0:00:02 > 0:00:06- Is the baby mine?- Yes. - Does Rene know?- Yes.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10But we decided to raise it as our own.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12So, we cart the water over here
0:00:12 > 0:00:15and then we water each one of them by hand every day?
0:00:15 > 0:00:17One day, we'll get irrigation.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19But what about everything else, Gino?
0:00:19 > 0:00:23- When...when do we find time to do all the rest of the work?- Hey.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29Everything will be good. Yeah? It'll all work out.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31I have to say, I was shocked when you printed my last piece,
0:00:31 > 0:00:34especially as I didn't write a single word you asked me to.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Are you going back to Ash Park or are you staying in town?
0:00:36 > 0:00:39I'm in the city. I have an apartment here.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40How convenient.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42It's Reg's funeral on Friday.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Just going to be me and a few of the men.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Would you mind...?
0:00:47 > 0:00:49- I'd like to be there. - Oh, that'd be wonderful.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55This, whatever this is, it has to stop.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Did you sleep with my wife?
0:00:57 > 0:01:00That's probably the one thing I haven't done with her.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Argh!
0:01:01 > 0:01:05How could you? After everything we've been through.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07You told me I was enough.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08So, this is it, then?
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Is this our arrangement?
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- Is James here?- No. What's happened?
0:01:19 > 0:01:21If he contacts you, let me know.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- James.- You said if I ever needed a friend...
0:01:27 > 0:01:32I've spent the past 20 years raising someone else's child, but I...
0:01:33 > 0:01:36..I could never stand back and watch...
0:01:37 > 0:01:40..someone else play father to mine. I...
0:01:41 > 0:01:45And I've done my best to respect your marriage.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47This baby, it changes everything.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Rene?
0:01:51 > 0:01:54I told you to stay away. Shut up!
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- Let go!- Sarah!
0:02:50 > 0:02:52'George.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53'George?
0:02:54 > 0:02:55'George!'
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Come on, you dreamer. Up you get.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04No time for lazing about, son. There's work to be done!
0:03:05 > 0:03:07HORSE WHINNIES
0:03:12 > 0:03:13Good morning.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Could someone organise some flowers next to my father's photograph
0:03:17 > 0:03:18for my mother's arrival?
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- It's the anniversary of his death today.- Of course.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26I've given some thought to what you said postponing the christening.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Now, I can have a word to Reverend Green if you like.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31No, please, you were right.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33James will return.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Regina.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45I'm just here to give Olivia my christening gift -
0:03:45 > 0:03:47a silver spoon.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48- Are you going somewhere?- Sydney.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Is it about James? Have you heard anything?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53I'm having lunch with Sir Richard.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Be careful of Dicky, George. He bites.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02I'm aware of that, but thank you.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06CAR ENGINE STARTS
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- Rose!- Oh, good morning, Mrs Standish.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Aren't you a busy little bee, polishing all the silver?
0:04:20 > 0:04:25- For the christening.- Is Master James returning today or tomorrow?
0:04:25 > 0:04:26I couldn't be certain, ma'am.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29I have an urgent message I need delivered to him.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Do you know where he's staying?
0:04:31 > 0:04:32Well, you must have some idea.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Surely Mrs Bligh's in regular contact
0:04:35 > 0:04:37with her husband via telephone.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Well, you see, Mrs Standish, there was an argument...
0:04:41 > 0:04:43..between Mr James and Miss Olivia.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Miss Olivia was very upset,
0:04:45 > 0:04:48and Mr James set off for Sydney straight after.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50They say he's at his father's club, but...
0:04:50 > 0:04:52But what?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55But he's not been answering Mr Bligh's messages.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- Perhaps he's staying with a friend. - I wouldn't know.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04I seem to recall James and the surgeon Mr Fox
0:05:04 > 0:05:06were very friendly.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Mr Fox lives in Sydney.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Yes, he does. Such a handsome man. SHE GIGGLES
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Well, don't let me keep you, child. All that silver won't polish itself.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20To the left.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23To the right.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Good.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- And no cramps or discomfort at all?- No.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- How's Rene?- Actually, he'd...
