0:00:02 > 0:00:05Are you still worried about the risk? My aunt in Sydney will help us.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07- Marry me.- I will.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09I will marry you.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12This isn't about the church. I'm your child.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15Take your Jew name and go. I have no daughter.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Go!
0:00:17 > 0:00:21I never want to be reminded of that hypocritical day
0:00:21 > 0:00:24I married the man who loves my brother.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28And I will respect the need to keep this between we three.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31But I will never respect you again.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44- Did you hear the early morning news, George?- No, I didn't.
0:00:44 > 0:00:49- They've delayed the atomic test at Emu Field.- Did they say why?
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Something to do with the direction of the prevailing winds.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56I trust you slept well, dear?
0:00:58 > 0:01:01- Yes, thank you. - Mm-hm. Rest and relaxation.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Quite the tonic.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05- James?- Yes.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06Good.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Does no-one else see a problem here?
0:01:11 > 0:01:13They're not letting off a bomb because they're worried
0:01:13 > 0:01:16that the wind will blow the radiation over populated areas.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- Should they be letting it off at all?- It's important we test.- Why?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22The atom bomb saved a lot of lives by ending the war.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24And how many more lives will it take in the future?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Plenty, if the Russians use it.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29So we let the British test their bombs here? Rule Britannia.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32And long may it rule.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36George was something of a red-ragger himself at Anna's age.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40- I was not.- Certainly a lot less conservative than you are now.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44I hate to think what you'll be saying
0:01:44 > 0:01:46after a few days with your aunt.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48I'm sure Carolyn will be far too busy taking you to South Pacific
0:01:48 > 0:01:50to talk politics.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53A musical play about a French planter
0:01:53 > 0:01:56who has half-caste children to a native woman
0:01:56 > 0:01:58and now wants to marry a nice white girl?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01I'd say that was political in itself.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06I'd like to come to the city with you.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- When?- Today.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13The long journey back and forth - you have a baby to think of.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16And Aunt Carolyn only has the one extra room.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19You two could bunk in together.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20If you want to go, you go.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22James, you don't mind, do you?
0:02:23 > 0:02:24No.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- Settled. The break will do you good. - George...
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Yes.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43I thought you left already.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Soon.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Olivia's decided to come.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Oh!
0:02:49 > 0:02:53The whole reason for going is to ask Aunt Carolyn about precautions.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55How can I do that with her there?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57- It should be up to me.- No.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00The man should do it.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03If you go into a chemist asking, it'll be all around town.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06And who have you been seen with?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Might as well hand Doris Collins a loud-hailer.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12It'll be worse if Olivia finds out.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I'll just have to find a way to get rid of her for long enough.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Anna, I still think I'll save you the trip.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- I go in there...- Gino.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21This is the only way.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24OK?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Who's a beautiful Sarah, then?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Careful. People will start saying you've gone soft.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Oh, Jack, I've delivered lambs, calves, foals, pups, kittens,
0:03:33 > 0:03:34but never a baby.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Let them.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Eve's saying you and Sarah agreed to be godparents.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Illegitimate in a country town.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44She'll need all the protectors she can get.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46We're just admiring your namesake.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48I've had a phone call from my aunt.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52My mother's in a very bad way and she's asking for me.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- Take whatever time you need. We can cover.- Thank you.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57I'll take the afternoon train.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01She needs changing.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Whew, yes, you do.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09I'll give Colin Walker his insulin shot on the way home.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11- I can manage the rest. - My dailies are marked.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14And the list for each individual day is in the top drawer.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- OK, scoot. - I'll be back as soon as possible.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Sarah? I'm heading up to the city in an hour or so,
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- if you'd like a lift.- Are you sure? - Quicker than the train.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Thank you. - I'll pick you up at 12:00, then.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- He's a friend.- Hm.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- You're not escaping.- If I were escaping, I'd be on a boat home.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Because I thought we'd faced our problem and we're dealing with it.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Our problem?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46All right, mine.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47I have married a man who is...
0:04:49 > 0:04:51..not like other men,
0:04:51 > 0:04:53and I have to find a way to come to terms with that.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I love you.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04When I get back, I may want separate bedrooms.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09That may raise questions.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11We can say it's because of the baby.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15I get too hot. I move around. I can't sleep.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Right.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21I am doing this to help us. I need time away to think.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23As long as you keep it to yourself.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26I have said I will.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Are my seams straight?
