0:00:02 > 0:00:05We need help! Regina. Ride to Ash Park. Call an ambulance.

0:00:05 > 0:00:07Call Jack! Tell him to hurry.

0:00:07 > 0:00:09- George has been shot.- Oh!

0:00:09 > 0:00:13- The bullet's mobile. - No, I...removed it.

0:00:13 > 0:00:14In a moving ambulance?

0:00:14 > 0:00:19If George dies, I'm going to make sure your husband hangs.

0:00:19 > 0:00:20And if he lives?

0:00:20 > 0:00:24I'll tell them it was an accident. You get your mad Jew back.

0:00:24 > 0:00:28- Let it go. Let it go.- Say it! Je t'aime!- Back away!

0:00:28 > 0:00:31- Now!- Get away from him!

0:00:31 > 0:00:34I don't believe a word of what they're saying. It can't be true.

0:00:34 > 0:00:37- And what are they saying?- This unsavoury mistrust of foreigners.

0:00:37 > 0:00:41James is a homosexual.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43- That's disgusting.- Must you...

0:00:44 > 0:00:47- Father.- ..make such an awful racket?

0:00:47 > 0:00:50That poor man wasn't trying to kill George.

0:00:50 > 0:00:54- He was about to take his own life. - You realise Norman will go free?

0:00:54 > 0:00:55SHE RETCHES

0:00:58 > 0:00:59I'm pregnant.

0:01:14 > 0:01:15BABY COOS

0:01:20 > 0:01:22BABY CRIES

0:01:31 > 0:01:33BABY SCREAMS

0:01:34 > 0:01:36SHE BREATHES HEAVILY

0:01:59 > 0:02:00KNOCK ON DOOR

0:02:00 > 0:02:03Are you hungry? I'm making eggs.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05No, thanks, Roy.

0:02:09 > 0:02:10Thanks.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13They're only dreams.

0:02:13 > 0:02:14I get them, too.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21MUSIC: Cheveux Dans Le Vent by Jacques Pills

0:02:50 > 0:02:52Here is the young prince.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54Clean as a whistle, fed and happy.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57- Thank you, Rose.- They'll be here any moment.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07I can take that.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23How did you sleep?

0:03:40 > 0:03:44- George. Let me help you. - I can manage.

0:03:44 > 0:03:45Well, be a gentleman and help me.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48You've no idea how I rushed around this morning getting the house ready.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51- There's no need for you to go out of your way.- Regina, leave him be,

0:03:51 > 0:03:54the doctor insisted that George is to have complete rest.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56- And that is exactly what he shall have.- Anna.

0:03:56 > 0:04:00- I'm so glad that you're home.- Anna, darling, be careful.- Oh, I'm sorry.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04- Did I hurt you? - Please, I'm not made of glass.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08It's wonderful to see you here.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Feels like we've been gone a lifetime,

0:04:13 > 0:04:15not just a couple of weeks.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Ooh! Oh!

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Hello.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26He's grown so much I can hardly believe it.

0:04:26 > 0:04:27Every day, there's something new.

0:04:27 > 0:04:31He's so alert now, and he smiles all the time.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35You're getting heavy, Georgie Porgie. He's a Bligh.

0:04:35 > 0:04:39He'll be walking at eight months, you mark my words.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42If I may, I'd like you all to join me for dinner this evening.

0:04:42 > 0:04:46- The whole family, mark my return, including Gino.- Of course.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48George, you're recuperating.

0:04:48 > 0:04:52I think a tray in your room for a few nights might be a little more prudent.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55- We can delay a celebration for a few days.- No more delays.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57I've had enough delays.

0:04:57 > 0:05:01And besides, I have an announcement to make, and it cannot wait.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04- An announcement?- You'll hear this evening.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07BABY CRIES Shh, shh, shh.

0:05:07 > 0:05:11- It's time for the wee un's nap, Miss Olivia.- And who might this be?

0:05:11 > 0:05:13Oh, of course, you haven't met.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16This is Rose. She's the new maid.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19I wouldn't have survived without her.

0:05:19 > 0:05:23- Don't underestimate your own strength, my dear.- James?

0:05:23 > 0:05:25I'd like a word in private.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29Anna.

0:05:34 > 0:05:35Elizabeth?

0:05:37 > 0:05:39We were allies once.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43I thought we could be that again.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47We both want the same things.

0:05:47 > 0:05:51George's happiness, a future for Ash Park.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53Do you think, perhaps, we could start afresh?

