I'm too tired. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
Sister... | 0:01:25 | 0:01:26 | |
I thought we agreed we weren't going to do this again? | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
Come on, let's get you home. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |

Warqad? | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
English. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:28 | |
-Post. -Good. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
Post? | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
Let me stay, please. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
I don't have to go back, I can stay in England with you. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
Time to go home to Somaliland, for the baby. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
Ooh! | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
The baby? | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
I get help. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
Ooh! | 0:03:12 | 0:03:13 | |
Thank you. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
Dad, I don't like the look of this row between the Russians | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
and the Americans. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
Neither do I, son. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:23 | |
Bacon and eggs coming up. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
Nothing in front of your mother. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:26 | |
She doesn't need anything else to worry about. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
Ah, thank you! Ooh, it looks delicious. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
Be even better with some tomato ketchup. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
I'm afraid it's been packed. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:36 | |
We don't move for ten days! | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
Yes, and there's so much to do! | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
I've looked out a box for each of you. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
Go through your possessions and root out anything that you no longer use. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
I've already filled a box with items belonging to myself and Angela. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
Why do Dad and I have one large box each, | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
while you and Angela have one small box between you? | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
Because Angela and I don't have a tendency towards hoarding. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
Hello, Fred. Found her, then? | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
No prizes for guessing where. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
Is she all right? | 0:04:10 | 0:04:11 | |
A bit chilled. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
Let's get you warmed up and inside with some tea and cake. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
I am no Marie Antoinette. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
I will not eat cake while my sister moulders in the asylum. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
I will not eat at all until I am assured she is unharmed. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
Whatever the pain was, it wasn't contractions. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
Practice ones maybe. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
And you've had nothing since? | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
Nothing. I am well again, | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
but perhaps not well enough to go on a boat. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
Who said anything about a boat? | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
My wife leaves in two weeks, so the baby can be born in Somaliland. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
A fast boat, is it? | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
I know you think you're only seven months along, Mrs Farah, | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
but actually you're more like nine. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
This baby is coming any day. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
I will be at sea. I leave tomorrow. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
-My wife knows no-one here. -It will be fine. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
I have good neighbours and my sister, Deka. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:19 | |
And now you've got us as well. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
You come down to the clinic with me this afternoon, | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
we'll do all our checks and get you booked in. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
Don't worry, Mr Farah, your wife will be in good hands. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
-PRESIDENT KENNEDY ON RADIO: -'It shall be the policy of this nation | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
'to regard any nuclear missile launched from Cuba | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
'against any nation in the Western Hemisphere | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
'as an attack by the Soviet Union on the United States, | 0:05:42 | 0:05:47 | |
'requiring a full retaliatory response...' | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
That's quite enough of that, thank you very much. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
You can't turn off President Kennedy! | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
He's got the future of the Free World in his hands! | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
If he was truly concerned about the future of the Free World, | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
