0:00:03 > 0:00:06- Someone wants your book? - They want me to go down to Sydney

0:00:06 > 0:00:07to meet with them.

0:00:07 > 0:00:08Give me a kiss.

0:00:08 > 0:00:11- I said no!- No-one says no to me.

0:00:11 > 0:00:13SHE SOBS

0:00:14 > 0:00:16He won't get away with this.

0:00:16 > 0:00:20They'll call you a tramp and ruin your brother's career.

0:00:20 > 0:00:22Is Georgie mine?

0:00:22 > 0:00:25Of course Georgie is yours. He's our little boy!

0:00:25 > 0:00:28Our baby didn't live.

0:00:28 > 0:00:30I couldn't tell him.

0:00:33 > 0:00:36Livvy, wait. Wait, let me explain.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38Explain what?

0:00:38 > 0:00:41- What is this? - I got a little carried away.

0:00:45 > 0:00:48We're going on an adventure, aren't we?

0:00:48 > 0:00:50Where's my son?

0:00:50 > 0:00:53- ELIZABETH:- A marriage of convenience is easy to say -

0:00:53 > 0:00:55it's not always easy to live.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58I hope you're very certain that she doesn't expect you to love her.

0:00:58 > 0:01:02Oh, Rene. Mon amour, je suis la.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06- Why are you here? - To pay my respects.

0:01:06 > 0:01:07Liar!

0:01:07 > 0:01:10The fact is, to have a successful political career,

0:01:10 > 0:01:12I need someone by my side.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15Whatever was between us, George, you're a married man...

0:01:15 > 0:01:17- Nothing else matters. - ..and I'm equally unavailable.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20We will be together soon, I promise you.

0:01:20 > 0:01:21Oh!

0:01:22 > 0:01:23Oh!

0:01:25 > 0:01:28- GEORGE:- 'To Sarah Nordmann,

0:01:28 > 0:01:31'I give devise and bequeath finances held in trust

0:01:31 > 0:01:33'on behalf of our unborn child.'

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Don't go blaming yourself.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52It was my tonic she used, Doctor.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55But you weren't to know.

0:02:55 > 0:02:56Mixing it with...

0:02:58 > 0:03:00A prayer for her immortal soul.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15HE BLOWS WHISTLE

0:03:15 > 0:03:18TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS

0:03:25 > 0:03:28Rest in peace, lass.

0:03:28 > 0:03:29Amen.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Amen.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36Oh, Mrs Nordmann, a terrible tragedy!

0:03:44 > 0:03:49Poor kiddies, losing their beloved teacher like that.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53And her family waiting for the coffin!

0:03:53 > 0:03:56For one so young to take a life and then to use...

0:03:56 > 0:03:59If it hadn't been your mixture, she would've used something else.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03Some of my customers have cancelled their deliveries.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05There is nothing dodgy about your stuff.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08- It's all been given the all-clear, all right?- Mm.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42Are you sure you'll cope without me?

0:04:42 > 0:04:44It's just till Monday.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Good luck.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Bloody awful way to go.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03Hard to get out of your mind.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10She's in here! Quickly!

0:05:42 > 0:05:44SHE RINGS BELL

0:05:50 > 0:05:51Anna!

0:05:56 > 0:06:02- Still working on your little book. What fun.- How can we help you?

0:06:02 > 0:06:06There are things that need saying best said in your father's absence.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09- Shall we say cocktail hour? - Oh, Regina, we'd really...

0:06:09 > 0:06:11No, I insist.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14No need to dress.

0:06:17 > 0:06:21- Did I hear a "yes"? - Well, she obviously did.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24You know, she's right.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27There are things that need to be said.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44I'll pick you up round three, I suppose?

0:06:44 > 0:06:46I'll walk home. Thanks, Roy.

0:06:53 > 0:06:58- Milly got away?- Yes. - You're a Godsend.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00Looking after the lot of them is a chore.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04- How are you holding up? - I'm managing not to cry, just.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08If only I'd done more to help her.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11And the children?

0:07:11 > 0:07:15- Um, they do say kids are resilient. - Yes.

0:07:15 > 0:07:19There's only one I'm worried about, Emma Carvolth.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22She's normally a bright little thing.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Perhaps a nurse...

0:07:24 > 0:07:26I'll see what I can do.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28And if you need any help?

0:07:28 > 0:07:31I knew Milly was miserable.

0:07:31 > 0:07:35She and Gordon, her fiance, had some sort of...

0:07:35 > 0:07:37But...

0:07:37 > 0:07:39I should've seen.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45- It's class time. - Yes. Into the fray.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Don't let them get under your skin.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51Come on. Let's go! Quickly!

0:07:54 > 0:07:55Hello.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00You're Emma, am I right?

0:08:03 > 0:08:07I'm Mrs Nordmann. I'm helping until the new teacher comes on Monday.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12CHILDREN LAUGH

0:08:14 > 0:08:17I wonder if you might tell me where my classroom is?

0:08:19 > 0:08:20Please?

0:08:27 > 0:08:30So, how are you?

