00:00:15.705 --> 00:00:16.825 align:center
I've been thinking,

00:00:16.905 --> 00:00:20.545 align:center
and I'm going to move the gray mare
in with the brumby again.

00:00:20.625 --> 00:00:23.105 align:center
After all, it was her bloodline
that produced Beau.

00:00:23.185 --> 00:00:25.385 align:center
- And we need to let it…
- …flourish.

00:00:25.465 --> 00:00:29.945 align:center
This has nothing to do
with Mrs. Klein's silly prediction.

00:00:30.665 --> 00:00:33.425 align:center
- The post, Mrs. Bossier.
- Oh, thank you, Betty.

00:00:37.785 --> 00:00:38.905 align:center
Oh, Sybylla.

00:00:38.985 --> 00:00:41.665 align:center
- There's post for you from <i>The Bulletin</i>.
- Yes.

00:00:45.545 --> 00:00:47.265 align:center
- May I be excused?
- Yes, yes, yes.

00:00:50.665 --> 00:00:51.705 align:center
Sorry, Betty!

00:00:52.345 --> 00:00:53.745 align:center
I don't know how many more

00:00:53.825 --> 00:00:56.745 align:center
sad breakfast faces I can bear.

00:00:56.825 --> 00:00:58.585 align:center
She'll bounce back.

00:00:59.145 --> 00:00:59.985 align:center
Look!

00:01:00.825 --> 00:01:01.905 align:center
A letter from Julius.

00:01:01.985 --> 00:01:05.065 align:center
- He remembers we're alive after all.
- Don't be petty, Helen.

00:01:11.025 --> 00:01:13.185 align:center
Did you know Julius knew Everard Grey?

00:01:13.785 --> 00:01:15.385 align:center
- The governor?
- That's Edward Grey.

00:01:15.465 --> 00:01:16.825 align:center
This is his nephew.

00:01:16.905 --> 00:01:19.225 align:center
Julius says that they met in London.

00:01:19.305 --> 00:01:22.065 align:center
- And they're traveling back together.
- Nice for some.

00:01:23.465 --> 00:01:26.025 align:center
Apparently he's told him
about my breeding program,

00:01:26.105 --> 00:01:28.585 align:center
and Everard might be interested
in buying the colt.

00:01:28.665 --> 00:01:30.425 align:center
Well, well, he's a smart man.

00:01:30.505 --> 00:01:32.665 align:center
Grey. Is that the same family
who owns the bank?

00:01:32.745 --> 00:01:33.745 align:center
Yes.

00:01:33.825 --> 00:01:37.305 align:center
And a very large cattle station
in New South Wales.

00:01:38.185 --> 00:01:39.865 align:center
Perhaps we found our match.

00:01:39.945 --> 00:01:42.025 align:center
For your colt <i>and </i>Sybylla.

00:01:42.105 --> 00:01:45.945 align:center
Yes, well, they do both deserve
to find the right person.

00:01:46.025 --> 00:01:48.345 align:center
This letter was written two months ago.

00:01:48.425 --> 00:01:50.705 align:center
I know. It's arrived quite quickly.

00:01:50.785 --> 00:01:53.145 align:center
- It says they're due today.
- Today, today?

00:01:54.025 --> 00:01:55.705 align:center
- Today.
- Today!

00:01:55.785 --> 00:01:57.265 align:center
Betty!

00:01:57.345 --> 00:02:01.625 align:center
<i>But if you see me there</i>

00:02:01.705 --> 00:02:06.225 align:center
<i>Oh, don't be so scared</i>

00:02:06.305 --> 00:02:08.185 align:center
<i>From that day…</i>

00:02:14.065 --> 00:02:17.705 align:center
<i>I'm just here to say that life is…</i>

00:02:17.785 --> 00:02:19.305 align:center
No, no.

00:02:19.865 --> 00:02:20.745 align:center
No!

00:02:21.425 --> 00:02:22.705 align:center
No.

00:02:23.225 --> 00:02:24.745 align:center
What's all this?

00:02:29.305 --> 00:02:30.345 align:center
"Dear Miss Melvyn,

00:02:30.425 --> 00:02:31.505 align:center
we regret to inform you

00:02:31.585 --> 00:02:34.585 align:center
that we won't be publishing
your story at this time."

00:02:34.665 --> 00:02:37.185 align:center
"Despite having
some clarity of expression…"

00:02:37.265 --> 00:02:38.905 align:center
They mean for a girl.

00:02:38.985 --> 00:02:41.865 align:center
"…the editors feel
that your story lacks veracity."

00:02:42.665 --> 00:02:47.025 align:center
Nell, if my story had a man's name on it,
they would never question my expertise.

00:02:47.625 --> 00:02:49.345 align:center
What did they think of Cora?

00:02:55.265 --> 00:02:59.625 align:center
"It seems unlikely
that a woman can possess so many skills"?

00:03:00.225 --> 00:03:01.625 align:center
Idiots.

00:03:01.705 --> 00:03:04.225 align:center
- Nell!
- Does that mean you're not getting paid?

00:03:04.305 --> 00:03:05.185 align:center
Correct.

00:03:05.265 --> 00:03:07.265 align:center
- Nellie!
- What are you gonna you do?

00:03:07.345 --> 00:03:09.585 align:center
- What do you do when you fall off a horse?
- Never have.

00:03:09.665 --> 00:03:10.905 align:center
You get right back up.

00:03:11.425 --> 00:03:13.625 align:center
- Why didn't you answer?
- I heard you coming.

00:03:13.705 --> 00:03:15.905 align:center
Your uncle is coming back,

00:03:15.985 --> 00:03:18.345 align:center
and he's bringing a friend
to set you up with.

00:03:19.065 --> 00:03:20.345 align:center
- How do you know?
- I listen.

00:03:20.865 --> 00:03:22.505 align:center
And he might buy that ugly fella.

00:03:22.585 --> 00:03:24.265 align:center
- I need more time.
- Me too.

00:03:24.345 --> 00:03:25.185 align:center
You've got none.

00:03:25.265 --> 00:03:28.025 align:center
He's coming today,
and they want you back at the house.

00:03:35.985 --> 00:03:38.545 align:center
This is a hurdle. It's not a finish line.

00:03:46.905 --> 00:03:48.985 align:center
Wait! Syb!

00:03:50.025 --> 00:03:53.505 align:center
So, we'll have roast lamb tonight
with your special mint sauce,

00:03:53.585 --> 00:03:54.705 align:center
followed by trifle.

00:03:54.785 --> 00:03:57.185 align:center
Julius prefers my custard apples.

00:03:57.265 --> 00:03:58.825 align:center
I have never heard him say that.

00:03:58.905 --> 00:04:01.585 align:center
He goes on about
Mrs. O'Brien's custard apples, Mother.

00:04:01.665 --> 00:04:03.705 align:center
We'll have apples tonight,
trifles tomorrow.

00:04:03.785 --> 00:04:06.185 align:center
And when you are done here,
check the bedrooms.

00:04:06.265 --> 00:04:07.865 align:center
Mrs. O'Brien, please.

00:04:09.505 --> 00:04:12.065 align:center
Did you do all this before I arrived?

00:04:17.105 --> 00:04:19.385 align:center
- So what's Julius like?
- Uh…

00:04:20.425 --> 00:04:21.665 align:center
He's fun.

00:04:22.185 --> 00:04:23.985 align:center
Mother's favorite, clearly.

00:04:24.545 --> 00:04:28.625 align:center
Even though he never stays at Caddagat
long enough to take it off her hands.

00:04:28.705 --> 00:04:30.985 align:center
She should give it to you.
You do all the work.

00:04:32.665 --> 00:04:33.985 align:center
Sons inherit.

00:04:36.865 --> 00:04:38.225 align:center
Men get everything.

00:04:39.545 --> 00:04:40.385 align:center
Syb.

00:04:42.625 --> 00:04:44.465 align:center
Did something happen at Five Bob?

00:04:44.545 --> 00:04:45.665 align:center
Why do you ask?

00:04:45.745 --> 00:04:47.945 align:center
Well, that cushion's taking a beating.

00:04:48.025 --> 00:04:50.825 align:center
Also, you've been a bit off
since you got back.

00:04:52.265 --> 00:04:53.505 align:center
Harry lied to me.

00:04:53.585 --> 00:04:56.465 align:center
If omission's a lie,
and I think we can all agree it is.

00:04:57.025 --> 00:04:58.025 align:center
He's engaged.

00:04:59.105 --> 00:05:00.345 align:center
Really?

00:05:00.425 --> 00:05:01.425 align:center
To whom?

00:05:01.505 --> 00:05:03.065 align:center
Her name's Blanche.

00:05:03.145 --> 00:05:04.345 align:center
Blanche who?

00:05:04.865 --> 00:05:08.345 align:center
They haven't made the announcement,
but Augusta says it'll be any day now.

00:05:13.785 --> 00:05:15.225 align:center
I'm so sorry.

00:05:15.745 --> 00:05:16.905 align:center
Did you have feelings?

00:05:17.865 --> 00:05:18.865 align:center
Why do you say that?

