0:00:02 > 0:00:04- You remember Harry?- Hello, James.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07There's just one little thing I need you to do for me.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10Could you teach me Italian? I could pay you.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13I trust Geno appreciated our gesture?
0:00:13 > 0:00:15He's told me a few words already.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17And Geno, having female company...
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Give me a kiss.
0:00:19 > 0:00:24He's made me feel cheap and disgusting and unworthy.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Hey, let's set a date. Husband and wife.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Yes.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29SHE LAUGHS
0:00:29 > 0:00:33Mr Menzies and Dame Pattie are in Sydney next week.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Let's invite them down for dinner.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37'Vote for the man who had the PM at his table.'
0:00:37 > 0:00:41- We have them. - Thankfully, it's all come together.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Oh, George! Oh, your success is my success.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48She may well have secured George's election with this dinner.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Let's go back tomorrow, then.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Timing, my darling.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53Timing is everything.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55James isn't Georgie's father.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- But you said... - I didn't give birth to him.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00I did do it for love.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02I'm not angry.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04What do you want?
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Your return to Ash Park.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- You will come?- For James.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10For Georgie.
0:01:10 > 0:01:15It gives me leverage in silencing her. Please. Just between us.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Thanks for this.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22It helps to know.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24She gave me the goods on you.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Don't go feeding these kids your crazy commie propaganda.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- Now, listen here, Sergeant...- No-one goes missing without a reason.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35If you're asking if I killed Bert Ford, no.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39- OVERLAPPING SHOUTING Just shut up!- Please!
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Martin, what have you done?!
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Bert Ford.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59NEWS INTRO PLAYS
0:02:03 > 0:02:06A statement made in the House of Representatives in Canberra
0:02:06 > 0:02:08by the Prime Minister Robert Menzies
0:02:08 > 0:02:11gave first details of a Soviet spy ring in Australia.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Vladimir Petrov, an official of the Russian Embassy,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17whose home is in Canberra, had told the full story.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19At Kingswood Smith Airport in Sydney,
0:02:19 > 0:02:23crowds gathered to watch Petrov's wife leave for Russia.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Australian security officers keep careful check,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27for disturbances are likely.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Two couriers sent from Moscow, both of them armed,
0:02:30 > 0:02:33and an embassy official, hustle Mrs Petrov to the plane.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Make it two?
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Please.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Every time I close my eyes, I see Bert Ford's body popping up.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10That's unlikely, given how we weighed him down.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Well, we've got nothing to worry about, then, have we?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Unless they question Eve.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- Where is she now? - Redfern, last time she wrote.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Maybe we should talk to her before the cops do.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27I'll call this weekend.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30I'll drive you. We're in this together.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- Thanks, Roy.- A moment, Mr Briggs.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51You'll need a ride home.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54I hope you understand. I don't have much choice, I'm afraid.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01They don't want us stuffing their heads full of rubbish?
0:04:01 > 0:04:03It's about ten of the parents, I'm sorry.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05It's because you got Mr Poletti to come here.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09To talk about Italy? I was trying to broaden their horizons.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12They prefer someone who will stick to the three Rs.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Fine. If that's what they want.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16It's only until the new teacher starts.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19But the trouble is, it's not only them.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Reverend Green.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23Oh.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I was asked a direct question about being Jewish.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33- I answered frankly.- Reverend Green says you talked about converting.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- I said conversion is possible. - And that the Jews didn't kill Jesus.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Crucifixion was a Roman execution! The Jews favoured stoning!
0:04:40 > 0:04:42METAL CREAKS
0:04:43 > 0:04:46I don't know any of that. All I know is...
0:04:47 > 0:04:48I appreciate the help,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51but Reverend Green's offered his wife to come, so...
0:04:53 > 0:04:56I'm sorry if I've made things awkward.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57That's OK.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Tread careful.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05I know you mean no harm. There are some saying different.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- Sergeant Taylor?- Just...some.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24What's up?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Let's go to Sydney.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35I can go back on the roster if you need me,
0:05:35 > 0:05:37but there's something I'd like to do.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39No, go.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42What's the bet Sergeant Taylor has been stirring things up?
