0:00:02 > 0:00:04Lloyd, I have told you! It's all decided about Georgie.

0:00:04 > 0:00:07I'll be coming on my own. We...

0:00:12 > 0:00:13SHE SCREAMS

0:00:14 > 0:00:15Will you marry me?

0:00:15 > 0:00:17Yes, I will.

0:00:17 > 0:00:18Marvellous!

0:00:18 > 0:00:20Gino's eyes glow when he talks of children,

0:00:20 > 0:00:22and there's a good chance that I can't have them.

0:00:22 > 0:00:24The doctor told me after my miscarriage.

0:00:24 > 0:00:26We're flying the new Kangaroo tourist class.

0:00:26 > 0:00:29Cairo, overnight, Tripoli, and then Rome.

0:00:29 > 0:00:31Flying Officer Gordon Walsh.

0:00:31 > 0:00:37Message reads, "For unto us, a child is born in a manger in Inverness."

0:00:38 > 0:00:40Have you thought of a name yet?

0:00:40 > 0:00:44No. And he'll be Nordmann on the birth certificate.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46Perhaps we should go our own ways.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48For all of Virginia's shortcomings,

0:00:48 > 0:00:51her advice over the past couple of months has been exemplary.

0:00:51 > 0:00:52But you and Sarah...

0:00:52 > 0:00:55Yes, I would marry her tomorrow, if I could.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58But I have made this bed, and perhaps I have to lie in it.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00So, Regina.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03I'm sure she murdered Milly Davis.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05You remember what I said about a roman a clef?

0:01:05 > 0:01:08"Readers recognise the truth behind the fiction."

0:01:08 > 0:01:10And reputations can be slayed.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12Once you've delivered your manuscript,

0:01:12 > 0:01:14it could give it proof absolute.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16Regina would provide it herself.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20Factions will be forming.

0:01:20 > 0:01:21I trust I can rely upon you?

0:01:21 > 0:01:23Thank you for lunch.

0:01:23 > 0:01:24SHE SPEAKS ITALIAN

0:01:24 > 0:01:26She shouldn't be around Regina.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28Grandmother's plan won't work unless they're close.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30You're using her.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32- There is something I need to do... - Mm-hm.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34..if I can bring Anna and Gino home.

0:01:58 > 0:01:59Sure you won't come?

0:02:02 > 0:02:03It's nothing to do with me.

0:02:10 > 0:02:11She'll ask how we are.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17She has to know some time.

0:02:18 > 0:02:19I'll play it by ear.

0:02:22 > 0:02:23Thank you.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39Roy would have you back, you know.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Oh, I'll find something.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44Might even manage the spare room here, if they keep me on.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Can't believe how big he's got in two weeks.

0:02:50 > 0:02:51Bye-bye, you.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56He needs a name.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59He's stuck with it his whole life, it merits thought.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02- Thanks for the offer. - Bed's there, if you need it.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06You two and his nibs is enough for one home.

0:03:08 > 0:03:09But expect visits.

0:03:26 > 0:03:27- Grandmother!- Oh, travel becomes you.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Mwah!

0:03:29 > 0:03:30Oh.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Love becomes you.

0:03:32 > 0:03:33May I?

0:03:36 > 0:03:38You go away and, well...

0:03:38 > 0:03:40It's lovely.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42- Congratulations, grandmother. - Thank you.

0:03:44 > 0:03:45Gino?

0:03:48 > 0:03:50It was a long flight.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53He still disapproves of our plan?

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Not of tackling Regina.

0:03:55 > 0:03:56Of utilising Rose?

0:03:57 > 0:03:59He says her letters show a change.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05Would it help if I spoke to him?

0:04:05 > 0:04:07Probably not.

0:04:07 > 0:04:08May I try?

0:04:09 > 0:04:11If you wish.

0:04:11 > 0:04:17Well, I know what I wish is George disabused, Regina toppled,

0:04:17 > 0:04:18and all damage redressed.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Then, we can get on with our lives.

0:04:22 > 0:04:23Did you send him the telegram?

0:04:23 > 0:04:24This morning.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27And our incendiary device?

0:04:31 > 0:04:32You've read it?

0:04:32 > 0:04:36- Beautifully written. Incendiary, indeed.- Oh, good.

0:04:36 > 0:04:40Well, Italy first, then schemes.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43I gave Anna three coins for the Trevi Fountain.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45Perhaps the fountain has blessed all of us.

0:04:51 > 0:04:55Anna and Gino were resting at Carolyn's before the final leg home.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57So no explanation for the sudden return?

0:04:57 > 0:05:00Mother's engagement, I presume.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03They'd like to see me as soon as possible.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05I'll go on the weekend.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07We'll both go.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Are you sure?

0:05:09 > 0:05:10Of course.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13- Thank you, Rose.- Yes, ma'am.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17There will be the inevitable tensions.

0:05:17 > 0:05:18Not from me.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Our Canberra months have been too rewarding to be sullied by

0:05:21 > 0:05:22old grudges.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26And there is the other matter of the baby.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30I'd like to welcome our travellers home.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32Let me prove I can stay well out of it.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35I'll stay at the guest cottage.

0:05:35 > 0:05:36Might be best.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39Whatever's most conducive to calm.

0:05:42 > 0:05:46Our arrangement has borne fruit here.

0:05:46 > 0:05:47Give me my chance there, too.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54All right.

