Short Stay in Switzerland A

| 00:01:23 |
MrsTurner! |
| 00:01:25 |
What are you doing?! |
| 00:01:28 |
You're treble-checking |
| 00:01:32 |
One thing left to be done |
| 00:01:35 |
Clare and Richard are late with |
| 00:01:39 |
'Young fellow, what are you doing? ' |
| 00:01:42 |
We're not going to let her bully us, |
| 00:01:48 |
Cats! Well, at least |
| 00:01:51 |
and make their mothers |
| 00:01:54 |
What are you doing in |
| 00:01:56 |
It all looks wonderful. |
| 00:01:59 |
I think I will decide on that. |
| 00:02:01 |
No-one will notice weeds, they're |
| 00:02:04 |
Now go and get ready. I can't! |
| 00:02:07 |
I can't find my glasses! |
| 00:02:11 |
Is Jack ready? |
| 00:02:12 |
Is your father ready?! |
| 00:02:17 |
Tea, do you want any? |
| 00:02:32 |
You'll outshine that sister of yours. |
| 00:02:35 |
Your father will be great. |
| 00:02:37 |
Yeah, he will be. |
| 00:02:40 |
He's waited for this day. |
| 00:02:55 |
We've talked about |
| 00:03:03 |
And now, the final touch. |
| 00:03:11 |
I'm not cut out for this |
| 00:03:15 |
I look like that madwoman |
| 00:03:18 |
Wore those gigantic hats. |
| 00:03:20 |
I saw her once hatless, |
| 00:03:23 |
Oh, Jack, |
| 00:03:26 |
really, please! |
| 00:03:28 |
Keep control! Oh! |
| 00:03:36 |
I'm sorry, darling. |
| 00:03:38 |
We'll get through today, |
| 00:03:40 |
and Sophie will make us proud. |
| 00:03:48 |
Clare and Richard are here at last. |
| 00:03:51 |
Have it your way. I'll carry these |
| 00:03:56 |
Where are you going to put those? |
| 00:04:01 |
I think they'll fit better up yours. |
| 00:04:03 |
Where is everyone? |
| 00:04:05 |
Where's Mrs Savery? |
| 00:04:09 |
I'll help this poor man |
| 00:04:13 |
I wonder if they need help with Jack. |
| 00:04:15 |
They can manage. |
| 00:04:25 |
Are the cars ready? |
| 00:04:30 |
CHURCH BELLS RING |
| 00:04:33 |
Don't you make a lovely couple? |
| 00:04:35 |
Have you got your speech? |
| 00:04:37 |
You've asked me twice. |
| 00:04:44 |
I don't know which is beginning |
| 00:04:49 |
Daddy, yours is slipping. |
| 00:04:54 |
MUSIC: "I Don't Feel Like Dancing" |
| 00:04:57 |
# So I play along when I hear |
| 00:05:01 |
# I'm gonna be the one |
| 00:05:03 |
# But I don't feel like dancin'... # |
| 00:05:07 |
and the ground hasn't |
| 00:05:09 |
I'm working on it. |
| 00:05:12 |
Ah, excuse me, |
| 00:05:16 |
Might convert him. |
| 00:05:21 |
Not a chance. |
| 00:05:25 |
Have you spoken to Jack? |
| 00:05:27 |
How do you think he looks? |
| 00:05:29 |
You're as good a doctor as I am, |
| 00:05:34 |
He's completely immobile, he doesn't |
| 00:05:39 |
he can barely... |
| 00:05:44 |
The doctor in me tells me... |
| 00:05:47 |
That it's a dreadful way to die. |
| 00:05:49 |
It's... |
| 00:05:51 |
Can I say something awful? |
| 00:05:54 |
We both know you have to be |
| 00:05:57 |
and we are doctors, |
| 00:05:59 |
how can I blame people for |
| 00:06:04 |
Not even you. |
| 00:06:08 |
My wonderful husband |
| 00:06:15 |
Richard, go and talk to him, please. |
| 00:06:30 |
Hello, old friend. |
| 00:06:37 |
Actually, Anne... |
| 00:06:39 |
Excuse me. |
| 00:06:43 |
She's coming. |
| 00:06:46 |
Darling, I'll be back in a moment. |
| 00:06:48 |
# But I don't feel like dancin' |
| 00:06:52 |
# Don't feel like dancin', dancin' |
| 00:06:55 |
# Don't feel like dancin'... # |
| 00:07:22 |
Smile, everyone! Hurry up, Sophie! |
| 00:07:26 |
Well done. Come on! Mind the tree! |
| 00:07:29 |
Over here! Mind, Flora! |
| 00:07:31 |
That damn cat has a mind of its own. |
| 00:07:33 |
Of course she has, she's my cat! |
| 00:07:39 |
OK. |
| 00:07:41 |
Anne, where are you? |
| 00:07:43 |
Mummy? |
| 00:07:44 |
Daddy's looking for you. |
| 00:07:46 |
Edward's going to do his speech. |
| 00:07:48 |
He's been working on it for ages. |
| 00:07:49 |
Oh, dear. Is it very long? |
| 00:07:52 |
I thought it was perfect |
| 00:07:55 |
Before I make a toast |
| 00:08:01 |
to the man who should be delivering |
| 00:08:05 |
He's been a tower of strength to |
| 00:08:09 |
to our mother, all through our |
| 00:08:15 |
He makes you all welcome |
| 00:08:18 |
and so I ask you to salute |
| 00:08:22 |
To Dr Jack Turner |
| 00:08:26 |
Jack and Anne. |
| 00:08:31 |
Guess who's last to leave. |
| 00:08:34 |
Clare and Richard |
| 00:08:37 |
Why don't you go and see them off? |
| 00:08:40 |
Oh, thank you, darling. |
| 00:08:48 |
My wife has just made the profound |
| 00:08:52 |
I'm pointing out she is, |
| 00:08:55 |
And you'll take his side, |
| 00:08:59 |
Well, I know we're not allowed |
| 00:09:03 |
but we can watch |
| 00:09:08 |
Hypocrisy annoys me, Clare. |
| 00:09:12 |
It's been a long day. |
