We
need to relieve the pressure.

Now, I need you on your knees.

Good girl.

Knees on the bed. Good.
And onto your elbows.

- Lean on your elbows.
- I can't lose another.

- You're not going to.
- Quickly now!

Straight to theatre.

Don't leave me, Nurse.

Nurse Lee, your
shift is at an end.

Dear God. Pamela!

- Oh, my Lord!
- What are you doing up there?

My milk. It came.

- Get down from there.
- You stay away!

You just stay away from us!

Stop it, Rose.

I've got to get you clean.
I've got to get you safe.

- Pam, I'm warning you!
- No.

She's got my daughter.

We must take very great
care because of that.

I keep asking you, why
won't you just leave us?

It's the germs. Brought
them here like wolves.

You're frightening Rose.

It's not me, it's
you and it's that...

It's that thing. It
scares her. It's that.

My wimple? I'll take it off.

I don't want to scare
her. Neither do you.

You're her mother.

You're the one
that protects her.

You're trying to trick me.

- Oh, they're here to help.
- No, they...

- They want to take her.
- They want you to be safe.

- They want Rose to be safe.
- She's...

She's crying, you see.

She's crying 'cause
she doesn't trust you.

That's because she's cold.
Oh, look at her, Pamela.

She's not strong
enough to be out.

Nurse Miller and I can
help. Let us help Rose.

I can't. I have to wash her.

- It's the germs.
- Not the river.

In a warm bath.

We can do that. We
can take her home.

Would you like that?
To go home? To be safe?

For Rose to be safe?

Quickly, Nurse Miller.

Against your skin for warmth.

- Sister!
- No, Pamela! No!

You will get better.
You will get better.

It will end.

I promise.

Fetch an ambulance.

She is suffering from
puerperal psychosis.

She is being admitted
to Bow House.

What, the nuthouse?

She was happy, she...
She wanted the baby.

She still does.
She will be better.

She tried to hurt our baby.

How can a mother do that?

I'd like to show you how
to give Rose her formula.

Here. Yeah?

I wouldn't ever hurt her.

I just want her back.

You don't strike me as a dancer.

Well, that's because you haven't
been swept round the dance floor by me.

I won competitions.

Me and my old lady.

I miss it, the dancing.

Well, her most of all.

It was nice to hear
the music again.

It's very unfair to pluck
at my heartstrings.

This business about the
parishioner... He made it up.

He was too embarrassed
to tell you he can't dance.

He's mad about
you, Nurse Franklin.

He's got potential.

Hidden

but it's definitely there.

I lost it, didn't I?

You have a little boy, Faye.

Who screams his
lungs out, has 10 fingers

and 10 perfect toes.

I can't believe
they didn't tell you.

Where is he? I...
I want to see him.

You've had major surgery.
You need time to recover.

Please.

I never held my last.

I wish there was
something I could do.

It's against hospital rules.

I'm not even
supposed to be in here.

We've enough here to
feed the whole of Poplar.

Might we keep a little back?

I don't think Mr Saint knows
how to operate anything

beyond a tin
opener in the kitchen.

I could take it to him.

I'd rather it went to his wife.

She's the one that's suffering.

Nurse Franklin,
they are all suffering.

Thankfully, baby's with an aunt
and will have no memory of events.

How long for, though?

The Largactil's
cured the psychosis

but can do nothing for
her terrible depression.

We must hope the
electro-convulsive therapy restores her.

I worked in a psychiatric ward.

I've never seen a patient get
free of the black dog without it.

Timothy is a very
happy young child

who, we hope, reflects the
love our home is filled with.

Our wards have already
been abandoned once.

It is my duty to limit
their pain to once.

We would never abandon a child.

What occupied you
during the period

April 1945 to December
of that year, Dr Turner?

Your detailed service and work
history. There seems to be an omission.

I was injured.

Could you be more specific?

- I'd prefer not to.
- Patrick!

I don't see how
this is relevant.

You were discharged
from the army.

You must understand.

It was the end of the war.

I was medical corps. Trying
to save lives at the front...

You were an inpatient at Northfield
Military Psychiatric Hospital

for five months,

while you were being
treated for war neurosis.

I was worn out.

There was too much death.

I recovered. I am recovered.

We've both needed
great strength.

We believe a child
should be placed in a home

where truth and trust
are central to that home.

How could you not tell me?

I didn't think she would go
through my entire history.

She is placing a child.

She needs to know
who she is placing it with,

so do I.

What happened to you?

I can't talk about it.

If you think we can forget
this, you don't know me.

I won't live with this
between us, Patrick.

I manage!

I manage by
keeping it behind me.

How can you treat others

when you so clearly
cannot treat yourself?

Mr Saint?

Might you visit Pamela?

- What, in the nuthouse?
- It's not an asylum.

Keep your voice down, please.

You saying the people
in there ain't loonies?