0:05:40 > 0:05:43..like to know when you're coming in to visit.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45He's been quite clear.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48I've reduced his sedation over the week. Still on a small dose.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Maybe in another day or so.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Or this afternoon, if you're up to it.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Is something the matter? - Come in. We'll talk about it.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Please just tell me straight. - DOG BARKS
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Well, someone's glad to see you up and about.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- How are you going, doc?- Good.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08I was just saying to Sarah Rene's keen to see her.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13I've got to go into town this morning for some supplies.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15You could come in with me if you'd like.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Well, I might see you later, then.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Course, if you'd rather not, that's all right too.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- HORN HONKS - There he is.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51The sooner he shakes them up in Parliament, the better.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Thought I might build a cradle for when that baby comes.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10It'll all work out all right. You know that, don't you?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12If you're worried at first, Rene can take the lean-to for a while.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14There's no need for that.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Well, if you want me to come in with you today, you just say the word.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- All right, should we sit? - Just tell me.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Dis-moi.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32You are my wife and you are afraid of me.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Not of you.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39Parfois, I am...not...in control.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40Of his own thoughts.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Oui. My brain...
0:07:48 > 0:07:50I'm going to have the operation.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- I've been speaking to Patrick Kelly over the last couple of days.- I see.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- He's the best neurosurgeon in Sydney.- Yes.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01He's offered to hold a space on his surgical list.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03You both know the prognosis of surgery.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- Kelly and I see it the same way. - And how do you see it, Rene?
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Well, the shrapnel, it is removed in surgery
0:08:12 > 0:08:16and...more damage neurological.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Or I die on the table.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Or I make a complete recovery.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25This is the one I want.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29I am a fighter. We both are.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38The risks are too great.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45I can't allow you to have the operation.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- It is my decision, Sarah. - No, it's not.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- Um, Sarah...- Jack, legally,
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Rene would not be deemed to be of sound mind.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55He'd be unable to sign the consent forms.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- You know that as well as I do. - Is it true?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00As your wife, Rene, only I can sign the consent,
0:09:00 > 0:09:01and I won't do it.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04You are afraid of me. I am afraid of me.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06When the baby comes, how can I be a father?
0:09:06 > 0:09:07I must never be alone with it.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Sarah...
0:09:13 > 0:09:14..I can sign it...
0:09:18 > 0:09:20..as Rene's doctor.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22This is my decision to make. Not yours.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29- I won't sign it.- Sarah... - It's too risky.- I cannot take this.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31In two years' time, in even one year's time,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34who knows how much this surgery will improve. Let's just...
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- We'll wait and see. - Sarah, you know I have...
0:09:36 > 0:09:39I will not sign his death warrant!
0:09:39 > 0:09:40And neither will you.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54'Something was wrong between her and Paolo.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56'She couldn't put her finger on it.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57'Charmaine had had a blissful visit...
0:09:57 > 0:10:00'When she arrived back after the long train journey,
0:10:00 > 0:10:01'he'd forgot to meet her...
0:10:01 > 0:10:05'The farmhouse felt cold and sad. Paolo seemed even more distant...
0:10:05 > 0:10:07'She felt as though she was being punished for something,
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- 'but what had she done wrong?' - Anna, come on!
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Coming!
0:10:22 > 0:10:28You know, if there was an easy way to get these baby vines watered...
0:10:29 > 0:10:31And don't forget, after you've finished that,
0:10:31 > 0:10:34the patch out the back needs to be tilled, yeah?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- And fertiliser on the beans. It's on my list.- Yeah.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38So is boxing the tomatoes.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Well, boxing tomatoes, boxing tom-ay-toes.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Boxing potatoes, boxing pot-at-oes.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47SHE GIGGLES
0:10:47 > 0:10:49That was my joke of the day.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- I've got to go to work at Carlo's. - Again?- Yeah, I promised.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59You're too kind, Gino. This is every day now.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02You ride the horse every day.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05A thoroughbred has to be ridden every day. You know that.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Isn't that what they're paid for at Ash Park? The stablehands?
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- I could drive you to Carlo's. - No, I'm going to walk.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Just...clear my head.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- You what?- I've given it a great deal of thought.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Don't think I've made this decision lightly.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38I don't give a damn how you made the decision. It's wrong.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40You've got pre-selection, so now why would you pull the pin?
0:11:40 > 0:11:42My priorities have changed.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45George.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47George, I like you.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Now, you and I know that all this talk
0:11:49 > 0:11:52about Australia being a classless society
0:11:52 > 0:11:55is a load of lefty propaganda.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58A man like you would be the conduit between the classes.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Hell, you play your cards right, you could be Prime Minister one day.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Not any more.- Why?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- My reasons are personal. - There's no personal in public life.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Does this have anything to do with a married Jewess?
