0:00:02 > 0:00:04I've seen a lot worse than this on exhibition.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06These are the photographs I took of your work.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08What are you doing, running around taking photographs? Surely you've
0:00:08 > 0:00:12- got better things to do with your time.- You know what, I don't.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16- Let's see.- When I've finished the book.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The publisher has a right to chivvy, your lover has a right to a kiss.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23You'll be sleeping up at the big house and you have to pull your weight.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Look after David, respect our rules.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27For the past four years, we've had excellent maids,
0:00:27 > 0:00:30who my son also adores, and now, without any thought of consulting
0:00:30 > 0:00:33me, you've hired a rebellious Jewish girl to replace them.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38If I can get along with one good lung, then I say
0:00:38 > 0:00:40let's get rid of the crook one.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for you.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45We've put you through quite a journey, haven't we, Regina?
0:00:45 > 0:00:47SIZZLING
0:00:47 > 0:00:48She's finally offering a divorce.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52My advice is take her up on it. She couldn't have picked a better time.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55If you agree to this, you will rue the day.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56I'm telling you, we all will.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59I accept and appreciate your offer of a divorce.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Given her recent progress, I will shortly be making a recommendation
0:01:03 > 0:01:05to the parole board for her release.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06How soon might that happen?
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Two to three months, I'd say.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24No, don't shoot. Don't shoot me.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- No.- What are you going to give?
0:01:26 > 0:01:27Anything, anything.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30I want your chocolate.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Not my chocolate.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- Ah, yes!- Your chocolate or your life.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35- HE COUGHS - It's only been eight weeks,
0:01:35 > 0:01:38slow down. Nonsense.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41You are perfectly comfortable there, aren't you, darling?
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Counting backwards from ten...
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- No, I'm running away.- Ten,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47nine... What comes next?
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Eight. - HE LAUGHS
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- So what time will you come? - Soon as I can sneak out.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56I'll bring something to make the place nicer.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- Yeah, me too.- Really? What?
0:01:59 > 0:02:00You'll see.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Cripes, it's Sarah.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12I've got to go, it's Friday.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13You know, Shabbat.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Thought she might've gotten sick of
0:02:15 > 0:02:16making you do all that Jewish stuff by now.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Yes, that's what you'd think. She's getting worse.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22I'll come as soon as I can get away.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Davey, that's enough, darling.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Grandpa is getting tired.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- Bang.- You double-crossed me. You dirty rat...
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Oh, this fresh air is certainly good for Doug, then.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Yes, he appears to have grown his lung back. Quite the miracle.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Mummy, Mummy!
0:02:47 > 0:02:49And this one keeps wanting to take his shoes.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53I know. If you don't mind, I'd rather he didn't play with guns.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Quite right too. You need to get inside.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58All right, Shabbat's at quarter to five.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59We'll see you then. Come on, sweetheart.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- Is Granny coming?- Yes. Isn't it exciting?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Let's see what Leah's up to.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Did you say we would attend?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08David is being raised as a Jew.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Really, Douglas, as if the facts of his birth won't be enough of a
0:03:10 > 0:03:12hindrance in life for him.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Darling, you'll just have to get used to it.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16I don't have to get used to anything.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Which includes you ignoring the doctor's orders over exertion.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21I'll tie you up.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29No running.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- Leah. Bang, bang, bang!- Hello.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- Was it fun with Grandpa? - Yes. Really fun.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Go and put your toy away.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42This is a pleasant change.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44I thought this week I'd do it early.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Nothing to do with talking to Larry?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51You don't have to lie about seeing him.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Why don't you like him?- It's not a matter of me not liking him or not,
0:03:54 > 0:03:55just don't get too serious.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57It's a very big world out there.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58Israel, you mean?
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Not just Israel.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I don't want you to limit your horizons, that's all.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Lovely, just the cup.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09They you are, sir. While I think of it...
0:04:15 > 0:04:16Perfect.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29How beautiful.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Picked a few outfits I thought you might like.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Get you started until you feel like going shopping.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Thank you, Dicky. That's very thoughtful.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44The pied-a-terre I'm organising will be ready in a couple of days.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47You being released early put me on the hop.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Such a strange feeling.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54I have also organised an appointment with the beauty salon downstairs.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Just cos you've been to the funny farm doesn't mean you have to look like it.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01So when am I due at the embalmers?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Ten minutes. I'll go down with you.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07No, you go, Dicky. I'll just catch my breath.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- We're in this together, don't forget.- Of course. I won't.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Thank you.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49My wife, my future wife, is a convert,
0:05:49 > 0:05:51she's raising our son as Jewish.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56I just feel it might be better if we three were of the same faith.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57How does she feel about that?