0:08:36 > 0:08:38- ELIZABETH:- Now, be sure to send a wreath.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40It's important that the girl's family know

0:08:40 > 0:08:45- that others aren't being judgmental. - It's done.- Oh, thank you.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48Are the police sure it's suicide?

0:08:48 > 0:08:51There's some sort of rift with her fiance, apparently.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53He's with the air force in Malaya.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55How did she do it?

0:08:57 > 0:09:00Rat poison with a tonic. Her fellow teacher found her.

0:09:00 > 0:09:01That's dreadful.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07Puts our troubles into perspective.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09Limited comfort, under the circumstances.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14Those came from Olivia with this card.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20"Don't judge me too harshly."

0:09:22 > 0:09:26- Have she and James spoken? - They're meeting this morning...

0:09:26 > 0:09:28- Finally.- I'm meeting him afterwards.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31- Carolyn, her.- Don't waiver.

0:09:41 > 0:09:46How can something society condemns feel so perfect?

0:09:46 > 0:09:50Because society lives grey little lives

0:09:50 > 0:09:51devoid of any colour.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53SHE LAUGHS

0:09:53 > 0:09:56That is such an artist's reply!

0:09:56 > 0:09:58That's the reply of a man in love.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09I should dress.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16GEORGIE CRIES Shush, shush. It's all right.

0:10:16 > 0:10:17There we go.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21All right. All right.

0:10:21 > 0:10:22Oh, wish me luck.

0:10:22 > 0:10:26Remember, you, me, Georgie, London.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28A whole new life.

0:10:28 > 0:10:29Remember this.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34- Lloyd!- Well, who cares what anyone thinks?

0:10:40 > 0:10:46Sometimes, when things upset us, it's good to write things down...

0:10:46 > 0:10:50so I would like to spend the rest of today writing down how you feel

0:10:50 > 0:10:53about what happened to Ms Davis.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55- Ow! - LAUGHTER

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Now you don't have to read it out or show anyone.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01It's just for you and me.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06And not even me, if you'd prefer.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08So you have half an hour.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11THEY ALL CHATTER

0:11:11 > 0:11:13Quietly! Quietly!

0:11:14 > 0:11:18Ow! Stop it, Larry!

0:11:18 > 0:11:20I think you need to stay behind.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23- Stay behind what, Miss? - LAUGHTER

0:11:36 > 0:11:38I'll... I'll wait here.

0:11:40 > 0:11:41I'd kiss you if I could.

0:11:46 > 0:11:47Good luck.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32No hope?

0:12:41 > 0:12:42No.

0:13:35 > 0:13:39I still like you, Miss, even if you're keeping me in.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42Two more minutes.

0:13:47 > 0:13:52- REGINA:- I accept that you've cast me in the role of wicked stepmother,

0:13:52 > 0:13:55but your father and I married for his political career.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58I'm asking that you respect our union for the same reason.

0:13:58 > 0:14:02- You can't blame me for how I feel. - Need we talk about blame?

0:14:04 > 0:14:08Please, a ceasefire, for your father's sake.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10Not your own?

0:14:10 > 0:14:11Me, no.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14I simply wish to spare him the burden of a spoilt brat

0:14:14 > 0:14:17doing what she's always done - assuming everything is about her.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Hey, hey... - As I said, a frank discussion.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25I will not toady for your approval, Anna.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28- It will come in time or it will not.- It will not.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30Regardless, I am asking for a truce.

0:14:30 > 0:14:31And if I don't give it?

0:14:34 > 0:14:39Please, don't make me go to your father.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41How do you think he'll see your refusal?

0:14:42 > 0:14:47I imagine he'll see it as the actions of a petulant child.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50- Let's go, Anna.- You could have said all that without dragging us here.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53Some things are best said on one's home ground

0:14:53 > 0:14:56and this is now my home ground.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58Let yourselves out.

0:15:00 > 0:15:04And my little novel is going to be published.

0:15:04 > 0:15:05Thank you for asking.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10- Why now?- What do you mean?

0:15:10 > 0:15:12Well, she's known my attitude for quite some time,

0:15:12 > 0:15:13so why this now?

0:15:13 > 0:15:16Something's got her building her defences.

0:15:18 > 0:15:19Let's go.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41- Thank you for coming.- Father.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43- A brandy?- Please.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53How's Grandmother?

0:15:53 > 0:15:55Hoping to see you.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57I thought a visit, under the circumstances,

0:15:57 > 0:15:59- might do more harm than good. - I understand.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04Your grandmother and I have no intention

0:16:04 > 0:16:06of judging either of you.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08However, we would like to comment.

0:16:10 > 0:16:11Of course.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14You seem to have given up rather easily.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17I gather the fault lies with Olivia?

0:16:17 > 0:16:19I bear a good portion of the blame.

0:16:20 > 0:16:24But you've put that part of yourself aside.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28Thank you.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35I left her vulnerable to other things.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Surely there's hope for reconciling?

0:16:37 > 0:16:39No.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46And what was said of Georgie?

0:16:49 > 0:16:53We'll discuss details when our feelings are less raw.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56You didn't even canvass him?

