- You remember Harry.
- Hello, James.

There's just one little thing
I need you to do for me.

Could you teach me Italian?
I could pay you.

I trust Gino appreciated our gesture.

He's taught me a few words already.

And Gino having female company.

Gino's certainly no philanderer.

You, however, are a bitch.

Give me a kiss.

And he's made me feel... cheap

and disgusting and... unworthy.

Hey.

Let's set a date.

Husband and wife.

Yes.

Mr. Menzies and Dame Pattie
are in Sydney next week.

Let's invite them down for dinner.

"Vote for the man who had
the PM at his table."

We have them?

Thankfully, it's all come together.

Oh, George!

Oh, your success is my success.

She may well have secured
George's election

with this dinner.

Let's go back tomorrow, then.

Timing, my darling.

Timing is everything.

James isn't Georgie's father.

- But you said...
- I didn't give birth to him.

I did do it for love.

I'm not... angry.

What do you want?

Your return to Ash Park.

You'll come?

For James, for Georgie.

It gives me
leverage in silencing her.

Please... just between us.

Thanks for this.

It helps to know.

She gave me the goods on you.

Don't go feeding these kids
your crazy Commie propaganda.

Now, listen here, Sergeant...

No one goes missing without a reason.

If you're asking if I
killed Bert Ford, no.

- Why would I stay with you?
- Please!

- Shut up! Just shut up!
- Please, Bert! Please! Please!

Bert!

Colin, what have you done?

Bert Ford.

A statement made

in the House of
Representatives in Canberra

by Prime Minister Robert Menzies

gave first details of a
Soviet spy ring in Australia.

Vladimir Petrov, an official
of the Russian Embassy

whose home is in Canberra
had told the full story.

At Kingsford Smith Airport in Sydney,

crowds gathered to watch
Petrov's wife leave for Russia.

Australian security officers
keep careful check,

for disturbances are likely.

Two couriers sent from
Moscow, both of them armed,

and an Embassy official hustle Mrs.
Petrov to the plane.

Make it two?

Please.

Every time I close my eyes, I see
Bert Ford's body popping up.

Well, it's unlikely, given
how we weighed him down.

Well, we've got nothing
to worry about, then.

Unless they question Eve.

Where's she now?

Redfern, last time she wrote.

Maybe we should talk to
her before the cops do.

I'll go this weekend.

I'll drive you.

We're in this together.

Thanks, Roy.

Uh, a moment, Mr. Briggs.

You'll need a ride home.

I hope you'll understand.

I don't have much choice, I'm afraid.

"We don't want her stuffing
their heads full of rubbish"?

It was about 10 of the parents.
I'm sorry.

It's because you got Mr.
Poletti to come here.

To talk about Italy?

I was trying to broaden their horizons.

They prefer someone who'll
stick to the three R's.

Fine. If that's what they want.

It's only until the new teacher starts.

But the... the trouble
is, it's not only them.

Reverend Green.

Oh.

I was asked a direct
question about being Jewish.

I answered frankly.

Reverend Green says you
talked about converting.

I said conversion is possible...

And that the Jews didn't kill Jesus.

Crucifixion was a Roman execution.

The Jews favored stoning.

I don't know any of that.

All I know is...

I appreciate the help,

but Reverend Green's offered
his wife to come, so...

I'm sorry if I've made things awkward.

That's okay.

Tread careful.

I know you mean no harm.

There are some saying different.

Sergeant Taylor?

Just... some.

What's up?

Let's go to Sydney.

I can go back on roster if you need me,

but there's something I'd like to do.

No. Go.

What's the bet Sergeant Taylor
isn't stirring things up?

I know.

Doctor, a moment.

I hear alarming rumors...

Mrs. Nordmann banished for sacrilege.

I cannot believe it.

Then don't be spreading it.

As the possible target of
innuendo myself, I sympathize.

The word "Red" was being used.

How's about helping me calm things down?

Come on.

Mm.

Be it ever so garish...

Ash Park is always home if
you're not comfortable here.

Oh, thank you, George.

I may avail myself of that.

Tea, I think.

- Father?
- Uh, no.

