0:00:45 > 0:00:47Oh! Here's a sight for sore eyes.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Hello, Auntie Peg.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51Hello, love. Oh, my darling.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54I can't believe I'm actually here.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57I could pinch you if you like!

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Come in. Come in.

0:01:02 > 0:01:03Come on.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05You've come halfway round the world.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08One more step won't hurt.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13She's expecting me?

0:01:13 > 0:01:15Ah, she says she doesn't want to see you,

0:01:15 > 0:01:18but not a day's gone by since she wrote back

0:01:18 > 0:01:20that she hasn't mentioned you.

0:01:20 > 0:01:26She's, um...pretty much stayed up there since it happened.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28Except for going to mass.

0:01:31 > 0:01:32Good luck, love.

0:01:36 > 0:01:37OK.

0:01:48 > 0:01:49Hello, Mother.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01She'll be different when she comes out of the grief.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04No, she won't.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06You're the last of her babies, love.

0:02:06 > 0:02:07Now she wants me dead too.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12I should never have called you back.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16You had to. And I had to come.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20You've never done wrong by me, Peg.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Tell me I'm not going to lose you again.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28There's nothing for me in Europe.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30There must be something. Not anymore.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36I hope you'll tell me about it one day.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40I'll always let you know where I am.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42- If Mum asks. - Of course.

0:02:42 > 0:02:43Bridget...!

0:02:45 > 0:02:46Sarah.

0:02:49 > 0:02:50It's been 20 years, love.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52Where are you going to go?

0:03:55 > 0:03:56Mrs Bligh?

0:04:00 > 0:04:03Mrs Bligh. It's the nurse.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Uh, Mrs Bligh?

0:04:17 > 0:04:18- Can I help you? - Oh!

0:04:18 > 0:04:22- I'm here for Mrs Bligh. - The doctor sent me.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24I'm her son.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26- She's not in her bed?- No.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30FOGHORN BLARES

0:04:34 > 0:04:37Don't give me that look, George. The air's doing me good.

0:04:37 > 0:04:38You agreed to bed rest.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42Your nurse is here.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45Well, she can come back later. Thank you, nurse.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48You're quite welcome, but it must be now.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50I have other patients.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52- Your wrist, please. - What on earth are you doing?

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Taking your pulse and then I'll loosen your blouse and listen to your heart.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58I have no intention of exposing my chest in public.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00You insist on being here.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02Are you always so impertinent?

0:05:02 > 0:05:03I'm simply doing my job.

0:05:03 > 0:05:04So...

0:05:05 > 0:05:08Here or in private?

0:05:10 > 0:05:12There's a definite arrhythmia.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15Absolute rest in your suite for at least a week.

0:05:15 > 0:05:20I'll visit twice a day, and I'll be back at...four.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22I'm aglow with anticipation.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32Try to get her to understand how potentially serious this is.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34Obedience has never been Mother's forte.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36I've known generals to buckle under her glare.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38They should have used her in the war.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40Well, you know where I am if you need anything.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42- I'm sure I'll manage. - I have a feeling you will.

0:05:42 > 0:05:43I didn't catch your name.

0:05:43 > 0:05:44Adams.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46Sister Adams.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51Poor Father.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53Having to take dinner with Gran every night.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Is he so worried about her?

0:05:55 > 0:05:57Worried she'll get up to dance, more like.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00Frankly I think he's just glad to get out of the firing line.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04George Bligh on board with nowhere to run?

0:06:04 > 0:06:06Those widows and spinsters hunt him like game.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08Father's a handsome man. Why shouldn't they?

0:06:08 > 0:06:11I doubt it's his looks they're after.

0:06:11 > 0:06:12Leave that.

0:06:14 > 0:06:15APPLAUSE

0:06:25 > 0:06:27I love this.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Do you think we might dance?

0:06:31 > 0:06:33Shuffling around is so maudlin. No.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35Dance with your bride, you old grump.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37I DON'T feel like it.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42Sorry...darling.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44I just don't.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50If he won't, Livvy, may I?

0:07:25 > 0:07:27# You're close to me here

0:07:29 > 0:07:32# But where is your heart?

0:07:33 > 0:07:37# It's a sad thing to realise

0:07:37 > 0:07:41# But you've a heart that never melts

0:07:41 > 0:07:46# When we kiss do you close your eyes?

