[wind whistling]

[generator loudly running]

[electricity faintly buzzing]

[fan whirring]

-[reporter] Temperatures
around the city are said to break records again today...

[phone ringing]

-Hello?
-[Eadie] Hey, it's me.

Are you home?

I'm out in the middle of it.

-[Eadie] Can you get home?

-[Lloyd] Why?

[baby crying]

-[Eadie] That's
an interesting question.

-[Lloyd] It's a simple question.

-[Eadie] Not so simple
to answer. I've,um...

I've got myself into
a bit of a situation.

-[Lloyd] Oh, well, that's
not like you, Eadie.

-[Eadie] No, not like me.

-[Eadie] But this one thing's
happened so fast and...

-[Eadie] There are a bunch
of people involved.

-[Eadie] I just...

I just, I...

I need you on my team, baby.

Lloyd, are you still there?

-[Eadie] Lloyd?

I know it was Shay
that helped you.

-[woman] Eadie, we've got
to ditch the phones.

Nothing to say, Eadie?

[beep]

[car dinging]

[generator rattling]

[generator dying]

[silence]

[snap]

[serene orchestral music]

[distant siren]

-[Ivy] Just put it all
down here. This is where
you guys are going to sleep.

Did you get onto Abel?

He didn't pick up.

-'Cause he didn't
recognise the number.
-Yeah, or he's been arrested.

[loud knocking]

Um... Just go, go.

[loud knocking]

Go.

[baby cries]
[Rima] Shh...

[whispered conversation]

[loud knocking]
-[man] Lloyd!

[baby cries]

Quick, come in, come in.

Hey. Is he here?

[exhales deeply]

-[Eadie] I don't understand.

Why would you give
them your work?

She had me in a corner.

Either I gave her what
she wanted or she burned
your marriage and...

...bombed my relationship
with Lloyd to the ground.

Which has...

...pretty much happened anyway.

I was trying to protect you.

How did she know?
We were so careful.

She data mined me.

She had all our texts,
our Uber rides.

Our meeting down
at the harbour, my trip down
to the resettlement centre.

Why would she do that?

She was looking

for my weak spot.

She found you.

I'm sorry.

[dog barks]

I'm sorry I asked you.

I'm sorry I said yes.

That poor kid.
He had the jab for nothing.

Will you let Lloyd know
that I came by?

Yeah.

[beep]

-[Carl] Hey, Dom.
How's the water?

Yeah, it's alright.

I got your message about
the evacuation
at the old people's home.

Yeah.

Yeah, state services
just can't manage it
in the time needed

and we've get those old folks
out of there ASAP.

OK. Well, yeah. I'm going
in with a team first thing
in the morning.

-[Dom] So, I'll sign off
on it personally.

I appreciate you really just
jumping in at such short notice.

-[Dom] No worries.

Actually, did you...

Did you ever buy those
Lindriquil shares?

Yeah, but I reckon I've
probably lost my money there.
Right?

Ah... I dunno. You could hang
onto them a bit longer.

I pitched that idea I
had about a second life
for the project to the party

and that they had
a very favourable response.

Really?

I can't see a world where
those fertility results
don't sink the whole thing.

-[Carl] Careful messaging.

Lean into the positives.

-[Carl] Look out.
Here's trouble.

Hello, darling.
Good night, mate.

-[Carl] How are you?
-[woman] Good.

[kiss]

[basketball bouncing loudly]

[ticking]

-[Archie] This is bullshit.

Your clock is bullshit.

Face it, Archie.
We're the new dinosaurs.

One day, some alien
life form will come down
to what's left of Earth,

reassemble your bones

and put them in a museum.

You idiot!

-[Sage] Mum, Archie and Cosmo
are fighting again!

-[Francesca] Boys!
-[Archie] You're so stupid!

[Cosmo] He broke my clock!

You're a freak!
A total freak! I hate you!

[Francesca] Boys! Archie!

[Francesca] Oh, god.

What's this?

[Francesca] Cosmo has designed
and built

his very own doomsday clock.

These are all the things

that humans have done

that will lead
to our destruction.

Barrier Reef trashed,
Ross Ice Sheet gone.

Is it for school?

[Francesca] No.

Self-starter.

Jesus.

