0:00:02 > 0:00:03Is Georgie mine?

0:00:03 > 0:00:05Of course Georgie is yours, he's OUR little boy!

0:00:05 > 0:00:07James isn't Georgie's father.

0:00:07 > 0:00:09- But you said... - I didn't give birth to him.

0:00:09 > 0:00:14You be as cavalier as you wish with your marriage, but not with Georgie.

0:00:16 > 0:00:19He is a Bligh, he will be raised by us.

0:00:19 > 0:00:22Bear all the shame and part with my son?

0:00:22 > 0:00:25That is truly a Bligh solution.

0:00:25 > 0:00:27So, what now?

0:00:27 > 0:00:28The truth.

0:00:28 > 0:00:32There's just one little thing I need you to do for me.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35Could you teach me Italian? I could pay you.

0:00:35 > 0:00:36He's taught me a few words already.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39You'll be quite the Italiano before you're done.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41You're not interested in what I've written.

0:00:41 > 0:00:44Your subject matter, no.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47- Perhaps Sir Richard might advise on the way forward?- No.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Anna would rather succeed on her own merits.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51- Give me a kiss.- Ah!

0:00:51 > 0:00:52'He...'

0:00:52 > 0:00:55forced himself on me.

0:00:55 > 0:00:56He won't get away with this.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59I think your mother was wrong about Sir Richard.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02Can you fetch me my book? It's in the top drawer there.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05Whatever was between us, George, you're a married man...

0:01:05 > 0:01:07- Nothing else matters... - ..I'm equally unavailable...

0:01:07 > 0:01:09We will be together, Sarah.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12For one so young to take her life and then to use...

0:01:12 > 0:01:15If it hadn't been your mixture, she would've used something else.

0:01:15 > 0:01:16If she killed herself.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19What if she didn't?

0:01:19 > 0:01:21Your husband shot George Bligh.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23- I don't see what that has to... - It's all right, Jack.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25Are you a Communist too?

0:01:25 > 0:01:28The new Mrs Bligh and I have formed a delightful intimacy.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31Imagine my thrill the other day when she visited me

0:01:31 > 0:01:34and even stayed to help me with my little task.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43To what do I owe this displeasure?

0:01:43 > 0:01:45How does it feel to be a murderer?

0:01:55 > 0:01:57DOG WHINES

0:02:14 > 0:02:18I had no idea the depth of your heartbreak.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20These are the ravings of someone unhinged.

0:02:20 > 0:02:21You visited Doris,

0:02:21 > 0:02:25you poisoned the tonic and somehow the bottles were mislabelled.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28You would say anything to take George from me.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31How can you live with killing an innocent woman?

0:02:31 > 0:02:33- It was suicide.- But it wasn't.

0:02:34 > 0:02:35And they have proof.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39It's become a murder investigation.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44There it is.

0:02:44 > 0:02:45Fear.

0:02:45 > 0:02:46I'm simply surprised.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49That's what I came for, the flicker of truth.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51- Where are you going?- Now you've confirmed it, the police.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Let me save you the bother.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Yes, Mildred,

0:02:59 > 0:03:02call Sergeant Taylor and tell him he's required at Ash Park.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04Yes, urgently.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09He hates Communists, I hear.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Even more than his predecessor.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16"The Reds are amongst us, Sergeant.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18"The Petrovs prove it.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21"She's out to destroy my husband by accusing me,

0:03:21 > 0:03:24"she may well have killed Miss Davis to that very end."

0:03:27 > 0:03:28Who will he believe?

0:03:31 > 0:03:34I'll make a most persuasive argument.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Riddled with supposition from a bitter ex-fiance.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41You know,

0:03:41 > 0:03:44I unearthed more in Europe than darling Rene.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Quite the dossier.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48What you did to survive the camp,

0:03:48 > 0:03:52its liberation by the Russians a perfect chance to recruit you.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55And then months in an asylum.

0:03:55 > 0:03:59All of which makes you a mad Commie whore.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Exactly how I'll characterise you to the sergeant.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07And I'll tell him all I know.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09Of which you have no proof!

0:04:11 > 0:04:12None.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16Checkmate, I think.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26Milly Davis was a young woman with her entire life ahead of her.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29Oh, get out before you're thrown out!

0:04:29 > 0:04:30DOOR OPENS

0:04:33 > 0:04:36I've kept yours warm, it's on the stove right here.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39- I'm not hungry. - You can't waste good tucker,

0:04:39 > 0:04:41especially not in your condition.

0:05:08 > 0:05:09I'm sorry...

