-You remember Harry?

-Hello, James.

0:00:020:00:04

There's just one little thing I need you to do for me.

0:00:040:00:07

Could you teach me Italian? I could pay you.

0:00:070:00:10

I trust Geno appreciated our gesture?

0:00:100:00:13

He's told me a few words already.

0:00:130:00:15

And Geno, having female company...

0:00:150:00:17

Give me a kiss.

0:00:170:00:19

He's made me feel cheap and disgusting and unworthy.

0:00:190:00:24

Hey, let's set a date. Husband and wife.

0:00:240:00:27

Yes.

0:00:270:00:28

SHE LAUGHS

0:00:280:00:29

Mr Menzies and Dame Pattie are in Sydney next week.

0:00:290:00:33

Let's invite them down for dinner.

0:00:330:00:34

'Vote for the man who had the PM at his table.'

0:00:340:00:37

-We have them.

-Thankfully, it's all come together.

0:00:370:00:41

Oh, George! Oh, your success is my success.

0:00:410:00:45

She may well have secured George's election with this dinner.

0:00:450:00:48

Let's go back tomorrow, then.

0:00:480:00:49

Timing, my darling.

0:00:490:00:51

Timing is everything.

0:00:520:00:53

James isn't Georgie's father.

0:00:530:00:55

-But you said...

-I didn't give birth to him.

0:00:550:00:58

I did do it for love.

0:00:580:01:00

I'm not angry.

0:01:000:01:02

What do you want?

0:01:020:01:04

Your return to Ash Park.

0:01:040:01:06

-You will come?

-For James.

0:01:060:01:09

For Georgie.

0:01:090:01:10

It gives me leverage in silencing her. Please. Just between us.

0:01:100:01:15

Thanks for this.

0:01:180:01:20

It helps to know.

0:01:200:01:22

She gave me the goods on you.

0:01:220:01:24

Don't go feeding these kids your crazy commie propaganda.

0:01:240:01:28

-Now, listen here, Sergeant...

-No-one goes missing without a reason.

0:01:280:01:32

If you're asking if I killed Bert Ford, no.

0:01:320:01:35

-OVERLAPPING SHOUTING Just shut up!

-Please!

0:01:350:01:39

Martin, what have you done?!

0:01:390:01:40

Bert Ford.

0:01:460:01:48

NEWS INTRO PLAYS

0:01:570:01:59

A statement made in the House of Representatives in Canberra

0:02:030:02:06

by the Prime Minister Robert Menzies

0:02:060:02:08

gave first details of a Soviet spy ring in Australia.

0:02:080:02:11

Vladimir Petrov, an official of the Russian Embassy,

0:02:110:02:14

whose home is in Canberra, had told the full story.

0:02:140:02:17

At Kingswood Smith Airport in Sydney,

0:02:170:02:19

crowds gathered to watch Petrov's wife leave for Russia.

0:02:190:02:23

Australian security officers keep careful check,

0:02:230:02:25

for disturbances are likely.

0:02:250:02:27

Two couriers sent from Moscow, both of them armed,

0:02:270:02:30

and an embassy official, hustle Mrs Petrov to the plane.

0:02:300:02:33

Make it two?

0:02:590:03:00

Please.

0:03:010:03:03

Every time I close my eyes, I see Bert Ford's body popping up.

0:03:030:03:07

That's unlikely, given how we weighed him down.

0:03:080:03:10

Well, we've got nothing to worry about, then, have we?

0:03:100:03:13

Unless they question Eve.

0:03:130:03:15

-Where is she now?

-Redfern, last time she wrote.

0:03:170:03:20

Maybe we should talk to her before the cops do.

0:03:230:03:25

I'll call this weekend.

0:03:250:03:27

I'll drive you. We're in this together.

0:03:270:03:30

-Thanks, Roy.

-A moment, Mr Briggs.

0:03:420:03:44

You'll need a ride home.

0:03:490:03:51

I hope you understand. I don't have much choice, I'm afraid.

0:03:510:03:54

They don't want us stuffing their heads full of rubbish?

0:03:580:04:01

It's about ten of the parents, I'm sorry.

0:04:010:04:03

It's because you got Mr Poletti to come here.

0:04:030:04:05

To talk about Italy? I was trying to broaden their horizons.

0:04:050:04:09

They prefer someone who will stick to the three Rs.

0:04:090:04:12

Fine. If that's what they want.

0:04:120:04:14

It's only until the new teacher starts.

0:04:140:04:16

But the trouble is, it's not only them.

0:04:160:04:19

Reverend Green.

0:04:190:04:20

Oh.

0:04:220:04:23

I was asked a direct question about being Jewish.

0:04:250:04:28

-I answered frankly.

-Reverend Green says you talked about converting.

0:04:280:04:33

-I said conversion is possible.

-And that the Jews didn't kill Jesus.

0:04:330:04:36

Crucifixion was a Roman execution! The Jews favoured stoning!

0:04:360:04:40

METAL CREAKS

0:04:400:04:42

I don't know any of that. All I know is...

0:04:430:04:46

I appreciate the help,

0:04:470:04:48

but Reverend Green's offered his wife to come, so...

0:04:480:04:51

I'm sorry if I've made things awkward.

