0:00:02 > 0:00:04- I came back to help you. Please, George, you're a fool. - Leave us alone.

0:00:04 > 0:00:06I keep trying to tell George,

0:00:06 > 0:00:08Sir Richard is out to ruin the family.

0:00:08 > 0:00:10Go through your accounts with a fine-tooth comb.

0:00:10 > 0:00:12Investments, loans, everything.

0:00:12 > 0:00:14There are three accounts on one statement.

0:00:14 > 0:00:17Do you know whose money you've actually borrowed?

0:00:17 > 0:00:19Frederick Stern is completely reputable.

0:00:19 > 0:00:21They wouldn't put us in any danger.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23Yes, but do they know? We should find out.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25How long have I got?

0:00:25 > 0:00:26Months.

0:00:26 > 0:00:29I want to go at a time of my own choosing.

0:00:29 > 0:00:30Absolutely not.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33Jack's hospital meanders along in the past.

0:00:33 > 0:00:35I support my husband.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37As James would me, if he were here.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39You must be missing him.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41Do you really see his charade as necessary?

0:00:41 > 0:00:43It will help Olivia announce their divorce

0:00:43 > 0:00:45without too many awkward questions arising.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47Your father loathes homosexuals.

0:00:47 > 0:00:48Ironic, given his son.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50We're going to have a party.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53- Are we?- On the 15th of next month.

0:00:53 > 0:00:57Thank you. It's always a big day at the refuge, VP Day.

0:00:57 > 0:00:58Victory in the Pacific.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01Douglas won't be well enough to go to them, so...

0:01:02 > 0:01:03..I'll invite them here.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05I need your help.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07If you're asking what I think you're asking, I...

0:01:07 > 0:01:08I can't.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00It's just so incredibly...

0:02:01 > 0:02:02..sudden.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07Sometimes the body...just gives out, sweetheart.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09He was in his element this afternoon.

0:02:11 > 0:02:12He loved every moment of the party.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16- TEARFULLY:- The men in their fancy dress!

0:02:16 > 0:02:18CHUCKLES

0:02:18 > 0:02:20His final moments were so full of joy,

0:02:20 > 0:02:22surrounded by the people who loved him.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25For that, we should be grateful.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27Small comfort, when all's said and done.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Mother, can I get you anything?

0:02:34 > 0:02:38- What would you like to do? - Douglas abhorred maudlin displays.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43He rather liked that quote from Berlioz, "Time is a great teacher,

0:02:43 > 0:02:46"but unfortunately, it kills its pupils."

0:02:46 > 0:02:51Carolyn, if you could assist with organising a memorial at the refuge,

0:02:51 > 0:02:53for those unable to make it to the funeral.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57George, if you might telephone James.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Of course. He'll want to be here.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02Please make clear I don't expect him to drop everything and rush home.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04Well, it's high time he did.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06I'll speak with the funeral home if you take no issue with

0:03:06 > 0:03:08the service being held later in the week.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11- As you wish. - If there's anything I can do...

0:03:11 > 0:03:12I'll let you know.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15If you'll excuse me, I'll say goodnight.

0:03:15 > 0:03:16Of course.

0:03:18 > 0:03:19Excuse me.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32Mother?

0:03:32 > 0:03:33Yes?

0:03:37 > 0:03:40Would you like me to sit with you for a little while?

0:03:40 > 0:03:41What?

0:03:41 > 0:03:42No.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47You've every reason to feel the shock of this.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53This was hardly unexpected.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Just...

0:03:55 > 0:03:56not today.

0:03:57 > 0:03:58No.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03MUSIC: Tristesse by Chopin

0:04:31 > 0:04:34You need to keep a close eye on her.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Yes.- I'm not sure I've ever seen her like that.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41She's just suffered a terrible loss.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44Yes.

0:04:46 > 0:04:47He was a fine man.

0:04:51 > 0:04:52I think I need to hold her son.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56Yes, me too.

0:05:03 > 0:05:04It's higher than I'd like.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09Must we revisit this conversation at every upheaval?

0:05:15 > 0:05:16Perhaps something to help you sleep.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18SHE SCOFFS

0:05:18 > 0:05:19Douglas says insomnia is the refuge..

0:05:21 > 0:05:23..of the guilty conscience.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Said.

0:05:29 > 0:05:30He was very fond of you.

0:05:32 > 0:05:33A good bloke.

0:05:34 > 0:05:35I'll miss him.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45After everything, I suppose it makes sense.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48His heart giving out like that.

0:05:51 > 0:05:52I'm sure you're right.

0:06:08 > 0:06:09What?

0:06:12 > 0:06:13Nothing.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17- If you wouldn't mind...- Of course.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48SHE SOBS

0:07:34 > 0:07:36SHE SOBS

0:07:38 > 0:07:40DOG BARKS SHEEP BLEAT

0:07:40 > 0:07:42Thank God you're here.

0:07:42 > 0:07:43How is she this morning?

0:07:43 > 0:07:45Strip the linen...

0:07:45 > 0:07:46Come and see.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49..and the equipment back to the hospital.

0:07:49 > 0:07:50What are you waiting for?

0:07:50 > 0:07:52This should have been done hours ago.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54S-s-sorry, ma'am.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56Really, is a little bit of initiative too much to ask?