0:07:46 > 0:07:50# Pretending that I'm someone else

0:07:51 > 0:07:54# You must break the spell

0:07:54 > 0:07:59# But please won't you tell?

0:07:59 > 0:08:03# Darling, where is your heart? #

0:08:12 > 0:08:15- Oh, Mr Bligh. - We dock in Sydney tomorrow.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18I just wanted to thank you for all you've done.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22It's my job.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24Three weeks tending to my mother?

0:08:24 > 0:08:26I call that duty above and beyond.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28I've had more difficult patients.

0:08:29 > 0:08:30Not many.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32BOTH CHUCKLE

0:08:32 > 0:08:34We would like to show you our gratitude.

0:08:34 > 0:08:38Would you care to join us for the last-night dinner dance?

0:08:39 > 0:08:40- Oh, I, um...- Please.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42- Your mother...- I'm asking.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44- I mean, I'd love to, but... - I've cleared it with Captain.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46I don't have anything suitable to wear.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49I'm sure between Anne or Olivia there's a gown you can borrow.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54So, we'll see you this evening...?

0:09:09 > 0:09:12Is it too much to expect your guest of honour to be punctual?

0:09:12 > 0:09:14I'm sure there's a good reason.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17There's never a good reason for bad manners.

0:09:17 > 0:09:18Ah.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25Is that one of your gowns?

0:09:25 > 0:09:26She didn't have anything appropriate.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28And you found this out...?

0:09:30 > 0:09:31Sorry I'm late.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33Emergency sprained ankle.

0:09:35 > 0:09:36I told you that was the right choice.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Were you nursing in the war?

0:11:06 > 0:11:08- No.- Why not?

0:11:08 > 0:11:09What are you, the Inquisition?

0:11:09 > 0:11:11She's just making conversation.

0:12:21 > 0:12:22I hope that's a good thing.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38Can I ask what brings you home to Australia?

0:12:38 > 0:12:40Back to Australia.

0:12:41 > 0:12:42Is there a reason?

0:12:44 > 0:12:47My half-brother died fighting in Korea.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50I'm my mother's only surviving child.

0:12:50 > 0:12:51I'm sorry to hear that.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55The role of a dutiful child is a hard one.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57I lost that title a long time ago.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03We haven't spoken for 20 years.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09I know there's a position they're trying to fill.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12That's very kind, but some obligations can't be passed on.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26I wish I hadn't left our talk to the last night.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02James, come away from there.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05It's slippery. Come on.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08- Wasn't doing anything. - Then come back.

0:15:10 > 0:15:11No-one needs to know.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14Tell them I'm sorry.

0:15:40 > 0:15:41No.

0:15:43 > 0:15:44No... Um...

0:15:44 > 0:15:46No-one can know. I'll be fine. I'll stay with you.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48At the very least, your father must know.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51- No. - You just tried to kill yourself.

0:15:51 > 0:15:52I didn't...

0:15:52 > 0:15:53I didn't mean it.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01All right. Just...

0:16:01 > 0:16:02Not him.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07- Thank you.- Ma'am. - What on earth is going on?

0:16:07 > 0:16:11I didn't want to bring you into this, Mrs Bligh, but I have to tell someone.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13- My heart is fine. - And James insisted it be you.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17- What's he done? - He tried to jump overboard.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19That's ridiculous.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22He tried to kill himself. I was there.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24- Who knows?- No-one.

0:16:24 > 0:16:25Only me.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27I've given him something to settle him,

0:16:27 > 0:16:32but he needs to be watched carefully for quite some time.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05Did you tell her why you did this?

0:17:11 > 0:17:13I want you to listen to me.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15LISTEN to me.

0:17:17 > 0:17:23I know that right now you feel you'll never be happy again.

0:17:25 > 0:17:26I know you're hurt.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31But no-one escapes suffering, James.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34You're behaving as if you're the only who's ever experienced it.

0:17:34 > 0:17:38That's not fair. It's not bloody fair!

0:17:38 > 0:17:40That's enough.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43You have a privileged life.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46The price it demands is respect for it.

0:17:48 > 0:17:52Your pain is real, but so is your duty

0:17:54 > 0:17:55Do you understand?