00:05:19.905 --> 00:05:21.705 align:center
Well, otherwise, why would you care?

00:05:24.385 --> 00:05:26.945 align:center
We will find someone to match your spirit.

00:05:27.585 --> 00:05:29.305 align:center
He just has to be a good man.

00:05:30.785 --> 00:05:32.025 align:center
How can you tell?

00:05:33.865 --> 00:05:35.345 align:center
That's why I'm here.

00:05:36.945 --> 00:05:39.305 align:center
Does anyone in this house
still read the post?

00:05:39.385 --> 00:05:40.225 align:center
Helen!

00:05:41.065 --> 00:05:42.065 align:center
Mother!

00:05:42.585 --> 00:05:43.945 align:center
Anyone home?

00:05:47.945 --> 00:05:49.745 align:center
There she is.

00:05:49.825 --> 00:05:51.985 align:center
Hells Bells!

00:05:52.785 --> 00:05:55.505 align:center
- Ah!
- You can put me down. Put me down!

00:05:56.065 --> 00:05:58.585 align:center
- Did you miss me?
- It's been quieter without you.

00:05:58.665 --> 00:06:02.025 align:center
Then I've arrived just in time
to save you from Mother.

00:06:02.105 --> 00:06:04.465 align:center
Promises, promises.

00:06:04.545 --> 00:06:05.585 align:center
- Nellie, hey!
- Julius!

00:06:05.665 --> 00:06:06.825 align:center
- Great to see you!
- Hey.

00:06:06.905 --> 00:06:07.745 align:center
Julius.

00:06:07.825 --> 00:06:08.825 align:center
Oh!

00:06:09.985 --> 00:06:13.945 align:center
- The Queen of Caddagat.
- Don't be silly, Julius.

00:06:14.025 --> 00:06:16.505 align:center
- My darling.
- Aw.

00:06:16.585 --> 00:06:18.345 align:center
Ev! What are you doing back there?

00:06:18.425 --> 00:06:20.465 align:center
- Come and meet the family.
- Yep.

00:06:24.425 --> 00:06:25.385 align:center
Mrs. Bossier.

00:06:26.705 --> 00:06:27.665 align:center
Everard Grey.

00:06:28.185 --> 00:06:29.905 align:center
Oh.

00:06:30.945 --> 00:06:33.265 align:center
These are just chocolates,
but they are from Paris.

00:06:34.425 --> 00:06:37.265 align:center
<i>J'adore </i>French chocolates.

00:06:39.665 --> 00:06:40.505 align:center
Ladies.

00:06:40.585 --> 00:06:42.825 align:center
Welcome to Caddagat, Mr. Grey.

00:06:42.905 --> 00:06:44.145 align:center
Please, call me Everard.

00:06:44.665 --> 00:06:46.865 align:center
And who is this?

00:06:46.945 --> 00:06:48.945 align:center
Do you read our letters? It's Sybylla.

00:06:49.465 --> 00:06:50.625 align:center
Lucy's girl.

00:06:51.145 --> 00:06:51.985 align:center
Sybylla.

00:06:52.065 --> 00:06:54.625 align:center
Well, what a surprise.

00:06:56.345 --> 00:06:57.465 align:center
Wow.

00:06:57.985 --> 00:06:58.985 align:center
Now I'm looking at you,

00:06:59.065 --> 00:07:02.105 align:center
I can see a lot of Lucy
hiding away behind those eyes.

00:07:02.185 --> 00:07:03.985 align:center
What is that? Some mischief?

00:07:04.065 --> 00:07:06.985 align:center
It's mostly concealed fury.

00:07:07.065 --> 00:07:09.065 align:center
So much of Lucy.
Where is she? Is she here?

00:07:09.145 --> 00:07:10.505 align:center
No, just Sybylla.

00:07:11.705 --> 00:07:14.705 align:center
Let's go inside.
You must take us as we come, Everard.

00:07:14.785 --> 00:07:16.345 align:center
You're in the country now.

00:07:23.705 --> 00:07:25.545 align:center
It's good to be home.

00:07:25.625 --> 00:07:27.865 align:center
Absolutely delicious, Mrs. O'Brien.

00:07:27.945 --> 00:07:29.905 align:center
I've been dreaming of your lamb roast
for months.

00:07:29.985 --> 00:07:32.625 align:center
Well, you can't trust those Italians.

00:07:32.705 --> 00:07:34.305 align:center
I couldn't agree more.

00:07:34.385 --> 00:07:36.465 align:center
There's an ambush of garlic in every meal.

00:07:36.545 --> 00:07:38.785 align:center
- Why's he so loud?
- Never in my kitchen.

00:07:38.865 --> 00:07:40.625 align:center
That's a tremendous comfort to me.

00:07:40.705 --> 00:07:42.825 align:center
- Julius, stop shouting.
- Stop!

00:07:42.905 --> 00:07:45.105 align:center
Ah. I grew up in a barn.

00:07:45.185 --> 00:07:46.905 align:center
That's why the opera's wasted on you.

00:07:46.985 --> 00:07:48.545 align:center
- Opera wasted on <i>me</i>?
- Yes.

00:07:48.625 --> 00:07:50.745 align:center
No. My travels have changed me, Helen.

00:07:50.825 --> 00:07:52.225 align:center
- I--
- I adore opera.

00:07:52.305 --> 00:07:53.225 align:center
- No.
- I do.

00:07:53.305 --> 00:07:55.305 align:center
- What?
- In fact…

00:07:55.385 --> 00:07:56.425 align:center
Oh no.

00:07:56.505 --> 00:07:59.105 align:center
- Stop.
- It's come over me.

00:07:59.185 --> 00:08:00.025 align:center
Julius!

00:08:04.985 --> 00:08:06.105 align:center
Rupture a lung.

00:08:06.745 --> 00:08:08.385 align:center
I miss the theater in London.

00:08:08.465 --> 00:08:10.065 align:center
<i>You </i>like the theater?

00:08:10.145 --> 00:08:11.425 align:center
Always underestimating me.

00:08:11.505 --> 00:08:13.425 align:center
I've just invested
in a new theater in Sydney.

00:08:13.505 --> 00:08:14.985 align:center
- Really?
- Mmm.

00:08:15.065 --> 00:08:17.185 align:center
It's called the Alhambra. It's very grand.

00:08:17.265 --> 00:08:19.705 align:center
We'll stage operas for Julius.

00:08:20.945 --> 00:08:22.465 align:center
And Australian plays.

00:08:22.545 --> 00:08:23.985 align:center
Australian storytelling.

00:08:24.505 --> 00:08:26.705 align:center
Exactly. Our stories on the stage.

00:08:26.785 --> 00:08:28.505 align:center
And people will pay for that?

00:08:28.585 --> 00:08:30.145 align:center
I hope they'll come in droves.

00:08:30.665 --> 00:08:33.185 align:center
Perhaps even you'll want to come
to my place, Mrs. B.

00:08:33.265 --> 00:08:34.225 align:center
- "Mrs. B"?
- We'll see.

00:08:34.305 --> 00:08:37.945 align:center
I'm still not convinced
the theater is a respectable place for me.

00:08:38.025 --> 00:08:40.225 align:center
It's a new century.
Times are changing, Mother.

00:08:41.145 --> 00:08:44.265 align:center
- In fact, would you play us a ragtime, Ev?
- Oh.

00:08:44.345 --> 00:08:46.705 align:center
- Please.
- Please?

00:08:47.305 --> 00:08:48.505 align:center
May I?

00:08:49.185 --> 00:08:50.985 align:center
Why not? Why not?

00:08:51.505 --> 00:08:52.345 align:center
Twist my arm.

00:08:52.425 --> 00:08:54.385 align:center
- You'll love this.
- Really?

00:08:54.465 --> 00:08:57.105 align:center
- It's popping up over Europe.
- I hope the piano's in tune.

00:09:10.225 --> 00:09:11.705 align:center
Julius!

00:09:15.025 --> 00:09:16.025 align:center
Yes!

00:09:16.905 --> 00:09:17.785 align:center
Isn't it wonderful?

00:09:17.865 --> 00:09:18.785 align:center
Please.

00:09:18.865 --> 00:09:21.345 align:center
- Come on, you wave your arms around.
- I don't know.

00:09:21.425 --> 00:09:23.905 align:center
You go sideways.

00:09:23.985 --> 00:09:24.945 align:center
Shall we?

00:09:25.025 --> 00:09:25.985 align:center
What?

00:09:26.505 --> 00:09:27.745 align:center
- Mother.
- Oh no.

00:09:28.345 --> 00:09:30.305 align:center
Mother, please. How can you resist?

00:09:30.385 --> 00:09:31.225 align:center
Come on.

00:09:31.305 --> 00:09:32.625 align:center
- He's on his knees.
- No.

00:09:32.705 --> 00:09:33.785 align:center
No, no.

00:09:33.865 --> 00:09:36.785 align:center
- Mother.
- You seem happier this evening.

00:09:36.865 --> 00:09:39.865 align:center
- Show me again.
- I've decided to rise above rejection.

00:09:40.705 --> 00:09:41.905 align:center
Might I steal this dance?