he wouldn't be making such inflammatory remarks. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
If we're all heading for oblivion, we need to be prepared. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
There you are, Nurse Franklin. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:07 | |
There's a gentleman on the telephone asking for you, | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
a Mr Christopher Dockerill? | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
Thank you, but I can't possibly speak to him at the moment. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
Oh, why's that? | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
I'm in the middle of an inventory of the cupboards. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
With Armageddon looming, it seems wise to line-up our supplies. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
I'll tell him that you're unavailable. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
You, you've brought me back to the wrong place. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
Don't worry, everyone's always a little bit fuzzy | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
when they come back from shock treatment. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
I was by myself before. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
Doctor's transferred you to a general ward. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
No more shock treatment - thinks you're on the mend! | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
Will I be discharged now? Will I be sent home? | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
One step at a time. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:57 | |
First thing you need is a nap to shake off that grogginess | 0:06:57 | 0:07:01 | |
and then a nice bath, hm? | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
Afternoon, Mrs Turner. I'm sorry I'm late, but this is Mrs Farah. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
She's due any day, but hasn't been to the clinic yet. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:25 | |
Of course. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:26 | |
Let's see if we can jump you up the queue, Mrs Farah. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
It can take a while to get through everything on a first appointment. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
Cubicle two is free. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
No, it isn't. Puffy ankles. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
-I've just asked Doctor to take a look. -Cubicle one, then. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
Are we collecting for jumble? | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
I'm having a clear-out in advance of our house move. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
I thought we could make use of these things in the waiting area. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
Oh, yes? | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
Dr Turner is going to set about the doll with the Swarfega | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
when he has a spare moment. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
But I thought my old magazines might provide light relief for our ladies. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
They have some very useful fashion features. | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
I've never needed an editorial to instruct me on | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
how to put myself together, and I've never had any complaints. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:05 | |
I've come across a few sailors from Somaliland, | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
but not many of their wives. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:11 | |
Most prefer to stay in Africa, | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
but my husband is more handsome than theirs. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
Sorry to interrupt, I've bought Mrs Farah's notes card. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
Lovely, thanks. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:20 | |
Now, Mrs Farah, I'll just have a little check down below. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
I'll be very gentle, | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
but it will be easier if you can try to relax. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
Easy for her to say. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
Is this your first baby? | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
Yes, I've been married a year. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
Can I help, Nurse Dyer? | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
Mrs Farah, do you mind me asking, | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
have you had any...surgery down there? | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
Only what is usual. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
Usual? | 0:09:07 | 0:09:08 | |
When I was a child. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
It was done to all of us. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
Is there something wrong? | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
There's nothing there but a scar from front to back. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:25 | |
Are you sure? | 0:09:25 | 0:09:26 | |
Mrs Farah has as much visible genitalia as that doll. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
It's like she's been...sealed up. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
But how did she get pregnant? How does she urinate, menstruate...? | 0:09:33 | 0:09:37 | |
Whoever stitched the scar left a small hole. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:41 | |
The strangest thing about it is that she seems to think | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
