A Place to Call Home (2013) s03e10 Episode Script
The Love Undeniable
synced by KoalaNL I said no ! OH ! No one says no to me ! I think you should slow down.
This isn't like you.
There's obviously something you're not telling me.
Hysterectomy at 15.
The uterine wall's perforated.
The man was a butcher.
Ruptured appendix.
I thought 'miscarriage' was the usual euphemism on the death certificate.
Well, I just met the new owner of Stardust.
Do you have any idea, what that horse is worth? Stardust is MY horse ! What was once his pride, now seems like plain stubbornness.
This is a princess, slumming it.
Give it to me, that's my work ! Anna, hey Anna ! Sweetheart, what.
.
? You came all this way, just to give me a clipping? No, no.
To ask you, to run away with me.
Henry.
I feel like I can talk to you, like I can't talk to anyone else.
That day, Rene Nordmann shot you, He was intent.
He wanted to kill you.
So, is this a proposal or a business deal? Both.
You do realise that a marriage of this nature, can be easily annulled? Rene Nordmann passed away.
No matter how charitable you may feel towards me, or to the baby, we WILL be on our own.
It won't be charity.
To Sarah Nordmann, I give, devise and bequeath, finances held in trust, on behalf of our unborn child.
That's his favourite.
synced by KoalaNL Regina ? George.
Darling ? George, good morning.
Last night was such a lovely surprise.
You were so masterful.
We make a great team, George.
In every situation.
It was inappropriate, given the circumstances.
It won't happen again.
When you get back, we can go over your hospital speech, if you wish.
Ah, there you are.
Good morning mother.
- George, if I may have a word.
- I'm rather busy.
I'm sure you are.
Anna is here.
How lovely.
Well, she and Gino have had an argument.
She's with Carolyn.
- Is she alright? - She will be.
What about you? I didn't sleep well, that's all.
Come on, sleepy head.
Right, this bed's too comfortable.
Sweetheart.
You can't hide from this.
You need to stand up for yourself.
I thought that marriage would be like "Pride and Prejudice", or "A Room with a View".
Everyone living happily ever after.
You still love him.
You and papa love each other, but you're not even talking.
Let's leave Jack out of this.
The same with father and Sarah.
Love it's it's no guarantee.
So, you're gonna hide from the future in here? - Under the covers? - No.
You know, one day I'm going to earn my own living as a writer.
Just like you.
Well, so many writers in the family.
Won't the Bronte sisters be jealous? Hmhm.
Mr.
Bligh, launching his campaign, here with us.
We're so lucky, don't you think? Look at you.
Never seen you look so pretty.
Pretty as a picture.
Very nice thing to say.
Oh, credit where credit's due.
Really scrub up alright for an old girl, don't you? Goodness, look at the time.
I'll be needed indoors.
Sister Carlin? Could you please take Mrs Clark's blood pressure more frequently? I'm concerned, she's developing preeclampsia May I speak frankly? Not all the patients feel comfortable, with you in mourning, and so on.
And so on? With you in the family way? Which patients? Give me their names, I'll have a quiet word.
There's no need for that.
Oh, let's go and talk to them together, shall we? Because I can guarantee that most of them worked in their paddocks until they were ready to drop.
So, I'm a bit surprised.
It's men, who put these demeaning ideas into people's heads.
We women know, what we're capable off.
If you focused on your job, Marjorie you really would be a much better nurse.
I know, what you're gonna say.
Perhaps it's too soon, to come back.
In my condition, you've joined the enemy.
It's not just about the pregnancy.
I need to be here, Jack.
Alright.
You just take things slowly, hm? You should have been there.
The strings were sublime.
Apparently, Eugene Goossens may well get his Opera House built, according to the radio.
Lizzie ? Ow .
.
do forgive me.
My mind was elsewhere.
Well, if you want to unburden? It's good of you to come and tell me about the concert.
I do value your friendship, you know.
Actually, that's why I'm here.