0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Do you take me for a fool? - Not at all.

0:05:58 > 0:06:02George is having a second chance and you're taking yours.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06I thought perhaps I might follow suit.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08So you'll be leaving Ash Park?

0:06:08 > 0:06:14Of course, if that's what George, as the head of this house, wants.

0:06:14 > 0:06:15Hmm.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24This changes everything, I know.

0:06:24 > 0:06:29- We had planned to run Ash Park together.- It's a big step.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31It will put the family under scrutiny,

0:06:31 > 0:06:34but the pressure will be greatest on you.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38If it's my past failings that concern you, all that is over with.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40I'm not worried at all.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51Is everything all right, Father?

0:06:51 > 0:06:54Just morphine. For the pain.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Doctor's orders.

0:06:56 > 0:07:00Perhaps you should have listened to Mr Fox and stayed at the hospital.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03I'm fine. Really.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09So, James, what do you think?

0:07:09 > 0:07:11This is important to you.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13It is.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16George won't kick her out. He's too kind-hearted.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19I can hardly believe the time has come

0:07:19 > 0:07:22when I should find a Jewish nurse the lesser of two evils.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Sarah has a second chance with her husband.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26You can't blame her for taking it.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31And how is your second chance?

0:07:31 > 0:07:35- You should invite him to dinner tonight.- That would be nice.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42He asked me to marry him.

0:07:42 > 0:07:46Oh, Carolyn, that's wonderful!

0:07:48 > 0:07:49Is it not?

0:07:50 > 0:07:55I said no. His home is here. Mine is in Sydney.

0:07:59 > 0:08:04I understand how hard it is, to imagine sharing a life again.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11- You ready, bella? We need to start turning the soil.- Look!

0:08:11 > 0:08:12Look at this.

0:08:12 > 0:08:16The washing, it's just ruined. Must have been the bore water.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18I should be in the field, with you.

0:08:18 > 0:08:22This... This machine was supposed to help, not make things worse.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25Hey, hey, hey, hey, don't worry. We'll get it all done, hey?

0:08:25 > 0:08:29Mamma and Papa managed, so can we, hmm?

0:08:31 > 0:08:32It'll keep until tomorrow, yeah?

0:08:32 > 0:08:34But you need a clean shirt for tonight.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Father wants us to go to Ash Park for dinner.

0:08:38 > 0:08:42- Tell him we're sorry, but...- Gino!

0:08:42 > 0:08:45- We are not going. - All because of James?

0:08:45 > 0:08:47How can I stand to look at him? It's not natural, what he is.

0:08:47 > 0:08:52- It goes against God. - But what if God made him this way?

0:08:52 > 0:08:56Anna, it's an abomination, OK? The Bible says it.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00- I wish I'd never told you. - So do I.

0:09:03 > 0:09:07I hope you know how much your support means to me.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12You'll always have it, Father.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Look at the pair of you.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17As thick as thieves.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19We'll be expecting an extra guest for dinner this evening.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Oh. May I enquire as to whom it might be?

0:09:22 > 0:09:26- I'll be sure to introduce you when he arrives.- I see.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30I know how frightening this must have been for you, Mother,

0:09:30 > 0:09:33and I appreciate you coming back to Ash Park for me.

0:09:33 > 0:09:37- I intend to return to Sydney...- But if any good has come of this,

0:09:37 > 0:09:41it's that I've come to understand how fragile life is.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46You were right to leave here and begin your new chapter.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51And, as head of Ash Park, I'm impatient to begin mine.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58FRENCH SONG PLAYS

0:10:04 > 0:10:05Remember?

0:10:06 > 0:10:10This is the song that was playing when you proposed.

0:10:11 > 0:10:17Your father made a toast, wishing us long life, happiness...

0:10:18 > 0:10:20..many children.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26Rene?

0:10:30 > 0:10:32I should get back to work.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38Non, ca va.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42C'est fini.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45I have forgotten it. And you should, too.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56SONG CONTINUES

0:10:56 > 0:11:00He plays it constantly, you say?

0:11:00 > 0:11:02Part of this therapy, from what I can gather.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04But why he can't play decent music, I don't know.

0:11:06 > 0:11:11If you've all got time to spare, Mrs Sarrell needs her dressing changed.

0:11:11 > 0:11:15And Mr Atkin in bed seven couldn't manage to keep his breakfast down.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18PHONE RINGS

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Sarah, can I see you a moment?

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Um, you can tell me it's none of my business.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42Since when has that stopped you?