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- I could do that.- You'd have to learn how to test for glucose in the urine
0:05:42 > 0:05:45and sterilise the equipment, but it's not hard.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- You taught Eve?- I offered, but she's terrified of needles.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Always was a sook.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Very brave sook the other day.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52All done.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- What do you say?- Thank you.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- No sign of Bert?- He knows better than to show his face around here.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Plus, our brother's arriving to help out.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Tough, is he? - A bit of a softie.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11But Bert doesn't have to know that.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Sister, I got the wrong impression of you
0:06:20 > 0:06:22from things said at the house.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24You can't please everyone.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Yes, well, I can't thank you enough. For everything.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31And agreeing to stand up with Mr Bligh as godparent...
0:06:31 > 0:06:33It's an honour.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35He thinks the world of you, you know?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- I've got to get home to pack. - He really does.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I've never heard him talk about another woman like it.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43Except his wife, of course.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Well, I've got him fooled.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52KNOCK AT DOOR
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Yes?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Yes?
0:06:59 > 0:07:03I'd much rather you didn't go to the city. Not today.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05It's a good chance to get to know Carolyn better.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13George is not stupid. He's going to notice.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16I need to get out of this house.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18And I need to say something to you and James
0:07:18 > 0:07:20which requires absolute privacy.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25- No.- George and Anna's absence will give us that.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Not many people have ever said no to you, have they?
0:07:32 > 0:07:33As it happens.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Well, I am.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Olivia, this is not a ruse.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45What I have to say to you is of the utmost importance.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49I'll wait downstairs for your answer.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I'm begging you.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56Something I rarely do.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- Don't crush them.- I know how to put a suitcase in a boot.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- Just helping.- Don't help.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- Are you intending to go dressed like that?- Yes.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23No hat, no gloves?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Look at Olivia. That's how a lady dresses for the city.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- I've got a hat and gloves in my bag.- Suitcase.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31And if I asked to see them?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34It's already packed. Right at the bottom, isn't that right, James?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39I'll leave you to Carolyn to sort out when you get there.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42She might be able to lend you a French beret or some jazz garters.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Is that all?
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Is it, dear?
0:08:52 > 0:08:57Actually, I'm not feeling terribly well. I think I'd best stay.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Eminently sensible.- It's horrible travelling when you're sick.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- Are you sure?- Yes.- Well, you can always come next time.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- Get your things out, then? - Definitely?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- Absolutely. - Aunt Carolyn will understand.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14You look after yourself. James, you keep an eye on her.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Call me if you'd like something brought back.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Give my love to Carolyn.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21I'll be sure to ask her about jazz garters.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32I'd like to speak to you both in the sitting room.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Olivia has stayed at my request.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43It was good of Carla to step into Amy's shoes.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45It was, wasn't it?
0:09:45 > 0:09:50Gino's convinced they'll make a success of their winemaking one day.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52It's not a very economical use of the land.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- If anyone can do it, he can. - Yeah, he's a good lad.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57So you like him?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Of course I do.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04He'll make someone a good husband one day. What?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06You and your romantic novels.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12This isn't the way to the main road.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15We're on a secret mission. Not a word to your grandmother.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24This is breaking the silence of decades.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28A silence I never thought I'd break.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Your grandfather enjoyed male company.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37At the time, it didn't seem unusual.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Men and women led separate lives.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Women, their households and families.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Men, their work, clubs, sports.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49My husband was like that. A man's man.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57I was a young bride and naive,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00but certain incidents made me realise
0:11:00 > 0:11:04that some of his friendships were more than just that.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10And when I arrived in England last year...
0:11:11 > 0:11:13..and I saw James and your brother...
0:11:16 > 0:11:17..there was my husband.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23You must have wondered why I understood what I saw.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25I'd seen it before.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30These...incidents...
0:11:30 > 0:11:34No. The reason I'm taking you into my confidence
0:11:34 > 0:11:40is to say to you that your marriage, like mine, can be made to work.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45James's nature is James's nature,
0:11:45 > 0:11:49but clearly part of it allows him to father a child.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55As my dear husband could.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58We made a marriage together.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01It took work.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05It involved pain...