Cause I've been thinking.
I don't want to be your friend.
Oh, I see.
I want us to be more than just friends.
Why not ? Why don't we go away together, hm ? You want to see this archeology first hand? Other people visit the Middle East.
Why don't we? Douglas, this is most improper.
What would people think? Ah ! Well, we can go in disguise.
As a camel.
You can go as the front, I'll go as the back.
Hm ? Don't be ridiculous ! Why, you think people might catch on, eventually ? Lizzie, life is so short.
Why don't we just suck the marrow out of it, while we still can.
- My family.
- They don't need you, like I do.
Keep it.
We have to be at the airport I'll call by the Sydney apartment if you're not there .
.
I'll take it, our chapter is concluded.
If you are, you make me a very happy man, indeed.
They just need to sort things out for themselves.
Ah, Mr Goddard.
Back again !? What a lovely surprise.
I hope, mother isn't wearing you out, with all this driving.
Mr Goddard was just leaving.
Why don't you stay for lunch ? George is off, campaigning, but we'd love to have you.
I- I couldnât impose.
That's no imposition.
Is it, mother ? Then again, cook can be an awful , when these things are sprung on to her.
- Another time ? - Let's hope so.
I'll ehm .
.
take my leave then.
- I'll see you out.
- Oh, thank you.
Did something happen ? Oh, this notion, that one's every thought needs expressing.
Yes.
heaven forbid, anyone having a truthful human reaction to anything, mother ! Anna, are you sure about this ? Oh yeah, these will be fine, until I get the rest of my things out of the attic.
Is there a horse for me ? Of course.
I meant, about staying on at Ash Park.
I hate seeing you like this, so I'm gonna go talk.
.
Please don't James, just let things be.
I'm glad you're home.
We miss you, when you're in Sydney.
Well, it's like Henry says.
It's a hard job, but some one's got to do it.
You've become such good friends, haven't you ? Well, that's all we are.
Friends ! And it's high time, regions like Inverness, enjoy the same benefits, as the cities.
Such as modern ambulance care.
Now, some country areas still lack this amenity.
I had need, recently, of the ambulance service, and fortunately, it happened to be available.
And it certainly helped, to save my life.
This gave me cause to reflect, on what matters.
Now, in the lead-up to this election, you'll hear a lot of talk about the the state of our economy, in relation to the nation, inflation, and so forth, but when you look at your lives, in two, five, ten years time, and you you see where they might be, what is it that matters most.
Well, surely it has to be the people in our lives our families those we love.
The confidence, that we can give them to sustain and build our communities communities, that are the backbones of this region.
It's not the platform we decided on.
What's going on, Reggie ? Nothing that cannot be fixed ! Don't worry, you'll get your coalmine.
.
.
to be, your next member of parliament.
Thank you.
Thank you ! Mr Bligh, our patients would so love to meet you.
Apology, such a big schedule.
- It'll be my pleasure.
- Oh.
Marty ! This is Mr George Bligh.
- You been in the wars ? - Little closer, sister.
Isn't sister Nordmann a marvel ? I think, if anything is keeping her upright, it's MY handmade tonic.
Is that so ? I cannot understand, why you would take such a risk.
I'll speak with Sir Richard about my priorities.
The way you looked at her, it was obvious.
This feeling.
You're still in love with her.
My feelings are none of your concern.
To Sarah Nordmann, I give, devise and bequeath, finances held in trust, on behalf of our unborn child, for maintenance, education, advancement and benefit, reaching the age of 21.
One should always be up, for new experiences.
Get out, just leave it !! What on earth is going on ? You'll have to ask Mrs Bligh.
Regina ! Patrolling the halls.
How Dickensian, even for you.
Respect of you, Regina, is not going to be easy.
You mean my marriage? To the man I love ? And who loves me, in every way ! Yes, your hopes of annulment have been dashed.
In a quite spectacular fashion.
Then you have everything you want.
But still not satisfied.
