Short filmTranscript
00:01Sometimes our new beginnings have been yearned for.
00:06We have chosen them.
00:09Others lie in wait and burst upon us like bad weather,
00:14or unwelcome beasts.
00:18Little wonder that we cling to what is certain.
00:23Home, the hearth, the family,
00:26mourn or found places where no storms land
00:31and we think no winds can blow.
00:36What's happening with the father in all this?
00:39Is there any prospect in marriage?
00:41I've asked her and she wouldn't answer.
00:42How could you be so stupid, Belinda?
00:46You wear the world at your feet.
00:49University.
00:50Once you gave up on the idea of nursing,
00:53you were going to be a history teacher.
00:54I can still be a history teacher.
00:57Who's going to give you a job?
00:58You'll be an unmarried mother.
01:00Rhoda, the world's changing.
01:02Not fast enough.
01:04People keep saying the world's changing for people like Susan
01:07and I don't see any evidence of it.
01:08This isn't about Susan.
01:10Mum.
01:14Lady Aylward, would you consider entering into partnership with me?
01:19Partnership?
01:21I intend to semi-retire and I thought that 40% ownership of the Lady Emily might appeal,
01:28with the backing of the Aylward Estate, of course.
01:31I'm afraid I don't have access to the Aylward Estate capital, Mr. Scarrisbrick,
01:35and neither does my husband.
01:37Everything is under the control of my mother-in-law, Lavinia.
01:40Ah, of course, dear, difficult Lavinia.
01:43I remember her from our dancing days.
01:46Nevertheless, I would like you to at least consider the offer.
01:51Perhaps you could put your wiles to work.
01:56Hey, look, you've got to calm down, all right?
01:59And you've got to sit down, and then we can work things out.
02:03Look, if there is one thing that we're really good at as a family,
02:05it is working our problem.
02:07I didn't do this as part of the family, Dad.
02:09I did it on my own.
02:10And you're fun, did you?
02:11It was fantastic.
02:13While it lasted.
02:22This isn't all for them.
02:25Eh?
02:26How beautiful.
02:34Oh, peril!
02:37I thought we had mice, which aren't unheard of even in the best managed mansion flats.
02:41I was feeling the heat.
02:42I think it's that continental quilt.
02:45I don't think they'll catch on over here.
02:48The winters aren't cold enough.
02:49I'll swap you with this candlewick.
02:51Tomorrow.
03:00Sister, if you don't want to take the diuretics anymore,
03:04I accept that.
03:06You're not going to dissuade me?
03:09No.
03:12I tried to.
03:14Out of love.
03:17As we discussed.
03:19And now I will stop.
03:21Out of respect.
03:30Good morning.
03:34Roslyn, I went on an early morning excursion to a number of news stations and bought bridal magazines in all
03:40of them.
03:41I've no time to get anything made.
03:42There are superb ready-to-wear options these days, and every boutique worth knowing will be listed in small ads.
03:47I've never even decided if I'm going to wear white.
03:49And the weather's going to be cold.
03:51It's a wedding dress.
03:52Why would you not want white?
03:54There are wonderful options in lace that would look divine with a long sleeve.
03:58Delicate, vaginal, and no one will see your goosebumps.
04:03I've just had two very interesting phone calls.
04:05First St Cusperts telling me that Mrs Rhoda Mollocks is pressing for an early discharge after a cholecystectomy.
04:12She's not going to be very well at all.
04:14Should I add her to the district nursing list?
04:16Thank you, Nurse Clifford.
04:17But then I had Mrs Mollocks ring to say that their elder daughter is expecting and in need of our
04:23attention.
04:24I'll put Mrs Turner on to this. She knows the family well.
04:29Nurse Crane, I'm afraid I'd need to speak to you about Sister Monica Joan.
04:35There isn't a GP on this earth that would force a determined woman of ninety-odd to take medication if
04:41she doesn't want to.
04:42All it will do is make her more unhappy.
04:44She's almost cheery this morning. If anything, you'd think she was on the mend.
04:49Well, don't bother her with any urine or blood tests for now.
04:53The symptoms will speak for themselves.
04:55Thank you, Doctor. I'll keep you informed as things unfold.
