0:00:02 > 0:00:05It's always something, Anna. It's some plot, some scheme, some lie. Your family is sick!
0:00:05 > 0:00:07Now you can't even give me a son. What's the point?
0:00:07 > 0:00:09- You don't mean that.- I do.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12I wanted my own son and we can't have one.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14What's our marriage now?
0:00:14 > 0:00:16If you could leave a parcel at reception,
0:00:16 > 0:00:17along with additional prescriptions.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19I'm afraid I can't do that.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22The Board of Surgeons would take a very dim view
0:00:22 > 0:00:24of your sodomite activities.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Thank you so very much.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28This has to be the last time.
0:00:28 > 0:00:32The last time is my call. Not yours.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34I'd like to send a telegram, please.
0:00:34 > 0:00:39For, unto us, a child is born in a manger in Inverness.
0:00:39 > 0:00:44A flying officer, Gordon Walsh, Butterworth Military Base, Malaya.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47A friend of mine's having a birthday party in Sydney. Mostly our kind.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Your kind of our kind aren't my kind.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Suppose you wrote a novel.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Death by poison of a young school teacher
0:00:55 > 0:00:57and the story surrounding it,
0:00:57 > 0:01:00names and places changed, but sufficient to the purpose.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03We will hang Regina's good name even if we can't hang Regina.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08This is a vicious exercise in character assassination.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10What if I told you it's all true?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13You're telling me Regina killed the young Davis woman
0:01:13 > 0:01:17- in trying to poison Sarah? - Yes.- Has George seen it?
0:01:17 > 0:01:22If he reads this, if anyone does beyond your malicious inner cabal,
0:01:22 > 0:01:25I will reveal every sordid truth I know!
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Not even you would hurt a child.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31A Jew's brat. With pleasure.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33She's played me.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35I need to stare that truth in the face
0:01:35 > 0:01:38and see her where she belongs.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40So, it's done?
0:01:40 > 0:01:42It is. In a way that sees us all safe.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53Yes, this is much better.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56The walls have ears, you know.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57I intend to be back by this evening.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58What would you like us to do here?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Just go about your day as if nothing's wrong.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Regina's to suspect nothing untoward.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05But surely we need to know what you're planning, George.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07The less you know about my plans, Mother,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10the easier it will be for you to behave as if Regina has won the day.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- But, you do intend to deal with her once and for all?- Yes.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18I've been blind.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I'm the fool who married her, after all.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23And I'm the fool who brought her back into this house,
0:02:23 > 0:02:25so don't you feel guilty, George.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28But having caught the tiger, it must first be defanged.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Precisely.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35And as we're being observed,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38let's take an inordinate interest in my roses, shall we?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10This party that James is planning to attend,
0:03:10 > 0:03:13what sort of affair is it exactly?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15I'm not sure.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18The sort of party that the police would want to raid?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Regina could have a private detective on him, for all we know.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27I will try Henry again once we get to town.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29The main thing is to get there, locate them
0:03:29 > 0:03:31and make sure they behave impeccably.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34I will do my best.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41Thank you.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Now, only if you don't mind...
0:03:46 > 0:03:48"London Times, The Observer..."
0:03:48 > 0:03:50"The latest Raymond Chandler."
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Excuse my scrawl, or the Michener, if they don't have it.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- Dymocks will have them.- Or Macleay Street, whatever's easiest.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- Thank you.- Ready?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01See you soon.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02Isn't this a day trip?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Olivia's staying over.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05I'll be back this evening.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07I wonder if I shouldn't come?
0:04:09 > 0:04:10I can wait for you, if you like.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Be off before I change my mind.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23See you tonight.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30What was our English aristocrat up to before she left?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32She was looking for Mr Bligh's address book.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34The little pink one, no doubt.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- And the old trout? - Still on her constitutional, ma'am.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Fetch my stationery and address books, we're having a celebration.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33I'll be right here when you wake up, all right?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Sleep well.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45There you go.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Sh. All right, darling.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Sleep well.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Oh, me and Missy will make short work of that.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Emma made the plait on top, not me.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Honestly, the detail she goes into.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23She wants you to teach her wood work, of all things.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Does she now?
0:06:30 > 0:06:34This is just temporary, right, her being back here?