the "arrangement" is quite normal. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
I can't think of a medical reason for it. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
We'll need to refer her to St Cuthbert's. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
I should say so. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:53 | |
After seeing her anatomy I can scarcely imagine how baby got in, | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
never mind how he's going to get back out. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
Thank you. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
Excuse me? These aren't my clothes. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
I wear a habit, a cap and a veil! | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
What's the matter now? | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
I need my own clothes, Nurse. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
They're a sign of my commitment to seek God with my whole being! | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
-They're a sign of who I am. -Come on. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
I deem it shrewd to be suspicious of men on the doorstep | 0:10:30 | 0:10:34 | |
who are not the trembling husbands of expectant wives. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
I was hoping to see Nurse Franklin. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
We went out for dinner recently, | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
and I was rather hoping we might repeat the experience. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
You present no credentials. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:48 | |
How can I be confident your purpose is sincere? | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
I met Nurse Franklin through our work at the clinic. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
I'm a dentist at St Cuthbert's. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:55 | |
Do you stop the teeth of your patients with mercury? | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
I... I use a dental amalgam. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:02 | |
It's basically a blend of silver, tin, copper and mercury. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:06 | |
And it has people running mad! | 0:11:06 | 0:11:08 | |
Asylums are filled with the victims of your poison! | 0:11:08 | 0:11:12 | |
Good afternoon. Oh, Mr Dockerill, how very pleasant. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:16 | |
-May I help you? -He has designs upon Nurse Franklin. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:20 | |
I'm very glad to hear it. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
-Although I'm afraid she's not at home. -Ah. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
Gangway, please, Sister, let the young man step inside. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
And we'll put these flowers in water. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
I went and had a rummage in the laundry room. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
Thank you. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:45 | |
Oh, I loved these clothes. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
From the minute I put them on they felt like friends to me. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
And when I was ill, I was a stranger to myself. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
Even though I clung to them there was no comfort there. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
I think things might be different now. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make a fuss. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |
But all the time I was ill, I fell short in my commitment to God, | 0:12:06 | 0:12:11 | |
so now that I'm better it's important that I do things properly. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:15 | |
Why does she sit there? | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
She's waiting for her son to collect her. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
She doesn't remember from one day to the next that he never turns up. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:26 | |
Lobotomies are like that. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
They drill into the brain to get rid of the illness, | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
but sometimes there's not a lot left. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
I'll pray for her. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
How was Mrs Nolan's delivery? | 0:12:40 | 0:12:42 | |
No complications - | 0:12:42 | 0:12:43 | |
another not-so-little boy weighing nine pounds four. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:47 | |
Ooh, she can certainly grow them. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:49 | |
Oh, you had a gentleman caller at the door. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:53 | |
It was that rather fetching dentist, with a bunch of flowers, no less. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
Sister Monica Joan had engaged him in a debate on | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
the merits and demerits of mercury fillings. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:03 | |
At least, she was debating, he just looked scared. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:05 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:07 | |
I smoothed things over, and we had quite a pleasant conversation. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:11 | |
In the course of which he revealed | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
that you'd rebuffed him several times. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
A lady doesn't like to look too keen, | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
especially when the man drives a sports car. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:21 | |
