-Guard.

-Quiet.

0:00:020:00:03

I need to see Dr Samuels.

0:00:030:00:04

I've made a decision.

0:00:040:00:07

She's finally offering a divorce.

0:00:070:00:09

I will accept full blame.

0:00:090:00:11

If you agree to this, you will rue the day.

0:00:110:00:14

I can't see her being released simply because of this.

0:00:140:00:16

We have to find a way to work together.

0:00:160:00:18

It's not going to be by me compromising my standards.

0:00:180:00:21

-I saw your paintings.

-Yes.

0:00:210:00:23

-They're lovely.

-It's no good.

0:00:230:00:25

I've seen a lot worse than this on exhibition.

0:00:250:00:27

Oh, my God.

0:00:270:00:29

You cannot take it.

0:00:290:00:32

That's a signed Namatjira.

0:00:320:00:34

I'm finding the second book a struggle.

0:00:360:00:38

What about your bottom drawer?

0:00:380:00:40

Tender Vines. Perhaps I've been wrong.

0:00:400:00:43

Let's talk about publication.

0:00:430:00:45

HE COUGHS VIOLENTLY

0:00:490:00:52

Oh, God. An ambulance.

0:00:520:00:55

Does Isaac know that you're seeing him?

0:00:550:00:58

-He's not Jewish, of course not.

-It would break your uncle's heart.

0:00:580:01:01

He's dragging me off to Israel, he's breaking mine.

0:01:010:01:04

Her clothes are missing, her bag. She's run away.

0:01:040:01:07

She is Jewish. She cannot deny that.

0:01:070:01:10

-And David?

-It's his heritage as well as hers.

0:01:100:01:13

This is something we have to face.

0:01:130:01:15

It may mean there is no wedding.

0:01:150:01:17

EXPLOSION

0:01:320:01:34

-FILM COMMENTARY:

-Every major city in the world faces becoming

0:01:360:01:39

a Nagasaki or Hiroshima

0:01:390:01:42

unless mankind confronts the outstanding issue of 1958...

0:01:420:01:47

..what to do about the hydrogen bomb.

0:01:480:01:51

This weapon, if ever used again,

0:01:510:01:53

will cause unimaginable destruction

0:01:530:01:56

and produce terrible effects on generations as yet unborn.

0:01:560:02:00

Can nations of the world unite to conquer man's unerring...?

0:02:020:02:06

LAUGHTER AND CHATTER

0:02:060:02:08

You should have sat with us.

0:02:230:02:25

Well, I was hoping I might catch Leah Gold sneaking in.

0:02:250:02:28

She's obsessed with Marilyn Monroe.

0:02:280:02:30

If she were anywhere in the vicinity...

0:02:300:02:33

-How long has it been?

-Two days.

0:02:330:02:35

-No George?

-No.

0:02:370:02:39

Righto, ladies. Now, what we've got to find is one of these grates

0:02:410:02:44

-full of hot air!

-Ignore him.

0:02:440:02:46

Cos I reckon Dawnie could give old Marilyn a run for her money

0:02:460:02:50

-in the pins department, especially when you go like that!

-Oh! Don't!

0:02:500:02:53

Drains in Inverness don't blow hot air!

0:02:530:02:55

Unlike you, Roy Briggs.

0:02:550:02:57

Next fancy dress party, that's what you're wearing!

0:02:570:02:59

Those two are funnier than the film.

0:02:590:03:01

I really thought she'd be here.

0:03:030:03:05

I foolishly gave Isaac hope.

0:03:060:03:08

-Good luck.

-Thanks.

0:03:090:03:10

-Night, Jack.

-Night.

0:03:100:03:12

-Something's going on.

-Hm?

0:03:130:03:15

George and Sarah.

0:03:150:03:17

If I could have got that ratbag boy today, I tell you.

0:03:270:03:30

We agreed you're to leave him to me.

0:03:300:03:32

This selfish girl, this isn't my Leah.

0:03:320:03:34

-I didn't raise her to be like this.

-It's just her time to rebel.

0:03:340:03:37

All my savings have been spent on these tickets.

0:03:370:03:40

I... I know.

0:03:400:03:41

The life there.

0:03:430:03:45

The kibbutz life.

0:03:450:03:47

Huh.

0:03:500:03:51

This is Miriam's. For Leah.

0:03:540:03:57

You can mind them for her.

0:04:010:04:02

Hamantaschen.

0:04:100:04:12

Rugelach.

0:04:120:04:14

This takes me back to Paris before the war.

0:04:140:04:17

David's in for a treat.

0:04:180:04:20

Look, I...

0:04:220:04:24

I don't understand my religion well, I'm the first to admit it.

0:04:240:04:28

You put me in the synagogue,

0:04:280:04:30

I'm standing up, everybody's sitting down!

0:04:300:04:32

-Yes.

-You know?

0:04:320:04:34

But what I do know is that...

0:04:340:04:37

..yeah, it's always felt good to be Jewish.

0:04:390:04:41

And that's what I want her to have.

0:04:420:04:44

And to pass down.

0:04:450:04:47

-The traditions.

-Yeah.

0:04:480:04:51

Together we go to Israel

0:04:510:04:53

to see the hope and the promise.

0:04:530:04:56

But I know that if she turns away from Judaism now...

0:04:580:05:01

..she'll never come back.

0:05:030:05:05

RATTLING

0:05:200:05:22

FLOORBOARDS CREAK

0:05:220:05:24

METALLIC BANG

0:05:360:05:37

-HE SHOUTS

-Oh!

0:05:490:05:51

HE LAUGHS

0:05:510:05:53

Larry, you idiot.

0:05:530:05:54

Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was a joke.

0:05:540:05:57

-Are you all right? Are you OK?

-Yeah, yeah, I'm all right.

0:05:570:06:00

OK, you sit down because I got you something.

0:06:000:06:04

Sit down.

