This is Stephanie Harper and this is Eden

Here my father was king

On the day he died, 17 years ago

I was 23, lonely and afraid

If I had known then, of the nightmare that laid ahead

I think I would have chosen to die with him

Here he comes

Greg, how does it feel to be marrying Australia's wealthiest woman?

Fantastic

Thought you were never gonna make it Greg

Blame the traffic I'm a biss man here

Nice car. A wedding present?

Yeah, that's right

What's your response to critics that say that you're marrying Stephanie for her money?

They can say what they like, this is what I ask

-Greg what about... -So it's really a love match then?

Absolutely

Does this mean the end of your tennis career Greg?

No way man, no way

How about your form Greg, gotta admit it hasn't been up to scratch lately?

Too much of the good life maybe, hey?

You don't believe everything you read in the papers? You should know that Robert

Hah, hah

Is this... your first marriage Greg?

Yeap... and I'll miss it if I hang out here too much longer

-See you later guys -See you

Good luck

Do you remember when we were little girls how we used to dream

of marrying a handsome prince when we grew up?

Yeah

Well mine finally turned up

Oh Jilly, I want him more than I wanted anything in my life.

You look very nice

-Honestly? -Honestly

Here I am, about to follow you down the aisle for the third time, Stephanie Harper

and I haven't even met the groom, now where is he?

You'll like him, I know you will

Jilly, what do you think of this?

Ou la la!

Here you go, do that

I've never worn anything like this before

I'd watch out if I were you, Stephanie is trying to tell you something

Talk of the devil, it looks like the groom has finally arrived

That's him?

-How are you Matey * -Oh, Mr. McMaster!

-Big Day -Oh, yes

Well we followed all your instructions sir

I think you'll find everything is under control

Ah, as always with you Matey

-Stephanie, you do look lovely -Thank you

-Welcome home Jilly, how was the trip? -Oh, fine thanks

Bill did you bring the papers for me to sign?

Yes I did, but I have to tell you the board weren't happy about it

I didn't expect them to be

You can run half the money in the other companies single-handed if you wanted to

You don't need my help

Bill, you know I couldn't have managed all these years without you

But, I do think it would have been wiser though if you'd provided for your husband

from your personal funds rather than through the company

I don't intend to make the same mistakes again, Bill

I want my husband to be financially independent from the outside

and I don't want it to look like a hand-out

No, there's no problem. From this moment Greg is on the payroll

Thank you

You happiness is my only concern Steph. Any help you may need, you're only to ask

I know

Well... good luck

Dearly beloved, we are gathered together in the presence of God

and before this gathering,

to join Greg and Stephanie, together in matrimony

and to seek on their behalf, God's blessing and His grace

What do you think of your mother's new husband?

I hardly know him. I've only met him twice before

I think that goes for everyone

Hey, did you and Sassy have any trouble getting the day off from boarding school?*

It really wasn't a problem auntie Jilly,

mother has always send Sas for her weddings*

We get time off for good behaviour

That's just the sort of thing your grandfather would have said

Excuse me

Sas!

Poor kids

Hey... cheer up Sas It's not the end of the world*

The main thing is, mom is happy

Yeah

But why does it have to be him?

Bill!

You well?

Very well. Stephanie tells me you've decided against honeymooning in Europe

You're gonna fly out to Eden instead

Yes... but not for a month or so

Yes, good. In that case maybe you can drop by the office sometime before you leave

I can come in on Monday

Alright. Say 11:30 after we can have some lunch

I'll look forward to that, Bill gives us a chance to get better acquainted

I'll see you on Monday

You're very quiet

It's jetlag

Yeah, it all seem to go off quite well

Let's face it. Stephanie has had plenty of practice.

Oh! Do I detect a bitchy note?

Oh, I'm sorry... I'm just tired

We won't stay long

What do you make of Marsden?

I wouldn't trust him with my loose change

Sas, Champagne?

You're so childish I'll have punch, thank you

Hello!

It's alright, forget it

Seems I'm not very popular with my daughter

She'll get over it

How about you?

