Part 6

UK: Thu, April 09, 2015
Written by Jimmy McGovern
Directed by Jeffrey Walker

When the truth of Private Buckley's accusations about Elizabeth Barrett sink in, Tommy Barrett sees red. The soldier runs for his life but he is not quick enough, and Tommy batters him to within an inch of his life.

Despite James Freeman and Elizabeth's attempts to stop him, Tommy does a thorough job. For a convict to assault a soldier is a capital offence, and this time Major Ross feels there can be no exceptions or reprieves — Tommy Barrett must be made an example of and hang. For once Governor Phillip agrees with his nemesis and Tommy is unceremoniously frog-marched through the camp to prison.

Meanwhile, the young love between Katherine McVitie and Private MacDonald is beginning to curdle. Are Major Ross' underhand tactics winning her over?
