00:27Sometimes,
00:29our new beginnings have been yearned for.
00:34We have chosen them.
00:37Others lie in wait and burst upon us like bad weather.
00:43All unwelcome beasts.
00:47Little wonder that we cling to what is certain.
00:51Home, the hearth, the family, born or found.
00:56Places where no storms land.
01:00And we think no winds can blow.
01:05What's happening with the father in all this?
01:08Is there any prospect of marriage?
01:10I've asked her that and she wouldn't answer.
01:12How could you be so stupid, Belinda?
01:15You wear the world at your feet.
01:19University.
01:20Once you gave up on the idea of nursing,
01:22you were going to be a history teacher.
01:25I can still be a history teacher.
01:27Who's going to give you a job?
01:29You'll be an unmarried mother.
01:30Rhoda, the world's changing.
01:32Not fast enough.
01:34People keep saying the world's changing for people like Susan
01:37and I don't see any evidence of it.
01:39This isn't about Susan.
01:40Mum.
01:45Lady Aylward,
01:47would you consider entering into partnership with me?
01:51Partnership?
01:51I intend to semi-retire and I thought that 40% ownership
01:57of the Lady Emily might appeal,
02:00with the backing of the Aylward estate, of course.
02:02I'm afraid I don't have access to the Aylward estate capital,
02:06Mr. Scarisbrick, and neither does my husband.
02:09Everything is under the control of my mother-in-law, Lavinia.
02:12Ah, of course, dear, difficult Lavinia.
02:16I remember her from our dancing days.
02:19Nevertheless, I would like you to at least consider the offer.
02:23Perhaps you could put your wiles to work.
02:29Hey, look, you've got to calm down.
02:32All right?
02:32And you've got to sit down.
02:34And then we can work things out.
02:36Look, if there is one thing that we're really good at as a family,
02:39it is working our problem.
02:40I didn't do this as part of the family, Dad.
02:42I did it on my own.
02:43And you have fun, did you?
02:45It was fun-tastic.
02:47While it lasted.
02:54Hey.
02:56This isn't your fault.
02:59Eh?
03:00How beautiful.
03:09Oh, Peril!
03:12I thought we had mice.
03:13Which aren't unheard of, even in the best-managed mansion flats.
03:16I was feeling the heat.
03:18I think it's that continental quilt.
03:21I don't think they'll catch on over here.
03:23The winters aren't cold enough.
03:25I'll swap you with this candlewick.
03:27Tomorrow.
03:28No.
03:35Sister, if you don't want to take the diuretics anymore, I accept that.
03:43You're not going to dissuade me?
03:46No.
03:49I tried to.
03:51Out of love.
03:54As we discussed.
03:56And now I will stop.
03:59Out of respect.
04:08Good morning.
04:09Good morning.
04:11Good morning.
04:12Rosalind.
04:12I went on an early morning excursion to a number of news stations and bought bridal magazines
04:18in all of them.
04:19I have no time to get anything made.
04:20There are superb ready-to-wear options these days.
04:23And every boutique worth knowing will be listed in the small ads.
04:26I've never even decided if I'm going to wear white.
04:28And the weather's going to be cold.
04:30It's a wedding dress.
04:31Why would you not want white?
04:33There are wonderful options in lace that would look divine with a long sleeve.
04:38Delicate, virginal, and no-one will see your goosebumps.
04:42I've just had two very interesting phone calls.
04:45First St Cusperts telling me that Mrs Rhoda Mollocks is pressing for an early discharge
04:50after a cholecystectomy.
04:52She's not going to be very well at all.
04:54Should I add her to the district nursing list?
04:56Thank you, Nurse Clifford.
04:57But then I had Mrs Mollocks ring to say that their elder daughter is expecting
05:02and in need of our attention.
05:04I'll put Mrs Turner on to this.
05:06She knows the family well.
05:09Nurse Crane, I'm afraid I'd need to speak to you about Sister Monica Joan.
05:16There isn't a GP on this earth that would force a determined woman of 90-odd
05:21to take medication if she doesn't want to.
05:23All it will do is make her more unhappy.
05:25She's almost cheery this morning.
05:28If anything, you'd think she was on the mend.
05:31Well, don't bother her with any urine or blood tests for now.
05:35The symptoms will speak for themselves.
05:37Thank you, Doctor.
05:39I'll keep you informed as things unfold.
