0:00:02 > 0:00:04He's a very impressive man, you make a handsome pair.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06We're just two individuals enjoying each other's company.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10Remember, you, me, Georgie, London.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Why don't I go on ahead?
0:00:12 > 0:00:14- To England?- By the time we face your family,
0:00:14 > 0:00:17I would be much more acceptable.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Georgie should...
0:00:20 > 0:00:21..stay with you.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24You certainly know how to surprise a girl.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27- Italy?- Mama and Papa will be over the moon.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29We're flying the new Kangaroo tourist class.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Cairo overnight, Tripoli and then Rome.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35- You'll be missed.- I'll be in Sydney for two days, at the Australia.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40It's a drug that needs vigilance.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42But it's pointless him suffering.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44If you could leave a parcel at reception
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- along with additional prescriptions. - I'm afraid I can't do that.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51You're a very successful surgeon with an even more promising future,
0:00:51 > 0:00:53do you ever wonder what the sound would be like
0:00:53 > 0:00:55if it all came crashing down?
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Going to need new clothes soon.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Oh, I'll be back.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03As soon as the baby's born.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05This country doesn't need a mother like her.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Make sure Jack telephones me, please.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10As long as you promise not to race back straightaway. It's my baby -
0:01:10 > 0:01:12as soon as it seems like a Bligh event,
0:01:12 > 0:01:15questions will be asked and the gossip begins.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18I've already reminded George that I don't want any undue attention,
0:01:18 > 0:01:21so please promise me you'll respect that.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31MUSIC: Mr Sandman by The Chordettes
0:01:31 > 0:01:36# Mr Sandman, bring me a dream
0:01:36 > 0:01:41# Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
0:01:41 > 0:01:45# Give him two lips like roses in clover
0:01:45 > 0:01:49# Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over
0:01:49 > 0:01:52# Sandman
0:01:52 > 0:01:54# I'm so alone
0:01:54 > 0:01:58# Don't have nobody to call my own
0:01:58 > 0:02:02# Please turn on your magic beam
0:02:02 > 0:02:06# Mr Sandman, bring me a dream
0:02:06 > 0:02:10# Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum bum-bum-bum-bum-bum
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- # Mr Sandman - Yes?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15# Bring us a dream
0:02:15 > 0:02:19# Give him a pair of eyes with a come-hither gleam
0:02:19 > 0:02:24# Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
0:02:24 > 0:02:29# And lots of wavy hair like Liberace
0:02:29 > 0:02:33# Mr Sandman, someone to hold
0:02:33 > 0:02:36# Would be so peachy before we're too old
0:02:36 > 0:02:41# So please turn on your magic beam
0:02:41 > 0:02:43# Mr Sandman, bring us

0:02:52 > 0:02:55SHE SCREAMS
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- You need to take some.- No.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07No, I won't. You know this, Jack.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09That was before we realised how long the labour was.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- We've both seen women... - A small dose to ease the pain.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13No.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Let's get you on the bed, please.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21I'm your doctor.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23Now.
0:03:30 > 0:03:31Only five centimetres.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- You're being stubborn, Sarah. - I will do this, I will.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Let's see how you go with a small dose of pethidine.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42- No!- Trilene, then.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44You'll have some distance from the pain
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- but you'll still feel the contractions.- How do you know?
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Trilene.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Your labour is progressing but it's slow.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- You'll be more comfortable. - I want to feel this.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57- GASPING:- Jack...
0:03:58 > 0:03:59SHE GROANS
0:04:00 > 0:04:02If the heart rate slows, we augment.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05SHE SCREAMS
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Mother, sorry to call you so early.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Yes, she is, since yesterday.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24I just thought you should know.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Jack's been with her through the night.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32There's nothing to be done but wait.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- What's that?- Doctor might decide to augment your contractions.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40- Syntocine.- I don't want it.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42The doctor ordered it on stand-by.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44It can cause hypoxia in babies.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Just given the length of your labour.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47It's too soon.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- Now...- The baby is coming too soon.