0:12:07 > 0:12:11..compromise, but all marriages do.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16We found our own happiness.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21It has been done before. It can be done again.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25You should have told me.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29It would have helped.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Perhaps.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37I've said my say. I think further discussion is between you.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Unless you have something to say.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42Not yet.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Does Father know?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49And never will.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18I always thought I was the freak of the family.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21She always talked about him so warmly.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Never a bad word.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26What now?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Do as they did.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39She lived it and she doomed me to it.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Part of me hates her.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46- That's not fair.- Isn't it?
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Did all those years of compromise make her what she is?
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Because I don't want to end up like her.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22I know how hard that must have been.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Was it worthwhile? Or has she fled to pack?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27No.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32I did what I thought was needed, what I hope was right.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35We may be needing separate bedrooms.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Your grandfather and I had a similar arrangement.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41You'll think of something to say to the family.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48I'd best...
0:14:59 > 0:15:01You grew up here?
0:15:01 > 0:15:04It's not Ash Park, but it wasn't so bad.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06- I raised a snob.- I'm not.
0:15:06 > 0:15:07I'm teasing.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13- Auntie Peg. How is she? - I'm glad you're here, love.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15This is Mr Bligh and his daughter, Anna.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18How do you do? I've heard a lot about you.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20You've been very kind to Bridget.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Uh, Sarah...
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- Thank you. - She's given as good as she's got.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Now, if you need a lift back, leave a message at the Union Club.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- That's where I'm staying. - Thank you.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35- And good luck with your mother. Thank you.- Good... Goodbye.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- She called her Bridget.- I noticed.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Well, here's this woman who has a superb seat on a horse,
0:15:46 > 0:15:48can handle a shotgun like a soldier,
0:15:48 > 0:15:51speaks all these different languages and she can down that horrible Bert.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54All going to prove she's a Russian secret agent?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56And she's changed her name.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Surely you want to know the whole story?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01And she might tell me, one day.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04But I'm not going to cross-examine her. And nor will you.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09She's drifting in and out of consciousness.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13When she's awake, she's desperate to see you.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Pulse is faint.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35When did the doctor see her last?
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- This morning. - He didn't suggest hospital?
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Nothing to be done, he said.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42I told him you're a nurse.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47And she wanted to stay.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54I like that outfit.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Let me guess. You had to battle Mother over it.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58Yes.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02God love her. She never changes.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Hold this. Don't drop it or you'll see a grown woman cry.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Gin, vermouth and olives.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09To quote the divine Miss Parker,
0:17:09 > 0:17:13"I do like a dry martini, one or two at the most.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15"Three, I'm under the table, four, I'm under the host."
0:17:18 > 0:17:20You'll love South Pacific.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22And afterwards, we'll go backstage
0:17:22 > 0:17:24and I'll introduce you to some friends in the chorus.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Her virtue will be entirely safe in their company, George.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Though I'd not vouch for yours.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33I won't stay. We're here a few days, so we've got plenty of time.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35A little bird has told me
0:17:35 > 0:17:38that Mother's been dangling Andrew Swanson in front of you.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Throwing him in my face is more like it.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Don't marry him.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45His mother's barely tolerable and his father is a monster.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49- Sir Henry's all right.- Takes more than a visit to Buckingham Palace
0:17:49 > 0:17:52and a whack on the shoulder with a sword to cure that sort.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53Anna's to have nothing to do with them.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56I'm having dinner with him at the club this evening.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Ask him if his Double Bay mistress is enjoying her new flat.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04Hear no evil. Don't lead her astray. Don't be led astray.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Bye.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Now, girl, I'm very happy to take you to the theatre,
0:18:11 > 0:18:13but what's this trip really about?
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- Bridget? Is that you? - Yes, Mum, yes.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- I've sinned terribly.- No, no.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33You have to help me find absolution.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Auntie Peg?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Oh, yes, dear?
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Parish priest?- Father Pat.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Now. And the doctor.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46Yes.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- Let me die in God's glory. Don't let me die damned.- Mum.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55You're the only one that can save my soul.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59I promised you to Him.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03But you became one of them that took his Son.
0:19:05 > 0:19:11Return to Him before I go or I'll-I'll die...
