KNOCK AT DOOR Just a tick!

0:00:020:00:04

I can't. I'm sorry.

0:00:040:00:05

-I'm sorry.

-Jack?

0:00:050:00:07

Anna Bligh, would you do me the honour...

0:00:100:00:14

I'm engaged!

0:00:140:00:15

Keep it.

0:00:150:00:17

-ANNA:

-I won't change my mind.

0:00:170:00:19

You've been very good today, haven't you, little one?

0:00:210:00:24

No kicking to disturb Mummy.

0:00:240:00:27

I know what you're doing.

0:00:270:00:29

And I've told George the worst that can possibly be told.

0:00:290:00:33

Nothing Regina unearths can hurt us if we weather this.

0:00:330:00:36

I don't care what it costs.

0:00:360:00:37

Find something that will rid us of her forever.

0:00:370:00:41

ALL: Three, two, one!

0:00:480:00:52

Happy New Year!

0:00:520:00:55

Happy New Year.

0:00:590:01:00

Happy New Year.

0:01:020:01:03

Well, thank you, and for coming tonight.

0:01:030:01:06

You seemed to enjoy yourself.

0:01:060:01:08

A brave face is a requirement lately.

0:01:080:01:11

He does make her happy, you know.

0:01:130:01:15

George, Miss Adams? James, Olivia? Young Poletti, Anna?

0:01:150:01:20

The choices do rather highlight my need for a fixed smile.

0:01:200:01:24

Gino and Anna.

0:01:240:01:27

I can't share your optimism.

0:01:270:01:29

What about you? What does 1954 hold for you?

0:01:290:01:33

Well, life goes on.

0:01:330:01:35

The thing about wearing a mask

0:01:370:01:39

is that you recognise one when you see one.

0:01:390:01:42

Good luck with whatever it is.

0:01:430:01:45

Happy New Year. Good night.

0:01:460:01:48

ANNA LAUGHS

0:01:530:01:54

JACK: Well, watch out when you come into town.

0:01:540:01:57

Doris is busting to congratulate you.

0:01:570:01:58

Oh, I think it's sweet she's so excited.

0:01:580:02:00

Yeah, once she got over the shock

0:02:000:02:02

of Italian lessons leading to an engagement ring.

0:02:020:02:04

What about her shock at your tales of the party?

0:02:040:02:06

'Night.

0:02:060:02:08

Happy New Year.

0:02:080:02:10

-Did you notice?

-What?

0:02:110:02:13

Whenever I mentioned Carolyn or the party,

0:02:130:02:16

it either went very well and he's too shy to talk about it, or very...

0:02:160:02:21

Or he thinks it's no-one's business, Doris.

0:02:210:02:24

SHE GASPS

0:02:240:02:25

I want romance. I want him in the family.

0:02:250:02:28

I'm making it my business.

CHATTER AND LAUGHTER

0:02:320:02:35

# I can see

0:02:390:02:43

# No matter how near you'll be

0:02:430:02:48

# You'll never belong to me

0:02:480:02:54

# But I can dream, can't I?

0:02:560:03:01

# Can't I pretend that I'm locked in the bend

0:03:010:03:07

# Of your embrace? #

0:03:070:03:08

-I was thinking...

-Mm-hm?

0:03:080:03:11

My summer wardrobe's looking a little sparse.

0:03:110:03:15

I might pop up to the city.

0:03:150:03:18

-I'm not sure I'm ready for crowds.

-That's all right.

0:03:210:03:25

You've much better things to do than watch me shopping, anyway.

0:03:250:03:29

Well, how about you take Anna?

0:03:310:03:33

I think I'd enjoy a day alone.

0:03:340:03:37

I may even drive.

0:03:380:03:40

What's this, the new independent you?

0:03:420:03:45

My driving skills will ossify if I'm not careful.

0:03:450:03:50

Well, it's our car, it's our money.

0:03:540:03:58

Feel free to use them both.

0:03:580:04:00

You will be sorry you said that.

0:04:000:04:03

Just drive safely.

0:04:030:04:06

Good night.

0:04:070:04:09

You too, little one.

0:04:100:04:12

Oh...

