0:00:02 > 0:00:04There must be some prospect I'd make a good husband one day.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06I'm not ready to be anyone's wife.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Might I suggest that, given the circumstances,
0:00:08 > 0:00:10we revert to our former roles?
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Publisher and author.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15Scratch out her name, all right? She won't be coming in.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19- She made the appointment, she should cancel it.- Well, I'm her husband.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21- Who did this to you, Sheila? - I fell.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Since the operation, I'm a bit lopsided.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27- Is he all right?- Douglas!
0:00:29 > 0:00:31The cancer has spread, Elizabeth.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33There's nothing more we can do.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35I will tell others
0:00:35 > 0:00:37as and when I see fit.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41- You can't stay here. - I am a different person now.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Before you leave, you don't go anywhere near my family.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46- Regina's here.- In Inverness?
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Pack your bags, I'll take you to the station.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Sir Richard is not your friend.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53He sees me as playing a hand in your destruction.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56He's always considered me his foot soldier.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58- What are you doing? - I'm taking David to Aunt Peg's.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00He'll be her target, I know it.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Who are you going to poison now?!
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- Let's go to Canberra. - Your mother might need me here.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13And I am the other woman.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Goodness!
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Look at this!
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Is this...
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Toast and tea?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Thank you, sweetheart.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54His idea.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Bless him.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Are we sure about Canberra?
0:02:02 > 0:02:04You've got a lot to lose.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06I'm not losing anything.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- David and I are the great unspoken. - Sarah, it's common knowledge.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- But not discussed. - Perhaps it's time it was.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16And we will manage things as they come.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Let's do it.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Well, I suppose this way I get to hear your speech.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34Look at these.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Douglas's favourite.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- You're off to Canberra this afternoon?- Yes.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Actually, Sarah's decided to come with me.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46We've thought it through.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Well, I can see that taking David away is a good idea,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52but Sarah has her work.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55She'll make alternative arrangements.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- She's not going to be seen in public with you, is she...?- Mother!
0:02:59 > 0:03:02..because I strongly suggest that you exercise some discretion.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Thank you, but we'll manage things as we see fit.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10I've organised the staff to convert this room into a temporary bedroom.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Douglas won't manage the stairs for a while.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Well, he's not coming home just yet?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19I want him here as soon as possible.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Don't underestimate the strain you'll be under caring for him.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25It'll be far less stressful with him here
0:03:25 > 0:03:27than having to traipse back and forth to the hospital.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Surely that will depend on how he's faring?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33What's Sarah told you?
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Nothing. Just that it'll take time for him to recover.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Well, he's my husband and I want to care for him.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Besides, I have Carolyn to help if need be.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Of course.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- But if anything was to happen... - You're just a telephone call away.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Thank you, George.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57You need to be in Canberra to get this trade deal settled.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01You look after yourself, mother.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06And you give that O'Sullivan a run for his money while you're at it.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Bang, bang, bang!
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Bang, bang!
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- Bang, bang, bang!- You shot me.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Morning, Mr O'Rourke.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Sister Nordmann from the clinic.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- Yeah, I know who you are. - I'm here to see Sheila.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Any particular reason?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39She missed an appointment with us yesterday, and it's important...
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Well, she's not here.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48Your wife needs follow-up treatment after her mastectomy.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Well, she'll come in when she's good and ready.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Well, I'll tell the clinic to expect her tomorrow, then,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58unless there's something you don't want us to see?
0:04:58 > 0:05:00The ruddy women's clinic.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03A bunch of clacking crows.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08My wife...
0:05:08 > 0:05:10is none of your business.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13You don't frighten me, Mr O'Rourke.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Is everything all right?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Expect a lot of crows on your doorstep, Mr O'Rourke.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Until Sheila comes in, the clacking won't stop.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43You can see it through here and through there.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Just as we thought.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48It's certainly aggressive.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50It's spread to his blood and lymphatic systems.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Would you like to be there when I tell him?