0:04:52 > 0:04:57- No.- Doctor said we need to give you some pain relief.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59SHE PANTS
0:05:01 > 0:05:06I would have brought you in some dinner last night if I'd only known.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08It's gone that well until now.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12She's in the best of hands with Dr Duncan, rest assured.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Mind you,
0:05:15 > 0:05:17after all she's been through.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Does it matter much? Three weeks early?
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Oh, do you know,
0:05:21 > 0:05:25some of the cleverest people in the world have been born premature?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27SARAH GROANS LOUDLY IN DISTANCE
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Oh!
0:05:33 > 0:05:34You know,
0:05:34 > 0:05:38the ladies say that once the baby's been born,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41the pain of childbirth is quite forgotten.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Not having been blessed with children myself,
0:05:43 > 0:05:45I'd have to take their word for it.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51I hope one day that you'll be sitting here, just like this,
0:05:51 > 0:05:56waiting for your own first-born to come into the world.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59SARAH SHRIEKS
0:05:59 > 0:06:01By the same token,
0:06:01 > 0:06:04she does seem to be taking a very long time.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08SHE GROANS
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- Mother!- Oh.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29Douglas is seeing to the car.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Those last few miles into town really are an absolute disgrace.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36I didn't mean you to come rushing straight down.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Such a long labour at her age does not augur well.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41I was going to telephone again once there was news.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Not with Mildred's big ears.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45I was only saying to Douglas the other day,
0:06:45 > 0:06:48I'm sure she listens in half the time.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50What's the latest from the hospital?
0:06:50 > 0:06:55Jack actually sounded very concerned, but that was a good few hours ago.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57George would want to be here.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58- No, you can't.- Oh!
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- No!- Well...
0:07:01 > 0:07:03I'll talk in code.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05You know that's not the issue.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07I'll stand here all day if I have to.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13I'll just get Doctor.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14How far am I?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Fully dilated. Won't be long now.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24SHE GROANS
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Thank you.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Oh, please, Carolyn, it was months ago.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44A promise doesn't expire until both parties agree.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46You are bossier than the matron I had at the Sydney Hospital,
0:07:46 > 0:07:48and let me tell you, that is saying something.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Everyone is different!
0:07:50 > 0:07:53It was almost 15 hours with Anna.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Look how she turned out.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Still off biscuits?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Yes.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02Knock-knock.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08I found these in the motor.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Oh, thank you so much.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I might need a pill after that trip.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15She had me driving like Stirling Moss to get here.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17No, I didn't.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20You were speeding because I was winning the argument.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22You'll be subscribing to the Socialist Weekly next.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- I already do.- I'll leave you to it.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28You promised.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Mind if I telephone the refuge? - No, we need to keep the line free.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Douglas, stay on the telephone as long as you need.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- SARAH YELLS - Push. Push.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Push. Stop now.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52She's not progressing. SHE BREATHES HEAVILY
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Baby's heart rate isn't picking up.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59I'm going to need her in stirrups, please.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- It's better like this, Jack. - Stirrups, now.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- Push. Push. Push. - SHE SCREAMS
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Stop now.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- I can't! I can't! - You have to.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- Still isn't picking up.- On the next push, I'll help the baby.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28MUTED SCREAMING
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Push, push, push! Here we are. Here we are.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- Meconium.- Meconium!
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- Is she all right? - We need to drain the lungs.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14What's happening, Jack? I can't hear anything.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Suction and monitor.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19He's a little battered and bruised.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21He? Is it a boy?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Yes.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Is he breathing, Jack? Is he breathing?
0:10:29 > 0:10:30- Yes.- Warm.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- Keep him warm.- To the isolette, now.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35W-Why? Where are you taking him?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37He might just need a little help.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39What help? What's wrong?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43BABY WHEEZES
0:10:53 > 0:10:55I see they're holding a rally, the wharfies,
0:10:55 > 0:10:57campaigning for pensions for their veterans.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- The union?- You might enjoy a rally.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03You know how I feel about the waterfront, striking during the war.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05SHE TUTS
0:11:05 > 0:11:06This is how history gets distorted.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09The press blew that story up out of all proportion.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Jack just telephoned.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Sarah has given birth to a boy.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- Ah, how lovely.- A boy!
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Is he...- He said the next 24 hours are critical.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- He's having trouble breathing on his own.- Dear God.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23But he said they're doing all they can.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- How's Sarah?- It was tough but she's recovering.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29What else did he say?
