Love Child (2014) s03e08 Episode Script
Season 3, Episode 8
1 subtitle by peritta Whoa! Clutch.
All the way to the floor.
Good.
Very good.
You're such a liar.
Just turn off the engine and get out of the car.
Is it about the clutch? No.
I can't get it all the way to the floor, my legs are too short.
Just turn around.
What are we looking at, Simon? I haven't got all day.
You see that place there? Yeah.
I bought it.
Such a lovely way that you say good night Well, I paid the deposit.
I pick up the keys next week.
# Such a lovely way that you hold me tight # I wish you'd stay all night # Such a lovely way Such a lovely, lovely way to say # You think that I don't feel love # What I feel for you is real love # In others' eyes I see reflected a hurt, scorned, rejected # Love child Different from the rest I've been jotting down a few wedding present ideas for the last couple of weeks.
Anything there you'd like to choose? Bone china dinner service? Yeah, I like that one too.
Expensive.
But we could all chip in.
Do you think Martha would use it? Oh, see, the beauty with the bone china dinner service is that it stays in the cabinet and 'Cause you don't want that broken.
Hi.
I've got exactly the right thing.
You're going to love this.
Polaroid camera.
You just take the photo and you can see it straight away.
Oh! What do you mean you can see it straight away? The photo develops in your hand.
I'll show you.
What, what? Did you just take a photo of yourself? Yeah.
Very self-indulgent.
Can I have a look? It takes a minute.
I don't think that's a wedding present.
Come on, it's cool.
We could get a few for the reception and people could take their own photos.
Do you think people want to do that at a wedding? Yeah, Martha would love it.
See, I think the bone china dinner service is much less gimmicky.
Would Martha use a bone china dinner service? Does that matter? Sorry, mate.
Watch where you're going.
It's for my new baby.
Yeah, I'm going to be a dad.
Oi, Jimmy, I'm going to be a dad.
I don't know if it's going to fit, Chris.
Oh, we'll make it fit.
Billy the kid's got to have his own bed.
Billy.
My dad's name.
It's a great name.
And what if it's a little girl? Well, then you can choose.
Yeah? Hmm.
And Notice of intention to marry.
We have to sign it at least one month out.
I don't know if I want to get married.
Oh, go on.
I'm great, you know who I am.
Annie.
I'll be a minute.
I want you to make some calls.
OK.
All my mates' phones are bugged.
The Defence Minister's staying in a hotel in the city this weekend.
There's some kind of protest against the Defence Minister tomorrow.
In a hotel in the city.
A violent protest? Oh, he said it might get ugly.
Maybe he was talking about you blokes.
He asked Annie to make some calls because his mates' phones are all bugged.
That's all I know.
You should've called me when Tomlinson was there.
Sure.
So you could just happen to show up and arrest him? Yeah, that would've looked great.
Well, where's Tomlinson now? No idea.
Hey, make sure Annie isn't there tomorrow.
How was the cot received? Yeah, good.
We're very happy.
I didn't say it was from you.
Maybe the best for my grandchild.
Has Annie booked in for the birth? She wants to have it at home.
A home birth? Well, the last time she had a baby here, you gave it away and told her it was dead.
I do not give children away.
Any hospital would be better than the living room floor.
She's afraid of hospitals.
Maybe if she stopped having children out of wedlock Hey, I'm working on it.
I'm working on it, OK? Cynthia, your adoption forms? Yes, Matron, I've got them.
I know you've got them.
I want you to sign them and give them to me.
So far, so good.
The stitches are holding.
I've done everything you said - nothing strenuous.
Now, as the baby grows it'll put more pressure on your cervix.
You need to be increasingly careful.
And any more spotting, you call me immediately.
I will.
Has Patrick spoken to you? No.
You? No.
Perhaps he doesn't know as much as you think.
He knows you had a cerclage, which means he knows you're pregnant.
And he knows I did the operation.
Well, it's not really his business.
We are divorced.
I can't imagine him seeing it that way, can you? You never know.
He might have mellowed.
If he finds out I've been treating you with fertility drugs I doubt there'll be anything mellow about it.
A house.
A whole house! He's deceptively romantic, that boy.
Can you stop jiggling? How's that feel? Perfect.
When do I get to see the actual dress? Patience.
I bet it's going to be beautiful.
The mood you're in, you'd say that even if I was making you a hessian sack.
So, what's the house like inside? I haven't seen it yet.
But if it's like the outside, it's simple and lovely.
And there's a room out the back we can use for a nursery when a baby comes.
Have you organised the church? I meant to do that last weekend but the priest at St Sebastian's has left.
You'd better get your skates on.
You and Simon have to meet the priest and discuss your faith and everything.
Do we? Simon is a Catholic, isn't he? Actually, I haven't asked him.
Three Stanton House girls were meant to see me this morning for their check-ups.
There was laundry to be done.
Laundry? Instead of medical checks? Their priorities are my business.
I'll let you know when that changes.
I've signed them, Matron.
Good.
Upstairs, and wash for lunch.
I haven't got any adoption papers.
That's right.
They don't apply to you, dear.
I'm going to keep my baby! Mrs Brewer has a postpartum infection at the episiotomy site.
This also raises the chances of what? Come on, fellas.
A urinary tract infection.
How are you today? Let's take a look down there I had to borrow $15,000 from the bank.