| 00:09:15 |
We'd best be going. |
| 00:09:17 |
No, no, no. Drink |
| 00:09:21 |
Enjoy everything while you can. |
| 00:09:24 |
We had such plans, Jack |
| 00:09:28 |
A new life... Oh, Clare, |
| 00:09:33 |
You're looking sympathetic, |
| 00:09:38 |
You look like a nun with halitosis. |
| 00:09:40 |
Well, thank you very much! |
| 00:09:45 |
Oh, get me a last glass |
| 00:09:49 |
That'll do. Get that down you. |
| 00:09:53 |
Cheers. Cheers. |
| 00:09:55 |
Mmm! |
| 00:09:57 |
Did you put poison in this glass?! |
| 00:09:59 |
No, I merely looked at it. |
| 00:10:01 |
I want to see you drink it. |
| 00:10:20 |
Come to an end. |
| 00:10:23 |
Life as we have known it. |
| 00:10:28 |
I wanted to be |
| 00:10:31 |
I am angry he got ill, |
| 00:10:37 |
Damn it! Damn it! |
| 00:10:48 |
We'd better go. |
| 00:11:23 |
Right, has everyone |
| 00:11:25 |
Sophie, you have, Jessica |
| 00:11:29 |
Well, do a fourth. |
| 00:11:32 |
Think I've found something. |
| 00:11:35 |
Look at this. |
| 00:11:36 |
Must be a screw from the coffin. |
| 00:11:42 |
If anybody says a word about |
| 00:12:09 |
Mrs Turner, would you be angry |
| 00:12:13 |
Why would I be angry? |
| 00:12:14 |
Well, people are strange |
| 00:12:19 |
It's hard to let go of who we love |
| 00:12:24 |
Do you believe in ghosts? |
| 00:12:25 |
It's not the dead put the |
| 00:12:29 |
No, no superstitions, |
| 00:12:40 |
I'm glad you're bearing up. |
| 00:12:44 |
Doctor Turner is a very big loss. |
| 00:12:49 |
You know what has to be done and you |
| 00:12:54 |
Oh, Jesus, |
| 00:12:57 |
Come on, back to work, both of us! |
| 00:13:40 |
Oh... |
| 00:13:43 |
Damnation! |
| 00:14:03 |
Ooh! |
| 00:14:10 |
Diana? |
| 00:14:13 |
Could you get me a couple of |
| 00:14:17 |
Tripped for no good reason. |
| 00:14:19 |
There you are. |
| 00:14:22 |
TELEPHONE RINGS |
| 00:14:26 |
So you have a fair idea |
| 00:14:29 |
Yes, and I'll do them all. |
| 00:14:30 |
Well, I'll arrange... I have no |
| 00:14:34 |
Having a child... |
| 00:14:38 |
Three. |
| 00:14:40 |
My mother's very ill. |
| 00:14:41 |
A stroke. A whole series |
| 00:14:47 |
She whispered something |
| 00:14:50 |
She said, "Love your children. " |
| 00:14:55 |
Your mother sounds very wise. |
| 00:15:06 |
Edward. |
| 00:15:17 |
Edward? |
| 00:15:21 |
Thank you for all this. |
| 00:15:24 |
How could I manage? |
| 00:15:25 |
I love it, you know I do. |
| 00:15:28 |
Makes a pleasant change |
| 00:15:32 |
What's the matter? |
| 00:15:37 |
Are you all right? |
| 00:15:40 |
Oh, don't take any notice. |
| 00:15:42 |
It's the house, |
| 00:15:47 |
SHE SOBS |
| 00:15:53 |
Would it devastate you |
| 00:15:58 |
Oh, snap me out of this, Edward, |
| 00:16:01 |
I should do something to help, hard |
| 00:16:05 |
I'd like you to go back |
| 00:16:09 |
because in the garden |
| 00:16:12 |
Really! |
| 00:16:14 |
It was his children drove |
| 00:16:19 |
And I sympathise! |
| 00:16:24 |
How was she? 'She seems very |
| 00:16:27 |
Never know if she's going |
| 00:16:30 |
She's still in mourning, Edward. |
| 00:16:34 |
No, I'm not selling it. |
| 00:16:36 |
I wasn't being serious. |
| 00:16:38 |
Edward that worried |
| 00:16:41 |
He's worried about you grieving. |
| 00:16:42 |
Well, why can't he speak out? |
| 00:16:46 |
He didn't. I came myself. |
| 00:16:48 |
I expect Jessica as well. |
| 00:16:51 |
Why are you so touchy? |
| 00:16:54 |
What has? |
| 00:16:56 |
Selling the house, moving. |
| 00:16:59 |
I said I'm not! It's just... Oh, |
| 00:17:01 |
it's just such a big house |
| 00:17:04 |
There are always things going wrong. |
| 00:17:07 |
The lights keep blowing. |
| 00:17:09 |
Have to get an electrician in. |
| 00:17:10 |
It's just one thing after another... |
| 00:17:13 |
And I've had a few nasty falls. |
| 00:17:16 |
It's probably nothing, |
| 00:17:21 |
Sophie, I've been practising |
| 00:17:33 |
Say something. |
| 00:17:38 |
You're tearing up |
| 00:17:41 |
They're my ruddy plants to tear up! |
| 00:17:53 |
Say nothing to your |
| 00:17:56 |
Then you'll go to a doctor. |
| 00:17:59 |
Promise? |
| 00:18:01 |
Of course. |
| 00:18:03 |
But I break promises, |
| 00:18:21 |
I think I've found the problem! |
| 00:18:25 |
See what he wants. |
| 00:18:29 |
Coming! |
| 00:18:35 |
Don't tell me this |
| 00:18:49 |
Mrs Turner! |
| 00:18:53 |
We'll have to lift her! |
| 00:18:55 |
We'll have to fetch a doctor. |
| 00:18:58 |
I'll stay with her. |
| 00:19:02 |
What is the matter |
| 00:19:04 |
Oh, is there much blood? |
| 00:19:06 |
Don't you worry about that. |
| 00:19:09 |
Is the laundry ruined? |
| 00:19:11 |
All that ironing for nothing. |
| 00:19:13 |