0:05:54 > 0:05:55Thank you.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01We've finished before we started, if Regina doesn't return with him.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04And lose the opportunity to trumpet her political triumph?

0:06:04 > 0:06:07- She'll come. - Undone by our worst impulses.

0:06:07 > 0:06:08Which makes it all the more delicious.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10As is this -

0:06:10 > 0:06:13"The Monday knife scraping of Dot cutting cake,

0:06:13 > 0:06:17"contrasting sharply with her own view of the lethal crystals,

0:06:17 > 0:06:19"dissolving swiftly into the tonic."

0:06:19 > 0:06:21I have reading to do.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23And I will visit Gino.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26Fine.

0:06:26 > 0:06:27But only if you're sure.

0:06:29 > 0:06:30If you are going...

0:06:31 > 0:06:34..there are larger problems than his attitude about Rose.

0:06:42 > 0:06:43Brings back memories.

0:06:50 > 0:06:51How were your boys as babies?

0:06:53 > 0:06:56There's nothing he can dish out that I haven't seen or heard.

0:06:56 > 0:06:57Not a long time ago.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59You up for it?

0:06:59 > 0:07:01That's what cotton wool's for.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Are you sure it won't affect you and Dawn?

0:07:09 > 0:07:10Might help, truth be told.

0:07:11 > 0:07:15You being gone, it's given her notions.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19Wasn't that the general idea?

0:07:19 > 0:07:21Well, it made sense first up.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24I thought you were enjoying stepping out.

0:07:24 > 0:07:25Stepping out is fine.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Just not so sure about the stepping up...

0:07:28 > 0:07:29to the altar.

0:07:31 > 0:07:32Oh.

0:07:33 > 0:07:38Keeping company's fine, but marriage is a whole other brew.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40Don't go giving her false hopes.

0:07:41 > 0:07:46I'll be too busy being Uncle Roy to be worried about being hubby

0:07:46 > 0:07:47and dad to anyone.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53And you thought I'd be protecting you, eh?

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Well, I for one hope you stop running.

0:07:55 > 0:07:56What about you?

0:07:56 > 0:07:58I've stopped...

0:07:59 > 0:08:00..for better or worse.

0:08:06 > 0:08:07Oh.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09Entrare.

0:08:09 > 0:08:10Sorry, come in.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Adjusting to English, again?

0:08:13 > 0:08:15Yes.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18Anna passed on your congratulations.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Douglas is a good man.

0:08:20 > 0:08:21He is.

0:08:24 > 0:08:25Please.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34Gino, I felt I should justify my choices.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36- You don't have to...- I think I do.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41Being summoned back to intrigue must contrast with what you left

0:08:41 > 0:08:43in Italy?

0:08:44 > 0:08:45Yes.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47How are you dear parents?

0:08:47 > 0:08:49It was good...

0:08:49 > 0:08:51being a whole family again.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54All the more reason to apologise for hurrying you home.

0:08:56 > 0:09:00Now, regarding Rose, I do believe that the ends justify the means.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04- She cannot become what she's not inclined to be.- And what do you...?

0:09:04 > 0:09:07Or do you prefer to see Regina go unpunished?

0:09:08 > 0:09:10She must be dealt with, Gino...

0:09:11 > 0:09:16..before she has the chance to harm George's dealings with his son,

0:09:16 > 0:09:18possibly even the baby himself.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24- This is what I was glad to be away from.- I understand.

0:09:29 > 0:09:30Anna told me your sad news.

0:09:36 > 0:09:37I'm so sorry.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41I just have to get used to it.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43There's always adoption.

0:09:43 > 0:09:44No.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47Well, we love Georgie no less for his origins.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49You'll love the new baby more.

0:09:49 > 0:09:50Of course you will.

0:09:52 > 0:09:53I wanted my own son.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57What's our marriage now?

0:09:59 > 0:10:00That is foolishness.

0:10:00 > 0:10:01Is it?

0:10:03 > 0:10:07You've overcome so much to be together, me included.

0:10:07 > 0:10:08You will weather this.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10I will never hold our child.

0:10:12 > 0:10:13But you will hold Anna.

0:10:34 > 0:10:38Can't have Gino and Mrs Poletti coming home to a dirty house.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41It is rather sudden.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43Must be homesick.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46Sarah's already back at Roy's.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48What about you?

0:10:48 > 0:10:50I'll keep on with the job, if Gino wants.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54What are you doing Sunday?

0:10:55 > 0:10:57Not much.

0:10:57 > 0:11:01Friend of mine's having a birthday party in Sydney, mostly our kind.

0:11:01 > 0:11:02Come.

0:11:03 > 0:11:04Am I invited?

0:11:04 > 0:11:06You will be, if I ask.

0:11:06 > 0:11:07You'll never meet anyone here.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11Nice thought.

0:11:12 > 0:11:16Your kind of "our kind" aren't my kind.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21- We get on.- We've known each other since we were kids.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23I'd just be rough trade to them.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27Try.

0:11:27 > 0:11:28For me.

0:11:31 > 0:11:32If it helps you, fine.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34But don't expect too much from me.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38Pick you up midday, Saturday?

0:11:38 > 0:11:41See you at the intersection, saves questions.

0:11:41 > 0:11:42Be good to get out.

0:11:47 > 0:11:48Thank you.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58Gino? Gino?

0:11:58 > 0:12:01I thought that we were staying till morning?