- According to who ? - I see you.
Regina, I see who you are.
You are a wanton woman.
How sad you are.
The way you cling to this life, this family.
But only, because you have nothing else.
You're the one, who doesn't belong here.
You're the one, who has no place ! Your speech went well ? It was a clarifying experience.
Is there something on your mind ? George, I want you to promise me, to be careful, with Regina, she is so dangerously willful.
I'm not blind to Regina's ambitions.
You needn't worry about that.
It was nice to see Douglas back here, so soon.
You're changing the subject.
Attentive, isn't he ? He does tend toward the spontaneous.
How awful for you, mother.
And he's rather too fond of Tchaikovsky.
He makes you happy.
Douglas is a wonderful man.
And we all deserve a little happiness.
That's what HE says.
It's never too late.
Working hard, Gino ? Go home, James.
Look, I know what Anna's like.
She's hardheaded and practical.
She can't be told anything.
Don't talk about her like that.
That's fine, she's my sister.
I know her.
Please, Gino.
Put things right with her, be a good husband.
You're lecturing me on being a husband? That's rich.
What's that supposed to mean ? Forget about it.
No, I'm trying to talk to you and you don't even have the decency, to look me in the eye.
- Look, just leave ! - NO ! You used to be so easy-going, we've always got along.
Tell me what's changed.
I married a Bligh.
And that's such a hardship ? To be married to Anna, no.
- All that comes with it.
- What ? What are you talking about? The lies, the secrets.
No wonder people write such terrible things about your family.
What things ? Swanson wrote a letter to Anna.
About you, your wife and your son.
My son ? This is nonsense.
Alright, what did that pig Swanson say about him ? That he's not yours.
Well, that's not true.
You make amends with my sister, or you'll answer to me.
There you are.
James ? Whatever's the matter ? - James ? - I just saw Gino.
Swanson's letter, is it true ? They say, men like me can't father a child.
Is Georgie mine ?! - Why would you ever.
.
- Tell me !! How can you even question that ? You slept with Lloyd behind my back.
Perhaps you have a talent for deception.
And so you would trust Andrew Swanson's word over mine ? After everything we've been through ? Is that how little you think of me ? James, this is ludicrous.
Of course Georgie is yours.
He's OUR little boy.
JAMES ! Truce.
You're not joining me ? Why not .
In the car, we argued.
I regret that.
To teething problems.
You do trust me, don't you ? If you're having second thoughts about our arrangement ? Sarah Nordmann was not part of our arrangement.
I've made it clear.
Don't see her again.
Please ? There can only be two of us, in this marriage.
If it were to come out If what were to come out ? Think of your career.
The scandal, you would be a laughing stock.
People talk.
Who would tell these people ? If you're suggesting I will NOT be blackmailed by my wife ! That is NOT it.
Your mother has been in your ear, poisoning you against me.
My mother is not the poisoning type.
You, will play the role, that you have chosen.
You will smile and wave, and do what is asked.
And in return, you'll enjoy the benefits of your position.
But you will not question me.
Nor will you plot and connive against Mrs.
Nordmann.
Whatever your grievances.
Is that understood ? - George.
.
- Is that understood !!? Yes.
Very well.
I'm so glad, you've resumed your work.
I'm sure, it's for the best.
Mind you, it wouldn't have happened in my day.
It wouldn't have been allowed.
Confinement meant exactly that.
Women have more choices now.
Not as many, as we might like.
And few supported, even by other women.
But still, you do exactly as you see fit.
Regardless of what others think.
As do you.
Like this possible trip ? And yes, your immunisations are up to date.
Including cholera and typhoid ? Are you thinking of somewhere exotic ? Perhaps.
I do worry about leaving George.
He needs so much support, at the moment.
He has his wife for that.
From someone he can trust.
George was raised by you, Elizabeth.
He'll make the right decisions.
Eventually.
Perhaps.
Gino ! Anna.
