0:00:02 > 0:00:03- Did you sleep with my wife? - HE GRUNTS
0:00:03 > 0:00:05How could you?
0:00:05 > 0:00:08I don't want some sordid arrangement, I want you!
0:00:09 > 0:00:12I've given some thought to what you said, postponing the christening.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15No, please. You were right.
0:00:15 > 0:00:16James will return.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Is James here?
0:00:18 > 0:00:19No. What's happened?
0:00:19 > 0:00:22If he contacts you, let me know.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26I know what it's like to be judged, for not conforming to convention.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28That's why I can't return to Ash Park, Reggie.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31- I've got to go to work at Carlo's. - Again?!
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Yeah, I promised.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35You're too kind, Gino. This is every day now.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37The vines, they're not growing like they should.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Gino, what do you mean?
0:00:39 > 0:00:41They should look healthier. There was a frost this morning.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44You are a thoroughly modern woman, Carolyn,
0:00:44 > 0:00:47but Sir Richard's an old-fashioned bloke.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Sir Richard is a pussycat. I can handle him.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52- Give me a kiss.- I said no!
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- No-one says no to me.- Agh!
0:01:01 > 0:01:05The only thing you need to make you unbeatable is the right wife.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08If I may make a suggestion - remove the tie.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17I've been speaking to Patrick Kelly.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19He's the best neurosurgeon in Sydney.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21The risks are too great.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23I'm going to have the operation.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- A remarkable man.- He was.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Surely he can be again?
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Not without this operation, Elizabeth, which could kill him.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Roy's out front to take you to the station.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10IN FRENCH:
0:02:19 > 0:02:20Sarah...
0:02:39 > 0:02:41I'll see you very soon.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56We need to take action, George.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59This new candidate could be a serious threat at the election.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01I'm not too concerned about him.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03He doesn't have any more experience than I do.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04He has a blonde pretty wife
0:03:04 > 0:03:07and all the blokes turn up at the rallies just to get a look at her.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- It hardly matters.- And the ladies turn up to see what she's wearing.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12I understand my situation isn't ideal.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Then make it ideal, man.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16No doubt you could have your pick.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Oh, forgive the interruption. Sir Richard.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21No interruption at all. I've said my piece.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Now the by-election is not too far away.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25It's going to mean speeches, campaigning,
0:03:25 > 0:03:27shaking hands, kissing babies.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29You'll need someone to arrange your schedule.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- I'll get an assistant.- Or a wife!
0:03:32 > 0:03:33Certainly would be more economical.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Would you like to stay for lunch,
0:03:36 > 0:03:38or join us at the church for my grandson's christening?
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Lunch sounds tempting. Church, however, is bad for my health.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44I'll see you downstairs. Mrs Bligh.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- Any word from James?- No.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I left another message at the Australia this morning.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54This has gone on long enough.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57And with your campaign about to begin in earnest.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Well, I'm sure he won't do anything to cast a shadow on that.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18HE EXHALES
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- KNOCK ON DOOR - 'Miss Olivia?'
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Please go away.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33'I'm sorry, a parcel arrived for you.'
0:04:34 > 0:04:36I don't want it.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39'No return address. I thought it might be from...'
0:04:44 > 0:04:45From James?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Would you like me to help you get ready this morning?
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Not right now, thank you.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04KNOCK ON DOOR
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Please, Rose, just leave me be.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07'Olivia.'
0:05:08 > 0:05:10'May I come in?'
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Of course.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Forgive me.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Are you going to start dressing soon?
0:05:28 > 0:05:29I can't.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Olivia, there's no such word as can't.
0:05:33 > 0:05:39How will I stand there, in front of everyone, without James?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Everything's fallen apart!
0:05:42 > 0:05:47Oh, sweet Olivia! This is not your fault.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50James is treating you most thoughtlessly.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Only because...I hurt him.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Well, whatever was said, it will pass.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00He'll be here, you'll see.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01When?
0:06:02 > 0:06:05But today is our little Georgie's day.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Hmm?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Oh, dear.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34TRUCK ENGINE STOPS
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Sorry, Caro. I just had to finish that chapter.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43What's happened?
0:06:45 > 0:06:46They're all dead.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Every single one of them.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54How? We've...we've been so careful.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57It's my fault. I'm a fool.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00No, darling. There must be something that we can do.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04We planted too late.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06Testa di cazzo.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12We can buy more, and we can plant them next spring.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14With what, Anna? We put everything into this. It's over.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Everything I've worked for.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23It's all right.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Excuse me, er, could you tell me, that woman's husband...?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42You mean Mrs Nordmann? Do you know her?
