(BICYCLE BELL RINGING)

-(PEOPLE TALKING INDISTINCTLY)
-WOMAN: Morning!

-Hello, Nurse Lee.
-Morning!

MATURE JENNY:
Before I came to Poplar,
I'd been sheltered.

I was shy, shielded
from life's more
unsavoury facts.

I'd kept my guard up,
kept my head down,

kept my distance from
the world and
believed myself content.

What? Getting
a good look, are you?

Be nice. You might well
be seeing a lot more of me.

MATURE JENNY:
Life in the East End had
begun to make its mark.

I was growing bolder.

But there was still
a great deal I was
keeping in reserve.

JULIENNE:
Oh, Nurse Lee,
excellent.

I'm sure you wanted a rest
after the night you've had,
but I'm afraid you're needed.

The patient is Joe Collett.

He suffers with
ulcers on his legs

and requires his
dressings to be changed
three times a week.

Ulcers?

I know you weren't on
the district nursing rota
for several weeks,

but numbers at
Nonnatus are limited,

and the needs of our community
are only ever expanding, so...

Of course.

Enjoy yourself.

He is an interesting old man,
I have found.

Morning, Officers.

-Good morning, Sister.
-Oh!

I am so, so sorry.

No harm done.

You're something of a menace
on that thing.

I know.

Uh, Constable Noakes
is the, um,

the officer I managed
to crash into
a few weeks ago.

If it's any consolation,
she's a menace no matter
how she conveys herself.

Well, like I say,
no harm done at all.

Although maybe it'd be
best if you had hit me.

I wouldn't say no to
more of that whisky
you brought over.

I'm sure it can be arranged.
The whisky,

not deliberately levelling you
with my bicycle.

-You look well.
-And you.

Very well.

As do you.

-(CLEARS THROAT)
-Well...

I'd best be getting on.

Uphold the law, good sir.

Quite.

Chummy! Why on earth
did I say that?

At times like this,
I'm more grateful than
ever that I took vows.

Now come along.

Oh!

I've, uh... I've got
the boiling water ready.

(JOE GRUNTS)

(GRUNTS)

Um...

Where can I lay out
my instruments?

Oh, just move
that out of the way.

I'm going to clean
the wounds now.
It may sting, Mr Collett.

Joe. Joe will do fine. Yeah.

(SIGHS)

Would you... Would you
like a cup of tea?

I'm fine, thank you.

Oh, it's no bother.

It won't take but a minute.

-There.
-Oh, um...

What... What's wrong?

I'd actually, uh,
prefer a cold drink,
if you had one.

Then that's what
you shall have,
my maiden.

Oh, no, I can't drink on duty.

I meant orange squash
or something.

Oh.

Well, I'm sorry.
I don't have anything else.

It doesn't matter.

I got them from gun wounds
during the war.

The Boer War,
this was.

I thought you
must be a soldier.

JOE: (CHUCKLES) A soldier!

Hardly.

I was 17.

No older than you.

You're flattering me,
Mr Collett.

Yes. I am. Is it working?

Absolutely!

Over here.

Beautiful bunch, eh?

-Lovely.
-Yeah.

My two sons, they, uh,
joined the Great War

and they never came home.

And my Sally... Yeah.

A firebomb during the Blitz.

-I'm sorry.
-Don't be.

I loved them.

They loved me.

(SIGHS)

There. All done.

Now, are you sure
I can't offer you a drink?

I'm quite all right, really.

Yes, of course, uh,

you have a great
deal to do, no doubt.

I have the
evening off tonight.

I could come back then
and share a glass with you?

If you wanted that, I mean.

Well, that would be a delight,
my maiden.

A thousand welcomes.

(BABY COOS)

Pregnant, eh?

We're having a baby, you know.
Me and my wife.

Just found out today.

I'm going to be a dad.

-Hush, Ted.
-Sorry, love.

Got no chance now, have I?

Not now, it's two against one.

Mrs Lawson?

That's us. Ted and Winnie.

I'm sorry.
We don't allow men back here.

I can't stay with her?

I'm sorry, Mr Lawson.

I'll be right here, love,
if you need me. Right here.

We went to the doctor's
this morning.

I thought Win
was ill, didn't I?

Lost my first wife to cancer,
so I was thinking the worst.

She's been so tired.

And there it is. Pregnant.

Thirty six centimetres
fundal height.

That means
you're 36 weeks along.
Due in a month.

That soon?

Your husband said
you only found out today?

I knew I was getting bigger.

