0:00:02 > 0:00:03- He was set upon?- Homo-bashed.
0:00:03 > 0:00:07It's all right, Harry. It's Sarah.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10He was beaten to within an inch of his life.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12He can recover here without any stigma attached to him.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14I doubt George will thank you.
0:00:14 > 0:00:15Nor James.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Relax.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19If your dubious virtue was in any danger,
0:00:19 > 0:00:23you'd be on your back already moaning for more.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Has he behaved inappropriately towards you?
0:00:25 > 0:00:26SHE SOBS
0:00:26 > 0:00:27What did he do?
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Let's set a date. Husband and wife.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Yes.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38Anna wants you both to know she doesn't believe the rumours.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40- What rumours?- Oh, there are some real gossipy types around here.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42People are saying things about us?
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Oh, who cares.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46They're all liars, anyway.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51Gather the staff. The Prime Minister dines this Wednesday.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Despite everything, she's proven her worth, hasn't she?
0:00:55 > 0:00:57The Prime Minister is a coup.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59But I will keep an eye on her.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01I suspect a crowd at the gates.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Make sure it's vetted. We don't want any left-wing outbursts.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06There will be none of that.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08I'd like you to move along peacefully.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Go on, get. Your name is on a list of troublemakers.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14She may well have secured George's election with this dinner.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15Let's go back tomorrow, then.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Timing, my darling.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Timing is everything.
0:01:20 > 0:01:21You are returning?
0:01:21 > 0:01:23At half past six tonight, precisely.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24That's very specific.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Oh, it's for a very specific reason.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29You are looking forward to it, then?
0:01:29 > 0:01:30Oh, you have no idea.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17You're starting early.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21My wound's playing up.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Can I fetch some morphine?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25I kept all of the bottles, just in case.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26You shouldn't have.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29This perverse need to suffer...
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- ..just for tonight. - I need a clear head.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34He says, gulping whisky.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38We can't have you either drunk or wincing
0:02:38 > 0:02:39in front of the Prime Minister.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41I'm done with that stuff.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I know why you're abstaining.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48You'd rather suffer than risk dropping your guard again.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Is touching me so loathsome?
0:02:56 > 0:02:57If I wasn't befuddled...
0:02:58 > 0:03:00..it wouldn't have happened.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04Here...
0:03:08 > 0:03:10You still have feelings for Mrs Nordmann, I understand...
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- I'd rather you didn't...- But you are entertaining the Prime Minister.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18You deserve more than being the second choice of a country nurse.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Do you value yourself so little?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- Rose.- Mrs Poletti.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- I'm so embarrassed.- Don't be.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51I just wanted to say that our dinner invitation is genuine.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- When you are free.- Thank you.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- And the lessons? - Let's do them together.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59My Italian could always do with some improvement.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02I hope I find a man like Mr Poletti, one day.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- I'm sure you will. - You're both so lucky.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Small sips will leave you pain-free
0:04:24 > 0:04:26and much sharper than too much of that.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33I promise not to ravish you.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11The truck is bedecked and on its way.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Are you sure you won't come?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18I'd be a red rag to a bull.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Anyway, I should be here when Harry arrives.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Doctor? Your fiancee.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24I'll see you all outside.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Isn't it romantic?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Doctor Duncan and Miss Carolyn.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Have you received your invitation yet?
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- The wedding?- Well, of course.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38I don't think they've gone out.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40I suspected as much.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42I check my letterbox daily.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Are you sure you won't come?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Someone has to mind the shop, but, Valda, you go if you want to.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49To see Menzies?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51I'd rather poke my eye out with a fork.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Poor old Doris got a rough trot, we're going to support her.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02'For George's sake, don't do anything foolish.'
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Like beating the living daylights out of Seb bloody Richard?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Mother knows what's happened.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- She's on her way down.- 'How?'
0:06:11 > 0:06:13It just came out.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14'Are you...all right?'
0:06:14 > 0:06:18I'm fine. But I doubt he will be.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Or Regina.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23You really do have a novelist's imagination.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26It's obvious you sent Rose over to tempt him.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27To the paranoid, perhaps.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30And when she didn't, you implied that she had.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32You're wasting your time.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33We're in love.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Unlike you and father.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36I adore George...
0:06:36 > 0:06:38You are expedient.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39He simply tolerates you.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49You loathsome minx.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52If you weren't so pathetic, you'd be laughable.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58I have invited the Prime Minister to dine.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00I will be with George when he's sworn into Parliament.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01And where will you be?