0:04:530:04:56

That's OK.

0:04:560:04:57

Tread careful.

0:04:570:04:58

I know you mean no harm. There are some saying different.

0:05:010:05:05

-Sergeant Taylor?

-Just...some.

0:05:050:05:08

What's up?

0:05:230:05:24

Let's go to Sydney.

0:05:250:05:27

I can go back on the roster if you need me,

0:05:330:05:35

but there's something I'd like to do.

0:05:350:05:37

No, go.

0:05:370:05:39

What's the bet Sergeant Taylor has been stirring things up?

0:05:390:05:42

I know.

0:05:440:05:45

Doctor, one moment. I hear alarming problems.

0:05:500:05:53

Mrs Nordmann banished for sacrilege?

0:05:530:05:57

I cannot believe it.

0:05:570:05:58

-Then don't be spreading it.

-As the possible target of innuendo myself,

0:05:580:06:02

I sympathise. The word "Red" is being used.

0:06:020:06:06

How's about helping me calm things down?

0:06:090:06:12

What?

0:06:120:06:13

Come on.

0:06:130:06:15

SHE SIGHS

0:06:200:06:21

Be it ever so garish.

0:06:250:06:27

Ash Park is always home if you're not comfortable here.

0:06:270:06:30

Oh, thank you, George, I may avail myself of that.

0:06:300:06:33

-Tea, I think.

-Father?

0:06:340:06:36

Er, no, I should catch up with Regina before she returns

0:06:360:06:39

to prepare for the Prime Minister.

0:06:390:06:41

You, let me know how your meeting goes.

0:06:410:06:44

I can return, if you wish.

0:06:440:06:45

Oh, James is dropping by, while Anna's at her publisher's.

0:06:450:06:48

-I shall be well attended.

-As you should be.

0:06:480:06:51

George, um, a request.

0:06:550:06:58

Of course.

0:06:580:07:00

Regina is privy to enough family business.

0:07:000:07:02

It's not required that she know about Georgie.

0:07:020:07:05

-I agree.

-Oh, good.

0:07:050:07:08

And, despite everything, she has proven her worth, hasn't she?

0:07:080:07:12

The Prime Minister is a coup.

0:07:140:07:16

But I will keep an eye on her.

0:07:160:07:17

You are familiar with the expression about dogs and fleas?

0:07:200:07:23

If you see me scratching, you, er...you let me know.

0:07:250:07:29

Congratulations, Mama! Does Anna know?

0:07:310:07:35

I want to see her face when I tell her, and Mother's.

0:07:350:07:39

-Are you going up?

-Later today.

0:07:390:07:42

-Five weeks isn't much time.

-We're keeping it simple.

0:07:420:07:45

Just close locals and a few Sydney friends.

0:07:450:07:48

-And not at Ash Park.

-Really?

0:07:480:07:50

That way, Regina doesn't have to be invited.

0:07:500:07:52

Bravissimo, Mama. So, where will it be?

0:07:520:07:55

Here? If you agree? A simple, rustic affair.

0:07:560:07:59

-Of course! We'd love to, Mama.

-Thank you!

0:07:590:08:02

One thing, before I go.

0:08:050:08:07

-Rose.

-Rose?

0:08:070:08:09

At the risk of spoiling the mood, have you been seeing her?

0:08:090:08:11

I'm suggesting nothing.

0:08:110:08:13

She brought over some food, I'm teaching her Italian.

0:08:130:08:16

-That's all?

-Yes.

0:08:170:08:18

I think Regina's encouraging it.

0:08:200:08:22

She's implied you're having an affair.

0:08:220:08:24

No.

0:08:240:08:25

Rose is an innocent party, I think.

0:08:280:08:30

She's fooled me if she's not.

0:08:300:08:32

Defuse it by telling her now, then there'll be no misunderstanding.

0:08:320:08:34

Should I say anything to Rose?

0:08:340:08:36

Not yet. Feel free to tackle madam though.

0:08:360:08:39

-Woohoo?

-Doris.

0:08:390:08:41

I come...seeking signatures.

0:08:420:08:47

Hmm?

0:08:470:08:49

Oh, good morning, ma'am. We've missed you.

0:08:560:08:59

GEORGIE GURGLES Look!

0:08:590:09:01

Look who it is, Georgie.

0:09:010:09:03

-It's Rose.

-He's grown.

0:09:030:09:05

You have, haven't you?

0:09:050:09:07

Would you mind?

0:09:070:09:09

GEORGIE WAILS

0:09:090:09:11

-Uh-oh!

-Exactly.

0:09:110:09:13

Well, I'll get him all changed and sweet smelling and bring him to you.

0:09:130:09:17

Hey!

0:09:170:09:18

Georgie!

0:09:180:09:20

Yes! Yes!

0:09:200:09:22

Did you speak to Olivia before she left?

0:09:410:09:44

We'll deal with matters at Ash Park.

0:09:450:09:47

I'm giving her some time to settle back in.

0:09:470:09:49

I was hoping I'd see her.

0:09:490:09:51

She's been through a rather emotional time.

0:09:510:09:53

-And I imagine she feels your disapproval.

-Oh, dear.

0:09:530:09:57

She's unaware of your new view of life.