0:11:29 > 0:11:30He's busy.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Did he say anything about the baby's chances?
0:11:33 > 0:11:34No, but he wouldn't.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Then George definitely needs to be informed.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37What did Sarah ask you?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40She wasn't anticipating an emergency.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43If the baby dies or if there's something wrong...
0:11:45 > 0:11:47- Well, YOU could call him. - No, no, I won't.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49- Then I shall.- You will not!
0:11:52 > 0:11:53The minute it is necessary to call,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56then I will not stand between you and the telephone,
0:11:56 > 0:12:00but until that time try and keep your mind on other things.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03I'll have some tea sent out.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Don't worry. It'll all work out.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Oh, you haven't left much for me.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Well done.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Liz, sorry.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21I was trying to distract you.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25It's not so very long ago she lost her husband, is it?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Makes the event even more bittersweet.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Douglas, the matter is, astonishing as it may seem...
0:12:35 > 0:12:37..the baby is not her late husband's.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Sarah has just given birth to George's child.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44George's second son.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Good heavens.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48I'm sorry.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52And if the baby doesn't survive...
0:12:53 > 0:12:55..she may never have another chance.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Oh, Lizzie.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- Thank you.- Come on. Don't worry.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07We'll need to see if he's lost much blood.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09I want a haematocrit as soon as possible.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11For Sister Nordmann, keep her monitored.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13She's had significant blood loss.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22When we do ease off on the oxygen, he tries hard to breathe on his own.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28As for you, I'm still not sure why you're bleeding so much.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Increased the synto. It should help.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Tell me what's wrong with him.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39He's been pretty battered. His respiration was depressed.
0:13:39 > 0:13:40Is he in distress?
0:13:42 > 0:13:43It was a difficult labour.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Why can't I see him?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Your blood loss is more than normal.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54I don't want to risk a haemorrhage moving you.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55- I want to see him.- And you will.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Something is wrong.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Look me in the eye and tell me nothing's wrong.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07He needs to be on oxygen and he needs to be monitored.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08He needs to be in the isolette.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11Is he deformed in some way?
0:14:11 > 0:14:13No. No.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16I just want you to put me in a wheelchair now.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Please.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19For God's sake, Sarah. Sarah.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25I'm saying to you what you would say to a woman in your condition.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Calm down and bed rest until you're told otherwise.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Mother and baby need rest.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33There was a...
0:14:34 > 0:14:37There was a reason I wanted to be conscious.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40I understood that.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41I thought I could do it.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43There's no need to be anxious.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- He might die because of me.- Hey!
0:14:46 > 0:14:48I should have listened to you, I know I should have.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Let's.... Let's all just get a few hours' sleep.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57Is he going to live, Jack?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01If there is any change, I will wake you.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26I know I promised Sarah but George is five hours' drive away.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27If something happened...
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Your angina and blood pressure are all I care about.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Let me telephone George, hmm?
0:15:46 > 0:15:49I predict television will be up and running sooner than we think.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51But only broadcast in Sydney and Melbourne.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Well, we'll have to fight them on that, then, won't we?
0:15:53 > 0:15:55We most certainly will.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Actually Regina has some very good thoughts on how we can do that.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01I'd be very interested to hear them.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02Hand it back to the Chinese?
0:16:02 > 0:16:05I've heard very good arguments from London about that.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08I'm afraid I disagree, Cedric. Hong Kong must remain a British colony.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11All the businessmen fleeing Communist China.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Honkers gives them a bolt-hole.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Those few years I spent in Shanghai before the revolution...
0:16:17 > 0:16:19I'm not saying we can't learn a bit from the Chinese...
0:16:19 > 0:16:23The Hong Kong Chinese will run rings around us in business, Cedric.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- They are simply remarkable. - PHONE RINGS
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Thank you, Douglas.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Not at all.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35It's very clear. I appreciate the call.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Thank you again.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Goodbye.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Was that The Age calling back?
0:16:45 > 0:16:48The baby's been born.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49I have to go to Inverness.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53I'll say my goodbyes.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55You can't just walk out on your guests.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56You really can't.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Help me wind it up, then?