0:16:56 > 0:16:59- In due course. - You baffle me sometimes.

0:16:59 > 0:17:03I assume Olivia accepts she's not keeping him?

0:17:03 > 0:17:04She loves him.

0:17:04 > 0:17:08I will not see my grandson raised by some painter

0:17:08 > 0:17:11and carried off to London when that inevitably fails.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15The courts would never award her custody, anyway.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18- We needn't start thinking about that.- We will, if necessary.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21I am happy to see them together,

0:17:21 > 0:17:22if she remains here.

0:17:26 > 0:17:30You be as cavalier as you wish with your marriage,

0:17:30 > 0:17:31but not with Georgie.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36- He's my son.- He is my grandson.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39He is a Bligh. He will be raised by us.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41Grow a backbone, man!

0:17:46 > 0:17:50- CAROLYN:- It's not a message I enjoy delivering,

0:17:50 > 0:17:53but at least it avoids any impossible unpleasantness

0:17:53 > 0:17:54between you and George.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59Has James summoned the nerve

0:17:59 > 0:18:02to tell you he's exploring his own desires?

0:18:04 > 0:18:07So, where is Georgie better placed -

0:18:07 > 0:18:11with me or peering out of the crib at James and Henry Fox?

0:18:13 > 0:18:15Is that the truth?

0:18:15 > 0:18:19I left when I found them together.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23It's why he's capitulated so easily.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Oh.

0:18:25 > 0:18:29Well, don't tell George, please, if James doesn't.

0:18:29 > 0:18:34In other words, bear all the shame and part with my son.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37That is truly a Bligh solution.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39The family takes the shame.

0:18:39 > 0:18:43James will be snapped and arranged adulterous tryst.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45The divorce will be granted on those grounds

0:18:45 > 0:18:48and you will receive a generous settlement.

0:18:49 > 0:18:52You will be free to move on to any life you choose.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56Without my baby.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02I'm afraid so.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10What if I fought for him?

0:19:10 > 0:19:13Then you would be named as adulterous.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18The courts will favour the family.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20I'm sorry.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28- If you only knew.- Knew what?

0:19:28 > 0:19:32I'll go before I say things I regret.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57- ELIZABETH:- Hello?

0:20:04 > 0:20:08What's my prognosis, in your opinion?

0:20:10 > 0:20:13I'm not your attending physician.

0:20:13 > 0:20:17But you are perusing my chart and showing a good deal more interest

0:20:17 > 0:20:19than might be considered usual.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23So, your prognosis?

0:20:25 > 0:20:30A second attack of this nature doesn't augur well for longevity.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32- SHE CHUCKLES - Thank you.

0:20:32 > 0:20:36You have a nice way with the euphemism.

0:20:36 > 0:20:39I assume that you're reporting back to James.

0:20:40 > 0:20:44My body may be frail, but my perception's are not.

0:20:44 > 0:20:49I also assume that the attraction is mutual.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54It is.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57Is that why Olivia left?

0:20:57 > 0:21:00Partly.

0:21:00 > 0:21:01I see.

0:21:02 > 0:21:06It was never my intention to cause harm.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08Sit down, Mr Fox.

0:21:12 > 0:21:16Should the seemingly inevitable transpire,

0:21:16 > 0:21:18James will need a friend.

0:21:19 > 0:21:22I forced him to marry once,

0:21:22 > 0:21:24I shan't do it again.

0:21:27 > 0:21:32I count on you to teach him what I imagine you already know.

0:21:34 > 0:21:39How to be as you are whilst avoiding scandal.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44I think that's the best we can hope for now, isn't it?

0:21:50 > 0:21:52Gawping does not become you, Doctor.

0:21:56 > 0:22:00REGINA: I appreciate your keen observations, Mrs Collins.

0:22:00 > 0:22:01As wife of the member to be,

0:22:01 > 0:22:04there's only so much I can keep up with.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07Anything you could glean on this new police sergeant, for instance.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09I hear he's rather charming

0:22:09 > 0:22:11and I do hope people aren't gossiping too much

0:22:11 > 0:22:15over this poor girl's suicide.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18- DORIS:- How lovely.

0:22:18 > 0:22:23A lady such as yourself offering to help me with my little task.

0:22:23 > 0:22:24Oh, I'm glad to.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26SHE CHUCKLES

0:22:29 > 0:22:31I must go, I'm afraid.

0:22:32 > 0:22:33Good night.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22I worked out what's been niggling at me.

0:23:22 > 0:23:24What's that?

0:23:24 > 0:23:27Well, all the children have written how much she loved them.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33Milly was found in the classroom.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36She would never have let them find her like that.

0:23:36 > 0:23:39She did, but.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41If she killed herself.

0:23:43 > 0:23:44What if she didn't?

0:23:57 > 0:24:00I know what you're saying.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02There's only one problem, though -

0:24:02 > 0:24:04she hadn't an enemy in the world.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08- Are you sure? - No-one would want to hurt her.

