His home is always here, if that's decided as best for him.

0:00:020:00:04

It's a decision for you and James alone.

0:00:040:00:05

I can only hope with all my heart that he remains.

0:00:050:00:10

For George's sake, don't do anything foolish.

0:00:100:00:13

Like beating the living daylights out of Sir bloody Richard?

0:00:130:00:16

It should be me having a go at him.

0:00:160:00:17

Jack, listen.

0:00:170:00:19

It shows more strength respecting Carolyn's wishes.

0:00:190:00:22

And I can dress him down with fewer consequences.

0:00:220:00:25

You treated your daughter like a slut for decades.

0:00:250:00:27

I only gave her one night of shame!

0:00:270:00:30

I am a fierce and vengeful god.

0:00:300:00:32

I now pronounce that they be man and wife.

0:00:320:00:35

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:350:00:36

Me catching the bouquet!

0:00:380:00:41

Oh, maybe you'll be next, eh, Doris?

0:00:410:00:43

Isn't he a wag, Dawn?

0:00:430:00:44

Mmm, that he is.

0:00:440:00:46

Where is the morphine?

0:00:460:00:48

Where is it?!

0:00:480:00:49

I'm so glad you saw my argument.

0:00:540:00:57

It's a drug that needs vigilance.

0:00:570:00:59

-It's pointless, him suffering.

-Exactly.

0:00:590:01:01

Have you found someone to look after the farm while you're away?

0:01:010:01:05

Mr Briggs has an excellent young man.

0:01:050:01:08

His name's Harry Polson.

0:01:080:01:09

We should look into that.

0:01:090:01:11

It's so wrong, keeping this from James.

0:01:110:01:13

She was going to talk to him about their employing Harry.

0:01:130:01:16

If you're not going to tell him, I am.

0:01:160:01:17

James is perfectly happy having forgotten.

0:01:170:01:20

Before Henry, I know there was Olivia's brother.

0:01:200:01:23

But has there ever been anyone else?

0:01:240:01:26

No.

0:01:260:01:28

James Bligh. Any friend of Sarah's is a friend of mine.

0:01:280:01:31

Harry. Polson.

0:01:310:01:33

Pleased to meet you.

0:01:330:01:34

You remember Harry. BUZZING

0:01:340:01:37

Hello, James.

0:01:370:01:38

Harry.

0:01:390:01:41

TRIUMPHANT FANFARE PLAYS ON RADIO

0:01:540:01:56

Did you set this up?

0:02:010:02:03

Places to go, things to do.

0:02:040:02:05

Up you get, Mrs Duncan.

0:02:060:02:09

If you keep calling me that,

0:02:090:02:10

this marriage will be shorter than the honeymoon.

0:02:100:02:14

I reckon we can meet up with Douglas and fit in a Bondi picnic

0:02:140:02:17

-before we hit the road.

-Or just stay here all morning.

0:02:170:02:20

First shower, Mrs D?

0:02:210:02:24

SHE GUFFAWS

0:02:240:02:27

You know your patients only pretend to like you?

0:02:270:02:30

Apparently, a heckler shouted out,

0:02:420:02:44

"I wouldn't vote for you if you were the Archangel Gabriel."

0:02:440:02:46

Quick as a wink, he comes back with, "If I was the Archangel Gabriel,

0:02:460:02:49

"you wouldn't be in my constituents."

0:02:490:02:51

THEY CHUCKLE

0:02:510:02:52

And soon, you will be dishing it out with the best of them.

0:02:520:02:55

More like the new boy in school trying not to get in the way.

0:02:550:02:58

We want you to get in the way, remember?

0:02:580:03:00

While I think of it, my contact telephone numbers in Canberra.

0:03:010:03:04

Mmm. A parliamentary office.

0:03:070:03:09

I'm told the dimensions of a broom cupboard.

0:03:090:03:12

Keep a journal, won't you?

0:03:120:03:14

You'll need it for your memoir.

0:03:140:03:17

I don't think anyone will be interested in that.

0:03:170:03:19

Your children will be.

0:03:190:03:20

-One day.

-Hmm.

0:03:220:03:23

Next time we see each other...

0:03:250:03:28

-Yes.

-A new healthy baby and a healthy you.

0:03:280:03:32

Make sure Jack telephones me, please.

0:03:320:03:34

As long as you promise not to race back straightaway.

0:03:340:03:37

That would be your natural instinct, I know,

0:03:370:03:39

but I've thought about this a lot.

0:03:390:03:40

It has to be low-key, George.

0:03:420:03:44

It's my baby. As soon as it seems like a Bligh event,

0:03:450:03:47

questions will be asked and the gossip begins.

0:03:470:03:50

No fireworks displays outside the hospital.

0:03:500:03:52

Promise.

0:03:520:03:54

Promise me.

0:03:570:03:59

Not for a few weeks, at least.

0:04:010:04:03

Yes.

0:04:090:04:10

And so...

0:04:130:04:15

-..good luck.

-I'll do my best.

0:04:170:04:19

Yes, you will.

0:04:210:04:22

Not by might, nor by power, but by spirit.

0:04:240:04:29

-What's that from?

-Zachariah.

0:04:290:04:32

I have to get to work.

0:04:320:04:33

Harry Polson.

0:05:000:05:02

The planning days last year are a good guide.

0:05:070:05:09

Those sections over there, they can lay fallow.

0:05:090:05:12

Plant mustard, maybe?

0:05:120:05:14

Yeah.

0:05:140:05:15

That's what I was thinking.

0:05:150:05:17

You happy to start today?

0:05:180:05:19

Good-o.

0:05:220:05:23

Should be in good shape for when you get back.

0:05:260:05:28

Bravissimo, bravissimo.

0:05:280:05:29

-You eat spaghetti? For lunch?

-Only if it's authentic.

0:05:290:05:32

-Out of the tin?

-Well, what other kind is there?

0:05:320:05:34

-I'll get Anna to put it in a tin, how's that?

-Now you're talking.

0:05:340:05:36

I'll meet you round the back paddock,

0:05:360:05:38

-I'm just going to grab some tools.

-Yeah.

0:05:380:05:39

Oh, Harry.

0:05:410:05:43

-Mrs Poletti.

