WEBVTT
00:13.745 --> 00:15.985
- Oh, give me land
- Walk!
00:16.065 --> 00:19.385
Lots of land under starry skies above
00:20.225 --> 00:23.025
Don't fence me in
00:23.105 --> 00:25.985
Let me ride
Through the wide open country…
00:26.065 --> 00:27.105
Whoa.
00:28.305 --> 00:31.785
Don't fence me in…
00:31.865 --> 00:36.625
"Dearest Gert,
our parents promised me freedom."
00:37.345 --> 00:41.945
"Instead, their debt
is now an albatross around my neck."
00:42.905 --> 00:44.745
But I ask you please
00:44.825 --> 00:48.145
Don't fence me in
00:49.585 --> 00:51.545
"I'm trying to find a match, I promise."
00:51.625 --> 00:55.225
"But the pickings
are most definitely slim."
00:57.385 --> 01:00.985
I was thinking we could have six children,
seven, maybe eight.
01:01.865 --> 01:04.505
Paucity and prayer, Miss Melvyn.
01:04.585 --> 01:06.585
That's what God demands.
01:06.665 --> 01:08.025
Trust me, Mr. Jobson,
01:08.105 --> 01:09.905
I've lived most of my life with paucity,
01:09.985 --> 01:12.665
and no amount of prayer
made it any more tolerable.
01:28.945 --> 01:31.945
Don't fence me in
01:33.425 --> 01:36.185
You have been busy, ladies.
01:36.265 --> 01:39.665
Sounds to me like you've had
every man in the district coming by.
01:39.745 --> 01:41.745
Sadly, none of them are suitable.
01:41.825 --> 01:44.825
I'm just sorry
that she's jeopardized her best prospect.
01:44.905 --> 01:46.505
You don't mean Harry, do you?
01:46.585 --> 01:50.945
Oh. Well, after your party,
I thought Harry was no longer an option.
01:51.025 --> 01:52.105
No, true.
01:52.185 --> 01:54.545
But I thought perhaps Frank Hawden.
01:54.625 --> 02:00.265
Oh. Yes, no, there's still a chance there,
I hope. But Sybylla needs to get cracking.
02:00.345 --> 02:01.745
Why the rush?
02:01.825 --> 02:03.945
Uh, Richard.
02:04.025 --> 02:06.785
- He's got them into more trouble.
- Naturally.
02:06.865 --> 02:10.145
The interest's bad, but if they don't pay
that loan within the year,
02:10.225 --> 02:12.145
they could lose everything.
02:12.225 --> 02:15.145
Who could have imagined such a life
for poor Lucy?
02:16.065 --> 02:17.465
Breaks my heart.
02:17.545 --> 02:20.625
Well, she's made her bed.
She must lie in it.
02:22.425 --> 02:24.945
Where is Sybylla? Huh?
02:25.665 --> 02:27.985
I was so hoping to see her today.
02:30.305 --> 02:32.305
The postmaster was telling me
all about Empire Day.
02:32.385 --> 02:33.945
Apparently, the whole district stops.
02:34.025 --> 02:36.665
- Plays something called two-up.
- Gambling?
02:37.305 --> 02:40.265
Yes. I was hoping someone
would teach me how to play.
02:40.345 --> 02:43.625
It's heads or tails and losing your money.
That's the way my papa plays it.
02:43.705 --> 02:46.905
There'll also be an egg-and-spoon race.
Do you need those rules explained?
02:50.585 --> 02:51.905
Is it from one of your suitors?
02:51.985 --> 02:54.465
Just because I'm too poor and feral
for you, Mr. Hawden,
02:54.545 --> 02:58.305
please don't assume that I have no life
beyond my granny's marriage schemes.
02:58.385 --> 03:02.225
Look, I… can't change
the fact you overheard me that night.
03:02.305 --> 03:03.985
Given we're not on one another's list,
03:04.065 --> 03:05.785
is there a world
where we're something else?
03:05.865 --> 03:06.905
Like what?
03:07.425 --> 03:08.385
What about pals?
03:10.465 --> 03:11.465
Friends?
03:12.665 --> 03:15.145
- Muckers, anything.
- I'll think about it.
03:16.425 --> 03:18.585
- Now, can I?
- May I?
03:20.185 --> 03:21.585
Dear Syb.
03:21.665 --> 03:23.145
There's been such a kerfuffle.
03:23.225 --> 03:24.945
Nuh-uh, absolutely no.
03:25.025 --> 03:27.825
- Not the desk.
- What about the piano?
03:28.665 --> 03:30.145
I'll take it as collateral.
03:30.225 --> 03:32.905
You default again next month,
we'll be back for more.
03:34.985 --> 03:36.745
No!
03:36.825 --> 03:40.145
- We lost our piano.
- That's a rather large object to misplace.
03:41.745 --> 03:42.745
And a terrible joke.
03:43.705 --> 03:44.705
Yes.
03:44.785 --> 03:47.465
I'll do better, comrade.
03:49.545 --> 03:51.785
Spring already, can you believe it?
03:51.865 --> 03:53.145
Here, these are for you.
03:53.225 --> 03:56.305
- Will we see you at Empire Day?
- I'm gonna sit this one out.
03:56.385 --> 04:01.105
- She's against the Empire.
- I'm not. Thomas Wynne's brass band…
04:01.185 --> 04:03.225
- Now that you mention it.
- You've got to come.
04:03.305 --> 04:04.825
I will, but I have been thinking.
04:04.905 --> 04:06.865
Why not have a break
from this husband search
04:06.945 --> 04:09.585
and send Sybylla to me at Five Bob,
just until Empire Day?