0:18:00 > 0:18:02I love you more than you know.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12It doesn't often give a second chance.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29Thank you for your help.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35I have it in hand.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38It's not my business why he did this.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41But it is my business to know he'll receive care.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43Do you imagine I won't care for him?

0:18:43 > 0:18:45No.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47Then there's no reason for you to stay.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50No-one else is to know about this.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40Hello, Mother.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47I don't know why you came. You weren't asked to.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49I came because I'm your daughter.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55I know what it's like to be alone, and I don't want that for you.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58And because I'm sorry.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02For what?

0:20:02 > 0:20:03Your loss.

0:20:04 > 0:20:07But not for abandoning your family or your church?

0:20:07 > 0:20:09Your God?

0:20:09 > 0:20:11I didn't come to air old grievances.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13Then you'll come back?

0:20:14 > 0:20:17Everything I own is in two bags downstairs.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21Not just to me.

0:20:21 > 0:20:22My child is God's child.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25Are you going to be my daughter again?

0:20:25 > 0:20:27Please don't ask me that.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29I suppose you want me to call you Sarah?

0:20:29 > 0:20:31That's my name now.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33Why don't you just leave?

0:20:34 > 0:20:38I have come halfway around the world for you. I'm not giving up that easily.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41Then we'll go to the church, and you'll go on your knees

0:20:41 > 0:20:43and ask Him for forgiveness for what you've done.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45You'll repent, and I'll forgive you everything.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47- Every wrong. - You can do that now.

0:20:48 > 0:20:52Let Him into your heart again. Then I can love you.

0:20:54 > 0:20:55This isn't about the church.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57I'm your child.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00You come here in my mourning to make me weak.

0:21:00 > 0:21:01Well, I'm not.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04- I won't let you put my heart underfoot again. Do you hear me? - Mum.

0:21:04 > 0:21:05- I didn't ask you to come.- Please.

0:21:05 > 0:21:07Your auntie should never have written.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09Come with me now.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11- I can't.- Then go.

0:21:11 > 0:21:12No.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14Take your Jew name and go.

0:21:14 > 0:21:15I have no daughter.

0:21:17 > 0:21:18Go!

0:21:26 > 0:21:29It's been 20 years, love. Where are you going to go?

0:22:24 > 0:22:26That church is an ice box.

0:22:26 > 0:22:27Good sermon.

0:22:27 > 0:22:28- You slept through it. - Precisely.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30What time do you want me at the station, sir?

0:22:30 > 0:22:33Just leave the car out, Norman. I'll collect Miss Adams.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Is that necessary?- She'll be glad to see a friendly face.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38Are we talking about Sarah?

0:22:38 > 0:22:40Sister Adams, yes.

0:22:40 > 0:22:41- I'll take that, ma'am.- Oh. Thank you, Amy.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44You should bring Sarah back for lunch.

0:22:44 > 0:22:45I'll see how she's feeling.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48I'm sure she'll be far too tired for that.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50Another time. Perhaps.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52Anyone would think you didn't want her here.

0:22:52 > 0:22:53How's Miss Olivia?

0:22:53 > 0:22:56- She barely touched her breakfast. - Oh, James.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58- That girl will fade away. - I'll check on her.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Yeah, please. And get her to eat.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02Mmm. Listless. Nausea.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04Lack of appetite.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07Perhaps James has done his family duty?

0:23:21 > 0:23:23How was the sermon?

0:23:23 > 0:23:24Terminal.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29How are you?

0:23:29 > 0:23:31All aches and pains.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35You're hot.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39Think I will call the doctor.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41I'll be fine.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Thank you.

0:23:45 > 0:23:46For what?

0:23:46 > 0:23:49You've been so wonderful since we docked.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52- On the boat... - Forget the boat.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56..I thought you wished you'd never married me.

0:23:56 > 0:23:57Don't be silly.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06I will call Jack Duncan.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09Just to be sure.

0:24:28 > 0:24:29You need to rest.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36I love you, James.

0:24:38 > 0:24:39I know you do.

0:24:44 > 0:24:45SWING MUSIC ON RADIO

0:24:57 > 0:24:59I can't thank you enough for this.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01I was glad to receive your letter.

0:25:02 > 0:25:04The hospital will be lucky to have you.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07- Oh, if they want me, that is. - Jack is a good doctor.