0:10:010:10:03

SHE CHUCKLES No more interference.

0:10:030:10:05

-Another?

-Then I must go.

0:10:070:10:09

Henry's reaction to this faux reconciliation?

0:10:110:10:15

I assume he's not causing ructions?

0:10:150:10:17

He's not like that.

0:10:170:10:19

I thought as much.

0:10:190:10:20

We have had a disagreement.

0:10:220:10:23

-But on another matter entirely.

-Which you'll resolve?

0:10:250:10:28

I trust so.

0:10:290:10:30

Embracing happiness has its problems.

0:10:310:10:34

All change does.

0:10:350:10:37

Now...

0:10:390:10:40

..is it wrong of me to think...

0:10:420:10:45

of voting against your father at the election?

0:10:450:10:48

HE GULPS

0:10:480:10:50

He'd have no need for a politician's wife if he fails to enter politics.

0:10:500:10:54

They're just married!

0:10:540:10:56

As much an expediency as yours and Olivia's.

0:10:560:10:59

I will sigh with relief the day they part.

0:10:590:11:02

-You think he'd divorce her?

-George Bligh? Yes.

0:11:030:11:07

The Honourable George Bligh MP, probably not.

0:11:070:11:11

So, I repeat, should I vote for him?

0:11:110:11:13

The day you vote for Labour, the world will tilt on its axis.

0:11:150:11:18

SHE LAUGHS

0:11:180:11:20

As it did the day they married.

0:11:200:11:22

Here's trouble.

0:11:280:11:30

Will I run her off the road?

0:11:340:11:36

She'll keep.

0:11:520:11:53

'You know I love you.'

0:12:020:12:04

Show me.

0:12:080:12:09

I don't want to just be pretending.

0:12:180:12:22

I love you, James.

0:12:250:12:26

'I know you do.' FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:12:280:12:31

All spick and span.

0:12:310:12:32

Georgie's been crying a lot lately.

0:12:340:12:36

I don't want him disturbing the household.

0:12:360:12:38

Put my things in the cottage.

0:12:380:12:39

I love you.

0:13:400:13:41

47, 45...

0:13:510:13:53

He's down there somewhere.

0:13:550:13:57

Bugger.

0:14:000:14:01

FRONT DOOR OPENS

0:14:110:14:13

And what's transpired in my absence?

0:14:140:14:17

Miss Olivia's back. She's moved into the cottage.

0:14:170:14:19

Oh, has she now?

0:14:190:14:20

-And Miss Carolyn's about to head home.

-Olivia in, Carolyn out.

0:14:200:14:24

Infinitely preferable.

0:14:240:14:26

-And Gino?

-He likes my visits.

0:14:260:14:29

Excellent.

0:14:290:14:31

Gather the staff.

0:14:310:14:32

The Prime Minister dines this Wednesday.

0:14:320:14:34

I remember Brian Taylor as a little boy.

0:14:410:14:44

Many a cat fell foul of his slingshot.

0:14:440:14:48

I feared for my Tiddles.

0:14:480:14:49

Only you, Doris.

0:14:500:14:52

-You wanted to see me?

-Oh, glad you could make it.

0:14:520:14:55

Sergeant.

0:14:550:14:57

-What's the trouble?

-No trouble.

0:14:570:14:59

I have something for you, Sergeant.

0:15:100:15:12

It's easy to get sidetracked by minority opinions.

0:15:130:15:16

-What's this for?

-It's expressions of support for Sister Nordmann,

0:15:170:15:22

just the tip of the iceberg.

0:15:220:15:24

Word's got out to people you're harassing her.

0:15:240:15:27

-I wonder how that happened.

-Small towns.

0:15:270:15:30

Lots of anger at her being turfed out of the school.

0:15:300:15:33

Seems I'm in agreement with a lot of folks on that one.

0:15:330:15:36

A few malcontents.

0:15:360:15:38

More than a few slaps on the back at the pub last night.

0:15:380:15:41

I don't need my best nurse's reputation damaged.

0:15:410:15:44

There's the town's true feeling.

0:15:440:15:46

And more to come.

0:15:460:15:48

You Red, too?

0:15:510:15:53

Or just stupid enough to let her fool you?

0:15:530:15:56

That's how they work, you know?

0:15:560:15:58

They get you bleeding hearts on side.

0:15:580:16:00

Just decent people, banding together.

0:16:000:16:02

Decent? That what they call abortionists these days?

0:16:020:16:07

Well, so much for the soft approach.

0:16:100:16:13

Clearly, you're the bully they say you are.

0:16:160:16:18

Suspended for beating a Unionist... almost to death.

0:16:200:16:24

Demoted by being transferred here. Yeah, I made a few inquiries.

0:16:250:16:30

I'll enjoy seeing you charged.

0:16:330:16:35

However many slaps you get at the pub...

0:16:390:16:41

..trust me, there's a hell of a lot more behind her.

0:16:420:16:45

DOOR SLAMS

0:16:510:16:52

DOOR OPENS

0:17:030:17:05

Movement at the station.

0:17:050:17:06

Er, it might be best if I see her alone.

0:17:190:17:23

Righto.

0:17:230:17:24

KNOCK ON DOOR

0:17:350:17:37

Sister Adams... Sorry, Sister Nordmann, I forgot.