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Have you told Rene? About the baby?

0:11:46 > 0:11:49- No.- Well, you should. I think it could help with his recovery.

0:11:49 > 0:11:53- Give him something to look forward to.- I can't.- Why not?

0:11:53 > 0:11:56Because the baby can't be his.

0:11:58 > 0:11:59George?

0:12:02 > 0:12:04The truth would destroy Rene.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07Well, a few more months and you won't be able to hide it.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12George must never know.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15- He's the father. - I'm well aware of that.

0:12:15 > 0:12:16Sarah...

0:12:21 > 0:12:24That's your decision to make.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27He won't hear it from me.

0:12:28 > 0:12:29Thank you.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51RECORD CRACKLES IN RUN-OUT GROOVE

0:13:01 > 0:13:03He's not in the building.

0:13:03 > 0:13:04We'll search the grounds again.

0:13:04 > 0:13:07- He can't have got far. - I only left him for a moment.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10- It's not your fault.- How long has the Frenchman been missing?

0:13:11 > 0:13:14This is not a police matter, Sergeant.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17- Well, your nurses seem to think it is.- He must be found.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20- For his own safety, if nothing else. - You can't blame her.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24- The nurses are all a little nervous. - Rene hasn't done anything illegal.

0:13:24 > 0:13:25He can get confused, that's all.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28Same way he was confused when he shot George Bligh?

0:13:28 > 0:13:29We have the situation under control.

0:13:29 > 0:13:33- How many ways are there, out of this place?- I could show you.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39Did he say anything to you, give you any hint of where he might've gone?

0:13:39 > 0:13:40Nothing.

0:13:43 > 0:13:44He told me he wanted peace.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49What if he's gone to finish what he started?

0:13:52 > 0:13:54He tried once before.

0:13:54 > 0:13:58- No, Rene has a lot to live for. - I'm not sure he sees it that way.

0:14:00 > 0:14:04- I should never have brought him back here.- This is your home.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06And I've all but destroyed it.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09You've fixed a lot more than you've broken, you know that.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27He's not here.

0:14:31 > 0:14:32There he is.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10- Rene.- Oui?- What are you doing here?

0:15:10 > 0:15:12- I need to see George Bligh. - What for?

0:15:18 > 0:15:22We should come back another time. Give George some warning.

0:15:34 > 0:15:38- We've found him. Everything's fine. - Is that so?- What are you doing?

0:15:38 > 0:15:41I've had enough of this. This man belongs in a prison cell.

0:15:43 > 0:15:46- You are not taking him.- Shut up! He's trespassing!

0:15:46 > 0:15:48- Let go of him. - Who do you think you are?!

0:15:48 > 0:15:50What on earth is going on?

0:15:50 > 0:15:53Nothing, Mr Bligh. I've got it all in hand.

0:15:53 > 0:15:57- It doesn't appear that way to me. - George, this man is out of control.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01Why are you harassing my guest?

0:16:01 > 0:16:04Sir, this man's absconded from hospital...

0:16:04 > 0:16:06He is here at my invitation.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08And I won't have him manhandled.

0:16:19 > 0:16:23I, uh... I do apologise, Mr Bligh.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26It is not me who is owed an apology.

0:16:40 > 0:16:41Sorry.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Beautiful day for some gardening.- Quite.

0:17:19 > 0:17:23- I might take one of the horses for a ride.- Splendid idea.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41Please, whatever it is you've come to say...

0:17:44 > 0:17:48Um, I could, uh...

0:18:00 > 0:18:01English, my darling.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06I... apologise.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10I did not wish to...injure.

0:18:11 > 0:18:17From what Regina has said, it was an accident, pure and simple.

0:18:17 > 0:18:18- Oui.- Yes.

0:18:36 > 0:18:40- Finally, I find you. - Oh, a nice surprise!

0:18:41 > 0:18:43I brought Sarah.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47Her and Rene are in with George.

0:18:48 > 0:18:50Well, that will be interesting.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54And here I was thinking you'd come to see me.

0:18:57 > 0:18:58I missed you.

0:19:02 > 0:19:03Sarah.

0:19:03 > 0:19:07Mrs Nordmann. I owe you a debt of gratitude.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10I'm only glad I was there to help.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12Me, too.

0:19:23 > 0:19:24That was worth the wait.

0:19:24 > 0:19:28- Oh, no, I haven't finished with you yet.- Really?

0:19:28 > 0:19:30THEY LAUGH

0:19:34 > 0:19:36So, does this mean more time in Inverness?