04:09.665 --> 04:11.505
- No. We couldn't impose.
- Please, Winifred.
04:11.585 --> 04:15.545
I'm heartbroken about Lucy,
and I think I could help.
04:15.625 --> 04:19.305
Well, that's very kind of you,
but you have no experience of young women.
04:19.385 --> 04:22.785
In my work at the Women's League,
we're helping fallen women from the city.
04:22.865 --> 04:24.105
My granddaughter's not fallen.
04:25.185 --> 04:26.985
Oh.
04:27.065 --> 04:28.705
Are you all right?
04:29.785 --> 04:30.985
I'm fine.
04:31.585 --> 04:33.785
A little sophistication
wouldn't go astray.
04:33.865 --> 04:34.945
I insist.
04:36.465 --> 04:37.345
And who knows,
04:37.425 --> 04:40.865
maybe some distance might make
Frank Hawden's heart grow fonder.
04:40.945 --> 04:42.625
Hi.
04:43.425 --> 04:44.425
Mrs. Bossier.
04:45.465 --> 04:46.465
Ladies.
04:46.985 --> 04:48.465
- Good morning.
- Morning.
04:54.985 --> 04:58.785
The ambience was overrated
At the party
04:58.865 --> 05:01.945
I want to run away
Before it's even started…
05:02.025 --> 05:04.065
Yoo-hoo!
05:05.905 --> 05:08.465
Can't find my friends
So I just take a bit more
05:08.545 --> 05:09.825
A bit more
05:09.905 --> 05:12.585
A bit more, a bit more, a bit more…
05:20.665 --> 05:23.505
Hello. Follow me.
05:23.585 --> 05:26.825
We all go again
05:26.905 --> 05:28.905
More
05:34.865 --> 05:36.865
Thank you, Mrs. Klein.
05:36.945 --> 05:39.425
Your new stray cat.
05:39.985 --> 05:43.785
She's a darling once you get to know her.
She was married to the head gardener.
05:43.865 --> 05:45.825
Been here for about 100 years. She's deaf,
05:45.905 --> 05:48.385
but that doesn't stop her
from hearing about everything.
05:49.665 --> 05:54.345
Now, Chinese people believe
it's bad luck to wear shoes in the house.
05:54.425 --> 05:57.945
Harry's mother insisted,
so we keep the tradition.
05:58.025 --> 05:59.505
Your slippers.
06:03.985 --> 06:06.185
This is my favorite room.
06:06.905 --> 06:08.105
Hal thinks it's too much,
06:08.185 --> 06:10.425
but I like to think
I've afternoonified it.
06:12.545 --> 06:16.545
Granny says I have to start by apologizing
for making a scene at your party.
06:16.625 --> 06:20.985
Oh, yes. Modern poetry at Caddagat.
06:21.065 --> 06:25.145
The bush as a metaphor
for verboten passion.
06:26.265 --> 06:29.065
Why do you think I invited you?
06:29.145 --> 06:33.185
Come. Come. Come and sit. Oh.
06:33.265 --> 06:36.305
Now. Your aunt and grandmother told me
06:36.385 --> 06:38.825
all about the terrible situation
at Possum Gully.
06:38.905 --> 06:42.825
I am trying, but surely no one expects me
to marry someone I don't like.
06:42.905 --> 06:44.145
What about someone you do?
06:44.745 --> 06:47.225
- I'm yet to meet him, and I doubt I shall.
- Good.
06:47.305 --> 06:51.265
Because I have absolutely no intention
of marrying you off to anyone.
06:51.345 --> 06:53.945
But I do love your mother,
and I want to help,
06:54.025 --> 06:59.025
so I have one question, Sybylla,
and you must answer me honestly.
06:59.545 --> 07:03.065
Do you think you're a good writer?
07:04.945 --> 07:08.425
- Yes.
- Then you must write your way out of this.
07:08.505 --> 07:10.425
That is exactly what I wanna do.
07:10.505 --> 07:13.785
You need to create the right kind of thing
for the right publication.
07:13.865 --> 07:15.785
- I've been working on some poems.
- No, no.
07:15.865 --> 07:19.945
Even the best poetry
is a fast track to a wedding ring.
07:20.025 --> 07:25.425
No, we need stories that sell to men.
07:27.225 --> 07:29.025
I thought that you were a suffragist.
07:29.105 --> 07:33.345
What better way for women to get ahead
than by beating men at their own game.
07:34.105 --> 07:35.705
While you're here with me, Sybylla,
07:35.785 --> 07:39.945
you are going to write a story
and get it published.
07:40.025 --> 07:42.705
- Is it easy to get published?
- Not without contacts.
07:42.785 --> 07:45.945
But I can provide those,
as long as your work is good enough.
07:47.145 --> 07:50.065
All you have to do is write.
07:52.305 --> 07:54.105
What if Granny asks what I'm doing?
07:54.185 --> 07:58.705
I promised to teach you sophistication,
and so I shall.
08:11.185 --> 08:14.185
I could stay in here a whole lifetime.
08:14.265 --> 08:16.105
Not this one.
08:16.185 --> 08:20.385
Plenty of paper. Ink if you need it.
We'll discuss your ideas at dinner.
08:23.945 --> 08:26.145
Be bold, Sybylla.
08:26.225 --> 08:30.945
Think like a man.
Write like a man. Earn like a man.
09:00.305 --> 09:02.665
Comfortable?
09:07.585 --> 09:08.945
I'll get out of your way.