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- Tell him what? - That his condition's terminal.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Douglas is recovering from major surgery.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05What on earth would that achieve?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08It will give him time to prepare for what's to come.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11None of us can predict how this will turn out.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13I think we can be pretty confident
0:06:13 > 0:06:15that Douglas won't make it to Christmas.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Our policy here is the same as everywhere else.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Not at my last two hospitals.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23The thinking is changing.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Well, we don't give patients bad news
0:06:25 > 0:06:27unless their next of kin decide they want them told.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30What do we tell them, then? Everything went well?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- He'll be back on a horse before he knows it?- Of course not.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35It's wrong to encourage hope where it doesn't exist.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37It's worse to create unnecessary despair.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Is this an existential argument or is there
0:06:40 > 0:06:42something specific you'd like an opinion on?
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Henry thinks Douglas needs to know that his condition is terminal.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52This isn't your decision to make.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Douglas is not to be told.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- What did they say?- Who? - The doctors.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Is that the best you could find?
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Argh! Oh!
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Agh!
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Agh!
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- Young Larry Gray and Mrs Briggs. - He's been keeping bad company.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55He and some other lads were bragging about throwing rocks and eggs
0:07:55 > 0:07:57at Regina Bligh's cottage.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59You reap what you sow.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- Where do you want these? - Just in here's fine.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04I think you should have a word with him, Roy.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Not that one cares for that woman,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08but it could foster raucousness elsewhere
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- and who knows where that may lead? - Right, I'll have a word.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18Mrs Duncan, I took the liberty of making Mr Goddard a trifle.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- Something to soothe his poor throat. - Lovely.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22I'll bring it over.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Thank you, Doris.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I came very close to hitting that man.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Probably make things worse for her.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33People think Stan O'Rourke's an upstanding member of the community.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36This football coach, volunteer on the fire brigade.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Mister all-round nice guy, eh?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40You will do your best for her, won't you?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Of course. You're not to worry. - And call if there's anything.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46We should all be together.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47How's Elizabeth?
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Keeping up a brave face. It's hard not telling Carolyn.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54And George, but it's Elizabeth's tale to tell.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56If and when she's ready.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59You enjoy Canberra.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Just watch you don't take a swing at one of those Pommies.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04No promises.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- Keep me up-to-date with Douglas. - Will do.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12HE BREATHES HEAVILY
0:09:13 > 0:09:16I thought perhaps the day room might be suitable
0:09:16 > 0:09:19but the sitting room has that lovely morning light.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22It's warmer, I think.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Oh, here she is.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28How's the patient?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Fighting fit.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Elizabeth's been telling me all about her plans
0:09:35 > 0:09:38to turn Ash Park into a rehabilitation centre.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Simply converting a downstairs room into a temporary bedroom.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46So you'll all be stuck with me for a bit longer, I'm afraid.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Actually, George and I are heading to Canberra.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Yes.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Lizzie tells me you'll be gone for a month.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Good on you.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59It's a big step.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02We'll be back and forth.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07Well, give me a chance to get my strength back for David.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11You can tell him I'll be working on a new Airfix plane for him
0:10:11 > 0:10:14just as soon as they let me out of here.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I will.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21You take care of yourself, Douglas.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Be back in a minute.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I won't go if you think you can't manage.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44No, no, you must go.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47He'll know something's up if you change your plans.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52Sarah, this situation is causing discord between Jack and Henry.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54To tell or not to tell.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57What's your opinion?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- Everyone else seems to have one. - It's an entirely personal matter.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02You have no opinion, then?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06I think it's up to the patient to decide
0:11:06 > 0:11:08how much information they want.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Listen to Douglas.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14He'll let you know if he wants to face it.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Now, remember, in Canberra, there's no need to flaunt your situation.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25We're not ashamed of our situation, Elizabeth.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53Oi.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Tell your mates to stop their hooning around, all right?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00This chucking rocks and eggs. That's kid's stuff.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- I don't know what you're talking about.- Regina Bligh.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07She killed Miss Davies.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10She done the crime, she done the time.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- Just leave her alone. - Give us one good reason.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23I'll give you two. One, you're stooping to her level.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Two, you're poking a brown snake, son.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30It ends now.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Clear?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41How are your hospital digs going?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Spartan, but they'll do.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49You must be looking forward to James coming back?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57You could always use me and my medical check-ups as your cover...
