00:00This is a white country now run, I don't want you raising up.
00:24This is our land.
00:25I say we stand on the streets and fight for justice.
00:29That's right.
00:30I had an affair.
00:31I'm so sorry.
00:32I didn't need to know, honey.
00:33I know.
00:34When I tell you to get out, you get out of your truck.
00:40It's not at all hard and acceptable.
00:43Kate Thorne, will you do me the honor of being my wife?
00:46I'm a child.
00:48Oh.
00:49No, Terry, stop.
00:50Stop it.
00:51Terry, stop it.
00:52Bad decision, Terry.
00:53Very bad decision.
01:25I haven't come for trouble, I'm just resenting your car.
01:40I don't appreciate being punched in the face, Terry.
01:43Yeah.
01:44And I'm not proud of myself.
01:47He did leave me in the middle of nowhere, I was bitten by a snake, thought I was going
01:49to die, so I deserved a slap for that.
01:55When I took you on, I thought you were made of sterner stuff.
01:59If you want to survive in this country, you've got to be ruthless.
02:03You look after your own interests.
02:04Okay, well, you live your way and I'll live mine.
02:08I like to be able to sleep at night.
02:12No hard feelings, yeah?
02:16No hard feelings.
02:20You look after that family of yours.
02:23I will.
02:28There's blood on your shirt.
02:30Sarah, get me the phone book.
02:32There's a number I need to find.
02:42Australia, a great place for families.
02:45Australia is an exciting new land, a country in the modern world.
02:50Create a real home for your family.
02:52A good place to grow up.
02:54There's a bright future.
02:56Come over to the sunny side.
02:59The cost of the journey halfway around the world is £10.
03:03Look for a new start on your way to Australia.
03:23She said she was protected.
03:25I was.
03:27The sponge mustn't have worked.
03:30The only true form of protection is abstinence.
03:34And, um, are you sure it's mine?
03:38Robbie Carter, how dare you?
03:40Sorry.
03:42I mean, why didn't you tell me?
03:44You wait all this time and then you tell a woman that you barely know.
03:47She was ashamed.
03:48But none of that matters now.
03:50Because there is only one course of action.
03:52Acknowledge your responsibility.
03:55Very soon she won't be able to hide her bump from prying eyes.
03:59And that baby needs two loving parents.
04:02Hillary, I can't. I'm not...
04:04Don't you dare start trying to wheedle out of this.
04:07She will not be seen as a woman of low morals.
04:09She will not suffer the indignity of people's judgement.
04:13You have enjoyed your pleasure.
04:15And now you must deal with the consequences.
04:18I do love you, Robbie.
04:22I think if you give it time, you could love me.
04:26Since your useless father isn't here,
04:28you can't ask him for her hand in marriage.
04:31But you can ask me.
04:34Terry.
04:35I don't want to talk about it.
04:37I know you don't, but I have things that I'd like to say.
04:40And every time I try to say...
04:41I said I don't want to talk about it.
04:43Hi.
04:50Hi.
04:57Don't go.
04:58Don't go.
04:59Don't go.
05:00Don't go.
05:02Hiya, love.
05:16We're having a party for Kate's engagement and I thought it'd be really nice if you and
05:19Kylie came.
05:20I'd really like you to come, love.
05:23A party?
05:24We should.
05:25We will.
05:26Won't we?
05:27Maybe.
05:28If I can get this one done.
05:35But they'll say no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
05:52no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
06:07Kate, I shouldn't be able to live without you, you know.
06:11Katy, Katy, give me your answer, do.
06:12I'm half crazy all for the love of you.
06:15It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage.
06:18Bicycle built for two!
06:20Woo!
06:22Go on, Kate!
06:24No, no, no, no, no, no.
06:26Come on, Kate!
06:30Right, I'm not gonna say much,
06:32except thank you for coming and making me feel so special.
06:36I haven't felt anything
06:38resembling happiness for a very long time.
06:40But I do today.
06:44Cheers. Thank you.
06:46Hip hip... Hooray!
06:48Hip hip... Hooray!
06:50Hip hip... Hooray!
06:52Thank you. Cheers.