So did Ted, though, bless him,
he never said nothing.

I thought maybe I was
going through the
change or I don't know.

Maybe I just didn't
want to think I could
be in the family way again.

Not now.

Mrs Lawson,
are you all right?

'Course.

Just a bit of a shock.

I'm 41. I'm too old.

All that all over again.

It's just a bit of a shock.

Well...

I was afraid
you wouldn't come.

-Here you are.
-Mmm.

How are your legs?

Oh, very comfortable,
thanks to you.

-Do you mind?
-Not at all.

This is luxury, isn't it?

Ah, but it is.

When I was young, I would...
I'd never have dreamed
of such luxury.

A warm bed at night.
Enough food to eat.

(CHUCKLES) Oh.

My Sally loved it here.

Twice in one day,
I know. Probably the
last thing you want.

But I thought I should
drop round
your delivery pack.

Come in.

Do you have any
questions or...

No, you've been
kind enough as it is,
bringing this over.

Now, Ted, I'm sure
he'd be full of questions.

Fortunately
for you, he's out.

He seems very excited.

It's his first.

You must think
we make quite the pair.

Not at all.

My first husband walked out
one day without a word,
never came back.

How awful.

With three children
to look out for,
I got a job in a paper shop.

Ted used to come in to
that shop every day and just
stare at this bar of chocolate

and he'd leave
without saying a word.

I thought he was mad.

Anyway, finally I ask him,
"What are you up to?"

And he says his wife
used to love that chocolate.

Then I started talking to him
whenever he came in,

and soon enough,
he asked me to the pictures.

A year later, we were married.

That's lovely.

Truth be told, I...
I didn't marry him for love.

It was for my children.

Making a future
for 'em, a life.

But he's so kind, so patient.

As time went by, I...
I knew I hadn't done
the wrong thing.

(SOBS) But...

What's wrong, Mrs Lawson?

(DOOR SLAMS)

Nurse? Everything all right?

Absolutely. I just
came to drop round
the delivery pack.

And that's all fine,
so I should probably
be on my way.

I went to get some books.

Margaret Myles' Midwifery.

Grantly Dick-Read,
Childbirth Without Fear.

You'll know more
than me by the time
you've read that lot!

I'll see you both soon.

We were only 16 apiece,
but I knew she was the
only girl in the world for me.

She agreed to wait
until I got back from the war.

Three years she waited.

And she was the reason
I came back at all.

How romantic!

That's my one weakness.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

What about you?

You must surely have
a beau in your life?

Not really, Mr Collett.
I'm far too busy.

Oh, never! A lively young girl
like you? I don't believe it.

There'll be plenty of time for
romance when I'm older.

Now, how about some more
of those biscuits?

Of course.

No, I'll get them.

Oh!

Are you all right?

Yes, yes, I'm fine.

I, uh... Do you know,
I really think
I should be going.

Yeah, of course.

You've... You've had
a day's work today and you
need your beauty sleep.

No, no, don't get up.
I'll... I'll see myself out.

(TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

How was the old man?

He must have been handsome
to keep you out so late.

I had the most terrifying
experience.

I looked down and saw,
right on the table

there were hundreds
of insects.

Just crawling about!

Oh, those. Yes,
they are a nuisance.

It was revolting.
It set off my asthma.

You poor thing.

Some of the insects
I saw in India were
as big as your hand,

and their jaws, you saw every
sharp glistening tooth,
like, trying to bite you.

Oh, sorry.

All the tenements are full of
insects. I'm surprised you
hadn't seen them before.

It's no wonder there's talk
of closing the buildings down.

There's always been talk.

They're not hygienic.
It's about time.

I hold the insect
in high esteem.

I've often wished
I had a thorax and
a small pair of wings.

Who on earth would
wish to be an insect?

We are all God's creatures.

And I would have thought you
above all people, Sister,

would appreciate
a more slender thorax.

Behave yourself.

I can't go back there,
not with those things
crawling about.

Calm yourself, Nurse Lee.

They do not infest
human beings.

And as for never
going back there,
it's out of the question.

-But, Sister...
-Your comfort
is not important.

You have a job to do
with Mr Collett
and you will do it.

(STONES RATTLING ON WINDOW)

(DOG BARKS)

Jimmy?

What on earth
are you doing here?

I'm in a bit of a tight spot,
Jenny. Can I come in?

I'm not dressed.

Please?

Thanks, Jen. You're a brick.

(WHISPERS)
Keep your voice down.