0:19:38 > 0:19:41Oh, Regina is still oozing down the halls, and now George

0:19:41 > 0:19:44is making some mysterious announcement at dinner tonight.

0:19:44 > 0:19:49- Announcement?- Mm. You'll come, won't you?- I will.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51But not for George.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54Well, I'm not inviting you for George.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00Doesn't mean I'm going to marry you, though.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Doesn't mean I'll stop asking.

0:20:12 > 0:20:13Gino.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20I've never once doubted you.

0:20:20 > 0:20:24- Anna...- Not when my family told me that you weren't right for me,

0:20:24 > 0:20:26not when I had to give up the home that I love.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28I know, Anna.

0:20:29 > 0:20:34I've never asked anything of you, except that you love me.

0:20:37 > 0:20:39I'm sorry, Anna.

0:20:39 > 0:20:44You don't have to love my family, but you do have to accept them.

0:20:46 > 0:20:50Please, will you come to dinner tonight?

0:20:55 > 0:20:56OK.

0:20:56 > 0:21:01- It's so lovely to see you again, Sarah. I've missed you.- Thank you. That means a lot to me.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05And good to see you're feeling better, Dr Nordmann.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08I spoke to Mr Fox.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11We plan to liaise during your recovery and, as your doctor,

0:21:11 > 0:21:14I'm going to have to insist on some rest.

0:21:14 > 0:21:18- Now, Jack, you can't bully me the way you do Mother.- Just watch me.

0:21:19 > 0:21:22I'll leave you. It seems my doctor insists.

0:21:24 > 0:21:28- You take care, Mrs Nordmann. - And you, Mr Bligh.

0:21:36 > 0:21:40- There's someone I need to see. - Of course.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47I want to thank you, Regina.

0:21:50 > 0:21:54- Thank me?- For telling the police what really happened.

0:21:56 > 0:22:00- I don't need your gratitude. - Is it the truth?

0:22:00 > 0:22:01I've always told the truth,

0:22:01 > 0:22:04no matter how unpalatable people might find it.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07Did Rene try to kill himself or not?

0:22:07 > 0:22:09There would have been such symmetry

0:22:09 > 0:22:12if he'd finished what Herr Hitler started.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16But then you'd be a widow, and nobody wants that.

0:22:20 > 0:22:23You're a fool if you think any of this will make George love you.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26You're not welcome here. Don't come back.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28HORSE NEIGHS

0:22:43 > 0:22:45Everything's all right, Mother.

0:22:45 > 0:22:49George has spoken to Dr Nordmann and they've put it all behind them.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53I'd like a word alone with him, if you don't mind.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01Jack.

0:23:01 > 0:23:02Bonjour, Monsieur Nordmann.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08- Parlez francais?- Un petit peu.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13I gather our local police have not been very kind to you.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19You are still a human being.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22And a woman I have come to respect believes in you.

0:23:27 > 0:23:28Merci.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33This one was given to me by someone very special.

0:23:37 > 0:23:41It reminds me of a path not taken.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43It is sad for you?

0:23:45 > 0:23:50- Sad and sweet at the same time. - Oui, it is very French.- Very French.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57For Sarah, from Elizabeth.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14BABY FUSSES

0:24:27 > 0:24:30MEN SHOUT IN GERMAN

0:24:30 > 0:24:33HE SHOUTS IN GERMAN

0:24:40 > 0:24:41KNOCK AT DOOR

0:24:41 > 0:24:43Come in.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47Afternoon tea, Mrs Standish.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49Thank you. Set it down.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52But take the cake away. I want to look my best tonight.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54But you always look so lovely.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57I look forward to seeing your outfits every morning,

0:24:57 > 0:25:00each one more beautiful than the last.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03You're quite pretty yourself, in a common sort of way.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06This has gone out of style.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08I was going to throw it out, but...

0:25:10 > 0:25:12..it kind of suits you.

0:25:13 > 0:25:17- So nice, but I couldn't.- I know what it's like to be new to a place.

0:25:17 > 0:25:20To feel like you don't belong.

0:25:20 > 0:25:24- Am I doing something wrong? - Not at all.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27But if you ever need any advice, come to me.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31Thank you. I will.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41None of these are exactly the right effect.

0:25:43 > 0:25:47What effect are you after, Mrs Standish?

0:25:47 > 0:25:49I want to look irresistible.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51Indispensable.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59You look handsome.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01I feel as though I've aged ten years.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04Well, in any case, it's only served to make you look more distinguished.

