00:00:00From the raw Australia of the 1900s comes a turbulent saga that spans the decades.
00:00:08Colleen McCullough's best-selling novel, The Thorn Birds.
00:00:11The story of an ambitious priest, a beautiful woman, and a love that lasted a lifetime.
00:00:17You can marry me. Do you love me?
00:00:19But I love God more.
00:00:21His ambition took him from the woman he loved to the corridors of power.
00:00:29Her desire brought her to the man she thought could take his place.
00:00:33I've got my own announcement to make. I'm going to marry Luke O'Neill.
00:00:36But her heart was with the man she could never have.
00:00:40What I wouldn't give if she were yours instead of Luke's.
00:00:44God knows how much I've hurt you, but I do love you.
00:00:48Megan's my wife, not yours.
00:00:49Then be a husband to her, man.
00:00:53What kind of God would shut men out of paradise for loving women?
00:00:58A God I still can't give up for you.
00:01:01And tonight, the story continues.
00:01:04I found a pleasure in her I never dreamed she existed.
00:01:06Megan, what are you doing here?
00:01:08You complacent, conceited...
00:01:11Megan, shut up!
00:01:14Oh!
00:01:15I've come back.
00:01:16Will you tell Ralph?
00:01:17What should I tell him?
00:01:18That he has a son.
00:01:19And from generation to generation, their desire and torment live on.
00:01:24From the London stage, to the islands of Greece, and back to Australia.
00:01:29What else have I ever done but pay for the great sin of loving Ralph de Bricasseau?
00:01:34Featuring Christopher Plummer, Piper Laurie, Earl Holliman, Ken Howard, Mayor Winningham,
00:01:40Philip Anglum, Gene Simmons, Brian Brown, Rachel Ward, and Richard Chamberlain.
00:01:46A love, unattainable, forbidden, forever.
00:01:53The Thorn Birds.

00:02:48Thank you all.
00:03:07Thank you all.
00:03:41Thank you all.
00:04:06Thank you all.
00:04:41Thank you all.
00:04:56Here we are, we've finally arrived.
00:04:58We missed you, Maggie.
00:05:00We are happy to have you back with us.
00:05:03Come in, I'll take the suitcase.
00:05:07Go see little Justine.
00:05:16He doesn't even remember me, apparently.
00:05:25He came to visit you, didn't he?
00:05:32What should I have done?
00:05:34When he saw that you were not there, he almost fell dead at my feet and he had such a funereal look
00:05:38that broke my heart.
00:05:40And then I confess, I thought maybe he would give up anything for you.
00:05:52And how do you manage to be so happy?
00:05:57Annie, it's hard to explain.
00:06:00I will forever live in the memory of those few days spent with him.
00:06:05And I'm happy precisely because I don't want him to accuse me one day of having distanced him from what he believes.
00:06:10his destiny.
00:06:12You're about to leave us, aren't you?
00:06:16Yes.
00:06:38Ralf, welcome back to Rome.
00:06:59Then he chose.
00:07:01She is the one who forced me to do it in order to continue living in the church.
00:07:07But now that I've chosen, how do I move forward?
00:07:16I have now transgressed all the sacred vows.
00:07:22Because of the rose?
00:07:25Yes.
00:07:32Vittorio, I have never felt such ecstasy in God as I felt with her.
00:07:40I found a pleasure in her that I never imagined existed.
00:07:44Not just for his body.
00:07:47But because I liked being close to her.
00:07:51I don't know, smile at her, talk to her.
00:07:58Share food, share thoughts with her.
00:08:07I never wanted to leave her.
00:08:11Yet he left her.
00:08:14He found the strength to leave her.
00:08:18But I couldn't forget her.
00:08:20It's her memory that haunts me and I don't know how I'll ever tear her from my heart.
00:08:26But maybe he shouldn't forget her.
00:08:30Maybe it is this torment that will save her.
00:08:40Remember the Greek legend of Hippolytus?
00:08:46The tragedy we saw in Athens, yes.
00:08:49Yes, he was killed because he didn't know how to love.
00:08:53No, because he was too proud to love.
00:09:03Too presumptuous to consider himself a mere mortal.
00:09:11Yes, she broke her vows.
00:09:14But with them I hope I have also broken that proud spirit.
00:09:19that kept her from what she wanted most.
00:09:26You see Ralf, no one can become a true priest
00:09:31if he doesn't have at least humility
00:09:33to understand that first of all he too is a man.
00:09:44when he thinks of his rose
00:09:48convince yourself that it was her
00:09:51to force her to this awareness.
00:09:56No.
00:09:59Oh, no.
00:10:03See it only as
00:10:06a means of my salvation
00:10:08it would be the worst presumption of my life.
00:10:12She truly loves
00:10:14in spite of everything and everyone
00:10:17in a total communion of mind and heart.
00:10:23I would like that too
00:10:26to be able to love like she does.
00:10:28walnuts to me Ừ
00:10:51nuts to me
00:11:03Oh, Annie, dear.
00:11:10How can I thank you?
00:11:12Did you take better care of me than my own parents?
00:11:14Oh, what nonsense.