(MOUTHING)

How long have you
been in London?

About seven hours.

I'm sorry. I did come
by earlier,
but you were out.

Thank God you've still
got that hideous clock.

I saw it in the window
and I knew I had
the right room.

I can't believe
you're a nun now.

(WHISPERS) I'm not a nun,
you fool. I'm a nurse
who works with nuns.

Oh.

Thank heavens. You're far
too attractive to be a nun.

Mind your cheek, Jimmy.

If I can't be cheeky to a girl
I've known for 18 years,
then what hope is there?

What are you doing here?

You remember when
you were studying?
I was a bit short of cash.

So Chris and I stayed
in the drying room
at the nurses' home.

I do. Three months
of nail-biting fear

that you'd be found out.
Why do you mention that?

Oh, no.
You can't stay here.

A man in Nonnatus House?
I'd be dismissed for sure.

One night.

I've nowhere else to go.

(SIGHS)

This way.

You better be gone
by the crack of dawn.

Scout's honour.

(DOOR CREAKS)

I assume there's a story here.

I have no idea.

All told, this might be
the strangest night
of my life. Good night.

(TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS)

(SIGHS)

Your guest made
an early departure.

Jimmy's an old friend.
He had nowhere to stay.
I didn't think...

Don't worry, Nurse Lee,
I shan't be telling
any tales

since you no doubt caught
sight that I had a few
overnight guests of my own.

-Yes.
-They're quails.

I'm a little short of space
at home, and they'll
do better in the warm.

It all started with potatoes.
I was growing 'em, see.

But there's no money in spuds,
so I switched to onions.

And onions got me thinking,
naturally, of chickens.

Naturally.

And that got me thinking,
"Well, hang on, Fred.
What about quails?" You know?

Not really.

People are always talking
about chickens.

Chickens this and
chickens that, like
they can't do no wrong.

But I say,
"Move over chickens,
there's a new fella in town.

"Your quail.

"Ah, he tastes very similar,

"but he's half the size
and twice the price."

Ah... Good for you.

Don't worry, Nurse Lee.
I shan't forget you
when I'm rich.

I'm telling you, I'm fine.

Shush, just another minute.

This is silly. I've got
to do the washing.

The book says we need
to keep alert for any
surges in temperature.

You and your damn books.

Let me help with
the washing, love.

The book says you'll
be unsteady on
your feet about now.

We don't want you losing
your balance, do we?

I'm not a damned invalid, Ted.

So put those bloody books away
and let me be!

Sorry.

Nothing to apologise
for, love.

You seeing that
smelly old man again?

Bad enough I've got madam
living on one side,

I've got that disgusting
old bugger on the other,
stinking the place out...

I'm telling you, you nurses
ought to have something
better to do

than keep running around
after him all the time.

(SPITS)

I'm glad you came back.

Oh, of course.

Ah!

Most kind.

And now, please,
you'll join me,

seeing as it's the
end of the day.

Oh, allow me.

A reunion of the Scots Guards?
How exciting!

Oh, yes, it's quite
an occasion,
you know.

I used to enjoy them
a great deal.

You're not going?

Oh, not for years now,
thanks to these legs of mine.

(CHUCKLES)

Well, what if I were
to take you?

Well, I... I don't
want you to feel obliged.

Mr Collett, it doesn't seem
right that a man who fought
for his country

should be penned up
at home.

Besides, it's not every girl
has the opportunity

to dine with so many
men in uniform.

You darling girl!

What a day we'll have!
(LAUGHS)

What a day!

(SEAGULLS CRYING)

In spite of everything,
he stays so cheerful.

I only hope I can be like that
when I'm old.

It sounds like
he's had a full life.

More than just work.

Oh, stop it. There's more
to me than work.

I've had my
share of adventures.

Have you, now?

Well, well.

Listen, I was hoping I could
avail myself of the
boiler room again tonight.

I thought you were studying
to be an architect, not
a professional vagrant.

I know, I know,
but rent's so
fearfully expensive,

and I can't take any of
Mother's money,
she's barely any.

So, I've been going
from floor to floor.

And tonight's floor
has other occupants?

Something like that.

I promise I'll be discreet.

Again.

I'll throw in these.

(RATTLES)

Fine, fine!

Although I think I know a way
you can pay me back.

Oh, my goodness!

You look wonderful!

You should have
let me help you.

(CHUCKLES) And missed
the look on your face?

Jimmy?

Someone call
for the cavalry?

Ah!

(CHUCKLES)

I've heard a lot about you,
Mr Collett.

