0:00:02 > 0:00:03How does it feel to be a murderer?
0:00:03 > 0:00:06You visited Doris, you poisoned the tonic and somehow,
0:00:06 > 0:00:07the bottles were mislabelled.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09- It was suicide.- But it wasn't.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12So, you'd rather think that I killed an innocent woman for some bizarre
0:00:12 > 0:00:15communist plot than that Regina was out to harm me?
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Yeah.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Sergeant, any harassing of any of the crowd
0:00:20 > 0:00:22and you will have me to answer to.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25- It's Sarah.- Harry was beaten for being homosexual.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28He can recover here without any stigma attached to him.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30I doubt George will thank you.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Nor James.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35- Harry!- He can't see me. He can't.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38If you weren't so pathetic, you'd be laughable.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39SHE GASPS
0:00:39 > 0:00:41It's a really good story.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44A Roman a clef inevitably risks offending or causing pain.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46I love you.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48I would never use the word.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51You can explain how you thought you could rape my daughter
0:00:51 > 0:00:53- and suffer no consequences.- Well,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56you say anything and the world will know she's a slut.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57You filth!
0:00:57 > 0:01:00I am a fierce and vengeful God.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- She was in your room.- While I was asleep.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10You will treat me with respect or I will pull your entire world down
0:01:10 > 0:01:12around your ears!
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Enough!
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Mother stays.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19I would love Carolyn to move back to prepare for her wedding and I would
0:01:19 > 0:01:21appreciate Olivia moving back into the house.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26Regina, we will move you to the cottage.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27One final thing.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32The child that Mrs Nordmann is carrying is mine.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37George!
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Not required.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04Ma'am.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Is it too much to hope we are seeing the last of her?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24I can't imagine her rushing back.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27I wish I shared your optimism.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Are you all right?- Yes, thank you.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32A little water, perhaps?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Oh, Gino.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36What's here for her now?
0:02:36 > 0:02:37Sarah with George's child,
0:02:37 > 0:02:41our smug smiles and banishment to the guest cottage.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43A touch too much excitement.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46She did take luggage.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49A single suitcase and no driver.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Which suggests a temporary flounce rather than any extended absence.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- She's up to something. - I beg your pardon?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59She loves being driven around, so why not today?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02A driver knows where he is taking you, so wherever she's headed,
0:03:02 > 0:03:04she doesn't want you knowing.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30I just rather firmly put my house in order.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32I wish this came as easily.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35It's all such a tangle, George.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37How on earth did we get to this?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Starting from such fine intentions.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41We did.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43And now you are married.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45But I love you.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47The marriage is a simple convenience.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50And legal, which is not easily abandoned.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52You have a political career to consider.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54And you,
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- and our child. - To the world Rene's,
0:03:57 > 0:03:59I won't have our baby labelled a bastard.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02We can go around and around the problems.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Or we can consider a happier future.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Can I say what I hope?
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Of course.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18It's unlikely I won't be elected.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21I will consolidate the position in Canberra.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24When the time is right, Regina and I will divorce.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29After an appropriate interval...
0:04:29 > 0:04:31we'll be free to marry.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39I ca...
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I can't make any promises.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43But you can consider it?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46So much has happened to go back.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Maybe we can come together again.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56As different people.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58If it's right.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- You're not closed to the idea? - No, but I...
0:05:05 > 0:05:07I think it's best left there.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13One final thing - I told the family about the baby.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- You had no right to do that... - Regina found a codicil to my will.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I didn't want them hearing it from her.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21They are sworn to silence.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25How long has she known about this?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27I'm not sure. Why?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31It could explain something.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Be very careful of her, George.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- She is under control.- Perhaps not as much as you think.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48We'll always love each other.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51But in what way, I'm not sure.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Time...
0:05:56 > 0:05:57..will tell.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Mrs Bligh.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18I thought it best we speak out here.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21I can't imagine you're thrilled by yesterday's events.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24My husband is sadly blind to that woman.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26So is most of the town.