0:06:040:06:05

I got you some food and I think you should eat it before it gets cold.

0:06:050:06:09

What?

0:06:160:06:18

I can't help worrying about Uncle Isaac.

0:06:210:06:23

He'll be all right. I promise.

0:06:250:06:27

Just so I'm clear, on his school form, for instance,

0:06:320:06:35

under religion, you'd prefer if we put Jewish.

0:06:350:06:38

Then what?

0:06:410:06:43

I'm trying to understand.

0:06:430:06:45

For David to be Jewish.

0:06:450:06:47

-But if it's passed down the mother's line, then...

-To know that he is.

0:06:470:06:50

Each night, he kneels to say his prayers to Jesus.

0:06:520:06:55

You taught him that, your family too.

0:06:550:06:57

But why haven't I taught him the Shema, the children's prayer?

0:06:570:06:59

-In Hebrew?

-I'm not blaming you, I'm the one who's let it slip.

0:06:590:07:03

-Can he say both? The...

-Shema.

0:07:030:07:05

The Shema, and his other prayers.

0:07:050:07:08

Isn't that why we did both when he was born, the Bris and the baptism?

0:07:080:07:11

It's all weighted on your side, though, isn't it?

0:07:110:07:13

-My side?

-He goes to church each week, and now it's Sunday school.

0:07:130:07:17

He comes home full of stories about miracles

0:07:170:07:19

and disciples and the devil.

0:07:190:07:21

And all he knows about Judaism is that when we go to the Golds'

0:07:210:07:24

he has to wear a funny hat.

0:07:240:07:26

And singing the Shema at night, it's hardly a balance.

0:07:270:07:30

Why don't we look at this from another angle.

0:07:320:07:35

You are a wonderful mother. I do my best.

0:07:370:07:39

You do more than that.

0:07:390:07:41

We have a very happy little boy who could simply choose his own religion

0:07:410:07:45

when he's old enough.

0:07:450:07:46

If we lived near a synagogue, but we don't,

0:07:480:07:50

then we can't be part of the Jewish community.

0:07:500:07:53

and I accept that.

0:07:530:07:54

I also accept that if...

0:07:560:07:57

..when we marry, it won't be under a chuppah, so be it.

0:07:580:08:01

-But when it comes to my child's future...

-Our child.

0:08:010:08:05

What was it all for?

0:08:050:08:06

Millions of men, women and children died.

0:08:080:08:11

-What is it for?

-He certainly doesn't need to learn that.

0:08:110:08:14

-If I'm...

-Not yet.

-..so upset about Leah turning her back on her

0:08:140:08:17

faith, her family and culture, how can I not raise my son as Jewish?

0:08:170:08:22

And if we can't agree on that, then I don't see how we can marry.

0:08:220:08:25

Let's not turn this into a catastrophe.

0:08:250:08:27

I can't marry you unless we agreed that David will be raised as a Jew.

0:08:270:08:32

-The Blighs are Church of England.

-The Nordmanns aren't.

0:08:320:08:34

David isn't a Nordmann. He's a Bligh.

0:08:340:08:37

Is it really this or nothing?

0:08:460:08:48

Yes.

0:08:530:08:54

No.

0:08:540:08:55

After all we've been through.

0:08:570:08:58

Perhaps because of all we've been through.

0:09:000:09:03

We have a lot to consider.

0:09:050:09:07

Yes.

0:09:090:09:10

You're joking, aren't you?

0:09:190:09:21

It was a mistake to offer it for publication.

0:09:210:09:24

I made a mistake.

0:09:240:09:26

Tender Vines has tremendous potential.

0:09:260:09:29

I've been writing nothing but rubbish all year.

0:09:290:09:31

I panicked.

0:09:310:09:33

You're not the first writer in the world to struggle.

0:09:330:09:36

Struggle's one thing.

0:09:360:09:37

There were some days when I thought I'd be better off dead.

0:09:370:09:40

And if we publish Tender Vines I'd have a book out, yes,

0:09:400:09:44

but then there's the interviews and all the ballyhoo.

0:09:440:09:46

I'd be flung back into the past and...

0:09:460:09:49

I can't.

0:09:500:09:52

Are the memories that painful?

0:09:530:09:55

My grand failure.

0:09:560:09:58

I'll make it up to you.

0:09:580:10:00

Never mind me, it's you.

0:10:000:10:03

It's for the best.

0:10:030:10:04

I've never known a writer to destroy

0:10:060:10:08

what sounded like a perfectly wonderful novel.

0:10:080:10:10

Then you've never met...

0:10:140:10:16

me.

0:10:160:10:17

Darling, I know this may seem urgent, but...

0:10:380:10:41

I just want to get it done.

0:10:410:10:42

The doctor was very specific this morning - go home and rest.

0:10:420:10:46

I'm lying down.

0:10:460:10:48

Bed rest is what he meant.

0:10:480:10:49

-TELEPHONE RINGS

-Oh, goodness.

0:10:490:10:52

Good evening. Surrey Street refuge.

0:10:520:10:55

Elizabeth. I've been trying you at home for a while.

0:10:550:10:57

Just took a pot shot you might be there.

0:10:570:10:59

-Yes, we certainly are.

-Doing what?

0:10:590:11:02

Yes, that's right.

0:11:020:11:04

Daffodils.

0:11:060:11:07

He coughed himself into a haemorrhage.

0:11:090:11:11

He's just out of hospital.

0:11:110:11:13

He should be resting until he gets his results.

0:11:130:11:15

I've been told there's no need for the letter.

0:11:150:11:18

Well, of course he needs to get his results.

0:11:180:11:20

Let me speak to him.

0:11:200:11:22

Er, Jack would like a word.

0:11:220:11:24

Ah, not right now.

0:11:240:11:26

Did you hear that?

0:11:260:11:28

Is George still coming down tomorrow?

0:11:280:11:30

You want him to have a word with Douglas, is that what you're saying?