0:07:56 > 0:07:58Elizabeth, perhaps we can lend a hand.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00Excuse me.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03Thank you, Lynette. That'll be all.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05Lynette, take that with you.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12PHONE RINGS What happened there?

0:08:12 > 0:08:13Does it matter?

0:08:13 > 0:08:15I think tea. Anyone?

0:08:15 > 0:08:16Yes.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19Mr Bligh? Telephone. Sir Richard Bennett.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Go ahead.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25This new information makes dealing with him...

0:08:25 > 0:08:27A challenge, but you'll play your hand well.

0:08:37 > 0:08:38Richard.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40This really isn't a good time, I'm afraid.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44George, I heard about Goddard. A terrible shock.

0:08:44 > 0:08:45Condolences to all.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52- I'll pass them on.- Is it jumping the gun to ask about the funeral plans?

0:08:53 > 0:08:55That's very kind of you to think of it,

0:08:55 > 0:08:58but I know you have more pressing matters.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01These are the times we need our friends close by, George.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04Mother's keen for it to be a small affair, Richard.

0:09:04 > 0:09:05Just family.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Good thing I am, then.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11I understand there's to be a memorial in town

0:09:11 > 0:09:14for his city friends, colleagues.

0:09:14 > 0:09:15I'll let you know, shall I?

0:09:15 > 0:09:19Ah, bunkum. I need to come down to your neck of the woods.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22I just snapped up the local rag for a song.

0:09:22 > 0:09:27- The Mercury?- We really should discuss financing your re-election.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30How deep will your pockets be?

0:09:30 > 0:09:35Once the funeral's over, let's meet in town, shall we?

0:09:35 > 0:09:38You're not getting cold feet on me, George.

0:09:38 > 0:09:42I'll be in touch. Mother will appreciate your condolences.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Good-oh.

0:09:53 > 0:09:57George. You're back from Canberra. I didn't realise.

0:09:57 > 0:09:58- You've read my letter?- I have.

0:09:59 > 0:10:00You believe me now?

0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Why I've returned.- I had a mind to.

0:10:03 > 0:10:04Until Richard telephoned.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09- I don't understand.- Please, Regina.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11No outsiders could have known of Douglas's death.

0:10:11 > 0:10:15Who else could have fed him such intimate information?

0:10:15 > 0:10:16Douglas passed away?

0:10:17 > 0:10:19Oh, my!

0:10:20 > 0:10:21Poor Elizabeth.

0:10:24 > 0:10:25You...

0:10:25 > 0:10:27You didn't know?

0:10:27 > 0:10:28No.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33So you don't have someone feeding you information?

0:10:33 > 0:10:35Sir Richard is the one with spies.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40So why is he so very determined to attend the funeral?

0:10:40 > 0:10:43He wants to dance on the grave and savour Elizabeth's pain.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46The malice I told you of.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48I urge you not to underestimate it.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51You'll find actual affairs. Have you investigated?

0:10:51 > 0:10:54- When Parliament rises, I'll... - Be forensic.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57Instinct tells me that somewhere in your accounts is a road map

0:10:57 > 0:10:58to his revenge. You must look...

0:10:58 > 0:10:59Please, this is...!

0:11:01 > 0:11:05It's too much. I won't take orders from you, Regina.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09Please.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11Please trust me.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13He's moving faster than I suspected.

0:11:19 > 0:11:24Grandmother, I've made a list of readings for the service.

0:11:24 > 0:11:25The funeral is days away.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28Reverend Curtis wants to dot the Is.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31I was thinking perhaps Matthew 11.28.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33Come to me, all you who...

0:11:33 > 0:11:34It's hardly your place.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40I'll leave the list on your bureau.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Grandmother, it's all right to be upset.

0:11:45 > 0:11:46Or angry.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49Or whatever you need to be.

0:11:52 > 0:11:53This is where Douglas proposed.

0:11:55 > 0:11:56The very spot.

0:11:59 > 0:12:00He made you so happy.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07LAUGHTER

0:12:07 > 0:12:09Goodness me.

0:12:09 > 0:12:10APPLAUSE

0:12:12 > 0:12:14It's a beautiful work, Mr Gibbs.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16When did you find time to do the sitting?

0:12:16 > 0:12:18I did it when you weren't looking, Mrs Goddard.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20And that wasn't very easy.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23UKULELE PLAYS

0:12:28 > 0:12:30LAUGHTER

0:12:33 > 0:12:35I knew something was up.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Oh, my darling, you're wonderful.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42# Oh, we're goin' to a hukilau

0:12:42 > 0:12:46# Huki-huki-huki-huki-huki-hukilau

0:12:46 > 0:12:49# Everybody loves the hukilau

0:12:49 > 0:12:53# Where the laulau is the kaukau at the l'au

0:12:53 > 0:12:57# Oh, we throw our nets out into the sea

0:12:57 > 0:13:00# And all the 'ama'ama come a-swimmin' to me

0:13:00 > 0:13:03# Oh, we're goin' to the hukilau

0:13:03 > 0:13:07# Huki-huki-huki-huki-hukilau. #

0:13:07 > 0:13:09APPLAUSE

0:13:15 > 0:13:16Grandmother.

0:13:18 > 0:13:19Not the Matthew.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24And no roses in the church.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44It's odd, though, isn't it?