Hey, buddy. You OK?

Just try and calm down.

Breathe in through the nose,
out through the mouth.

That's it. In, out.

Nice and slow. In through
the nose, out through the mouth.

[exhales]
There you go. In...

Out...
[exhales deeply]

There you go. Sit down.

That's it. That's it.

OK?

Better?

Good man.

Now, listen. I know all this...

end of the universe stuff
is hard to ignore but...

You've got to try not to focus
on it so much,

otherwise it's just going
to end up making you depressed.

[whispered] I'm not depressed.

-What?
-I'm not depressed.

What makes you think
I'm depressed?

Well, you know, the clock.

Some people might find that
a bit... alarming.

Yeah. If you're Archie and you
want to live for 100 years.

There's nothing wrong
with Archie wanting to live
for 100 years, is there?

It's not right.

Wanting something
you can't have.

That's what makes you depressed.

There's nothing to
worry about if you just
accepted things as they are.

Right. Well, I'm glad
you're not worried.

I do worry.

I worry about you.

Me? You don't need to worry
about me. I'm fine.

You know, I'm
back in the pool again,
I'm doing laps.

My health's settled down.

Hey. I'm fine.

If you just weren't running
around trying to fix everything.

What would happen
if you just stopped?

[beeping]

[drone buzzing]

[knock on door]
[door opens]

Night-night, Ive.
Thanks for all your help.

Heard from Dad yet?

I think he's working late.

[Lloyd on phone] Tricky
things, parasites,
poppet.

Hardest diseases to solve.

Because the parasite changes
its structural shape so much.

[Lloyd] More than 20
times, this one, in the course of the infection period,

so what we really need is a vax

that can fight against
all those shifting shapes.

The thing that I'm still
trying to crack

is how come the kissing bug...

...is immune to all of them
'cause it doesn't die of Chagas.

[Lloyd] And if I can figure out
what that thing is then...

...well, maybe I can create
a cure for humans.

Not that we have

that much in common
with the kissing bug--

Dad.

[Lloyd] Yes, poppet.

Come home.

[Ivy] Please.

[Israel] Appreciate you
letting us be here.

[Lloyd] Oh, that's the least
we can do. It's all good.

[Israel] Thank you.

[Rima] Come. Come to bed.

[indistinct conversation]

[crickets chirping]

[door opens]

[tender music]

[door opens]

[Lloyd] Pretty full
house downstairs.

Yep.

That's what I was
calling you about.

Had to make
a spur of the moment decision.

You OK with it?

Yeah.

I guess I have to be though.

[Abel] Border Authority
don't know how you got away.

I managed to delete the CCTV.

They suspect I'm involved.
It's safe to say,
we don't have much time.

I've reached out to some
church folk who'll provide
sanctuary

for people in your situation.

Just call this number,
mention my name,

they might be able to help you.

[Rima] Come they help us
get out of the country?

-What are you talking
about, Rima?

-New Zealand is
still taking refugees.

[Israel] I have a job here. OK?

We have to go back
through the proper channels.

We've done proper channels.

Look where it got us.

What about your brother?

-Dom?
-[Israel] He's friends
with the minister.

[Abel] As of yesterday,
we've all crossed the line.

Right now, we can't trust anyone
outside of this table.

-[Eadie] You OK?
-[Rima] Yeah, I'm OK.

-[Rima] It's alright.
-[Eadie] Sorry, just give
me a minute.

Hey.

Look, this...

This isn't Shay's fault.

I dragged him into it because...

Because?

Because you gave up.

And I couldn't.

And...

I knew I couldn't get you
to agree to the risk,

so I guess, a part
of me gave up on you.

But that was my fault,
not Shay's

and if I could go back
and do it over,

I would've just been
brave enough to have
the conversation with you

and face the fact
that you might've said no

and that I might have to say
I was going ahead without you.

I regret that, Lloyd,
and I am so sorry.

But I can't regret this.

[bittersweet music]

What?

I think I just felt them.

Still haven't said hello.

[Lloyd] Hello.

[Lloyd] Plural.

They say, "What else
you got, Dad?"

[Lloyd] I can't do this right
now, Eadie.

I can't.

[gate opens and closes]

[female reporter] Activation
of this city's heatwave plan

kicked off this morning...