06:54Congratulations.
07:00Kate, we need to...
07:06Kate, I have a problem.
07:08No.
07:16Shh.
07:46Afternoon.
07:48Can I help you?
07:50We're from the Child Welfare Department.
07:52We've had word
07:54of a very, uh...
07:56distressing situation that requires
07:58our intervention.
08:00Now, in matters such as these,
08:02for your benefit, as much as, uh...
08:04it's important that these
08:06cases are dealt with
08:08swiftly.
08:10Do you know if this lady is currently
08:12on the premises?
08:14Hmm.
08:16No, I'm afraid not.
08:18Well, let's see if we can find her together, then.
08:20Shall we?
08:44MUSIC
09:00KNOCK AT DOOR
09:10Terry, these gentlemen
09:12would like to talk with you.
09:14May we come in?
09:18Yeah, come on.
09:30I'd like her to come up
09:32just to hang out with you.
09:34Annie, can I talk to you, please?
09:36Yes.
09:38Um, Jojo just gave me this.
09:42MUSIC
09:44OK, come on.
09:46Patty, we need
09:48to get you out of here. What?
09:50They've come for Mary.
09:52Who has? Some men.
09:54JJ said we have to get you out of here.
09:56Oh, my God. Mum, they can't.
09:58Just go and grab Mary. Just grab her.
10:00Where are we going to go?
10:02Sweetheart.
10:04Wait!
10:06I have an idea.
10:08MUSIC
10:10It's come to our
10:12attention that your daughter has an illegitimate
10:14child.
10:16Uh...
10:18No, no, that's... And the father is
10:20coward and has remained in England?
10:22Who's told you this?
10:24That kind of sexual immorality would deem her
10:26an unfit mother.
10:28Someone's lied to you. It's our duty to intervene
10:30for the protection of the child.
10:32Someone's told you a load of rubbish.
10:34Who's telling them this?
10:36We're to see Patricia and her baby. Where are they?
10:38They're not here. I don't know where they are.
10:40Is this really necessary?
10:44Bottles, blankets,
10:46all kinds of infant gear.
10:48Where are they?
10:50I don't know. Don't lie to me!

11:08No, no, no. Come on. Come on. I can't just leave her.
11:10What if they find her? I'm never going to see her again.
11:12Listen to me.
11:14I need you to go to the beach hut.
11:16I need you to stay there and stay safe until I get there, OK?
11:18Why are they doing this? I don't know, sweetheart.
11:20I'm going to sort it, OK?
11:22SHE SOBS
11:24Mum...
11:26I'm sorry.
11:30I've gone such a mess.
11:32Listen, you were my little girl and I would die for you.
11:39You know that, don't you?
11:41And you understand that now.
11:43You understand cos you'd die for Mary.
11:46So go and I'll be there.
11:49Please, sweetheart.
11:52OK, come on.
11:54Come on.
11:56Come on.
12:02Come on.
12:32Come on.
12:39You're OK.
12:41You're OK. You're OK.
13:02Dad?
13:04Peter, tell these people your sister is engaged to be married.
13:09Tell them that Mary's dad is away working.
13:13But...
13:18Yeah, why?
13:20Where's your sister?
13:22Who are you?
13:24Don't abstract...
13:26Ace!
13:27Search the hostel.
13:29The child's loved.
13:31What you're doing's ridiculous.
13:33She has a good mother.
13:38CHANTING
14:00Oh, it's OK.
14:02CHANTING
14:05CHANTING
14:29We're from the Child Welfare Union.
14:33Shh, shh, shh.
14:48Open the door.
14:55Shh.
15:02Shh.
15:16Oh!
15:32Oh!
15:48Oh!
15:57Make sure she's OK.
15:59Let's go.
16:02I know she's here.
16:07What's the problem?
16:09We're looking for Patricia Roberts.
16:11Yeah, her baby's in the car, there.
16:13He has her in the box.
16:14Hey, you! Stop! Stop! Stop!
16:17Dad!
16:32Dad!
17:02Dad!
17:22It's all right.
17:33I hope Annie and Patsy are OK.
17:36It's really scary what happened.