09:11.465 --> 09:14.825
That's a lot of books.
You planning on reading them all tonight?
09:14.905 --> 09:18.105
They're research.
I'm writing a story for Augusta.
09:18.185 --> 09:20.305
She does love a project.
09:21.265 --> 09:22.425
Wait.
09:26.705 --> 09:29.385
Did you, uh,
want to take the grapes with you?
09:29.465 --> 09:30.785
No, thank you.
09:31.825 --> 09:34.185
Ah. How about the desk?
09:34.265 --> 09:37.905
I'm fine. The advantage of coming from
a big family is I can write anywhere.
09:38.825 --> 09:39.905
Well, it must be nice.
09:40.665 --> 09:43.145
- Poverty?
- I meant siblings.
09:43.225 --> 09:45.905
Well, they're often underfoot.
09:46.505 --> 09:48.785
Let me help you.
10:23.665 --> 10:28.185
"To Harry on his 12th birthday.
Enjoy the adventure, my lad. Dad."
10:29.025 --> 10:31.065
Do you have a moment?
10:31.825 --> 10:32.825
Yes.
10:38.585 --> 10:41.065
I believe there are some items
that are so precious
10:41.145 --> 10:42.345
we cannot own them.
10:42.425 --> 10:44.585
We are merely their custodians.
10:47.625 --> 10:48.625
For you.
10:50.705 --> 10:53.425
May she bring you comfort and inspiration.
10:59.585 --> 11:00.905
Augusta.
11:08.985 --> 11:11.705
She was made
by one of my Women's League girls.
11:11.785 --> 11:15.025
She'd be considered a genius
if women's crafts were taken seriously.
11:15.785 --> 11:17.985
This is my new favorite thing.
11:18.065 --> 11:20.345
Speaking of, how's our story coming along?
11:21.385 --> 11:24.465
- I think I have our hero.
- Tell me.
11:24.545 --> 11:27.985
His name is Reggie Silverton.
He's a bushranger.
11:28.505 --> 11:30.985
There are wanted posters everywhere, but…
11:32.025 --> 11:33.745
no one dobs him in to the coppers.
11:33.825 --> 11:36.265
Because he's sharing everything he steals.
11:36.345 --> 11:39.505
Oh. Like Robin Hood.
I love him already. Don't stop.
11:48.985 --> 11:50.265
Don't stop.
12:01.705 --> 12:06.145
Reggie pulls up to a tavern near Goulburn,
and a stranger pays for his dinner.
12:06.225 --> 12:08.105
That's where he meets his accomplice.
12:08.185 --> 12:10.945
A double act. How interesting.
12:13.105 --> 12:14.025
Just what we need.
12:14.825 --> 12:16.225
Only she's a girl.
12:16.305 --> 12:19.625
Now that is a delicious twist.
12:19.705 --> 12:21.745
Don't you think, Mrs. Klein?
12:23.225 --> 12:24.705
Spritz Rosso, Harry?
12:24.785 --> 12:28.145
I'm teaching Sybylla how to make them
for her first gondola ride.
12:28.225 --> 12:29.425
Well, how could I say no?
12:29.505 --> 12:33.625
- "It's all one drinks when in Venice."
- Is that supposed to be me?
12:35.665 --> 12:40.305
We were just discussing
Sybylla's female bushranger.
12:40.385 --> 12:41.705
A friend of yours?
12:45.345 --> 12:46.345
I made her up.
12:47.185 --> 12:49.465
But there's a girl at Caddagat,
Nell Kirby.
12:49.545 --> 12:51.665
I know Nell. Excellent horsewoman.
12:51.745 --> 12:54.025
Exactly. She's my inspiration.
12:54.105 --> 12:56.065
But let's not call her Nell.
She'll kill me.
12:56.145 --> 12:58.385
- I'm calling her Cora.
- Far safer.
12:58.985 --> 13:00.585
No one crosses Nell.
13:01.825 --> 13:06.785
- More Rosso, less spritz for me, Gus.
- Hey, go away. You're ruining my recipe.
13:07.665 --> 13:10.065
So?
13:11.265 --> 13:14.865
Venice in a glass. I think.
13:14.945 --> 13:17.665
What are you laughing at?
You've never been there either.
13:17.745 --> 13:19.065
Well, you never took me.
13:19.145 --> 13:22.065
Because you never want
to leave Five Bob, Hal. Hm?
13:22.145 --> 13:23.145
Fair.
13:24.825 --> 13:29.625
But Venice is my favorite city.
It's so mysterious.
13:30.185 --> 13:31.345
Secretive.
13:32.425 --> 13:34.585
It's like nothing you've ever seen before.
13:34.665 --> 13:36.745
I've never even seen the ocean.
13:42.985 --> 13:46.105
But this is transporting.
13:51.385 --> 13:55.545
Months of summer scorch the start of 1900.
13:56.265 --> 13:57.785
The sun beat down the earth
13:57.865 --> 14:00.945
with the same careless brutality
as the banks.
14:01.465 --> 14:05.945
Reggie Silverton was known
to the wind and telegraph poles alike.
14:06.985 --> 14:12.025
He was a distinctive man,
his manner set by hard work and resolve.
14:18.665 --> 14:20.025
Need a hand?
14:21.985 --> 14:22.985
I'm good.
14:36.305 --> 14:38.825
Great. Twenty-eight more to go.
14:43.265 --> 14:45.505
Your wages.
14:51.025 --> 14:54.185
- Why aren't you married?
- Ease a man into it.
14:56.465 --> 14:59.265
I don't even care
about the answer to that question.