I should catch up with Regina

before she returns to prepare
for the prime minister.

You let me know how your meeting goes.

I can return if you wish.

Oh, James is dropping by while
Anna's at her publisher's.

I shall be well attended.

As you should be.

George, um, a request?

Of course.

Regina is privy to
enough family business.

It's not required that
she know about Georgie.

I agree.

Oh, good.

Despite everything, she has
proven her worth, hasn't she?

The prime minister is a coup.

But I will keep an eye on her.

You are familiar with the
expression about dogs and fleas.

If you see me scratching,
you, uh, you let me know.

Congratulations, Mama!

Does Anna know?

I want to see her face when I tell her.

And Mother's.

You're going up?

Later today.

Five weeks isn't much time.

We're keeping it simple.

Just close locals and
a few Sydney friends.

- And not at Ash Park.
- Oh, really?

That way, Regina doesn't
have to be invited.

Bravissimo, Mama. So where will it be?

Here, if you agree.

A simple, rustic affair.

- Of course. We'd love to, Mama!
- Thank you!

One thing before I go.

Rose.

Rose?

At the risk of spoiling the mood...

Have you been seeing her?

I'm suggesting nothing.

She brought over some food.

I'm teaching her Italian.

- That's all?
- Yes.

I think Regina's encouraging it.

She's implied you're having an affair.

No.

Puttana.

Rose is an innocent party, I think.

She's fooled me if she's not.

Defuse it by telling Anna.

Then there'll be no misunderstanding.

Should I say anything to Rose?

Not yet.

Feel free to tackle madam, though.

- Ooh-ooh!
- Doris.

I come...

...seeking signatures.

Hmm?

Oh, good morning, ma'am.
We've missed you.

Look!

Look who it is, Georgie! It's Rose!

Oh, he has grown.

You have, haven't you?

Would you mind?

Oh.

Uh-oh.

Exactly.

I'll get him all changed
and sweet-smelling

and bring him to you.

Hey.

Georgie.

Yes.

Yes.

Did you speak to Olivia before she left?

We'll deal with matters at Ash Park.

I'm giving her some
time to settle back in.

I was hoping I'd see her.

She's been through a
rather emotional time,

and I imagine she fears
your disapproval.

Oh, dear.

She's unaware of your new view of life.

No more interference.

Another?

Then I must go.

Henry's reaction to this
faux reconciliation?

I assume he's not causing ructions.

He's not like that.

I thought as much.

We have had a disagreement, but
on another matter entirely.

Which you'll resolve?

I trust so.

Embracing happiness has its problems.

All change does.

Now...

...is it wrong of me to think
of voting against your father

at the election?

He'd have no need for
a politician's wife

if he fails to enter politics.

They're just married.

As much an expediency
as yours and Olivia's.

I will sigh with relief
the day they part.

Do you think he'd divorce her?

George Bligh? Yes.

The Honourable George Bligh, MP?
Probably not.

So I repeat... Should I vote for him?

The day you vote for Labor, the
world will tilt on its axis.

As it did the day they married.

Here's trouble.

Will I run her off the road?

She'll keep.

You know I love you.

Show me.

I don't want to just be pretending.

I love you, James.

I know you do.

All spick and span.

Georgie's been crying a lot lately.

I don't want him
disturbing the household.

Put my things in the cottage.

I love you.

47... 45.

She's down there somewhere.

Bugger.

And what's transpired in my absence?

Miss Olivia's back. She's
moved into the cottage.

Oh, has she, now?

And Miss Carolyn's about to head home.

Oh. Olivia in, Carolyn out.

Infinitely preferable.

And Gino?

He likes my visits.

Excellent.

Gather the staff.

The prime minister dines this Wednesday.

I remember Brian Taylor as a little boy.

Many a cat fell foul of his slingshot.

I feared for my Tiddles.

Only you, Doris.

You wanted to see me?

Oh.

Glad you could make it.

Sergeant.

What's the trouble?

No trouble.

I have something for you, Sergeant.

It's easy to get sidetracked
by minority opinions.

What's this for?

It's, uh, expressions of
support for Sister Nordmann.