00:09:41.985 --> 00:09:42.825 align:center
Take her from me.

00:09:42.905 --> 00:09:44.425 align:center
- Something to show you.
- Take her.

00:09:45.145 --> 00:09:46.145 align:center
Something like…

00:09:46.225 --> 00:09:47.985 align:center
You can't escape me. Come on.

00:09:48.065 --> 00:09:49.825 align:center
Old school. Let's do old school.

00:09:50.625 --> 00:09:53.745 align:center
- That's not a real dance, Uncle J.
- This is how it goes, Syb.

00:09:53.825 --> 00:09:55.065 align:center
This is.

00:09:55.145 --> 00:09:56.585 align:center
- Whoa!
- Whoa!

00:09:58.825 --> 00:10:03.505 align:center
Imagine having an entire theater
hanging off your every word.

00:10:03.585 --> 00:10:04.785 align:center
Intoxicating.

00:10:05.305 --> 00:10:07.145 align:center
I'm Sybylla Melvyn.

00:10:07.665 --> 00:10:09.905 align:center
Welcome to the Alhambra.

00:10:12.665 --> 00:10:14.705 align:center
If you're gonna dream,
make yourself useful.

00:10:19.345 --> 00:10:20.785 align:center
So you like this Edward now?

00:10:20.865 --> 00:10:21.865 align:center
Everard.

00:10:22.705 --> 00:10:24.425 align:center
And I like the sound of his theater.

00:10:29.745 --> 00:10:30.785 align:center
Hey, Nell.

00:10:34.625 --> 00:10:35.465 align:center
Charlie.

00:10:35.985 --> 00:10:37.185 align:center
Morning, miss.

00:10:47.985 --> 00:10:49.985 align:center
I wasn't expecting to see you today.

00:10:50.785 --> 00:10:51.785 align:center
Clearly.

00:10:53.545 --> 00:10:54.465 align:center
Are you decent?

00:10:54.985 --> 00:10:56.025 align:center
Not yet.

00:10:58.345 --> 00:11:00.105 align:center
You don't have to wait, Harry.

00:11:01.225 --> 00:11:02.385 align:center
I want to.

00:11:07.145 --> 00:11:08.145 align:center
Decent.

00:11:13.825 --> 00:11:15.625 align:center
I like what you've done with your hair.

00:11:17.785 --> 00:11:21.065 align:center
Glad to see that you and Charlie
made it out alive from Empire Day.

00:11:22.265 --> 00:11:25.305 align:center
Yeah. Sergeant Baker
sorted that out a few weeks ago.

00:11:25.385 --> 00:11:26.385 align:center
Indeed.

00:11:27.385 --> 00:11:28.505 align:center
Could you tell your aunt

00:11:28.585 --> 00:11:30.625 align:center
that <i>The Bulletin </i>rejected my story?

00:11:31.745 --> 00:11:33.425 align:center
Syb, I'm so sorry.

00:11:33.985 --> 00:11:34.825 align:center
Why?

00:11:35.345 --> 00:11:36.385 align:center
Doesn't matter.

00:11:37.505 --> 00:11:39.465 align:center
I'm learning to live with rejection.

00:11:44.305 --> 00:11:45.465 align:center
This is Beau.

00:11:45.545 --> 00:11:48.425 align:center
He has a nice sloping shoulder.

00:11:48.505 --> 00:11:50.105 align:center
Good length of rein.

00:11:50.185 --> 00:11:52.545 align:center
Ah. Excellently sound.

00:11:52.625 --> 00:11:54.385 align:center
And most importantly,

00:11:55.065 --> 00:11:56.385 align:center
a kind eye.

00:11:58.505 --> 00:11:59.705 align:center
Harry Beecham.

00:12:00.465 --> 00:12:01.825 align:center
I wondered if I might see you.

00:12:01.905 --> 00:12:02.945 align:center
Everard.

00:12:03.025 --> 00:12:03.905 align:center
Hal!

00:12:04.425 --> 00:12:05.945 align:center
- Julius.
- Great to see you.

00:12:06.665 --> 00:12:08.465 align:center
- You two know one another?
- Hardly.

00:12:08.545 --> 00:12:10.665 align:center
I know Harry through Blanche Derrick.

00:12:10.745 --> 00:12:11.745 align:center
How is she?

00:12:12.585 --> 00:12:14.145 align:center
Terrific, as far as I know.

00:12:14.225 --> 00:12:15.785 align:center
She's the catch of the season.

00:12:15.865 --> 00:12:17.185 align:center
But her heart is set on this one.

00:12:19.185 --> 00:12:21.305 align:center
Mrs. Bossier, we're here to see your colt.

00:12:21.385 --> 00:12:22.945 align:center
Absolutely. Here he is.

00:12:23.985 --> 00:12:24.825 align:center
Yup.

00:12:28.225 --> 00:12:31.505 align:center
Well, he, um,
is certainly a handsome fellow.

00:12:32.545 --> 00:12:34.945 align:center
I think it's no exaggeration to say,

00:12:35.025 --> 00:12:37.345 align:center
we're looking at the future
of the Australian stock horse.

00:12:37.425 --> 00:12:39.145 align:center
He's certainly solid.

00:12:39.225 --> 00:12:40.505 align:center
A better word is "hardy."

00:12:41.025 --> 00:12:43.185 align:center
He's also resilient, and he's brave.

00:12:43.265 --> 00:12:45.105 align:center
Sybylla, we don't need a thesaurus.

00:12:45.185 --> 00:12:47.305 align:center
How does he take to new commands?

00:12:47.385 --> 00:12:48.465 align:center
Smart as.

00:12:48.545 --> 00:12:50.745 align:center
He's got more heart
than any horse I've trained.

00:12:50.825 --> 00:12:52.865 align:center
Nell's dad was the most talented horseman
I ever met.

00:12:53.465 --> 00:12:55.545 align:center
Sadly passed. A good man.

00:12:55.625 --> 00:12:56.665 align:center
Indeed.

00:12:56.745 --> 00:13:00.945 align:center
We'll be very sad to see him go,
but he is well worth the price.

00:13:01.025 --> 00:13:03.025 align:center
Buy him, Ev.

00:13:03.105 --> 00:13:07.545 align:center
Uh, Theodore Hardwicke
does like his thoroughbreds.

00:13:07.625 --> 00:13:09.745 align:center
- He's my father's agent.
- I know Theodore.

00:13:09.825 --> 00:13:11.425 align:center
He used to work for my husband.

00:13:11.505 --> 00:13:13.065 align:center
Oh, so you know his taste.

00:13:13.865 --> 00:13:15.985 align:center
- Indeed.
- Let's do a stockman's challenge.

00:13:16.065 --> 00:13:17.665 align:center
We'll get Nell on the colt

00:13:17.745 --> 00:13:19.705 align:center
against Jim
on Caddagat's best thoroughbred.

00:13:19.785 --> 00:13:20.705 align:center
Yeah, I'm up for it.

00:13:20.785 --> 00:13:21.945 align:center
Give us your best, Jimmy.

00:13:29.505 --> 00:13:31.145 align:center
Is that you, Sybylla?

00:13:35.425 --> 00:13:38.345 align:center
Everyone is out there
taking credit for Nell's work,

00:13:38.425 --> 00:13:40.145 align:center
and you're keeping the farm afloat.

00:13:40.225 --> 00:13:42.985 align:center
- Please don't start.
- A man would be telling the whole world.

00:13:43.065 --> 00:13:44.065 align:center
That's all I'm saying.

00:13:44.145 --> 00:13:46.025 align:center
There's a letter here from your sister.

00:13:47.065 --> 00:13:49.105 align:center
Let's hope things are better
at Possum Gully.

00:13:56.265 --> 00:14:00.385 align:center
- "Dearest Syb, there's no point…"
- There's no point sugarcoating it.

00:14:00.465 --> 00:14:01.625 align:center
Papa's been reckless again.

00:14:01.705 --> 00:14:03.825 align:center
I told you I was seeing McSwat.

00:14:03.905 --> 00:14:07.305 align:center
To work out a payment plan,
not to borrow more.

00:14:07.385 --> 00:14:10.385 align:center
Sometimes you have
to spend money to make money.

00:14:10.465 --> 00:14:13.305 align:center
Well, I suppose it's better
than selling off your daughter.

00:14:13.385 --> 00:14:15.905 align:center
- Keep it down!
- I know you feel foolish about Harry.

00:14:15.985 --> 00:14:19.025 align:center
I promise I won't tell anyone
about what happened at Five Bob.

00:14:19.545 --> 00:14:21.065 align:center
You're a special person, Syb,

00:14:21.145 --> 00:14:24.385 align:center
and I'm desperate for you
to find a love match.

00:14:24.465 --> 00:14:27.265 align:center
Don't be like that, Lucy.

00:14:27.345 --> 00:14:29.385 align:center
But perhaps don't take too long.

00:14:38.945 --> 00:14:39.945 align:center
Come on.

00:14:41.745 --> 00:14:44.905 align:center
- Come and take a seat.
- Honestly. I haven't had a cup of tea yet.