0:05:17 > 0:05:19I want this on record.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22Simply to protect against further attempts to malign me.

0:05:22 > 0:05:26You sure you don't want her charged, trespass, false accusation?

0:05:26 > 0:05:28She left of her own accord.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31I'll see she gets a good warning at least.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33Her ravings are so bizarre.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36I really can't take her seriously.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45Thanks for this.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48- It helps to know. - Forewarned is forearmed.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53Please, just between us.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55It gives me leverage in silencing her.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00Whatever you say, ma'am.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03And naturally as so much is sensitive material,

0:06:03 > 0:06:05once read, I would like it returned.

0:06:07 > 0:06:08Thank you.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13I used to stand at the front gate as a child,

0:06:13 > 0:06:15I wondered what it was like in here.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17- I was born here.- In Inverness?

0:06:17 > 0:06:19Left when I was 12.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21So, is it as you imagined?

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Not as grand.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27A child's mind.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29Of course, it is property such as these that the Communists

0:06:29 > 0:06:31have in their sights.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33What's one of their sayings?

0:06:33 > 0:06:35The last capitalist we hang will be the one that sold us the rope.

0:06:35 > 0:06:36We think as one.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Do you still have family in the area?

0:06:41 > 0:06:42No.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45- A wife?- No.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47I've got a kid. He's with her.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52Well, I'll sleep sounder knowing you're back amongst us.

0:06:54 > 0:06:55I hope so, ma'am.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59You, a killer?

0:06:59 > 0:07:01As insane as the woman herself.

0:07:03 > 0:07:04Goodnight, ma'am.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38Come in.

0:07:39 > 0:07:40We have things to resolve.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44Oh.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46I did not expect to see you.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48I come with an olive branch.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50Please, sit.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53I wanted to talk about our situation.

0:07:53 > 0:07:54Father has something germane to offer.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57And then you can discuss your own issues.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59- Drink?- Sherry.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01I'll see to it.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09The election is in four weeks.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Father is concerned about party confidence

0:08:11 > 0:08:13should his leadership sniff scandal.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17Sir Arthur Fadden is staunchly conservative.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19What do you want?

0:08:19 > 0:08:20A delay in the inevitable.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24You'll return to Ash Park.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26At least until after the election.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29And if I'm successful, at least until I'm well settled in office.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Six months at most.

0:08:31 > 0:08:35You send Carolyn to threaten me with the law...

0:08:35 > 0:08:36then ask this?

0:08:36 > 0:08:38I'm hoping you can see a way past that.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40SHE LAUGHS

0:08:42 > 0:08:44You're happy to embrace it?

0:08:44 > 0:08:45I think we could carry it off.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48For Father.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51And for yourselves.

0:08:51 > 0:08:55In this current atmosphere, my opponents may seize on things,

0:08:55 > 0:08:58the gutter press would relish it.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00You and...

0:09:00 > 0:09:02this artist.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04James, open to speculation.

0:09:12 > 0:09:13I see.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17If we could discuss it, alone?

0:09:18 > 0:09:19Of course.

0:09:29 > 0:09:30I do understand if it's no.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36I sincerely hope...

0:09:36 > 0:09:37once I've said my piece...

0:09:42 > 0:09:45When you asked me at Ash Park...

0:09:45 > 0:09:47I hadn't the courage to admit the truth.

0:09:49 > 0:09:50Georgie is...

0:09:52 > 0:09:53He is our little boy.

0:09:56 > 0:09:57But, James...

0:10:01 > 0:10:03..our own child died in the womb.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16- Welcome.- Thank you.- Miss Bligh?- Yes.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22- Sir Richard.- Oh, thank you, Carl.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26Beauty runs in the Bligh line, young Anna.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29Well, so do brains, Sir Richard.

0:10:29 > 0:10:30I see.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32One of these new women.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34"Like me for my mind."

0:10:34 > 0:10:38Well, I'm here to discuss publishing so that would suggest so.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41But still you're tizzied up and out to dazzle,

0:10:41 > 0:10:43seems you want it both ways.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45Well, you're rather tizzied up yourself.

0:10:47 > 0:10:48Touche.

0:10:49 > 0:10:53So, Dymphna Cusack, Eleanor Dark,

0:10:53 > 0:10:56Christina Stead, and now Anna Bligh.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00Let's see what we can do to make it happen.

0:11:06 > 0:11:07James?

0:11:11 > 0:11:12I did do it for love.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19Please don't be angry.

0:11:19 > 0:11:20I'm not.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24- You must be.- I'm not...