0:12:03 > 0:12:04I want to get home.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07Excuse me.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09It'll be better there, we can take the late train.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11If we must. Might you drive us?

0:12:12 > 0:12:14- Of course.- You've got plans.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16- I can change them.- Done.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19We can take care of ourselves.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21But thank you.

0:12:21 > 0:12:22Let me know what you decide.

0:12:24 > 0:12:25Did Grandmother say something?

0:12:25 > 0:12:28- It's nothing to do with her. - Well, what, then?

0:12:30 > 0:12:31No, you're right, you're right.

0:12:31 > 0:12:35We're more likely to get it into perspective there.

0:12:35 > 0:12:36I want to.

0:12:38 > 0:12:39I hope.

0:12:41 > 0:12:45- Right now...- We've been days in the air and we've hardly slept and...

0:12:46 > 0:12:48..we only just found out.

0:12:48 > 0:12:49So you're right.

0:12:51 > 0:12:52Yeah.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55It'll be... It'll be better at home.

0:13:13 > 0:13:17Thought we said no more beautiful days in dark rooms.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19I've got the most shocking head.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23Livi.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25You can't go on like this.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28I am trying to move past it.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33I just can't help but feel...

0:13:35 > 0:13:36..so foolish.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43Perhaps I should cancel my weekend plans.

0:13:43 > 0:13:44Don't you be foolish.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47Go.

0:13:49 > 0:13:50I want to be strong.

0:13:52 > 0:13:53I will be strong.

0:13:57 > 0:13:58As long as you need.

0:14:10 > 0:14:11There you go.

0:14:15 > 0:14:16KNOCK ON DOOR

0:14:16 > 0:14:17It's mealtime.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20I've got a visitor, when you're ready.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22Who?

0:14:22 > 0:14:23James.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32Come on.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36It looks like you're going to meet your brother.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42Hello, there.

0:14:42 > 0:14:43Have you decided on a name?

0:14:43 > 0:14:45No, not yet.

0:14:46 > 0:14:47Look at you.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50You're fast asleep, aren't you?

0:14:50 > 0:14:52Yes, you are. Yes...

0:14:57 > 0:14:59I'm not here for Father.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04I hope you can understand.

0:15:04 > 0:15:05It's between the two of you.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09I'll leave you to it.

0:15:11 > 0:15:12Thanks, Roy.

0:15:16 > 0:15:17Sit down.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22I'm here for Olivia.

0:15:22 > 0:15:23She's extremely low.

0:15:25 > 0:15:26I've tried helping, but...

0:15:26 > 0:15:27What's wrong?

0:15:28 > 0:15:30She's been dealt a rather large blow.

0:15:31 > 0:15:35The man she was following to England has severed all ties.

0:15:35 > 0:15:36He's left her in a funk.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40When was this?

0:15:40 > 0:15:41Just after he was born.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46She's tried lifting herself out of it,

0:15:46 > 0:15:48and I don't seem to be of very much use.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53If I encouraged her to reach out to you...

0:15:53 > 0:15:55I know you're trying to keep your distance from the family.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57It's not that. It's...

0:15:57 > 0:15:59She and I have had our differences.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02But she admires you, very much.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07You've always been my saviour.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11I do seem to have built that reputation.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16If you think I can help her...

0:16:18 > 0:16:19Thank you.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Any message for Father, when he returns?

0:16:27 > 0:16:29Just that his son is well.

0:16:32 > 0:16:33And he's welcome.

0:16:34 > 0:16:35Of course.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43Is that all, ma'am?

0:16:43 > 0:16:44It is.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46Goodnight, dear.

0:16:46 > 0:16:50I can't wait to be back, see Geno.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53And show the other locals how sophisticated you've become.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56That, too.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01We both have things to show Inverness.

0:17:09 > 0:17:10Hello, you.

0:17:12 > 0:17:14Hello...

0:17:15 > 0:17:16..David.

0:17:19 > 0:17:20How do you feel about that?

0:17:23 > 0:17:24David.

0:17:26 > 0:17:27David.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34For now, just David.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36Yeah.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13On approach.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15I'll remain scarce, until it's time to play my part.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18- It must work. - You've been planning it long enough.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20Things can still go awry.

0:18:23 > 0:18:24Fingers crossed!

0:18:58 > 0:19:00Welcome.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03From the cut and thrust of the capital...

0:19:03 > 0:19:04To the cut and thrust of home.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07- Congratulations, again. - Thank you.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09I've been looking forward to the good oil on Canberra.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11Well, there's plenty of that.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14I insisted on coming, simply to add my own good wishes.

0:19:15 > 0:19:20I shall abide by all rules and keep whatever distance is necessary.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22Perhaps your new beginning might contribute

0:19:22 > 0:19:25to warmer feelings, generally.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27- Perhaps.- Ma'am, your cases.

0:19:29 > 0:19:30The grey room, I think.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33Not the guest cottage?

0:19:33 > 0:19:35As you said, new beginnings.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Come on.

0:19:49 > 0:19:50They just arrived.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54Good. I'll do the courtesies and be off.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57Your father won't be offended?

0:19:57 > 0:19:59He said not, on the telephone.

0:20:01 > 0:20:05Have you sensed anything strange, the last few days?

0:20:05 > 0:20:06How so?

0:20:07 > 0:20:09Low voiced conversations.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12The sense we're being excluded from something.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14No-one is keen on Regina returning.