17:40Don't know what they're going to do now.
17:42What if they have to leave Australia?
17:47You OK?
17:52Kate, I have a problem.
17:55What is it?
17:57I've made a mistake.
17:59I've made a mistake.
18:02And now, because of that mistake, I can't marry you.
18:06What mistake?
18:09Mandy's baby.
18:13It's mine.
18:16It's yours.
18:18I went back when you disappeared with Michael.
18:23So this is my fault.
18:25No, no, no. No!
18:27I went back, and Mandy was there, and she was kind.
18:32She comforted me.
18:34And it went a bit further.
18:40She said she was protected.
18:45Kate, I love you.
18:47I want to be with you.
18:49But I've got her with child.
18:51And now her mum's arranging a shotgun wedding.
18:55I've made a mess of the best thing that's ever happened to me,
18:58because all I want is you.
19:01All I want is you.
19:04But how can I?
19:08How can I not?
19:09You're asking me.
19:12No day.
19:14You were all I had left.
19:16I'm so sorry.
19:17You were my reason to stay.
19:19Me, you, this new life.
19:21I convinced myself that I could start again,
19:24that I could be a mother again,
19:26and this time it would work.
19:31Kate, I'm so sorry.
19:33Just get out.
19:35Kate.
19:36Just get out!
19:38Kate, I'm sorry.
19:39Go!
19:52You're safe.
19:56Who do you think told on me?
19:58Could be anyone on that hostel.
20:01And those buggers aren't going to give up,
20:03especially if they think they've been tricked.
20:08Hey, listen, um...
20:11I know it's Alyssa.
20:13There's...
20:14There's something I need to talk to you about.
20:16What is it?
20:18I know Alyssa.
20:20She's defending some other residents.
20:23I'll call her tomorrow and make sure she sees you quickly.
20:26Thank you, Zeta.
20:28Thank you, love.
20:33All right, we can't stay here.
20:35There's nowhere to sleep.
20:38I've got a suggestion, but you're not going to like it.
20:41I think it's our only option.
20:49It's just short-term, right?
20:52Dad.
20:54Those people nearly died in here.
20:57Don't need to worry about that.
20:59It was a monoxide leak and that's all been shut off.
21:03I thought Al Gowney was bad.
21:07We'll figure something out.
21:09I don't know what, but we'll find a way.
21:15I'll go home.
21:17I'll go home.
21:19I'll go home.
21:21I'll go home.
21:23I'll go home.
21:25I'll go home.
21:27I'll go home.
21:29I'll go home.
21:31I'll go home.
21:33To England, with Mary.
21:35I can live with Grandma and you three can stay out here.
21:37No, you won't, love.
21:39We'll stick together.
21:40This is my problem. You shouldn't suffer.
21:43No, love, we stick together.
21:45Your mum's right.
21:47We're a family.
21:48When mistakes get made, we sort them together.
22:02SHE SIGHS
22:24I do want to talk.
22:32SHE FOOTSTEPS
22:43I've always thought about the war as my hardship.
22:49My sacrifice.
22:52Away fighting.
22:54Not seeing Patty.
22:57The selfish bugger that I am,
22:59I've never given much thought to your war.
23:02All those years alone.
23:05Tell me about it.
23:11Well, erm...
23:16..us wives were just left
23:18and there were decisions that you just never thought you'd have to make.
23:23Like, erm, should I send Patty to the countryside?
23:29And what would happen to our little girl if she lost both of us?
23:36And I was so tired.
23:39And my bones ached from it.
23:41This endless worry.
23:45And every day you'd hear that somebody else had died.
23:48Someone's son or someone's husband.
23:50And I just kept thinking to myself,
23:53how long until that someone is you?
23:59And it changed me.
24:04I needed to find strength.
24:07I needed, erm, an independence, Terry.
24:12And working for Harry did that.
24:15Tell me how it happened with Harry.
24:19I can't do that.
24:20Please, I need to know.
24:23Did you go to him or...?
24:27Him to me.
24:31Not with much expectation.
24:34He liked you, Terry.
24:36The times he met you.
24:38I really liked you.
24:40He liked you, Terry.