0:17:430:17:47

Don't tell me they're on at you, too?

0:17:480:17:50

HE SIGHS

0:17:550:17:57

-Are you sure you don't want a cuppa? It's no fuss.

-I'm all right, really.

0:18:000:18:03

Why's it all come up again now?

0:18:080:18:09

I didn't say nothing.

0:18:120:18:14

Good.

0:18:150:18:17

They went on at me.

0:18:170:18:18

Asked me if I thought you'd done Bert in.

0:18:200:18:22

I've run foul of the new local Sergeant.

0:18:220:18:25

He's out to cause trouble.

0:18:250:18:27

What you and Mr Briggs did for us, I'd never say a word to harm you.

0:18:300:18:34

How is Colin?

0:18:370:18:39

His teachers reckon he's got the makings of a scholarship boy.

0:18:410:18:45

That justifies every choice we made, then.

0:18:450:18:48

I told the cops any notion you'd hurt Bert's a load of bullshine!

0:18:480:18:51

Thank you.

0:18:510:18:52

Said he'd done a bunk, and who knows where?

0:18:520:18:55

And that's what I'll be sticking to.

0:18:550:18:58

Oh, as long as everything's worked out and you're both happy now.

0:18:580:19:03

Very.

0:19:030:19:04

Well, except...

0:19:060:19:07

..shame on the family.

0:19:090:19:10

Terrible it was. But you reap what you sow.

0:19:120:19:14

I'm sorry, Sister, but you do!

0:19:170:19:18

FRONT DOOR OPENS

0:19:200:19:21

-Thank you.

-You too.

0:19:260:19:28

Strife?

0:19:420:19:43

-No, we're fine.

-What's the matter, then?

0:19:430:19:46

It's nothing to do with Bert.

0:19:470:19:48

But there's another stop to make.

0:19:500:19:52

They did a real job on him.

0:20:100:20:12

-He was set upon?

-Homo-bashed, in a laneway.

0:20:130:20:17

The sort of place his type do their filth.

0:20:170:20:20

Is he expected to recover?

0:20:230:20:25

Yeah.

0:20:250:20:27

I'll be making alternative arrangements as soon as possible.

0:20:270:20:31

-Why? Are you family?

-Yes.

0:20:310:20:33

It's all right, Harry.

0:20:330:20:35

HE MURMURS It's Sarah.

0:20:350:20:37

-Sister Adams?

-You're safe now.

0:20:390:20:42

BUZZ OF CONVERSATION

0:20:440:20:46

-I took in a flick last night.

-With whom?

-Alone.

0:20:460:20:50

I was trying to brush out my funk.

0:20:500:20:52

Well, Audrey Hepburn's guaranteed to help.

0:20:520:20:55

Better than Beneath The 12 Mile Reef.

0:20:550:20:57

Robert Wagner? Rather dishy.

0:20:570:21:00

I wish you wouldn't.

0:21:010:21:03

The feminine tone. It's another thing I disliked yesterday.

0:21:030:21:06

-LOW-PITCHED:

-Yes, James.

0:21:060:21:08

I apologise.

0:21:080:21:10

Thank you.

0:21:120:21:13

THEY LAUGH SOFTLY

0:21:130:21:15

Are you sure this is wise, two men together?

0:21:160:21:18

It's a matinee, it's less obvious. Besides, I come prepared.

0:21:180:21:22

Ah! More introductions. Ladies.

0:21:220:21:24

-James Bligh, Daphne Morris, Grace Styles.

-Hi.

-Hello.

0:21:260:21:29

James was questioning the wisdom of our date at the movies.

0:21:290:21:32

Well, I bags Henry.

0:21:320:21:35

James, you're all mine.

0:21:350:21:36

We're cheering him up before he heads back to the country.

0:21:360:21:39

Thanks, duckie.

0:21:410:21:42

NEWSREEL PLAYS

0:21:440:21:46

Daphne and I met at school.

0:21:460:21:48

Poor Mummy's still filling my hope chest.

0:21:480:21:51

Hope-less.

0:21:510:21:52

You know how to pick 'em, Henry. He's so pretty.

0:21:530:21:56

-You said to cheer him up.

-Move your bum, Daph.

0:21:560:21:59

Thank you.

0:22:010:22:02

Two couples together.

0:22:050:22:07

Who's to know how we pair off later. Right, girls.

0:22:070:22:10

Abso-bloody-lutely.

0:22:100:22:12

-The art of survival.

-Ah, the boy's getting it.

0:22:120:22:15

NEWSREEL: 'You'll meet them on any beach right round Australia's

0:22:180:22:21

'13,000 miles of coastline. Members of the Australian...'

0:22:210:22:24

(No-one can see.)

0:22:240:22:27

'He must study anatomy. Not the type seen in snappy costumes. This kind.'

0:22:270:22:32

So, Richard's introduction was a great help.

0:22:380:22:41

Oh, be sure to send him a note of thanks.

0:22:410:22:43

It is not a contract, it's just the terms that they're offering.

0:22:440:22:48

How thrilling! SHE LAUGHS

0:22:480:22:50

Can you believe they knew about that run-in I had?