0:20:16 > 0:20:17Maybe it's just that.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25If you'd like to get away...

0:20:26 > 0:20:28I am boring even myself.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31I'll spare you the misery.

0:20:37 > 0:20:39See Sarah.

0:20:42 > 0:20:43I behaved so poorly over Harry.

0:20:43 > 0:20:44That was months ago.

0:20:46 > 0:20:47Her offer is genuine.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55- I really should stay. - Go to your gathering, please!

0:20:57 > 0:20:59At least one of us should be happy.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04The minute you're gone...

0:21:06 > 0:21:07..I will see her.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16Nice that you're back in the house.

0:21:17 > 0:21:19I'll finish that.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24Question the other staff, discreetly.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26- See what's to tell.- Yes, ma'am.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29And pop over to the Polettis. I know you're anxious to.

0:21:29 > 0:21:30Thank you.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33See what Geno has to say.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35He's an easier nut to crack than Anna.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41Something's afoot.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45Thank you for making the effort with Regina.

0:21:45 > 0:21:48Oh, courtesy costs little,

0:21:48 > 0:21:51especially given that I'll soon be gone.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54We're finally taking that Middle Eastern trip.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57- That's wonderful.- We'll reside in Sydney when we return.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59We're marrying overseas.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02The usual malarkey is more of an embarrassment at our age

0:22:02 > 0:22:03than anything else.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06Unless you'd be too disappointed?

0:22:06 > 0:22:07Whatever you see fit.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12We'd be taking St Andrews Cathedral, if Prudence Swanson had her way.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15Yes, it does seem a choice between all or no fuss.

0:22:15 > 0:22:16Spot-on.

0:22:18 > 0:22:21Anyway, you have things to discuss.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24- Oh, Douglas, you don't have to... - Yes, I do. You'll understand.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26I'll be off doing my bit, then.

0:22:27 > 0:22:28Good luck.

0:22:31 > 0:22:32Mysterious.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35George, there's something I want you to read.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39Anna's novel.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41And so much more than that.

0:22:41 > 0:22:42I'm looking forward to it.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44KNOCK ON DOOR

0:22:44 > 0:22:46Oh, there you are.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49- You're dashing off, aren't you? - A quick word, first.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51- Of course. - And then come back, please.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54- I'll read it later.- No...

0:22:54 > 0:22:56Now, please.

0:22:59 > 0:23:00All right.

0:23:13 > 0:23:14KNOCK ON DOOR

0:23:17 > 0:23:18Come.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23Ah!

0:23:23 > 0:23:25Lizzie and George are poring over the accounts,

0:23:25 > 0:23:28I just wondered if you'd be up for a canter, you know?

0:23:30 > 0:23:32I was thinking of putting my head down.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34Oh, well, some other time, then.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38The fresh air will do me good.

0:23:40 > 0:23:41Excellent.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Right, well, I'll just get things ready.

0:23:49 > 0:23:51You don't mind my roping Sarah in, then?

0:23:51 > 0:23:54Quite the reverse. Shall I talk to Olivia?

0:23:55 > 0:23:56If she brings it up, of course.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00Any idea of what she intends to do now?

0:24:01 > 0:24:03That's the problem.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05I'll see you Tuesday.

0:24:11 > 0:24:15Do you know what this business is with Anna's book?

0:24:15 > 0:24:17I got a very firm no when I asked to read it yesterday.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19It's been firmly foisted on me.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22- Without a chance to draw breath. - Seemingly.

0:24:22 > 0:24:25Perhaps they value your keen literary eye.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27I suspect not.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30Oh.

0:24:30 > 0:24:33Sarah said you're welcome to drop by, any time.

0:24:52 > 0:24:53This will have to wait, I'm sorry.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55- I'm off to see Sarah.- It can't wait.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57- It's waited long enough.- Sarah...

0:24:57 > 0:25:00Sarah wants this.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02I have marked the most pertinent pages.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17He's making up for a shaky start.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22Bonny, bouncing boy, aren't you?

0:25:23 > 0:25:25- David.- Sorry?

0:25:25 > 0:25:27His name.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29His name is David.

0:25:30 > 0:25:31It's my brother.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35His death brought me back to Australia.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38I'd never have been on that ship, if it weren't for him.

0:25:38 > 0:25:40George and I would never have met.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44- He deserves recognition. - I thought so.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48I'm ready to fill in that birth certificate.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51Surname?

0:25:51 > 0:25:53Yes, I've decided on that, too.

0:25:54 > 0:25:57Well, shouldn't you wait, with what's in play at Ash Park?

0:25:57 > 0:25:59Nothing there will change my decision.

0:25:59 > 0:26:00Are you sure?

0:26:02 > 0:26:03Absolutely.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16Sarah has read this?

0:26:16 > 0:26:19She is very familiar with the content.

0:26:19 > 0:26:20Keep going.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34No going back.

0:26:34 > 0:26:35No desire to.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45Oh.

0:26:45 > 0:26:46Who is she?

0:26:46 > 0:26:48What do you mean?

0:26:48 > 0:26:50You're all spruced up.

0:26:52 > 0:26:53- My sister.- Amy?

0:26:54 > 0:26:57- Yeah.- Oh. Say hello for me, huh?

0:26:57 > 0:27:00- I will.- Maybe she'll have a friend.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03It'd be a shame for that Californian poppy to go to waste.