0:11:320:11:35

That would be lovely, thank you, Jack.

0:11:350:11:38

Mm. Bye-bye.

0:11:380:11:40

-Sarah not coming up?

-Not tonight.

0:11:450:11:48

Regina.

0:11:490:11:51

No, that's not the problem.

0:11:520:11:54

She has had some tension with Henry,

0:11:560:11:59

-perhaps his staying here is a strain?

-Not at all, not at all.

0:11:590:12:02

I... I certainly enjoy his company.

0:12:020:12:05

-How's Douglas?

-He's ignoring orders to rest.

0:12:050:12:08

-Reluctant to return for his results.

-That's ridiculous.

0:12:080:12:11

Elizabeth's very anxious.

0:12:110:12:13

-I'll talk to him when we go down there.

-She'd appreciate that.

0:12:130:12:16

Here he is.

0:12:180:12:19

A letter from James.

0:12:190:12:21

Nothing that can't be shared.

0:12:210:12:23

-I'll leave it here.

-Oh, won't you join us?

0:12:240:12:27

Ah, thank you, but big day tomorrow.

0:12:270:12:30

-Goodnight, all.

-Goodnight.

0:12:300:12:31

Goodnight, Henry. Sleep well.

0:12:310:12:33

Excuse me.

0:12:330:12:35

Jack, would you mind closing the door, please?

0:12:370:12:39

Sure.

0:12:390:12:40

If this could be kept between the two of us?

0:12:470:12:49

Sarah and I are having a...

0:12:510:12:53

..an argument.

0:12:540:12:55

About?

0:12:550:12:58

Religion.

0:12:580:12:59

-Excuse me.

-Henry.

0:13:000:13:02

Just wondering about the surgeon's residence.

0:13:040:13:06

When do you expect to move in?

0:13:080:13:10

I'm not a builder, Jack.

0:13:110:13:13

Working together and living under the same roof...

0:13:150:13:18

-..may not have been the best idea.

-Ahem, well...

0:13:200:13:22

You see, the thing is, James Bligh invited me to stay here.

0:13:240:13:27

Just as Carolyn nee Bligh invited you, I imagine.

0:13:270:13:30

But, of course, if you, Dr Duncan, would like me to make

0:13:310:13:33

alternative arrangements, then by all means all you have to do is ask.

0:13:330:13:37

No hard feelings, then?

0:13:390:13:41

Tricky adrenalectomy in the morning. Goodnight.

0:13:420:13:45

-George.

-It's a fundamental part of who we are.

0:13:520:13:55

Well, speak for yourself. I don't believe in any of it, sorry.

0:13:550:13:58

David will be an heir to Ash Park.

0:13:580:14:01

The heir to Ash Park has always been Church of England.

0:14:010:14:03

Why do you go to church?

0:14:030:14:05

-I do, that's the point.

-Because it's a habit.

0:14:050:14:08

A sore bottom and boredom once a week.

0:14:080:14:10

Habit or not, and I don't happen to agree with you, by the way,

0:14:100:14:13

the church is where we learn our moral values.

0:14:130:14:15

Jews live moral lives.

0:14:150:14:17

Atheists live moral lives.

0:14:170:14:19

And it's not as if Sarah is over-religious, she's not.

0:14:190:14:21

She's...

0:14:210:14:22

How do they put it? Observant.

0:14:230:14:25

She's observant.

0:14:250:14:27

-Do you ever pray?

-Do I...

0:14:270:14:28

I'm praying right now, Carolyn.

0:14:310:14:32

I'm praying that my sister will leave me in peace

0:14:320:14:34

so I can enjoy this very fine brandy.

0:14:340:14:37

Oh, my dear brother.

0:14:390:14:41

We Blighs, led by you,

0:14:410:14:44

have stretched ourselves to accommodate so much.

0:14:440:14:48

Anna's conversion to Catholicism, James and how he is,

0:14:480:14:51

his lover stays under our roof, yours nearby.

0:14:510:14:54

The woman you love has a burning desire to see your Jewish child

0:14:550:14:59

raised in that faith.

0:14:590:15:01

Can you honestly counter you have an equal desire to see him raised C of E?

0:15:010:15:04

Don't work too late.

0:15:100:15:12

And choose your battles wisely.

0:15:130:15:15

Night.

0:15:210:15:23

Goodnight.

0:15:240:15:25

DULL ROAR

0:15:400:15:43

SHE WHIMPERS

0:15:500:15:52

GUNSHOT

0:15:570:15:59

SHE SCREAMS

0:15:590:16:00

SHE PANTS

0:16:000:16:04

Forgive me.

0:16:040:16:05

Forgive me. Forgive me, forgive me.

0:16:070:16:09

Forgive me.

0:16:090:16:12

In all of the recurring dreams, Regina,

0:16:140:16:17

or similar dreams of anger and hatred, revenge,

0:16:170:16:21

remembering that these dreams and the feelings they invoke

0:16:210:16:25

could be signposts in your recovery.

0:16:250:16:27

I sleep straight through the night, or so it seems.

0:16:290:16:31

We've put you through quite a journey, haven't we, Regina?

0:16:330:16:36

ELECTRICAL BUZZING

0:16:360:16:39

I'm so very grateful you came here when you did, doctor.

0:16:390:16:42

I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for you.

0:16:430:16:46

I'm merely the facilitator, you're the one who's done the work.

0:16:460:16:49

Everything for the good.

0:16:530:16:56

Tell me what you're thinking about?

0:16:560:16:58

SHE CRIES

0:16:580:17:00

The same thing I was thinking over breakfast.

0:17:020:17:04

whether the snails had got into my lovely little garden bed

0:17:040:17:07

after all that rain.

0:17:070:17:09

What say we play hooky today, hm?

0:17:100:17:12

Combine your talk therapy with a stroll.

0:17:120:17:15

Check on those snails?

0:17:150:17:17

Yes.