-Oh, call me Anna.

0:05:430:05:46

Hey, could I have... Could I have a moment?

0:05:460:05:49

Um...

0:05:500:05:52

You and my brother, you were...

0:05:520:05:54

..quite close.

0:05:550:05:57

-Does Gino know?

-No.

0:06:000:06:02

I'm just planning on keeping my head down.

0:06:050:06:08

Your brother has his own life.

0:06:080:06:10

-I'd never do anything to interfere with that.

-No,

0:06:100:06:13

I'm really hoping that you'll stay on here when we come back.

0:06:130:06:17

Well, let's see what I make of it first.

0:06:170:06:19

I think it may be good for James.

0:06:190:06:21

You see, Gino, he, um...

0:06:230:06:26

likes you already, but...

0:06:260:06:27

..he has a lot of trouble accepting my brother.

0:06:280:06:31

With your permission, down the track,

0:06:310:06:33

I'd like to be able to tell him that you're...

0:06:330:06:35

..like James.

0:06:370:06:38

I think it may help him see things differently.

0:06:390:06:42

I suppose the worst thing that can happen is he'll knock my block off.

0:06:450:06:48

No! No.

0:06:480:06:49

It wouldn't be the first time.

0:06:490:06:52

Harry!

0:06:520:06:54

Ready?

0:06:540:06:55

Sorry.

0:07:040:07:06

Oh, my apologies. I'm living like a Gypsy.

0:07:150:07:19

Thank you so very much for making a house call on such short notice.

0:07:190:07:22

Have you ever been to Canberra?

0:07:230:07:25

One must prepare as if for an expedition to the back of beyond.

0:07:250:07:28

May I offer you a cool drink?

0:07:280:07:30

I'm fine, thank you.

0:07:300:07:31

Thank you so very much for making a house call on short notice.

0:07:310:07:34

Oh, that won't be needed.

0:07:340:07:36

-Is Mr Bligh...?

-Not yet arrived.

0:07:360:07:39

Now, you know as well as I that he is stoic.

0:07:390:07:43

But he does require further supplies of his painkiller.

0:07:430:07:45

I'll write a note for Mr Bligh's GP in Canberra.

0:07:470:07:49

He'll prescribe it if it's needed.

0:07:490:07:51

If you could leave a parcel at reception

0:07:510:07:53

along with additional prescriptions,

0:07:530:07:55

he would be very much in your debt.

0:07:550:07:57

I'm afraid I can't do that,

0:08:000:08:02

unless I examine Mr Bligh.

0:08:020:08:04

Mr Bligh is a very proud man.

0:08:090:08:11

As am I.

0:08:130:08:15

You're a very successful surgeon with an even more promising future.

0:08:180:08:22

Do you ever wonder what the sound would be like?

0:08:240:08:27

If it all came crashing down?

0:08:280:08:31

The Board of Surgeons would take a very dim view

0:08:340:08:37

of your sodomite activities.

0:08:370:08:39

How very tragic it would be.

0:08:460:08:47

Mrs Bligh...

0:08:510:08:52

HE CLEARS THROAT

0:08:520:08:54

..morphine is a drug of dependency.

0:08:540:08:56

It is useful post-surgery,

0:08:580:08:59

it is dangerous as a support for everyday life.

0:08:590:09:01

I'll be sure to let Mr Bligh know.

0:09:050:09:07

HE PLAYS CHORD

0:09:110:09:14

The Elizabeth Bligh piano.

0:09:140:09:16

I can see her here, with her sleeves rolled up.

0:09:160:09:19

She'll be so pleased that we came.

0:09:210:09:23

So am I.

0:09:230:09:24

Well, she's certainly not a fair-weather friend, unlike some.

0:09:250:09:29

Sorry, sorry. I've just had better mornings.

0:09:300:09:34

-Tea?

-We don't need tea.

0:09:340:09:36

You do what you need to do.

0:09:360:09:37

Oh, no, it's all right, I'm fine.

0:09:370:09:39

It's just that this morning...

0:09:390:09:42

..two big Sydney families

0:09:430:09:44

who have backed this place from the beginning,

0:09:440:09:46

even talked about extending it into a residence,

0:09:460:09:49

just suddenly pulled out.

0:09:490:09:51

Out of the blue!

0:09:510:09:53

It's not as if they hadn't made a pretty penny this year.

0:09:530:09:56

It might make up a shortfall, of course.

0:09:560:09:58

It's just that the spirit of the place

0:09:580:10:00

is all about the well-to-do giving something back.

0:10:000:10:03

Two prominent upper-crust families

0:10:070:10:09

suddenly bail out of their funding pledges.

0:10:090:10:12

Yes, it's got Sir Mongrel written all over it.

0:10:120:10:15

I don't want to think this way.

0:10:150:10:17

He's out to punish Elizabeth.

0:10:170:10:19

It's not the grand single battle that wins a war,

0:10:190:10:22

it's small victories on many fronts.

0:10:220:10:24

And the worst thing about this is, even if he isn't behind this,

0:10:250:10:29

we are talking about him.

0:10:290:10:30

He's invaded our lives again.

0:10:300:10:33

-He's won.

-Hey.

0:10:330:10:34

Not if I can help it.

0:10:350:10:37

Mr Smith goes to Canberra.

0:10:470:10:49

An MP to his toes.

0:10:500:10:52

Not yet.

0:10:520:10:54

My heart specialist really is a rotter.

0:10:540:10:56

I did so want to see your swearing-in.

0:10:560:10:58

You'll be there in spirit.

0:10:580:11:00

-I know that.

-You must write and tell me all about it.

0:11:000:11:03

-And do give my best to Lady Slim.

-Of course.

0:11:040:11:07

Now, this folder is for you.

0:11:080:11:09

Recent articles and interviews with some of your opponents.

0:11:120:11:16

Don't let yourself be manipulated, George.

0:11:180:11:20

Especially by the Liberals.

0:11:200:11:23

With Jack away, I've asked Sarah to look in on you.

0:11:230:11:25

-Oh, there's no need.

-Well, I've done it.

0:11:250:11:27

George...

0:11:280:11:29

..if I should...

0:11:310:11:32

..shuffle off this mortal coil in your absence...