0:05:44 > 0:05:45I know.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Doctor, one moment. I hear alarming problems.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Mrs Nordmann banished for sacrilege?
0:05:57 > 0:05:58I cannot believe it.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02- Then don't be spreading it.- As the possible target of innuendo myself,
0:06:02 > 0:06:06I sympathise. The word "Red" is being used.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12How's about helping me calm things down?
0:06:12 > 0:06:13What?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Come on.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21SHE SIGHS
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Be it ever so garish.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Ash Park is always home if you're not comfortable here.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Oh, thank you, George, I may avail myself of that.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Tea, I think.- Father?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Er, no, I should catch up with Regina before she returns
0:06:39 > 0:06:41to prepare for the Prime Minister.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44You, let me know how your meeting goes.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45I can return, if you wish.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Oh, James is dropping by, while Anna's at her publisher's.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- I shall be well attended. - As you should be.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58George, um, a request.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Of course.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Regina is privy to enough family business.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05It's not required that she know about Georgie.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- I agree.- Oh, good.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12And, despite everything, she has proven her worth, hasn't she?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16The Prime Minister is a coup.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17But I will keep an eye on her.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23You are familiar with the expression about dogs and fleas?
0:07:25 > 0:07:29If you see me scratching, you, er...you let me know.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Congratulations, Mama! Does Anna know?
0:07:35 > 0:07:39I want to see her face when I tell her, and Mother's.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Are you going up?- Later today.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- Five weeks isn't much time. - We're keeping it simple.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Just close locals and a few Sydney friends.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- And not at Ash Park.- Really?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52That way, Regina doesn't have to be invited.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Bravissimo, Mama. So, where will it be?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Here? If you agree? A simple, rustic affair.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- Of course! We'd love to, Mama. - Thank you!
0:08:05 > 0:08:07One thing, before I go.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- Rose.- Rose?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11At the risk of spoiling the mood, have you been seeing her?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I'm suggesting nothing.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16She brought over some food, I'm teaching her Italian.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18- That's all?- Yes.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22I think Regina's encouraging it.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24She's implied you're having an affair.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25No.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Rose is an innocent party, I think.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32She's fooled me if she's not.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Defuse it by telling her now, then there'll be no misunderstanding.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Should I say anything to Rose?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Not yet. Feel free to tackle madam though.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- Woohoo?- Doris.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47I come...seeking signatures.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Hmm?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Oh, good morning, ma'am. We've missed you.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01GEORGIE GURGLES Look!
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Look who it is, Georgie.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05- It's Rose.- He's grown.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07You have, haven't you?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Would you mind?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11GEORGIE WAILS
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- Uh-oh!- Exactly.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Well, I'll get him all changed and sweet smelling and bring him to you.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Hey!
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Georgie!
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Yes! Yes!
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Did you speak to Olivia before she left?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47We'll deal with matters at Ash Park.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I'm giving her some time to settle back in.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51I was hoping I'd see her.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53She's been through a rather emotional time.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- And I imagine she feels your disapproval.- Oh, dear.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03She's unaware of your new view of life.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05SHE CHUCKLES No more interference.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Another?- Then I must go.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Henry's reaction to this faux reconciliation?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17I assume he's not causing ructions?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19He's not like that.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20I thought as much.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23We have had a disagreement.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- But on another matter entirely. - Which you'll resolve?
0:10:29 > 0:10:30I trust so.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Embracing happiness has its problems.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37All change does.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Now...
0:10:42 > 0:10:45..is it wrong of me to think...
0:10:45 > 0:10:48of voting against your father at the election?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50HE GULPS
0:10:50 > 0:10:54He'd have no need for a politician's wife if he fails to enter politics.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56They're just married!
0:10:56 > 0:10:59As much an expediency as yours and Olivia's.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02I will sigh with relief the day they part.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- You think he'd divorce her? - George Bligh? Yes.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11The Honourable George Bligh MP, probably not.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13So, I repeat, should I vote for him?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18The day you vote for Labour, the world will tilt on its axis.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20SHE LAUGHS
0:11:20 > 0:11:22As it did the day they married.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Here's trouble.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Will I run her off the road?
