0:00:02 > 0:00:03Order, please! Order!

0:00:03 > 0:00:05This year's ball is in aid of Mr Goddard's soup kitchen.

0:00:05 > 0:00:07Returned Soldiers' Refuge.

0:00:07 > 0:00:10Well, why don't you come and have a look?

0:00:10 > 0:00:12- Does he want something else? - N... N...

0:00:12 > 0:00:14- Did you want something else? - HE STUTTERS

0:00:16 > 0:00:17Shall I put you on the roster?

0:00:17 > 0:00:21Oh, I don't think so, Mr Goddard. I'm not sure I'm of use.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23Are you expecting, love? Is that it?

0:00:23 > 0:00:25I can't have this baby, Peg.

0:00:25 > 0:00:27You are carrying a child!

0:00:27 > 0:00:28- Aunt Peg, please!- No.

0:00:28 > 0:00:32So, I've decided to run for pre-selection as a candidate

0:00:32 > 0:00:33for the Country Party.

0:00:33 > 0:00:36Is Jack Anna's natural father?

0:00:36 > 0:00:38Yes.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40They can all keep a secret, that's for sure.

0:00:40 > 0:00:41The most important thing, I think,

0:00:41 > 0:00:47is that your parents loved Anna as if she were their own.

0:00:47 > 0:00:48And who were you being?

0:00:48 > 0:00:51I sent the soil from the West Hill to be analysed.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54Very good soil for planting quality grapes.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57Rightio, chaps, problem solved. Where am I?

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Resident card shark Miss Bligh's offered to make up a table.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02Watch out for my sister, she's lethal.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08So it's Olivia you'll be painting, Lloyd.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10And my son and husband.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12Lucky me.

0:01:12 > 0:01:13Cigarette?

0:01:14 > 0:01:15No, thank you.

0:01:18 > 0:01:22I don't want to...just be pretending.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24SHE SCREAMS

0:01:24 > 0:01:29I wanted to thank you for today, but I am a happily married woman.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35SHE PANTS

0:01:37 > 0:01:44The church teaches us that a child is a gift, a gift from God.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47However, I've never been in your position.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00- (ECHOED)- 'Duck bill ready?

0:02:05 > 0:02:07- 'I love you.- I always will.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10'You are carrying a child!

0:02:11 > 0:02:14'It's so sad that your marriage to George didn't proceed.'

0:02:16 > 0:02:17Stop. Stop!

0:02:17 > 0:02:20- Lie down!- I've changed my mind!

0:02:20 > 0:02:22It's way too late in the piece to change your mind.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24If you leave now you, won't get your money back.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27- I said get her out of here!- No! CLATTERING

0:02:27 > 0:02:28No, not that door!

0:02:32 > 0:02:34You should have told me you were a nurse.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44Excuse me, Missus, you dropped...

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Get back in here!

0:02:46 > 0:02:49Now, sit down and I'll be with you in a moment.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57I couldn't do it, Aunt Peg.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00God was watching down, my love. He was.

0:03:04 > 0:03:05A baby.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Babies only need love, darling.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13You'll work it out.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21OVERLAPPING CONVERSATIONS

0:03:23 > 0:03:26Ah, excellent evening, thank you.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30James, I've just been telling Sir Richard about your plans.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Excellent, James. Open the door and let the future in.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35Graham Greene.

0:03:35 > 0:03:36To paraphrase.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39I'm not a total Philistine.

0:03:39 > 0:03:40What a relief, Sir Richard.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45Let the future in. Men from the boys.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48- It's excellent. - Thank you, Sir Richard.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52I wouldn't mind trading Macquarie Street for Inverness.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55Oh, I could live on the land.

0:03:55 > 0:03:56Or off the land.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58On and off.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01- Well, it's hard work. - It's all card games and morning tea.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04A ride out on the horse from time to time to check on the sheep.

0:04:04 > 0:04:05You medicos,

0:04:05 > 0:04:10all sailing around on your yachts on whatever afternoon it is.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12Yes, don't fall ill on a Wednesday.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15Doctor has the tiller in the one hand and a lager in the other.

0:04:44 > 0:04:48So, what sort of portrait's this Ellis-Parker going to do?

0:04:48 > 0:04:51All your abstract swirly bull dust, "My child can do better than that"

0:04:51 > 0:04:54sort of thing? Another Archibald scandal?