0:24:08 > 0:24:13No. She was...heartsore.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15I should've seen how bad.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19- Sorry. I didn't mean... - It's best left there. I...

0:24:22 > 0:24:23All right. Come on.

0:24:25 > 0:24:26Come on.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41What time is it?

0:24:41 > 0:24:45You countrymen are always up with the larks.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47One of the benefits of being in town.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51How was your night shift?

0:24:51 > 0:24:53Interesting.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00Order us breakfast. I'm going to shower.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11HE RINGS DOORBELL

0:25:11 > 0:25:14Coming. WATER RUNNING

0:25:15 > 0:25:17Good morning, sir.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19Put it over there.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34Breakfast for two, sir. I hope you enjoy it.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43Presumptuous pup.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45I'm sure he imagined some high-class floozy

0:25:45 > 0:25:47who serviced you mercilessly.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49It's not his place to imagine anything.

0:25:51 > 0:25:52I'm sure he's seen it all.

0:25:54 > 0:25:55Well, perhaps not all.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01I have a good mind to report his smirk to the management.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03Lesson number one -

0:26:03 > 0:26:06when you've something to hide, don't initiate a fuss.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09Quickest way to have questions asked about your doings

0:26:09 > 0:26:11is to draw attention to them.

0:26:13 > 0:26:14You make it sound like school.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18With your grandmother's blessing.

0:26:19 > 0:26:21As I said, interesting night.

0:26:23 > 0:26:27- I'm looking for Mrs Bligh's room. - Yeah, just at the end on the left.

0:26:27 > 0:26:28Thank you.

0:26:35 > 0:26:38HE KNOCKS AT DOOR

0:26:39 > 0:26:42- SHE EXHALES SHARPLY - At last.

0:26:46 > 0:26:49- Oh, thank you.- Um...

0:26:49 > 0:26:51Oh, they're beautiful.

0:26:54 > 0:26:57How are you feeling?

0:26:57 > 0:26:58Better by the day.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07Did Henry report our conversation?

0:27:12 > 0:27:14What made you see it?

0:27:16 > 0:27:18The increase in time spent away.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23The look in your eyes when he's mentioned.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28Echoes of things I experienced with your grandfather.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35It doesn't disgust you?

0:27:37 > 0:27:42I'll never truly understand it and I worry for you...

0:27:44 > 0:27:47..but I know you won't be happy with another sham marriage

0:27:47 > 0:27:49or with celibacy.

0:27:52 > 0:27:55Does my frankness shock you?

0:27:59 > 0:28:01Yes, it does.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13I love you, Grandmother.

0:28:17 > 0:28:19It's a changing world, my darling.

0:28:20 > 0:28:24Let's see how many changes I can accommodate.

0:28:24 > 0:28:26HE CHUCKLES

0:28:28 > 0:28:31- Perhaps suggest that to Father.- Oh!

0:28:31 > 0:28:33THEY LAUGH

0:28:33 > 0:28:36- Bye!- Publish or perish!- Mwah! - TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS

0:28:36 > 0:28:38SHE LAUGHS

0:28:41 > 0:28:44How do you feel about it - the book?

0:28:44 > 0:28:46Oh, I'm trying to get used to it, you know?

0:28:46 > 0:28:48She's changed it a bit.

0:28:48 > 0:28:51- Well, you're a good man. - Well, sometimes.

0:28:51 > 0:28:53SHE SIGHS Have I missed the train?

0:28:53 > 0:28:55Oh, it must've been early.

0:28:55 > 0:28:57Parcel for my husband.

0:28:57 > 0:28:59Wretched rail.

0:29:01 > 0:29:03It's good to see you, Jack.

0:29:04 > 0:29:06Regina! Excuse me. Regina!

0:29:09 > 0:29:12- Could I have a word with you, please?- Don't tell me.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14An opportunity for spousal gallantry.

0:29:14 > 0:29:16I'll say it for you.

0:29:16 > 0:29:20Do anything to upset Anna and you'll have me to deal with.

0:29:20 > 0:29:21And you will, too.

0:29:21 > 0:29:24Anna is more than capable of looking after herself.

0:29:25 > 0:29:27You forget I was the dirt-poor Italian

0:29:27 > 0:29:29who took on Mrs Bligh and won.

0:29:29 > 0:29:32- Your point?- I can beat you, too.

0:29:34 > 0:29:36It's a shame we're at odds.

0:29:36 > 0:29:41We've both fought for love and...we're both ready to defend it.

0:29:41 > 0:29:44We'd make better friends than enemies, Gino.

0:29:46 > 0:29:48We've got plenty of cows on the farm.

0:29:48 > 0:29:50We don't need any more.

0:29:50 > 0:29:52Signorina.

0:29:58 > 0:30:00Rose!

0:30:01 > 0:30:02Rose!

0:30:06 > 0:30:08I bought a new lipstick the other day.

0:30:08 > 0:30:11I think it might suit you far more than it suits me.

0:30:13 > 0:30:14Come here.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43Lovely.

0:30:43 > 0:30:45See how pretty you are?

0:30:47 > 0:30:50Take it, I insist.

