0:00:36 > 0:00:39'Does it inhabit the heart?
0:00:39 > 0:00:41'The brain?
0:00:41 > 0:00:43'Where in the body does it hide?
0:00:44 > 0:00:49'How is it clothed... and how might we protect it?

0:00:57 > 0:01:00'..too vulnerable for scrutiny...

0:01:03 > 0:01:06You've stopped fighting the treatment.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08I'm too tired.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26Sister...
0:01:30 > 0:01:33I thought we agreed we weren't going to do this again?
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Come on, let's get you home.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57LETTERBOX OPENS AND CLOSES
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Warqad?
0:02:27 > 0:02:28English.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- Post.- Good.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Post?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Let me stay, please.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46I don't have to go back, I can stay in England with you.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Time to go home to Somaliland, for the baby.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Ooh!
0:03:07 > 0:03:09The baby?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I get help.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13Ooh!
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Thank you.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Dad, I don't like the look of this row between the Russians
0:03:20 > 0:03:22and the Americans.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23Neither do I, son.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Bacon and eggs coming up.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Nothing in front of your mother.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29She doesn't need anything else to worry about.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Ah, thank you! Ooh, it looks delicious.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Be even better with some tomato ketchup.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36I'm afraid it's been packed.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38We don't move for ten days!
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Yes, and there's so much to do!
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I've looked out a box for each of you.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Go through your possessions and root out anything that you no longer use.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50I've already filled a box with items belonging to myself and Angela.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Why do Dad and I have one large box each,
0:03:53 > 0:03:55while you and Angela have one small box between you?
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Because Angela and I don't have a tendency towards hoarding.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Hello, Fred. Found her, then?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10No prizes for guessing where.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Is she all right?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13A bit chilled.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Let's get you warmed up and inside with some tea and cake.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20I am no Marie Antoinette.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25I will not eat cake while my sister moulders in the asylum.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31I will not eat at all until I am assured she is unharmed.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Whatever the pain was, it wasn't contractions.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Practice ones maybe.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47And you've had nothing since?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Nothing. I am well again,
0:04:50 > 0:04:53but perhaps not well enough to go on a boat.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Who said anything about a boat?
0:04:55 > 0:04:59My wife leaves in two weeks, so the baby can be born in Somaliland.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01A fast boat, is it?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04I know you think you're only seven months along, Mrs Farah,
0:05:04 > 0:05:07but actually you're more like nine.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09This baby is coming any day.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12I will be at sea. I leave tomorrow.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- My wife knows no-one here. - It will be fine.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19I have good neighbours and my sister, Deka.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21And now you've got us as well.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23You come down to the clinic with me this afternoon,
0:05:23 > 0:05:26we'll do all our checks and get you booked in.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Don't worry, Mr Farah, your wife will be in good hands.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- PRESIDENT KENNEDY ON RADIO:- 'It shall be the policy of this nation
0:05:36 > 0:05:39'to regard any nuclear missile launched from Cuba
0:05:39 > 0:05:42'against any nation in the Western Hemisphere
0:05:42 > 0:05:47'as an attack by the Soviet Union on the United States,
0:05:47 > 0:05:49'requiring a full retaliatory response...'
0:05:49 > 0:05:52That's quite enough of that, thank you very much.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54You can't turn off President Kennedy!
0:05:54 > 0:05:56He's got the future of the Free World in his hands!
0:05:56 > 0:05:59If he was truly concerned about the future of the Free World,
0:05:59 > 0:06:01he wouldn't be making such inflammatory remarks.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05If we're all heading for oblivion, we need to be prepared.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07There you are, Nurse Franklin.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09There's a gentleman on the telephone asking for you,
0:06:09 > 0:06:11a Mr Christopher Dockerill?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Thank you, but I can't possibly speak to him at the moment.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Oh, why's that?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18I'm in the middle of an inventory of the cupboards.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21With Armageddon looming, it seems wise to line-up our supplies.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23I'll tell him that you're unavailable.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42You, you've brought me back to the wrong place.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Don't worry, everyone's always a little bit fuzzy
0:06:44 > 0:06:46when they come back from shock treatment.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48I was by myself before.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Doctor's transferred you to a general ward.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53No more shock treatment - thinks you're on the mend!
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Will I be discharged now? Will I be sent home?
0:06:56 > 0:06:57One step at a time.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01First thing you need is a nap to shake off that grogginess
0:07:01 > 0:07:03and then a nice bath, hm?