0:06:26 > 0:06:31But Nordmann was doing her rounds in the days leading up to the murder.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34The teacher left her cottage unlocked while she was at school.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- There we are.- Which gives her opportunity,
0:06:36 > 0:06:40but making the case against a nutter's always the hardest.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42People get bamboozled by them.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45That leaves us with two choices then, doesn't it?
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Enlighten these people or keep trying to find a way to remove her.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52It's a lot of minds to change.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54The latter then, don't you agree?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57I require an address to that end and of course,
0:06:57 > 0:06:59this conversation never occurred.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04What conversation?
0:07:05 > 0:07:06Whose address?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Will you do something for me?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Mmm?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18James couldn't wait to leave once father had gone.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Clear the air. Please.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25At least enough to be in the same room together.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- KNOCKING AT DOOR - Yes?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41You and Olivia are divorcing?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Yeah?
0:07:43 > 0:07:44It's best.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48You won't be marrying again, right?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51No.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55When we see each other, I will be polite.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57There's no need to rush off.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03But just so you know, what you are is wrong.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- To you.- You'll go to hell.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10- I don't believe that. - The Bible says so.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12It says a lot of things.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Honour thy mother and father for one.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Now, you would never have married Anna if you'd done that.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Something about casting the first stone, too?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31I did this for Anna.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43KNOCKING AT DOOR
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- Doctor Duncan, ma'am.- Thanks, Rose.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54A woman in your condition isn't up to attacking someone.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Did I?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59A slip with a fruit knife?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Huge ruddy coincidence.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04He showed no remorse.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07I lost control.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- You sliced him open.- Well, the knife was to hand.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16And he was powerless to protest, given the company.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21I wish I had done it.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28One thing for sure, he won't take it lying down.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31He needs George in his Parliamentary pocket.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32That alone protects me.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Your blood pressure must be through the roof.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39You need to look after yourself.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41We would like you here for the wedding.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49SHEEP BLEAT
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I'm expanding the guest list.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- The wedding is here.- Oh.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Whatever you want.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Oh! Perfect husband response.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Eventful night, I hear.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36I hope that's an end to it then.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Tit-for-tat?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40With a mongrel like him?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Let's make sure it gets no nastier than it has.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56You're wasting no time.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58It's what George wants.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01You know where to put them, Rose.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Which room would you like?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07I'd like to be with James.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Thank you.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11It will help to stifle staff conjecture.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Are you sure you can forgive me?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Let me show you my new roses,
0:12:20 > 0:12:21once you are settled.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26His home is always here,
0:12:26 > 0:12:29if that's decided is best for him.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31It's a decision for you and James alone.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39Oh, deep love can drive any of us to act as we might never have imagined.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Believe me, that I understand.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48You've got some little baby teeth coming through, don't you?
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Yes, you do! Come on, show Daddy your little baby teeth.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Baby teeth.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Come on. Show Daddy your baby teeth.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Sarah's baby might make things easier, if it's a boy.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06It would remove all controversy of who might inherit after you.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08I'll fight for Georgie, no matter what.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11He'll be next in line after me.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13He will?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Of course.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Even...
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Even if he leaves with me?
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Given who I am, he is the only son I'll ever have.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28So, yes, wherever he is raised.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32But he's not blood.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37Let's leave antiquated cant like that to father, shall we?
0:13:37 > 0:13:39It's what's in here that counts.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Hm.- Mother?- Oh...
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I hope I didn't upset you this morning.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Oh, on the contrary.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27I was very proud of you.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29It was time to restore order.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Which you did, admirably.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35You know of Regina's departure?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39She's welcome to simmer wherever she likes.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42As long as she's back well before election day.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44And Sarah?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47That's where you've been.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49We had the talk that was needed.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53And I'm staying out of it, as requested.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57I've arranged to have lunch with her on another matter entirely.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00As a friend of course?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02How far she and I have come.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04But I can say that.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13I was ordered out to what amounts to servants' quarters.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16And then he scurries off to that filthy whore.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Enough. I won't say it again.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20You had one job.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23To control him. If you hadn't been so smug about it,
0:15:23 > 0:15:25you might have headed this off at the pass.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28I don't like failure.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32If you think that I'm going to...