[male reporter] Exclusive
residences will throw open

their doors to the public
as the mayor...

[female reporter]
...five-star
luxury

as the city's wealthy are forced to sharea seat...

[male reporter] ...going ahead today. Look out for the red heat refuge tickets

and help yourself to a dose
ofair-conditioning

[man] Welcome to Stonehewen!

Please confine yourselves
within the foyer area!

The upper floors are
not accessible to members
of the public!

Residents and
signed-in visitors only.

[Carl] Got your work cut out
for you today, Israel.

Opening the doors to the public,
Mr. Anderson.

It's very civic minded
of the body corporate.

We didn't actually have
a choice. It's state
bloody policy.

Yeah, whose stupid
idea was that?

Stay hydrated, gentlemen.

Carl.

These people, they can't just go
anywhere, right?

The foyer and the
internal vestibule
are public access only

and the rest is off-limits.

Don't worry, sir. I'll make sure
they stay off the grass.

Sir.

I wanted to have
a word with you.

My family's residency
application fell through.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Even though we had
all of the required points,

they still rejected
our application.

That's shit news, mate.

I wish there was
something I could do.

Well, actually,
Mr. Boulay, there is.

Domestic Affairs
has Mr. Anderson's portfolio.

It's not my place to ask

but you and him are friends.

Yeah, it doesn't really
work like that.

My son, Leroy, even
took part in this trial
for this new Chagas vaccine,

even though the side-effects
for this drug means that
he may never have children.

But just to get an edge
on his permit points.

Look, if the right
moment comes up...

No, I'm going to need more
than that, sir.

Look, thanks to your sister,

we're not in as much trouble
as we could be.

OK, we have a reprieve.

But unless someone higher up
takes interest

then things are going
to be bad for us

and if they're
bad for us, then they're
bad for Ms Boulay also.

[baby crying]

I think he's running a temp.

It's hard to tell
'cause it's so hot.

Is he drinking enough water?

Not enough.

Not his usual self.
Hasn't bitten me once.

Could you just grab some water
and a sponge?

Keep his fluids up,
keep him cool.

I'm sure he'll be fine.

OK.

[baby chatters]

Hey.

[drone whirring]

[generator starts]

[general chatter]

[Eadie] Hey, there. Sorry I can't take your call right now.

Please leave a message.

Hey, sis.

Still trying to get
in touch with you.

You know why. Call me back.

[generator humming]

God almighty.

Hello?

Shit.

Hello?

Jesus.

Hello? Can I get some help
in here, please?

Some water!

You must be thirsty.

Um, Janice, is it?

I'm Dom.

We're moving everybody
out of here.

We're going to take you
to a new facility.

Just leave me.

I can't leave you.
There's not going

to be anyone here
to look after you.

Please.

Any decent person would...

...just leave me be.

Girls, come here.

I need you to have some water,
please.

Thanks.

You've got to stay hydrated.

Good girl. There you go.

All that liquid going in,

not much coming out.

I haven't seen them
go to the bathroom all day.

It's OK. They go in the pool.
We all do.

Hey, Cos.

-Yeah.
-Do you like it here?

Of course.

It's got everything you
could ever want.

Whoo-hoo!

[Archie] Hey! Hey!

Only Stonehewen residents
are allowed in here.

-You need to leave.
-Archie, leave it.

-I said, get out!
-Archie, back off!

I don't care!
They don't even live here!

[woman] Jessie!
What did I tell you

about wandering off? Come out.

Come out! I'm so sorry
if they're bothering you.

No, really. It's fine.
Honestly. In fact, why don't
you just stay and have a dip?

Oh, thank you. No, but we can't.

No, really.

You'd be doing me a favour
if you did. Oh, Israel.

Um... It's fine.
What's your name?

-Kirsty.
-Kirsty and her children

are my guests.

OK.

[Kirsty] Thank you so much.

[Francesca] You're welcome.

[insects buzzing]

[bangs on glass]
Oi!

What do you think you're doing?

Lloyd, I'm sorry we didn't
get to talk before these
gentlemen turned up.

What is going on here?

NIS will no longer
provide funding
for your Chagas research.

You... You're cutting
my funding?

I'm sorry, Lloyd.
I know how committed you are.