0:05:57 > 0:06:01She doesn't know yet. I feel I need to understand more before we discuss
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- it.- That's sensible.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08I did raise the conversion with a rabbi in Canberra recently.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12He seemed to put as many hurdles in my way as possible.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15I was surprised, I must say.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19We want to make sure that the only motivation isn't just to please someone else.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23It has to be an internal commitment.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28- Of course.- He was just testing your resolve, as your fellow club members
0:06:28 > 0:06:31here would test you if instead of merely inviting a rabbi in for a
0:06:31 > 0:06:34drink, you yourself became a Jew.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Well, in that case, I hope that they would either make a terrible fuss
0:06:40 > 0:06:44as I departed or history if I stayed.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Think long and hard, Mr Bligh.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51That is a pathway to join the Jewish people.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- However, we...- Excuse me, sir.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Bear with me, Rabbi.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Excuse me.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Is this person still in the club?
0:07:08 > 0:07:09It was a telephone message, sir.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Pardon me, Rabbi.- Not at all.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16I need to get over for Shabbat.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18You'd be most welcome to join us.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- Perhaps another time.- OK.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Mr Bligh.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- Won't you sit down?- No, I won't, thank you.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41I must say that I'm surprised that you're aware of her release, Mr Bligh.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43If a Sydney Morning Herald journalist knows,
0:07:43 > 0:07:46I dare say it wouldn't be long before I did too.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47It didn't come from here, I can assure you.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50It's far too early for her to be out.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52As her husband, I should have been consulted.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55With due respect,
0:07:55 > 0:07:59my only dealings with you have concerned your acceptance of her offering a divorce.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02You really have no right to be consulted at all.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- I beg your pardon?- I'm not according you blame, Mr Bligh.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Just stating the facts.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12Whatever the case, Regina agreeing to and offering you a divorce has been a vital
0:08:12 > 0:08:13and necessary step in her recovery.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18Regina's skill at deception has caused us all great agony.
0:08:18 > 0:08:23It isn't easy to forget someone threatening to bash the brains out of a newborn child.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28I would have thought it sensible to err on the side of caution.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Regina will have to rebuild her life in a world that will seem hostile to
0:08:32 > 0:08:36her. Frankly, she has more to fear from your reaction than you do from
0:08:36 > 0:08:38her release. Put yourself in her position.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41You might like to put yourself in mine.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42It was my son.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48I signed the medical release based on my conviction that she was ready.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50The court concurred.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55The slightest harm to my family from Regina, it will be on your head.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Dinner will be at seven.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Douglas has accepted an invitation to go to Sarah's religious meal.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11The word is Shabbat.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Not saying it won't make it go away.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16"Douglas isn't up to it" worked when I wasn't.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Four invites later seems plain rude.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Sarah would decline any invitation from me to attend our Eucharist.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Which is her right and I respect that.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25She is David's mother, darling.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27She's a Jew, that makes him one so...
0:09:27 > 0:09:30According to their rules, not ours.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Shabbat invitation feels like some sort of indoctrination.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Oh, come on, Mother. Isn't that what happens at church every Sunday?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- That's a bit much.- It's the truth.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43David is a Bligh and this is Ash Park.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46I'm not being anti-Semitic, I'm being pro-Bligh.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47We have our traditions.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50We should raise David in the Church of England. When he is an adult he
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- can choose his religion.- Why can't he do both?- Because...
0:09:53 > 0:09:55PHONE RINGS Saved by the bell.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Because it's incredibly important to his mother that he
0:09:58 > 0:10:00is raised Jewish, and George has agreed.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03Surely not?
0:10:05 > 0:10:06All right, all right.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11"Will there really be a morning, is there such a thing as day?
0:10:11 > 0:10:12"Could they see it from the mountains
0:10:12 > 0:10:16"if I were as tall as they?
0:10:16 > 0:10:18"Has it feet like water lilies?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- KNOCKING - "Has it feathers like a bird...?"