0:04:310:04:33

-Have you slept?

-Oh, barely.

0:04:340:04:36

-You?

-Soon.

0:04:360:04:38

Oh.

0:04:380:04:41

Oh, 1953, my annus horribilis, gone.

0:04:410:04:48

-On a river of champagne.

-It helped.

0:04:480:04:51

Look who's made the New Year's Honours list.

0:04:510:04:53

-A friend of yours, no less.

-Really?

0:04:530:04:56

SHE GASPS

0:04:580:04:59

Dame Pattie!

0:04:590:05:02

That bash, the one you promised to throw for Elizabeth Bligh,

0:05:020:05:06

if you want something a secret,

0:05:060:05:08

I suggest you keep your voice down while discussing it.

0:05:080:05:10

Rather plays into my plans too.

0:05:120:05:15

The telephone, ma'am. Lady Swanson.

0:05:180:05:20

Oh, thank you, Amy.

0:05:200:05:22

-Prudence, Happy New Year.

-And to you.

0:05:260:05:29

-How's Andrew?

-Well, nursing his wounds.

0:05:290:05:33

Have you seen this morning's Herald?

0:05:330:05:35

Pattie Menzies is now Dame Pattie.

0:05:350:05:38

Oh, how lovely!

0:05:380:05:40

I suspect there's benefit in it for you.

0:05:400:05:43

-The party?

-Oh.

0:05:430:05:45

I rather assumed that Anna's behaviour

0:05:450:05:47

had forfeited me any chance of a favour.

0:05:470:05:49

Oh, my dear, that's between the young ones.

0:05:490:05:52

Now, George can hardly refuse an invitation

0:05:520:05:55

to congratulate the Prime Minister's wife.

0:05:550:05:58

If you're sure...

0:05:580:05:59

Well, I restore my social bona fides and you destroy the Jew's.

0:05:590:06:04

Well, sooner is better under the circumstances.

0:06:040:06:07

Mm-hm, then soonest is best. Within the fortnight, then?

0:06:070:06:10

I'll send out invitations immediately.

0:06:100:06:13

-I can't thank you enough.

-It's nothing.

0:06:130:06:16

Bye-bye.

0:06:160:06:17

Don't make me regret this.

0:06:200:06:22

Oh, you didn't wait.

0:06:260:06:28

My apologies.

0:06:280:06:29

-Miss Adams not joining us?

-I dropped her at work.

0:06:290:06:32

-Well, that's why we have Norman.

-It's a labour of love.

0:06:320:06:35

-You old romantic.

-And proud to be so.

0:06:350:06:39

Olivia's off to the city on Monday if there's anything you require.

0:06:390:06:43

My summer wardrobe needs replenishing.

0:06:430:06:46

Well, you must buy something very special

0:06:460:06:49

for the Swansons' garden party.

0:06:490:06:51

-Pattie Menzies has been made a dame.

-Ah.

0:06:510:06:53

-Oh.

-Dame Pattie.

0:06:530:06:55

Prudence is hosting a celebration.

0:06:550:06:57

I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

0:06:570:06:58

We're all invited, and after Anna's disgraceful antics

0:06:580:07:02

no-one, George, will add insult to injury by declining.

0:07:020:07:06

Nor you by accepting.

0:07:060:07:08

I'm surprised I'm even included.

0:07:080:07:10

Some people know the meaning of the word courtesy.

0:07:100:07:14

And naturally Prudence included Miss Adams in the invitation.

0:07:140:07:17

Amy, this oatmeal's a little underdone this morning.

0:07:170:07:21

Jack.

0:07:260:07:28

You're back.

0:07:310:07:33

Someone had to break the impasse.

0:07:350:07:37

-I've given you a week.

-I've been busy.

0:07:370:07:39

I accept that our situation is complex,

0:07:400:07:42

but my kisses aren't that repulsive.

0:07:420:07:44

-I have a patient.

-Unless they're dying...

0:07:440:07:47

You were ashen when you fled.

0:07:480:07:50

The party can't have horrified you that much.

0:07:500:07:52

-Of course not.

-So it's not the differences in our worlds?

0:07:520:07:56

No.

0:07:560:07:57

-Whatever the problem is...