0:17:02 > 0:17:03Quickly?
0:17:06 > 0:17:07Empty glasses in the capital.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09What's the Commonwealth coming to?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11George, my good man, about these roads.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13How did I know he was going to say that?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15You really are a dog with a bone, Cedric.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19The truth is, Cedric, I could talk roads until the cows come home.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23They'd disappear in the bulldust holes up my way.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24THEY CHORTLE
0:17:29 > 0:17:32SHE BREATHES HEAVILY
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Thank you, Rose.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Do tell your man to drive safely, won't you?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Watch the kangaroos at dusk.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07I will.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Well, two can play at that game.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Pack my suitcases for Sydney, quick sticks.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Day and cocktail wear, ma'am?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Day, night, the races, the theatre...
0:18:23 > 0:18:24Pack the lot.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Who knows what the big city lights may hold?
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Five pounds, seven ounces...
0:18:32 > 0:18:35I think they said he just needs a little help breathing,
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- like babies do sometimes, I suppose. - Have you all seen him?
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Not yet. They won't want us hanging in here for too long neither.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44They're keeping something from me.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46They're just keeping an eye on him, missy.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51I've knitted matinee sets in both colours just in case.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Of course, the pink ones can go to the fete.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Can you find out why they won't give him to me, please?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- The truth.- Excuse me!
0:18:58 > 0:19:00All of you, out!
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Mrs Collins, you should have more sense.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03I'm sure Dr Duncan wouldn't mind.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- You know that's not true. - You get some shut-eye, missy.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09See you tomorrow.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Rest.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42- Here you are.- Thank you.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44A few days' catching up to do.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Making history.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50"Purchased hay from Poletti farm.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52"Men drenched top paddock sheep.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54"Rain anticipated.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56"Ram has wind."
0:19:58 > 0:20:00You don't think I'm in danger of being overly poetic?
0:20:03 > 0:20:04HE EXHALES
0:20:06 > 0:20:09You know, a baby boy might be a good thing for Georgie.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12I mean, a life away from the burden of running Ash Park.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14No matter what happens, I'll make sure he gets his stipend.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15His financial share of things.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19He wouldn't be tied to the property.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Georgie can grow up and he can be whatever he wants.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Sometime in the distant future I could step away, too.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Now, let's just pray the new baby survives.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Yeah. The solicitor wants to sit down with us, talk details.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Our agreement about Georgie.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52The divorce.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23I managed a peek without being seen.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Oh, the poor little mite.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26He looked so helpless.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Elizabeth.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40What are you doing here?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Did Jack send for you?
0:21:47 > 0:21:48- Did he?- No, no.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54I was about to leave a note at the nurse's station.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55I've no wish to disturb.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00I wanted to explain that I'd informed George...
0:22:00 > 0:22:01Of what?
0:22:02 > 0:22:03What do you know?
0:22:05 > 0:22:06What do I know?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Is my baby going to die?
0:22:10 > 0:22:11What did Jack tell you?
0:22:11 > 0:22:12No, nothing.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23You know the visiting hours.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28My excuse is I've been up for 24 hours straight.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33I simply wanted her to know that George had been telephoned, it was not my intention to upset her...
0:22:33 > 0:22:35She should be resting.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36And so should you.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Do you think the baby will survive?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45I can't tell you that.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- Let's take you home.- Yeah.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48Excellent idea.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49Listen to this man.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Goodnight.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56I should not have come down.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Oh, whatever happened just now is done.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04You're only doing what you felt you had to do.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Come on. Let's get you out of here.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Elizabeth would only call George if something was seriously wrong.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- She wanted to explain... - You're only working around the clock
0:23:16 > 0:23:17because something is seriously wrong.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19I'm a nursing sister, Jack.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21We are monitoring him closely.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22He's sleeping.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Is he going to die?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29We just want him breathing on his own.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37I don't want any more visits from Ash Park.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40We've put "no visitors" on the door.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46Any more bleeding?
0:24:16 > 0:24:17PHONE RINGS
0:24:21 > 0:24:22Bligh residence?