0:11:330:11:36

-Mother, please.

-..I am prepared.

0:11:360:11:38

I've had a good innings.

0:11:400:11:41

We're at the Australia tonight if you need anything.

0:11:520:11:54

Come outside and wave me off.

0:11:560:11:57

Dining with anyone tonight?

0:12:010:12:03

Sir Richard, actually.

0:12:030:12:05

Lovely.

0:12:060:12:07

Say bye-bye!

0:12:090:12:10

Bye-bye! We'll miss you!

0:12:100:12:12

And here's Grandpa!

0:12:140:12:16

Can you say, "Bye-bye, Grandpa"?

0:12:160:12:18

Is that a smile?

0:12:190:12:21

Is that a smile for Grandpa?

0:12:210:12:22

What's this, Georgie?

0:12:240:12:26

-What's this?

-Is it Mr Sheep?

0:12:260:12:28

THEY CHUCKLE

0:12:280:12:30

Bye-bye, Georgie. Grandpa's going to miss you.

0:12:300:12:33

You be a good boy for me, now.

0:12:340:12:37

If it's not too much trouble,

0:12:370:12:39

could you maybe get my beads blessed by the Pope?

0:12:390:12:42

Just hold them up at a Mass.

0:12:420:12:44

I'd be the first in my family.

0:12:440:12:45

Senz'altro, Rosa.

0:12:450:12:48

I'll bring them back with an Italian husband!

0:12:480:12:51

Buon viaggio.

0:12:510:12:53

Keep an eye on those politicians, huh?

0:12:530:12:55

Gino, my best to Amo and Carla.

0:12:560:13:00

Lots of research on the vino.

0:13:000:13:01

Not too much of the sampling.

0:13:010:13:04

-Too right.

-See you all soon.

0:13:040:13:06

ELIZABETH: Bye-bye, son. ANNA: Bye, Papa.

0:13:060:13:09

-Will you come in for tea?

-Thank you, but we can't.

0:13:180:13:21

-Got to get back to work.

-Of course.

0:13:210:13:23

Anna. Can I have a word?

0:13:260:13:28

I know what you were doing the other day.

0:13:300:13:33

Trying to kick-start my memory.

0:13:330:13:34

-I've remembered.

-What are you going to do?

0:13:360:13:39

Just keep it to myself.

0:13:430:13:45

He'll be staying here a while.

0:13:450:13:46

He's agreed to mind the farm.

0:13:460:13:48

Is that OK with you?

0:13:480:13:50

-Of course.

-James, are you sure?

0:13:510:13:53

It's fine.

0:13:530:13:54

Absolutely fine.

0:13:560:13:57

Old Ma Bligh's pretty crook, eh?

0:14:010:14:03

Don't change the subject.

0:14:030:14:05

You need some privacy.

0:14:050:14:07

Anyway...

0:14:090:14:11

you can't court Dawn if I'm living here.

0:14:110:14:13

Who says I want to court Dawn?

0:14:130:14:15

Admit it, there's a spark between you two.

0:14:150:14:17

And Harry can't cook to save his life.

0:14:180:14:20

And what about the gossipmongers?

0:14:200:14:22

You and a handsome fella shacked up together.

0:14:220:14:24

I share a house with you.

0:14:240:14:26

-He's young.

-I'm a pregnant woman!

0:14:260:14:28

-And anyway, he's a...

-Well, they're not to know that!

0:14:280:14:31

And you don't need any more BS flying around.

0:14:310:14:33

You'd better straighten Doris out,

0:14:330:14:34

because the tongue waggers will take their cue from her.

0:14:340:14:37

If I were you, I'd be straightening her out about you and Dawn.

0:14:370:14:40

See you, Lucky!

0:14:460:14:48

LUCKY WHINES

0:14:480:14:49

Much better.

0:14:560:14:57

I think I know why.

0:14:580:15:00

And if our well-laid plans come to fruition, one day,

0:15:010:15:04

that woman will leave this house accompanied by the police.

0:15:040:15:08

Now, these are for you.

0:15:080:15:11

-For me?

-Olivia and I picked out some of Georgie's baby clothes.

0:15:110:15:15

Things that either a boy or girl could wear.

0:15:150:15:18

And some nappies, just to start you off.

0:15:180:15:21

I do hope you're not offended.

0:15:210:15:23

-No, not at all.

-Oh, I'm so pleased.

0:15:230:15:25

They are in excellent condition.

0:15:250:15:27

Thank you.

0:15:270:15:29

And...

0:15:290:15:30

..for his or her first winter.

0:15:320:15:35

Big enough to grow into, I hope.

0:15:350:15:37

I will do a few more, and some bonnets.

0:15:370:15:40

-Elizabeth, that's...

-And I would like you to select a pram

0:15:400:15:43

from the David Jones catalogue. As a gift from me.

0:15:430:15:45

Elizabeth, I...

0:15:450:15:46

I've already reminded George that I don't want any undue attention.

0:15:480:15:51

I can't accept expensive gifts from anyone from this family.

0:15:520:15:56

You of all people will want to prevent a scandal.

0:15:560:15:59

Most importantly...

0:16:010:16:02

..when the baby arrives, I will telephone George in due course.

0:16:050:16:09

I was...

0:16:090:16:11

very firm with him about this and he's agreed, so, please,

0:16:110:16:13

promise me you'll respect that?

0:16:130:16:15

You have my word.

0:16:170:16:18

But you will accept my handiwork.

0:16:200:16:22

I may not be here next winter, but these will.

0:16:220:16:25

Oh, I'm being practical, not maudlin.

0:16:260:16:29

SHE CHUCKLES

0:16:320:16:33

What's this?

0:16:380:16:39

It's from Douglas.

0:16:480:16:49

I'm so sorry to disturb you on your honeymoon.

0:16:500:16:53

I just don't want to talk to Lizzie about this.

0:16:530:16:55

No problem at all.

0:16:550:16:57

After you left this morning, I telephoned some other loyal patrons.

0:16:580:17:02

Donald and Audrey Eggleton.

0:17:020:17:03

Point Piper.

0:17:030:17:05

Sir Richard Bennett has been in their ear.