0:07:42 > 0:07:46I'm a friend, from Inverness. It's a small place, very tight-knit.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50She hasn't left that seat since her husband went in for surgery, poor woman.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51My heart does go out to her.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Could you tell me the moment the operation is finished?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58I don't want to trouble Sarah at a time like this,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01but we're so very concerned back at home.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05For the inconvenience.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Ah, I...I couldn't.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20VOICES AND LAUGHTER
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- I'll keep that in mind.- Thank you.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27LAUGHTER
0:08:30 > 0:08:32What was that about?
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Politics. My personal life. Seems the two can't be separated.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40However, for the rest of the day, I just want to focus on my grandson.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Yes.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Nothing else matters...today.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52SHE SIGHS
0:09:08 > 0:09:10You're the nurse that brought George Bligh in.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Oh. Yes.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15I'll never forget your ingenuity. It was most impressive.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- Are you all right?- Ah, yes.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22My husband, Rene, Dr Nordmann,
0:09:22 > 0:09:25he's been in neurosurgery for hours now.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Ah, yes. I saw the name Nordmann on the surgery list. I did wonder.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Your husband is in very good hands.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- Patrick Kelly's one of the best neurosurgeons in the country.- Yes.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44It's...it's awful, isn't it?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47The helplessness.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49When someone you love is ill.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Seems somehow harder for us when we're so used to saving people.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54I'd do anything.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59I don't know your husband, Mrs Nordmann,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02but it seems to me he has everything to live for.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04It's half the battle, sometimes.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- You're not all right. - I just haven't eaten, that's all.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Yes, well, the cafeteria food is appalling,
0:10:12 > 0:10:16but it is possible to survive it if you know what to order.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- I'll have the nurses bring you something.- Please, you don't have to do that.- I insist.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37I've laid out your suit and I've ironed your shirt.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39For the christening.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42We can't go to Ash Park, so we'll have to head straight to the church.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44And what am I going to say to your family, huh?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Well, you don't have to say anything.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48So pretend everything's all right?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50No, but you...
0:10:50 > 0:10:52This was our dream, Anna.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55We have nothing.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59We...have my trust fund.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- That's your money.- It's OUR money, and we could invest it in the vineyard.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Maybe try again and hire some help.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12We could talk to Father about it at the christening.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14And say what - I can't provide for you?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16No, Gino, we're in this together.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- We should talk to him, and just ask...- No, no, no!
0:11:19 > 0:11:21I will not beg your family, OK, Anna?
0:11:21 > 0:11:22We're not going.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25I'm going to my nephew's christening, Gino.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26And how's that going to look, huh?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Like I'm alone.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- Aunt Reggie?- Bombs, strikes...
0:12:10 > 0:12:14The news is so very dull these days, don't you think?
0:12:15 > 0:12:17And what brings you here this morning?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21I was hoping you'd given some thought to our talk.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23I can't go back. Not now.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31If you need to save face, tell them I dragged you to the car
0:12:31 > 0:12:33and tied you to the roof.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39You won't give up, will you?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41And neither should you.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47BABY GURGLES
0:12:49 > 0:12:52One step at a time, my dear. That's how we'll get through it.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Here's the little princeling. Fed, changed, dressed.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Ready to go.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02Thank you, Rose.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Is the parcel you received the good news you'd hoped for?
0:13:05 > 0:13:10It was a christening present... that's all.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12BABY GURGLES
0:13:13 > 0:13:15For all the little ones who never got a blessing.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Has Anna arrived yet?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Not yet. Perhaps she's meeting us at the church.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Two Blighs missing.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26It's a wonder YOU'RE not off gallivanting somewhere.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- Is that what you think of me? - Oh, forgive me.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33I...I'm just used to thinking of christenings as being joyous occasions.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- We're all doing our best, Mother. - Shall we?
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Actually, I don't think I can...face it.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46- I can't do this. - We're all here, by your side.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48Hm?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Are you ready?
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- James!- Oh, at last.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16Not too late, I hope?
0:14:18 > 0:14:19Just in time.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- My sincere apologies, Father. - We'll talk later.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29I am so glad you're here.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31BABY GURGLES
0:14:34 > 0:14:35BABY GRIZZLES
0:14:35 > 0:14:37I missed you.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Thank you.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I assume you're going to change? We'll wait.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49I told you it would be all right.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Sanctify this water to the mystical washing away of sins
0:14:55 > 0:14:58and grant that this child to be baptised therein
0:14:58 > 0:15:03may receive the fullness of thy grace, and ever remain...