There's looking too keen, Trixie, | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
and there's cutting off your nose to spite your face. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
Oh, Phyllis! | 0:13:27 | 0:13:29 | |
I've spent a lot of time wanting to be with someone, | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
now I have the opportunity I'm not sure I have the gumption. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
Failure isn't fatal, but hesitation can be. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:41 | |
Give yourself a chance. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
And him. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
I put the flowers in the scullery. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
A man can look such a fool, walking away with a bouquet. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
Sister, please get back into bed. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
I have to say my offices at a set time every day. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
Lauds is meant to be said on waking. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
And I'm meant to keep all of you in bed | 0:14:10 | 0:14:11 | |
until I've been round with the teeth tray and commode. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
Thanks. And say one for me. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
My Bible's gone! Someone's taken it! | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
-Things do go missing if you aren't careful. -I need it. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
I need it so that I can study for my life vows. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
If it's gone, it's gone. Come on. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
Nurse Franklin, you've got Mrs Dempsey and Mrs Brackman. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
-Nurse Gilbert, Mrs Davies, Mrs... -Ah, sorry to interrupt. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:50 | |
I spoke to Mr Kenley at St Cuthbert's. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
He'll see Mrs Farah tomorrow at 11 o'clock. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
If you could let her know about the appointment. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
And I wondered if one of you might accompany her | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
in case there are any issues. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
-I can go. -Thank you. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:05 | |
Did Mr Kenley have any idea what happened to her? | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
He thinks it might be something called pharaonic circumcision, | 0:15:08 | 0:15:13 | |
which includes, amongst other things, the removal of the clitoris. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
Apparently it's a practice common in parts of Africa and the Middle East. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:23 | |
So why haven't we encountered it before in our Muslim mothers? | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
I've not seen it in any of our Sylheti ladies. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
I asked the same question. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:31 | |
Apparently, the practice predates Islam, | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
and prevalence varies depending on geography. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
I'll leave you to it. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
Ooh, makes me shudder just thinking about it. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
How can anyone think removing genitalia is a good idea? | 0:15:44 | 0:15:48 | |
It's not so long ago that their removal was practised | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
in this country. It was deployed to treat all manner of maladies, | 0:15:51 | 0:15:56 | |
-primarily of the female mind. -Ugh. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
Is anybody going to empty that autoclave? | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
The morning's post brings good news. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
Sister Mary Cynthia has been moved to a general ward, so we may visit. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:15 | |
You trick me so I will break my fast? | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
See for yourself. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:22 | |
It's from the Sister at Linchmere. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:24 | |
So how are you doing getting ready for baby? | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
I have nappies. A gift from my neighbour. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:44 | |
And Looyaan says he will bring things after his voyage. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
We have a cupboard full of donated items at Nonnatus House. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:51 | |
I'm sure we can find what you need in the meantime. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
Then all we have to worry about is keeping that baby inside | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
till Mr Kenley's had a look at you. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
Oi! Out of there, thank you! | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
I've washed my hands. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
Go to school! | 0:17:04 | 0:17:05 | |
I'm going to be a nurse. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:06 | |
-SHE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE -Go! | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
Your sister would make a lovely nurse. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
So this is normal? | 0:17:16 | 0:17:18 | |
To go to the hospital? | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