I'm fine

Phil, how about some footage of me with my big son?

It's a pleasure

Go ahead now. Smile for the dickie bird

I love you

Well, say something We'll like a pair of shop window dummies

Good year, isn't it?

You're drinking champagne?

What would your head master say if I send you back snotched?

He doesn't care. All the kids are lushes

Hey, how's it all going?

Wonderful... just if my two other marriages never happened

He knows you didn't mean it

Darling, you haven't officially met Phillip Stewart

-Phillip? -Congratulations Greg

Thank you

And this is my darling, Jilly

Hi, congratulations

Thanks

Apart from my children, you are the two people I love most

I want you to be friends

Get together you two. I want a shot of you. Thanks Phillip

Have you noticed? Just stepped off a plane

You look beautiful darling

-I don't feel too hot -Ah, you look great Jilly

Get closer together

Oh, that's lovely. Mmm, this is gonna be real academy award stuff

Teeth!

Oh... Out

Hmm, it has its moments... good and bad

It's certainly never been dull with Jilly

and actually I'm worried about her, her moods fluctuate so much lately

Seems alright to me!

I'm glad she and Greg get on so well,

I must admit I was a bit worried she wouldn't like him

It looks like match point

-Jilly, you were fantastic -Congratulations

Good to have a match with a pro every now and again

I can see I'm going to have to give you lessons Jilly

Fine. Are you expensive?

Very... but I'm also very good

-Yeah? -Yeah

-Hello darling -Phillip

How long you guys are gonna spend in Eden?

A month, alone in the outback

Oh, Katie will be there,

but otherwise it will just be us, the dealers and wide-open space

Oh wow, you are gonna adore Eden

I want her to love it the way I do It's the one place I've always been happy

Darling, I have a great idea

Why don't we get Phillip and Jilly to join us at Eden?

Well, for the last couple of weeks, anyway?

Oh, I don't think Phillip will be here. He's got to go back to New York

Well, how about just Jilly then?

Oh don't be silly, it's your honeymoon, God!

Our lives together are going to be one long honeymoon

Aren't they darling?

I'll hold you to that

Gosh, Jilly and I haven't been to Eden together for...

Donkeys years

You're right

Well, it's up to Jilly

Well, come on Jilly?

Oh, I don't know, we'll see... maybe

...It'll be dust in the carburator

I'll have the bloody thing there and cleared, hell

It's vapour lock

-What? -Vapour lock

What's that thing?

Don't worry, it's the carburator

It's vapour lock. You've been dodling, that's what's caused it

Katie is awfully good with engines darling

Will you leave it to me?

It's all yours my dear

I was right. Vapour locked

Might as well take it easy, we gotta wait for it to cool

So when did you happen to open a garage?

Don't you worry, I could have if I wanted

-Come on -Does she really know what she's doing?

You must always trust Katie darling

Oh, I do, I do

Well, I'm afraid it's the lantern tonight darling

Katie is a truffle indisposed at the moment*

She's the only one that ever understood the generator

I'll bet it's vapour locked

If that generator ran on sherry like she does, we wouldn't be in the dark

Katie doesn't drink much

Not much?

Well, not that much

Oh Greg, she's nearly 70

I won't be long

Hey... come here

Will you ever have assets?*

Hey, it's ok

No it's not

Relax... and I keep telling you it's gonna be alright

You worry too much

I love you

Oh, here she comes

Thanks Kit

Hello darling

Hello

Oh, so glad to see you It's gonna be wonderful

-Hello Chris -Hi

-How was your trip? -Internable*

-Hello Jilly -Hi Greg

Welcome to Eden

Have you eaten? Hope you haven't cause Katie has prepared a special lunch

No, no just breakfast at Darwin Airport. It was gaustely

Oh, you'll never guess what we're doing the day after for tomorrow

We're going on a crocodile hunt Greg is arranging it

Come inside, I?ll get you a cup of tea

You know if I ever had any doubts about why Greg married me, I haven't anymore

He makes life fun

Oh, Jilly... I love him so much

I must be the luckiest woman in the world

I even agreed to go on his awful crocodile hunt

You know how I feel about killing things

Oh well! A woman in love will do anything for their man. Isn't it right?