I'll give you a hand... |
| 00:19:17 |
Just you stay put! |
| 00:19:19 |
One move and I'll give you laundry. |
| 00:19:45 |
What is happening to me? |
| 00:19:50 |
What is happening? |
| 00:19:52 |
SHE SOBS |
| 00:20:19 |
Jack, Sophie, Edward, Jessica. |
| 00:20:23 |
Jessica, Edward, Sophie, Jack. |
| 00:20:27 |
Help me, help me, |
| 00:20:32 |
help me, help me. |
| 00:21:15 |
Worst diagnosis I could have had. |
| 00:21:18 |
You would agree with that, |
| 00:21:22 |
The odds of this happening twice |
| 00:21:32 |
So... |
| 00:21:33 |
a bomb going off |
| 00:21:39 |
and there is nothing to be done, |
| 00:21:45 |
You could lie to me, Richard. |
| 00:21:48 |
You could comfort me. |
| 00:21:52 |
I know you too well not to, |
| 00:21:56 |
Yeah. |
| 00:21:58 |
Thank you for sparing me nothing, |
| 00:22:22 |
Courage, boys, courage. |
| 00:22:34 |
Richard, it's me. |
| 00:22:35 |
I'm at the surgery. |
| 00:22:37 |
I might appreciate |
| 00:23:05 |
Still taking it all in... |
| 00:23:08 |
the news. |
| 00:23:11 |
One thing to ask. Fire away. |
| 00:23:14 |
Any point in more tests? |
| 00:23:19 |
Any hope they could be wrong? |
| 00:23:22 |
Well, there's always hope, Anne. |
| 00:23:28 |
Have you said anything |
| 00:23:31 |
Well, what will they be able to do? |
| 00:23:33 |
You need to tell them. |
| 00:23:38 |
Would you like me to break the news? |
| 00:23:41 |
Then one of us is. |
| 00:23:46 |
More tests, then? |
| 00:23:51 |
Let battle commence. |
| 00:25:10 |
PSP. |
| 00:25:13 |
Progressive supranuclear palsy. |
| 00:25:21 |
Are you going to say nothing? |
| 00:25:24 |
Better ask me what it bloody |
| 00:25:32 |
Is it... is it like daddy's? |
| 00:25:35 |
Worse. |
| 00:25:36 |
This can't happen twice. It has. |
| 00:25:39 |
It can't. |
| 00:25:42 |
No... they're not wrong, Sophie. |
| 00:25:50 |
What are the symptoms? |
| 00:25:52 |
Can't speak. Can't swallow, |
| 00:25:55 |
Can't see. |
| 00:25:58 |
I'm already prone to uncontrollable |
| 00:26:03 |
for no reason. Falling backwards... |
| 00:26:07 |
than what killed your father, |
| 00:26:13 |
That is PSP. |
| 00:26:17 |
That is what I have. |
| 00:26:27 |
What are we going to do? |
| 00:26:28 |
I've made up my mind. |
| 00:26:31 |
I don't want to hear this. I would |
| 00:26:36 |
What have you decided? |
| 00:26:39 |
Suicide. |
| 00:26:45 |
What have you just said? |
| 00:26:49 |
Would you be so kind as to repeat |
| 00:26:52 |
No, I wouldn't, Sophie. |
| 00:26:54 |
Why not? |
| 00:26:58 |
Bush telegraph? Smoke signals? |
| 00:27:02 |
I feel remarkably sane. |
| 00:27:05 |
What's has made you decide? |
| 00:27:07 |
It's been decided for me, Edward. |
| 00:27:08 |
How has it? The disease, Jessica, |
| 00:27:14 |
We can't allow you to kill yourself. |
| 00:27:16 |
Allow me? |
| 00:27:18 |
I can't, mum. |
| 00:27:20 |
None of the three of us can. |
| 00:27:22 |
Excuse me. Mother, please, |
| 00:27:26 |
No discussion. Don't be so |
| 00:27:29 |
She's just had dreadful news. |
| 00:27:37 |
Please don't let this happen. |
| 00:27:41 |
Please. |
| 00:27:49 |
Will you read this? |
| 00:27:55 |
Do you see what it is? |
| 00:27:58 |
What do they mean? You'll know |
| 00:28:03 |
well, here are the rest |
| 00:28:05 |
when I could no longer control |
| 00:28:09 |
of each time I've fallen, |
| 00:28:15 |
or was helpless. |
| 00:28:17 |
That is my list. |
| 00:28:22 |
This is already happening so often. |
| 00:28:25 |
Is this what you want for me? |
| 00:28:29 |
We just want you to live. |
| 00:28:33 |
So do I, Jessica. |
| 00:28:34 |
We want to help you. |
| 00:28:39 |
All right. Tell me. |
| 00:28:42 |
Mention palliative care, |
| 00:28:45 |
Perhaps you'll lock me |
| 00:28:48 |
Face it, did the same thing |
| 00:28:50 |
You did the very best for him. |
| 00:28:52 |
That's why we ask you to let us |
| 00:28:55 |
Be there for you. |
| 00:29:00 |
What do you want me to do? |
| 00:29:02 |
You could move into a house |
| 00:29:08 |
Single storey. A bungalow? |
| 00:29:13 |
Dear, dear, you'd put me |
| 00:29:15 |
It makes sense, mother. |
| 00:29:19 |
Don't dazzle me with sense, Sophie, |
| 00:29:23 |
A bungalow! Bungalow! |
| 00:29:26 |
Perhaps if I keep saying it I might |
| 00:29:30 |
I hear Eastbourne's lively. |
| 00:29:31 |
I wonder if it's full of bungalows! |
| 00:29:36 |
She makes it sound like we're |
| 00:29:39 |
I heard that! You were meant to! |
| 00:30:02 |
I knew it. Looks like a Scout hut. |
| 00:30:06 |
It's less than a mile from home. |
| 00:30:08 |
It might just as well be Edinburgh. |
| 00:30:14 |
The cat will hate it. |
| 00:30:16 |
It's not perfect, but then, what is? |
| 00:30:22 |
I'm sorry. |