0:15:32 > 0:15:37No-one swans about promising me coalmines and then bails because her
0:15:37 > 0:15:40indulged little nose is out of joint.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Do you really expect me to toady to him?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48While the rest of them snigger behind my back?
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Do you really expect me to go sailing in for you
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- and have them ask questions?- They turned him against me.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58The minute he sniffs we are in cahoots, it's game over.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06I thought we were allies.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Friends.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12We have a deal.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16I saw you married...
0:16:17 > 0:16:19..you control him.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22You go to him,
0:16:22 > 0:16:24I get my coalmine.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29Now get back there and make sure you're so repentant
0:16:29 > 0:16:32the angels themselves will weep.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40I found a way to get rid of the Jew.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Bloody hell, woman, you're obsessed.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- She may have murdered...- Forget about her.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46And do what we agreed on.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53No more, no less.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Sister Nordmann.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41I'll be outside in the sun, when you're ready.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54My indisposition makes me appreciate the small things.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57It's a lovely day.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59You implied you had something to share with me about Regina.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04You have no comment on the baby?
0:18:06 > 0:18:08George's asked me to keep my counsel.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10And if you were to say something?
0:18:12 > 0:18:16I would ask that you be as generous towards him as your heart allows.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Which I haven't said, of course.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26So...
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Regina.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35I'm sure she murdered Millie Davies.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38The schoolteacher?
0:18:38 > 0:18:40She drank from a bottle of tonic meant for me.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Regina poisoned it.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47She wanted to kill you and the child?
0:18:47 > 0:18:48So, you could believe her capable?
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Oh...
0:18:50 > 0:18:55I have stared into her eyes as she refused me my heart pills.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59She slipped into my room last night...
0:18:59 > 0:19:02You're preaching to the converted.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06You've clearly no proof?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- No.- The police?
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Well, she called the them as soon as I confronted her.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13It was my word against hers.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17She's the respectable Mrs Bligh, with an untarnished reputation.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20I'm a Communist out to damage George at the polls.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21And so she is the victim.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Who else knows of this?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Only Roy.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28She can't possibly get away with this!
0:19:28 > 0:19:30She has, Elizabeth.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Well, you will certainly not be sipping from any cups
0:19:32 > 0:19:34she's prepared.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39I doubt she'd risk anything else under the circumstances.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40She deserves the noose.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44She'll never get it. But if we could put our minds to it...
0:19:45 > 0:19:47We must find some form of justice.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57I thought you were meant to stay in bed.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- I needed a walk. - You ought to take it easy, mate.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01I will.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Oi.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Ash Park, right?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12- That's right.- Just saw.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13Yes.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20You go tomcatting over there and missy or no missy,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22you will be out on your ear. Understood?
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Yes.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Good.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Now, get back to bed.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Sergeant.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Take a seat.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50I'll stand. Thank you.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56I felt a word was in order.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00- Sir?- I realise you must be under the palm,
0:21:00 > 0:21:02investigating the death of Millie Davies.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Not an easy task, I'm sure.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Regarding yesterday.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10I applaud your zeal.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14- Your methods, however... - Better safe than sorry.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Apart from harassing innocent citizens,
0:21:16 > 0:21:19and how many voters you might have turned against me,
0:21:19 > 0:21:23had I not appeared and smoothed things over.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Can I be frank, sir?
0:21:26 > 0:21:30- Of course.- It seems the ones I targeted weren't going to vote for
0:21:30 > 0:21:32you anyway.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Really. Doris Collins?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36She signed the petition along with the rest of them.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Let's not concern ourselves with a petition,
0:21:39 > 0:21:41or with votes, for that matter.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43If we could bring this to a close...
0:21:43 > 0:21:45A petition backing the Nordmann woman.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47That would be Sister Nordmann, Sergeant?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51She told the kids they could turn Jew.