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Afternoon, Mrs Turner. I'm sorry I'm late, but this is Mrs Farah.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25She's due any day, but hasn't been to the clinic yet.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26Of course.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Let's see if we can jump you up the queue, Mrs Farah.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32It can take a while to get through everything on a first appointment.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Cubicle two is free.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36No, it isn't. Puffy ankles.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- I've just asked Doctor to take a look.- Cubicle one, then.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Are we collecting for jumble?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I'm having a clear-out in advance of our house move.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I thought we could make use of these things in the waiting area.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Oh, yes?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Dr Turner is going to set about the doll with the Swarfega
0:07:51 > 0:07:53when he has a spare moment.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57But I thought my old magazines might provide light relief for our ladies.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59They have some very useful fashion features.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I've never needed an editorial to instruct me on
0:08:01 > 0:08:05how to put myself together, and I've never had any complaints.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I've come across a few sailors from Somaliland,
0:08:10 > 0:08:11but not many of their wives.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Most prefer to stay in Africa,
0:08:13 > 0:08:16but my husband is more handsome than theirs.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Sorry to interrupt, I've bought Mrs Farah's notes card.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Lovely, thanks.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Now, Mrs Farah, I'll just have a little check down below.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27I'll be very gentle,
0:08:27 > 0:08:30but it will be easier if you can try to relax.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Easy for her to say.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Is this your first baby?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Yes, I've been married a year.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Can I help, Nurse Dyer?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Mrs Farah, do you mind me asking,
0:09:00 > 0:09:04have you had any...surgery down there?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Only what is usual.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08Usual?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10When I was a child.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13It was done to all of us.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Is there something wrong?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25There's nothing there but a scar from front to back.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Are you sure?
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Mrs Farah has as much visible genitalia as that doll.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33It's like she's been...sealed up.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37But how did she get pregnant? How does she urinate, menstruate...?
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Whoever stitched the scar left a small hole.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44The strangest thing about it is that she seems to think
0:09:44 > 0:09:46the "arrangement" is quite normal.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49I can't think of a medical reason for it.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52We'll need to refer her to St Cuthbert's.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53I should say so.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56After seeing her anatomy I can scarcely imagine how baby got in,
0:09:56 > 0:09:58never mind how he's going to get back out.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Thank you.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Excuse me? These aren't my clothes.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I wear a habit, a cap and a veil!
0:10:16 > 0:10:18What's the matter now?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I need my own clothes, Nurse.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23They're a sign of my commitment to seek God with my whole being!
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- They're a sign of who I am.- Come on.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34I deem it shrewd to be suspicious of men on the doorstep
0:10:34 > 0:10:37who are not the trembling husbands of expectant wives.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39I was hoping to see Nurse Franklin.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41We went out for dinner recently,
0:10:41 > 0:10:44and I was rather hoping we might repeat the experience.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48You present no credentials.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51How can I be confident your purpose is sincere?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54I met Nurse Franklin through our work at the clinic.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55I'm a dentist at St Cuthbert's.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Do you stop the teeth of your patients with mercury?
0:10:58 > 0:11:02I... I use a dental amalgam.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06It's basically a blend of silver, tin, copper and mercury.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08And it has people running mad!
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Asylums are filled with the victims of your poison!
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Good afternoon. Oh, Mr Dockerill, how very pleasant.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20- May I help you? - He has designs upon Nurse Franklin.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23I'm very glad to hear it.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- Although I'm afraid she's not at home.- Ah.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Gangway, please, Sister, let the young man step inside.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32And we'll put these flowers in water.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44I went and had a rummage in the laundry room.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45Thank you.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Oh, I loved these clothes.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51From the minute I put them on they felt like friends to me.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55And when I was ill, I was a stranger to myself.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Even though I clung to them there was no comfort there.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04I think things might be different now.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make a fuss.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11But all the time I was ill, I fell short in my commitment to God,
0:12:11 > 0:12:15so now that I'm better it's important that I do things properly.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Why does she sit there?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22She's waiting for her son to collect her.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26She doesn't remember from one day to the next that he never turns up.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Lobotomies are like that.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30They drill into the brain to get rid of the illness,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32but sometimes there's not a lot left.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34I'll pray for her.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42How was Mrs Nolan's delivery?
0:12:42 > 0:12:43No complications -
0:12:43 > 0:12:47another not-so-little boy weighing nine pounds four.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Ooh, she can certainly grow them.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Oh, you had a gentleman caller at the door.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57It was that rather fetching dentist, with a bunch of flowers, no less.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Sister Monica Joan had engaged him in a debate on
0:13:00 > 0:13:03the merits and demerits of mercury fillings.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05At least, she was debating, he just looked scared.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Oh, dear.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11I smoothed things over, and we had quite a pleasant conversation.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13In the course of which he revealed
0:13:13 > 0:13:15that you'd rebuffed him several times.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17A lady doesn't like to look too keen,
0:13:17 > 0:13:21especially when the man drives a sports car.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23There's looking too keen, Trixie,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26and there's cutting off your nose to spite your face.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Oh, Phyllis!
0:13:29 > 0:13:32I've spent a lot of time wanting to be with someone,
0:13:32 > 0:13:36now I have the opportunity I'm not sure I have the gumption.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41Failure isn't fatal, but hesitation can be.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Give yourself a chance.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47And him.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49I put the flowers in the scullery.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52A man can look such a fool, walking away with a bouquet.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Sister, please get back into bed.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08I have to say my offices at a set time every day.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Lauds is meant to be said on waking.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11And I'm meant to keep all of you in bed
0:14:11 > 0:14:14until I've been round with the teeth tray and commode.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Thanks. And say one for me.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19My Bible's gone! Someone's taken it!
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- Things do go missing if you aren't careful.- I need it.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25I need it so that I can study for my life vows.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27If it's gone, it's gone. Come on.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Nurse Franklin, you've got Mrs Dempsey and Mrs Brackman.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50- Nurse Gilbert, Mrs Davies, Mrs... - Ah, sorry to interrupt.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52I spoke to Mr Kenley at St Cuthbert's.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55He'll see Mrs Farah tomorrow at 11 o'clock.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58If you could let her know about the appointment.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01And I wondered if one of you might accompany her
0:15:01 > 0:15:03in case there are any issues.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- I can go.- Thank you.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Did Mr Kenley have any idea what happened to her?