0:12:12 > 0:12:14You won't have a political future
0:12:14 > 0:12:16if you tie yourself to baggage like that.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19As I've said, I no longer want a political future.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21It is about the Jew.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24My reasons are my own. I ask you to respect that.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27I've already started talking to people about you.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Your withdrawal will be a personal embarrassment.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32And I apologise for that sincerely.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Bligh can have the bloody bill.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Get your woolly head out of that blasted book.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48- I didn't bring you here to read. - Yes, Father.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Look, you see that fellow over there?
0:12:51 > 0:12:56That's Syd Gregory. Played 60 tests for Australia.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00And Rogers over there won the Victoria Cross in the Boer War.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05If you want to make your mark, you need to pull up your bootstraps,
0:13:05 > 0:13:09face the world, be a man.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- Mr Goddard.- Mrs Bligh.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Oh, Mr Goddard. Heard so much about you.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30- All favourable, I hope. - Mr Goddard, my daughter Carolyn.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Thank you, Carolyn. I'll meet you at the car.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- I hope to see you again.- Mm.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38- You're leaving? - Returning to Ash Park.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43- My great-grandson's christening. - Oh, a happy occasion.- Yes.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- When will you be back? - I'm undecided.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Um, I just wanted to thank you for coming to Reg's funeral.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Oh, these are unnecessary, but thank you.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Well, it meant a lot to the men.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59He'd become quite special to them.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02And to me.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- They're just flowers. - I must be going.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Mrs Bligh, when you come back...
0:14:13 > 0:14:15..let's continue this conversation.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Come in.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- Mrs Standish.- Mr Fox.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I hope I'm not disturbing the great surgeon at his work.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Oh, just writing some reports for the medical board.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46I welcome the disturbance. Please come in.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49It's nice to see you again.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52I'm staying with friends in town and it struck me,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55I never thanked you properly for saving dear George's life.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- I know a man loves his cigars. - Montecristo.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Well, I was simply doing what I'm paid to do.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Gifts like this are really not necessary.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09- Not necessary, but it's so nice to be appreciated.- Well, thank you.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12I'll be sure to enjoy them with a glass of Courvoisier.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Before I leave you to your accounting,
0:15:15 > 0:15:17I have a small favour to ask.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21I was hoping you might pass this on to James.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- James...?- Bligh.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- Why would I be seeing James Bligh? - James is in Sydney.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34He might also wish to...express his gratitude.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36And if he does, I ask that you give him this.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Good day, Mr Fox.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Mrs Standish.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09I've been trying to find you.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11I was hoping we might talk.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15After all you've been through in your life,
0:16:15 > 0:16:17you deserve for things to be easier now.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Now that you're going to be a mother.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22You deserve to feel safe,
0:16:22 > 0:16:25so that you can give your baby all the love that you have.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30And you will be a wonderful mother. I know that.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35One who'll probably be going back to work, knowing you,
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- never mind what anyone thinks. - We'll see.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44But your child - our child -
0:16:44 > 0:16:49deserves a secure, loving, stable family life.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55And we can do that, Sarah. We can raise our child together.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- We can learn to love each other again.- Please, George.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00I'm not saying that we don't look after Rene.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02He'll have the very best of medical care.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- He'll still be part of your life. - I could never do that.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07This is our chance for happiness.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- You can do that. - I'm married to Rene.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13I've just withdrawn from pre-selection.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- Our private lives will be our own. - You should never have done that.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19This is what is important now. It has to be. Our child.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21We have to give our child the future it deserves.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24- A future that we plan together. - George, stop.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26How can you love Rene? He's not the man he was.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32You have no right to speak to me like this -
0:17:32 > 0:17:34about who Rene was.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37We have nothing left to say.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- Welcome back, Mrs Bligh. - Thank you, um...- Rose.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Ro...Rose. SHE CHUCKLES
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Would you mind putting these in a vase and on the piano
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- with something under the vase? - Yes, ma'am.- I'll be off.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- I'll get something to eat at the hospital.- Say hello to Jack for me.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- Try not to cause too much trouble. - SHE CHUCKLES
0:18:09 > 0:18:10Elizabeth.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- It's been so long.- Olivia. How's our little fellow?
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- I've so missed his smiles. - George is sleeping.- Ah.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23He's not still keeping you awake at night, is he?
