" Flowers for the pews in the church?" " Me." "Can you make sure they match the bridesmaids?" "We've been through this." "Many a slip twixt cup and lip." "Rice?" "Shirley." "Shirley." "Can you double-check that because...?" " I'll buy a bag." " Mmm." "Oh, Deanna is grumpy." "She's teething, poor baby." "Have you tried that gel you rub on your gums?" "Yep." "And I've tried lullabies and I've tried warm milk." "Ooh!" "I think it's that clown that juggles here sometimes." "He's really good." "Has anyone got a hacksaw?" " Or some boltcutters?" " Oh!" "I've got a meeting." "Simon?" "Hey." "This is Michael." "It's my... best man." "Is it?" "♪ You think that I don't feel love ♪" "♪ What I feel for you is real love ♪" "♪ In other's eyes I see reflected ♪" "♪ A hurt, scorned, rejected ♪" "♪ Love child, different from the rest. ♪" "Thank you, I'll be continuing on." "I can't go in like this." "I'm meeting a priest." "Give him your clothes." "Hey?" "Do as you're told or I'll kick you both out right here." "He's normally very punctual." "Sometimes he gets called into emergency surgery at the last minute." "He has a very responsible job." "He has people's lives in his hands." "I hope..." "I'm sorry, I got caught up." "I have a baptism in half an hour so we should move this along." " Definitely." " Yeah." "So, Simon you are happy to convert to the one true faith?" "Yes, thank you, Father, I am." "Thank you." "Tell me, what does your faith mean to you, Simon?" "Simon finds a great inner strength and a moral compass in his belief." "Can I speak to Simon by himself?" "I don't know where Jim is." "A lot of people hate him." "I'd run too." "We want to offer Jim a deal, protection in return for information." "What he knows about corrupt business links to government." "Suddenly you're interested." "He's been screaming about that for months." "Helping us will play well for your husband." "Can you get his manslaughter charge dropped?" "Nah, trial's up and running but we can get him a reduced sentence if he is convicted." "Gentleman." "I'd like my doctor back." "My number, in case he calls." "I'll set up a meeting, just him and us." "If he doesn't like what we're offering, he can walk away." "Hey!" "Viv!" "Um... just one sec." "Hey." "Let's go out to dinner tonight." "I'm sorry, Pete, I can't." "Well, hey, hey." "Um..." "Lunch then, tomorrow?" "If you're free." "You really believe your husband will be killed if he shows up in court?" " Jim believes it." " Killed by whom?" "Developers who are paying off politicians." "They're afraid he'll name names if he's put on the stand." " Will he?" " He might." "They had him beaten when he was on remand." "Are you Okay?" "I've just been tired lately." " Maybe we should do a blood test." " Later." "You're supposed to be on leave." "I've taken myself off the surgical roster." "Life doesn't run on straight lines, does it?" "It's circular." "Maggie, come through." "Your baby's moved." "As the birth gets closer, the head moves downwards." "It's a good sign." "It means it will be born soon." "Have you noticed the baby kicking?" "Maggie, don't be scared." "When the time comes, I'll be there." "Is Maggie not speaking at all?" "It's a defence mechanism." "Have you told her that she won't be sent back to that prison she was in?" "Yes, she'll go to a church home." "If I can get her a job as a domestic, will that keep her from going to another home?" "I don't know." "You can do better than that." "I'm not a magician." "Now, do you want anything?" "No, thanks." "Listen, try not to worry about Maggie." "We'll find a way." "The police wanna make a deal." "Oh, it's amazing!" "Wow, Pattie." " Where did you learn to do this?" " School." "It's a bit loose there." "Don't worry, I will fix that." "Is that an engagement ring?" " Viv?" " Oh, Vivien Maguire, you dark horse." "How long have you had that?" "Pete gave it to me today." "But he doesn't want me to have contact with the twins." " What?" " Why not?" "Because they're not his." " You can talk into it." " Yeah, he'll come around." "Martha, you look stunning." "Viv, can I have a quick word?" "Beautiful." "Now, we'll take it off and put it back in the box so you don't rip it like you did with mine." "I'm just saying." "Annie, what is it?" "Hello Simon." "Are you feeling better?" "Yeah, thanks." "What?" "I'm not sure Pete's the man you think he is." "Spoke to Father Bryant." "Turn around, you're not allowed to see the dress!" "Quick!" "You spoke to the Father?" "Martha, I'm a terrible liar." "He doesn't believe I believe." "We rehearsed that meeting for weeks." "He says he won't marry us." "The P..." "Pope won't allow it." "I'm gonna make some tea." "We'll find another priest or a minister." "And get married on the sly somewhere?" "Like an embarrassment." "Oh no, we're not an embarrassment." "I knew this nun on the mission Sister Mary Joseph." "I loved her." "She told me that church isn't just a piece of scenery." "It's a place where sacred things happen, where people come together to share the biggest moment in their lives with the people they love." "That's what I want... for us." "What happens if this deal is complete bullshit?" "I don't know." "Joan." "If I run again I'm gonna lose you." "No." "If you want to run, I'll come with you." "I will come with you, I said I'd do that before." " You can't." " I can." "A few weeks ago, I was in Lake Macquarie." "It reminded me of this place" "I used to muck around with my brother as a kid." "Called it 'The Oyster'." "'The Oyster'?" "It's on the rocks." "On the Harbour side of South Head." "It's got a beautiful view of the water." "And you say you're not romantic." "The three of us running around the country is a shit life." "It can't be any worse than lying in bed all night, worrying if you're dead or not." " We can call the police from here." " No, I want to use a phone box." "Actually, let's go out the back." "Okay." "Oh, Jim." "Pattie." "How are ya?" "I'm very well, thank you." "You alright?" "Yeah, yeah." "That's good."