15:00.145 --> 15:03.945
It's been a treat to be here
and not think about it all for a change.
15:06.585 --> 15:09.945
I wanted to say something
about Gussie's birthday.
15:12.265 --> 15:13.385
I could blame Hawden,
15:13.465 --> 15:16.025
but it was beneath both of us
to talk about you like that.
15:18.305 --> 15:19.305
It's all right.
15:21.465 --> 15:24.825
I actually found it quite inspiring.
15:28.465 --> 15:29.905
"Delicious."
15:30.825 --> 15:31.825
"Ticklish."
15:31.905 --> 15:34.345
"Like an ant under scribbly bark."
15:34.425 --> 15:38.185
- It's so weird coming from you. No.
- "Seeking secret places."
15:38.265 --> 15:40.225
Stop! Stop!
15:40.305 --> 15:42.385
Stop.
15:44.065 --> 15:47.425
- How do you even remember that?
- How could I forget?
15:47.505 --> 15:50.145
Mrs. Bossier was standing right there.
I didn't know where to look.
15:54.065 --> 15:55.665
Helen tells me you're an orphan.
15:56.305 --> 15:57.705
I am an orphan.
15:58.265 --> 16:01.945
My father died when I was 12,
and my mum just after I was born.
16:03.825 --> 16:04.945
Sounds lonely.
16:05.665 --> 16:07.905
No. Have you met my aunt?
16:13.225 --> 16:14.945
Your mother was from China, yes?
16:15.585 --> 16:16.905
How could you tell?
16:24.985 --> 16:25.985
I'm a Beecham.
16:27.385 --> 16:29.585
Three generations on this place.
16:30.105 --> 16:31.545
And I'm not going anywhere.
16:39.945 --> 16:42.945
Reggie stopped for the night
at a lonely tavern.
16:43.025 --> 16:45.905
Had barely touched his glass
when she arrived.
16:45.985 --> 16:47.505
Called herself…
16:47.585 --> 16:48.825
Cora.
16:51.825 --> 16:55.105
Cora… is on the run.
16:55.905 --> 16:57.505
Just like Reggie.
16:58.825 --> 17:00.185
Now, that's good.
17:20.585 --> 17:26.465
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
17:26.985 --> 17:32.785
Parsley, sage Rosemary, and thyme
17:54.505 --> 18:00.305
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
18:02.425 --> 18:09.105
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
18:11.865 --> 18:16.745
And gather it all
In a bunch of heather…
18:16.825 --> 18:19.305
Charlie!
18:19.385 --> 18:21.585
- Who's that?
- G'day, missus.
18:21.665 --> 18:25.305
Charlie. He's just brought a mob of sheep
down from our Queensland property.
18:25.385 --> 18:29.705
- You have another property?
- Whyambeet. I never go. It's very dry.
18:29.785 --> 18:33.745
He and Harry grew up together.
They're very close. Hm.
18:35.705 --> 18:38.225
Harry's different to what I expected.
18:38.305 --> 18:40.665
He's more himself when he's at home.
18:40.745 --> 18:43.105
Oh, they came!
18:48.185 --> 18:50.265
Thank you, Mrs. Klein.
18:50.345 --> 18:52.665
Such extravagance.
18:56.825 --> 18:58.705
I had them shipped in especially.
18:59.665 --> 19:02.665
If you can't visit the ocean,
you should at least taste it.
19:02.745 --> 19:04.505
Oysters.
19:05.025 --> 19:07.825
A powerful aphrodisiac.
19:08.705 --> 19:12.465
Independent women can take lovers
without the bother of a husband,
19:12.545 --> 19:15.025
so this is very important information.
19:16.385 --> 19:19.305
Some people say you should eat it whole.
19:19.385 --> 19:23.425
But I think it's best
to chew once or twice and then swallow.
19:23.505 --> 19:24.865
Are you ready?
19:56.425 --> 19:57.425
Me again?
19:59.905 --> 20:03.625
I taught this game to the third cousin
of Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria.
20:03.705 --> 20:06.185
- Not to name-drop or anything.
- Oh! There's the queen.
20:06.945 --> 20:09.145
Ha! It appears you're heartless, Harry.
20:09.225 --> 20:10.425
Oh! She's got you pegged.
20:10.505 --> 20:12.065
You two are ganging up on me.
20:12.145 --> 20:15.825
Oh, you've never been any good at cards.
He's completely unable to bluff.
20:15.905 --> 20:18.345
Whatever you see on his face
is exactly what he's thinking.
20:18.425 --> 20:20.025
I think I'd already worked that one out.
20:22.825 --> 20:24.305
I'm out.
20:24.385 --> 20:27.025
Uh, no, we're
in the middle of a hand, Hal.
20:27.105 --> 20:29.585
- You're such a bad loser.
- It's not because I'm losing.
20:29.665 --> 20:31.265
Someone has to work around here.
20:31.345 --> 20:36.145
What do you think this is?
It's sophistication training. Hm.
20:36.225 --> 20:38.745
For when you meet
the third cousin of Prince Fernando.
20:38.825 --> 20:40.025
It's Ferdinand.
20:40.625 --> 20:43.545
And you never know.
Go on, then, if you're leaving.
20:44.185 --> 20:45.865
I'll see you both at dinner.
20:51.105 --> 20:53.145
You're thinking about him, aren't you?
20:54.265 --> 20:55.945
Reggie Silverton.
20:56.985 --> 20:58.785
No, it's still Cora.
20:59.345 --> 21:00.825
Reggie makes sense to me.