0:07:01 > 0:07:05With your dirt-farmer husband on your drab little farm,
0:07:05 > 0:07:09tapping out stories to justify your dreary existence.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11I call that pathetic.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17I am so looking forward to tonight.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46Oh, bloody hell.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Oh, perhaps I should hang back, Doctor.
0:07:51 > 0:07:52Come on.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Have a gander at the wowzer brigade down there.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Whose idea was this?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02I wouldn't have a clue.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Doris.- Mr Briggs.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08I feel safer now between two burly men.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Oh, Mrs Calwarth!
0:08:10 > 0:08:12And little Emma.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Now, are you feeling any better now?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- Yes.- Good.- Hey.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Have you got something to do with this truck being here?
0:08:19 > 0:08:22I thought I'd told you to clear off?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24That goes for some of you others, too.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25We've got as much right to be here as anyone.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28He's got you backing up his pet commie.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Missy's about as red as you are a copper's bootlace, son.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35Take that down. Roy Briggs, inciting riots.
0:08:35 > 0:08:40Mr Briggs is simply defending an absolutely powerless woman.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41And Doris Collins.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43She was warned off and came back with a mob.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45I did no such thing!
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Haven't you got something more important to be getting on with?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- Is there a problem?- Mr Bligh.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51- Glad you made it.- MR BLIGH:- George.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54There's your platform.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58I'll let him know his constituents
0:08:58 > 0:09:00might appreciate a bit of a speech.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Well, thank you.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Thank you, all, for being here.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11You know, it's as exciting for me to entertain our Prime Minister
0:09:11 > 0:09:14as it is for you to greet him.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17And I know that you will give him a real Inverness welcome.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Three cheers for our next MP!
0:09:19 > 0:09:20- Hip hip... CROWD:- Hooray!
0:09:20 > 0:09:21- Hip hip... CROWD:- Hooray!
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- Hip hip... CROWD:- Hooray!
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Thank you.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35- Thank you, Roy.- Mr Bligh.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- Mrs Collins.- Oh, it's an absolute thrill, Mr Bligh.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42But are you aware that this man is trying to drive us away?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- Sergeant?- I suspect there's an element out
0:09:44 > 0:09:47to cause trouble for Mr Menzies.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Private word.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Just doing my duty, sir.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56By harassing my constituents?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- Mrs Bligh, sir...- Mrs Bligh?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00She had reason to believe there would be a disturbance.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02And then there's the petition.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04For?
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Some of the parents complained about things being taught at school.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Commie things. Things against the good Lord.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Others opposed them with the petition supporting it.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19So this has something to do with Mrs Nordmann's time teaching?
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Yes.- And my wife encouraged you?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Just said to keep an eye out.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Wanted the day to go as smooth as possible.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Sergeant, any harassing of any of the crowd...
0:10:33 > 0:10:34..and you will have me to answer to.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37Is that understood?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Good.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Thank you again for being here.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53And enjoy your day, all of you, enjoy your day.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Vote for the Country Party!
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Good on you, Mr Bligh.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05You were saying something, weren't you?
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Doesn't it look marvellous?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13The sitting room.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Now.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30Close the door.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Has Anna said something?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- Anna?- She was most unpleasant earlier.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41I put her in her place.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42Sarah and Sergeant Taylor.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45What about them?
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Taylor said you've encouraged him to keep her supporters from the gate,
0:11:50 > 0:11:52as possible agitators.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Reds ARE amongst us.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59And Jews have a long history as communist sympathisers.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03She was also asked to leave the school for blasphemy.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05I felt better safe than sorry.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08If I find you causing mischief for Sarah again...
0:12:09 > 0:12:12..you will be out on your ear.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- You don't... You don't... - The good thing about morphine.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19You're more likely to express your true feelings.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Play your agreed role.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Never presume to play me.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50We'll take him through to the far room.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Why is he being moved here?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- He's a friend of mine. - What happened to him?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- Car accident.- Oh.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01VIP treatment.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04Thank you.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Thanks.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09Just hang in there, mate.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Pain?
0:13:13 > 0:13:14Yes.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20I wonder if he'd be so friendly if he knew.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23No-one needs to know. You're safe from that here.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Why are you doing this?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31That sounded ungrateful, sorry.