Every case is different. I'll be there with you. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:24 | |
But I am more different than most? | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |
When it comes to childbirth, every woman is completely different. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
There really is no such thing as normal or not normal. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:37 | |
Does that make sense? Or has the sun gone to my head? | 0:17:37 | 0:17:41 | |
There is no sun in England in October. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:44 | |
There you go, then. She must be talking sense. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:47 | |
RADIO NEWS ANNOUNCEMENT | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |
Oh, I'm beginning to wonder if this Cuban crisis will ever be over. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
-It does feel never-ending. -I'm home. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
Oh, I was starting to worry. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:01 | |
I walked the long way back, past the new house. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:03 | |
I didn't know it was just around the corner | 0:18:03 | 0:18:05 | |
from where Susan Parkin lives. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:06 | |
That's not a name we've heard before. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
She goes to St Lawrence's. She's in my chemistry club. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
And soon she'll be at your bus stop every morning. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |
-That might cause something of a "reaction." -Honestly. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:17 | |
I can't even mention a name without you jumping to conclusions. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:21 | |
-WOMAN: -This is the ward, Sister. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
Oh, you came! | 0:18:34 | 0:18:36 | |
It is you. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
Lost to us no longer, but here before us, perfect and complete. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:47 | |
Well, I'm still in one piece. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
I wish we'd found you sooner. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
I'm sorry I didn't look harder. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
And we will make amends for every week you've spent away from us, | 0:18:54 | 0:19:00 | |
for every day you spent beyond the reach of love. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
She has never been beyond the reach of love. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
For all love is His, and He is everywhere. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:11 | |
We're going to try to secure your discharge, but if there's anything | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
we can do to improve things for you until then, you must tell us. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:24 | |
There are just so many patients and so few nurses. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:28 | |
Go on. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
Well, it's so full of noise and chaos that somebody took my Bible, | 0:19:32 | 0:19:37 | |
I didn't even see it go. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
That is a-a-an unconscionable act! | 0:19:39 | 0:19:43 | |
I found silence so hard when I first joined the Order - | 0:19:43 | 0:19:47 | |
I didn't think I could ever crave it. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
Port! | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
Starboard! | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
Up periscope! | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
Crow's nest! | 0:20:04 | 0:20:06 | |
Crashing in on my Cubs without warning. Oh, no, you don't! | 0:20:06 | 0:20:10 | |
We're setting up for a Civil Defence meeting here. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:14 | |
These boys come to Cubs to learn useful things by having fun | 0:20:14 | 0:20:18 | |
and that does not include you scaring the life out of them | 0:20:18 | 0:20:21 | |
with posters illustrating the perils of the nuclear winter. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
-Am I clear? Pack, pack, pack. BOYS: -Pack. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:28 | |
Right, lads, let's just wait outside. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
Terry! | 0:20:31 | 0:20:33 | |
Linchmere is not an appropriate environment for Sister Mary Cynthia. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:41 | |
We have to secure her discharge. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
Her original detention order would've expired after 28 days. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:48 | |
Although reactive depression has a good prognosis in the long term, | 0:20:48 | 0:20:53 | |
it's quite a journey to full recovery. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
She will still need care. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
Care we can provide at Nonnatus House, surely? | 0:20:57 | 0:21:01 | |
Would you like me to call the hospital? | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
I could talk to her psychiatrist in my capacity as her GP. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:08 | |
I'll come to you if I may, if I need your help, | 0:21:08 | 0:21:13 | |
but I'd like to do as much as I possibly can myself. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
It's one way of showing her how much she is valued... | 0:21:17 | 0:21:21 | |
and my way of making amends. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:22 | |
And release the clutch and pull smoothly away. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
That is not the clutch. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:30 | |
You said it was ABC! Accelerator, brake, clutch! | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