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Oh, see how it goes, really.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43And what about us...
0:06:43 > 0:06:46do you think, Roy?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49When you say "us," it makes it sound like we're a couple.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Well, that's what we've been.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59In front of people, that's what we've been.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00I'm not trying to lead you on.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Oh, jeez, Roy!
0:07:04 > 0:07:07I'd say you pretty much have.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Look, I reckon you can do much better than me, Dawn.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18I'm just too set in my ways.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23I've been set in my ways, too.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30That's why this has been nice.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Well, too right it is. I mean, it is.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Good morning, Dawn.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40Morning, Sarah.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Enjoy the bread.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Do you need to go and smooth things over?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Not with Regina out to get you.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55I'll wait till Doris turns up.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56No need being skittish.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Until she's actually put away,
0:08:00 > 0:08:03I'm sure she's basking in fool's paradise, confident she's won.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08What about this one?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Ah, this is more my cup of tea. Thank you.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15A courtesy to inform you of a luncheon for 50 people,
0:08:15 > 0:08:17possibly 100.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Some of George's political supporters.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23I'll be busy, but thank you all the same.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25George will be surrounded by his family,
0:08:25 > 0:08:28including the aged and infirm.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31You'll be seated at pride of place, next to Sir Richard.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36- As I said...- You reside here. I reign here.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42I will be blunting all the knives.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Now, ladies, I'm not quite sure what all this is about,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47but I was fervently hoping
0:08:47 > 0:08:50you had come in to invite me out for another ride.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Oh, no, I only smoke very occasionally these days.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I'm sure you do.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58We did say the best of three.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Only on one condition.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02That depends.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05No more suggestive remarks about my posterior.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I really can't imagine what you mean!
0:09:12 > 0:09:15I'm going to hold you to it.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16I'm sure you will.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Oh! Aunt Peg!
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Oh, what lovely work!
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Oh, look at the eyes!
0:09:56 > 0:09:58And that tail!
0:09:58 > 0:10:01You know, Peg made me an elephant when I was little.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05It was my favourite toy for years. He's going to love these.
0:10:06 > 0:10:11I do hope Mrs Carvolth knows what she's taking on.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Men like Mr Briggs when they reach a certain age,
0:10:13 > 0:10:16it's either their way or the highway, I've observed.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23You know, I read an article once in the National Geographic,
0:10:23 > 0:10:24that in Africa,
0:10:24 > 0:10:27the older male elephants, when they're no longer of use,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29get pushed out of the herd.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Get pushed out on to the savanna by the females.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Interesting.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Not that I'm suggesting that for Mr Briggs.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Of course not. He's still quite useful.
0:10:42 > 0:10:47Indeed, albeit somewhat high-handed at times.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Obviously Mrs Carvolth doesn't mind,
0:10:50 > 0:10:53or perhaps she does.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05You have to get a ticket. It's brilliant, honestly.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06The Phillip Street revue.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08The two David Jones floorwalkers.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Oh, and it is about the royal tour.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Oh, don't look over there in the socks and jocks department.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Isn't that Prince Philip? I think he might need help with his sizing!
0:11:17 > 0:11:18And then Gordon Chater goes,
0:11:18 > 0:11:21"Don't you wonder what it's like, ducky, sleeping with a Queen?"
0:11:21 > 0:11:23He had him down to a T, unlike me!
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Sounds good. Want to go along?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28I've had enough of the royal tour to last me a lifetime.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30You were falling over your stethoscopes, I'm sure,
0:11:30 > 0:11:32when Her Majesty visited you lot.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Stale tales, boring.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Pardon us for living, Dr Fox(!)
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- How are we all today? - Mr Fox, as I live and breathe...
0:11:43 > 0:11:45So, these people are...
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Henry's set, mostly.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48So it's not just...
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Some of these people look like straights.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56They are. A few of Aunt Carolyn's friends, actually.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- And they're all right with us?- Yes.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01We're not in Inverness now!
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- I'm not sure this is for me. - You're with me. You fit in.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- Now we see why Henry Foxy has had the tom tits.- Who's he?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23MAN MURMURS
0:12:27 > 0:12:30I never told anyone bring a friend.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32For all I know, he's about to sing on the coppers
0:12:32 > 0:12:34and send us all to the clink.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37I'll talk to him.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Hello, stranger.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Indeed.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49So you two finally get to meet.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Harry Polson, you remember Henry Fox?