0:13:31 > 0:13:32No, it's a fair question.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39A man I knew was abandoned in hospital.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- Is he OK now?- He died.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Let me get you something for that pain.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47James Bligh.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48What about him?
0:13:53 > 0:13:56There's no reason for him to know that you are here.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57Can we keep it like that?
0:13:59 > 0:14:01If he found out how this...
0:14:01 > 0:14:03He'd be glad you're being looked after.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09How's Libby?
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Trying her best.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17What's so sad is we both still love each other.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Gino?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- He's good.- I'm surprised that still fits.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27- All that pasta.- You can't talk.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Is that a little spread I see around your middle?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Too much room service.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- Dined in a lot?- Two men dining out?
0:14:36 > 0:14:38It's rather obvious, isn't it?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40They do it all the time in gentleman's clubs.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42The way we are, it might show.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44You're hardly wearing feather boas.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Henry says I'm overly sensitive.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53He's training me in the subtle art of avoiding attention.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58What?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01What a conversation to have before meeting the Prime Minister.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05If he only knew.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16Doris Collins!
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Breaking into the CWA!
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Good on you, Bob!
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Oh, is Dr Duncan in attendance?
0:16:11 > 0:16:12- Oh, Mrs Bligh.- Sarah.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Elizabeth.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Mr Kohl to X-ray, please.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22- How lovely to see you.- How lovely to see you on the road to recovery.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24We have much to catch up on.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Is taking on Regina wise?
0:16:31 > 0:16:33You are still recovering.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36I intend to pull her claws or die trying.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Possibly literally.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Pardon me, I'm on a very precise schedule.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43I trust she's causing YOU no harm?
0:16:44 > 0:16:47That requires a much longer conversation, and...
0:16:48 > 0:16:49..one I'd like to have.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- We've ten minutes.- We'd barely scratch the surface.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Oh, look at you.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- Gussied up for battle. - The latest in flak jackets.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04I gather Carolyn telephoned?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07It was time you made an honest woman of her, as they say.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- Congratulations. - I'll leave you to it.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- How did it go? - Er, we made our point.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14- When you're settled... - We shall speak.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19You were at Ash Park, I hear.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20I gather you saw him?
0:17:22 > 0:17:24- I should have throttled him. - The man is mine.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Are we sure he wasn't bashed?
0:17:42 > 0:17:45I took a look at the bruising on his back.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Apparently, the car rolled twice.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49I'll take over from here.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10It's all right.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11It's all right.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14It's all right, it's all right,
0:18:14 > 0:18:16It's all right.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28It should be me having a go at him.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Jack, listen.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33It shows more strength respecting Carolyn's wishes.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36And I can dress him down with fewer consequences.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Now, I must go.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40It is essential that I arrive precisely as dinner is called.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50So, Richard wasn't exaggerating.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Quite the property.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53I am very fortunate.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55In more ways than one, eh, Jude?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59THEY GIGGLE
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Dear Anna!
0:19:01 > 0:19:02The artist of the family.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Quite the budding author.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Olivia embraces the more traditional values of home and hearth.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10I think the modern woman can aspire to both.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- As I do.- Well said, Dame Pattie.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14Shall we join the men?
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Deirdre.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23- I may vomit.- She does rather hog the limelight.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Perfect word.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26Hog.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Time to go in. Shall we lead the way, my darling?
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- You're a cougar.- I am, rather.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45To think, Mrs Bligh is using my parsley for the Prime Minister.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Oh, would I were a fly on the wall.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50You want to watch out for that Mortein.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Oh, Mr Briggs.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Isn't he a wag, Dawn?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56That he is.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Do my eyes deceive me?
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Mrs Bligh! The mother of our member, oh!
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Oh, and looking so well. Welcome home.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Thank you, Mrs Collins.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- They'll be thrilled to see you. - Not everyone.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21You'll need a few days in here to be on the safe side.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Then home nursing should do.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25I've got nowhere to go.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27That's all been organised.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- Who am I staying with?- I will make up the annexe where I live.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32With Roy Briggs.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- Does he know?- He knows you're hurt and there's a job for you.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- I'm tired.- Sleep.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- Charming house. - Mr Menzies, Dame Pattie.
