Is the baby mine?

Yes.

Does Rene know?

Yes.

But we decided to
raise it as our own.

So, we cart the water
over here, and then

we water each one of them,
by hand, every day?

One day, we'll get irrigation.

But what about
everything else, Gino?

When.. when do we find time to
do all the rest of the work?

Eh!

Everything will be good.

It'll all work out.

I have to say, I was shocked,
when you printed my last piece.

Specially as I didn't write a
single word you asked me to.

You going back to Ash Park,
or you staying in town?

I'm in the city, I have
an apartment here.

How convenient.

It's Reggie's funeral on Friday

Just gonna be me and
a few of the men.

Would you mind...

I'd like to be there.

Ah, that's gonna be wonderful.

This, whatever this
is, it has to stop.

Did you sleep with my wife?

That's probably the one thing,
I haven't done with her.

- Aarrgh!
- How could you.

After everything we did.

You told me I was enough.

So this is it, then?

Is this our arrangement?

Is James here?

No, what happened?

If he contacts you, let me know.

James.

You said, if I ever needed a friend.

I've spent the past twenty years,
raising someone else's child.

But I...

I could never stand
back and watch

someone else play
father to mine.

And I've done my best, to
respect your marriage.

This baby changes everything.

Rene.

I told you to stay away.

SARAH!

Let go!

Sarah!

George!

GEORGE!

GEORGE!!

Come on you, dreamer.
Up you get.

No time for lazing about, son.

There's work to be done!

Good morning.

Could someone organise
some flowers, next to

my father's photograph
for my mother's arrival.

It's the anniversary
of his death, today.

Of course.

I've given some thought to what you
said, concerning the christening.

Now, I can have a word to
Reverend Green, if you like.

No, please.

You were right,
James will return.

Regina.

I'm just here, to give
Olivia my christening gift.

A silver spoon.

Are you going somewhere?
Sydney.

Is it about James?
Have you heard anything?

I'm having lunch
with Sir Richard.

Be careful with Dickie, George.
He bites.

I'm aware of that,
but thank you.

Rose.

Oh, good morning Mrs. Standish.

Aren't you a busy little thing,

polishing all the silver.
- For the christening.

Is Master James returning
today, or tomorrow?

We couldn't be certain, Ma'am.

I have an urgent message
I need delivered to him.

Do you know where he's staying?

You must have some idea?

Surely Mrs. Bligh is
in regular contact

with her husband via telephone.

Well, you see, Mrs. Standish,
there was an argument.

Between Mr. James
and Miss Olivia.

Miss Olivia was very upset.

And Mr. James set off for
Sydney, straight after.

They say, he is at his
father's club, but...

But what?

But he's not been answering
Mr. Bligh's messages.

Perhaps he's staying with a friend?
I wouldn't know.

I seem to recall, James and the
surgeon, Mr. Fox were very friendly.

Mr. Fox lives in Sydney.

Yes he does, such
a handsome man.

Well, don't let me
keep you, child.

Will that silverware
polish itself?

To the left.

To the right.

Good.

And no cramps or
discomfort at all?

No.

How's Rene?

Actually he'd eh...

.. like to know, when
you're coming in to visit.

He's been quite clear.

I've reduced the
sedation over the week.

He's still on a small dose.

Maybe in another day or so.

Or this afternoon,
if you're up to it.

Is something the matter?

Come in, we'll talk about it.

Please, just tell me straight.

Well, someone is glad to
see you up and about.

How you going, Doc?
Good.

I was just saying to Sarah,
Rene is keen to see her.

Well, I got to go into town
this morning for some supplies,

You could come in with
me, if you'd like.

Well, I might see
you later then.

'Course, if you'd rather
not, that's alright too.

Here he is.

The sooner he shakes them up
in Parliament, the better.

I thought I might build a cradle,
for when that baby comes.

It'll all work out alright,
you know that, don't you?

If you're worried at first, Rene
can take the lean-to for a while.

There's no need for that.

Well, if you want me to come in with
you today, you just say the word.