Then you'll know
I prefer to be called Joe.

I'm afraid Jenny hasn't
returned the favour and
I know very little about you.

Well, I'm her secret weapon.

Oh, yeah?

(JOE CHUCKLES)

(PEOPLE TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

Looks like quite a turnout.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Private Joseph Collett.

Now, gentlemen,
here is a truly distinguished
old guardsman.

Collett, yes.

To an esteemed old soldier.

MEN: To an esteemed
old soldier!

(APPLAUDING)

(TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

I won't forget this
in a hurry.

Thank you, Jenny.

The pleasure is all mine.

Maiden, I do hope you'll
forgive me saying, but

I do believe
your young man's
sweet on you.

(JENNY SIGHS)

I'm sure I don't know
what you mean.

You do!

Now, then, sir, I'm sure
you have many stories
you can tell us all.

(CHUCKLES)
Oh, I don't know.

I do, and he does.

(JOE CHUCKLES)

Stand by your beds!

Now, I don't know
how many of you remember
your first sergeant major.

The first sergeant major I had
was very fond of poetry...

(SINGING THE BLUES PLAYING)

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

Excuse me. Can you watch
where you're going, please?

Fred!

You're probably wondering
what I'm doing with
all these apples.

I wasn't, really.

Gonna take them home, dip 'em
in toffee, put a stick in,
and what have you got?

Toffee apples.

-Another business venture?
-Huge profit margin
in this one.

Good luck with it, Fred.

And be careful!

Your ulcers are improving
wonderfully, Mr Collett.

Joe, please.

What's wrong?
You've been awfully quiet.

They're closing the building.

They're tearing
the whole place down.

Oh, there's been rumours
for years, of course.

I just never thought...

But why?

They say it's unsound.

Lord knows why.

It was still here
after the Blitz.

Me and Sally, we were here
over 50 years.

Raised our boys here.

Now, I suppose

all my ghosts will be cleared
with the rubble.

Will they rest in peace? Huh.

I wonder.

Will I?

Where will you go?

Oh, uh, St Mark's
in Mile End.

When I was young,
it used to be a workhouse.

It's not right, Mr Collett.

They can't make you leave
your own home, can they?

Oh, now.

Don't bother so.

Don't cry over an old codger
like myself.

It's just a flat, dear.

But the block won't be
demolished immediately.

Why can't Mr Collett
stay longer?

At least until we find him
somewhere better
than an old workhouse.

Nurse Lee, the decision
has been made.

The buildings are being closed
and the tenants evicted.

The best you can do
is help ease the
transition for him.

Is Fred about?
The boiler's making
all kinds of noises.

I don't believe
he's currently
on the premises.

It sounds like someone's
clattering about in there.
I'm going to take a look.

Sister!

Sister Bernadette!

-Sister?
-Yes?

I was thinking...

We ought to grow more
vegetables in our allotment.

Whatever you please.

I needed your advice.

On what to grow.

Because there's
so much choice.

Carrots,

obviously, are helpful,

but also

cauliflower is delicious.

Do we grow onions? Please stop
wittering about vegetables.

I could not care less.

What are you still doing here?

I overslept.
It's so warm in there.

You can't keep coming
to stay here, Jimmy.
What if someone comes?

(DOOR CLOSES)

Sister Julienne.

This is Jimmy.
He's an old school friend.

He's here for...

He's an old friend

and...

I just moved to Poplar.

I work nearby and
dropped in to say hello.

(BELL CHIMES)

Given the hour, I would be
remiss if I didn't ask you
to join us for lunch.

Oh, no, no, I couldn't.

Nonsense. You'd be doing us
a great service.

We usually entertain
retired missionaries
and visiting preachers.

A lively young man
would be a pleasure
for us all.

(CHUCKLES)

(LAUGHS)

(CROWS CAW)

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

Oh!

-TED: Oh! Winnie!
-Oh...

-What's happened?
-I'm all right.

You're not. You're having
contractions, aren't you?

Leave me be!

No, no. The book says
that when they're
this close together

then the birth's
on its way.

We gotta call the midwives.

My word.

If I'd expected this kind
of feast, I'd have worn
more forgiving trousers.

(LAUGHING)

CHUMMY:
Frightfully sorry I'm late.

I just found out my
old friend Binkie's
getting spliced at last.

Oh, gosh.

Chummy, this is my friend,
Jimmy. Jimmy, Chummy.

Yes, gosh, marvellous.
Um... Good to meet you.