0:13:44 > 0:13:47He always had roses in the hospital.

0:13:47 > 0:13:51It's the arrangement that matters, not the individual blooms.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54Poor James and Miss Olivia,

0:13:54 > 0:13:56having to drop everything and come home.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59It's Mrs Goddard I feel for.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02Having to wait. Five days is too long.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05My dear Mr Collins was blessed and buried

0:14:05 > 0:14:0736 hours from his final breath.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19Right.

0:14:23 > 0:14:24George...

0:14:28 > 0:14:30What on earth's the matter?

0:14:33 > 0:14:34It's Regina, isn't it?

0:14:36 > 0:14:37What has she done?

0:14:41 > 0:14:44The two bad years we had, the strike.

0:14:45 > 0:14:49Richard steered me towards some solicitors' loans to tide us over.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54She warned me to be more forensic.

0:14:58 > 0:15:03The accountants have just discovered that the firms that issued

0:15:03 > 0:15:05those loans are all...

0:15:07 > 0:15:08..owned by one shelf company.

0:15:10 > 0:15:11Richard's.

0:15:15 > 0:15:16He can call them in.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22He can take Ash Park any time he wants.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26And she's convinced he's poised to make a move on us sooner

0:15:26 > 0:15:28- rather than later.- How can you be sure she's not part of this?

0:15:28 > 0:15:29I can't.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31But given what she did for Anna,

0:15:31 > 0:15:33given that her information is correct...

0:15:33 > 0:15:35This is Regina we're talking about.

0:15:35 > 0:15:36I know!

0:15:36 > 0:15:38And all that she's done, I know!

0:15:40 > 0:15:43I almost dropped my guard in Canberra

0:15:43 > 0:15:44and suffered the consequences.

0:15:45 > 0:15:49I'd have to be very certain about Regina to allow for that again.

0:15:49 > 0:15:54On the other hand, if I'd listened to her, that day at the car...

0:15:55 > 0:15:57..we'd be way ahead on this.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03You know how I feel.

0:16:05 > 0:16:09What if I proceed to judge her in good faith?

0:16:09 > 0:16:10And you...

0:16:11 > 0:16:13You be the voice of caution in my ear.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:16:27 > 0:16:29KNOCK ON DOOR

0:16:29 > 0:16:30Bad news, I'm afraid.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32A message from Olivia.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35She says they stopped in Darwin to refuel and have been delayed by

0:16:35 > 0:16:38weather. They won't be able to make Douglas's funeral.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43But it's a comfort, isn't it, that they'll be here later?

0:16:47 > 0:16:48We'd better get going.

0:16:52 > 0:16:53Mother?

0:16:56 > 0:17:00Simpering, pitying looks.

0:17:03 > 0:17:04It's too much. I can't face it.

0:17:06 > 0:17:10What are you saying? You can't not go.

0:17:16 > 0:17:20Don't do something in the heat of the moment you'll later regret.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Mother, what is it?

0:17:28 > 0:17:29Please tell me.

0:17:35 > 0:17:39Well, no-one will force you to go if you don't want to.

0:19:00 > 0:19:01Almighty God...

0:19:03 > 0:19:06You judge us with infinite mercy and justice,

0:19:06 > 0:19:10and love everything you have made.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12In your mercy,

0:19:12 > 0:19:15turn the darkness of death into the dawn of new life.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33Ashes to ashes,

0:19:33 > 0:19:35dust to dust.

0:19:37 > 0:19:41In sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life

0:19:41 > 0:19:44through our Lord Jesus Christ,

0:19:44 > 0:19:46who will transform our frail bodies.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50God of Mercy...

0:19:51 > 0:19:53..we acknowledge we are all sinners.

0:19:55 > 0:19:56Forgive us

0:19:56 > 0:19:58for that is past

0:19:58 > 0:20:02and help us live each day in the light of Christ our Lord.

0:20:04 > 0:20:08- Lord have mercy. - ALL: Lord have mercy.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11May God our Father forgive us our sins

0:20:11 > 0:20:15and bring us into the joy of his eternal kingdom,

0:20:15 > 0:20:19where dust and ashes have no dominion.

0:20:19 > 0:20:20ALL: Amen.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24MOURNFUL MUSIC

0:21:03 > 0:21:05Just think, a couple of days ago

0:21:05 > 0:21:08we were all here having a high old time.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10Yes, indeed, indeed.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Are you going to finish that?

0:21:13 > 0:21:14Funerals put me off my tucker.

0:21:16 > 0:21:20Tell them what you were saying before.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22It's interesting.

0:21:22 > 0:21:23Where I come from,

0:21:23 > 0:21:26we refrain from using the Christian name of the person

0:21:26 > 0:21:31who's passed on. Or we don't look at pictures of them.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33- Is that right?- Yeah.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35Because of respect.

0:21:35 > 0:21:36It allows the spirit to pass on.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40We call them Kumantjay.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42Kumantjay Goddard.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47The things you learn.

0:21:54 > 0:21:58I thought you'd be hanging off the front gate waiting for James.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01Is it wrong to be excited at a funeral?

0:22:02 > 0:22:06- I expect so. - You're a horrible man, Henry Fox,

0:22:06 > 0:22:08but I don't think Douglas would mind.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12He wanted everyone to be happy, didn't he?