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Good abstract painters, take Picasso...

0:04:57 > 0:04:59Someone has to, I suppose.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01..began his painting career with portraits.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03Modelling Velasquez.

0:05:03 > 0:05:04The question for our modern times...

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Oh, don't tell me Lloyd wants 'em nude.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09..is why anyone would want a portrait.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12They are simply a substitute photograph.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14One wants an expression of the subject,

0:05:14 > 0:05:17and that's what Lloyd will do.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19It's not a real job, is it?

0:05:19 > 0:05:21It's not something a real man does.

0:05:21 > 0:05:25Did you know that he was an official war painter on the front line

0:05:25 > 0:05:28of France? Since his return, every exhibition he's had has sold out.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30Oh, an investment tip, Sir Richard.

0:05:30 > 0:05:35You go to all of those, do you? Exhibitions? Opening nights?

0:05:35 > 0:05:36Red dots.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38I do, when I'm in town.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40Can you write? Why don't you show me what you can do?

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Write me, what do you call it, a critique, a review.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47Let's Sydneysiders know what they should like about art.

0:05:47 > 0:05:48That's not the role of a critic.

0:05:48 > 0:05:53Course it's bloody not. I know that. I'm trying you out for a job.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55A word with George.

0:05:58 > 0:05:59SHE LAUGHS

0:06:04 > 0:06:05What's he talking about?

0:06:07 > 0:06:08Art reporter.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10Moi?!

0:06:12 > 0:06:14So, this is it.

0:06:14 > 0:06:18You'll head back to the city.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20The art scene is hardly a full-time job.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23You'll get seduced by the bright lights.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26First part of that sentence I quite like.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36You're back to health. You're ready.

0:06:36 > 0:06:41All my regional editors are on board, very keen to see you run.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43Pre-selection committee knows which way to jump,

0:06:43 > 0:06:46and all you have to do is pull your finger out.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49Brace yourself, George. I back winners.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Do you come down to Sydney very often?

0:06:59 > 0:07:01Yes, sometimes.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06You'll dine with me next time, I hope.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Monday to Friday, my body is a temple.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15Saturday to Sunday, a ruin.

0:07:20 > 0:07:21Goodnight, Mr Fox.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Thank you for everything you've done for my father.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12How's my beautiful boy?

0:08:19 > 0:08:20Georgie?

0:08:22 > 0:08:23Georgie?

0:08:24 > 0:08:27James, it's Georgie.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29The baby's not there.

0:08:31 > 0:08:35I can't find him. Georgie, where are you?!

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Oh, dear God, where is he?

0:08:40 > 0:08:43James, I can't find him.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46- I can't find him! - Livvy, just calm down.

0:08:46 > 0:08:50I need to know where he is! I... I need you to find him.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52- Just find him! - I will. We will. Just calm down!

0:08:52 > 0:08:54All right! All right.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58George, we need to notify the police.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00Not until we've finished searching the house.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02Please, we are wasting time.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05Ah, nothing, sir. I checked all the bedrooms.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08Someone has taken him.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12They must have, because...because where else could he be?

0:09:12 > 0:09:14I've found him.

0:09:14 > 0:09:15Thank God.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Now we can all go to bed.

0:09:18 > 0:09:19There you are, my darling.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22Georgie.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Oh...shh! BABY CRIES

0:09:24 > 0:09:25Quite a relief.

0:09:27 > 0:09:28Make yourself decent.

0:09:30 > 0:09:31Where was he?

0:09:31 > 0:09:34He was in Rose's room. He was in bed with her.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36I didn't mean to worry you.

0:09:36 > 0:09:37Of course you didn't.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39In bed with her?

0:09:39 > 0:09:43He wasn't settling. The poor wean's gums were sore.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45He's teething. Everyone was busy. You wasn't here.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48Of course I was here, you stupid girl!

0:09:48 > 0:09:50Giving us all a fright like that.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52- He's perfectly fine, Olivia.- Sh.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Thank you, Reggie.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36- BREATHLESSLY:- Livvy.

0:10:36 > 0:10:37Livvy.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41SHE EXHALES

0:10:41 > 0:10:45It's all right. It's all right. The baby's right here.

0:10:46 > 0:10:47He's sound asleep.

0:10:49 > 0:10:50You go back to sleep now.

0:11:20 > 0:11:21Hello!