0:22:500:22:53

-They will be expecting a work of considerable fire, then!

-Ha!

0:22:530:22:57

What subject do you propose?

0:22:570:23:00

It's set in the '30s.

0:23:000:23:02

There's a woman, a young woman, in love with a man outside her class.

0:23:020:23:06

She falls pregnant and has to give their baby away

0:23:060:23:08

for fear it will cause repercussions...

0:23:080:23:11

with his benefactress.

0:23:110:23:13

Have you discussed this with your mother and papa?

0:23:170:23:20

-It's a really good story.

-That's not the issue, Anna.

0:23:200:23:23

A roman-a-clef inevitably risks offending or causing pain.

0:23:230:23:27

Stories taken from life, they have a certain air of truth.

0:23:270:23:31

And they often do the real-life people a disservice.

0:23:310:23:34

I will try to be fair.

0:23:340:23:36

Naturally.

0:23:390:23:40

To you, especially.

0:23:400:23:42

SHE CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY

0:23:420:23:44

Few of us like a mirror held up to our actions.

0:23:440:23:47

I'll only write it if you all agree.

0:23:480:23:50

Well, I have been examining many of my past actions

0:23:550:23:57

and attitudes, of late, as you're aware.

0:23:570:24:00

-Perhaps your novel will help me to forgive myself.

-Grandmother!

0:24:020:24:05

Do not shy away from the truth, darling.

0:24:080:24:11

But do treat a reformed woman kindly.

0:24:110:24:14

-They're both great fun.

-Oh, he approves!

0:24:200:24:23

Yesterday was different.

0:24:230:24:25

I find it interesting that you're more comfortable with that charade,

0:24:290:24:32

than you are with a group of men being themselves.

0:24:320:24:35

Well, I'm used to charades - lived one my whole life.

0:24:350:24:38

And about to continue doing so.

0:24:380:24:41

And I support you... and whatever you think best.

0:24:410:24:44

What are you doing?

0:24:490:24:51

-Holding hands at the pictures has a certain effect.

-Oh?

-Uh-huh.

0:24:520:24:56

-And I only have you until tomorrow.

-I wasted all that time with Audrey.

0:25:010:25:05

Audrey the Peacemaker.

0:25:050:25:07

We'd have argued if you'd come straight back.

0:25:070:25:10

-I miss you.

-And I you.

0:25:160:25:19

I love you.

0:25:260:25:27

Never heard that from a man.

0:25:300:25:32

-What of his brother?

-We never used the word.

0:25:400:25:42

But it's how you felt?

0:25:450:25:46

It's how I feel.

0:25:570:25:59

Another time perhaps.

0:26:070:26:09

Perhaps.

0:26:140:26:15

Are you sure you're up to this?

0:26:170:26:19

It does feel like a return to prison.

0:26:190:26:23

But I will adjust.

0:26:230:26:25

There's love enough remaining, I hope, to make it tolerable.

0:26:250:26:28

And it gives time for proper discussions of Georgie.

0:26:280:26:33

And Lloyd?

0:26:330:26:34

Lloyd brought my body to life and that is what I shall sorely miss.

0:26:360:26:42

THEY LAUGH

0:26:420:26:43

Oh, thank heavens there is someone I can speak frankly to!

0:26:430:26:47

I'll take that as a compliment.

0:26:470:26:49

I'll be coming and going and only ever a telephone call away.

0:26:490:26:53

You don't think I'm doing wrong in sleeping here?

0:26:530:26:57

Whatever makes it tolerable.

0:26:570:26:59

To depart on a brighter note, news of a romantic nature is forthcoming.

0:27:020:27:06

-How mysterious.

-As soon as the city contingent is informed.

0:27:060:27:10

No?

0:27:110:27:13

If you're thinking what I think you're thinking, yes.

0:27:130:27:16

-SHE GASPS

-Congratulations!

0:27:160:27:19

But mum's the word until Mum's been told.

0:27:190:27:22

A charming tableau.

0:27:220:27:25

(Watch what you share with her.)

0:27:250:27:27

-I must be going.

-Don't let me delay you.

0:27:270:27:30

-I shall return.

-As MacArthur said, and look how that turned out.

0:27:300:27:34

George and I are so grateful.

0:27:370:27:40

And we will find explanation for any choice of bed.

0:27:430:27:46

Your presence is essential for my night of triumph.

0:27:470:27:50

You've never been tempted to say it to a man?

0:27:590:28:02

You must know.

0:28:090:28:11

Of course.

0:28:120:28:13

No.

0:28:200:28:21

The Prime Minister's retinue arrives late afternoon.

0:28:280:28:31

George will show him the property, then drinks and an early dinner,

0:28:310:28:35

allowing time for the return journey.

0:28:350:28:37

We're rather being squeezed in.

0:28:370:28:39

You'll be contacted through the Prime Minister's office with the exact schedule.

0:28:400:28:45

I feel very honoured. Anything you need?

0:28:450:28:48

I suspect a crowd at the gates. Make sure it's vetted.

0:28:480:28:52

We don't want any left-wing outbursts.

0:28:520:28:54

-They'll be none of that.

-Good.

0:28:540:28:57

CLOCK STRIKES

0:28:570:28:58

You're becoming quite indispensable.

