SARAH: He's a very impressive man.

You make a handsome pair.

We're just two individuals
enjoying each other's company.

Remember... you, me, Georgie, London.

Why don't I go on ahead?

To England?

And by the time we face your family,

I would be much more acceptable.

Georgie should... stay with you.

You certainly know how
to surprise a girl.

To Italy?

Mama and Papa will be over the moon.

We're flying the new
Kangaroo tourist class.

Cairo overnight, Tripoli, and then Rome.

You'll be missed.

REGINA: I'll be in Sydney for
two days at the Australia

(MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYING)

It's a drug that needs vigilance,

but it's pointless him suffering.

REGINA: If you could leave
a parcel at reception

along with additional prescriptions...

I'm afraid I can't do that.

You're a very successful surgeon

with an even more promising future.

Do you ever wonder what
the sound would be like

if it all came crashing down?

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

I'm going to need new clothes soon.

I'll be back. Soon as the baby's born.

This country doesn't
need a mother like her.

Make sure Jack telephones me, please.

As long as you promise not
to race back straightaway.

It's my baby.

As soon as it seems like a Bligh event,

questions will be asked,
and the gossip begins.

I've already reminded George

that I don't want any undue attention.

So please promise me
you'll respect that.

(SCREAM ECHOING)

(DOWN-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS)

JACK: I need you to take some.

No.

No, I won't. You know this, Jack.

That was before we realized
how long the labor...

We have both seen women...

A small dose to ease the pain.

No.

Let's get you on the bed, please.

I'm your doctor.

Now.

Only five centimeters.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

You're being stubborn, Sarah.

I will do this. I will.

Let's see how you go with a
small dose of pethidine.

- No.
- Trilene, then.

You'll have some distance from the pain

but you'll still feel the contractions.

How do you know?

Trilene.

(GRUNTS)

Your labor's progressing, but it's slow.

- (DOOR CLOSES)
- You'll be more comfortable.

I want to feel this. I... Jack.

(EXHALES DEEPLY, GRUNTS)

Okay. If the heart rate
slows, we augment.

(SCREAMS)

(MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS)

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

Mother. Sorry to call you so early.

Yes, she is... since yesterday.

I just thought you should know.

Jack's been with her through the night.

No, there's nothing to be done but wait.

What's that?

Doctor might decide to
augment your contractions.

- Syntocinon.
- I don't want it.

Doctor ordered it on standby.

It can cause hypoxia in babies.

Just given the length of your labor.

- It's too soon.
- Now...

Baby's coming too soon.

(WHIRRING)

(SIGHS) No.

Doctor said we need to
give you some pain relief.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

I would have brought you
in some dinner last night

if I'd only known.

It's gone that well until now.

She's in the best of hands with Dr.
Duncan.

Rest assured.

Mind you, after all
she's been through...

Does it matter much...
three weeks early?

Oh, do you know, some of the
cleverest people in the world

have been born premature.

(SARAH MOANING IN DISTANCE)

Do you know, the ladies say
that once the baby's been born,

the pain of childbirth
is quite forgotten.

Not having been blessed
with children myself,

I'd have to take their word for it.

I hope one day that you'll be
sitting here, just like this,

waiting for your own firstborn
to come into the world.

(MOANING CONTINUES)

By the same token...

she does seem to be
taking a very long time.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(WHIRRING)

Mother.

Oh.

Uh, Douglas is seeing to the car.

Those last few miles into town
really are an absolute disgrace.

I didn't mean you to come
rushing straight down.

Well, such a long labor at
her age does not augur well.

I was going to telephone
again once there was news.

Not with Mildred's big ears.

I was only saying to
Douglas the other day,

I'm sure she listens in half the time.

(SIGHS)

Well, what's the latest
from the hospital?

Jack actually sounded very concerned.

But that was a good few hours ago.

George would want to be here.

No. You can't.

No!

Well, I-I'll talk in code.

You know that's not the issue.

I'll stand here all day if I have to.

(WHIRRING)

I'll just get Doctor.

(WEAKLY) How far am I?

Fully dilated. Won't be long now.

(GROANING)

(DOWN-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYING)

Thank you.

Oh, please, Carolyn. It was months ago.

A promise doesn't expire
until both parties agree.

You are bossier than the matron
I had at the Sydney hospital,

and let me tell you, that
is saying something.