When did houses get that expensive? I bet you're in Martha's good books though.
Did you have any appointments with Stanton House girls scheduled for today? Yeah.
Cancelled.
Me too.
Why? Bowditch, Millar, any other advice? No? OK, then.
Now that I have your attention, the two of you are due in the boardroom.
Why? Who's next? You admitted Mrs McNaughton under a false name.
She's no longer Mrs McNaughton.
They're not married.
Did you, or not? Yes.
Then the two of you performed an operation on her without Dr McNaughton's knowledge or consent.
At the patient's request.
As residents, you have a professional obligation to get the approval of your department.
She didn't want Dr McNaughton to know.
Professor Metcalf was speaking.
Eva couldn't have seen one of the other obstetricians in the city because any one of them would have known that she was That's true.
They would've.
It's a very tight-knit community.
Enough.
Can I just say for the record that at all times Dr Millar acted in the best interest of the patient.
No, you cannot.
What if something had gone wrong? It didn't.
But if it had? It wouldn't be the first time one of your patients had fallen victim to your arrogance, now, would it? The cerclage is a difficult procedure.
You did it perfectly.
I shouldn't have involved you.
I'm sorry.
My mother used to always say, "Worry about the worst that can happen 'cause then it never does.
" She's dead, isn't she? Yeah.
You're suspended without pay.
Professor Metcalf will be conducting a full investigation.
How long will that take? Without pay? I've just borrowed $15,000 from the bank.
Oh! What am I going to tell Martha? Eva came to me, she asked me to treat her.
You could have said no.
She wanted a woman doctor - maybe she knew I'd be more professional.
Oh, that's how you think you've behaved? Yes.
You could've spoken to me like an adult, instead of dragging me in front of the board Have you or have you not .
.
like a petulant little schoolboy.
.
.
been giving Eva fertility treatment? Which drugs? What doses? How often? It doesn't matter, I want all your records and personal case notes.
You're not allowed to see them.
Now that there's an investigation, I can.
Read your contract.
Oh, is that what this is about? Strategy? My ex-wife has been given drugs that could do her harm.
It is my bloody business.
It isn't.
You don't own her.
Is the child mine? Just because you have no respect for professional ethics, don't expect the same from me.
Oh, ethics - that's bloody hilarious coming from you.
You watched a man die and did nothing.
Has that slipped your mind? I have given you every bloody opportunity you've ever had here.
Buried your mistakes, gone out of my way to support you when no-one in this place thought that you were worth a pinch of shit.
And this is how you repay me.
I owe you nothing.
Oh, how little you know.
I'll write to the AMA.
I'll put in an official complaint.
This is just vindictiveness.
I want Eva's file.
Oh (BABY GRUNTS) Rent, food, baby stuff, electricity, bus fares and $8.
20 left over for us.
Party time.
I've got to get nappies.
Maybe I should just ask Leon for my job back at the club.
No, no, please.
Please don't do that.
You know I can be a mum and work at the same time? I know.
I know, but I want to look after you.
This is the only real family I've ever had and you have no idea what that means to me.
I know that but we still need money.
Leave it to me.
OK.
This protest thing tomorrow Mmm, what do you know about it? I heard you talking to that Dennis bloke.
It worries me.
Well, the government are sending young men off to die for no good reason, Chris.
People need to stand up against that.
Promise me you won't go.
Please.
I haven't been asked to go.
Promise me.
# I'll always love you Ain't nobody What happens after this investigation? If the AMA can't help me I'll be shown the door.
And then what? Go back to England.
Without Jim? No, I'm still hoping he'll make it back for the trial.
And that he'll get off.
Have you heard from him? No.
I miss my little boy.
Temptation's strong But what about your little girl? Getting to keep her baby.
Maggie said she's keeping it.
No adoption forms, I thought you had something to do with that.
No.
May be her adoptive mother's had a change of mind.
Licensing cops will be here in 20 minutes.
There's a case of Scotch in the back room with their name on it.
This is my friend, Joan.
What do you do, darling? I drink brandy and dance in a strange manner.
Better make it a double then, Shirley.
On me.
# You gotta be a do right # All night man # Yeah # They say it's a man's world But you can't prove that by me Do you wish you were keeping yours? My parents won't let me.
# And as long as we're together # Show some respect for me If you wanna do right Dad, it's me.
Hey, you know how I was buying a house? I know, you did, but I bought it anyway.
Hey, the thing is - I might need to borrow some money.
It's only a couple of thousand Dad? Hello? One of the nurses said you had to speak to the board yesterday.
Yeah.
Everything alright? Yeah, yeah.
All good.
Didn't push anyone else into the pool? Cheer up then, you've got a face like a wet week.
Oh, Matron! Can I speak to you for a minute? Hey, no, I've got somewhere else I've got to be.
We need to find a priest, it's important.
Father Bryant at St Abigail's.
Tell him I sent you.
Thank you, Matron.
Patricia's making your dress.
That's good of her.
Yeah.
And Simon got us a mortgage on a house, it's all systems go.
A house Big mortgage? Big enough.
It's awkward timing, isn't it? Why? Interest rates going up, yeah.
So, you're becoming a Catholic? Yeah.
Sure, don't care.
Father Bryant will want to hear a bit more commitment than that.
Oh, don't worry, Matron.