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Elizabeth, you're early. Good, come in, come in.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- Douglas can't make it? - We won't be coming for dinner.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32I think your telephone might be off the hook.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Yes, it is.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- LAUGHTER - Oh.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39I'm afraid I have some bad news. From George.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Regina has been released.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- When?- This morning.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52Where is she?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56George is endeavouring to find out.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59According to the doctor, it was her offer of a divorce that is the key,
0:10:59 > 0:11:02apparently, to her miraculous recovery.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Now, I warned you both, didn't I?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07All you had to do was ignore her, anyone could see it was just a ploy
0:11:07 > 0:11:09to be deemed sane and to procure her release.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- A decision had to be made. - The wrong decision.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16She won't come back here.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18She would be mad to.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Sarah, she IS mad.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25I think we should just carry on as normal.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28As you see fit.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30I think so.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Very well.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Night.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Goodnight.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46The tickle monster is here.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Only me. I hope you are decent.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I would rather you knocked, Dicky.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I'd rather I had all the keys.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Just checking up on my assets.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Drink?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Yes. A pot of tea, please.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Room 16.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Actually, I wasn't too keen on your mood when I left.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- Thought I'd check up on you.- I won't do anything foolish.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Good. This is an improvement, all right.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32I thought you'd go back to the brunette.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34It helps define the new me.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Not too new. The old one and I were a good team.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40You don't need to be all over me, Dicky.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44- I need to manage by myself. - You can't, you won't.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Don't bite the hand that feeds you, Reggie.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49You are a four-year investment.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Will I appear in your report to the shareholders?
0:12:56 > 0:12:57There you go.
0:13:00 > 0:13:05They should be running around like headless chooks by now if my bloke's done his job.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10Old Ma Bligh might save us the effort and die of shock when she finds out
0:13:10 > 0:13:12you're roaming free.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Anyway, just relax.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15You've got plenty of time.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Forget the tea.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Get the cocktails running, things will seem rosier in the morning.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31See you tomorrow. Same time.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36Be here.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47SHE SIGHS Stop sighing.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55You hated it.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01It's inspired.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- What?- You have something to say, my darling.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- And the talent to say it. - Oh, my God!
0:14:08 > 0:14:10You're not just saying that because you're...
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Soft-hearted about you I may be. Soft-headed I am not.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17That is the best thing you could say to me.
0:14:17 > 0:14:22This time, you know, I just felt so completely absorbed in it.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23The next moment I'd written 20 pages.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25I wasn't sure if they were any good.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27There must be something in the waters in Ash Park.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31To which, by the way, these past two months you have not once invited me.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35- Note the pain in my voice. - You'd be bored to tears.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39She hid him in the shadows where all secret love resides.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Now you sound like a character in Peyton Place.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Peyton Place contains nothing as bad as that.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Your sex scenes are far more scandalous.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50Wheel me out of the shadows.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Just for fun.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54The tribal rights of Ash Park,
0:14:54 > 0:14:57I'll be like Margaret Mead among the Samoans.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- They might eat you.- Come on.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Make an honest man of me.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05I have to meet them sooner or later.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Excuse me.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- Can I have a word?- The usual?
0:15:25 > 0:15:28George, did you invite a member of the tribe of Abraham in here?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- What of it?- You ruffled feathers.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33He is a former RAAF fighter ace, for God's sake.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37Richard, I actually need to talk to you about something confidential.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- Regina.- What about her?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45You haven't heard. You must have known.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47A Herald journalist called me here.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- Heard what?- She's been released from the asylum.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54No consultation with me.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56No-one told me. If I'd have known, it would never have happened.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Are you able to suppress the story for us?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01- I'll do my best.- At least stop it from appearing in print.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03That's in all our interests.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05Thank you.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- You off already?- I need to get back to Ash Park, obvious reasons.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15She won't go back there.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- I need to be with Sarah and David. - I understand that.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22They don't deserve an encore of what they went through.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23No-one does.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54LAUGHTER
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Shall we do the prayer together?
0:16:58 > 0:17:00SHE SIGHS
0:17:02 > 0:17:03You listen to me.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Now, I stepped in with Isaac on your behalf, did I not?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10I have been understanding and trusting about Larry.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12I ask you to take part in this one thing
0:17:12 > 0:17:14and you do it with such bad grace.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17This is about the Jewish family.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23It's about us, and I will keep saying this until you understand it,
0:17:23 > 0:17:27as much as you want to forget you're a Jew, our enemies never will.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29This...