You can't do this, Herm.
You can't.

I'm making real progress here.

The board's made its decision.
It's out of my hands.

We'll need you to
clear out your lab and
insectaries by week's end.

OK, good. Then this is
still mine until then.

Thanks, Herman.

[Shay] They brought Marco
into it.

Sorry, what?

Marco. My... The...

The kid I had with Elena.

[Eadie] Oh, yeah, sorry.

It's just it's, um,
it's been a while.

Eight years, if you're counting.

But my point is they tried
to get at me with
Marco first.

Ah...

Who... Who tried?

[Shay] Lindriquil.

I'm not following.

OK. I've done enough dodgy shit

in my time that if they wanted
to blackmail me,

they could go with some
or all of it. But they didn't.
They...

They went personal instead
of criminal.

They are zeroed in on Marco
and when...

I didn't bite,
they went with you.

[baby crying]
[siren]

[Shay] But the more I think
about it, it doesn't
make any sense.

It's too targeted.
Did you say anything to anyone

about what you and I were up to?

Eadie, did anyone else know?

[siren]

Ah, no.

[Eadie] No one. Just Dom.
[hangs up]

-Jesus.
-We need to talk!

-Get out of the way, Shay.
-I'm not going anywhere, Lloyd,

until you listen to what I
have to say. Carl Anderson,
Karima Kahn, Herman.

Listen to me. The Minister
of Domestic Affairs

-in bed with Lindriquil--
-Move.

Herman playing Cupid.

They were sitting on
each other's laps through
the whole presentation.

We missed the whole thing.
Jesus Christ, Lloyd.

Will you get over your hurt?
Five seconds.

Listen to what I have--

OK. Lloyd, if you want
to hit me, hit me.

You went behind my back
with my wife.

I made a choice to help her.

Your choice could've killed her.

But I get why you did it.

That would've felt
pretty good to give her
something that I wouldn't.

'Cause I know how you feel
about her, Shay, I know.

But Jesus, then you sell me out
to Lindriquil,

so what are you trying
to do? You trying to sink
my whole boat?

I only sold them something
you put in the bin

to try and protect her

and whether you believe it or
not, Lloyd, I was trying
to protect you too.

Karima knew I tried
to help Eadie.

Do you know the
only other person that knew
I tried to help her? Dom.

Dom lives in Stonehewen, yeah?

Guess where Carl Anderson lives.

Where are you going
with this, Shay?

Have you got
Leroy's test results?

Yeah. Yeah, they
came back positive.

OK.

Well, you need the other 499

because I don't trust Lindriquil
to not roll out regardless.

Right. Good luck getting
those results.

Maybe you could say
please really sweetly and
Karima will give them to you.

[tyres screeching]

Barney!

Barney!

Barney!

No. No.

You don't even know
what I'm going to ask you.

I don't want to know.

It's just a little
data mining job.

-It's illegal. It's illegal.
-Mate, mate.

Excuse me, sir.

If he could stay within
the foyer area, please.

There's seats on the other
side as well. [phone ringing]

Rima, what is it?

[Rima] They want money.

What? What for? I thought
they were a charity
organisation.

[Rima] False documentation,

safe passage out of the country.

[Israel] How much?

10,000. Each.

What are we going to do?

Israel? Can you have someone
check on my car?

-Your... Your car, ma'am?
-I want to make sure it's safe.

There's people everywhere
and I left the top down.

Rima, can I call you back?

Where am I going to get $50,000
in cash?

We'll work something out.

Steal it if we have to.

[distant sirens]

[Dom] OK, Janice,

favourite decade.

Must've been the
swinging '60s, right?

Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger.

Woodstock.

Too much bad sex.

Husband number one.

Couldn't get no
satisfaction, eh? [laughs]

Husband number two.

Really?

I hope you satisfy

your wife.

Yeah, I hope so too.

You're a good man.

[phone ringing]

Dominic Boulay speaking.

[Eadie] It's me.

Eadie, where the hell
have you been?

I been trying to get in touch
with you all day.

What is this? A new number
or something?

Bit of a story there.

Look, you know you offered me
the money for IVF.

I just, I wondered
if you'd still be open...

[baby crying]
...to loaning me a
similar amount.