00:11:16We'll be coming to visit you in Drogheda in the next few months, won't we, Labby?
00:11:19Yes, I wouldn't mind going there.
00:11:32Come on, Justin. It's time to go.
00:11:35I'm busy.
00:11:45Keep him in mind, Annie. There are few men like him.
00:11:49Oh, that's right.
00:11:51Take heart, Maggie.
00:11:53See you soon, Maggie.
00:12:02I really hope to witness more divine scenes like these.
00:12:10Until we meet again.
00:12:23Hey, what's going on? The Ucchians are playing catch-up.
00:12:25It's about time. Nothing ever happens here.
00:12:28The last fight I saw was three months ago.
00:12:34Come on.
00:12:36Oh, yes.
00:12:37Force.
00:12:39Liu, show who you are.
00:12:41Bravo.
00:12:42Remove orders.
00:12:45Remove orders.
00:12:50Remove orders.
00:12:52Remove orders.
00:12:55Remove orders.
00:13:01Remove orders.
00:13:07Remove orders.
00:13:08Remove orders.
00:13:10No.
00:13:19Hi, Luke
00:13:20Hi, Megan, what are you doing here?
00:13:23Beautiful woman, poor thing
00:13:25What the hell are you doing with that little girl in your arms?
00:13:28Yes, it's true, you've never seen it.
00:13:31Luke, this is Justin, your daughter.
00:13:33Look, Megan, if you came with the same old story about setting up home, now's not the time.
00:13:38Is this your welcome?
00:13:39Wasn't it enough for you to send me that damned Catholic priest?
00:13:42What the hell are you talking about?
00:13:44Why don't you know about when I didn't want to take his money?
00:13:47And you sent him here to convince me?
00:13:50I haven't seen him since the day Justin was born.
00:13:52It's natural that she came, he's a nosy priest and he was upset.
00:13:56Because he would have wanted to see me with half a dozen other brats
00:13:59That's what you wanted too, right?
00:14:01Yes, I was stupid enough to believe that.
00:14:04But thanks to you I had all the time to look around
00:14:07and discover what I've lost over the years
00:14:10And I realized that the last thing I want in the world
00:14:12is to spend the rest of my life in a squalid breeding farm
00:14:16with you in Western Queensland
00:14:17Megan, that's enough!
00:14:18That would have been my great reward.
00:14:21after wasting God only knows how many years
00:14:23waiting for you to become a real man
00:14:26while you are not and never will be
00:14:29So I decided to leave you
00:14:31What? Are you leaving me?
00:14:32I will never let you do that
00:14:34Don't worry
00:14:36You always have your dear Arnie left
00:14:38Maybe you can be useful to him because you are no longer useful to me.
00:14:41And if I happen to want more children
00:14:43I won't have any trouble getting myself a nice stallion
00:14:46And if you really want to know everything, darling
00:14:49You have been nothing but selfish with me.
00:14:53An arrogant and presumptuous man even in bed
00:14:58When you make love you make me vomit
00:15:09By the way, as you have money that you stole from me
00:15:12Keep them
00:15:13I'm happy to sacrifice them
00:15:17But he has one condition
00:15:19From this moment disappear from my life
00:15:21I never want to see you again
00:15:32Take me to Danglo station
00:16:04Well, the bus is coming
00:16:06Oh, magnificent
00:16:08Let's hope he brought my sweet flour
00:16:25Bob, Jack, it's me, Maggie
00:16:28Maggie
00:16:30Hey, Maggie
00:16:32What are you doing here?
00:16:35Oh my God, what a joy
00:16:37Mrs. Cleary, Mrs. Cleary, come on.
00:16:40She's back
00:16:41She's back
00:16:42Oh, our Maggie is back
00:16:44What a surprise
00:16:45But look who's there
00:16:46The Angelness
00:16:49Ah, you could have warned us you were coming.
00:16:56Oh, but look at her, they're doing well
00:16:58What has
00:16:59But how do you know to me?
00:17:03Yes, but he won't notice, you'll see.
00:17:24Mom
00:17:26I came back home
00:17:27Forever
00:17:31You mean you left Luke
00:17:35He didn't want me
00:17:38And neither do his children.
00:17:42Children?
00:17:44Yes
00:17:46I'm having another baby
00:18:08Dane
00:18:09I knew it was going to be beautiful
00:18:15But look how beautiful she is too
00:18:17Mrs. Cleary, this little angel
00:18:20It's really a love
00:18:22Oh yes, he already looks like a little man
00:18:24But he knows how to ride a horse
00:18:26Oh, he will learn
00:18:29He will learn
00:18:29Oh, Giassi
00:18:31Giassi, what are you doing all alone?
00:18:33On
00:18:34Come with me, little cleaner
00:18:35Oh, look, he's smiling
00:18:39Giassi, come here, darling
00:18:41You come
00:18:42Come see how beautiful your little brother is
00:18:45Watch it
00:18:46Do you want to give him a kiss?
00:18:47Courage
00:18:47Very quietly
00:18:50Giassi
00:18:51He wasn't doing anything wrong
00:18:54No, no, don't cry, darling
00:18:56On
00:19:00Now let's play a nice little game, shall we?