Just the tip of the iceberg.

Word's got out to people
you're harassing her.

Wonder how that happened.

Small towns.

Lots of anger at her being
turfed out of the school.

Seems I'm in agreement with
a lot of folks on that one.

A few malcontents.

More than a few slaps on the
back at the pub last night.

I don't need my best nurse's
reputation damaged.

There's the town's true feeling.

And more to come.

You Red too?

Or just stupid enough
to let her fool you?

That's how they work, you know.

They get you bleeding hearts on side.

Just decent people banding together.

Decent?

That what they call
abortionists these days?

Well... so much for the soft approach.

Clearly you're the bully
they say you are.

Suspended for beating a
unionist almost to death.

Demoted by being transferred here.

Yeah. I made a few inquiries.

I'll enjoy seeing you charged.

However many slaps you get at the pub...

trust me, there's a hell
of a lot more behind her.

Movement at the station.

Uh, it might be best if I see her alone.

Righto.

Sister Adams?

Sorry. Sister Nordmann.

I forgot.

Don't tell me they're on at you, too.

Sure you don't want a cuppa?
It's no fuss.

I'm all right. Really.

Why has it all come up again now?

I didn't say nothing.

Good.

They went on at me.

Asked me if I thought
you'd done Bert in.

I've run foul of the new local sergeant.

He's out to cause trouble.

What you and Mr. Briggs did for us...

I'd never say a word to harm you.

How is Colin?

His teachers reckon he's got the
makings of a scholarship boy.

That justifies every
choice we made, then.

I told the cops any notion you'd
hurt Bert's a load of bullshine.

Thank you.

Said he'd done a bunk,
and who knows where.

And that's what I'll be sticking to.

Well, as long as everything's
worked out and...

and you're both happy now.

Very.

Well, except... shame on the family.

Terrible it was, but
you reap what you sow.

I'm sorry, Sister, but you do.

Thank you.

You too.

Strife?

We're fine.

What's the matter, then?

It's nothing to do with Bert.

But there's another stop to make.

They did a real job on him.

He was set upon?

Homo bashed in a laneway.

The sort of place his
type do their filth.

Is he expected to recover?

Yeah.

I'll be making alternative arrangements

as soon as possible.

Why? Are you family?

Yes.

It's all right, Harry.

It's Sarah.

Sister Adams.

You're safe now.

I took in a flick last night.

- With whom?
- Alone.

I was trying to brush off my funk.

Well, Audrey Hepburn's
guaranteed to help.

Better than "Beneath
the Twelve-Mile Reef."

Robert Wagner. Rather dishy.

I wish you wouldn't.

The feminine tone.

That's another thing I
disliked yesterday.

Yes, James.

I apologize.

Thank you.

You sure this is wise? Two men together?

It's a matinee. It's less obvious.

Besides, I come prepared.

Ah. More introductions.

Ladies.

James Bligh, Daphne
Morris, Grace Styles.

- Hi.
- Hello.

James was questioning the wisdom
of our date at the movies.

Well, I bags Henry.

James, you're all mine.

We're cheering him up before
he heads back to the country.

Thanks, ducky.

Yes, it could be the story...

Daph and I met at school.

Poor Mummy's still
filling my hope chest.

Hope-less.

You know how to pick 'em, Henry.

So pretty.

What a shame he don't have tits.

Uh, calm, girls.

You said to cheer him up.

Move your bum, Daph.

Thank you.

Two couples together.

Who's to know how we pair off later?

Right, girls?

Abso-bloody-lutely.

The art of survival.

Ah. The boy's getting it.

You'll meet them on any beach

right 'round Australia's
13,000 miles of coastline.

Members of the Australian Surf...

No one can see.

He must study anatomy.

Not the kind seen in snappy costumes.

This kind.

Sir Richard's introduction
was a great help.

Be sure to send him a note of thanks.

It's not a contract.

It's just the terms
that they're offering.

How thrilling.

Oh.

Can you believe they knew about
my run-in with Mr. Cowan?

They will be expecting a work
of considerable fire, then.

What subject do you propose?

It's set in the '30s.