24:42The times he met you.
24:44I really don't think he felt like he was stealing something.
24:50He was good to you?
24:52Yeah, he was, love.
24:54Did he love you?
24:57I think he started to.
25:02But love is something you build, isn't it?
25:06Proper love takes time.
25:11I was a bad husband when I got back, Annie.
25:16I relived it all over and over.
25:19Tried to drink it away.
25:22I was angry.
25:25And I know at times I wasn't a nice man to live with.
25:30Neither been well within your rights to find someone nicer, kinder.
25:35You didn't.
25:37Who?
25:38Who?
25:39You stood by me.
25:41Helped me.
25:43Even brought us to the other side of the world to try and pull me out of it.
25:48Yeah.
25:51I hate the thought of another man's hands on you.
25:57But it's not enough.
25:59It's not enough to...
26:04You're my girl, Annie Roberts.
26:07The same girl I kissed outside the plaza on that rainy September night.
26:15The past is the past.
26:18That's where it can stay.
26:24Come here.
26:29Thank you and I'm so sorry.
26:37Love you.
26:56Bill?
26:58Bill?
27:02So, was our entire marriage a sham?
27:06Oh, stop this. For heaven's sake.
27:09That man, Ray Skinner, is a homosexual.
27:13A predatory homosexual who befriended me and in an unexpected moment he used his strength to force himself on me.
27:23I am not, nor have I ever been...
27:28We came here for a better life, Sheila, which, despite your efforts, I provided.
27:40A set of house keys.
27:42I've made alternative plans, so it's yours to share with the children.
27:58I want something else.
28:01I want you to sign the forms that you've always refused to sign, allowing me, should I wish, to return home with the girls.
28:08That's not possible.
28:09You committed theft and there's a poor boy locked up for it.
28:14Not to mention, I assume, other crimes.
28:23You will give me what I ask.
28:26You will give me what I ask.
28:36Come to the house Saturday and have your signed papers.

29:31Go!
29:32This is a peaceful protest.
29:33Not anymore.
29:34It's over.
29:47Are you the leader?
29:54Hey.
29:55Hey, you're hurting her.
29:56Let go of me.
29:57You're hurting her.
29:58Set her free.
29:59Stop resisting.
30:02Come any closer and you'll get the same.
30:07You take our children.
30:09You take our land.
30:11You put us on missions.
30:12Deny us liberty and freedom.
30:15What do we want?
30:16Claim back!
30:17When do we want it?
30:18Now!
30:19Stand down!
30:20Stand down!
30:21Stand down!
30:27Someone do something!
30:29What's he ever done wrong, huh?
30:31What's he done?
30:33Run!
30:41Listen, Patty isn't a really good mother.
30:43She is.
30:44And Mary has a whole family that loves her.
30:47I understand and you can say all of that to the court.
30:50But I have to advise you that...
30:53the colour of Mary's skin and your daughter's age...
30:56make it appeal a very high-risk choice.
30:59I'll get her seen as quickly as we can...
31:01so your lives won't be disrupted for too much longer.
31:04In the meantime...
31:06look after your family.
31:12You look after that family of yours.
31:23I'm taking Mary back before anyone sees us out.
31:25Sweetheart.
31:27Let her go.
31:33I think it were Benny...
31:35who called the authorities.
31:37Benny?
31:38Why Benny? I thought you left it good with him.
31:40No hard feelings.
31:41Why Benny? I thought you left it good with him.
31:43No hard feelings.
31:44I guess he lied.
31:46Believe me, there's no law he wouldn't stoop to.
31:50I did some things for him, Annie.
31:52Things I'm not proud of.
32:09Not to notice you.
32:10Why don't we make ourselves more comfortable?
32:18What the hell were you thinking?
32:19What were you thinking?
32:21I was trying to stay loyal.
32:23Keep the money coming in.
32:24Get us the house we promised.
32:27Well, he can't get away with this, can he?
32:30He won't.
32:33I've got an idea.
32:40Come on.
33:06Careful.
33:10Come on.
33:35I got you.
33:40Come on.
34:10Come on.
34:40Come on.
35:11Come on.