| 00:30:29 |
I'm either crying |
| 00:30:32 |
Sophie, you should tell |
| 00:30:34 |
Really should. |
| 00:30:42 |
It's low maintenance. |
| 00:30:44 |
All on one level, obviously. |
| 00:30:47 |
No stairs to fall down. |
| 00:30:49 |
I'll ignore that cheap remark. |
| 00:30:51 |
Really warm, |
| 00:30:53 |
It does have potential. |
| 00:30:55 |
Am I in the company |
| 00:30:58 |
We're trying our best. |
| 00:31:00 |
I do appreciate that. |
| 00:31:02 |
You will make it bearable. |
| 00:31:05 |
Here is where I have to manage, |
| 00:31:08 |
then so be it. |
| 00:31:10 |
Yes, we can. |
| 00:31:11 |
We'll be absolutely fine. |
| 00:31:14 |
Edward, the garden. We'll have a |
| 00:31:31 |
It's the garden I'll |
| 00:31:34 |
Me, who couldn't grow a daisy! |
| 00:31:39 |
Cheer up, Edward, |
| 00:31:41 |
you can do anything with a garden. |
| 00:31:43 |
Come spring, who knows? |
| 00:31:46 |
Might be thriving. |
| 00:31:48 |
We'll need to make up a |
| 00:31:51 |
No, I don't |
| 00:31:54 |
Look. What? |
| 00:31:57 |
Look at her. |
| 00:32:03 |
She doesn't want to live here. |
| 00:32:06 |
She doesn't want to live. |
| 00:32:09 |
And so do you. |
| 00:32:11 |
And we will help her. |
| 00:32:55 |
Mrs Turner, |
| 00:33:01 |
The year's turning quickly. |
| 00:33:03 |
Come inside to the heat. |
| 00:33:08 |
We're a right pair, Flora. |
| 00:33:18 |
You really shouldn't go outside. |
| 00:33:20 |
I know that, you know, but it's a |
| 00:33:24 |
Yes, it is, I'm afraid. |
| 00:33:25 |
Are you still going |
| 00:33:28 |
Clare has insisted. |
| 00:33:37 |
Here we go. Coffee looks dreadful. |
| 00:33:42 |
Don't let me eat any of that cake. |
| 00:33:45 |
Why did you buy it? Temptation. |
| 00:33:48 |
I must resist. I must be good. |
| 00:33:52 |
Oh, such willpower! |
| 00:33:55 |
Share it. Oh, I daren't, |
| 00:33:59 |
You must get back |
| 00:34:02 |
Shall I use this as a racket? |
| 00:34:04 |
Really, Clare, my tennis days |
| 00:34:09 |
I'm now partnered with |
| 00:34:12 |
You know, I pointed her out to you |
| 00:34:17 |
Vaguely resembles the |
| 00:34:27 |
Oh, God, Anne! What's going on? |
| 00:34:33 |
And you can stop staring. |
| 00:34:35 |
It's none of your bloody business. |
| 00:34:40 |
Just stay there. |
| 00:34:50 |
Shall I give you a |
| 00:34:53 |
You do and I'll wallop |
| 00:34:55 |
That's the spirit! Mrs Savery. |
| 00:35:02 |
You can lean on me if you like. |
| 00:35:04 |
Thank you. |
| 00:35:08 |
Sophie rang. She's coming down. |
| 00:35:10 |
No, not today. |
| 00:35:11 |
Not today, no. |
| 00:35:15 |
Right, well, that's me |
| 00:35:18 |
Yes, I've left the money. |
| 00:35:19 |
Collected, thank you. |
| 00:35:23 |
The medication - you |
| 00:35:25 |
Thank you, Mrs Savery. |
| 00:35:28 |
Shall I phone Sophie? No. |
| 00:35:30 |
Thank you. |
| 00:35:31 |
So I won't. Till tomorrow, then. |
| 00:35:35 |
Tomorrow. |
| 00:36:17 |
Damn! That article's useful. |
| 00:36:20 |
Import... |
| 00:36:55 |
I'm not a doctor any more. |
| 00:37:01 |
I can't practise any more. |
| 00:37:05 |
It's gone. |
| 00:37:11 |
What is to become of us, Flora? |
| 00:37:15 |
No more cat food, eh? |
| 00:37:18 |
I won't even be able |
| 00:37:23 |
We might starve to death, darling. |
| 00:37:28 |
Come on, |
| 00:37:30 |
come on. |
| 00:37:32 |
That's it. |
| 00:37:40 |
I thought it was all so well |
| 00:37:45 |
is it, little one? |
| 00:37:47 |
It's not. |
| 00:37:49 |
Oh. |
| 00:37:57 |
It's now |
| 00:38:08 |
or |
| 00:38:18 |
never, Flora. |

Mother? |
| 00:42:59 |
Mother? |
| 00:43:01 |
Jessica! |
| 00:43:17 |
Oh, I want to die. |
| 00:43:20 |
Oh, let me die... |
| 00:43:24 |
Let me die. |
| 00:43:26 |
It's all right. It's all right. |
| 00:43:30 |
If I were a dog, |
| 00:43:36 |
I want to die. |
| 00:43:41 |
Help me. |
| 00:43:50 |
Should we call an ambulance? |
| 00:45:10 |
Shhh. |
| 00:45:14 |
Do you think we should wake her? |
| 00:45:16 |
I don't think we should. |
| 00:45:19 |
I can stay and watch her. |
| 00:45:21 |
We have to face what's happened. |
| 00:45:22 |
What exactly it means. Can't it wait? |
| 00:45:25 |
I don't think it can. |
| 00:45:27 |
I'm going to call Richard. |
| 00:45:53 |
Just let her rest. |
| 00:45:57 |
You'll have to spend a |
| 00:46:00 |
Well, one of you will. Are |
| 00:46:04 |
I'm surprised at |
| 00:46:07 |
What do you mean? |
| 00:46:09 |
It's not easy to kill |
| 00:46:12 |
They have built-in antidotes. |
| 00:46:15 |
Did she not know that? |
| 00:46:17 |
Maybe she was forgetful. |
| 00:46:19 |
Maybe she was desperate. |
| 00:46:28 |
We can never leave her alone again. |
| 00:46:31 |
We can't be here morning, |
| 00:46:34 |