05:02Dr Turner, I have just received the most infuriating communication from Central Supplies asking you for the return of every
05:09item of Council-owned equipment in our possession.
05:12Now?
05:14Prior or immediately subsequent to the closure of your facility as appropriate.
05:19Well, the closure itself isn't appropriate.
05:22And every bed, kidney bowl and set of clamps is staying on these premises until the last mother and baby
05:28go out of those doors.
05:29You've included this entirely spurious list of items headed assumed inventory.
05:35It will be consigned to the incinerator and I shall prepare an audit of our own.
05:39The incubator never belonged to Central Supplies.
05:42It was paid for by the people of Poplar because the Council wouldn't provide the funds.
05:48They are not having it.
05:50And I'm still a GP.
05:52Send in my next patient.
05:57I don't think your dates are quite right, Belinda. You feel close to term to me.
06:03Does that mean I'm going to have it soon?
06:04Very possibly.
06:05She was here all through the summer holidays and as Rhoda keeps telling me there was nothing showing.
06:09Bernie, why don't you go to work until Rhoda arrives in the ambulance.
06:14Belinda and I can work through some tests and I'll make inquiries about home health.
06:19Mum will tell you she doesn't need one.
06:20And I'll tell her that without one she'll end up back in hospital.
06:24Don't worry. We'll soon get things organised for both of you.
06:30You are more than welcome. Mr Franklin will see you at four o'clock.
06:35Viola player with a wry neck, begging to be squeezed in.
06:39I have to say, I could fill your brother's diary twice over and there'd still be people weeping at the
06:44gates.
06:45I was thinking you might like to have a weekly clinic at the Lady Emily when I start as matron
06:49there.
06:49Have you told anyone at Ninata's house yet?
06:52That I'm moving.
06:54I'll speak to Sister Julia when she's back from the mother house.
06:57Are you afraid how she might react?
06:59I'm terrified.
07:00Not because she'll be angry, but because she'll be quite calm.
07:03Not because she'll be disappointed, but that she'll be accepting.
07:08But worst of all, I'm terrified she'll smile and wrap her arms around me and tell me it's all God's
07:16plan.
07:17What if it is God's plan?
07:19And I resent it.
07:21We've spent years and years and years trying to determine and do the best for the women of Poplar.
07:30But in the end, it all counts for nothing.
07:34Because some great imaginary being decided otherwise.
07:38Well, just because God is invisible doesn't make him imaginary.
07:41I'm sorry.
07:45Rhoda, I need to take your blood pressure.
07:47Then I want you upstairs and resting in bed.
07:50Just let us hear from the Thalidomide Society and the campaign.
07:54They need dealing with.
07:55And I need to talk to Belinda.
07:57Belinda?
07:58She's upstairs.
08:00I think she was feeling quite...
08:02anxious.
08:05Belinda?
08:09I need to say what all mums say, don't I?
08:14I need to say, you're not the first.
08:18And you won't be the last.
08:23It'll be alright, love.
08:26We've got three worse than this.
08:29I never got three worse than this.
08:34I wish to sit in the chair.
08:37And I find myself desirous of a pomegranate.
08:43That would be most unwise.
08:45Pomegranates are extremely high in potassium.
08:48Can I fetch you some other nice fruit from the market?
08:51I would like you to summon someone from this establishment.
08:58Albion and Sons is an Undertaker's.
09:01And I will have a pomegranate.
09:05I'll never finish with God.
09:07And I'll never question Him.
09:10It's only myself I'm confused about.
09:12And what I want.
09:14And whether it's right for me to want it.
09:17I know you want a child, Meryl.
09:20But is there more to it than that?
09:22I've wanted a child.
09:24So much.
09:26It filled my every aching moment.
09:30My every waking thought.
09:32But now...
09:35I've started my menopause.
09:40I've left it all too late.
09:48I loved Susan from the moment I saw her.
09:51So did I.
09:54I was scared.
09:56About what you'd think.
09:58You and Perry.
10:01Because I knew your lives had changed.
10:03I knew...
10:04We were all headed somewhere.
10:08That wasn't normal.
10:10Susan was normal.
10:11To us.
10:12Sometimes I only remembered she was different when I saw other people's faces.
10:16She made us more of a gang though, didn't she?
10:18Still does.