0:17:180:17:19

Yes, please.

0:17:190:17:21

-Do you like jazz?

-When it's good.

0:17:280:17:31

The Australian Quartet's playing all this week.

0:17:320:17:35

Last gig before they head off to America.

0:17:350:17:37

-Ha!

-What?

-Last gig?

0:17:380:17:41

That's what we hip folk say, man!

0:17:420:17:44

So, shall we go one night?

0:17:470:17:48

-I'm off, I'm afraid.

-Sorry?

0:17:500:17:52

I've been thinking it over and, um,

0:17:520:17:55

a girl can't sit around waiting for inspiration

0:17:550:17:58

so I'm heading up to Ash Park for a while.

0:17:580:18:00

-You'll be coming back down here?

-No, I'll stay put.

0:18:020:18:05

Here I'm restless as a willow in a wind storm or a gale.

0:18:050:18:09

And Vanessa's helped me deliver the goods in the past so, hopefully,

0:18:100:18:13

busy, busy, busy.

0:18:130:18:15

And you're not intending to invite me up, are you?

0:18:160:18:19

No.

0:18:200:18:21

You'll give me the first read?

0:18:240:18:26

Oh! Only if you don't nag.

0:18:260:18:29

Now, I have to pack.

0:18:290:18:30

Good morning.

0:18:460:18:48

We're closing for lunch now, Miss, you can come back tomorrow.

0:18:480:18:51

I'm just checking in.

0:18:510:18:53

I really don't know, Miss...Sister.

0:19:010:19:04

Honest.

0:19:040:19:05

How do you think your mother would feel if you just disappeared?

0:19:070:19:10

-All right.

-Really?

0:19:120:19:13

Or arrested, taken to the station?

0:19:130:19:15

-I've done nothing wrong.

-Withholding information from authorities,

0:19:150:19:18

that's a charge.

0:19:180:19:19

You'd never forgive yourself if something happened to her.

0:19:210:19:24

Where do you think she might have gone?

0:19:270:19:29

Just... That Israel joint, that's all I know.

0:19:300:19:33

It's a country called Israel, it's not an Israel joint.

0:19:330:19:36

Well, that's a real interesting lesson, Miss,

0:19:370:19:39

but I've got mates waiting.

0:19:390:19:41

One, two, a-one, two, three...

0:19:540:19:57

# Well, bless my soul what's wrong with me?

0:19:570:20:00

# I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy tree

0:20:000:20:04

# My friends say I'm acting wild as a bug

0:20:040:20:06

# I'm in love

0:20:060:20:08

# I'm all shook up

0:20:080:20:10

# Uh-huh-huh

0:20:100:20:12

# Mmmmm

0:20:120:20:13

# Yeah

0:20:130:20:15

# Well, my hands are shaky and my knees are weak

0:20:150:20:19

# I can't seem to... #

0:20:190:20:21

Leah? Leah, Leah, please.

0:20:210:20:24

I'm trying to help you. I know you don't believe me.

0:20:240:20:27

No, I'm not going with him. He can't make me go, please, Sarah!

0:20:270:20:30

He can't, it's true, he can't make you go.

0:20:300:20:32

No, you're on his side.

0:20:320:20:33

-Look, you just need to go to the house and talk to him.

-No, no!

0:20:330:20:36

-He's your uncle.

-No!

-And he's worried.

0:20:360:20:38

It's all about the war and the guilt. I'm sick of it.

0:20:380:20:41

Why can't I live the life I want?

0:20:410:20:43

That's a terrible thing to say.

0:20:430:20:45

Now, let's just tell him you're safe.

0:20:480:20:51

If you're so keen on Israel, why don't you go there?

0:20:550:20:58

-I'm sorry, but I'm not baby...

-It's this boy.

-..I'm an adult.

0:21:010:21:04

-He's a Gentile.

-Isaac, let her speak.

0:21:040:21:06

I don't want to go with you.

0:21:070:21:09

You will go if I have to drag you up the gangplank.

0:21:090:21:12

-Isaac!

-You will not marry out, this is not what Miriam would want.

0:21:120:21:15

-Please!

-All she did for you, looked after you,

0:21:150:21:17

and you give your virginity up to a goy?

0:21:170:21:20

-Where is your self respect?

-Uncle!

0:21:200:21:23

You go and have a test at the doctor's and prove me that I'm wrong.

0:21:240:21:27

Go and have test!

0:21:280:21:30

Because I'm right!

0:21:360:21:38

She'll just run away again, and why wouldn't she?

0:21:470:21:50

Then I will nail her window shut.

0:21:510:21:53

What is it that you want for her?

0:21:530:21:55

Really want?

0:21:560:21:58

That she should live a good life.

0:22:010:22:04

And that she should be happy.

0:22:060:22:08

Yes, so we have to be a lot smarter than this.

0:22:080:22:11

I talked her into coming home and you ruin it in one fell swoop.

0:22:110:22:15

Let me try and strike a deal with her.

0:22:150:22:17

So that she can come with me?

0:22:190:22:21

So that you don't lose her for good.

0:22:220:22:24

Just hold that down for a few minutes, thanks.

0:22:330:22:36

-Any hypos since I last saw you?

-No.

0:22:380:22:41

Any problems checking your levels at home?

0:22:420:22:45

-No.

-Good.

0:22:450:22:48

Well, keep taking the tablets.

0:22:480:22:51

Stick to the diet, watch your sugar.

0:22:510:22:53

Do you usually go along?

0:22:560:22:58

Anzac Day?

0:23:000:23:01

Depends where I am.

0:23:010:23:03

Don't reckon there's any such thing as the war experience. You?

0:23:060:23:09

Every man's different.

0:23:090:23:11

I was on the Burma railway.

0:23:140:23:16

That new film, Bridge On The River Kwai,

0:23:220:23:24

I'm not sure I'll be seeing that one.