0:11:52 > 0:11:53She'll keep.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04'You know I love you.'
0:12:08 > 0:12:09Show me.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22I don't want to just be pretending.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26I love you, James.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31'I know you do.' FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
0:12:31 > 0:12:32All spick and span.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Georgie's been crying a lot lately.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38I don't want him disturbing the household.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39Put my things in the cottage.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41I love you.
0:13:51 > 0:13:5347, 45...
0:13:55 > 0:13:57He's down there somewhere.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Bugger.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13FRONT DOOR OPENS
0:14:14 > 0:14:17And what's transpired in my absence?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Miss Olivia's back. She's moved into the cottage.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Oh, has she now?
0:14:20 > 0:14:24- And Miss Carolyn's about to head home.- Olivia in, Carolyn out.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Infinitely preferable.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- And Gino?- He likes my visits.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Excellent.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Gather the staff.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34The Prime Minister dines this Wednesday.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44I remember Brian Taylor as a little boy.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Many a cat fell foul of his slingshot.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49I feared for my Tiddles.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Only you, Doris.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- You wanted to see me? - Oh, glad you could make it.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Sergeant.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- What's the trouble?- No trouble.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12I have something for you, Sergeant.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16It's easy to get sidetracked by minority opinions.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22- What's this for?- It's expressions of support for Sister Nordmann,
0:15:22 > 0:15:24just the tip of the iceberg.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Word's got out to people you're harassing her.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- I wonder how that happened. - Small towns.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Lots of anger at her being turfed out of the school.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Seems I'm in agreement with a lot of folks on that one.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38A few malcontents.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41More than a few slaps on the back at the pub last night.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44I don't need my best nurse's reputation damaged.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46There's the town's true feeling.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48And more to come.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53You Red, too?
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Or just stupid enough to let her fool you?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58That's how they work, you know?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00They get you bleeding hearts on side.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Just decent people, banding together.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07Decent? That what they call abortionists these days?
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Well, so much for the soft approach.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Clearly, you're the bully they say you are.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Suspended for beating a Unionist... almost to death.
0:16:25 > 0:16:30Demoted by being transferred here. Yeah, I made a few inquiries.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35I'll enjoy seeing you charged.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41However many slaps you get at the pub...
0:16:42 > 0:16:45..trust me, there's a hell of a lot more behind her.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52DOOR SLAMS
0:17:03 > 0:17:05DOOR OPENS
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Movement at the station.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Er, it might be best if I see her alone.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24Righto.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37KNOCK ON DOOR
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Sister Adams... Sorry, Sister Nordmann, I forgot.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Don't tell me they're on at you, too?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57HE SIGHS
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- Are you sure you don't want a cuppa? It's no fuss.- I'm all right, really.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09Why's it all come up again now?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14I didn't say nothing.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Good.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18They went on at me.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Asked me if I thought you'd done Bert in.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25I've run foul of the new local Sergeant.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27He's out to cause trouble.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34What you and Mr Briggs did for us, I'd never say a word to harm you.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39How is Colin?
0:18:41 > 0:18:45His teachers reckon he's got the makings of a scholarship boy.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48That justifies every choice we made, then.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51I told the cops any notion you'd hurt Bert's a load of bullshine!
0:18:51 > 0:18:52Thank you.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Said he'd done a bunk, and who knows where?
0:18:55 > 0:18:58And that's what I'll be sticking to.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03Oh, as long as everything's worked out and you're both happy now.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04Very.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Well, except...
0:19:09 > 0:19:10..shame on the family.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Terrible it was. But you reap what you sow.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18I'm sorry, Sister, but you do!
0:19:20 > 0:19:21FRONT DOOR OPENS
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- Thank you.- You too.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Strife?
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- No, we're fine. - What's the matter, then?