0:30:50 > 0:30:52Thank you, Mrs Bligh.

0:30:54 > 0:30:58There's just one little thing I need you to do for me.

0:31:00 > 0:31:01CAROLYN: Coming!

0:31:08 > 0:31:10SHE GASPS Get out!

0:31:12 > 0:31:15- Leave! Now!- Oh, calm down.

0:31:15 > 0:31:20Listen, I hear rumblings about your nephew's marriage.

0:31:20 > 0:31:22I just want the good oil before I tackle George.

0:31:22 > 0:31:24That is none of your affair!

0:31:24 > 0:31:25Relax.

0:31:25 > 0:31:28If your dubious virtue was in any danger,

0:31:28 > 0:31:32you'd be on your back already, moaning for more. I...

0:31:33 > 0:31:36..just want confirmation, that's all.

0:31:38 > 0:31:41James and Olivia have separated.

0:31:41 > 0:31:43It is the family's business.

0:31:43 > 0:31:44There'll be no separation.

0:31:44 > 0:31:46You can't stop it.

0:31:46 > 0:31:48I can do what I want...

0:31:48 > 0:31:50You know that.

0:32:13 > 0:32:15Mr Poletti.

0:32:15 > 0:32:17Rose.

0:32:17 > 0:32:19I brought something for you.

0:32:21 > 0:32:24It's dinner. I heard Mrs Poletti's away.

0:32:24 > 0:32:26Thank you.

0:32:26 > 0:32:30- Mrs Bligh didn't... - Mrs Bligh doesn't know.

0:32:30 > 0:32:31Don't get yourself into trouble.

0:32:33 > 0:32:38You were kind to me...that night with the baby in the barn.

0:32:40 > 0:32:41It's a thank you.

0:32:41 > 0:32:43It's fine.

0:32:43 > 0:32:46There's one other thing.

0:32:46 > 0:32:49I was wondering maybe, on my days off...

0:32:50 > 0:32:54..could you teach me Italian? I could pay you.

0:32:54 > 0:32:56I want to go there one day - Rome.

0:32:56 > 0:32:59- Really? Roma? - You can dream, can't you?

0:33:01 > 0:33:04- OK.- Thank you!

0:33:04 > 0:33:09- And, uh, no charge.- Oh, but I can... - No, no, no, no. That's the deal.

0:33:09 > 0:33:11Maybe I could find you a good Italian husband in the bargain.

0:33:11 > 0:33:13- Maybe you can! - SHE CHUCKLES

0:33:13 > 0:33:16I don't care how you manage it, but until the election

0:33:16 > 0:33:19and for a good few months after, happy families.

0:33:19 > 0:33:20They're not my choices to...

0:33:21 > 0:33:23..to make.

0:33:23 > 0:33:27I don't want a messy Bligh divorce all over the newspapers

0:33:27 > 0:33:28as you're coming into the home stretch.

0:33:28 > 0:33:32- Fix it. - I would prefer a change of tone.

0:33:32 > 0:33:33Don't be so bloody sensitive.

0:33:36 > 0:33:39- It's good practise for parliament. - HE CHUCKLES

0:33:57 > 0:34:01You're not going out to play? EMMA SNIFFLES

0:34:03 > 0:34:05What is it? EMMA SOBS

0:34:10 > 0:34:14You didn't write anything yesterday about Ms Davis.

0:34:16 > 0:34:18We can talk about it, if you like.

0:34:20 > 0:34:23It's all right. It's all right. It's going to be all right.

0:34:23 > 0:34:25It's not, Miss! It's not!

0:34:25 > 0:34:27I killed her!

0:34:27 > 0:34:30SHE BREATHES HEAVILY, WHEEZES

0:34:32 > 0:34:35It's all right, Emma. Just breathe deeply.

0:34:52 > 0:34:54I've given her something for the asthma.

0:34:54 > 0:34:57Well, even if it just helps her sleep -

0:34:57 > 0:34:58she hasn't been.

0:34:58 > 0:35:01Have you any idea why she might feel responsible?

0:35:03 > 0:35:07She came home cross the day they found Ms Davis.

0:35:07 > 0:35:08She'd been kept in

0:35:08 > 0:35:12and it meant she couldn't go to a birthday party.

0:35:12 > 0:35:13Other than that...

0:35:15 > 0:35:18When she heard, she went pale as a ghost.

0:35:20 > 0:35:22I just thought she was sad.

0:35:23 > 0:35:26- You can go in. - Oh. Thank you, Doctor.

0:35:35 > 0:35:37I should get back.

0:35:38 > 0:35:42Um... Are you going to call the police?

0:35:43 > 0:35:45Not yet.

0:35:45 > 0:35:47The new sergeant's pretty gung-ho. Better she doesn't wake up to that.

0:35:55 > 0:35:58KNOCK AT DOOR

0:35:58 > 0:36:01- ANNA:- Hello? It's me!

0:36:01 > 0:36:03Oh, my darling!

0:36:11 > 0:36:14Oh! Opening night of the Ice Capades.

0:36:14 > 0:36:16Those skaters know how to put it away.