0:11:24 > 0:11:25angry.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31After my deceit in marrying you,

0:11:31 > 0:11:33I have no right to take the moral high ground.

0:11:37 > 0:11:38I'm...

0:11:39 > 0:11:40..sad.

0:11:45 > 0:11:46It's just...

0:11:48 > 0:11:50It's just so sad.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58To move past all that pain

0:11:58 > 0:12:02and find enough love to motivate your actions,

0:12:02 > 0:12:05it makes where we've ended all the more tragic.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16Perhaps you should fully absorb it...

0:12:17 > 0:12:19..before we discuss anything further.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26The family should know.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33Olivia...

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Can I see him?

0:12:37 > 0:12:38Georgie?

0:12:41 > 0:12:42You're a spirited filly.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44You know what it means?

0:12:44 > 0:12:47Every good businessman knows how to say it in as many languages

0:12:47 > 0:12:50as possible. Young ladies, however...

0:12:50 > 0:12:54- Oh, shouldn't say it at all? - Only on very select occasions.

0:12:54 > 0:12:58Mind you, this Cowan chap does have a point about the reading public

0:12:58 > 0:13:00- not being interested in mixed marriages...- I disagree.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02I think that the story of my husband...

0:13:02 > 0:13:05The dago...damn fine fellow in question...

0:13:07 > 0:13:09The way I see it...

0:13:09 > 0:13:10you're ahead of the times.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14Write something you want to say.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16That they'll want to buy.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18I'd rather challenge them.

0:13:20 > 0:13:21You challenge me.

0:13:25 > 0:13:29You're intelligent, talented,

0:13:29 > 0:13:32you crack blue jokes with a wink, not a snigger.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36I hope your dago appreciates you.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39I'm just pulling your leg.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42Right... Sweets and then home.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27I'm...

0:14:27 > 0:14:28Sorry.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38It's all right. It's all right.

0:14:38 > 0:14:39It's all right.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44I understand. I understand.

0:14:46 > 0:14:47I don't.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53CHATTER AND LAUGHTER

0:14:53 > 0:14:54DOOR UNLOCKS

0:14:54 > 0:14:58Well, thank you. I just...

0:14:58 > 0:15:02It meant the world to me to be taken seriously by someone like you.

0:15:02 > 0:15:03To everyone their due.

0:15:10 > 0:15:11Gentleman's privilege.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15Tell me how the meetings go.

0:15:15 > 0:15:16- Goodnight.- Goodnight.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48Are you coming to bed?

0:15:48 > 0:15:49Soon.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53Nothing I did?

0:15:53 > 0:15:54No.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00They're all looking forward to meeting you.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Tomorrow.

0:16:02 > 0:16:03The beach.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06Oh, I...

0:16:06 > 0:16:09Don't even think about cancelling.

0:16:09 > 0:16:10It'll distract you from this.

0:16:13 > 0:16:14Whatever this is.

0:16:21 > 0:16:25BIRDSONG

0:16:29 > 0:16:31Oh... DOOR OPENS

0:16:33 > 0:16:37- I'm late.- Get back.

0:16:37 > 0:16:38Go on. Just this once.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44We can avoid the sniping in here.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46Regina. Is she up?

0:16:46 > 0:16:47I didn't see her.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51You could always stay with me.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54I wouldn't give her the satisfaction.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57She's just out to isolate George to herself.

0:16:59 > 0:17:00Ta.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07I'm sorry about last night.

0:17:09 > 0:17:10I just needed comfort.

0:17:19 > 0:17:23If you want me to keep away from the mongrel, fine.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26You can't ignore what it's doing to us though.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32I can block out what he did...

0:17:33 > 0:17:36..until we were intimate.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39SHE CRIES SOFTLY

0:17:42 > 0:17:43I love you.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45I know.

0:17:48 > 0:17:54There have been a lot of men in my life, by my choice,

0:17:54 > 0:17:56and now there is you...

0:17:56 > 0:17:57again.

0:18:00 > 0:18:04And I never want another man but one...

0:18:04 > 0:18:07forced himself...

0:18:07 > 0:18:12on me using every man who came before to justify it.

0:18:12 > 0:18:13He's made me feel...

0:18:15 > 0:18:18..cheap and disgusting and...

0:18:20 > 0:18:22- ..unworthy.- Hey. Of me?

0:18:24 > 0:18:27- I can't help it.- No, no... - You deserve so much more, Jack.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29- No, hey. Shush, shush.- You... - Hey, hey.