If we have to, we have to, |
| 00:46:36 |
It isn't, Jessica. |
| 00:46:38 |
You can't want her to die. |
| 00:46:40 |
Jessica, it's not a question of |
| 00:46:43 |
it's a question of making a choice |
| 00:46:47 |
Do you want her to suffer or |
| 00:46:50 |
That's the choice she has to make. |
| 00:46:57 |
I quite understand you're all |
| 00:47:01 |
causing such a fuss. |
| 00:47:05 |
How could we be? |
| 00:47:08 |
Why do what you did? |
| 00:47:15 |
There are people worse off. |
| 00:47:16 |
Not when this disease |
| 00:47:21 |
I want to die. |
| 00:47:24 |
I ask you not to stop me. |
| 00:47:27 |
Don't ask that. |
| 00:47:34 |
I'd thought of a thousand |
| 00:47:40 |
but I don't know how to do it. |
| 00:47:46 |
I've heard of this... |
| 00:47:50 |
Oh... I can't think of the word, |
| 00:47:55 |
my mind isn't entirely clear. |
| 00:47:58 |
It's an organisation in Switzerland. |
| 00:48:02 |
Based there. |
| 00:48:04 |
What do they do? |
| 00:48:07 |
They'd let you die if you want to. |
| 00:48:12 |
They have the decency to do that. |
| 00:48:18 |
Sophie, will you phone them for me? |
| 00:48:21 |
I hate talking on the phone now. |
| 00:48:30 |
I came across them when |
| 00:48:33 |
I wish to follow it up now. |
| 00:48:37 |
At least talk to them |
| 00:48:41 |
Is this some kind of euthanasia? |
| 00:48:43 |
Assisted dying. |
| 00:48:46 |
You administer the drug yourself. |
| 00:48:49 |
No! |
| 00:48:51 |
Absolutely no. |
| 00:48:53 |
I have no choice, Jessica. |
| 00:48:56 |
I know what's coming. |
| 00:48:59 |
I'm not afraid of dying. |
| 00:49:02 |
But I am afraid of going through |
| 00:49:10 |
Do you want me to end like that? |
| 00:49:15 |
I'm sorry for all the bad news. |
| 00:49:20 |
You cannot know |
| 00:49:23 |
how sorry I am |
| 00:49:25 |
for so many things. |
| 00:49:31 |
But one thing I am not sorry for. |
| 00:49:38 |
I have wonderful children. |
| 00:49:44 |
And I need you now. |
| 00:49:50 |
I need all three of you. |
| 00:49:56 |
We're here. |
| 00:50:00 |
Always. |
| 00:50:06 |
So, you're asking me to phone |
| 00:50:11 |
make a little appointment, and then |
| 00:50:16 |
That's all I have to do, is it? |
| 00:50:21 |
You do not know if I wish to |
| 00:50:27 |
Stop being the blue-eyed boy, Edward! |
| 00:50:35 |
The disease is beating me. |
| 00:50:38 |
It will only beat us if we let it. |
| 00:50:41 |
I am fighting a different battle. |
| 00:50:56 |
I'll stand by you. |
| 00:51:05 |
You could be prosecuted. |
| 00:51:07 |
You could lose everything |
| 00:51:11 |
I don't give a damn about that. |
| 00:51:13 |
I'll do what I decide and |
| 00:51:20 |
You do know what it |
| 00:51:26 |
Yes, Mother. |
| 00:51:30 |
And no-one else can know. |
| 00:51:34 |
You win. |
| 00:52:11 |
Don't bully me, Sophie. |
| 00:52:20 |
Just give me time. |
| 00:52:23 |
I don't know how much time we have. |
| 00:52:36 |
Jessica. |
| 00:52:40 |
I'll look after her. |
| 00:52:49 |
Yes, yes, I understand. |
| 00:52:53 |
Provide a birth or a |
| 00:52:58 |
Meet your physician. |
| 00:53:00 |
You do discuss |
| 00:53:02 |
Tell them about Daddy. |
| 00:53:04 |
Am I right in understanding |
| 00:53:08 |
Tell them what he suffered. |
| 00:53:12 |
And the waiting time? |
| 00:53:13 |
What we saw him go through. |
| 00:53:17 |
Control is with the |
| 00:53:23 |
Thank you very much. |
| 00:53:26 |
Why didn't you tell them about Daddy? |
| 00:53:36 |
Can we meet them in London? |
| 00:53:38 |
No. Not allowed to by law. |
| 00:53:44 |
Mother needs to write a letter, |
| 00:53:48 |
depending on how unbearable... |
| 00:53:50 |
how... unbearable... |
| 00:53:54 |
how unbearable... |
| 00:54:00 |
She's not really going |
| 00:54:09 |
I've now passed through |
| 00:54:12 |
of progressive supra-nuclear palsy. |
| 00:54:14 |
The third stage has well begun. |
| 00:54:16 |
I have difficulty eating, |
| 00:54:18 |
I cough and choke, I cannot read |
| 00:54:22 |
My past career as a doctor |
| 00:54:27 |
I can barely support |
| 00:54:32 |
I suffer from complete loss of |
| 00:54:35 |
Can you make out what I'm saying? |
| 00:54:38 |
Complete loss of power in my arms, |
| 00:54:44 |
my whole body. |
| 00:54:46 |
I soon won't be able |
| 00:54:50 |
I need help dressing. |
| 00:54:53 |
I need help living. |
| 00:54:56 |
And if I don't take this path |
| 00:55:04 |
I will soon be unable to |
| 00:55:12 |
Enough, please, enough. |
| 00:55:16 |
It's all right, Mother. |
| 00:55:19 |
I can't even talk to |
| 00:55:23 |
What kind of ludicrous law |
| 00:55:27 |
They want to jail the dying, |
| 00:55:29 |
why don't they turn the Houses of |
| 00:55:32 |
and leave us all there to rot, |