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- No, no, he's much improved.- Ah.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Now, I saw the other maids cleaning out the groundsman's quarters.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31I'm assuming the artist fellow has left.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- I'd very much like to view the portrait.- Ah.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37We had to ask him to leave.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40The portrait was thoroughly unsuitable, I'm afraid.
0:18:40 > 0:18:41Oh.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47Oh, well, I can't say I'm surprised. He is a friend of Carolyn's
0:18:47 > 0:18:50and her taste does tend toward the avant-garde.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54- Well, yes.- Where's James? - He's in Sydney.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- And when's he due back? - Today or tomorrow.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Well, let's hope it's today.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10You might as well stay.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- "Might as well"? - SHE LAUGHS
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Well, you've got to come back for the christening anyway.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Such a romantic proposition. How can I say no?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22You know I'd love to, Jack, but I have a meeting with Sir Richard.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- What was that look?- No look. - I'm trying to convince him
0:19:27 > 0:19:30to profile some of the newer, more experimental artists.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Well, if anyone can convince him of that, you can.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- With my devious, feminine wiles? - Well, not so devious.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41Are you saying I'm tactless and gauche, Dr Duncan?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43You are a thoroughly modern woman, Carolyn,
0:19:43 > 0:19:46but Sir Richard's an old-fashioned bloke.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Sir Richard is a pussycat. I can handle him.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55But I promise I will be careful if you promise not to be jealous.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- Jealous?- Mm.- With this money, power and influence?
0:19:58 > 0:20:01SHE LAUGHS Besides,
0:20:01 > 0:20:03I've got something he doesn't have.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- You old Romeo, you. - HE CHUCKLES
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- KNOCK AT DOOR - Excuse me, Mr Bligh.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Mr Briggs is here and asking to see you.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Don't mean to be a bother, Mr Bligh, if it's not a good time.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Course not, Roy. Come in.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38I take it by the look on your face you don't want one.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Oh, don't go putting words in my mouth, Mr Bligh.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43I see you're back from the big smoke,
0:20:43 > 0:20:47so I thought now would be as good a time as any to catch up.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Cheers. I've done just as you asked.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51I've spoken to most of the farmers hereabouts,
0:20:51 > 0:20:53and I can guarantee you their support,
0:20:53 > 0:20:55especially when it comes to that rotten coal mine.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Roy, I appreciate everything you've done for me. I do.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- But I've decided not to run after all.- Come again?
0:21:02 > 0:21:06- I've withdrawn my candidacy. - But you were a dead cert, Mr Bligh.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08There are no guarantees in life.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10People round here are counting on you.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12They'll have to count on somebody else.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14When you spoke, you got everyone all excited for a change.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17I'm sure the party will find a better representative than me.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- Who? There's none better. - Perhaps you could run.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30I thought the Blighs were men of their word.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36'Don't make me ashamed of you, George.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39'I've paid the lady for her services.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41'Don't insult her or me.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42'George!'
0:21:42 > 0:21:44George.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53- Mother.- Hello, George. - How are you today?- Well, thank you.
0:21:54 > 0:21:59- Today will always be a day of reflection.- Yes, indeed.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Can I organise someone to take you to father's grave?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06No, I can make my own arrangements, thank you.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11- Why is James not here? - He and Olivia had an argument.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Now, I didn't pry, and I trust you won't either.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- I should tell you I've withdrawn from- pre-selection. Oh...
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Please, Mother, spare me the lecture and queen and country.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28George, what possible reason...?
0:22:30 > 0:22:34- Has this to do with Sarah? - Why on earth would it?
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Mrs Nordmann's concerned with her sick husband.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Probably will be for the rest of her life.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54HORSE WHINNIES
0:23:01 > 0:23:04It's not what it looks like.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- Oh, is this the new farm hand? - I'm going to keep Stardust here
0:23:07 > 0:23:10so that I don't have to keep going back to Ash Park.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12You were right. It'll save me an hour a day.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Oh, no, you're not thinking like a farmer.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Well, forgive me, but that's probably because
0:23:16 > 0:23:19I haven't been doing it for very long.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21- Where are you going? - To put her in the shed.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- The shed's full of hay. - Well, then, we'll have to move it.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26No, she stays in the paddock with a blanket.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Gino, I'm trying to solve our problems
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- by finding more hours in the day. - And you brought the problem here.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32Why are you being like this?