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Would you excuse us for a moment? James.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Back in a tick.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Honestly, James!
0:13:11 > 0:13:14What a stupid thing to do, to bring him.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17The host is very upset. Everyone's on edge.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19He's a friend, I didn't think anyone would mind.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22You know this set-up.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Everyone knows each other, they trust each other.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Perhaps if you returned my phone calls I could have asked.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Stop being such a bore.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35I've got enough pressure going on without this, so just sort it out.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I know how much you're needed at the hospital, Doris.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47I don't want to take up your whole day.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Mr Briggs ordered me not to leave until he returned.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- He ordered me.- Why didn't you say? I'm fine.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57I've got Lucky and I've got this.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Oh, goodness me!
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Oh, Roy thought he saw a brown snake yesterday, that's all.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07Have you ever used a firearm, Sister Nordmann?
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Oh! I mean, I think I could, if I had to.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15CAR APPROACHES
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Oh, that's probably him now.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39Oh, I do wish that Mr Briggs would install a telephone.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I've been wanting to talk to you all morning.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- I won't stay long.- No, no.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48- You're very welcome.- Thank you.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Well, our plan worked.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Magnificently.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53Your proof absolute.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55George told me of the threats.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58I'm so sorry you had to endure them.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Well, they were imaginative, to say the least.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- Even Douglas was on the receiving end.- Yes.- We're all rather on edge.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10- Was George any clearer on how he was going to proceed?- Thank you.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12He would prefer none of us know the details
0:15:12 > 0:15:16so that when we cross paths with her, it's just an ordinary day.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18It's easier for me, I'm not leaving the house.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20But you are making sure the door is locked?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Roy won't be long.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25In any case, she's up to her elbows organising a luncheon.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29I must make sure the invitations don't go out in the post.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Well, this time tomorrow...
0:15:32 > 0:15:35George will have shut the lid on Pandora's box.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39I wonder how...different we'll all feel?
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Jack described it as a megalomania of sorts.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Condition seeded years ago.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53A fierce sibling jealousy of Elaine for winning George's heart.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Or it started in early childhood.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00None of which makes it any easier to be on the receiving end.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Oh, I almost forgot!
0:16:10 > 0:16:12George!
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Is there a slight resemblance there to David?
0:16:16 > 0:16:19BABY CRIES
0:16:19 > 0:16:21It always feels like feeding time.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Well, I should stay until Mr Briggs comes back.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26He'll be back soon, I promise.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32How would you feel about having a little hold?
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Back in a moment.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06What news, Sergeant?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08I wonder.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42So these protection blokes from the Prime Minister's office
0:17:42 > 0:17:44will come in handy.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47This Communist cell, Soviet teaching place,
0:17:47 > 0:17:49it's only about 15 miles from here.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52So close. And?
0:17:53 > 0:17:56I've got a woman in the post office monitoring her mail.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Quite a bit from someone going by Aunt Peg.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- Possibly code.- It would be.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04All of her relatives are dead and gone.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Well, these Canberra blokes have pulled out a theory,
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- but without solid proof... - Oh, for the love of God!
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Someone should just run her and the brat off the road and be done with it!
0:18:15 > 0:18:18I'm still scared for my life.
0:18:18 > 0:18:23How fortunate to have you to protect me.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Excuse me.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18I seem to have taken a wrong turn.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24When you get back to our gate,
0:19:24 > 0:19:28you turn left and just follow that road for about, I don't know,
0:19:28 > 0:19:30three or four miles.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33You lived here long?
0:19:33 > 0:19:35A while.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I'm here doing some writing for the Socialist Worker.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39The union wants a story.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41There's been some trouble with the Blighs.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Poor conditions, below the awards.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Is that the sort of thing you hear?
0:19:46 > 0:19:48I work at the hospital.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51They seem very well looked after during the season.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Big wool profits this year.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55No excuse to shaft the workers, is there?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Anything you say will be off the record.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00You really should speak to them. They're a good family.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Still landed gentry though, aren't they?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07How do I put this? Um...