0:20:51 > 0:20:56Anna's husband was unable to join us, so our table is somewhat askew.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- Not ill-health, I hope? - Oh, slight indisposition.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Just over there. - Have we found our places?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- We have indeed.- I won't interrupt,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06I simply want to mention that I'm home,
0:21:06 > 0:21:08and to wish you all bon appetit.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- Mother!- I hope my arrival's not inconvenient.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Elizabeth.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15How lovely to see you.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17We were concerned about your health.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Rumours of my infirmity are greatly exaggerated.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Prime Minister, my mother.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Pattie's often spoken of you.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26You must join us.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30- Yes, mother.- Oh, the journey has left me a tad peckish.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31If it wouldn't disrupt your plans?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36There, now your table is balanced.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- ANNA:- What could be better?
0:21:41 > 0:21:42Another setting.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Olivia, dear, perhaps you remain next to the Prime Minister.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53I'm sure he would enjoy a youthful perspective on matters.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54Isn't this wonderful?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57So much more than I expected.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Well, it's wonderful to have you back, mother.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02Darling?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12I think we can all be seated, then.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Sir Richard, if I may have a private moment with you later?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23There's a matter on which I require your particular advice.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Of course.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Well, what could be more perfect?
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Time we ladies left the gentlemen to their brandies,
0:22:40 > 0:22:42cigars and mysterious matters.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Oh, let's not impose
0:22:44 > 0:22:46that sort of antiquated tomfoolery on Dame Pattie.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Why don't we all repair to the sitting room,
0:22:48 > 0:22:50unless the Prime Minister objects?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Your mother is a progressive, George.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Only recently.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57We have a woman on the throne.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59I think it's high time we shared in the after-dinner conversation,
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- don't you?- Bravo, grandmother.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02Thank you, dear.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Perhaps I might retain you, Sir Richard,
0:23:05 > 0:23:06and we'll have that private moment.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10- Why not?- Regina, dear, I look forward to a good catch-up.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12As do I, dear.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17I want a balloon of your best ready, George.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18Rest assured.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Girls, you may close the doors, please.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Well, you showed who is still lady of the manor.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34- I did.- Reggie spitting silent chips.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39So, what can I do for you?
0:23:39 > 0:23:42You can explain how you thought you could rape my daughter
0:23:42 > 0:23:44- and suffer no consequences.- Ah.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Did you imagine that, as her mother, I would spare you this conversation?
0:23:49 > 0:23:53Well, she's crying innocent because her boyfriend turned up.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Your girl likes a good time and you know it.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59You say anything, and the world will know she's a slut.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03She'd come out of it worse than me.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04- You filth!- Christ!
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- Bloody hell, woman! - You vile, rotten pig!
0:24:07 > 0:24:08How dare you?!
0:24:13 > 0:24:14You say the knife slipped,
0:24:14 > 0:24:16or I will tell the Prime Minister everything.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Accident! Quickly!
0:24:22 > 0:24:24You stay away from Carolyn.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27And Anna. Or, next time, I will geld you.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38So much blood.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Dr Bell is the night doctor, but most competent.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Are you sure we shouldn't have Jack in?
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Not that Dr Bell doesn't have experience...
0:24:47 > 0:24:49No. But we can phone if needs be.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51George.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Has the Prime Minister left?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Yes. He wants to be kept informed.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Bolting the stable door, perhaps,
0:25:04 > 0:25:06but the girls must dull those knives.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Are you all right?
0:25:10 > 0:25:11I'm trying to remain calm.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14I'm so sorry.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15Oh, it's no-one's fault.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Perhaps you should take your grandmother home.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24It might be wisest. Come on, grandmother, let's get you home.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28James, I will let you know if I'm feeling unwell.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Well, doctor, how is the patient?
0:25:30 > 0:25:31The wound's been sutured.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32About 20 stitches.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Well, they're more than welcome to stay, if need be.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37He is well bandaged up.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39I suggest he sees a surgeon in the city
0:25:39 > 0:25:41to assess possible tendon damage.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42Perhaps Henry?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46The man who saved my life.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47He's a top-notch surgeon.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- May I go in? - He'll be out in a moment.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53He asked for a quick word with Mrs Bligh.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55Of course.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00No doubt concerned with the effect it's had on you.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01So thoughtful.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07I prescribed something to help him sleep.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15What if I called your bluff?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17With the Prime Minister and your wife there?
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- I think not.- What now?