There's a woman, a young woman,

in love with a young
man outside her class.

She falls pregnant and has
to give their baby away

for fear it will cause repercussions...

...with his benefactress.

Have you discussed this
with your mother and papa?

It's a really good story.

That's not the issue, Anna.

A roman à clef inevitably risks
offending or causing pain.

Stories taken from life, they
have a certain air of truth.

And they often do the real-life
people a disservice.

I will try to be fair.

Naturally.

To you especially.

Few of us like a mirror
held up to our actions.

I'll only write it if you all agree.

Well, I have been examining
many of my past actions

and attitudes of late, as you're aware.

Perhaps your novel will
help me to forgive myself.

Grandmother.

Do not shy away from the truth, darling,

but do treat a reformed woman kindly.

They're both great fun.

Ah. He approves.

Yesterday was different.

You know, I find it interesting

that you were more comfortable
with that charade

than you are with a group
of men being themselves.

Well, I'm used to charades.
Lived one my whole life.

Mm. And about to continue doing so.

I support you in
whatever you think best.

What are you doing?

Holding hands at the pictures
has a certain effect.

Ah.

And I only have you till tomorrow.

We wasted all that time with Audrey.

Audrey the peacemaker.

We'd have argued if we'd
come straight back.

I'll miss you.

And I you.

I love you.

Never heard that from a man.

- Olivia's brother?
- We never used the word.

But it's how you felt?

It's how I feel.

In time, perhaps.

Perhaps.

Are you sure you're up to this?

It does feel like a return to
prison, but I will adjust.

There's love enough remaining,
I hope, to make it tolerable.

And it gives time for proper
discussions of Georgie.

And Lloyd?

Lloyd brought my body to life,

and that is what I shall sorely miss.

Oh, thank heavens there is
someone I can speak frankly to.

I'll take that as a compliment.

I'll be coming and going and
only ever a telephone call away.

You don't think I'm doing
wrong in sleeping here?

Whatever makes it tolerable.

To depart on a brighter note,

news of a romantic
nature is forthcoming.

How mysterious.

As soon as the city
contingent is informed.

No.

If you're thinking what I
think you're thinking, yes.

Oh!

Congratulations!

But mum's the word
until Mum's been told.

A charming tableau.

Watch what
you share with her.

I must be going!

Well, don't let me delay you.

I shall return.

As MacArthur said, and
look how that turned out.

George and I are so grateful.

And we will find explanation
for any choice of bed.

Your presence is essential
for my night of triumph.

You've never been tempted
to say it to a man?

You must know.

Of course.

No.

The prime minister's retinue
arrives late afternoon.

George will show him the property,

then drinks and an early dinner,

allowing time for their return journey.

We're rather being squeezed in.

You'll be contacted through
the prime minister's office

with the exact schedule.

I feel very honored.

Anything you need.

I suspect a crowd at the gates.

Make sure it's vetted.

We don't want any left-wing outbursts.

There'll be none of that.

Good.

You're becoming quite indispensable.

And our particular Communist?

Smug as they come.

There'd be fewer behind her
if they knew these facts.

That really is between us.

Best kept in reserve
until your case is made.

All I need is one good witness
or her dropping her guard.

Until then, let's see her gone?

I would certainly breathe easier.

Consider it done.

You've no cause for fear, ma'am.

You are a great comfort.

Yes.

Mr. Poletti, ma'am.

Give us a moment and then show him in.

Nordmann had him at the
school, talking to the kids.

And so with honeyed voice, the
evil mind persuades the mob.

What's Italian for "policeman"?

Carabinieri or polizia.

Saw your name on the list.

You all saved me a lot of trouble.

What does that mean?

Come on.

I told you... not required.

She's part of it.

Anna wants me to thank you both.

For?

Rose looking after me.

Well, you had something
to do with it, no?

If Rose took it upon herself...

Ah. She said you didn't,
but Anna guessed, hmm?

She wants you both to know she
doesn't believe the rumors.

What rumors?

Oh, there are some real
gossipy types around here.

But it doesn't change anything.

We still want Rose to
come over for lessons.

People are saying things about us?