0:27:06 > 0:27:08You want a lift to the station?

0:27:09 > 0:27:10I'm going to hitch down.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12- Buongiorno! - Ah, ciao, ragazzo!

0:27:15 > 0:27:17Come stai?

0:27:17 > 0:27:18Bene, grazie.

0:27:19 > 0:27:22- When did you get back?- Just now.

0:27:22 > 0:27:26Couldn't wait to see if I'd imported that Italian husband, no?

0:27:26 > 0:27:29- Is that him?- That's Harry.

0:27:29 > 0:27:31- My farm hand.- Oh, yeah.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33Came to Ash Park once.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35Hey, Harry.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37Rose likes Californian poppy.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39Oh, it stinks so cheap. Yuck!

0:27:46 > 0:27:47I'll see you Tuesday, huh?

0:27:49 > 0:27:51- I won't need the room long. - Oh, no rush.

0:27:53 > 0:27:54Rose.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01He's not Italian, but he's single.

0:28:02 > 0:28:04I can do better.

0:28:04 > 0:28:06He's handsome, but.

0:28:06 > 0:28:07It's been so exciting.

0:28:12 > 0:28:14Dashing Dan.

0:28:14 > 0:28:16Took a bit of getting away.

0:28:16 > 0:28:18Not too many questions?

0:28:20 > 0:28:21Never enjoyed the lies.

0:28:22 > 0:28:23Self protection.

0:28:50 > 0:28:52Invigorating.

0:28:52 > 0:28:54Your hand of friendship surprises...

0:28:54 > 0:28:55but pleases.

0:28:56 > 0:28:58I'm intent on healing the rift.

0:29:00 > 0:29:03Lizzie doesn't need the unnecessary strain.

0:29:03 > 0:29:04Nor do I.

0:29:04 > 0:29:06So thank you.

0:29:06 > 0:29:08Perhaps we should get back?

0:29:08 > 0:29:10Another bracing dash, first, hmm?

0:29:11 > 0:29:12Come on.

0:29:19 > 0:29:21It's outrageous slander...

0:29:21 > 0:29:23and it can't possibly publish.

0:29:23 > 0:29:25So you've read between the lines?

0:29:25 > 0:29:26The similarities are glaring.

0:29:29 > 0:29:30She's saying Regina is...

0:29:30 > 0:29:32Finish it and then we can talk.

0:29:32 > 0:29:34I insist.

0:29:40 > 0:29:43Thanks for the scarf, it's beautiful.

0:29:43 > 0:29:46You should see Mrs Bligh's scarves, though.

0:29:46 > 0:29:49There's this silk one, just the feel of it...

0:29:49 > 0:29:51She lets you wear them?

0:29:51 > 0:29:53- That's lovely. - I try them on when she goes out.

0:29:53 > 0:29:55Guess what?

0:29:55 > 0:29:58I've got a boyfriend, sort of.

0:29:58 > 0:29:59It's a wonder you've got time.

0:29:59 > 0:30:02He works next door. He sneaks over.

0:30:02 > 0:30:03You'll get yourself fired.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05What does Mrs Bligh think of that?

0:30:05 > 0:30:07Mrs Bligh doesn't mind.

0:30:07 > 0:30:10If it's not too much, and she's a woman of the world.

0:30:10 > 0:30:12Don't tell Mr Bligh.

0:30:12 > 0:30:15You'll get yourself into trouble again.

0:30:15 > 0:30:17Listen to you, stuffy pants!

0:30:17 > 0:30:19You can take care of yourself, can't you?

0:30:19 > 0:30:21I should go and greet Father.

0:30:21 > 0:30:24- Could you drop us over? - Of course.

0:30:24 > 0:30:25I'll get the key.

0:30:26 > 0:30:31- Aren't you going? - Anna's got things to talk about.

0:30:31 > 0:30:32What things?

0:30:32 > 0:30:35- What? - What's Anna got to talk about?

0:30:35 > 0:30:38It's just... It feels strange over there.

0:30:39 > 0:30:40Strange, how?

0:30:42 > 0:30:44Everyone's almost too nice to Mrs Bligh.

0:30:46 > 0:30:49You know, they're awful to her most of the time.

0:30:49 > 0:30:51They must have their reasons.

0:30:51 > 0:30:53Anna's not very nice to her, either.

0:30:53 > 0:30:55- I'm just saying. - You're best out of it, Rosa.

0:30:57 > 0:30:59It's all Mrs Bligh. It's her fault.

0:30:59 > 0:31:01Whoa, don't take sides, huh?

0:31:01 > 0:31:02Mrs Bligh is one of the nicest people ever.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04- Maybe she...- What?

0:31:06 > 0:31:08- Maybe she's... - Are you ready?

0:31:08 > 0:31:09Yeah.

0:31:10 > 0:31:12- What?- Nothing.

0:31:13 > 0:31:16Rosa was just saying how much she likes Regina.

0:31:17 > 0:31:20Of course, yes. She's been good to you.

0:31:20 > 0:31:22We'll put your bike in the back.

0:31:35 > 0:31:38He's very young for a brother-in-law.

0:31:41 > 0:31:43- He's beautiful.- I'm biased.

0:31:45 > 0:31:46And happy.

0:31:47 > 0:31:49I'm sorry.

0:31:49 > 0:31:51- I'm sorry to break in on it. - Olivia...