0:18:30 > 0:18:31I'm here.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34I'm here.

0:18:34 > 0:18:35Always.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43BELL RINGS

0:18:55 > 0:18:56I wonder what he wants.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01Has he got anything to do with you being out of sorts?

0:19:04 > 0:19:06I thought as much.

0:19:12 > 0:19:15You've seen Regina Bligh, I assume?

0:19:15 > 0:19:18Let's get one thing straight up.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20I don't buy your bullshit.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23Can we at least talk about your preconceptions of me?

0:19:23 > 0:19:24No.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27So, you're taking her word as gospel?

0:19:27 > 0:19:28I've no reason not to.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33Regina meant the poison for me. If not her, who did kill Milly?

0:19:33 > 0:19:36She went to Doris Collins, she doctored the tonic.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39And then the labels got mixed, that's what she said you'd say.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41All right, if not that, give me a theory.

0:19:44 > 0:19:46Well, here's what I know.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49You were the first one to suggest murder.

0:19:49 > 0:19:50"Look, I found a letter."

0:19:52 > 0:19:54You're covering up your mischief.

0:19:55 > 0:19:58So, you would rather think that I killed an innocent woman

0:19:58 > 0:20:02for some bizarre Communist plot than that Regina was out to harm me?

0:20:02 > 0:20:05- Yeah.- That's insane.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Spot on.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09I've seen plenty of killers.

0:20:09 > 0:20:10None like Mrs Bligh.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14You think this is funny?

0:20:14 > 0:20:16I've seen more than you, Sergeant.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18And they come in all shapes and sizes.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20Nazis, maybe.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25She gave me the goods on you.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28It's a shame she doesn't want me using it.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30Talk to Doris Collins.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33Regina visited her the day before it happened.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36Only crime there is laying yourself open to an ear bashing.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38- Check at least.- I will.

0:20:40 > 0:20:41I know what she'll say.

0:20:46 > 0:20:51If I hear you accusing Mrs Bligh again, all bets are off.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53Trust me.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58Is that it?

0:20:58 > 0:21:01Don't go feeding these kids your crazy commie propaganda.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14HORN BLARES

0:21:14 > 0:21:15Six months.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20They're asking a lot of you.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22At most.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24They may not want you now...

0:21:24 > 0:21:25I hope not.

0:21:27 > 0:21:28And if they do?

0:21:32 > 0:21:35- They won't.- But if they do?

0:21:40 > 0:21:42George does have a point about scandal.

0:21:45 > 0:21:46And baby Georgie?

0:21:49 > 0:21:53Scandal would blight all of our futures.

0:21:55 > 0:21:56And animosity.

0:21:59 > 0:22:03What's best for Georgie is what's right.

0:22:03 > 0:22:04Mm.

0:22:06 > 0:22:07We'll come through it.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13Nothing will come between us.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18That's all I needed to hear.

0:22:30 > 0:22:31Thank you.

0:22:32 > 0:22:34There's no need to rush.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36We've got our whole life ahead of us.

0:22:45 > 0:22:47Promise you won't do anything foolish.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53Right place, right time. He'll pay.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12Your carnal romps need curbing.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14We have impressionable young staff.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16If they can survive you, they can survive me.

0:23:16 > 0:23:18Tears this morning.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22Such turmoil everywhere.

0:23:22 > 0:23:26The police investigating Frau Nordmann as a Communist

0:23:26 > 0:23:28and Gino having female company.

0:23:30 > 0:23:32Sarah's no Red,

0:23:32 > 0:23:34Gino's certainly no philanderer.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58Yes, Mildred. I need a Sydney number.

0:23:58 > 0:23:59Sir Richard Bennett.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10Can you see that duck?

0:24:10 > 0:24:12Can you see Mr Ducky there?

0:24:36 > 0:24:38The doctor doesn't want you getting upset.

0:24:38 > 0:24:40Oh, I'm glad you told me.

0:24:42 > 0:24:43It's unimaginable.

0:24:44 > 0:24:48I accept her intentions, however misguided, were well meant.

0:24:50 > 0:24:51How are you feeling?

0:24:54 > 0:24:55Confused.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58And Georgie?

0:24:58 > 0:25:01- He's my boy. - But he's not blood, James.

0:25:01 > 0:25:03He's still my son.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06No-one's to say otherwise.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08And your love for him?

0:25:08 > 0:25:09Unchanged.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13I want him and Olivia at Ash Park.

