0:00:02 > 0:00:04I'm afraid I have some bad news. Regina has been released.

0:00:04 > 0:00:06If I was Sarah, I would be taking David as far away as possible.

0:00:06 > 0:00:09- Leave it, Mother.- Regina will have to rebuild her life in a world that

0:00:09 > 0:00:11will seem hostile to her.

0:00:11 > 0:00:14The slightest harm to my family, it'll be on your head.

0:00:14 > 0:00:16Such a strange feeling.

0:00:16 > 0:00:20- We're in this together, don't forget.- Of course I won't.

0:00:20 > 0:00:21Training was a holiday camp.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23That's what we reckon, anyway.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25Well, where were you, then?

0:00:25 > 0:00:27SHOUTING

0:00:30 > 0:00:33It's inspired. You have something to say, my darling,

0:00:33 > 0:00:35and the talent to say it.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37You're not just saying that because you're...

0:00:37 > 0:00:40Soft-hearted about you I may be, soft-headed I am not.

0:00:40 > 0:00:42Anna and I have an announcement.

0:00:42 > 0:00:47Ed is going to publish my new novel before Christmas.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Jimmy Dancer.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51If I can get along on one good lung.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53The first steps must be taken alone.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56I will contact you when I'm settled to let you know where I am.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59HE GRUNTS

0:00:59 > 0:01:00She won't come back.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03She'd be mad to.

0:01:03 > 0:01:04Sarah, she IS mad.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06Who are you? What are you doing here?

0:01:06 > 0:01:08Quick!

0:01:08 > 0:01:10I just want that woman out of our lives for ever.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32Hey!

0:01:32 > 0:01:35- Look.- Ah, that's good. Give that to Leah.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39There we are. Let's see if we can find one more.

0:01:46 > 0:01:47You're sulking because I grounded you.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50- I'm not sulking. - I know how you feel about Larry.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54But I need you to take more care when you're supervising David,

0:01:54 > 0:01:56- especially now.- It's not that.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00Will we get into trouble?

0:02:00 > 0:02:03If they call the police, they won't lock us up, will they?

0:02:03 > 0:02:04What are you talking about?

0:02:04 > 0:02:05There was a lady...

0:02:06 > 0:02:10..I don't know who, at crazy Regina's farm.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13We were there and...well, something happened.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17ENGINE WHIRS

0:03:06 > 0:03:08So it's true.

0:03:10 > 0:03:11I'm glad you've come.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13I just didn't expect to see you so soon.

0:03:13 > 0:03:14You can't stay here.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18You have to pack your things and leave or you'll be forced to,

0:03:18 > 0:03:19do you understand?

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Sarah, I'm a different person.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25No, you may think you are.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Your doctors may think you are, but you'll never convince me or

0:03:27 > 0:03:30anyone else. Now, go away and start a new life.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32You'll be happier. I can assure you.

0:03:32 > 0:03:33This is my home.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36- Find another one. - You don't understand...

0:03:36 > 0:03:38- I don't need to understand anything. - Let me explain...

0:03:38 > 0:03:41You need to understand that it's not in your best interests

0:03:41 > 0:03:42to stay here.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46And before you leave, you don't go anywhere near Ash Park.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49Anywhere near my family.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51I'm not a threat.

0:03:51 > 0:03:52Not any more.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59I saw into your soul a long time ago.

0:04:02 > 0:04:03I know you.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09You experienced crippling darkness, YOU lost your mind.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Don't you ever equate what I went through

0:04:11 > 0:04:13with your lunatic obsessions.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Never really been one for weekends in the country.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44Yes, all that lovely fresh air, it's completely insufferable.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48You know, I might be coming around.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51The scenery, the...invigorating activities.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Oh, are they the only attractions?

0:04:53 > 0:04:55Well, there is a certain author.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58Desperately glamorous.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Wildly successful second book.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Do you really think it'll be a bestseller?

0:05:04 > 0:05:08Prepare to be a bona fide sensation, little one.

0:05:08 > 0:05:09Oh.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12Mm. From your lips!

0:05:12 > 0:05:13Oh, I have other plans for those.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Come on, sleepyhead. Oh!

0:05:20 > 0:05:21You really should knock.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23I didn't think I would have to.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25Mr Jarvis, my apologies.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27- Do excuse me.- No, no, no.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30Excuse me, I might just see if the bathroom is free.

0:05:36 > 0:05:37Mrs Duncan.

0:05:40 > 0:05:41It isn't funny.

0:05:41 > 0:05:42Not at all.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47Things are moving faster than I thought.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50Really? You make us sound like teenagers.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52Well, if you're going to behave that way...

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Your grandmother doesn't need any further burden.

0:05:55 > 0:05:56Ah, like a wayward granddaughter?