0:26:04 > 0:26:05Please.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09I always thought Elaine was luckier than me,

0:26:09 > 0:26:11but I've realised it's not true.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14She chose better.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16She chose a man like our father.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18Kind, honourable.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23Of course, I rebelled and chose the opposite every time.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31Those bruises Adam gave me, they...

0:26:31 > 0:26:34They weren't the first I've had, by any means.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41Surely, you... You don't mean Charles?

0:26:41 > 0:26:44I never wanted you or Elaine to know.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46I was ashamed.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51I didn't want your pity or your...

0:26:52 > 0:26:54..disgust.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Regina!

0:26:57 > 0:27:01- Sir Richard Bennett has arrived, Mr Bligh.- Thank you.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09Bloody long drive to get out here. I'm parched.

0:27:09 > 0:27:12- So glad you could make it, Sir Richard. May I introduce...- Dickie!

0:27:14 > 0:27:17Here's a turn up for the books.

0:27:17 > 0:27:19It's a welcome one.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21You two know each other?

0:27:21 > 0:27:24Charles Standish may have been a decent ambassador,

0:27:24 > 0:27:26but he was a bloody woeful poker player.

0:27:26 > 0:27:30- May he rest in peace.- Yes. Regrettable way to go.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33Getting blown to bits by the Zionists and all that.

0:27:33 > 0:27:38Now, this one had a better poker face than any man's.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41I used to enjoy a game of canasta myself,

0:27:41 > 0:27:44but no-one in Australia seems to play.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46Nothing but convicts and immigrants in this country.

0:27:46 > 0:27:49It's the perils of living in a colony.

0:27:49 > 0:27:53- Seems to me it's one of the advantages.- How so?

0:27:53 > 0:27:55We can create our own entertainment without

0:27:55 > 0:27:57mindlessly following the Continent.

0:27:57 > 0:28:01Really? And what entertains a modern woman like you?

0:28:02 > 0:28:04The usual things.

0:28:04 > 0:28:07Music. Theatre. Art. Books.

0:28:08 > 0:28:10You get that sort of thing around here?

0:28:10 > 0:28:14Well, I have to say, the annual CWA concert - world-class.

0:28:14 > 0:28:17MILD LAUGHTER

0:28:20 > 0:28:21Sir Richard?

0:28:22 > 0:28:26- Regina, will you join me? - No, Regina, please.

0:28:26 > 0:28:29You two are old friends. I want to hear the war stories.

0:28:29 > 0:28:34- Oh, there's not so much to tell. - Always the diplomat's wife.

0:28:34 > 0:28:38- Discreet to a fault. - You've been resting?

0:28:38 > 0:28:42- I thought you were to be trusted. - Jack's your doctor. He should know when you've had a turn.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44- BENNET:- Everyone has their weakness.

0:28:44 > 0:28:47- GEORGE:- Is that why you're here? To find mine?

0:28:47 > 0:28:50- I wouldn't be here unless I already knew yours.- (Who is he?)

0:28:50 > 0:28:52Now I'm looking for the strengths.

0:28:52 > 0:28:55Sir Richard owns half the magazines in the country.

0:28:55 > 0:28:58- Major newspaper, too. - Sounds influential.

0:28:58 > 0:29:02George is a moral man, a man of his word. There aren't too many like him around.

0:29:02 > 0:29:05- Not in politics, I can tell you that much.- Perhaps there should be.

0:29:05 > 0:29:07An idealist. I like that.

0:29:07 > 0:29:10Let's see if it lasts.

0:29:19 > 0:29:22Our first Shabbat dinner in our new home.

0:29:26 > 0:29:28The Goldbergs baked it for us.

0:29:41 > 0:29:43Time for the future now.

0:29:53 > 0:29:57Menzies bullied the people into voting for him

0:29:57 > 0:29:59with all of this Communist rubbish.

0:29:59 > 0:30:01Well, you can't deny Communists exist.

0:30:01 > 0:30:03Of course they do, but it's the timing of the thing.

0:30:03 > 0:30:07- In politics, timing is everything, isn't it?- Right as usual, Reggie.

0:30:07 > 0:30:12Politics should be about uniting the people, not breeding suspicion.

0:30:12 > 0:30:15But we do live in the real world.

0:30:15 > 0:30:17You're an Italian, aren't you?

0:30:17 > 0:30:21What's the Dago attitude?