35:56Why are you holding them so long without any charge?
36:00Why aren't you locking me up?
36:02If you're locking them up, why aren't you locking me up?
36:06Which of the wise, lady,
36:07Turn your back on an abbo and they'll rob your trousers.
36:10Go home.
36:24Kate.
36:26I'm David Robinson.
36:30Is Michael okay?
36:31Yes, he's fine.
36:33Then why are you here?
36:34I need five minutes of your time.
36:38Dear.
36:51I've reflected on how you must have felt when Fran made her offer and then reneged on it.
36:57But I feel all this clinging on to the past, speaking with journalists, is only going to cause you more pain and more misery.
37:06Dear.
37:10So?
37:11I want you to leave Sydney.
37:18Name your price.
37:21I'll pay travel, a year's rent, whatever you need.
37:24Perth, Adelaide, or even back to England if you prefer.
37:30You want to pay me off?
37:35Buy your way out?
37:38Like you bought my child?
37:40I'm offering you an escape route.
37:42Escape?
37:45If you want to set me free, give me him back and I'll take him home.
37:50Your obsession with Michael has to stop.
37:52Obsession?
37:54He's my son and I love him, so yes, I'm obsessed.
38:01He deserves nothing less.
38:05And I hope you and your wife will be obsessed with him too.
38:11But I won't be bought.
38:16Like the people who took him, stole him from me.
38:21Who continue to steal children from scared mothers and then call them obsessed.
38:31I'll leave Sydney.
38:37I don't think you'd ever get the satisfaction of telling him that his mother didn't want to know him.
38:47One day, he'll ask about me.
38:52And I won't be hard to find.
38:57And I can't wait.
39:02Get the hell out of my life.
39:16Get the hell out of my life.
39:17Get the hell out of my life.
39:45You finally have my money?
39:46Come in.
39:50So what's the story, Chrissie? You moving out for good?
39:53Well, I'm hardly going to stay here in the flat I almost died in.
39:56If it hadn't been for Terry Roberts, me and my children would now be six feet under.
40:00Yes, it was an unfortunate incident.
40:02Unfortunate?
40:06You should have given that man a promotion, but instead you fire him.
40:11May I?
40:12Sure.
40:16Aren't you going to check it?
40:17You know better than to try and screw me, Chrissie.
40:19Why? What are you going to do? Hurt me? That's your style, isn't it?
40:24Open it.
40:26She said open it.
40:29What's she doing here?
40:31She's my friend.
40:33Hello again.
40:35How's the bikini business? You been showing your breasts off anywhere lately?
40:40Open it.
40:47What is this?
40:49This is private correspondence.
40:52Yes, it is. Between you and your solicitor in the days after the death of Mrs Yargley's.
40:57You found her body and you reported her as a natural death.
41:00But you know she died of monoxide poisoning and you did nothing.
41:04Not true.
41:05Well, your solicitor tells you to get rid of all of the appliances that could be responsible.
41:10Cover your tracks, you know. But even then you didn't do that, did you?
41:13Hmm. Too worried about the cost.
41:16But what about the cost to me and my children?
41:20The fact that you have this indicates a criminal offence.
41:23You could only have this document if you broke into my office.
41:26So I can assure you, I'm going to go and talk to the police.
41:29And when I talk to the police...
41:30Oi, why don't you do that, Benny?
41:33Why don't you talk to the police?
41:35And we'll show them those letters.
41:37Don't worry, we have photostats.
41:39Let's see what the police say, shall we?
41:44You came after my family.
41:46Now we're coming after you.
41:54You won't be able to make any of this stick.
41:56You're the little people.
41:58And you know as well as I do, Terry.
42:00I make things disappear.
42:04I still want that rent.
42:14Did we get all that?
42:16Yes, we did.
42:19And we can use it against him?
42:21In the right hands, yeah.
42:28Come in.
42:34Thank you for seeing me.
42:35I didn't really want to.
42:37Robbie's father said you wanted to speak.
42:40Oh.
42:41This is Wilfred.
42:42I tutor him twice a week.
42:44Hello.
42:46Wilfred, why don't you go play on your bicycle?