Ah, should we sit?
Just tell me.

Tell me.

You are my wife and
you are afraid of me.

Not of you.

Of why I am...
not...

.. in control.

Of design faults.

I'm going to have the operation.

I've been speaking
to Patrick Kelly

over the last couple of days.

- I see.
- Yes.

There's new research in the city.
Yes.

He's offered to hold a space
on his surgical list.

You both know the
prognosis of surgery?

Kelly and I see it the same way.

And how do you see it, Rene?

The shrapnel...

.. it is removed
in surgery and...

.. more damage, neurological.

Or I die on the table.

Or I make a complete recovery.

This is the one I want.

I'm a fighter, we both are.

But the risks are too great.

I can't allow you, to
have the operation.

It is MY decision Sarah.
No it's not.

Eh, Sarah..
Jack!

Legally, Rene would not be
deemed to be of sound mind.

He'd be unable to sign
the consent forms,

You know that as well as I do.

Is it true?

As your wife, Rene, only
I can sign the consent.

And I won't do it.

You are afraid of me!

I am afraid of me.

When the baby comes, how
can I be a father!?

I must never be alone with him.

Sarah,

I could sign it.

As Rene's doctor.

This is my decision
to make, not yours.

I won't sign it.

- Sarah.
- It's too risky.

I cannot take this.

In two years time, even
in one years time,

who knows, how much the
surgery will improve!

Let's just wait and see!

Sarah...

I will NOT sign his
death warrant!

And neither will you!!

Something was wrong
between her and Paolo.

She couldn't put
her finger on it.

Charmaine had had a...

..when she arrived back,
after the long train journey,

he'd forgotten to meet
her at the station...

..farmhouse felt cold and sad.

Paolo seemed even more distant...

.. she felt as though
she was being punished

for something but what
had she done wrong?

Anna, come on!!

Coming!

You know...

... if there was an easy way to
get these baby vines watered!

And Bella, don't forget,
after you finished that,

the patch at the back
needs to be tilled yeah?

And fertiliser on the
beans, on my list.

Eh, so is boxing the tomatoes.

Boxing tomatoes,
boxing tomatoes.

Boxing potatoes,
boxing potatoes.

That's my joke of the day.

- Ah, I gotta go to work at Carlo's.
- Again?!

Yeah, I promised.

You're too kind Gino,
this is every day now.

You ride the horse every day.

A thorough-breed has to be
ridden every day, you know that.

Isn't that, what they're
paid for at Ash Park, the eh...

.. stable-hands?

I could drive you to Carlo's.

No, I'm gonna walk, just..

.. clear my head.

- SYDNEY -

You what?!

I have given this a
great deal of thought.

Don't think I've made
this decision lightly.

I don't give a damn, how
you made the decision.

It's wrong.

You got pre-selection signed.

Now, why would you
pull the bear?

My priorities have changed.

George...

George, I like you.

You and I know that
all this talk about

Australia, being a
classless society, is a

load of lefty propaganda.

Men like you, could be
the conduit between

the classes. Hell, you
play your cards right,

you could be
Prime-Minister one day.

- Not anymore.
- Why?

My reasons are personal.

There's no personal,
in public life.

Does this have anything to
do with a married Jewess?

You won't have a
political future, if

you tie yourself to
baggies like that.

As I've said, I no longer
want a political future.

It is about the Jew.

My reasons are my own.

I ask you to respect that.

I've already started talking
to people, about you.

Your withdrawal will be a
personal embarrassment.

Then I apoligise for
that, sincerely.

Bligh can head the bloody bill!

Get your wooly head out
of that blasted book!

I didn't bring you here to read.

Yes, father.

Look, you see that
fellow over there?

That's Sid Gregory.

Played sixty tests,
for Australia.

And Rogers over there, won the
Victoria Cross, in the Boer War.

If you want to make your mark,

you need to pull up
your boot straps.

Face the world.

Be a man.

Mr. Goddard.

Mrs. Bligh.
- Ah, Mr. Goddard.

I heard so much about you.

All favourable, I hope?

