0:00:02 > 0:00:04KNOCK AT DOOR Just a tick!
0:00:04 > 0:00:05I can't. I'm sorry.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07- I'm sorry.- Jack?
0:00:10 > 0:00:14Anna Bligh, would you do me the honour...
0:00:14 > 0:00:15I'm engaged!
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Keep it.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19- ANNA:- I won't change my mind.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24You've been very good today, haven't you, little one?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27No kicking to disturb Mummy.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29I know what you're doing.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33And I've told George the worst that can possibly be told.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Nothing Regina unearths can hurt us if we weather this.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37I don't care what it costs.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Find something that will rid us of her forever.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52ALL: Three, two, one!
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Happy New Year!
0:00:59 > 0:01:00Happy New Year.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Happy New Year.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Well, thank you, and for coming tonight.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08You seemed to enjoy yourself.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11A brave face is a requirement lately.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15He does make her happy, you know.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20George, Miss Adams? James, Olivia? Young Poletti, Anna?
0:01:20 > 0:01:24The choices do rather highlight my need for a fixed smile.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Gino and Anna.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29I can't share your optimism.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33What about you? What does 1954 hold for you?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Well, life goes on.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39The thing about wearing a mask
0:01:39 > 0:01:42is that you recognise one when you see one.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Good luck with whatever it is.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Happy New Year. Good night.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54ANNA LAUGHS
0:01:54 > 0:01:57JACK: Well, watch out when you come into town.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58Doris is busting to congratulate you.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Oh, I think it's sweet she's so excited.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Yeah, once she got over the shock
0:02:02 > 0:02:04of Italian lessons leading to an engagement ring.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06What about her shock at your tales of the party?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08'Night.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Happy New Year.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- Did you notice?- What?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Whenever I mentioned Carolyn or the party,
0:02:16 > 0:02:21it either went very well and he's too shy to talk about it, or very...
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Or he thinks it's no-one's business, Doris.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25SHE GASPS
0:02:25 > 0:02:28I want romance. I want him in the family.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30I'm making it my business.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32LANGUID MUSIC PLAYS
0:02:32 > 0:02:35CHATTER AND LAUGHTER
0:02:39 > 0:02:43# I can see
0:02:43 > 0:02:48# No matter how near you'll be
0:02:48 > 0:02:54# You'll never belong to me
0:02:56 > 0:03:01# But I can dream, can't I?
0:03:01 > 0:03:07# Can't I pretend that I'm locked in the bend
0:03:07 > 0:03:08# Of your embrace? #
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- I was thinking...- Mm-hm?
0:03:11 > 0:03:15My summer wardrobe's looking a little sparse.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18I might pop up to the city.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- I'm not sure I'm ready for crowds.- That's all right.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29You've much better things to do than watch me shopping, anyway.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Well, how about you take Anna?
0:03:34 > 0:03:37I think I'd enjoy a day alone.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I may even drive.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45What's this, the new independent you?
0:03:45 > 0:03:50My driving skills will ossify if I'm not careful.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Well, it's our car, it's our money.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Feel free to use them both.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03You will be sorry you said that.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Just drive safely.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Good night.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12You too, little one.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Oh...
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Have you slept?- Oh, barely.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- You?- Soon.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Oh.
0:04:41 > 0:04:48Oh, 1953, my annus horribilis, gone.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- On a river of champagne.- It helped.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Look who's made the New Year's Honours list.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- A friend of yours, no less.- Really?
0:04:58 > 0:04:59SHE GASPS
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Dame Pattie!
0:05:02 > 0:05:06That bash, the one you promised to throw for Elizabeth Bligh,
0:05:06 > 0:05:08if you want something a secret,
0:05:08 > 0:05:10I suggest you keep your voice down while discussing it.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Rather plays into my plans too.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20The telephone, ma'am. Lady Swanson.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Oh, thank you, Amy.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- Prudence, Happy New Year.- And to you.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33- How's Andrew?- Well, nursing his wounds.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Have you seen this morning's Herald?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Pattie Menzies is now Dame Pattie.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Oh, how lovely!