0:12:58 > 0:13:00..when you want to visit Ash Park.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07I'm very grateful to you and Jack for saving my life.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11It's all part of the job.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- HE STRUGGLES FOR BREATH - This...
0:13:13 > 0:13:15haemorrhage.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17What do you think caused it?
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Oh, it's hard to be sure.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22It could be as simple as a post-operative bleed.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Or as complex as...?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Everyone reacts differently to surgery.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32It's rarely straightforward.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40I confess, I may not have rested as well as I probably should have.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47We don't know what we're dealing with just yet.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52But, once you've recovered...
0:13:53 > 0:13:55..we'll reassess.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07- You saw Douglas? - I lied to him, as directed.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10There's a lot of grey between what you call lying and what I call being sensitive.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13We need to stop treating patients like children.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Is that it?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18- Yes.- Good.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Looks like this is it.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35You'd better write to me, then.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37I will.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39But you have to send me letters too.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I don't care how bad your spelling is.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43- Promise?- Yeah.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Yeah, I promise.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Wait!
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- Stop, please! - Regina, what the...?!
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- Where are you going?- What are you doing?!- I need to talk to you!
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- I came back to help you! - Mummy, I'm frightened.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53How can I help you if you're not here? Please!
0:15:53 > 0:15:55I'm working in your favour!
0:15:55 > 0:15:58I'm feeding Sir Richard information. I'm on your side.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- Please, George, you're a fool! - Leave us alone!
0:16:01 > 0:16:02Stop!
0:16:02 > 0:16:05How can I help you if you won't listen?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07You're a fool, George!
0:16:07 > 0:16:08George!
0:16:35 > 0:16:37I can understand Sarah's need
0:16:37 > 0:16:40to get as far away from Regina as possible
0:16:40 > 0:16:42and to protect David.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44But Canberra?
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Goodness knows what they'll make of the situation.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56And I know what you're thinking.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58It's none of my concern.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01You got it in one.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04There's nothing I can do about it, is there?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06That's right.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09HE WHEEZES
0:17:12 > 0:17:15I sent your letter to the refuge, by the way.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17I've missed the men.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21I've let them know that you won't be in for a while
0:17:21 > 0:17:24and it seems they'll survive.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28You are not entirely indispensable, you know!
0:17:28 > 0:17:29Well, that's a blow.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Tell me if I'm chattering too much.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36Lizzie...
0:17:39 > 0:17:41..I could listen to you all day long.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43As long as I'm not bothering you.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Darling, if you need to close your eyes and have a little rest,
0:17:48 > 0:17:49you do that.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Dickie...
0:18:08 > 0:18:10he's taking the Jew to Canberra.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59She's got guts, that Sister Nordmann.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- You're not wrong there. - She really gave it to Stan O'Rourke.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06But she'd better be careful. It could get real nasty for her.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Yes.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- Your feet sensation's good. - You reckon?
0:19:13 > 0:19:16What you need to do is keep it that way. Glucose and diet, hm?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Mm, so I hear.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Any cuts on your feet, straight to the hospital,
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- tell them you're a diabetic. - Yeah, doc, I know the drill.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Just making sure.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Well, I'm done for the morning.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Let's go down the pub, grab a can of lunch before you head off.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I could do with a cold beer.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I'm not sure beer's what you should be drinking.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39What, you're my mother now?
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Not last time I looked.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53I've got the broth for Douglas. Cook said you ordered it?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58I thought perhaps I could take you back to the hospital.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01You'd only have to turn around and pick me up later.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03There's no sense in that.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Before you go...
0:20:07 > 0:20:10I glanced through your book.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15And I can only say I'm pleased I didn't give it to Douglas to read.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17It is an absolute betrayal of him
0:20:17 > 0:20:20and of all the men who fought for this country.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23I don't know how you can interpret it like that.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Brutish ex-servicemen too stupefied to leave the house?!
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Dissatisfied wives chained to the kitchen sink?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Douglas would be horrified. Disgusted!
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Well, maybe if you'd read it properly, you've glanced...