I'll make sure Simon's fired up about the Saints when the time comes.
Do you believe in miracles, Simon? Yeah.
If I know the father, he'll also be very interested in your honesty and integrity before giving you the big tick.
Simon's the most honest person I've ever met.
Of course Maggie's not keeping her baby.
Whatever gave you that idea? I heard she doesn't need any adoption forms.
Because she's a ward of the state, her child would be adopted out as a matter of course.
She has no say in it? No.
What happens to Maggie? She'll go to another institution.
What, back to Tarramar? I'll get her into a home run by the Church if I can, they're more reliable.
Hey, Viv.
Pete.
May I? Good news? My friend sent me this photo from Vietnam.
Her brother's little boy.
Oh, he is so cute.
He's still alive, which is even better.
You've been hard to find.
Sorry.
I haven't meant to be.
Are wea thing? Are we still a thing? Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
I've just been a bit all over the place since I got back.
Really sleepy, weird dreams.
Call me.
I will.
While war in Vietnam has brought moral uncertainty to the greatest nation on Earth, life at home goes on.
Within weeks the first tenants will move into the World Trade Centre's north tower, an enduring symbol of American ingenuity and power.
Meanwhile, on our side of the Pacific, the Minister for Defence is in Sydney for high-level ANZUS talks.
The location of the talks is being closely guarded for security reasons.
Patty.
I found the perfect wedding present.
Dance lessons.
Brilliant.
I love it.
Oh, do you want me to take Deanna? Just for an hour.
Thank you.
Hi.
Say hi, Patty.
Hi, missy.
OK, bye.
Thanks.
Oh, look.
As soon as he shows these are going to go through the front door.
Mick and his blokes are going to come into the lobby from the fire escape.
We'll blindside the bastards.
Dennis.
Get out of here.
This is stupid Wrong place, wrong time, love Go! What have you done? Scatter! What have you done, you traitor? # I see the bad moon rising # I see trouble on the way # I see earthquakes and lightning # I see bad times today # Don't go round tonight # Well, it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise.
Annie? Come and sit down.
What happened? Oh! Do you feel nauseous? A little bit, yeah.
How many fingers am I holding up? Three.
Is my baby OK? How hard did you land? Quite hard, I think.
Thanks.
Is there any tenderness? Yeah.
Does that hurt? Yeah.
You should've called an ambulance.
Annie asked me to call you.
Call one now.
OK.
Sorry.
I think I just need to go home and lie down.
You will do as you're told.
Just black coffee, please.
Nothing for me.
You're annoyed.
You took my doctor away.
That's due process.
I liked being treated by a woman.
Look, I just wanted you to have the best care, that's all.
And I'm pleased for you.
Are you? I am, genuinely.
What's wrong with your eyes? You look awful.
So, who's the father? You don't know him.
Is it the spiv in the snappy car? Yes.
What ward? The ambulance man didn't say.
Are you sure it was Annie? How many Annie Carmichaels are there? No, no, Chris.
They took her through there.
Just stay here.
She went to some protest in the city.
There was a fight and she fell, that's all I know.
You're here now, it's alright.
Where's Deanna? She's with Patty, don't worry.
I'm just going to take your blood pressure, alright? Oh! How's the pain now? More or less than before? Maybe more.
Ow! Shh.
Is it OK? Joan? The baby's heartbeat is good.
Close your eyes, try to get some rest.
Relax.
I just need to check some other things.
What things? You may need a Caesarean section to be safe.
You're alright.
Stay with her, keep her calm.
I feel so stupid.
She said she wasn't going.
She promised me she wasn't going.
Chris, you can't change what's done.
Hey, what's the story? We're watching her.
It is possible the placenta's torn away from her womb.
She may need a Caesarean.
It's a common procedure.
But the baby's not ready.
It's still weeks to go.
We may have no choice, Chris.
Look, if it's a choice between Annie and the baby, you save Annie.
Please, just save her.
We're not there yet.
Hey, Matron, the cook asked me to go get some potatoes.
Cross my heart, dead set he did.
Ask him.
Thought I'd ask you.
What a novel development.
Be back in half an hour.
What is it? I got some more film for the Polaroid camera.
I guarantee it'll change your mind when you see what it can do.
I'm so cold.
Reminiscing about all the handsome soldiers you hung around with in Vietnam? (LAUGHS) Viv hung around all the soldiers, I was a good girl.
You went straight to the top of the food chain, had the commander wrapped around your little finger.
You should've seen her, Joan - very sharp operator.
You are suspended.
If you continue, you will be struck off.
Well, that's a fait accompli, isn't it? Meanwhile, Annie needs to be cared for.
Joan! Joan Ah! Oh! My baby! It's OK.
OK, breathe It's OK, sweetheart, we'll see Mummy soon, OK? I'm sorry.
Dr McNaughton, sorry.
Rose.
Deanna.
I need to change her nappy, is there somewhere I can Why is she here? Where's her mother? Annie's in the ward.
She's just through there.
Hey, look at you Excuse me, sorry.
Dr McNaughton, I've been looking for you.
Annie Carmichael's been admitted.
I heard.
She was hurt.
What now? She's thrown herself off a bridge? Irresponsible moron.
Sir, have you been drinking? Dr Millar, where is she? I don't know.
Swab.
Forceps.
