00:00To be continued...
00:30Let's go.
00:59Ah, my Henry's sick, you know.
01:03No, I didn't know. Come on, we'll go together.
01:07No, Miss Florence. Your father wouldn't like it.
01:11Nonsense! You and Henry have been with us forever.
01:21He should be in a hospital.
01:24That's a place you go to die.
01:26At least they've got medicine and nurses who can help.
01:31You've never been in a hospital, have you?
01:35When your family gets sick, Miss Florence, they're cared for at home.
01:40The best doctors come to visit.
01:43But in the hospital, the patients are packed together and it smells like the devil.
01:48The nurses are drunkards.
01:50Sometimes they push the patients out of bed so they can take a nap.
01:54Oh, I'm sure that's not true.
01:56Oh, I've been there, Missy. I know.
01:59Father.
02:11Hello, Mary.
02:13Come along, Florence.
02:14But, Father, these people work for you.
02:25They live on your estate.
02:27And I take care of them the best I can.
02:30But they're sick, Papa.
02:32They have nowhere to go.
02:34That's none of your concern.
02:36Your place is at home, with us.
02:39Not down here, amidst filth and disease.
02:43Is that understood?
02:46Yes, Papa.
03:02Fifty pounds and not one quid more.
03:05One of my servants said he saw your daughter in London last week.
03:30In the slums.
03:32Florence?
03:33I don't think so.
03:36William, may I speak with you?
03:38Excuse us.
03:40Not at all, Mrs. Nightingale.
03:43Reggie proposed to Florence, and she turned him down.
03:49Someone spotted her downtown as well.
03:52She's up to her old tricks again.
03:56You told me you loved him.
04:00I do.
04:01Then marry him.
04:03I can't.
04:05You are a stubborn and ungrateful child.
04:10Perhaps I will marry someday.
04:13But to do so now, it would be suicide.
04:18I'd be killing the life God meant me to lead.
04:21I suppose you're too good to run a household.
04:24I didn't say that, Mama.
04:28For the last time, Florence.
04:30Please, Father.
04:32No more threats.
04:34I've been offered a job as superintendent of a hospital in London.
04:38I start tomorrow.
04:40I refuse to allow it.
04:42I'm 33 years old.
04:45I'm not asking for your permission.
04:47Only your blessing.
04:50Well, I'll just...
04:51I'll send for my things in the morning.
04:59That was close.

06:21the sickness cholera very well have them taken to the hospital you can't take them to the hospital
06:31it's already overcrowded sir can't the british army find another place to house the sick and wounded
06:39who are you william howard russell special correspondent for the london times
06:44mr hall sir the english people deserve the truth then give it to them the army is winning
06:59the enemy is running and the soldiers are doing fine
07:03it's hard to imagine a more pitiful place four out of every ten soldiers who are brought to the
07:17military hospital here in scutari will die four out of every ten not from battle moons mind you but from
07:24disease hunger and filth they suffer alone in rat infested mattresses of straw are none of the daughters
07:33of england ready to come forth and perform a work of mercy who will save us in this extreme hour of need
07:51so
08:00florence come down it's not safe up there
08:04you must be john hall
08:17dr sutherland mr hall couldn't make it where's the man in charge here i'm in charge
08:23no no i'm looking for an f nightingale florence nightingale
08:31superintendent of the female nursing establishment of the english general hospitals in turkey
08:38oh i was expecting
08:40i understand
08:53it's um not what you would call a hospital of course
09:07oh my goodness look
09:08oh my goodness look
09:26ma'am
09:27Ma'am, a cup of water, please.
09:57What's this?
10:03It's all necessary, I assure you.
10:05Boilers, mattresses, blankets, clothing.
10:08This is a military hospital, not the royal palace.
10:12Get it down to one page.
10:15If I approve it, you'll still need the signature of two doctors to make it good.
10:21Mr. Hall, I've been given orders from Sidney Herbert, the secretary at war.
10:27They may have given you a fancy title back in London, Miss Nightingale.
10:33But to me, you're nothing more than a cleaning woman.
10:57It's bad enough they send someone to help, but a woman?
11:10Oh, settle down, John.
11:13The government hasn't the slightest idea what it takes to run a military hospital.
11:18Well, I told you we'll set the matter straight.
11:27Miss Nightingale.
11:29As ambassador to Turkey, Miss Nightingale,
11:35I feel it's my duty to reprimand you severely.
11:38I was only thinking of the men, sir.
11:41But what you've done is criminal.
11:44One hundred soldiers are dying each day because they lie in filth.
11:48That is the crime, Lord Canning.
11:52For heaven's sake, lady, no one's keeping you from cleaning the place up.
11:56There are four miles of mattresses, Mr. Hall, if you can call them that.
12:01The soldiers have dysentery and cholera, but they're too weak to rise from their beds.
12:06It goes beyond cleaning things up.
12:09Miss Nightingale.
12:10Miss Nightingale.
12:12Most of these scum lived in worse before they came here.
12:16You'll only spoil the brutes.
12:18These scum, Dr. Fox, are giving their lives for our country.
12:24Enough.
12:25You will obey Mr. Hall and the military rules of this hospital, or you will be sent home.
12:31I suppose they think we'll leave, but we won't do that.
12:45We'll stay and obey.
12:48Oh, but their rules are ridiculous.
12:51There's nothing we can do about that.
12:53The fact is, they don't recognize our authority.