Mmm.

So, James,
you and Nurse Lee
are old friends?

Oh, we go a long way back.
Jenny's always
been good to me

way back when I used to
stay in the drying room
at her nurses' home.

(ALL LAUGHING)

Nurse Lee!
Quite the rebel,
were you?

Um... I...

Ah.

Tell me, young man,

when are you two
to be married?

No, Jimmy and I
are just friends, Sister.

Friends?

Oh, no.

I don't think so.

He's very handsome, isn't he?

I knew a young man
that looked like that once.

I think.

Young people have
so much licence today.

It must be so precious
to be young and in love.

Well, no arguments
from me, Sister,

though I'm not sure
Jenny would agree.

Sometimes I think she might be
harbouring secret desires
to join the order herself.

(JIMMY CHUCKLES)

I'm glad you think my
personal life is such
a source of amusement.

I didn't mean any harm.

(PHONE RINGS)

I'll go.

(SOBBING)

How are you doing,
Mrs Lawson?

Not so bad.

You're going to be
all right, love.

Just take deep breaths.
I'm right here with you.

Stop it! Just stop it!

Mr Lawson, would you mind
popping downstairs
while we examine your wife?

She needs me here.

We need hot water
in good supply,
and warm towels.

Right.

Right, of course.
I'll, um,
I'll get right to it.

What is it?

You listen.

Fetal heartbeat is slow.
Call Dr Turner, please.

They say we've got to go.

I know.

Go where? Somewhere
where no one'll know me
and I won't know no one?

It's not right.
Can't you lot do something?

You sisters, you have
a say in how things go on
around here, don't you?

There's nothing
I can do. I'm sorry.

Joe?

Still falling.
Where's Dr Turner?

He said he'd come
as quickly as he could.

Mrs Lawson, we need you
to start pushing.

Now?

But it's too soon.
I'm not ready.

(GROANS)

Your body's
telling you to push.

Your baby wants to
come out now.

WINNIE: I can't!

Please, Mrs Lawson.
We're just trying to help you.

I can't have this baby!

(GROANS)

I can't!

Yes, you can, my love.

I'm scared!

We're going to take
good care of you.
Don't worry.

You don't understand!
I'm scared.

What are you so afraid of,
Mrs Lawson?

I'm scared it's going
to be black.

I don't care if it's green,
red or orange.

Your child's heart rate
is dropping and I
need you to start pushing.

Now.

(GROANING)

(GASPING)

Perfect. That's just right.

Now I need you
to do that again.

-I can't.
-You have to.

(GROANING)

Get the towel ready.
It's an asphyxiation.

What's wrong?

-Little one's got the cord
around its neck.
-Oh, God!

But don't worry.
We'll take care of that.

We've done it plenty of times.

It's too tight.
Get me the clamps.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

What's happening?

You're doing brilliantly,
Mrs Lawson.

Now just hold off
pushing for me.

-TED: Upstairs.
-Breathe.

-(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
-And breathe.

I got here as fast as I could.

The cord's clamped now.

Mrs Lawson,
we just need to
cut this.

There.

Now, Mrs Lawson,
we just need
one last big push.

(GROANING)

Now...

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

There's a heartbeat.

Why isn't my baby crying?
What's happening?

Let's just give it a minute.

Let those lungs adjust.

(BABY CRIES)

It's a boy.

Let me see him.

I'll go and give your husband
the good news.

I'll let you know
when the placenta's delivered.

Shh, shh.

There, there, now.

(TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS)

(DOG BARKS)

It's a boy.

A boy!

My little boy.

Uh, it... It's probably best
to wait a little.

Until she's... She's ready
for visitors.

All right.

Right.

When Ted and I first married,

I didn't know
how lucky I was.

I felt trapped,
being with him.

One night, I stayed out late.

I'd had a drink.

That's when I let a navvy
with a nice smile charm me.

One night is all it was.

One night.

It took me so long
to find Ted.

To really find him.

Now I'm going to lose him.

You don't know that.

No offence, sweetheart,
but you live and
work in a convent.

In the real world,
a black baby...

(BABY COOS)

Here.

I reckon we'd best
get it over with.

You can come up now,
Mr Lawson.

A boy! You don't know
what this means to me, Win...

Can I hold the baby?

(BABY WHIMPERS)

WINNIE: Ted...

I don't reckon to know
much about babies,

but I can see how this is
the most beautiful baby
in the world.

(SOBS)

What are we going to call him?

Why don't you choose,
Ted, love?