21:00.905 --> 21:03.585
The bank ruined his family,
he wants revenge.
21:03.665 --> 21:06.905
But why does Cora
risk everything to be with him?
21:07.905 --> 21:09.025
What would Nell do?
21:10.145 --> 21:12.465
She's such a closed book.
21:12.545 --> 21:15.505
I don't even know if she likes me,
let alone what motivates her.
21:15.585 --> 21:20.785
I met Rudyard Kipling in London
a few years ago.
21:20.865 --> 21:22.745
God, amazing mustache.
21:23.265 --> 21:26.665
He maintained
that you cannot write an adventure
21:26.745 --> 21:28.625
without a little character study.
21:38.625 --> 21:39.905
This feed bill is high.
21:39.985 --> 21:42.465
There's nothing left
for the horses to graze on.
21:43.025 --> 21:44.745
This is curious.
21:45.265 --> 21:46.865
Augusta Beecham has sent a note
21:46.945 --> 21:49.825
saying she wants us
to send Nell over to Five Bob for the day.
21:49.905 --> 21:51.505
- Why Nell?
- Oh.
21:51.585 --> 21:54.825
Sybylla's told them all about the colt.
They want to see him.
21:54.905 --> 21:57.065
- Should I go with her?
- I don't think so.
21:57.145 --> 22:00.465
Sybylla and Harry
are having a nice time together.
22:00.545 --> 22:02.865
- This is good news.
- Isn't it?
22:02.945 --> 22:05.105
Should I leave it to you to inform Nell?
22:14.105 --> 22:15.185
It's odd.
22:15.265 --> 22:19.465
- Augusta's sudden interest in horses.
- Ten quid it's actually Beecham.
22:19.545 --> 22:22.225
Mother wouldn't mind.
She loves showing off her colt.
22:23.545 --> 22:24.865
It's more interesting to read
22:24.945 --> 22:27.505
that he seems to have
changed his mind about Sybylla.
22:29.345 --> 22:31.305
Do you think he's interested?
22:32.305 --> 22:34.305
She is fun, don't you think?
22:34.385 --> 22:35.865
When you get to know her.
22:35.945 --> 22:39.745
Definitely. It's fair to say
she's growing on all of us.
22:56.105 --> 22:57.105
Bit much.
22:58.625 --> 22:59.665
You lost?
23:02.225 --> 23:05.505
I… I'm looking for Sybylla.
She asked to see me.
23:05.585 --> 23:07.545
You must be that Nell
they're talking about.
23:07.625 --> 23:08.825
Might be.
23:09.425 --> 23:10.305
Charlie.
23:11.305 --> 23:13.025
Come on. Follow me.
23:18.905 --> 23:22.065
Mrs. Klein has been baking all morning.
23:22.145 --> 23:24.185
Do try the lamingtons.
23:24.265 --> 23:27.225
The cakes are good, but the oysters, Nell.
23:28.905 --> 23:32.505
Try it. It's like the ocean in your mouth.
23:33.745 --> 23:35.065
Uh, no.
23:35.625 --> 23:37.345
Uh, sorry.
23:38.265 --> 23:40.105
I'm not ocean people.
23:44.345 --> 23:48.345
I was telling Augusta
about how you're training Beau.
23:48.945 --> 23:51.225
Ah. Yeah. Uh…
23:51.745 --> 23:54.305
Mrs. Bossier's mare got loose
and ran with the brumbies,
23:54.385 --> 23:58.265
and, well, by the time we caught her,
she was already in foal.
23:58.345 --> 24:00.625
It was an accident, but a happy one.
24:00.705 --> 24:02.265
It's fascinating.
24:02.345 --> 24:04.025
Maybe Cora should ride a brumby.
24:04.105 --> 24:06.145
Yes. Tickety-boo.
24:07.345 --> 24:09.385
- Yeah, that one.
- I have a question.
24:10.265 --> 24:12.105
Would you ever consider wearing a dress?
24:12.185 --> 24:14.625
Specifically if you needed to be
in disguise?
24:14.705 --> 24:17.425
Oh, it'd be a shame to lose the trousers.
24:17.505 --> 24:20.385
They're such a signature look,
aren't they, Nell?
24:21.345 --> 24:23.705
Uh, I don't know.
24:23.785 --> 24:27.265
Dress, trousers…
Your mob brought them here.
24:27.345 --> 24:28.345
Ah.
24:28.425 --> 24:29.665
Why are you asking me?
24:29.745 --> 24:33.825
I'm writing a story,
and I based a character on you.
24:33.905 --> 24:35.465
You based a character on me?
24:35.545 --> 24:39.585
Not exactly you, Nell.
I changed her name. To Cora.
24:39.665 --> 24:40.505
Cora.
24:40.585 --> 24:42.505
You're my research.
24:44.025 --> 24:46.665
- They paying you for this story?
- That's the plan.
24:47.985 --> 24:49.385
And so what do I get out of it?
25:24.705 --> 25:25.825
What do you wanna know?
25:25.905 --> 25:27.385
- Horses or people?
- Horses.
25:27.465 --> 25:29.985
- Why don't you like people?
- High standards.
25:30.065 --> 25:33.025
- That is so good for Cora.
- Ah, yeah.
25:48.825 --> 25:49.905
Hm?
25:54.865 --> 25:56.545
You're looking pleased with yourself.
25:56.625 --> 26:00.225
Yeah, I just think about
how weird whitefellas are.
26:00.305 --> 26:02.185
True.
26:07.185 --> 26:09.065
You have… just…
26:13.065 --> 26:15.345
You going to that Empire Day
they're talking about?