-I can't say.

0:07:570:07:59

-Why not?

-I just can't.

0:07:590:08:01

It's private.

0:08:020:08:04

Don't tell me James isn't the only one.

0:08:040:08:07

That's not even funny.

0:08:070:08:08

I'm just trying to make sense of this.

0:08:080:08:10

Clearly you want me and at the last minute you rush from the room

0:08:100:08:14

You owe me some sort of explanation.

0:08:140:08:16

I can't.

0:08:200:08:22

It's too personal.

0:08:230:08:25

I see.

0:08:270:08:29

I am falling in love with you all over again, Jack.

0:08:320:08:36

I've fallen. There, it's said.

0:08:360:08:39

Right.

0:08:410:08:42

We're too old to be coy. You feel it too.

0:08:420:08:45

Course I do.

0:08:470:08:49

I'll be back Monday.

0:08:510:08:53

I hope you're ready to trust.

0:08:550:08:57

-Happy New Year.

-Oh!

0:09:360:09:38

We announce ourselves in polite society.

0:09:380:09:42

Welcome home.

0:09:420:09:44

-Tea?

-Later.

0:09:440:09:47

I thought you'd had your fill of the bucolic life.

0:09:470:09:51

I'd like to move down here for an indefinite period,

0:09:510:09:54

take over the cottage.

0:09:540:09:55

I'd like that very much. But I insist you stay here.

0:09:550:09:59

The cottage is best.

0:09:590:10:01

I've developed feelings for Jack

0:10:010:10:04

and I'd like a private space in which to explore them.

0:10:040:10:06

-Jack Duncan?

-Yes.

0:10:080:10:11

This is very sudden.

0:10:140:10:16

Love often is.

0:10:160:10:18

And it is love.

0:10:230:10:26

And that's why I want to be here.

0:10:260:10:28

Many a woman has tried with him and failed.

0:10:280:10:31

-They weren't the right woman.

-Oh, Carolyn, he's a country doctor.

0:10:310:10:34

Your existence is...

0:10:340:10:36

I'm a lot more at home with a good book

0:10:360:10:38

than hanging from the chandelier of late.

0:10:380:10:40

Some consolation.

0:10:400:10:42

I don't want to sneak around behind your back.

0:10:440:10:47

For that I thank you.

0:10:470:10:49

I'll take possession Monday.

0:10:490:10:52

I'd rather you stayed well out of it.

0:10:540:10:57

I will say one thing.

0:10:580:11:00

If this might possibly be a whim, walk away. Now.

0:11:010:11:06

He deserves better than a broken heart.

0:11:060:11:08

Was it...anything that I did?

0:11:200:11:24

Looking for cause is pointless. It only adds to the sorrow.

0:11:240:11:29

-There's no doubt?

-No. I'm sorry, Mrs Bligh.

0:11:290:11:33

My baby...

0:11:370:11:39

Is there someone I can contact, someone to collect you?

0:11:410:11:43

No. No-one must know of this.

0:11:430:11:46

Your husband, surely.

0:11:460:11:48

I want to tell him myself.

0:11:510:11:53

In my own time.

0:11:530:11:56

Thank you for your concern, but I will manage.

0:11:560:12:00

It won't be easy carrying your dead child to term.

0:12:010:12:04

You'll need all the support your loved ones can give you.

0:12:040:12:07

Time enough to grieve together when the baby is born.

0:12:070:12:11

Don't add secrecy to your burden.

0:12:110:12:13

I expect your discretion until I say otherwise.

0:12:130:12:18

I'm obliged to give it.

0:12:180:12:20

I do so reluctantly.

0:12:200:12:23

Thank you.

0:12:260:12:28

She's just outside. I won't be a moment.

0:13:250:13:27

Oh, the operator has Mrs Standish in Paris on the line.

0:13:270:13:30

Would you like to talk while I fetch Mrs Bligh?

0:13:300:13:33

Oh, there's no need for Mrs Bligh.

0:13:330:13:35

-Oh, she asked...

-Thank you, Amy.

0:13:350:13:36

Put Mrs Standish through, operator.

0:13:400:13:43

-Regina.

-George.