0:31:52 > 0:31:53I have to be strong.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58I want to be strong.

0:32:02 > 0:32:04You're so strong.

0:32:10 > 0:32:11Tell me.

0:32:15 > 0:32:17I've felt a sense of who I am...

0:32:19 > 0:32:20..or might be...

0:32:22 > 0:32:23..twice in my life.

0:32:26 > 0:32:29At the Hunt Ball, when James first looked at me and...

0:32:31 > 0:32:33..I thought really saw me.

0:32:35 > 0:32:37I'd felt invisible, until then.

0:32:38 > 0:32:42And when Lloyd recognised...

0:32:45 > 0:32:47..the woman craving release.

0:32:51 > 0:32:52Both proved an illusion.

0:32:54 > 0:32:56Which makes my whole life one.

0:32:56 > 0:33:00- Surely...- From wallflower, to marriage of convenience,

0:33:00 > 0:33:03to confused mother,

0:33:03 > 0:33:05to naive adulteress!

0:33:05 > 0:33:09Mistaking a roue for a future.

0:33:09 > 0:33:11Lloyd got his entree into London society.

0:33:13 > 0:33:14I was no longer needed.

0:33:16 > 0:33:18I am so desperately lonely.

0:33:21 > 0:33:22I'm ready to scream.

0:33:26 > 0:33:31Both of the times you say you knew yourself you attribute to a man.

0:33:31 > 0:33:34So of course if he betrays you, you're left adrift.

0:33:34 > 0:33:38With luck, we all find someone who can support us,

0:33:38 > 0:33:42but that's not where we look for strength, that lies within.

0:33:43 > 0:33:46A truth wrapped in a platitude, I know.

0:33:49 > 0:33:51Ask - who am I?

0:33:52 > 0:33:55Not in relationship to someone else, but to yourself.

0:33:55 > 0:33:57Ask - what do I want to do?

0:33:57 > 0:34:00What is it that will fulfil me?

0:34:00 > 0:34:02What will fulfil you, Olivia, YOU?

0:34:07 > 0:34:08Pursue that...

0:34:10 > 0:34:11..and there's your strength.

0:34:15 > 0:34:16In here.

0:34:19 > 0:34:20To be found.

0:34:38 > 0:34:40Thank you. And thanks for the scarf.

0:34:41 > 0:34:43- I'll see to your bike.- Thank you.

0:34:45 > 0:34:47- It's nearly done. - I want the real Rose back.

0:34:48 > 0:34:50Well, maybe this is the real her.

0:34:51 > 0:34:52Sorry.

0:34:54 > 0:34:56You put her in harm's way, then you judge her.

0:34:56 > 0:34:58I am sorry.

0:34:58 > 0:34:59Do what you have to.

0:35:06 > 0:35:09Come on, Rose, let's show Carolyn your scarf.

0:35:13 > 0:35:16This is a vicious exercise in character assassination.

0:35:16 > 0:35:18What if I told you it's all true?

0:35:18 > 0:35:21You're telling me that Regina killed the young Davis woman

0:35:21 > 0:35:23- in trying to poison Sarah?- Yes.

0:35:23 > 0:35:24And you've said nothing until now?

0:35:24 > 0:35:26Well, we had no proof to offer.

0:35:26 > 0:35:27Exactly.

0:35:28 > 0:35:30I'm sorry, but this is monstrous.

0:35:30 > 0:35:34And that is exactly why we waited,

0:35:34 > 0:35:36to be able to bring you that proof.

0:35:36 > 0:35:40George, I know you must be feeling manipulated and excluded,

0:35:40 > 0:35:41I understand.

0:35:41 > 0:35:43But I am begging you.

0:35:43 > 0:35:45We've spent months preparing this.

0:35:45 > 0:35:48"We" very much includes Sarah.

0:35:55 > 0:35:57You'll be turning heads at the next Bush dance.

0:35:57 > 0:35:59I should hope so!

0:36:00 > 0:36:04You best check if you're needed, and I should find Father.

0:36:04 > 0:36:08- I'll see you later.- And mother wants to talk to you about your book.

0:36:08 > 0:36:10Not now.

0:36:10 > 0:36:12- You've written a book? - It's all right, Rose.

0:36:14 > 0:36:17It's in her room, if you need it back.

0:36:17 > 0:36:18Thank you, Rose.

0:36:23 > 0:36:25- Not in front of her. - She'd have no idea.

0:36:27 > 0:36:30The last thing we need is Regina getting wind of it.

0:36:30 > 0:36:33If this doesn't make Father divorce her, nothing will.

0:36:37 > 0:36:40That certainly blew away the cobwebs.

0:36:40 > 0:36:41You have quite a seat on you.

0:36:41 > 0:36:44Cheeky man!

0:36:44 > 0:36:46I always found it wildly suggestive myself.

0:36:46 > 0:36:48Ma'am, there's something...

0:36:49 > 0:36:51I better go and check on Lizzie.

0:36:55 > 0:36:57Gino was hiding something, I could tell.

0:36:57 > 0:36:59But then Anna came back, so he didn't say.

0:36:59 > 0:37:00Whatever it was, he was cross with her,

0:37:00 > 0:37:03and then Mrs Duncan was talking about some book

0:37:03 > 0:37:05and Anna got real funny and I could tell she was...

0:37:05 > 0:37:07Stop! The point, please.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11Anna's written a book. Old Mrs Bligh's got it.