0:05:58 > 0:05:59Darling, do as you will in the city,

0:05:59 > 0:06:01I'm not one to judge.

0:06:01 > 0:06:02Well, it's starting to feel a bit that way.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05But here, concessions are required,

0:06:05 > 0:06:08as you know. It's not really too much to ask.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11No, of course not.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14I mean, Lord forbid that my having fun offends anyone.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17A divorcee taking a man to her bed, it's simply outrageous.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20Compared to installing a gay lover at the hospital...

0:06:22 > 0:06:24- Finished?- You know what I mean.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26That was nasty and unnecessary.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28I'm a woman trying to make her mark on the world.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30So were you, once.

0:06:59 > 0:07:00Why are we going away?

0:07:01 > 0:07:03We're going on a holiday.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06- Hello.- Daddy, look!

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Ah, your wheel's fixed.

0:07:09 > 0:07:10That's better, isn't it?

0:07:10 > 0:07:11It's really good.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17- What are you doing? - I'm taking David to Aunt Peg's.

0:07:17 > 0:07:18I'm not sure how long for.

0:07:18 > 0:07:19I'm lost.

0:07:19 > 0:07:20Regina's here.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24I saw her.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26- In Inverness?- At her property.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29You have to be back in Canberra, nothing is keeping us here.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32He'll be her target, I know it.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34- Did she threaten him? - Her presence is threat enough,

0:07:34 > 0:07:36I'm not waiting around to give her the chance.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40I understand seeing her must have upset you...

0:07:40 > 0:07:42We should never have agreed to the divorce.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45It's why we're in this mess.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Before you upend everything,

0:07:47 > 0:07:48I'll speak to her.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52Just a few hours.

0:07:52 > 0:07:53Yes?

0:07:55 > 0:07:57All right.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00But no longer. Just see her gone.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02We'll keep this to ourselves until I've taken her measure.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05General panic won't help.

0:08:12 > 0:08:13See you later, alligator.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15In a while, crocodile.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23If you think Frank would be amenable,

0:08:23 > 0:08:24I'd really like to meet him.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26Amenable may not be his forte.

0:08:26 > 0:08:27He's a very private man.

0:08:27 > 0:08:28Why the sudden interest?

0:08:30 > 0:08:33Well, the refuge hasn't done much for aboriginal diggers.

0:08:33 > 0:08:34If I'm honest, we've done diddly-squat.

0:08:36 > 0:08:37I'll be back down to the city soon,

0:08:37 > 0:08:39perhaps I could stir the political pot.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Douglas, I appreciate your passion on the subject, but perhaps leave it

0:08:42 > 0:08:44for a warmer day.

0:08:44 > 0:08:45I still have one perfectly good lung.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49If I promise to be a good boy.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51You are incorrigible.

0:08:51 > 0:08:52Jolly good, that's settled then.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54Well, from our end,

0:08:54 > 0:08:56no guarantees with the man of the hour, I'm afraid.

0:08:56 > 0:08:57Morning, all.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01- Sleep well?- Mr Jarvis.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Morning.- How did you sleep?

0:09:03 > 0:09:04I hope your bed was comfortable.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06SHE COUGHS

0:09:06 > 0:09:08Coffee, I think. Hot starter for you, too?

0:09:08 > 0:09:12Please. My bed was fit for a king, thank you, Mrs Goddard.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Although you barely have seemed to be in it.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20All that dashing through the halls.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23- I'm not sure... - Mama, what did you say?

0:09:23 > 0:09:25Your mother didn't say anything.

0:09:25 > 0:09:26Well, not to me, anyway.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28She didn't have to.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Prudence told me before she sped off this morning.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33She was electrified by the nocturnal goings-on.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39I apologise, Mrs Goddard, if my behaviour was...unsuitable.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43Well, Ash Park's guests, Mr Jarvis, are allowed one indiscretion.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45I trust you'll bear that in mind for your visit.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49Yes, of course. Noted.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Thank you, Grandmother.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54How very broad-minded.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57But perhaps you could reserve the cavorting for your fictions

0:09:57 > 0:09:58in future.

0:10:02 > 0:10:07Now, Dawn, yours at the lectern and Mr Briggs at the pulpit.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09Best flowers yet, Mrs Collins.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12I'm merely doing my duty to the Lord, it's not about praise.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14Doesn't hurt to hedge your bets with his good opinion but, eh?

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Oh, very droll, Mr Briggs.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Oh. I do beg your pardon.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Excuse me.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24You.

0:10:24 > 0:10:25Can't be.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27It is.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30You're supposed to be locked up.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32Please, I'm not here for harm.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35Taking an innocent girl's life.

0:10:35 > 0:10:36You've no business here at all!

0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Doris...- Get out!

0:10:38 > 0:10:39- Doris!- Get out!