05:45Dr Turner, I have just received the most infuriating communication from Central Supplies,
05:50asking you for the return of every item of council-owned equipment in our possession.
05:55Now?
05:56Um, prior or immediately subsequent to the closure of your facility as appropriate.
06:02Well, the closure itself isn't appropriate.
06:05And every bed, kidney bowl and set of clamps is staying on these premises until the last mother and baby
06:12go out of those doors.
06:13We've included this entirely spurious list of items headed assumed inventory.
06:19It will be consigned to the incinerator and I shall prepare an audit of our own.
06:23The incubator never belonged to Central Supplies.
06:27It was paid for by the people of Poplar because the council wouldn't provide the funds.
06:32They are not having it.
06:35And I'm still a GP.
06:36Send in my next patient.
06:42I don't think your dates are quite right, Belinda.
06:46You feel close to turn to me.
06:48Does that mean I'm going to have it soon?
06:49Very possibly.
06:50She was here all through the summer holidays and as Rhoda keeps telling me there was nothing showing.
06:55Bernie, why don't you go to work until Rhoda arrives in the ambulance?
07:00Belinda and I can work through some tests and I'll make enquiries about her home health.
07:05Mum will tell you she doesn't need one.
07:07And I'll tell her that without one she'll end up back in hospital.
07:11Don't worry.
07:12We'll soon get things organised for both of you.
07:16You are more than welcome.
07:18Mr Franklin will see you at four o'clock.
07:22Viola player with a wry neck and begging to be squeezed in.
07:26I have to say, I could fill your brother's diary twice over and there'd still be people weeping at the
07:31gates.
07:32I was thinking you might like to have a weekly clinic at the Lady Emily when I start as matron
07:36there.
07:37Have you told anyone at Ninata's house yet?
07:39That I'm moving?
07:42I'll speak to Sister Julia when she's back from the mother house.
07:45Are you afraid how she might react?
07:46I'm terrified.
07:48Not because she'll be angry, but because she'll be quite calm.
07:52Not because she'll be disappointed, but that she'll be accepting.
07:57But worst of all, I'm terrified she'll smile and wrap her arms around me and tell me it's all God's
08:05plan.
08:06What if it is God's plan?
08:08Then I resent it.
08:10We've spent years and years and years trying to determine and do the best for the women of Poplar.
08:20But in the end it all counts for nothing.
08:23Because some great imaginary being decided otherwise.
08:28Well, just because God is invisible doesn't make him imaginary.
08:35Rhoda, I need to take your blood pressure.
08:38And then I want you upstairs and resting in bed.
08:41Just let us hear from the Thalidomide Society and the campaign.
08:44They need dealing with.
08:46And I need to talk to Belinda.
08:49She's upstairs.
08:51I think she was feeling quite...
08:54anxious.
08:57Belinda!
09:01I need to say what all mums say, don't I?
09:06I need to say you're not the first.
09:10And you won't be the last.
09:15It'll be all right, love.
09:18We've got through worse than this.
09:21I never got through worse than this.
09:27I wish to sit in the chair.
09:30And I find myself desirous of a pomegranate.
09:36That would be most unwise.
09:38Pomegranates are extremely high in potassium.
09:41Can I fetch you some other nice fruit from the market?
09:45I would like you to summon someone from this establishment.
09:52Albion and Sans is an undertaker's.
09:55And I will have a pomegranate.
09:59I'll never finish with God.
10:02And I'll never question Him.
10:04It's only myself I'm confused about.
10:07And what I want.
10:09And whether it's right for me to want it.
10:12I know you want a child, Meryl.
10:15But is there more to it than that?
10:18I've wanted a child.
10:20So much.
10:22It filled my every aching moment.
10:26My every waking thought.
10:28But now...
10:31I've started my menopause.
10:36I've left it all too late.
10:44I loved Susan from the moment I saw her.
10:48So did I.
10:51But I was scared.
10:53About what you'd think.
10:56You and Perry.
10:58Because I knew your lives had changed.
11:01I knew...
11:02We were all headed somewhere.
11:06That wasn't normal.
11:07Susan was normal.
11:09To us.
11:10Sometimes I only remembered she was different when I saw other people's faces.
11:14She made us more of a gang though, didn't she?
11:17Still does.
11:19Malick's is against the world.
11:22And you were never Jasper Linda after she came along.