0:37:11 > 0:37:12I think it's to hurt you.

0:38:45 > 0:38:46Time enough, I think.

0:38:49 > 0:38:50Good luck.

0:38:50 > 0:38:52Give her curry.

0:38:52 > 0:38:53Watch the old ticker.

0:39:04 > 0:39:06What are you doing in here?

0:39:06 > 0:39:08What are you doing with that?

0:39:08 > 0:39:11This explains your welcome.

0:39:11 > 0:39:13You hypocritical old hag.

0:39:13 > 0:39:14You give that to me and get out.

0:39:14 > 0:39:16This is what that little bitch was doing in Italy,

0:39:16 > 0:39:19penning a catalogue of lies!

0:39:19 > 0:39:20We both know it's true.

0:39:20 > 0:39:22There's not a shred of truth in it.

0:39:22 > 0:39:24Then why are you so agitated?

0:39:25 > 0:39:27Because that Nordmann slut used similar tales

0:39:27 > 0:39:30to try and see me arrested.

0:39:30 > 0:39:32I assume it was her who got in your ear.

0:39:32 > 0:39:34You seem scared, Regina.

0:39:36 > 0:39:37Disgusted.

0:39:39 > 0:39:42It's a filthy, scurrilous slander.

0:39:44 > 0:39:46And I will sue Anna and any publisher who touches it.

0:39:46 > 0:39:48Oh, please do.

0:39:48 > 0:39:50Do us the favour.

0:39:50 > 0:39:54The stronger your reaction, the greater the conjecture.

0:39:54 > 0:39:56You may have Sergeant Taylor under the thumb,

0:39:56 > 0:39:59but sufficient fuss could see an investigation at levels

0:39:59 > 0:40:00well above his.

0:40:02 > 0:40:04And no proof to back it?

0:40:04 > 0:40:06But a highly circumstantial case.

0:40:10 > 0:40:11Has George seen this?

0:40:13 > 0:40:15He will. Soon enough.

0:40:15 > 0:40:20If he reads this, if anyone does, beyond your malicious inner cabal,

0:40:20 > 0:40:23I will reveal every sordid truth I know!

0:40:24 > 0:40:28Your grandson and his sodomite surgeon,

0:40:28 > 0:40:32Olivia, the adulterous whore, and George's bastard.

0:40:33 > 0:40:35Speaking of which...

0:40:36 > 0:40:40..infant mortality rates are such a concern.

0:40:42 > 0:40:45If you've killed once, you can kill again.

0:40:46 > 0:40:48So you admit it.

0:40:48 > 0:40:49Hypothetically.

0:40:51 > 0:40:53Go on, take the risk.

0:40:54 > 0:40:56Not even you would hurt a child.

0:40:59 > 0:41:01The Jew's brat?

0:41:03 > 0:41:04With pleasure.

0:41:06 > 0:41:10I want every copy of this in my room within the hour and if I learn there

0:41:10 > 0:41:14are others, if it ever appears in print, if George ever knows...

0:41:16 > 0:41:18..I will destroy the lot of you.

0:41:48 > 0:41:50- It's ironed, ma'am.- Thank you.

0:41:53 > 0:41:54And for your information.

0:42:05 > 0:42:08Buy yourself something, next time we're in town.

0:42:08 > 0:42:09Ma'am...

0:42:10 > 0:42:11You've done very well.

0:42:29 > 0:42:30George.

0:42:32 > 0:42:34We have a tiger by the tail.

0:42:35 > 0:42:37- You understand why we did... - I do.

0:42:38 > 0:42:39I do.

0:42:41 > 0:42:43Without proof, I would have doubted you.

0:42:45 > 0:42:48There's no point in involving the local police.

0:42:48 > 0:42:51- She'd be incarcerated by now, if they were.- Yes, of course.

0:42:53 > 0:42:55Publishing is one road to justice.

0:42:57 > 0:43:00- But we need something more definitive.- Oh, I agree.

0:43:04 > 0:43:05She's played me.

0:43:08 > 0:43:10I need to stare that truth in the face.

0:43:14 > 0:43:15And see her where she belongs.

0:43:30 > 0:43:32Call it a review of your pedestrian prose!

0:43:32 > 0:43:34- How dare you! - One word to George, you all suffer.

0:43:36 > 0:43:38Your engagement is punishment enough.

0:43:39 > 0:43:43There you are. I'm popping in to check on the new hospital wing,

0:43:43 > 0:43:45I thought you might like to join me.

0:43:45 > 0:43:46I'd love to.

0:43:47 > 0:43:49It's so good to be home.

0:43:50 > 0:43:53Perhaps Elizabeth might like to join us?

0:43:53 > 0:43:55I've just asked her, she declined.

0:43:55 > 0:43:57Perhaps you could check on her?

0:43:57 > 0:43:58She looks a little beat.

0:43:59 > 0:44:00Shall we?

0:44:13 > 0:44:14- Are you all right?- I'm all right.

0:44:14 > 0:44:16He knows?

0:44:16 > 0:44:18He has to, doesn't he?

0:44:18 > 0:44:20We'll see.

0:44:20 > 0:44:22It went to perfection.

0:44:26 > 0:44:29It'll be a wonderful facility, when it's done.

0:44:31 > 0:44:32How's the budget going?

0:44:33 > 0:44:36I'll show you, if you have time.

0:44:36 > 0:44:38Would you mind waiting?

