00:09.825 --> 00:11.385
<i>I'm going up the country</i>

00:11.465 --> 00:13.105
<i>Baby, don't you want to go?</i>

00:15.225 --> 00:16.905
<i>I'm going up the country</i>

00:16.985 --> 00:19.105
<i>Baby, don't you want to go…</i>

00:19.185 --> 00:22.505
Times are hard for everyone.
Your father included.

00:23.385 --> 00:26.185
How fortunate
he has a friend in you, Mr. McSwat.

00:26.265 --> 00:27.545
Indeed.

00:27.625 --> 00:29.905
Nothing wrong with a man
taking a risk in business.

00:29.985 --> 00:32.945
Except when he sends his daughters out
to repay his loans.

00:34.305 --> 00:36.905
That's good.

00:36.985 --> 00:38.905
You're cut from the same bolt of cloth,
all right.

00:39.585 --> 00:43.065
Very sharp.
We'll need all those smarts with our boys.

00:43.985 --> 00:46.225
- I thought you also had girls?
- I do.

00:46.305 --> 00:48.505
And between you and me,
they're a lot brighter.

00:48.585 --> 00:50.545
A shame they can't take over the business.

00:50.625 --> 00:52.385
They can't?

00:56.225 --> 00:58.585
Mrs. McSwat was expecting your sister.

00:59.105 --> 01:00.905
Thought you'd been sent to be married.

01:02.065 --> 01:04.225
You know what they say.
Those that can, marry,

01:04.305 --> 01:06.665
and those that can't, come work for you.

01:06.745 --> 01:09.225
<i>No use of you running</i>

01:09.305 --> 01:11.545
<i>Or screaming and crying</i>

01:12.345 --> 01:15.265
<i>'Cause you've got a home, man</i>

01:15.345 --> 01:16.345
Here we are.

01:16.425 --> 01:19.985
Your home for the year.
Our little patch of paradise.

01:21.265 --> 01:22.985
Whoa. Whoa.

01:23.505 --> 01:24.505
Stand.

01:26.065 --> 01:28.225
Cooee! McSwats!

01:28.305 --> 01:30.665
- Hey!
- She's here! She's here!

01:30.745 --> 01:32.425
- Slow down.
- Get her.

01:32.505 --> 01:36.105
- I wanna bring her in.
- Grab her dress!

01:36.185 --> 01:38.705
- Stop pushing me.
- Hey, I want to bring her in.

01:39.745 --> 01:41.665
- Out of my way!
- I've got it.

01:41.745 --> 01:43.465
- Go on.
- Okay.

01:44.625 --> 01:46.305
Let me show you my room.

01:46.385 --> 01:48.825
- Come on, hurry up.
- Let me through.

01:48.905 --> 01:50.825
- I'm gonna get ya!
- Stop chasing me.

01:50.905 --> 01:52.065
What are you doing?

01:52.145 --> 01:53.785
- I'm gonna get you!
- Come here.

01:53.865 --> 01:55.265
Oi, let go.

01:55.345 --> 01:56.785
- Careful.
- Get off, you scamps.

01:56.865 --> 01:58.305
- Hello my loves.
- Stop!

01:58.385 --> 02:00.305
- All of you!
- Leave it.

02:00.385 --> 02:01.985
I didn't, she did.

02:02.065 --> 02:04.945
- Who's this?
- Sybylla Melvyn, the sister.

02:05.025 --> 02:06.385
We can't have two of them.

02:06.465 --> 02:09.145
- It's just this one.
- You said the other one was the nice one.

02:09.225 --> 02:10.225
I'm the smart one.

02:12.585 --> 02:13.825
So you're not married?

02:14.625 --> 02:16.585
- That did not happen.
- But you <i>were </i>engaged?

02:16.665 --> 02:17.625
Yes.

02:18.345 --> 02:20.385
- So?
- It's complicated.

02:24.345 --> 02:26.385
Drought-related financial collapse.

02:30.345 --> 02:32.745
- He broke it off.
- Ah.

02:33.265 --> 02:36.465
Ah, well, we're happy
to have you here for the year.

02:36.545 --> 02:37.985
Even if you are an old spinster.

02:38.065 --> 02:40.465
Spinster!

02:40.545 --> 02:44.385
Spinster! Spinster! Spinster! Spinster!

02:44.465 --> 02:46.745
- Spinster! Spinster! Spinster!
- Hey! Hey! Hey!

02:46.825 --> 02:49.345
- Stop!
- Spinster! Spinster! Spinster!

02:49.425 --> 02:51.545
- Dinner!
- That's Mama's bowl.

02:51.625 --> 02:52.825
This way.

02:52.905 --> 02:54.865
- Sorry.
- Move!

02:54.945 --> 02:57.905
Both of you, get your hands off her.
Time to eat some grub.