0:10:39 > 0:10:40Wicked.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Monster!

0:10:42 > 0:10:44That's it, keep walking.

0:10:44 > 0:10:45One foot after another.

0:10:48 > 0:10:53Thank you for your discretion about Frank Gibbs' visit yesterday.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Ah.- Jack wouldn't approve of my impromptu gesture.

0:10:56 > 0:10:57No matter how well-meant.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00Our secret. Everyone needs an ally now and then.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02Well, any time I can repay the favour.

0:11:02 > 0:11:03What a timely offer.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06Douglas, I trust you'll be back in time for church.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Erm, we'll do our level best.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Or you could make it for evensong.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Splendid idea. Eh, missy?

0:11:12 > 0:11:14I know when I'm outnumbered.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16May well be back before you know it.

0:11:16 > 0:11:17I'm sure you'll charm him.

0:11:20 > 0:11:25- He won't be told.- You're as delightfully stubborn as each other.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27ELIZABETH CHUCKLES And you were such a good sport about

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Anna's gentleman friend this morning.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32He's fortunate he met Elizabeth Goddard and not Elizabeth Bligh.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34I'm starting to get a sense of what I put you through at her age.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36Oh, Carolyn.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38Oh, how I've longed for this day.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40- The Schadenfreude.- Really, mother?

0:11:40 > 0:11:42ELIZABETH LAUGHS How unbecoming.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47Just say a quick g'day.

0:11:47 > 0:11:48He's a good bloke.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50I don't know.

0:11:50 > 0:11:51Then we'll go, if you want us to.

0:11:53 > 0:11:54Yeah?

0:12:01 > 0:12:03Doc says you run some kind of charity.

0:12:04 > 0:12:08It's a refuge where vets can meet, get a feed, share stories, you know,

0:12:08 > 0:12:09the ones that couldn't fit back in.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12Ah. Oh, you're some kind of do-gooder?

0:12:12 > 0:12:13Yeah, I suppose I am.

0:12:14 > 0:12:15May I?

0:12:15 > 0:12:16Oh, it's nothing.

0:12:20 > 0:12:21Oh, that's impressive.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23I can't even draw a circle.

0:12:24 > 0:12:25Was that it, then?

0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Up in the High Country, were you? - I worked there for a bit.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34Would've been hard going with all that snow.

0:12:34 > 0:12:35I got used to it during the war.

0:12:36 > 0:12:38Eighth division, were you?

0:12:39 > 0:12:40Why do you say that?

0:12:40 > 0:12:42A lot of the boys captured from the eighth ended up in

0:12:42 > 0:12:44camps inside Japan.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47Winters there would've been challenging.

0:12:48 > 0:12:49Brass monkeys.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59This is a surprise.

0:12:59 > 0:13:00Not a good one.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Sister, we came straight over.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04- What's happened?- It's her.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06That despicable woman.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09The gall to show her face in Inverness.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11- Regina.- So you've heard?

0:13:11 > 0:13:13Have you seen her? She don't look the same.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15The devil, lurking in our church.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17I'm ashamed to admit that I did lash out.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22To think what one's capable of in anger.

0:13:22 > 0:13:23- Yes.- Indeed.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26Let's get you inside. A cup of tea, I think.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29Oh, that would be most welcome.

0:13:29 > 0:13:30I'll pop the kettle on.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36- You all right?- I need your rifle.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39- Hey...- It's just a precaution, that's all.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41If that's what you're after, I'll stop here with you

0:13:41 > 0:13:43once George heads off. Day and night, if needs be.

0:13:43 > 0:13:44That's not what I asked for.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47What you're asking for is trouble.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49Last time you held a gun on her, you nearly fired.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53Next time there mightn't be someone round to talk you down.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10VEHICLE APPROACHES

0:14:39 > 0:14:41- Hello, George.- Regina.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45You've spoken to Sarah.

0:14:45 > 0:14:46I have.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49I'm sorry my returning upset her.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51It wasn't my intention.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53What other reaction could you have possibly anticipated?

0:14:53 > 0:14:55I'd hoped for a chance to explain.

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

0:14:59 > 0:15:01There's so much I must make up for.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04I'm...I'm here for expiation, George.

0:15:04 > 0:15:05And you think that's possible?

0:15:05 > 0:15:09- After all you've done. - I need to try.

0:15:09 > 0:15:12That's why I wanted to be out of that place.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15There are things you don't know. That's why I went to the house

0:15:15 > 0:15:20- just now.- You went to the house. - To deliver these, er I...

0:15:20 > 0:15:22I lost my nerve.

0:15:22 > 0:15:23It's all in here.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25How I can help.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28And one for Sarah, offering reassurances about my intentions.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31We do not need your reassurances or your help.