0:17:050:17:08

Apparently, I'm supposed to have

0:17:080:17:09

some sort of open cheque book with Elizabeth

0:17:090:17:12

and any other donations are surplus to requirements.

0:17:120:17:14

I just thought, seeing as he's a family friend,

0:17:160:17:19

you might know what to make of it.

0:17:190:17:21

This obviously isn't a surprise to either of you.

0:17:240:17:27

-It's complicated.

-I...

0:17:290:17:30

..stood up to him,

0:17:310:17:33

Sir Richard, over something...

0:17:330:17:35

he did to me when I was working for him...

0:17:350:17:38

The details aren't important.

0:17:380:17:39

But now things have escalated.

0:17:410:17:42

Mother confronted him as well.

0:17:430:17:45

If it was up to me, I'd take the first opportunity

0:17:450:17:48

-to punch his lights out.

-Well, thankfully, it's not.

0:17:480:17:50

I think Sir Richard is targeting this place

0:17:540:17:56

in order to get at Mother.

0:17:560:17:58

If you were to tell her about the donors,

0:17:590:18:02

she'd sever all ties to protect these men.

0:18:020:18:04

She'd be utterly miserable, of course,

0:18:050:18:07

which I'm sure is his intention.

0:18:070:18:09

-I know it sounds crazy...

-Well, I'll just set him straight.

0:18:100:18:12

He's not an easy man to get.

0:18:120:18:15

Does George know anything about this side of him?

0:18:150:18:17

No.

0:18:170:18:19

And it has to stay that way.

0:18:190:18:20

If these men knew what he was up to, he wouldn't know what hit him.

0:18:200:18:23

Stop, no more talk of violence.

0:18:230:18:25

A good belting's the only thing he'll understand.

0:18:290:18:32

No, you've got to be smarter than that.

0:18:320:18:35

On his knees, begging for mercy.

0:18:350:18:37

That's what I want to see.

0:18:380:18:40

Mr Bligh.

0:19:280:19:30

Mr Polson.

0:19:300:19:32

Looks like you got your work cut out for you.

0:19:370:19:40

It'll be good when it's done.

0:19:400:19:42

Smoke?

0:19:430:19:45

I'm all right, thanks.

0:19:450:19:46

He's not a bad farmer, Gino.

0:19:470:19:49

Got his head screwed on all right.

0:19:500:19:52

Well, anything you need, tractor, hand or two...

0:19:540:19:56

..just let me know.

0:19:580:19:59

Main thing is we get some rain before too long.

0:20:020:20:04

As I said,

0:20:070:20:08

don't hesitate.

0:20:080:20:09

You got a tick there, Doris?

0:20:270:20:28

Oh, certainly, Mr Briggs.

0:20:280:20:30

Just wanted to let you know about some changes over at my place.

0:20:300:20:33

Mainly so that if anyone gets in your ear,

0:20:330:20:36

you can tell them to mind their business.

0:20:360:20:38

Indeed.

0:20:380:20:40

Well, look, I might need some more information

0:20:400:20:43

to form an entire picture.

0:20:430:20:45

-Well, you know how young Harry's moving out to the Polettis' for a while?

-Yes, I do.

0:20:450:20:49

Well, Sarah's moving out there with him.

0:20:490:20:52

Just to keep him company.

0:20:520:20:53

All above board. Friends, like.

0:20:530:20:55

-In case anyone starts gossiping.

-Right.

0:20:560:20:59

-She reckons it would be good for me to have the place to myself for a while.

-Oh.

0:20:590:21:03

Encourage me not to...hold back with a certain lady.

0:21:030:21:07

A certain widowed lady in the district.

0:21:080:21:12

And I don't want you to be hearing no gossip about that neither.

0:21:130:21:16

Well, of course not. That's very thoughtful of Mrs Nordmann.

0:21:160:21:21

Very wise.

0:21:220:21:24

You know, you can be round someone all the time and then suddenly,

0:21:240:21:28

you see them in a different way.

0:21:280:21:30

-Yep.

-A man's not an island.

0:21:300:21:33

No.

0:21:330:21:34

Nor no woman neither, when it's all boiled down.

0:21:350:21:38

So, anyway...

0:21:400:21:41

..Doris, would you...

0:21:430:21:44

Would you like me to give you a hand with these?

0:21:470:21:50

Oh, just pop them in the, um, storage for now,

0:21:510:21:57

-if you'd be so kind?

-No worries.

0:21:570:21:59

Once again, thank you both for visiting the refuge.

0:22:090:22:13

Douglas would have been pleased.

0:22:130:22:15

-He was.

-And do discuss my suggestion with Jack.

0:22:150:22:19

Could be rather jolly.

0:22:200:22:22

I certainly will.

0:22:220:22:23

Thank you, Mother. Bye-bye.

0:22:230:22:25

Think you got the gist of that.

0:22:280:22:30

Live at Ash Park?

0:22:300:22:31

She sounded so...

0:22:330:22:34

frail.

0:22:340:22:36

She'll be lonely once Olivia goes.

0:22:360:22:38

It makes sense in terms of her health, but...

0:22:390:22:42

..we're getting a home of our own.

0:22:430:22:45

Just for now.

0:22:450:22:46

Staff to cook you breakfast, never mind how early.

0:22:480:22:53

You wouldn't have to lift a finger.

0:22:530:22:56

Isn't that why we got hitched, Mrs D?

0:22:560:22:58

I'll just...have to go easy on the mother-in-law jokes.

0:23:020:23:05

You're a good man.

0:23:080:23:10

And when George and the dragon return?

0:23:120:23:14

We run screaming naked down the driveway.

0:23:140:23:17

Perhaps we should telephone Douglas.

0:23:190:23:22

Mother mentioned Sir Richard, where he's dining tonight.

0:23:220:23:25

Livvy.

0:23:540:23:55

I've remembered him.

0:23:570:23:58

Harry Polson.

0:24:010:24:02

And I went to see him.

0:24:050:24:06

I don't know how to be with him.

0:24:090:24:13

Have him calling me Mr Bligh as if he were a stranger to me.

0:24:130:24:16

-Aren't you doing that to protect yourself?

-It's...

0:24:180:24:21

It doesn't matter.