0:20:34 > 0:20:37I've read enough to know that there is absolutely no compassion
0:20:37 > 0:20:40or understanding of what those poor men went through.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42It is a work of fiction.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45It is also steamy and vacuous, without any semblance of discretion.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Actually, it reads as if it's destined for the censorship board.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- What?!- It is one thing to talk about this sort of thing in private, young lady,
0:20:52 > 0:20:55but it is quite another to bandy it about in the public domain.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Anything else?
0:21:02 > 0:21:04You would not be writing novels at all
0:21:04 > 0:21:07if not for the wealth and privilege that you were born into.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09But noblesse oblige, Anna.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12There are certain responsibilities that go with it.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14I'm...
0:21:18 > 0:21:20I'm disappointed.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34I shouldn't have left it where she'd find it.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38It's not your fault. Sooner or later she was going to read the book
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- and take it all the wrong way. - Sounds like she overreacted.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45She thinks I'm disgusting.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47She thinks I'm spoiled.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53What I was trying to do was lift the lid on hypocrisy,
0:21:53 > 0:21:55challenge the status quo,
0:21:55 > 0:21:58but, no, apparently I'm the writer of a dirty book.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02- Anna...- Steamy and vacuous. Those were her words.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06It's not the best time to be upsetting her.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10- I didn't ask her to read it. - Whatever she said, the truth is...
0:22:12 > 0:22:15I think she's shattered about Douglas.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17But he's going to be all right.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19He's going to get better.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Jack hasn't said anything, but...
0:22:22 > 0:22:24..I suspect he's dying.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26They're keeping it quiet.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29It's possibly why she's so sensitive about how he'd feel.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33I'm not suggesting you don't publish,
0:22:33 > 0:22:36but there is wisdom in taking a breath, counting to ten,
0:22:36 > 0:22:39really thinking about the context.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42If you know it's going to contribute to your grandmother's distress,
0:22:42 > 0:22:44can you hold back for now?
0:23:11 > 0:23:12He's asleep.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16I think I'm going to like it here.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22- Drink?- Not for me. I need to finish this speech for tomorrow.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27I think I should sit this one out.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Why don't I go to the next function?
0:23:37 > 0:23:41You are to put on your gladrags, Cinderella,
0:23:41 > 0:23:43and accompany me to the ball.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47I hope I don't need quite that degree of transformation.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59You look like you've had a tough day.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02It wasn't easy.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Is it Douglas?
0:24:14 > 0:24:16He's dying, isn't he?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19You know I can't...
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Patient confidentiality.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26He is, then.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31I knew mother wasn't...
0:24:33 > 0:24:35She must be so devastated.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Henry's not helping.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41He insists Douglas should be told.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52And I take it you agree with him?
0:24:53 > 0:24:58- What if I were terminally ill? Would you keep it from me?- Yes.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02If I thought it would get in the way of you enjoying what time was left.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05That's a very paternalistic approach.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06It's a compassionate approach
0:25:06 > 0:25:09that's worked perfectly well for many, many years.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Is it so terrifying?
0:25:14 > 0:25:15Dying?
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Change.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21- Can't you at least contemplate there might be...- Enough!
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Sorry.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Enjoy your game.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13RUMBLE OF THUNDER
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- So, how's it going, Buddy Holly? - Yeah, not too bad.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Where's he off to?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Bloody smartarse.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Sitting up like Jackie yesterday at the inside bar
0:27:14 > 0:27:16with his fancy doctor friend.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18He's getting too big for his boots.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23He's been scaring the daylights out of my missus, too. Yeah.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Eyeing her off.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30Wife won't go out of the house. She's terrified of him.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34You got a light?
0:27:38 > 0:27:41I'll swing by lunchtime. We'll go for a spin.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42Whereabouts?
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Hey, fill her up.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01- Where are you off to? - I need to speak with Ed.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05Anna, what I said yesterday, I shouldn't have interfered.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09Yes, you should. I've decided to make some changes to the manuscript,
0:28:09 > 0:28:11which is why I need to see Ed.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13I didn't want you to change it,
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- so much as sit on it until things settle down.- No, you're right.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20I'm worried I've transferred all my cynicism about men onto the page.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23I can see now why grandmother would be offended on Douglas's behalf
0:28:23 > 0:28:27and, after rereading it, there are other recognisable things,
0:28:27 > 0:28:30or at least they could be construed that way, so I want to make the adjustments.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34All right, but don't change the heart of what you're saying.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37You've a keen eye.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41Especially that woman trapped by love in a provincial setting.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43Ivy.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47A woman longing to make her mark on the world.