0:15:31 > 0:15:32We are well, we are safe.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35We have been ever since you left.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37You're living in a fool's paradise.

0:15:37 > 0:15:38You and your family are at risk.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40More plots and schemes.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42It never ends, does it?

0:15:42 > 0:15:45From our safe, your jewellery.

0:15:45 > 0:15:46Take it.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49Now there's nothing to keep you here.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52Now, I have no right to dictate where you live, Regina,

0:15:52 > 0:15:54but it would be better for you, for all of us,

0:15:54 > 0:15:56if you were to start over again somewhere new

0:15:56 > 0:15:57where no-one knows you,

0:15:57 > 0:15:59as soon as possible. You're not welcome.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01Pack your bags, I'll take you to the station.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03Sir Richard is not your friend.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07I don't know yet what he's planning

0:16:07 > 0:16:09but his menace is real

0:16:09 > 0:16:12and he won't stop until he has the revenge he craves.

0:16:12 > 0:16:13I will not buy into your madness.

0:16:13 > 0:16:16Who do you think organised such a forward-thinking doctor

0:16:16 > 0:16:17in the asylum?

0:16:17 > 0:16:21Who do you think helped orchestrate my deposition to the parole board?

0:16:21 > 0:16:22Richard is not who you think he is.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24He hasn't seen you since your arrest.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26He visited me each week.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28And why would he do that?

0:16:28 > 0:16:32He sees me as playing a hand in your destruction.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34He's always considered me his foot soldier.

0:16:34 > 0:16:39The more I recovered my sanity, the more the truth of him appalled me.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41He's hinted at something powerful in train against you.

0:16:41 > 0:16:42I don't know what.

0:16:45 > 0:16:46It doesn't make sense.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50Read it. Check the facts, and then it might.

0:16:51 > 0:16:52Every word is true.

0:16:54 > 0:16:55Others will corroborate.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05Weren't you asked to give an affidavit for the Tokyo Trials

0:17:05 > 0:17:06after you came back?

0:17:07 > 0:17:08Wrote something down.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12A few of your guards were hanged, from memory?

0:17:14 > 0:17:18Yeah. I wouldn't have minded standing up in court against them.

0:17:18 > 0:17:19You weren't asked?

0:17:21 > 0:17:22No.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25I was.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27Testified in Singapore.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30A guy we called Doctor Death

0:17:30 > 0:17:31was put away for a long time.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34And a lot more.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36You would've been a captain.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39For the rest of us, we could...

0:17:41 > 0:17:42Oh, doesn't matter now.

0:17:44 > 0:17:47No-one talks about the role of class in how soldiers were treated

0:17:47 > 0:17:48after the war.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50It was a bit more than class.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53The white fighters were asked.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55But us black fighters,

0:17:55 > 0:17:58our stories didn't matter here, so why should they matter over there?

0:17:59 > 0:18:01- Right.- And it wasn't just the black

0:18:01 > 0:18:03fellas that they didn't want telling what happened.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Some of us risked everything,

0:18:05 > 0:18:07getting down in what we saw.

0:18:08 > 0:18:12Writing, drawing. On stolen scraps of newspaper, cigarette papers.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16As long as the Japs didn't find out.

0:18:16 > 0:18:17Beat the daylights out of you.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20Well, you know what I'm talking about, then.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23It was those bloody officers that made us chuck it all overboard

0:18:23 > 0:18:26- on the way home.- Can't have the people at home getting upset.

0:18:27 > 0:18:28Politics before people.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30It's always the way.

0:18:30 > 0:18:31Especially for my mob.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36We went to war and they said we'd come back equal.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41Didn't that break a lot of men's hearts?

0:18:46 > 0:18:48I can see why you work well out here.

0:18:48 > 0:18:50The rustic charms.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52- And no distractions. - SHE LAUGHS

0:18:52 > 0:18:53Except my family.

0:18:55 > 0:18:57You're too hard on them.

0:18:57 > 0:19:01Your grandmother was positively understanding, encouraging, even.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03Mine would've thrown a pink fit.

0:19:03 > 0:19:08They're all very concerned that poor Anna find a respectable husband.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10Well, I'm not the least bit respectable.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12I know.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14You're gloriously inappropriate.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17Still, there must be some prospect

0:19:17 > 0:19:19that I'd make a good husband one day.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23You almost had me, then.

0:19:24 > 0:19:25I'm serious.

0:19:27 > 0:19:28You must have worked it out.

0:19:30 > 0:19:31I'm head over heels about you.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36I know it's a little out of the blue...

0:19:36 > 0:19:39- but, Anna, would you... - Ed, please, wait.

0:19:40 > 0:19:41No.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44What's wrong?

0:19:44 > 0:19:46Please, just don't.

0:19:51 > 0:19:52Ed, you're a wonderful man.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55But I'm not ready to be anyone's wife.