0:05:40 > 0:05:43I suspect there's benefit in it for you.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- The party?- Oh.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47I rather assumed that Anna's behaviour
0:05:47 > 0:05:49had forfeited me any chance of a favour.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Oh, my dear, that's between the young ones.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Now, George can hardly refuse an invitation
0:05:55 > 0:05:58to congratulate the Prime Minister's wife.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59If you're sure...
0:05:59 > 0:06:04Well, I restore my social bona fides and you destroy the Jew's.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Well, sooner is better under the circumstances.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Mm-hm, then soonest is best. Within the fortnight, then?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I'll send out invitations immediately.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- I can't thank you enough. - It's nothing.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Bye-bye.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Don't make me regret this.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Oh, you didn't wait.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29My apologies.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Miss Adams not joining us?- I dropped her at work.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Well, that's why we have Norman.- It's a labour of love.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- You old romantic.- And proud to be so.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Olivia's off to the city on Monday if there's anything you require.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46My summer wardrobe needs replenishing.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Well, you must buy something very special
0:06:49 > 0:06:51for the Swansons' garden party.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Pattie Menzies has been made a dame. - Ah.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Oh.- Dame Pattie.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Prudence is hosting a celebration.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02We're all invited, and after Anna's disgraceful antics
0:07:02 > 0:07:06no-one, George, will add insult to injury by declining.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Nor you by accepting.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10I'm surprised I'm even included.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Some people know the meaning of the word courtesy.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17And naturally Prudence included Miss Adams in the invitation.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Amy, this oatmeal's a little underdone this morning.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Jack.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33You're back.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Someone had to break the impasse.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- I've given you a week.- I've been busy.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42I accept that our situation is complex,
0:07:42 > 0:07:44but my kisses aren't that repulsive.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- I have a patient.- Unless they're dying...
0:07:48 > 0:07:50You were ashen when you fled.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52The party can't have horrified you that much.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- Of course not.- So it's not the differences in our worlds?
0:07:56 > 0:07:57No.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- Whatever the problem is...- I can't say.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- Why not?- I just can't.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04It's private.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Don't tell me James isn't the only one.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08That's not even funny.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I'm just trying to make sense of this.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Clearly you want me and at the last minute you rush from the room
0:08:14 > 0:08:16You owe me some sort of explanation.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22I can't.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25It's too personal.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29I see.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36I am falling in love with you all over again, Jack.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39I've fallen. There, it's said.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Right.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45We're too old to be coy. You feel it too.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Course I do.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I'll be back Monday.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57I hope you're ready to trust.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- Happy New Year.- Oh!
0:09:38 > 0:09:42We announce ourselves in polite society.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Welcome home.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- Tea?- Later.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51I thought you'd had your fill of the bucolic life.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54I'd like to move down here for an indefinite period,
0:09:54 > 0:09:55take over the cottage.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59I'd like that very much. But I insist you stay here.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01The cottage is best.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04I've developed feelings for Jack
0:10:04 > 0:10:06and I'd like a private space in which to explore them.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- Jack Duncan?- Yes.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16This is very sudden.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Love often is.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26And it is love.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28And that's why I want to be here.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Many a woman has tried with him and failed.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- They weren't the right woman.- Oh, Carolyn, he's a country doctor.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Your existence is...
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I'm a lot more at home with a good book
0:10:38 > 0:10:40than hanging from the chandelier of late.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Some consolation.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47I don't want to sneak around behind your back.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49For that I thank you.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52I'll take possession Monday.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57I'd rather you stayed well out of it.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00I will say one thing.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06If this might possibly be a whim, walk away. Now.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08He deserves better than a broken heart.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Was it...anything that I did?
0:11:24 > 0:11:29Looking for cause is pointless. It only adds to the sorrow.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- There's no doubt?- No. I'm sorry, Mrs Bligh.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39My baby...
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Is there someone I can contact, someone to collect you?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46No. No-one must know of this.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Your husband, surely.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53I want to tell him myself.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56In my own time.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Thank you for your concern, but I will manage.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04It won't be easy carrying your dead child to term.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07You'll need all the support your loved ones can give you.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Time enough to grieve together when the baby is born.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Don't add secrecy to your burden.