0:29:000:29:02

And our particular communist?

0:29:020:29:05

Smug as they come.

0:29:050:29:07

There'd be fewer behind her if they knew these facts.

0:29:070:29:10

That really is between us.

0:29:100:29:12

Best kept in reserve until your case is made.

0:29:120:29:16

All I need is one good witness, or her dropping her guard.

0:29:160:29:20

Until then, let's see her gone.

0:29:210:29:24

I would certainly breathe easier.

0:29:250:29:27

Consider it done.

0:29:280:29:29

You've no cause for fear, ma'am.

0:29:310:29:33

You are a great comfort.

0:29:330:29:35

KNOCK ON DOOR Yes?

0:29:350:29:38

Mr Poletti, ma'am.

0:29:390:29:40

SHE SIGHS

0:29:400:29:42

Give us a moment and then show him in.

0:29:420:29:44

-Nordmann had him at the school talking to the kids.

-Hmm!

0:29:460:29:50

And so, with honeyed voice, the evil mind persuades the mob.

0:29:500:29:55

What's Italian for policeman?

0:29:570:29:59

-Carabinieri. Or Poliziotto.

-DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

0:29:590:30:04

I saw your name on the list. You'll save me a lot of trouble.

0:30:040:30:08

What does that mean?

0:30:100:30:12

Come on.

0:30:120:30:13

KNOCK ON DOOR

0:30:150:30:17

I told you not required.

0:30:210:30:23

She's part of it. Anna wants me to thank you both.

0:30:230:30:28

For?

0:30:280:30:30

Rose looking after me.

0:30:300:30:31

Well, you had something to do with it, no?

0:30:310:30:34

-If Rose took it upon herself...

-Er, she said you didn't.

0:30:340:30:38

But I'm the guest, hmm?

0:30:380:30:39

She wants you both to know she doesn't believe the rumours.

0:30:410:30:45

-What rumours?

-Oh, there's some real gossipy types around here?

0:30:450:30:48

But it doesn't change anything.

0:30:500:30:53

We still want Rose to come over for lessons.

0:30:530:30:55

-People are saying things about us?

-I guess.

0:30:550:30:58

They're all liars anyway.

0:30:590:31:01

Anna said to come for dinner as soon as she's back.

0:31:050:31:08

She wants to thank you personally.

0:31:080:31:09

No need for you to bother.

0:31:120:31:14

Ladies.

0:31:160:31:17

DOOR CLOSES

0:31:210:31:22

-Who would say things like that...?

-How should I know?!

0:32:140:32:19

I thought you'd have said by now.

0:32:430:32:45

That visit to Sydney, the hospital, was that to see the old girl?

0:32:450:32:49

-Elizabeth?

-You thinking of dragging her in on this Regina business?

0:32:490:32:53

I'd prefer not to, but I may.

0:32:530:32:55

-So it wasn't her, then?

-She's out of hospital.

0:32:550:32:58

Righto. None of my beeswax.

0:32:580:33:01

How are you going with the clearing?

0:33:030:33:06

-Are you sure you're up to it on your own?

-Why?

0:33:060:33:09

Well, you ever thought about hiring help?

0:33:090:33:11

When you're ready to say who, I'll give 'em a go.

0:33:130:33:16

Not that I think it's got anything to do with that hospital visit.

0:33:160:33:19

You find Sir Richard's company so distasteful,

0:33:260:33:29

you'd miss my skewering of Regina?

0:33:290:33:32

You can tell me all about it.

0:33:330:33:35

Well, he's no favourite of mine either,

0:33:370:33:39

but I...I don't understand the exact nature of your problems.

0:33:390:33:42

-I've explained many times.

-In vague terms.

0:33:420:33:45

-So you're definitely not coming?

-No.

0:33:480:33:51

There's something you're not saying.

0:33:540:33:56

-Mother!

-You are the ebullient bride-to-be on the surface,

0:33:560:34:01

but your smile fades too easily, especially when he's mentioned.

0:34:010:34:05

-What has he done?

-Nothing!

0:34:070:34:09

Has he behaved inappropriately towards you?

0:34:090:34:12

He made a clumsy pass, that's all.

0:34:160:34:18

Recently?

0:34:190:34:21

-I slapped his face.

-Hard, I trust?

-Yes.

-Good.

0:34:210:34:26

SHE SIGHS

0:34:260:34:27

-I might take issue with him when I see him tonight.

-No!

0:34:270:34:31

Please.

0:34:310:34:32

Was it...

0:34:380:34:39

Was it just a pass?

0:34:420:34:44

Yes.

0:34:440:34:45

-And the slap deterred him?

-Yes!

0:34:460:34:49

-Carolyn, that doesn't make...

-Mum, please, just...let it be!

0:34:500:34:55

If I find he has hurt you...

0:34:570:35:00

in any way...

0:35:000:35:02

well, a slap would be the least of his concerns!

0:35:020:35:05

What did he do?

0:35:100:35:11

SHE SOBS

0:35:110:35:13

-What?

-He...

0:35:180:35:20

Oh!

0:35:210:35:22

Oh, you should have told me. Oh, darling!

Hello, cheeky monkey!

0:36:040:36:05

You're my cheeky monkey, aren't you?