0:22:12 > 0:22:16Even if he didn't quite understand, he never judged.

0:22:20 > 0:22:21James is coming home.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38The men will be going down to the station soon.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41You wouldn't like to say goodbye?

0:22:43 > 0:22:46I'd like to be quiet for a little while.

0:22:46 > 0:22:47Thank you.

0:22:47 > 0:22:48All right.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59Goodbye, my love.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08- Thank you for coming. - Thank you so much.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10- It was lovely.- You have a safe trip home. Thank you.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12Thank you.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16At least Mother made it through the service.

0:23:16 > 0:23:19I wonder, should we bring her out to say goodbye to the men?

0:23:19 > 0:23:21Carolyn's with her. She'll be...

0:23:21 > 0:23:24The car! It's them. James and Olivia.

0:23:25 > 0:23:26They're home.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29- Shall we?- Yeah, come on.

0:23:41 > 0:23:42Oh, my goodness.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46It is so wonderful to see you all.

0:23:49 > 0:23:50Elizabeth.

0:23:52 > 0:23:54I'm so terribly sorry.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56It's wonderful to have you back, my dear.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58- Grammy, it's me!- It is, my darling.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03- Olivia.- Let's get you inside.

0:24:07 > 0:24:08Livi, darling.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13Where is James?

0:24:13 > 0:24:15Livi, what's going on?

0:24:15 > 0:24:16What's happened?

0:24:16 > 0:24:18Let's talk inside.

0:24:23 > 0:24:26It's best if I speak with the family first.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30Just tell me he's all right.

0:24:31 > 0:24:32He is.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34It's better this way.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40I have rounds to do at the hospital.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43I'll come and find you as soon as I can.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53Moved, permanently.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55- The Riviera?! - He wouldn't, not without telling us.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57Please, let me finish.

0:24:57 > 0:24:58This will not stand.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00He's abandoning his child.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03I beg you, George, everyone, let me start at the beginning.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07We arrived in England,

0:25:07 > 0:25:12playing roles that would quash any questions once we divorced.

0:25:12 > 0:25:15Despite the subterfuge, we enjoyed ourselves.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18Which is why the trip to see my brother in Cap Ferrat

0:25:18 > 0:25:20seemed a good idea.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23James could hardly come home without visiting William.

0:25:23 > 0:25:29But when we got to the Riviera, it's as if it was destined to be.

0:25:29 > 0:25:30As if what was destined to be?

0:25:33 > 0:25:35His feelings for William.

0:25:35 > 0:25:36It's a flight of fancy.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39- That's what he's caught up in. - It's much more than that, George.

0:25:39 > 0:25:43His kind, they're thought of differently there.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45And what that meant to him,

0:25:45 > 0:25:50dining with Somerset Maugham and Noel Coward,

0:25:50 > 0:25:52Edward and Wallis Simpson,

0:25:52 > 0:25:54to feel so accepted.

0:25:54 > 0:25:57You mean to tell me that James has deserted his family,

0:25:57 > 0:26:01his son? For a bunch of gin-soaked celebrities?

0:26:01 > 0:26:02George.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05He's staying for love.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07He couldn't tell us this himself?

0:26:07 > 0:26:10Being here would have only made it harder for...everyone.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12Harder for himself.

0:26:12 > 0:26:13He's not here because he's a damned coward.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16- You don't mean that. - The hell I don't.

0:26:16 > 0:26:19He thought this way would be easier for you.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22Your health.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24And what of Ash Park?

0:26:24 > 0:26:27His life here? His responsibilities?

0:26:27 > 0:26:30If you saw how contented he is...

0:26:30 > 0:26:33William has a very successful design company.

0:26:33 > 0:26:35James is helping him on the business side.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37James?! Business?!

0:26:46 > 0:26:49He thought you would want to telephone.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52Did he?

0:26:52 > 0:26:53It's the middle of the night there.

0:26:56 > 0:26:57Excuse me.

0:27:04 > 0:27:08- George.- This is not the behaviour of the man that I raised him to be.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10- I've a mind to cut off his allowance.- Your mother!

0:27:12 > 0:27:13Don't speak to him in anger.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20The accommodations I made. And this is how he repays me.

0:27:20 > 0:27:24You know that loving children isn't a quid pro quo transaction.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26You've been a good father to him, as you are to David.

0:27:26 > 0:27:29And when he abandons me for some bloody kibbutz in Israel?!

0:27:32 > 0:27:35It's merely a matter of time before he deserts me too.

0:27:38 > 0:27:39It's the natural way of things.

0:27:40 > 0:27:43All boys separate themselves at some point.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53International number, please.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56France. Nice.

0:27:56 > 0:28:00045471.

0:28:01 > 0:28:02But they return in time.

0:28:04 > 0:28:05With understanding.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14James, wake up!

0:28:14 > 0:28:16It's your father.

0:28:16 > 0:28:17It will not do, James.

0:28:17 > 0:28:19It will not do at all.

0:28:19 > 0:28:21I simply will not stand for it.

0:28:21 > 0:28:22And you know full bloody well

0:28:22 > 0:28:25that we can't have a proper discussion on an open line.

0:28:25 > 0:28:28Father, I realise that you're angry,

0:28:28 > 0:28:30that this comes as a shock to you.