0:12:13 > 0:12:18I expect your discretion until I say otherwise.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20I'm obliged to give it.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23I do so reluctantly.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Thank you.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27She's just outside. I won't be a moment.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Oh, the operator has Mrs Standish in Paris on the line.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Would you like to talk while I fetch Mrs Bligh?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Oh, there's no need for Mrs Bligh.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36- Oh, she asked...- Thank you, Amy.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Put Mrs Standish through, operator.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- Regina.- George.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49What a pleasant surprise.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52So, have you discovered anything?
0:13:53 > 0:13:55It seemed important to your mother
0:13:55 > 0:13:57to be sure of Miss Adams' background.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- It's none of your business. - There are things...
0:14:01 > 0:14:04If you want to be welcome at Ash Park, you'll stop. Now.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- There are matters that...- Don't.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08And don't telephone again.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I insist you avoid any attempts by Mother to contact you.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- George...- Unless you...
0:14:13 > 0:14:15want to lose my friendship forever.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19- Well, I'd die rather than risk that. - Good.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33The Thomas Cook desk.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35I wish to book a plane journey to Australia.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39So I am to be forbidden communication now?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I will not have you making mischief.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44I have done nothing that I did not consider necessary.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47That justification is becoming very stale.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01You sure you're ready for that?
0:15:03 > 0:15:05It's good to use my body again.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Doing is good. Overdoing isn't.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- This party...- What about it?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Don't feel badgered into going.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Ah.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Yeah, I'll...I'll decide on the day.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Same goes for you.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25George Bligh's Jewish nurse - the knives will be sharpened.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27I'm well up to the challenge.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Hello?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Anyone home?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Yoo-hoo!
0:15:39 > 0:15:45I was doing my rounds and I thought, "Oh, that's Miss Anna's horse!
0:15:45 > 0:15:49"I must let her know how thrilled we all are."
0:15:49 > 0:15:50Oh, I'm all a-puff.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- May I?- Oh.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57I can? Oh, how charming, yet so discreet.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02One understands, given that Gino ekes a living from the land.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05I can't imagine a better ring.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08As I said to Mr Collins the day he proposed,
0:16:08 > 0:16:12"It's not what you spend, it's what you feel."
0:16:12 > 0:16:15First your father and Miss Adams, now you.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16Yes.
0:16:16 > 0:16:21Even the intimacy between your grandmother and myself.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25One hears the social barriers tumbling.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27And who knows, perhaps even between
0:16:27 > 0:16:30a country doctor and a glamorous woman of the world, hmm?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Who knows?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I'm not back to badger you for answers.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Good.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41I told Mother I love you.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45How'd she take that?
0:16:45 > 0:16:49If she hasn't talked to you, obviously as well as I thought.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51But that's not the point.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57Do you think I would have braved her if I truly didn't want you?
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Whatever there is to tell, you'll tell in your own good time.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12And I promise I won't let you down.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Wait.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27You said at your party that
0:17:27 > 0:17:30any woman deserved better than a compromise.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Testosterone.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Injected twice a week for the last eight years.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Manhood in a syringe.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Japs took mine.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Tortured me and smashed them between two stones.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Still keen?
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- I shouldn't have told you.- Please.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21- I don't want pity.- It's not pity!
0:18:21 > 0:18:22- Isn't it?- No.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26- I'm no bloody use to a woman. - That's pity.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28That's self-pity.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30This is...
0:18:31 > 0:18:32..is sorrow.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36It's pain. It's love.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Love me.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31JAMES: This is where I kissed Harry.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36OLIVIA: Then how do we proceed?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39JAMES: As husband and wife.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41As parents.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45SHE SOBS
0:20:28 > 0:20:29JAMES: You're home early.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Hope that's good news for my wallet.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37I restrained my worst impulses.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41I'm desperate for a cup of tea.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45How are you? How is everyone?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Let me know when the caterers arrive.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Oh, keep an eye on Cook with the champagne.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Yes, ma'am.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Top it up with the champagne.- Oh, must you?