0:19:57 > 0:19:58I hope you'll understand.

0:20:01 > 0:20:02Of course.

0:20:04 > 0:20:05Mad idea.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20What time's the next train?

0:20:20 > 0:20:24Ed, please, don't be upset with me.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26I didn't ask you to propose.

0:20:26 > 0:20:27No, you didn't.

0:20:28 > 0:20:32Really doesn't have to change anything, does it?

0:20:32 > 0:20:35Might I suggest that, given the circumstances,

0:20:35 > 0:20:37we revert to our former roles?

0:20:37 > 0:20:38Publisher and author?

0:20:39 > 0:20:42You know, I thought your novel, your cynicism about marriage

0:20:42 > 0:20:43was born of observing others.

0:20:45 > 0:20:46Now I know better.

0:20:48 > 0:20:49Publisher and author, then.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37You're telling me that what's in this letter is true?

0:21:37 > 0:21:40Carolyn and Richard, Mother slashing his hands?

0:21:40 > 0:21:44Yes. And the fight? God's sake... Why wasn't I told?

0:21:44 > 0:21:47Carolyn didn't want you to know, it's her right to demand silence.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50Elizabeth thought the fight put things to rest and the election tied

0:21:50 > 0:21:53- you to working with them. - Hmm, so her claim of a vendetta

0:21:53 > 0:21:56- could be true. - Why are we even talking about this?

0:21:56 > 0:21:57You don't actually believe her?

0:21:57 > 0:21:59The man is known for holding a grudge.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01Please, after all Regina's done.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08- I'm not reading that.- She thinks it may help put your mind at ease.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10I'm not interested.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13I know this is difficult for you, as a mother.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17No, you will not dismiss me as some hysterical woman over this.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35- HE KNOCKS AT DOOR - Mrs Goddard.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38Mr Jarvis. A fresh pot, would you join me?

0:22:38 > 0:22:41No, thank you. I'm on my way out, I want to say goodbye.

0:22:42 > 0:22:46Well, until next time. I trust we'll be seeing you soon?

0:22:46 > 0:22:47At the book launch, I'm sure.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50Well, before then, surely?

0:22:50 > 0:22:52You are most welcome here.

0:22:53 > 0:22:54It would've been my pleasure.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58Oh, I see.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02She's a very special young woman.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04Keep an eye on her, won't you?

0:23:05 > 0:23:06I do.

0:23:07 > 0:23:11Is there anything in particular that I should be concerned about?

0:23:11 > 0:23:13She does a good job of concealing how lost she is.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25I'd really like to hear more about this land business.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28You boys missing out on the soldier settlements after you came back.

0:23:28 > 0:23:31- Nobody's interested.- Well, I am.

0:23:31 > 0:23:34I'd like to know all about it from your angle.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36Perhaps we could talk about it next week?

0:23:38 > 0:23:40Yeah.

0:23:40 > 0:23:43I'm really serious about this. Please think about it.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48You all right for your medication?

0:23:48 > 0:23:49As rain.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08Now I know why you want to go to Sydney with David.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11- If there's anything I can do... - If we leave, it'll be quickly

0:24:11 > 0:24:13and I'll need you to come with us.

0:24:13 > 0:24:14Without a fuss.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19Can I go and explain to Larry?

0:24:20 > 0:24:21Course.

0:24:27 > 0:24:28You're a good girl, Leah.

0:25:36 > 0:25:37We need to talk.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16Had I known, things would've been so different.

0:26:16 > 0:26:19She is vile to dredge it up.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22Having Richard in our orbit must have been...

0:26:22 > 0:26:23..dreadful for you.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28It's in the past.

0:26:28 > 0:26:29Where I wish it to stay.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34It does lend credence to her warnings about him.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37SHE LAUGHS Regina? A figure of credibility?

0:26:37 > 0:26:38How novel.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43What else did the soon-to-be former Mrs Bligh write?

0:26:45 > 0:26:46She gave me the letter personally.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50She's back in Inverness.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53No! When?

0:26:53 > 0:26:56Yesterday. At her old cottage.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Expiation, she claims.

0:26:58 > 0:26:59How's Sarah taking it?

0:27:02 > 0:27:04Mother, when she hears,

0:27:04 > 0:27:06- her heart...- I'm loath to tell her.

0:27:06 > 0:27:08But it won't be long before someone does.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10What about Canberra?

0:27:10 > 0:27:12I had no choice. I have an important speech.

0:27:14 > 0:27:15I'll sort it out somehow.

0:27:28 > 0:27:29Are we running away?

0:28:22 > 0:28:24FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:28:27 > 0:28:29We've missed the morning service

0:28:29 > 0:28:33and Douglas won't be up to the night air, so perhaps you might join me

0:28:33 > 0:28:36- for evensong? - Very subtle, Grandmother.