0:28:30 > 0:28:32To have poor Olivia do your dirty work?

0:28:32 > 0:28:36Left here to try to justify this appalling lack of character.

0:28:36 > 0:28:39That is enough! I do not expect you to support my decision,

0:28:39 > 0:28:41but you will respect it is mine to make.

0:28:41 > 0:28:43No, not when you push the entire family aside.

0:28:43 > 0:28:46Don't think I haven't thought about this long and hard, because I have.

0:28:46 > 0:28:48If you could see my life here...

0:28:54 > 0:28:56When you see my life here...

0:28:57 > 0:28:59..you will understand.

0:28:59 > 0:29:00I know it.

0:29:00 > 0:29:04These fast friends of yours, this life you're living,

0:29:04 > 0:29:06it's a passing fancy, James.

0:29:06 > 0:29:09- Nothing more.- You're wrong. There is a future here.

0:29:09 > 0:29:10Happiness.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14Shouldn't a father want what's best for his son?

0:29:14 > 0:29:18And what of Georgie, James? Your son?

0:29:18 > 0:29:20What's best for him?

0:29:20 > 0:29:22He will be loved no matter where he is, by Olivia,

0:29:22 > 0:29:24and all of you when he is there,

0:29:24 > 0:29:26and by me when he is old enough to travel.

0:29:26 > 0:29:27You'd bring a child into that?

0:29:27 > 0:29:29What, to a house filled with joy and laughter?

0:29:29 > 0:29:31Who wouldn't want to grow up like that?

0:29:31 > 0:29:33You were given every advantage.

0:29:33 > 0:29:35Most of which you've frittered away.

0:29:35 > 0:29:36And I am not ungrateful.

0:29:36 > 0:29:40But that house, that life, it suffocates.

0:29:40 > 0:29:42I know you understand that.

0:29:45 > 0:29:47I hope in time you find a way to forgive me.

0:29:49 > 0:29:50To understand.

0:29:57 > 0:29:58I miss you all terribly.

0:30:03 > 0:30:04So, there's...

0:30:05 > 0:30:08..there's nothing I can say to change your mind?

0:30:09 > 0:30:11I'm afraid not.

0:30:13 > 0:30:14Very well.

0:30:17 > 0:30:18Goodbye.

0:30:24 > 0:30:26HE WHIMPERS

0:30:45 > 0:30:49Apologetic, but unrepentant.

0:30:49 > 0:30:52Wait until I get my hands on his skinny neck.

0:30:53 > 0:30:54For what it's worth...

0:30:55 > 0:30:57..I am sorry.

0:30:59 > 0:31:01Olivia...

0:31:02 > 0:31:05You know that you are always welcome here.

0:31:05 > 0:31:08You and little Georgie.

0:31:08 > 0:31:10Thank you.

0:31:10 > 0:31:13It would be a grave mistake for you to stay here.

0:31:15 > 0:31:17Mother!

0:31:17 > 0:31:20I say, "Bravo, James. Bravo."

0:31:22 > 0:31:25At last, someone in this family has had the courage

0:31:25 > 0:31:27to embrace their happiness.

0:31:27 > 0:31:28What are you saying?

0:31:30 > 0:31:31Look at us.

0:31:33 > 0:31:36Look at what obligation and duty have done to our lives.

0:31:39 > 0:31:44How I wish I'd walked out of those gates when I was James's age.

0:31:44 > 0:31:46How different my life could have been.

0:31:49 > 0:31:51How much more time I would have had.

0:31:59 > 0:32:03Curious indeed that she arrived without her husband.

0:32:03 > 0:32:05It's none of our beeswax, is it?

0:32:05 > 0:32:08One trusts there's not a more European reason.

0:32:08 > 0:32:10We can give you a lift home if you'd like.

0:32:10 > 0:32:12No, thanks, I'm parked round the bend.

0:32:12 > 0:32:13SHE GROANS

0:32:13 > 0:32:15Are you all right, Dawnie?

0:32:15 > 0:32:17Mm. It's just a cramp.

0:32:17 > 0:32:19She's been off her tucker too.

0:32:19 > 0:32:21Oh, I see.

0:32:23 > 0:32:24You see what?

0:32:24 > 0:32:26It's too many figs.

0:32:26 > 0:32:28The tree out the back's filthy with them.

0:32:28 > 0:32:29Mm.

0:32:29 > 0:32:31Very perilous fruit, the fig.

0:32:40 > 0:32:44He's the eldest son, and it means nothing to him?

0:32:44 > 0:32:46It's been a long day.

0:32:47 > 0:32:49How about we take David down to the

0:32:49 > 0:32:52- river bank while there's still some sun?- I've been a fool.

0:32:52 > 0:32:54I've been a blind fool.

0:32:54 > 0:32:56You couldn't have foreseen this.

0:32:56 > 0:32:57I shouldn't have let James go,

0:32:57 > 0:32:59and I shouldn't have let Richard into our lives.

0:32:59 > 0:33:01We can't change the past.

0:33:01 > 0:33:04But we can look forward.

0:33:04 > 0:33:07Yes, we can look forward.

0:33:09 > 0:33:11Why not let him have it?

0:33:15 > 0:33:18Richard, why not let him have Ash Park?