11:26You were Susan's sister.
11:28I don't want you to think I'm not proud of that.
11:32But I had to look at everything that way.
11:35And everybody looked at me that way.
11:36When I went to university, I wasn't Susan's sister.
11:42And when I thought I was wanted.
11:45That I was special.
11:47I was just so thrilled.
11:50I did stupid, stupid things.
11:53If that's because of anything that I did.
11:57Then I was stupid too.
12:03Dr. Turner.
12:04Phillip Harry.
12:06That son of yours is shaping up quite nicely.
12:09We'll make an obstetrician of him yet.
12:11I'm still hoping to make him a GP.
12:13Later this month.
12:14We're trying out some new diagnostic technology.
12:16I thought you might send some patients my way.
12:19Of course.
12:19In return for a preview.
12:22Were you taken by surprise when I requested your attendance?
12:26We genuinely look after the deceased, Sister Monica Jones.
12:30But it seems to me that caring for the dying matters just as much.
12:35I do not fear death.
12:38I am however beset by all manner of opinions.
12:42About your funeral.
12:43There are rites and rituals that are prescribed.
12:47And I embrace them.
12:49But I find I cannot rest.
12:52Lest my farewell is not managed in the way it ought to be.
12:56If you explain to me.
12:58Why you think that is.
12:59I can help.
13:01By working out what you should do.
13:09Fred!
13:11Fred!
13:13What's the matter, Sister?
13:15Sister Monica Jones has asked for the wheelchair.
13:18Oh, blimey.
13:19Is it still in the shed?
13:24I've been using it to transport compost.
13:27I thought she'd approve of that.
13:35Nanata's house made by speaking.
13:37Sis, it's me.
13:39Matthew's been trying to get hold of you.
13:41I'm on a house call, Geoffrey. What's the matter?
13:42It's your ma-in-law, the other Lady Aylward.
13:45Sis, she's had a massive heart attack.
13:47Matthew's already left for the airport.
13:49They quarrelled so badly when she took over the company.
13:52He'll be desperate to see her.
13:53I'm afraid it's too late.
13:57Sometimes I think it's a market that has changed at least.
14:00The produce always marked the changing of the seasons.
14:04Even during times of war.
14:06I remember some winters, there was nothing on these vegetables except turnips and dried peas.
14:14All right, Sister.
14:16Fancy a few bananas on the house.
14:20My eyes are dimmer than once they were.
14:24It is Mr. Morris, is it not?
14:28Who wants to know? The old Bill?
14:33The sisters brought all of our kids into the world, but you delivered the first one and the last.
14:41Which was a fortling breach.
14:44I recall that now.
14:46While Mildred said afterwards, don't you ever charge her for bananas again.
14:51How about a few chrysamps, Sister?
14:53Oh, thank you.
14:56I don't deserve such generosity.
14:59I'd let them be the judge of that.
15:09The flags beneath these wheels are worn quite smooth.
15:17One thinks about the feet that made them, sir.
15:21The brides.
15:24The mothers of a thousand infants brought to be baptized.
15:32The mourners.
15:37I see a few churches in my line of work.
15:41I always reckon this one is the best.
15:46Do you ever pray, Mr. Mollocks?
15:51I have felt the inclination once or twice.
15:59I will be buried at the mother house.
16:04But I want my requiem to take place here.
16:10I am not only leaving this earth, Mr. Mollocks.
16:13I am leaving Poplar.
16:16And it is my home.
16:22Has there ever been a greater indicator of a shotgun wedding status than a hastily buttercreamed vanilla sponge?
16:31Pick your nozzle.
16:33I'll do the small rosettes, you can do the large ones.
16:36I do so wish you were able to come.
16:39I always loved to party.
16:41Almost more than anything.
16:43When I was a nun, I was always sat on the sidelines.
16:46Now not a nun.
16:48However temporarily.
16:50And banished.
16:52I could give a good account of myself in the Foxtrot once upon a time.
16:56Oh, I adore a Foxtrot.
16:59I also know of a lovely lounge bar where they play all the right tunes and serve resplendent cocktails.
17:06I'll take you there if you like.
17:08I'd like to be anywhere where I'm not on the fringes.
17:14This campaign is making you ill.
17:15You've got to give it a mess, Rowan.
17:17Where's that going to get anyone?
17:19Susan is never, ever going to be independent.