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Oh! Gino!

0:11:25 > 0:11:27- I thought you said they were vines. - They are.

0:11:27 > 0:11:31- It's all rootstock.- They're like weensy little baby vines.

0:11:31 > 0:11:32It's a twig, darling.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34It's sangiovese rootstock.

0:11:34 > 0:11:38It'll grow into a beautiful vine that'll produce grapes

0:11:38 > 0:11:41that will make a beautiful bottle of Chianti.

0:11:41 > 0:11:42It's Hans Christian Anderson.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44It's the Ugly Duckling.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46You are such a romantic,

0:11:46 > 0:11:51and you are a much more attractive vine than I thought you were.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53So, how much is all this going to cost?

0:11:53 > 0:11:54Caro.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57It's an investment.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59But you would ask if you needed any help, wouldn't you, Gino?

0:11:59 > 0:12:02If you needed money or anything?

0:12:02 > 0:12:04I got the money.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06How long till they start producing?

0:12:06 > 0:12:07Oh, five years.

0:12:07 > 0:12:08Maybe ten.

0:12:11 > 0:12:15Well, ah, I need to get your mother back to Ash Park before her

0:12:15 > 0:12:17reputation's in tatters.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19Bye, Mama.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21Bye, Jack.

0:12:24 > 0:12:25Bye, Papa.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31Papa.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34Papa!

0:12:39 > 0:12:41Dear Prudence, do forgive me.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46Poor Norman was forced to remind me of the time.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49I was thoroughly absorbed by the Women's Weekly.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52Did you know they are planning to enter an all-women team

0:12:52 > 0:12:55in the Redex Car Trails? It's quite remarkable.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57Good on them. I can't think of anything worse.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59The lack of facilities. Can you imagine?

0:12:59 > 0:13:01They breed them differently these days.

0:13:01 > 0:13:05Clearly with scant regard for personal hygiene.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07Now, the fundraiser.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09The rest of the committee have seen fit to

0:13:09 > 0:13:11ignore your - how shall I put it -

0:13:11 > 0:13:15unconventional critique of the proposed event?

0:13:15 > 0:13:18If you're referring to my observation that the primary purpose

0:13:18 > 0:13:22of a fundraiser is to raise funds, I hardly regard that as a critique.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25Critique or not, it put a few noses out of joint.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32Douglas Goddard telephoned.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36Seems he tried to chase you down.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39Thought you might still be staying here.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41Oh, probably wanted a donation.

0:13:50 > 0:13:51Sarah, she is coming?

0:13:53 > 0:13:56She's in Sydney, remember?

0:13:56 > 0:13:57Her Aunt wasn't well.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59Peg?

0:13:59 > 0:14:00Mm.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02She did not tell me she was leaving.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05They're an independent lot these days, Rene.

0:14:07 > 0:14:08Bloody women.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17The rubbish that some of these so-called critics

0:14:17 > 0:14:18write about modern art.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21They probably think Monet is avant-garde.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23My wife just bought a Monet.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26Oh, I imagine it went with the wallpaper.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28Doesn't Jack serve breakfast?

0:14:28 > 0:14:29In more ways than one.

0:14:30 > 0:14:33Your sister thinks I'm an ignoramus.

0:14:33 > 0:14:34Don't take it personally.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36When I mentioned I liked Stubbs, she almost wept.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38I'd rather ride a horse than see it on a wall.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41Thankfully, George's political views are slightly more progressive.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43Well, not too progressive, I hope.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45We don't want to frighten the horses.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47CLOCK CHIMES Oh, if I don't get moving soon,

0:14:47 > 0:14:49my secretary's going to bring out the old whip,

0:14:49 > 0:14:52which might not be an altogether unpleasant experience.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54- Ladies.- I'll see you out.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57Tell me when they've confirmed pre-selection,

0:14:57 > 0:14:58and I'll get things rolling.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00As I said, George, I back winners.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02Well, we've had too many politicians around here who make promises

0:15:02 > 0:15:05they never keep. I do intend to get things done.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08That what we want to hear on the hustings.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11You're a shoe-in, George, but you do need a wife.

0:15:11 > 0:15:12I'll see you in Sydney.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23I didn't mean to scare you, Miss Olivia, I truly didn't.

0:15:23 > 0:15:24I love little Georgie.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27I know you do. I know.