0:17:30 > 0:17:32This gives us strength...
0:17:33 > 0:17:34..to know who we are.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46I'm sorry.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Just had some worrying news.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Let's start again.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06KNOCKING
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- Oh, I'm freezing. - What took you so long?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- She's got a bee in her bonnet. - About what?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17She's all jumpy, she wanted me to stay. Making all these excuses.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20She's a lady fighter in two wars, nothing is going to scare her.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- So, what did you bring?- You first.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26No, no, girls go first.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Come on. Show us what you bought and then I'll show what I bought.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31We don't have anything nice on the walls here.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Remember?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Oh, yeah.- So romantic.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42We can put it up just there.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- What did you bring?- Something real special.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Something you can't get but I got one.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50What? Show me.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Right, close your eyes.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Close your eyes.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55Hold out your hand.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Keep your eyes shut.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Guess what it is?
0:19:01 > 0:19:02You'll never guess.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05What is it?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- It's a frenchie.- Eurgh!
0:19:08 > 0:19:09What did you bring that for?
0:19:09 > 0:19:12That's not something to make this place nice.
0:19:12 > 0:19:13- Yes, it is.- We'll get in trouble.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15No, you dill, it's to stop trouble.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- I keep telling you, not till we're married.- I know.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19I mean, we love each other, it's just sort of in case we might want
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- to...- You want to, you mean.- No, I never meant like that.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24You really know how to spoil things.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32- Oh, don't go.- You promised last time that was as far as we'd go, and I
0:19:32 > 0:19:33didn't even want to go that far.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48Sir, Mrs Goddard asked if she might have a word with you
0:19:48 > 0:19:49as soon as you returned.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01You needn't have waited up.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08George, why did you agree to a divorce when you could have waited?
0:20:08 > 0:20:12- Now she's out.- It's done now, Mother.- Yes, it is.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14I did what I thought was best at the time.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20- I still do.- If I were Sarah, I would take David as far away as possible.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- That won't happen.- You don't know mothers.- I know Sarah.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30- She is strong.- George, even strong women have their breaking points. - Leave it, Mother.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35The more you fuss, the harder it is for us to carry on a normal life.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38Now surely...
0:20:40 > 0:20:43..helping Douglas with his recovery is a big enough job for you.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54KNOCKING
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- Who is it?- A tall, dark stranger.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16What about you and David sleeping in the main house?
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- She won't come here, surely. - Peace of mind.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23I shouldn't even be worried about her but...
0:21:24 > 0:21:26..look at me, I'm locking doors and jumping at shadows.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28It's the shock of it all.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30That we weren't consulted, it's intolerable.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34It's David I'm worried about.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37What if I stayed the night?
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Scandal be damned.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44First time for everything.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Scandal be damned.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20I've looked forward to waking up beside you every morning.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Whatever it means, her being out...
0:22:28 > 0:22:31..I'll have my divorce by the end of the year.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33And then...
0:22:34 > 0:22:36..our wedding.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41We should elope.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Whatever you want.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53It's music to my ears.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06George.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Do I detect a hint of disapproval from my bohemian sister?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Not I. I'm all for love.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15But you've always been so careful about not staying the night.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18I didn't want them down there on their own.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Regina will be off to Paris or London or somewhere, I wouldn't worry.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25What are you doing up so early?
0:23:25 > 0:23:30I didn't sleep. Jack and I had an argument about a radio programme, of
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- all things.- I hope you don't do that too often.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34It can become a habit.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Well, fencing to supervise and then the clinic.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40You're making me feel guilty.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Keeps me busy, that's the main thing.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Mrs Duncan, telephone.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47It's Miss Anna, a trunk call, ma'am.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50This is early. It's either good news or bad.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01An early start to the day, madam.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- It's the best part of the day, really.- It is, isn't it?
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- Anything else?- No, thank you.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27WHIRRING AND SIZZLING
0:24:30 > 0:24:33SHE CRIES
0:24:36 > 0:24:41Her timing's lousy. Regina free and Douglas recovering.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Anna doesn't know about Regina. You can't blame her for that.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48She said just a few friends and she was so excited, I couldn't say no.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51You reckon it's the book? Can't think what else it would be.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55We know what it is, this Ed bloke has popped the question.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58She would have told me. He's her publisher.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01More to the point, he's almost my age.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I hope she knows what she's doing.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Hope who knows what she's doing?