Everyone is different.

I was almost 15 hours with Anna.

Look how she turned out.

Still off biscuits?

Yes.

Knock, knock.

I found these in the motor.

Oh, thank you so much.

I might need a pill after that trip.

She had me driving like
Stirling Moss to get here.

No, I didn't.

You were speeding because I
was winning the argument.

Ha!

You'll be subscribing to
the socialist weekly next.

I already do.

I'll leave you to it.

You promised.

Mind if I telephone the refuge?

No. We need to keep the line free.

Douglas, stay on the telephone
as long as you need.

Hm.

- SARAH: (GROANING)
- Push. Push.

Push.

Stop now!

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

She's not progressing.

Baby's heart rate isn't picking up.

I'm gonna need her in stirrups, please.

- It's better like this, Jack.
- I need you in stirrups now.

(DOWN-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYING)

Push.

- (GROANING)
- Push. Push.

Stop now.

I can't!

- I can't.
- You have to.

It still isn't picking up.

On the next push, I'll help the baby.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

- (SCREAMING)
- Push. Push. Push.

Here we are. Here we are.

Meconium.

SARAH: Meconium. Is she all right?

We need to drain the lungs.

What's happening, Jack?
I can't hear anything.

- JACK: Suction and monitor.
- (BABY SQUEALS)

He's a little battered and bruised.

He?

Is it a boy?

Yes.

(VOICE BREAKING) Is he breathing, Jack?

Is he breathing?

Yes.

- Warm. Keep him warm.
- To the isolette. Now.

Where... Why... Where
are you taking him?

He might just need a little help.

What help? What's wrong?

(WHEEZING)

I see they're holding a
rally, the wharfies.

Campaigning for pensions
for their veterans.

The union?

You might enjoy a rally.

You know how I feel
about the waterfront.

Striking during the war.

See, this is how history gets distorted.

Press blew that story up
out of all proportion.

Jack just telephoned.

Sarah has given birth to a boy.

- Oh, how lovely.
- A boy.

I-Is he...

He said the next 24 hours are critical.

He's having trouble
breathing on his own.

Oh, dear God.

But he said they're doing all they can.

How's Sarah?

It was tough, but she's recovering.

What else did he say?

He's busy.

Did he say anything about
the baby's chances?

No. But he wouldn't.

Then George definitely
needs to be informed.

What did Sarah ask you?

She wasn't anticipating an emergency.

If the baby dies or if
there's something wrong...

Well, you could call him.

No. No, I won't.

- Then I shall.
- You will not!

The minute it is necessary to call,

I will not stand between
you and the telephone.

But until that time, try and
keep your mind on other things.

I'll have some tea sent out.

Don't worry. It'll all work out.

Ooh. You haven't left much for me.

Well done.

Lizzie, sorry.

I-I was trying to distract.

It's not so very long ago she
lost her husband, is it,

so... it makes the event
even more bittersweet.

Douglas, the matter is,
astonishing as it may seem...

the baby is not her late husband's.

Sarah has just given birth
to George's child...

(VOICE BREAKING) ...George's second son.

Good heavens.

I'm sorry.

And if the baby doesn't survive...

she may never have another chance.

Oh, Lizzie.

- Thank you.
- Come on.

Don't worry.

(WHEEZING)

We'll need to see if
he's lost much blood.

I want a hematocrit as soon as possible.

For Sister Nordmann, keep her monitored.

She's had significant blood loss.

When we do ease off on the oxygen,

he tries hard to breathe on his own.

As for you, I'm still not sure
why you're bleeding so much.

I've increased the synto.
That should help.

Tell me what's wrong with him.

Well, he's been pretty battered.

His respiration was depressed.

Is he in distress?

It was a difficult labor.

Why can't I see him?

Well, your blood loss
is more than normal.

I don't want to risk a
hemorrhage moving you.

- I want to see him.
- And you will.

Something's wrong.

Look me in the eye and
tell me nothing's wrong.

He needs to be on oxygen, and
he needs to be monitored.

He needs to be in the isolette.

- Is he deformed in some way?
- No.

No.

I just want you to put me
in the wheelchair now.

Please.

For God's sake, Sarah.

Sarah.

I'm saying to you

what you would say to a
woman in your condition.

Calm down.

And bed rest until
you're told otherwise.

Mother and baby need rest.

There was a...