0:24:240:24:26

I can't explain.

0:24:290:24:30

I have an idea.

0:24:320:24:33

Let's get you out of your funk.

0:24:340:24:37

Run away to the city. Go to one of those bohemian restaurants

0:24:370:24:40

we always say we should go into.

0:24:400:24:42

Why not?

0:24:430:24:44

Catch up with Henry, if he has time.

0:24:460:24:48

Good.

0:24:490:24:51

I need to make things right with Harry.

0:24:560:24:58

Then you should know that he came here to talk to us all.

0:25:020:25:07

Oi, Harry!

0:25:240:25:25

Oi.

0:25:270:25:28

You remember.

0:25:410:25:42

How's it going, Harry?

0:25:430:25:45

Not bad, James.

0:25:480:25:49

You've been through a fair bit.

0:25:510:25:52

You too.

0:25:540:25:56

Beer one night after work?

0:26:020:26:04

My shout.

0:26:040:26:05

Ah! Ooh, Sister Nordmann!

0:26:160:26:18

Oh, yes, Doris?

0:26:180:26:19

A woman-to-woman chat, if I may?

0:26:190:26:21

I won't take up too much of your time.

0:26:210:26:23

As you are aware, I caught the bouquet at Dr Duncan's wedding.

0:26:250:26:31

I never dreamed it would have any repercussions,

0:26:310:26:33

but now it seems, at my age, I might have a tilt at happiness.

0:26:330:26:37

Now, Mr Briggs has told me of your thoughtfulness in affording him

0:26:370:26:42

some privacy to explore, let's say, matters of the heart.

0:26:420:26:46

Rest assured that should things develop...

0:26:470:26:50

I know I'm getting ahead of myself,

0:26:500:26:52

but I would never presume to take your place.

0:26:520:26:55

You and Mr Briggs have such a unique bond.

0:26:550:26:58

Well, this isn't getting the work done.

0:26:590:27:02

God strike me pink.

0:27:110:27:13

That woman would twist a telegraph pole if she wanted a bow in it.

0:27:130:27:16

That's not what I said!

0:27:160:27:17

-Not at all!

-She wouldn't want too romantic a courtship, Roy,

0:27:170:27:20

just something along the lines of From Here To Eternity or Casablanca?

0:27:200:27:25

She was having you on. For starters, I'm not her sort.

0:27:250:27:28

Oh, I think you could put your slippers under her bed any day.

0:27:280:27:30

Tell me she didn't say that.

0:27:300:27:32

You obviously hinted that you meant her.

0:27:320:27:34

I certainly did not!

0:27:340:27:35

I couldn't have. SHE CHUCKLES

0:27:350:27:38

Stop laughing! This is serious.

0:27:380:27:40

Jesus. LUCKY WHINES

0:27:400:27:41

We are flying the new Kangaroo tourist class.

0:27:470:27:50

It really does seem to be the way of the future.

0:27:500:27:52

I have to concede that now.

0:27:520:27:53

First stop is Darwin and then Singapore overnight

0:27:530:27:57

and then we stop in Calcutta, Karachi...

0:27:570:27:59

-Tripoli?

-Tripoli...

0:27:590:28:01

No, Cairo overnight, Tripoli and then Rome.

0:28:010:28:03

It's practically straight there!

0:28:030:28:05

And we have a window seat.

0:28:060:28:07

Does James need anything for this upset stomach?

0:28:070:28:10

It's easing off, but...

0:28:100:28:12

..thank you.

0:28:130:28:15

If I may propose a toast.

0:28:150:28:17

Thank you, both of you,

0:28:190:28:21

for agreeing to come and live at Ash Park for a little while.

0:28:210:28:24

Welcome, Jack.

0:28:240:28:25

- Please make yourself at home. - Thank you, Elizabeth.

0:28:250:28:28

And to my dear Mrs D.

0:28:300:28:32

Cease and desist.

0:28:320:28:34

THEY GIGGLE

0:28:340:28:36

And safe travels, Anna and Gino.

0:28:360:28:38

-ALL:

-Safe travels, Anna and Gino.

0:28:380:28:40

We will miss you all so much.

0:28:400:28:43

-A salute...a familia!

-Oh.

0:28:430:28:47

-ALL:

-A salute a familia!

0:28:470:28:50

"Familiar"?

0:28:500:28:52

Unfamiliar!

0:28:520:28:53

LAUGHTER

0:28:530:28:56

Thank you.

0:28:560:28:57

KNOCK AT DOOR Won't be a moment.

0:29:030:29:06

KNOCKING CONTINUES

0:29:160:29:18

Ready?

0:29:240:29:25

APPLAUSE

0:29:420:29:44

Your main priority...

0:30:050:30:07

Ta.

0:30:070:30:08

Your main priority is to ride over

0:30:080:30:11

all this bulldust that our coal markets are shrinking.

0:30:110:30:14

Your response, George,

0:30:140:30:15

is that this state can find markets outside the country.

0:30:150:30:18

There's a great wide bloody world out there!

0:30:180:30:21

If it wasn't for the communist strikes, we would be able to...

0:30:210:30:24

Remind them of that, George.

0:30:240:30:25

And that Inverness will produce high-quality coal,

0:30:250:30:28

none of that brown coal muck, oh.

0:30:280:30:31

Excuse me. I'm going to inspect the convenience.

0:30:350:30:37

-Dessert?

-Why not?

0:30:410:30:43

-Sir Richard.

-Hmm?

-I run the Returned Soldiers Refuge.

0:30:440:30:47

Oh, my wife handles all the charity stuff.

0:30:470:30:49

I wanted to give you the chance to explain.

0:30:490:30:52

Some of my donors say they've had a call from you telling them

0:30:520:30:55

-to sever all ties.

-Well, I can't stop people taking my advice.

0:30:550:30:58

These are some of the most disadvantaged men in our city.

0:30:580:31:01

They fought a war for this country.

0:31:010:31:03

They've got sweet bugger all. That place is keeping them alive.

0:31:030:31:06

I know you want me to go all boo-hoo-hoo-hoo for them,

0:31:060:31:08

but jeez, mate!

0:31:080:31:10

The war's over nine years and most men I know

0:31:100:31:12

have well and truly knuckled down. Are you going to let me pass?