| 00:55:34 |
powerless and helpless, if |
| 00:55:46 |
I also suffer from |
| 00:55:51 |
and am extremely irritable, |
| 00:55:54 |
as my family will tell you. |
| 00:55:57 |
My excuse is my symptoms. |
| 00:56:00 |
They might say otherwise. |
| 00:56:03 |
Well, now we have that |
| 00:56:07 |
And now guess how I'm |
| 00:56:11 |
You know who you agreed |
| 00:56:14 |
Oh, Clare. |
| 00:56:15 |
I can't play chess any more. |
| 00:56:17 |
She's insisting. |
| 00:56:25 |
Are you letting me win? |
| 00:56:27 |
That is the easiest game |
| 00:56:32 |
You know me better than that. |
| 00:56:35 |
Oh, the world's worst, that's true. |
| 00:56:38 |
You're cut from the |
| 00:56:44 |
I'm well aware you've got |
| 00:56:48 |
Getting through this |
| 00:56:50 |
You're going to need your wits |
| 00:56:55 |
and there's no better |
| 00:57:00 |
Are you paying me a compliment? |
| 00:57:02 |
Why? |
| 00:57:04 |
Perhaps it's because you're a |
| 00:57:11 |
Well, for the first |
| 00:57:13 |
you have shocked me into silence. |
| 00:57:19 |
I do worry about you |
| 00:57:25 |
and it's not the disease |
| 00:57:28 |
what you might do about it. |
| 00:57:31 |
Something silly, |
| 00:57:33 |
something |
| 00:57:36 |
and that will damage others even more |
| 00:57:40 |
You know everything, |
| 00:57:43 |
Richard didn't need to tell. I |
| 00:57:48 |
Have you any idea |
| 00:57:52 |
You can tell me to mind |
| 00:57:53 |
but, please, Anne, |
| 00:57:56 |
I'm asking you that |
| 00:57:59 |
and I ask you something else as well, |
| 00:58:07 |
May I pray for you? |
| 00:58:09 |
Of course, yes, |
| 00:58:12 |
if it helps you. |
| 00:58:16 |
You do, I'm sure, and if it does, |
| 00:58:22 |
but we each have our |
| 00:58:25 |
We will, as ever, |
| 00:58:31 |
I am not going to lie to you, Clare. |
| 00:58:34 |
I know you've tried it once but |
| 00:58:37 |
you choose suicide, don't. |
| 00:58:39 |
I don't think I could cope with that, |
| 00:58:43 |
Right you are, but I |
| 00:58:46 |
I think people will |
| 00:58:49 |
It might be my way of |
| 00:58:52 |
I'm actually thinking of |
| 00:58:55 |
You'd go on television? |
| 00:58:59 |
Have you taken leave of your senses? |
| 00:59:01 |
You're going to show off |
| 00:59:03 |
Showing off? In this condition? |
| 00:59:05 |
Anne, this is all wrong. |
| 00:59:07 |
This is selfish and typical. |
| 00:59:10 |
You've always been a spoilt woman. |
| 00:59:12 |
Jack spoilt you, |
| 00:59:14 |
everyone running around at your |
| 00:59:17 |
This is seriously what you intend? |
| 00:59:20 |
You think it's clever? |
| 00:59:22 |
It's cruel. It's cruel and stupid, |
| 00:59:27 |
dare try to convince me otherwise! |
| 00:59:29 |
Clare, you don't know |
| 00:59:36 |
No, you're forgetting what more |
| 00:59:39 |
and they have the courage to face it |
| 00:59:40 |
without putting their children |
| 00:59:44 |
Do you know what I think you are? |
| 00:59:47 |
And Jack would agree with me. |
| 00:59:49 |
You've gone far enough. |
| 00:59:52 |
I think you planned this suicide from |
| 00:59:56 |
Moving house and putting your |
| 00:59:59 |
and letting them look after you. |
| 01:00:01 |
It's all an act, my girl, |
| 01:00:03 |
fooling everybody but not |
| 01:00:07 |
You knew all along what you |
| 01:00:10 |
You're a coward |
| 01:00:13 |
Because the likes of you |
| 01:00:15 |
You would know the truth any longer. |
| 01:00:18 |
You're the liar. |
| 01:00:22 |
You believe what you like, Clare, |
| 01:00:24 |
but it is not what I believe |
| 01:00:29 |
I am willing to stand alone. |
| 01:00:31 |
You have never done so. I do so now. |
| 01:00:35 |
Well, then I leave you there. |
| 01:00:38 |
I will never see you again. |
| 01:00:40 |
No, you won't, |
| 01:00:43 |
YOU are afraid, Clare. |
| 01:00:46 |
I am not. |
| 01:00:50 |
I'm not afraid! |
| 01:00:51 |
DOOR SLAMS |
| 01:01:06 |
Courage. |
| 01:01:10 |
If a doctor was to help you die |
| 01:01:15 |
Then the law... |
| 01:01:18 |
A terminally ill person should |
| 01:01:26 |
before their lives |
| 01:01:29 |
Or at least know |
| 01:01:32 |
So it's true is it, that of those who |
| 01:01:36 |
Iess than a third actually see it |
| 01:01:39 |
Yes, |
| 01:01:40 |
people just like |
| 01:01:43 |
It relieves them of their suffering. |
| 01:01:46 |
And to me, as a doctor, |
| 01:01:50 |
that is a fundamental |
| 01:01:54 |
And what would you say to those who |
| 01:01:58 |
would undermine |
| 01:02:02 |
It sets us on a slippery slope. |
| 01:02:04 |
Well, people will say that, |
| 01:02:07 |
but in countries |
| 01:02:11 |
there is not a shred of evidence |
| 01:02:16 |
None at all. |