10:20Malick's is against the world.
10:23And you were never Jasper Linda after she came along.
10:27You were Susan's sister.
10:29I don't want you to think I'm not proud of that.
10:33But I had to look at everything.
10:35That way.
10:36And everybody looked at me that way.
10:37When I went to university.
10:39When I went to university.
10:40I wasn't Susan's sister.
10:42When I thought...
10:44I was wanted.
10:46I was special.
10:48I was just so...
10:50thrilled.
10:50I did stupid, stupid things.
10:53If that's because of anything that I did.
10:57Then I was stupid too.
11:03Dr. Turner.
11:04Philip Harry.
11:06That son of yours is shaping up quite nicely.
11:08We'll make an obstetrician of him yet.
11:10I'm still hoping to make him a GP.
11:12Later this month.
11:13We're trying out some new diagnostic technology.
11:15I thought you might send some patients my way.
11:17Of course.
11:18In return for a preview.
11:21Were you taken by surprise when I requested your attendance?
11:25We generally look after the deceased, Sister Monica John.
11:28But it seems to me that caring for the dying matters just as much.
11:33I do not fear death.
11:36I am however beset by all manner of opinions.
11:40About your funeral.
11:41There are rites and rituals that are prescribed.
11:45And I embrace them.
11:47But I find I cannot rest.
11:49Lest my farewell is not managed in the way it ought to be.
11:53If you explain to me...
11:55Why you think that is.
11:56I can help.
11:58By working out what you should do.
12:06Fred!
12:08Fred!
12:09What's the matter, Sister?
12:11Sister Monica Joan has asked for the wheelchair.
12:14Oh, blimey.
12:15Is it still in the shed?
12:19I've been using it to transport compost.
12:23I thought she'd approve of that.
12:30In the Nautist's house, midwife speaking.
12:32Sis, it's me.
12:33Um, Matthew's been trying to get hold of you.
12:35I'm on a house call, Geoffrey.
12:37What's the matter?
12:37It's your ma-in-law, the other Lady Aylward.
12:40Sis, she's had a massive heart attack.
12:42Matthew's already left for the airport.
12:44They quarreled too badly when she took over the company.
12:46He'll be desperate to see her.
12:48I'm afraid it's too late.
12:51Sometimes I think it's a market that has changed the lease.
12:55The produce always marked the changing of the seasons,
12:58even during times of war.
13:00I remember some winters, there was nothing on these vegetables
13:04except turnips and dried peas.
13:08All right, Sister.
13:09Fancy a few bananas on the house.
13:13My eyes are dimmer than once they were.
13:18It is Mr. Morris, is it not?
13:21Who wants to know?
13:22The old Bill?
13:25The sisters brought all of our kids into the world,
13:28but you delivered the first one and the last.
13:33Which was a faultling breach.
13:36I recall that now.
13:38Well, Mildred said afterwards,
13:39don't you ever charge her for bananas again?
13:43How about a few crescents, Sister?
13:48I don't deserve such generosity.
13:51I'd let them be the judge of that.
14:00The flags beneath these wheels are worn quite smooth.
14:07One thinks about the feet that made them so.
14:10The brides.
14:14The mothers of a thousand infants brought to be baptized.
14:22The mourners.
14:26I see a few churches in my line of work.
14:30I always reckon this one is the best.
14:35Do you ever pray, Mr. Mollocks?
14:40I have felt inclination once or twice.
14:47I will be buried at the mother house.
14:52But I want my requiem to take place here.
14:58I am not only leaving this earth, Mr. Mollocks.
15:01I am leaving Poplar.
15:04And it is my home.
15:10Has there ever been a greater indicator
15:12of a shotgun wedding status
15:14than a hastily buttercreamed vanilla sponge?
15:18Pick your nozzle.
15:20I'll do the small rosettes.
15:21You can do the large ones.
15:23I do so wish you were able to come.
15:25I always loved to party.
15:27Almost more than anything.
15:29When I was a nun, I was always sat on the sidelines.
15:32Now not a nun.
15:34However temporarily.
15:36I'm banished.
15:38I could give a good account of myself
15:40in the Foxtrot once upon a time.
15:42Oh, I adore a Foxtrot.