Oh, who cares?

They're all liars anyway.

Anna said to come for dinner
as soon as she's back.

She wants to thank you personally.

No need for you to bother.

Ladies.

Who would say things like that?

How should I know?!

I thought you'd have said by now.

That visit to Sydney. The hospital.

Was that to see the old girl?

Elizabeth?

You thinking of dragging her
in on this Regina business?

I'd prefer not to, but I may.

So it wasn't her, then.

She's out of hospital.

Righto. None of my beeswax.

How are you going with the clearing?

You sure you're up to it on your own?

Why?

Well, you ever thought
about hiring help?

When you're ready to say
who, I'll give 'em a go.

Not that I think it's got anything to do

with that hospital visit.

You find Sir Richard's
company so distasteful

you'd miss my skewering of Regina?

You can tell me all about it.

Well, he's no favorite of mine either,

but I-I don't understand

the exact nature of
your problem with him.

- I've explained many times.
- Yeah. In vague terms.

So you're definitely not coming?

No.

There's something you're not saying.

Mother.

You are the ebullient
bride-to-be on the surface,

but your smile fades too easily,
especially when he's mentioned.

What has he done?

Nothing.

Has he behaved
inappropriately towards you?

He made a clumsy pass. That's all.

Recently?

I slapped his face.

- Hard, I trust.
- Yes.

Good.

Well, I might take issue with
him when I see him tonight.

No.

Please.

Was it...

Was it just a pass?

Yes.

And the slap deterred him?

Yes.

Carolyn, that doesn't make...

Mother, please, just... let it be!

If I find he has hurt you in any way...

oh, a slap would be the
least of his concerns.

What did he do?

What?

Oh, darling.

Oh, you
should have told me.

Oh, darling.

Oh, you poor girl.

Yes!

Yes! Oh.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello, cheeky monkey.

You're my cheeky monkey, aren't you?

How are you feeling about him?

We both love him, and
that's the problem.

Yes.

Are you up to tonight?

Duping the prime minister?

It almost feels like espionage.

It's good to smile.

Smiles help.

James?

I hope to make my way
back into the house.

If you can.

Let me know when the
other rooms are done.

Me, seeing a prime minister.
I can't believe it.

You'll see a lot more in Canberra.

I have some business in town.
I'll pick up those new posters.

That will be all.

And I'll be taking lunch at Anna's.

Anna's home?

Set two extra places for tonight.

Anna and Gino?

You can't be serious.

Perfectly.

We are entertaining the prime minister.

An Italian farmer is hardly appropriate.

I'll ignore that.

I'm... I'm thinking of him.

He can't but feel out of his depth.

He may surprise you.

- George...
- Do it.

Please.

Mrs. Collins.

An exciting day, Mr. Bligh.

Well, Mr. Menzies isn't
arriving for a good few hours.

I wish to secure a prime position.

You're expecting crowds?

The prime minister amongst us?

Indeed. Indeed.

We'll see.

No, Mr. Bligh.

He will see that Inverness is
behind you one hundred percent.

I trust you're right.

I know I am.

- Yep?
- Have you got a moment?

Ah. Good.

I've just had another person telephone

to tell me Sergeant Taylor
questioned them about you.

It seems he's checking in
with anyone on your rounds

- the day that Milly died.
- He'll keep.

I need your help with something else.

Sure.

It won't make us popular with Ash Park.

How did you come across him?

That's unimportant.

It's taken till now for him
to be up to the journey.

And you want him here?

Well, the private room's free.

Yeah, which would lower the chance

- of Ash Park getting wind of it.
- Yes.

He was beaten to within
an inch of his life.

There's no one to care
for him in Sydney.

What about his sisters?

Well, Amy's in service,
and Eve rejects him.

He can recover here without
any stigma attached to him.

I doubt George will thank you.

Elizabeth certainly won't, nor James.

I'm prepared to deal with all that.

Stuck in hospital,
forgotten, head injuries.

It's René, isn't it?

Perhaps.

Forget about Harry for the minute.

Will this help you?

You.

Yes.

Damn the torpedoes, then.

Full speed ahead.

Back to work.