Olivia told me, what you said to James.
How could you do that ? Do you know what you have done to them and how horrible it is ? There is no excuse.
I was angry.
I don't expect you, to forgive me.
But Anna, bella, wait.
Hey I'm sorry.
I am so so sorry.
I made so many mistakes with us, with James.
But I love you, bella.
More than anything.
We were so happy, once.
Can't we be again ? I don't know how ? I thought we were meeting at the club.
I was in the neighborhood, so.
.
Drink ? Thank you, you read my mind.
Well, we can talk about it.
Or NOT talk about it, up to you.
I wouldn't know where to start.
How about at the bottom of this ? I might seem quite mad.
Stark, raving.
I had to get away.
And here you are.
It's all getting a bit on top of me, I'm afraid.
What is ? The world is not gonna end, James.
Just let it out.
Just, let it out ! It has been brought to the Chamber's attention, that you may have been involved in unlawful conduct, with intend to administer an illegal abortion, resulting in the untimely death, of a patient.
Bella mia, bella ragazze.
Toast, café.
I can't believe I fell asleep.
I missed waking up next to you.
Let's never be apart like that.
No, we can't go on fighting, as we have.
We won't.
No more arguing about money, or anything.
I was thinking that we could sell Stardust, to pay back Carlo.
Anna, I know what she means to you.
But it's time to be practical.
I'll talk to papa, about mortgaging the farm.
Forget about it, time being.
No Gino ! Don't, Poletti wise it's a good dream.
I talk to George about investing.
Make him a partner.
Oh really ? You'd do that ? I think he'd love it.
We'll do things properly.
Maybe I'll even take advice.
I just want us to make each other happy.
Tell me what I gotta do, I do anything, bella.
You have to keep talking, Okay, being honest like we are now.
As long as we're together, we'll be happy.
Yes ? Yes.
Were you planning on leaving a note ? I really should go.
Here I am.
Carolyn, what would you say, if I .
.
if I told you, I might go away ? On a trip.
Send me a postcard ? Luxor ? With Mr Goddard.
Douglas.
Tell me if you think I shouldn't go.
What will happen, if you don't go ? Oh, it's such a bold decision.
They are the best.
They're the ones, that make our lives sparkle.
If I were to go, would you tell George ? He'll disapprove, I know.
Mother, no matter what anybody will think, you'll regret it so much, if you don't go.
And you'd be alright ? Yes, I promise.
Mother, you wanted to see me ? I wanted to let you know, I'm returning to Sydney.
- As you wish.
- George.
Be strong, stay strong.
Yes, mother.
Wel,l I must be going.
Thank you both.
Is she alright ? I think she's on top of the world.
Come here.
Let me get rid of whoever that is.
Yes ! I'd like to speak to my husband.
Excuse me ! Mrs Bligh.
Mrs Bligh ! Livvie, Livvie ! Livvie, WAIT ! Wait, let me explain ! Explain what ! I never meant for this to happen.
Tell me what it is, that you're doing here.
No.
No.
Wait, wait, WAIT ! Livvie.
You can't leave like this.
I need to think about what I want.
What you want ? This is MY marriage too.
What is it, bella ? Just don't be angry ? I won't, I promise.
Tell me.
I heard back from my publisher, I didn't think, I'd hear anything, but Someone wants your book ? Angus & Robertson.
They think I could be the voice of young women.
They want me to go down to Sydney, to meet with them.
Such an opportunity.
It's going to take a lot more work.
And .
.
after what I wrote about us.
Bella, you do what makes your heart sing.
Really ? Thank you darling.
Thank you, thank you.
Carolyn.
Perhaps we might talk ? I tried to telephone.
I need it.
I've come to talk to you about Sir Richard.
Well, I see.
Now, you've certainly taken your time, to tell me.
Tell you what ? His interest was clear.
Now yours is as well.
No, you don't understand.
That night you left my place, something happened.
He he .
.
forced himself, on me.