| 01:02:19 |
Some people watching this interview, |
| 01:02:23 |
sufficiently good health |
| 01:02:27 |
Well, I might look like |
| 01:02:32 |
I've been through |
| 01:02:38 |
They know |
| 01:02:44 |
The symptoms are getting worse |
| 01:02:49 |
the time will come when I will not |
| 01:02:55 |
when I will not be able to get the |
| 01:03:04 |
So you're saying that you've |
| 01:03:08 |
That is my right |
| 01:03:11 |
and that is at the root |
| 01:03:17 |
Doctor Turner, thank you very much. |
| 01:03:19 |
Thank you. |
| 01:03:22 |
Is he finished? |
| 01:03:24 |
You will respect my wishes? |
| 01:03:28 |
We'll show nothing until... I'm dead. |
| 01:03:32 |
I think that's the word you're |
| 01:03:38 |
One, two, three. |
| 01:03:40 |
Oh, they actually worked! |
| 01:03:42 |
Oh, look at that |
| 01:03:47 |
Oh, Mum, that's beautiful. |
| 01:03:48 |
Let's hear the riddle then. What's |
| 01:03:53 |
Oh, a newspaper. |
| 01:03:56 |
A self-harming nun with a machete. |
| 01:03:59 |
What? |
| 01:04:00 |
Are children reading these? |
| 01:04:03 |
No, I think that's appalling. |
| 01:04:05 |
Sophie, go and get the box. |
| 01:04:07 |
I'm sure it said family crackers. |
| 01:04:11 |
Just complain, Mother. |
| 01:04:12 |
I will. What part of a lady |
| 01:04:17 |
Her shoulders. I remember |
| 01:04:22 |
Her b...! (LAUGHS) |
| 01:04:26 |
That's disgusting. |
| 01:04:28 |
There's a moral decline in society. |
| 01:04:30 |
These cracker jokes are a symptom... |
| 01:04:32 |
You should complain, Mummy, you're |
| 01:04:36 |
I do not always complain. |
| 01:04:38 |
ALL: Oh! |
| 01:04:40 |
You should be ashamed of yourselves! |
| 01:04:42 |
We're innocent, Anne. We told |
| 01:04:46 |
They wrote the riddles themselves. |
| 01:04:50 |
Oh, you are the end. |
| 01:04:52 |
You really are. How could you |
| 01:04:58 |
Easily! |
| 01:05:01 |
Ha ha ha ha ha! |
| 01:05:07 |
Ready, steady... Go! |
| 01:05:14 |
HUBBUB OF GAME |
| 01:05:19 |
You were quiet during the meal. |
| 01:05:22 |
I didn't know what to say. |
| 01:05:24 |
I still don't. |
| 01:05:27 |
Thank you for welcoming |
| 01:05:31 |
Look after Sophie. |
| 01:05:33 |
There is nothing in that |
| 01:05:39 |
Would you do something for your |
| 01:05:47 |
I would not mind coffee. |
| 01:05:50 |
Probably shouldn't but I'm going to. |
| 01:05:55 |
My pleasure. |
| 01:05:56 |

| 01:06:20 |
What are you thinking about? |
| 01:06:22 |
Can I get you anything? |
| 01:06:23 |
Kedar is getting me coffee. |
| 01:06:27 |
But there is something, Sophie. |
| 01:06:32 |
I think it's time |
| 01:06:37 |
Soon. |
| 01:06:40 |
A short stay in Switzerland. |
| 01:07:03 |
I was saying to your mother, |
| 01:07:06 |
you leave off travelling |
| 01:07:10 |
That's why we're |
| 01:07:12 |
You'll have a ball. |
| 01:07:13 |
The four of you. |
| 01:07:16 |
I want to mind no broken bones. |
| 01:07:18 |
I promise. And no worries about the |
| 01:07:22 |
It will be here waiting for you. |
| 01:07:24 |
I will leave it in your |
| 01:07:30 |
How can I thank you enough? |
| 01:07:33 |
SHE CHOKES |
| 01:07:35 |
Listen to her. She's just like |
| 01:07:39 |
about getting on a plane. She |
| 01:07:44 |
She shouldn't. Packing's complete. |
| 01:07:46 |
Do you want me to double-check? |
| 01:07:49 |
I trust you, Mrs Savery. |
| 01:07:52 |
Don't you worry about the cat. |
| 01:07:53 |
I'll feed the bold Flora. |
| 01:07:55 |
I wouldn't be allowed to forget. |
| 01:07:59 |
Now look after your mother, |
| 01:08:01 |
the three of you - and bring her |
| 01:08:06 |
Well, I better get going home. |
| 01:08:08 |
Safe journey |
| 01:08:12 |
Goodbye, Mrs Savery. |
| 01:08:19 |
Is there something |
| 01:08:25 |
No, my head's like a sieve. |
| 01:08:28 |
Safe journey. Goodbye. |
| 01:08:44 |
The letters are all printed. |
| 01:08:48 |
We have enough cat food? |
| 01:08:51 |
Have you seen Flora? |
| 01:08:53 |
She's on your chair. I'll |
| 01:09:14 |
Well, old girl. |
| 01:09:17 |
You'll have to look |
| 01:09:25 |
Thank you, Flora. |
| 01:09:30 |
Beautiful, wise cat. |
| 01:09:38 |
DOORBELL RINGS |
| 01:09:40 |
The car's here. |
| 01:10:17 |
What are you looking for? |
| 01:10:19 |
My guide book to Zurich. |
| 01:10:23 |
I know it's in here somewhere. |
| 01:10:25 |
Sophie has one. |
| 01:10:27 |
Well, I have my own. |
| 01:10:29 |
Like to know where I'm going. |
| 01:10:32 |
Where are they? |
| 01:10:34 |
Meeting the TV crew. |
| 01:10:36 |
They flew in this morning. |
| 01:10:38 |
I must spring clean this |
| 01:10:46 |
So, it's happening then. |
| 01:10:48 |
Mmm. |
| 01:10:57 |
Right, let's see Zurich. |
| 01:11:19 |
How is Edward |
| 01:11:24 |