0:21:04 > 0:21:08I need an early start if I'm to deal with the bores you've invited.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10You're up to something.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13That is rather the pot calling the kettle black.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Well, we'd best not dally if we're to be punctual.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Now, James, are you sure you're feeling up to this?
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Have to face the world sometime. - Excellent.
0:21:22 > 0:21:249:30, in the sitting room?
0:21:24 > 0:21:30- Ooh, synchronise watches. Attention. - ELIZABETH: I heard that, miss.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34I am so lucky to have a leave pass.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39- You're awfully quiet, Olivia.- Am I? - Oh.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43Our first appearance in Sydney society together.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Lavender and lace and boring small talk.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Are you sure about this?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51The way Anna describes it, who could resist?
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- You just want an excuse not to go.- How did you guess?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Excuse me.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Well, I for one am looking forward to it.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Remind him he said that
0:22:01 > 0:22:04when he's being bored witless by dreary society dames.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06We might be pleasantly surprised.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12And you have a lovely day at home.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Is it just me or has Olivia been odd?
0:22:15 > 0:22:19She's had this strange fixed smile on all week.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22She has a lot on her mind.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Their problem's not one that's solved overnight.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26I suppose it is that.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Do you think they'll divorce?
0:22:31 > 0:22:34I think she'll do anything to make sure they don't.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37I'd be thoughtful in her shoes too.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Part of me wanted to say absolutely not,
0:22:45 > 0:22:49but I can't lock myself away forever.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52I do worry about my memory.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55The treatment's left me with some blanks.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00I hope I don't run into somebody I know and just stare at them.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Are you sure you want to go?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Whatever's right for you.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Hey.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Are you positive?
0:23:24 > 0:23:26James...
0:23:26 > 0:23:29You can't do it, can you?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- I mean, us.- No.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34No, of course I can. We can.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Then what?
0:23:42 > 0:23:45We will make it work.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48The three of us.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51What?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55I'm sorry.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01We will step out as a family.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05I'd like that.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16- You've got that look in your eye.- What look?
0:24:16 > 0:24:20You've never been one to allow a slight to go unpunished.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22I agree what Anna did to you is outrageous,
0:24:22 > 0:24:25but try to avoid your baser instincts.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26Of course, Mother.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30We couldn't have Dame Elizabeth unsettled, could we?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32What's it to do with Elizabeth?
0:24:32 > 0:24:35She put me in a position to be humiliated.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37It's unfair to blame others.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39The girl was simply being foolish.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42She knew exactly what she was doing and she sniggered while she did it.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Well, it's a good thing she declined the invitation, then.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Yes.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51What are your intentions?
0:24:51 > 0:24:55As yours. To be the perfect host.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- Ah.- Go easy with that.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Don't fret, Mother.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02To us.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Ah, Miss Adams, more than punctual.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11I wanted a moment alone.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Today is obviously designed to see me out of my depth.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Well, I'm sure you'll make of it
0:25:16 > 0:25:18whatever your social skills will allow.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21I will.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25If Regina's already discovered this, I apologise for the repetition.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30My husband was well connected in Parisian literary circles.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Gide and Malraux were our friends. We mixed in all manner of society.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37If you spent less time fighting me and more time knowing me,
0:25:37 > 0:25:40you'd know there's nothing today that might throw me off kilter.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47It's a lovely morning.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48I'll wait outside.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51ELEGANT STRING MUSIC PLAYS
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Darling Pattie and I were together at Fintona Girls' of course.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Pattie Leckie she was called then.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Oh, it's Elizabeth Bligh's party.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Her son's brought his working-class Jewess.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Quite the scandal.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Elizabeth darling!
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Oh, and Olivia!
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Mwah!
0:26:22 > 0:26:24James.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27George. This must be your fiancee, I presume.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Sarah Adams.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30Thank you for inviting me, Lady Prudence.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34Lady Swanson. My husband is a knight but I have no title myself.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Oh, you'll capture these social subtleties with time.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41They're becoming increasingly irrelevant, aren't they, with time?