The people in there are being
treated for mental illnesses

by medical doctors
and nurses, not jailors.

- It ain't no place for decent people.
- They're ill, Mr Saint.

They should be extended
the same understanding

that we have for
physical illnesses.

Your visit will
speed her recovery.

You didn't lose your daughter,
you must not lose your wife.

Hello, little one.

There's someone
you need to meet.

- Can I help you, Nurse?
- Yes.

I need a very,
very large favour.

You have to be very careful.

Gentle movements.

Is he really mine?

Every last ounce.

Gently.

Beautiful.

I understand you had
to dance with Patsy,

which, charming as she is,
took a great deal of courage.

I want to make you happy.

It'd be a crime to waste
what you've learned.

I'm off at 5:00.

It's no use.

I can stand up in a
school or a church

and give a sermon to
a hundred people but...

When it's just me, I...

I want to be able to
sweep you off your feet

- but I can't even...
- Do be quiet.

There are some things you
just have to stop thinking about

and start doing.

Sign here.

Quite why curd should
be such a challenge.

Let me.

Should you tire of nursing, Nurse
Lee, I may have want of a jar opener.

I may enjoy it.

At least I'd be able to see it
through from beginning to end.

Not tasting, of course.
I retain all tasting rights.

How did care become
so lightly valued?

In the hospital, I mean.

It seems I'd do better if I
treat my patients like strangers.

Swift machines
built for the future,

the world passes in a blur.

But we can always
walk, Nurse Lee,

should we prefer to
see what we are missing.

I have the cream.

Lady Browne.

You all right?

You look a little pale.

The air could hardly be
described as therapeutic.

What school have you
got Freddie down for?

I'm sorry?

One cannot get the
ball rolling too soon.

Oh, I see.

I think you understand
that we're not in a position

to manage a private
education for Freddie

but we have high hopes
for the grammar school.

I can almost accept
the limitations

my daughter has set
herself through this marriage

but my grandson, to be
so poorly provided for...

- I love them.
- One cannot survive on love.

- One cannot survive without it.
- Camilla.

It needs to be said.

We could scrimp and save.

We could possibly
afford the fees,

- send him away...
- Camilla, let's talk about this later.

We could have him reared
by cold and distant people

who would want him
to be cold and distant,

so he didn't cry
himself to sleep.

But despite what you
so clearly think of us,

we believe we'll give
him the best start.

Because he'll know he's loved.

I fear you were
right all along, Mater.

You're better off in a hotel.

Excuse me.

Ah, Nurse Lee.

Mrs Morecombe into delivery.

- Update her notes, please.
- Of course.

Sister?

I'm afraid I have to give
notice on my time here.

I'm sorry.

I admire what you do greatly,

but I realise

I have to be able to sit with
a patient all night if needed

or go to her at a
moment's notice.

I need to care, I can't ration
it or turn it into an efficiency.

That'll never be my way.

Goodbye, little one.

Grandma's made a bit of a
hash of things, hasn't she?

See?

You're a natural with him.

I'm a natural with horses.

Both parties know
where they stand.

Lady Browne, why don't we all sit
down, see if we can't work this out?

Nonnatus House,
midwife speaking.

Peter.

Pamela continued with
a course of treatment

as unfathomable as the
brain on which it was applied.

Like a filament powered
by the same electricity,

she began to grow
brighter, began to return.

But still, she was
separated from her child.

And it was just us,

dancing to the sound of
the river and Ella Fitzgerald.

How romantic!

Though, of course, I shall
need cotton wool for my shoes.

Protect the toes.

Don't remind me, I
still have the bruises.

Is it true? You're
back properly?

I miss the East End.

Just the East End?

Cycling over the cobbles,
very good for the legs.

The endless cups of tea,

heaving my bag around
all day, every day.

- All those little things.
- And us?

Didn't I say?

Missed you most of all.

Have you spoken
with the surgeons?

They call it an
open-and-closed case.

Investigations show
malignant tumours

in the abdomen, liver, spleen...

I could go on.

"Nothing can be done."

Such simple words.

Oh, Camilla.

To have been in such
pain and kept silent.

You're making a
wonderful job of that.

Probably shouldn't.

Feels like I'm getting ahead of myself
but I can't just sit here doing nothing.

And even if I don't get
to give it to her myself,

just knowing that she's warm...

- I'm going to leave you now, Pamela.
- No, no, no, I want you to stay.

I, um... I finished the hat.
I was going to show you.

You have other visitors.

Take her, then.

She needs you.

We both do.

Invisible wounds are
the hardest to heal,

for their closure depends
upon the love of others,

on patience, understanding

and the tender gift of time.

Begging your pardon, Sister,
but it's Sister Monica Joan.

Oh, no.

Are you the father?

- He's the cousin.
- Out.

The mother-daughter
bond is a very precious thing.

Nurse Lee has some news for us.