[Eadie] I need 50,000, Dom.

For a very good cause.

This wouldn't have
anything to do

with my concierge and
his family, would it?

[baby crying]

[Dom] Whatever it is you're up
to, Eadie, stop it.

They don't deserve the hand
they've been dealt.

[Eadie] It's 50 grand, Dom.

You burn that kind of money
on a holiday.

Do you want to go to jail?

[baby crying]

[Dom] Ead?

[exhales]

Well, Janice, I'm afraid
I've completely failed you
on the tea front.

Janice?

[Kirsty] Yeah, I went there
on my gap year.

No way. Me too
and then to Greece.

-Then to Greece.
-[laughs]

Then I hitched to Spain,
slept under boats on the beach,

ate baguettes and sardines
for dinner for a whole month.

Then onto

Majorca...

...and I met Dom.

[Francesca] Are we actually
going to burst into flames?

[Kirsty] Maybe.
[phone ringing]

[phone ringing]

Hey?

[Francesca] Dom?

I'm having a bit of a crap day.

[Archie] Get out! Come on!

Get out!

[Francesca] Archie!

[Archie] You guys
don't live here.
You have to leave.

God, he's a mini you.

I miss you.

Dom, are you alright?

[Archie] Yeah, the heat refuge

is about to end,
so you should probably leave.

-[Kirsty] Oh, OK. Guys.
-[Francesca] Hey...

[child] But I don't want
to get out.

I've got to go. I'll call
you back.

-[Francesca] What's going on?
-[Kirsty] We should probably go.

-[Francesca] No, don't go.
-[Kirsty] No, no. We should.

But thank you so much
for having us.

Maybe you can come back
tomorrow, hang out.

Yeah, I'll see how I go.

[Francesca] What did you say?

Nothing.

Just the heat refuge is
ending soon. I told them
that they should leave.

[Archie] What? That's what
Dad would say.

[tense music]

It's funny. The more digging

you do in to someone,
the less you feel like you
know them.

Like the picture
gets all blurry.

Did you find that when
you data mined me?

Those pesky contradictions?

This is your to touche
Shay moment, is it?

Nice.

Your father died
of Chagas disease

and you used that to get a deal
across the line.

How does that sit with you?

Young woman who joined
International Aid at 18

to try and save the world.

What, you lose focus

somewhere along the way?

You're giving me a lesson
on morality?

You chose the money.

Go and...

Go and enjoy your retirement,
Shay.

I did a test on the kid

from the resettlement centre.
He's positive.

He's sterile.

Because of you and I.

I'm going to take that
to my grave.

What about you?

I want the file

with the other 499 testees.

I have a meeting to get to.

Goodbye, Shay.

[Dom] You should have told
me last night that
the situation was that dire.

Maybe I could've done something.

Four people are dead
all because a bloody generator
ran out of fuel.

Where is the
communication from aged
services, from you guys?

[Carl] You look hot.

Michelle? Could you...

Yeah, could you get Dom
a very cold iced water, please.

Unfortunately, this sort
of thing happens more than
you'd like to think.

Infrastructure's
just falling apart all over
the place.

You look like you've got the
weight of the world on
your shoulders.

-I need a favour.
-Mm-hm?

Israel Latu, there's been
some sort of cock-up

with his wife's city residential
application.

I had the Latus' file splashed
across my desk this morning

but there's been
cock-up. They just didn't
get enough points.

There's other people
in the queue who did.

Yeah, but, you know,
a flick of your pen could
sort that out.

What's your stake in all this?

He's been very loyal to us.

There's plenty of Israels
out there who are willing to
fill his shoes.

All I'm asking is that you look
at his file again

with a more favourable eye.

You know you only get
one dip into the
ministry favour bank, yeah?

I think you've cashed
in your chips.

What?

I'm not sure I understand.

[Carl] Come on, mate.

Why do you think I called you
in here?

We know what
your sister's been up to.

The only reason my guys
haven't gone in there
to pick them up

is out of my loyalty to you.

[exhales]

[Carl] Look.

We retrieved this
from the resettlement centre.

[Carl] When border authority

go in, if your sister's at home,

she's going to be arrested
and charged.

OK.

Thanks for the heads up.

I understand it's family.
You'd do anything for them.