03:01.105 --> 03:04.145
- Peter's courting Susie Duffy.
- Yeah, and her dad owns 1,000 acres.

03:04.225 --> 03:05.585
- Shut up, Jimmy.
- But he does!

03:05.665 --> 03:08.985
- Susie said it's rude to mention it.
- Well, she is a catch.

03:09.065 --> 03:11.305
And she sings the best of anyone else
in the district.

03:11.385 --> 03:12.625
Better.

03:15.185 --> 03:18.505
She sings better
than anyone else in the district.

03:20.425 --> 03:22.385
We knew what you meant, Liza.

03:24.425 --> 03:28.625
- Well, can we call you Sybylla?
- Miss Melvyn's here to educate you.

03:28.705 --> 03:30.545
- Not me.
- Definitely not.

03:30.625 --> 03:33.425
She will also do breakfast, sweeping,

03:33.505 --> 03:36.825
chickens, vegetable garden,
as well as helping out with the children.

03:37.745 --> 03:38.905
All right.

03:38.985 --> 03:40.945
- Dig in, McSwats.
- Here you go, darling.

03:41.025 --> 03:42.345
About time you had some help.

03:42.425 --> 03:47.425
Well, it'll be nice to have someone else
to scrub Jimmy's dirty pants.

03:47.505 --> 03:48.425
I'm not dirty.

03:48.505 --> 03:49.425
Are so!

03:49.505 --> 03:52.105
Oh! Don't <i>you </i>start.
Let's not get started on you.

03:52.185 --> 03:54.185
Remember that dead rat sandwich?

03:54.265 --> 03:56.665
Rat sandwich.

03:59.305 --> 04:02.265
- Tommy, stop it. Stop it, Tommy!
- That was disgusting.

04:02.345 --> 04:04.945
May I see… my room?

04:05.025 --> 04:06.065
I'll do it.

04:07.185 --> 04:10.225
What about a Sunday watch?
Does he have a Sunday watch?

04:10.305 --> 04:13.265
Tell Mr. Duffy I have
six fine gold watches in this week.

04:18.105 --> 04:19.625
She thinks she's a toff,

04:19.705 --> 04:22.025
but she's only
old boozy Melvyn's daughter.

04:22.105 --> 04:24.545
- Thought she'd be prettier.
- That was her sister.

04:24.625 --> 04:27.225
- This is the one we've got.
- Well, why did we get this one?

04:27.305 --> 04:28.505
Don't be mean.

04:28.585 --> 04:31.705
They should be grateful
we're taking her off their hands.

04:31.785 --> 04:33.825
I had no choice. She had her bags packed.

04:33.905 --> 04:37.385
- It's on your head.
- No, it's on yours.

04:37.465 --> 04:39.625
Mama, is she our servant now?

04:39.705 --> 04:41.905
- I didn't eat it.
- Yes, you did.

04:54.505 --> 04:55.825
<i>Goodbye my darling.</i>

05:01.305 --> 05:02.225
<i>Oh, Syb.</i>

05:06.345 --> 05:08.105
You don't have to do this.

05:08.625 --> 05:09.625
Have you met me?

05:11.865 --> 05:17.025
You're a Bossier.
We bend, but we do not break.

05:18.465 --> 05:20.825
That's the nicest thing
you've ever said to me.

05:32.585 --> 05:33.625
Chin up.

06:17.945 --> 06:19.665
What's your favorite book, Liza?

06:19.745 --> 06:21.145
Mum and I like the catalogs.

06:21.825 --> 06:23.145
Do you know those?

06:23.705 --> 06:24.625
For buying things?

06:24.705 --> 06:27.665
Exactly. I like the pictures.

06:29.865 --> 06:31.065
Come on, miss.

06:33.145 --> 06:35.945
- Tommy's as slow as a wet rag!
- Too slow, Tommy! Beat it.

06:36.025 --> 06:37.505
Slow, slow, slow.

06:39.625 --> 06:42.185
- Time to sit down now, children.
- Take that!

06:42.265 --> 06:43.785
- Move! Move!
- Sit down!

06:44.665 --> 06:46.665
That's my desk.

06:47.225 --> 06:49.265
Yes! It's come from Possum Gully.

06:49.345 --> 06:50.745
So what? Toughen up!

06:50.825 --> 06:53.145
- Haha, you missed me!
- Stop!

06:54.625 --> 06:57.585
Good job, Lucy!

06:57.665 --> 06:59.465
You named her after my Mama?

06:59.545 --> 07:00.625
She's a good layer.

07:00.705 --> 07:02.465
Get Jimmy! Don't aim for me!

07:02.545 --> 07:03.985
- Get Liza!
- Got you!

07:04.065 --> 07:06.305
- Stop!
- Friends! Stop fighting!

07:06.385 --> 07:08.225
Children! Liza!