0:25:07 > 0:25:08And a good man.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11I'm sure you'll impress him as much as you did us.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17How's your mother's health?

0:25:17 > 0:25:19The specialist ordered more rest...

0:25:19 > 0:25:21and some changes to diet.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27And your mother...?

0:25:44 > 0:25:46The guest cottage.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48Small but comfortable.

0:25:48 > 0:25:49It's wonderful.

0:25:51 > 0:25:54Get down, boy. Shoo!

0:25:55 > 0:25:59He latched onto one of our visitors. Now we can't get rid of him.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02It's all right. He IS harmless.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05- It's fine. - Are you frightened of dogs?

0:26:05 > 0:26:07- I'll have him removed. - No, please.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10He was here first. He was just protecting what he thinks is his.

0:26:10 > 0:26:13Well, he'd better get used to it being yours.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15It is for as long as you'd like it.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17Thank you. This is all so generous.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20Oh, it's my pleasure. Now for the tour.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23I owe you more than evasions.

0:26:25 > 0:26:28It didn't go at all well in Sydney with my mother.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32And, yes, I've had bad experiences with dogs.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34Does it have a name?

0:26:34 > 0:26:36All he gets from us is Boy.

0:26:38 > 0:26:40After you.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51- Olivia won't be coming down. - Oh. And Anna?

0:26:51 > 0:26:53Taken a turn, I think.

0:26:53 > 0:26:54Close the doors, will you?

0:27:02 > 0:27:06After Jack's done with Olivia tonight, I wish to see him.

0:27:06 > 0:27:07Why?

0:27:09 > 0:27:12I don't want him employing the Adams woman.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14She said she'd be discreet.

0:27:14 > 0:27:17And you're happy to wager our future on that?

0:27:17 > 0:27:19She's a woman of her word.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22She's a good person.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25And how long before this goodness you so admire

0:27:25 > 0:27:29obligates her to tell your father what she knows?

0:27:29 > 0:27:32Are you prepared to answer his inevitable questions...

0:27:32 > 0:27:35about why you tried to kill yourself?

0:27:35 > 0:27:37Because he will want to know.

0:27:40 > 0:27:42It's not fair.

0:27:42 > 0:27:43No, it's not.

0:27:44 > 0:27:47But you've given me no choice, have you?

0:27:59 > 0:28:01DOG BARKS

0:28:30 > 0:28:33If I'm slamming the door in someone's face, Elizabeth,

0:28:33 > 0:28:35I'd sort of like to know why.

0:28:35 > 0:28:37George talked her up.

0:28:37 > 0:28:39Well, George is simply playing Good Samaritan

0:28:39 > 0:28:41to a woman he hardly knows.

0:28:41 > 0:28:43I saw a lot more of her than he did.

0:28:43 > 0:28:44And...?

0:28:44 > 0:28:47She has a sort of bland efficiency.

0:28:48 > 0:28:50Regardless, she's returned to Australia

0:28:50 > 0:28:53out of some familial obligation that's gone awry.

0:28:53 > 0:28:56She simply wants to earn enough for her fare home.

0:28:56 > 0:28:57You know that for sure?

0:28:57 > 0:29:00Well, she contacted George because she has no other options

0:29:00 > 0:29:02and no means.

0:29:02 > 0:29:04She will scuttle off as soon as possible

0:29:04 > 0:29:07and you will just have to train someone all over again.

0:29:07 > 0:29:08Now...

0:29:08 > 0:29:11Olivia.

0:29:11 > 0:29:12There's nothing to worry about.

0:29:12 > 0:29:15Is it possible the succession may be secure?

0:29:20 > 0:29:22If she's pregnant...

0:29:22 > 0:29:24you'll be the second to know.

0:29:24 > 0:29:27From my mouth to their ears, and then to yours.

0:29:30 > 0:29:32I've got to go.

0:29:32 > 0:29:34One more thought, Jack.

0:29:34 > 0:29:37The Adams woman was 20 years in Europe.

0:29:37 > 0:29:40A town like Inverness is not going to satisfy her.

0:29:40 > 0:29:43Employ someone who might conceivably settle.

0:29:45 > 0:29:47Let's see how we go.