0:19:11 > 0:19:14I'll burn... I'll burn in hell for ever.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Shh. Shh. Shh.
0:19:26 > 0:19:31So, you and this young man of yours are...how shall I put it?
0:19:31 > 0:19:35- At it like knives? - We've made love, yes.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- Has he asked you to marry him?- Yes.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Has he spoken to your father?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45We... We have to work towards that.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51That is so sweet.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- So George would find him unsuitable? - And Grandmother.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59She finds most of the world unsuitable.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01We're in love. And we're lovers.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05And we can't stop and we will get married, but not yet,
0:20:05 > 0:20:07and...I need birth control.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11You've got to help me.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- I see.- Please?
0:20:14 > 0:20:19- I don't imagine there's any point in our discussing this?- None.
0:20:19 > 0:20:24If I suggested you stop until you're safely married?
0:20:24 > 0:20:30It's something beautiful. Try to understand.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Never fear, my doctor is a woman, not some ghastly old man.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37I'll make an appointment.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Ego te absolvo ab omnibus peccatis et censuris,
0:20:47 > 0:20:55in nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56Amen.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Blessed art thou amongst women
0:21:33 > 0:21:34and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now
0:21:36 > 0:21:39and at the hour of our death. Amen.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now
0:21:47 > 0:21:49and at the hour of our death. Amen.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Hail, Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with thee.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now
0:21:57 > 0:22:00and at the hour of our death. Amen.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now
0:22:09 > 0:22:12and at the hour of our death. Amen.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Oh, my darling girl.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- Let it out. Let it out. - It's just...
0:22:29 > 0:22:31I know, I know.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36You're crying for what should have been, not what is.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Poor, sad Grace.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Oh, my love.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53That was wonderful. Such a beautiful story!
0:22:53 > 0:22:55- Thank you.- The pleasure was mine.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57- A nightcap?- No, not for me.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00That song where Lieutenant Cable says
0:23:00 > 0:23:02we're taught to hate people who are different...
0:23:02 > 0:23:03There's a lot of truth in that.
0:23:03 > 0:23:08Have you ever been in love with anyone...different?
0:23:08 > 0:23:09Oh, you're referring, of course,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12to my long line of Negro and Asiatic lovers.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- Ha! - Or are you talking about yourself?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18He's Italian.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Oh, boy.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Mother hinted on the phone that George is falling for a Jewess.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30And now her granddaughter's falling for a dago.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- Catholic, I assume.- Yes.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Well, I wish I could be more optimistic for you,
0:23:38 > 0:23:40but I'm not going to lie. Mother will explode.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44I know.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48Perhaps I will have one of those.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Slip into your nightie and I'll have it waiting for you.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07How is your son?
0:24:07 > 0:24:11I wouldn't put too much store on my wife's matchmaking.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- Anna knows her own mind.- Quite.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Things will...take their course.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Now, the matter I wanted to...
0:24:20 > 0:24:22to talk about.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23It's delicate.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- Your wife.- Elaine?
0:24:26 > 0:24:29I understand she was killed when the Japanese first bombed Darwin.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- Yes.- Well, since they opened their embassy earlier this year,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35relations have started to expand.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39- And?- There's a trade delegation coming through.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42And the Government is calling on people it can trust
0:24:42 > 0:24:44to show them what Australia has to offer.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Just because we fought them doesn't mean to say we can't profit by them.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50And you'd like me to...
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Ash Park is close enough to Sydney to make a day trip possible.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55You'd like me to play host?
0:24:55 > 0:24:58To a group of Japanese public servants and businessmen, yes.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Any former bomber pilots among them?
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Nobody would blame you if you refused.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06- Sir Henry.- Ah, Prime Minister!
0:25:06 > 0:25:08A pleasant surprise.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Prime Minister, may I present Mr George Bligh?
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Pleasure to meet you, sir.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Now, George is a grazier, and I'm endeavouring to persuade him
0:25:15 > 0:25:18to assist with the visit of the Japanese delegation.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21They're going to be very important trading partners, Mr Bligh.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Any assistance you might be able to render will be greatly appreciated.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29- I'll certainly consider...- George and I were discussing the atomic test earlier. Any further word on that?