07:08.305 --> 07:09.545
Ouch!

07:10.785 --> 07:12.665
- Stop!
- Liza!

07:12.745 --> 07:16.305
When I count to three
I want everybody to freeze.

07:25.825 --> 07:27.625
<i>Dearest Harry,</i>

07:28.985 --> 07:31.345
<i>If you could see me now.</i>

07:31.865 --> 07:34.705
<i>My days, filled with drudgery.</i>

07:35.225 --> 07:38.305
<i>Time here passes slow as mud.</i>

07:39.505 --> 07:43.345
<i>Like Mama's stolen piano, my keys exist,</i>

07:43.425 --> 07:45.825
<i>but I've long since lost my tune.</i>

07:47.585 --> 07:50.625
<i>All this solitude makes my mind wander.</i>

07:50.705 --> 07:54.505
<i>And of course, I journey towards you.</i>

07:55.305 --> 07:57.625
<i>My heart flies through the skies,</i>

07:57.705 --> 08:01.305
<i>across this vast country</i>
<i>to try and find you.</i>

08:03.345 --> 08:04.985
<i>Where are you, my love?</i>

08:09.425 --> 08:10.545
- Oh, Mum. Mum.
- Mm?

08:10.625 --> 08:11.945
Look at these gloves.

08:12.545 --> 08:14.425
- "Finnest"?
- "Finest leather."

08:14.505 --> 08:15.625
Oh, shall we have some?

08:19.345 --> 08:21.825
<i>One letter from you</i>
<i>would make my heart sing again.</i>

08:22.905 --> 08:27.425
<i>But your silence</i>
<i>only multiplies my loneliness.</i>

08:29.705 --> 08:31.505
Jimmy, if I have two shillings
in my purse,

08:31.585 --> 08:34.825
and the bread comes to one and six,
how much change do I get?

08:34.905 --> 08:35.865
None.

08:35.945 --> 08:39.025
'Cause your family don't have
two shillings to rub together no more.

08:39.105 --> 08:41.385
Nice one, Jimmy.

08:46.185 --> 08:50.185
<i>Write to me, Harry.</i>
<i>Tell me I'm not forgotten.</i>

08:51.345 --> 08:54.745
<i>Help me remember</i>
<i>the dream of our life together.</i>

08:55.425 --> 08:59.465
<i>Where all we need to flourish is our love.</i>

09:26.665 --> 09:30.585
- Are you ready for her tea party?
- Yeah, I'm going.

09:31.105 --> 09:33.985
Do you like my doll? It's so pretty.

09:34.065 --> 09:35.225
It's nice.

09:35.745 --> 09:37.105
Jimmy.

09:38.425 --> 09:39.785
Stop doing that.

09:43.865 --> 09:45.465
James.

10:01.425 --> 10:02.505
Mama!

10:03.585 --> 10:04.665
Mama!

10:19.985 --> 10:22.265
Did she hurt you?
You tell Mama everything.

10:25.385 --> 10:28.465
Outside! Go on,
all you kids, out of there.

10:35.305 --> 10:37.585
- Jimmy says you thrashed him.
- I never touched him.

10:37.665 --> 10:39.505
- Are you calling him a liar?
- Yes.

10:39.585 --> 10:42.745
Plus, he's disobedient,
boisterous, and obstreperous.

10:42.825 --> 10:44.425
Oh, big words!

10:44.505 --> 10:45.985
You think you're so high-and-mighty,

10:46.065 --> 10:48.145
coming in here
with all your airs and your graces,

10:48.225 --> 10:52.265
but what exactly
have you taught my children?

10:52.785 --> 10:54.665
- Maybe they're unteachable.
- Them?

10:54.745 --> 10:59.465
You are as hopeless as your father
and as stuck-up as your mother.

11:00.985 --> 11:05.425
Well, you're all feral.
And this place is like hell!

11:06.665 --> 11:07.825
Is it, now?

11:10.025 --> 11:13.265
Well, maybe instead of walking around here

11:13.345 --> 11:17.145
with your nose stuck up in the air
judging us,

11:17.825 --> 11:20.825
you could do something
to make my children actually respect you,

11:20.905 --> 11:23.385
and <i>then </i>maybe they'd learn something.

11:29.705 --> 11:30.905
- Excuse me.
- Mm-hmm.

12:02.345 --> 12:04.905
- Right, I'm off. I'm seeing Susie.
- Bye, love.

12:04.985 --> 12:05.825
Bye-bye.

12:05.905 --> 12:08.225
- Say hello to Susie for me.
- Yeah, I will.

12:08.305 --> 12:12.145
- Scared her off last time.
- I did not! I was asking questions.

12:12.225 --> 12:14.105
- Don't.
- Don't let the rats break you.

12:15.745 --> 12:17.825
- She was scary.
- I was not mean.