You were right about him.
I've been such a fool.
This is not your fault.
IT IS !! I had him in my apartment.
We were drinking.
He stays inside my head, and I.
.
I can't get him out and, I don't know how to make these.
.
scars go away ! The best of me .
.
has gone, Jack.
The best pieces and I don't know how to get them back.
Don't touch me, please.
He won't get away with it.
Dr Duncan.
Some men here, to see you.
Yeah, not now, right ? They're detectives.
Jack, what's going on? The police want a formal interview, by the end of the week.
The important thing is, we got Jack Chand on board.
Best criminal lawyer in Sydney.
Even if there isn't a criminal case to answer, my license is still at risk.
I had a word with Sir Richard, before you arrived.
I'm calling in a favour.
I don't want him involved.
He has valuable connections.
I said no.
You're asking me to help, Jack.
We didn't do anything illegal.
We ? You didn't mention someone else.
I didn't think it was important.
If there are other witnesses.
No, it's too compromising, to name them.
This is your future.
Jack.
When Sarah Nordmann was in Sydney, she met the girl.
Met someone, having a backyard abortion? Why would Sarah meet.
Ehm If you'll excuse me? George ! I have something rather difficult, I have to ask you.
Did you ever consider having .
.
an abortion ? I don't.
.
I don't know how to explain this to you.
How could you even think, of putting yourself in that situation ? To risk your health, your life ? Rene was sick.
I was alone.
And I didn't need to be consulted ? Even told there was a baby.
But I wasn't thinking about you.
I had no idea, where I would end up.
Please don't.
.
For God's sake, this is our child !! And it always will be.
George Bligh and his bastard Jew.
Be realistic.
- Don't say that.
- Why not ? Everyone else will.
You see ? You know it too.
There's no future.
How can there be ? Hello there.
Mrs Collins, Mrs Bligh.
My dear, you must call me Regina.
I was passing by and I thought, how nice would it be, to have a cup of tea, with one of our most valuable campaign volunteers.
I need your assistance.
Well, I pop the kettle on.
Oooh! I will always remember you.
Lloyd.
Thank you.
We're going on an adventure, are we ? Lizzie ! Are you there ? Huh ! You fancy a cuppa ? I must get on to Ash Park.
Apparently, I've become integral to the campaign.
The new Mrs Bligh came to see me.
She even helped me with this.
Well, she's a lot of things, but she's not silly.
She knows a good helper, when she sees one.
- This is for you.
- My tonic.
- Thank you, Doris.
- My pleasure.
You got a bit of ehm Goodness me ! It's the man himself ! Mr Bligh.
Well, if you'll excuse us.
Mrs Collins and I, have got some very important election business to take care of.
Come on, I'm driving.
Who cares what people think ? What they say.
I just wanna be with you.
Whatever was between us, George, you are a married Nothing else matters.
and equally unavailable.
We will be together, Sarah.
I promise you.
I was harsh before, I apologise.
Whatever it takes.
However long you need.
You will always be a part of this child's life.
However long you need.
I love you.
Where is my son ? I don't know.
I will have to go to the publisher between 3 and 4.
This doesn't look professional enough.
Imagine, the publisher wanted to see me.
And he mentioned a book launch and book signing.

The confidence, that we can give them to sustain and build our communities communities, that are the backbones of this region.
It's not the platform we decided on.
What's going on, Reggie ? Nothing that cannot be fixed ! Don't worry, you'll get your coalmine.
.
.
to be, your next member of parliament.
Thank you.
Thank you ! Mr Bligh, our patients would so love to meet you.
Apology, such a big schedule.
- It'll be my pleasure.
- Oh.
Marty ! This is Mr George Bligh.
- You been in the wars ? - Little closer, sister.
Isn't sister Nordmann a marvel ? I think, if anything is keeping her upright, it's MY handmade tonic.
Is that so ? I cannot understand, why you would take such a risk.
I'll speak with Sir Richard about my priorities.