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Anna's having a bit of a shindig here tonight.
0:25:07 > 0:25:08A party?
0:25:08 > 0:25:11She has some special news she wants to tell us.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12What special news?
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Calm down, Mother.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17It just goes to show how cavalier the girl's becoming.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21To suddenly take it upon herself to announce a party tonight.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Don't worry about it on my account, darling.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24I'm in for a bit of a knees-up.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27You did tell her it was out of the question, didn't you?
0:25:27 > 0:25:28I consulted George,
0:25:28 > 0:25:31neither of us could think of a single reason why not.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33We carry on as normal.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36It's just what we need to liven us up.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40- Just what we need?- Excuse us. Come on, grumpy.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45- Time to work your magic on your patients. Ta-ta.- Bye-bye.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52You probably don't approve, Mr Fox,
0:25:52 > 0:25:56but many in our community rely on Doris Collins' restorative remedy.
0:25:56 > 0:26:01Mr Goddard says without it he'd still be lying in that City Hospital.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04I think you're being a bit hard on me.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06I mean, it could be 99% moonshine.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Oh, Mr Fox.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Dr Duncan will vouch...
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- Do you have a moment, Mr Fox? - Of course.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Well.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30I thought that you most of all outside the family ought to know.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Regina's been released.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Free as a bird and no-one knows where she is.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Just for your info only, if you don't mind.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42We're trying to carry on regardless.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46She murdered that young woman.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Attacked Sarah and David, blackmailed me almost into complete ruin and...
0:26:50 > 0:26:52..she's out in under, what, four years?
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Court released her in line with her sentence.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Her psychiatrist declared her sane.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58The man's a fool.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- PHONE RINGS - I thought you approved of shrinks.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03Hello.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07I'll be right there.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10I appreciate you letting me know.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12The least I could do.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Can you move your neck?
0:27:21 > 0:27:25It's nothing, really. Just need some Bates' Salve or something like that.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30I'll leave you in the capable hands of Sister Nordmann.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31Thank you, Doctor.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- I wasn't sure you'd be in today. - Of course.
0:27:42 > 0:27:43Who did this to you, Sheila?
0:27:44 > 0:27:45No-one, Sister.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48I fell.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49It's stupid, really.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Since the operation, I'm a bit lopsided.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06So I'll make a follow-up appointment for you.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07Monday, ten o'clock.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Carolyn, I was wondering if you might be able to drop Sheila home.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14Oh, no, I can walk.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18- It's miles.- It's no problem, I'll just get my things.- Thank you.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32It's a bit of a blacks camp out here now.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36He lives there, that abo chap.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40He's a good worker, I'll give him that.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42And I saw him one day doing painting.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Art, not houses.
0:28:45 > 0:28:46Really?
0:28:49 > 0:28:52- Just here is fine. - I can take you up.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55No, here is just fine, Mrs Duncan.
0:28:55 > 0:28:56I can manage.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02Sheila, please stay in touch with the clinic.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05If you need any help or have any questions...
0:29:07 > 0:29:09I'll be all right. Thanks for the lift.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Mr Gibbs?
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Frank?
0:29:47 > 0:29:48It's Carolyn Duncan.
0:29:57 > 0:29:58Frank?
0:32:00 > 0:32:04I wish I knew the titles. I'd put up little cards.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08You know, Carolyn, taking those photographs was bad enough.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11Now you've taken the paintings without his permission and propose
0:32:11 > 0:32:13to exhibit them ALSO without his permission.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15He's away working somewhere and I left him a note.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17The photographs were months ago.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19He's settled in here now.
0:32:19 > 0:32:20Every artist wants to be shown.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23You have someone's property without permission.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25I haven't stolen them.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31- Do you think I don't notice what's going on?- Nothing's going on.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33You help run the property, you're in at that clinic,
0:32:33 > 0:32:36you do Jack's books and now, unasked, mind,
0:32:36 > 0:32:38you're establishing yourself as Mr Gibbs' agent.
0:32:40 > 0:32:45Looks to me as though you're trying to manufacture more excitement for yourself.
0:32:45 > 0:32:46Perhaps I am.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56I love Jack just as much.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59I just...