0:21:51 > 0:21:56How to convert. Half the Jew youth groups are Communist cells.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Ask Reverend Green.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00The reverend delivers a fine sermon.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05His tolerance of other faiths, however, is rather limited.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08All I know is, anyone who signs a form backing that sort of thing
0:22:08 > 0:22:11needs looking into. Mrs Bligh agrees.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17My wife's opinions aren't relevant.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Leave Mrs Nordmann and her supporters be.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27With all respect, sir, it's not your place to give that order.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31If you want to play favourites, it's your own game, fair enough.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33But other than that, I'll do as my job requires.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Anything else?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Tread warily, Sergeant.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44You too, sir.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47A man like you, the Reds would love you in their pocket.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- Sergeant!- Only thinking of you, sir.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02It's very rough, but I believe the essence is there.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06It's an original story based on you,
0:23:06 > 0:23:08but it's not meant to be you.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10There's a lot of hypothesis.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14And of course, I don't know how you were thinking at the time, but,
0:23:14 > 0:23:16you can tell me if you like.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Or not, if you don't mind my making it up.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23I'm sorry.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25I do.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30It was a very painful time.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Do you agree?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Excuse me, my book.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38It's nothing you can't hear.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39Grandmother did warn me.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44We are soon to be married.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46We are realising the dream we thought we'd lost.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49It's the wrong time to be dredging up the past.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52I told her of the risks in a Roman a clef.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Inevitably, people read between the lines
0:23:55 > 0:23:57and know who it's really about.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58I'm sorry, sweetheart.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02It's been a tiring day.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- Good night.- Good night, mother.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Sweet dreams.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07Chin up.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14- MUFFLED:- I worked so hard on this. - It's beautiful writing...
0:24:14 > 0:24:17What if I changed you from a doctor to a lawyer?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19- Or what if I...- Sweetheart...
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Jack, will you be leaving soon?
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- Not long.- Good.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29Would you mind delivering something to Sarah on your way home?
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Sure.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34And ask her to drop in at her earliest convenience?
0:24:42 > 0:24:43Thank you.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46You will find another story in no time.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02I didn't like disappointing her.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04It's deeply personal material.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08I'm not sure I'd want my part of it under a microscope either.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12I won't intrude.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15I just wanted to say I've returned.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18I accept I still have duties to the campaign.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Harsh though your words seemed at the time, George,
0:25:24 > 0:25:26they have brought clarity.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Perhaps if you visit me tomorrow...
0:25:32 > 0:25:34I'll avoid the house.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Unless invited.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40Good night.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46I am sad, but resigned...
0:25:46 > 0:25:49No, accepting.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Any future tensions will not come from me.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Good night.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Don't say it.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Early as possible tomorrow, she said.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- Is that all?- Yeah.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27She had quite the bounce in her step though.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Two exclamation marks?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Yes.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35Make sense?
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Oddly, I think it does.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Thanks for driving me.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47I wouldn't have been up to trudging it again.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51I'd forgotten how tranquil it is here.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58It stops Roy thinking I'm sniffing around Ash Park, too.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03You know, he doesn't like a lot of people, but he does like you.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- Coming?- Oh, I didn't bring a costume.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15I am one of the few men you don't have to worry about on that score.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19You should do that more often.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Smile.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25All right, come on.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Oh!
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Chilly!
0:27:51 > 0:27:53DOOR OPENS
0:27:55 > 0:27:58(I thought you'd be out and about by now.)
0:27:58 > 0:27:59Father's just off the telephone.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Henry's coming.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03To check on his health.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07- When?- This afternoon.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11He may be asked to stay overnight.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15How do we best handle it?
0:28:17 > 0:28:20We will treat him like any other guest.
0:28:22 > 0:28:23Thank you.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29I doubt I'd be as understanding if it were Lloyd.
0:28:29 > 0:28:30Lloyd is halfway to England.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Anyway, he has no excuse to come.