0:15:03 > 0:15:05VOICE FADES
0:15:26 > 0:15:29BABY CRIES
0:15:31 > 0:15:37I baptise thee in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
0:15:37 > 0:15:42and of the Holy Ghost, and I mark thee with a sign of the cross.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46BABY CRIES Amen.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49- ALL:- Amen.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03DOOR OPENS
0:16:25 > 0:16:28BACKGROUND CHATTER
0:16:36 > 0:16:39No champagne? Let me fix that immediately.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Oh, sweet James. I'm not certain I'm welcome here.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Well, it's my son's christening and I say that you are.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48To family.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50To you.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55Congratulations, Mrs Bligh, on a beautiful baby.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56Thank you.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Such a mix of his father and you.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00Yes.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03And are those long lashes from your side of the family?
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Er, they must be.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07THEY LAUGH
0:17:07 > 0:17:09If you'll excuse me.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Isn't it gracious of the Blighs to invite us to such a happy occasion?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18What do you reckon they call this?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21That's a devil on horseback.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23I don't know whether to eat it or ride it.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30I wanted to thank you, for bringing James home.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34He wanted to return. I only reminded him of that.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36I knew how important it was to you.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38I'm grateful.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Thank you.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52You don't have to tell me what you were doing in Sydney,
0:17:52 > 0:17:53if you don't want to.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00How long are you going to punish me?
0:18:01 > 0:18:03I thought you would find that a relief.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05A relief?
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- The longer I stayed away. - Not at all.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12I will still honour my duties at Ash Park.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14You don't have to worry about that.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Wasn't it lovely?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25- What?- The christening.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Oh, yes. I suppose it was.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Anna, to be late for the ceremony...
0:18:32 > 0:18:34And where's Gino?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36I'm sorry, grandmother,
0:18:36 > 0:18:38but the whole world doesn't revolve around the Blighs.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Oh, for goodness' sake.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44Oh!
0:18:55 > 0:18:57I hear the surgery went well. No complications.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01They tell me they won't know his mental state until Rene wakes up.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Unfortunately, we don't understand the brain nearly as well as we do the heart,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06surgically speaking.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- You should go home and get some rest.- My place is here.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32There's nothing like a new generation to emphasise
0:19:32 > 0:19:34how quickly time passes.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38Thankfully, Andrew is in no hurry to make me a grandmother.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Now, it must be such a relief to know that
0:19:41 > 0:19:46Ash Park's future is assured, and that the Jew is out of the picture.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Well, if only I can keep George out of Regina's clutches.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Is no-one good enough for your first-born?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56He simply doesn't see her for who she is.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59You must feel some sympathy for her.
0:19:59 > 0:20:05I mean, Charles was a brute and to have a husband die so violently...
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Your husband knew the Standishes quite well, didn't he?
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Yes, he worked with Charles in the diplomatic corps.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11Mm-hm.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15You know how I feel about gossip.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Oh, Prudence, I know. You're the soul of discretion.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Regina never had a shortage of suitors.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25When her husband fell ill,
0:20:25 > 0:20:28the rumours were plentiful.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30I didn't know Charles was ill.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Oh, yes. Gravely ill, the last few months.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36It was quite the mystery.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38The specialists didn't even know what to make of it.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Sarah.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Rene!
0:21:11 > 0:21:12I am here.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19It is me.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Everything is going to be all right.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32Yes.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Thank you, nurse. I appreciate the call.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59You think you should slow down?
0:22:02 > 0:22:03I only meant...
0:22:05 > 0:22:06..this isn't like you.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08SHE SIGHS
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Perhaps I'm not me.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11Carolyn, what's going on?
0:22:11 > 0:22:14A christening!
0:22:16 > 0:22:18- There's obviously something you're not telling me.- Please.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Don't. Just...don't.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Excuse me, Dr Duncan? There's a telephone call for you.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28- Sydney Hospital.- Thank you.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34LAUGHTER, SMASHING GLASS
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Oops, sorry!
0:22:36 > 0:22:38It's all right!
0:22:38 > 0:22:39No harm done!
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Carolyn, this is unseemly behaviour for a godmother.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Oh, I'm celebrating my nephew's christening.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49- You are drunk.- Quite.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57A word of warning...
0:22:57 > 0:23:01The last time you tried to meddle where you weren't wanted, you almost lost everything.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04What would George say if he knew you were back to your old ways?