0:36:080:36:10

How are you feeling about him?

0:36:120:36:14

We both love him and that's the problem.

0:36:180:36:20

Yes.

0:36:220:36:23

Are you up to tonight?

0:36:270:36:29

Duping the Prime Minister? It almost feels like espionage.

0:36:290:36:34

THEY LAUGH

0:36:340:36:35

It's good to smile.

0:36:390:36:40

I hope to make my way back into the house.

0:36:580:37:01

If you can.

0:37:030:37:04

Let me know when the other rooms are done.

0:37:120:37:15

Me, seeing the Prime Minister, I can't believe it.

0:37:150:37:18

You'll see a lot more in Canberra!

0:37:180:37:20

I have some business in town, I'll pick up those new posters.

0:37:200:37:23

That will be all.

0:37:230:37:24

-And I'll be taking lunch at Anna's.

-Anna's? How?

0:37:240:37:28

Set two extra places for tonight.

0:37:280:37:30

Anna and...Gino?!

0:37:300:37:32

You can't be serious.

0:37:320:37:34

-Perfectly.

-We are entertaining the Prime Minister!

0:37:340:37:37

An Italian farmer is hardly appropriate!

0:37:370:37:40

-I'll ignore that.

-I'm...I'm thinking of him.

0:37:400:37:44

-He can't but feel out of his depth.

-He may surprise you.

0:37:440:37:47

-George...

-Do it!

0:37:470:37:49

Please.

0:37:500:37:51

-Mrs Collins!

-An exciting day, Mr Blyth!

0:38:050:38:09

Mr Menzies isn't arriving for a good few hours.

0:38:090:38:12

-I wish to secure a prime position.

-You're expecting crowds?

0:38:120:38:15

-The Prime Minister amongst us? Indeed, indeed!

-We'll see.

0:38:150:38:20

No, Mr Bligh, HE will see that Inverness is behind you 100%.

0:38:200:38:27

-I trust you're right.

-I know I am.

0:38:270:38:30

-Yep?

-Have you got a moment?

0:38:370:38:39

Ah, good.

0:38:390:38:41

I've just had another person telephone

0:38:440:38:46

to tell me Sergeant Taylor questioned them...about you.

0:38:460:38:50

It seems he's checking in

0:38:500:38:52

with anyone on your rounds the day that Milly died.

0:38:520:38:54

He'll keep. I need your help with something else.

0:38:540:38:57

-Sure.

-It won't make us popular with Ash Park.

0:38:580:39:01

-How did you come across him?

-That's unimportant.

0:39:070:39:09

It's taken till now for him to be up to the journey.

0:39:090:39:12

-And you want him here?

-Well, the private room's free.

0:39:120:39:15

-Yeah, which would lower the chances of Ash Park getting wind of it.

-Yes!

0:39:150:39:19

He was beaten to within an inch of his life.

0:39:190:39:23

-There's no-one to care for him in Sydney!

-What about his sisters?

0:39:230:39:26

Naomi's in service and Eve rejects him.

0:39:260:39:30

He can recover here without any stigma attached to him.

0:39:300:39:32

I doubt George will thank you.

0:39:350:39:37

Elizabeth certainly won't.

0:39:400:39:42

Nor James.

0:39:420:39:44

I'm prepared to deal with all of that.

0:39:440:39:46

Stuck in hospital, forgotten...

0:39:470:39:49

..head injuries...

0:39:510:39:52

It's Rene, isn't it?

0:39:530:39:54

Perhaps.

0:39:580:39:59

Forget about Harry for the minute.

0:39:590:40:01

Will this help YOU?

0:40:020:40:04

You.

0:40:050:40:06

Yes.

0:40:070:40:08

Damn the torpedoes, then. Full speed ahead.

0:40:090:40:12

Back to work. You're a man of the land, I understand.

0:40:250:40:28

Thanks. And sorry again, about tonight.

0:40:280:40:31

-Not at all.

-I wouldn't fit in.

0:40:310:40:34

You might surprise yourself, but I won't insist.

0:40:340:40:38

Oh, I'll carry the bloody flag for the both of us.

0:40:380:40:42

He doesn't give himself enough credit.

0:40:420:40:44

Put yourself in his shoes - dinner with the Prime Minister?

0:40:440:40:47

That's what Regina said.

0:40:470:40:49

At least you're coming.

0:40:490:40:51

I might, um, pop over early. She may need help.

0:40:510:40:55

-It's nice to see you doing your best with her.

-Tonight, I will.

0:40:550:40:59

Thank you.

0:40:590:41:01

Put 'em on!

0:41:080:41:10

Ambulance is coming.

0:41:100:41:12

-She's done it?

-Good riddance, I say.

0:41:120:41:14

She's done it.

0:41:230:41:24

Keep up the steam inhalations and do what you can to lift her spirits.

0:41:260:41:29

Worry can affect the asthma.

0:41:290:41:31

Oh, look, she's mostly through that stuff,

0:41:310:41:34

but some of the kids have been teasing her.

0:41:340:41:37

That wouldn't help, I'll have a word to Bronwyn.

0:41:370:41:39

Thank you. It's not easy on your own.