You're a man of the land. I understand.

Thanks.

And sorry again, uh, about tonight.

Not at all.

I wouldn't fit in.

You might surprise yourself.

But I won't insist.

Oh. I'll carry the Poletti
flag for the both of us.

He doesn't give himself enough credit.

Well, put yourself in his shoes.

Dinner with the prime minister?

That's what Regina said.

At least you're coming.

I might, um, pop over early.

She may need help.

It's nice to see you doing
your best with her.

Tonight I will.

Thank you.

Put 'em on.

- Huh?
- Ambulance is coming.

She's done it?

Good riddance, I say.

She's done it.

Keep up the steam inhalations

and do what you can to lift her spirits.

Worry can affect the asthma.

Oh, look, she's mostly
through that stuff.

But some of the kids
have been teasing her.

That wouldn't help. I'll
have a word to Bronwyn.

Thank you.

It's not easy on your own.

I don't know what I would
have done the last week

without Mr. Briggs.

Bringing us home from hospital
and helping with the yard.

Roy?

Oh, that's what he said to call him,

but... I-I can't quite bring
myself to say it yet.

Roy.

Yeah.

He... He's just been a wonder.

Thank you. I-I must get on.

Been splashing out, have you?

It belongs to the hospital.

I don't notice anyone else
getting their own car.

One of the perquisites of my condition.

Got the doc right where you
want him, haven't you?

Sorry. Is there a reason for this?

I had the city blokes check
up on Bert Ford's missus.

Interesting.

Yes?

Says she never trusted you.

Reckoned she wouldn't
put anything past you.

I'd add killing an innocent
young teacher to that one.

I'm sure you would.

You're on a list.

Come near Ash Park today,
you'll be hauled off.

That's good to know.

Thank you so much, Sergeant.

Consider yourself warned.

You haven't got a shred
of evidence against me.

I've got a crazy woman
with an ax to grind,

hell-bent on sabotage.

No crazier than the next person.

Well, none of them got
locked up in the loony bin,

and I'll bet none of them fought
for the Commies in Spain.

So till some better suspect turns up...

and I don't see it... you're it.

If you don't mind, I have work to do.

Ah!

Sergeant Taylor!

You're no doubt here to see the
crowds are not too unruly.

Making sure everything's hunky-dory.

Indeed. Indeed.

I'm sure the numbers will swell.

I'd like you to move along peacefully.

I beg your pardon.

Pack up your stuff.

- I...
- Go on. Get.

Your name is on a list of troublemakers.

What list?

Communist sympathizers.

Me! A pawn of Moscow!

It's not a laughing matter!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
What else did he say?

Uh, "I've got all your
Commie signatures."

His very words. I don't understand.

The petition for Sarah.

He's using it against us.

Where's Mrs. Collins?

Sir?

Doris Collins was here earlier.

Not when I arrived.

I'm sure she'll be back.

Everything's in hand, sir.

It's not too late to go home and change.

When will you get another chance
to meet the prime minister?

No.

Grandmother's got something
delicious planned.

You must be curious.

You can tell me about it later.

Just don't let Regina
get away with anything.

I'll soften her up for Grandmother.

Ciao, bella.

Henry!

Miss Bligh. Mrs. Bligh.

I see I've caught you at a bad time.

My car has arrived, I'm afraid.

I'll make it quick, then. Thank you.

I wish to take my lead from you.

Regarding?

As George's doctor, I
visit him periodically.

James and I are, as you have encouraged.

James is ostensibly back with Olivia.

Oh, what a tangled web we weave.

Therefore, should I excuse myself as Mr.
Bligh's physician?

Oh, the very fact that
you ask impresses me.

Well, your understanding of James and I

makes me keen to do what's right.

For my sake.

And for James'.

Well, George knows nothing of you
other than as his physician.

I shall attempt to sound Olivia out.

James, I'm sure, will enjoy your visits,

so I look forward to
seeing you at Ash Park.

You're returning?

At half past 6:00 tonight. Precisely.

That's very specific.

Oh, it's for a very specific reason.

You're looking forward to it, then?

Oh, you have no idea.