0:15:27 > 0:15:31Let's just... We'll leave it at that, shall we?

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Thank you, Miss Olivia.

0:15:39 > 0:15:40Darling.

0:15:44 > 0:15:50I feel so silly, making all that fuss last night.

0:15:50 > 0:15:54But you don't think it a bit much she had our son in bed with her?

0:15:54 > 0:15:57Darling Livvy, you're like a tiger with her cub.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59You're right.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01Come here.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08Livvy.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10Not in front of the baby.

0:16:10 > 0:16:11It's not right.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16No. Course not.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34Thank you, sir. I do appreciate your time.

0:16:34 > 0:16:38- Hooroo, Ted. We'll see ya. - See ya, Roy.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40- He's a good bloke, Ted.- Yeah.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42- Where's that bloody dog gone? - HE WHISTLES

0:16:42 > 0:16:44Thank you for this, Roy.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47Given the circumstances, I didn't think it appropriate to

0:16:47 > 0:16:48call on the farmers in my vehicle.

0:16:48 > 0:16:52- ROY LAUGHS - Mr Bligh, your vehicle would have bust her hump up that first hill.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54- HE WHISTLES - Here!

0:16:54 > 0:16:57- Pretty serious about this politics lark, eh?- Yes, I am.

0:16:57 > 0:17:01I want to drag Inverness into the 20th century,

0:17:01 > 0:17:03kicking and screaming if need be.

0:17:03 > 0:17:04ROY LAUGHS

0:17:04 > 0:17:07You heard Ted. Two days of rain and this road's impassable.

0:17:07 > 0:17:08How's a man supposed

0:17:08 > 0:17:11to make a living if he can't even get his stock to market?

0:17:11 > 0:17:14Some people don't take too kindly to change.

0:17:14 > 0:17:16Which is why I may need your help.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18Well, I'll be glad to talk to 'em for ya.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21Whether or not they'll listen, that's another thing.

0:17:21 > 0:17:22Thank you, Roy.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27I'll drop you on the way to the hospital.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29Something I want to do for Missy.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33DOG BARKS

0:17:33 > 0:17:34Here! Get in the back!

0:17:36 > 0:17:40I thought I'd get you out and about, doing a bit of hard yakka.

0:17:40 > 0:17:44Ah, there's to be no hard yakka, just gentle physical work.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46Gentle.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48You understand?

0:17:48 > 0:17:51Um, Roy wants you to move back in with him. He's right.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54Fresh air and exercise will do you more good than lying about here.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56- I leave the hospital?- Too right.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58Today, if you like?

0:17:58 > 0:18:02I think the nurses will like not to have the scary man.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04- HE LAUGHS - Yeah.

0:18:04 > 0:18:05- KNOCK ON DOOR - I'll get it!

0:18:07 > 0:18:09DISTANT CONVERSATION

0:18:10 > 0:18:13No, I'm sorry, she was younger, blonde.

0:18:13 > 0:18:17You must mean my niece, Sarah. I'll just get her. Hang on a minute.

0:18:18 > 0:18:19Sarah!

0:18:23 > 0:18:24I telephoned the doctor. I told him

0:18:24 > 0:18:26Linda was unwell but he didn't listen.

0:18:26 > 0:18:27I overheard you were a nurse.

0:18:27 > 0:18:28SHE PANTS

0:18:28 > 0:18:31Yes. Yes, come in. She needs to lie down.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35STRAINED BREATHING

0:18:35 > 0:18:37I'm so sorry.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40Can I talk to you for a moment?

0:18:48 > 0:18:51Linda's very sick, Nancy. She needs to go to the hospital.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53No. If I take her to the hospital, they will report her.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56- She needs to see a doctor. - Can't you fix her?

0:18:56 > 0:18:58No. Only a doctor can help her now.

0:18:58 > 0:19:02They will report her to the police. It would kill her father.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04Right now, the only thing we need to be concerned about is

0:19:04 > 0:19:06saving your daughter's life.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09You think...Linda could die?

0:19:10 > 0:19:11Yes.

0:19:20 > 0:19:24- Call for you, Dr Duncan. - Ah, I'll take it in my office.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34Jack Duncan.

0:19:35 > 0:19:36Are you all right?

0:19:39 > 0:19:40Yes.

0:19:44 > 0:19:46Yes. Ah, get her here as soon as possible.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50Has the mother got a car?