God, I've been waiting 20 minutes.
What are you doing here? So, I've got a cousin in Narrabeen who I can ask to let me live at her place with the baby.
Working as a cleaner and a nanny but she'll probably want a reference because I've been in Tarramar.
Will you give me one? What kind of reference? I don't know.
Make something up.
Say that I've been working for you and I'm reliable and that.
Go on.
Maggie, it won't be that simple.
One thing! That's all I'm asking.
Can't you do one stupid thing for me? Yes, OK.
A boy.
(BABY CRIES) Get him into a humidicrib, 30% oxygen.
Sutures.
A little boy.
Can I see Annie? Soon.
You've got a baby brother.
Doc.
Your baby was delivered by Caesarean section - early, but so far, so good.
And Annie's great.
She lost some blood but she'll be fine.
Thank you.
The paediatrician's had a look at him.
His vital signs are average but not desperate.
He's very fragile and very beautiful.
Thank you so much for this.
I'm the reason Annie got hurt.
I should've never said anything.
You weren't to know she'd go.
If I hadn't blabbed, the cops would never've been there.
And the situation might've become a lot worse.
I'd just never seem to get things right.
Rubbish.
You've made a beautiful son.
Annie will hate me if she knows what I did.
So don't tell her.
Say nothing.
The idea of getting guilty secrets of your chest helps matters is a myth.
Put it behind you, focus on becoming a good father and husband.
I've got something to give you.
Your father's things.
They can be yours now.
You can pass them on to your son.
His fountain pen, his coins and stamps, his tobacco tin.
His dictionary - he demanded good grammar.
That's his Bible.
I'm not a believer.
You never know, you might see a burning bush on the road to Damascus one day.
Keep it.
How old was he? When he went to Tobruk? About your age.
I've collected less things than him.
Fewer.
What? You've collected fewer things.
Do you think he would've liked me? He would've adored you.
I read Eva's file.
I figured.
She responded quickly to the Ovazerin you gave her.
One cycle.
She's a natural.
She may have fallen pregnant without it.
Or not.
She's had a lot of trouble.
Do you mind? We were married 16 years.
She told me the child was mine.
Yes.
I've given you the chance to be a father again, you should be kissing my feet.
You should've been paying attention to her HTG levels.
Hey, Chris, how's Annie? She could've been killed! Take your hands off me.
You said if I gave you what you wanted you would protect her.
You liar! I told you to keep her away.
Do what you want.
Fit me up, put me back inside, I don't care.
I'm never telling you another thing.
# Little by little by little by little by little # You're messing up my life, tearing me apart # Breaking up my world and I'm giving up my heart # Little by little by little by little # I'm losing all my pride, it's really getting bad # Hurting deep inside is a-making me go mad # Oooh # Little by little by little by little # Little by little, bit by bit # I'm going crazy and you're causing it # Little by little, bit by bit # I should stop caring but my love won't quit # Little by little by little by little by little # Yeah # Little by little by little by little # Don't know where to turn, don't know what to do # Walking on thin ice and it seems I'm falling through # Oooh # Little by little by little by little # Little by little, bit by bit # I'm going crazy and you're causing it # Little by little, bit by bit I should stop caring but my love won't quit.
Morning, Professor.
You're up and about nice and early.
Early to bed, early to rise Yes, I'm all in favour of rules to live by.
Does your wife ever come to the clubs up here with you? Or is she not into that sort of thing? I was doing business.
Yes, of course.
Yes.
Don't worry, understood.
I was thinking about that business we discussed at the board meeting the other day - Dr McNaughton's wife and all that.
Do you think an investigation is really necessary? Yeah, it's been dropped, the whole investigation.
We're back on the payroll.
Why? I don't know.
I was halfway through writing my submission when the knob-end with the bow tie came and told me I didn't have to.
I don't understand.
Doctor, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
You've still got a job and I've still got a house.
As you were.
Dr Millar.
Patrick called me in, do you know why? I've been told not to discuss your case with you but I believe he wants to discuss your hormone levels.
A riveting way to spend a morning.
I thought you didn't want him to know he was the father of your child.
I don't.
I did not entrap you.
When you spent the night with me you knew you were ovulating.
And held a gun to your head, as I recall.
It must've been awful.
Wilful negligence, at the very best.
So, when were you planning to let me know I was the father? I hadn't thought about it.
Possibly never.
Oh, so not just a little selfish, you thought you'd go all the way? You turned me down when I first suggested the idea, remember? I assumed you didn't want to be a father, or don't.
Put these on.
(HEART BEATING) Hear that? I've heard it before.
It's very fast.
Too fast.
Is something wrong with its heart? Hearts.
Plural.
There's more than one - probably three.
You have a multiple pregnancy, Eva.
# I feel it in my fingers # I feel it in my toes # Love is all around me # And so the feeling grows # It's written on the wind It's everywhere I go Congratulations.
Oh.
Annie's in Ward B.
I'm here to see you.
I want to be Maggie's guardian.
She can come and live with me.
Are you doing this because you want to, or because you feel you should? Just tell me what I have to do.
I'm not judging you.
I'm a great believer in duty.
Fancy that, a grandmother at your age.
At least I had the good grace to wait until I was 50.