Mr. Goddard, my
daughter Carolyn.

Thank you Carolyn, I
meet you at the car.

Well, I hope to see you again.

You're leaving ?

Returning to Ash Park.

My great-grandson's christening.

Oh, a happy occasion.

When will you be back ?

I'm undecided.

Just wanted to thank you
for coming .???...

These are unnecessary,
but thank you.

Well, it meant a lot to the men.

Become quite special to them.

And to me.

They're just flowers.
I must be going.

Mrs. Bligh...

.. when you come back...

.. let's continue
this conversation?

Come in.

Mrs. Standish.
Mr. Fox.

I hope, I'm not disturbing the
great surgeon at his work?

Ah, just writing some reports
for the Medical Board.

I welcome the disturbance,
please come in.

It's nice to see you again.

I'm staying with friends
in town, and it struck me.

I never thanked you properly,
for saving dear George's life.

I know, a man loves his cigars.

Monte Cristo?

Well, I was simply doing,
what I'm paid to do.

Gifts like this are
really not necessary.

Not necessary, but so
nice to be appreciated.

Thank you.

I'll be sure to enjoy them
with a glass of Courvoisier.

Before I leave you
to your accounting,

I have a small favour to ask.

I was hoping, you might
pass this on to James.

- James..?
- Bligh.

Why would I be
seeing James Bligh?

James is in Sydney,
he might also wish to...

.. express his gratitude.

And if he does, I ask
that you give him this.

Good-day Mr. Fox.

Mrs. Standish.

I've been trying to find you.

I was hoping we might talk.

After all you've been
through in your life,

you deserve for things
to be easier now.

Now that you're going
to be a mother.

You deserve to feel safe.

So you can give your baby
all the love you have.

And you will be a
wonderful mum.

I know that.

One, who'll probably going
back to work, knowing you.

Never mind, what anyone thinks.
We'll see.

But your child...

.. our child...

.. deserves a secure,

loving, stable family life.

And we can do that, Sarah.

We can raise our child together.

We can learn to love
each other again.

Please, George.

I'm not saying, that we
don't look after Rene.

He'll have the very
best of medical care.

He'll still be part of your life.

I could never do that.

This is our chance
for happiness.

You can do that.
I'm married to Rene.

I've just withdrawn
from pre-selection.

Our private lives
will be our own.

You should never
have done that.

This is what is important now!

It has to be!
Our child.

We have to give our child
the future it deserves.

A future that we plan together.
George, stop!

How can you love Rene.
He's not the man he was!

You've no right to
speak to me like this.

About who Rene was.

We have nothing left to say.

Welcome back, Mrs. Bligh.

- Thank you, ehm...
- Rose.

Right, Rose.

Would you mind, putting
these in a vase.

And on the piano, with
something under the vase.

I'll be off.

I'm going to visit the hospital.

Say hello to Jack, for me.

Try not to cause
too much trouble.

Elizabeth.

- It's been so long.
- Olivia.

And how is our little fellow?

I've so missed his smiles.

- Georgie is sleeping.
- Ah.

He's not still keeping you
awake at night, is he?

No, no, he's much improved.

Now, I saw the other maids cleaning
out the groundsman's quarters.

I'm assuming, the
artist fellow has left.

I'd very much like
to see the portrait.

Ah, we had to ask him to leave.

The portrait was thoroughly
unsuitable, I'm afraid.

Oh.

Oh well, I can’t
say I’m surprised.

He is a friend of
Carolyn’s and her

taste does tend toward
the avant-garde.

- Oh, yes.
- Where's James?

He's in Sydney.

And when is he due back?

Today or tomorrow.

- Well, let's hope it's today.
- Yeah.

You might as well stay.

Might as well?

Now, you gotta come back for
the christening, anyway.

Such a romantic proposition,
how can I say no?

You know I'd love to, Jack, but I
have a meeting with Sir Richard.

- What's that look?
- No look.

I'm trying to convince him, to profile
some of the new ..... artists.

Well, if anyone can convince
him of that, you can.