0:19:52 > 0:19:53I'll organise transport.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56I'll think of something.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05- Elizabeth.- Jack telephoned me. He said you had urgent need

0:20:05 > 0:20:07of Norman's services.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10Sarah, I'm fully apprised of the situation.

0:20:10 > 0:20:11Come in.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20It was an incomplete procedure.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26Let's get you to the hospital.

0:20:28 > 0:20:29Here's your case, dear.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31Thanks, Peg.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34Oh, darling, I love you.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08Sarah!

0:21:09 > 0:21:11Where is Sarah?!

0:21:12 > 0:21:16Now calm down, dear old mate. She'll be home directly.

0:21:16 > 0:21:19Where do you want this? How about right there?

0:21:19 > 0:21:21I'll get a bit of grub on.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24Got a couple of lamb chops with your name written all over 'em.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40SOFT PIANO MUSIC PLAYS

0:21:47 > 0:21:49That's better, eh?

0:22:00 > 0:22:01Ugh...

0:22:01 > 0:22:05How often do they have to be watered?

0:22:05 > 0:22:07Every day for the first month.

0:22:07 > 0:22:08By hand?

0:22:08 > 0:22:10After that, once a week.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14So we...cart the water over here and then we

0:22:14 > 0:22:17water each one of them by hand, every day?

0:22:17 > 0:22:19One day we'll get irrigation.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21What about everything else, Gino?

0:22:21 > 0:22:24When...when do we find time to do all the rest of the work?

0:22:24 > 0:22:25Hey.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29Everything will be good.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31Yeah? It'll all work out.

0:22:32 > 0:22:34Come on, just one more row and we're done.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36But I haven't ridden Stardust in days.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39You can ride him tomorrow. I promise.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59Please, just wait here. I'll be back in a moment.

0:23:00 > 0:23:01You up to assisting?

0:23:01 > 0:23:03- Of course.- It'll just be the two of us.

0:23:05 > 0:23:08What's happening? Why aren't they saying anything?

0:23:08 > 0:23:11Your daughter is in the best of hands now.

0:23:12 > 0:23:13Linda is all I've got.

0:23:13 > 0:23:16You know you're going to have to be very strong. Come along.

0:23:16 > 0:23:17I'll wait with you.

0:23:20 > 0:23:21She's still bleeding.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23Blood pressure fluctuating.

0:23:25 > 0:23:26Thank you, Marjorie.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33She'll be all right, won't she?

0:23:33 > 0:23:34We'll do our best.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37Linda, my name is Jack Duncan.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40I'm a doctor here at Inverness. I'm going to be looking after you.

0:23:48 > 0:23:50Hysterectomy at 15.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57There's a lot of blood here.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59Thank you. And a bowl?

0:24:02 > 0:24:05Take a closer look at that, will you?

0:24:05 > 0:24:06Can't see for the blood.

0:24:08 > 0:24:09The uterine wall's perforated.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16Come on, Linda, stay with us.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22Why is it taking so long? They've been in there for hours.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24PHONE RINGS

0:24:29 > 0:24:31Inverness Hospital?

0:24:31 > 0:24:33Is that you, Mrs Collins?

0:24:33 > 0:24:35Yeah?

0:24:35 > 0:24:40Um, there was a young girl brought in earlier.

0:24:40 > 0:24:41Oh, yeah...

0:24:46 > 0:24:49As a matter of fact, I'm very worried, Mrs Bligh.

0:24:49 > 0:24:53They are still in surgery and it has been quite some time.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01These will go nicely in the dining room.

0:25:01 > 0:25:03And perhaps some white ones as well?

0:25:05 > 0:25:06Great Maiden's Blush.

0:25:09 > 0:25:10What did you say?

0:25:10 > 0:25:12Oh, it's the name of the rose.

0:25:12 > 0:25:16Father gave it to my mother on their first wedding anniversary.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19He always was a romantic.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23So, is this the young prince?

0:25:24 > 0:25:26Yes.

0:25:28 > 0:25:30Does he have a name?

0:25:30 > 0:25:33George. After his grandfather.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36And a fine, solid young fellow you are.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39I will try to do justice to you, young George.

0:25:40 > 0:25:42And particular justice to you.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00You look a little flushed, Olivia.

0:26:23 > 0:26:24I'm sorry.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28I couldn't stop the bleeding.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31I tried. There was nothing I could do.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33But you said...!