0:25:16 > 0:25:18It allows us time to decide what's best.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22Well, then I think the three of you should return to Ash Park

0:25:22 > 0:25:24and resolve your futures

0:25:24 > 0:25:27whilst ensuring your father's political will.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29The issue of the inheritance must be clarified.

0:25:29 > 0:25:32In due course, George.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36In the meantime, my darling, you have a task.

0:26:37 > 0:26:38Hello, little man.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44- He's well.- He is.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47He's the innocent in this.

0:26:50 > 0:26:51Perhaps the only one.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56I have to ask,

0:26:56 > 0:26:59is there no hope for you and James?

0:26:59 > 0:27:00No.

0:27:01 > 0:27:02Then I accept...

0:27:05 > 0:27:06..with regret.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12I expected more severity.

0:27:13 > 0:27:16We're trying our best to understand.

0:27:16 > 0:27:18You know what bloodline means to us.

0:27:18 > 0:27:22James had been through hell. Having committed to the lie,

0:27:22 > 0:27:24- what was I supposed to...? - If your marriage had survived,

0:27:24 > 0:27:26would you have allowed Georgie to inherit?

0:27:27 > 0:27:30- Yes.- I see.

0:27:30 > 0:27:35He would have been the product of Bligh love and Bligh upbringing.

0:27:35 > 0:27:38That is more important than blood.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42I find your attitude antiquated.

0:27:43 > 0:27:44Perhaps.

0:27:47 > 0:27:48Perhaps.

0:27:52 > 0:27:55I've simply come here to ask you

0:27:55 > 0:27:58if you can accommodate my request,

0:27:58 > 0:28:00if not for me...

0:28:00 > 0:28:02think of yourselves.

0:28:04 > 0:28:07Would it be possible without rancour?

0:28:09 > 0:28:11With luck, it may bring healing.

0:28:14 > 0:28:17Give you a chance to plan Georgie's future.

0:28:22 > 0:28:24Yes.

0:28:28 > 0:28:29You'll come?

0:28:30 > 0:28:33For James. For Georgie.

0:28:34 > 0:28:37Not for the man who threatened to drag me into court.

0:28:39 > 0:28:41- I deserve that.- You do.

0:29:12 > 0:29:13Thank you.

0:29:20 > 0:29:23Excuse me, Miss. You're a Jew, right?

0:29:24 > 0:29:28Well, I converted to marry a Jewish man.

0:29:28 > 0:29:31- What's that mean? - I changed my religion.

0:29:31 > 0:29:33- Really? You can do that? - Yes, you can.

0:29:33 > 0:29:36Wouldn't that make God mad?

0:29:36 > 0:29:37I don't think so.

0:29:37 > 0:29:39But the Jews killed Jesus, right?

0:30:04 > 0:30:06I was being discreet not giving my name.

0:30:06 > 0:30:07Of course.

0:30:09 > 0:30:11It's good to hear your voice.

0:30:12 > 0:30:14Is everything all right? You're well?

0:30:14 > 0:30:16'Yes. Yes.'

0:30:16 > 0:30:19Well, my time here has not been without its problems.

0:30:21 > 0:30:23Mother appreciated your card.

0:30:23 > 0:30:25Well, I've been concerned. We all have.

0:30:25 > 0:30:27Well, she wouldn't be with us

0:30:27 > 0:30:29if she hadn't managed to pull down the telephone.

0:30:31 > 0:30:34I regret my bombastic approach at our last meeting.

0:30:36 > 0:30:38'My timing was poor.'

0:30:40 > 0:30:42It was. But I understand.

0:30:42 > 0:30:45I return next week. I have an important engagement,

0:30:45 > 0:30:48but when I'm done...

0:30:48 > 0:30:50'we'll speak?'

0:30:53 > 0:30:54I would like that.

0:30:58 > 0:31:00I hope you're well.

0:31:00 > 0:31:01Yes.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04And our mutual friend is thriving.

0:31:06 > 0:31:08Best not on the line.

0:31:08 > 0:31:10Of course.

0:31:10 > 0:31:11Good.

0:31:12 > 0:31:13Everything else?

0:31:16 > 0:31:20I just put my foot in it with one of the students here.

0:31:20 > 0:31:22But apart from that...

0:31:22 > 0:31:23Well, I won't keep you.

0:31:26 > 0:31:27I simply...

0:31:30 > 0:31:31I miss you.

0:31:33 > 0:31:35'Rightly or wrongly, I...'

0:31:35 > 0:31:36I had to say that.

0:31:39 > 0:31:41I'm glad you called.

0:31:41 > 0:31:42I feel better for it.