0:23:06 > 0:23:10If I find something out about your past that I think George needs to know,
0:23:10 > 0:23:12I shall tell him.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Well, I wish you luck.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15There's nothing to find.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Excuse me, everyone...
0:23:22 > 0:23:26If I may have your attention, I'd like to propose a toast -
0:23:26 > 0:23:31to my grandson, George Lewis Bligh.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- ALL:- To George Lewis Bligh.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36APPLAUSE
0:23:39 > 0:23:40George - a word?
0:23:45 > 0:23:48It's too early to tell if it's a full recovery, but he's lucid,
0:23:48 > 0:23:50and his memory seems intact.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53Well, they must be relieved.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Everyone's found their rightful place.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Good news from Sydney, I gather?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Yes, Dr Nordmann's operation was a success.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34I know that must be bittersweet for you.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39If it were me, I might have trouble wishing my rival well.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40He's not my rival.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44I couldn't agree more. He doesn't hold a candle to you.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- I'm sorry, I overstepped. - Don't mention it.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50SHE SIGHS
0:24:52 > 0:24:56We both have things in our pasts, George.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Regrets. Missed opportunities.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03But you have the chance to change the lives of everyone in Inverness.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Yes.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Indeed.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Regina, I was hasty.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16It's clear you would never do anything to hurt James.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Your exile is over, if you'd like it to be.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22You want me to return to Ash Park?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24With my entry into politics,
0:25:24 > 0:25:29I must admit, I've found your guidance most helpful.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Nothing would make me happier.
0:25:41 > 0:25:46It's 120/80. Couldn't ask for better.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47A model patient.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52We'll go home soon.
0:25:53 > 0:25:54Home?
0:25:56 > 0:25:57Paris.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24What a big day it was, my little one.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26And he only cried for half of it.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Shall I put Master George down for his sleep?
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- He must be exhausted. - Thank you, Rose.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35Goodnight.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41It was a lovely day after all.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42It was.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45I was happy. Weren't you?
0:26:46 > 0:26:48I was wrong to blame you for what you did.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51You were going to do it eventually, I see that.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56It was a stupid mistake, and it will never happen again.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Of course it will.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00How could either of us continue, Livvie?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04We both want more than the other can give.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06What are you trying to say?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08We're a family.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11We have a son. Nothing will change that.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14But we must have our own lives too.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18I think it's best if from now on,
0:27:18 > 0:27:20we slept in separate bedrooms.
0:27:20 > 0:27:25And if I were to tell you that's not what I want?
0:27:28 > 0:27:30I'll be coming and going so often.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Between running Ash Park and trips to the city,
0:27:32 > 0:27:34I'll only disturb you.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36This way, you'll get your rest.

0:29:57 > 0:29:58An investment.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00In the winery.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04So you'll take money from him but not from me?
0:30:04 > 0:30:05Oh.

0:30:08 > 0:30:12Now we're in debt, and we don't have to be.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15This is my decision too.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19So how was it? Hmm? The christening?
0:30:22 > 0:30:23It was fine.
0:30:23 > 0:30:28Did you tell 'em I lost everything, hmm?
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Did you tell them your husband's a hopeless fool who gambled

0:30:54 > 0:30:57Ah...I must have got the dosage wrong.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01It's forgotten. No-one else will know.
0:31:02 > 0:31:03I trust you're settled?
0:31:03 > 0:31:07It's strange how quickly I've come to think of this place as home.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Your kindness has made what I have to say...
0:31:14 > 0:31:16..all the more difficult.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18I had hoped never to have to tell you this,
0:31:18 > 0:31:22but I honestly don't think I can stay silent any longer.
0:31:22 > 0:31:23What is it?
0:31:24 > 0:31:25Perhaps I can help.
0:31:32 > 0:31:33I lied to you, George.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37I lied to everyone.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44That day Rene Nordmann shot you, what I told the police,
0:31:44 > 0:31:46it wasn't the truth of what happened.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48What is the truth?
0:31:50 > 0:31:53I went riding to clear my head when I saw you.
0:31:53 > 0:31:54What are you doing?
0:31:54 > 0:31:55'He was pointing his gun at you.'
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Point that gun away.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59- Put the gun down!- No!
0:31:59 > 0:32:01- Please! Put...- No!
0:32:01 > 0:32:04I knew I had to stop him. I tried so hard to stop him.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07- No!- Think of Sarah! GUNSHOT
0:32:07 > 0:32:09He was intent.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12He wanted to kill you.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15He almost did kill you and the thought that he will never
0:32:15 > 0:32:18have to pay is almost too much for me to bear.