0:15:08 > 0:15:13He thinks it might be something called pharaonic circumcision,
0:15:13 > 0:15:17which includes, amongst other things, the removal of the clitoris.
0:15:17 > 0:15:23Apparently it's a practice common in parts of Africa and the Middle East.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26So why haven't we encountered it before in our Muslim mothers?
0:15:26 > 0:15:29I've not seen it in any of our Sylheti ladies.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31I asked the same question.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Apparently, the practice predates Islam,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37and prevalence varies depending on geography.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39I'll leave you to it.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Ooh, makes me shudder just thinking about it.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48How can anyone think removing genitalia is a good idea?
0:15:48 > 0:15:51It's not so long ago that their removal was practised
0:15:51 > 0:15:56in this country. It was deployed to treat all manner of maladies,
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- primarily of the female mind.- Ugh.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Is anybody going to empty that autoclave?
0:16:08 > 0:16:10The morning's post brings good news.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15Sister Mary Cynthia has been moved to a general ward, so we may visit.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20You trick me so I will break my fast?
0:16:20 > 0:16:22See for yourself.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24It's from the Sister at Linchmere.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40So how are you doing getting ready for baby?
0:16:40 > 0:16:44I have nappies. A gift from my neighbour.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47And Looyaan says he will bring things after his voyage.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51We have a cupboard full of donated items at Nonnatus House.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53I'm sure we can find what you need in the meantime.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Then all we have to worry about is keeping that baby inside
0:16:56 > 0:16:58till Mr Kenley's had a look at you.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Oi! Out of there, thank you!
0:17:02 > 0:17:04I've washed my hands.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05Go to school!
0:17:05 > 0:17:06I'm going to be a nurse.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- SHE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE - Go!
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Your sister would make a lovely nurse.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18So this is normal?
0:17:18 > 0:17:20To go to the hospital?
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Every case is different. I'll be there with you.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27But I am more different than most?
0:17:29 > 0:17:33When it comes to childbirth, every woman is completely different.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37There really is no such thing as normal or not normal.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Does that make sense? Or has the sun gone to my head?
0:17:41 > 0:17:44There is no sun in England in October.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47There you go, then. She must be talking sense.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57Oh, I'm beginning to wonder if this Cuban crisis will ever be over.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- It does feel never-ending. - I'm home.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01Oh, I was starting to worry.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03I walked the long way back, past the new house.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05I didn't know it was just around the corner
0:18:05 > 0:18:06from where Susan Parkin lives.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08That's not a name we've heard before.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11She goes to St Lawrence's. She's in my chemistry club.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13And soon she'll be at your bus stop every morning.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- That might cause something of a "reaction."- Honestly.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21I can't even mention a name without you jumping to conclusions.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- WOMAN:- This is the ward, Sister.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Oh, you came!
0:18:36 > 0:18:39It is you.
0:18:39 > 0:18:47Lost to us no longer, but here before us, perfect and complete.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Well, I'm still in one piece.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52I wish we'd found you sooner.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I'm sorry I didn't look harder.
0:18:54 > 0:19:00And we will make amends for every week you've spent away from us,
0:19:00 > 0:19:03for every day you spent beyond the reach of love.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07She has never been beyond the reach of love.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11For all love is His, and He is everywhere.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19We're going to try to secure your discharge, but if there's anything
0:19:19 > 0:19:24we can do to improve things for you until then, you must tell us.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28There are just so many patients and so few nurses.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Go on.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37Well, it's so full of noise and chaos that somebody took my Bible,
0:19:37 > 0:19:39I didn't even see it go.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43That is a-a-an unconscionable act!
0:19:43 > 0:19:47I found silence so hard when I first joined the Order -
0:19:47 > 0:19:50I didn't think I could ever crave it.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Port!
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Starboard!
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Up periscope!
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Crow's nest!
0:20:06 > 0:20:10Crashing in on my Cubs without warning. Oh, no, you don't!
0:20:11 > 0:20:14We're setting up for a Civil Defence meeting here.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18These boys come to Cubs to learn useful things by having fun
0:20:18 > 0:20:21and that does not include you scaring the life out of them
0:20:21 > 0:20:24with posters illustrating the perils of the nuclear winter.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- Am I clear? Pack, pack, pack. BOYS:- Pack.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Right, lads, let's just wait outside.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Terry!
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Linchmere is not an appropriate environment for Sister Mary Cynthia.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44We have to secure her discharge.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Her original detention order would've expired after 28 days.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53Although reactive depression has a good prognosis in the long term,
0:20:53 > 0:20:55it's quite a journey to full recovery.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57She will still need care.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Care we can provide at Nonnatus House, surely?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Would you like me to call the hospital?
0:21:04 > 0:21:08I could talk to her psychiatrist in my capacity as her GP.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13I'll come to you if I may, if I need your help,
0:21:13 > 0:21:15but I'd like to do as much as I possibly can myself.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21It's one way of showing her how much she is valued...
0:21:21 > 0:21:22and my way of making amends.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28And release the clutch and pull smoothly away.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30That is not the clutch.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34You said it was ABC! Accelerator, brake, clutch!