0:28:34 > 0:28:35Henry does.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40I would like a moment alone with him when he arrives.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- If it helps.- I believe it will.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Well, that was a perfect start to the day.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06The water helps my aches and pains.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09A balm for tensions, too, we should come everyday.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11I won't complain.
0:29:15 > 0:29:21You were Sister Adams before, you're Mrs Nordmann now.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Yes.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27Was Mr Nordmann the man who was in the hospital all that time?
0:29:31 > 0:29:32Yes.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40I thought I'd lost him for all those years.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46I found him again, but just recently, he died.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53At least you still have part of him.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Oh... Yes.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06What?
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Nothing.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Thank you.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22For reminding me so of him.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29I have an appointment.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37It seems wrong, ma'am, you out here.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41Didn't I tell you? That old hag's out to ruin my marriage.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43I'm sorry, ma'am.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Anything else I can get you?
0:30:45 > 0:30:50There is, pen and ink and an aerogram.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54It must be nice having friends overseas.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57- Interesting.- More so sometimes than others.
0:31:10 > 0:31:15At the very least, we have to expose her and in a way that limits her
0:31:15 > 0:31:17- chance of rebuttal.- It's a tall order.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21Well, I've formed a plan, which may well work.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25As you've said, her persona is unassailable.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27You've been dismissed as a Red,
0:31:27 > 0:31:30so in dissent, I can do little on my own.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33There is, however, one person who could overturn her untarnished
0:31:33 > 0:31:36reputation, providing you're comfortable
0:31:36 > 0:31:38about bringing her into our confidence.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Aren't you worried for yourself?
0:31:42 > 0:31:45I'm keeping an eye out.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49Even knowing all I do about her, I can't believe it.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51That's exactly the problem. Who will believe it
0:31:51 > 0:31:54of a woman of her standing without sufficient proof?
0:31:54 > 0:31:55Well, I do, of course.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57You accept it because you wish to.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01Others with plain facts may see it as vicious fantasy.
0:32:01 > 0:32:06- So, she'll get away with it? - She has, legally.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09But there is the court of public opinion
0:32:09 > 0:32:11and that's where my plan plays out.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13You remember what I said about a Roman a clef?
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Readers recognise the truth behind the fiction.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19And reputations can be slayed.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Suppose you wrote a novel in the vein of Josephine Tey.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Death by poison of a young school teacher.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29Well, perhaps make her a librarian and the story surrounding it.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33Names and places changed, but sufficient to the purpose.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37That's the work of months and a good year before it's published.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Well, justice delayed is better than none at all.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42But she won't just read it and confess.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Oh, believe me, this is much better than a confession!
0:32:45 > 0:32:49Locals who read the book will see the obvious parallels
0:32:49 > 0:32:52and one chat with Prudence Swanson will see society primed.
0:32:52 > 0:32:57We will hang Regina's good name, even if we can't hang Regina.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- She'll sue.- Knowing her nature, exactly.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Nothing suggests guilt more than indignation.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05We hope to inspire interest from the police,
0:33:05 > 0:33:08higher up than the blinkered Sergeant Taylor.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Wouldn't it be easier to just spread the rumours now?
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Well, I thought as much at first...
0:33:14 > 0:33:16A book has longevity, substance.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18It will sit in bookshops, homes,
0:33:18 > 0:33:21libraries and be an ongoing thorn in her side.
0:33:21 > 0:33:22It might seem far-fetched, Anna.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26But there is a long-term brilliance to the whole thing.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Sadly, no proof absolute,
0:33:28 > 0:33:31but better than that she escapes censure all together.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34There's a missing piece to this.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Once you've delivered your manuscript,
0:33:37 > 0:33:38it could give it proof absolute.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40If we play our cards right...
0:33:41 > 0:33:43..Regina would provide it herself.
0:34:07 > 0:34:12She lay on the floor of the library.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Back arched,
0:34:16 > 0:34:20froth at the corners of her mouth.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25"She'd not an enemy in the world,"
0:34:25 > 0:34:27the assistant librarian murmured through tears.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30Surely not. Her mouth refused to form the word,
0:34:30 > 0:34:33as her mind recoiled from it.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Suicide.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38What's got you all fired up, eh?