0:29:51 > 0:29:54MUSIC: Crazy, Man, Crazy by Bill Haley And The Comets

0:29:54 > 0:29:58# Crazy, man, crazy

0:29:58 > 0:30:00# Crazy, man, crazy

0:30:00 > 0:30:03# Crazy, man, crazy

0:30:03 > 0:30:06# Oh, man that music's gone, gone

0:30:06 > 0:30:08# I said, crazy, man, crazy

0:30:08 > 0:30:11# Crazy, man, crazy... #

0:30:13 > 0:30:14I was coming over to see you.

0:30:17 > 0:30:19Here I am.

0:30:19 > 0:30:21Here I am.

0:30:21 > 0:30:22MUSIC STOPS

0:30:25 > 0:30:27You docked a week ago.

0:30:27 > 0:30:30We had to stay in the city for Grandmother to see a specialist.

0:30:30 > 0:30:32At least I got to see Auntie Carolyn.

0:30:33 > 0:30:36You'd rather see her than me?

0:30:36 > 0:30:37Don't sulk!

0:30:38 > 0:30:41Even if it does make you cute.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43- Does it?- Very.

0:30:45 > 0:30:46Then I'll sulk.

0:30:49 > 0:30:51Papa saw you yesterday.

0:30:51 > 0:30:53We got back Saturday night.

0:30:53 > 0:30:56I was dragged to church and I couldn't get away all day.

0:30:58 > 0:31:01This is the first chance, honestly.

0:31:03 > 0:31:04You think it isn't?

0:31:06 > 0:31:07I missed you.

0:31:08 > 0:31:10I missed you too.

0:31:16 > 0:31:18I worried.

0:31:18 > 0:31:19Why?

0:31:19 > 0:31:21There are many men in Europe.

0:31:21 > 0:31:23And you're here.

0:31:47 > 0:31:49Father had something come up. He asked me to drive you.

0:31:49 > 0:31:51What a lovely surprise.

0:31:52 > 0:31:54Chance to say thank you again.

0:31:54 > 0:31:55No thanks are needed.

0:31:57 > 0:31:58How have you been?

0:31:58 > 0:32:00Well. Yourself?

0:32:02 > 0:32:05Really...how are you?

0:32:05 > 0:32:09Um, I'm doing better, I suppose.

0:32:09 > 0:32:11Are you getting any professional help?

0:32:11 > 0:32:13- I have Grandmother. - And she has a heart condition.

0:32:13 > 0:32:15There are people trained to deal with...

0:32:15 > 0:32:16I'm fine.

0:32:16 > 0:32:18Shall we?

0:32:33 > 0:32:36Call the house and Norman will collect you when you're done.

0:32:36 > 0:32:38Oh, I don't want to be a bother.

0:32:38 > 0:32:40It's his job.

0:32:40 > 0:32:42- Good luck. - Thank you.

0:32:43 > 0:32:46James, if...if you do need to talk, I'm here.

0:32:47 > 0:32:49And hopefully will be for a long while.

0:32:56 > 0:32:57Right.

0:32:59 > 0:33:01You've had an interesting and impressive career.

0:33:01 > 0:33:03You sound surprised.

0:33:03 > 0:33:061937, Spanish Civil War.

0:33:07 > 0:33:09Must have been rough nursing.

0:33:09 > 0:33:11Any warzone is.

0:33:13 > 0:33:15'39 to '46, there's nothing.

0:33:16 > 0:33:19- You didn't work during the big one? - I wasn't able to.

0:33:19 > 0:33:20Why?

0:33:20 > 0:33:22I'm sorry. I don't see the relevance.

0:33:22 > 0:33:24Well, it's work history.

0:33:24 > 0:33:25It's relevant.

0:33:25 > 0:33:27But, as you pointed out, I wasn't working,

0:33:27 > 0:33:29which makes it personal history.

0:33:29 > 0:33:32I assumed I'd be hired for my skills, not my story.

0:33:32 > 0:33:35Is that why you left out your religion?

0:33:36 > 0:33:39Cos I have no issue with atheists, if that's the concern.

0:33:40 > 0:33:42But prayers are said twice a day here.

0:33:42 > 0:33:43Would that be a problem for you?

0:33:43 > 0:33:45It hasn't been so far.

0:33:46 > 0:33:48But I'm not an atheist. I'm Jewish.