0:24:25 > 0:24:26Mrs Bligh is in Sydney.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30I can leave a message at her hotel, if you'd like?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34One moment, please.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56SHE PANTS
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Is the oxygen constant?
0:25:55 > 0:25:59As soon as there is a change in lung compliance, we'll shift to PRN.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02That research we read on oxygen, the retina...
0:26:02 > 0:26:03Retina... The blindness.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Those babies were under 31 weeks.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09He's a good body weight, no signs of infection.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- It's only been 24 hours. - No blue colouration?
0:26:12 > 0:26:13No.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21He just seems so...
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Hello, little one.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30- Can I...?- Yeah.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52Did I cause this, Jack?
0:26:54 > 0:26:55He's preterm, remember.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06SHE WHISPERS IN HEBREW
0:27:24 > 0:27:25Amen.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38I think I'm bleeding.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43Right, come on. Into bed, now.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00CLOCK CHIMES
0:28:00 > 0:28:01Ah, there you are.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- When did you arrive? - How are they both?
0:28:04 > 0:28:06I'll let you know once I've seen them.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08I'll come down with you now, we can talk on the way.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11It might be best if you wait up here until I telephone.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14She is very fragile.
0:28:16 > 0:28:17And the baby?
0:28:17 > 0:28:20As I say, I'll let you know once I've seen him this morning.
0:28:20 > 0:28:21I'm coming down now.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27My turf, George. On my terms.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41- Mr Bligh.- Roy.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43It's good to see you.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48How are they treating you up in Canberra? All right?
0:28:48 > 0:28:54Yes, yes. I've...just come down to inspect the new resuscitation unit.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56It's very interesting.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Lizzie told me a while back.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00Your secret's safe with me.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05There's a sign on her door that says "no visitors".
0:29:05 > 0:29:08We've decided that don't apply to us.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11You go ahead, Roy, I'll wait here for a while.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Best not to let Sarah know I'm here.
0:29:14 > 0:29:15At least for the moment.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Best of luck, Mr Bligh. It'll turn up trumps.
0:29:29 > 0:29:30Emma done that for you.
0:29:30 > 0:29:31The flowers are from Dawny.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Dr Jack reckons things have improved during the night.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39I should have known.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41What's that?
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Everything was going along so easily.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50Calmly. I thought it would last.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51Don't go looking on the dark side.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Why not?
0:29:53 > 0:29:55He'll be right as rain.
0:29:55 > 0:29:56He's a chip off the old block.
0:29:58 > 0:29:59You thought of a name yet?
0:30:02 > 0:30:03Ruby.
0:30:03 > 0:30:04HE CHUCKLES
0:30:04 > 0:30:06- Ruby?- It's just...
0:30:08 > 0:30:10..I was just having a conversation with Rene in my mind.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14How much I hoped it was a girl.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15Why's that, missy?
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Ash Park Incorporated would leave us alone.
0:30:20 > 0:30:21If he...
0:30:23 > 0:30:28If he makes it, he'll be considered next in line after James
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- and baby George. - This is the Blighs, missy.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33It's not the House of Windsor.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36All that family stuff's a long way down the track.
0:30:36 > 0:30:37It's already started.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45Well, I'd better get going before Nurse Murgatroyd goes crook.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Sure there's nothing you need?
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Just my baby.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53And a name.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04CHUCKLING: "Stitch your worries away," my mother used to say.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Can you try to stay within the lines?
0:31:10 > 0:31:13I'm still surprised they didn't teach you this at school.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15I preferred to learn how to smoke.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23Yesterday, you mentioned Anna's birth.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28I never knew anything about it, of course.
0:31:33 > 0:31:34Would you like to?
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Tell me.
0:31:41 > 0:31:42Well...
0:31:44 > 0:31:46..we had gone to Singapore, of course.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52She was a week late. I'd had early contractions, but they stopped.
0:31:52 > 0:31:57I read somewhere that if you walked a lot, you could bring the baby on.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01- Never heard of that.- And if one took a meal with a lot of chilli.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Chilli?
0:32:04 > 0:32:09- The spice?- So I walked all the way to Orchard Road.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11It was very steamy, I remember.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13You went walking in the heat?
0:32:13 > 0:32:14What were you thinking of?!