0:21:34 > 0:21:37It is, but in reverse order.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Why does everything about driving have to be so complicated?!
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Right, let's keep it simple.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44Emergency stops.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47You're going to drive along and when you're least expecting it,
0:21:47 > 0:21:48I will shout "Stop,"
0:21:48 > 0:21:51and you will bring the car to a safe but speedy halt.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55- Oh, dear!- Right.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Find anything suitable?
0:21:57 > 0:22:00There's enough in here to keep baby Farah in matinee jackets
0:22:00 > 0:22:01till he starts school.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- I won't ask.- Best not.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13I'm surprised she didn't pull up a chair beside you.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Actually, I feel much more confident
0:22:15 > 0:22:18when she isn't scrutinising my every move.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- I'm sailing along here.- Stop!- Ah!
0:22:23 > 0:22:27THEY LAUGH
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Scar tissue simply doesn't stretch.
0:22:33 > 0:22:38Aside from the need to widen the exit by cutting,
0:22:38 > 0:22:40we'll need to protect the pelvic floor from damage.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45Out of interest, Mrs Farah, did you suffer from urinary infections
0:22:45 > 0:22:47or leakage of stale urine?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53I'll speak to a colleague and get a second opinion,
0:22:53 > 0:22:55but we're looking at a hospital delivery
0:22:55 > 0:22:57with an elective episiotomy.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Mrs Farah needs to present at hospital the minute labour starts.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04- I'll see she understands. - Thank you. Goodbye, Mrs Farah.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09Well done.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14I could murder a hot sweet tea and a biscuit.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Why don't you take a minute to yourself
0:23:16 > 0:23:17and I'll see what I can arrange.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04She will find contentment here.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Here you are. You'll feel better after this...
0:24:30 > 0:24:32They never come.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40We have a visitor. Come to take one of our ladies away.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45This way, Sister.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49That's my Bible, Mrs Archibald.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55I want you to have it.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Let it comfort you.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Hello!
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Mrs Farah? You there?
0:25:17 > 0:25:20KNOCKING ON DOOR Mrs Farah?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00In a few days' time, when you feel able,
0:26:00 > 0:26:04you may wish to join us in our devotion, or at mealtimes.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09But for now you must rest and replenish your spirit.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12It's replenished already simply by being here.
0:26:14 > 0:26:19Oh, these have seen better days.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22I'll get you fresh things.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50Everything all right, Deka?
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Nadifa sent me out so she can have some peace.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Well, I could use you.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57We've got some things for baby at Nonnatus,
0:26:57 > 0:26:58if you want to come and fetch them.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Then can I see inside your bag?
0:27:00 > 0:27:02God loves a trier. Come on.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08But that's a special soap.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Are you sure?
0:27:10 > 0:27:13I think Sister Mary Cynthia would be perfectly satisfied
0:27:13 > 0:27:14with something simpler.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16I want her to have it.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19I imagine she had nothing but carbolic in Linchmere.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22I'm sorry not to let you give it to her yourself.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26I'm afraid she needs complete rest. May I give her your regards?
0:27:26 > 0:27:30Of course you may, but I'd rather you gave her my love.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39These are frightening times.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Why do we need to paint our windows?
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Well, the idea of the white paint is
0:27:49 > 0:27:52it deflects the heat from the initial blast.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55And obviously, you need to paint them on the outside.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58President Kennedy will fix things before it comes to that.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02- He could charm the birds out of the trees.- Hm.
0:28:02 > 0:28:07Unfortunately, Khrushchev isn't a bird, he's a bear,
0:28:07 > 0:28:10and bears don't like to back down.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12You really think we need to be worried?
0:28:12 > 0:28:15There is cause for concern.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16It's not looking good.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21It's too horrible to think about, so you'll forgive me if I don't.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23I need to go and do a check on Mrs Greene.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25And don't forget, spread the word.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29You tell one woman to paint her windows,
0:28:29 > 0:28:32she tells five of her pals, and before you know it,
0:28:32 > 0:28:35every family in Poplar is prepared for a nuclear attack.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45This is my Bunsen burner, essential kit for testing urine.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47What might I be testing it for?
0:28:47 > 0:28:51- Protein?- You are a quick study.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53I heard we'd acquired a new midwife.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56We finalised the selection of items for Mrs Farah's baby.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Ah, come on, then, gather it all up. I'll walk you home.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03I hope she's not been making a nuisance of herself.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07I rather like her. She reminds me of myself at her age.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10I was desperate for every bit of medical knowledge going.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13I was particularly interested in venereal disease.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16Hm. Useful to know. All set?
0:29:29 > 0:29:32We can show your sister what we've got for baby.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- Nadifa. - SHE CRIES
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Oh, no!
0:29:37 > 0:29:42Don't push, Nadifa, you mustn't push.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Let me see.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47SHE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Something about a knife.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53Can you tell your neighbour to telephone an ambulance?
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Nadifa, I need to take a look at what's happening.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Can you open your legs for me?
0:30:00 > 0:30:03SHE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE
0:30:05 > 0:30:10Nadifa, I know what's in your head feels real, but it's a memory.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Look around you - you're in London.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17You're all grown up and you've got a lovely husband
0:30:17 > 0:30:19and you're about to have a lovely baby.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23Look at me. Look at me!