26:15.425 --> 26:18.505
I don't know.
Empire's not really my thing.
26:19.545 --> 26:20.545
Why you ask?
26:21.345 --> 26:24.105
Don't know.
Thought maybe I'll see you there?
26:25.945 --> 26:27.185
Yeah, tickety-boo.
26:39.225 --> 26:40.545
"Tickety-boo."
26:44.545 --> 26:46.345
Cora strikes a hard deal.
26:47.745 --> 26:49.585
It's why she has no friends.
26:50.745 --> 26:52.545
It's why she follows Reggie.
26:53.265 --> 26:55.105
He's her first friend. Oh.
26:55.705 --> 26:56.785
Oh.
26:56.865 --> 26:58.225
I like it.
26:58.305 --> 27:02.425
Her hair was full of dust and defiance
as she walked towards him.
27:02.505 --> 27:05.785
They complement each other.
Opposites attract.
27:06.745 --> 27:08.505
He watched her with quiet caution
27:08.585 --> 27:11.945
as she crossed the room
like a stockman taking up a muster.
27:12.025 --> 27:14.865
When he asked what she offered in return,
she didn't blink.
27:15.985 --> 27:18.505
"Freedom," she said.
27:24.625 --> 27:27.545
- I thought a snake had bitten you.
- Clearly not.
27:28.945 --> 27:30.025
Wanna join?
27:31.505 --> 27:34.505
- What, so the snakes can get both of us?
- Come on, Harry.
27:34.585 --> 27:36.625
Change your perspective.
27:48.225 --> 27:50.945
- You think that cloud looks like a dog?
- Shh.
28:13.545 --> 28:15.265
I absolutely love it.
28:20.625 --> 28:22.785
- I'm worried about the ending.
- No. Don't change a thing.
28:22.865 --> 28:25.345
- Mrs. Klein, I know you're there!
- Oh.
28:26.545 --> 28:28.785
Take this. Put it in an envelope.
28:28.865 --> 28:32.105
We're going to take it into town
to give to my man at The Bulletin.
28:33.945 --> 28:35.945
You really think it's good enough?
28:36.905 --> 28:37.905
More than.
28:39.025 --> 28:40.785
I think it's marvelous.
28:42.225 --> 28:43.385
When can I read it?
28:44.785 --> 28:46.985
As soon as you buy
your own copy of The Bulletin.
28:48.025 --> 28:49.385
I subscribe.
28:49.465 --> 28:51.905
Not the point, Hal.
28:52.745 --> 28:55.265
Sybylla needs to be paid for her work.
28:55.345 --> 28:58.185
Now, you could do one thing.
28:58.265 --> 29:02.345
She's been cooped up all week.
Take her out and show her Five Bob.
29:04.945 --> 29:06.865
- Keep your eyes shut.
- Mm-hm.
29:06.945 --> 29:09.465
One step at a time. Stop.
29:10.625 --> 29:11.545
Open.
29:17.225 --> 29:19.025
This is splendid.
29:31.865 --> 29:33.625
It's my favorite place.
29:39.385 --> 29:40.985
Do I hear water?
29:43.785 --> 29:44.785
You do.
29:46.065 --> 29:47.625
Come on, Harry.
29:51.505 --> 29:52.985
Syb, wait up.
29:56.425 --> 29:58.305
Sounds like you found the water hole.
30:02.785 --> 30:04.025
Sybylla?
30:12.705 --> 30:13.985
Sybylla?
30:15.305 --> 30:16.305
Sybylla?
30:32.585 --> 30:34.065
Sybylla?!
30:34.865 --> 30:36.065
Oi!
30:37.145 --> 30:39.265
What took you so long?
30:44.145 --> 30:45.625
I thought you drowned.
30:45.705 --> 30:49.545
No way.
I've been swimming for three generations.
30:50.545 --> 30:52.105
It's not a joke.
30:57.345 --> 30:58.745
Harry!
30:59.825 --> 31:01.785
Hey. Harry!
31:02.985 --> 31:05.945
Harry, wait! I thought you'd laugh.
31:31.945 --> 31:33.185
You're trouble.
31:34.985 --> 31:37.265
You're definitely right about that.
32:25.905 --> 32:28.145
Is it strength or… or skill?
32:28.745 --> 32:29.745
Shall we see?
32:39.345 --> 32:40.345
Bring your arm up.
32:42.105 --> 32:44.545
Now let it fly. Keep your arm relaxed.
32:47.745 --> 32:49.465
Too much force.
32:50.105 --> 32:52.225
Let the weight of the arm do the work.
33:05.305 --> 33:06.305
Stand still.
33:12.505 --> 33:13.545
You trust me?
34:43.185 --> 34:44.825
Well, there you both are.
34:45.505 --> 34:49.225
Your mother's favorite.
I haven't heard that song in years.
34:50.745 --> 34:52.025
It's a lament.
34:52.985 --> 34:54.185
It is.
34:56.985 --> 34:58.785
Why is your hair wet, Sybylla?
34:59.625 --> 35:01.065
- I had a bath.
- We got caught in rain.
35:01.145 --> 35:04.105
There was a bit of rain, so I had a bath.
35:06.825 --> 35:07.825
How unusual.
35:18.305 --> 35:19.585
"Oh, Gert,
35:20.145 --> 35:23.305
I know I said that Harry Beecham
was the rudest man on earth, but…
35:24.465 --> 35:27.625
once you get to know him, he's funny."
35:28.985 --> 35:31.105
"And he's kind."