He's no more calm than we are. |
| 01:11:26 |
He can't imagine life without her. |
| 01:11:29 |
I keep wondering what it'll |
| 01:11:43 |
Can you guess what |
| 01:11:48 |
Marrying Stephen. |
| 01:11:50 |
Oh, that's excellent news. |
| 01:11:53 |
We must celebrate. |
| 01:11:57 |
Can I give you something? |
| 01:12:01 |
I want you to have my wedding ring. |
| 01:12:04 |
Take it off my finger when I die and |
| 01:12:09 |
I'm so glad for you both. |
| 01:12:13 |
Yes, do marry. |
| 01:12:16 |
Waste not, want not. |
| 01:12:18 |
I always did insist on recycling. |
| 01:12:23 |
You do know how much |
| 01:12:29 |
I love you so much. |
| 01:12:32 |
I can't imagine a better mother. |
| 01:12:36 |
That was a lovely |
| 01:12:40 |
Good luck to you both. |
| 01:12:43 |
Two sons, what fun! |
| 01:12:49 |
Right, food everyone. |
| 01:12:52 |
You must all be famished. |
| 01:12:54 |
So glad you're here, Edward. |
| 01:12:58 |
All of you. |
| 01:13:03 |
Yes. Only my mother. |
| 01:13:08 |
Oh, very good, Edward. |
| 01:13:11 |
That's right. |
| 01:13:13 |
That's it. |
| 01:13:15 |
We should say something. |
| 01:13:18 |
Is "Cheers" appropriate? |
| 01:13:21 |
Cheers. Cheers. |
| 01:13:23 |
To Jack. |
| 01:13:26 |
To Daddy. |
| 01:13:30 |
Sophie. |
| 01:13:36 |
Edward. |
| 01:13:41 |
Jessica. |
| 01:13:44 |
To Mummy. To Mummy. |
| 01:16:33 |
I think it's terrible that |
| 01:16:37 |
in a foreign country. |
| 01:16:39 |
Anne, can I just |
| 01:16:42 |
Is there anything anyone could say to |
| 01:16:45 |
to make you change your mind? |
| 01:16:47 |
No, nothing at all. |
| 01:16:50 |
Thank you. Thank you. |
| 01:16:59 |
'The procedure will take place |
| 01:17:03 |
A trained volunteer will assist you. |
| 01:17:06 |
He will have to video you taking |
| 01:17:12 |
Yes, I understand. |
| 01:17:14 |
And your children will be with you? |
| 01:17:18 |
To the end, yes. |
| 01:17:21 |
It's what they want. |
| 01:17:23 |
Is it what you want, Dr Turner? |
| 01:17:31 |
I thought it was. |
| 01:17:34 |
I thought I knew for sure. |
| 01:17:38 |
Though now I know something I didn't |
| 01:17:46 |
What is that? |
| 01:17:48 |
I've broken their hearts. |
| 01:17:50 |
By dying? |
| 01:17:52 |
By dying. |
| 01:17:55 |
You are honest. |
| 01:17:58 |
And your children, |
| 01:18:02 |
They are, yes. |
| 01:18:04 |
Then they are where they want to be - |
| 01:18:07 |
with you. |
| 01:18:11 |
Practical matters. |
| 01:18:13 |
Is the taste horribly bitter? |
| 01:18:15 |
It will be, yes. Does it ever fail? |
| 01:18:18 |
No, Dr Turner, it never fails. |
| 01:18:49 |
It is a strange thing you do today. |
| 01:18:54 |
It does require courage. |
| 01:19:02 |
You have it. |
| 01:19:52 |
Dr Turner, I am Carsten. |
| 01:19:54 |
Please come this way. Thank you. |
| 01:21:07 |
I'll let you have some time alone. |
| 01:21:09 |
Thank you. |
| 01:21:20 |
This rum chocolate is very good. |
| 01:21:22 |
I think I might try a white one. |
| 01:21:24 |
I'm not so keen on that. |
| 01:21:26 |
Which one's the rum one? |
| 01:21:28 |
The blue one. Blue. |
| 01:21:30 |
OK. Please excuse me, I need a |
| 01:21:50 |
This is what you really want? |
| 01:21:52 |
Yes. |
| 01:21:54 |
I do appreciate your kindness. |
| 01:22:00 |
I'm not crying for myself, |
| 01:22:09 |
I do hope they're going |
| 01:22:15 |
# Glory to thee, |
| 01:22:21 |
I have no regrets whatsoever. |

That's my children. |

It's time. |

Come here. |
| 01:23:31 |
Now... |
| 01:23:37 |
Look after each other. |
| 01:23:45 |
This is the barbiturate. |
| 01:23:58 |
The law requires I |
| 01:24:04 |
Dr Turner, you know if you |
| 01:24:08 |
You do understand this fully? |
| 01:24:12 |
The law requires I hear you answer. |
| 01:24:15 |
I know perfectly well what |
| 01:24:19 |
You understand the whole procedure? |
| 01:24:21 |
I understand fully. |
| 01:24:41 |
Oh, it's bitter. |
| 01:24:52 |
Oh, I feel woozy now. |
| 01:24:54 |
Into the bed. Yes. |
| 01:24:57 |
She must stay upright in order to |
| 01:25:01 |
through the body. I must insist. |
| 01:25:03 |
Can she not sit even? |
| 01:25:04 |
She can, but she |
| 01:25:10 |
SHE BREATHES NOISILY |
| 01:25:31 |
I love you so much. |
| 01:25:36 |
You know you've been |
| 01:25:41 |
Sleep well. |
| 01:25:45 |
Sleep well. |
| 01:25:54 |
Mummy? |
| 01:26:00 |
Mummy? |
| 01:26:03 |
Is she dead? |
| 01:26:14 |
THEY SOB |
| 01:26:29 |
Polizei. |

'Our mother died a short while ago. ' |
| 01:27:04 |
We're relieved she's |
| 01:27:07 |
She was ready to go and that |
| 01:27:10 |
We respect her choice but we |
| 01:27:33 |
"Forgive me for not telling you |
| 01:27:37 |
"for not saying goodbye properly. |