It is, but in reverse order. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
Why does everything about driving have to be so complicated?! | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
Right, let's keep it simple. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
Emergency stops. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:44 | |
You're going to drive along and when you're least expecting it, | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
I will shout "Stop," | 0:21:47 | 0:21:48 | |
and you will bring the car to a safe but speedy halt. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
-Oh, dear! -Right. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:55 | |
Find anything suitable? | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
There's enough in here to keep baby Farah in matinee jackets | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
till he starts school. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:01 | |
-I won't ask. -Best not. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
I'm surprised she didn't pull up a chair beside you. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
Actually, I feel much more confident | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
when she isn't scrutinising my every move. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:18 | |
-I'm sailing along here. -Stop! -Ah! | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:22:23 | 0:22:27 | |
Scar tissue simply doesn't stretch. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
Aside from the need to widen the exit by cutting, | 0:22:33 | 0:22:38 | |
we'll need to protect the pelvic floor from damage. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:40 | |
Out of interest, Mrs Farah, did you suffer from urinary infections | 0:22:40 | 0:22:45 | |
or leakage of stale urine? | 0:22:45 | 0:22:47 | |
I'll speak to a colleague and get a second opinion, | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
but we're looking at a hospital delivery | 0:22:53 | 0:22:55 | |
with an elective episiotomy. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:57 | |
Mrs Farah needs to present at hospital the minute labour starts. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
-I'll see she understands. -Thank you. Goodbye, Mrs Farah. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:04 | |
Well done. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:09 | |
I could murder a hot sweet tea and a biscuit. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
Why don't you take a minute to yourself | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
and I'll see what I can arrange. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:17 | |
She will find contentment here. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
Here you are. You'll feel better after this... | 0:24:08 | 0:24:11 | |
They never come. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
We have a visitor. Come to take one of our ladies away. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:40 | |
This way, Sister. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:45 | |
That's my Bible, Mrs Archibald. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
I want you to have it. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:55 | |
Let it comfort you. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
Hello! | 0:25:13 | 0:25:15 | |
Mrs Farah? You there? | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
KNOCKING ON DOOR Mrs Farah? | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
In a few days' time, when you feel able, | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
you may wish to join us in our devotion, or at mealtimes. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:04 | |
But for now you must rest and replenish your spirit. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:09 | |
It's replenished already simply by being here. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:12 | |
Oh, these have seen better days. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:19 | |
I'll get you fresh things. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:22 | |
Everything all right, Deka? | 0:26:49 | 0:26:50 | |
Nadifa sent me out so she can have some peace. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |
Well, I could use you. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:55 | |
We've got some things for baby at Nonnatus, | 0:26:55 | 0:26:57 | |
if you want to come and fetch them. | 0:26:57 | 0:26:58 | |
Then can I see inside your bag? | 0:26:58 | 0:27:00 | |
God loves a trier. Come on. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:02 | |
But that's a special soap. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
Are you sure? | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
I think Sister Mary Cynthia would be perfectly satisfied | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
with something simpler. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:14 | |
I want her to have it. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:16 | |
I imagine she had nothing but carbolic in Linchmere. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:19 | |
I'm sorry not to let you give it to her yourself. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:22 | |
I'm afraid she needs complete rest. May I give her your regards? | 0:27:22 | 0:27:26 | |
Of course you may, but I'd rather you gave her my love. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:30 | |
These are frightening times. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:39 | |
Why do we need to paint our windows? | 0:27:45 | 0:27:47 | |
Well, the idea of the white paint is | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
it deflects the heat from the initial blast. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
And obviously, you need to paint them on the outside. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:55 | |