12:17.905 --> 12:19.745
- I believe that.
- She was.

12:19.825 --> 12:22.625
- You stormed in there.
- I wasn't. Beg your pardon.

12:22.705 --> 12:24.905
But you're not the one
who can step in here and do that.

12:24.985 --> 12:26.185
I was not mean.

12:26.265 --> 12:27.465
You were!

12:41.265 --> 12:42.825
You never thrashed me.

12:43.345 --> 12:45.385
I've got a big mouth, and I'm rowdy as.

12:45.465 --> 12:46.785
Sorry, miss.

13:09.505 --> 13:11.905
The children should have
new school primers.

13:13.585 --> 13:14.905
And the piano needs tuning.

13:17.825 --> 13:20.465
- Mm.
- Right, yes.

13:21.305 --> 13:22.225
So…

13:22.305 --> 13:24.425
- How scary was she?
- Just could hear her.

13:24.505 --> 13:25.665
Neighbors could hear.

13:25.745 --> 13:27.265
- Neighbors could hear?
- Yeah.

13:27.345 --> 13:30.465
- Yes, they could. 100%. They could.
- Was she that scary?

13:30.545 --> 13:32.625
- Like a bunyip?
- Kept it on the down-low.

13:32.705 --> 13:34.825
Very scary. Tell you what…

13:34.905 --> 13:37.825
- She was, like… She was scary.
- Like a bunyip?

13:37.905 --> 13:39.905
- I wasn't--
- Like a bunyip!

13:44.345 --> 13:45.465
Give me another word.

13:45.545 --> 13:48.145
- Snot!
- That's a little short, don't you think?

13:48.225 --> 13:50.185
How about we stretch ourselves?

13:50.265 --> 13:51.625
- Phlegm?
- Diarrhea!

13:51.705 --> 13:54.785
Yes! That's very tricky to spell.

13:55.825 --> 13:58.625
One, two, three, four, five…

14:15.465 --> 14:16.425
That looks nice.

14:17.065 --> 14:18.065
It does.

14:18.585 --> 14:19.905
I like this one.

14:20.425 --> 14:21.945
Oh, I think I'd wear that.

14:23.105 --> 14:25.745
- But I would not wear that.
- No.

14:36.945 --> 14:40.905
After we deliver this lot,
I've got another job lined up for us.

14:40.985 --> 14:42.385
Good one, boss.

14:43.505 --> 14:45.585
The more sheep we move, the more we earn,

14:45.665 --> 14:48.025
and the quicker
we can all get back to our lives.

14:48.105 --> 14:50.065
So have you written to Sybylla yet?

14:59.465 --> 15:00.305
Go, go, go.

15:00.385 --> 15:01.945
Son!

15:03.065 --> 15:04.945
- We have a visitor!
- Oh.

15:05.705 --> 15:06.705
Hello.

15:07.905 --> 15:10.785
Susie Duffy. Uh, pity you are early.

15:10.865 --> 15:13.105
Kids, clear the table.
Sybylla, put the kettle on.

15:13.185 --> 15:15.065
- Sarah, pick that up.
- Susie.

15:15.145 --> 15:17.385
- What an honor. Sit.
- Yes.

15:17.465 --> 15:20.505
- Clear the table.
- Over here.

15:20.585 --> 15:22.585
- Just take it.
- Yes.

15:22.665 --> 15:24.305
Oh no, no, not that one. Not that one.

15:24.385 --> 15:26.185
Jimmy, get the good chair.

15:26.265 --> 15:28.345
- I'll get it.
- That's not the best.

15:28.425 --> 15:30.345
You wouldn't know a good chair
if you sat on one.

15:30.425 --> 15:32.265
- I like this.
- It's too small.

15:32.345 --> 15:34.465
Very pleased to meet you, Susie Duffy.

15:34.545 --> 15:36.825
- Sybylla Melvyn.
- Hello, Sybylla.

15:39.265 --> 15:42.225
Steady on.
Come on, now. You're just making it worse.

15:42.305 --> 15:44.105
- You don't have the right chair.
- Yes.

15:44.185 --> 15:47.785
- Mary-Anne, come and help me.
- I have the chair.

15:47.865 --> 15:49.865
- Good boy.
- Good lad.

15:49.945 --> 15:52.905
- Good, Jimmy. Great.
- Mama. Come on.

15:52.985 --> 15:55.945
- Come on, quick.
- Sit. Sit. Sit.

15:56.025 --> 15:57.825
- Sit down there.
- Come on.

15:57.905 --> 16:00.145
- Thank you, Peter.
- Don't pick your nose.

16:00.225 --> 16:02.665
Where'd you get your dress?

16:03.985 --> 16:06.425
- That's breeding for you.
- Go. Give the girl air.

16:06.505 --> 16:08.585
- Kettle? Kettle.
- Yeah, scram!