There was a reason I
wanted to be conscious.

I understood that.

I thought I could do it.

There's no need to be anxious.

- He might die because of me.
- I told you everything we know.

Hey. Hey.

I should have listened to you.
I know. I should have...

Let's... Let's all just
get a few hours' sleep.

Hmm?

Is he gonna live, Jack?

If there is any change, I will wake you.

(DOWN-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYING)

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

I know I promised Sarah,

but George is five hours' drive away.

If something happened, he'd...

Your angina and blood pressure
are all I care about.

Let me telephone George, hmm?

(SIGHS)

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

I predict television
will be up and running

sooner than we think.

But only broadcast in
Sydney and Melbourne.

Well, we'll have to fight
them on that, then, won't be?

We most certainly will.

Actually, Regina has
some very good thoughts

on how we can do that.

Mm. I'd be very interested to hear them.

Hand it back to the Chinese?

I've heard very good arguments
from London about that.

I'm afraid I disagree, Cedric.

Hong Kong must remain a British colony.

All the businessmen fleeing
Communist China...

Honkers gives them a bolt-hole.

Now, those few years I spent in Shanghai

before the revolution...

I'm not saying we can't learn
a bit from the Chinese race.

The Hong Kong Chinese

will run rings around
us in business, Cedric.

- They are simply remarkable.
- (TELEPHONE RINGING)

Thank you, Douglas.

Not at all.

It's very clear.

I appreciate the call.

Thank you again.

Goodbye.

Was that The Age calling back?

The baby's been born.

I have to go to Inverness.

I'll say my goodbyes.

You can't just walk out on your guests.

You really can't.

Help me wind it up then... quickly?

Empty glasses in the capital?

What's the commonwealth coming to?

George, my good man, about these roads.

How did I know he was going to say that?

You really are a dog
with a bone, Cedric.

The truth is, Cedric,

I could talk roads until
the cows come home.

CEDRIC: They'd disappear in
the bulldust holes up my way.

(BOTH LAUGH)

(INSECTS CHIRPING)

Thank you, Rose.

Do tell your man to drive
safely, won't you?

Watch the kangaroos at dusk.

I will.

(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)

Well, two can play at that game.

Pack my suitcases for
Sydney, quick sticks.

Day and cocktail wear, ma'am?

Day, night, the races, the theater...

Pack the lot.

Who knows what the
big-city lights may hold.

Five pounds, seven ounces.

I think they said he just needs
a little help breathing,

like babies do sometimes, I suppose.

- Have you all seen him?
- ROY: Not yet.

And they won't want us hanging
in here for too long, neither.

They're keeping something from me.

They're just keeping
an eye on him, missy.

I've knitted matinee sets in
both colors, just in case.

Now, of course, the pink
ones can go to the fete.

Can you find out why they
won't give him to me, please?

The truth.

Excuse me. All of you... out.

Mrs. Collins, you
should have more sense.

Oh, I'm sure Dr. Duncan wouldn't mind.

You know that's not true.

You get some shut-eye, missy.

See you tomorrow.

Rest.

(INSECTS CHIRPING)

(DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE)

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

Here you are.

Thank you.

A few days' catching up to do.

Making history.

"Purchased hay from Poletti farm.

Men drenched top paddock sheep.

Rain anticipated.

Ram has wind."

You don't think I'm in danger
of being overly poetic?

(SIGHS)

You know, a baby boy might
be a good thing for Georgie.

I mean, a life away from the
burden of running Ash Park.

No matter what happens, I'll
make sure he gets his stipend,

his financial share of things.

But he wouldn't be tied to the property.

Georgie can grow up, and he
can be whatever he wants.

Sometime in the distant future,
I could step away too.

For now, let's just pray
the new baby survives.

(DOWN-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS)

The, uh, solicitor wants to sit
down with us, talk details.

Our agreement about
Georgie, the divorce.

(AIR HISSING, BABY FUSSING)

I managed a peek without being seen.

Oh, the poor little mite.

He looked so helpless.

(SIGHS) It was...

Elizabeth.

What are you doing here?

Did Jack send for you?

- Did he?
- No, no.

I-I was about to leave a
note at the nurses' station.

I-I have no wish to disturb.

I-I wanted to explain
that I'd informed George.

Of what?

What do you know?

What do I know?

Is my baby going to die?

W-What did Jack tell you?