# You know I love you, I always will # My mind's made up by the way that I feel There's no beginning, there'll be no end Oh! Shall we toast? It's written on the wind, it's everywhere I go (CHEERS) # Come on and let it show # Come on and let it show Come on and let it show.
Salvaged your job? So it seems.
How'd you do that? You're on the board, you tell me.
Eva's carrying three foetuses.
I've a question for you - a woman with an incompetent cervix presents with triplets, what are the chances of her carrying those babies to term? Zero.
Mmm.
Go to the top of the class.
subtitle by peritta
All the way to the floor.
Good.
Very good.
You're such a liar.
Just turn off the engine and get out of the car.
Is it about the clutch? No.
I can't get it all the way to the floor, my legs are too short.
Just turn around.
What are we looking at, Simon? I haven't got all day.
You see that place there? Yeah.
I bought it.
Such a lovely way that you say good night Well, I paid the deposit.
I pick up the keys next week.
# Such a lovely way that you hold me tight # I wish you'd stay all night # Such a lovely way Such a lovely, lovely way to say # You think that I don't feel love # What I feel for you is real love # In others' eyes I see reflected a hurt, scorned, rejected # Love child Different from the rest I've been jotting down a few wedding present ideas for the last couple of weeks.
Anything there you'd like to choose? Bone china dinner service? Yeah, I like that one too.
Expensive.
But we could all chip in.
Do you think Martha would use it? Oh, see, the beauty with the bone china dinner service is that it stays in the cabinet and 'Cause you don't want that broken.
Hi.
I've got exactly the right thing.
You're going to love this.
Polaroid camera.
You just take the photo and you can see it straight away.
Oh! What do you mean you can see it straight away? The photo develops in your hand.
I'll show you.
What, what? Did you just take a photo of yourself? Yeah.
Very self-indulgent.
Can I have a look? It takes a minute.
I don't think that's a wedding present.
Come on, it's cool.
We could get a few for the reception and people could take their own photos.
Do you think people want to do that at a wedding? Yeah, Martha would love it.
See, I think the bone china dinner service is much less gimmicky.
Would Martha use a bone china dinner service? Does that matter? Sorry, mate.
Watch where you're going.
It's for my new baby.
Yeah, I'm going to be a dad.
Oi, Jimmy, I'm going to be a dad.
I don't know if it's going to fit, Chris.
Oh, we'll make it fit.
Billy the kid's got to have his own bed.
Billy.
My dad's name.
It's a great name.
And what if it's a little girl? Well, then you can choose.
Yeah? Hmm.
And Notice of intention to marry.
We have to sign it at least one month out.
I don't know if I want to get married.
Oh, go on.
I'm great, you know who I am.
Annie.
I'll be a minute.
I want you to make some calls.
OK.
All my mates' phones are bugged.
The Defence Minister's staying in a hotel in the city this weekend.
There's some kind of protest against the Defence Minister tomorrow.
In a hotel in the city.
A violent protest? Oh, he said it might get ugly.
Maybe he was talking about you blokes.
He asked Annie to make some calls because his mates' phones are all bugged.
That's all I know.
You should've called me when Tomlinson was there.
Sure.
So you could just happen to show up and arrest him? Yeah, that would've looked great.
Well, where's Tomlinson now? No idea.
Hey, make sure Annie isn't there tomorrow.
How was the cot received? Yeah, good.
We're very happy.
I didn't say it was from you.
Maybe the best for my grandchild.
Has Annie booked in for the birth? She wants to have it at home.
A home birth? Well, the last time she had a baby here, you gave it away and told her it was dead.
I do not give children away.
Any hospital would be better than the living room floor.
She's afraid of hospitals.
Maybe if she stopped having children out of wedlock Hey, I'm working on it.
I'm working on it, OK? Cynthia, your adoption forms? Yes, Matron, I've got them.
I know you've got them.
I want you to sign them and give them to me.
So far, so good.
The stitches are holding.
I've done everything you said - nothing strenuous.
Now, as the baby grows it'll put more pressure on your cervix.
You need to be increasingly careful.
And any more spotting, you call me immediately.
I will.
Has Patrick spoken to you? No.
You? No.
Perhaps he doesn't know as much as you think.
He knows you had a cerclage, which means he knows you're pregnant.
And he knows I did the operation.
Well, it's not really his business.
We are divorced.
I can't imagine him seeing it that way, can you? You never know.
He might have mellowed.
If he finds out I've been treating you with fertility drugs I doubt there'll be anything mellow about it.
A house.
A whole house! He's deceptively romantic, that boy.
Can you stop jiggling? How's that feel? Perfect.
When do I get to see the actual dress? Patience.
I bet it's going to be beautiful.
The mood you're in, you'd say that even if I was making you a hessian sack.
So, what's the house like inside? I haven't seen it yet.
But if it's like the outside, it's simple and lovely.
And there's a room out the back we can use for a nursery when a baby comes.
Have you organised the church? I meant to do that last weekend but the priest at St Sebastian's has left.
You'd better get your skates on.
You and Simon have to meet the priest and discuss your faith and everything.
Do we? Simon is a Catholic, isn't he? Actually, I haven't asked him.
Three Stanton House girls were meant to see me this morning for their check-ups.
There was laundry to be done.
Laundry? Instead of medical checks? Their priorities are my business.
I'll let you know when that changes.
I've signed them, Matron.
Good.
Upstairs, and wash for lunch.