00:19:02Get some rest, Maggie.
00:19:03Peter is right
00:19:05We'll come back later
00:19:17Mom
00:19:19Pick him up if you want.
00:19:36You'll tell Ralph
00:19:39To Father de Bricassar?
00:19:42I don't know, why should I tell him?
00:19:51Because he has a son
00:19:55Mom
00:19:57But what are you making up?
00:20:00What the hell are you saying?
00:20:02No, don't lie, Maggie
00:20:04Not with me
00:20:07I realized it the day you came back
00:20:09You came back because
00:20:11you had what you wanted
00:20:13It was no longer necessary to stay with Luke
00:20:15No, you know it's not like that
00:20:18Luke didn't want me anymore
00:20:20Maggie
00:20:23I've been watching you and Ralph de Bricassar for years
00:20:27All he had to do was wave his little finger at you.
00:20:29for you to run to him
00:20:32Just as he ran to you
00:20:34from the moment he met you
00:20:38Poor Ralph
00:20:42When was he here last year
00:20:44and he found out you were married
00:20:46and that you lived far away
00:20:47I understood that sooner or later he would come looking for you
00:20:51And he did, right?
00:20:56You are very cruel, mom.
00:21:01And I was stupid enough to delude myself that you would understand.
00:21:08Because of Frank
00:21:20Good, good
00:21:23You finally said it
00:21:28And how long have you known this?
00:21:31Since I was a little girl
00:21:34Since Frank left my house
00:21:45Mom
00:21:50I was sixteen when I met that man
00:21:54It had everything that was missing on foot.
00:21:56He was refined
00:21:58Cultured
00:22:00Fascinating
00:22:03I thought I couldn't live without him.
00:22:08But he was a very important man
00:22:11A politician
00:22:13And he was already married
00:22:17And he wasn't going to sacrifice his position for me.
00:22:22I didn't exist in the face of his ambitions.
00:22:27Just like you don't exist for Ralph
00:22:32I know I can never have Ralph
00:22:35But at least I had a part of him that the church can't take away from me.
00:22:39But yes
00:22:41Yes, that's what I did
00:22:43I took for myself only what I could
00:22:46A son of his to love
00:22:51But what is left to me?
00:22:54I lost Frank
00:22:57And as a mother I paid the worst price.
00:23:02And I should pay you too
00:23:05Believe me daughter
00:23:06God does not forget
00:23:08Don't you think I've paid enough already?
00:23:11What more shall I have to suffer for the grave sin of having loved Ralph de Bricassaro?
00:23:18All my life I have done nothing but follow the right path in the fear of Almighty God.
00:23:22And what good did it do me but break my heart?
00:23:26Oh no mom, I'm not afraid of God anymore
00:23:30As for Ralph
00:23:32He will never know that Deine is his son
00:23:34If you don't tell him
00:23:38And if you do it
00:23:39I warn you now that I will be merciless with you.
00:23:42As you were with me, mom.
00:24:04If you will even go against God for him
00:24:07Like me
00:24:14But I have already won God
00:24:17Deine is mine and no one can take it away from me
00:24:48And if you also go against God
00:24:50And if you also go against God
00:25:46And if you also go against God
00:26:18And if you also go against God
00:26:22Hey there, is anyone home?
00:27:12Hey there.
00:27:24He has risen above the darkness of the night, the envy and the columnia, the hatred and the pain and
00:27:32that ferment which men call pleasure they can never touch or torture again.
00:27:40From the contagion of the impurities of the world, he is now immune.
00:27:49And he can't cry, his heart has grown cold and his head is gray in vain.
00:27:57No, no, no, you don't know it yet.
00:28:01He lives, he awakens, and it is death that is dead, not he.
00:28:10Good morning, we were just acting.
00:28:13Can we help you, sir?
00:28:15I came to visit the clinics, miss.
00:28:18Uncle Jack took everyone to Gilly for Christmas shopping, but they'll be back soon.
00:28:23You, you must be my son, Kid Day.
00:28:27Yes, sir.
00:28:30I am Cardinal de Bricassano.
00:28:33Excuse me, Your Eminence.
00:28:35We were only expecting his arrival tomorrow.
00:28:44But are you really sure you are the cardinal?
00:28:46You look disappointed.
00:28:48Well, I expected to see her arrive with great fanfare, amid clouds of glory and so on.
00:28:55Yes, yes.
00:28:56You have to come to the Vatican for these things.
00:28:58Sin.
00:29:00She must look gorgeous in red.
00:29:03I'm Justin, by the way.
00:29:06Can we avoid the ring kiss?
00:29:07You know, to me religion is just a big load of bullshit.
00:29:11Yes, yes.
00:29:13Take it easy, Dane.
00:29:14Justin and I are old friends.
00:29:18As soon as we met, you peed on me, if I remember correctly.
00:29:27Mom will be so happy to see you, Dad.
00:29:29It must have been twenty years since I was last here.
00:29:54Mom will be so happy to see her.
00:30:26Hi sweetie.
00:30:30Mom, look who you are.
00:30:31Father Raff.