0:32:40 > 0:32:42He was two years above me at school.

0:32:42 > 0:32:45- Steamy nights in the dorm? - Sadly, no.

0:32:46 > 0:32:49- Henry! - Christopher!

0:32:49 > 0:32:51Come on in.

0:32:54 > 0:32:56I shouldn't have come.

0:32:56 > 0:32:57You need distraction.

0:32:58 > 0:33:00I'm not sure I need this.

0:33:01 > 0:33:03They're my friends.

0:33:03 > 0:33:05Your friends too, if you'll let them.

0:34:20 > 0:34:22Even when I'm abandoning you?

0:34:22 > 0:34:23Ah, only for a time.

0:34:33 > 0:34:34I've had a thought.

0:34:35 > 0:34:38Rather than my mooching here, just waiting for the time to be over,

0:34:38 > 0:34:40why don't I go on ahead?

0:34:41 > 0:34:42To England?

0:34:42 > 0:34:45I mean, you could arrange introductions,

0:34:45 > 0:34:48see I'm well part of society.

0:34:48 > 0:34:51Perhaps even with commissions.

0:34:52 > 0:34:55And by the time we face your family, I would be...

0:34:55 > 0:34:57much more acceptable.

0:34:58 > 0:35:01Oh, it does make sense.

0:35:01 > 0:35:04Unless you'll need my support?

0:35:04 > 0:35:05No.

0:35:07 > 0:35:10No, it would stop me worrying about you, in fact.

0:35:10 > 0:35:15- Good.- And it is a show of faith in what's to come.- Exactly.

0:35:15 > 0:35:19I will be the darling of the Mayfair set in no time.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21I rather like that.

0:35:21 > 0:35:22All the bright young things.

0:35:22 > 0:35:25Yes, it would be like living a novel by Evelyn Waugh.

0:35:34 > 0:35:38I am rather funds depleted, however.

0:35:38 > 0:35:40- I'm not.- No, no, no, I couldn't possibly...

0:35:40 > 0:35:42Don't be silly.

0:35:42 > 0:35:43Of course I'll pay.

0:35:44 > 0:35:47The more I consider it, the more it's sold.

0:35:53 > 0:35:54Henry, Henry!

0:36:08 > 0:36:09I'm sorry.

0:36:09 > 0:36:11This makes you uncomfortable.

0:36:11 > 0:36:13I'm just not used to it.

0:36:15 > 0:36:18It's just playfulness. It's not sexuality.

0:36:20 > 0:36:23Four nearly naked men falling on top of each other.

0:36:23 > 0:36:24We can control ourselves.

0:36:26 > 0:36:28Honestly, the myth of the salivating predator.

0:36:31 > 0:36:33I'm on my soapbox. I apologise.

0:36:34 > 0:36:36No, please.

0:37:42 > 0:37:45What are you on about?

0:37:47 > 0:37:50Ah, it's knocked the election off the front page, that's for sure.

0:38:15 > 0:38:18Oh, yes. Leticia Borgia, I know her well.

0:41:01 > 0:41:04So fortuitous to have you with us, Dicky.

0:41:23 > 0:41:26Mr Menzies and Dame Patty are in Sydney next week...

0:41:28 > 0:41:29..with time to spare.

0:41:29 > 0:41:31This close to the election, I doubt it.

0:41:31 > 0:41:34An event was cancelled.

0:41:34 > 0:41:36Let's invite them down for dinner.

0:41:36 > 0:41:38- We can't do that.- Why not?

0:41:38 > 0:41:40The protocol. The distance.

0:41:40 > 0:41:43Well, if it's inconvenient, they'll simply decline.

0:41:43 > 0:41:46Nothing ventured, nothing win, I say.

0:41:46 > 0:41:48She's a bloody marvel, your wife.

0:41:48 > 0:41:51Vote for the man who had the PM at his table.

0:41:51 > 0:41:54- I'm not being overly ambitious, then?- Oh, no such thing.

0:41:55 > 0:41:58Let's see what we can manage, George.

0:41:58 > 0:42:01Ladies. He chose well, your son.

0:42:02 > 0:42:06I'll be here in the morning to see you discharged.

0:42:06 > 0:42:08- We'll meet for dinner. - I'll make the arrangements.

0:42:08 > 0:42:10Well, thank her, man.

0:42:12 > 0:42:14Thank you for thinking of my campaign.

0:42:14 > 0:42:16Of you.

0:42:16 > 0:42:17A kiss wouldn't kill you.

0:42:23 > 0:42:27I should bloody think so, that sort of thing is gold with the voters.