0:19:47 > 0:19:48It's nothing to do with Bert.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52But there's another stop to make.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12They did a real job on him.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- He was set upon? - Homo-bashed, in a laneway.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20The sort of place his type do their filth.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Is he expected to recover?
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Yeah.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31I'll be making alternative arrangements as soon as possible.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- Why? Are you family?- Yes.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35It's all right, Harry.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37HE MURMURS It's Sarah.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Sister Adams? - You're safe now.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46BUZZ OF CONVERSATION
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- I took in a flick last night. - With whom?- Alone.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52I was trying to brush out my funk.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Well, Audrey Hepburn's guaranteed to help.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Better than Beneath The 12 Mile Reef.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Robert Wagner? Rather dishy.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I wish you wouldn't.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06The feminine tone. It's another thing I disliked yesterday.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- LOW-PITCHED:- Yes, James.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10I apologise.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Thank you.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15THEY LAUGH SOFTLY
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Are you sure this is wise, two men together?
0:21:18 > 0:21:22It's a matinee, it's less obvious. Besides, I come prepared.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Ah! More introductions. Ladies.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- James Bligh, Daphne Morris, Grace Styles.- Hi.- Hello.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32James was questioning the wisdom of our date at the movies.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Well, I bags Henry.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36James, you're all mine.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39We're cheering him up before he heads back to the country.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42Thanks, duckie.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46NEWSREEL PLAYS
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Daphne and I met at school.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Poor Mummy's still filling my hope chest.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52Hope-less.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56You know how to pick 'em, Henry. He's so pretty.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- You said to cheer him up. - Move your bum, Daph.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02Thank you.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Two couples together.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Who's to know how we pair off later. Right, girls.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Abso-bloody-lutely.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- The art of survival. - Ah, the boy's getting it.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21NEWSREEL: 'You'll meet them on any beach right round Australia's
0:22:21 > 0:22:24'13,000 miles of coastline. Members of the Australian...'
0:22:24 > 0:22:27(No-one can see.)
0:22:27 > 0:22:32'He must study anatomy. Not the type seen in snappy costumes. This kind.'
0:22:38 > 0:22:41So, Richard's introduction was a great help.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Oh, be sure to send him a note of thanks.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48It is not a contract, it's just the terms that they're offering.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50How thrilling! SHE LAUGHS
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Can you believe they knew about that run-in I had?
0:22:53 > 0:22:57- They will be expecting a work of considerable fire, then!- Ha!
0:22:57 > 0:23:00What subject do you propose?
0:23:00 > 0:23:02It's set in the '30s.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06There's a woman, a young woman, in love with a man outside her class.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08She falls pregnant and has to give their baby away
0:23:08 > 0:23:11for fear it will cause repercussions...
0:23:11 > 0:23:13with his benefactress.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Have you discussed this with your mother and papa?
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- It's a really good story. - That's not the issue, Anna.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27A roman-a-clef inevitably risks offending or causing pain.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Stories taken from life, they have a certain air of truth.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34And they often do the real-life people a disservice.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36I will try to be fair.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40Naturally.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42To you, especially.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44SHE CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Few of us like a mirror held up to our actions.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50I'll only write it if you all agree.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Well, I have been examining many of my past actions
0:23:57 > 0:24:00and attitudes, of late, as you're aware.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- Perhaps your novel will help me to forgive myself.- Grandmother!
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Do not shy away from the truth, darling.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14But do treat a reformed woman kindly.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- They're both great fun. - Oh, he approves!
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Yesterday was different.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32I find it interesting that you're more comfortable with that charade,
0:24:32 > 0:24:35than you are with a group of men being themselves.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Well, I'm used to charades - lived one my whole life.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41And about to continue doing so.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44And I support you... and whatever you think best.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51What are you doing?
0:24:52 > 0:24:56- Holding hands at the pictures has a certain effect.- Oh?- Uh-huh.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05- And I only have you until tomorrow. - I wasted all that time with Audrey.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Audrey the Peacemaker.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10We'd have argued if you'd come straight back.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19- I miss you.- And I you.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27I love you.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Never heard that from a man.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42- What of his brother? - We never used the word.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46But it's how you felt?