I haven't got any adoption papers.
That's right.
They don't apply to you, dear.
I'm going to keep my baby! Mrs Brewer has a postpartum infection at the episiotomy site.
This also raises the chances of what? Come on, fellas.
A urinary tract infection.
How are you today? Let's take a look down there I had to borrow $15,000 from the bank.
When did houses get that expensive? I bet you're in Martha's good books though.
Did you have any appointments with Stanton House girls scheduled for today? Yeah.
Cancelled.
Me too.
Why? Bowditch, Millar, any other advice? No? OK, then.
Now that I have your attention, the two of you are due in the boardroom.
Why? Who's next? You admitted Mrs McNaughton under a false name.
She's no longer Mrs McNaughton.
They're not married.
Did you, or not? Yes.
Then the two of you performed an operation on her without Dr McNaughton's knowledge or consent.
At the patient's request.
As residents, you have a professional obligation to get the approval of your department.
She didn't want Dr McNaughton to know.
Professor Metcalf was speaking.
Eva couldn't have seen one of the other obstetricians in the city because any one of them would have known that she was That's true.
They would've.
It's a very tight-knit community.
Enough.
Can I just say for the record that at all times Dr Millar acted in the best interest of the patient.
No, you cannot.
What if something had gone wrong? It didn't.
But if it had? It wouldn't be the first time one of your patients had fallen victim to your arrogance, now, would it? The cerclage is a difficult procedure.
You did it perfectly.
I shouldn't have involved you.
I'm sorry.
My mother used to always say, "Worry about the worst that can happen 'cause then it never does.
" She's dead, isn't she? Yeah.
You're suspended without pay.
Professor Metcalf will be conducting a full investigation.
How long will that take? Without pay? I've just borrowed $15,000 from the bank.
Oh! What am I going to tell Martha? Eva came to me, she asked me to treat her.
You could have said no.
She wanted a woman doctor - maybe she knew I'd be more professional.
Oh, that's how you think you've behaved? Yes.
You could've spoken to me like an adult, instead of dragging me in front of the board Have you or have you not .
.
like a petulant little schoolboy.
.
.
been giving Eva fertility treatment? Which drugs? What doses? How often? It doesn't matter, I want all your records and personal case notes.
You're not allowed to see them.
Now that there's an investigation, I can.
Read your contract.
Oh, is that what this is about? Strategy? My ex-wife has been given drugs that could do her harm.
It is my bloody business.
It isn't.
You don't own her.
Is the child mine? Just because you have no respect for professional ethics, don't expect the same from me.
Oh, ethics - that's bloody hilarious coming from you.
You watched a man die and did nothing.
Has that slipped your mind? I have given you every bloody opportunity you've ever had here.
Buried your mistakes, gone out of my way to support you when no-one in this place thought that you were worth a pinch of shit.
And this is how you repay me.
I owe you nothing.
Oh, how little you know.
I'll write to the AMA.
I'll put in an official complaint.
This is just vindictiveness.
I want Eva's file.
Oh (BABY GRUNTS) Rent, food, baby stuff, electricity, bus fares and $8.
20 left over for us.
Party time.
I've got to get nappies.
Maybe I should just ask Leon for my job back at the club.
No, no, please.
Please don't do that.
You know I can be a mum and work at the same time? I know.
I know, but I want to look after you.
This is the only real family I've ever had and you have no idea what that means to me.
I know that but we still need money.
Leave it to me.
OK.
This protest thing tomorrow Mmm, what do you know about it? I heard you talking to that Dennis bloke.
It worries me.
Well, the government are sending young men off to die for no good reason, Chris.
People need to stand up against that.
Promise me you won't go.
Please.
I haven't been asked to go.
Promise me.
# I'll always love you Ain't nobody What happens after this investigation? If the AMA can't help me I'll be shown the door.
And then what? Go back to England.
Without Jim? No, I'm still hoping he'll make it back for the trial.
And that he'll get off.
Have you heard from him? No.
I miss my little boy.
Temptation's strong But what about your little girl? Getting to keep her baby.
Maggie said she's keeping it.
No adoption forms, I thought you had something to do with that.
No.
May be her adoptive mother's had a change of mind.
Licensing cops will be here in 20 minutes.
There's a case of Scotch in the back room with their name on it.
This is my friend, Joan.
What do you do, darling? I drink brandy and dance in a strange manner.
Better make it a double then, Shirley.
On me.
# You gotta be a do right # All night man # Yeah # They say it's a man's world But you can't prove that by me Do you wish you were keeping yours? My parents won't let me.
# And as long as we're together # Show some respect for me If you wanna do right Dad, it's me.
Hey, you know how I was buying a house? I know, you did, but I bought it anyway.
Hey, the thing is - I might need to borrow some money.
It's only a couple of thousand Dad? Hello? One of the nurses said you had to speak to the board yesterday.
Yeah.
Everything alright? Yeah, yeah.
All good.
Didn't push anyone else into the pool? Cheer up then, you've got a face like a wet week.
Oh, Matron! Can I speak to you for a minute? Hey, no, I've got somewhere else I've got to be.
We need to find a priest, it's important.
Father Bryant at St Abigail's.
Tell him I sent you.
Thank you, Matron.
Patricia's making your dress.
That's good of her.
Yeah.
And Simon got us a mortgage on a house, it's all systems go.