00:14:44.985 --> 00:14:47.985 align:center
But this will definitely make you happy.

00:14:48.065 --> 00:14:49.025 align:center
Sit.

00:14:51.105 --> 00:14:52.345 align:center
I have a plan

00:14:52.425 --> 00:14:55.225 align:center
to get Everard Grey to notice me.

00:14:55.305 --> 00:14:58.545 align:center
Oh. Now you have my attention.

00:14:59.145 --> 00:15:03.585 align:center
Imagine a small private stage,
a select audience of family and friends,

00:15:03.665 --> 00:15:05.745 align:center
the lighting is beautiful,

00:15:05.825 --> 00:15:07.865 align:center
and I step up.

00:15:07.945 --> 00:15:12.905 align:center
Everard sees me in a setting
that he loves so much, the theater.

00:15:12.985 --> 00:15:15.465 align:center
- And then I begin to recite.
- Oh no.

00:15:15.545 --> 00:15:16.425 align:center
- No, wait!
- No, no.

00:15:16.505 --> 00:15:17.745 align:center
Wait!

00:15:18.305 --> 00:15:19.305 align:center
Please sit down.

00:15:19.385 --> 00:15:21.545 align:center
I'm a different person now.

00:15:21.625 --> 00:15:23.865 align:center
I would never embarrass you
like that again.

00:15:24.385 --> 00:15:26.065 align:center
This will be the perfect surprise.

00:15:26.145 --> 00:15:27.065 align:center
Sybylla.

00:15:27.145 --> 00:15:30.825 align:center
Why can't you just wear
a lovely dress and a charming smile?

00:15:40.505 --> 00:15:42.105 align:center
Everard is a particular man.

00:15:42.185 --> 00:15:45.345 align:center
If he'd been looking for
someone like every other girl,

00:15:45.425 --> 00:15:46.985 align:center
he would be married by now.

00:15:50.105 --> 00:15:53.585 align:center
When is this surprise spectacle
supposed to happen?

00:15:54.345 --> 00:15:56.905 align:center
The evening after you get
a huge prize for Beau,

00:15:56.985 --> 00:15:59.545 align:center
because Nell is gonna win
that stockman's challenge.

00:15:59.625 --> 00:16:00.945 align:center
That is true.

00:16:05.065 --> 00:16:07.065 align:center
I suppose there's no point in pretending

00:16:07.145 --> 00:16:08.305 align:center
to be someone you're not.

00:16:09.665 --> 00:16:10.665 align:center
But, Sybylla,

00:16:11.185 --> 00:16:12.105 align:center
I swear--

00:16:12.185 --> 00:16:14.185 align:center
I couldn't be more in earnest.

00:16:14.265 --> 00:16:16.025 align:center
I promise.

00:16:19.465 --> 00:16:20.305 align:center
You approve?

00:16:23.185 --> 00:16:24.905 align:center
Now may I have my breakfast?

00:16:32.425 --> 00:16:34.305 align:center
He's giving me the evil eye.

00:16:34.385 --> 00:16:35.425 align:center
Don't look, then.

00:16:37.625 --> 00:16:38.865 align:center
Where are my girls?

00:16:38.945 --> 00:16:41.225 align:center
Mum! Oh, where did you come from?

00:16:41.305 --> 00:16:44.745 align:center
A little birdie told me
there's a stockman's challenge this week.

00:16:44.825 --> 00:16:45.665 align:center
Mum!

00:16:45.745 --> 00:16:47.145 align:center
Get out from there, you.

00:16:47.225 --> 00:16:50.225 align:center
Oh! I can't believe you're here.

00:16:50.905 --> 00:16:54.025 align:center
I thought you might want this.

00:16:56.105 --> 00:16:57.185 align:center
Dad's watch, Nell.

00:16:58.465 --> 00:16:59.305 align:center
For luck.

00:16:59.905 --> 00:17:01.425 align:center
He's always with you, bub.

00:17:02.265 --> 00:17:03.265 align:center
What?

00:17:04.065 --> 00:17:07.705 align:center
Every time I do something good,
they always talk about Dad like he did it.

00:17:08.785 --> 00:17:10.425 align:center
He did teach you.

00:17:10.505 --> 00:17:11.945 align:center
Yeah, but he's not here though.

00:17:12.025 --> 00:17:13.825 align:center
But he'd tell you, just the same as me.

00:17:14.345 --> 00:17:15.825 align:center
"Just show 'em what you can do, bub."

00:17:18.625 --> 00:17:19.785 align:center
Oh, look out!

00:17:19.865 --> 00:17:20.905 align:center
Hey, Charlie.

00:17:20.985 --> 00:17:21.905 align:center
Hey, Betty.

00:17:22.425 --> 00:17:24.425 align:center
What's this then?

00:17:26.185 --> 00:17:27.505 align:center
Good to see you.

00:17:27.585 --> 00:17:28.825 align:center
Good to see you too.

00:17:31.145 --> 00:17:33.145 align:center
Mum, this is Charlie.

00:17:33.225 --> 00:17:34.545 align:center
He works at Five Bob.

00:17:35.065 --> 00:17:37.145 align:center
Not sure why he's shown up
out of the blue.

00:17:37.225 --> 00:17:40.545 align:center
- Oh, I can go if you don't want any help.
- I don't remember asking for any.

00:17:44.465 --> 00:17:47.385 align:center
- Where are you from, Charlie boy?
- Up Queensland way.

00:17:47.905 --> 00:17:48.985 align:center
Who you mob?

00:17:52.625 --> 00:17:53.585 align:center
Don't know, Auntie.

00:17:53.665 --> 00:17:55.785 align:center
Been working for the Beechams
as long as I can remember.

00:17:55.865 --> 00:17:57.265 align:center
He's a drover, Mum.

00:17:57.825 --> 00:18:00.105 align:center
- Droving man?
- Yeah. That's right.

00:18:00.185 --> 00:18:03.665 align:center
Well, you keep asking
those old people on your travels.

00:18:04.345 --> 00:18:05.465 align:center
You'll find your family.

00:18:05.545 --> 00:18:09.265 align:center
Right, well, uh, I've got work to do.

00:18:09.345 --> 00:18:13.425 align:center
If you want to be helpful,
I need a barrel to practice my turns.

00:18:13.505 --> 00:18:15.145 align:center
Oh. I'm the barrel now?

00:18:15.665 --> 00:18:18.385 align:center
Gee. She's a tough one, isn't she?

00:18:19.305 --> 00:18:22.545 align:center
- He's the one from Empire Day.
- That explains it.

00:18:27.065 --> 00:18:28.905 align:center
"Dear Gert."

00:18:29.665 --> 00:18:34.185 align:center
"Our parents are living proof

00:18:34.265 --> 00:18:37.385 align:center
that love is unreliable."

00:18:37.465 --> 00:18:40.785 align:center
"I'll play Granny's game long enough
to prove to Everard

00:18:40.865 --> 00:18:45.865 align:center
that I should write for his theater
without the need of a marriage contract."

00:18:48.265 --> 00:18:51.305 align:center
"I will get us out of this mess.
I promise."

00:18:53.185 --> 00:18:56.145 align:center
Here you are.
How are your building skills?

00:18:56.745 --> 00:18:57.585 align:center
Why?

00:18:57.665 --> 00:18:59.905 align:center
Because it'll give you
an actual job for a change.

00:19:01.345 --> 00:19:02.345 align:center
That's rather rude.

00:19:03.745 --> 00:19:06.265 align:center
Hm. I was trying for a joke.

00:19:06.345 --> 00:19:10.705 align:center
To cover my personal distaste
about having to ask anyone for a favor.

00:19:12.945 --> 00:19:14.465 align:center
You need a favor from me?

00:19:15.505 --> 00:19:16.345 align:center
Yes.

00:19:16.425 --> 00:19:17.465 align:center
Hm.

00:19:18.545 --> 00:19:19.865 align:center
Shall we?

00:19:22.945 --> 00:19:24.785 align:center
<i>Back when we were both small</i>

00:19:24.865 --> 00:19:26.865 align:center
<i>I will show you</i>

00:19:26.945 --> 00:19:29.225 align:center
<i>The dire…</i>

00:19:29.305 --> 00:19:30.665 align:center
Gosh, Sybylla!

00:19:30.745 --> 00:19:32.065 align:center
Have you ever…

00:19:34.505 --> 00:19:35.945 align:center
<i>I will show you</i>

00:19:36.785 --> 00:19:39.105 align:center
<i>Before it felt like a sin</i>

00:19:44.625 --> 00:19:46.305 align:center
No.