0:32:59 > 0:33:02..feel like my horizons are shrinking while he's getting more
0:33:02 > 0:33:06and more set in his ways. Take Anna's party tonight.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10He would rather have dinner in our bedroom than meet people who might
0:33:10 > 0:33:13open his eyes to new ideas.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Carolyn, how can you be so obtuse?
0:33:16 > 0:33:19You know why big parties and new people are hard for him.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22That's an excuse, his drinking is well and truly under control.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25Under control, yes, but it's never easy.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33You would do better to nudge Jack rather than shake him.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Ooh-hoo! Mr Goddard.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46Lovely day it's turned out to be in spite of that chilly start.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Mrs Collins.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Very good day to you too.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52I brewed up a fresh batch of my restorative.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54I know how much you like it.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56I do indeed.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Your tonic has put me back on my feet again, quick smart.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01I told that to Dr Duncan, and do you know,
0:34:01 > 0:34:04he took a bottle from me just now.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07Just as I expected, a flurry of activity.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Not initiated by me.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11I'm as lazy as a cat.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15Miss Anna, hardly flown the coop and now she's back again.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Yes, Dame Rumour's pretty spot-on there.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22And hosting a party for her literary friends from Sydney, I understand.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Well, as a writer myself, I find this very exciting.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Are you, Mrs Collins? I had no idea.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29Yes, for the CWA Newsletter.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Just the odd reflection on modern life from a countrywoman's point of
0:34:32 > 0:34:36view. To think that were one to be invited,
0:34:36 > 0:34:40one might find oneself sitting next to the likes of Patrick White.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42It's all very last-minute, I understand.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Yes.
0:34:46 > 0:34:51One can but hope that an invitation may be flying on the wind
0:34:51 > 0:34:53to my humble abode, as I speak.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56You wouldn't like a second bottle, would you?
0:34:58 > 0:34:59- Oh... Muah!- No!
0:34:59 > 0:35:02There, see what a bit of sun can do.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05Doris is angling for an invitation to Anna's party.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Oh, dear. Should I?
0:35:07 > 0:35:09And have her laughed at by lots of clever city folk?
0:35:09 > 0:35:11No, she's too dear a soul.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Oh, Mother, we're not that bad.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16We, Carolyn. Who's we? I hope you're not referring to us.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18No, Mother, I wouldn't dream of it.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Yes, we're not exactly country hicks either.
0:35:21 > 0:35:22Perhaps we're city hicks.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24We live in the suburb.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26- Suburban hicks.- Oh, stop it, Douglas.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28We're not any kind of hick.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31KNOCKING
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Ma'am, there's someone at the front door.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35A black fellow.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Oh, wonderful, Lynette. Would you ask him to come in?
0:35:38 > 0:35:40He won't budge, ma'am.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Frank.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50How lovely to see you. You saw my note.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Ah, yes, missus. I just came to get my paintings back.
0:35:53 > 0:35:54But the party's on tonight.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Yeah, I know, I got that but I just came to get them back.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01The people who are coming, they will not only love your work but they
0:36:01 > 0:36:03will want to buy it. And then other people will see it.
0:36:03 > 0:36:04It is how patronage works.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07Yes, I know how it works, Michelangelo and the Pope of Rome.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09I just want them back.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13Frank, you're a very talented artist.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15People need to see your work.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18It's nice of you to say so, but I came here so I could just keep to
0:36:18 > 0:36:21myself and do my paintings without any of that.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Yes, of course. I apologise.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28- Please, come inside.- I'll just wait out here if that's OK.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30It's chilly outside.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32I'll be all right here, thanks.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35All right.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54- All ready?- Yes.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57My wonderful mother's taken over organising everything.
0:36:57 > 0:36:58Well, let's go, then.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03Gossip has it your mad aunt has been let out on parole.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06Where did you hear that?
0:37:06 > 0:37:09A journalist mate. She was released today.
0:37:09 > 0:37:10Wait, we have to cancel the party.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14Has anyone told you you're a very hard girl to keep up with?
0:37:14 > 0:37:17The last thing my family needs is our crowd invading them like ghouls
0:37:17 > 0:37:19or truffle pigs sniffing for scandal.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22Even if they promise not to, they will.
0:37:23 > 0:37:24I need to use your phone.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30We could still go up there, just you and me, dinner with the family.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34That's what you've been angling for, isn't it?
0:37:42 > 0:37:43All safe and sound.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46I mounted some on board, I hope you don't mind.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57- Missus.- Frank, I'm so sorry.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59About taking them.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Everything.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Sometimes I don't think.