0:30:23 > 0:30:25I'm going to help you.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30No knife.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37No knife.
0:30:40 > 0:30:41I spoke to your neighbour.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45She's going to look after you, so you're not on your own.
0:30:50 > 0:30:55We need to slow baby down, so pant with me. Pant. Pant. Pant.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00That's it, that's it - keep it up.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Oh, no!
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Right.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Pull over right away.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16You're doing so well, but I'm going to level with you, Nadifa.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19All the panting in the world isn't going to stop this baby coming.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Don't push with this contraction.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25SHE SCREAMS
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Keep panting.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Take a breather for a second before the next one.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37On the next contraction, when I give you the nod,
0:31:37 > 0:31:42I want you to push and I'm going to help baby out, but not with a knife.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44- Yes?- Yes.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46There's no way for baby to get out,
0:31:46 > 0:31:49so I'm going to make an opening with my special scissors.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Stay with me, Nadifa.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Contraction coming?
0:31:56 > 0:31:58OK. So give me some of that panting.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08And a little push.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10SHE SCREAMS
0:32:11 > 0:32:13That's the worst over, Nadifa.
0:32:15 > 0:32:16And another push.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Head's born.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Nearly there.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27BABY CRIES
0:32:38 > 0:32:39One baby!
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Meet your little girl.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Let's go.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16I longed for this baby, Patrick.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Longed for it, prayed for it.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25And now I'm wondering why my prayers were answered
0:33:25 > 0:33:29because I don't know what sort of a world we're bringing it into.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33And what about Timothy and Angela?
0:33:34 > 0:33:40You know, President Kennedy has a son and a daughter, just like us.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46And for all we know, his wife could be pregnant too.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49We just have to hope that he thinks like a father,
0:33:49 > 0:33:51as well as a politician.
0:33:54 > 0:33:55We just have to hope.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00And we're good at that, Shelagh.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Mrs Farah. Our circumcised lady. Planned episiotomy,
0:34:10 > 0:34:14but the baby was coming so I had to do it myself in the ambulance.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17- She has still torn quite badly. - Thank you.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Valerie, are you all right? What's happened?
0:34:22 > 0:34:24She was in labour, on her own, for hours.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Was the delivery very bad?
0:34:26 > 0:34:28The baby was tearing its way out.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Come on. Let's get you cleaned up.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40KNOCK ON DOOR
0:34:43 > 0:34:47I think perhaps it's time to close those books for the evening.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50I have to keep going over things.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52As soon as I think I've understood one element of doctrine,
0:34:52 > 0:34:55I-I read a conflicting account and I'm lost again.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Well, there is such a thing as being too widely read,
0:34:58 > 0:34:59particularly when it comes to some of
0:34:59 > 0:35:01the more arcane areas of theology.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03No! I have more to do.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05And you can do it tomorrow when you're rested.
0:35:08 > 0:35:13Remember, taking your vows isn't about what's in those books,
0:35:13 > 0:35:15it's about what's in your heart.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17Your love for God and his for you.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21Without that, none of your studies mean anything at all.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24If God loves me, and He wants me to do this,
0:35:24 > 0:35:26why is He making it so hard?
0:35:26 > 0:35:29You must sleep.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Sleep.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34And in the morning things will seem much clearer.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42# Have I not remembered thee in my bed
0:35:44 > 0:35:48# And thought upon thee when I was waking?
0:35:49 > 0:35:53# Because thou hast been my helper
0:35:53 > 0:35:59# Therefore under the shadow of thy wings... #
0:36:07 > 0:36:10I see someone's recovered from her ordeal.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Faduma has.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14It might take me a bit longer.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18Yes. Give it time.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19Thank you.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21There's no need to thank me.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24I, I was just doing what I was trained to do.
0:36:24 > 0:36:29When I was cut before, they tied my legs together until I healed.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34I was only a child.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Perhaps I was too old when it happened.
0:36:36 > 0:36:41My older sister was very young when it happened to her.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43She remembers nothing.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47I think perhaps it's better that way.
0:36:47 > 0:36:53This is different, Nadifa. Mr Kenley didn't cut you, he repaired you.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57- And nobody here's going to tie your legs together.- Repaired me?
0:36:57 > 0:37:01You were badly torn during your delivery, Nadifa.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03But what has he done?
0:37:03 > 0:37:05How has he stitched me?
0:37:05 > 0:37:07- I don't know...- He is a man!
0:37:08 > 0:37:11How would he know how I should be sewn?
0:37:11 > 0:37:14I'll talk to someone. I'll see what I can find out.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40Your breakfast tray lies neglected in your room.
0:37:41 > 0:37:46The rats may thank you for the gesture, but your health will not.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52I try so hard.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57It's as though there's a thick mist in my brain. I can't study.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01I can't even pray.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08It's like shouting in whispers, I'm not sure God can hear me,
0:38:08 > 0:38:10and I'm sure I can't hear him.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12That is static interference.
0:38:12 > 0:38:13It will quiet soon.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17No, it's been like this for months,
0:38:17 > 0:38:22ever since I became ill. I just made excuses in the hospital.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26I couldn't pray because I didn't have my Bible, or a chapel,
0:38:26 > 0:38:31or silence. And here, I have all these things.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35And there's nothing.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42It is no bad thing to be lost in a fog, all at sea.