0:32:20 > 0:32:21Why did you lie?
0:32:22 > 0:32:24I'm not blind.
0:32:26 > 0:32:31I know how much Sarah means to you, how much you value her happiness.
0:32:31 > 0:32:36If I told the truth, Rene would still be in prison, or worse.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41I thought it was what you would want.
0:32:41 > 0:32:42Regina...
0:32:44 > 0:32:46..what you did -
0:32:46 > 0:32:47it shows such loyalty.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50- No.- Yes, of course. It...
0:32:50 > 0:32:52I didn't do it out of loyalty.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57I didn't do it to spare Sarah Nordmann pain.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Can't you see it, George?
0:33:02 > 0:33:03I did it because...
0:33:04 > 0:33:06..I would do anything for you.

0:33:48 > 0:33:49I can help.
0:34:12 > 0:34:13Visiting hours are over.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16I'd rather stay, if that's all right?
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- The patient needs his rest. - I understand, but...
0:34:19 > 0:34:22It's hospital policy, I'm afraid.
0:34:22 > 0:34:23I won't bother anyone.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26I need to check on Mr Nordmann's progress.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32I'll make us a cup of tea. I won't be long.

0:34:54 > 0:34:56And thank you for your discretion last night.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58- Please.- And your honesty.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02And now I would like to be honest with you.
0:35:03 > 0:35:08Your loyalty to this family is genuine. I know that.
0:35:08 > 0:35:09I know that your feelings towards me
0:35:09 > 0:35:12have guided your actions in the past.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15I also know that you'll stand by me no matter what.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19- It's all true... - Please, let me finish.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22This may not be the future you want.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26But I would like to propose...
0:35:27 > 0:35:28..a partnership.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33You know what it means to have a political life.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35You know what you'd be getting yourself into.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38What exactly are you suggesting, George?
0:35:38 > 0:35:40A marriage.
0:35:40 > 0:35:41Of sorts.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Sir Richard is right.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46I need to declare myself as a man with serious intentions -
0:35:46 > 0:35:47the sooner the better.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51So is this a proposal or a business deal?
0:35:51 > 0:35:52Both.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57And I believe we will both benefit greatly.
0:35:58 > 0:35:59We'll be partners.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04- Partners?- Politically.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06We can take on this challenge together,
0:36:06 > 0:36:07for the good of the country.
0:36:09 > 0:36:10You'll be my right hand.
0:36:12 > 0:36:17- That's all?- Sorry, I know it's not the most romantic of proposals.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21Regina, we've both been married before.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23And where did love get either of us?
0:36:26 > 0:36:32Well, George, you've taken me quite by surprise. I don't know.

0:39:52 > 0:39:54And?
0:39:54 > 0:39:57You need someone by your side when you launch your campaign.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01The female voters will want to see that you're...stable,
0:40:01 > 0:40:03committed, married.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07I want to stand beside you as your wife.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10That's wonderful news, Regina. SHE LAUGHS
0:40:10 > 0:40:12- Thank you. - I don't need a big wedding.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15Let's do it quickly so we can focus on your campaign.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19Together, we can give the new candidate a run for his money.

0:40:49 > 0:40:53- Thank you, son. - Yes, that's wonderful.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55It won't be anything grand.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Just a civil ceremony for the family. And the press, of course.

0:41:31 > 0:41:32Sir Richard wants you to.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34And he's right.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37If we wait until later, it will appear contrived.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39We've received a special dispensation.
0:41:39 > 0:41:40We are to be wed tomorrow.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Well, then, Carolyn is right. You HAVE lost your mind!
0:41:42 > 0:41:45If that's how you see it, that's your choice.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47George, can't you see you are being manipulated!
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Give me some credit. I'm not an imbecile.

0:42:12 > 0:42:14You're young and happily married.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16I hope you never have to understand what it means to...
0:42:17 > 0:42:19To be practical.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23It'll be a small wedding. No pomp and ceremony.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27If you'd like to be there, you'd be most welcome.
0:42:32 > 0:42:33Goodnight, both of you.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46We'll find a way, won't we?
0:42:48 > 0:42:50ENGINE STARTS
0:42:50 > 0:42:51We will.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57CAR DRIVES AWAY
0:43:06 > 0:43:08I should never have let you go through with it.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10KNOCK ON DOOR
0:43:12 > 0:43:14It's time, I'm sorry.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18- Time?- To take him downstairs.