16:11.545 --> 16:13.625
Here we go. There.

16:16.825 --> 16:18.465
Susie Duffy.

16:28.825 --> 16:30.945
All right, you lot. Time for bed.

16:31.025 --> 16:33.025
I'm not even tired.

16:43.145 --> 16:44.625
Get over here.

16:48.785 --> 16:49.985
Come here!

16:54.825 --> 16:56.865
Come here.

17:06.065 --> 17:12.025
"Archibald Butler is
a world-renowned traveling photographer."

17:12.105 --> 17:13.505
Can we?

17:14.025 --> 17:15.265
<i>May </i>we?

17:15.785 --> 17:16.865
And of course…

17:17.785 --> 17:20.385
- Ah, the school primers.
- Ah.

17:20.465 --> 17:23.065
And a letter.
Looks like it's from Caddagat.

17:29.465 --> 17:30.505
Hmm.

17:32.505 --> 17:36.105
<i>Syb, I have news I know you'd like.</i>

17:37.745 --> 17:40.585
Oh, I'm sorry
to leave you here alone, Gert.

17:40.665 --> 17:43.905
Don't let mother talk you into marrying
any old suitor who comes along.

17:43.985 --> 17:45.665
I won't.

17:45.745 --> 17:48.145
That schoolteacher from Gool Gool
asked me for another walk.

17:48.225 --> 17:49.305
Oh, I like him.

17:49.385 --> 17:50.625
Me too.

17:50.705 --> 17:51.785
Shall we?

17:51.865 --> 17:53.945
So you're leaving without saying goodbye?

17:54.025 --> 17:55.825
Of course not.

17:55.905 --> 17:59.225
Be sensible, Helen.
How can this possibly be a plan?

17:59.305 --> 18:03.705
Well… Julius is gonna take me
to Gool Gool.

18:03.785 --> 18:05.705
I'm gonna take the mail coach
and train to Sydney.

18:05.785 --> 18:08.585
- Augusta's gonna meet me.
- Don't be facetious. You know what I mean.

18:09.625 --> 18:12.945
- It's time, Mother. We both know it.
- This is ridiculous.

18:13.025 --> 18:14.905
- What are you going to do?
- Get a job.

18:15.825 --> 18:16.825
A job?

18:19.945 --> 18:22.825
I need you, Helen. Julius needs you.

18:22.905 --> 18:24.785
Oh, no, no. I don't <i>need </i>you.

18:24.865 --> 18:27.905
I mean, we'll <i>miss </i>you,
but I fully support Hels leaving.

18:27.985 --> 18:29.345
Thank you, J.

18:33.145 --> 18:36.545
My husband ran off
and left me with nothing.

18:37.065 --> 18:39.065
Why should I carry the shame
of something that he did

18:39.145 --> 18:40.185
for the rest of my life?

18:40.265 --> 18:42.105
Oh, Helen, buck up.

18:43.665 --> 18:46.185
I'm done. I did what you asked.

18:46.785 --> 18:48.105
Helen.

18:48.745 --> 18:50.065
Times are changing, Mother.

18:50.145 --> 18:51.865
No, Helen, please don't go.

18:54.585 --> 18:56.425
Helen!

18:59.345 --> 19:00.505
I told you you'd like it.

19:02.745 --> 19:03.865
Go, Helen!

19:09.745 --> 19:12.385
Lovely. Now with the whole family.

19:14.265 --> 19:16.625
- Right. Don't push. Oi!
- Good.

19:16.705 --> 19:19.265
You need to assert yourself
with this lot, Susie.

19:19.345 --> 19:21.065
I wouldn't know where to start.

19:22.225 --> 19:24.505
Make room for Susie Duffy, you monsters.

19:24.585 --> 19:25.945
Sarah in, that's it.

19:26.025 --> 19:27.865
- That's too much.
- Over you go, Jimmy.

19:28.585 --> 19:29.985
I'll pop in here.

19:31.385 --> 19:32.225
Hold still.

19:32.305 --> 19:35.305
This is very kind of you
to include me, Mr. McSwat.

19:35.385 --> 19:39.585
I hope you don't look at this photograph
next year and think, who is that girl?

19:39.665 --> 19:41.105
Didn't your parents write?

19:41.185 --> 19:43.265
Your father defaulted on his loan.

19:43.345 --> 19:45.705
We have you for another year.

19:53.505 --> 19:55.985
Did you know?
That I was in for another year?

19:56.065 --> 19:58.625
- Well, your dad's pretty hopeless.
- That's fair.

19:58.705 --> 20:00.505
Why do <i>I </i>have to pay for it?

20:00.585 --> 20:01.945
I'm sorry you didn't know.

20:06.585 --> 20:08.425
Don't cry, Peter.