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- She's no wilting violet. - I'll see her out of her depth.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54James and Olivia, there's no need to feel discomfort because of Anna.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58I hope you don't mind my monopolising your lovely wife.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00I need a barrier against
0:27:00 > 0:27:02the simpering eligibles Mother's invited.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07- How have you been since Christmas? - Sir?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Thank you.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11- I couldn't help myself.- She deserved it.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- She was being a snob.- So it seemed.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17It came out in a way I didn't intend.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Some time together perhaps before the guest of honour arrives?
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- Introductions.- Excuse me.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30Although I can't imagine there'd be anyone here that you'd know.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34ANNA: Stop! Stop, stop, stop, stop.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40He's there.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44If they're doing what I think they're doing, let's leave them to it.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47- Maybe they're not.- Maybe they are.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Maybe we should.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Nothing has to happen that you don't feel ready for.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Most men wear trousers. I hide behind them.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12Don't.
0:28:24 > 0:28:25No?
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Yes?
0:28:46 > 0:28:50I wanted this... I dreaded it for years,
0:28:50 > 0:28:53letting someone see.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02I want to give you so much more than I can.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05I want to give you all of myself.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Kiss me.
0:29:33 > 0:29:34Lower.
0:30:20 > 0:30:25This is the first family invitation I've been able to say no to.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27How does that make you feel?
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Free.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Like Anna Poletti.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35- You're still a Bligh.- I'm not the Bligh I thought I was.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39I wonder what my real father's surname is.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Ask your mamma.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Do you think you ever will?
0:30:46 > 0:30:48- Ask about him?- Mmm.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52I didn't want to add to father's burdens.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58But he's happy with us now and he has Sarah.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59He does.
0:31:01 > 0:31:02So?
0:31:04 > 0:31:06So if the party goes well...
0:31:07 > 0:31:10..I'll tell him.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18It's so hard trusting anyone.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22But you did.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29I understand now why it meant so much to you to learn about Anna.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32It's a miracle to me.
0:31:35 > 0:31:36So are you.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40- Was it how you remember?- Being with you?
0:31:40 > 0:31:43- More beautiful.- Hardly.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45To me you are.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49You?
0:31:50 > 0:31:55It's as intense, in a different way.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Yeah.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03I never thought I'd have this again either.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19- How are you bearing up?- I'm fine.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Although I do wonder what all these people would think
0:32:21 > 0:32:23if they knew what I'd just been through.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26I know. That's why I asked.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32- Your wife's been commandeered. - I'm glad she's enjoying herself.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34She's not the only one.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38SPEAKS FRENCH
0:32:40 > 0:32:42SPEAKS FRENCH
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Sarah and I won't be returning with you.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55I thought we'd stay in town for the night to celebrate her success.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59Smugness is most unbecoming, George.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03ALL SPEAK FRENCH
0:33:03 > 0:33:05I separate them into the simpering, the whimpering
0:33:05 > 0:33:07and the just plain desperate.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Whatever Anna was, she was none of those.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17I should get back to James.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19You will, but first...
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Yes?
0:33:28 > 0:33:30I'm going to be presumptuous.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33You've been lying about James
0:33:33 > 0:33:36from the first time I ran into you at the hospital.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40I know a troubled marriage when I see one.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44I want you to know that you can trust me.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47You've only family in Australia, no friends.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50If you ever need a good friend...
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Thank you.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58I'm sorry.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01- I'm not prying.- Oh, I know.
0:34:04 > 0:34:10There is something dreadful I have to tell James.
0:34:12 > 0:34:13I don't know how to.
0:34:13 > 0:34:18I'm...I'm just terrified that...
0:34:20 > 0:34:22..I'll lose him.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25The one thing I salvaged from that debacle with Anna
0:34:25 > 0:34:27is an affection for you.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30Any help in any way.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42It's the baby.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57Dame Pattie, Mr George Bligh.
0:34:57 > 0:34:58Congratulations, Dame Pattie.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01I had the pleasure of meeting Sir Robert last year.
0:35:01 > 0:35:02How nice, young man.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05- I see you've met my fiancee.- She's charming.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07HE SPEAKS FRENCH
0:35:07 > 0:35:09It's a compliment.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12And I concur, Louis.