"Ah, yes." "Are you?" "Yes." "He's going to surrender to the police?" "Not yet." "He wants to meet with them and see what sort of deal they're offering." "And you trust those police?" "That's Jim Marsh's car." "Jim doesn't want to meet out in the open." " He wants to talk to you in his car." " That's not what we agreed." " He wants Pete." " No, I don't like it." "Then he'll drive away." "Get out of the car." "Put your hands in the air." "It was a crazy thing to do." " You could have got yourself shot." " I know but it was worth it." "Now you know the truth." "Why didn't you tell me what you and McNaughton were cooking up?" "You would have stopped me." "Let me come with you." "No, there's no time." "Do you want me to take James?" "He'll slow you down." "No." "You sacrifice too much already." "I love you." "Jim, it there something you're not telling me?" "Tell me." "I've been unfaithful to you." "Once." "Pattie?" "I'm sorry." "You know I love you." "You need to go now." " Hey..." " Go!" "I will tell you where I am." "Promise." "Pattie." "There's someone here see you." " Just up there." " Thanks." "Got your money for the taxi." "You're a very irresponsible person." "Come on, Simon's allowed one last little hurrah." "A fine hurrah that leads to the priest refusing to conduct the wedding." "What?" "The Pope says Catholics aren't allowed to marry non-believers." "Yeah, they can if the bishop approves." "Simon didn't have his wits about him and I blame you." "Oh." "Can you please put that out?" "It'll irritate the children." "And if the wedding ever happens, don't make a speech for the bridesmaids." "I'm not interested." "Alright, I'm just gonna leave this here." "Just go, please." "Hey, I might be able to get the bishop to approve the wedding." "Oh, yeah?" "My dad's a theologist." "I'm gonna make a phone call." "Alright?" "Let me fix this." " Paddy?" " What?" " Oh, no." " What?" "No!" "Oh!" "No!" "You idiot!" "This fabric was imported from Italy!" "It's all ruined." "Hey, Vivien." "Have a seat." " Thanks." " I'll, uh, grab some menus." "I can't stay." "Annie told me you were at that street fight where she fell." "Yeah, I arrested the organiser." "Annie was hurt." "She could have lost the baby." "It was chaos." "I tried to help her." "But you didn't." "Viv, she shouldn't have been there." "I tried to make sure she wasn't." "Anyway, let's..." "Where's your ring?" "Pete." "We wouldn't make each other happy." "No, we would." "We really would." "I love you, Viv." "If that was true, you would want me to know my babies." "We have become very different people." "I'm sorry." "Maggie." "Maggie!" "Remember how you wanted to find a job as a nanny and the cleaner?" "I know that didn't work out, but" "I think I've found you a domestic service job." "Matron's asking the welfare department if you can do that instead of going back into a home." "Maggie, please speak to me." "What about my baby?" "When it's born, I'll apply to adopt it and when you turn 18 you can come and live with us." "I promise." "Can you mind Deanna for a bit?" "I've gotta work." "So do I, Chris." "I know." "It's just Pattie's place is full and Annie's been up all night with Billy." "Why is the child upset?" "She's got teeth coming through and she is tired 'cause she won't sleep, will you?" "It's Okay." "It's Okay." "You look weary yourself." "She's quieter if you jiggle her up and down a little bit usually." "Does Annie know you're leaving her here with me?" "No." "Off you go." "Oh, there's a bottle of milk and stuff to change her into it she gets..." "Thanks." "See you." "Fixable?" "Are you really that stupid?" "Pattie!" "Is Pattie in?" " Um, in the office but..." " Great." "Pattie, Martha's coming in." "Yes, thank you." "The priest changed his mind, he's gonna do the wedding." "Oh, Martha, that's