A house Big mortgage? Big enough.
It's awkward timing, isn't it? Why? Interest rates going up, yeah.
So, you're becoming a Catholic? Yeah.
Sure, don't care.
Father Bryant will want to hear a bit more commitment than that.
Oh, don't worry, Matron.
I'll make sure Simon's fired up about the Saints when the time comes.
Do you believe in miracles, Simon? Yeah.
If I know the father, he'll also be very interested in your honesty and integrity before giving you the big tick.
Simon's the most honest person I've ever met.
Of course Maggie's not keeping her baby.
Whatever gave you that idea? I heard she doesn't need any adoption forms.
Because she's a ward of the state, her child would be adopted out as a matter of course.
She has no say in it? No.
What happens to Maggie? She'll go to another institution.
What, back to Tarramar? I'll get her into a home run by the Church if I can, they're more reliable.
Hey, Viv.
Pete.
May I? Good news? My friend sent me this photo from Vietnam.
Her brother's little boy.
Oh, he is so cute.
He's still alive, which is even better.
You've been hard to find.
Sorry.
I haven't meant to be.
Are wea thing? Are we still a thing? Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
I've just been a bit all over the place since I got back.
Really sleepy, weird dreams.
Call me.
I will.
While war in Vietnam has brought moral uncertainty to the greatest nation on Earth, life at home goes on.
Within weeks the first tenants will move into the World Trade Centre's north tower, an enduring symbol of American ingenuity and power.
Meanwhile, on our side of the Pacific, the Minister for Defence is in Sydney for high-level ANZUS talks.
The location of the talks is being closely guarded for security reasons.
Patty.
I found the perfect wedding present.
Dance lessons.
Brilliant.
I love it.
Oh, do you want me to take Deanna? Just for an hour.
Thank you.
Hi.
Say hi, Patty.
Hi, missy.
OK, bye.
Thanks.
Oh, look.
As soon as he shows these are going to go through the front door.
Mick and his blokes are going to come into the lobby from the fire escape.
We'll blindside the bastards.
Dennis.
Get out of here.
This is stupid Wrong place, wrong time, love Go! What have you done? Scatter! What have you done, you traitor? # I see the bad moon rising # I see trouble on the way # I see earthquakes and lightning # I see bad times today # Don't go round tonight # Well, it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise.
Annie? Come and sit down.
What happened? Oh! Do you feel nauseous? A little bit, yeah.
How many fingers am I holding up? Three.
Is my baby OK? How hard did you land? Quite hard, I think.
Thanks.
Is there any tenderness? Yeah.
Does that hurt? Yeah.
You should've called an ambulance.
Annie asked me to call you.
Call one now.
OK.
Sorry.
I think I just need to go home and lie down.
You will do as you're told.
Just black coffee, please.
Nothing for me.
You're annoyed.
You took my doctor away.
That's due process.
I liked being treated by a woman.
Look, I just wanted you to have the best care, that's all.
And I'm pleased for you.
Are you? I am, genuinely.
What's wrong with your eyes? You look awful.
So, who's the father? You don't know him.
Is it the spiv in the snappy car? Yes.
What ward? The ambulance man didn't say.
Are you sure it was Annie? How many Annie Carmichaels are there? No, no, Chris.
They took her through there.
Just stay here.
She went to some protest in the city.
There was a fight and she fell, that's all I know.
You're here now, it's alright.
Where's Deanna? She's with Patty, don't worry.
I'm just going to take your blood pressure, alright? Oh! How's the pain now? More or less than before? Maybe more.
Ow! Shh.
Is it OK? Joan? The baby's heartbeat is good.
Close your eyes, try to get some rest.
Relax.
I just need to check some other things.
What things? You may need a Caesarean section to be safe.
You're alright.
Stay with her, keep her calm.
I feel so stupid.
She said she wasn't going.
She promised me she wasn't going.
Chris, you can't change what's done.
Hey, what's the story? We're watching her.
It is possible the placenta's torn away from her womb.
She may need a Caesarean.
It's a common procedure.
But the baby's not ready.
It's still weeks to go.
We may have no choice, Chris.
Look, if it's a choice between Annie and the baby, you save Annie.
Please, just save her.
We're not there yet.
Hey, Matron, the cook asked me to go get some potatoes.
Cross my heart, dead set he did.
Ask him.
Thought I'd ask you.
What a novel development.
Be back in half an hour.
What is it? I got some more film for the Polaroid camera.
I guarantee it'll change your mind when you see what it can do.
I'm so cold.
Reminiscing about all the handsome soldiers you hung around with in Vietnam? (LAUGHS) Viv hung around all the soldiers, I was a good girl.
You went straight to the top of the food chain, had the commander wrapped around your little finger.
You should've seen her, Joan - very sharp operator.
You are suspended.
If you continue, you will be struck off.
Well, that's a fait accompli, isn't it? Meanwhile, Annie needs to be cared for.
Joan! Joan Ah! Oh! My baby! It's OK.
OK, breathe It's OK, sweetheart, we'll see Mummy soon, OK? I'm sorry.
Dr McNaughton, sorry.
Rose.
Deanna.
I need to change her nappy, is there somewhere I can Why is she here? Where's her mother? Annie's in the ward.
She's just through there.
Hey, look at you Excuse me, sorry.