0:42:36 > 0:42:40It's such a shame your health prevents your attending.

0:42:40 > 0:42:42- Well, if it happens.- It will.

0:42:44 > 0:42:46As I say, pity you're infirm.

0:42:59 > 0:43:01RINGS BELL Nurse.

0:43:08 > 0:43:10Trouble is only really trouble...

0:43:12 > 0:43:14..if no good comes of it.

0:43:17 > 0:43:20We've both been circling around this for too long.

0:43:22 > 0:43:24The whole marriage business.

0:43:25 > 0:43:27You know, where would we live, how is it going to work,

0:43:27 > 0:43:29this, that, the other?

0:43:32 > 0:43:36You know what last night and today prove?

0:43:36 > 0:43:37What?

0:43:38 > 0:43:39The mongrel can't hurt us.

0:43:44 > 0:43:47And you like watching me work. That's marriage talk to me.

0:43:55 > 0:43:57Let's set a date.

0:43:59 > 0:44:02After the election, so we don't steal George's thunder.

0:44:05 > 0:44:06Husband and wife.

0:44:09 > 0:44:11All the rest will happen in time.

0:44:20 > 0:44:21Yes?

0:44:22 > 0:44:24- Yes.- Yes.

0:44:24 > 0:44:26- Yes.- Oh!

0:44:26 > 0:44:28THEY LAUGH

0:44:42 > 0:44:48SHE SPEAKS IN OWN LANGUAGE

0:44:49 > 0:44:51KNOCK ON DOOR

0:44:51 > 0:44:55Just set up a couple of cold ones on the veranda.

0:44:57 > 0:44:59- Sorry.- It's fine.

0:45:01 > 0:45:02Having a bit of a chat, eh?

0:45:03 > 0:45:06Sometimes it helps to feel he's near.

0:45:07 > 0:45:09Well, it's there when you want it.

0:45:12 > 0:45:15That copper Taylor get what he was after?

0:45:15 > 0:45:18He's more obnoxious than Franklin ever was.

0:45:18 > 0:45:22I'm in your corner, you know that, if that helps.

0:45:22 > 0:45:23My hero.

0:45:24 > 0:45:26Any time.

0:45:31 > 0:45:33Actually, it might help.

0:45:35 > 0:45:37He'll never make a case against you.

0:45:37 > 0:45:40Or Regina, sadly, even if he was inclined.

0:45:43 > 0:45:47- This stuff that she's got on you... - Deeply private.

0:45:52 > 0:45:54But as much as I'd prefer no-one knew,

0:45:54 > 0:45:57she will could tell the world if it meant seeing her charged.

0:45:57 > 0:45:59But it won't.

0:46:00 > 0:46:04Not without a lot more than supposition against her.

0:46:04 > 0:46:05So, what can you do?

0:46:08 > 0:46:10Back off.

0:46:10 > 0:46:11Let her think she's safe.

0:46:11 > 0:46:12And then?

0:46:14 > 0:46:16Call in the heavy artillery.

0:46:40 > 0:46:43- Done?- And dusted. - Thank you for your assistance.

0:46:43 > 0:46:44It was a grand idea.

0:46:44 > 0:46:46Old Lizzie looked like she'd sucked on a lemon.

0:46:46 > 0:46:50I'll deliver her an entire citrus orchard before I'm done.

0:46:50 > 0:46:52Hopefully it will promote another attack?

0:46:52 > 0:46:54Remind me never to cross you.

0:46:54 > 0:46:57You should go. We don't want George suspecting collusion.

0:46:57 > 0:46:58It's for his own benefit.

0:46:58 > 0:47:02Well, he's best left to the illusion of being at the wheel.

0:47:03 > 0:47:06This answers one question.

0:47:06 > 0:47:08I always wondered how someone piss-weak like Charles

0:47:08 > 0:47:10ever made a mark.

0:47:10 > 0:47:13- Well, behind every good man... - Is a bad woman.

0:47:14 > 0:47:16Bad in a good way.

0:47:19 > 0:47:20Of course.

0:47:22 > 0:47:24She's so hideous.

0:47:24 > 0:47:27How can Father marry someone like that?

0:47:27 > 0:47:28- Can't he see through that mask? - CLINKING

0:47:28 > 0:47:30Shush.

0:47:31 > 0:47:33Ah, thank you.

0:47:36 > 0:47:37Very good.

0:47:39 > 0:47:42Well, he can see through the mask but others can't.

0:47:42 > 0:47:46And she may well have secured George's election with this dinner.