0:33:18 > 0:33:20SHE SCOFFS

0:33:20 > 0:33:23Why am I fighting for something that no-one else wants?

0:33:23 > 0:33:25James may well reconsider.

0:33:25 > 0:33:26Mother's right.

0:33:28 > 0:33:30Why shouldn't we all be free to pursue happiness?

0:33:34 > 0:33:36MURMURING

0:33:45 > 0:33:46It's a terrible blow.

0:33:48 > 0:33:50I gave up a life for him.

0:33:51 > 0:33:52A career.

0:33:53 > 0:33:54Friends.

0:33:57 > 0:33:58For him.

0:34:00 > 0:34:02I hope he rots in the stinking Riviera.

0:34:06 > 0:34:07Finish the letter.

0:34:09 > 0:34:11I'm not even worth a telephone call.

0:34:22 > 0:34:23Henry.

0:34:31 > 0:34:32Oh, Henry.

0:34:37 > 0:34:38I wrote to him every day.

0:34:41 > 0:34:42Every day.

0:34:46 > 0:34:47He was with someone else.

0:34:51 > 0:34:52William was...

0:34:54 > 0:34:55..a great love.

0:34:59 > 0:35:00I suppose...

0:35:02 > 0:35:03..I've come to see that...

0:35:04 > 0:35:06..there is love...

0:35:08 > 0:35:09..and then there is great love.

0:35:11 > 0:35:13Like Elizabeth and Douglas.

0:35:16 > 0:35:17Why not James and I?

0:35:24 > 0:35:25Nor he and I.

0:36:47 > 0:36:51Yes, yes, Mr Fox may well think that's how the rosters should be,

0:36:51 > 0:36:53but that doesn't make it any of his business.

0:36:56 > 0:36:57I've got to go.

0:37:19 > 0:37:22- I need to talk to you.- If it's about rosters then you can...

0:37:24 > 0:37:27Who asked you to order toxicology on Douglas Goddard?

0:37:27 > 0:37:29Who asked you to open my mail?

0:37:41 > 0:37:43Was it you?

0:37:43 > 0:37:45- You were close to Douglas. - You know my feelings on that.

0:37:45 > 0:37:47Someone wasn't so reticent.

0:37:47 > 0:37:49You were the one promoting a comfortable death.

0:37:49 > 0:37:51Which is why I wanted the report.

0:37:51 > 0:37:53I told you that. Insurance.

0:37:53 > 0:37:55We had no cause to think that's what's happened.

0:38:02 > 0:38:05You and I both know that Douglas died too suddenly.

0:38:05 > 0:38:08We have a responsibility to find out what happened.

0:38:08 > 0:38:11What, you want to start an inquisition?

0:38:11 > 0:38:14They're a grieving family. My grieving family.

0:38:16 > 0:38:18I've been blackmailed once before.

0:38:18 > 0:38:20By a member of your family.

0:38:21 > 0:38:23Regina, a long time ago.

0:38:27 > 0:38:31Any number of people had access to Douglas before he died.

0:38:31 > 0:38:33Friends, men from the refuge...

0:38:33 > 0:38:34Your family.

0:38:34 > 0:38:36Anyone could have given him the phenobarbital.

0:38:41 > 0:38:42I'll look into it.

0:38:45 > 0:38:46Look fast.

0:39:01 > 0:39:02Sarah.

0:39:04 > 0:39:06Regina, what are you doing here?

0:39:06 > 0:39:07If the mountain won't come to Mohammed...

0:39:07 > 0:39:09If you'll excuse me.

0:39:09 > 0:39:10I won't keep you long.

0:39:10 > 0:39:13I hoped that you might have returned from Canberra

0:39:13 > 0:39:17more open to accepting me once you read my letter.

0:39:17 > 0:39:19I didn't bother. I tore it up.

0:39:20 > 0:39:21It was important.

0:39:23 > 0:39:26I do wish you'd told me that you promised David was safe.

0:39:26 > 0:39:28What else is there to say?

0:39:29 > 0:39:32I accept that you have George's confidence, but mine...

0:39:32 > 0:39:35It's not relevant. Let's just leave it at that.

0:39:37 > 0:39:39I was hoping that once you understood

0:39:39 > 0:39:40what happened with Rene...

0:39:44 > 0:39:46Rene?

0:39:46 > 0:39:48I know what he meant to you.

0:39:48 > 0:39:50Your marriage, your shared faith.

0:39:52 > 0:39:55It wasn't Rene who pulled the trigger. It was me.

0:40:10 > 0:40:12It wasn't Rene.

0:40:13 > 0:40:16And I didn't do it with any malevolence or intent.

0:40:18 > 0:40:21I came across them arguing, George and Rene.

0:40:21 > 0:40:23Rene was very agitated.

0:40:23 > 0:40:25Put the gun down!

0:40:26 > 0:40:28I tried to take the gun.

0:40:28 > 0:40:31There was a scuffle. And in the confusion, it went off.

0:40:31 > 0:40:33GUNSHOT

0:40:38 > 0:40:40I never believed Rene shot George.

0:40:42 > 0:40:45Believing and knowing are two very different things.

0:40:45 > 0:40:47That's why the letter was so important.

0:40:50 > 0:40:52I'm serious about making amends.

0:40:55 > 0:40:57This is my way of proving it to you.