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Need to know, Henry. Russian agents and all that.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37I just hope they manage it before Vice President Nixon arrives next week.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41I'm going to be late. Good to meet you, Mr Bligh.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Don't play that scoundrel for money.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Was trotting out the Prime Minister meant to impress me?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Nobody trots out Robert Menzies.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54But we do want you involved in this.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58The Japanese are no longer our enemies.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Try telling that to the people at Inverness.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04See, I'm not the only one with unhealed memories.
0:26:04 > 0:26:05A message, Mr Bligh.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Thank you.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31SHE RECITES KADDISH
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Love, you've got a visitor.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Coming.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54I got your message.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Oh. I wasn't intending to drag you here.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- If I'm in the way... - No, no, no, it's...
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- It's very kind. - You stop your apologising.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Why don't you make Mr Bligh a nice cup of tea?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- Of course.- The voice of reason.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- Through here.- Night-night, love.
0:27:13 > 0:27:14Goodnight. Goodnight.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Thank you.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- You've earned the truth. - That's up to you.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33It'll help you understand this.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38I had a lot of pressure on me to become a nun.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Auntie Peg sent me to France to visit my father's grave,
0:27:43 > 0:27:45to help me get some perspective away from Mum.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48How old were you?
0:27:49 > 0:27:5019.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53I was standing in Fromelles
0:27:53 > 0:27:55looking at his name on the wall and...
0:27:56 > 0:27:59I just knew I couldn't... I couldn't go back.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04I was crying, and a man asked if he could help.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08His name was Rene Nordmann.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Dr Nordmann.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13And I met him again years later, in Spain.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17I was holding the hand of a dying soldier,
0:28:17 > 0:28:19and I looked up, and there he was.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22It was love at second sight.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30I converted to marry him, and I was dead to my mother from then on.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34And your husband?
0:28:35 > 0:28:37The Nazis.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Sorry.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45So I never became a nun, and Mum...
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Mum, she lived in fear for her soul because of that.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54But I let her die in peace.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Let her believe that I'd returned to the fold.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06It's a lie I can live with.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30I'll see you in the morning.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Goodnight.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38It's time you went upstairs.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Our bed is an ice field.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Then warm it.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49I've done my part, you do yours. And freshen yourself.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52She deserves better than the stench of alcohol.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Still awake?
0:30:15 > 0:30:17The Anniversary Waltz.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Darling...
0:30:20 > 0:30:24Either I put it in a drawer and we play it every year...
0:30:25 > 0:30:29..for as many years as we have, or I smash it.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33That would mean our marriage is over.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Which is it to be?
0:30:36 > 0:30:40I don't... I don't want us to end.
0:31:06 > 0:31:07Then prove it.
0:31:11 > 0:31:12Now.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11I missed you both at breakfast.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15I trust that means things are settling.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21We're working on our marriage. Which is what you wanted.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24All marriages require effort.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Some more than others.
0:32:27 > 0:32:32- James has gone riding. - We both have a lot to consider.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35I do want you to think of me as a friend.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39I told you the truth, as a true friend should.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Oh, Olivia, James loves you now, I know he does.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48How can I believe anything you say?
0:32:49 > 0:32:52- Do you doubt my motives?- Yes.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58Do you honestly think I would break the silence of decades
0:32:58 > 0:33:02for anything but the best of reasons?
0:33:02 > 0:33:07You've shown you'll do anything to protect the family, so perhaps.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11There has never been a divorce in this family
0:33:11 > 0:33:13and there never will be.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16You have lost the right to even try to dictate to me!
0:33:19 > 0:33:24The way you endured your own marriage was brave, noble even.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30But you knew first-hand about James's nature
0:33:30 > 0:33:32and you didn't speak.
0:33:32 > 0:33:37And when I think of the poor girl marrying my brother, I could weep.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39We're both trapped.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Oh!
0:33:56 > 0:33:57Oh!
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Mr James!
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Gino.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29What are you doing here?
0:34:29 > 0:34:32I come here to...think.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Sometimes.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38I've never seen you here before.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44I...needed to think too.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Ah.
0:34:49 > 0:34:53Well, I won't disturb you.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Anna is in the city.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00- Yes.- Have you heard from her?
0:35:00 > 0:35:01What?
0:35:01 > 0:35:03No.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07I saw her... Ran in to her, yeah.