17:22I think about that every day.
17:23What good are you going to be if you rip your stitches out?
17:25Do you want me to carry you up?
17:28Yes, so I can't hear them.
17:30I think they're doing quite well, don't you?
17:53For a moment.
17:54I thought she was Sister Maud.
17:58I think I've heard of Sister Maud.
18:01But she passed away long before my time.
18:05She was the infirmarian.
18:09And she loved her deathbed more than any birthing chamber.
18:14The end of life was always more compelling to her than its commencement.
18:24Sometimes I saw her weep.
18:28She wept when she died.
18:32But religious are supposed to welcome the end when it is offered to us.
18:41I think...
18:45It is offered to me now.
18:47No, Sister.
18:49You were the one who foretold it.
18:53What do you mean?
18:54At Christmas.
18:56When we saw another pass through the veil from this world to the next.
19:04I can't recall his name, but his eyes were bright.
19:11Like Robins.
19:14Mr. Fisher.
19:18He was met by all who loved him.
19:23And you said the sisters would come for me.
19:29When you die?
19:32I saw Sister Maud as clearly as I see you now.
19:41And I know it has begun.
19:50I'm not convinced it's imminent.
19:52But she's asked to see the priest.
19:55I will come back tomorrow.
19:57I was already preparing to leave.
20:00As there have been discussions and a vote.
20:03And I have news to impart.
20:05Will you impart it when you get home?
20:07Yes.
20:09Please.
20:10Just stay with our sister now.
20:12I won't leave her for a moment.
20:16Oh, come on, lass.
20:18We're in this together.
20:21There's going to be a wedding.
20:24That's life though, isn't it?
20:27And I didn't dare tell Sister Julianne the other thing she asked for.
20:34So, a little word told us you fancy the gin and tonic.
20:38You better drink it because we had to go to the off license specially.
20:42I have heard the beverage mentioned so often in my lifetime.
20:47And always in such approving terms.
20:52I thought it a shame.
20:54I was so ignorant.
20:56Well, we all fear keeping your liquids off.
20:59Go on.
21:09I declare myself enamored.
21:22I declare myself enamored.
21:28For a wedding.
21:29I'm looking forward to the trifle.
21:31I love trifle.
21:33Phyllis had to put it back in the fridge.
21:34The custard hadn't set yet.
21:36Are you serving the bride breakfast in bed in the morning, Millicent?
21:39I most certainly am.
21:43I've also thought of an additional embellishment.
21:49Welcome back, sister!
22:14Welcome back, sister!
22:15Hiya.
22:16Hi, Broadbo.
22:20We put some peppermints on the tray.
22:33Saltfish, ackee and fried dumpling.
22:37You need a proper breakfast inside you today of all days.
22:41Thank you for being my witness, Mrs. Wallis.
22:43I am not your witness.
22:46God is your witness.
22:48Even if the wedding is in our registry office.
22:52Is that shirt ready, Mrs. Buckle?
22:55Well, I'm not satisfied with the right handcuff.
22:58Oh, by the way, Cyril,
23:00Fred wondered which firm you booked your taxes with.
23:03Muzzy's Mortars.
23:05Just in case there's any problems.
23:10Thank you for your patience, ladies.
23:12May I present the bride.
23:15Oh, my God!
23:20Pinard to the ready!
23:21Oh, my God!
23:25Woo!
23:26Woo!
23:26Woo!
23:28Woo!
23:29Woo!
23:29Woo!
23:30Woo!
23:36Woo!
23:36Woo!
23:39Woo!
23:41Woo!
23:41Woo!
23:44Woo!
23:45Woo!
23:45Father Hillary is hearing her confession.
23:56Will you please repeat after me?
23:58I do solemnly declare that I know not of any lawful impediment
24:04why I, Rosalind Anne Clifford.
24:07I do solemnly declare that I know not of any lawful impediment
24:14why I...
24:17Rosalind Anne Clifford.
24:22Rosalind Anne Clifford.
24:24May not be joined in matrimony to thee, Cyril Alphonse Robinson.
24:30May not be joined in matrimony to thee, Cyril Alphonse Robinson.
24:41Through this holy anointing, may the Lord, in his love and mercy, help you with the grace of the Holy
24:46Spirit.
24:47May the Lord, who frees you from sin, save you, and raise you up.
24:56Amen.
24:57Amen.