Yes, yes, yes, yes

Oh, I couldn't have stood being away for another minute

Oh God, I've missed you

I couldn't bear the though I mean touching her

Oh baby, I love you so much

What are we going to do? I can't stand that

Trust me

-There he goes -Keep the noise down

Good hit

Easy

Keep that board out of here

Alright pull him up, pull him up

I got George

Watch it mate

-Almost -Bloody hell

Easy

Ok, let's get him up

Guys!

Easy

You can see where he tried to get a bite out of the boat last night

They're huge, aren't they?

You think this is big Wait till you meet Gindy Baroo

He's an old soldie, at 70 years old, 20 foot long

I've been trying to catch him for the last couple of years

He always gives me the slip

Life's put a price on his head Reckon he's killed 4 people already

Joe you're giving me goosebumps

You'll be alright Mrs. Marsden We'll look after you. You got no worries

No she hasn't. I'll be there

Yeah, but what is there? If you're too confident you might end up as croc cracker

Darling, let's not kill anymore please

Look, just do it

Uhhh, you scared me to death!

There's going to be a great sunset

That's why I send for Marilla

Oh wonderful

We'll take Jilly with us

I think she's asleep in a tent

-Well I'll get her up -Ok, I'm just going to put something more on

Ok

I'm not too keen on you going off by yourselves, pretty dark in about an hour

Where's your sense of romance Joe?

I just want to take the girls where they can get a better look at that fabulous sunset

We won't go far I'll be careful, I promise

Well take a rifle with you, just in case, and make sure you're back before dark

You know, if I get in any scrap I'll fire a shot

Right

-Ummm -Come on baby, up

I want to show you the sunset

-Oh, it's lovely isn't it? -Beautiful

-Look at that bird -What is that?

I think I could stay here forever

Oh Greg stop about here. I've got to take a shot of this fabulous sunset

Jilly, look at that

-Beautiful -Ah, this is magnificent

Oh my God!

Look. It must be the bull he's talking about Gindy Baroo, god it's huge

Oh, what a shot this is going to be

The kids aren't gonna believe this

Scary, uh... just watching it

Greg don't say...

Ahhh

Help!

No, no, ah... help...

Help

Oh my god!

You're a bloody idiot, I ought to smash your face in

I warned you going out by yourself, who's fault is it?

You bloody * I wish I never laid eyes on any of you

It was an accident, I keep telling you mate

She was photographing the sun, then we hit a log, and she slipped and fell in

Now you can tell how anything like that happened

I should have

Gosh,.. All I'm interested in is finding my wife

What do we do now?

I'll call * on the radio

but they have no chance of getting here and setting up a search before morning

and then I'm gone

I'm in right into malagro fuss bloody crucify poachers *

but I'm damned if I'll go without future wit because of you, you mongul *

You wanna fight me, go ahead

William?

What chance is there finding her alive?

If you really love your wife fellow, pray she's not

The look on her face

It was an accident, wasn't it?

Wasn't it?