0:13:440:13:47

What a pleasant surprise.

0:13:470:13:49

So, have you discovered anything?

0:13:490:13:52

It seemed important to your mother

0:13:530:13:55

to be sure of Miss Adams' background.

0:13:550:13:57

-It's none of your business.

-There are things...

0:13:570:14:01

If you want to be welcome at Ash Park, you'll stop. Now.

0:14:010:14:04

-There are matters that...

-Don't.

0:14:040:14:06

And don't telephone again.

0:14:060:14:08

I insist you avoid any attempts by Mother to contact you.

0:14:080:14:11

-George...

-Unless you...

0:14:110:14:13

want to lose my friendship forever.

0:14:130:14:15

-Well, I'd die rather than risk that.

-Good.

0:14:150:14:19

The Thomas Cook desk.

0:14:310:14:33

I wish to book a plane journey to Australia.

0:14:330:14:35

So I am to be forbidden communication now?

0:14:360:14:39

I will not have you making mischief.

0:14:390:14:41

I have done nothing that I did not consider necessary.

0:14:410:14:44

That justification is becoming very stale.

0:14:440:14:47

You sure you're ready for that?

0:14:590:15:01

It's good to use my body again.

0:15:030:15:05

Doing is good. Overdoing isn't.

0:15:050:15:07

-This party...

-What about it?

0:15:080:15:11

Don't feel badgered into going.

0:15:110:15:13

Ah.

0:15:130:15:15

Yeah, I'll...I'll decide on the day.

0:15:150:15:18

Same goes for you.

0:15:180:15:20

George Bligh's Jewish nurse - the knives will be sharpened.

0:15:200:15:25

I'm well up to the challenge.

0:15:250:15:27

Hello?

0:15:310:15:33

Anyone home?

0:15:350:15:37

Yoo-hoo!

0:15:370:15:39

I was doing my rounds and I thought, "Oh, that's Miss Anna's horse!

0:15:390:15:45

"I must let her know how thrilled we all are."

0:15:450:15:49

Oh, I'm all a-puff.

0:15:490:15:50

-May I?

-Oh.

0:15:500:15:52

I can? Oh, how charming, yet so discreet.

0:15:520:15:57

One understands, given that Gino ekes a living from the land.

0:15:570:16:02

I can't imagine a better ring.

0:16:020:16:05

As I said to Mr Collins the day he proposed,

0:16:050:16:08

"It's not what you spend, it's what you feel."

0:16:080:16:12

First your father and Miss Adams, now you.

0:16:120:16:15

Yes.

0:16:150:16:16

Even the intimacy between your grandmother and myself.

0:16:160:16:21

One hears the social barriers tumbling.

0:16:210:16:25

And who knows, perhaps even between

0:16:250:16:27

a country doctor and a glamorous woman of the world, hmm?

0:16:270:16:30

Who knows?

0:16:300:16:32

I'm not back to badger you for answers.

0:16:340:16:36

Good.

0:16:360:16:38

I told Mother I love you.

0:16:390:16:41

How'd she take that?

0:16:440:16:45

If she hasn't talked to you, obviously as well as I thought.

0:16:450:16:49

But that's not the point.

0:16:490:16:51

Do you think I would have braved her if I truly didn't want you?

0:16:520:16:57

Whatever there is to tell, you'll tell in your own good time.

0:17:040:17:07

And I promise I won't let you down.

0:17:090:17:12

Wait.

0:17:170:17:19

You said at your party that

0:17:250:17:27

any woman deserved better than a compromise.

0:17:270:17:30

Testosterone.

0:17:420:17:44

Injected twice a week for the last eight years.

0:17:460:17:49

Manhood in a syringe.

0:17:510:17:54

Japs took mine.

0:17:570:17:59

Tortured me and smashed them between two stones.

0:18:030:18:06

Still keen?

0:18:060:18:08

-I shouldn't have told you.

-Please.

0:18:160:18:19

-I don't want pity.

-It's not pity!

0:18:190:18:21

-Isn't it?

-No.

0:18:210:18:22

-I'm no bloody use to a woman.

-That's pity.

0:18:220:18:26

That's self-pity.