0:31:120:31:16

We're talking about prisoners of war.

0:31:160:31:17

Men who have suffered mental torture!

0:31:170:31:19

Well, they were the dregs before they signed up.

0:31:190:31:21

Lucky for them the war came along and they finally got a job.

0:31:210:31:24

They are still the dregs.

0:31:240:31:25

Isn't that a surprise?

0:31:250:31:27

Aren't you the lucky fella?

0:31:280:31:30

The lovely Elizabeth Bligh.

0:31:300:31:32

You're right. There's only one thing a man like that understands.

0:31:370:31:42

I think there's a way for both of us to get what we want.

0:31:420:31:45

If a bloke can't have a good clean fight in what's...

0:31:450:31:48

HE CLEARS THROAT

0:31:480:31:50

Thanks, mate. Speak tomorrow?

0:31:510:31:53

No, you won't. Whoever that was, you won't.

0:31:550:31:58

-Listen...

-Anything you do,

0:31:580:32:00

that any of us do, simply inflames him and makes things worse.

0:32:000:32:03

I've held back too long.

0:32:030:32:06

This isn't some Boy's Own adventure, Jack.

0:32:060:32:08

I needed to stop this bastard and instead I walked away.

0:32:080:32:11

It happened to me.

0:32:110:32:12

And what happened to me is I turned into a gutless coward

0:32:120:32:15

who won't defend the woman he loves.

0:32:150:32:17

You gave your word you would keep away from him.

0:32:180:32:21

Yeah, well, I made a mistake.

0:32:210:32:22

The chap's took my balls once.

0:32:240:32:26

I'm not losing them a second time.

0:32:270:32:29

Man-to-man is the only thing that will...

0:32:310:32:33

put an end to it.

0:32:330:32:35

Where's Bear? Where's Bear?

0:32:370:32:40

Is Bear in the tree? Is Bear in the tree?

0:32:400:32:43

There's Bear! GEORGIE GIGGLES

0:32:430:32:45

Is Bear in the tree? Is Bear in the tree?

0:32:450:32:48

No, there's Bear! There's Bear.

0:32:480:32:52

How is our monkey?

0:32:520:32:54

We are taking Bear on an adventure.

0:32:540:32:57

You'd like to join us?

0:32:570:32:59

-Where's Bear? Where's Bear?

-Well,

0:33:000:33:02

adventurers go on the high seas.

0:33:020:33:06

Did you know that?

0:33:060:33:08

Adventurers go up!

0:33:080:33:10

And down and then up!

0:33:100:33:13

And they also go in big red balloons.

0:33:130:33:15

Do you know how high they go?

0:33:150:33:18

Wup! In the air!

0:33:180:33:19

-And down like this and brrrrp!

-GEORGIE LAUGHS

0:33:190:33:22

And down again.

0:33:220:33:24

INDISTINCT CHATTER AND LAUGHTER

0:33:260:33:28

Watching out for pirates and things!

0:33:330:33:36

Poor Mrs Collins.

0:33:360:33:38

She seemed so happy doing her rounds, I couldn't tell her.

0:33:380:33:40

But I suppose I'll have to bite the bullet sometime.

0:33:400:33:43

Well, where is Mr Briggs' sense of responsibility in all of this?

0:33:430:33:47

May I ask why it's up to you to rectify the situation?

0:33:470:33:50

He's mortified.

0:33:500:33:51

He's hiding under a log.

0:33:510:33:53

A predictable male response.

0:33:530:33:54

Now, if Roy were to talk to her again, he'd only make things worse.

0:33:540:33:57

She's such a kind soul.

0:33:570:33:59

I do hate to think of her being hurt.

0:33:590:34:01

Perhaps...

0:34:040:34:05

Perhaps it might be better if you spoke to her.

0:34:080:34:11

Well, she thinks so highly of you.

0:34:110:34:13

I really don't think so.

0:34:130:34:16

I do.

0:34:160:34:17

You know, recently,

0:34:190:34:21

I have had cause to reflect on times in my life

0:34:210:34:23

when people have not been honest with me.

0:34:230:34:27

Well, I'm very sorry to hear that.

0:34:270:34:30

They assumed, incorrectly,

0:34:300:34:31

that I had not been strong enough to bear the truth.

0:34:310:34:34

You? Of all people.

0:34:340:34:35

You and I are rather similar types in that regard, wouldn't you say?

0:34:370:34:40

Well, yes. I think indeed we are.

0:34:400:34:43

Which is why I feel that I can tell you the truth

0:34:450:34:49

in relation to Mr Briggs.

0:34:490:34:52

-What?

-Please don't get me wrong, he is a good man.

0:34:520:34:55

But he is...

0:34:550:34:56

..a man.

0:34:580:35:00

And they are so very prone to bumbling, are they not?

0:35:000:35:02

Oh... Yes, I suppose they are.

0:35:030:35:07

I believe that he confided in you

0:35:070:35:09

that he was intending to court a lady?

0:35:090:35:11

Er, yes. Yes, he did.

0:35:120:35:14

Well, he could do that because you and he are such friends.

0:35:140:35:19

Such solid...

0:35:190:35:21

platonic friends.

0:35:210:35:22

I know that he values your friendship very, very much.

0:35:230:35:26

Tell me, Mrs Bligh, did I misconstrue?

0:35:270:35:30

The blame lies squarely with Mr Briggs.

0:35:340:35:37

He... He did mean another lady?

0:35:370:35:40

-He did.

-Who is the lady?

0:35:410:35:43

I'm not sure that you need to bother yourself with that.

0:35:450:35:47

Well, to be quite honest, Mrs Bligh...

0:35:490:35:51

..I was beginning to wonder when I'd find the time to be courted.

0:35:530:35:56

Yes, well, indeed, you are a woman with much on her plate.

0:35:570:36:00

Many of us wonder how on earth you achieve so much.

0:36:000:36:03

Mrs Bligh,

0:36:070:36:10

may I thank you very much for taking the time and trouble to tell me.

0:36:100:36:17

For you, Mrs Collins, any time.

0:36:170:36:19

We girls must stick together.

0:36:200:36:23

Mm.