0:26:33 > 0:26:35- You said!- I'm so sorry.

0:26:36 > 0:26:37SHE CRIES

0:26:52 > 0:26:54HE SIGHS

0:26:58 > 0:27:00(Oh, Jack.)

0:27:12 > 0:27:18Barukh atah Adonai Eloheinu melekh ha'olam, dayan ha-emet.

0:27:21 > 0:27:22Ruptured appendix.

0:27:22 > 0:27:24I thought "miscarriage" was the usual euphemism

0:27:24 > 0:27:26on the death certificate.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30The man was a butcher.

0:27:30 > 0:27:32I had to remove the uterus and I still couldn't save...

0:27:32 > 0:27:34Elizabeth doesn't need to know the details.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37He should be struck off.

0:27:37 > 0:27:38He probably is struck off.

0:27:41 > 0:27:42Christ.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46She was 15. She was only a child.

0:27:46 > 0:27:50Maybe we shouldn't have brought her here. All that way.

0:27:50 > 0:27:52If she'd gone to a Sydney hospital

0:27:52 > 0:27:54- she might still... - Now, Jack, enough.

0:27:54 > 0:27:56You did the best you could.

0:27:56 > 0:27:58You really shouldn't be here, Elizabeth.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01You're too involved as it is.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03- Sarah's right.- Thank you both for your consideration,

0:28:03 > 0:28:04but it's quite unnecessary.

0:28:11 > 0:28:12I'll run you home.

0:28:27 > 0:28:28That could have been me.

0:28:33 > 0:28:34I almost went through with it.

0:28:36 > 0:28:37But you didn't.

0:28:43 > 0:28:46I don't know how I'm going to tell Rene about the baby.

0:28:50 > 0:28:52We often spoke of having children.

0:28:54 > 0:28:56And then the war came.

0:28:59 > 0:29:01I know it's going to break his heart.

0:29:05 > 0:29:07Hey, he may surprise you.

0:29:39 > 0:29:40Sarah.

0:30:08 > 0:30:10WHISPERING

0:30:10 > 0:30:12Evening, Dr Duncan. I thought you'd left.

0:30:12 > 0:30:15I have paperwork to finish. Sergeant Franklin?

0:30:15 > 0:30:18Got a bloke in lock up I want you to see.

0:30:18 > 0:30:19Got a nasty gash on his leg.

0:30:19 > 0:30:21And how'd he come by that?

0:30:21 > 0:30:23Came in with it.

0:30:24 > 0:30:27I hear you've had a busy night yourself.

0:30:27 > 0:30:28KNOCKING

0:30:28 > 0:30:30Yes.

0:30:31 > 0:30:34Mrs Bligh. I was going to leave you a message.

0:30:34 > 0:30:38I believe it was your car that brought the girl in here.

0:30:38 > 0:30:40Yes, it was.

0:30:40 > 0:30:44I might need you to make a statement to that effect in the near future.

0:30:44 > 0:30:45Might you?

0:30:45 > 0:30:47Right then.

0:30:48 > 0:30:49Sergeant.

0:30:51 > 0:30:53Remind me, the reason you didn't join up?

0:30:57 > 0:30:59Well, I couldn't.

0:30:59 > 0:31:02And I had to look after my mother.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04Hm.

0:31:04 > 0:31:06I miss your mother.

0:31:06 > 0:31:08I knew her well.

0:31:08 > 0:31:11As you know, we served on the War Memorial Committee together.

0:31:11 > 0:31:12Very competent woman.

0:31:12 > 0:31:15More than capable of running the farm single-handedly,

0:31:15 > 0:31:16I'd have thought.

0:31:19 > 0:31:20Mrs Bligh.

0:31:27 > 0:31:30I promised your mother I would look after you

0:31:30 > 0:31:32and I intend to keep that promise.

0:31:32 > 0:31:35You have more than acquitted that promise, we both know that.

0:31:35 > 0:31:37You're wrong, Jack.

0:31:37 > 0:31:38You went to war.

0:31:39 > 0:31:42You fought and suffered for this country.

0:31:43 > 0:31:45It's I who shall be forever in your debt.

0:31:51 > 0:31:54No, no, no, no, no, that needs to be in the middle of the room.

0:31:54 > 0:31:56Somewhere the men can gather around it.