0:23:240:23:25

There's a few blokes around here who were on the Kokoda Track...

0:23:290:23:32

..who ended up in Changi.

0:23:340:23:36

-Can I let go?

-Yeah.

0:23:380:23:40

TELEPHPONE RINGS IN DISTANCE

0:23:430:23:46

-I'll see you in a week.

-Thank you.

0:23:470:23:49

Changi was a holiday camp.

0:23:580:24:00

That's what we reckon, anyway.

0:24:020:24:04

Where were you, then?

0:24:060:24:07

And here we are.

0:24:190:24:22

Mrs Goddard has been calling.

0:24:220:24:24

Thank you, Lynette.

0:24:240:24:26

-This is so nice.

-Not so fast.

0:24:260:24:28

Your uncle thinks you and Larry have slept together.

0:24:300:24:33

-Is he right?

-No.

0:24:330:24:35

I believe you.

0:24:380:24:39

And I trust you'll tell me if that's likely to change

0:24:410:24:43

-while you live at Ash Park.

-Yes.

0:24:430:24:45

And just because you're here doesn't mean you're cutting ties with him,

0:24:450:24:48

-you're to write to your uncle every week.

-OK.

0:24:480:24:51

And you have to pull your weight.

0:24:510:24:53

Look after David, respect our rules

0:24:530:24:55

and help at the women's clinic some days.

0:24:550:24:57

It's ten shillings a week with room and board...

0:24:570:25:00

..and you can change your mind tomorrow if you want to.

0:25:010:25:04

Do I still have to be a Jew?

0:25:040:25:06

For goodness' sake, Leah, you are!

0:25:060:25:09

You are a Jew.

0:25:090:25:10

And... Even if you changed your name to Heidi Mutter

0:25:120:25:15

and dressed in a dirndl,

0:25:150:25:17

brush up against an anti-Semite anywhere in the world and I can

0:25:170:25:20

assure you, you will never be let off the hook.

0:25:200:25:23

Now, you'll be sleeping up at the big house.

0:25:290:25:32

I need you to stay with David.

0:25:320:25:34

And you can put that down now.

0:25:390:25:41

Good Lord!

0:25:470:25:49

You're telling me she's down there now?

0:25:490:25:51

It's a good solution, she's lovely with David and he adores her.

0:25:510:25:54

Let me get this straight.

0:25:560:25:58

For the past four years we've had a perfect situation,

0:25:590:26:02

excellent maids whom my son also adores,

0:26:020:26:04

and now without any thought of consulting me,

0:26:040:26:06

you've hired a rebellious Jewish girl to replace them.

0:26:060:26:09

If someone doesn't intervene,

0:26:090:26:11

there'll be such an estrangement between her and Isaac.

0:26:110:26:13

That's his problem, it's not ours.

0:26:130:26:15

I promised her aunt I'd watch out for her.

0:26:150:26:17

Sarah...

0:26:200:26:21

..tell me really why she's here.

0:26:220:26:25

Well, it's been like a...

0:26:310:26:33

..like a bucket of cold water.

0:26:330:26:35

A wake-up call to the essence of how I live

0:26:360:26:39

or haven't been living as a Jew, yes.

0:26:390:26:41

She just needs some guidance, George.

0:26:450:26:47

I'm afraid she's not the only one.

0:26:520:26:54

CAR HORN TOOTS

0:26:540:26:57

Carolyn's waiting.

0:26:570:26:58

ON PHONE: He's actually just left now.

0:27:320:27:34

But he'll be going back to see her again, won't he?

0:27:340:27:36

Really, Elizabeth, it's not for us to discuss.

0:27:360:27:39

Well, I beg to differ!

0:27:390:27:41

I intend to use all my powers of persuasion to stop this.

0:27:410:27:44

George seemed reassured by the psychiatrist.

0:27:440:27:47

-He...

-Doctors can be duped!

0:27:470:27:49

Oh, Sarah, you and I both know she should have been put away for life.

0:27:490:27:53

Believe me, I wish I could stop him from going there, but...

0:27:530:27:56

-Hm, so he isn't listening to you, either.

-He has listened to me.

0:27:560:27:59

Huh.

0:27:590:28:01

It's just that I'm asking enough right now.

0:28:010:28:04

What could possibly be more important?

0:28:040:28:07

You've given him your opinion, I've given him my trust.

0:28:070:28:09

Now, it's up to him, it's his divorce.

0:28:090:28:12

Yes. Sarah, George can be weak, you know that.

0:28:120:28:14

He is often easily swayed.

0:28:140:28:17

He's good and decent.

0:28:170:28:19

That's not weak.

0:28:190:28:20

That really was Elizabeth Bligh talking.

0:28:200:28:24

-Oh.

-Let's finish this call.

0:28:240:28:26

Neither of us wants to argue, yes?

0:28:260:28:28

My best to Douglas for his health.

0:28:290:28:32

Thank you.

0:28:320:28:34

-I simply meant...

-I know.

0:28:370:28:38

She said I was being Elizabeth Bligh.

0:28:400:28:42

Ha, no chance of that, Lizzie, darling.

0:28:420:28:44

I just don't know how anyone could ever think

0:28:440:28:47

-of trusting Regina ever again.

-Don't worry.

0:28:470:28:49

I fear for them, Douglas.

0:28:490:28:51

They have their lives and we have ours.

0:28:510:28:55

-Oh, good, let me see.

-Phoebe thinks he has talent.

0:28:590:29:02

Speaking of which,

0:29:020:29:04

when are we getting another best seller from Anna Bligh?

0:29:040:29:06

-Soon. Soon.

-Good.

0:29:060:29:08

-Now, these?

-They're his watercolours from Central Australia.

0:29:100:29:13

In a Namatjira style.

0:29:130:29:15

These are what he seems to have been painting since he came to Inverness.

0:29:150:29:18

-The palette is much deeper.

-Mm.

-The greens.