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Not everyone here votes Country Party,
0:20:09 > 0:20:13even the rusted-on Labor voters were behind George Bligh.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- Did you support him? - Yes, I did, actually.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20What's this really about?
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- Just doing my job.- Which is what?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28It's OK.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43So Papa and I thought...
0:20:43 > 0:20:46GINO SPEAKS ITALIAN
0:20:46 > 0:20:47You know, a tasting room.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50A little hut where they can taste the wine before they buy it.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53And the straw wrapping on the wine bottles, I saw all that.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Gino, this health situation with Anna.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Obviously, she and I have talked about it.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05At least you're honest enough to tell me.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07We'll sort it out.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Not even Anna knows what I'm about to tell you.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23I can't father a child.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- What about Anna? - I won't go into details,
0:21:26 > 0:21:28but it's something that happened in the war.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31I thought the best thing would be if I just never loved a woman again.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36I nearly lost Carolyn for good because of that.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38So Carolyn knew this when she married you?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Of course.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Marriage is about family.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46There's no point doing it if you can't have children.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Plenty of happy couples can't have children.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- Or they adopt. - I don't believe in that.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Anyway, you've got Anna. It's not the same.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Just make sure you and Anna don't close down like I did.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08I'm not going to leave Anna or anything, if that's what you think.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11If you want someone to talk to...
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Anyway, I'm Catholic, I can't.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17A divorce, you're excommunicated, cut out of everything,
0:22:17 > 0:22:20the rest of your life's a shell. It's the way it goes.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Sorry.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Found some people to talk to?
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Rodgers and Hammer...
0:23:13 > 0:23:14something...
0:23:14 > 0:23:17They write musicals. South Pacific, I think.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22It's a big barrel of laughs that I've never heard of them.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- What smart aleck was that? - It doesn't matter.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Was it that chap in the white suit?
0:23:34 > 0:23:38That was a sly proposition to meet down in the park after dark.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39I've had two of those so far.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42You came with me.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47I told you back home they think I'm rough trade.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48Don't.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- You on your way?- When we leave, feel free to tell this crowd that
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Harry was bashed and left for dead not long ago for being one of us.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08One of us.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11I'm sorry you didn't bother to get to know him today.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13He's a good-hearted decent man.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Use your head, Bligh.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21If Lord Montague serves a year in Wormwood Scrubs,
0:24:21 > 0:24:23- where does that leave the rest of us?- That was...
0:24:27 > 0:24:30That was on the other side of the world.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33This is here, now.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35- Today.- It happens here every night.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Try ringing the truth from time to time.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40So let's all fret about being dismissed by society
0:24:40 > 0:24:43and form a society that dismisses our own?
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- You don't understand.- No, I don't.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55I won't see you later.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06No, you won't.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Don't leave yet. We wanted to apologise for everyone.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Just, if I made you feel uncomfortable, I'm sorry.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31The trouble with these parties is we're all so insular.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34- Go on, Tom, tell him what you told me.- No, Gracie.- We should go.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- The reason I didn't talk to you in there...- Look, it's all right.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39..is because you're so devastatingly handsome.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44Thank you.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48I believe you know a bit about gardens.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53- Yeah, a bit.- You're an expert.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59They're not a bad crew. Come back and have a drink.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00We'll look after him.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Go on.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09What about you?
0:26:11 > 0:26:12I'm fine.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15I'd hate for you to feel we're driving you away.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17No.
0:26:17 > 0:26:18I've got things to do.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Enjoy yourselves.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Henry's just got a case of the bitters. He'll come good.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58CAR HORN BLARES
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Why don't you tell me straight what's going on?
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Mate, I don't even know what you're doing.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32"And unto us a child is born, in a manger in Inverness."
0:27:34 > 0:27:38- You got me there! - "Us," it says, "us."
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Whatever you're doing, you know it's got nothing to do with me.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52You'd have had your day in court if it wasn't for the prosecutors.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54If I were you, I'd just forget about this and be on my way.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56When I went back to Malaya,
0:27:56 > 0:27:57I thought a lot more about the two of you.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01- Geeing me up to kill an unborn child...- Hey, you listen, sunshine.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03- And the more I thought about it...- Nordmann killed your fiancee,
0:28:03 > 0:28:06with the intention of framing Regina Bligh
0:28:06 > 0:28:09to destroy George Bligh's campaign.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Nearly died a painful death at her hands.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14No-one was geeing you up.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16The problem with all of that...