Am I devious, common and wild?

Well, not so devious.

Oh, are you saying I'm tactless
and gauche, Dr. Duncan?

You are a thoroughly modern
woman Carolyn, but...

Sir Richard is an
old-fashioned bloke.

Sir Richard is a pussycat.
I can handle him.

But I promise, I
will be careful,

if you promise, not
to be jealous.

- Jealous?
- Hmm.

Of his money, power
and influence?

Besides, I got something
he doesn't have.

Excuse me, Mr. Bligh.
Mr. Briggs is here and asking to see you.

Don't mean to be a
bother, Mr. Bligh.

If it's not a good time.
Course not, Roy.

Come in.

I take it, by the look on your
face, you don't want one?

Don't go, putting words
in my mouth, Mr. Bligh.

I see you're back from
the big smoke, so...

.. I thought now is be as good
a time as any, to catch you up.

Cheers.

I done just as you asked and spoken
to most of the farmers here abouts

and I can guarantee
you their support.

Specially when it comes
to that rotten coal mine.

Roy, I appreciate everything
you've done for me, I do.

But I've decided, not
to run after all.

Come again?

I've withdrawn my candidacy.

But, you're a dead-cert Mr. Bligh.

There are no guarantees in life.

People round here are
counting on you.

Well, they just have to
count on somebody else.

When you spoke, you've got
everyone all excited for change.

I'm sure, the party will find a far
better representative, than me.

Who, there's none better.
Perhaps you could run.

I thought the Blighs
were men of their word.

Don't make me ashamed
of you, George.

I've paid the lady
for her services.

Don't insult her, or me.

I don't want to, father.

First time at anything,
is the hardest.

I can't.
You can and you will.

Goddammit, you're a Bligh.

Now do you duty.

George.
George!!

George.

- Mother.
- Hello George.

How are you today?

Well, thank you.

Today will always be
a day of reflection.

Yes, indeed.

Can I organise someone, to
take you to father's grave?

No, I can make my own
way, George, thank you.

Why is James not here?

He and Olivia had an argument.

Now, I didn't pry and I
trust you won't either.

I should tell you, I've
withdrawn from pre-selection.

Please mother, spare
me the lecture,

to queen and country.

George, what possible reason..?

Has this to do with Sarah?

Why on earth would it?

Mrs. Nordmann's concerned
with her sick husband.

Probably will be, for
the rest of her life.

Not what it looks like.

Is this the new farmhand?

I'm going to keep
Stardust here, so that I

don't have to keep going
back to Ash Park.

You were right, it'll
save me an hour a day.

Anna, you're not
thinking like a farmer.

Well, forgive me, but
that's probably because

I haven't been doing
it for very long.

Where you going?

Put her in the shed.

The shed's full of hay.

Well, then we'll
have to move it.

She stays in the
paddock, with a blanket.

Gino, I'm trying to
solve our problems

by finding more
hours in the day.

And you brought
the problem here.

Why are you being like this?

It's a horse for a mansion,
not a farmer's horse.

Well, you didn't marry a farmer.

You married me, and
I'm doing my best.

Don't you remember
what you said to me?

You said that you don't want
me to be like your mamma.

Not, tied to the kitchen
sink in an apron,

working my fingers to the bone,

but somehow I think, that
is exactly what you want.

No, I don't.

When the hay is sold, I
put her in the shed.

It's getting cold at night.

My dear James.
Reggie.

You received my message.

Please, sit.

I want you to know,

that no matter what choices
you've made in your life,

I will never stop
supporting you.

Having never been blessed
with children of my own,

my dear sister wanted me,
to think of you as a son.

And I do.

Well, that's exactly
what I said to him.

No, I want you to talk to
him, make him see some sense.

- What are you doing here?
- We have a meeting scheduled.

Sorry, but I'm too busy to
talk about art, right now.

Trying to sort out this
brouhaha, your brother's made.

George?
What's he done?

Ah, nothing for you
to worry about.

I'm dealing with it.

Well, when you've
"dealt" with it,

perhaps you'll take the
time, to read my proposal.