0:23:32 > 0:23:34It's a horse for a mansion, not a farmer's horse.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Well, you didn't marry a farmer.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39You married me, and I'm doing my best.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Don't you remember what you said to me?
0:23:41 > 0:23:43You said that you don't want me to be like your mamma.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Not tied to the kitchen sink in an apron
0:23:46 > 0:23:48working my fingers to the bone.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- But somehow, I think that is exactly what you want.- No, I don't.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57When the hay is sold, I'll put her in the shed.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58It's getting cold at night.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- My dear James.- Reggie.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21You received my message.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Please, sit.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32I want you to know that,
0:24:32 > 0:24:35no matter what choices you've made in your life,
0:24:35 > 0:24:37I will never stop supporting you.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Having never been blessed with children of my own,
0:24:41 > 0:24:44my dear sister wanted me to think of you as a son.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47And I do.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Well, that's exactly what I said to him.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56No, I want you to talk to him, make him see some sense.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00- What are you doing here? - We have a meeting scheduled.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Sorry, but I'm too busy to talk about art right now.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06I'm trying to sort out this brouhaha your brother's made.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07George? What's he done?
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Oh, nothing for you to worry about. I'm dealing with it.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Well, when you've dealt with it,
0:25:12 > 0:25:14perhaps you'll take the time to read my proposal.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17I haven't got the time to read anything.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Not even my own newspaper.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21So, when will you? I'd like to discuss my ideas with you.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25We'll have to find time outside office hours
0:25:25 > 0:25:27to talk about your ideas.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Perhaps tonight, I'll drop by your place.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32I make a mean martini. PHONE RINGS
0:25:32 > 0:25:33- Perhaps.- Bennett.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Of course I know. Who do you think told him?
0:25:36 > 0:25:39He broke the news to me today at the club.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44He didn't give me a reason, did he?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47They're not bothered. Was worth a pinch of salt, hmm?
0:25:50 > 0:25:53We had an argument. We both said some things.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- I had to leave. - Is there anything I can do?- No.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03Thank you, Reggie, but...Olivia and I...
0:26:06 > 0:26:08..our relationship is complicated.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12I know what it's like to be judged for not conforming to convention.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15You deserve true happiness.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18That's why I can't return to Ash Park, Reggie.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23You must. You must.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25For your wife and child.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30You can live any life you choose,
0:26:30 > 0:26:33but that doesn't mean you can forsake your responsibilities.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35You sound just like a friend of mine.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38It takes courage, James.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42And even a courageous man needs a shoulder to lean on.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46Let me be that shoulder.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16MOANING
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Get out. I said, "Get out!"
0:28:24 > 0:28:26That...that's disgusting.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29You're disgusting.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32Hit me back.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35I said, "Hit me!" Be a man!
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Hit me, George. Come on!
0:28:49 > 0:28:51HORSE WHINNIES
0:29:12 > 0:29:14KNOCK AT DOOR
0:29:22 > 0:29:26- Elizabeth.- I heard your husband's in hospital again.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29I'm so sorry. I thought I'd come and see how you're bearing up.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35I'm sure Rene believes he'll practise again.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Go back to being a surgeon?
0:29:38 > 0:29:42- I imagine he was a very good one. - He was brilliant.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47No matter how dreadful the conditions of surgery,
0:29:47 > 0:29:50he'd just improvise his way through it.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53People were in awe of him.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55- A remarkable man.- He was.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Surely, he can be again.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Not without this operation, Elizabeth, which could kill him.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06Or cure him.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Is it selfish of me to deny him this opportunity?
0:30:11 > 0:30:12Oh, my dear...
0:30:14 > 0:30:16..all I know is that you will have given this
0:30:16 > 0:30:18a great deal of serious thought.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25- You've been so strong through all of this.- I'm tired.
0:30:25 > 0:30:26Tired of being strong.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32In my experience, sometimes the strongest thing one can do
0:30:32 > 0:30:35is to know when to relinquish control.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Easier said than done, though.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Especially when it involves the destiny of those we love.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51- A scarf.- Oh.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Now she probably has children of her own.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02You are a fighter, my love.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06Everything is chance.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12What were the chances we would survive the war,
0:32:12 > 0:32:13find each other again?
0:32:15 > 0:32:18You've made your decision,
0:32:18 > 0:32:19and I will honour it.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39I'm sorry, lad.