wonderful." "Get your cummerbund ready for action, Mikey." "Thunderbirds are go!" "That's your doing then, is it?" "Who's a clever boy, then?" "Alright, clever boy, how I make a new wedding dress in 24 hours?" "Wedding's back on." "Was it ever off?" "Well, the priest thought I was a heathen but he's forgiven me." "Still coming to the wedding?" "Of course." "I wouldn't miss it." "Hey, just in case I don't get a chance to tell you," "I think you're a great person." " Sorry to interrupt." " Yeah, I'm going." "Thanks for what you did." "Oh, least I could do." "I owe you my sanity." "So, I've made a statement to the court, saying that I was responsible for Greg Mathieson's death." "Responsible?" "Jim needed the trial aborted, so I said that I gave Mathieson a shot of adrenaline by mistake." "You could lose your job." "Why would you risk that?" "Your blood tests." "Obviously, one of your eggs was able to... navigate the obstacle course." "I'm pregnant?" "Congratulations." " Have you got the $200?" " Yep." " In cash?" " That's right." "No-one's here." "It's closed." "There's gotta be someone else in the city that sells it." "I had it imported especially." "You can't just get Italian silk at the supermarket." "You're going back and telling Martha exactly what happened because it's not my fault and I refuse to take responsibility for you ruining a beautiful, beautiful dress that I spent hours and hours of love and blood and sweat..." "Oh..." "What are you doing?" "You can't do that." "Michael!" "Michael!" "It's alright."

"One... two... three... and four." " Is this it?" " Oh, yes!" "No, no, no, you can't do that." "No, this is stealing." "Michael." "Oh, no." "I left the money and a note on the table." "Whatever you don't use, we'll bring back tomorrow." "Just here for Deanna." "Yes." "She's here." " How long's she been down?" " A few hours." "She hasn't slept that long in days." "What did you do?" "An old witch's spell." "She can stay there if you'd rather not wake her, I don't mind." "May I?" "Yeah." "She's exquisite." "Yeah." "Chris said he's asked you to marry him." "Yeah." "A few times actually." "I hope you're not saying no because..." "It's not because of you." "The world's changing." "People don't need to be married to be happy." "And I'm not sure I'd want all the hullabaloo." "Weddings make people crazy." "Yes." "Curious how it's considered a license to abandon commonsense." "You're very good for Chris." "You give him purpose and stability." "He's never had those things." "Thank you." "So, what's this called again?" "A 'toile'." "It's a template for the dress." "I made it before I made the real thing." "Why do I have to wear it?" " Ah... you can take it off now." " But I just put it on." "I just wanted to see you in it." "Oh, you've gotta be joking." "If your time at Stanton House is good for anything, it should teach you responsibility and self-discipline." "If you find yourself with an infectious illness, it is your responsibility to inform me so that you don't infect everyone else." "Is that clear?" "Yes, Matron." "Is that clear?" "Have you had any contractions?" "A tightening of muscles in your abdomen?" "I'll have a nurse check on you periodically." "Tell her when the contractions begin." "Alright?" "You can't be in here." "So, why did you call me, then?" "I thought you would want to know." "Contractions haven't begun." "There's still a while to go." " Can I sit with her for a minute?" " No, it's not allowed." "Two minutes." "Please." "Two minutes." "Maggie." "Don't be afraid." "Your contractions have started?" "How many have you had?" "Two." " I have to tell the doctor." " No!" "I don't want anyone to steal my baby." "You need to cut exactly along those lines." "Exactly." " You like Latin music?" " It's for the wedding reception."