0:47:46 > 0:47:48Her mask is well in place.

0:47:48 > 0:47:50Let's go back tomorrow, then.

0:47:50 > 0:47:52Help to loosen it.

0:47:52 > 0:47:53ELIZABETH CHUCKLES

0:47:53 > 0:47:55Tempting but not yet.

0:47:56 > 0:47:58Soon.

0:47:59 > 0:48:00Timing, my darling.

0:48:02 > 0:48:03Timing is everything.

0:48:03 > 0:48:09RECORD PLAYER: # When I look in your eyes

0:48:09 > 0:48:13# I see brand-new tomorrows

0:48:13 > 0:48:16# Filled with pink salmon skies

0:48:16 > 0:48:20# With no trouble or sorrows

0:48:20 > 0:48:22# When you're wrapped in my arms

0:48:22 > 0:48:26# Feel how strongly my heart beats

0:48:26 > 0:48:29# Beating only for you

0:48:29 > 0:48:33# Two lovers complete

0:48:33 > 0:48:35# Whispered words in the wind... #

0:48:35 > 0:48:37Is there anything else I can get you, miss?

0:48:37 > 0:48:39SHE GASPS Oh, Rose.

0:48:39 > 0:48:42Er, no. That will be all, thank you.

0:48:43 > 0:48:45What's this song called, miss?

0:48:46 > 0:48:49- The Beauty Of Love.- Oh.

0:48:49 > 0:48:51Would you take it off, please?

0:48:51 > 0:48:53- Yes, miss. - MUSIC STOPS

0:48:55 > 0:48:58- Goodnight, Rose. - Buona notte, miss.

0:49:20 > 0:49:22You mustn't be cross.

0:49:22 > 0:49:24I'd come to check with you but there was Sir Richard.

0:49:24 > 0:49:27My enthusiasm got the better of me.

0:49:27 > 0:49:30Thankfully, it's all come together.

0:49:30 > 0:49:32- We have them?- Wednesday next.

0:49:32 > 0:49:34Oh, George.

0:49:34 > 0:49:36- A triumph.- It is.

0:49:36 > 0:49:38Your success is my success.

0:49:45 > 0:49:48We may only be a political partnership,

0:49:48 > 0:49:50but what a formidable one we shall be.

0:49:51 > 0:49:52Champagne.

0:49:56 > 0:49:58DOG WHINES AND BARKS

0:49:58 > 0:50:00Sit down, you silly mongrel.

0:50:00 > 0:50:02DOG CONTINUES TO BARK

0:50:08 > 0:50:10DOOR OPENS

0:50:13 > 0:50:16- What do you want? - I've got no quarrel with you.

0:50:16 > 0:50:17And you shouldn't have with her, neither.

0:50:17 > 0:50:19What can I do for you, Sergeant?

0:50:21 > 0:50:24When you've got one unsolved case,

0:50:24 > 0:50:27you dig through the rest, look for patterns.

0:50:27 > 0:50:28I found one.

0:50:29 > 0:50:31A Bert Ford.

0:50:32 > 0:50:35Headed off, they say, but no-one's seen him.

0:50:35 > 0:50:36Wasn't a friend of yours.

0:50:39 > 0:50:42His mate reckons you slapped him down.

0:50:42 > 0:50:43And not girlie either.

0:50:43 > 0:50:46I had no cause to like him.

0:50:46 > 0:50:48- Any to get rid of him? - Now, listen here, Sergeant...

0:50:48 > 0:50:52No-one goes missing without a reason.

0:50:52 > 0:50:53And people are unlucky around you.

0:50:53 > 0:50:56If you're asking if I killed Bert Ford, no.

0:50:57 > 0:50:59Maybe Mrs Bligh knocked him off as well, eh?

0:50:59 > 0:51:01Open your eyes, son.

0:51:01 > 0:51:03My money's on the Commie Yid for both of them.

0:51:03 > 0:51:07- Cop or no cop, I'm going to deck you right now.- Roy. Roy!

0:51:07 > 0:51:08I am Jewish.

0:51:09 > 0:51:13And my politics are left-wing and I'm proud of both.

0:51:13 > 0:51:17Now, get out and don't come back unless you have an arrest warrant.

0:51:17 > 0:51:19You heard her.

0:51:26 > 0:51:28You've backed the wrong horse, mate.

0:51:29 > 0:51:32Better than a bob each way on a mongrel.

0:51:32 > 0:51:34DOG BARKS

0:51:43 > 0:51:44Bert Ford.