25:01I marry you with this ring, because you are more precious to me than all the gold the world contains.
25:11And I marry you with this ring, because a circle is eternal, and our love will never end.
25:25Receive, sister, this food for thy journey, the body of our Lord Jesus Christ.
25:31May he preserve thee from the malicious enemy, and bring thee to everlasting life.
25:38Amen.
25:39Amen.
25:40Amen.
25:42Amen.
25:48Amen.
26:19It is quite wonderfully made.
26:23When I made my vows to Christ,
26:26we were told,
26:28a single lily must suffice.
26:32I should have liked that better.
26:36You are radiant.
26:38Even among brides.
26:42It is the child within you, I think.
26:46A pearl.
26:49Like the pearl you wear on your finger.
26:53Who told you about the child?
26:55It is supposed to be a secret.
26:58Perhaps,
26:59as the body fades,
27:01the senses grow sharper.
27:05I have a gift for your infant.
27:09You must not leave without it.
27:12A teddy bear?
27:21Oh,
27:24Sister Monica Joan.
27:25Your child is a child of this century.
27:30It has both your features in its face.
27:35And I delight in it.
27:41And when?
27:42What does she used to tie to the taxi?
27:44The trouble is,
27:45there is no taxi.
27:46I booked it in advance,
27:47and there's no sign of it.
27:59Fred.
28:00Fred.
28:00He's got to be proud.
28:05What's this, Fred?
28:06We thought you should have something special.

37:52Amen
37:54Amen
38:03She really has laid down everything she wanted
38:07And in considerable detail
38:09Even that she wants to be wheeled to the church on a costumunger's cart
38:14A proper poplar funeral
38:17We will do everything she asks
38:20Meanwhile, Mr Mollocks
38:21I believe you became a grandfather last night
38:24I did
38:26I did
38:28Don't go
38:34I'll have to sign the certificate
38:36But you can do the checks
38:41Torch and stethoscope
38:44That's all you need
38:49Heartbeat first
38:51Just as if she was still with us
39:04I feel as though I should be talking to her
39:08I always think that
39:13It's okay, sister
39:17You're in good hands
39:30Geoffrey
39:32It's time for me to go
39:35Where?
39:36Back to the order
39:38I was always going to have to choose
39:40And you don't want to choose this?
39:43I left because I wanted a child
39:47This
39:49Isn't a life that could give me that
39:50I could find you someone who can
39:52There are hordes of suitable men out there
39:55They come charging down the thoroughfares of London like the Hun
39:57And I'm a dab hand with a shark net
40:00And with a poison dart and a blowpipe
40:03Geoffrey
40:05This isn't to do with you
40:08I've been beaten by my own biology
40:12And I belong in the order
40:15I earn that life
40:18If I go back
40:21I can hold babies every day
40:23I love them
40:26Every day
40:28And that won't hurt you?
40:31Not now
40:34Because I know the things I dreamed of
40:38Weren't meant for me
40:50What does a poor bear do?
40:53Well
40:54He's one of the people
40:56Who helped to carry the coffin
40:58Into the church
41:00It's considered to be an honour
41:03Especially if the person that died
41:04Ask for you
41:05Who else did she ask?
41:08Fred, of course
41:09And Dr. Turner
41:11And Timothy
41:12And Cyril
41:13And Geoffrey
41:15And she put Miss Higgins' Harry down
41:18As a reserve
41:19All the proper men
41:21Yes
41:23Because you're a proper man too
41:26I will do it
41:27And I will be proud
41:32Beryl, you know
41:33I'll walk you all the way to the front door
41:35If you want me to
41:37No
41:38You'd best not
41:40I need to say goodbye to Beryl too
41:44Maybe it's best if I leave her here
41:47With me
41:49She'll always be with you
41:51And whenever there's
41:53And whenever there's
41:54Chotney to be made
41:56Costumes cobbled together
41:58Or
42:00Happy family times to be had again in the convent parlour
42:04Sister Veronica
42:05Will always be so pleased to see you
42:09And there will be happy family times, won't there?
42:11Yes
42:15Don't disappear
42:32I'm not scared of new beginnings, sister
42:35I've seen too many babies being born
42:38And you will wait
42:39Until we know exactly where we're going?