0:25:57 > 0:25:59It's how I feel.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Another time perhaps.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15Perhaps.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Are you sure you're up to this?
0:26:19 > 0:26:23It does feel like a return to prison.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25But I will adjust.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28There's love enough remaining, I hope, to make it tolerable.
0:26:28 > 0:26:33And it gives time for proper discussions of Georgie.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34And Lloyd?
0:26:36 > 0:26:42Lloyd brought my body to life and that is what I shall sorely miss.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43THEY LAUGH
0:26:43 > 0:26:47Oh, thank heavens there is someone I can speak frankly to!
0:26:47 > 0:26:49I'll take that as a compliment.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53I'll be coming and going and only ever a telephone call away.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57You don't think I'm doing wrong in sleeping here?
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Whatever makes it tolerable.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06To depart on a brighter note, news of a romantic nature is forthcoming.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10- How mysterious.- As soon as the city contingent is informed.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13No?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16If you're thinking what I think you're thinking, yes.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- SHE GASPS - Congratulations!
0:27:19 > 0:27:22But mum's the word until Mum's been told.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25A charming tableau.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27(Watch what you share with her.)
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- I must be going. - Don't let me delay you.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- I shall return.- As MacArthur said, and look how that turned out.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40George and I are so grateful.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46And we will find explanation for any choice of bed.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Your presence is essential for my night of triumph.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02You've never been tempted to say it to a man?
0:28:09 > 0:28:11You must know.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13Of course.
0:28:20 > 0:28:21No.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31The Prime Minister's retinue arrives late afternoon.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35George will show him the property, then drinks and an early dinner,
0:28:35 > 0:28:37allowing time for the return journey.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39We're rather being squeezed in.
0:28:40 > 0:28:45You'll be contacted through the Prime Minister's office with the exact schedule.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48I feel very honoured. Anything you need?
0:28:48 > 0:28:52I suspect a crowd at the gates. Make sure it's vetted.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54We don't want any left-wing outbursts.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57- They'll be none of that.- Good.
0:28:57 > 0:28:58CLOCK STRIKES
0:29:00 > 0:29:02You're becoming quite indispensable.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05And our particular communist?
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Smug as they come.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10There'd be fewer behind her if they knew these facts.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12That really is between us.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16Best kept in reserve until your case is made.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20All I need is one good witness, or her dropping her guard.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Until then, let's see her gone.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27I would certainly breathe easier.
0:29:28 > 0:29:29Consider it done.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33You've no cause for fear, ma'am.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35You are a great comfort.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38KNOCK ON DOOR Yes?
0:29:39 > 0:29:40Mr Poletti, ma'am.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42SHE SIGHS
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Give us a moment and then show him in.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50- Nordmann had him at the school talking to the kids.- Hmm!
0:29:50 > 0:29:55And so, with honeyed voice, the evil mind persuades the mob.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59What's Italian for policeman?
0:29:59 > 0:30:04- Carabinieri. Or Poliziotto. - DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES
0:30:04 > 0:30:08I saw your name on the list. You'll save me a lot of trouble.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12What does that mean?
0:30:12 > 0:30:13Come on.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17KNOCK ON DOOR
0:30:21 > 0:30:23I told you not required.
0:30:23 > 0:30:28She's part of it. Anna wants me to thank you both.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30For?
0:30:30 > 0:30:31Rose looking after me.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Well, you had something to do with it, no?
0:30:34 > 0:30:38- If Rose took it upon herself... - Er, she said you didn't.
0:30:38 > 0:30:39But I'm the guest, hmm?
0:30:41 > 0:30:45She wants you both to know she doesn't believe the rumours.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- What rumours?- Oh, there's some real gossipy types around here?
0:30:50 > 0:30:53But it doesn't change anything.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55We still want Rose to come over for lessons.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58- People are saying things about us? - I guess.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01They're all liars anyway.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08Anna said to come for dinner as soon as she's back.
0:31:08 > 0:31:09She wants to thank you personally.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14No need for you to bother.
0:31:16 > 0:31:17Ladies.