0:28:49 > 0:28:50I recognised her.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53That's me with Gino, not you with Papa.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Perhaps a combination of us both.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03You are a wonderful writer.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Go.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Don't change Ivy.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48All right.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50How many matches, son?
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Hey.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58He'll be after your Leah next.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29WINDOWS SMASH
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Bang!
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Up she goes, eh?!
0:30:35 > 0:30:36HE LAUGHS
0:30:37 > 0:30:40How about that?
0:30:40 > 0:30:42Yes.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24That was...
0:31:25 > 0:31:29..almost as good as the creme brulee we shared in...
0:31:29 > 0:31:30- Paris.- Ah, yes.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- Chez Benoit.- Mm.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35I seem to remember you ate the lot.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38- Really?- Mm.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41My manners must have escaped me.
0:31:43 > 0:31:44Well...
0:31:45 > 0:31:47..next time we're in Paris...
0:31:48 > 0:31:51..we'll be sure to find that very place again
0:31:51 > 0:31:54and you shall eat creme brulee to your heart's content, my love.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Do you see the smoke?
0:32:19 > 0:32:21You OK?
0:32:30 > 0:32:33Doesn't take much guessing to figure out what happened.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37- Stan O'Rourke and his scaly mates. - The policeman?
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Copper's not going to help no black man.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44- That ain't right, mate.- Arson is arson, anyway you look at it.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Well, that's the way it is in this country, isn't it? Everywhere.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52There's two laws. One for white fellas and one for black fellas.
0:32:54 > 0:32:55What'll you do?
0:32:55 > 0:32:59I'm going to clean up. I'll let Tommo know.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Tell me all the paintings weren't in there.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Yeah.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Lucky your missus got the important one, eh?
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Thank you.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41- Are you ready? - As ready as I'll ever be.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44You will be magnificent.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54STRING QUARTET PLAYS
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Nice to see you.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16We won't to be short on entertainment tonight.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Plenty here on both sides of the political fence.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20- Madam.- Thank you.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22Allow me to introduce you to Mrs Sarah Nordmann.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26Mrs Nordmann, this is Sir Earl Page, our Minister for Health.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28- Delighted to meet you. - The pleasure's all mine.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31I trust you've been studying up on your baseball scores.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33The Yanks talk about nothing else, I'm afraid.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35I'll be no use to them there.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Well, less about baseball and more about trade agreements.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42In my experience, they're going to be tough negotiators.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Ladies and gentlemen, the Prime Minister, Mr Menzies,
0:34:44 > 0:34:47and Dame Pattie Menzies.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49APPLAUSE
0:34:52 > 0:34:55How's that property of yours going, George?
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Very well, thank you, Earl. Very well indeed.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00George, Sir Richard is here.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02What a surprise.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05- If you'll excuse me?- Of course.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Mrs Nordmann, since you're a nursing...
0:35:13 > 0:35:15Richard, I wasn't aware you were attending.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Any opportunity to schmooze the Yanks.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21What is she doing here?
0:35:21 > 0:35:23For goodness' sake, man, look around you.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26She's not a debutante to be brought out in polite society.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29The majority of our colleagues are aware of the situation.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32- For those that aren't, I'm introducing them.- Menzies is here.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35- And Dame Pattie has met Sarah before.- Private home.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39Keep it on the farm. Don't rub people's faces in it.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43I'll do what I can do to minimise the damage.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49- George.- Neil. - I see you've brought a friend.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Looks a good sort.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54Labour, of course, wants to get rid of the voluntary organisations.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Even the friendly societies. Makes absolutely no sense at all.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00I would like both parties to pay more interest to women's health.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02I think my wife would agree with you.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04- Afternoon, Earl.- Dame Pattie.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09- Sarah, isn't it?- Yes, we met at Prudence Swanson's some time ago.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Yes. Anne, come and join us.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- Sarah, allow me to introduce you to Anne Edwards.- How do you do?