0:43:18 > 0:43:19What for?
0:43:19 > 0:43:24- For the autopsy, so the surgeon can determine...- No.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26- It needs to be done.- I don't care.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29- I understand you're upset. - You're not taking him.
0:43:38 > 0:43:39I'm so very sorry.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43If there's anything that I can do...
0:43:45 > 0:43:48I lost him once before, and I grieved for him.
0:43:52 > 0:43:54I don't know how to do it a second time.
0:43:57 > 0:43:58I can't even imagine.
0:44:00 > 0:44:02No autopsy.
0:44:02 > 0:44:06We're Jewish. He needs to be buried as soon as possible.
0:44:06 > 0:44:07I'll let them know.
0:44:11 > 0:44:13How will I find you now?
0:44:27 > 0:44:29DOOR OPENS
0:44:30 > 0:44:32He isn't going through with it, is he?
0:44:33 > 0:44:35It seems that he is.
0:44:36 > 0:44:38What are you going to do?
0:44:39 > 0:44:41I don't know.
0:44:43 > 0:44:45SHE SIGHS
0:44:45 > 0:44:48Seems we're not as in control of life as we'd like to think,
0:44:48 > 0:44:50- are we, Mother?- No.
0:44:53 > 0:44:56But it's how we respond to life's surprises that counts.
0:44:59 > 0:45:02I do hope that eventually you'll tell me what's bothering you.
0:45:04 > 0:45:05One day, perhaps.
0:45:08 > 0:45:11Darling, whatever it is...
0:45:11 > 0:45:12have courage.
0:45:14 > 0:45:17You've always been such a brave woman.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19More than I can say for myself.
0:45:19 > 0:45:20I'm not so brave.
0:45:21 > 0:45:22Of course you are.
0:45:24 > 0:45:26More than you know.
0:45:26 > 0:45:28ELIZABETH EXHALES
0:45:38 > 0:45:40SHE SIGHS
0:45:42 > 0:45:44SHE EXHALES
0:46:00 > 0:46:01I know he's in. I have to see him.
0:46:02 > 0:46:04One moment, please.
0:46:05 > 0:46:08- Sir Richard, Miss Bligh's here to see you...- Show her in.
0:46:08 > 0:46:10You're welcome to go in.
0:46:12 > 0:46:13Good to see you. Sit down.
0:46:13 > 0:46:17Now, did you bring the proposal? I think it's a bloody good idea.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19I don't care about my proposal.
0:46:19 > 0:46:23- Then what am I paying you for? - You're not. I resign.
0:46:23 > 0:46:24Don't be such a dill.
0:46:26 > 0:46:29You won't get away with what you did to me.
0:46:29 > 0:46:32And what exactly is it you think I did?
0:46:32 > 0:46:35I imagine the police will call it rape.
0:46:35 > 0:46:37Don't be such a bloody child!
0:46:37 > 0:46:38Excuse me?!
0:46:38 > 0:46:42You invite me into your apartment, drunk, wanton.
0:46:42 > 0:46:44If you've changed your mind, it's not my problem.
0:46:44 > 0:46:47That is NOT what happened and you know it.
0:46:47 > 0:46:49Well, you're hardly the Virgin Mary.
0:46:49 > 0:46:51I didn't do anything you haven't done before.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55I will go to the police.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57The press, too, if I have to.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02Who will believe you?
0:47:02 > 0:47:06Who will take your word against mine?
0:47:07 > 0:47:11They'll call you a tramp,
0:47:11 > 0:47:14drag your name through the mud
0:47:14 > 0:47:18and ruin your brother's career into the bargain.
0:47:18 > 0:47:19Hmm?
0:47:24 > 0:47:27Why don't you go back to Inverness?
0:47:27 > 0:47:29Back to your country doctor.
0:47:29 > 0:47:30You're not going to make it here.

0:48:36 > 0:48:38Good afternoon, Dr Duncan.
0:48:40 > 0:48:43I think he's just leaving. I'll go and fetch him.
0:48:50 > 0:48:53Mr Bligh! A telephone call for you, from Dr Duncan.
0:48:53 > 0:48:56I'm afraid we really don't have time.
0:48:56 > 0:48:59Er, yes. Tell him I'll call him back when I return, after the wedding.
0:48:59 > 0:49:00Yes, sir.
0:49:01 > 0:49:05Drive quickly. I cannot wait to become the next Mrs Bligh.
0:49:05 > 0:49:06Mwah!
0:49:54 > 0:49:56'I call upon the persons here present'