0:33:48 > 0:33:49By faith.

0:33:51 > 0:33:52You converted?

0:33:57 > 0:33:58Well.

0:33:58 > 0:34:01I'll say my prayers while you say yours.

0:34:01 > 0:34:03Would that be a problem for YOU, Dr Duncan?

0:34:07 > 0:34:09Fair enough.

0:34:11 > 0:34:14The position is for someone to nurse in the community,

0:34:14 > 0:34:17so you'd spend most of your time making house calls.

0:34:17 > 0:34:20If I'm going to see how you work, we should find you a patient.

0:34:23 > 0:34:24Lead the way.

0:34:28 > 0:34:30SHEEP BLEAT

0:35:01 > 0:35:03Roy! You there?

0:35:08 > 0:35:09Roy!

0:35:12 > 0:35:14Turn around. Go on!

0:35:14 > 0:35:16Don't be like that.

0:35:17 > 0:35:19This is Miss Adams.

0:35:19 > 0:35:20She's looking for work.

0:35:21 > 0:35:23Thought we could say g'day.

0:35:23 > 0:35:25No, you thought you'd come and poke around my ruddy leg again,

0:35:25 > 0:35:27and I won't have it, so go on, git!

0:35:27 > 0:35:28Roy had an accident.

0:35:28 > 0:35:30He came in and we operated.

0:35:30 > 0:35:33But now he won't let us keep the wound treated.

0:35:33 > 0:35:35You done your job. You stitched me up.

0:35:35 > 0:35:37Now bugger off.

0:35:37 > 0:35:40The big risk is blood poisoning. Which can be lethal, Roy.

0:35:43 > 0:35:44What do you think, Sister?

0:35:50 > 0:35:51Where do you think you're goin'?

0:35:53 > 0:35:54You have two choices.

0:35:54 > 0:35:58Either you shoot me or you come inside and let me do what I must to keep you healthy.

0:36:06 > 0:36:08I'd normally work unsupervised, yes?

0:36:08 > 0:36:10How will I know if you've done a good job?

0:36:11 > 0:36:13You won't hear a gunshot.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27He'd have me at that bloody hospital every day.

0:36:27 > 0:36:29I've got a farm to run. You can tell him that.

0:36:31 > 0:36:32Well?

0:36:32 > 0:36:34It does need treatment.

0:36:34 > 0:36:36- Yeah, go on... - Hear me out!

0:36:36 > 0:36:38It's clear you don't like the doctor

0:36:38 > 0:36:40and it's just as clear he doesn't like me

0:36:40 > 0:36:42or he wouldn't have brought me to be held at gunpoint

0:36:42 > 0:36:44during a job interview.

0:36:44 > 0:36:47So, do me a favour - let me dress the wound.

0:36:47 > 0:36:50It'll save your leg and your farm with it.

0:36:51 > 0:36:54It'll also give Dr Duncan a nice big serving of crow.

0:36:57 > 0:36:59What do you say?

0:37:03 > 0:37:05Struth, missy.

0:37:05 > 0:37:07Yeah, righto. You do your worst.

0:37:12 > 0:37:14Well?

0:37:14 > 0:37:17Thanks for the gift, Roy.

0:37:17 > 0:37:18I'll see you next week, then.

0:37:18 > 0:37:21I imagine that's up to Dr Duncan.

0:37:24 > 0:37:27Now, you'd be a fool to let that one go,

0:37:27 > 0:37:29but I s'pose that means you probably will.

0:37:40 > 0:37:42How did you manage that?

0:37:42 > 0:37:46It was quite easy, really, once we learned we had shared opinions.

0:37:46 > 0:37:48- On...?- You.

0:37:48 > 0:37:50You think I'm being unfair.

0:37:50 > 0:37:53Devoid of humour or charm perhaps,

0:37:53 > 0:37:55but unfair implies you had an agenda

0:37:55 > 0:37:57and I can't imagine a reason you would.

0:38:05 > 0:38:09If I was harder than I needed to be, I'm sorry.

0:38:09 > 0:38:11It wasn't personal.

0:38:11 > 0:38:13- Apology accepted. - Good.

0:38:13 > 0:38:15The job is yours, if you want it.

0:38:17 > 0:38:19Are you offering because George Bligh insisted you do?