0:30:21 > 0:30:23About politics?

0:30:25 > 0:30:27I think that, uh...

0:30:29 > 0:30:31..all politicians are as bad as each other.

0:30:33 > 0:30:36Couldn't have said it better myself.

0:30:36 > 0:30:39ELIZABETH: I remember a time when we didn't discuss politics, or religion,

0:30:39 > 0:30:41or money at the dinner table.

0:30:41 > 0:30:44- Wasn't it bloody boring? - On the contrary, Sir Richard.

0:30:44 > 0:30:47- I was never bored for a moment. - Quite right.

0:30:47 > 0:30:50We're all utterly uncivilised these days, eh?

0:30:50 > 0:30:53My mother has strong views on etiquette.

0:30:53 > 0:30:56I don't care how many magazines the man owns, he's boorish.

0:30:56 > 0:30:59- Mother, you're just being old-fashioned. - What's wrong with that?

0:30:59 > 0:31:01Well, as long as he can keep a civil tongue at the dinner table.

0:31:01 > 0:31:04We've set a new date for the christening.

0:31:04 > 0:31:06Now that father's on the mend,

0:31:06 > 0:31:08there's no reason to delay it any longer.

0:31:08 > 0:31:10Oh, it will be beautiful, I'm sure.

0:31:10 > 0:31:14We do hope you'll do us the honour of being Georgie's godparents.

0:31:14 > 0:31:17Oh, Olivia, of course! Oh, my goodness!

0:31:17 > 0:31:20- No, we can't.- Gino.

0:31:21 > 0:31:25I'm sorry. We thought that...

0:31:25 > 0:31:28Please. Ask someone else.

0:31:28 > 0:31:32- It's not that we don't want to, it's just that...- We're Catholic.

0:31:32 > 0:31:35- So it wouldn't be right.- Anna.

0:31:37 > 0:31:39Excuse me.

0:31:41 > 0:31:44I believe you're all waiting for me to make an announcement.

0:31:44 > 0:31:46Really, George? We'd all forgotten(!)

0:31:48 > 0:31:51Well, as you know, I've recently spent some time in a

0:31:51 > 0:31:55hospital bed, and as I lay there,

0:31:55 > 0:31:58wondering what it was I was fighting to live for,

0:31:58 > 0:32:02apart from my family, of course,

0:32:02 > 0:32:04I came to a conclusion.

0:32:05 > 0:32:10What I need is to look beyond my own back yard.

0:32:10 > 0:32:13You see, Ash Park benefits if the rest of the community benefits.

0:32:13 > 0:32:19And so I've decided to run for pre-selection as a candidate for the Country Party.

0:32:19 > 0:32:23And my guest here, Sir Richard, is considering throwing his support my way.

0:32:23 > 0:32:25Now, there will be ramifications for all of us.

0:32:25 > 0:32:30But if I win, I can make a real difference in Inverness.

0:32:31 > 0:32:33I believe I can.

0:32:57 > 0:33:00SHE PRAYS IN HEBREW

0:33:11 > 0:33:12Amen.

0:33:16 > 0:33:19HE PRAYS IN HEBREW

0:33:29 > 0:33:31- L'chaim.- To life.

0:33:37 > 0:33:41Many men have come to me looking for my backing.

0:33:41 > 0:33:43And I have to say, I rarely give it.

0:33:44 > 0:33:49But you, George, you impressed me from the start.

0:33:49 > 0:33:55And now I see your home and your family, I understand why.

0:33:57 > 0:34:01- To George Bligh. - ALL: To George.

0:34:03 > 0:34:08George, it's not for me to approve or disapprove.

0:34:08 > 0:34:09Your choices are your own to make.

0:34:09 > 0:34:11I've got no intention of interfering.

0:34:11 > 0:34:13I'd like to know what you think.

0:34:16 > 0:34:18Oh, thank you.

0:34:20 > 0:34:24I've always thought you'd make a wonderful politician,

0:34:24 > 0:34:25but I have a couple of reservations.

0:34:25 > 0:34:29The scrutiny involved will be relentless,

0:34:29 > 0:34:34and possibly damaging, as far as James is concerned.

0:34:34 > 0:34:35He's aware of the possibilities,

0:34:35 > 0:34:38and I believe he can withstand any pressure.

0:34:40 > 0:34:44And I'm hoping Sir Richard's influence can help us on that score.

0:34:48 > 0:34:50It's just like Paris.

0:34:59 > 0:35:00Rene?