0:18:260:18:28

This is...

0:18:280:18:30

..is sorrow.

0:18:310:18:32

It's pain. It's love.

0:18:340:18:36

Love me.

0:18:380:18:40

JAMES: This is where I kissed Harry.

0:19:290:19:31

OLIVIA: Then how do we proceed?

0:19:340:19:36

JAMES: As husband and wife.

0:19:360:19:39

As parents.

0:19:390:19:41

SHE SOBS

0:19:430:19:45

JAMES: You're home early.

0:20:280:20:29

Hope that's good news for my wallet.

0:20:310:20:33

I restrained my worst impulses.

0:20:350:20:37

I'm desperate for a cup of tea.

0:20:390:20:41

How are you? How is everyone?

0:20:430:20:45

Let me know when the caterers arrive.

0:20:550:20:57

Oh, keep an eye on Cook with the champagne.

0:20:570:20:59

Yes, ma'am.

0:20:590:21:01

-Top it up with the champagne.

-Oh, must you?

0:21:010:21:04

I need an early start if I'm to deal with the bores you've invited.

0:21:040:21:08

You're up to something.

0:21:080:21:10

That is rather the pot calling the kettle black.

0:21:100:21:13

Well, we'd best not dally if we're to be punctual.

0:21:130:21:16

Now, James, are you sure you're feeling up to this?

0:21:160:21:19

-Have to face the world sometime.

-Excellent.

0:21:190:21:22

9:30, in the sitting room?

0:21:220:21:24

-Ooh, synchronise watches. Attention.

-ELIZABETH: I heard that, miss.

0:21:240:21:30

I am so lucky to have a leave pass.

0:21:300:21:34

-You're awfully quiet, Olivia.

-Am I?

-Oh.

0:21:350:21:39

Our first appearance in Sydney society together.

0:21:390:21:43

Lavender and lace and boring small talk.

0:21:430:21:46

Are you sure about this?

0:21:460:21:49

The way Anna describes it, who could resist?

0:21:490:21:51

-You just want an excuse not to go.

-How did you guess?

0:21:510:21:54

Excuse me.

0:21:540:21:56

Well, I for one am looking forward to it.

0:21:560:21:59

Remind him he said that

0:21:590:22:01

when he's being bored witless by dreary society dames.

0:22:010:22:04

We might be pleasantly surprised.

0:22:040:22:06

And you have a lovely day at home.

0:22:090:22:12

Is it just me or has Olivia been odd?

0:22:120:22:15

She's had this strange fixed smile on all week.

0:22:150:22:19

She has a lot on her mind.

0:22:190:22:22

Their problem's not one that's solved overnight.

0:22:220:22:25

I suppose it is that.

0:22:250:22:26

Do you think they'll divorce?

0:22:260:22:29

I think she'll do anything to make sure they don't.

0:22:310:22:34

I'd be thoughtful in her shoes too.

0:22:340:22:37

Part of me wanted to say absolutely not,

0:22:430:22:45

but I can't lock myself away forever.

0:22:450:22:49

I do worry about my memory.

0:22:500:22:52

The treatment's left me with some blanks.

0:22:520:22:55

I hope I don't run into somebody I know and just stare at them.

0:22:560:23:00

Are you sure you want to go?

0:23:060:23:08

Whatever's right for you.

0:23:080:23:10

Hey.

0:23:120:23:14

Are you positive?

0:23:200:23:22

James...

0:23:240:23:26

You can't do it, can you?

0:23:260:23:29

-I mean, us.

-No.

0:23:290:23:31

No, of course I can. We can.

0:23:310:23:34

Then what?

0:23:370:23:39

We will make it work.

0:23:420:23:45

The three of us.

0:23:460:23:48

What?

0:23:500:23:51

I'm sorry.

0:23:530:23:55

We will step out as a family.

0:23:570:24:01

I'd like that.

0:24:030:24:05

-You've got that look in your eye.

-What look?

0:24:120:24:16

You've never been one to allow a slight to go unpunished.

0:24:160:24:20

I agree what Anna did to you is outrageous,

0:24:200:24:22

but try to avoid your baser instincts.

0:24:220:24:25

Of course, Mother.