0:36:16 > 0:36:18I'll just drop this and run, otherwise I'll be late.

0:36:18 > 0:36:20Wish me luck.

0:36:20 > 0:36:22I'm sure they love what you've written

0:36:22 > 0:36:24- or they wouldn't be seeing you. - I hope.

0:36:24 > 0:36:26- Go!- Yes.- We'll talk later. - Fingers crossed.

0:36:35 > 0:36:37Oh, God!

0:36:40 > 0:36:42TELEPHONE RINGS

0:36:45 > 0:36:47Dr Duncan.

0:36:47 > 0:36:49OVER PHONE: 'It's me. Uh, Anna's arrived.

0:36:49 > 0:36:51'I was wondering...'

0:36:51 > 0:36:54I know I should be here for her and Mother, but...

0:36:54 > 0:36:56I'm missing you.

0:36:56 > 0:36:59What do you think about my coming down?

0:36:59 > 0:37:01Mother will understand, don't you think? Should I?

0:37:01 > 0:37:04Are you all right?

0:37:04 > 0:37:05Of course.

0:37:05 > 0:37:08I'm just nervous about letting Mother down.

0:37:10 > 0:37:13Excuse me, Doctor. Emma's awake. I think you should come.

0:37:13 > 0:37:14OK.

0:37:16 > 0:37:18Uh...

0:37:18 > 0:37:20look, get here as soon as you can.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23I love you.

0:37:25 > 0:37:27DIAL TONE

0:37:29 > 0:37:33Evidently, Doctor, the poor little thing got it all wrong.

0:37:33 > 0:37:35Thank you.

0:37:38 > 0:37:41- WHISPERING:- We're going to find out what it is.

0:37:41 > 0:37:45She thinks cos she said "I hope you die" to Ms Davis

0:37:45 > 0:37:48that she wished it on her and made it happen.

0:37:48 > 0:37:51You silly duffer. Oh, sweetie.

0:37:51 > 0:37:52You mind if I...?

0:37:56 > 0:37:58Emma...

0:37:59 > 0:38:03..no-one's...no-one's thoughts can make somebody die.

0:38:03 > 0:38:05In books, maybe. Not in the real world.

0:38:07 > 0:38:09I'm a doctor, I know.

0:38:09 > 0:38:13They said she was unhappy. She wasn't, but.

0:38:13 > 0:38:16- Ms Davis?- She was real happy.

0:38:16 > 0:38:18She died because I wished it upon her.

0:38:18 > 0:38:21- HE SIGHS - How do you know she was happy?

0:38:21 > 0:38:24- The letter.- What letter?

0:38:24 > 0:38:27The one that she opened when she was keeping me in.

0:38:43 > 0:38:46Kids. Here you go. That's a boy.

0:39:00 > 0:39:03- What did Emma say? - It's very strange.

0:39:03 > 0:39:06She reckons Milly Davis opened a letter that...

0:39:07 > 0:39:11Sergeant, this is Mrs Nordmann.

0:39:11 > 0:39:15Nordmann? Yes. I've heard about you.

0:39:15 > 0:39:18We have a search to do. Would you mind stepping outside, please?

0:39:18 > 0:39:21Sergeant, all Milly's things I sent to the family.

0:39:21 > 0:39:23Actually, I found a letter.

0:39:23 > 0:39:25It was slipped inside the detention book,

0:39:25 > 0:39:28addressed to Milly. It's...

0:39:33 > 0:39:35Oh! The...

0:39:35 > 0:39:38The engagement was back on.

0:39:38 > 0:39:40Perhaps you're right.

0:39:40 > 0:39:42She said someone probably did it.

0:39:42 > 0:39:43Did you, now?

0:39:43 > 0:39:46Well, I just couldn't see Milly risking the children

0:39:46 > 0:39:47finding her like that.

0:39:47 > 0:39:50It makes sense if you think about it.

0:39:50 > 0:39:52You're a real Miss Marple, aren't you?

0:39:52 > 0:39:54I'm just trying to help.

0:39:54 > 0:39:56Yeah.

0:39:59 > 0:40:01Miss Griggs.

0:40:01 > 0:40:03It seems you have an issue with me, Sergeant.

0:40:08 > 0:40:11Your husband shot George Bligh, right?

0:40:11 > 0:40:14- I don't see what that... - It's all right, Jack.

0:40:14 > 0:40:17That was proven to be an accident.

0:40:17 > 0:40:20And this was a suicide...until it wasn't.

0:40:20 > 0:40:23I hear you're a Communist, too.

0:40:23 > 0:40:26I've got a few issues with you, actually,

0:40:26 > 0:40:27but they'll keep.

0:40:29 > 0:40:30Constable.

0:40:39 > 0:40:43- So, Miss Bligh... - Oh, please, call me Anna.

0:40:43 > 0:40:47Well...I'm Mr Cowan.

0:40:47 > 0:40:50As your editor,

0:40:50 > 0:40:54I shall be wanting to maintain a professional distance.

0:40:54 > 0:40:56Are you saying that...?