0:33:39 > 0:33:40Bligh.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45He must've been thrown from his horse.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Father? Father?
0:33:51 > 0:33:53I'm sorry.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Please, Father. Father!
0:34:27 > 0:34:31Now, that is the perfect martini.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Almost makes up for your earlier rudeness.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35SHE GIGGLES
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Another one? SHE LAUGHS
0:34:38 > 0:34:40For a Knight Commander, you're incorrigible.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44I've been called a lot worse, mostly from my adoring wife.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Well, we mustn't drink too much. This is a business meeting.
0:34:47 > 0:34:48Here's to business.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53I want to write about what is happening in Sydney now,
0:34:53 > 0:34:56not ten years ago. There's been a real invigoration with the arts
0:34:56 > 0:35:00- with all the new migrants coming in. - Not wogs and balts?
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Also known as European immigrants, Sir Richard.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06- Oh, enough of the "Sir Richard". Call me Dicky!- Oh!
0:35:06 > 0:35:08KNOCK AT DOOR
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Excuse me.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Jack, what are you doing here?
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Well, I came to town to brief the surgeon,
0:35:18 > 0:35:20thought I'd spend the night.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24- Oh, I...- Not a good time? - No, no. Come on in.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- What's he doing here? - It's a business meeting.
0:35:34 > 0:35:39Oh, so, this is the business meeting you were telling me about?
0:35:39 > 0:35:41No, not exactly. Look, just give me half an hour to get rid of him.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44- No, no, no, no. You take all the time you need.- Jack.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48- You promised to be careful. - And you promised not to be jealous.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51- Oh, so, there's something going on I should be jealous of, is there?- No.
0:35:51 > 0:35:52- Great.- Jack!
0:35:54 > 0:35:55Jack!
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Why not?
0:36:26 > 0:36:30Father...was not the man that he pretended to be.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35All that talk of manliness...
0:36:36 > 0:36:38..was a bloody charade.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- It was a lie. - George, what are you talking about?
0:36:41 > 0:36:43The day he died...
0:36:44 > 0:36:46..I saw him in the stables.
0:36:50 > 0:36:51He wasn't alone.
0:36:53 > 0:36:54He was with another man.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03I hoped you'd never find out.
0:37:04 > 0:37:05You knew?
0:37:09 > 0:37:11I'm so sorry.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Well, you of all people have nothing to apologise for.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18He killed himself because of me.
0:37:18 > 0:37:19I...
0:37:22 > 0:37:23I confronted him. I...
0:37:25 > 0:37:26I said he was disgusting.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Your father fell from his horse.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- It was an accident. - It wasn't an accident!
0:37:34 > 0:37:38George, your father's death had nothing to do with you.
0:37:38 > 0:37:43Oh, I can't believe you've carried this burden all these years.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49It had everything to do with his own demons.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51He was a man who loathed himself.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55I was never good enough for him. I was never manly enough.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59I was a failure in his eyes.
0:38:02 > 0:38:03George, that's not true.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Your father loved you very much.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12He was so hard on you because he was the weak one.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16You're not him, George.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22George, none of this is your fault. None of it.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28I made a decision years ago that none of this would be spoken of.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32And I was wrong.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Can you forgive me?
0:38:53 > 0:38:55So many secrets.
0:38:57 > 0:38:58Yes.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Ah-ah-ah. Mm-mm. No more.
0:39:07 > 0:39:12- Oh, hey.- No, not until you've done what you came here to do.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16I didn't come here to read some proposal, sweetheart.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Fine. We will discuss it like grown-ups, then.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Didn't come here to talk about art either.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26I couldn't give two hoots about bloody art.
0:39:29 > 0:39:34- Oh! Well, then this meeting is over. - You're a beautiful woman, Carolyn.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Oh, don't be a boor.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39HE LAUGHS Who are you calling a boor?
0:39:39 > 0:39:42- I think I've had enough gin. - SHE LAUGHS
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Whoa, I think you've had enough too, Dicky.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47- I like a forceful woman.- Mm.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Believe it or not, sycophants make me sick.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Now, I want you to pretend you're my equal.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54- Well, I am your equal. - That's a girl.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57- Sir Richard, please. - Actually, you're all woman
0:39:57 > 0:39:58and you're driving me crazy.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00- HE LAUGHS - I want you to leave.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Don't pretend this isn't exactly what you want.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07You've been playing games with me for weeks.