0:31:21 > 0:31:22DOOR CLOSES
0:31:22 > 0:31:25- Who would say things like that...? - How should I know?!

0:32:43 > 0:32:45I thought you'd have said by now.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49That visit to Sydney, the hospital, was that to see the old girl?
0:32:49 > 0:32:53- Elizabeth?- You thinking of dragging her in on this Regina business?
0:32:53 > 0:32:55I'd prefer not to, but I may.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58- So it wasn't her, then? - She's out of hospital.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Righto. None of my beeswax.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06How are you going with the clearing?
0:33:06 > 0:33:09- Are you sure you're up to it on your own?- Why?
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Well, you ever thought about hiring help?
0:33:13 > 0:33:16When you're ready to say who, I'll give 'em a go.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Not that I think it's got anything to do with that hospital visit.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29You find Sir Richard's company so distasteful,
0:33:29 > 0:33:32you'd miss my skewering of Regina?
0:33:33 > 0:33:35You can tell me all about it.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Well, he's no favourite of mine either,
0:33:39 > 0:33:42but I...I don't understand the exact nature of your problems.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45- I've explained many times. - In vague terms.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51- So you're definitely not coming?- No.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56There's something you're not saying.
0:33:56 > 0:34:01- Mother!- You are the ebullient bride-to-be on the surface,
0:34:01 > 0:34:05but your smile fades too easily, especially when he's mentioned.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09- What has he done?- Nothing!
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Has he behaved inappropriately towards you?
0:34:16 > 0:34:18He made a clumsy pass, that's all.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Recently?
0:34:21 > 0:34:26- I slapped his face. - Hard, I trust?- Yes.- Good.
0:34:26 > 0:34:27SHE SIGHS
0:34:27 > 0:34:31- I might take issue with him when I see him tonight.- No!
0:34:31 > 0:34:32Please.
0:34:38 > 0:34:39Was it...
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Was it just a pass?
0:34:44 > 0:34:45Yes.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49- And the slap deterred him?- Yes!
0:34:50 > 0:34:55- Carolyn, that doesn't make... - Mum, please, just...let it be!
0:34:57 > 0:35:00If I find he has hurt you...
0:35:00 > 0:35:02in any way...
0:35:02 > 0:35:05well, a slap would be the least of his concerns!
0:35:10 > 0:35:11What did he do?
0:35:11 > 0:35:13SHE SOBS
0:35:18 > 0:35:20- What?- He...
0:35:21 > 0:35:22Oh!
0:35:25 > 0:35:28Oh, you should have told me. Oh, darling!
0:35:33 > 0:35:35SHE SOBS
0:35:39 > 0:35:40Oh, you poor girl.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42SOBBING CONTINUES

0:35:50 > 0:35:52GEORGIE GIGGLES
0:35:58 > 0:36:00- Hello.- Hello.
0:36:04 > 0:36:05Hello, cheeky monkey!
0:36:08 > 0:36:10You're my cheeky monkey, aren't you?
0:36:12 > 0:36:14How are you feeling about him?
0:36:18 > 0:36:20We both love him and that's the problem.
0:36:22 > 0:36:23Yes.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Are you up to tonight?
0:36:29 > 0:36:34Duping the Prime Minister? It almost feels like espionage.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35THEY LAUGH
0:36:39 > 0:36:40It's good to smile.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Smiles help.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51GEORGIE WHIMPERS
0:36:53 > 0:36:55James?
0:36:58 > 0:37:01I hope to make my way back into the house.
0:37:03 > 0:37:04If you can.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Let me know when the other rooms are done.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Me, seeing the Prime Minister, I can't believe it.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20You'll see a lot more in Canberra!
0:37:20 > 0:37:23I have some business in town, I'll pick up those new posters.
0:37:23 > 0:37:24That will be all.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28- And I'll be taking lunch at Anna's. - Anna's? How?
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Set two extra places for tonight.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Anna and...Gino?!
0:37:32 > 0:37:34You can't be serious.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- Perfectly.- We are entertaining the Prime Minister!