00:19:46.385 --> 00:19:48.305 align:center
<i>Before it felt like a sin</i>

00:19:52.865 --> 00:19:54.825 align:center
<i>Felt like a sin</i>

00:19:55.625 --> 00:19:57.985 align:center
<i>Before it felt like a sin</i>

00:20:00.225 --> 00:20:01.985 align:center
<i>There's nothing for me</i>

00:20:02.665 --> 00:20:05.625 align:center
<i>You know the world is small</i>

00:20:05.705 --> 00:20:07.305 align:center
<i>But how he touched me</i>

00:20:07.385 --> 00:20:09.905 align:center
<i>For that I feel before</i>

00:20:09.985 --> 00:20:11.945 align:center
<i>Back in the city</i>

00:20:12.025 --> 00:20:14.465 align:center
<i>Cold eyes and lips are dust</i>

00:20:14.545 --> 00:20:16.585 align:center
<i>So turn and face me</i>

00:20:16.665 --> 00:20:20.825 align:center
<i>Turn to the altar of lust</i>

00:20:24.905 --> 00:20:27.265 align:center
<i>Pray for me, all for me</i>

00:20:27.345 --> 00:20:29.545 align:center
<i>Pray for me, all for me</i>

00:20:29.625 --> 00:20:32.545 align:center
<i>Pray for me, all for me</i>

00:20:32.625 --> 00:20:34.265 align:center
<i>Before it felt like a sin</i>

00:20:43.025 --> 00:20:45.025 align:center
<i>There was movement at the station</i>

00:20:45.105 --> 00:20:49.265 align:center
<i>Because a girl had come to… town</i>

00:20:49.345 --> 00:20:53.025 align:center
<i>No. Because the word had got around</i>

00:20:53.105 --> 00:20:54.225 align:center
<i>Yes, that's it.</i>

00:20:54.305 --> 00:20:55.625 align:center
<i>Scans so much better.</i>

00:20:56.505 --> 00:20:59.585 align:center
<i>Hm. What rhymes with "suffragist"?</i>

00:20:59.665 --> 00:21:00.745 align:center
<i>"Percussionist."</i>

00:21:01.505 --> 00:21:03.385 align:center
<i>Uh, I might change that.</i>

00:21:03.465 --> 00:21:05.905 align:center
<i>Her blood, it ran with ink</i>

00:21:05.985 --> 00:21:07.025 align:center
<i>No.</i>

00:21:07.105 --> 00:21:09.465 align:center
<i>It runs with deep blue ink</i>

00:21:10.065 --> 00:21:13.265 align:center
<i>Her pen was sharp, but her pain was felt</i>

00:21:13.345 --> 00:21:14.825 align:center
<i>Her pain was real</i>

00:21:14.905 --> 00:21:16.545 align:center
<i>- His lies ran--</i>
- Sybylla.

00:21:17.905 --> 00:21:18.905 align:center
Harry.

00:21:20.185 --> 00:21:21.785 align:center
I'm here to see Everard.

00:21:22.825 --> 00:21:23.985 align:center
I'll leave you to it.

00:21:26.545 --> 00:21:28.705 align:center
You shouldn't have heard
about Blanche that way.

00:21:32.665 --> 00:21:33.585 align:center
You're engaged,

00:21:33.665 --> 00:21:35.385 align:center
and I'm very happy for you.

00:21:36.145 --> 00:21:37.825 align:center
I am, but it's complicated.

00:21:40.065 --> 00:21:41.745 align:center
Is that what Blanche would say?

00:21:43.185 --> 00:21:44.185 align:center
Beecham.

00:21:45.745 --> 00:21:46.785 align:center
Right on time.

00:21:53.705 --> 00:21:55.505 align:center
Everard. How are you?

00:21:56.025 --> 00:21:57.345 align:center
Good to see you.

00:22:07.305 --> 00:22:10.625 align:center
It's just to tide me over
until the shearing's done.

00:22:10.705 --> 00:22:11.865 align:center
Yeah.

00:22:12.705 --> 00:22:14.785 align:center
Well, I don't see any issues.

00:22:16.465 --> 00:22:19.545 align:center
Short-term loan for a family like yours
is something we do all the time.

00:22:22.865 --> 00:22:24.105 align:center
That's a relief.

00:22:24.985 --> 00:22:26.425 align:center
It's five o'clock somewhere.

00:22:37.305 --> 00:22:40.305 align:center
Now, I feel I put my foot in it
the other day.

00:22:40.385 --> 00:22:41.225 align:center
About Blanche.

00:22:41.305 --> 00:22:43.065 align:center
Ah. No, it's fine.

00:22:43.145 --> 00:22:44.145 align:center
Okay.

00:22:45.905 --> 00:22:47.625 align:center
There is an understanding
between you, then.

00:22:48.665 --> 00:22:49.505 align:center
I suppose.

00:22:51.665 --> 00:22:53.345 align:center
That came out wrong.

00:22:54.305 --> 00:22:57.185 align:center
It's just that I'm trying
to do the right thing by everyone

00:22:57.265 --> 00:22:58.945 align:center
and failing them all.

00:23:00.345 --> 00:23:02.905 align:center
You're an honorable man, Beecham.

00:23:03.945 --> 00:23:04.785 align:center
It's plain as day.

00:23:05.905 --> 00:23:06.905 align:center
Sure.

00:23:08.345 --> 00:23:09.545 align:center
But what's more important?

00:23:10.065 --> 00:23:10.905 align:center
Love or honor?

00:23:12.785 --> 00:23:13.985 align:center
Good question.

00:23:15.305 --> 00:23:16.305 align:center
For me,

00:23:17.145 --> 00:23:18.985 align:center
love trumps honor, every time.

00:23:19.065 --> 00:23:21.025 align:center
Do whatever it takes
to hold on to love, I say.

00:23:22.745 --> 00:23:24.225 align:center
What if you've made a promise?

00:23:25.545 --> 00:23:26.745 align:center
Made to be broken.

00:23:32.345 --> 00:23:33.225 align:center
Yeah.

00:23:33.305 --> 00:23:34.585 align:center
About this business, uh,

00:23:35.185 --> 00:23:37.625 align:center
I'd appreciate it
if we could keep it between us.

00:23:37.705 --> 00:23:39.825 align:center
Oh, naturally. Cheers.

00:23:44.665 --> 00:23:45.665 align:center
Here.

00:23:47.705 --> 00:23:49.305 align:center
Still not fast enough.

00:23:49.385 --> 00:23:52.065 align:center
- You'll have more on him on the day.
- Yeah, hope so.

00:23:53.465 --> 00:23:54.625 align:center
Something to say?

00:23:55.145 --> 00:23:57.305 align:center
Feels like
you've got something else to prove.

00:23:57.385 --> 00:23:58.705 align:center
More than just a sale.

00:23:59.225 --> 00:24:00.225 align:center
Yeah?

00:24:01.505 --> 00:24:02.745 align:center
I wanna be foreman.

00:24:05.665 --> 00:24:07.345 align:center
I've never said that out loud before.

00:24:07.945 --> 00:24:08.945 align:center
Hm.

00:24:09.985 --> 00:24:11.065 align:center
Well, I'd give you the job.

00:24:26.545 --> 00:24:27.385 align:center
For you.

00:24:29.585 --> 00:24:30.585 align:center
Thank you.

00:24:34.785 --> 00:24:35.785 align:center
Here.

00:24:49.225 --> 00:24:51.425 align:center
So, when are you going droving next?

00:24:51.505 --> 00:24:52.745 align:center
Why? Are you gonna miss me?

00:24:53.425 --> 00:24:54.505 align:center
No.

00:24:57.225 --> 00:24:58.225 align:center
Next week.

00:25:00.025 --> 00:25:01.065 align:center
And I'll miss you.

00:25:03.465 --> 00:25:04.945 align:center
Nell Kirby.

00:25:08.745 --> 00:25:10.625 align:center
Yah!

00:25:14.105 --> 00:25:16.465 align:center
Yah!

00:25:31.145 --> 00:25:32.305 align:center
Nell.

00:25:33.825 --> 00:25:35.185 align:center
Staying out here again?

00:25:36.385 --> 00:25:37.985 align:center
Got something to say about it, Jim?

00:25:38.065 --> 00:25:39.225 align:center
Nah.

00:25:39.305 --> 00:25:41.825 align:center
Get some sleep.
You'll need it all for tomorrow.

00:25:57.145 --> 00:25:59.385 align:center
Yes, I like the look of that thoroughbred.

00:25:59.865 --> 00:26:01.065 align:center
This fellow has a nice…

00:26:01.145 --> 00:26:03.545 align:center
…brumbies were working
to the breeding program?

00:26:03.625 --> 00:26:05.465 align:center
If Harry doesn't buy them all first.

00:26:05.985 --> 00:26:07.185 align:center
What do you think, Harry?

00:26:07.865 --> 00:26:11.265 align:center
Well, Whyambeet is
always in need of good stock…

00:26:12.185 --> 00:26:15.385 align:center
You see, Everard, I can't abide lateness.

00:26:16.545 --> 00:26:18.825 align:center
Well, he's normally punctual.

00:26:19.625 --> 00:26:21.585 align:center
Do you think he's actually coming?

00:26:23.825 --> 00:26:25.985 align:center
Ah. Here he comes now.

00:26:27.505 --> 00:26:28.825 align:center
Mrs. Bossier.

00:26:29.865 --> 00:26:33.105 align:center
Apologies. My horse threw a shoe.

00:26:33.185 --> 00:26:36.105 align:center
Just in time, Mr. Hardwicke.
We were about to start without you.

00:26:38.305 --> 00:26:39.585 align:center
It's good to see you.