35:32.065 --> 35:33.665
"And he's smart."
35:35.505 --> 35:37.585
"You know I'm clueless when it comes to…"
36:11.625 --> 36:15.345
I seem to have missed some magical rain
this afternoon.
36:16.225 --> 36:18.425
Why don't you just come out
with it, Gussie?
36:18.505 --> 36:20.825
Fine, what do you think of Sybylla?
36:21.545 --> 36:24.545
- I think she's a nice girl.
- Don't lie to me, Hal.
36:24.625 --> 36:26.465
What do you want me to say?
36:27.105 --> 36:28.305
That I like her?
36:28.385 --> 36:31.345
That she's all I've thought about
for the past few days?
36:31.425 --> 36:36.025
- That she's completely turned my head?
- No, you can't. That's not why she's here.
36:36.105 --> 36:38.025
I know. She's your protégé.
36:38.105 --> 36:40.665
Harry, you can't get involved
with a girl like Sybylla.
36:40.745 --> 36:42.145
She is completely wrong.
36:42.945 --> 36:44.585
I'll make up my own mind.
36:46.305 --> 36:50.265
Well, your father made a choice,
which means that now, you don't get one.
36:50.945 --> 36:53.545
Because my mother was Chinese,
I have no choice?
36:53.625 --> 36:56.745
I'm saying that Sybylla
was not brought up in our world.
36:57.665 --> 37:00.225
And you need someone
who will make things easier for you.
37:00.305 --> 37:03.185
- The Bossiers are a good family.
- Right.
37:03.265 --> 37:08.865
And yet, she still ends up half-naked
in a swimming hole with an unmarried man.
37:08.945 --> 37:12.345
- This is ripe coming from you.
- It doesn't matter what I do.
37:12.425 --> 37:18.345
But everything, this house,
our farm, our family's legacy,
37:18.865 --> 37:21.465
all of it depends
on you making a good match,
37:21.545 --> 37:24.265
which, I might add,
I thought you already had.
37:24.345 --> 37:26.465
There is nothing there
that can't be undone.
37:27.585 --> 37:29.425
Oh, you're a fool.
37:30.065 --> 37:34.025
Sybylla Melvyn
will bring you nothing but trouble.
37:34.105 --> 37:35.625
You're wrong.
37:38.105 --> 37:39.585
Well, let's hope so.
37:40.185 --> 37:43.305
Because whatever you choose to do
affects us both.
38:10.025 --> 38:12.105
Mum won't believe it
when I tell her you came.
38:12.185 --> 38:14.545
Yeah, well, I'm not staying.
38:16.025 --> 38:18.585
Oi, you mob,
make sure you take it all down.
38:18.665 --> 38:19.905
Get all of it.
38:24.665 --> 38:27.425
- What are you smiling at baby face for?
- Just being nice.
38:27.505 --> 38:30.745
And he doesn't have a baby face.
He's okay.
38:31.745 --> 38:34.225
- You can't trust a copper, sis.
- I know.
38:34.305 --> 38:35.145
Hey, Nell.
38:36.705 --> 38:38.305
- Who's that?
- No one.
38:38.985 --> 38:41.305
- Works at Five Bob. His name's Charlie.
- Charlie!
38:41.385 --> 38:43.665
- Over here.
- Stop it. Shame job! Shame.
38:52.545 --> 38:53.705
Oh, uh…
38:53.785 --> 38:55.945
Charlie, my sister Betty.
38:56.025 --> 38:57.065
G'day, Betty.
38:57.825 --> 39:00.185
So I guess we now know
why this one's shown up today.
39:00.265 --> 39:02.585
Never been to an Empire Day before.
39:03.865 --> 39:06.985
Oh, you know…
Good chance to catch up with family.
39:08.825 --> 39:11.265
Yeah,
if that's what you want to call it, sis.
39:13.025 --> 39:14.785
Charlie, do you wanna come get a feed?
39:14.865 --> 39:16.585
You can tell us all about yourself.
39:17.305 --> 39:18.865
Yeah, I'd like that.
39:19.625 --> 39:20.625
Come on, then.
39:25.585 --> 39:30.705
And… what do the leaves have to say?
39:31.905 --> 39:34.025
No, of course it's just nonsense.
39:35.025 --> 39:38.905
Remember last year, Mrs. Klein predicted
that Julius would travel, and he did.
39:38.985 --> 39:42.145
- He was already on the boat.
- Well, she didn't know that.
39:43.665 --> 39:45.265
I see a rose.
39:45.345 --> 39:47.025
Oh! How lovely.
39:47.105 --> 39:49.745
Your rose will flower soon.
39:51.425 --> 39:56.185
Shush! Go away, all of you,
and enjoy yourselves somewhere else.
39:56.265 --> 39:59.545
- This is a sacred ritual, thank you.
- Go, Harry.
40:01.545 --> 40:03.305
- "A rose."
- Start at the beginning.
40:03.385 --> 40:04.905
And don't leave out anything.
40:10.545 --> 40:12.305
Place your bets! One more.
40:14.905 --> 40:19.425
Down you go. Place your bets. All right!
40:19.505 --> 40:20.665
Come in, spinner!
40:21.265 --> 40:22.705
- Heads.
- Tails.
40:22.785 --> 40:24.745
- Heads!
- This is marvelous.
40:24.825 --> 40:27.225
I'm finally seeing Australian culture.
40:27.305 --> 40:28.905
Fellas, all right. Place your bets.
40:28.985 --> 40:31.505
- This is no place for a woman.
- Ugh.
40:31.585 --> 40:34.225
- Come in, spinner!