0:32:00 > 0:32:02That's it. Very good.

0:32:07 > 0:32:09Feet secure...

0:32:09 > 0:32:11Yes. Thank you, Rodney.

0:32:50 > 0:32:52SHE STARTS PLAYING

0:32:55 > 0:33:01# When I grow too old to dream

0:33:01 > 0:33:08# I'll have you to remember

0:33:08 > 0:33:15# When I grow too old to dream

0:33:15 > 0:33:23# Your love will live in my heart

0:33:30 > 0:33:38# So kiss me, my sweet... #

0:33:38 > 0:33:44- MEN JOIN IN - # And so let us part

0:33:45 > 0:33:53# And when I grow too old to dream

0:33:53 > 0:34:00# That kiss will live in my heart

0:34:02 > 0:34:07# When I grow too old to dream

0:34:07 > 0:34:13# I'll have you to remember... #

0:34:13 > 0:34:15HORSE WHINNIES

0:35:00 > 0:35:04All this coming and going must put quite a strain on a relationship.

0:35:04 > 0:35:06Sydney's such a wild old place.

0:35:06 > 0:35:08Don't waste your breath, Regina.

0:35:08 > 0:35:11I've had better men than you try to rattle my cage.

0:35:11 > 0:35:13Carolyn had quite the reputation at one time.

0:35:14 > 0:35:16'Are you sure you're all right?'

0:35:16 > 0:35:18I'm very happy to stay.

0:35:18 > 0:35:20I'm fine, honestly.

0:35:20 > 0:35:21Regina has everything in hand.

0:35:24 > 0:35:27You promised you'd go with Olivia with Georgie to the hospital,

0:35:27 > 0:35:28remember?

0:35:30 > 0:35:33Regina isn't Elaine, George.

0:35:33 > 0:35:35They may look alike, but that's as far as it goes.

0:35:35 > 0:35:37It wasn't just Regina. It was Mother, too, remember?

0:35:37 > 0:35:40She is worming her way into this place far too much

0:35:40 > 0:35:42- and I don't trust her.- Carolyn...

0:35:43 > 0:35:44..you worry too much.

0:35:54 > 0:35:56Miss Art Reporter.

0:35:57 > 0:35:59I can do this, Jack. I know I can.

0:36:17 > 0:36:18There you are...

0:36:18 > 0:36:20- Edward.- ..Edward.

0:36:20 > 0:36:22What a brave little boy.

0:36:22 > 0:36:24A bit of redness and swelling is normal.

0:36:24 > 0:36:26He may get a slight temperature.

0:36:26 > 0:36:29Telephone or just contact us if you're at all worried.

0:36:29 > 0:36:32BABY CRIES Shh... It's all right.

0:36:34 > 0:36:35All done?

0:36:35 > 0:36:37He hasn't had the injection yet.

0:36:37 > 0:36:39CRYING INTENSIFIES

0:36:39 > 0:36:40Can I help?

0:36:40 > 0:36:44Oh, would you? He always settles for his grandfather.

0:36:44 > 0:36:47- Of course he does. - It's all right. Shh.

0:36:48 > 0:36:51I need to freshen up. I'll just be a moment.

0:37:04 > 0:37:06I believe it's baby George's turn.

0:37:09 > 0:37:12I hope Rene's enjoying the Satie.

0:37:12 > 0:37:15We seem to share similar tastes in music.

0:37:15 > 0:37:17Yes, he loves...

0:37:19 > 0:37:20George...

0:37:24 > 0:37:26These gifts, this kindness.

0:37:27 > 0:37:28It has to stop.

0:37:30 > 0:37:32I think it's best you stay away.

0:37:32 > 0:37:35- Sarah!- Ah, Olivia. Come on in.

0:37:35 > 0:37:36I am so glad it's you.

0:37:36 > 0:37:38Yes, well, the waiting's the worst.

0:37:54 > 0:37:55Oh, thank you.

0:37:55 > 0:37:57I've never seen the men so happy.

0:37:58 > 0:38:01So...engaged.

0:38:01 > 0:38:03I talk to them, of course. I make sure they're fed,

0:38:03 > 0:38:06but this, this was living. They were...alive.

0:38:08 > 0:38:10I must be going. May I leave this here?

0:38:10 > 0:38:12Yes, yes, of course.

0:38:12 > 0:38:14- My coat?- Ah, I hung it up. I'll get it for you.