15:44I also know of a lovely lounge bar
15:47where they play all the right tunes
15:49and serve resplendent cocktails.
15:51I'll take you there if you like.
15:53I'd like to be anywhere where I'm not on the fringes.
15:58This campaign is making you ill.
16:00You've got to give it to Ezra.
16:02Where's that going to get anyone?
16:03Susan is never, ever going to be independent.
16:06I think about that every day.
16:08What are you going to be if you rip your stitches out?
16:09Well, what are you doing?
16:10She want me to carry you up?
16:12Yes, so I can't hear them.
16:14I think they could be quite well done, you.
16:36For a moment, I thought she was Sister Maud.
16:41I think I've heard of Sister Maud.
16:44But she passed away long before my time.
16:47She was the infomerian.
16:51And she loved her deathbed more than any birthing chamber.
16:57The end of life was always more compelling to her
17:02than its commencement.
17:06Sometimes I saw her weep.
17:10She wept when she died.
17:13But religious are supposed to welcome the end when it is offered to us.
17:21I think it is offered to me now.
17:28No, Sister.
17:30You were the one who foretold it.
17:33What do you mean?
17:34At Christmas, when we saw another pass through the veil
17:38from this world to the next.
17:44I can't recall his name, but his eyes were bright.
17:50Like Robins.
17:53Mr. Fisher.
17:57He was met by all who loved him.
18:02And you said the sisters would come for me.
18:07When you die?
18:10I saw Sister Maud as clearly as I see you now.
18:19And I know it has become.
18:27I'm not convinced it's imminent.
18:30But she's asked to see the priest.
18:32I will come back tomorrow.
18:34I was already preparing to leave.
18:36As there have been discussions.
18:38And a vote.
18:39And I have news to impart.
18:42Will you impart it when you get home?
18:43Yes.
18:45Please.
18:46Just stay with our sister now.
18:48I won't leave her for a moment.
18:52Oh, come on, lass.
18:54We're in this together.
18:57There's going to be a wedding.
19:00That's life, though, isn't it?
19:02And I didn't dare tell Sister Julienne the other thing she asked for.
19:09So, a little word told us you fancy the gin and tonic.
19:13You'd better drink it because we had to go to the off-licensed specialty.
19:17I have heard the beverage mentioned so often in my lifetime.
19:22And always in such approving terms.
19:26I thought it a shame.
19:28I was so ignorant.
19:30Eh?
19:31Will you all feel like keeping your liquids up?
19:33Go on.
19:44I declare myself...
19:47enamored.
19:56I think the choice of soft drinks is very sensible the night before a wedding.
20:02I'm looking forward to the trifle.
20:04I love trifle.
20:05Phyllis had to put it back in the fridge.
20:07The custard hasn't set yet.
20:09Are you serving the bride breakfast in bed in the morning, Millicent?
20:12I most certainly am.
20:14I've also thought of an additional embellishment.
20:21Welcome back, sister!
20:24Welcome back, sister!
20:33Hello!
20:35Hello!
20:37Hello!
20:40I couldn't get to sleep last night.
20:41All I wanted was for it to be the morning.
20:43Honey, you forgot your shoes and your hair dryer.
20:46Hi, Brad Paul.
20:51Let me put some peppermints on the tray.
21:03Saltfish, ackee, and fried dumpling.
21:06You need a proper breakfast inside you today of all days.
21:10Thank you for being my witness, Mrs. Wallace.
21:13I am not your witness.
21:14God is your witness.
21:17Even if the wedding is in a registry office.
21:21Is that shirt ready, Mrs. Buckle?
21:24Well, I'm not satisfied with the right handcuff.
21:26Oh, by the way, Cyril,
21:28Fred wondered which firm you booked your taxes with.
21:31Mozzie's Mortars.
21:33Just in case there's any problems.
21:38Thank you for your patience, ladies.
21:40May I present the bride.
21:42To the bride.
21:47C number one.
21:48The Red Bee!
22:12Father Hilary is hearing her confession.
22:21Will you please repeat after me?
22:24I do solemnly declare that I know not of any lawful impediment
22:29why I, Rosalind Ann Clifford.
22:33I do solemnly declare that I know not of any lawful impediment
22:38why I...
22:42Rosalind Ann Clifford.