0:38:44 > 0:38:49When land comes into view again, you will appreciate it with a keenness
0:38:49 > 0:38:54that is denied to those who know nothing but the safety of the shore.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04It's her body, Delia. It's what she knew.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Probably what her husband wanted.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09And what about what she wants?
0:39:09 > 0:39:11All I can say is,
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Mr Kenley said he couldn't make good a procedure
0:39:14 > 0:39:16that never should've been done in the first place.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18And no-one's even told her?
0:39:20 > 0:39:21Not yet.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Nurse Busby!
0:39:37 > 0:39:39I'm just on my way to a Civil Defence meeting.
0:39:39 > 0:39:40What's the latest?
0:39:40 > 0:39:42It's hard to tell with no volume,
0:39:42 > 0:39:45but the jist seems to be that if the USSR doesn't accept Kennedy's deal,
0:39:45 > 0:39:49then we're all going to hell in a hand cart!
0:39:49 > 0:39:52I really don't think this is the time for levity, Barbara.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56Sorry. Came out wrong. I think I'm just trying to be brave.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01There's nothing wrong with that in the middle of all this.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Where are you going, Trixie?
0:40:06 > 0:40:07To make a phone call.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26May I suggest we spend the evening in the chapel,
0:40:26 > 0:40:30praying for a peaceful resolution to this conflict.

0:40:43 > 0:40:46May I speak to Christopher Dockerill?
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Hello. It's Trixie.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53I hope you don't think I'm being forward,
0:40:53 > 0:40:56but I find myself unexpectedly free this evening.

0:41:55 > 0:41:59Terrible to think this could all be blown away tomorrow.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03You'd think the world would've learned by now.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06We've had two wars already this century.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08More than that.
0:42:08 > 0:42:13I fought in Korea, thanks to National Service.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16My father never recovered from the things he saw in battle.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19He suffered terrible shellshock all of his life.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Warfare's bad enough when you're in the middle of it.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25To have to keep replaying it in your mind...
0:42:25 > 0:42:29- Sorry. I'm sounding morbid. - I don't mind.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32No, if the world's about to be blown to smithereens,
0:42:32 > 0:42:34you deserve to be shown a good time.

0:42:37 > 0:42:40Dine. Dance. Make merry.
0:42:41 > 0:42:46I'd think I'd quite like to sit here with you...
0:42:46 > 0:42:51doing not much at all and just see what happens.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59What if this happens?
0:43:28 > 0:43:31Did the electric shock treatment help at all?
0:43:32 > 0:43:35It was...cleansing.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39Things were clearer for a while.
0:43:40 > 0:43:44I thought I'd carry on getting better here, and I'm not.
0:43:44 > 0:43:47- Failed at Linchmere. Failed here. - You haven't failed.
0:43:49 > 0:43:53You, you're succeeding just by putting one foot
0:43:53 > 0:43:56in front of the other,
0:43:56 > 0:44:01carrying on along this scary, rocky, lonely road.
0:44:01 > 0:44:05- It is lonely, Doctor. It's so, so lonely.- I know.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10I was once as lonely as you are now.
0:44:14 > 0:44:18It was after the war... and because of it.
0:44:21 > 0:44:24But I was sent somewhere where people walked beside me.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29And things got better after that.
0:44:29 > 0:44:31Just at this moment, I can't imagine that.
0:44:33 > 0:44:34But I want it so much.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38And how can I want something I can't imagine?
0:44:38 > 0:44:40It doesn't make sense!
0:44:40 > 0:44:42There's just no room in my head for it.
0:44:42 > 0:44:44Let me see what I can do.
0:45:09 > 0:45:11I wanted to come to your room.
0:45:11 > 0:45:13I wanted to talk to you.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15I wanted to know that you were all right,
0:45:15 > 0:45:19but I couldn't because of the way things are.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22I don't really know how anything is at the moment, Trixie.
0:45:23 > 0:45:25Then I'm just going to say one thing
0:45:25 > 0:45:29and you can dismiss it as platitude if you prefer,
0:45:29 > 0:45:33but I generally find that if you can summon the courage to sit through
0:45:33 > 0:45:37the bleakest day, then in the end, the weather will change.
0:45:37 > 0:45:39You just have to hope that when the sun comes out you aren't
0:45:39 > 0:45:44wearing wellington boots and a sou'wester, because...
0:45:44 > 0:45:47there's nothing worse than being wrongly dressed for an occasion.
0:45:51 > 0:45:56Thank you for the soap and the message you sent with it.
0:46:10 > 0:46:12Well done.
0:46:12 > 0:46:13You're healing beautifully.
0:46:13 > 0:46:15I will never be mended.
0:46:15 > 0:46:17What do you mean?
0:46:19 > 0:46:22Deka, take the baby to the next room.
0:46:28 > 0:46:31The surgeon - he left me all wrong.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34I must be stitched so my husband is happy.
0:46:37 > 0:46:39But the damage you have -
0:46:39 > 0:46:42it wouldn't have happened if you hadn't been circumcised.
0:46:42 > 0:46:45That was the problem, not what Mr Kenley did, nor me.
0:46:46 > 0:46:50There's lots of things we can do to help you feel better.