0:35:15 > 0:35:16I'll go.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10You'll be fine.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12A contraceptive diaphragm.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15It physically blocks the semen.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19And the spermicide you smear on it also has an effect.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23Like any contraceptive, it's not 100% effective,
0:36:23 > 0:36:26but at the moment, it's the best we've got.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29Hm! It's a shame you can't just take a pill.
0:36:29 > 0:36:30For the moment,
0:36:30 > 0:36:34the only pill that works is the one that you hold between your knees.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Knees up.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41We need to make sure it will fit properly.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Legs apart.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47Have you ever had an internal examination?
0:36:47 > 0:36:48No.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51They can be a little bit unpleasant.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Just try to relax.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Deep breath in.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03And breathe out.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10Just try to relax. Probably feels a little bit cold.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12It will be over soon, don't worry.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14If you wiggle about, it can pinch.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Try to stay still.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19That's it.
0:37:19 > 0:37:20Deep breaths.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30'Here is the news from the ABC read by Michael Eisdell.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33'The first nuclear test on Australian soil
0:37:33 > 0:37:35'has taken place at Emu Flats.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38'The Russians ask the UN Security Council
0:37:38 > 0:37:41'to overrule the British and American decisions on Trieste...'
0:37:41 > 0:37:42Turn it off.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45'..Holland gets its first three female police officers...'
0:37:45 > 0:37:49Oh, atom bombs, the Cold War, women police.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52Hm! Sometimes I wonder what the world's coming to.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59- Does that mean I'm getting old? - You are not old.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05Two world wars, a Depression,
0:38:05 > 0:38:08four Kings, two Queens. I'm...
0:38:10 > 0:38:12- I'm so tired of change.- Me also.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14No, thank you.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Mr Bligh and Miss Anna will be back with us today.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Yes.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36It was good of you to stay for the funeral.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38I wanted to.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43It feels like a new start.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46You do seem to have resolved a lot.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48A lot.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51And I'm home.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54That's the first time I've heard you use that word
0:38:54 > 0:38:56- in relation to Inverness.- That's how I feel now.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Good.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02I'd like to take you on a picnic tomorrow. Just the two of us.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- I'm... I'm working. - I can work around your lunch hour.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08- You have to eat. - Aren't you sick of me?
0:39:08 > 0:39:09Never.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13I'd like that.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Thank you.
0:39:18 > 0:39:19For everything.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Oh, I missed you so much!
0:39:38 > 0:39:40Ohhh!
0:39:42 > 0:39:45I came each day hoping you'd be back.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47I've got everything we need to be safe.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50- Well, did your auntie understand? - She could see how much I love you.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52I thought about you all the time.
0:39:54 > 0:39:55I thought about a lot of things.
0:39:55 > 0:40:00When I went to the doctor, I was lying there, and it was so horrible,
0:40:00 > 0:40:02and it made me feel dirty in some way.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05And I don't want to feel like that.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09This isn't wrong, not if we're honest with everyone.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Are you sure?
0:40:12 > 0:40:16This ring should be on my finger, not hidden as if I'm ashamed of it.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20- I want you to wear it. - I want to wear it.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22I want you to.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26We'll have to be strong.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29We will be.
0:40:41 > 0:40:42Amy.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Hello, sir!
0:40:46 > 0:40:48What's the news with your sister?
0:40:48 > 0:40:51She'll be in there a while yet. Bert did a right job on her back.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53What can I be doing for you?
0:40:53 > 0:40:56I just came over to see if there's anything I can do to help.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00Really? That's much appreciated.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02I know my brother could use a hand.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Hey, lazybones!
0:41:04 > 0:41:05Come and see who's here!
0:41:07 > 0:41:09You remember Harry?
0:41:11 > 0:41:12Hello, James.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24Anything particular I missed while I was away?
0:41:24 > 0:41:25No.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Anything particular that I missed?
0:41:28 > 0:41:30No.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33- It's good to have you back. - It's good to be back.
0:41:35 > 0:41:36George.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40- You stayed longer than anticipated. - Yes.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46I'm sure you had your reasons.
0:41:46 > 0:41:47I did.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51I won't be long. I'll just give the place a once-over.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08GASPS FOR BREATH
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Uh. Help me.