0:38:21 > 0:38:24I have so many ideas for this place.

0:38:24 > 0:38:26Things we could do with the men.

0:38:26 > 0:38:28If it's not too much of an imposition,

0:38:28 > 0:38:29I'd really like to talk to you about them.

0:38:29 > 0:38:32Oh, certainly, Mr Goddard. I'd be most interested.

0:38:32 > 0:38:34Well, if you're not doing anything this evening,

0:38:34 > 0:38:35perhaps we might have dinner.

0:38:38 > 0:38:39I don't think so.

0:38:41 > 0:38:43B-B-But thank you for the invitation.

0:38:47 > 0:38:51If Prudence Swanson could have seen you with those men.

0:39:00 > 0:39:03A toast to the Chronicle's newest art critic!

0:39:03 > 0:39:07Well, I'm not going to drink to something that may never happen.

0:39:07 > 0:39:08You haven't even written anything

0:39:08 > 0:39:11yet, and has it occurred to you Sir Richard may not like what you write?

0:39:11 > 0:39:13Don't be so presbyterian, Mother.

0:39:13 > 0:39:15I don't expect him to like what I write.

0:39:15 > 0:39:17I expect him to publish what I write.

0:39:17 > 0:39:18Vanity, thy name is woman.

0:39:20 > 0:39:21Oh, all right.

0:39:22 > 0:39:24Thank you.

0:39:24 > 0:39:26There are two openings next Wednesday.

0:39:26 > 0:39:28I plan to go to both.

0:39:28 > 0:39:31One of the artists is very avant-garde.

0:39:31 > 0:39:35You have a good brain, Carolyn. It's about time it was used.

0:39:39 > 0:39:41Oh, good heavens.

0:39:42 > 0:39:44Oh, is that a flea?

0:39:44 > 0:39:46Where on earth have you been, Mother?

0:39:46 > 0:39:49Playing piano at a returned servicemen's refuge all day,

0:39:49 > 0:39:50since you ask.

0:39:52 > 0:39:54Suddenly at a loss for words?

0:39:54 > 0:39:58Not a very good omen for your future career, I wouldn't have thought.

0:40:08 > 0:40:10Why were you working at Carlo's?

0:40:10 > 0:40:11I was helping a friend.

0:40:13 > 0:40:16You've got to learn to say no, Gino.

0:40:16 > 0:40:19I'm not saying it's not good to help friends, it is,

0:40:19 > 0:40:22but...we don't have the time to do our own work,

0:40:22 > 0:40:23let alone anyone else's.

0:40:23 > 0:40:26Gino!

0:40:26 > 0:40:27Maybe he will help us one day.

0:40:29 > 0:40:33The men were initially a little reticent, but we persisted.

0:40:33 > 0:40:36I have completely exhausted my wartime repertoire.

0:40:36 > 0:40:37I never knew you had one.

0:40:40 > 0:40:43I found the whole experience profoundly moving.

0:40:44 > 0:40:47Mr Goddard said he'd never seen the men look so alive.

0:40:47 > 0:40:49No, what was the word he used?

0:40:49 > 0:40:51"Engaged." That was it.

0:40:51 > 0:40:54He said the men were "engaged".

0:40:54 > 0:40:56These men, they're all war veterans?

0:40:59 > 0:41:02Yeah, damaged beyond repair, some of them.

0:41:03 > 0:41:05Jack was lucky to have you.

0:41:07 > 0:41:12So, tell me, who is this Mr Goddard you keep talking about?

0:41:13 > 0:41:14Douglas Goddard?

0:41:14 > 0:41:18I've mentioned his name precisely twice.

0:41:18 > 0:41:20- Goddard's Menswear?- Mm.

0:41:20 > 0:41:23Widower, about your age?

0:41:23 > 0:41:26I am interested in the welfare of our returned servicemen,

0:41:26 > 0:41:27and so is Mr Goddard.

0:41:29 > 0:41:32Has Regina been behaving herself?

0:41:32 > 0:41:36That woman has an uncanny knack for making herself invaluable to George.

0:41:36 > 0:41:38You know, I cannot credit your brother's apparent

0:41:38 > 0:41:40inability to see through her wiles.

0:41:40 > 0:41:42- This is George we're talking about, Mother.- Hmm.

0:41:42 > 0:41:44Sweet, kind George.