42:42We had a long conversation about waiting once
42:44In the wreckage of a train
42:49Waiting is what we do
42:51Yes
42:53We'll do this together
42:58And with that
42:59I suppose I ought to pray
43:01I have always left that to the experts
43:09Do you have a moment, Nurse Green?
43:11I'm having to start
43:13The paperwork to transfer
43:15All of our expectant mother's notes
43:18It's a pleasure to postpone it
43:20I applied for an acting sister's job
43:22At St Cuthbert's
43:23And they've asked me to go for an interview
43:26Oh, lass
43:27Well done
43:29But
43:30It's on the day of the funeral
43:33Oh
43:40If you do the interview at the appointed time
43:43You should get to the church before the end
43:46But
43:46You don't think that would be disrespectful?
43:51The reverse
43:53We are burying a woman whose whole life
43:56Was defined by her profession
43:59She's probably up there now
44:02Putting a word in for you
44:08We are all facing loss
44:10And we are facing change
44:13The death of our sister
44:15And the alteration of our practice
44:16Are not linked
44:18But the sadness feels the same
44:20Because it is time itself
44:21That has
44:23Brought both these things about
44:25I notice you say
44:28Alteration, Sister Julianne
44:30And not closure
44:32Sister Veronica
44:33Sister Catherine and I
44:35Have decided that
44:36Ninata's house will become a house
44:38Of prayer
44:41And of charity
44:42Whilst we discern our next steps
44:44Can you say what sort of steps
44:46You might be considering?
44:48As we've already discussed with Dr. Turner
44:50There are three potential new medical missions
44:55All of which would involve
44:57At least a year abroad
44:58One of them would be
45:00In the Gilbert and Ellis Islands
45:02One of them would be
45:03In British Columbia
45:04And one would be
45:05In a remote part of Australia
45:09We ask for your prayers
45:10And
45:12And your patience
45:14And that as many of you
45:15As are able
45:17Stay with us
45:18On this journey
45:21All will be well
45:23I promise you
45:26Before the cortege
45:28Moves on to the church
45:30Sister Julianne
45:32Will read a short verse
45:34At the request of the lady
45:37We are honouring today
45:41The poem is called
45:42The Old Astronomer
45:44Talks to His Pupil
45:48Though my soul
45:50May set in darkness
45:52It will rise
45:54In perfect light
45:57I have loved the stars
45:58Too fondly
46:01To be fearful
46:02Of the night
46:15Thank you, gentlemen
46:31Nurse Highland
46:32Sister Marcus
46:34Has provided glowing references
46:36For your recent spell on our wards
46:38But you also have
46:40Excellent testimonials
46:42From your district work
46:44Why do you want to return
46:45To a hospital environment
46:47That's not an easy question
46:49To answer, Matron
46:50Because it presupposes
46:52That my own enjoyment
46:53Is the thing that matters
46:56What matters most
46:57Is the patient
46:58The person who needs my care
47:00Indeed
47:00And I feel that
47:01Going forward
47:02I can give the best of myself
47:04To them
47:05In a place that is
47:06Controlled
47:06And orderly
47:08And concerned
47:09With delivering excellence
47:10And you don't feel
47:11That you can do that
47:12On the district
47:13Things will improve
47:14I'm sure
47:15But not at the present time
47:20Step
47:23Step
47:26Step
47:27Step
47:29Step
47:30Step
47:30Thank you, gentlemen
47:32Do you see the body
47:34Of our sister Monica
47:35Joanne with confidence
47:36In God
47:36Who raised the Lord Jesus
47:37From the dead
47:49Abide with me
47:52Lost was even tied
48:00The darkest deepens
48:05Lord with me
48:12The darkest deepens
48:13When all the hell
48:16Of us will act on God's feet
48:25Help, mother, help, blessed
48:29Home of mine
48:39Having brought so many new lives
48:42Into the world
48:44Sister Monica Joan
48:46Has gone on to a new
48:47Eternal existence
48:49Of her own
48:52Words about her time on earth
48:54Seem so redundant
48:56And so small
49:00Will we ever see her like again
49:03I cannot say
49:06But I can say this
49:09She was unique
49:12And yet
49:13What we feel
49:14As we let her go
49:16Is universal
49:21Because we have lost her
49:25Because we have lost her
49:26We have lost her
49:29And today as we gather round
49:32The emptiness
49:33That she has left behind
49:36That space becomes
49:38Not a void
49:39But a vessel
49:42Filled with love
49:45For her
49:46For her
49:47And from her
49:48From ourselves
49:50And for each other
49:53We may not know what the future holds
49:57But we can all say
49:58Our lives contained her
50:03And that binds us
50:05For eternity
50:43To be continued
51:16I've been trying Victoria out since this morning.