No. Nothing.

Oh.

- (BREATHING HEAVILY)
- (DOOR CLOSES)

You know the visiting hours.

My excuse is I've been up
for 24 hours straight.

Oh, I s...

I simply wanted her to know that
George had been telephoned.

It was not my intention to upset her.

She should be resting.

And so should you.

Do you think the baby will survive?

I can't tell you that.

Let's take you home.

Yeah. Excellent idea.

Listen to this man.

Good night.

(VOICE BREAKING) I should
not have come home down.

Oh.

Whatever happened just now is done.

You're only doing what
you felt you had to do.

Come on. Let's get you home.

SARAH: Elizabeth would only call George

if something was seriously wrong.

- She wanted to explain...
- You're only working

around the clock because
something is seriously wrong.

I'm a nursing sister, Jack.

We're monitoring him closely.

He's sleeping.

Is he going to die?

We just want him breathing on his own.

I don't want any more
visits from Ash Park.

Well, I've put "no
visitors" on the door.

Any more bleeding?

(DOWN-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYING)

(TELEPHONE RINGS)

Bligh residence.

Mrs. Bligh is in Sydney.

I-I can leave a message at
her hotel if you'd like.

One moment, please.

(INSECTS CHIRPING, CLOCK TICKING)

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

(BABY COOING)

(WHEEZING)

Is the oxygen constant?

As soon as there is a
change in lung compliance,

we'll shift to PRN.

That research we read on
oxygen and the retina.

Retina... the blindness.

Those babies were under 31 weeks.

He's a good body weight.
No signs of infection.

It's only been 24 hours...

No blue coloration?

No.

He just seems so...

Hello, little one.

(VOICE BREAKING) Can I...

Yeah.

(AIR HISSES)

Did I cause this, Jack?

He's preterm, remember.

(SPEAKING HEBREW)

Amen.

(DOWN-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS)

I think I'm bleeding.

Right. Come on.

Back to bed. Now.

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(CLOCK CHIMING)

Ah. There you are.

When did you arrive?

How are they both?

Well, I'll let you know
once I've seen them.

I'll come down with you now.
We can talk on the way.

Uh, might be best if you wait
up here until I telephone.

She's very fragile.

And the baby?

As I say, I'll let you know once
I've seen them this morning.

I'm coming down now.

My turf, George. On my terms.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

- Mr. Bligh.
- Roy.

It's good to see you.

How are they treating
you up in Canberra?

- All right?
- Yes, yes.

I've just come down

to, uh, inspect the new
resuscitation unit.

It's very interesting.

Missy told me a while back.

Your secret's safe with me.

There's a sign on her door
that says "no visitors."

We've decided that don't apply to us.

You go ahead, Roy. I'll
wait here for a while.

Best not to let Sarah know I'm here.

At least for the moment.

Well, best of luck, Mr. Bligh.

It'll turn up trumps.

(DOWN-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYING)

Emma done that for you. The
flowers are from Dawnie.

Dr. Jack reckons things have
improved during the night.

I should have known.

What's that?

Oh, everything was going
along so easily... calmly.

Why I thought it would last...

Don't go looking on the dark side.

Why not?

You'll be right as rain.

He's a chip off the old block.

You thought of a name yet?

Ruby.

(CHUCKLES) Ruby?

I was just...

I was just having a conversation
with René in my mind.

How much I hoped it was a girl.

Why is that, missy?

Ash Park Incorporated
would leave us alone.

If he...

If he makes it, he'll be
considered next in line

after James and baby George.

It's the Blighs, missy.

It's not the House of Windsor.

All that family stuff is a
long way down the track.

It's already started.

Well, um, I'd better get going

before Nurse Murgatroyd goes crook.

Sure there's nothing you need?

Just my baby.

And a name.

(DOWN-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS)

ELIZABETH: (CHUCKLES)

"Stitch your worries away,"
my mother used to say.

Can you try to stay within the lines?

I...

I'm still surprised they didn't
teach you this at school.

I preferred to learn how to smoke.

Yesterday... you mentioned Anna's birth.

I never knew anything
about it, of course.

Would you like to?

Tell me.

Well...

we had gone to Singapore, of course.

She was a week late.

I'd had early contractions,
but they stopped.

I read somewhere that
if you walked a lot,

you could bring the baby on.

I've never heard of that.