00:26:40.625 --> 00:26:42.105 align:center
So…

00:26:42.185 --> 00:26:43.465 align:center
Let's do it.

00:26:56.785 --> 00:26:58.425 align:center
You know the rules.

00:26:58.505 --> 00:27:02.105 align:center
Once around the course,
then the brumby catch.

00:27:02.745 --> 00:27:03.865 align:center
Quickest team wins.

00:27:03.945 --> 00:27:05.665 align:center
Heads, you go first, Jim.

00:27:05.745 --> 00:27:07.025 align:center
Tails, then it's you Nell.

00:27:08.705 --> 00:27:09.665 align:center
Here we go.

00:27:13.825 --> 00:27:14.865 align:center
Go, Jim!

00:27:15.385 --> 00:27:16.705 align:center
Go, go, Jimmy!

00:27:18.785 --> 00:27:20.625 align:center
Release the brumby!

00:27:22.305 --> 00:27:23.865 align:center
You've still got time.

00:27:23.945 --> 00:27:26.305 align:center
- He missed!
- Aw, Jim!

00:27:29.465 --> 00:27:30.985 align:center
Yes, Jim!

00:27:34.585 --> 00:27:38.145 align:center
- Three minutes and twenty seconds.
- Very good!

00:27:38.225 --> 00:27:39.105 align:center
Good work.

00:27:39.825 --> 00:27:41.505 align:center
You're up, Nell.

00:27:41.585 --> 00:27:44.145 align:center
<i>People asked me why I never find</i>
<i>A place to stop and settle</i>

00:27:44.225 --> 00:27:45.625 align:center
<i>Down, down, down</i>

00:27:45.705 --> 00:27:47.185 align:center
- Yah!
- <i>Hey, hey!</i>

00:27:47.785 --> 00:27:49.745 align:center
<i>But I never wanted all those things</i>

00:27:49.825 --> 00:27:52.625 align:center
<i>People need</i>
<i>To justify their lives, lives, lives</i>

00:27:52.705 --> 00:27:54.505 align:center
- Go, Nell!
- Come on, Nellie!

00:27:55.825 --> 00:27:57.705 align:center
Release the brumby!

00:27:57.785 --> 00:28:00.505 align:center
<i>Born to be alive</i>

00:28:01.545 --> 00:28:04.105 align:center
- Yah!
<i>- It's good to be alive…</i>

00:28:15.185 --> 00:28:16.145 align:center
Yes.

00:28:16.225 --> 00:28:20.065 align:center
<i>It's good to be alive</i>

00:28:21.385 --> 00:28:23.425 align:center
- Come on, Nell!
- Time!

00:28:26.225 --> 00:28:29.585 align:center
Three minutes and…

00:28:34.745 --> 00:28:36.425 align:center
Three seconds! Nell's the winner!

00:28:36.505 --> 00:28:37.905 align:center
Bravo! Bravo!

00:28:37.985 --> 00:28:38.945 align:center
- Yes!
- Nice!

00:28:40.265 --> 00:28:42.185 align:center
- Yes!
- Well done, Nell!

00:28:42.265 --> 00:28:43.265 align:center
Yay!

00:28:54.945 --> 00:28:58.465 align:center
Well, gentlemen, let the bidding… begin.

00:28:59.305 --> 00:29:00.145 align:center
£200.

00:29:01.345 --> 00:29:02.265 align:center
220.

00:29:03.305 --> 00:29:04.185 align:center
240.

00:29:05.145 --> 00:29:06.225 align:center
260.

00:29:08.025 --> 00:29:10.985 align:center
£400!

00:29:12.065 --> 00:29:14.345 align:center
- Congratulations, Mr. Hardwicke.
- Thank you.

00:29:14.425 --> 00:29:15.665 align:center
And to you, Mother.

00:29:15.745 --> 00:29:16.905 align:center
I knew we'd win.

00:29:16.985 --> 00:29:18.305 align:center
Well, I'm sorry I missed it.

00:29:18.385 --> 00:29:20.145 align:center
No, you're not. But I forgive you.

00:29:20.225 --> 00:29:21.865 align:center
Helen's not interested in horses.

00:29:21.945 --> 00:29:22.945 align:center
That is not true.

00:29:23.025 --> 00:29:24.265 align:center
But she loves selling them.

00:29:24.345 --> 00:29:25.345 align:center
And celebrating them.

00:29:25.425 --> 00:29:27.465 align:center
We're keen to celebrate this.

00:29:27.545 --> 00:29:28.705 align:center
Like baby magpies.

00:29:28.785 --> 00:29:30.905 align:center
So how long has it been, Mr. Hardwicke?

00:29:30.985 --> 00:29:32.465 align:center
Well, it'd have to be ten years.

00:29:32.545 --> 00:29:34.345 align:center
Since you left me for another stable.

00:29:34.425 --> 00:29:35.745 align:center
Hm.

00:29:35.825 --> 00:29:38.025 align:center
I far preferred working for you, Winifred.

00:29:38.105 --> 00:29:39.225 align:center
You know me.

00:29:39.745 --> 00:29:41.345 align:center
- Shall we cheers?
- I think so.

00:29:41.425 --> 00:29:44.185 align:center
- Why don't you take a seat, Helen?
- At sunset, yes?

00:29:44.265 --> 00:29:45.465 align:center
I know about the lanterns.

00:29:45.545 --> 00:29:47.585 align:center
You can trust me, Syb.

00:29:47.665 --> 00:29:49.465 align:center
You happy? Little brother.

00:29:52.025 --> 00:29:53.505 align:center
I'll take some.

00:29:55.105 --> 00:29:56.745 align:center
Sybylla.

00:29:57.225 --> 00:29:59.785 align:center
- Hm?
- Augusta.

00:29:59.865 --> 00:30:04.305 align:center
- This is quite the outfit.
- I would never miss a horse event.

00:30:04.385 --> 00:30:06.105 align:center
But you weren't there.

00:30:06.785 --> 00:30:09.665 align:center
Well, I kept Helen company.
She's an inside person.

00:30:10.385 --> 00:30:11.385 align:center
More importantly,

00:30:12.625 --> 00:30:15.625 align:center
I was desperately sorry
to hear your news about <i>The Bulletin</i>.

00:30:17.265 --> 00:30:20.425 align:center
Yes, well, I'm learning
to deal with unpleasant news.

00:30:20.945 --> 00:30:22.505 align:center
Are we good?

00:30:24.265 --> 00:30:25.505 align:center
Of course.

00:30:26.225 --> 00:30:28.505 align:center
You are by far
the most interesting person I know

00:30:28.585 --> 00:30:30.265 align:center
in the whole district.

00:30:31.425 --> 00:30:33.465 align:center
As you are to me.

00:30:34.865 --> 00:30:37.145 align:center
Now what's all this new mischief, hm?

00:30:37.785 --> 00:30:38.945 align:center
You'll see.

00:30:42.105 --> 00:30:44.825 align:center
Ah!

00:30:44.905 --> 00:30:48.905 align:center
- Julius, as I live and breathe. Hello!
- Ah!

00:30:50.545 --> 00:30:53.105 align:center
Okay, everyone, gather yourselves.
Grab a lantern.

00:30:53.185 --> 00:30:55.105 align:center
Next up is something from Sybylla.

00:30:55.625 --> 00:30:58.985 align:center
- This way, please!
- What's happening?

00:30:59.065 --> 00:31:01.345 align:center
I have no idea.
But I do know it's this way.

00:31:01.425 --> 00:31:03.345 align:center
Things perked up since I've been gone.

00:31:04.105 --> 00:31:06.105 align:center
To be fair, only since your niece arrived.

00:31:11.065 --> 00:31:12.705 align:center
Did your bank look at the books?

00:31:14.545 --> 00:31:15.625 align:center
They did.

00:31:15.705 --> 00:31:19.345 align:center
And I'm very sorry, Beecham,
but they're worried you're overextended.

00:31:19.425 --> 00:31:21.065 align:center
All those new farms.

00:31:21.145 --> 00:31:23.265 align:center
You don't have control over any of them.

00:31:23.785 --> 00:31:25.145 align:center
That's because the intention is

00:31:25.225 --> 00:31:27.425 align:center
they'll all buy them back from me
when they can.

00:31:27.505 --> 00:31:28.785 align:center
Exactly.

00:31:28.865 --> 00:31:30.705 align:center
But… uh, when?

00:31:30.785 --> 00:31:33.625 align:center
Look, if it were up to me,
I would… I would say yes.

00:31:33.705 --> 00:31:36.345 align:center
But I'm just the messenger.

00:31:36.425 --> 00:31:38.665 align:center
Here, try this lot.

00:31:40.385 --> 00:31:43.545 align:center
They're less cautious than my father,
but reputable.

00:31:44.585 --> 00:31:45.585 align:center
Okay.

00:31:46.985 --> 00:31:48.265 align:center
Sorry.

00:31:55.825 --> 00:31:57.425 align:center
Welcome.

00:32:06.625 --> 00:32:08.905 align:center
<i>The Girl from Possum Gully.</i>

00:32:08.985 --> 00:32:11.945 align:center
With apologies to Banjo Paterson.