The way you looked at her, it was obvious.
This feeling.
You're still in love with her.
My feelings are none of your concern.
To Sarah Nordmann, I give, devise and bequeath, finances held in trust, on behalf of our unborn child, for maintenance, education, advancement and benefit, reaching the age of 21.
One should always be up, for new experiences.
Get out, just leave it !! What on earth is going on ? You'll have to ask Mrs Bligh.
Regina ! Patrolling the halls.
How Dickensian, even for you.
Respect of you, Regina, is not going to be easy.
You mean my marriage? To the man I love ? And who loves me, in every way ! Yes, your hopes of annulment have been dashed.
In a quite spectacular fashion.
Then you have everything you want.
But still not satisfied.
- According to who ? - I see you.
Regina, I see who you are.
You are a wanton woman.
How sad you are.
The way you cling to this life, this family.
But only, because you have nothing else.
You're the one, who doesn't belong here.
You're the one, who has no place ! Your speech went well ? It was a clarifying experience.
Is there something on your mind ? George, I want you to promise me, to be careful, with Regina, she is so dangerously willful.
I'm not blind to Regina's ambitions.
You needn't worry about that.
It was nice to see Douglas back here, so soon.
You're changing the subject.
Attentive, isn't he ? He does tend toward the spontaneous.
How awful for you, mother.
And he's rather too fond of Tchaikovsky.
He makes you happy.
Douglas is a wonderful man.
And we all deserve a little happiness.
That's what HE says.
It's never too late.
Working hard, Gino ? Go home, James.
Look, I know what Anna's like.
She's hardheaded and practical.
She can't be told anything.
Don't talk about her like that.
That's fine, she's my sister.
I know her.
Please, Gino.
Put things right with her, be a good husband.
You're lecturing me on being a husband? That's rich.
What's that supposed to mean ? Forget about it.
No, I'm trying to talk to you and you don't even have the decency, to look me in the eye.
- Look, just leave ! - NO ! You used to be so easy-going, we've always got along.
Tell me what's changed.
I married a Bligh.
And that's such a hardship ? To be married to Anna, no.
- All that comes with it.
- What ? What are you talking about? The lies, the secrets.
No wonder people write such terrible things about your family.
What things ? Swanson wrote a letter to Anna.
About you, your wife and your son.
My son ? This is nonsense.
Alright, what did that pig Swanson say about him ? That he's not yours.
Well, that's not true.
You make amends with my sister, or you'll answer to me.
There you are.
James ? Whatever's the matter ? - James ? - I just saw Gino.
Swanson's letter, is it true ? They say, men like me can't father a child.
Is Georgie mine ?! - Why would you ever.
.
- Tell me !! How can you even question that ? You slept with Lloyd behind my back.
Perhaps you have a talent for deception.
And so you would trust Andrew Swanson's word over mine ? After everything we've been through ? Is that how little you think of me ? James, this is ludicrous.
Of course Georgie is yours.
He's OUR little boy.
JAMES ! Truce.
You're not joining me ? Why not .
In the car, we argued.
I regret that.
To teething problems.
You do trust me, don't you ? If you're having second thoughts about our arrangement ? Sarah Nordmann was not part of our arrangement.
I've made it clear.
Don't see her again.
Please ? There can only be two of us, in this marriage.
If it were to come out If what were to come out ? Think of your career.
The scandal, you would be a laughing stock.
People talk.
Who would tell these people ? If you're suggesting I will NOT be blackmailed by my wife ! That is NOT it.
Your mother has been in your ear, poisoning you against me.
My mother is not the poisoning type.
You, will play the role, that you have chosen.
You will smile and wave, and do what is asked.
And in return, you'll enjoy the benefits of your position.
But you will not question me.
Nor will you plot and connive against Mrs.
Nordmann.
Whatever your grievances.
Is that understood ? - George.
.
- Is that understood !!? Yes.
Very well.
I'm so glad, you've resumed your work.