0:36:230:36:24

Would you be so kind as to walk me to my car?

0:36:300:36:32

-Oh, no, that's a complete pleasure.

-Thank you.

0:36:320:36:35

Tell me, are my cheeks burning?

0:36:450:36:48

You look very composed.

0:36:500:36:51

How very wise.

0:37:270:37:28

Please don't contact me again.

0:37:300:37:31

No, no, no. That's not how this works.

0:37:310:37:35

KNOCK AT DOOR

0:37:350:37:36

Just wondering if...

0:37:450:37:47

-Henry.

-George.

0:37:490:37:51

Good to see you.

0:37:520:37:54

Now you can tell him in person.

0:37:540:37:56

Mr Fox was just about to leave you a note.

0:37:560:37:58

Just to wish you all the very best for Canberra.

0:37:590:38:02

That's very kind. It's much appreciated.

0:38:030:38:05

You'll come to dinner, Mr Fox, as soon as we're back in civilisation?

0:38:050:38:09

I'll hold you to that, I'm sure.

0:38:100:38:12

It's nice to see you, Henry.

0:38:120:38:13

Well, even if I approved, which I do not,

0:38:390:38:43

I don't understand why you've involved yourself in this.

0:38:430:38:45

You should tell her.

0:38:470:38:49

Sir Richard has threatened the refuge.

0:38:490:38:51

-In what way?!

-You don't need the details,

0:38:520:38:55

but he's certainly been effective.

0:38:550:38:56

He's a sniper, picking off his donors one by one.

0:38:560:38:59

This is to get back at me.

0:39:020:39:03

He's picking off all of us.

0:39:030:39:05

He needs pulling up, hard.

0:39:050:39:06

One chance, that's all I want.

0:39:060:39:09

What you are proposing is actually illegal.

0:39:090:39:12

As far as I'm concerned, it's either this or a dark alley somewhere.

0:39:120:39:14

-Please, do we have to be so...?

-Yes! Yes, I do!

0:39:140:39:17

Carolyn, would this proposal help you to put things behind you

0:39:210:39:27

or simply cause you more pain?

0:39:270:39:28

I'm not sure.

0:39:300:39:31

I certainly don't want Jack feeling...

0:39:320:39:35

I don't know.

0:39:360:39:38

Elizabeth. All we need is for you to make a telephone call.

0:39:410:39:45

Then leave the rest to us.

0:39:460:39:48

-SIR RICHARD ON PHONE:

-'All ears, Your Ladyship.'

0:39:560:39:58

Are you by any chance free this evening?

0:39:580:40:00

'Well, if it's an invite to the opera, no, thanks.

0:40:000:40:02

'I don't touch the stuff.'

0:40:020:40:03

I would like you to come to Ash Park.

0:40:030:40:05

There is something that we need to discuss, urgently.

0:40:050:40:08

'Some of us have newspapers to get out on the streets.'

0:40:080:40:11

Please.

0:40:110:40:12

Don't make me beg.

0:40:120:40:14

RICHARD CHUCKLES ON PHONE

0:40:140:40:16

ACCORDION MUSIC

0:40:200:40:22

-Mmm.

-Grazie.

0:40:230:40:25

How's that dish?

0:40:250:40:26

Excuse me.

0:40:270:40:29

SHE CHUCKLES

0:40:290:40:31

Do you have a big day tomorrow, Henry?

0:40:310:40:33

I've been invited to assist on a new heart operation.

0:40:330:40:37

Mitral valve surgery.

0:40:370:40:38

That's great.

0:40:380:40:40

I do so envy you.

0:40:420:40:43

Well, both of you, of course.

0:40:440:40:46

Having careers that keep you engaged,

0:40:460:40:50

new advances happening all the time.

0:40:500:40:52

Actually, you know, there's talk of a new surgical wing in Inverness.

0:40:520:40:55

I was thinking you might throw your hat in the ring.

0:40:550:40:58

Maybe.

0:41:000:41:01

Would you... Would you excuse me for a moment?

0:41:030:41:06

-I need to telephone in.

-We passed a telephone box just round the corner.

0:41:060:41:09

Good.

0:41:100:41:12

He is probably just anxious about the surgery.

0:41:190:41:22

Here's to our complicated lives.

0:41:270:41:30

And it seems like the right time to say this.

0:41:400:41:43

When I leave for London...

0:41:470:41:48

..Georgie should...

0:41:500:41:51

..must stay with you.

0:41:530:41:58

Livvy...

0:41:580:41:59

Our son deserves an extended family who knows him...

0:41:590:42:03

..and loves him.

0:42:040:42:05

The wide-open spaces...

0:42:070:42:09

..the fresh air.

0:42:110:42:12

And you.

0:42:150:42:16

His father.

0:42:180:42:20

This means everything to me.

0:42:280:42:30

I just thought it best to tell you now, in public.

0:42:350:42:40

That way I...

0:42:400:42:42

I can't cry.

0:42:420:42:43

Nothing is to happen.

0:42:550:42:56

No-one is to enter the room unless I ring the bell.

0:42:560:42:59

-Is that understood?

-Of course.

0:42:590:43:01

Yes.

0:43:040:43:05

I hope I don't have to.

0:43:060:43:08

But if I do, he is yours.

0:43:090:43:13

Say, Emma,

0:43:170:43:19

you reckon I could have some more of your beautiful mashed potatoes?

0:43:190:43:22

OK.

0:43:220:43:23

Because when Sarah makes them they're all lumpy.

0:43:270:43:30

THEY CHUCKLE

0:43:300:43:32

So, are you hoping for a boy or a girl?

0:43:380:43:40

It feels like a girl.

0:43:410:43:43

If the last few weeks are anything to go by,

0:43:440:43:46

I think I'm going to have to call her Joy.

0:43:460:43:48

She seems like such a happy baby.

0:43:480:43:50

Well, I think you'll be a really happy mum.

0:43:510:43:53

Thank you, I hope so.

0:43:530:43:55

Ah!

0:43:550:43:56

Hey, Emma, you want to come over here

0:43:580:44:00

and feel the baby somersaulting?

0:44:000:44:02

-Am I allowed?

-Of course you are, you silly sausage.

0:44:020:44:05

It's just here.