I haven't got the time,
to read anything!

Not even my own newspaper.

So, when will you?

I'd like to discuss
my ideas with you.

We have to find time outside office
hours, to talk about your ideas then.

Perhaps tonight, I could
drop by your place

I make a mean Martini.

- Perhaps.
- Bennett.

Of course I know. Who
do you think told him?

He broke the news to
me, that day at the club.

He didn't give me
a reason, did he?

Well, not one..
with a pinch of salt.

We had an argument.

We both said some things.

I HAD to leave.

Is there anything I can do?
No, thank you, Reggie.

But...

.. Olivia and I ...

Our relationship is complicated.

I know, what it's
like to be judged,

for not conforming
to convention.

You deserve true happiness.

That's why I can't return
to Ash Park, Reggie.

You must.

You must.

For your wife and child.

You can live any
life you choose,

but that doesn't mean, you can
forsake your responsibilities.

You sound just like
a friend of mine.

It takes courage, James.

And even a courageous man
needs a shoulder, to lean on.

Let me be that shoulder?

Get out!

I said get out !

That is disgusting.

You're disgusting !

Hit me back !

I said hit me !

BE A MAN !

Hit me, George.
COME ON !!

Elizabeth.

I heard, your husband
is in hospital again.

I'm so sorry, I thought, I'd come
and see how you're bearing up.

I'm sure, Rene believes
he'll practice again.

Go back to being a surgeon?

I imagine, he was
a very good one.

A brilliant.

No matter how dreadful the
conditions of surgery,

he just improvised
his way through it.

People were in awe of him.

- A remarkable man.
- He was.

And surely, he can be again.

Not without this operation
Elizabeth, which could kill him.

Or cure him.

Is it selfish of me, to
deny him this opportunity?

No, my dear.

All I know is, that you
will have given this

a great deal of serious thought.

You've been so strong,
through all of this.

I'm tired.

Tired of being strong.

By my experience,

sometimes, the strongest
thing one can do,

is to know, when to
relinquish control.

Easier said than done.

Especially, when it involves
the destiny, of those we love.

A scarf.

Now, she probably has
children of her own.

You are a fighter, my love.

Everything is chance.

What were the chances, we
would survive the war?

Find each other again?

You've made your decision.

And I will honour it.

I'm sorry, lad.

Roy.

He must have been
thrown from his horse.

Father?
Father?!

I'm sorry.

Please, father.

FATHER !!

Now that, is the
perfect Martini.

Almost makes up for your
earlier rudeness, hmm.

Another one?

For a Knight-Commander
you’re incorrigible.

I've been called a lot worse.

Mostly from my adoring wife.

Well, we mustn't drink too much.

This is a business meeting.
Here's to business.

I want to write about what
is happening in Sydney, now.

Not ten years ago.

It's been a real
invigoration with the arts,

with all the new
migrants coming in.

Well, wogs and balts?

Also known as "European
Immigrants", Sir Richard.

Oh, enough of the "Sir Richard".
Call me Dickie.

Excuse me.

Jack, what are you doing here?

Why, I came to town,
to brief a surgeon.

Thought I spend the night.

Not a good time ?
NO, come on in.

What's he doing here?

It's a business meeting.
Ah.

So, this is the business meeting,
you were telling me about?

NO, not exactly.

Just give me half an
hour, to get rid of him.

No, no, no, you take
all the time you need.

- Jack.
- You...

You promised to be careful.

And you promised,
not to be jealous.

Ah, so there's something going on,
I should be jealous of, is it?

- NO.
- Great!

Jack !

Jack !

Why not.

Father, was not the men,
that he pretended to be.

All that talk of manliness...

.. was a bloody charade.

A lie.

George, what are
you talking about?

The day he died,

I saw him in the stables.

He wasn't alone.

He was with another man.

I hoped, you'd never find out.

You knew?

Ah, I'm so sorry.

You of all people have
nothing to apologise for.

He killed himself,
because of me.

I confronted him.

I said he was disgusting.