I'm sure, it's for the best.
Mind you, it wouldn't have happened in my day.
It wouldn't have been allowed.
Confinement meant exactly that.
Women have more choices now.
Not as many, as we might like.
And few supported, even by other women.
But still, you do exactly as you see fit.
Regardless of what others think.
As do you.
Like this possible trip ? And yes, your immunisations are up to date.
Including cholera and typhoid ? Are you thinking of somewhere exotic ? Perhaps.
I do worry about leaving George.
He needs so much support, at the moment.
He has his wife for that.
From someone he can trust.
George was raised by you, Elizabeth.
He'll make the right decisions.
Eventually.
Perhaps.
Gino ! Anna.
Olivia told me, what you said to James.
How could you do that ? Do you know what you have done to them and how horrible it is ? There is no excuse.
I was angry.
I don't expect you, to forgive me.
But Anna, bella, wait.
Hey I'm sorry.
I am so so sorry.
I made so many mistakes with us, with James.
But I love you, bella.
More than anything.
We were so happy, once.
Can't we be again ? I don't know how ? I thought we were meeting at the club.
I was in the neighborhood, so.
.
Drink ? Thank you, you read my mind.
Well, we can talk about it.
Or NOT talk about it, up to you.
I wouldn't know where to start.
How about at the bottom of this ? I might seem quite mad.
Stark, raving.
I had to get away.
And here you are.
It's all getting a bit on top of me, I'm afraid.
What is ? The world is not gonna end, James.
Just let it out.
Just, let it out ! It has been brought to the Chamber's attention, that you may have been involved in unlawful conduct, with intend to administer an illegal abortion, resulting in the untimely death, of a patient.
Bella mia, bella ragazze.
Toast, café.
I can't believe I fell asleep.
I missed waking up next to you.
Let's never be apart like that.
No, we can't go on fighting, as we have.
We won't.
No more arguing about money, or anything.
I was thinking that we could sell Stardust, to pay back Carlo.
Anna, I know what she means to you.
But it's time to be practical.
I'll talk to papa, about mortgaging the farm.
Forget about it, time being.
No Gino ! Don't, Poletti wise it's a good dream.
I talk to George about investing.
Make him a partner.
Oh really ? You'd do that ? I think he'd love it.
We'll do things properly.
Maybe I'll even take advice.
I just want us to make each other happy.
Tell me what I gotta do, I do anything, bella.
You have to keep talking, Okay, being honest like we are now.
As long as we're together, we'll be happy.
Yes ? Yes.
Were you planning on leaving a note ? I really should go.
Here I am.
Carolyn, what would you say, if I .
.
if I told you, I might go away ? On a trip.
Send me a postcard ? Luxor ? With Mr Goddard.
Douglas.
Tell me if you think I shouldn't go.
What will happen, if you don't go ? Oh, it's such a bold decision.
They are the best.
They're the ones, that make our lives sparkle.
If I were to go, would you tell George ? He'll disapprove, I know.
Mother, no matter what anybody will think, you'll regret it so much, if you don't go.
And you'd be alright ? Yes, I promise.
Mother, you wanted to see me ? I wanted to let you know, I'm returning to Sydney.
- As you wish.
- George.
Be strong, stay strong.
Yes, mother.
Wel,l I must be going.
Thank you both.
Is she alright ? I think she's on top of the world.
Come here.
Let me get rid of whoever that is.
Yes ! I'd like to speak to my husband.
Excuse me ! Mrs Bligh.
Mrs Bligh ! Livvie, Livvie ! Livvie, WAIT ! Wait, let me explain ! Explain what ! I never meant for this to happen.
Tell me what it is, that you're doing here.
No.
No.
Wait, wait, WAIT ! Livvie.
You can't leave like this.
I need to think about what I want.
What you want ? This is MY marriage too.
What is it, bella ? Just don't be angry ? I won't, I promise.
Tell me.