0:40:56 > 0:40:58I have no doubt we'll be publishing you.

0:40:58 > 0:41:01You're a very talented young woman.

0:41:01 > 0:41:03Thank you. I just...

0:41:03 > 0:41:06I'm so glad that you like my story.

0:41:06 > 0:41:12Ah. Well, yes. Your story - that's another matter.

0:41:12 > 0:41:14Oh, I'm sorry. I don't understand.

0:41:14 > 0:41:18Your manuscript proves you can write.

0:41:18 > 0:41:20Your subject matter, however...

0:41:21 > 0:41:26Readers aren't interested in the dago experience.

0:41:26 > 0:41:27I beg your pardon.

0:41:31 > 0:41:34"Tender Vines, the story of a wealthy young woman

0:41:34 > 0:41:38"forgoing privilege to marry an Italian farmer."

0:41:38 > 0:41:42It strains credulity as well as readers' sympathies.

0:41:42 > 0:41:45Mr Cowan, that's my own story.

0:41:45 > 0:41:48You are a lady,

0:41:48 > 0:41:52a member of Australia's squattocracy.

0:41:52 > 0:41:56I have a contract here for a different work entirely

0:41:56 > 0:42:03to be written about your world by someone who's lived in it.

0:42:03 > 0:42:06There's a signing fee and guaranteed publication.

0:42:06 > 0:42:09You could be the next Henry Handel Richardson.

0:42:10 > 0:42:13It's a generous offer.

0:42:13 > 0:42:15But, of course, if you wish to seek advice...

0:42:15 > 0:42:17You're not interested in what I've written.

0:42:17 > 0:42:20Your talent, yes.

0:42:20 > 0:42:23Your subject matter, no.

0:42:23 > 0:42:26You must remember it wasn't that long ago

0:42:26 > 0:42:28we were fighting the dagos.

0:42:28 > 0:42:30Dagos.

0:42:30 > 0:42:32That's my husband you're talking about.

0:42:42 > 0:42:43Rose!

0:42:45 > 0:42:48I trust Gino appreciated our gesture.

0:42:48 > 0:42:51He's taught me a few words already.

0:42:51 > 0:42:53Buongiorno. Come stai?

0:42:53 > 0:42:56It means, "Good morning. How are you?"

0:42:56 > 0:42:58You'll be quite the Italiana before you're done.

0:43:05 > 0:43:10I suppose you think me a scandalous fool.

0:43:10 > 0:43:11Well, perhaps less so,

0:43:11 > 0:43:13not having had what you said to him translated.

0:43:13 > 0:43:16Best not. Trust me.

0:43:17 > 0:43:19Well, there are other publishers.

0:43:20 > 0:43:25- Perhaps Sir Richard might advise on the way forward.- No.

0:43:25 > 0:43:28His connections to publishing are tenuous.

0:43:28 > 0:43:30He owns newspapers.

0:43:30 > 0:43:33Anna would rather succeed on her own merits, wouldn't you?

0:43:33 > 0:43:36- I hope to, but if Sir... - There. Good.

0:43:37 > 0:43:39Is anything wrong?

0:43:41 > 0:43:44I'm simply missing Jack.

0:43:46 > 0:43:49I hope neither of you mind if I head back to Inverness,

0:43:49 > 0:43:50see if the campaign needs a hand.

0:43:52 > 0:43:56GEORGIE CRIES

0:43:56 > 0:43:59You know what I really can't resolve?

0:43:59 > 0:44:02Not one of them has taken my feelings into account.

0:44:02 > 0:44:05A decision is made and it's a fait accompli!

0:44:05 > 0:44:08- OK. OK. - It is just so damned unfair!

0:44:08 > 0:44:11After all that I have suffered for them, they think they can just...

0:44:11 > 0:44:14Look, you have to admit, he would be well looked after.

0:44:14 > 0:44:16Ash Park, a Nanny, his father.

0:44:16 > 0:44:18This isn't a decision they can make.

0:44:18 > 0:44:21- Darling, I think they can.- No.

0:44:25 > 0:44:27It's an unpalatable truth.

0:44:32 > 0:44:35Truth? SHE CHUCKLES

0:44:35 > 0:44:38We'd all buckle under the weight of that.

0:44:40 > 0:44:41Me most of all.

0:44:45 > 0:44:46You want the truth?

0:44:51 > 0:44:54James isn't Georgie's father.

0:44:54 > 0:44:57- But you said... - I didn't give birth to him.

0:45:02 > 0:45:05After my first attack, I interfered

0:45:05 > 0:45:09to try to force my values, my increasingly outmoded values,

0:45:09 > 0:45:11on you all.

0:45:11 > 0:45:12My motive was love.

0:45:13 > 0:45:17The outcome was unfortunate, so this time I...

0:45:17 > 0:45:21I want to use my reprieve to see you all happy.

0:45:21 > 0:45:24Happily yourselves.

0:45:24 > 0:45:26I like this new grandmother.

0:45:26 > 0:45:28Mm. I do, too, rather.

0:45:28 > 0:45:31And what about you? Mr Goddard?