0:35:02 > 0:35:04HE GROANS

0:35:04 > 0:35:05Rene, what is it? Rene?

0:35:08 > 0:35:11HE GROANS AND YELLS IN PAIN

0:35:11 > 0:35:14- Is everything all right? - Call Dr Duncan.

0:35:14 > 0:35:16Quick! I need help!

0:35:16 > 0:35:18Do you really think he'll be able to get George elected?

0:35:18 > 0:35:20George will be getting himself elected.

0:35:20 > 0:35:24You'd be foolish to underestimate Sir Richard's influence.

0:35:24 > 0:35:25I've read those magazines of his.

0:35:25 > 0:35:28They all go on about looking respectable, cooking dinner

0:35:28 > 0:35:30and keeping your husband happy.

0:35:30 > 0:35:32Clearly you ignored their advice.

0:35:34 > 0:35:39- I don't think cooking dinner is the secret, in any case.- Quite right.

0:35:39 > 0:35:41KNOCK AT DOOR

0:35:45 > 0:35:48There's been an emergency at the hospital.

0:35:48 > 0:35:52Dr Duncan's been called away. Do I tell Mrs Bligh? Is it important?

0:35:52 > 0:35:54I'll take care of it, Rose. Thank you.

0:35:57 > 0:36:01- I'll telephone you when I know something.- Thank you, Jack.

0:36:07 > 0:36:09What is it? What's happened?

0:36:09 > 0:36:12It seems Dr Nordmann's taken a turn for the worse.

0:36:14 > 0:36:18Dickie will be expecting a late night. Drinks, cards, cigars.

0:36:18 > 0:36:23- Of course.- I can make sure it's all prepared.- Thank you.

0:36:23 > 0:36:25I do appreciate it.

0:36:31 > 0:36:33You were rude.

0:36:33 > 0:36:35- I tried.- Oh, barely.

0:36:37 > 0:36:41What harm would it do to be my nephew's godparents?

0:36:41 > 0:36:43I cannot stand in front of God when I know what James is.

0:36:43 > 0:36:45- James is family.- Not MY family!

0:36:56 > 0:37:00- He's in pain. And I can't get the sedative in.- What happened?

0:37:00 > 0:37:02He was fine, and then out of nowhere, his head...

0:37:11 > 0:37:12MAN SHOUTS IN GERMAN

0:37:18 > 0:37:21SHE SCREAMS

0:37:40 > 0:37:41He's stable.

0:37:43 > 0:37:48I'll take an X-ray in the morning and see where we stand, eh?

0:37:48 > 0:37:52- He was getting better.- The shrapnel in his brain

0:37:52 > 0:37:54can move at any time.

0:37:54 > 0:37:56It doesn't need a trigger.

0:37:56 > 0:37:58I can't have this baby.

0:37:59 > 0:38:01- Because it's not Rene's? - I don't want it.

0:38:08 > 0:38:12No-one has to know, if you don't want them to.

0:38:16 > 0:38:18Rene needs my full attention.

0:38:20 > 0:38:23I'll help you.

0:38:23 > 0:38:24We'll all help you.

0:38:26 > 0:38:27What if...?

0:38:29 > 0:38:32What if there's something wrong with it?

0:38:32 > 0:38:34- Hey, why would there be? - I'm... I'm impure.

0:38:37 > 0:38:39The Nazis, they...

0:38:47 > 0:38:51Whatever they did to you, it wasn't your fault.

0:38:52 > 0:38:55How can anything good grow inside me?

0:38:59 > 0:39:01I don't know what to do.

0:39:01 > 0:39:04- SHE SOBS - I don't know what to do.

0:39:13 > 0:39:16A very successful evening, I think.

0:39:17 > 0:39:20Despite the interruption.

0:39:20 > 0:39:22Thanks in no small part to you.

0:39:22 > 0:39:25Dickie likes the sound of his own voice, is all.

0:39:25 > 0:39:28You have to let him talk.

0:39:31 > 0:39:33I'm sure Dr Nordmann will be all right.

0:39:35 > 0:39:36Of course.

0:39:38 > 0:39:39And you...

0:39:41 > 0:39:43You will make a very effective politician.

0:39:47 > 0:39:50I am somewhat of an expert, after all.

0:39:51 > 0:39:53You're not having one?

0:39:53 > 0:39:56I'm sure you have much to think about.

0:40:07 > 0:40:12- Carolyn, I intend to leave Ash Park in the morning.- George will be fine.

0:40:12 > 0:40:14He's doing very well.