Your father fell from his horse.

It was an accident.

It wasn't an accident!

George, your father's death
had nothing to do with you.

Oh, I can't believe,
you carried this

burden, all these years.

It had everything to do,
with his own demons.

He was a man, who
loathed himself.

I was never good enough for him.

I was never manly enough.

I was a failure, in his eye.

George, that's not true.

Your father loved you very much.

He was so hard on you,
because HE was the weak one.

You're not him, George.

George, none of this is
your fault, none of it.

I made the decision, years ago,

that none of this
would be spoken.

And I was wrong.

Can you forgive me?

So many secrets.

Hush.

No more.

Oh hey.

NO, not until you done,
what you came here to do.

I didn't come here, to read
some proposals, sweetheart.

Fine, we will discuss it
like grown-ups, then.

Didn't come here, to
talk about art either.

I couldn't give two
hoots about bloody art.

Ah, well, then this
meeting is over.

You're a beautiful
woman, Carolyn.

Aaaw, don't be a bore.

Aha, ha, ha, who are
you calling a bore?

Ah, I think I've
had enough gin.

Aha, ha, ha, I think you've
had enough too, Dickie.

I like a forceful woman.

Believe it, or not,
sycophants make me sick.

I don't want you, to
pretend you're my equal.

Well, I am your equal.

That's a girl...

Sir Richard, please.

Actually, you're all woman.
You're driving me crazy.

I want you to leave.

Well, don't pretend this
isn't exactly what you want.

You've been playing games
with me for weeks.

Come on, gimme a kiss.

- No, no.
- Aw!

You're a real
firecracker, aren't you?

Let me go !

Aah, I said NO !

No one says no to me !

I must have slept in,
why didn't you wake me?

You want some breakfast?

The vines, they're not
growing like they should.

Gino, what do you mean?

They should look healthier,
there was a frost this morning.

Frost?
Frost can kill the baby vines.

We should have planted earlier.

Every day Bella, I
look in that corner

and think, that's where
the winery will go.

Darling, it will, just..
it'll take some time.

I better put an extra
blanket on Stardust.

She might get a chill.
Oh, forget the horse !

Get dressed and help me.
Gino?!

I know the vines are our future.
That horse is just a pet.

You were wrong about me.

I'm going to be the
man you never were.

Coming.

This is a surprise.

May I come in?
Course.

Hospital is buzzing
with the news.

Rene Nordmann going to Sydney.

That's right.

What the hell's that?
I'm sorry.

About last night,
that was my fault.

I was a bloody idiot.

Hate it, when we fight.

I'm sorry, for what I said.

Dr. Duncan,

I'll leave, you get back to work.

Morning.

Good morning.

Thank you for the invitation.
Please.

Morning swim, followed by
breakfast at the Australia Club.

I might have to join.

Well, you need a member,
to nominate you.

I'm afraid, they only allow
the best of the best.

I expect, that rules
me out, then?

I think, you'll be in with a..
..sporting chance.

So, what are you gonna do?

Haven't decided.

Well, you know what I
think, for what it's worth?

I agree with your
fabulous aunt Reggie.

And not just because she
wormed her way into

my heart, with a box of
Monte Cristo cigars.

Henry.

Thank you, for being
such a good sport.

Letting me ramble on about my own
problems, these last couple of days.

I feel like I can talk to you,

like I can't talk
to anyone else.

Well, talk is cheap, James.

Actions matter.

Oh hello there, I expect
you'd like to take my order?

Roy is out front.
He'll take you to the station.

Ah, Mrs. Nordmann.
Doris.

Your health and the
health of your baby

is just as important as
that of your husband's.

Does anyone tell you, what a
wonderful job you do here?

beef prices are likely to rise.

The Country Party has announced,
that Mr. George Bligh

will stand for pre-selection
for the upcoming

That's good to hear from
the horse's mouth, George.

We'll talk soon.

Crisis averted.

Now it's time for you,
to get your skates on.

Well, you wanna
marry him, or not?

I give you the best man, to represent
the Country Party for Inverness.