Dr McNaughton, I've been looking for you.
Annie Carmichael's been admitted.
I heard.
She was hurt.
What now? She's thrown herself off a bridge? Irresponsible moron.
Sir, have you been drinking? Dr Millar, where is she? I don't know.
Swab.
Forceps.
God, I've been waiting 20 minutes.
What are you doing here? So, I've got a cousin in Narrabeen who I can ask to let me live at her place with the baby.
Working as a cleaner and a nanny but she'll probably want a reference because I've been in Tarramar.
Will you give me one? What kind of reference? I don't know.
Make something up.
Say that I've been working for you and I'm reliable and that.
Go on.
Maggie, it won't be that simple.
One thing! That's all I'm asking.
Can't you do one stupid thing for me? Yes, OK.
A boy.
(BABY CRIES) Get him into a humidicrib, 30% oxygen.
Sutures.
A little boy.
Can I see Annie? Soon.
You've got a baby brother.
Doc.
Your baby was delivered by Caesarean section - early, but so far, so good.
And Annie's great.
She lost some blood but she'll be fine.
Thank you.
The paediatrician's had a look at him.
His vital signs are average but not desperate.
He's very fragile and very beautiful.
Thank you so much for this.
I'm the reason Annie got hurt.
I should've never said anything.
You weren't to know she'd go.
If I hadn't blabbed, the cops would never've been there.
And the situation might've become a lot worse.
I'd just never seem to get things right.
Rubbish.
You've made a beautiful son.
Annie will hate me if she knows what I did.
So don't tell her.
Say nothing.
The idea of getting guilty secrets of your chest helps matters is a myth.
Put it behind you, focus on becoming a good father and husband.
I've got something to give you.
Your father's things.
They can be yours now.
You can pass them on to your son.
His fountain pen, his coins and stamps, his tobacco tin.
His dictionary - he demanded good grammar.
That's his Bible.
I'm not a believer.
You never know, you might see a burning bush on the road to Damascus one day.
Keep it.
How old was he? When he went to Tobruk? About your age.
I've collected less things than him.
Fewer.
What? You've collected fewer things.
Do you think he would've liked me? He would've adored you.
I read Eva's file.
I figured.
She responded quickly to the Ovazerin you gave her.
One cycle.
She's a natural.
She may have fallen pregnant without it.
Or not.
She's had a lot of trouble.
Do you mind? We were married 16 years.
She told me the child was mine.
Yes.
I've given you the chance to be a father again, you should be kissing my feet.
You should've been paying attention to her HTG levels.
Hey, Chris, how's Annie? She could've been killed! Take your hands off me.
You said if I gave you what you wanted you would protect her.
You liar! I told you to keep her away.
Do what you want.
Fit me up, put me back inside, I don't care.
I'm never telling you another thing.

Morning, Professor.
You're up and about nice and early.
Early to bed, early to rise Yes, I'm all in favour of rules to live by.
Does your wife ever come to the clubs up here with you? Or is she not into that sort of thing? I was doing business.
Yes, of course.
Yes.
Don't worry, understood.
I was thinking about that business we discussed at the board meeting the other day - Dr McNaughton's wife and all that.
Do you think an investigation is really necessary? Yeah, it's been dropped, the whole investigation.
We're back on the payroll.
Why? I don't know.
I was halfway through writing my submission when the knob-end with the bow tie came and told me I didn't have to.
I don't understand.
Doctor, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
You've still got a job and I've still got a house.
As you were.
Dr Millar.
Patrick called me in, do you know why? I've been told not to discuss your case with you but I believe he wants to discuss your hormone levels.
A riveting way to spend a morning.
I thought you didn't want him to know he was the father of your child.
I don't.
I did not entrap you.
When you spent the night with me you knew you were ovulating.
And held a gun to your head, as I recall.
It must've been awful.
Wilful negligence, at the very best.
So, when were you planning to let me know I was the father? I hadn't thought about it.
Possibly never.
Oh, so not just a little selfish, you thought you'd go all the way? You turned me down when I first suggested the idea, remember? I assumed you didn't want to be a father, or don't.
Put these on.
(HEART BEATING) Hear that? I've heard it before.
It's very fast.
Too fast.
Is something wrong with its heart? Hearts.
Plural.
There's more than one - probably three.
You have a multiple pregnancy, Eva.
# I feel it in my fingers # I feel it in my toes # Love is all around me # And so the feeling grows # It's written on the wind It's everywhere I go Congratulations.
Oh.
Annie's in Ward B.
I'm here to see you.
I want to be Maggie's guardian.
She can come and live with me.
Are you doing this because you want to, or because you feel you should? Just tell me what I have to do.
I'm not judging you.
I'm a great believer in duty.
Fancy that, a grandmother at your age.
At least I had the good grace to wait until I was 50.
# You know I love you, I always will # My mind's made up by the way that I feel There's no beginning, there'll be no end Oh! Shall we toast? It's written on the wind, it's everywhere I go (CHEERS) # Come on and let it show # Come on and let it show Come on and let it show.
Salvaged your job? So it seems.
How'd you do that? You're on the board, you tell me.
Eva's carrying three foetuses.
I've a question for you - a woman with an incompetent cervix presents with triplets, what are the chances of her carrying those babies to term? Zero.
Mmm.
Go to the top of the class.