22:48May not be joined in matrimony to thee, Cyril Alphonse Robinson.
22:54May not be joined in matrimony to thee, Cyril Alphonse Robinson.
23:04Through this holy anointing, may the Lord in his love and mercy help you with the grace of the Holy
23:09Spirit.
23:11May the Lord, who frees you from sin, save you, and raise you up.
23:19Amen.
23:23I marry you with this ring, because you are more precious to me than all the gold the world contains.
23:34And I marry you with this ring, because a circle is eternal, and our love will never end.
23:47Receive, sister, this food for thy journey, the body of our Lord Jesus Christ.
23:53May he preserve thee from the malicious enemy, and bring thee to everlasting life.
23:59Amen.
24:00Amen.
24:02Amen.
24:05Amen.
24:09Amen.
24:11Amen.
24:11Amen.
24:11Amen.
24:12Amen.
24:12Amen.
24:13Amen.
24:14Amen.
24:15Amen.
24:38It is quite wonderfully made
24:42When I made my vows to Christ
24:44We were told
24:46A single lily must suffice
24:50I should have liked her better
24:54You are radiant
24:56Even among brides
25:00It is the child within you, I think
25:04A pearl
25:07Like the pearl you wear on your finger
25:11Who told you about the child?
25:12It is supposed to be a secret
25:14Perhaps as the body fades
25:17The senses grow sharper
25:22I have a gift for your infant
25:25You must not leave without it
25:27A teddy bear?
25:37Paul
25:39Sister Monica Joan
25:41Your child is a child of this century
25:45It has both your features in its face
25:50And I delighted it
25:53I win
25:57Put the shoes to tie to the taxi
25:59The trouble is there is no taxi
26:00I booked it in advance and there's no sign of it
26:19What's this Fred?
26:20We thought you should have something special
26:43Hello love
26:44This is Mrs Mullocks
26:45Could you get your mum
26:47And tell her it's about Belinda?
26:54Her hands started to go cold
27:02I'll call Dr Turner
27:03He has to be kept informed
27:11Dad
27:13I keep thinking about Susan
27:16And her legs and her arms
27:20I mean the artificial ones
27:22They just don't work
27:25She has to be pushed and parked
27:28Like luggage or something
27:30There's no alternative Perry
27:31We had a talk in college today
27:33About electric wheelchairs
27:36Electric like you plug it in?
27:37No
27:39They have a built in 100 watt motor
27:41And rear wheel drive
27:44Why don't you tell the society?
27:46Maybe they can fix it for Susan to try one
27:48Do you reckon she could steer an electric one herself?
27:52We'd have to give it a go
27:54Dad
27:55She needs us to chase everything that's new
28:00Good girl Belinda
28:01Good girl
28:03This one will soon be over
28:05They just keep coming though
28:07That's the nature of childbirth love
28:11Shall I pop and get you some more painkillers?
28:14In a minute
28:15Maybe
28:16I feel so strange with all those empty beds
28:20You're our only patient Belinda
28:22And the delivery room's all set up
28:24For when you're ready to move through
28:25Mrs. Turner was saying
28:27This might be the last baby ever born here
28:31You're lucky to get in before it closes down
28:48Don't I get a beer?
28:49You've got crisps
28:51We need you to listen to our presentation
28:53About why we should get a colour television
28:55One
28:56Wildlife programmes are very educational
28:58And much more educational in colour
29:00Two
29:01If Christopher comes back from Hong Kong
29:03He'll be able to watch Trump telling in colour
29:05Three
29:06Timothy will come home
29:07And watch things like the old grey whistle test
29:09Which surprisingly enough
29:11Is in colour
29:11Hang on
29:12Hang on
29:13Why are you doing this when your mother's out?
29:16It's because she always says you're the soft touch
29:17She isn't
29:20Fly me to the moon
29:23Let me play among the stars
29:27Let me see what spring's like on
29:32Jupiter and Mars
29:35In other words
29:37Hold my hand
29:43In other words
29:46Baby kiss me
29:48You look simply ravishing
29:51And rather appropriately
29:54This cocktail comprising gin, lemon juice
29:57And creme de peche
29:58Is known as perfect lady
30:05I might yet find out what a hangover is like
30:11Philip
30:16How lovely to see you, Geoffrey
30:18Is Alistair with you?