0:37:37 > 0:37:40An Italian farmer is hardly appropriate!
0:37:40 > 0:37:44- I'll ignore that. - I'm...I'm thinking of him.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47- He can't but feel out of his depth. - He may surprise you.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49- George...- Do it!
0:37:50 > 0:37:51Please.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09- Mrs Collins! - An exciting day, Mr Blyth!
0:38:09 > 0:38:12Mr Menzies isn't arriving for a good few hours.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15- I wish to secure a prime position. - You're expecting crowds?
0:38:15 > 0:38:20- The Prime Minister amongst us? Indeed, indeed!- We'll see.
0:38:20 > 0:38:27No, Mr Bligh, HE will see that Inverness is behind you 100%.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- I trust you're right.- I know I am.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39- Yep?- Have you got a moment?
0:38:39 > 0:38:41Ah, good.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46I've just had another person telephone
0:38:46 > 0:38:50to tell me Sergeant Taylor questioned them...about you.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52It seems he's checking in
0:38:52 > 0:38:54with anyone on your rounds the day that Milly died.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57He'll keep. I need your help with something else.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01- Sure.- It won't make us popular with Ash Park.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09- How did you come across him? - That's unimportant.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12It's taken till now for him to be up to the journey.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15- And you want him here? - Well, the private room's free.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19- Yeah, which would lower the chances of Ash Park getting wind of it.- Yes!
0:39:19 > 0:39:23He was beaten to within an inch of his life.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26- There's no-one to care for him in Sydney!- What about his sisters?
0:39:26 > 0:39:30Naomi's in service and Eve rejects him.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32He can recover here without any stigma attached to him.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37I doubt George will thank you.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Elizabeth certainly won't.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Nor James.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46I'm prepared to deal with all of that.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Stuck in hospital, forgotten...
0:39:51 > 0:39:52..head injuries...
0:39:53 > 0:39:54It's Rene, isn't it?
0:39:58 > 0:39:59Perhaps.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Forget about Harry for the minute.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Will this help YOU?
0:40:05 > 0:40:06You.
0:40:07 > 0:40:08Yes.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12Damn the torpedoes, then. Full speed ahead.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Back to work. You're a man of the land, I understand.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Thanks. And sorry again, about tonight.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34- Not at all.- I wouldn't fit in.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38You might surprise yourself, but I won't insist.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42Oh, I'll carry the bloody flag for the both of us.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44He doesn't give himself enough credit.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Put yourself in his shoes - dinner with the Prime Minister?
0:40:47 > 0:40:49That's what Regina said.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51At least you're coming.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55I might, um, pop over early. She may need help.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59- It's nice to see you doing your best with her.- Tonight, I will.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Thank you.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Put 'em on!
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Ambulance is coming.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14- She's done it? - Good riddance, I say.
0:41:23 > 0:41:24She's done it.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Keep up the steam inhalations and do what you can to lift her spirits.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Worry can affect the asthma.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Oh, look, she's mostly through that stuff,
0:41:34 > 0:41:37but some of the kids have been teasing her.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39That wouldn't help, I'll have a word to Bronwyn.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Thank you. It's not easy on your own.
0:41:44 > 0:41:49I don't know what I would've done the last week without Mr Briggs.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53Bringing us home from hospital and helping with the yard.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57- Roy?- Oh, that's what he said to call him,
0:41:57 > 0:42:00but...I can't quite bring myself to say it yet.
0:42:02 > 0:42:03Roy.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Yeah, he's just been a wonder.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Thank you, I must get on.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22ENGINE STARTS
0:42:28 > 0:42:30HORN TOOTS
0:42:44 > 0:42:48- Been splashing out, have you? - It belongs to the hospital.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50I don't notice anyone else getting their own car.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53One of the perquisites of my position.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Got the doc right where you want him, haven't you?
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Sorry, is there a reason for this?
0:43:00 > 0:43:03I had the city blokes check up on Bert Ford's missus.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05- Interesting.- Yes?