00:30:42Hi, Meggie.
00:30:53Isn't it wonderful, Mom?
00:30:58Marvelous.
00:31:15Oh yes, by now I was convinced that I had to give him the holy oil.
00:31:18On the other hand, Deinja was clearly hopeless on the ground.
00:31:21And you were very convincing indeed, my dear.
00:31:24Our Giassi considers herself a seasoned actress.
00:31:27Thank you, Mom.
00:31:29I admit I'm pretty good.
00:31:31You would think so too if you came to my shows.
00:31:34Giassi is fabulous, the best of her entire group.
00:31:38Well, if you ask me, it's all nonsense, Giassi.
00:31:40How old are you, twenty?
00:31:42Why don't you think about marriage instead of showing off on stage?
00:31:45I'm getting married, Uncle Bob.
00:31:47Rob, I would ruin the family tradition.
00:31:51Listen up.
00:31:52I don't think I'll waste my talent blowing kids' noses,
00:31:55to bow to a guy just because he's my husband.
00:31:58Giassi.
00:32:00Our Giassi is grassy as always, right?
00:32:04It seems that it will be up to Dein to ensure that the Cliri lineage does not become extinct.
00:32:08Ah, what are you talking about?
00:32:09I should have quite a few kids to help you run the drug business.
00:32:12if we keep expanding like this.
00:32:14Yes, you made great strides after the war.
00:32:17I would definitely say so.
00:32:18This year's income alone would have been enough to buy Mary Carson's entire estate.
00:32:24And next year could be even better.
00:32:26So I really don't think the mother church has anything to complain about.
00:32:30If we hadn't been owned by the church, the government would have taken care of downsizing us.
00:32:34The McQueen estate was reduced almost by half.
00:32:37Think, Ralph.
00:32:38One day Dein will head up the largest stud farm in New South Wales.
00:32:42On that day?
00:32:44I can't imagine a better future for Dein.
00:32:48On that day?
00:32:59So, Giadi, still here in Drogheda?
00:33:01Oh, yes, I would have liked to leave, of course.
00:33:05How old are you? Thirty?
00:33:07Maybe even more.
00:33:08So many.
00:33:09I still remember when they made you Gilly's little queen.
00:33:13I almost forgot about it.
00:33:25Grandma Fee, what strange hair!
00:33:26Yet in my day it was very elegant, you know?
00:33:30Mom, you never cease to amaze me.
00:33:32I didn't realize you kept these photos.
00:33:35I myself haven't looked at them since the day of the fire.
00:33:38But it's time to show them to your children.
00:33:41So, this is your Grandpa Paddy, with little Al.
00:33:46And Stewie, dear Stewie.
00:33:50That's who I look like, right, Mom?
00:33:53Yes, darling, you are as adorable as him.
00:33:57Who is this hero with the boxing gloves?
00:34:00It's not a cliri for sure?
00:34:02Yeah, yeah, there's nothing wrong with that, dear.
00:34:06This is my Frank.
00:34:10It's a photo they sent me from prison when he died.
00:34:17Mom, this is you.
00:34:21You were beautiful.
00:34:23I was.
00:34:24Ah, the cruelty of young people.
00:34:26What a beautiful dress you had.
00:34:28Blue, right?
00:34:30No, mom, yours was blue.
00:34:34Maggie was dressed in pink.
00:34:36It was called Rose Ash.
00:34:38You were the most beautiful and charming girl I had ever seen.
00:34:43No, no, no, no.
00:34:58Thank you.
00:35:35Nothing's changed, has it?
00:35:37Not even after all these years of silence between us.
00:35:42Only you are more enchanting than ever.
00:35:45More than that girl who wore an ash-colored dress of roses.
00:35:52It's because I'm happy.
00:35:56When you left me on Medlock Island, I thought I'd never see you again.
00:36:02And yet you came back again.
00:36:04It's so early.
00:36:17Why did you come back, now that you have everything you said you wanted?
00:36:23Yes, I have everything.
00:36:27Except what I had with you on that island, in those days.
00:36:32For twenty years I have done nothing but fight my desire for you.
00:36:36I couldn't bear the thought of leaving this life without seeing you again.
00:36:42Aren't you going to be sick?
00:36:43Oh, no.
00:36:46I'm just getting older.
00:36:51I too will have to die like every other man.
00:36:57I want to tell you something, Mackey.
00:37:01After all these years, I haven't been able to explain myself
00:37:06how after Medlock Island, you were able to return to Luke
00:37:11and give him a son.
00:37:25You don't have to think of Dane as Luke's son.
00:37:30Or anyone else's.
00:37:32It's mine only.
00:37:35You love Dane deeply, right?
00:37:45Maybe I love him too much, I think to myself sometimes.
00:37:49That's what I did with you too, I loved you too much.
00:38:12The day looks like it's going to be quite hot, Father.
00:38:15Maybe we'd better take the jeep, don't you think?
00:38:18It would be more prudent, Ralph.
00:38:19It's been years since you've ridden.
00:38:21And we're not that young anymore, don't you think?
00:38:24Well, you know, I...