0:41:24 > 0:41:26We going to talk about this any time soon?

0:41:31 > 0:41:33You're in the family way, aren't you?

0:41:37 > 0:41:40Doris ain't the only one that can put two and two together.

0:41:41 > 0:41:43Don't be angry.

0:41:43 > 0:41:45I didn't know how to tell you.

0:41:48 > 0:41:52I know how you feel about more little ones.

0:41:52 > 0:41:56And with Emma off our hands in a few years...

0:41:57 > 0:42:00Now I'm closer to Douglas Goddard's age than yours.

0:42:01 > 0:42:03Who knows how long a man's got?

0:42:06 > 0:42:10Well, rather a short time with you..

0:42:12 > 0:42:13..and our bub,

0:42:13 > 0:42:15than a long time with neither.

0:42:22 > 0:42:23Maybe a little bundle of joy

0:42:23 > 0:42:26is just what the doctor ordered right about now, eh?

0:42:29 > 0:42:32It's half shock,

0:42:32 > 0:42:34half blessing, isn't it?

0:42:35 > 0:42:37No, it's all blessing, Dawnie.

0:42:39 > 0:42:40It's all blessing.

0:42:42 > 0:42:44And you think it was me?

0:42:44 > 0:42:46I have to ask.

0:42:46 > 0:42:48- Do you?- If there was to be a proper investigation...

0:42:50 > 0:42:52Whoever did it deserves a medal.

0:42:53 > 0:42:56Look, I don't want this getting out of hand.

0:42:56 > 0:42:58Henry's ready to bring in the police,

0:42:58 > 0:43:00which actually is his duty.

0:43:00 > 0:43:02If that's everything...

0:43:02 > 0:43:04Caro!

0:43:04 > 0:43:06Don't you dare mention this to Mother.

0:43:17 > 0:43:18They weren't happy faces.

0:43:22 > 0:43:23Did you check?

0:43:24 > 0:43:27Oh, ah, yes, everyone who signed out phenobarbital.

0:43:27 > 0:43:29Nothing out of the ordinary.

0:43:34 > 0:43:36You saw Douglas before you went to Canberra.

0:43:36 > 0:43:38That's right.

0:43:38 > 0:43:39Anything I should know?

0:43:41 > 0:43:43I have to ask. Someone did.

0:43:47 > 0:43:50Perhaps a man from the refuge worked at the party.

0:43:51 > 0:43:53You know what we're doing, don't you?

0:43:55 > 0:43:57Avoiding the obvious.

0:44:08 > 0:44:12We were escaping from some action against the Germans.

0:44:12 > 0:44:14And there was a field we had to cross.

0:44:16 > 0:44:18Two shots sounded and she fell.

0:44:21 > 0:44:23Her name...

0:44:25 > 0:44:26Her name was Ness.

0:44:28 > 0:44:30Her resistance name Simone.

0:44:32 > 0:44:34She was a good friend.

0:44:35 > 0:44:36A good fighter.

0:44:40 > 0:44:42I couldn't move her.

0:44:44 > 0:44:47And she couldn't bear the idea of what the Nazis would do to her

0:44:47 > 0:44:49if she were captured, so...

0:44:51 > 0:44:52She begged me.

0:44:57 > 0:44:59To look into the eyes of...

0:45:01 > 0:45:03..someone you care for so much...

0:45:05 > 0:45:07..and be asked to take their life.

0:45:09 > 0:45:11What did you do?

0:45:13 > 0:45:14I did it.

0:45:16 > 0:45:17How could I not?

0:45:19 > 0:45:21MOURNFUL MUSIC

0:45:47 > 0:45:49I helped Douglas.

0:45:53 > 0:45:57May God forgive me enough to allow us to meet again in the afterlife.

0:45:59 > 0:46:02You have to tell the truth about that afternoon.

0:46:04 > 0:46:08Well, I can't. There's too much turmoil in this house.

0:46:08 > 0:46:09- I can't.- At least tell Henry.

0:46:10 > 0:46:14His respect for you will be the only thing that stops him from calling

0:46:14 > 0:46:15in the police. Because if he does,

0:46:15 > 0:46:20the strength of your beliefs may make you immune from inquiry,

0:46:20 > 0:46:22but not the men of the refuge.

0:46:29 > 0:46:31It was Douglas' choice.

0:46:32 > 0:46:36And I will not have any of the men from the refuge crucified for it.

0:46:37 > 0:46:41One of them clearly loved Douglas enough to help him.

0:46:41 > 0:46:43You knew he had the means?

0:46:45 > 0:46:46Not until the end.

0:46:48 > 0:46:50Was it his doing alone?

0:46:53 > 0:46:55It was

0:46:55 > 0:46:56Douglas' choice.

0:47:00 > 0:47:02I see no need to take it further.

0:47:05 > 0:47:08So now we're just to pretend that nothing untoward has happened.

0:47:23 > 0:47:26I'll see to it that my friend destroys the carbon.

0:47:27 > 0:47:28Thank you, Henry.

0:47:30 > 0:47:31I'm very grateful.

0:47:33 > 0:47:35Now, if you'll excuse me, I...

0:47:35 > 0:47:36SHE SNIFFLES

0:47:36 > 0:47:38..have some preparations to make.

0:47:45 > 0:47:47Take off.