Yes

Good girl

It's just you and me

Here

- ahhhh! - Hold on girlie

Hold on

Easy

Let's get out of here

I don't have too many visitors here

except for native mate who brings me stuff every now and then

tea you know *

Pay him gold

He gave me this concoction the aborals make out of flowers and clay

pongs a bit, but it'll stop you from getting infected

I pulled you out of the river *

Bloody miracle

Looks like a smaller croc got a hold of you

If it'd been one of the big buggers, if you can pardon the language,

you wouldn't be here to tell the tale

I know it hurts bad, girl

but this is a special brew

it'll help the pain

don't you worry, old Dave Welles will see you right

Still up girlie? Take it easy

I don't want to stay in bed all the time

Well, last time I was in town, was 10 years ago

and that was to get the teeth fixed

got a wife somewhere, I owe 20 years alimony to

so I gotta be careful in case they nab me

get you some clothes, help yourself

course I'm not gonna kick you out, but

well, the sooner you're on your way,

the sooner you can contact your friends, your family

let them know you're alive

they've been searching for you for over three weeks

the town is full of coppers

but no one can ever find this place

It's secret

No one ever comes here, unless I bring them

Oh Dave.. I'm so frightened to leave here

I still can't remember anything

I don't even know my name

all I know is... maybe I'm married

Give it time girlie

Give it time

Long time back

I lost my mind, and I got married

I fell in love with a little girl form Mount Aisa

She was a publican's daughter

and her name was Tara

You see her mother only saw one movie picture show in her whole life

and that was Gone With The Wind

Well, I didn't mind, and it had a ring to it *

Well, we were sweethearts

Till one terrible day, she...

she shot through the town and married a butcher

So, if it's alright with you, I'll call you Tara

Going away present

It's a tin of all dreams, I've got no use for anymore

opals like that will give you stuff

Look at the colour

Like fire at night

You'll get a good price for these when you take them into town

but don't you let them rob you

Well... I'll see you

If you have a run into my Mrs. don't you let on you know where I am

Thank you

Good bye...

Tara

Bye Dave

What's you doing all the way out here?

You car break down?

Yes

You live in Darwin?

Yes

It's nice to have a bit of company

Are you ok?

Just feeling a little quiet, eh?

Hey lady, you can't forget your money

they're very good stuff you gave me *

There's over three thousand dollars hey, don't lose it, will you?

Are you alright?

- Ticket to Tansberg please * - Return?

One way

Can I have your name please?

Tara Welles

Welles? Welcome to the Marshall Clinic

Oh, isn't it a great day?

I wouldn't be dead for *

I'll have to do with the money

I am Elizabeth Mason, but everybody calls me Lizzie

It's Tara, isn't it?

Yes

Is that all your luggage? Give it there Lucky

Now, this what I call traveling light

Let's get you out of this sun before you melt.

And you behave yourself. Go catch some fish or something.

- Good bye - Ha, ha!

Doc Marshall is in surgery, otherwise he would have met you himself

but I'm part of the staff, sort of general dog's body

How did you hear about the clinic?

Magazine article...

it said that you specialize in reconstructive surgery

Doc Marshall is one of the best plastic surgeons in the whole country

This one's yours

They're really comfy

Don't you worry love They will leave you smiling *

Well, I'll see you later. I'll tell Doc Marshall you've arrived

What kind of an accident was it, that caused injuries like these?

I know it hurts to talk Mrs. Welles, but... I do have to ask some questions

Car collision

How long ago?

Six weeks

Six weeks?

Only six weeks?

An old man... a friend, who knew something about aboriginal herbal remedies

a paste made from flowers and clay

Yes, we use some of those here

Your jaw has been badly broken, but it seems to have mended again properly

Your friend certainly knew what he was doing

I owe him my life

But your injuries are extensive and severe Mrs. Welles

They require more than just the one operation

They'll be several. Reconstructive, cosmetic.

There will be pain. A great deal

afterwards, extreme discomfort

I'm not afraid of pain

We couldn't begin to operate until the scar tissue softens,

and that could be several weeks

That's alright

Do you have a recent photograph of yourself?

One taken, before the accident?

No I don't. I'm sorry

Doctor Marshall, I want more than just having these scars covered up

I want to look different

When I leave here, I want to be a completely different person

Hey, can you grab the rope?

Mind tying it around the log for me?

Thanks, that's great

Hey there girl, come here

Well, what do you reckon?

Not bad for a couple of hours of work, eh?

You fish?

No

Here it has its practical purposes, it helps with the food bits

Ah, what do you think of it?

It's nice

It has a... natural healing power Perfect place to practice medicine

Unfortunately it took quite a few years

and a lot of headaches to convince the bureaucracy of it

Where were you born?

In the country

Ah, I envy you that!

What about family?

No one

You don't like talking about yourself to much, do you?