0:45:31 > 0:45:34No. With my prognosis, no.

0:45:34 > 0:45:37- Well, shouldn't you at least...? - No, he thinks I rejected him.

0:45:37 > 0:45:39Best left that way.

0:45:39 > 0:45:40Oh!

0:45:40 > 0:45:44Now, you know, I think your mother was wrong about Sir Richard.

0:45:44 > 0:45:47Will you fetch me my book? It's in my top drawer there.

0:45:47 > 0:45:50I thought you weren't interfering.

0:45:50 > 0:45:53- SHE EXHALES SHARPLY - Only to the good.- Mm-hm.

0:45:55 > 0:45:56Ah, yes.

0:45:59 > 0:46:02You're not...shocked?

0:46:06 > 0:46:08- I am un-shockable. - HE CHUCKLES

0:46:10 > 0:46:14James was in no position to deal with a stillborn.

0:46:14 > 0:46:16You can see, I...

0:46:16 > 0:46:20I did it...for love.

0:46:20 > 0:46:22I understand...

0:46:23 > 0:46:24..but they may not.

0:46:24 > 0:46:28Your actions were outrageous, Olivia.

0:46:28 > 0:46:33There was a sense to them at the time.

0:46:36 > 0:46:39- Perhaps less so now.- Mm.

0:46:41 > 0:46:43Lloyd...

0:46:43 > 0:46:49if I told them the truth, it would guarantee me Georgie.

0:46:49 > 0:46:50Um, not necessarily.

0:46:50 > 0:46:53George would only go to court for blood.

0:46:53 > 0:46:55- He wouldn't fight for him. - But James might.

0:46:55 > 0:46:57James has what he wants.

0:46:58 > 0:47:00James has his man.

0:47:07 > 0:47:10This is not who I am.

0:47:14 > 0:47:16SHE SIGHS

0:47:18 > 0:47:20So, what now?

0:47:25 > 0:47:26The truth.

0:47:30 > 0:47:33For the right reason.

0:47:36 > 0:47:38For resolution.

0:47:43 > 0:47:45He had his back up as soon as he heard your name.

0:47:45 > 0:47:47Franklin clearly got in his ear before he left.

0:47:47 > 0:47:50- You all right, then? - I've handled worse.

0:47:50 > 0:47:52- Ruddy Doris.- Hm?

0:47:52 > 0:47:55You were done with your library card hours ago.

0:47:55 > 0:47:57There are many ways to be useful, Doctor.

0:47:57 > 0:48:01Yeah. Well, sniffing for gossip isn't one of them. Scoot.

0:48:01 > 0:48:04Dr Duncan can be so abrasive in a crisis.

0:48:04 > 0:48:07An eventful day at school, I hear.

0:48:07 > 0:48:10It's given me a lot of respect for teachers.

0:48:10 > 0:48:14I might pop by Ash Park before heading home.

0:48:14 > 0:48:17After a somewhat hesitant start,

0:48:17 > 0:48:20the new Mrs Bligh and I have formed a charming intimacy.

0:48:20 > 0:48:23- She's asked to be kept informed. - Of what?

0:48:23 > 0:48:26Of Milly's death, the new police sergeant,

0:48:26 > 0:48:28what's being said.

0:48:28 > 0:48:30Did she know her?

0:48:30 > 0:48:34As Mrs Bligh, her interests are in all things Inverness.

0:48:34 > 0:48:37Imagine my thrill the other day when she visited me

0:48:37 > 0:48:40and even stayed to help me with my little tasks.

0:48:41 > 0:48:43Which day?

0:48:57 > 0:48:59- DORIS:- All the herbs are from my own garden.

0:48:59 > 0:49:02The chamomile and the red raspberry leaf

0:49:02 > 0:49:07are especially good for low spirits or those who are carrying.

0:49:07 > 0:49:10Mrs Nordmann was telling me how much she values it.

0:49:10 > 0:49:11Oh, indeed, indeed.

0:49:11 > 0:49:15If I could be so bold, perhaps more of that delicious cake?

0:49:15 > 0:49:18Oh! Of course!

0:49:18 > 0:49:20I won't be a moment.

0:49:20 > 0:49:22- I'm in no hurry.- Mm.

0:49:40 > 0:49:42Here we are!

0:49:43 > 0:49:46- Oh, isn't this cosy?- Most.

0:50:01 > 0:50:05Thought I'd get started on the tucker. Chops and mash do?

0:50:28 > 0:50:30Roy, can I borrow your truck?

0:50:30 > 0:50:32Suppose so.

0:50:32 > 0:50:34I don't know how long I'll be.

0:50:34 > 0:50:36Something wrong? You all right, missy?

0:51:01 > 0:51:03- Excuse me, ma'am.- Yes, Rose?

0:51:03 > 0:51:06Mrs Nordmann's here. She asked for you.

0:51:08 > 0:51:11Send her in. I won't require you.

0:51:24 > 0:51:26To what do I owe this displeasure?

0:51:27 > 0:51:29I'm curious...

0:51:30 > 0:51:32How does it feel to be a murderer?