0:46:50 > 0:46:53In time, it will become normal.
0:46:55 > 0:46:58There is no normal. Not any more.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06Mr Spencer's van is looking very full!
0:47:06 > 0:47:09Oh, not another box! Where did that come from?
0:47:09 > 0:47:11The cupboard in the eaves.
0:47:12 > 0:47:15Angela's baby things.
0:47:15 > 0:47:18Her bath. Her cot.
0:47:18 > 0:47:19I asked you to get rid of all this
0:47:19 > 0:47:22when we thought our family was complete.
0:47:23 > 0:47:25Maybe I never gave up hope.
0:47:25 > 0:47:28Just as I haven't that the Russians will back down.
0:47:31 > 0:47:34I've checked every other room. They're all empty.
0:47:34 > 0:47:37- We're not leaving anything behind. - Thank you, Timothy.
0:47:37 > 0:47:40I'll tell Mr Spencer there's one more box.
0:47:47 > 0:47:50- Lots of memories.- Yes.
0:47:51 > 0:47:54They don't belong to the house.
0:47:54 > 0:47:55They're ours.
0:47:55 > 0:47:57They come with us.
0:48:14 > 0:48:17There's something about hovering on the brink of a nuclear war
0:48:17 > 0:48:18that rather blunts the appetite.
0:48:18 > 0:48:20Honestly, I'd tuck in.
0:48:20 > 0:48:23If Khrushchev gets his way, the only vegetables we'll see
0:48:23 > 0:48:25for a long time will be out of a tin.
0:48:25 > 0:48:28- Mrs Whitten.- Breech? - No. Baby turned.
0:48:28 > 0:48:31So you never told us about your date!
0:48:31 > 0:48:33A lady never tells.
0:48:33 > 0:48:35But since you ask.
0:48:35 > 0:48:37I thought if we're all going to die anyway,
0:48:37 > 0:48:39I might as well let him kiss me.
0:48:41 > 0:48:42Evening, all.
0:48:42 > 0:48:44Mr Buckle.
0:48:44 > 0:48:46- Is there news from Cuba? - The best news.
0:48:46 > 0:48:49The Russians have agreed America's terms.
0:48:49 > 0:48:51Kennedy has stood down his weapons.
0:48:51 > 0:48:54- It's over?- Yes. Yes, it is.
0:48:57 > 0:48:59We live to see another day.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01Is it on the radio?
0:49:01 > 0:49:03I want to hear this for myself.
0:49:03 > 0:49:05What a relief! I'm so very happy.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08Still glad you let your dentist kiss you?
0:49:08 > 0:49:09Win-win, I say.
0:49:09 > 0:49:11We did not pray in vain.
0:49:11 > 0:49:14You certainly did not.
0:49:14 > 0:49:18And now we're off a war footing, we can resume your driving lessons.
0:49:25 > 0:49:28Did you speak to someone? What's the hold up?
0:49:28 > 0:49:31Mr Spencer misread the address you wrote down for him.
0:49:31 > 0:49:35The van and all our worldly possessions have gone to Kent!
0:49:35 > 0:49:38And they say it's doctors who have poor handwriting.
0:49:38 > 0:49:42Patrick, I feel like an absolute fool.
0:49:42 > 0:49:43Then we're a fine pair.
0:49:43 > 0:49:45While I was at the phone box,
0:49:45 > 0:49:49I also rang the Electricity Board to ask why we've not been connected.
0:49:49 > 0:49:53It transpires I gave them the wrong connection date.
0:49:53 > 0:49:56We have no electricity until tomorrow afternoon.
0:50:05 > 0:50:08Dr Turner has recommended a hospital near Birmingham.
0:50:08 > 0:50:11It's called Northfield.
0:50:11 > 0:50:15It's a very gentle, therapeutic community.
0:50:15 > 0:50:17Not at all like Linchmere.
0:50:17 > 0:50:20- Is that where he went? - Many years ago, yes.
0:50:22 > 0:50:25- Can I ask you for one more kindness? - Anything.
0:50:25 > 0:50:27Could you contact the Mother House
0:50:27 > 0:50:30and ask them to send me my postulant's dress?
0:50:30 > 0:50:34- Your postulant's dress? - I left Nonnatus House in it before.
0:50:35 > 0:50:37I want to leave in it again
0:50:37 > 0:50:44because once, then, I knew who I was, where I was going,
0:50:44 > 0:50:47what there was at the end of the road.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49And now I don't know any of those things.
0:50:52 > 0:50:55I want to go right back to the beginning...
0:50:56 > 0:51:01..to where I was when everything was clean, nothing was impossible.
0:51:04 > 0:51:07And that means wearing my postulant's dress.
0:51:07 > 0:51:08I think that's very sensible.
0:51:18 > 0:51:20Goodness.
0:51:20 > 0:51:24A Melton Mowbray pork pie and a vanilla slice.
0:51:24 > 0:51:26You certainly do know how to treat a girl.
0:51:26 > 0:51:29Yes, I decided to push the boat out.
0:51:29 > 0:51:33But I do have something that might be a little more to your taste.
0:51:34 > 0:51:38I thought we should have something special to toast the new peace.
0:51:38 > 0:51:40Gosh!
0:51:40 > 0:51:41Something wrong?