Dr. Marshall... I understood that you guaranty your patients' privacy

Ok, I promise not to ask anymore leading questions,

and you're gonna have to stop calling me Dr. Marshall

My name is Dan

Alright

Come on

Ben, you take it slow this time, you little... ha, ha...

That was terrific

Tara, your magazines are here

They came on the morning launch

This dress look at you. Every time I see you, you're thinner... ha,

We'll knock a few more kilos of you yet, before it's all over

I should talk! Different for me, I work here

Hm, ha!

Here you go

You sure get through some magazines

It keeps me occupied

Good morning Lizzie

Good day Dan

Hi, good morning, how are you feeling?

Fine

Hello Ben

Hi Dan. Swam three lengths yesterday

Well, that's great

Like you. It was a car accident

He was a passenger.

The others were all killed. They were burned to death. One of them was his father

Are you alright?

Tara?

Is anything wrong?

The water makes me nervous. I can't swim

Swimming is gonna be an important part of your rehabilitation

We'll have to do something about that

All the hidden booze when I met him Busted marriage!

In and out of institutions... he offered me a job

Your Dan Marshall's a good blog

I asked him once why he never go married

He said there's been a couple of special ladies, but he couldn't cut the life he leads

This place looks a bit like a posh resort, but it takes all your time

then, the dedicated type

whoever married him would have to be willing to adjust their lives to his

Are you sure I'm not hurting?

No, no it's fine

Hi. Lizzie said this is where I'd find you

I often come here myself... to sit

A lot of contrast to our side of the island

Tomorrow is the big day

I just wanted to say it one last time

Once we start, there's no turning back

I know

There're no guarantees

It's alright... I understand

Again

Again

Townsil Police *

Hello. This is Dr. Marshall here, from the clinic on Ofclear Sound *

Can I speak to sergeant Johnson please?

- Just a moment please - Thank you

Sergeant Johnson here, how are you?

Yeah, hello Sam... Dan Marshall

Hey, how are you?

I'm fine, thanks

I was wondering if you could... track down a missing person for me

A friend is it?

Yeah, she's a patient of mine

Suffering a temporary memory loss

Take it easy... it'll be alright everything went very well

rest easy

Hey mate?

Tara, came to say good bye

When do you leave?

In a few minutes. I'd kiss you, but I can't find the space

Anyway, take care of yourself

Good luck Ben

Yeah, you too

- Pier right? * - Thank you

Scalpel, frontel *

And again

and the scissors

Thank you

So far, so good

How's the pain?

I know, it hurts like hell

I'm ok

We're taking the bandages off tomorrow, Tara

I want you to be prepared for shock

A mean hell of a shock

When you look in the mirror for the first time

They'll be your eyes looking back at you,

but from the face of a stranger

Good morning,

how did you sleep?

Not very well

Neither did I. Let's not prolong the suspense

You realize there'll be bruising, some puffiness and

the stitches will have to remain in for a while

You ready?

Remember, I don't know how you looked before the accident

or even how you sounded

How about if you like what you see, you just nod?

Sister Wisner, you're wanted in recovery... Sister Wisner...

You're doing it! You're doing it!

So says top... fashion consultant and agency head, Joanna Randall

with a good collection of adaptable accessories

you can dress up or down, with little fuss

so says top fashion consultant and agency head, Joanna Randall

I can't tell you what a relief that is

Have dinner with me tonight?

I wouldn't miss it for queen *

I really must learn to cook

If you ever need a guinea pig, give me a call

I fancy being around when you serve up your first bacon and eggs

I didn't know 40 year old ladies blushed!

Or is it just the glow from the fire?

Going away present

My seashells will always remind me of Orpheus

You are so beautiful

Well, you should be very proud, you did it

Hey, you're still the same lady I met six months ago. Don't you ever forget it

I just wish you'd trust me enough, to tell me what it is you're running away from

Dan

At least tell me you have somewhere to stay when you get to the city

and enough money

I'll be fine

I'm gonna miss you

You must know by now, I think of you as special

Dan, there's some things I have to do, alone.