00:32:12.025 --> 00:32:14.425 align:center
<i>There was movement at the station</i>

00:32:14.505 --> 00:32:16.225 align:center
<i>For the word had got around</i>

00:32:16.305 --> 00:32:19.145 align:center
<i>That the girl from Possum Gully</i>
<i>Had come to stay</i>

00:32:19.225 --> 00:32:21.345 align:center
<i>But the Englishman cried</i>

00:32:21.425 --> 00:32:24.945 align:center
<i>"There's not a penny to rub together</i>
<i>Let alone a pound"</i>

00:32:25.025 --> 00:32:25.985 align:center
No.

00:32:26.065 --> 00:32:28.825 align:center
<i>So all the tried and noted suitors</i>

00:32:28.905 --> 00:32:30.865 align:center
<i>From stations near and far</i>

00:32:30.945 --> 00:32:32.145 align:center
<i>They came to woo</i>

00:32:32.225 --> 00:32:34.345 align:center
<i>They rode there overnight</i>

00:32:34.945 --> 00:32:36.545 align:center
<i>But the girl from Possum Gully</i>

00:32:36.625 --> 00:32:38.065 align:center
<i>Set a high bar</i>

00:32:38.145 --> 00:32:40.585 align:center
<i>And knocked them back</i>
<i>Wham, bang</i>

00:32:40.665 --> 00:32:43.065 align:center
<i>- With such delight</i>
- Syb!

00:32:47.145 --> 00:32:50.025 align:center
<i>To Three Shilling station she was sent</i>

00:32:50.105 --> 00:32:53.465 align:center
<i>- Let the suffragist have a go</i>
- Oh, that's me.

00:32:54.905 --> 00:32:57.585 align:center
<i>- But Henry of the Undertow</i>
- Oh!

00:32:59.825 --> 00:33:01.425 align:center
<i>He wasn't pleased</i>

00:33:01.505 --> 00:33:04.105 align:center
<i>He never said more than two words</i>

00:33:04.185 --> 00:33:05.745 align:center
<i>When lies would do</i>

00:33:05.825 --> 00:33:07.025 align:center
<i>And that girl talked</i>

00:33:07.105 --> 00:33:10.425 align:center
<i>- Above or under water with ease</i>
- Oh, that's true.

00:33:14.185 --> 00:33:17.065 align:center
<i>A secret shared is a secret lost</i>

00:33:18.185 --> 00:33:21.585 align:center
<i>And one day his story did unfold</i>

00:33:22.105 --> 00:33:23.305 align:center
<i>And her blood</i>

00:33:23.385 --> 00:33:28.785 align:center
<i>It ran with deep blue ink</i>
<i>The danger now was clear</i>

00:33:28.865 --> 00:33:30.265 align:center
<i>Her pen was sharp</i>

00:33:30.345 --> 00:33:32.145 align:center
<i>Her words were cold</i>

00:33:32.225 --> 00:33:33.905 align:center
<i>But the pain was real</i>

00:33:33.985 --> 00:33:36.065 align:center
<i>And true as sunset pink</i>

00:33:38.985 --> 00:33:41.465 align:center
<i>And so the girl from Possum Gully</i>

00:33:41.545 --> 00:33:44.305 align:center
<i>Is a household name today</i>

00:33:44.985 --> 00:33:48.345 align:center
<i>Perhaps she's raw and a little uncouth</i>

00:33:48.425 --> 00:33:50.545 align:center
<i>And some will say her poem's too long</i>

00:33:50.625 --> 00:33:52.705 align:center
Is that right, Mr. Grey?

00:33:53.625 --> 00:33:56.145 align:center
<i>But where her heart's concerned</i>

00:33:56.985 --> 00:34:00.345 align:center
<i>She will always live her truth</i>

00:34:06.465 --> 00:34:08.265 align:center
- Bravo!
- Brava!

00:34:08.785 --> 00:34:10.705 align:center
Bravo!

00:34:10.785 --> 00:34:13.105 align:center
Bravo!

00:34:13.185 --> 00:34:14.505 align:center
Marvelous, Sybylla!

00:34:14.585 --> 00:34:16.305 align:center
- Marvelous.
- Very witty, Sybylla.

00:34:16.385 --> 00:34:18.065 align:center
Definite improvement on the original.

00:34:18.865 --> 00:34:20.185 align:center
Good enough for the Alhambra?

00:34:21.825 --> 00:34:23.385 align:center
I… I don't see why not.

00:34:24.185 --> 00:34:27.465 align:center
I have more poems I could show you,
and I could write for other performers.

00:34:27.545 --> 00:34:29.105 align:center
It doesn't have to be me.

00:34:29.185 --> 00:34:30.825 align:center
I work hard, and I write fast.

00:34:30.905 --> 00:34:34.625 align:center
Then let's find a moment to talk later.

00:34:34.705 --> 00:34:35.665 align:center
Yes?

00:34:35.745 --> 00:34:36.785 align:center
In private.

00:34:36.865 --> 00:34:40.985 align:center
I might have a proposition
that could change both of our futures.

00:34:47.105 --> 00:34:47.985 align:center
What did he say?

00:34:48.065 --> 00:34:49.945 align:center
He wants to talk later.

00:34:50.025 --> 00:34:52.305 align:center
- In private.
- Shall we head back to the house?

00:34:52.385 --> 00:34:55.265 align:center
I never thought I'd say this,
but well done, Sybylla.

00:34:55.345 --> 00:34:58.265 align:center
Now, Julius, that is an excellent idea.

00:34:58.345 --> 00:35:00.305 align:center
Come on, then. Drinks back at the house.

00:35:05.225 --> 00:35:06.145 align:center
Psst!

00:35:09.505 --> 00:35:10.585 align:center
Psst!

00:35:11.585 --> 00:35:12.785 align:center
What are you…?

00:35:18.905 --> 00:35:21.425 align:center
Where have you been?
I haven't seen you in weeks.

00:35:21.505 --> 00:35:23.465 align:center
Do you want Gool Gool to become lawless?

00:35:23.545 --> 00:35:25.465 align:center
- Just so I can see you?
- I'm busy too!

00:35:28.065 --> 00:35:30.945 align:center
Why do we have to sneak around?
I wanna tell people about us.

00:35:31.025 --> 00:35:32.105 align:center
Betty, all I want

00:35:32.185 --> 00:35:34.345 align:center
is to tell the whole world
how I feel about you.

00:35:34.425 --> 00:35:36.305 align:center
- Yeah, really? So why don't you?
- And…

00:35:47.185 --> 00:35:49.145 align:center
I need to tell my family first.

00:35:51.065 --> 00:35:52.185 align:center
I wanna do it properly.

00:35:54.625 --> 00:35:56.185 align:center
I just want them to know you.

00:36:01.745 --> 00:36:03.465 align:center
'Cause I'm mad about you.

00:36:04.545 --> 00:36:05.745 align:center
You must know that.

00:36:18.745 --> 00:36:20.905 align:center
Ah.

00:36:21.745 --> 00:36:24.625 align:center
Syb! Ah!

00:36:25.145 --> 00:36:27.105 align:center
We're just off for a breath of fresh air.

00:36:29.385 --> 00:36:32.425 align:center
You were… you were
amazing tonight, Sybylla.

00:36:32.505 --> 00:36:33.505 align:center
You're a marvel.

00:36:34.025 --> 00:36:35.425 align:center
You really owned that stage.

00:36:35.945 --> 00:36:37.505 align:center
A new star is born.

00:36:43.745 --> 00:36:46.625 align:center
- So what's this big proposal?
- You'll love it.

00:36:46.705 --> 00:36:48.825 align:center
I just need to sell it to your…

00:36:56.945 --> 00:36:58.385 align:center
Are you mad?

00:36:58.465 --> 00:37:01.305 align:center
The opposite.
This could be the perfect solution.

00:37:01.825 --> 00:37:02.825 align:center
No.

00:37:04.065 --> 00:37:05.705 align:center
I asked you to come to Caddagat

00:37:05.785 --> 00:37:07.625 align:center
so you'd understand how I feel
about this place.

00:37:08.265 --> 00:37:10.865 align:center
Not so you'd… do this.

00:37:10.945 --> 00:37:12.745 align:center
Yeah, and I see it now.

00:37:13.265 --> 00:37:15.785 align:center
You're a farmer, J. It's in your blood.

00:37:16.705 --> 00:37:18.505 align:center
But I can't live here.

00:37:18.585 --> 00:37:19.705 align:center
I know!

00:37:19.785 --> 00:37:23.025 align:center
Sybylla's a hoot, and this way
you can come visit me whenever,

00:37:23.105 --> 00:37:25.185 align:center
and no one will ask any questions.

00:37:28.465 --> 00:37:30.945 align:center
- What, you really want to marry her?
- Of course not.

00:37:31.025 --> 00:37:32.145 align:center
Not like that.

00:37:33.265 --> 00:37:34.505 align:center
She's gagging to get out.

00:37:34.585 --> 00:37:36.865 align:center
- The desperation's dripping off of her.
- Steady on.