0:38:19 > 0:38:21No.

0:38:21 > 0:38:23I'm offering because we'd be lucky to have you.

0:38:25 > 0:38:27You're more than qualified.

0:38:27 > 0:38:31You obviously know how to deal with people, even the charmless ones.

0:38:37 > 0:38:40Well, I won't rush you for a decision, but...

0:38:41 > 0:38:44..the job is yours if you want it.

0:39:06 > 0:39:10I thought you might need supplies. Let me know if you run out.

0:39:10 > 0:39:13Thank you, Mr Bligh, but I'm not sure I'll be staying.

0:39:14 > 0:39:16The interview didn't go well?

0:39:16 > 0:39:18The job was offered.

0:39:18 > 0:39:20Then what?

0:39:21 > 0:39:25Dr Duncan started with a definite bias against me.

0:39:27 > 0:39:29That IS surprising.

0:39:29 > 0:39:30Jack's a fair man.

0:39:30 > 0:39:32But it was there...

0:39:32 > 0:39:35and I'd rather not work where I'm not wanted.

0:39:39 > 0:39:42Well, I do hope you consider the offer...

0:39:42 > 0:39:44despite your misgivings.

0:39:48 > 0:39:49Good night.

0:39:49 > 0:39:51Good night.

0:39:51 > 0:39:53DOG GROWLS

0:39:55 > 0:39:58You see, you'd have at least one supporter.

0:39:58 > 0:40:00DOG BARKS

0:40:00 > 0:40:02Make that two.

0:40:43 > 0:40:45I thought I made my wishes clear.

0:40:45 > 0:40:48No, you misrepresented her.

0:40:49 > 0:40:52She's a lot more than blandly efficient.

0:40:53 > 0:40:55I don't understand your problem with her.

0:40:55 > 0:40:58Well, it should be enough that I have one.

0:40:58 > 0:41:01Come on, you give me one good reason and I'll retract the offer.

0:41:01 > 0:41:04The fact that I want it should suffice.

0:41:04 > 0:41:07Not this time.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17The guest cottage, please, Norman.

0:41:52 > 0:41:54Nurse Adams.

0:41:58 > 0:42:01So, you're comfortable. Well-supplied, I see.

0:42:01 > 0:42:04Thanks to Mr Bligh.

0:42:04 > 0:42:05With milk, thank you.

0:42:05 > 0:42:09No sugar - a dictate of my specialist.

0:42:11 > 0:42:13Yes, George is very generous.

0:42:15 > 0:42:18It's a generosity - thank you - I'd also like to extend.

0:42:20 > 0:42:23You helped my grandson.

0:42:23 > 0:42:25For that I'm in your debt.

0:42:26 > 0:42:28So, as a sign of my gratitude,

0:42:28 > 0:42:32I would like to pay your return passage to England.

0:42:35 > 0:42:37That's incredibly kind.

0:42:38 > 0:42:41I understand the importance of home.

0:42:41 > 0:42:44Clearly your family matters did not go well.

0:42:48 > 0:42:51Being here with no-one must be difficult.

0:42:51 > 0:42:53- In England... - Did you speak to Dr Duncan?

0:42:55 > 0:42:57Did you encourage him against me?

0:42:57 > 0:42:58Yes.

0:42:59 > 0:43:01I'm sure you're a good person.

0:43:01 > 0:43:03You say you can keep your word...

0:43:03 > 0:43:06Then that's all this is - your fear I'll talk about James.

0:43:06 > 0:43:08Frankly, yes.

0:43:08 > 0:43:11That is a very generous offer. You would be a fool not to accept.

0:43:11 > 0:43:13And you'd be a fool to think I would.

0:43:19 > 0:43:21Perhaps a larger sum...?

0:43:21 > 0:43:24I won't be bought, Mrs Bligh.

0:43:25 > 0:43:28I've been told what to do before. I've been forced.

0:43:29 > 0:43:32And I promised myself never again.

0:43:33 > 0:43:35Thank you for helping me make up my mind.

0:43:37 > 0:43:39You'd stay just to spite me?

0:43:39 > 0:43:41I'll stay because my choices are mine, not yours.

0:43:50 > 0:43:52Then we shall see.

0:43:52 > 0:43:53We shall.