0:29:180:29:21

You've discovered him, Mama.

0:29:210:29:23

Not so fast. Now, these are his Namatjira style, let's say.

0:29:230:29:27

This is the actual Namatjira that he has.

0:29:270:29:31

You know, one just sold for 100 Guineas at the David Jones art show.

0:29:310:29:34

You did have fun that night.

0:29:340:29:36

My husband told me he took lessons from him, Namatjira.

0:29:360:29:40

If it is a Namatjira.

0:29:400:29:42

-These desert ones here, he hasn't signed them.

-Not yet.

0:29:440:29:48

You may have stumbled across a forger, you know?

0:29:480:29:50

No, no.

0:29:520:29:54

-No.

-There's an awful lot of it about.

0:29:550:29:58

DISTANT SHOUTING

0:30:080:30:12

Faster! Faster!

0:30:120:30:14

Hurry up!

0:30:140:30:16

EXPLOSIONS

0:30:180:30:21

GUNFIRE

0:30:210:30:23

Supplies.

0:30:510:30:53

George. Oh, how lovely.

0:30:540:30:57

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness.

0:30:580:31:01

It's wonderful.

0:31:010:31:02

As to the matter of the divorce,

0:31:040:31:07

you've heard my views.

0:31:070:31:09

I'll leave it in your capable hands.

0:31:090:31:11

Tell me about Douglas.

0:31:140:31:16

Oh, George.

0:31:160:31:17

It was dreadful, it was truly dreadful.

0:31:170:31:20

I'm sure he persuaded the doctor to discharge him earlier.

0:31:220:31:25

Now he's acting as if nothing's happened.

0:31:250:31:27

I'm not sure what to do.

0:31:270:31:29

I've never really shaken off that bug I picked up in Cairo,

0:31:320:31:35

that's all it is.

0:31:350:31:37

Douglas, with respect, you need to return to your specialist

0:31:370:31:40

-for your results.

-I appreciate your concern.

0:31:400:31:42

I strongly advise you deal with this issue promptly.

0:31:420:31:46

Your procrastination

0:31:460:31:48

is causing mother distress.

0:31:480:31:51

Well, that's the pot calling the kettle black!

0:31:510:31:54

HE COUGHS VIOLENTLY

0:31:570:31:59

Sorry, George.

0:32:060:32:08

I'm sorry. The truth is I'm afraid.

0:32:100:32:13

Afraid this might be the beginning of the end.

0:32:160:32:20

Not for me, just for...

0:32:200:32:21

..what we have.

0:32:230:32:25

Hm.

0:32:270:32:28

Ignoring it won't make it go away.

0:32:300:32:32

It'll only make matters worse.

0:32:330:32:35

For mother?

0:32:380:32:39

I confirmed the appointment.

0:32:470:32:48

Good idea.

0:32:500:32:51

That'll be nothing, of course.

0:32:530:32:55

And if it is something...

0:32:560:32:58

What is it that American chappie says?

0:33:000:33:02

Which one?

0:33:020:33:03

-IN AMERICAN ACCENT:

-When fate hands you a lemon, make lemonade!

0:33:030:33:07

-Some of Roy's novels.

-Oh?

0:33:100:33:13

-Why he saves them, who would know.

-Ha!

0:33:130:33:17

Oh.

0:33:310:33:32

She could be a model.

0:33:340:33:35

She really could.

0:33:370:33:38

Oh, Mrs Briggs, Mrs Collins.

0:33:380:33:41

And lovely with it.

0:33:410:33:44

If my eyes don't deceive me, she's wearing Dior.

0:33:440:33:47

She is. Dior.

0:33:470:33:49

Hello.

0:33:530:33:55

Haven't I seen you somewhere before?

0:33:560:33:58

The prodigal authoress returns.

0:33:580:34:00

The desk is set up ready to go.

0:34:000:34:02

All made a vow of silence, your wish is our command.

0:34:040:34:06

Ah, not too much pressure, then!

0:34:060:34:08

Henry! Darling!

0:34:080:34:11

Oh, lordy, Miss Bligh.

0:34:110:34:13

-How long are you in town?

-As long as it takes.

0:34:130:34:16

Ah, well, no distractions here, take it from me.

0:34:160:34:19

-The cocktail trolley rolls out at five.

-Lovely.

0:34:190:34:22

Don't worry, I'll keep you sane until James returns.

0:34:220:34:25

Every good boy deserves a beard.

0:34:250:34:27

My question to you is what do you think would be better politically?

0:34:330:34:37

A divorce next year on the grounds of her five years in an institution,

0:34:370:34:40

or accept her offer now?

0:34:400:34:43

How does she seem, Regina?

0:34:440:34:46

I occasionally wonder how she's managing in that place.

0:34:460:34:49

She seemed cogent, appeared to be self-aware,

0:34:490:34:53

without animus, so it seemed.

0:34:530:34:56

The psychiatrists continue her treatment.

0:34:560:34:59

Electro-zapping and all of that.

0:34:590:35:00

Talk therapy, psychoanalysis.

0:35:000:35:03

Are psychiatrists real doctors, though?

0:35:030:35:05

-I reckon the jury's still out on that one.

-I have heard it said.

0:35:050:35:08

My advice is to take her up on it,

0:35:100:35:12

she couldn't have picked a better time.

0:35:120:35:14

A fresh start to your second term and all the groundwork we've done

0:35:140:35:17

starts bearing fruit.

0:35:170:35:19

On the other hand, if I wait until next year, the divorce,

0:35:190:35:23

it'll be on my own terms.

0:35:230:35:25

I find it difficult to believe that there isn't an ulterior motive

0:35:260:35:29

on her part.

0:35:290:35:30

One term in Canberra and you're more cynical than I am.

0:35:300:35:33

She could be making this offer in an attempt to execute revenge.

0:35:330:35:38

-I can hear your mother talking, George.

-The more I weigh it up...