President Kennedy will fix things before it comes to that. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:58 | |
-He could charm the birds out of the trees. -Hm. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:02 | |
Unfortunately, Khrushchev isn't a bird, he's a bear, | 0:28:02 | 0:28:07 | |
and bears don't like to back down. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:10 | |
You really think we need to be worried? | 0:28:10 | 0:28:12 | |
There is cause for concern. | 0:28:12 | 0:28:15 | |
It's not looking good. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:16 | |
It's too horrible to think about, so you'll forgive me if I don't. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:21 | |
I need to go and do a check on Mrs Greene. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:23 | |
And don't forget, spread the word. | 0:28:23 | 0:28:25 | |
You tell one woman to paint her windows, | 0:28:25 | 0:28:29 | |
she tells five of her pals, and before you know it, | 0:28:29 | 0:28:32 | |
every family in Poplar is prepared for a nuclear attack. | 0:28:32 | 0:28:35 | |
This is my Bunsen burner, essential kit for testing urine. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:45 | |
What might I be testing it for? | 0:28:45 | 0:28:47 | |
-Protein? -You are a quick study. | 0:28:47 | 0:28:51 | |
I heard we'd acquired a new midwife. | 0:28:51 | 0:28:53 | |
We finalised the selection of items for Mrs Farah's baby. | 0:28:53 | 0:28:56 | |
Ah, come on, then, gather it all up. I'll walk you home. | 0:28:56 | 0:28:59 | |
I hope she's not been making a nuisance of herself. | 0:29:01 | 0:29:03 | |
I rather like her. She reminds me of myself at her age. | 0:29:03 | 0:29:07 | |
I was desperate for every bit of medical knowledge going. | 0:29:07 | 0:29:10 | |
I was particularly interested in venereal disease. | 0:29:10 | 0:29:13 | |
Hm. Useful to know. All set? | 0:29:13 | 0:29:16 | |
We can show your sister what we've got for baby. | 0:29:29 | 0:29:32 | |
-Nadifa. -SHE CRIES | 0:29:32 | 0:29:35 | |
Oh, no! | 0:29:35 | 0:29:37 | |
Don't push, Nadifa, you mustn't push. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:42 | |
Let me see. | 0:29:42 | 0:29:44 | |
SHE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE | 0:29:44 | 0:29:47 | |
Something about a knife. | 0:29:48 | 0:29:50 | |
Can you tell your neighbour to telephone an ambulance? | 0:29:50 | 0:29:53 | |
Nadifa, I need to take a look at what's happening. | 0:29:55 | 0:29:58 | |
Can you open your legs for me? | 0:29:58 | 0:30:00 | |
SHE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE | 0:30:00 | 0:30:03 | |
Nadifa, I know what's in your head feels real, but it's a memory. | 0:30:05 | 0:30:10 | |
Look around you - you're in London. | 0:30:12 | 0:30:14 | |
You're all grown up and you've got a lovely husband | 0:30:14 | 0:30:17 | |
and you're about to have a lovely baby. | 0:30:17 | 0:30:19 | |
Look at me. Look at me! | 0:30:19 | 0:30:23 | |
I'm going to help you. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:25 | |
No knife. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:30 | |
No knife. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:37 | |
I spoke to your neighbour. | 0:30:40 | 0:30:41 | |
She's going to look after you, so you're not on your own. | 0:30:41 | 0:30:45 | |
We need to slow baby down, so pant with me. Pant. Pant. Pant. | 0:30:50 | 0:30:55 | |
That's it, that's it - keep it up. | 0:30:57 | 0:31:00 | |
Oh, no! | 0:31:02 | 0:31:04 | |
Right. | 0:31:05 | 0:31:07 | |
Pull over right away. | 0:31:10 | 0:31:12 | |
You're doing so well, but I'm going to level with you, Nadifa. | 0:31:13 | 0:31:16 | |
All the panting in the world isn't going to stop this baby coming. | 0:31:16 | 0:31:19 | |
Don't push with this contraction. | 0:31:19 | 0:31:22 | |
SHE SCREAMS | 0:31:23 | 0:31:25 | |
Keep panting. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:27 | |
Take a breather for a second before the next one. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:31 | |
On the next contraction, when I give you the nod, | 0:31:35 | 0:31:37 | |
I want you to push and I'm going to help baby out, but not with a knife. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:42 | |
-Yes? -Yes. | 0:31:42 | 0:31:44 | |
There's no way for baby to get out, | 0:31:44 | 0:31:46 | |
so I'm going to make an opening with my special scissors. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:49 | |
Stay with me, Nadifa. | 0:31:49 | 0:31:51 | |
Contraction coming? | 0:31:54 | 0:31:56 | |
OK. So give me some of that panting. | 0:31:56 | 0:31:58 | |
And a little push. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:08 | |
SHE SCREAMS | 0:32:08 | 0:32:10 | |
That's the worst over, Nadifa. | 0:32:11 | 0:32:13 | |
And another push. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:16 | |
Head's born. | 0:32:19 | 0:32:21 | |
Nearly there. | 0:32:23 | 0:32:25 | |
BABY CRIES | 0:32:25 | 0:32:27 | |
One baby! | 0:32:38 | 0:32:39 | |
Meet your little girl. | 0:32:46 | 0:32:48 | |
Let's go. | 0:33:00 | 0:33:02 | |
I longed for this baby, Patrick. | 0:33:14 | 0:33:16 | |
Longed for it, prayed for it. | 0:33:17 | 0:33:20 | |
And now I'm wondering why my prayers were answered | 0:33:22 | 0:33:25 | |
because I don't know what sort of a world we're bringing it into. | 0:33:25 | 0:33:29 | |
And what about Timothy and Angela? | 0:33:30 | 0:33:33 | |
You know, President Kennedy has a son and a daughter, just like us. | 0:33:34 | 0:33:40 | |
And for all we know, his wife could be pregnant too. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:46 | |
We just have to hope that he thinks like a father, | 0:33:46 | 0:33:49 | |
as well as a politician. | 0:33:49 | 0:33:51 | |
We just have to hope. | 0:33:54 | 0:33:55 | |
And we're good at that, Shelagh. | 0:33:57 | 0:34:00 | |
Mrs Farah. Our circumcised lady. Planned episiotomy, | 0:34:07 | 0:34:10 | |
but the baby was coming so I had to do it myself in the ambulance. | 0:34:10 | 0:34:14 | |
-She has still torn quite badly. -Thank you. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:17 | |