51:21Oh, I like it.
51:23Yeah.
51:32Perfect.
51:37Rob.
51:38Epitome of authority and poise.
51:40Do turn around so I can see the back.
51:43You don't need to see the back, Mr. Scarisbrick.
51:47Because the back has nothing at all to do with what I'm about to tell you.
51:50Well, I'm not expecting any discussion of my offer given your unfortunate family situation.
51:55My unfortunate family situation actually has had unexpected repercussions.
52:00My husband now controls Aylward Estates, and I've been given a seat on the board.
52:04So you're interested in buying a share of the clinic?
52:08I'm not interested in 40%.
52:1155 would be better.
52:13That way there's no confusion.
52:15We all know who's in charge.
52:30Is that Nurse Rosalyn Robinson?
52:32Because she is looking at Sister Joyce Highland.
52:35You got the chance!
52:43Ah, there she is.
52:45You all ready for the big event?
52:46I have an uncomfortably full bladder.
52:49But I believe you're all going to see something quite amazing.
52:53It is quite space age.
53:02I'm sorry they won't let you in.
53:06Now, what you are about to witness is a live examination of the gravid uterus using a method known as
53:14B-Mode ultrasonography.
53:16The transducer emits pulses of sound into the maternal abdomen, and the returning echoes are converted into an image in
53:26real time.
53:26No radiation, no needles, and no discomfort.
53:32Are you ready, Mother?
53:34Yes, Mr. Parry.
53:58I think an exhibition of photographs and a tea party is a delightful way to conclude the old era.
54:07Dr. Turner is greatly relieved that you're staying on as his district nurse.
54:12I think he was afraid that you might retire.
54:15Well, I'm already eligible for my pension, so I could.
54:18But why would I want to?
54:20I love my work.
54:22To give it up would be like resigning from myself.
54:24Likewise.
54:27Look, I suppose one day even dear Dr. Turner won't need us anymore.
54:34But when that comes to pass, I'm inclined to think you and I might have some new adventures.
54:41Dare I ask what you have in mind?
54:45I thought we could set up a detective agency.
54:50I could investigate people via public records and you could use your advanced motorist's credentials to trail them or even
55:03give chase.
55:09Are you wrong?
55:11What are we going to call ourselves?
55:13I think we should play on our spinsterly status, perhaps.
55:18The Miss Adventures Agency?
55:21Miss Alliance?
55:23Yeah.
55:24Misdemeanours!
55:27I've seen cards in phone boxes from someone called Misdemeanours.
55:32Oh, sorry.
55:33Here we go.
55:35That's the Worcester sauce.
55:37Well, I think how soon we run out of time.
55:45Looking back at what I've done in my time.
55:51My accomplishments are few.
55:57But for my days of loving you.
56:03If I've never gone too far in this world.
56:11When I might have made my mark in this world.
56:17I had better things to do.
56:23I had better things to do.
56:25I had my days of loving you.
56:30Let the others go their way.
56:37Seeking more and more.
56:43Give me just one yesterday.
56:50Filled with love like yours.
56:56I have nothing to regret in this life.
57:03I've had all worries to get in this life.
57:10Once I lived a dream come true.
57:16I had my days of loving you.
57:27There have always been goodbyes at Nonada's house.
57:32And there have always been endings.
57:35Year after year there have always been some drawing down of blinds.
57:42Some closing of doors.
57:44Some waving away of voyages and exiles.
57:50We have grieved because there was no love without pain.
57:55And we survived because the love was always greater.
58:04There will always be another chapter and more change.
58:10The world is forever evolving.
58:13And the winds are sometimes cold.
58:16But it is what we carry safe within us that will stay the same.
58:25Hope is the pearl inside the oyster.
58:29The seed in its sacred husk.
58:32Hidden in the sweet dark earth until the spring comes.
58:37Being loved with wolves.
58:52I'm with my hands.
58:57You're the highest pulse.
58:58You're the highest pulse.
58:59I'm with our hearts.
59:03You're the highest pulse.
59:05You're the highest pulse.
59:06You're the highest pulse.