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Spicy Chinese food.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19You didn't do anything like that with us?
0:32:19 > 0:32:20Only you.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24I pointed to any meal that looked as if it had chilli in it...
0:32:25 > 0:32:27..and it worked.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30- Oh, my.- My waters broke during the night,
0:32:30 > 0:32:32we took a taxi to the hospital in the morning...
0:32:34 > 0:32:35..and Anna was born...
0:32:37 > 0:32:39..at five past six that evening.
0:32:42 > 0:32:43Any pain I went through...
0:32:45 > 0:32:46..evaporated into thin air.
0:32:48 > 0:32:49Yes.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55And they put her in my arms.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01She was the most beautiful baby that had ever been born.
0:33:04 > 0:33:05That's what I said about you.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Don't say anything to George.
0:33:10 > 0:33:11I'll keep it up my sleeve.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17When the time came to give her up...
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- VOICE BREAKING:- ..I placed her in Elaine's arms.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33The shawl got tangled in my bracelet, I remember.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38I kissed her on the head and...
0:33:39 > 0:33:41..I didn't look back.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Typical Anna. I could hear her gurgling happily as I walked away.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56Here we are.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06You promised not to come, you promised.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08- I was worried. - We made an arrangement.
0:34:09 > 0:34:10I'm here in an official capacity.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12I haven't even held him yet.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Jack says that he's pleased with his progress in the night.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Oh, so he says, so you say...
0:34:22 > 0:34:24- How do I know?- Jack knows.
0:34:24 > 0:34:25Jack knows there's something wrong.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29I don't think that's the case.
0:34:29 > 0:34:30But I'll talk to him, if you like.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Oh, yes, in what capacity, George?
0:34:32 > 0:34:35- I did not come...- They'll already be gossiping about why you're here.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37We made an agreement.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Please, why do we make these decisions
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- only to have you unravel...? - I do beg your pardon, sister.
0:34:43 > 0:34:44Mr Bligh.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Well, I'd better not keep Dr Duncan waiting.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54I'm here to inspect the plans for the new wing.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58I'm very pleased your baby has had the benefit of our new technology...
0:35:00 > 0:35:02..Sister Nordmann.
0:35:04 > 0:35:05Nurse.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27KNOCK AT DOOR
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Welcome.
0:35:39 > 0:35:40You know where everything is.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50I had to telephone. Sorry.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53I hope that's a fib, that you're sorry.
0:35:55 > 0:35:56Have you missed me?
0:35:57 > 0:35:58My oath, I have.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03I've missed you, so much.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Let's make this last.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Mix yourself a drink.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26Tell me everything.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30Police prosecutors.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Gutless wonders.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34No case to answer about Bert Ford, not without a body.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37All that work you've done.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Circumstantial.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41Same as Milly Davis.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43What rot.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Three months I've been hitting my head against a brick wall.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Until I find something stronger on Nordmann...
0:36:51 > 0:36:53It's so terribly frustrating for you.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Should I seek protection from her, do you think?
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Next time I'm in Inverness?
0:37:02 > 0:37:03Forget anyone else, you've got me.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09And what will you do for me, Sergeant?
0:37:13 > 0:37:15I had a few ideas in mind.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Hey, lady.
0:37:32 > 0:37:33Want a lift?
0:37:36 > 0:37:38Livvy?
0:37:38 > 0:37:39Livvy!
0:37:41 > 0:37:43ENGINE STOPS
0:37:48 > 0:37:49What's up?
0:37:51 > 0:37:53I'm trying to keep it to myself.
0:37:54 > 0:37:55It's Lloyd.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Tell me. You'd let me talk about Henry.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04He hasn't written in weeks.
0:38:04 > 0:38:05I just accosted the postman.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10You haven't received a letter in weeks, it's not the same thing.
0:38:10 > 0:38:11He used to write every second day.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14Perhaps it's because I've been delaying things.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17I'm trying so hard to pretend that everything's all right, but...
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Why do you think you've been delaying things?
0:38:22 > 0:38:26Because your father asked me to wait until he was settled.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35Because when I leave...
0:38:37 > 0:38:39..my heart will break.
0:38:46 > 0:38:47And if you don't go?