I'm sorry but I just can't talk about it. Now please, please no more questions

Ok... ok

Come on. Let's eat it before it burns

- Ready to push off Dan - Thanks Lucky

Scared?

A little

If you ever need anything, just call

I'll be alright

Good luck Tara

Good bye

Yes?

Bill, Greg Marsden is still here. It's been over half an hour

Alright Margaret, show him in

This is a surprise visit Greg, what can we do for you?

I've tried to get you on the phone all week

Yes I know. I've been out of the office quite a bit

It's a busy time of the year. Why don't you sit down?

It's been eight months since Stephanie died, Bill

Press had a field day there for a while.

Would have thought the world was coming to an end

Now it's as if she never even existed

Stephanie Harper hasn't been forgotten

Certainly not by me

I find it hard to believe, that after three separate searches

two organized by this company

that still a body has not been found

Something, a skeleton

Everything that could be done, has been done

Well, I'm not satisfied

Really?

Do you honestly mean to tell me that this huge organization with all its resources

that can manage to find uranium, iron ore, gold, oil

can't even find a handful of bloody bones?

You hypocrite

your only reason for wanting Stephanie's death legally established is money

Well, I loved Stephanie Harper, she was like a daughter to me

and it's a pity you never took the trouble to get to know her before she died

She wasn't perfect, but she was warm and cared about people

Every begging letter that arrived, she'd read, and some she'd cry over

and she'd give and give and give and all she ever asked for herself

was to be accepted for what she was, rather than who she was

She tried damn hard, and that's ever tough for everyone

Yes, I'd love the chance to give Stephanie a proper funeral

but I'm glad they didn't find the body

because I want you to sweat out every moment of the next seven years

after that time, you're legally entitled to a slice

of one of the biggest fortunes in Australia

But I should point out, that before Stephanie married you

I persuaded her to add a clause to her will

In the event of her pre-deceasing you, and you re-married,

you forfeit the lot

Meantime, you can try getting a job

Working for a living might prove a pleasant change

Yes!

- Mr. Dell? - That's right

I'm the lady who rang about the room

Oh, good

The ad said $50 a week

That's right. It's payable a month in advance, and there's $100 bond

Oh, you didn't mention anything about a bond, or paying in advance

Well, landlords have to protect themselves you know

I've fasted people in the past and they've done a midnight flee on me

I've arrived in Sydney with $400, and I still got things to buy

I haven't even got a job yet

I'm sorry, I'm wasting your time

No, hold on, alright we'll forget about the bond

Could we make it two weeks in advance?

I don't know what it is about you, but well, somehow I feel safe with you

Alright, two weeks in advance

Thank you

- Could I see the room? - Oh yes, come in, come in

It's a nice old pub... quite bit of Aussie history

When would you want to move in?

Right away, if I could

It's ok with me

How old is the hotel?

It was served pub in 1915, there's a lot of photos down in... *

It's got a harbour view... I'll take it

Fine. What's your name?

Tara Welles

My god, it's Gone With The Wind, isn't it?

I'm Sandy. Well anything you need, just give us a yell. Ok?

Thanks... Sandy

It's ok

You hungry darling?

You don't say who you belong to either, do you?

Want some dinner?

Come on then... Maxie. How do you like that eh? Maxie.

Good boy Maxie

You're impatient, aren't you? Here you go. It wasn't your turn

Ayo?... Hello?

Hello

Tara, feel like a night cap?

Hey Dennis, get him

Maxie

They've grown so much

You should've seen my little princess She was so beautiful

She only missed three notes

Oh, excuse me

I'm expecting a taxi. It hasn't been and gone, has it?

No, I don't think so

Oh.. they did say 20 minutes and, of course I usually get the bus

but, I haven't been at all well lately

Ah... here he is

I couldn't give you a lift, could I?

No, thank you

Oh, well, good afternoon

No baby

Thanks, bye bye

I'd like to see Joanna Randall, please

I'm sorry, she's busy at the moment

I think Joanna would like to see you

Thank you

Won't be a tick *

I need an agent

Someone who can get me on the cover of Vogue in six months