But you need to tell me
you can sort this out.

Just give me a...

Let me get Eadie out
of the house

and then can go in
and pick them up.

OK. I can work with that.
You've got two hours.

Drink that.

[knocking]

It's Abel.

[Eadie] Shouldn't you be
at work?

Funny thing happened on the way
to the office.

Technically, I'm suspended
pending further investigation.

Oh, Abel. I'm so sorry
for dragging you into this.

[baby crying]

Dragging me?

I handed you the key
and the pass, remember?

But you might've given me
a kick up the bum at some stage

about the remit,

so maybe you get partial credit
for my unemployment status.

[baby crying]
[Rima] Eadie!

He just vomited.

OK, right. He really needs to go
to hospital.

Is that an option?

Not without declaring
your residency status
on admission.

Border Authority will be over
you guys in the second.

He's steady now, yeah?

[baby crying]

His temperature
really needs to come down.

If we need to go,
I'll make that call.

[baby crying]

[Rima] Shh...

[phone ringing]

[phone ringing]
[baby crying]

[Rima] Shh, baby.

Shh, it's OK.

[phone calling]

[phone ringing]

Hey.

Oh, hey. I didn't know
if you'd pick up.

[baby crying]

Baby Sifa. I've done
everything I can.

[Eadie] But he needs
to go to hospital.

I know.

But then they'll deport him

and I just... I
don't know what the right
thing to do is anymore

and I'm scared.

[Eadie] Lloyd,
I'm just really scared.

[distant siren]

Baby, it's OK, it's OK.

What you need me to do?

I... I need you.
I just need you, Lloyd.

I'm coming. OK? You
just hold tight. I'm coming.

Eadie?

[Lloyd] I'm coming home.
Alright?

Thank you.
[distant sirens]

[baby crying]

Come on, Eadie. Come on, Eadie.
Pick up for god's sake.

[Israel] Mr. Boulay?

Yeah, not now, Israel.

[Israel] I'm just wondering
whether or not you'd spoken
to the minister.

Wheels in motion.

Wheels in...

[Israel] So, you have spoken
to him?

Mr. Boulay?

Mr. Boulay? You OK?

Mr. Boulay?

Dom, can you hear me?

Can I get you anything?

Come on, let's get you up.

[Israel] Dom.

Your family...

We don't have much time.

Come on.

Come on!

-[Carl] How good
are the oysters?
-[Karima] Thank you.

[Dom] They're fantastic.
You've got to try them
with the... the sauce.

[Dom] Are you going to have
any of these?
[Carl] No, no, no.

-[Dom] No?
-[Carl] No, I don't want
the sauce.

-[Dom] You've got to have one.

-[Karima] Eugh.
-[Dom] Why not?

[Dom] You've not
got an appetite?

[Karima] You might lose
yours, too,

when you hear what I have
to tell you.

The results are
in from the vax test.

[Dom] Go on then,
hit me with it.

[Eadie] What are you doing here?

You've got to move.

-[Eadie] What?
-You've got to move.

[phone ringing]

[Shay] Lloyd, don't hang up.

Just... Where are you?

I've been out with the traps.
I'm heading home.

[Shay] 75% of the poor bastards

who put their hands up
for the trial vax are now...

...sterile.

What?

[Shay] I got access
to their numbers.

-How did
you manage to get access--
-[Shay] I said please

really sweetly.

And there's a file,

a recorded lunch meeting.

Karima must've had it
up her sleeve.

Some sort of self-protection.

[Lloyd] And who was
at this meeting?

[Shay] Karima,

the minister and...

...your brother-in-law.

Come on.

[Shay] It's three out of
every four and they're
still going to roll it out.

[baby cries]
[Lloyd] And how do you know?

[Shay] Because Lindriquil's
share price is going
gangbusters

and that can only mean
one thing.[door closes]

[Lloyd] And you are certain
about Dom's involvement?

He's in it up to his neck.

[car horn]

[screeching tyres]

[car horn]

[screeching tyres]

Lloyd?

Lloyd?

Lloyd?

[tense music]

[siren]

[Dom] Come on. Get in.
Quick as you can.

[police officer] Where
are the Latus, Abel?

Step out of the way.

You need to move off
the road now.