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Destroying Regina.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57I thought we'd said our goodbyes, I don't mind another.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59What?
0:34:59 > 0:35:03I just heard from a member of the hospital board.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Things just got nastier.
0:35:05 > 0:35:06- Your case?- No.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08No.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10It may be nothing, but...
0:35:11 > 0:35:14..Sir Richard just offered £5,000 to the hospital
0:35:14 > 0:35:18for the establishment of a new surgical unit.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20He says his injury in George's shooting hightlights
0:35:20 > 0:35:22the need for better surgical facilities.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25What's he up to?
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Just be careful in Sydney.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29He's wanting to hit back at Elizabeth.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32You think that's what this is?
0:35:32 > 0:35:34It's malevolence, not charity.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36It gives him influence over the hospital board
0:35:36 > 0:35:40and, by extension, more say in all our lives.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42It's possibly a stunt, leading into the election.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- George Bligh...- The timing is too suspect.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50No answering the door without knowing who it is, OK?
0:35:51 > 0:35:54- Are you telling mother?- It's probably what he wants,
0:35:54 > 0:35:58loading her with stress through us. Absolutely not.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Thank you.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Doctor.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Henry, please.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31James said you wished to see me.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Yes.
0:36:37 > 0:36:38I didn't mean to pry.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40No, really. It was in plain view.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Lloyd, in fact, is part of what I wish to discuss.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51James and I are finding an equilibrium.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56Yet when he approached me about your visit today, he felt awkward.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00And there really is no need.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06If you and I could be friends,
0:37:06 > 0:37:08it would be good all round, don't you think?
0:37:11 > 0:37:12It would certainly help me.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16I do feel some guilt.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Unnecessary.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21We've enough to resolve regarding Georgie
0:37:21 > 0:37:23without this getting in the way.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26So, we're agreed?
0:37:26 > 0:37:27I'm delighted.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31You feel no jealousy?
0:37:35 > 0:37:37It's a selfish emotion.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42I feel...
0:37:42 > 0:37:43relief.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47He has a fitting companion.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51You seem very sure I'll do what's right by him.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56With Elizabeth his grandmother,
0:37:56 > 0:37:58you'll be petrified not to.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05I see why James loved you.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Loves you.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Likewise.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Henry.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27SHE EXHALES
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Great minds. I was coming to suggest a canter.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Ah, scraps from the emotional table.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- Is that necessary?- I am out in the kennels.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41Why not feel like one of the hounds!
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Tomorrow evening, the local merchant's association dinner,
0:38:46 > 0:38:51- your attendance would be of value. - George...
0:38:51 > 0:38:53George...
0:38:55 > 0:38:56I'm sorry.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59Can you blame me for feeling bitter?
0:38:59 > 0:39:01I can blame you for how you manifest it.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05A ride, a wonderful idea.
0:39:05 > 0:39:10- The two of us.- Another time, when the suggestion comes more naturally.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14One more thing, Sergeant Taylor,
0:39:14 > 0:39:16- you're to have nothing more to do with him.- I'm...
0:39:16 > 0:39:18As of this moment.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58It's Mrs Bligh.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02Could you ask Mr Bligh's doctor to visit me at his convenience?
0:40:08 > 0:40:09Thank you.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23When do you close?
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Good! It's before then, on a Sunday.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27KNOCKING AT DOOR
0:40:27 > 0:40:31Drinks after the show tonight and we'll firm up arrangements.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Love to Kevin. Mwah!
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Who is it?
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Flowers, ma'am.
0:40:50 > 0:40:56- My condolences.- Oh, I think you have the wrong address.
0:40:56 > 0:40:57It's Carolyn Bligh?
0:40:57 > 0:40:59- Yes.- Right address.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02- Who's it from?- It doesn't say.