0:28:16 > 0:28:21is the last couple of days I've been watching Nordmann very closely.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24She isn't a subversive's bootstrap.
0:28:24 > 0:28:25The wealthiest family in the district are in
0:28:25 > 0:28:28and out of her place, visiting like they're old friends.
0:28:28 > 0:28:29They're all Commies, are they?
0:28:32 > 0:28:35You should just head off now, mate.
0:28:35 > 0:28:36That telegram...
0:28:38 > 0:28:41..was like a victory announcement or something, like it was all a joke.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43All jolly japes.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47Like someone can't wait for Nordmann to be dead.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53All right.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56You drive out to Brunston.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Stay in the pub overnight and I'll phone you.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00- To tell me what? - To give you some answers.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01No more bullshit.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03First thing tomorrow.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09You know what I reckon? If I'm being played here, then you are too.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Probably a hell of a lot more.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30You can't keep reporters out of the courtroom if she goes to trial.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33By that stage she would have been committed for some time.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Her views on the family will be seen through that prism.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Hopefully her vitriol diminished.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42Look, I have to say, I don't go much on your family.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45You and I both know that my family are
0:29:45 > 0:29:47the basis of my political career.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51If Regina carries out these threats, if she rails in public,
0:29:51 > 0:29:55everything you and I've worked for collapses in one bloody heap.
0:29:55 > 0:29:56Ah.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02In this first stage, as much discretion as we can muster.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Call in favours, if need be.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08No-one needs to know she's gone gaga.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10I'll make some calls.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14- Thank you.- All right.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18You owe me one!
0:30:34 > 0:30:36So there's your bloke.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40This has got bloody Taylor written all over it.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Right, you! Yeah, you.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Remember me? You didn't have a light.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47I've got two words for you - bugger off!
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Whatever you've got, we don't want any.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52- Go inside.- My name's Gordon Walsh.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54- Stay right there. - Milly Davis' fiance?
0:30:54 > 0:30:56I just want to know who killed her.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58I think you might have a pretty good idea.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Do you have anything to prove who you are?
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Get away from that car. What are you doing with that?
0:31:08 > 0:31:10I was almost fooled into killing someone.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15- Who?- You.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Who is it?
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Who is it that wants me dead?
0:31:21 > 0:31:22Regina Bligh.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35It's all so...
0:31:35 > 0:31:36It's all so...
0:31:38 > 0:31:41It's all so terribly sad.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44She was a marvellous nursing sister.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46The baby?
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Put up for adoption, it's all underway.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50No.
0:31:50 > 0:31:51No sign of the gunman.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53KNOCK ON DOOR
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Telephone for you, Mrs Bligh.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57A gentleman, but he didn't give his name.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Mrs Bligh speaking.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Whoa!
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Summoned twice in one day, Sergeant Taylor.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27I'm flattered. What can I say?
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Gordon Walsh is back in town.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34I wonder how he knew the baby was born.
0:32:34 > 0:32:35I don't know.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42How do you think he found out that she'd had the kid?
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Goodness, Brian, your guess is as good as mine.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54He wanted to be informed.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58You had no right to do this.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03A child is born in Inverness? Jesus wept!
0:33:03 > 0:33:06- Detective Plod could trace this in his lunch hour!- He wanted justice!
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Except he doesn't think Nordmann's a subversive at all.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11He's seen the Blighs and her, all very chummy.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13They're a bunch of sentimental old fools!
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Coo-cooing over the brand-new Jew like the Three Wise Men,
0:33:16 > 0:33:20- without the myrrh.- You know, this got me thinking.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Who is the father of the Nordmann child?
0:33:24 > 0:33:27The milkman or the dustman, for all we know.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Or George Bligh.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33It's her dead husband's, for goodness' sake!
0:33:38 > 0:33:41And who did poison Milly Davis?
0:33:41 > 0:33:44She did. Have you gone mad?!
0:33:49 > 0:33:52See, if Walsh goes to the bosses, I will be up the creek.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55He'd hardly incriminate himself. Brian, listen, listen...