0:44:070:44:08

Here she is.

0:44:080:44:10

Oh!

0:44:100:44:11

Don't be scared. There you go.

0:44:130:44:17

Isn't that amazing?

0:44:190:44:20

All right, then.

0:44:260:44:28

Let's reach an accommodation, as you call it.

0:44:280:44:30

And if it's one that includes protecting me

0:44:300:44:33

from any more random knife attacks, then, gee, whillikers,

0:44:330:44:35

it sounds like a start - where do you sign me up?

0:44:350:44:37

-This isn't a joke, Sir Richard.

-Damn right it isn't.

0:44:370:44:40

You've been determined to make me feel like a piece of dog shit

0:44:410:44:45

stuck to the sole of a shoe.

0:44:450:44:47

Please stop harassing my family and people close to me.

0:44:470:44:50

If you apologise.

0:44:500:44:52

I am very sorry for injuring you.

0:44:530:44:56

"And I'm sorry for making you feel like scum."

0:44:570:45:00

I had just discovered what you had done to my daughter!

0:45:000:45:03

-That's old news.

-And I was in extremis.

0:45:030:45:05

I did what any mother would do.

0:45:050:45:06

Surely you understand why!

0:45:060:45:08

You just discovered your little girl wasn't a vestal virgin

0:45:080:45:11

and you took it out on me.

0:45:110:45:12

Will you admit that what you did to her was monstrous,

0:45:120:45:16

whatever her history?

0:45:160:45:17

This might come as a shock to you...

0:45:190:45:20

..but what went on between us goes on most nights in houses

0:45:210:45:25

all around the globe on a regular basis.

0:45:250:45:28

And some mornings, if a fella's lucky.

0:45:290:45:31

Long drive for a life lesson, but there you are.

0:45:330:45:35

Our families are always going to be crossing paths, Sir Richard.

0:45:370:45:40

We need to resolve this.

0:45:400:45:42

I will let bygones be bygones

0:45:420:45:44

when you and your daughter stop implying I'm a rapist.

0:45:440:45:47

Oh, I'm not IMPLYING that you are.

0:45:480:45:50

If I'm a rapist,

0:45:530:45:55

how is it I can go out to dinner with young Anna? Lovely evening.

0:45:550:45:59

I wouldn't dream of touching her.

0:45:590:46:01

With Carolyn, it was different.

0:46:020:46:05

She spent the whole night flirting with me and her dance card

0:46:050:46:09

was well and truly open for business.

0:46:090:46:11

-Don't be so crude!

-And then her fiance turns up and she panics -

0:46:110:46:14

"Oh, he'll see me for the tart I am!"

0:46:140:46:17

He married her. What's the problem?

0:46:180:46:21

For the last time,

0:46:210:46:23

admit you forced yourself on her.

0:46:230:46:26

Or you will do what?

0:46:330:46:35

We can't move forward until you admit one thing.

0:46:380:46:41

You look me in the eye and tell me what we both know.

0:46:430:46:46

That your daughter is a slut.

0:46:470:46:49

You admit she's a slut and we can all play nice from now on.

0:46:500:46:54

Otherwise, I'd keep my heart pills close by.

0:46:580:47:02

Last chance.

0:47:060:47:08

Slut, or not? Hmm?

0:47:080:47:10

BELL TINKLES

0:47:160:47:19

What on Earth do you think you're going to accomplish by this?

0:47:270:47:30

This is for my wife.

0:47:360:47:38

You're joking. Who do you think you are?

0:47:380:47:41

One-on-one, like a man?

0:47:420:47:44

Or let the "dregs" take care of you?

0:47:460:47:48

Yeah, they know what you think of them.

0:47:480:47:50

They are raring to have a go.

0:47:500:47:53

I've gone a few rounds in my time.

0:47:530:47:54

University medal, as a matter of fact.

0:47:540:47:56

Me or them? It's up to you.

0:47:560:47:59

-MAN:

-Knock his flaming top off!

0:48:150:48:17

-MAN:

-Rip him in the kidneys!

0:48:180:48:20

THEY GRUNT

0:48:220:48:24

-Come inside.

-No.

0:48:260:48:29

Jack...

0:48:290:48:31

-EARS RINGING:

-Jack?

0:48:320:48:34

-You all right?

-Done?

0:48:340:48:36

No.

0:48:360:48:37

You had enough?

0:48:370:48:38

That's it! That's it!

0:48:410:48:43

Show him who's boss!

0:48:450:48:46

Jack, move away from the stairs!

0:48:490:48:52

-Oh!

-No. No.

0:48:580:49:01

Jack, are you all right?

0:49:040:49:05

Our work is done.

0:49:080:49:10

Hey.

0:49:170:49:19

HE GRUNTS

0:49:280:49:29

This stops here.

0:49:330:49:34

You take this further, you go to anyone, I will come after you.

0:49:370:49:41

Or they will.

0:49:410:49:43

And they'll finish you off.

0:49:430:49:46

They've got nothing left to lose.

0:49:460:49:47

And there's scores more like 'em to take their place.

0:49:490:49:52

-Do you hear me?

-HE GRUNTS

0:49:520:49:54

Get him out of here, boys, come on.

0:49:550:49:57

HE GROANS

0:50:000:50:02

HE PANTS

0:50:160:50:18

I understand.

0:50:250:50:27

Do you?

0:50:280:50:30

I do.

0:50:310:50:32

Come on.

0:50:350:50:37

KNOCK AT DOOR

0:50:400:50:42

Are you cross?

0:50:460:50:48

No.

0:50:480:50:49

SHE EXHALES

0:50:530:50:55

Are the men being looked after?

0:50:550:50:57

Oh, yes.

0:50:570:50:58

No man has ever done anything like that for me before.

0:51:000:51:02

Well, he's a very determined young man.

0:51:070:51:09

I didn't mean Jack.

0:51:100:51:12

I've never been able to acknowledge

0:51:150:51:17

that a man could be as strong as I am.

0:51:170:51:20

As I think I am.

0:51:200:51:21

Thank you.

0:51:250:51:26

Do you know, I've just realised, all this...

0:51:320:51:35

fatalism about my health...

0:51:350:51:37

..I really, really don't want to die.