0:41:02 > 0:41:03Sign here.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24PHONE RINGS
0:41:28 > 0:41:29Ma'am, you can't go in there.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Sorry, Sir, she just barged straight through.
0:41:33 > 0:41:34That's all right. Shut the door.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Leave it.
0:41:37 > 0:41:38As the lady says.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43I use the term loosely!
0:41:47 > 0:41:49What is this?
0:41:50 > 0:41:53It looks like a wreath.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55What is your point?
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Someone's playing a cruel joke.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01You did what you did.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04Mother retaliated.
0:42:04 > 0:42:05Call that an end to the savagery.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07My book feels unbalanced.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09But what's it got to do with this?
0:42:11 > 0:42:16Somehow, some day, there will be justice.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19There are more sinned against than sinning.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27Must be unsettling having someone send something
0:42:27 > 0:42:30so indicative of malicious intent.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34You can leave now.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36I'm up to anything you toss at us.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40I'm the master of the curved ball.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Ruddy long way to go about it.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Yeah, but at least it's our way.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58George will finally see her for what she is
0:42:58 > 0:43:02- and then the rest of the world. - Three months, a lot of time
0:43:02 > 0:43:06- for her to do damage. - I'll be cautious!
0:43:06 > 0:43:08It's not such a long time.
0:43:08 > 0:43:09It's not just you now.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Penny for your thoughts.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21Takes me back to my resistance days.
0:43:23 > 0:43:26Never spring the ambush until it's fully in place.
0:43:33 > 0:43:36I'm so glad you saw my argument, Henry.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39He'll need it during the election.
0:43:39 > 0:43:41The pain has made him quite fractious.
0:43:41 > 0:43:45It's resulted in our current alienation.
0:43:45 > 0:43:47I did try and convince him earlier.
0:43:47 > 0:43:50And he would have none of it, I'm sure.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52If it's here,
0:43:52 > 0:43:56I'm in a position to subtlety suggest should it become necessary.
0:43:56 > 0:43:59It's a drug that needs vigilance.
0:43:59 > 0:44:00It's pointless him suffering.
0:44:00 > 0:44:02Exactly.
0:44:03 > 0:44:05How lucky he is to have you.
0:44:07 > 0:44:09He's lucky to have your concern.
0:44:10 > 0:44:12Mrs Bligh.
0:44:28 > 0:44:30OWL HOOTS
0:44:35 > 0:44:36Hello.
0:44:40 > 0:44:42It's me.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48You and Livy carried off dinner with aplomb.
0:44:48 > 0:44:50She's a wonderful woman.
0:44:53 > 0:44:57It felt marvellous sitting there between you both.
0:44:57 > 0:45:00It's not something I ever would have expected.
0:45:04 > 0:45:07Two people who love you.
0:45:10 > 0:45:14- HE CLEARS HIS THROAT - It's...
0:45:14 > 0:45:16It's OK, you don't have to say it.
0:45:18 > 0:45:20Yes, I do.
0:45:22 > 0:45:24I do love you.
0:46:01 > 0:46:04Whoohoo!
0:46:30 > 0:46:33I hope it's not too cold.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38Oh!
0:46:39 > 0:46:41The water's bracing, to say the least.
0:46:42 > 0:46:44Sarah, you remember Henry.
0:46:44 > 0:46:47Sister miracle. They're still talking about your saving George's
0:46:47 > 0:46:49life in the ambulance that day.
0:46:51 > 0:46:53James Bligh.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55Any friend of Sarah's a friend of mine.
0:46:58 > 0:47:00Harry Polson.
0:47:00 > 0:47:03Pleased to meet you.
0:47:03 > 0:47:05We can't stop, we'll be late for breakfast.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08I hope all goes well.
0:47:09 > 0:47:10Thank you.
0:47:10 > 0:47:13Well, it was nice to see you again. Mr Polson.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21He doesn't want to know me.
0:47:23 > 0:47:24Who's he?
0:47:24 > 0:47:26I have no idea.
0:47:28 > 0:47:29He doesn't remember you.