0:33:55 > 0:33:59No. I have a wife and child to support.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02I can't afford to go down for this.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06I can't see you for a while.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10You make this sound like we're not a team. Are we a team?
0:34:10 > 0:34:12I just need to work stuff out.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Brian, what are you doing?
0:34:14 > 0:34:17Wait. Wait!
0:34:17 > 0:34:18Wait! Wait!
0:34:18 > 0:34:21The only lie I told was about the telegram.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24I had too much to drink and I'm in love with you.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Hopelessly. Please, let's talk.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Get out of the car, please.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31All that matters is the Jew killed that girl.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33- You know that.- This isn't funny.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37- Hop out of the car, please. - It isn't what?
0:34:37 > 0:34:39It isn't funny? Not funny?
0:34:41 > 0:34:42Really?!
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Well, how about this?!
0:34:47 > 0:34:50You do not want to go back to your stupid, stupid wife!
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Do you?
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Oh, thank goodness!
0:35:02 > 0:35:04What are you doing here?
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Is James not with you?
0:35:06 > 0:35:09I have been telephoning all around trying to find you.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13It's deja vu. Please don't run crying down the street.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15He was supposed to be meeting you at a party?
0:35:15 > 0:35:18He came. He saw. He scarpered.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21So who's he with?
0:35:21 > 0:35:23There was a period when you were quite nice.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Henry. Regina's on the warpath.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28She is threatening to expose him.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34He left on his own.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Hours ago, his hotel as usual, I don't know.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40I've been there too, and I keep telephoning them,
0:35:40 > 0:35:44but they are rather wary of wives tracking down their husbands.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47If James comes here, be careful.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50She may already have telephoned photographers,
0:35:50 > 0:35:52a private detective... Who would know?
0:35:54 > 0:35:56I'll come to the hotel.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Just me. Discretion is the first order.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Discretion used to be my middle name.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03There's something he needs to know.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34SHE CRIES
0:36:42 > 0:36:44KNOCK ON DOOR
0:36:44 > 0:36:45Come in.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53I'd kill for a sherry.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Or five.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59But you go first.
0:37:05 > 0:37:06I, um...
0:37:13 > 0:37:17I'm very ashamed to have to tell you...
0:37:19 > 0:37:23Well, some months ago I succumbed to blackmail.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31The very thing we all fear, and I caved.
0:37:33 > 0:37:38Out of sheer terror. Still, I...crumbled.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43And it's been...
0:37:43 > 0:37:46devouring me to the point where I can barely breathe.
0:37:50 > 0:37:51Who?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Regina Bligh.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35Sorry I'm late.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43How are you two?
0:38:43 > 0:38:44I was just saying that, um,
0:38:44 > 0:38:48as I understand it, in the Catholic church,
0:38:48 > 0:38:51annulment is possible under certain conditions.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54- I beg your pardon? - Mama asked Father Joe for me.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58- Why?- You went to my priest?
0:38:58 > 0:39:00In confidence, Gino.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02The couple doesn't have to get divorced.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04We can appear before a tribunal
0:39:04 > 0:39:07and the case would rest on my inability to have children...
0:39:07 > 0:39:09You told her this?
0:39:09 > 0:39:11You're saying all this to shock me?
0:39:11 > 0:39:14These are the facts, that's all, for you both.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18I don't want to see either of you give up on this marriage.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Oh, that's a blessed relief!
0:39:21 > 0:39:24But I don't want to see you trapped, caught in a marriage,
0:39:24 > 0:39:27- because you think you can't get out. - Let's just slow down.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35After all you two went through to get together.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37You want to break up over this?
0:39:38 > 0:39:40This is a rough patch,
0:39:40 > 0:39:43but you'll look back on this time one day and you will...
0:39:50 > 0:39:52What were you thinking?
0:39:52 > 0:39:55If they know their options, at least they can decide.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59How dare you bring it up in front of them!
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Gino, please, this annulment...
0:40:01 > 0:40:03There's... There's more...
0:40:04 > 0:40:06There's more to it.
0:40:07 > 0:40:08I love you, Anna.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Is this seriously what you want?
0:40:12 > 0:40:13Anna, tell me!
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Anna!