0:43:05 > 0:43:07They say she never trusted you.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10Reckon she wouldn't put anything past you.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13I'd add killing an innocent young teacher to that one.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15Hmm, I'm sure you would.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20You're on a list.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22Come near Ash Park today, you'll be hauled off.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24That's good to know. Thank you so much, Sergeant.
0:43:26 > 0:43:28Consider yourself warned.
0:43:31 > 0:43:34You haven't got a shred of evidence against me.
0:43:36 > 0:43:39I've got a crazy woman with an axe to grind
0:43:39 > 0:43:41hell-bent on sabotage.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43No crazier than the next person.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45Well, none of them got locked up in a loony bin
0:43:45 > 0:43:48and I bet none of them fought for the Commies in Spain.
0:43:48 > 0:43:53So, till some better suspect turns up - and I don't see it - you're it.
0:43:54 > 0:43:57If you don't mind, I have work to do.
0:44:05 > 0:44:07ENGINE STARTS
0:44:11 > 0:44:12VEHICLE APPROACHES
0:44:12 > 0:44:13SHE GASPS
0:44:14 > 0:44:16Sergeant Taylor!
0:44:16 > 0:44:20You're no doubt here to see the crowds are not too unruly.
0:44:20 > 0:44:23Making sure everything's hunky-dory.
0:44:23 > 0:44:27Indeed, indeed. I'm sure the numbers will swell.
0:44:27 > 0:44:29I'd like you to move along peacefully.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32- I beg your pardon? - Pack up your stuff.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35Go on, get! Your name is on a list of troublemakers.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37Oh?
0:44:37 > 0:44:41- What list?- Communist sympathisers!
0:44:41 > 0:44:43Me? A pawn of Moscow?
0:44:45 > 0:44:47It's not a laughing matter!
0:44:47 > 0:44:49I'm sorry, I'm sorry. What else did he say?
0:44:49 > 0:44:52Er, "I've got all your Commie signatures" - his very words!
0:44:52 > 0:44:54I don't understand!
0:44:54 > 0:44:58The petition for Sarah. He's using it against us.
0:45:10 > 0:45:13- Where's Mrs Collins?- Sir?
0:45:13 > 0:45:16- Doris Collins was here earlier. - Not when I arrived.
0:45:17 > 0:45:21- I'm sure she'll be back. - Everything's in hand, sir.
0:45:58 > 0:46:01It's not too late to go home and change.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05When will you get another chance to meet the Prime Minister?
0:46:05 > 0:46:06No.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12Grandmother's got something delicious planned.
0:46:12 > 0:46:15- You must be curious. - Oh, you can tell me about it later.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19Just don't let Regina get away with anything.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24I'll soften her up for Grandmother.
0:46:29 > 0:46:30Ciao, bella.
0:46:34 > 0:46:37- Henry!- Miss Bligh, Mrs Bligh.
0:46:37 > 0:46:40- I see I caught you at a bad time. - My car has arrived, I'm afraid.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42I'll make it quick, then. Thank you.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45I wish to take my lead from you.
0:46:45 > 0:46:49- Regarding?- As George's doctor, I visit him periodically.
0:46:49 > 0:46:53James and I are, as you have encouraged.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55James is ostensibly back with Olivia.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57Oh, what a tangled web we weave!
0:46:59 > 0:47:03Therefore, should I excuse myself as Mr Bligh's physician?
0:47:03 > 0:47:07The very fact that you ask impresses me.
0:47:07 > 0:47:11Your understanding of James and I makes me keen to do what's right.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14- For my sake?- And for James's.
0:47:14 > 0:47:17What you ought to know is nothing of you other than as his physician.
0:47:17 > 0:47:20I shall attempt to sound Olivia out.
0:47:20 > 0:47:23James, I'm sure, will enjoy your visits,
0:47:23 > 0:47:26so I look forward to seeing you at Ash Park.
0:47:26 > 0:47:30- You're returning? - At half past six tonight, precisely.
0:47:30 > 0:47:33- That's very specific. - Oh, it's for a very specific reason.
0:47:33 > 0:47:37- You're looking forward to it, then? - Oh, you have no idea.