0:28:36 > 0:28:38Saving the scarlet woman?

0:28:38 > 0:28:40I thought I was very accommodating this morning.

0:28:41 > 0:28:43You were.

0:28:43 > 0:28:44Perhaps more than I deserved.

0:28:47 > 0:28:48Anna?

0:28:48 > 0:28:51SHE PATS SEAT

0:28:54 > 0:28:58Now, these last few years, all the gallivanting in the social pages,

0:28:58 > 0:29:01I worry about the choices you're making.

0:29:01 > 0:29:03You're being very melodramatic.

0:29:03 > 0:29:07I've made mistakes, too, because I feared the future.

0:29:08 > 0:29:10What a funny thing to say.

0:29:10 > 0:29:12I'm not afraid of the future.

0:29:15 > 0:29:18The end of a marriage must be a very painful thing.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20Really, Grandmother?

0:29:20 > 0:29:22Gino and I divorced years ago.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24How many times do we have to discuss this?

0:29:26 > 0:29:28And yet you're still to put it behind you.

0:29:35 > 0:29:39I don't know why I'm crying, I'm sorry.

0:29:39 > 0:29:40Very silly.

0:29:41 > 0:29:45Now, dear, there is no crime in struggling to let go of the past.

0:29:47 > 0:29:49But just be cautious

0:29:49 > 0:29:51in the way that you resist moving forward.

0:29:52 > 0:29:54You could end up very much alone.

0:30:06 > 0:30:08When should I tell Mrs Nordmann you'll be back?

0:30:08 > 0:30:10We won't be long. Where is Mrs Nordmann?

0:30:10 > 0:30:12I don't know. Up we go, tiger.

0:30:20 > 0:30:22One day this will all be yours.

0:30:23 > 0:30:24To hand on to your son.

0:30:26 > 0:30:28As far as you can see.

0:30:28 > 0:30:30Even the clouds in the sky?

0:30:31 > 0:30:34- HE CHUCKLES - Even the clouds in the sky.

0:30:40 > 0:30:41Daddy's going to miss you.

0:30:50 > 0:30:52FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:31:04 > 0:31:06Tell me something. REGINA GASPS

0:31:09 > 0:31:10You didn't read the letter.

0:31:12 > 0:31:13Tell me you don't want what I have.

0:31:15 > 0:31:16- I don't.- George?

0:31:16 > 0:31:18His child?

0:31:18 > 0:31:19A future together?

0:31:19 > 0:31:21A life at Ash Park?

0:31:24 > 0:31:25WHISPERS: There you are.

0:31:27 > 0:31:29You can't be trusted anywhere near us.

0:31:29 > 0:31:31- That's no longer true.- And yet you appear to be settling in.

0:31:34 > 0:31:35Well, next time I won't hesitate,

0:31:35 > 0:31:37I will pull the trigger.

0:31:37 > 0:31:39- WHISPERS:- Sarah... - Just when you least expect it.

0:32:02 > 0:32:05Missy. A sight for sore eyes.

0:32:09 > 0:32:12Fancy a cuppa? I've got a thermos in the truck and some of

0:32:12 > 0:32:13Dornie's Lamingtons, too.

0:32:13 > 0:32:14Another time.

0:32:16 > 0:32:17Sarah.

0:32:21 > 0:32:23You all right?

0:32:25 > 0:32:26Not sure.

0:32:35 > 0:32:38Well, shouldn't the RSL do something for men like Frank?

0:32:38 > 0:32:41Don't hold your breath, they're half of the problem.

0:32:41 > 0:32:44One wonders what happened to his family.

0:32:44 > 0:32:45To think of him out there,

0:32:45 > 0:32:47alone with his demons.

0:32:47 > 0:32:48But it's a start, isn't it?

0:32:50 > 0:32:53You know, I think Frank said more about his experiences today

0:32:53 > 0:32:54than he has since the war.

0:32:54 > 0:32:56Well, he's not Robinson Crusoe there.

0:32:57 > 0:33:00Perhaps it's possible to get him...

0:33:00 > 0:33:01No cloak and dagger.

0:33:02 > 0:33:03Regina is back.

0:33:05 > 0:33:06You're not serious.

0:33:06 > 0:33:09I'm worried about Mother's health when she finds out.

0:33:09 > 0:33:11What are you two plotting over there?

0:33:11 > 0:33:16I'm convincing him he'd be a worthy advocate for men like Frank.

0:33:16 > 0:33:18Nonsense. What's really going on?

0:33:41 > 0:33:44Oh, if I could take it back, all those years ago...

0:33:44 > 0:33:47- Don't upset yourself. - ..inviting her into our lives.