0:35:380:35:42

Do you know what happens if you wait for a divorce

0:35:420:35:44

on the grounds of insanity?

0:35:440:35:46

When she finally comes out,

0:35:460:35:48

she has every reason to tell anyone who'll listen, and they will,

0:35:480:35:51

that you and your new missus drove her mad, sent her insane.

0:35:510:35:54

This offer, her way,

0:35:540:35:57

she admits in court she was mentally cruel to you, full stop.

0:35:570:36:00

She's discredited, it's a gift, she's out of your life.

0:36:000:36:03

I can't see why she'd be so altruistic.

0:36:030:36:06

Obviously the treatment's working.

0:36:060:36:09

You probably have two women in your ear right now -

0:36:120:36:15

mother and mistress.

0:36:150:36:17

But you have to decide what's best for your career.

0:36:170:36:20

Now, I don't want to sound immodest

0:36:200:36:22

but my advice has mostly been spot on, wouldn't you say?

0:36:220:36:26

Yes.

0:36:280:36:30

Yes, it has.

0:36:300:36:31

I'd like to suggest a drink but I've got an editor to sack.

0:36:340:36:37

Hmph.

0:36:370:36:38

You're with Frederick Stern, he's the best on divorce.

0:36:400:36:43

If she tries any argy-bargy, then knock it on the head.

0:36:430:36:46

Stern's still doing the right thing by you with the mortgage rate,

0:36:460:36:49

-I always meant to ask?

-Of course.

0:36:490:36:50

Take Regi up on her offer.

0:36:520:36:53

Nice clear road straight ahead.

0:36:530:36:56

Bye, George.

0:36:590:37:01

How long would it...might it have been there, do you think, the lump?

0:37:080:37:13

The most important thing is that you've found it, Mrs O'Rourke.

0:37:150:37:18

Mr Fox. I'm sorry, Sheila.

0:37:200:37:22

I didn't know you were here.

0:37:220:37:25

Mrs O'Rourke requested that I join her for this appointment.

0:37:250:37:28

So, in cases such as yours, for best chances of recovery,

0:37:320:37:36

I suggest what we call a Halsted radical mastectomy.

0:37:360:37:39

We remove the breast, lymph nodes and a small part of the chest wall.

0:37:390:37:43

Some of my colleagues like to take a piece of the ribcage as well

0:37:430:37:47

but I'd like to think we can remove any stray cells

0:37:470:37:49

without having to do that.

0:37:490:37:51

It's all there along with your admission to hospital.

0:37:540:37:58

Do you have any questions, Sheila?

0:38:010:38:03

Sorry to ask, but...

0:38:050:38:07

..a lady I know, she just had

0:38:080:38:10

not all that done, more of a...

0:38:100:38:13

..simple thing, she said.

0:38:140:38:16

Well, good luck to her, she may need it.

0:38:190:38:21

Will I be all...

0:38:260:38:29

I don't know what to think.

0:38:290:38:31

I'm sorry to waste your time.

0:38:310:38:32

Sheila. Sheila, please, wait.

0:38:340:38:37

Don't go telling my husband, please.

0:38:370:38:39

He wouldn't want this, he wouldn't want me all deformed. I'm sorry.

0:38:390:38:42

You could have called me when she arrived,

0:38:450:38:47

or one of the other nurses from the clinic.

0:38:470:38:49

-She's my patient.

-She was referred by the clinic.

0:38:490:38:52

The whole point of this was to avoid situations like this.

0:38:520:38:54

Now, I know her home life,

0:38:560:38:58

her husband will terrify her into not coming back.

0:38:580:39:01

When I require a medical opinion, I shall seek out a fellow surgeon.

0:39:010:39:04

I never have and, cannot imagine that I ever will,

0:39:040:39:07

feel the need to consult a nurse.

0:39:070:39:09

At least I know who it was,

0:39:240:39:26

ferreting through my stuff.

0:39:260:39:28

I hope you'll accept this as an apology,

0:39:280:39:31

some paints and watercolour papers.

0:39:310:39:33

I picked them up while I was in the city, and a few brushes,

0:39:330:39:36

from Cassells.

0:39:360:39:38

They also do mail orders in case there's anything else you need.

0:39:380:39:41

All right, I'll take them.

0:39:440:39:45

And these were the photographs I took of your work.

0:39:470:39:50

A friend of mine is a very good art dealer.

0:39:530:39:58

I showed her those.

0:39:580:40:00

She, she admires your work as much as I do

0:40:000:40:02

so I hope that inspires you a little to keep painting.

0:40:020:40:05

Well, anyway, I should, I should...

0:40:090:40:11

Missus.

0:40:120:40:14

Thanks for these.

0:40:150:40:16

Carolyn, please, or I get Caro, either one.

0:40:160:40:20

You know they've forecast heavy rain,

0:40:230:40:25

just might be good to check the roof.

0:40:250:40:27

It would be terrible to lose any of your paintings

0:40:270:40:30

but if that is a Namatjira, one of them just sold for 100 Guineas.

0:40:300:40:33

They're only going to increase in value, is what I mean.

0:40:350:40:37

Not that you'd want to sell it.

0:40:370:40:39

I know. Anyway.

0:40:390:40:40

Missus...

0:40:400:40:41

You said "if" it's a Namatjira.

0:40:440:40:47

My friend just said there are some forgeries around.

0:40:480:40:51

-Well, it was painted by Albert.

-Well, that's good, then.

0:40:510:40:53

Why would I say that it was if it wasn't?

0:40:550:40:58

And, with all respect, don't go telling me that I've misunderstood.

0:41:000:41:04

I don't reckon I have.

0:41:050:41:07

Watch out for snakes.

0:41:120:41:14

He didn't seem too worried, I don't think.

0:41:240:41:27

Well, of course not, you come from the big house on the hill.

0:41:270:41:29

I feel bad enough, don't rub it in.

0:41:290:41:32

Let me ask you something.