00:38:26I'll try to get by,
00:38:28if you assure me that the mare is sweet and calm.
00:38:30Do you want to go?
00:38:40Be careful!
00:38:51He is very attracted to him.
00:38:55He didn't have a father.
00:38:57Let's let Ralph enjoy himself while he's here.
00:38:59I thought you might tell Ralph after all.
00:39:04And what would it be for?
00:39:08What would be the point of not telling him?
00:39:11Oh, mommy!
00:39:13I've noticed that every day that passes
00:39:15you are more and more disappointed
00:39:16that I may not be struck by divine lightning.
00:39:19For the first time in my life I am happy.
00:39:23Let me enjoy these acts.
00:39:33Where is Dane?
00:39:41Damn, I wanted to say hello to him.
00:39:43Can I know what he intends to do?
00:39:45I'm getting ready to hit the stage, Mom.
00:39:47They just called me from the theatre.
00:39:49It seems our leading lady is throwing a tantrum.
00:39:52So may God bless us.
00:39:55Do you have to go to Sydney?
00:39:57Yes, Uncle Jack takes me on plane rides.
00:40:00Yes, but it's Christmas.
00:40:01Yes, Mom.
00:40:03It is usually at Christmas that it is staged
00:40:04the Christmas story.
00:40:07Giassi, you know how important this is to me.
00:40:09this Christmas with Ralph here?
00:40:11Yes, but now I've accepted.
00:40:13I'll never have another chance like this again.
00:40:15Oh, yes, of course.
00:40:17So this is an opportunity not to be missed.
00:40:20In fact, I'm more than convinced of it.
00:40:22Look, Mom, you should be happy for me.
00:40:25If I'm lucky I'll be able to do a dozen performances.
00:40:29Good heavens, daughter, it's the same character...
00:40:32My father?
00:40:36You finally said it.
00:40:38I have to go visit her someday.
00:40:40We have a lot to say to each other.
00:40:42Hello, Grandma Fee.
00:41:09Having her here in Drogheda means a lot to me.
00:41:16I know very well that you know very little about me, but...
00:41:20I've been wanting to meet her for a long time.
00:41:24Talk to her.
00:41:33Father, have you ever had any regrets about deciding to embrace the priesthood?
00:41:39Well, yes, it's inevitable, I guess.
00:41:43I lost something.
00:41:45A woman to share my life with.
00:41:49And maybe even a son like you.
00:41:51I would have liked to have a child, really.
00:41:55But what prompted you to decide to become a priest?
00:41:59Well, strangely enough, I wouldn't call it a real decision.
00:42:06It was something he always knew from the very beginning.
00:42:11My destiny, you mean.
00:42:21Father...
00:42:33I want to become a priest too.
00:42:39Dane...
00:42:43Why?
00:42:45When you could do anything with your life,
00:42:49be anything...
00:42:51But how can he talk to me like that?
00:42:54When she is exactly how I want to be.
00:42:57Oh, not you.
00:42:59You know nothing about the man inside me.
00:43:02In me you see only the cardinal, the prince of the church.
00:43:05I see the priest.
00:43:07The perfect priest.
00:43:09Then you're wrong.
00:43:15Son, to say that it was my destiny to become a priest
00:43:19That doesn't mean it was all that easy.
00:43:22A whole life always spent in extreme desire
00:43:25to offer myself completely to God
00:43:26he gave me only in return
00:43:30a few rare moments of communion with him.
00:43:35I have failed in all my vows.
00:43:39Do you realize that?
00:43:41All my votes
00:43:43I was not up to the sacrifice
00:43:45which God requires of his servants.
00:43:47But she suffered and matured.
00:43:52Father, when I speak of a perfect priest
00:43:55I'm not referring to an inhuman automaton at all
00:44:01but to someone who truly seeks to do God's will.
00:44:09Maybe I'm not even up to making this sacrifice.
00:44:15but if I don't even try
00:44:19life will no longer have meaning for me.
00:44:24It's the only way I know to prove to God
00:44:26how much and how I love him.
00:44:39Have you wondered what this will mean for your mother?
00:44:46Yes, Father
00:44:46and I fought so long to get it out of my mind.
00:44:51I know how important it was to her
00:44:53that I should stay and live here in Drogheda.
00:44:58I love my mother so much
00:45:02but
00:45:05I love God more.
00:45:09At least let me help you, son.
00:45:11I'll talk to her because I love her too.
00:45:15No, Ralph!
00:45:17Don't you dare touch me!
00:45:21Please believe me
00:45:23Dane had already made his decision
00:45:25long before I came along.
00:45:27I know exactly what you want.
00:45:30You think I don't know you're here alone
00:45:31to take back what I stole?
00:45:34I don't understand you.
00:45:35No, you don't want to.
00:45:37But then again, understanding is not the most important gift.
00:45:39for the men of Holy Mother Church.
00:45:41Faith is all that matters.
00:45:45Well, then let me tell you, Ralph.
00:45:47I have more faith than you, Dane.
00:45:49and all the saints in heaven
00:45:51even though God never forgave me.
00:45:52And he's always ready to bounce back
00:45:54that little bit of happiness I stole from him.