30:20Oh, propping up the bar as usual
30:21Flatly refuses to join me on the dance floor
30:24I do so envy you
30:25Your delightful partner
30:27Oh, this is my darling friend
30:29Beryl
30:29Beryl, may I present
30:31Philip Harry
30:32How lovely to meet you

31:18Oh, please
31:19What, please?
31:20Can't you just pull it out?
31:22It's just she seems to go limp
31:23Every time she has a pain
31:25You've got to push, love
31:27Push
31:28Good to see
31:48That's it, Belinda
31:50Push into your bottom again
31:51Like you did last time

38:39especially if the person had died
38:41to ask for you
38:42who else did she ask
38:44fred of course
38:46and dr turner and timothy

39:45yes
39:49don't disappear
40:04i'm not scared of new beginnings sister
40:08i've seen too many babies being born
40:10and you will wait
40:11until we know exactly where we're going
40:13we had a long conversation about waiting once
40:16in the wreckage of a train
40:20waiting is what we do
40:22yes
40:24we'll do this together
40:29and with that i suppose i ought to pray
40:32i have always left that to the experts
40:40do you have a moment nurse green
40:42i'm having to start the paperwork to transfer all of our expectant mother's notes
40:49it's a pleasure to postpone it
40:51i applied for an acting sisters job at St. Cuthbert's and they've asked me to go for an interview
40:56oh glass
40:57well done
40:59but
41:00it's on the day of the funeral
41:03oh
41:09if you do the interview at the appointed time
41:12you should get to the church before the end
41:15but
41:15you don't think that would be disrespectful
41:20reverse
41:22we are burying a woman whose whole life was defined by her profession
41:29she's probably up there now putting a word in for you
41:32no
41:37we are all facing loss
41:38and we are facing change
41:41the death of our sister and the alteration of our practice are not linked
41:46but the sadness feels the same because it is time itself that has
41:51brought both these things about
41:52i notice you say alteration sister julienne
41:56and not closure
41:59sister veronica
42:00sister catherine and i have decided that nanata's house will become a house
42:05of prayer
42:07and of charity
42:08whilst we discern our next steps
42:11can you say what sort of steps you might be considering
42:14as we've already discussed with dr turner there are three potential new medical missions
42:21all of which would involve
42:23at least a year abroad
42:24one of them would be in the gilbert and ellis islands
42:27one of them would be in british columbia
42:29and one would be in a remote part of australia
42:34we ask for your prayers
42:36and
42:37and your patience
42:39and that as many of you as are able
42:41stay with us
42:43on this journey
42:45all will be well
42:48i promise you
42:51before the cortege
42:52moves on to the church
42:54sister julienne will read a short verse
42:58at the request of the lady
43:01we are honouring today
43:04the poem is called
43:06the old astronomer talks to his pupil
43:11though my soul
43:13may set in darkness
43:15it will rise in perfect light
43:19i have loved the stars too fondly
43:23to be fearful of the night
43:37thank you gentlemen
43:52nurse highland
43:54sister marcus has provided glowing references for your recent spell on our wards
43:59but you also have excellent testimonials from your district work
44:04why do you want to return to a hospital environment
44:08that's not an easy question to answer matron
44:10because it presupposes that my own enjoyment is the thing that matters
44:16what matters most is the patient
44:17the person who needs my care
44:19indeed
44:20and i feel that going forward
44:22i can give the best of myself to them
44:24in a place that is controlled
44:26and orderly
44:27and concerned with delivering excellence
44:29and you don't feel that you can do that on the district
44:32things will improve i'm sure
44:34but not at the present time
44:39step
44:42step
44:45step
44:46step
44:47step
44:49thank you gentlemen
44:51do you see the body of our sister monica joan with confidence in god
44:54who raised the lord jesus from the dead
45:07you
45:12to her
45:16above
45:18moment
45:54Having brought so many new lives into the world,
45:59Sister Monica Joan has gone on to a new, eternal existence of her own.
46:07Words about her time on earth seem so redundant and so small.
46:14Will we ever see her like again? I cannot say.
46:20But I can say this, she was unique and yet what we feel as we let her go is universal.
46:34Because we have lost her.