0:40:15 > 0:40:20I do, however, feel that I've imposed on Prudence Swanson for too long.

0:40:20 > 0:40:23It was perhaps not the best place from which to make a fresh start.

0:40:23 > 0:40:25So where will you go?

0:40:25 > 0:40:28I wondered about your apartment.

0:40:28 > 0:40:30Until I can find something more suitable.

0:40:32 > 0:40:38- As long as you need, Mother.- Oh, thank you, dear. Goodnight.- Night.

0:40:42 > 0:40:45- Did you even consider saying no? - Of course not.

0:40:46 > 0:40:48And if they look into the family?

0:40:50 > 0:40:53There are things we wouldn't want people to know about.

0:40:53 > 0:40:55Livvie, you worry too much.

0:41:00 > 0:41:03The treatment you had with Dr Milson.

0:41:03 > 0:41:04The hospital will have records.

0:41:04 > 0:41:08- The incident in the barn, what happened on the ship... - It won't come to that.

0:41:08 > 0:41:10- You can't be sure, James!- Livvie!

0:41:10 > 0:41:14People are going to look at us and see a loving husband and wife with a beautiful baby boy.

0:41:14 > 0:41:16There will be no need to look any further.

0:41:20 > 0:41:21Trust me.

0:41:38 > 0:41:39Livvie.

0:41:45 > 0:41:47I don't want to just be pretending.

0:42:25 > 0:42:29I haven't started the thank-you notes for these wedding presents.

0:42:29 > 0:42:34- I'll do the washing. You write the notes.- Really?

0:42:34 > 0:42:36Well, we are husband and wife.

0:42:36 > 0:42:39- Together.- I know.

0:42:52 > 0:42:56Some things, Anna... Some things just are the way they are.

0:42:56 > 0:42:59But you know what will happen if people find out.

0:43:00 > 0:43:02I will not say what James is.

0:43:05 > 0:43:08I'm sure James and Olivia will understand.

0:43:23 > 0:43:25HE SINGS IN ITALIAN:

0:43:25 > 0:43:26# Questa mattina mi sono alzato

0:43:26 > 0:43:30# Oh, bella, ciao, bella ciao, bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!

0:43:30 > 0:43:33# Questa mattina mi sono alzato

0:43:33 > 0:43:37# E ho trovato l'invasor. #

0:43:38 > 0:43:41So, I was thinking perhaps a poker evening?

0:43:41 > 0:43:44Sir Richard, his associates... So the shine doesn't wear off.

0:43:44 > 0:43:48So soon? He'll see through that in an instant.

0:43:48 > 0:43:50Of course he will, that's the point.

0:43:50 > 0:43:53He'll come, he'll drink, he'll win some money and go away happy.

0:43:54 > 0:43:57Thank you, Regina. I'll think it over.

0:43:58 > 0:44:03Sir Richard, I do hope you'll stay again.

0:44:03 > 0:44:06Dickie, next time, we'll put on a bit more of a soiree.

0:44:06 > 0:44:11I'll hold you to that, Reggie. Well, as I said, George, I'm impressed.

0:44:11 > 0:44:15- I'm glad.- You've got the right name, the right house, the right history.

0:44:15 > 0:44:20You were shot by a Commie, for God's sake. It reads like a potboiler.

0:44:20 > 0:44:22It's bloody marvellous.

0:44:25 > 0:44:29The only thing you need, to make you unbeatable,

0:44:29 > 0:44:30is the right wife.

0:44:30 > 0:44:34- I'm a widower. - A widower with a broken engagement.

0:44:36 > 0:44:40Stop the gossips in their tracks with a top-notch society wedding, huh?

0:44:41 > 0:44:43That's my advice.

0:45:02 > 0:45:03Rene.

0:45:20 > 0:45:21Rene!

0:45:28 > 0:45:29Je veux rentrer chez moi!

0:45:37 > 0:45:40- You running away from home, missy? - I'll be back in a few days.

0:45:44 > 0:45:46Must be pretty urgent, eh?

0:45:47 > 0:45:49Aunt Peg isn't well.

0:45:53 > 0:45:54And what about Rene?

0:45:54 > 0:45:57Oh, he's got you and Jack looking out for him. I won't be long.

0:45:58 > 0:46:00He, uh...

0:46:01 > 0:46:03He barely knows I'm there right now.

0:46:08 > 0:46:11I could run you down the station if you'd like.

0:46:17 > 0:46:18Come on, then.