Valerie, are you all right? What's happened? | 0:34:19 | 0:34:22 | |
She was in labour, on her own, for hours. | 0:34:22 | 0:34:24 | |
Was the delivery very bad? | 0:34:24 | 0:34:26 | |
The baby was tearing its way out. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:28 | |
Come on. Let's get you cleaned up. | 0:34:30 | 0:34:32 | |
KNOCK ON DOOR | 0:34:38 | 0:34:40 | |
I think perhaps it's time to close those books for the evening. | 0:34:43 | 0:34:47 | |
I have to keep going over things. | 0:34:47 | 0:34:50 | |
As soon as I think I've understood one element of doctrine, | 0:34:50 | 0:34:52 | |
I-I read a conflicting account and I'm lost again. | 0:34:52 | 0:34:55 | |
Well, there is such a thing as being too widely read, | 0:34:55 | 0:34:58 | |
particularly when it comes to some of | 0:34:58 | 0:34:59 | |
the more arcane areas of theology. | 0:34:59 | 0:35:01 | |
No! I have more to do. | 0:35:01 | 0:35:03 | |
And you can do it tomorrow when you're rested. | 0:35:03 | 0:35:05 | |
Remember, taking your vows isn't about what's in those books, | 0:35:08 | 0:35:13 | |
it's about what's in your heart. | 0:35:13 | 0:35:15 | |
Your love for God and his for you. | 0:35:15 | 0:35:17 | |
Without that, none of your studies mean anything at all. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:21 | |
If God loves me, and He wants me to do this, | 0:35:21 | 0:35:24 | |
why is He making it so hard? | 0:35:24 | 0:35:26 | |
You must sleep. | 0:35:26 | 0:35:29 | |
Sleep. | 0:35:29 | 0:35:32 | |
And in the morning things will seem much clearer. | 0:35:32 | 0:35:34 | |
# Have I not remembered thee in my bed | 0:35:38 | 0:35:42 | |
# And thought upon thee when I was waking? | 0:35:44 | 0:35:48 | |
# Because thou hast been my helper | 0:35:49 | 0:35:53 | |
# Therefore under the shadow of thy wings... # | 0:35:53 | 0:35:59 | |
I see someone's recovered from her ordeal. | 0:36:07 | 0:36:10 | |
Faduma has. | 0:36:10 | 0:36:12 | |
It might take me a bit longer. | 0:36:12 | 0:36:14 | |
Yes. Give it time. | 0:36:14 | 0:36:18 | |
Thank you. | 0:36:18 | 0:36:19 | |
There's no need to thank me. | 0:36:19 | 0:36:21 | |
I, I was just doing what I was trained to do. | 0:36:21 | 0:36:24 | |
When I was cut before, they tied my legs together until I healed. | 0:36:24 | 0:36:29 | |
I was only a child. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:34 | |
Perhaps I was too old when it happened. | 0:36:34 | 0:36:36 | |
My older sister was very young when it happened to her. | 0:36:36 | 0:36:41 | |
She remembers nothing. | 0:36:41 | 0:36:43 | |
I think perhaps it's better that way. | 0:36:44 | 0:36:47 | |
This is different, Nadifa. Mr Kenley didn't cut you, he repaired you. | 0:36:47 | 0:36:53 | |
-And nobody here's going to tie your legs together. -Repaired me? | 0:36:53 | 0:36:57 | |
You were badly torn during your delivery, Nadifa. | 0:36:57 | 0:37:01 | |
But what has he done? | 0:37:01 | 0:37:03 | |
How has he stitched me? | 0:37:03 | 0:37:05 | |
-I don't know... -He is a man! | 0:37:05 | 0:37:07 | |
How would he know how I should be sewn? | 0:37:08 | 0:37:11 | |
I'll talk to someone. I'll see what I can find out. | 0:37:11 | 0:37:14 | |
Your breakfast tray lies neglected in your room. | 0:37:36 | 0:37:40 | |
The rats may thank you for the gesture, but your health will not. | 0:37:41 | 0:37:46 | |
I try so hard. | 0:37:50 | 0:37:52 | |
It's as though there's a thick mist in my brain. I can't study. | 0:37:54 | 0:37:57 | |
I can't even pray. | 0:37:59 | 0:38:01 | |
It's like shouting in whispers, I'm not sure God can hear me, | 0:38:05 | 0:38:08 | |
and I'm sure I can't hear him. | 0:38:08 | 0:38:10 | |
That is static interference. | 0:38:10 | 0:38:12 | |
It will quiet soon. | 0:38:12 | 0:38:13 | |
No, it's been like this for months, | 0:38:13 | 0:38:17 | |
ever since I became ill. I just made excuses in the hospital. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:22 | |
I couldn't pray because I didn't have my Bible, or a chapel, | 0:38:22 | 0:38:26 | |
or silence. And here, I have all these things. | 0:38:26 | 0:38:31 | |
And there's nothing. | 0:38:33 | 0:38:35 | |
It is no bad thing to be lost in a fog, all at sea. | 0:38:38 | 0:38:42 | |
When land comes into view again, you will appreciate it with a keenness | 0:38:44 | 0:38:49 | |
that is denied to those who know nothing but the safety of the shore. | 0:38:49 | 0:38:54 | |
It's her body, Delia. It's what she knew. | 0:39:01 | 0:39:04 | |
Probably what her husband wanted. | 0:39:04 | 0:39:06 | |
And what about what she wants? | 0:39:06 | 0:39:09 | |
All I can say is, | 0:39:09 | 0:39:11 | |
Mr Kenley said he couldn't make good a procedure | 0:39:11 | 0:39:14 | |
that never should've been done in the first place. | 0:39:14 | 0:39:16 | |
And no-one's even told her? | 0:39:16 | 0:39:18 | |
Not yet. | 0:39:20 | 0:39:21 | |
Nurse Busby! | 0:39:21 | 0:39:23 | |
I'm just on my way to a Civil Defence meeting. | 0:39:37 | 0:39:39 | |
What's the latest? | 0:39:39 | 0:39:40 | |
It's hard to tell with no volume, | 0:39:40 | 0:39:42 | |
but the jist seems to be that if the USSR doesn't accept Kennedy's deal, | 0:39:42 | 0:39:45 | |
then we're all going to hell in a hand cart! | 0:39:45 | 0:39:49 | |
I really don't think this is the time for levity, Barbara. | 0:39:49 | 0:39:52 | |
Sorry. Came out wrong. I think I'm just trying to be brave. | 0:39:52 | 0:39:56 | |
There's nothing wrong with that in the middle of all this. | 0:39:58 | 0:40:01 | |
Where are you going, Trixie? | 0:40:04 | 0:40:06 | |
To make a phone call. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:07 | |
May I suggest we spend the evening in the chapel, | 0:40:23 | 0:40:26 | |
praying for a peaceful resolution to this conflict. | 0:40:26 | 0:40:30 | |
DOOR OPENS | 0:40:30 | 0:40:32 | |
May I speak to Christopher Dockerill? | 0:40:43 | 0:40:46 | |
Hello. It's Trixie. | 0:40:47 | 0:40:50 | |
I hope you don't think I'm being forward, | 0:40:50 | 0:40:53 | |
but I find myself unexpectedly free this evening. | 0:40:53 | 0:40:56 | |

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