12:58Cheer up now.
12:59They might slow us down a bit, but no one can stop us from showing compassion.
13:08From my heart and through my hand to you
13:12Here's a gift I'll live to help you through the night
13:18Though the dawn seems far away
13:20Please know, someday it will be alright
13:25From my lips and with my love I give
13:30Words to help you heal and help you live again
13:35Though the way seems long and hard
13:38Please know, I am here
13:40You're not alone
13:42I am here
13:43You're not alone
13:45Oh, I would change the world
13:50Turn rain to sun
13:52Take pain from everyone
13:54Oh, I would do so much
13:57Would you please send this to me, wife?
14:06Me wages are in there
14:08I'll send it right away
14:10Whenever I pictured me homecoming
14:14I always saw myself running toward me wife and daughter
14:18Running
14:22All right
14:25Which one is it?
14:27Right or left?
14:30Stay
14:30It's the right
14:36What is the meaning of this?
14:45It's arrived
14:46Don't touch anything
14:50It's food for the soldiers
14:52Yes, I see
14:54And a stove
14:55And utensils
14:56And a requisition for a French chef
14:59You've gone too far this time, Miss Nightingale
15:03This purchase was not approved
15:05Pack your bags
15:07I paid for it myself
15:12Better take this one next
15:25Speed it up, Dr. Sutherland
15:28You've got leading soldiers there
15:30Someone else should be doing this, sir
15:32There is no one else
15:35What about the nurses?
15:37They're perfectly qualified
15:39I should be operating
15:41Back to work, doctor
15:43Mr. Hall
15:44Mr. Hall
15:46We just got word
15:48Five hundred more wounded are on their way
15:51We've got wounded coming in
16:01We need your help
16:03Down at the dock
16:04Things are beginning to change here in Scutari
16:20Thanks to the leadership and devotion
16:23Of one Florence Nightingale
16:25She is on her feet
16:30Twenty-four hours a day
16:32Giving what comfort she can
16:34They're so devoted to her
16:50They kiss her shadow
16:52As it passes by
16:53One may dare say
17:12A more heroic woman
17:14Has not graced the earth
17:16Since Joan of Arc
17:18Romantic rubbish
17:20Oh, you're getting excited again, John
17:24It's an outrage
17:25You'd think she was chief of the medical staff
17:29You'll never believe this
17:33Miss Nightingale wants to leave for a bit
17:37She wants to take a few others
17:39And go with Dr. Sutherland
17:41And visit the hospitals on the front
17:43There
17:44You see, John?
17:46Now's your chance to regain control of Scutari
17:49Don't go, Miss Nightingale
17:54You're in good hands
17:56It's not me I'm worried about
17:59I've been to those hospitals
18:02I...
18:03Boat's waiting, Miss Nightingale
18:05When I come back
18:07I want to see you sitting up
18:09And smiling bright
18:10God bless you, Miss Nightingale
18:17Are you all right?
18:41Florence?
18:42I'm fine, I'm fine
18:43There's more coming
18:44There's more coming
18:44Come on.
19:14Come on, Florence. Pull through. Pull through.
19:24I'm sorry to tell you, boys, but Miss Nightingale is sick.
19:28How sick?
19:30Hasn't eaten in three days.
19:33They're doing all they can, but...
19:35Remember her in your prayers.
19:41Will you do that?
19:42Aye, we will for sure.
19:47Miss Nightingale's sick.
19:51It's from Queen Victoria, Florence.
19:56It's a brooch.
19:58It reads,
19:59Blessed are the merciful.
20:07You also received a letter from your mother and father.
20:14Shall I read it to you?
20:15Dearest Florence,
20:18what else can we say
20:22than we are proud of you?
20:25There is nothing you could have done in life
20:28that would have brought more honor to yourself,
20:32your country,
20:33and your parents.
20:34We look forward to your return.
20:41May God bless you.
20:43Stand and salute your superior officer, soldier.
21:01I can't, sir.
21:03No?
21:04My legs are on the blink.
21:06They look fine to me.
21:09Well,
21:11it's internal, sir.
21:12It's Miss Nightingale.
21:14She's back.
21:15Miss Nightingale.
21:17Miss Nightingale.
21:19Miss Nightingale.
21:36Look at me.
21:38Look at me.
21:39Look at me.
21:40Look at me.
21:41Come on.
21:42No!
21:43Come on!
21:45Come on!
22:06Until her death in 1910, Florence Nightingale was devoted to improving the conditions of
22:15the poor in her native England and all around the world.
22:19Through her love and personal sacrifice, the titles of woman and nurse were forever changed.
22:28From my heart and through my land to you, gives a gift, a lift to help you through the
22:41night.
22:42Though the dawn seems far away, please know someday it will be alright.
22:51From my lips and with my love I give words to help you heal and help you live again.
23:02Though the way seems long and hard, please know I am here, you're not alone.
23:10I am here, you're not alone.
23:14Oh, I would change the world, turn rain to sun.
23:20Take pain from everyone, oh, I would do so much.
23:27I could not change the world, rain will fall and pain will come to all.
23:37But I can give one touch.
23:41From my lips and with my love I give words to help you heal and help you live again.
23:51Though the way seems long and hard, please know I am here, you're not alone.
23:58I am here, you're not alone.
24:03I am here, you're not alone.
24:06I am here, you're not alone.
24:12I am here, you're not alone.