And if one took a meal
with a lot of chili.

Chili?

The spice?

So I walked all the way to Orchard Road.

It was very steamy, I remember.

You went walking in the heat?

What were you thinking of?

Spicy Chinese food.

You didn't do anything
like that with us?

Only you. (CHUCKLES)

I pointed to any meal that
looked as if it had chili in it,

and it worked.

Oh, my. (CHUCKLES)

My waters broke during the night.

We took a taxi to the
hospital in this morning.

And Anna was born at five
past 6:00 that evening.

Any pain I went through...
evaporated into thin air.

Yes.

When they put her in my arms...

she was the most beautiful
baby that had ever been born.

That's what I said about you.

- Don't say anything to George.
- (LAUGHS)

I'll keep it up my sleeve.

When the time came to give her up...

I placed her in Elaine's arms.

The shawl got tangled in
my bracelet, I remember.

I kissed her on the head, and...
I didn't look back.

(CHUCKLES)

Typical Anna.

I could hear her gurgling
happily as I walked away.

Here we are.

You promised not to come. You promised.

I was worried.

We made an arrangement.

I'm here in an official capacity.

I haven't even held him yet.

Jack says that he's pleased
with his progress overnight.

So he says. So you say.

- How do I know?
- Jack knows.

Jack knows there's something wrong.

I don't think that's the case.

- I'll talk to him if you like.
- Oh, yes.

- In what capacity, George?
- I did not come...

They'll already be gossiping
about why you're here.

We... We made an agreement.

Please.

Why do we make these decisions
only to have you unravel...

I do beg your pardon, Sister.

Mr. Bligh.

Well, I'd better not keep Dr.
Duncan waiting.

I'm here to inspect the
plans for the new wing.

I'm very pleased your
baby has had the benefit

of our new technology.

Sister Nordmann.

Nurse.

(DOWN-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYING)

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Welcome.

You know where everything is.

I had to telephone.

Sorry.

I hope that's a fib...
that you're sorry.

Have you missed me?

My oath I have.

I've missed you so much.

Let's make this last.

Fix yourself a drink.

Tell me everything.

Police prosecutors. Gutless wonders.

No case to answer about Bert
Ford, not without a body.

All that work you've done.

"Circumstantial."

Same as Milly Davis.

What rot.

Three months I've been hitting
my head against a brick wall.

Till I find something
stronger on Nordmann...

It's so terribly frustrating for you.

Right now I'm thinking,

by God, I wish that bastard
had fired the gun.

Should I seek protection
from her, do you think,

next time I'm in Inverness?

Forget anyone else.

You got me.

And what will you do for me, Sergeant?

I've had a few ideas in mind.

(ZIPPER OPENS)

Oh, God. I love you.

I love you so much.

You know I can't.

If I wasn't married, I'd...

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

But I mustn't.

Could that be love?

Hey, lady.

You want a lift?

Livvy.

Livvy.

(ENGINE SHUTS OFF)

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

What's up?

I'm trying to keep it to myself. It's...

It's Lloyd.

Tell me. You let me talk about Henry.

He hasn't written in weeks.

I just accosted the postman.

You haven't received a letter in weeks.

It's not the same thing.

He used to write every second day.

Perhaps it's because I've
been delaying things.

I'm trying so hard to pretend
that everything's all right,

but...

Why do you think you've
been delaying things?

Because your father asked me
to wait until he was settled.

Because when I leave...

my heart will break.

And if you don't go?

It's unthinkable.

Lloyd and I belong together. I...

I just... I don't understand.

You should telephone him.

Or I could just book
my ticket and arrive.

I really do think that might be best.

- Thank you, James. Sorry to...
- No, Livvy.

That's not a very good
idea, just turning up.

It isn't.

I'm just being silly.

Sorry.

I think you're just a little
stressed about your exhibition.

Your last letter said,

"I am counting the days
until you're here."

You can't think that.

Listen!

Listen to me, please.

Once we're together again, we'll...

I... I don't believe that.

Lloyd, I have told you.

It's all decided about Georgie.

I'll be coming on my own! We...

(DOWN-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYING)

Please don't.

(SOBBING)

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

(SCREAMS, SOBS)

I've just had another
peek in the nursery.

Why are you still here?

I wanted to reassure you that this...

this breathing issue
seems to be improving.

It isn't just a breathing issue.