0:24:250:24:26

We couldn't have Dame Elizabeth unsettled, could we?

0:24:260:24:30

What's it to do with Elizabeth?

0:24:300:24:32

She put me in a position to be humiliated.

0:24:320:24:35

It's unfair to blame others.

0:24:350:24:37

The girl was simply being foolish.

0:24:370:24:39

She knew exactly what she was doing and she sniggered while she did it.

0:24:390:24:42

Well, it's a good thing she declined the invitation, then.

0:24:420:24:45

Yes.

0:24:450:24:46

What are your intentions?

0:24:490:24:51

As yours. To be the perfect host.

0:24:510:24:55

-Ah.

-Go easy with that.

0:24:550:24:58

Don't fret, Mother.

0:24:580:25:00

To us.

0:25:000:25:02

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:25:040:25:06

Ah, Miss Adams, more than punctual.

0:25:060:25:09

I wanted a moment alone.

0:25:090:25:11

Today is obviously designed to see me out of my depth.

0:25:110:25:14

Well, I'm sure you'll make of it

0:25:140:25:16

whatever your social skills will allow.

0:25:160:25:18

I will.

0:25:180:25:21

If Regina's already discovered this, I apologise for the repetition.

0:25:210:25:25

My husband was well connected in Parisian literary circles.

0:25:250:25:30

Gide and Malraux were our friends. We mixed in all manner of society.

0:25:300:25:34

If you spent less time fighting me and more time knowing me,

0:25:340:25:37

you'd know there's nothing today that might throw me off kilter.

0:25:370:25:40

It's a lovely morning.

0:25:440:25:47

I'll wait outside.

0:25:470:25:48

ELEGANT STRING MUSIC PLAYS

0:25:480:25:51

Darling Pattie and I were together at Fintona Girls' of course.

0:26:020:26:05

Pattie Leckie she was called then.

0:26:050:26:08

Oh, it's Elizabeth Bligh's party.

0:26:080:26:10

Her son's brought his working-class Jewess.

0:26:100:26:13

Quite the scandal.

0:26:130:26:16

Elizabeth darling!

0:26:160:26:18

Oh, and Olivia!

0:26:180:26:20

Mwah!

0:26:200:26:22

James.

0:26:220:26:24

George. This must be your fiancee, I presume.

0:26:240:26:27

Sarah Adams.

0:26:270:26:29

Thank you for inviting me, Lady Prudence.

0:26:290:26:30

Lady Swanson. My husband is a knight but I have no title myself.

0:26:300:26:34

Oh, you'll capture these social subtleties with time.

0:26:340:26:37

They're becoming increasingly irrelevant, aren't they, with time?

0:26:370:26:41

-She's no wilting violet.

-I'll see her out of her depth.

0:26:460:26:50

James and Olivia, there's no need to feel discomfort because of Anna.

0:26:500:26:54

I hope you don't mind my monopolising your lovely wife.

0:26:540:26:58

I need a barrier against

0:26:580:27:00

the simpering eligibles Mother's invited.

0:27:000:27:02

-How have you been since Christmas?

-Sir?

0:27:050:27:07

Thank you.

0:27:070:27:09

-I couldn't help myself.

-She deserved it.

0:27:090:27:11

-She was being a snob.

-So it seemed.

0:27:110:27:14

It came out in a way I didn't intend.

0:27:140:27:17

Some time together perhaps before the guest of honour arrives?

0:27:170:27:21

-Introductions.

-Excuse me.

0:27:210:27:24

Although I can't imagine there'd be anyone here that you'd know.

0:27:260:27:30

ANNA: Stop! Stop, stop, stop, stop.

0:27:320:27:34

He's there.

0:27:380:27:40

If they're doing what I think they're doing, let's leave them to it.

0:27:400:27:44

-Maybe they're not.

-Maybe they are.

0:27:440:27:47

Maybe we should.

0:27:490:27:51

Nothing has to happen that you don't feel ready for.

0:27:560:27:59

Most men wear trousers. I hide behind them.

0:28:080:28:11

Don't.

0:28:110:28:12

No?

0:28:240:28:25

Yes?