I heard back from my publisher, I didn't think, I'd hear anything, but Someone wants your book ? Angus & Robertson.
They think I could be the voice of young women.
They want me to go down to Sydney, to meet with them.
Such an opportunity.
It's going to take a lot more work.
And .
.
after what I wrote about us.
Bella, you do what makes your heart sing.
Really ? Thank you darling.
Thank you, thank you.
Carolyn.
Perhaps we might talk ? I tried to telephone.
I need it.
I've come to talk to you about Sir Richard.
Well, I see.
Now, you've certainly taken your time, to tell me.
Tell you what ? His interest was clear.
Now yours is as well.
No, you don't understand.
That night you left my place, something happened.
He he .
.
forced himself, on me.
You were right about him.
I've been such a fool.
This is not your fault.
IT IS !! I had him in my apartment.
We were drinking.
He stays inside my head, and I.
.
I can't get him out and, I don't know how to make these.
.
scars go away ! The best of me .
.
has gone, Jack.
The best pieces and I don't know how to get them back.
Don't touch me, please.
He won't get away with it.
Dr Duncan.
Some men here, to see you.
Yeah, not now, right ? They're detectives.
Jack, what's going on? The police want a formal interview, by the end of the week.
The important thing is, we got Jack Chand on board.
Best criminal lawyer in Sydney.
Even if there isn't a criminal case to answer, my license is still at risk.
I had a word with Sir Richard, before you arrived.
I'm calling in a favour.
I don't want him involved.
He has valuable connections.
I said no.
You're asking me to help, Jack.
We didn't do anything illegal.
We ? You didn't mention someone else.
I didn't think it was important.
If there are other witnesses.
No, it's too compromising, to name them.
This is your future.
Jack.
When Sarah Nordmann was in Sydney, she met the girl.
Met someone, having a backyard abortion? Why would Sarah meet.
Ehm If you'll excuse me? George ! I have something rather difficult, I have to ask you.
Did you ever consider having .
.
an abortion ? I don't.
.
I don't know how to explain this to you.
How could you even think, of putting yourself in that situation ? To risk your health, your life ? Rene was sick.
I was alone.
And I didn't need to be consulted ? Even told there was a baby.
But I wasn't thinking about you.
I had no idea, where I would end up.
Please don't.
.
For God's sake, this is our child !! And it always will be.
George Bligh and his bastard Jew.
Be realistic.
- Don't say that.
- Why not ? Everyone else will.
You see ? You know it too.
There's no future.
How can there be ? Hello there.
Mrs Collins, Mrs Bligh.
My dear, you must call me Regina.
I was passing by and I thought, how nice would it be, to have a cup of tea, with one of our most valuable campaign volunteers.
I need your assistance.
Well, I pop the kettle on.
Oooh! I will always remember you.
Lloyd.
Thank you.
We're going on an adventure, are we ? Lizzie ! Are you there ? Huh ! You fancy a cuppa ? I must get on to Ash Park.
Apparently, I've become integral to the campaign.
The new Mrs Bligh came to see me.
She even helped me with this.
Well, she's a lot of things, but she's not silly.
She knows a good helper, when she sees one.
- This is for you.
- My tonic.
- Thank you, Doris.
- My pleasure.
You got a bit of ehm Goodness me ! It's the man himself ! Mr Bligh.
Well, if you'll excuse us.
Mrs Collins and I, have got some very important election business to take care of.
Come on, I'm driving.
Who cares what people think ? What they say.
I just wanna be with you.
Whatever was between us, George, you are a married Nothing else matters.
and equally unavailable.
We will be together, Sarah.
I promise you.
I was harsh before, I apologise.
Whatever it takes.
However long you need.
You will always be a part of this child's life.
However long you need.
I love you.
Where is my son ? I don't know.
I will have to go to the publisher between 3 and 4.
This doesn't look professional enough.
Imagine, the publisher wanted to see me.
And he mentioned a book launch and book signing.