00:45:56But no one can take your Dane away from you.
00:45:58He is the one who chose to follow his calling.
00:46:03It's possible that you don't see
00:46:06how much suffering it costs him.
00:46:10He loves you
00:46:12so much.
00:46:16No, Ralph.
00:46:18He loves God more.
00:46:20Margaret, stop it!
00:46:23When I became a priest
00:46:27my mother swore that
00:46:29that he would never forgive me
00:46:31and kept his oath
00:46:34don't give this pain
00:46:35to Dane, Maggie.
00:46:52Okay, take it.
00:46:57If I really have to leave him
00:46:59I leave it to you.
00:47:00Take it?
00:47:02Yes.
00:47:04When he finishes school
00:47:06in spring
00:47:07I will send him to you in Rome
00:47:09so I could be close to him.
00:47:13You have to protect him.
00:47:17But also promise me
00:47:18that if he ever wanted it
00:47:21you will send it back to me.
00:47:24Because it belongs to me
00:47:25before others.
00:47:27You will not be asked
00:47:28this sacrifice.
00:47:30I'll try to get him admitted.
00:47:31in a seminar in Sydney
00:47:32this way you will stay close.
00:47:34You know well that it takes years
00:47:35to prepare for the priesthood.
00:47:36No, Ralph.
00:47:38Your God wants
00:47:39that I pay for my guilt.
00:47:41All right.
00:47:43I'll let Dane
00:47:44come with you
00:47:45so I won't have anything anymore
00:47:47to be discounted.
00:47:48I will have given back to God
00:47:50all that
00:47:51that I have ever had
00:47:52or loved one
00:47:53in my entire life.
00:47:57Surely
00:47:58not even God
00:47:59could you ask me more.
00:48:23I'm so sorry.
00:48:26Please, can you forgive?
00:48:27I didn't want to make you suffer.
00:48:55I didn't mean to hurt you.
00:48:57what do you care about?
00:49:16I didn't mean to hurt you.
00:49:19I didn't mean to hurt you.
00:49:20I didn't mean to hurt you.
00:49:23I didn't mean to hurt you.
00:49:36Thank you all.
00:50:17Thank you all.
00:50:27For whatever reason I have sinned against the gods. I fear that the burden of my crime will fall on my children and
00:50:35he will lose them both.
00:50:37Oh Justin, you're going to be a wonderful girl. I wish I had the talent you have.
00:50:44Believe me Marta, you don't need my talent.
00:50:51The virgin goddess Artemis commands you to enter.
00:50:54Honey, tell me right now that I was good.
00:50:58Oh Justin, I'm so sorry, dear. I missed the whole show.
00:51:04Let me guess, you were having your usual chat with Jesus and time just flew by.
00:51:10Oh Dane, you're a mess.
00:51:14I should wait until I finish getting dressed.
00:51:17I'll be ready in a moment.
00:51:21Greetings.
00:51:23You haven't been seen for a long time.
00:51:27Oh, hi Marta.
00:51:29How are you?
00:51:31Shocked as always by your resemblance to Conadone.
00:51:38Maybe I'd better wait outside, Giassi.
00:51:40Don't be afraid, I'm leaving.
00:51:45Goodbye then.
00:51:48Bye bye.
00:51:49HI.
00:51:58Poor Marta, she will never forgive you for wanting to keep everything for God.
00:52:02Oh, by the way, guess what I did last night.
00:52:06Ah, you finally killed the lead actor.
00:52:10Almost.
00:52:11I went to bed with him.
00:52:15I did it out of necessity.
00:52:17I'm going to be the next Phaedra and I had to know something about passion.
00:52:21Do you think so?
00:52:22Right?
00:52:25Yes, yes.
00:52:27But why do you keep pretending you don't care?
00:52:30As if you were too good to need anyone.
00:52:34To love someone.
00:52:36Probably because I'm too smart.
00:52:38With you, these beautiful feelings didn't yield any crabs, did they seem?
00:52:42Will you ever be able to forgive me?
00:52:44Why do you want to become a tree-stealing father?
00:52:48Maybe not.
00:52:50When are you leaving for Rome?
00:52:52Thursday.
00:52:54I decided that I'll spend a few days with my mother first.
00:53:04I'd love for you to visit him sometime too.
00:53:07I know you've never gotten along very well.
00:53:10Yes, I used to cry my eyes out, but now I'm done with the tears.
00:53:16Anyway, I won't be able to keep Mom company in your place because I won't be staying here either.
00:53:21What do you want to say?
00:53:23I finally realized that I was too talented to stay buried here in Australia.
00:53:28So I'm about to leave for London.
00:53:31When the pedra reruns are over.
00:53:34London?
00:53:34Then we will be able to see each other often.
00:53:37Tain, I've been taking care of you all my life.
00:53:40You don't think you can get by without me, little brother?
00:53:43I adore you, Jesse.
00:54:04I couldn't sleep either, you know?
00:54:09When does your plane leave Sydney?
00:54:11Not before tomorrow evening.
00:54:18Can you drive me to the airport with Uncle Jack and see me off?
00:54:23It's cold in here, you'd catch a cold.