0:38:49 > 0:38:51It's unthinkable.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54Lloyd and I belong together, I... I just...
0:38:54 > 0:38:55I don't understand.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59You should telephone him.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Or, I could just book my ticket and arrive.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06I really do think that might be best. Thank you, James. Sorry to have...
0:39:06 > 0:39:08No, Livvy, that's not a very good idea, just turning up.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10It isn't.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11I'm just being silly.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Sorry.
0:39:16 > 0:39:20I think you're just a little stressed about your exhibition.
0:39:22 > 0:39:27Your last letter said, "I'm counting the days until you're here."
0:39:29 > 0:39:31You can't think that... Listen!
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Listen to me.
0:39:34 > 0:39:35Please.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Once we're together again, we'll...
0:39:41 > 0:39:44But... I don't believe that.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Lloyd, I have told you!
0:39:49 > 0:39:51It's all decided about Georgie.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53I'll be coming on my own! We...
0:40:09 > 0:40:10Please, don't.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22SHE SOBS
0:40:37 > 0:40:41SHE ROARS
0:40:57 > 0:40:59SHE GROANS
0:40:59 > 0:41:02I've just had another peek in the nursery.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Why are you still here?
0:41:04 > 0:41:05I wanted to reassure you
0:41:05 > 0:41:07that this breathing issue seems to be improving.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09It isn't just a breathing issue.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13If it's HMD or pulmonary hyperplasia,
0:41:13 > 0:41:1825% of premature babies at his stage die in the first week.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Well, I heard the nurse telling Jack that he's been breathing on his own
0:41:21 > 0:41:23for the past half an hour, off the ventilator.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- What do you need?- For you to go.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Well, Jack's doing his rounds, he'll be here soon.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Have you thought of a name yet?
0:41:38 > 0:41:39No.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43And he'll be Nordmann on the birth certificate.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47- That's not why I ask. - Of course it is.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52What you truly care about is that on paper he's a Bligh.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56A bastard Bligh is better than none, but not in my books,
0:41:56 > 0:41:57as you well know.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05- I didn't come here to upset you. - Well, you have.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26I'm trying to do the right thing by her.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29But my name should be on the birth certificate.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Your timing is appalling, George.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35I don't want to adopt my own child after we marry.
0:42:35 > 0:42:36If you marry.
0:42:36 > 0:42:40Let's not forget this was the child that...
0:42:40 > 0:42:41that she wanted to abort.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45- Oh, please. - It would simply put him...
0:42:45 > 0:42:47It would put us on a good footing for the future.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50I understand that she's worried
0:42:50 > 0:42:53that the child will be labelled illegitimate.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55And that is a very real concern.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58It would affect him his whole life.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Ostracised on so many levels.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02School life, business...
0:43:02 > 0:43:04And in some parts of the Jewish community.
0:43:04 > 0:43:05All of that I understand.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Must the child be Jewish?
0:43:09 > 0:43:11Apparently, yes.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13Not that I have a say in that either.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15It's all rather a one-way street.
0:43:21 > 0:43:22Perhaps we...
0:43:23 > 0:43:25..we should go our own ways.
0:43:26 > 0:43:30W-Why not take this one day at a time?
0:43:34 > 0:43:36Regina was right.
0:43:36 > 0:43:38I should have stayed in Canberra.
0:43:38 > 0:43:40She should not be involved in this!
0:43:40 > 0:43:42For all of Regina's shortcomings, Mother...
0:43:43 > 0:43:46..her advice over the past couple of months has been exemplary.
0:43:47 > 0:43:48I can't fault her in that.
0:43:50 > 0:43:54And her expertise in policy negotiations, quite frankly,
0:43:54 > 0:43:56has been invaluable.
0:43:58 > 0:43:59But...
0:43:59 > 0:44:01But you and Sarah...
0:44:01 > 0:44:03Yes. Yes.
0:44:06 > 0:44:07But I've made this bed.
0:44:09 > 0:44:11And perhaps I have to lie in it.
0:44:27 > 0:44:29I'd like to send a telegram, please.
0:44:31 > 0:44:34Flying Officer Gordon Walsh, Butterworth Military Base, Malaya.