0:33:47 > 0:33:50- Where are your pills? - I was a fool...- Mother.

0:33:50 > 0:33:52- Mother.- ..triggering this awful chain of events.

0:33:52 > 0:33:54Calm down. We'll work things out.

0:33:54 > 0:33:57- Why on earth would she return?- Here.

0:33:57 > 0:33:59No, I'm all right.

0:33:59 > 0:34:02Apart from being here...

0:34:02 > 0:34:03..how was the woman?

0:34:04 > 0:34:05Brittle.

0:34:13 > 0:34:15CLATTERING

0:34:18 > 0:34:19Who are you going to poison now?

0:34:26 > 0:34:29Right, grab that, let's go, let's go.

0:34:35 > 0:34:37Yeah, right.

0:34:37 > 0:34:38This'll teach her.

0:34:38 > 0:34:39BANGING

0:34:41 > 0:34:42This one's for Miss Davis.

0:34:47 > 0:34:48All right, let's get out of here.

0:34:48 > 0:34:49Now, let's go!

0:35:04 > 0:35:06- Elizabeth!- No, I am perfectly well.

0:35:06 > 0:35:11- She is not.- It's just the shock of finding Regina returned.

0:35:11 > 0:35:12I know.

0:35:12 > 0:35:14We will bring in the police.

0:35:14 > 0:35:16- Our own men, if need be. - Lizzie, please.

0:35:16 > 0:35:20Family must be together at times like this.

0:35:20 > 0:35:22I'd like to admit you just to be on the safe side.

0:35:22 > 0:35:24- I'll get the car. - But that is quite unnecessary.

0:35:24 > 0:35:25Better safe than sorry.

0:35:25 > 0:35:27Oh, don't you go joining the enemy.

0:35:27 > 0:35:30- Well, if you won't take orders... - HE COUGHS VIOLENTLY

0:35:30 > 0:35:32I'll have some rest, a book, to take my mind off this,

0:35:32 > 0:35:35perhaps Anna's manuscript, I believe Carolyn has one...

0:35:41 > 0:35:42- Sarah!- Douglas!

0:35:46 > 0:35:48SIREN WAILS

0:35:53 > 0:35:54What can you see?

0:35:54 > 0:35:56I think the stump may have broken down,

0:35:56 > 0:35:59allowing infection into the space where the lung was.

0:35:59 > 0:36:02We're going to need to perform a thoracotomy to repair it.

0:36:02 > 0:36:04- Can you step in?- Of course.

0:36:04 > 0:36:06We're not equipped for such a major procedure.

0:36:06 > 0:36:07I know what I'm doing, Jack.

0:36:07 > 0:36:10- We should transfer him to the city. - Jack, he'll bleed to death.

0:36:10 > 0:36:11We need to prep now.

0:36:13 > 0:36:15Fine. I'll scrub in.

0:36:15 > 0:36:16- Let's go.- Just a moment.

0:36:23 > 0:36:25Come back to me, darling.

0:36:27 > 0:36:29We'll do all we can.

0:36:43 > 0:36:48As suspected, bronchopleural fistula, it's leaking.

0:36:48 > 0:36:50Any sign of infection?

0:36:50 > 0:36:52The operation site has broken down.

0:36:54 > 0:36:56There's infection in the space where the lung used to be.

0:36:56 > 0:36:58Can you contain the rupture?

0:37:00 > 0:37:01Henry?

0:37:04 > 0:37:05Let's make a start.

0:37:07 > 0:37:09This is quite unnecessary.

0:37:09 > 0:37:11Will you really not take the room on offer?

0:37:11 > 0:37:12At least for a rest.

0:37:12 > 0:37:15I'm perfectly all right. If I'm not, I will tell you.

0:37:15 > 0:37:16That is enough, thank you.

0:37:16 > 0:37:17Mother!

0:37:23 > 0:37:24If Jack thinks you need to be monitored...

0:37:24 > 0:37:27Jack worries too much. It is not me we should be worried about.

0:37:30 > 0:37:32Blood pressure's dropping.

0:37:32 > 0:37:34Can't stop the bleeding.

0:37:34 > 0:37:37- Hang two more units. - We're going to lose him.

0:37:37 > 0:37:39- Come on, Douglas.- Henry.

0:37:40 > 0:37:42Henry, he's deteriorating.

0:37:43 > 0:37:47We'll transfer muscle tissue from the chest wall and patch the stump.

0:37:47 > 0:37:48You're joking?

0:37:48 > 0:37:50- Is there time? - Anyone have a better idea?

0:37:59 > 0:38:01- Anything?- No.

0:38:01 > 0:38:02It's been hours.

0:38:02 > 0:38:04Did you speak about...?

0:38:04 > 0:38:05Yes, looking after David.

0:38:05 > 0:38:06- How is she?- Oh...