0:38:03 > 0:38:04It's all done, no worries.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06I've got a favour to ask.
0:38:06 > 0:38:07Yes.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11I was thinking about what you said about what I was painting.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15The roof is pretty crook, so you've probably got a safe spot in there for it somewhere.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17My name's on it and everything.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Of course. We'll keep it in the storage room.
0:38:20 > 0:38:21I'll put something in writing between us.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23No, I'll take you at your word.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26Thanks, missus.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49HONKING
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Oh!
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Darling, what do you think?
0:39:00 > 0:39:02It's gorgeous.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Finally, I got my driver's licence.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09- I just saw an abo chap driving out of here.- Aboriginal, Prudence.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Marvellous, isn't it? He's even got his own car.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14A bit of a jalopy, though, he's not a very good driver.
0:39:16 > 0:39:17Hello!
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Andrew bought it for me. And I'm a brilliant driver.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23You drove yourself up here.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Is that wise?
0:39:25 > 0:39:27- What a beauty.- You see, Elizabeth, Douglas approves.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Don't be such a stick-in-the-mud.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31It comes quite naturally.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35Now, I'm sorry to tell you but Anna's just telephoned and the party is off.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37- Thank goodness.- What a shame.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40I was expecting to sit next to someone handsome and artistic.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43- Mais c'est moi! - And a tiny tad younger.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Nothing is happening in Sydney, I tell you, dull as dishwater.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54We shall have a lovely, quiet family dinner instead.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Anna's bringing her publisher.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Oh, might his name be Edward Jarvis?
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Yes, it is.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04He's rather smitten with her, don't you know?
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Oh, yes. Very much so.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22It's me.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35HE KNOCKS You in there?
0:40:46 > 0:40:48- REGINA:- "The first steps must be taken alone.
0:40:48 > 0:40:53"I will contact you when I'm settled to let you know where I am. Regina."
0:41:16 > 0:41:19QUIET CHATTER
0:41:26 > 0:41:29CLINKING
0:41:29 > 0:41:34First, thank you for a wonderful dinner, Mama, Grandmother.
0:41:34 > 0:41:35Ed?
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Anna and I have an announcement.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46If you ever doubted what I've been doing with myself up here over the
0:41:46 > 0:41:49past few months, writing the world's longest laundry list,
0:41:49 > 0:41:51or just wasting my time,
0:41:51 > 0:41:55well, I can now announce that my writer's block is officially over
0:41:55 > 0:41:57and am thrilled to tell you that
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Ed is going to publish my new novel before Christmas.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03That's wonderful.
0:42:04 > 0:42:09I ask you all to raise a glass to Anna and All That Glitters.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- ALL:- Anna and All That Glitters.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17- Congratulations.- Thank you.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Your title's intriguing.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21What isn't gold?
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Oh, modern marriage and romance.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27It's all glitter on the surface but underneath, cynicism and emptiness.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29At least for women.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31- Yes.- You and Father.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33You've got it all worked out.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35- We do?- Yes.
0:42:35 > 0:42:36I so admire you both.
0:42:38 > 0:42:39Are we in this novel?
0:42:39 > 0:42:43No. Don't worry, not exactly.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45- Not directly.- Is anyone?
0:42:45 > 0:42:48No. Of course not.
0:42:48 > 0:42:49George.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52I fibbed to Elizabeth about Regina.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Oh, she's got enough on her plate.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56It's out and spreading like wildfire,
0:42:56 > 0:42:58but it's good news, so don't worry.
0:42:58 > 0:43:02The consensus is that she'll turn up in Honkers or Kenya.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05Or some place where scurrilous behaviour is a badge of honour.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07I don't mind where she goes.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09As long as she plays her part in the divorce.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12- Of course she will.- And stays well away from here.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14She wouldn't come here in a month of Sundays.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16Never even entered my mind.
0:43:24 > 0:43:25Um, Sarah.
0:43:26 > 0:43:28I, um...
0:43:29 > 0:43:33..I behaved churlishly last night when you invited us to your ceremony.
0:43:33 > 0:43:35And I wanted to apologise.
0:43:35 > 0:43:36We need to be strong as a family.
0:43:37 > 0:43:42So if you don't mind, Douglas and I would welcome an invitation to the next time you do Shabbat.