"Alright, that's it, Maggie, you're doing really well." "Push again." "Deep breaths." "Okay, Maggie, deep breaths." "Breath in." "Push down." "One more push for me." "One more push." "I know you're tired." "That's it, good girl." "Push down." "It's a girl." "Joan." "Jim, how much corruption is there" " in the development business?" " It's everywhere." "Developers consider pay-offs to politicians" " as a cost of doing business." " You have evidence of this?" "Yeah, I have seen it." "Blokes with boots full of cash giving it to politicians for land being rezoned." "Why you doing this now?" "Because honesty and transparency is important." "Someone has to say it." "Some people would say it's foolish to be so public with this information, especially now that the manslaughter case against you has been dropped." " The case has been dropped?" " Yeah, I figure I'm safer." "But you're still planning to lie low?" "Of course." "And tomorrow I'm going to The Oyster." "Did you really kill that man?" "One way or another." "Why did you do it?" "Doctor Miller will get to be with her husband now." " That's good, isn't it?" " Yes." "She deserves to be happy." "You wish she was happy with you." "No." "Martha!" "I've got it!" "Don't panic!" "You are supposed to be here an hour ago!" "Oh, no point crying over spilt milk." " God, I hope it fits." " Why wouldn't it fit?" "She's usually very punctual." "She said the same thing about you." "Should be perfect for each other." "I can't believe this is happening." "You have to believe this only." "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us on this day." "This beautiful day in the holy matrimony of Simon and Martha." "Martha, please take this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity." "Simon and Martha, I now pronounce you man and wife." "Is there a luckier man in the world than me right now?" "Apollo 13 astronauts." " They've got nothing on me." " Let's talk honeymoon." "We're a bit short of money, don't think we'll get very far." "Suits me." "I was thinking three weeks in bed." "Your mother thinks I'm good for you." "She's a wise woman." " Chris?" " Yes, pretty lady?" "I'll marry you on one condition." "Name it." "We elope." " What do you think?" " Yes." " You dance very well for an idiot." " Thanks." "You're looking happier." "How could I not be?" "Martha looks so beautiful." "You should give me a shot at making you happy." "Oh, yeah?" "And how do you plan to do that?" "I'm doing you some favour with this wedding reception." "What is this shit music?" "It's Latin." "Go with it." "3PM, everybody leaves and takes the music with them." "I need a couple of days off." " What for?" " I've got... grandmother issues." "Leon?" "Martha." " Nice to meet you." " We've met." "Anyway, I want to ask if Annie can sing a song." "She doesn't sing here anymore, love." "It's my wedding." "Consider it a present."

"You Okay?" "Looks like you've made a very good choice." "Joan." "Joan." "Please listen." "Listen, please." "What happened yesterday..." "You and Jim should never have been put through that." "I just want to let you know that I would never betray you like that." "Okay." "Thanks." "Are you gonna meet with Jim?" "I know you know where he is, Joan." "He's in a lot of danger after what he did last night." " No more than he was before." " No, he is very wrong about that." "We're talking about people with plenty of money and plenty of patience." "If he runs, he will be found." "She's so hungry." "That's good." "You're lucky she's feeding so well." "You should eat too." "What's going to happen to us?" "Did you find her?" "I've brought you some paperwork." "An application to adopt." "What did Maggie have?" "A little girl." "Frances, she can't go back to a home." "The welfare department has approved her working in domestic service." "But she and the baby will need to return to the hospital to finalise the arrangements." "Thank you." "Oh." "Don't cry." "It's 1970." "Laughing is the new crying." "Tomorrow morning, no later." "Annie and Chris have eloped." "Not in the mood for the reception?" " No." " Me neither." "They make a radiant couple, don't they?" "Mmm." "Do you think it will last?" "Hope so." "I've heard some marriages do." "You going somewhere?" "That's the plan." "Have you told Jim about... the pregnancy?" "No, not yet." "Have you heard anything about your witness statement?" "Yes, the board has asked for a 'please explain'." "See how that goes." "What will you say?" "I'll think of something." "You always said I was a good liar." "Thanks." "I didn't think you'd come." "I nearly didn't." "I've got some money and some mates in Brisbane who'll help us." "Hey!" "I've come to say goodbye." " Joan." " No, you have to go without me." "It's better this way." "It is." "I've done this." "No, we did it together." "We did everything the wrong way round." "I wish I'd gotten to know you better before I'd married you." "If you had have known me you might not have married me at all." "Then you wouldn't have him." " People are still after you." " Are you sure?" "I'm sure." "I can't leave him." "I know." "You have to keep him safe." " Promise me." " Yeah, I will." "You have to promise me you will." "I promise." "I'm sorry." "I'm not judging you." "God knows I've made enough mistakes to last a lifetime." " You have to go." " I got you." "You're a great dad."