0:44:36 > 0:44:43Message reads: "For unto us a child is born in a manger in Inverness."
0:44:43 > 0:44:45KNOCK AT DOOR
0:44:48 > 0:44:54"For unto us a child is born in a manger in Inverness."
0:44:55 > 0:44:58No, no signatory. Thank you so much.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06My shopping! Thank you so very much.
0:45:08 > 0:45:11Also included, the name of a clinic that will help you.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15This has to be the last time.
0:45:16 > 0:45:20Such a smart little sodomite, but so little common sense.
0:45:20 > 0:45:22The last time is my call.
0:45:22 > 0:45:23Not yours.
0:45:26 > 0:45:28Oh, Douglas, I really don't feel comfortable
0:45:28 > 0:45:30being so far away from the telephone.
0:45:30 > 0:45:32If there's any news, they'll come and get us.
0:45:32 > 0:45:35Now, what's this one called, hmm?
0:45:37 > 0:45:38It's a Madame Lombard.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41I planted it just before Carolyn was born.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47Oh, dear God. I would do anything to have this baby live.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51If only it knew the love that's waiting for it.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54Sarah, and, I'd hoped, George.
0:45:54 > 0:45:57- Of course.- But the longer he's near this woman,
0:45:57 > 0:46:02the more he seems in danger of succumbing to her apparent charms.
0:46:02 > 0:46:04Well, if a chap didn't know what we do...
0:46:04 > 0:46:07She charms men, I understand that.
0:46:07 > 0:46:08Oh...
0:46:08 > 0:46:12I hate to say this, but if the child doesn't survive,
0:46:12 > 0:46:15it will throw the two of them closer together.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19I should go up and telephone Italy.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21You've got four hours.
0:46:21 > 0:46:22It's the middle of the night.
0:46:23 > 0:46:25Stop...worrying.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28Please.
0:46:30 > 0:46:33I wanted to tell you I've been planning another tour,
0:46:33 > 0:46:38starting in Turkey, Izmir. Down to Rhodes, then Damascus, Petra, Cairo,
0:46:38 > 0:46:39the Valley of the Kings...
0:46:39 > 0:46:41- It sounds wonderful.- Would you come?
0:46:42 > 0:46:43Oh...
0:46:43 > 0:46:46I know you will think there's always something,
0:46:46 > 0:46:48but there is something I need to do...
0:46:48 > 0:46:51- Hmm?- ..if I can bring Anna and Gino home.
0:46:51 > 0:46:54I was hoping I'd helped free you, Sir Richard and all that.
0:46:54 > 0:46:57Oh, you have, Douglas, but I...
0:46:57 > 0:46:59I don't want to burden you with any further family secrets.
0:46:59 > 0:47:01Believe me, I don't want to know them.
0:47:04 > 0:47:06Yes.
0:47:07 > 0:47:09After that, I will come with you.
0:47:09 > 0:47:10- Yes?- Yes.
0:47:12 > 0:47:13Yes!
0:47:14 > 0:47:16Well, while I'm ahead...
0:47:16 > 0:47:17While you're ahead?
0:47:19 > 0:47:21Elizabeth Bligh,
0:47:21 > 0:47:23will you marry me?
0:47:23 > 0:47:24Oh!
0:47:26 > 0:47:29Oh, what a very surprising man you are!
0:47:29 > 0:47:30Now, don't think too hard.
0:47:33 > 0:47:34Yes.
0:47:34 > 0:47:37- Yes, I will.- Marvellous!
0:47:39 > 0:47:41- Ha! - CHAMBER MUSIC PLAYS
0:47:42 > 0:47:44Oh!
0:48:02 > 0:48:05What would you have done if I'd said no?
0:48:05 > 0:48:07You'd never have known they were there.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22You have another visitor.
0:48:25 > 0:48:27BABY GRIZZLES
0:48:29 > 0:48:31Oh, Jack.
0:48:31 > 0:48:32Don't call him Jack.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36Hello!
0:48:36 > 0:48:37Hello!
0:48:38 > 0:48:40Hello, little one.
0:48:42 > 0:48:44Oh, it's so good to have you with me.
0:48:49 > 0:48:51I didn't know there could be so much joy.