20:09.145 --> 20:10.545
- I'll work something out.
- No, it's…

20:12.625 --> 20:14.745
Uh, it's Susie. She's, um…

20:14.825 --> 20:17.265
She's worried
that we'll end up like my parents.

20:17.785 --> 20:18.785
Common.

20:19.825 --> 20:21.505
She said "common"?

20:21.585 --> 20:24.345
- Well, you think it.
- No.

20:27.105 --> 20:28.945
I mean, I used to.

20:29.025 --> 20:30.305
It's true.

20:30.385 --> 20:33.345
She's so good, and she's kind.

20:33.425 --> 20:36.145
And I love her
more than anything in this world.

20:38.065 --> 20:39.585
I know she feels the same.

20:40.345 --> 20:42.545
No, she's broken it off with me.

20:45.785 --> 20:47.625
Peter, listen.

20:48.145 --> 20:52.705
If you let Susie go, you will regret it
for the rest of your days.

20:52.785 --> 20:54.105
You need to write to her.

20:54.185 --> 20:56.065
And tell her the things
that you love about her.

20:56.145 --> 20:57.465
But I can't write.

20:57.545 --> 20:58.785
I can't. Not like that.

21:01.625 --> 21:04.625
I think I have an idea.

21:04.705 --> 21:06.865
And it might help us both.

21:06.945 --> 21:09.985
But you have to tell me
all the things that you love about Susie.

21:11.265 --> 21:16.185
Like… do you love the way
his eyes crinkle when he laughs?

21:16.265 --> 21:18.025
She.

21:18.105 --> 21:20.425
<i>She</i>. I meant she.

21:20.505 --> 21:23.105
I like the sound of her laugh.

21:23.185 --> 21:25.305
We can work with that.

21:26.905 --> 21:27.905
What else?

21:28.425 --> 21:31.345
Uh, I like how she's so clean.

21:43.505 --> 21:44.625
It's done.

21:44.705 --> 21:46.225
Not yet.

21:48.785 --> 21:50.345
Do you promise to help me?

21:51.225 --> 21:52.265
I do.

21:53.025 --> 21:54.265
Then here's the letter.

21:55.825 --> 21:57.505
I've added three poems for good luck.

21:57.585 --> 22:00.825
Send them in exactly the order
they appear on the pile.

22:01.625 --> 22:04.185
Susie won't be able to resist you, Peter.

22:04.265 --> 22:05.865
I think Ma's right about you.

22:06.465 --> 22:08.905
Beneath all your airs and your graces,

22:10.065 --> 22:11.025
you're all right.

22:13.905 --> 22:15.185
I'll take it.

22:16.425 --> 22:18.145
- Now…
- Oh.

22:18.225 --> 22:20.025
Are you ready for part two of the plan?

22:20.785 --> 22:21.785
Come on.

22:28.705 --> 22:29.825
Mm.

22:34.305 --> 22:35.825
Peter!

22:40.545 --> 22:41.545
Stop!

22:52.985 --> 22:54.905
Horace! Horace!

22:55.825 --> 22:58.945
You're stealing our Peter
away from Susie Duffy, and it is not on.

22:59.025 --> 23:02.225
- Well, let's give the girl a chance.
- We've given her everything.

23:02.305 --> 23:05.225
This is how she repays us,
like a snake in the grass?

23:05.305 --> 23:07.385
A betrayer. Jezebel.

23:07.465 --> 23:10.025
Language, Mother.
We don't know the full story.

23:10.105 --> 23:12.545
Well, what was that
I just saw with my own eyes?

23:13.185 --> 23:14.505
We're in love.

23:16.465 --> 23:18.345
No. Not our Peter.

23:19.145 --> 23:20.625
Why don't you ask him?

23:22.665 --> 23:25.665
He was on his way to break it all off
with Susie Duffy when you stopped us.

23:25.745 --> 23:27.065
Thank God I did.

23:27.145 --> 23:29.185
I realize how destitute I must seem.

23:29.265 --> 23:31.985
And my papa already owes you so much.

23:32.065 --> 23:36.145
But I know how thrilled he'll be
once we're all family.

23:39.305 --> 23:40.905
Peter. Son.

23:41.665 --> 23:42.865
Be honest.

23:42.945 --> 23:46.345
Are you really choosing
this girl over Susie?

23:56.745 --> 23:57.745
I would never.

23:58.505 --> 24:01.425
Peter McSwat!
You're not getting away with this.

24:01.505 --> 24:03.945
I'm gonna tell the world what you've done!

24:04.025 --> 24:05.865
Starting with Susie Duffy.

24:10.065 --> 24:12.105
And what would it take to shut you up?

24:26.985 --> 24:28.185
Sybylla?

24:29.105 --> 24:30.545
Eddie.

24:31.345 --> 24:33.145
You've come on like a haystack.

24:33.225 --> 24:35.025
You look like cow shit.