0:43:42 > 0:43:47Wonderful. Next Friday evening, then. Goodnight.
0:43:49 > 0:43:53- Pretty damn proud of you.- Oh! Thank you.
0:43:53 > 0:43:55You did the right thing, cancelling the party.
0:43:55 > 0:44:00- Oh, of course.- What's it all about, this, this new book?
0:44:00 > 0:44:03Love and romance in the modern world.
0:44:03 > 0:44:05Crikey, you expect me to read that?
0:44:05 > 0:44:08- I'm sure she doesn't, darling. - I was only joking.
0:44:09 > 0:44:12Good, because I think there's lots in it to interest you.
0:44:17 > 0:44:19FOOTSTEPS
0:44:19 > 0:44:22- Hello.- Thanks, Leah.
0:44:22 > 0:44:24- You can go to bed now.- Night-night.
0:44:24 > 0:44:27- Night.- Oh, don't forget your book.
0:44:27 > 0:44:28Thanks again.
0:44:55 > 0:44:56Psst.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00I thought you'd want to stay up, I...
0:45:00 > 0:45:03Oh, yes, to discuss modern marriage and romance.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07It's been a long day.
0:45:10 > 0:45:11What?
0:45:11 > 0:45:15- Old man Jack, off to sleep now?- I'm not. I...
0:45:23 > 0:45:25Good.
0:45:27 > 0:45:29We need to sort this out, you and I.
0:45:31 > 0:45:33I don't want anything to change.
0:45:36 > 0:45:38Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.
0:45:40 > 0:45:41Whatever that means, I'm sure you're right.
0:45:43 > 0:45:44I don't want to be right.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51- I want us to be happy with each other again.- I know.
0:45:52 > 0:45:53Me too.
0:45:57 > 0:45:58I'll try.
0:46:01 > 0:46:02I need help.
0:46:08 > 0:46:10Oh, Elizabeth, thank for a marvellous evening.
0:46:10 > 0:46:14It's been beautiful. Oh, simply perfect.
0:46:14 > 0:46:17What?
0:46:17 > 0:46:19I want to get you alone for a moment.
0:46:19 > 0:46:20Well, you'll have me alone all night.
0:46:20 > 0:46:22I need to rescue Father from Prudence.
0:46:22 > 0:46:27I'm glad the party became a dinner. This has been more enjoyable.
0:46:27 > 0:46:29They're lovely people, your family.
0:46:29 > 0:46:33I wonder where your cynicism about love and marriage comes from.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36We're very good at keeping up appearances.
0:46:36 > 0:46:39There are undercurrents here we'd never let you see.
0:46:39 > 0:46:41Ones that drowned my marriage, for example.
0:46:42 > 0:46:44Don't look like that. It's ancient history.
0:46:47 > 0:46:51- Oh, come and join us.- Thank you. - Everyone's gone to bed.- I know.
0:46:51 > 0:46:54So weak. Very weak.
0:46:54 > 0:46:57The moment I turn my back, Larry's here.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59So David wasn't actually alone tonight.
0:46:59 > 0:47:01That's not the point.
0:47:02 > 0:47:05- I can't trust her.- What's upsetting you?
0:47:05 > 0:47:07That she has a boyfriend we both don't like?
0:47:09 > 0:47:10Or Regina?
0:47:10 > 0:47:13I just want that woman out of our lives forever.
0:47:19 > 0:47:20And she will be.
0:47:21 > 0:47:22After the divorce.
0:47:26 > 0:47:30You know, Anna thinks we've got it all sorted out.
0:47:30 > 0:47:32Oh, what a perceptive girl she is.
0:47:42 > 0:47:44You don't mind?
0:47:44 > 0:47:48You know, just lying like this?
0:47:48 > 0:47:49It's nice.
0:47:51 > 0:47:53You're not mad at me, are you?
0:47:54 > 0:47:56No.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59I won't try anything like that again.
0:47:59 > 0:48:02I won't do anything you don't want me to.
0:48:03 > 0:48:04True.
0:48:05 > 0:48:07The thing is...
0:48:07 > 0:48:09..part of me does want to.
0:48:09 > 0:48:13Which is why I get scared when you try things.
0:48:17 > 0:48:19So I won't.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22- LOUD THUD What's that?- I don't know.
0:48:26 > 0:48:29- Who are you? What are you doing here?- Quick.