42:48We can finish your session later.
42:53Sit down.
43:08I know this can't be easy for you.
43:13Mandy.
43:15Robbie doesn't know that I'm here.
43:18I wanted to talk to you.
43:20Woman to woman.
43:22Right.
43:25Because I've been in your position.
43:29I've been in your position.
43:31In England, I got pregnant.
43:34And the father of the child was committed to someone else.
43:39And it wasn't easy.
43:43It caused a little bit of a scandal, to be truthful.
43:48I thought you said you didn't have...
43:49Yeah, I lied.
43:51I have a child.
43:52Well, no.
43:54I had a child.
43:58He's been adopted.
44:01I see.
44:03So this is my promise to you.
44:06That I won't get in the way.
44:09I'm going to move away.
44:10Out of Sydney.
44:12And you and Robbie will never see me again.
44:15I appreciate that.
44:18Robbie's a good man.
44:20And he's doing the right thing.
44:22Yeah.
44:24But you're a beautiful woman, Kate.
44:26Kate.
44:28I know that he's upset to let you go.
44:32I wish you all the best.
44:35With marriage.
44:38And motherhood.
44:42Be good to him.
44:45He's a really lovely man.
44:49Yeah, yeah.
44:54Oh my God!
44:55It's OK.
44:56OK, have you got a towel?
44:57I need a towel.
44:59Oh wait, I've got this.
45:00It's all right, darling.
45:01He's OK.
45:02He's OK.
45:03There you go.
45:05Mandy.
45:06Sit.
45:08Sit down, darling.
45:09Sit down.
45:10Good boy.
45:11There you go.
45:12You OK?
45:13Put your head back a little bit more.
45:15You're all right.
45:21Mandy?
45:22Are you all right?
45:23Is there anything I can do?
45:24No, I'm fine.
45:25Just a tired of blood.
45:28How's Wilfred?
45:29He's fine.
45:30Shall I get you some water?
45:47Mr. Mill?
45:51Sorry to turn up unannounced.
45:53You were right.
45:54Benny Bates has got blood on his hands.
45:57And that's the proof.
46:01And that's the original recording of you and your friend.
46:06Why would you do this?
46:10Because I'm not that man.
46:22I'm sorry.
46:38I can't stay long.
46:41I'm taking a risk here in Cummings.
46:43What's happened?
46:44They wouldn't tell me anything.
46:46The arrest means...
46:50I've lost my privileges.
46:52I can only do official work and...
46:56have to account for my movements, so...
46:59I can't come here anymore.
47:01But this is ours.
47:05This is no ours, Maggie.
47:08Ron.
47:11I just wanted to say that I...
47:14I've really enjoyed my time with you.
47:18You're a good woman.
47:20And I wish you a great life over here.
47:22Yeah.
47:31It's impossible.
47:35If I'm staying here with you,
47:37especially now,
47:38it'll be really bad for both of us.
47:52Please.
48:14Please.
48:17Don't make this harder than it has to be.
48:22Please.
48:48Hearing to appeal the adoption
48:50Robert.
48:52Mr. Rowlands,
48:54I've read the Child Welfare Department's
48:57concerns for the baby.
48:58What is your response?
49:00Thank you, Your Honour.
49:01We appreciate your consideration in this matter.
49:05Paddy, Mary's mother,
49:06is contesting the adoption
49:09on the basis that Mary's needs
49:11would be best served by staying in the environment
49:14where she currently resides.
49:16The child has food,
49:17shelter,
49:18a loving home
49:19and little prospect of neglect or harm.
49:23If Your Honour would allow,
49:24I would like to ask Paddy to speak for herself.
49:34Hello.
49:36I realise that my situation isn't ideal.
49:40I came to Australia
49:43pregnant
49:45and the father of my child
49:47stayed in England.
49:50I am young
49:52and I
49:54don't have a breadwinner
49:55to support me.