0:44:38 > 0:44:41- I'll be outside in the sun. - I won't be a moment.

0:44:55 > 0:44:58Mother tells me you're aware of this...

0:44:58 > 0:44:59this situation.

0:45:01 > 0:45:04I've only recently been enlightened.

0:45:04 > 0:45:06Ah.

0:45:06 > 0:45:07I did wonder.

0:45:08 > 0:45:10Why the charade?

0:45:10 > 0:45:11She's made threats...

0:45:13 > 0:45:14..to the entire family.

0:45:16 > 0:45:19I need her feeling secure before I make my move.

0:45:19 > 0:45:21What can I do?

0:45:22 > 0:45:24I might require your signature on some documents.

0:45:24 > 0:45:26Of course.

0:45:28 > 0:45:30If anyone had told me this morning that this...

0:45:35 > 0:45:37One thing, before you go.

0:46:00 > 0:46:05And she's made threats against both James and Henry.

0:46:05 > 0:46:07Now, there's no immediate cause for concern,

0:46:07 > 0:46:10but I trust they're not staying together tonight?

0:46:10 > 0:46:11Not to my knowledge.

0:46:12 > 0:46:14I knew there was something going on.

0:46:14 > 0:46:16Well, we didn't want you bothered with it.

0:46:16 > 0:46:18There's little choice now.

0:46:19 > 0:46:22If I may suggest, perhaps go down to the city in the morning

0:46:22 > 0:46:23and locate him?

0:46:23 > 0:46:26He should be seen with his wife, in case she spreads her malice.

0:46:26 > 0:46:28You're right.

0:46:28 > 0:46:32I've made decisions about my future anyway, which I'm keen to share.

0:46:34 > 0:46:36Well, you do seem somewhat lighter.

0:46:37 > 0:46:38Focused.

0:46:40 > 0:46:41James, first.

0:46:43 > 0:46:45You've had us worried, you know.

0:46:46 > 0:46:47I've had myself worried.

0:46:48 > 0:46:50No more.

0:46:50 > 0:46:52CRYING

0:46:52 > 0:46:54I'll leave first thing.

0:46:58 > 0:47:00It's all right, it's all right.

0:47:21 > 0:47:23So now things take their course.

0:47:23 > 0:47:25It's hard to believe it's nearly over.

0:47:26 > 0:47:29I'd love to know George's intentions.

0:47:29 > 0:47:31But the less we know, the less likely we'll tip his hand.

0:47:31 > 0:47:34I suspect that's his thinking.

0:47:51 > 0:47:53Well?

0:47:53 > 0:47:56It's done, but, things have to stay as they are.

0:47:58 > 0:48:00And George, he believes it, he accepts it all?

0:48:00 > 0:48:02But Regina can't know he does.

0:48:02 > 0:48:04He's got some plan for her.

0:48:04 > 0:48:06Sees her behind bars.

0:48:06 > 0:48:07And Rose?

0:48:07 > 0:48:09Just a little bit longer.

0:48:09 > 0:48:12HE MUTTERS What?

0:48:12 > 0:48:13- I've had it!- Gino...

0:48:13 > 0:48:15It's always something, Anna!

0:48:15 > 0:48:18Some plot, some scheme, some lies, use Rose, who cares?

0:48:18 > 0:48:21A baby dies, you buy a new one, someone's poisoned, forget the cops,

0:48:21 > 0:48:24let's do it ourselves. Your family is sick!

0:48:24 > 0:48:26- It's all... - No, no, no, I don't care!

0:48:26 > 0:48:30Now you can't even give me a son, what's the point?!

0:48:30 > 0:48:31You don't mean that!

0:48:37 > 0:48:38Yeah.

0:48:40 > 0:48:41I do.

0:48:44 > 0:48:46What is the point?

0:49:01 > 0:49:04Oh, I thought Mrs Bligh was back.

0:49:05 > 0:49:07You should be out on your ear, with no reference.

0:49:08 > 0:49:10What have I done?

0:49:10 > 0:49:12The picture of innocence!

0:49:12 > 0:49:16If you can't resist your nature, the truth is there, to be read.

0:49:38 > 0:49:42- Where did you get that? - Old Mrs Bligh just dropped them in.

0:49:42 > 0:49:44- Just?- Only just.

0:49:44 > 0:49:46- How much have you read?- A few words.

0:49:48 > 0:49:50Good.

0:49:50 > 0:49:52"House Of Lies."

0:49:52 > 0:49:53The title says it all.

0:49:55 > 0:49:58You're the one person I can trust, my darling.

0:49:59 > 0:50:00And Mr Bligh.

0:50:01 > 0:50:03Of course.

0:50:03 > 0:50:06That old woman was so horrible to me.

0:50:06 > 0:50:09Oh, and then I was mean.

0:50:10 > 0:50:11I'm sorry.

0:50:13 > 0:50:15Oh, you've been such a support.

0:50:20 > 0:50:24There's only one thing these are good for.

0:51:21 > 0:51:22So it's done?

0:51:26 > 0:51:28It is.

0:51:28 > 0:51:29And now, justice.

0:51:31 > 0:51:33In a way that sees us all safe.

0:51:39 > 0:51:41Hello, David.

0:51:44 > 0:51:45Jack showed you?

0:51:51 > 0:51:52David Bligh.

0:51:57 > 0:51:59How could I love you and deny you that?