0:36:16 > 0:36:17Pleased to meet you.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20Sarah's involved in community health,
0:36:20 > 0:36:22- though not in charity work as yourself.- I see.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25I think you two will get along famously.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28- George.- Prime Minister.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30- How are you, my good man? - Very well, sir.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33George, I'd like your support in this Lake Burley Griffin issue.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36- Of course. - If we can pull this off,
0:36:36 > 0:36:39it will be the jewel in the crown of the capital.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41Think of the Seine and the Thames.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Think of Sydney Harbour.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46I shouldn't have taken him to the pub.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Don't blame yourself.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50Those men are hateful.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54Stan O'Rourke has it in for anyone who threatens his brutish existence.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56And now Frank's a scapegoat.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01It's lucky you took his painting.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05I didn't take anything.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08He asked me to hold on to his Namatjira for safekeeping.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11Pity you didn't grab everything. He's lost everything else.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15I told you, I didn't take or grab anything.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Fine.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22It came from me sticking my nose in where it wasn't wanted,
0:37:22 > 0:37:24- but thank goodness I did. - I'm not criticising you.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28But you have before, which is why I kept it from you.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- I need to clean up.- I'll have Lynette run a bath for you.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36No, I'll just grab a quick shower.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40I promised I'd go back in to see Douglas.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Well, gentlemen, I get the feeling from the room
0:37:56 > 0:38:00that our guests are ready to talk turkey, as they say over there.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03American trade will eclipse our trade with Great Britain
0:38:03 > 0:38:05within a decade, you watch.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09Remembering, of course, that Australia is first and foremost
0:38:09 > 0:38:12a member of the British Commonwealth.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15Our loyalty is always to the Queen.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19Have you given O'Sullivan the wool price we're quoting tonight?
0:38:19 > 0:38:21I'll do that now.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25You know, George, for all their talk about, erm, progress,
0:38:25 > 0:38:28the Americans are a very moralistic lot.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Largely Puritan stock.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35No matter how pleasant your friend may be,
0:38:35 > 0:38:38I'm surprised you thought it appropriate to bring her
0:38:38 > 0:38:40to this occasion.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44That friend you're referring to happens to be the mother of my son.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48And I would have thought tonight was about bilateral trade,
0:38:48 > 0:38:50not gossip.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54Whatever your arrangements, George, they should remain discreet.
0:38:55 > 0:38:56Of course.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29- What have you done? - I've reworked it.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33- You've destroyed it. - I haven't destroyed it.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35You've taken out the things that make it unique.
0:39:35 > 0:39:40It's not that different. It's a more subtle version of the same story.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43No, Anna, this is self-censorship.
0:39:43 > 0:39:48It is a limp, watered-down version of what was a work of substance.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52I see.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55You have to understand my situation at home.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59If you're going to wait around for permission from your family,
0:39:59 > 0:40:02you will never be a good writer, let alone a great one.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05This is the third manuscript you have destroyed.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Are you afraid of success?
0:40:07 > 0:40:08If that were the case,
0:40:08 > 0:40:11I wouldn't have published Own Worst Enemy, would I?
0:40:12 > 0:40:15You wrote something fearless and brilliant,
0:40:15 > 0:40:18and for some reason you have decided to whitewash it
0:40:18 > 0:40:21into this bland rendition of simpering love.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27- I won't let you throw it away. - Ed, please, would you just leave it?
0:40:34 > 0:40:36I've hurt you. I'm sorry.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41It's just that I love what you wrote.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45And I want to protect the best of you.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49You're bold.
0:40:50 > 0:40:51Original.
0:40:54 > 0:40:55Provocative.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03I think that you're making the mistake
0:41:03 > 0:41:05of confusing me with my work.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Well, that's understandable, isn't it?
0:41:09 > 0:41:11It's a deeply personal book.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15Let's not pretend it isn't.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17Why else do you want to destroy it?