- Now we're definitely going in, Harry.
40:34.745 --> 40:36.065
Sorry.
40:36.145 --> 40:38.625
- Excuse me. Mind your backs.
- Hey, watch it!
40:38.705 --> 40:41.065
One more. One more. One more.
40:41.665 --> 40:42.585
Bets down.
40:45.665 --> 40:48.945
Oh! But I thought you said it was a rose.
40:49.025 --> 40:51.705
Shh, shh, shh! Two bloodlines.
40:51.785 --> 40:54.505
One will flourish. One will not.
40:55.025 --> 40:56.585
Oh, how ominous.
40:56.665 --> 40:58.425
Oh. What does it mean?
41:00.985 --> 41:04.945
All right. All right. Get your bets ready.
41:05.025 --> 41:06.665
- Hey.
- Place your bets.
41:06.745 --> 41:09.065
- What are you doing?
- Saw Harry go in there.
41:09.145 --> 41:11.625
- We're not allowed in there.
- I know.
41:12.145 --> 41:13.225
Place your bets.
41:13.305 --> 41:15.425
- Come in, spinner.
- Here we go.
41:19.665 --> 41:21.265
All right, quick game.
41:24.065 --> 41:25.705
Come in, spinner.
41:26.665 --> 41:30.625
He's a long way from the diggings.
Maybe he lost all his gold.
41:31.225 --> 41:35.025
- Come in, spinner.
- Or maybe he doesn't speak English.
41:35.705 --> 41:38.545
- We should go, Sybylla.
- Harry, we just got to the front.
41:38.625 --> 41:40.625
I'm in the middle
of learning all the rules.
41:40.705 --> 41:43.865
You know, you can't trust him, miss.
Opium dens and all that.
41:45.385 --> 41:46.865
- Come in, spinner.
- Steady on.
41:48.345 --> 41:50.265
- What did you just say?
- Leave it, Sybylla.
41:51.785 --> 41:53.985
- Place your bets.
- This is Harry Beecham.
41:54.065 --> 41:56.705
- How dare you speak to him like that.
- Syb.
41:56.785 --> 42:01.425
Girls like that'll say anything
once they get 'em hooked on the pipe.
42:01.505 --> 42:03.265
Place your bets.
42:08.345 --> 42:09.265
Come on, let's go.
42:09.345 --> 42:14.265
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
42:17.985 --> 42:19.865
- There you are, Sergeant.
- Mr. Hawden.
42:19.945 --> 42:22.825
- The brutes are inside.
- Right. Okay.
42:22.905 --> 42:24.905
- Police!
- You've gotta go, both of you.
42:24.985 --> 42:26.905
She's right. That cop will be here soon.
42:26.985 --> 42:28.505
Let's go back to Five Bob.
42:28.585 --> 42:31.825
Harry. I'm so sorry.
42:40.865 --> 42:41.785
Hyah!
42:43.705 --> 42:44.785
Stop!
42:45.465 --> 42:47.825
We're not going there again.
How much do I owe you?
42:47.905 --> 42:50.785
A donation for the brass band.
42:51.905 --> 42:53.665
I'll give it on Helen's behalf.
43:04.745 --> 43:07.025
- Have we lost Harry?
- He left with Charlie.
43:07.105 --> 43:09.985
Ah. Well, walk with me, Sybylla.
43:10.065 --> 43:12.385
Girl talk, Frank.
43:16.105 --> 43:18.065
I have a confession.
43:18.145 --> 43:22.745
I… saw you all
rushing out of the two-up tent.
43:24.025 --> 43:25.985
Don't worry,
I won't tell your grandmother.
43:27.065 --> 43:28.825
It was disgusting.
43:29.665 --> 43:32.065
The way they spoke to Harry
like he was dirt,
43:32.585 --> 43:35.745
when the two of them
were just a pair of horrible drunks.
43:37.025 --> 43:39.665
It's not like Harry
to go into a place like that.
43:39.745 --> 43:42.345
It's not his fault. I insisted.
43:43.905 --> 43:44.905
I see.
43:47.265 --> 43:48.745
Well, you really must forgive him.
43:48.825 --> 43:52.665
He's so reckless
when he's away from Blanche for too long.
43:54.185 --> 43:55.185
Who's Blanche?
43:56.345 --> 43:58.345
Oh, his fiancée, of course.
44:00.185 --> 44:01.425
Harry's engaged?
44:01.505 --> 44:05.265
As good as.
They're promised to one another.
44:05.785 --> 44:09.785
We've been expecting an announcement,
but until then, we're keeping very quiet.
44:13.265 --> 44:15.145
He's never even mentioned her.
44:17.425 --> 44:19.625
Will you come back to Five Bob today?
44:23.185 --> 44:25.185
Do you mind if I go home
with my grandmother?
44:25.265 --> 44:26.865
Of course not.
44:28.145 --> 44:30.385
I'll have your things sent over.
44:32.785 --> 44:36.625
Fingers crossed
you get good news about your story soon.
44:38.865 --> 44:40.625
The most important thing to know
44:40.705 --> 44:46.185
is that you are
a very talented writer, my dear. Hm?
44:49.425 --> 44:51.145
Now, shall we continue?
44:53.585 --> 44:54.745
I'll come soon.
45:03.585 --> 45:07.705
Fallen for a guy
45:07.785 --> 45:11.425
Fell down from the sky
45:12.745 --> 45:13.905
Halo
45:14.785 --> 45:16.305
Round his head
45:16.385 --> 45:19.865
Feathers in our bed