0:35:12 > 0:35:13I was recently unwell
0:35:13 > 0:35:17and I have nothing but admiration for the nursing profession, Miss Adams.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20- How is your local hospital in...?- Inverness.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22A great change from London, I'm sure.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25Yes, it's quite charming, actually.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Oh, he won't notice I've been crying?
0:35:29 > 0:35:33Just say it's the glare. Nothing you've said goes any further.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35I might steal this one off you, old man,
0:35:35 > 0:35:37now I have no other prospects.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Well, you'll have a fight on your hands.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41I should hope so.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48- You disappeared.- Oh, Andrew needed a shoulder.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Your eyes are red.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54Oh, it's the glare.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58You're spending an awful lot of time with Olivia Bligh.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01She's a very good friend of Anna's.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03I wanted to prove there was no ill feeling.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12- I did my best.- Oh, you did.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15I threw her together with anyone who could raise her hackles
0:36:15 > 0:36:20and she put them in their place as charmingly as she did me.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23And now there's Pattie's seal of approval.
0:36:23 > 0:36:24Yes.
0:36:26 > 0:36:27So?
0:36:27 > 0:36:31I suspect check, if not checkmate.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Well...
0:36:56 > 0:36:57KNOCK AT DOOR
0:36:57 > 0:36:59AMY: Miss Anna?
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Miss?
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Miss?
0:37:08 > 0:37:10I was napping.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Mrs Standish has arrived.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14- She's in Europe.- She's in the sitting room.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- Does she know I'm here? - I said that I wasn't sure.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19You can't find me.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Get dressed.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Shouldn't you at least say hello?
0:37:26 > 0:37:29She'll want to know about Andrew. I'm not in the mood.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35Thank you.
0:37:35 > 0:37:36Is that a car?
0:37:36 > 0:37:41Oh, that's just, uh, one of the workers' vehicles, ma'am.
0:37:41 > 0:37:46- Can I bring you anything else?- No, thank you, dear.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50Before you go, your brother...
0:37:50 > 0:37:54- Yes, ma'am?- And Mr James.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Yes?
0:37:56 > 0:37:59There's no need to feel awkward.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03I'm a woman of the world and privy to all family secrets.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07So tell me, how is the unfortunate matter proceeding?
0:38:12 > 0:38:15The party was a great success for you at least.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17I have rather restored my social credibility.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18Ah, yes. Thank you.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22And you mustn't be a stranger, George.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26- Whenever you're in town. - Thank you for a splendid day.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- It was a pleasure.- Yes, it was.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33- We were both surprised, I think.- I think we were.
0:38:35 > 0:38:40- Lovely to see you so recovered. - It's good to be amongst company.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Oh, and all the very best for your confinement.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46- We had a marvellous time.- Ah. 'Bye, then.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50- Thank you.- Don't tell him.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52- But I...- Not yet.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54I've had a thought.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58I'd love to visit again, once the dust has settled.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00You'd be most welcome.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Say nothing until we've spoken more.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19I apologise for my earlier suspicions.
0:39:19 > 0:39:24- You behaved impeccably.- I did, didn't I?
0:39:28 > 0:39:32# When I fall in love
0:39:34 > 0:39:38# It will be forever
0:39:39 > 0:39:42# Or I'll never
0:39:42 > 0:39:44# Fall
0:39:44 > 0:39:47# In love
0:39:50 > 0:39:54# In a restless world
0:39:54 > 0:39:57# Like this is
0:39:57 > 0:40:02# Love is ended before it's begun
0:40:04 > 0:40:09# And too many moonlight kisses
0:40:09 > 0:40:15# Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
0:40:19 > 0:40:26# And the moment I can feel that
0:40:27 > 0:40:32# You feel that way too
0:40:32 > 0:40:38# Is when I fall in love
0:40:39 > 0:40:44# With you. #
0:40:54 > 0:40:58- You're sure?- Absolutely.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03You'd have known last week if George hadn't forbidden communication.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07- And she has no idea?- None at all.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Isn't it delicious?
0:41:09 > 0:41:11You've won.