0:28:280:28:30

I wanted this... I dreaded it for years,

0:28:460:28:50

letting someone see.

0:28:500:28:53

I want to give you so much more than I can.

0:28:580:29:02

I want to give you all of myself.

0:29:020:29:05

Kiss me.

0:29:210:29:23

Lower.

0:29:330:29:34

This is the first family invitation I've been able to say no to.

0:30:200:30:25

How does that make you feel?

0:30:250:30:27

Free.

0:30:270:30:29

Like Anna Poletti.

0:30:290:30:31

-You're still a Bligh.

-I'm not the Bligh I thought I was.

0:30:310:30:35

I wonder what my real father's surname is.

0:30:360:30:39

Ask your mamma.

0:30:390:30:41

Do you think you ever will?

0:30:440:30:46

-Ask about him?

-Mmm.

0:30:460:30:48

I didn't want to add to father's burdens.

0:30:500:30:52

But he's happy with us now and he has Sarah.

0:30:540:30:58

He does.

0:30:580:30:59

So?

0:31:010:31:02

So if the party goes well...

0:31:040:31:06

..I'll tell him.

0:31:070:31:10

It's so hard trusting anyone.

0:31:160:31:18

But you did.

0:31:200:31:22

I understand now why it meant so much to you to learn about Anna.

0:31:250:31:29

It's a miracle to me.

0:31:290:31:32

So are you.

0:31:350:31:36

-Was it how you remember?

-Being with you?

0:31:360:31:40

-More beautiful.

-Hardly.

0:31:400:31:43

To me you are.

0:31:430:31:45

You?

0:31:470:31:49

It's as intense, in a different way.

0:31:500:31:55

Yeah.

0:31:550:31:57

I never thought I'd have this again either.

0:32:000:32:03

-How are you bearing up?

-I'm fine.

0:32:160:32:19

Although I do wonder what all these people would think

0:32:190:32:21

if they knew what I'd just been through.

0:32:210:32:23

I know. That's why I asked.

0:32:230:32:26

-Your wife's been commandeered.

-I'm glad she's enjoying herself.

0:32:280:32:32

She's not the only one.

0:32:320:32:34

SPEAKS FRENCH

0:32:340:32:38

SPEAKS FRENCH

0:32:400:32:42

Sarah and I won't be returning with you.

0:32:500:32:52

I thought we'd stay in town for the night to celebrate her success.

0:32:520:32:55

Smugness is most unbecoming, George.

0:32:550:32:59

ALL SPEAK FRENCH

0:33:000:33:03

I separate them into the simpering, the whimpering

0:33:030:33:05

and the just plain desperate.

0:33:050:33:07

Whatever Anna was, she was none of those.

0:33:070:33:10

I should get back to James.

0:33:150:33:17

You will, but first...

0:33:170:33:19

Yes?

0:33:210:33:23

I'm going to be presumptuous.

0:33:280:33:30

You've been lying about James

0:33:310:33:33

from the first time I ran into you at the hospital.

0:33:330:33:36

I know a troubled marriage when I see one.

0:33:380:33:40

I want you to know that you can trust me.

0:33:400:33:44

You've only family in Australia, no friends.

0:33:440:33:47

If you ever need a good friend...

0:33:470:33:50

Thank you.

0:33:510:33:53

I'm sorry.

0:33:560:33:58

-I'm not prying.

-Oh, I know.

0:33:580:34:01

There is something dreadful I have to tell James.

0:34:040:34:10

I don't know how to.

0:34:120:34:13

I'm...I'm just terrified that...

0:34:130:34:18

..I'll lose him.

0:34:200:34:22

The one thing I salvaged from that debacle with Anna

0:34:220:34:25

is an affection for you.

0:34:250:34:27

Any help in any way.

0:34:270:34:30

It's the baby.

0:34:400:34:42

Dame Pattie, Mr George Bligh.

0:34:530:34:57

Congratulations, Dame Pattie.

0:34:570:34:58

I had the pleasure of meeting Sir Robert last year.

0:34:580:35:01

How nice, young man.

0:35:010:35:02

-I see you've met my fiancee.

-She's charming.