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Books are meant to be balanced.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24An eye for an eye?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Good Old Testament justice.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- Better than none.- You old hypocrite.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32You treated your daughter like a slut for decades,
0:26:32 > 0:26:34and you exiled her from the family for it.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36I only gave her one night of shame.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41This must be why you never won Best Mother of the Royal Easter Show.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53You want Old Testament justice?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59I am a fierce and vengeful God.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Oh, you loathsome creature.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09- Oh, Richard.- Oh, don't carry on, I'll be right as rain.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10KNOCK ON DOOR
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Excuse me, ma'am.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17We've cleared away. Is there anything else that needs doing?
0:27:19 > 0:27:20Not until the others return.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24We've got Mrs Bligh's room all ready.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25I am Mrs Bligh.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Always refer to her as Mrs Bligh Senior.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31She is the elder.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34She's old.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Factions will be forming.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43I trust I can rely upon you.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49After all I've done for you, you would hesitate?
0:27:49 > 0:27:51No, ma'am.
0:27:51 > 0:27:52Good.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56I'll remind you of that, should it become necessary.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00You may go.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Regina.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01Regina?
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Regina?
0:29:09 > 0:29:10Regina!
0:29:12 > 0:29:16Oh, I must have dozed off.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- How is he?- He's on his way home.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21More concerned for mother than himself.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Is he?
0:29:23 > 0:29:25- You should get to bed.- In time.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29You know she did it deliberately?
0:29:30 > 0:29:34She knew what the evening meant to me and she invaded it.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35I asked her back home.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38She timed her arrival perfectly.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Playing the fragile flower,
0:29:40 > 0:29:43to see me relegated to the middle of the table,
0:29:43 > 0:29:45across from your brat of a daughter.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Regina!
0:29:48 > 0:29:50- No!- You've drunk too much.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56I've sipped too much.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59- Have you...?- As you say, George, morphine loosens the tongue.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03You want it all your own way.
0:30:03 > 0:30:04Don't you?
0:30:05 > 0:30:08- Goodnight.- You will stay and you will listen.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12I have loved you for years.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17You have known it, you must have.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20You knew it when you suggested our arrangement.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22But who cares about my feelings?
0:30:22 > 0:30:23I'm simply useful.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27And in your drugged stupor,
0:30:27 > 0:30:30when you made love to me, what did you do?
0:30:30 > 0:30:34You retreated into your infatuation with the Jew.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37It was as if you had fouled yourself.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Well, I have news for you, George.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43You are married to me.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45And you do need me,
0:30:45 > 0:30:48and you will treat me with respect and never disgust,
0:30:48 > 0:30:52or I will pull your entire world down around your ears,
0:30:52 > 0:30:54brick by brick!
0:30:54 > 0:30:57- Stop now!- I will tell the truth of your son,
0:30:57 > 0:31:00I will harass Elizabeth into an early grave,
0:31:00 > 0:31:03and I will announce you've sired a bastard!
0:31:03 > 0:31:04ENOUGH!
0:31:07 > 0:31:09ENOUGH!
0:31:11 > 0:31:13How do you know?
0:31:15 > 0:31:19I stumbled over the codicils in your will.
0:31:19 > 0:31:20You went through my papers?
0:31:20 > 0:31:22I had no choice.
0:31:22 > 0:31:23Where is the morphine?
0:31:25 > 0:31:26Where is it?!
0:31:29 > 0:31:31- Who knows?- No-one.
0:31:34 > 0:31:39All I did for tonight, and you let your mother humiliate me.
0:31:42 > 0:31:43I offer you love...
0:31:44 > 0:31:46..and you prefer that woman?
0:31:50 > 0:31:52I suffer abuse from your family.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58It's no wonder my heart is broken.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07I will gather the family tomorrow
0:32:07 > 0:32:10and we will deal with this once and for all.
0:32:10 > 0:32:11I am your wife...
0:32:11 > 0:32:14The day room at eight.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Keep your distance from mother.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25KNOCK ON DOOR
0:32:25 > 0:32:26Yes?
0:32:29 > 0:32:32A family conference in the day room at eight.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34There are matters that need resolving.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36- Olivia?- Rose is informing her.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38A driver is taking a message to Anna and Gino.
0:32:39 > 0:32:40Goodnight.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47- Mother.- Hm?- Could you be in the day room at eight o'clock?
0:32:48 > 0:32:51It's time we had everything out in the open.
0:32:51 > 0:32:56- Regarding?- How we all proceed in this disaster of my making.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00- Of your making?- I married the woman, I take ultimate responsibility.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04I've asked Regina to keep her distance until then.