46:38We have lost her.
46:42And today as we gather round the emptiness that she has left behind, that space becomes not a void, but
46:53a vessel filled with love for her and from her, from ourselves and for each other.
47:05We may not know what the future holds, but we can all say our lives contained her.
47:14And that binds us for eternity.
47:24We may not know what the future holds.
47:36We may not know what the future holds.
47:43We may not know what the future holds.
47:47We may not know what the future holds.
47:56We may not know what the future holds.
48:10We may not know what the future holds.
48:24I've been trying Victoria out since this morning.
48:28Oh, I like it.
48:30Yeah.
48:38Perfect.
48:45Bravo, epitome of authority and poise.
48:47Turn around so I can see the back.
48:50You don't need to see the back, Mr. Scarisbrick.
48:53Because the back has nothing at all to do with what I'm about to tell you.
48:56Well, I'm not expecting any discussion of my offer given your unfortunate family situation.
49:01My unfortunate family situation actually has had unexpected repercussions.
49:05My husband now controls Aylward Estates, and I've been given a seat on the board.
49:10So you're interested in buying a share of the clinic?
49:14I'm not interested in 40%.
49:1655 would be better.
49:18That way there's no confusion.
49:20We all know who's in charge.
49:34Is that Nurse Rosalyn Robinson?
49:36Of course she is looking at Sister Joyce Highland.
49:39Have you got the chance?
49:46Ah, there she is.
49:48You're all ready for the big event.
49:49I have an uncomfortably full bladder.
49:52But I believe you are going to see something quite amazing.
49:56It is quite space age.
50:05I'm sorry they won't let you in.
50:09Now, what you are about to witness is a live examination of the graviduterus
50:14using a method known as B-mode ultrasonography.
50:17The transducer emits pulses of sound into the maternal abdomen,
50:23and the returning echoes are converted into an image in real time.
50:28No radiation, no needles, and no discomfort.
50:33Are you ready, Mother?
50:35Yes, Mr. Perry.
50:57I think an exhibition of photographs and a tea party is a delightful way to conclude the old era.
51:06Dr. Turner is greatly relieved that you're staying on as his district nurse.
51:11I think he was afraid that you might retire.
51:14Well, I'm already eligible for my pension, so I could.
51:17But why would I want to?
51:19I love my work.
51:20To give it up would be like resigning from myself.
51:24Likewise.
51:26Look, I suppose one day even dear Dr. Turner won't need us anymore.
51:32But when that comes to pass, I'm inclined to think you and I might have some new adventures.
51:39Dare I ask what you have in mind?
51:42I thought we could set up a detective agency.
51:47I could investigate people via public records,
51:52and you could use your advanced motorist's credentials to trail them,
51:59or even give chase.
52:05But you're wrong.
52:07What are we going to call ourselves?
52:09I think we should play on our spinsterly status, perhaps.
52:13Um, the Miss Adventures Agency?
52:17Miss Alliance?
52:19Yeah.
52:20Misdemeanors!
52:22I've seen cards in phone boxes from someone called Misdemeanors.
52:31That's the Worcester sauce.
52:33Well, I think how soon we run out of time
52:39Looking back at what I've done in my time
52:46My accomplishments with you
52:51But for my days of loving you
52:57If I've never gone too far in this world
53:04When I might have made my mark in the square
53:11I had better things to do
53:16I had my days of loving you
53:23Let the others go their way
53:29Seeking more and more
53:35Give me just one yesterday
53:42Filled with love like yours
53:47I have nothing to regret in this life
53:54I have all worries to get in this life
54:00Once I lived a dream come true
54:06I have my days of loving you
54:16There have always been goodbyes
54:24Year after year
54:27There have always been some drawing down of blinds
54:31Some closing of doors
54:33Some waving away of voyages and exiles
54:38We have grieved because there was no love without pain
54:43And we survived because the love was always greater
54:52There will always be another chapter
54:55And more change
54:57The world is forever evolving
55:00And the winds are sometimes cold
55:03But it is what we carry safe within us
55:09That will stay the same
55:12Hope is the pearl inside the oyster
55:15The seed in its sacred husk
55:18Hidden in the sweet dark earth
55:21Until the spring comes
55:24The seed in its sacred husk