0:47:51 > 0:47:54It's comforting, isn't it? The resilience of children.

0:47:56 > 0:47:58What have you told Georgie?

0:48:00 > 0:48:04That Grandpa Douglas has gone to visit the angels.

0:48:05 > 0:48:06And Daddy...

0:48:08 > 0:48:10..is on holidays with a school friend.

0:48:12 > 0:48:13Is that wrong of me?

0:48:13 > 0:48:16Oh, where's the harm in protecting them from unhappiness?

0:48:17 > 0:48:20Darling, Mother's about to leave.

0:48:20 > 0:48:22Oh, she didn't say.

0:48:22 > 0:48:23She's asking to see you.

0:48:26 > 0:48:27Will you keep your eye on him?

0:48:27 > 0:48:29- Yes, of course.- Thank you.

0:48:32 > 0:48:35Oh! How did we go?

0:48:35 > 0:48:36Did we take off everywhere?

0:48:38 > 0:48:40Surely this isn't all you're taking.

0:48:40 > 0:48:42I'll pack up some things tomorrow and send them on.

0:48:42 > 0:48:44I'm taking all that I need.

0:48:44 > 0:48:46How much does one need for a visit to the city anyway?

0:48:46 > 0:48:48Haven't you heard? It's not a visit.

0:48:48 > 0:48:53I've decided that some things, some memories, are best left behind.

0:48:53 > 0:48:56I'm not yet strong enough to return to our home.

0:48:56 > 0:48:58Prudence has offered hers.

0:48:58 > 0:49:00She's away, so it'll be perfect.

0:49:00 > 0:49:04And Anna will stay with her for as long as Mother needs.

0:49:04 > 0:49:07- You will come back and see us soon? - Or we can come to you.

0:49:08 > 0:49:11I am so very grateful for your understanding.

0:49:18 > 0:49:21Perhaps I could travel with you, Mother, help you get settled.

0:49:21 > 0:49:23You have fussed quite enough.

0:49:24 > 0:49:26And I've appreciated it.

0:49:54 > 0:49:56Grandpa Douglas.

0:50:11 > 0:50:12Thank you

0:50:12 > 0:50:15for the most wonderful day.

0:50:15 > 0:50:17It was too much for you.

0:50:17 > 0:50:19I shouldn't have done it.

0:50:21 > 0:50:22After our wedding day...

0:50:24 > 0:50:26..this has been the happiest day of my life.

0:50:27 > 0:50:29And to see the men.

0:50:29 > 0:50:32Oh, my God, Lizzie, you have no idea what that meant to me.

0:50:32 > 0:50:34And to them.

0:50:34 > 0:50:35HE SIGHS

0:50:38 > 0:50:40- What is it?- Light me a...

0:50:41 > 0:50:43Here, let me help you.

0:50:43 > 0:50:45- No.- It's all right.

0:50:45 > 0:50:46Leave me.

0:50:53 > 0:50:54You know, Lizzie...

0:50:56 > 0:50:58..we've come to that sweet...

0:50:59 > 0:51:00..and perfect day.

0:51:03 > 0:51:04The most perfect day...

0:51:06 > 0:51:07..for me to take my leave.

0:51:09 > 0:51:10Don't you think?

0:51:12 > 0:51:14What's in that bottle?

0:51:15 > 0:51:17But I can only go with your blessing.

0:51:17 > 0:51:20RASPING BREATHS

0:51:20 > 0:51:22Not yet.

0:51:24 > 0:51:25Not now.

0:51:28 > 0:51:33I'm being selfish, I know, but we have more time.

0:51:35 > 0:51:38You're the first real happiness in my life.

0:51:40 > 0:51:41And you for me.

0:51:44 > 0:51:46But my poor old body's done for.

0:51:48 > 0:51:50I can't manage any more.

0:52:01 > 0:52:02GROANING

0:52:02 > 0:52:04Can't you see it's hopeless?

0:52:07 > 0:52:08Give it to me.

0:52:08 > 0:52:11No, no, I can't have you involved.

0:52:11 > 0:52:12Before I change my mind.

0:52:12 > 0:52:14But, but your fingerprints.

0:52:15 > 0:52:17I'll get rid of it.

0:52:21 > 0:52:24Oh, Lizzie.

0:52:25 > 0:52:26I love you

0:52:26 > 0:52:28so much.

0:52:28 > 0:52:31Please, let's kiss now.

0:52:46 > 0:52:48You know what I'd like to hear?

0:52:50 > 0:52:51Chopin.

0:52:52 > 0:52:54Tristesse. It's on the table.

0:53:28 > 0:53:31MUSIC: Tristesse by Chopin

0:53:36 > 0:53:37Don't mind me if I...

0:53:39 > 0:53:41..doze off.

0:53:41 > 0:53:43Wish I was coming with you.

0:53:43 > 0:53:46RASPING BREATHS

0:53:46 > 0:53:48I'll be waiting for you when you do.

0:53:57 > 0:53:58Goodbye...

0:54:00 > 0:54:01..my love.

0:54:04 > 0:54:05Oh, Douglas.

0:54:07 > 0:54:08Douglas.

0:54:14 > 0:54:16HE GROANS

0:54:23 > 0:54:24My darling.

0:54:39 > 0:54:42MUSIC CONTINUES