0:51:42 > 0:51:44Not at all.
0:51:44 > 0:51:47Only I'm on call tonight and we're not allowed to imbibe.
0:51:47 > 0:51:50- Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't think. - Don't worry.
0:51:50 > 0:51:55I'll simply hold it up in an elegant way and pretend. Like so.
0:51:55 > 0:51:57Well, you really do look rather wonderful.
0:51:59 > 0:52:00Chin-chin!
0:52:06 > 0:52:09It was very good of Nurse Crane to lend us the Cubs' sleeping bags.
0:52:09 > 0:52:11I keep finding things in mine.
0:52:11 > 0:52:14- I think there's a woggle at the bottom.- Lucky you.
0:52:14 > 0:52:17The only thing in mine is the faint aroma of wee.
0:52:17 > 0:52:20It reminds me of when we went camping. Best holiday ever.
0:52:20 > 0:52:24Oh, don't. Keep our voices down or we'll wake Angela.
0:52:24 > 0:52:28We're very lucky though, aren't we?
0:52:28 > 0:52:30Yes. Yes, we are.
0:52:38 > 0:52:40Ready?
0:53:51 > 0:53:55- Baby's doing extremely well. - And so is Mum.
0:53:56 > 0:53:59This was donated to the toy box at the clinic,
0:53:59 > 0:54:01but I thought Deka might make use of it,
0:54:01 > 0:54:04given her interest in all things medical.
0:54:04 > 0:54:07Deka is not here. She's leaving on the boat with a chaperone.
0:54:07 > 0:54:09She's going back to Somaliland?
0:54:09 > 0:54:12Deka didn't say anything about leaving.
0:54:12 > 0:54:15She didn't know. None of us did. My mother decided it.
0:54:15 > 0:54:18There was a ticket. And... And it was time.
0:54:21 > 0:54:22She's gone to be cut.
0:54:27 > 0:54:29How could you?
0:54:30 > 0:54:31How could you let her go
0:54:31 > 0:54:33when you could've died from what they did to you?!
0:54:33 > 0:54:36You're going to live with the damage for the rest of your life.
0:54:36 > 0:54:38Do you really want the same for Deka?
0:54:38 > 0:54:44Do you really want some man to pin her down and cut and sew her closed?
0:54:44 > 0:54:47Is that what you want, Mrs Farah?
0:54:47 > 0:54:51My name is not Mrs Farah.
0:54:51 > 0:54:54In my country, a woman does not take her husband's name -
0:54:54 > 0:54:58she is her own person called after her own family line.
0:54:59 > 0:55:03My name is Nadifa Ghedi Jama.
0:55:03 > 0:55:06And no man would dare cut me or my sisters -
0:55:06 > 0:55:10the person who holds a knife is a woman!
0:55:10 > 0:55:14The person who calls Deka back to be cut is a woman!
0:55:14 > 0:55:18Her own mother who loves her, who wants her to be respected,
0:55:18 > 0:55:21to be clean, and to find a good husband.
0:55:21 > 0:55:22And to be those things...
0:55:25 > 0:55:28..she must be cut.
0:55:29 > 0:55:32She will not be scared. She is braver than me.
0:55:47 > 0:55:51'Deka was escorted back to her homeland
0:55:51 > 0:55:54'where her family were waiting and she was cut,
0:55:54 > 0:55:57'like generations of women before her.'
0:56:01 > 0:56:04- DEKA:- See you after my holiday!
0:56:09 > 0:56:11Dr Turner!
0:56:11 > 0:56:13I hoped we'd see you.
0:56:13 > 0:56:17I'm Nurse Barrington, but everyone calls me Barry.
0:56:17 > 0:56:20What would you like to be called while you're with us?
0:56:20 > 0:56:24If you don't mind, and if I'm allowed to choose...
0:56:25 > 0:56:30..I'd just like to be called by my name, which is Cynthia.
0:56:35 > 0:56:41'There are so many secret wounds, so many types of hidden scar.
0:56:43 > 0:56:46'Nadifa, in time, decided that her own little girl
0:56:46 > 0:56:49'would not be circumcised.
0:56:49 > 0:56:52'It was a bold step and it took courage...
0:56:52 > 0:56:53'like every new journey.
0:56:56 > 0:57:03'The soul, being stronger than we think, can survive all mutilations
0:57:03 > 0:57:08'and the marks upon it make it perfect and complete.'
0:57:14 > 0:57:16They can give her artificial legs, already?
0:57:16 > 0:57:18Roehampton's working with a number of Thalidomide children.
0:57:18 > 0:57:20Just tell them, "Yes."
0:57:20 > 0:57:22This isn't funny, Valerie!
0:57:22 > 0:57:24Christopher's obviously involved with someone else!
0:57:24 > 0:57:25And I don't want 'em taking her anywhere
0:57:25 > 0:57:28where they think she's a freak that needs fixing!
0:57:28 > 0:57:30If we don't let them try and mend her,
0:57:30 > 0:57:32then her life's over before it's begun!
0:57:32 > 0:57:34Nurse Crane should stand down from duties
0:57:34 > 0:57:36until the situation is resolved.
0:57:36 > 0:57:38If you caused harm to someone else...
0:57:38 > 0:57:40would it not make you question everything
0:57:40 > 0:57:42your life has come to stand for?