0:38:11 > 0:38:14Mother. I've brought you something to eat.

0:38:14 > 0:38:16Oh, I'm not hungry.

0:38:16 > 0:38:17You need to look after yourself.

0:38:21 > 0:38:23He will get through this.

0:38:24 > 0:38:25Douglas is strong.

0:38:26 > 0:38:28Couldn't kill him with a stick.

0:38:30 > 0:38:31One lung?

0:38:31 > 0:38:32And at his age?

0:38:34 > 0:38:37Don't think I'm unaware of how slim his chances are.

0:38:46 > 0:38:50- Graft is holding. - Vital signs are improving.

0:38:50 > 0:38:52More suction.

0:38:52 > 0:38:53Clear all that blood for me.

0:39:02 > 0:39:03Henry, what's going on?

0:39:05 > 0:39:06- Look for yourself.- What?

0:39:12 > 0:39:13My God.

0:39:15 > 0:39:16What do you want to do?

0:39:18 > 0:39:19Prepare to close.

0:39:38 > 0:39:40Henry's with him. He's in good hands.

0:39:42 > 0:39:44I assume the truth is harsh, as I'm in here.

0:39:48 > 0:39:49We thought it best like this.

0:39:51 > 0:39:52Would you like George or Carolyn with you?

0:39:55 > 0:39:57Jack?

0:39:57 > 0:39:59I'd like to, er, keep you in.

0:39:59 > 0:40:01You're avoiding the truth.

0:40:01 > 0:40:02What is Douglas' prognosis?

0:40:06 > 0:40:10We opened his chest to stop the bleeding

0:40:10 > 0:40:11and we found a tumour.

0:40:14 > 0:40:16Tumours.

0:40:19 > 0:40:21But they said they'd got it all.

0:40:21 > 0:40:23With the other lung.

0:40:23 > 0:40:25The cancer has spread, Elizabeth.

0:40:25 > 0:40:27There was always a risk.

0:40:30 > 0:40:31And now?

0:40:33 > 0:40:35There's nothing more we can do.

0:40:43 > 0:40:45GIGGLING Aw, David, you're a cheeky...

0:40:45 > 0:40:47Oh, you're a cheeky monkey!

0:40:49 > 0:40:50What about Two Bears?

0:40:52 > 0:40:54You are so cheeky.

0:40:55 > 0:40:56Come on.

0:41:10 > 0:41:14I will tell others as and when I see fit.

0:41:16 > 0:41:18I do not need the added burden of pity.

0:41:23 > 0:41:24Order helps.

0:41:26 > 0:41:28We'll see George off to Canberra.

0:41:30 > 0:41:31What can he do?

0:41:33 > 0:41:34I'll tell him later.

0:41:39 > 0:41:41- SHE SOBS - Darling Douglas!

0:41:52 > 0:41:54DOOR OPENS

0:41:57 > 0:41:59Home now. We can see Douglas in the morning.

0:42:03 > 0:42:05- Goodnight.- Goodnight, Mother.

0:42:08 > 0:42:09How are you?

0:42:10 > 0:42:12- Quite an evening.- Yes, it was.

0:42:13 > 0:42:15- He will pull through?- He's strong.

0:42:17 > 0:42:19How quickly things turn.

0:42:20 > 0:42:21This business with Regina...

0:42:21 > 0:42:23I'm not running away.

0:42:25 > 0:42:27Let's go to Canberra.

0:42:27 > 0:42:28Together.

0:42:28 > 0:42:30All of us.

0:42:30 > 0:42:33It'll put my mind at ease and by the time we get back she'll be well

0:42:33 > 0:42:36- and truly gone, I'm sure of it. - Your mother might need me here.

0:42:36 > 0:42:38- Well, there's plenty of help. - And I am the other woman.

0:42:40 > 0:42:41And our child is...

0:42:51 > 0:42:52Scandal be dammed.

0:42:55 > 0:42:56I want you safe and secure...

0:42:57 > 0:42:58..and with me.

0:43:00 > 0:43:01Nothing else trumps that.

0:43:08 > 0:43:09WHISPERS: Yes.

0:43:24 > 0:43:27Sydney. 20239.

0:43:29 > 0:43:31PHONE RINGS

0:43:32 > 0:43:33Mm-hm?

0:43:33 > 0:43:34Are you there? It's me.

0:43:37 > 0:43:39What do you think you're playing at?

0:43:39 > 0:43:43Everything's fine, Dickie. There's no need to worry.

0:43:43 > 0:43:47- Where the hell are you?- I'm exactly where you'd want me to be.

0:43:47 > 0:43:50Just a little ahead of schedule.

0:43:50 > 0:43:51It's what we want, isn't it?

0:43:53 > 0:43:55I simply couldn't wait.