If it's HMD or pulmonary hypoplasia,

25% of premature babies at his
stage die in the first week.

Well, I heard the nurse telling Jack

that he's been breathing on his
own for the past half an hour...

off the ventilator.

What do you need?

For you to go.

Jack's doing his rounds.
He'll be here soon.

Have you thought of a name yet?

No.

And he'll be Nordmann on
the birth certificate.

- That's not why I asked.
- Of course it is.

What you truly care about is
that on paper he's a Bligh.

A bastard Bligh is better than none,

but not in my books, as you well know.

I didn't come here to upset you.

Well, you have.

(SHEEP BLEATING)

I'm trying to do the right thing by her.

But my name should be on
the birth certificate.

Your timing is appalling, George.

I don't want to adopt my
own child after we marry.

If you marry.

Let's not forget, this
was the child that...

that she wanted to abort.

Oh, please.

It would simply put him...

it would put us on a good
footing for the future.

I understand that... that she's worried

that the child would be
labeled illegitimate.

And that is a very real concern.

It would affect him his whole life.

Ostracized on so many levels.

School life, business.

And in some parts of
the Jewish community.

All of that I understand.

Must the child be Jewish?

Apparently yes.

Not that I have a say in that, either.

It's all rather a... a one-way street.

Perhaps we, uh... we
should go our own ways.

W-Why not take this one day at a time?

Regina was right.

I should have stayed in Canberra.

She should not be involved in this.

For all of Regina's
shortcomings, Mother,

her advice over the past couple
of months has been exemplary.

I can't fault her in that.

And her expertise in
policy negotiations,

quite frankly, has been invaluable.

But... But you and Sarah...

Yes.

Yes.

But I've made this bed.

And perhaps I have to lie in it.

(MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS)

I'd like to send a telegram, please.

Flying Officer Gordon Walsh,

Butterworth Military Base, Malaya.

Message reads,

"For unto us a child is born
in a manger in Inverness."

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

(SIGHS)

"For unto us a child is born
in a manger in Inverness."

No. No signatory.

Thank you so much.

(RATTLING)

My shopping. Thank you so very much.

I've also included the name of
a clinic that will help you.

This has to be the last time.

Such a smart little sodomite,
but so little common sense.

The last time is my call, not yours.

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

Oh, Douglas, I-I really
don't feel comfortable

being so far away from the telephone.

If there's any news,
they'll come and get us.

Now, what's this one called, hmm?

- It's a Madame Lombard.
- Mm. Beautiful.

I planted it just before
Carolyn was born.

Oh, dear God.

I would do anything to
have this baby live.

If only it knew the love
that's waiting for it...

Sarah and I'd hoped George.

Well, of course.

But the longer he's near this
woman, the more he seems

in danger of succumbing
to her apparent charms.

Well, if a chap didn't
know what we do...

She charms men. I understand that.

Oh.

I hate to say this, but if
the child doesn't survive,

it will throw the two of
them closer together.

I should go up and telephone Italy.

You've got four hours.

It's the middle of the night.

Stop worrying.

Please.

I wanted to tell you I've
been planning another tour,

starting in Turkey.

Izmir, down to Rhodes,

then Damascus, Petra, Cairo,
the Valley of the Kings.

That sounds wonderful.

Would you come?

Oh.

I know you will think
there's always something,

but... there is something
I need to do...

if I can bring Anna and Gino home.

I was hoping I'd help free you...
Sir Richard and all that.

Oh, you have, Douglas. But I...

I don't want to burden you with
any further family secrets.

Believe me. I don't want to know them.

Yes.

After that, I will come with you.

Yes?

Yes.

(LAUGHING) Yes.

Well, while I'm ahead...

While you're ahead?

Elizabeth Bligh, will you marry me?

Oh.

Oh, what a very surprising man you are.

Now, don't think too hard.

Yes.

Yes, I will.

- Marvelous!
- (LAUGHS)

- (STRING QUARTET PLAYING)
- Ha.

Oh.

Oh!

Mm-hmm.

What would you have done if I'd said no?

You'd never have known they were there.

You have another visitor.

(DOWN-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS)

(BABY COOING)

Oh, Jack.

- (BABY CRIES)
- Don't call him Jack.

Hello. Hello.

Hello, little one.

Oh, it's so good to have you with me.

Oh, I didn't know there
could be so much joy.