24:37.625 --> 24:38.625
How you been?

24:38.705 --> 24:40.265
I hate this place.

24:40.785 --> 24:43.025
- Dad's hopeless.
- Sybylla?

24:47.105 --> 24:48.505
Can you fetch the desk?

24:58.825 --> 25:02.905
"There was an unfortunate incident
between Sybylla and our Peter."

25:02.985 --> 25:06.465
"Best Sybylla come home
before causing any more trouble."

25:06.545 --> 25:09.145
- What incident?
- It was nothing.

25:09.785 --> 25:10.945
What about our loan?

25:11.785 --> 25:12.785
Read on.

25:16.905 --> 25:18.265
They've cleared your father's loan?

25:18.865 --> 25:20.065
With one condition.

25:20.585 --> 25:23.425
Papa is never allowed
to borrow money from McSwat ever again.

25:23.505 --> 25:26.305
This is a lot of money for nothing.

25:26.825 --> 25:28.865
Be honest. What did you do?

25:30.505 --> 25:33.985
I finally found the inspiration I needed
to put pen to paper.

25:34.065 --> 25:37.225
Sybylla, I don't have
any patience today for your nonsense.

25:38.105 --> 25:39.665
And yet, here we are.

25:40.185 --> 25:43.985
Free of the McSwats forever.
Because of me.

25:45.985 --> 25:48.305
Definitely my best work.

25:57.385 --> 25:59.665
Stop, you're going too fast.
Too fast. Keep up.

25:59.745 --> 26:02.065
- Under.
- I'm trying. You're too fast.

26:10.825 --> 26:11.825
Sybylla.

26:13.945 --> 26:14.945
You're back?

26:16.145 --> 26:17.545
And you're debt-free.

26:19.225 --> 26:22.545
It's hard to believe,
but the McSwats are finally off our back.

26:23.185 --> 26:24.905
We don't owe them anything.

26:36.985 --> 26:38.505
Trust you to fix it, Syb.

26:38.585 --> 26:41.385
You always were too clever by half.

26:42.545 --> 26:44.465
Let's get some food on the table.

26:44.545 --> 26:45.905
Come on. Sit down.

26:45.985 --> 26:47.025
Come on.

26:57.585 --> 26:59.305
Florence, would you like some bread?

27:19.865 --> 27:20.865
Me too.

27:22.505 --> 27:24.065
Granny gave it to me.

27:24.585 --> 27:29.425
Told me,
"Bossiers bend, but we do not break."

27:29.505 --> 27:32.785
That sounds like my mother.

27:35.985 --> 27:36.985
Take it, Mama.

27:41.905 --> 27:44.145
I'll save it for an emergency.

27:48.745 --> 27:50.825
Helen told me about Harry Beecham.

27:51.345 --> 27:53.785
I think he's forgotten about me, Mama.

27:54.305 --> 27:56.145
Oh, Syb.

27:57.305 --> 27:58.705
I'm sorry.

28:02.185 --> 28:04.465
How do you know if love is real?

28:09.985 --> 28:12.625
You sacrifice everything for it.

28:29.785 --> 28:31.985
We're doing well. Let's set up camp.

28:32.825 --> 28:34.385
Here's the thing.

28:34.465 --> 28:37.465
Nell and me, we were thinking
we'd go back up to Queensland.

28:38.505 --> 28:39.585
One more job.

28:39.665 --> 28:41.505
We've been following you around all year.

28:41.585 --> 28:43.585
And you know
Charlie wants to find his mob.

28:43.665 --> 28:45.265
We need the pay, Nell.

28:45.345 --> 28:47.225
I have to keep saving.

28:47.825 --> 28:49.825
You really think
Sybylla cares what you have?

28:50.985 --> 28:53.065
I need to make it up to her.
I let her down.

28:53.585 --> 28:54.585
Yeah, you did.

28:55.105 --> 28:56.865
So what are you gonna do about it?

29:39.585 --> 29:42.185
<i>The summer of 1900 scorched the earth</i>

29:42.265 --> 29:45.865
<i>with the same careless brutality</i>
<i>as the banks.</i>

29:45.945 --> 29:48.465
<i>Even the shadows splintered</i>
<i>under the heat,</i>

29:48.545 --> 29:50.825
<i>and not a creek dared whisper.</i>

29:53.225 --> 29:54.225
Been shopping?

29:54.305 --> 29:55.905
Came into some money.

29:57.985 --> 29:59.065
You sold your necklace?

29:59.145 --> 30:01.225
Found an emergency.

30:02.585 --> 30:05.785
I read your story
about the bushranger and his friend Cora.

30:05.865 --> 30:08.905
That story got rejected. Veracity issues.

30:08.985 --> 30:12.705
Which is fair. I really don't know
anything about bushranging.

30:14.545 --> 30:16.665
So write <i>your </i>truth, Sybylla.