49:57However,
49:58my parents,
50:00Mary's grandparents,
50:02have a long and
50:03faithful marriage
50:05and they're great role models for me
50:07and for Mary
50:09and they provide a safe
50:11and
50:12stable home for her
50:13to grow up in
50:14with
50:16warmth and
50:17love
50:20and
50:22the hostel
50:23where we live,
50:24whilst not
50:25perfect,
50:27provides a wonderful
50:28community where
50:31where everyone looks out for one another.
50:41Being a mother
50:43requires sacrifices
50:45but that's what I'm happy to do.
50:48To bring up my daughter
50:49as an Australian
50:51and
50:52teach her that she can thrive here
50:56in this fair and
50:58decent country.
51:08Paul,
51:09you dropped me in.
51:10Oh, sorry Kate.
51:11The wedding's today.
51:12I thought you'd be here.
51:13Sorry Kate,
51:14the wedding's today.
51:16Today?
51:18Do you know where?
51:19I think it's the church up at Mackay Falls.
51:21Okay, thank you.
51:43I love you.
51:44I love you too.
52:13Hello?
52:38Bill?
52:43Bill?
52:52What is this?
52:53Sheila, you need to remain calm.
52:55These officers have come to help you.
52:57What?
52:58You've escaped a psychiatric institution,
53:00you've committed adultery,
53:01your mind is not sound.
53:02Sheila!
53:03No, no.
53:04He stole money
53:06from his employer
53:07and
53:08I caught him with another man.
53:10I have two children.
53:12A mind goes to dangerous places.
53:14He bought this house with stolen money
53:15and I can prove it.
53:16He
53:17worked with a known criminal?
53:18I'm a respectable businessman.
53:20Okay.
53:21Miss, you need to come with us.
53:22No, no, no, no.
53:24You're not well, Sheila.
53:25No, no.
53:26No untrusting word you say.
53:27No!
53:28No!
53:29No, you bastard!
53:33No!
53:42No!
54:03Marriage is an invitation to share life together
54:06in the spirit of Jesus Christ.
54:09It's based on a solemn, public,
54:12lifelong covenant between a man and a woman
54:15declared and celebrated in the presence of God
54:18and before witnesses.
54:40Do you, Robert Ian Carter,
54:43take this woman, Amanda Jane Moreland,
54:46to be your lawful wedded wife
54:49to have and to hold
54:51for richer, for poorer,
54:53in sickness and in health
54:55for as long as you both shall live?
54:58I do.
55:04Lawful wedded husband
55:06to have and to hold
55:08for richer, for poorer,
55:10in sickness and in health
55:12for as long as you both shall live?
55:15I...
55:16Kate.
55:18She's lying.
55:19Get her out of here.
55:20Robby, she's lying.
55:21Have some dignity, woman.
55:22Wait.
55:24Let her speak.
55:25What do you mean, lying?
55:26Robby.
55:27No, she's just jealous.
55:29She's not pregnant.
55:32She's lied to you.
55:34That's not true.
55:36You were wearing a menstrual belt.
55:38I saw it when we met.
55:42Now, I want you to tell the truth.
55:44In God's house,
55:46are you carrying Robby Carter's baby?
55:51Mandy.
55:53She's pregnant.
55:55And it's Robby's baby.
55:56Tell them.
55:57I can't.
56:04You lied.
56:06I love you, Robby.
56:09And I'll make a good wife, I swear.
56:12I'll make you happier than she ever could.
56:15Please.
56:18Please, please.
56:20I will give you a baby.
56:22Yeah, I'll give you one straight away.
56:25I don't love you.
56:28I'm sorry.
56:32I'm sorry.
56:36I'm sorry.
57:01Could you please rise?
57:04The court has considered Miss Roberts' statement
57:07and can see that Mary is loved and cared for.
57:10However, here in Australia,
57:12we live by certain standards,
57:14and with that in mind,
57:16the decision of this court
57:18is that Producer Roberts' appeal
57:20against Mary's adoption
57:24is denied.
57:31However,
57:33if Patricia consents
57:35for Mr. and Mrs. Roberts
57:37to adopt Mary
57:39and bring her up
57:41as their own,
57:42then the court will grant them
57:44an adoption order
57:46and permit Mary
57:48to stay at Galgal.
57:53Is that a consent you can grant, Miss Roberts?
58:03Yes.