00:37:36.945 --> 00:37:38.785 align:center
- This is my niece.
- Exactly.

00:37:38.865 --> 00:37:41.545 align:center
Any girl would be boots and all
with your mother and sister.

00:37:41.625 --> 00:37:44.265 align:center
But she's different. Right?

00:37:44.345 --> 00:37:45.945 align:center
She's different.

00:37:52.625 --> 00:37:54.825 align:center
This is the perfect solution.

00:37:57.105 --> 00:37:58.225 align:center
For us.

00:38:31.945 --> 00:38:33.345 align:center
Well done, Syb.

00:38:33.425 --> 00:38:34.545 align:center
You pulled it off.

00:38:42.545 --> 00:38:43.705 align:center
It was rather good.

00:38:43.785 --> 00:38:44.985 align:center
Mm.

00:38:46.025 --> 00:38:48.505 align:center
That's a muted response,
not your usual form.

00:38:51.105 --> 00:38:52.105 align:center
Frank.

00:38:54.905 --> 00:38:57.265 align:center
Have you ever known an instance, where…

00:38:59.185 --> 00:39:02.625 align:center
two men might wanna…

00:39:03.825 --> 00:39:05.985 align:center
kiss one another?

00:39:09.705 --> 00:39:10.945 align:center
Um…

00:39:12.905 --> 00:39:14.225 align:center
That.

00:39:15.625 --> 00:39:16.825 align:center
Well…

00:39:19.105 --> 00:39:20.545 align:center
Yes. Mm.

00:39:22.585 --> 00:39:25.025 align:center
Can it mean anything other than love?

00:39:25.105 --> 00:39:26.105 align:center
Prison.

00:39:27.265 --> 00:39:28.665 align:center
Not saying I agree with the law.

00:39:28.745 --> 00:39:31.745 align:center
I think if you're willing
to risk everything, it must be real.

00:39:33.225 --> 00:39:34.305 align:center
Real but secret.

00:39:36.385 --> 00:39:37.385 align:center
Yes.

00:39:38.665 --> 00:39:40.105 align:center
That's the world we live in.

00:39:44.185 --> 00:39:45.225 align:center
Is it someone we know?

00:39:46.505 --> 00:39:48.265 align:center
'Course not.

00:39:49.305 --> 00:39:51.145 align:center
I'm plotting my next story.

00:39:53.545 --> 00:39:56.105 align:center
Sounds a bit too scandalous
for publication.

00:39:56.185 --> 00:39:57.745 align:center
Yes.

00:39:57.825 --> 00:39:59.545 align:center
I think I need a new idea.

00:40:10.385 --> 00:40:13.225 align:center
"Love that lives in the shadows."

00:40:16.625 --> 00:40:18.065 align:center
How sad.

00:40:28.465 --> 00:40:29.705 align:center
Sybylla?

00:40:31.105 --> 00:40:32.345 align:center
Hi.

00:40:32.425 --> 00:40:34.105 align:center
Can I talk to you for a moment, please?

00:40:34.185 --> 00:40:35.505 align:center
Sure.

00:40:52.505 --> 00:40:54.345 align:center
Ah. Take a seat, sorry. Uh…

00:41:06.545 --> 00:41:08.865 align:center
Okay, when I came to Caddagat,

00:41:08.945 --> 00:41:11.345 align:center
the last thing
that I expected to find was…

00:41:12.265 --> 00:41:13.465 align:center
…was love.

00:41:16.145 --> 00:41:18.905 align:center
I was quite surprised myself.

00:41:20.105 --> 00:41:21.745 align:center
I can't hold it in anymore.

00:41:22.265 --> 00:41:24.145 align:center
You've completely captivated me.

00:41:24.225 --> 00:41:28.185 align:center
I've been thinking about life without you,
and I can't leave without asking…

00:41:31.185 --> 00:41:32.305 align:center
for you to marry me.

00:41:36.985 --> 00:41:38.625 align:center
But you don't even know what I want.

00:41:38.705 --> 00:41:39.825 align:center
Oh…

00:41:42.585 --> 00:41:44.945 align:center
What is it? I'll give you anything.

00:41:48.065 --> 00:41:50.025 align:center
I wanna look after my family.

00:41:50.545 --> 00:41:52.185 align:center
And I want to write.

00:41:52.705 --> 00:41:54.865 align:center
I want to earn my own money.

00:41:55.385 --> 00:41:57.545 align:center
- And work in your theater.
- Of course.

00:41:57.625 --> 00:42:00.265 align:center
Of course.
You'll be the face of the Alhambra.

00:42:00.345 --> 00:42:02.785 align:center
All of Sydney society
will be at your feet.

00:42:03.985 --> 00:42:05.345 align:center
As my wife.

00:42:16.585 --> 00:42:20.305 align:center
I thought the looks
that you've been giving me,

00:42:20.385 --> 00:42:21.545 align:center
your poem…

00:42:25.185 --> 00:42:27.385 align:center
It was a sample of my work.

00:42:27.465 --> 00:42:28.745 align:center
Ah…

00:42:28.825 --> 00:42:31.825 align:center
I never actually thought
that you'd wanna marry me.

00:42:31.905 --> 00:42:33.305 align:center
I played a game.

00:42:36.145 --> 00:42:38.265 align:center
But I saw you kissing my uncle.

00:42:39.705 --> 00:42:42.425 align:center
And I know that you're in love with him.

00:42:47.025 --> 00:42:48.065 align:center
You idiot.

00:42:48.945 --> 00:42:50.665 align:center
You idiot.

00:42:50.745 --> 00:42:52.865 align:center
No, I care so much for both of you.

00:42:52.945 --> 00:42:54.905 align:center
- That's a--
- Shut up, you stupid girl.

00:42:54.985 --> 00:42:57.825 align:center
Do you know the damage
you could do with these accusations?

00:42:57.905 --> 00:43:00.185 align:center
I…

00:43:01.465 --> 00:43:04.185 align:center
It could have been perfect.
Your little independence dream.

00:43:04.265 --> 00:43:06.545 align:center
Our cover. But you've ruined everything.

00:43:06.625 --> 00:43:07.985 align:center
I would never tell anyone.

00:43:08.065 --> 00:43:09.425 align:center
You'd better not.

00:43:14.065 --> 00:43:14.985 align:center
Bye.

00:43:15.065 --> 00:43:16.905 align:center
Goodbye, Sybylla.

00:43:24.305 --> 00:43:25.665 align:center
Everard, wait.

00:43:29.625 --> 00:43:30.625 align:center
Ev!

00:43:30.705 --> 00:43:32.185 align:center
- Oh no!
- What's going on?

00:43:32.905 --> 00:43:34.105 align:center
Why do you have your bag?

00:43:34.705 --> 00:43:35.665 align:center
I'm so sorry.

00:43:35.745 --> 00:43:37.385 align:center
Ev. Ev, what's happening?

00:43:37.985 --> 00:43:39.865 align:center
Please call your man.
I need to leave right away.

00:43:40.545 --> 00:43:44.105 align:center
- Leave? Why? What's happening?
- There is nothing to discuss.

00:43:44.625 --> 00:43:46.425 align:center
- What? This… Talk to me.
- There's…

00:43:46.505 --> 00:43:47.545 align:center
Hey, talk to me.

00:43:47.625 --> 00:43:51.505 align:center
There is nothing to discuss!
I am done with you and your family!

00:43:51.585 --> 00:43:54.065 align:center
Done with my family?
What are you talking about?

00:43:54.145 --> 00:43:57.185 align:center
- Everard's leaving?
- What, what are you…? I mean…

00:43:57.265 --> 00:43:59.625 align:center
- I have never been so humiliated.
- Calm down.

00:43:59.705 --> 00:44:01.225 align:center
Stay. You're acting like a child.

00:44:01.305 --> 00:44:03.545 align:center
I've never seen Julius so upset.

00:44:03.625 --> 00:44:05.385 align:center
It's over. Just accept it.

00:44:05.985 --> 00:44:07.665 align:center
What are they talking about?

00:44:07.745 --> 00:44:10.545 align:center
<i>Such a cruel game</i>

00:44:12.465 --> 00:44:15.025 align:center
<i>But it's not over yet</i>

00:44:15.105 --> 00:44:15.945 align:center
I turned him down.

00:44:16.985 --> 00:44:19.185 align:center
He asked me to marry him, and I said no.

00:44:20.025 --> 00:44:21.825 align:center
You turned down Everard Grey?

00:44:23.065 --> 00:44:24.065 align:center
I'm sorry.

00:44:24.785 --> 00:44:26.185 align:center
So am I.

00:44:30.905 --> 00:44:36.825 align:center
<i>It's over between my head and my heart</i>

00:44:36.905 --> 00:44:39.065 align:center
This is very bad, Sybylla.

00:44:40.665 --> 00:44:42.785 align:center
<i>What happens now</i>

00:44:42.865 --> 00:44:44.825 align:center
<i>What happens when</i>

00:44:44.905 --> 00:44:47.585 align:center
<i>The light starts to flip</i>

00:44:47.665 --> 00:44:50.585 align:center
<i>The light starts to dim</i>