00:54:29Oh my.
00:54:30Hello, come on.
00:54:38I've always liked your bed.
00:54:40You have your own perfume, you know?
00:54:44Remember Mom when I used to come here on winter mornings?
00:54:48Yes, after a while.
00:54:50He was peeking out from the door.
00:54:52With one foot in and one foot out.
00:54:57I wonder if you ever understood how much she needed you.
00:55:03You've always been so different from each other.
00:55:09I thought she didn't need me.
00:55:12He had some.
00:55:13And he has some.
00:55:16Mom loves you, just as much as I do.
00:55:20Well, I'm glad you're staying close.
00:55:24Yes, we already have a good plan in place.
00:55:28Every year, when they give me holidays in the seminary,
00:55:30we will go around together to visit other countries.
00:55:33And then we'll go home for Christmas.
00:55:36So it's not like I'm going away forever, right?
00:55:39No.
00:55:42Oh Dane.
00:55:45There are so many things I would like to tell you.
00:55:51Son, you have filled my life with joy.
00:55:55And you gave me the happiness that others denied me.
00:56:06It pains me to leave you.
00:56:11If only you could understand...
00:56:14But I understand you.
00:56:16And that's what I wanted to tell you most of all, Rain.
00:56:19I can't share your love for God,
00:56:22but I understand your need to dedicate your life to Him.
00:56:25Because each of us has something inside us that you can't,
00:56:29he must not deny.
00:56:31Something he is hopelessly drawn to,
00:56:34even if it makes him suffer to the point of death.
00:56:38You are the most adorable of mothers.
00:56:55Have a good trip, Dane!
00:57:00Have a good trip, Dane!
00:57:03Have a good trip, Dane!
00:57:16Have a good trip, Dane!
00:57:46Have a good trip, Dane!
00:58:02Your coffee, miss.
00:58:04Thank you.
00:58:10Madam, the station wagon.
00:58:12A nice little fennel squirt?
00:58:13Certain.
00:58:14Listen, wife, how are you?
00:58:15All right, the cure was the antesca.
00:58:18Now let's go.
00:58:21What does your husband do?
00:58:23You know, always the same things.
00:58:25Good morning, miss.
00:58:26I'm looking for an English lady.
00:58:28Ah, down there.
00:58:30Thank you.
00:58:39Good morning, miss.
00:58:41I'm Rainer Hartheim.
00:58:43Welcome to Rome.
00:58:45Well, you have fantastic technique, Mr. Hartman, but I don't think I'll need a tour guide, thanks.
00:58:50Please.
00:58:51Aren't you Miss O'Neill, Dane's sister?
00:58:55Yes.
00:58:56Dane is not feeling well.
00:58:58We were supposed to meet at the station.
00:59:00That he also had to leave her a message here saying that I would come and pick her up.
00:59:05To go?
00:59:06At tea, with Cardinal de Bricassar.
00:59:11Do you want to come?
00:59:14Eh, why not?
00:59:16She seems like a trustworthy type.
00:59:18Oh, really?
00:59:19I confess that it annoys me a lot.
00:59:25Please.
00:59:35I have to admit, she doesn't look like Dane at all.
00:59:38Yes, everyone tells me that.
00:59:40Listen, Mr. Hartman, I...
00:59:41Hartheim.
00:59:43Rainer Merling Hartheim.
00:59:47Only?
00:59:49Impressive.
00:59:49Oh yes, that's right, I chose it.
00:59:54But excuse me, who are you exactly?
00:59:57Just an old friend of Cardinal de Bricassar.
01:00:00I understand.
01:00:02And do all the cardinal's friends have those little flags on their cars?
01:00:07I am also a member of the German Parliament.
01:00:11I always come to visit the cardinal whenever I stop here in Rome.
01:00:16He is an exceptional man.
01:00:20Well, it's a matter of taste, I guess.
01:00:23She's not as sweet as her brother, is she?
01:00:26No, I'm the jester of the house.
01:00:28Please.
01:00:31Excuse me.
01:00:34It's always been very difficult for me to live up to Dane.
01:00:38He was the Christ on earth in our home.
01:00:42It seems yours is a case of sibling rivalry.
01:00:45No, not at all.
01:00:47It's strange, isn't it?
01:00:49In theory I should be mad at Dane.
01:00:52And yet I've always adored him.
01:00:56Look, it's part of your job.
01:00:59What?
01:01:00Trying to intrude into the private lives of strangers.
01:01:03I do it whenever I can.
01:01:05But I don't know if I'll be able to do it with her.
01:01:08Ah, we're here.
01:01:17Damn.
01:01:19I've always wanted to act in the Vatican.
01:01:23The latest reports from observers at the United Nations are not encouraging.
01:01:28Eminence.
01:01:30You here, Justin, do you surprise me?
01:01:33I surrender to Caesar, Your Eminence.
01:01:35And then I decided not to embarrass Dane.
01:01:38I don't think you could do it.
01:01:40Come, I want to introduce you to Cardinal Contini Verchese.
01:01:42All right sweetie.
01:01:43I have to meet the full team.
01:01:57Miss O'Neill.