0:41:19 > 0:41:21I think that you should go.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25- Anna...- No, we've resolved this.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27We have no future.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29I think you should leave.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39There's a contract.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42I will be publishing the manuscript as it is.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46- You can't.- Watch me.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Can I help you, Mrs Goddard?
0:42:08 > 0:42:10I'm all right, thank you.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Jack said he'd pop in after his home visits.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16I think Douglas may need a little more pain relief.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18I can organise that.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22How is he faring? How are you faring?
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Erm, it's been a long day.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32And have you thought any more about telling Douglas the truth?
0:42:33 > 0:42:35I've made my position on this clear.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Whenever I speak to Douglas, I get the distinct impression
0:42:39 > 0:42:42that he wants to know what his prospects are.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46I've sat with him all day and I can assure you that he has been anything but morbid.
0:42:46 > 0:42:47Quite the contrary.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Wanting the truth and being morbid are not the same thing.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52- Spare me the semantics! - Mrs Goddard...
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Henry, I understand your dilemma,
0:42:54 > 0:42:57as someone both close to the family and Douglas's surgeon,
0:42:57 > 0:43:00but there's a lot to be said for letting someone
0:43:00 > 0:43:04come to things gently and in their own good time.
0:43:04 > 0:43:08Your husband wants to know the truth. He all but asked me outright.
0:43:08 > 0:43:09That's enough!
0:43:10 > 0:43:13Elizabeth, you go back to Douglas.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19I'll handle this.
0:43:24 > 0:43:28This so-called progressive approach of yours borders on cruelty.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31I told you, it's not hospital policy.
0:43:31 > 0:43:35- Hospital policy needs to change. - You think so.- Yes, I do!
0:43:36 > 0:43:39There is no excuse for leaving patients in the dark
0:43:39 > 0:43:41about the gravity of their illness. It is their life.
0:43:41 > 0:43:44And yet they're the last ones to find out it's coming to an end.
0:43:44 > 0:43:47- It's immoral. - Don't talk to me about morality.
0:43:47 > 0:43:50Your sort wouldn't know the meaning of the word.
0:43:58 > 0:44:00WHEEZING
0:44:08 > 0:44:10Douglas...
0:44:14 > 0:44:16Are you in pain?
0:44:19 > 0:44:21No. The painkillers are working nicely.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29- I have a question for you. - What is it?
0:44:33 > 0:44:35Am I dying?
0:44:37 > 0:44:39Hm?
0:44:46 > 0:44:47I didn't...
0:44:50 > 0:44:52I didn't want to say.
0:44:57 > 0:44:59I couldn't.
0:45:08 > 0:45:10It's all right.
0:45:12 > 0:45:14Don't you cry over old Douglas.
0:45:15 > 0:45:17You'll be all right.
0:45:32 > 0:45:34I can't believe this place is the capital of the country.
0:45:34 > 0:45:37Where we are now, is this what they call the Outback?
0:45:37 > 0:45:40It's the best-lit paddock in Australia.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43Why would he just suddenly turn up?
0:45:45 > 0:45:48- We're both thinking it. - Regina called him.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51One day this city will be known all around the world, you watch.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54You need a few more skyscrapers in my humble opinion.
0:45:54 > 0:45:57- GERMAN ACCENT:- I hate to fly. It makes me very sick.
0:45:57 > 0:45:59Well, you've so far to come.
0:45:59 > 0:46:02Really, we thought we would never get here.
0:46:10 > 0:46:11What is it?
0:46:12 > 0:46:14LAUGHTER
0:46:19 > 0:46:21They told me there are...
0:46:21 > 0:46:23DISTORTED SPEECH
0:46:23 > 0:46:25BARKING
0:46:27 > 0:46:28Really?
0:46:28 > 0:46:30HER BREATHING QUICKENS
0:46:35 > 0:46:36Excuse me.
0:46:39 > 0:46:42SHE GASPS FOR BREATH
0:46:51 > 0:46:52Sarah.
0:46:59 > 0:47:01What's wrong?
0:47:03 > 0:47:05That... That woman.
0:47:07 > 0:47:09She was a guard...
0:47:11 > 0:47:13..at Ravensbruck.