0:33:04 > 0:33:05I ask the same of you.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Couldn't go to sleep without a kiss?
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- Carolyn.- Oh!
0:33:25 > 0:33:26George. I'm sorry, I thought...
0:33:26 > 0:33:30I know I'm presuming, but a car is collecting you in half an hour.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32- Mother?- 'No, it's nothing to do with her.'
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Or to worry about. A family meeting,
0:33:35 > 0:33:37'first thing in the morning.'
0:33:37 > 0:33:39I can drive myself.
0:33:39 > 0:33:40A car will collect you.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45- What's happened?- I wouldn't be asking if wasn't essential.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48We'll talk in the morning.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31- What's wrong?- Mr Polson's gone.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36DOG BARKS
0:35:36 > 0:35:37Here they are.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43Shut up, you silly mutt.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Missy! Missy!
0:35:49 > 0:35:50Harry!
0:35:50 > 0:35:54He can't see me. He can't. He can't see me.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04He was there. He was right outside the door.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06It was an unfortunate coincidence.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09He can't see me, not yet. Not like this.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11They left. No-one was admitted,
0:36:11 > 0:36:13there is no reason for James to return.
0:36:13 > 0:36:14It's better here.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Can I stay here? You could look after me.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20I have my job, Harry.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22You said there's a room.
0:36:23 > 0:36:24It's not ready.
0:36:28 > 0:36:29All right.
0:36:32 > 0:36:33Sit down.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Dr Duncan can check you over tomorrow.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46If he agrees, fine.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50- What about you?- I'll manage.
0:36:52 > 0:36:53The man who died.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- Yes?- He's why you're helping me?
0:36:57 > 0:37:01It's what we nurses do. Here, lie down.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08I'm doing what I wish someone had done for him.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14How long was he in hospital?
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Eight years.
0:37:19 > 0:37:20Eight years?
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Yes.
0:37:24 > 0:37:25Who was he?
0:37:27 > 0:37:29My...
0:37:32 > 0:37:33The love of my life.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39You are helping me as much as I'm helping you.
0:37:41 > 0:37:42Get some rest.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51I reckon you might need this.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53I should let the hospital know.
0:37:53 > 0:37:54- I can go, if you like. - No, it's better it's me.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Did he tell you why he'd done a bunk?
0:38:05 > 0:38:08There are things about him that I didn't tell you.
0:38:08 > 0:38:09I was waiting...
0:38:09 > 0:38:11for the right moment.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15I hope you can understand.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Harry was beaten...
0:38:24 > 0:38:26..for being a homosexual.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31- You're kidding me?- No.- Nah.- Yes.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Harry's...? Nah. Pull the other one.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- He IS.- A big, strong bloke like Harry?
0:38:37 > 0:38:38Yes!
0:38:45 > 0:38:46Strewth.
0:38:53 > 0:38:54Well, I've never met one before.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59You have, you just haven't known it.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05- James.- James Bligh?
0:39:05 > 0:39:07- Yes.- Now, you ARE having me on.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10Harry ran tonight because he saw James at the hospital.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12- James is a married man. - Yes, but...
0:39:13 > 0:39:15As I'm dragging you into the middle of this,
0:39:15 > 0:39:17you deserve the whole truth.
0:39:21 > 0:39:22Blokes and blokes?
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Not natural.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28If you'd rather Harry didn't stay, I can't force you...
0:39:28 > 0:39:31And all this "He can't see me" stuff, what's that about?
0:39:33 > 0:39:34James and he were attracted to each other,
0:39:34 > 0:39:36I imagine that's why Harry left town.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40The things that go on behind a bloke's back.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43I should let the hospital know, they'll be worried.
0:39:50 > 0:39:51You want to help him.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54He has no-one else.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56We'll see how it goes, eh?
0:39:58 > 0:40:00So long as he doesn't give me the glad eye.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03I think you'll be safe.
0:40:06 > 0:40:07Thank you.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Thank you, Rose.
0:40:31 > 0:40:32Sorry to have kept you up.
0:40:32 > 0:40:33I don't mind.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37- Is my mother awake? - She turned in early.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Things have been at sixes and sevens...
0:40:40 > 0:40:42- I rather gathered. - ..with Sir Richard and all.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49- Mother?- Oh...
0:40:49 > 0:40:50- Mother, it's me.- Coming.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Oh, Carolyn.