0:41:390:41:42

I don't know what I would've done the last week without Mr Briggs.

0:41:440:41:49

Bringing us home from hospital and helping with the yard.

0:41:490:41:53

-Roy?

-Oh, that's what he said to call him,

0:41:530:41:57

but...I can't quite bring myself to say it yet.

0:41:570:42:00

Roy.

0:42:020:42:03

Yeah, he's just been a wonder.

0:42:050:42:08

Thank you, I must get on.

0:42:100:42:12

0:42:200:42:22

HORN TOOTS

0:42:280:42:30

-Been splashing out, have you?

-It belongs to the hospital.

0:42:440:42:48

I don't notice anyone else getting their own car.

0:42:480:42:50

One of the perquisites of my position.

0:42:500:42:53

Got the doc right where you want him, haven't you?

0:42:530:42:56

Sorry, is there a reason for this?

0:42:580:43:00

I had the city blokes check up on Bert Ford's missus.

0:43:000:43:03

-Interesting.

-Yes?

0:43:030:43:05

They say she never trusted you.

0:43:050:43:07

Reckon she wouldn't put anything past you.

0:43:070:43:10

I'd add killing an innocent young teacher to that one.

0:43:100:43:13

Hmm, I'm sure you would.

0:43:130:43:15

You're on a list.

0:43:180:43:20

Come near Ash Park today, you'll be hauled off.

0:43:200:43:22

That's good to know. Thank you so much, Sergeant.

0:43:220:43:24

Consider yourself warned.

0:43:260:43:28

You haven't got a shred of evidence against me.

0:43:310:43:34

I've got a crazy woman with an axe to grind

0:43:360:43:39

hell-bent on sabotage.

0:43:390:43:41

No crazier than the next person.

0:43:410:43:43

Well, none of them got locked up in a loony bin

0:43:430:43:45

and I bet none of them fought for the Commies in Spain.

0:43:450:43:48

So, till some better suspect turns up - and I don't see it - you're it.

0:43:480:43:53

If you don't mind, I have work to do.

0:43:540:43:57

ENGINE STARTS

0:44:050:44:07

VEHICLE APPROACHES

0:44:110:44:12

SHE GASPS

0:44:120:44:13

Sergeant Taylor!

0:44:140:44:16

You're no doubt here to see the crowds are not too unruly.

0:44:160:44:20

Making sure everything's hunky-dory.

0:44:200:44:23

Indeed, indeed. I'm sure the numbers will swell.

0:44:230:44:27

I'd like you to move along peacefully.

0:44:270:44:29

-I beg your pardon?

-Pack up your stuff.

0:44:290:44:32

Go on, get! Your name is on a list of troublemakers.

0:44:320:44:35

Oh?

0:44:350:44:37

-What list?

-Communist sympathisers!

0:44:370:44:41

Me? A pawn of Moscow?

0:44:410:44:43

It's not a laughing matter!

0:44:450:44:47

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. What else did he say?

0:44:470:44:49

Er, "I've got all your Commie signatures" - his very words!

0:44:490:44:52

I don't understand!

0:44:520:44:54

The petition for Sarah. He's using it against us.

0:44:540:44:58

-Where's Mrs Collins?

-Sir?

0:45:100:45:13

-Doris Collins was here earlier.

-Not when I arrived.

0:45:130:45:16

-I'm sure she'll be back.

-Everything's in hand, sir.

0:45:170:45:21

It's not too late to go home and change.

0:45:580:46:01

When will you get another chance to meet the Prime Minister?

0:46:020:46:05

No.

0:46:050:46:06

Grandmother's got something delicious planned.

0:46:090:46:12

-You must be curious.

-Oh, you can tell me about it later.

0:46:120:46:15

Just don't let Regina get away with anything.

0:46:170:46:19

I'll soften her up for Grandmother.

0:46:220:46:24

Ciao, bella.

0:46:290:46:30

-Henry!

-Miss Bligh, Mrs Bligh.

0:46:340:46:37

-I see I caught you at a bad time.

-My car has arrived, I'm afraid.

0:46:370:46:40

I'll make it quick, then. Thank you.

0:46:400:46:42

I wish to take my lead from you.

0:46:430:46:45

-Regarding?

-As George's doctor, I visit him periodically.

0:46:450:46:49

James and I are, as you have encouraged.

0:46:490:46:53

James is ostensibly back with Olivia.

0:46:530:46:55

Oh, what a tangled web we weave!

0:46:550:46:57

Therefore, should I excuse myself as Mr Bligh's physician?

0:46:590:47:03

The very fact that you ask impresses me.

0:47:030:47:07

Your understanding of James and I makes me keen to do what's right.

0:47:070:47:11

-For my sake?

-And for James's.

0:47:110:47:14

What you ought to know is nothing of you other than as his physician.

0:47:140:47:17

I shall attempt to sound Olivia out.

0:47:170:47:20

James, I'm sure, will enjoy your visits,

0:47:200:47:23

so I look forward to seeing you at Ash Park.

0:47:230:47:26

-You're returning?

-At half past six tonight, precisely.

0:47:260:47:30

-That's very specific.

-Oh, it's for a very specific reason.

0:47:300:47:33

-You're looking forward to it, then?

-Oh, you have no idea.