We'll call him Edward, then.

Good old family name.

My son, Ted.

Oh, my word!

Do you think he didn't notice?

He was emotional, excited.
He wasn't thinking straight.

Or he chose to ignore it,
because he loves his wife

and wants to spend
his life with her.

Time will tell, I suppose.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Oh! Constable Noakes!

What are you... What are you
doing here?

Actually I'm, uh...
I'm here to see Fred.

What can I do for you,
Constable Noakes?

I came to warn you
about your toffee apples.

There's been complaints
that, um,

there are feathers stuck
to some of your apples.

Oh.

What's a few feathers
here and there?
Don't make no difference.

There have also been reports
that some apples have...

Well, that they
have blood on them.

What you getting at?

You're slaughtering quails
in the same place
you're making toffee apples.

That's illegal, Fred.

There's some safety boffins
on their way to your house
to shut you down.

Look, I'll tell you
what this is.

This is persecution,
that's what this is.

This is government
interference, and I
won't put up with it.

I won't stand for it.
I'll fight 'em.
I'll fight 'em in court.

Or you could just dash back
and take care of things

before they make
their inspection.

Yeah, I could
do that, couldn't I?

Evening.

Good evening.

You look well.

Well, and you.

Oh, enough.

I cannot watch any more.

Constable Noakes,

would you like to take
Nurse Browne to the
pictures on Friday evening?

I, uh...

Simple question. Yes or no.

Yes. Yes, I would.

Nurse Browne,
would you like to go?

I'd love to.

Excellent.

How marvellous for you both.

Now I can get on
and enjoy my cake.

Have you come to
scrounge a bed again?
Because I'm not in the mood.

I came to apologise.

I brought chocolates.

I'm sorry I offended you
at the lunch.
I meant nothing by it.

I may be private
about my feelings,
Jimmy.

It doesn't mean I'm
about to become a nun.

I know.

It was a joke

and not a very good one.

It was no way to repay
your kindness
for the last few weeks.

I'm on my way out.

I promise not to come
bothering you any more.

Bye.

(SNORING)

Oh! Oh!

I told you I'd visit,
Mr Collett.

My maiden!
You... You've come here.

I went to your flat
and got quite a surprise.

Oh, yeah. I'm sorry.

I don't like goodbyes.

Besides, you're here now.
And I'm grateful for it.

And you're comfortable?

Oh, yes.

Doing very nicely, thank you.

How are your legs?

Oh. A little bit
itchy now and again, yeah.

Did you know
they don't let you
smoke in here?

You're only allowed
out on the steps,

and I can't find
anyone to take me.

They're very busy, I suppose.

Well, I'm not.

Mmm.

(TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS)

Sheer luxury.

(SIGHS)

Are they looking
after you here, Joe?

Oh, hush, hush.
Enough of that.

Let's just enjoy each other's
company, shall we?

How's that young man
of yours?

-He's not my...
-Not your young man.

I know. I know.

I miss my family.

Their absence is an ache
I feel every waking moment.

But if you open yourself
to love, it follows you open
yourself to heartache.

You'll know the secret
of life, my dear,
when you know how to love.

MATURE JENNY:
Removed from his home and
the care of district nurses,

Joe could not be given
the necessary care.

His ulcers became gangrenous

and both legs had to be
amputated at the knee.

It's me, Mr Collett.

Joe, it's me.

Jenny.

My legs are itching.

Could you...
Could you scratch
them, my maiden?

They're terribly itchy.

Of course I will.

Don't cry, my dear.

I'll...

I'll be all right.

BERNADETTE:
# Lord, now lettest thou
thy servant depart in peace

SISTERS:
# According to thy word

# For mine eyes have seen

# Thy salvation

# Which thou hast prepared

# Before the face
of all people

# To be a light to lighten
the Gentiles

# And to be the glory
of thy people... #

MATURE JENNY:
Joe died soon after
his operation.

There was no Last Post.

No solemn drum roll.

No final salute.

# World without end

# Amen #

MATURE JENNY:
Joe remembered me
in his will.

He didn't have to,
for I would not forget him.

I'd seen so many lives begin,

but it was the end of his
that opened up my heart.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(BABY CRIES)

Mr Lawson.

How is the little one?

Some kind of cough, I think.
Thought I'd better get him
looked at.

He still seems besotted.

He certainly does.

MATURE JENNY:
Ted loved purely
and completely

and he asked no questions.

And in the end,
nor did anybody else.

To Joe.

My friend.

To Joe.