0:35:020:35:05

HE SPEAKS FRENCH

0:35:050:35:07

It's a compliment.

0:35:070:35:09

And I concur, Louis.

0:35:090:35:12

I was recently unwell

0:35:120:35:13

and I have nothing but admiration for the nursing profession, Miss Adams.

0:35:130:35:17

-How is your local hospital in...?

-Inverness.

0:35:170:35:20

A great change from London, I'm sure.

0:35:200:35:22

Yes, it's quite charming, actually.

0:35:220:35:25

Oh, he won't notice I've been crying?

0:35:260:35:29

Just say it's the glare. Nothing you've said goes any further.

0:35:290:35:33

I might steal this one off you, old man,

0:35:330:35:35

now I have no other prospects.

0:35:350:35:37

Well, you'll have a fight on your hands.

0:35:370:35:39

I should hope so.

0:35:390:35:41

-You disappeared.

-Oh, Andrew needed a shoulder.

0:35:440:35:48

Your eyes are red.

0:35:480:35:51

Oh, it's the glare.

0:35:510:35:54

You're spending an awful lot of time with Olivia Bligh.

0:35:550:35:58

She's a very good friend of Anna's.

0:35:580:36:01

I wanted to prove there was no ill feeling.

0:36:010:36:03

-I did my best.

-Oh, you did.

0:36:100:36:12

I threw her together with anyone who could raise her hackles

0:36:120:36:15

and she put them in their place as charmingly as she did me.

0:36:150:36:20

And now there's Pattie's seal of approval.

0:36:200:36:23

Yes.

0:36:230:36:24

So?

0:36:260:36:27

I suspect check, if not checkmate.

0:36:270:36:31

Well...

0:36:310:36:33

KNOCK AT DOOR

0:36:560:36:57

AMY: Miss Anna?

0:36:570:36:59

Miss?

0:36:590:37:01

Miss?

0:37:030:37:05

I was napping.

0:37:080:37:10

Mrs Standish has arrived.

0:37:100:37:12

-She's in Europe.

-She's in the sitting room.

0:37:120:37:14

-Does she know I'm here?

-I said that I wasn't sure.

0:37:140:37:17

You can't find me.

0:37:170:37:19

Get dressed.

0:37:220:37:24

Shouldn't you at least say hello?

0:37:240:37:26

She'll want to know about Andrew. I'm not in the mood.

0:37:260:37:29

Thank you.

0:37:320:37:35

Is that a car?

0:37:350:37:36

Oh, that's just, uh, one of the workers' vehicles, ma'am.

0:37:360:37:41

-Can I bring you anything else?

-No, thank you, dear.

0:37:410:37:46

Before you go, your brother...

0:37:460:37:50

-Yes, ma'am?

-And Mr James.

0:37:500:37:54

Yes?

0:37:540:37:56

There's no need to feel awkward.

0:37:560:37:59

I'm a woman of the world and privy to all family secrets.

0:37:590:38:03

So tell me, how is the unfortunate matter proceeding?

0:38:030:38:07

The party was a great success for you at least.

0:38:120:38:15

I have rather restored my social credibility.

0:38:150:38:17

Ah, yes. Thank you.

0:38:170:38:18

And you mustn't be a stranger, George.

0:38:180:38:22

-Whenever you're in town.

-Thank you for a splendid day.

0:38:220:38:26

-It was a pleasure.

-Yes, it was.

0:38:260:38:29

-We were both surprised, I think.

-I think we were.

0:38:290:38:33

-Lovely to see you so recovered.

-It's good to be amongst company.

0:38:350:38:40

Oh, and all the very best for your confinement.

0:38:400:38:42

-We had a marvellous time.

-Ah. 'Bye, then.

0:38:420:38:46

-Thank you.

-Don't tell him.

0:38:480:38:50

-But I...

-Not yet.

0:38:500:38:52

I've had a thought.

0:38:520:38:54

I'd love to visit again, once the dust has settled.

0:38:550:38:58

You'd be most welcome.

0:38:580:39:00

Say nothing until we've spoken more.

0:39:010:39:04

I apologise for my earlier suspicions.

0:39:170:39:19

-You behaved impeccably.

-I did, didn't I?