0:41:330:41:35

If he was a white man, let's say that artist of Olivia's back in...

0:41:350:41:38

-Oh, don't mention him.

-He's the only artist I know.

0:41:380:41:40

My point is, would you have said that to him?

0:41:400:41:43

What are you doing anyway, running around taking photographs?

0:41:450:41:47

-Trying to help.

-Surely you've got better things to do with your time?

0:41:470:41:51

Actually, you know what?

0:41:510:41:53

I don't.

0:41:530:41:54

I have never been bored in my life but I am now.

0:41:550:41:58

I am not idle.

0:41:580:42:00

I do what I can around the property with James gone.

0:42:000:42:03

Or the women's clinic, filing or whatever else Sarah needs.

0:42:030:42:06

I've stuck my nose into the shearing but that's all under control.

0:42:060:42:09

So is it any wonder that when there's a hokey band

0:42:090:42:12

-playing in a hokey hall...

-Calm down!

0:42:120:42:14

..or a scratch film once a week, I can't wait,

0:42:140:42:16

I'm almost sleepless with anticipation!

0:42:160:42:18

-What do you want me to do?

-Nothing! Or something!

0:42:180:42:21

I don't know.

0:42:210:42:22

Welcome back to Ash Park, Anna!

0:42:330:42:35

I'm here to say that I accept.

0:43:050:43:08

I accept and appreciate your offer of divorce.

0:43:080:43:11

It is without malice.

0:43:120:43:14

Thank you.

0:43:140:43:16

I wish you the very best.

0:43:170:43:19

I behaved in a despicable way.

0:43:210:43:23

If only we could claw back time.

0:43:260:43:28

The human curse.

0:43:300:43:31

Along with awareness of our own mortality,

0:43:340:43:37

unique amongst the animals.

0:43:370:43:39

You'll have to instigate the documentation for the courts.

0:43:410:43:45

Mm-hm.

0:43:450:43:46

I do wish you and your family well.

0:43:480:43:50

Goodbye, George.

0:43:560:43:57

KOOKABURRA CALLS

0:44:080:44:11

You're here because Alice says you must. To say goodbye?

0:44:150:44:19

-No.

-She's here because she loves you, Isaac.

0:44:190:44:22

Now, it's time to get your bag into the car.

0:44:230:44:26

I want to stop at the mechanics.

0:44:330:44:35

-Do you think that's wise?

-I hope so.

0:44:350:44:38

Jimmy Dancer.

0:44:510:44:53

Well, if I can get along on one good lung...

0:44:560:44:59

..then I say let's get rid of the crook one.

0:45:010:45:03

Let's make lemonade.

0:45:050:45:07

What you see before you is a silly old Jew.

0:45:150:45:19

I don't know.

0:45:190:45:20

But one who knows how to fight.

0:45:200:45:22

I've thrown more hand grenades than you've had hot breakfasts.

0:45:240:45:26

But when it came to fighting for Leah's aunt Miriam,

0:45:260:45:29

that was a battle to end them all.

0:45:290:45:31

Why do you think that was?

0:45:310:45:32

Her father?

0:45:340:45:35

It took me a long time to prove to him that I deserved his daughter.

0:45:350:45:39

But not once...

0:45:390:45:41

..not once did I ever disrespect her.

0:45:410:45:44

I never have disrespected her.

0:45:440:45:46

Don't be thinking, oh, well, he's gone away now, who cares.

0:45:460:45:50

I won't.

0:45:500:45:52

Because there is another Jew in town to be afraid of.

0:45:520:45:55

Even more than me.

0:45:560:45:58

The things she's done in two wars, most men could never do.

0:45:590:46:02

And she'll be watching you.

0:46:040:46:05

And she has eyes in the back of her head.

0:46:070:46:10

Hm?

0:46:120:46:14

I'm guessing you put the fear of God into him.

0:46:210:46:24

Not so much.

0:46:240:46:25

But you did.

0:46:250:46:27

I can walk to the station from here.

0:46:280:46:31

I could do with the exercise.

0:46:310:46:33

My girl...

0:46:470:46:49

..until we meet in Israel.

0:46:510:46:53

HE PRAYS IN HEBREW

0:47:060:47:10

May the Lord turn his face to you...

0:47:170:47:20

..and grant you peace.

0:47:210:47:23

He is what matters.

0:48:410:48:43

Yes.

0:48:450:48:47

All right.

0:48:480:48:50

He can be raised Jewish.

0:48:520:48:53

Ash Park remains a Christian household,

0:48:530:48:56

and if he turns to Christianity when he is of age,

0:48:560:48:59

then we both allow him that.

0:48:590:49:01

Agreed.

0:49:040:49:06

Thank you.

0:49:080:49:09

But never use our marriage as an ultimatum, ever again.

0:49:100:49:14

That was not my intention, George.

0:49:140:49:16

It sounded so to me.

0:49:160:49:18

Sorry to make it so late.

0:49:330:49:34

Any time for you, Sir Richard.

0:49:340:49:37

You've been a true friend to Mrs Bligh.

0:49:410:49:43

In fact, I'm told the only one throughout her entire incarceration.

0:49:430:49:46

I was never here.

0:49:480:49:49

-No names, no pack-drill, Sir Richard.

-Ah.

0:49:500:49:53

Had a good week by the sound of it?

0:49:560:49:58

Quite spectacular.

0:49:580:50:00

I might book myself in for a bit of a rest sometime.

0:50:030:50:06

We could put you under our psychoanalysis.

0:50:060:50:08

You wouldn't want to get stuck in my dreams, that's for sure.

0:50:080:50:11

Given her recent progress, I will shortly be making a recommendation

0:50:110:50:15

to the parole board for her release.

0:50:150:50:17

How soon might that happen?

0:50:170:50:20

Two to three months, I'd say.

0:50:200:50:22

KEYS RATTLE

0:50:310:50:33