0:40:58 > 0:40:59Why's your door locked?
0:41:00 > 0:41:02It will be locked every night.
0:41:02 > 0:41:03From now on.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08I woke to the odour of Fleur de Nuit, Regina's perfume.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12- She was in your room? - While I was asleep.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14That is positively sinister.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Indeed it is!
0:41:16 > 0:41:19I assume you are here at George's summoning.
0:41:19 > 0:41:20- Do you have any idea?- No.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26What's this business with Sir Richard?
0:41:26 > 0:41:29His fruit knife slipped.
0:41:29 > 0:41:30It was a nasty gash.
0:41:32 > 0:41:33Clumsy.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39- Mother.- Vile creature tried to put the blame on you.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41He had the gall to smirk.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44It was a moment of impulse.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47- Mother.- Do you think I'd see him go unpunished?
0:41:51 > 0:41:52Thank you.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59I'm so sorry, Carolyn.
0:41:59 > 0:42:00What for?
0:42:03 > 0:42:06All the years we missed because...
0:42:07 > 0:42:09..I sat in judgment of you.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15It is my shame to bear.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20SHE SOBS
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Now, if you can manage to talk to James.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Let's just see what your father says first, huh?
0:43:50 > 0:43:53A minute late. Apologies.
0:44:03 > 0:44:07Now we're all here, I'd appreciate your full attention until I'm done.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10I'm happy to hear anything you have to say privately.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13I will speak frankly and honestly.
0:44:13 > 0:44:15Please don't interrupt.
0:44:17 > 0:44:19Firstly, Regina.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22I have been unfair to you.
0:44:22 > 0:44:24You were right in what you said last night,
0:44:24 > 0:44:27I thought more of myself in marrying than I did of you.
0:44:27 > 0:44:30I should have made my expectations much clearer.
0:44:31 > 0:44:33I will do so now,
0:44:33 > 0:44:34so we all understand the situation.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38You're my wife in name only.
0:44:38 > 0:44:40You are not the mistress of Ash Park.
0:44:40 > 0:44:41- George...- Be quiet!
0:44:43 > 0:44:45There is no mistress of Ash Park.
0:44:49 > 0:44:52Mother, I'm glad to see you back.
0:44:52 > 0:44:54But the bitterness that came between us before could well return
0:44:54 > 0:44:56if you assume that role again.
0:44:56 > 0:45:00Ash Park will always be your home, but not your domain.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03That is an old concept linked to the family as it was.
0:45:03 > 0:45:07But too much has changed for us to cling to old concepts.
0:45:07 > 0:45:09We are about to have our first divorce...
0:45:11 > 0:45:14..hopefully, with no animosity, for the sake of Georgie.
0:45:15 > 0:45:17We have our first budding author.
0:45:18 > 0:45:21And winemaker. And, Gino,
0:45:21 > 0:45:25I would like to finance your venture as an expansion of Bligh interests.
0:45:25 > 0:45:27George, I would never have asked.
0:45:27 > 0:45:28I am very happy to offer.
0:45:29 > 0:45:31And our old maid...
0:45:32 > 0:45:38- Oh!- ..is finally embracing respectability, and her joy is ours.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40How thrilled we are.
0:45:41 > 0:45:44And, now, as head of the family,
0:45:44 > 0:45:48I am taking it on myself to dictate what happens next.
0:45:50 > 0:45:51Mother stays.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55I would love Carolyn to move back to prepare for her wedding,
0:45:55 > 0:45:58and I would appreciate Olivia moving back into the house.
0:45:58 > 0:46:00The choice of bedrooms is hers.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05And, Regina, we will move you to the cottage.
0:46:05 > 0:46:08It makes you available leading up to the election,
0:46:08 > 0:46:12but it also means that animosity can be avoided.
0:46:12 > 0:46:14I want no more nasty spats in...
0:46:15 > 0:46:17..in various corners.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19That goes for all of you.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24How can I hope to help govern the country
0:46:24 > 0:46:26if I can't even govern my own home.
0:46:40 > 0:46:41One final thing.
0:46:45 > 0:46:48The child that Mrs Nordmann is carrying is mine.
0:46:51 > 0:46:52I am about to see her now.
0:46:54 > 0:46:56The matter is between the two of us.
0:46:57 > 0:46:58Interfere at your peril.
0:47:16 > 0:47:18George!
0:47:56 > 0:47:58I think it's time for that talk.