01:02:00Dane told me that she is an actress.
01:02:04In London, yes.
01:02:06Ah, that must be interesting.
01:02:09And what part are you playing now?
01:02:13I have a contract for Joan of Arc in January.
01:02:18Ah, I see.
01:02:20Well.
01:02:21There is no doubt that she will be a magnificent Joan of Arc.
01:02:25After this visit I really believe it.
01:02:29I have the impression that you don't like our little world very much, my dear.
01:02:35Oh, I guess it should be the other way around.
01:02:38I mean, it's not often that you get an audience like this.
01:02:45Unfortunately, males, I would say.
01:02:47In short, with the exception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, women are relegated to the last places, all embarrassed.
01:02:53But you, dear, forget that we call that very balcony Paradise.
01:03:03Paradise.
01:03:09Your Eminence, thank you for everything.
01:03:11I will come back to visit her as soon as I can.
01:03:13Thank you, Your Eminence.
01:03:15Come on, let's go.
01:03:17So you can't wait to go on vacation.
01:03:19Cardinal, it was a truly fascinating afternoon.
01:03:28You Cleary women have been opposing God and the church all your lives.
01:03:34It's our destiny, perhaps.
01:03:37Or maybe it's hereditary.
01:03:39Some kind of nasty disease.
01:03:41And there's the small, not insignificant detail that you descend from Mary Carson and your mother.
01:03:46But maybe Mom doesn't care much about that.
01:03:50Luckily, we Cleary women have Dane praying for our redemption.
01:03:54You have a very motherly attitude towards Dane.
01:03:57And you seem rather worried that he has chosen to live here among us with his face in red.
01:04:04Even I couldn't have been so caustic.
01:04:08Well, it's certainly worldly company for a boy whose only ambition is to offer his soul to
01:04:13God.
01:04:15You choose, dear.
01:04:17For your age you are very cynical and very wise.
01:04:24I leave you in Rainer's hands.
01:04:26But you, Cardinal, amaze me.
01:04:36A nice plate of pasta, a good glass of wine and an exquisite lunch.
01:04:43Here.
01:04:48When he mentioned going to dinner I had this crazy idea that he would take me to a restaurant.
01:04:53An understandable mistake on his part.
01:04:56Thank you, Giovanni.
01:05:01I thought she lived in Germany.
01:05:03Oh, yes, but I come to Rome like this very often.
01:05:07I took this apartment.
01:05:09I have another one in London too, if you're interested.
01:05:12I obviously feel the need to make a home for myself wherever I go.
01:05:17Maybe because I was orphaned as a child.
01:05:20For an orphan, he's not doing too badly, though.
01:05:23And then if he loves his home so much, why doesn't he get married?
01:05:27I did it once, but for the worst of reasons.
01:05:32I'm sure I'll never get married, for any reason in the world.
01:05:35No, and why?
01:05:38Well, first of all for my job.
01:05:40Oh, come on. Are you trying to make me believe an actress can't get married?
01:05:43No, some do, of course.
01:05:46But when we have given everything to the audience, what is left to give to the family?
01:05:50Try to imagine.
01:05:52On the scene I can commit suicide, a murder.
01:05:55I can go crazy.
01:05:57Sacrifice myself for eternal love.
01:05:59To save or ruin a man.
01:06:03Well, in the face of such catastrophes, marriage certainly looks rather bland.
01:06:07She seems to have forgotten that there is an essential reason for getting married.
01:06:13Being in love.
01:06:15Oh, that one.
01:06:17What would it be like?
01:06:18What's more beautiful?
01:06:20Anything, I guess.
01:06:23The truth is, if you love someone, you're done.
01:06:26If you need someone, you're done.
01:06:29So I never want to need anyone.
01:06:33It's very sad.
01:06:34Having someone to love is what I desire most.
01:06:38Then let's hope you find it.
01:06:41But she's always so sure of everything.
01:06:44Why not wait?
01:06:46Give life a chance, and see what it can bring.
01:06:49You can't bring us anything, I assure you.
01:06:55And what do you think of friendship, at least that? Is it allowed?
01:06:59Only if he feeds me.
01:07:01I'm starving.
01:07:02Ah.
01:07:04Then you better start helping out too.
01:07:15And so, my dear Ralso,
01:07:19I met Rosa's children.
01:07:26I really like that Justine.
01:07:32She is beautiful and intelligent.
01:07:36I wonder what kind of pains he might have
01:07:38to force her to behave in this way
01:07:41to hide them from the eyes of us, poor sinners.
01:07:47It's really sad.
01:07:50Sure, it's easier to love Dane.
01:07:53She has a special affection for Dane.
01:07:59It is not true?
01:08:03Sometimes when I look at it
01:08:07it's a bit like seeing myself again
01:08:09at his age.
01:08:24I'd better take him to bed.
01:08:34My beautiful bed
01:08:36and which I will end up dying
01:08:38one of the next few days.
01:08:42And it's not even
01:08:43a pope's bed.
01:08:45Ralf,
01:08:48but maybe she still has time
01:08:50to become it.
01:08:53Ah, Vittorio.
01:09:00Thank you.