30:31.385 --> 30:34.345
Do you think you're a good writer?

30:35.145 --> 30:36.145
Yes.

32:10.665 --> 32:11.865
Give it here.

33:01.585 --> 33:02.825
Harry!

33:12.025 --> 33:13.185
You're here.

33:22.825 --> 33:24.145
You're here.

33:26.265 --> 33:27.905
I've been an idiot, Syb.

33:28.465 --> 33:29.625
Possibly.

33:31.225 --> 33:32.145
I should've written.

33:33.225 --> 33:34.785
I didn't know what to say.

33:36.785 --> 33:38.145
Harry, you're here now.

33:41.505 --> 33:45.105
Syb. I've been earning good money droving.

33:45.625 --> 33:47.905
I should have enough
for a farm near Gool Gool.

33:49.945 --> 33:51.505
I'm so happy for you.

33:51.585 --> 33:53.425
Happy for us.

33:54.825 --> 33:59.225
I wanted to give you more,
but I've already wasted too much time.

34:01.265 --> 34:03.185
Sybylla Melvyn…

34:03.945 --> 34:05.825
Let's start our lives together.

34:07.345 --> 34:08.705
Will you marry me?

34:13.985 --> 34:14.985
No.

34:21.105 --> 34:22.105
No?

34:23.385 --> 34:24.705
No.

34:27.265 --> 34:29.025
I don't understand.

34:31.345 --> 34:33.185
I can't marry you, Harry.

34:37.625 --> 34:40.305
I've come to take you away
from all of this.

34:43.305 --> 34:45.265
I don't need to be rescued.

34:57.665 --> 34:59.105
It's not you, Harry.

35:01.625 --> 35:03.745
There's something deep inside of me

35:03.825 --> 35:06.865
that makes me unsuitable
to be anyone's wife.

35:08.785 --> 35:11.625
And if I denied it air and time

35:11.705 --> 35:15.025
and space to flourish,
it would destroy both our dreams.

35:19.065 --> 35:20.745
I want to be a writer.

35:22.945 --> 35:26.225
And I need to give it
every fiber of my being.

35:28.545 --> 35:31.345
If I marry you, I'll never know if I can.

35:59.425 --> 36:01.265
<i>White, silicon eyes</i>

36:01.345 --> 36:04.985
<i>Watching storms, sitting quiet</i>

36:05.065 --> 36:06.785
<i>Reading books</i>

36:06.865 --> 36:10.465
<i>In the heat of city lights</i>

36:12.505 --> 36:15.985
<i>I know I'm just a girl</i>

36:16.065 --> 36:17.865
<i>But can I change lives?</i>

36:17.945 --> 36:19.665
<i>If I am nothing</i>

36:19.745 --> 36:21.305
<i>If I am trying</i>

36:21.385 --> 36:24.785
<i>I think I can</i>

36:24.865 --> 36:26.425
<i>And we become</i>

36:26.505 --> 36:27.945
<i>Nighttime dreamers</i>

36:28.025 --> 36:31.505
<i>And street walkers, small talkers</i>

36:31.585 --> 36:34.185
<i>When we should be daydreamers</i>

36:34.265 --> 36:36.105
<i>And moonwalkers</i>

36:36.185 --> 36:37.705
<i>And dream talkers</i>

36:37.785 --> 36:39.545
<i>And we become</i>

36:39.625 --> 36:40.905
<i>Nighttime dreamers…</i>

36:42.465 --> 36:44.185
<i>Small talkers</i>

36:44.265 --> 36:47.585
<i>When we should be daydreamers</i>

36:47.665 --> 36:49.345
<i>And moonwalkers</i>

36:49.425 --> 36:52.145
<i>And dream talkers</i>

36:52.225 --> 36:55.145
<i>Nothing can die while we are here</i>

36:55.225 --> 36:58.385
<i>Nothing can die while we are here</i>

36:58.465 --> 37:01.665
<i>Nothing can die while we are here</i>

37:01.745 --> 37:04.145
<i>Nothing can die while we are here</i>

37:04.225 --> 37:07.505
<i>Then we become nighttime dreamers</i>

37:07.585 --> 37:10.225
<i>Street walkers and small talkers</i>

37:10.305 --> 37:12.465
<i>We should be</i>

37:12.545 --> 37:15.825
<i>Daydreamers and moonwalkers</i>

37:15.905 --> 37:19.185
<i>Dream talkers and we become</i>

37:19.265 --> 37:22.545
<i>Nighttime dreamers and street walkers</i>

37:22.625 --> 37:25.905
<i>And small talkers, and we should be</i>

37:25.985 --> 37:28.145
<i>Nothing can die while we are here</i>

37:28.225 --> 37:32.505
<i>- Nothing can die while we are here</i>
<i>- Daydreamers</i>
