Ellie, OK, look.

I made a mistake, but-- [laughs]

Please, a mistake?

Are you kidding me?

Yeah, she's going crazy.

My dad is crazy.

What does that say about me?

Who's your dad?

Kirk, from the junkyard.

Look, I-- I--

I've been up all night worrying about this.

And I've just--

I've just got to tell her I'm her father.

Yeah, that's a bloody good idea.

We tell her that--

I don't know, that we--

that we're both her father.

I'm not her father, mate.

What is it?

Medicine.

Yes, Yes, Yes!

My plant-- the one I found in the desert--

I sent it to Perth for tests.

And it's full of a phytonutrientcalled sulforaphane.

Well, they think it is.

They need more samples.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no!

PRESENTER [ON RADIO]: Bob and Myrtle

Granger have been teaching territorians

to drive for 25 years.

So call Bob and Myrtle on 70 1 0 4 6 9 8, and let them--

TOBY DELANEY: Driving school,that might be something

you want to put on your to-do list,

then you wouldn't have to alwaysscab lifts off your mates.

PRESENTER [ON RADIO]:Now on the weather front,

the good people at the bureau are predicting

a bit of unusual weather,scattered thunderstorm

activity right across theentire southern territory.

TOBY DELANEY: Anyway, she's got a great bod,

huge personality, and a goer.

What?

Ingrid, Helga, whatever hername was, the Swedish chick

from last night.

I'm telling you.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry, sorry, sorry.

I was miles away.

It's a big desert.

Bloody big, and you're out there looking

for your tiny, little shrub.

I reckon you got Buckleys.

Not if I find the girl.

Yeah, well, you got water?

Yeah.

TOBY DELANEY: Food?

Yes, mum.

Sat phone?

Look, you can't go out inthe middle of the desert,

looking for your bloody shrub, weed, whatever,

without a sat phone.

I know, I know, I know.

Last time, I promise.

Better be.

Thanks.

[thunder]

If the hair on your armsor the back of your neck

stands on end, you hit the deck, OK?

Lightning, we get it out here sometimes

even if there isn't any rain.

It'll find the quickest path to earth.

If you're standing out therein that, it's going to be you.

You get on the balls of your feet,

and wrap your arms around your knees.

Why is that?

To minimize contact with the ground, or--

No, so you can kiss your skinny bum goodbye.

- See you, mate. - See ya.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Thanks for bringing me out.

[thunder]

[theme music]

[SINGING] Take me to thatopen, silent space where

the earth breathes your name.

Leave me underneath the starlight sky.

All our troubles fade away.

Hold me now as the golden sunlight

warms across your face.

La la la la.

KIRK: Jess, Jess, Jess, hey, birthday girl.

Hang on, hang on.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

Wow, it's--

The paper from the day you were born.

It is too.

Thank you.

Well, it wasn't a big news day.

But I guess nobody had rung the maternity ward

before it went to press.

Excuse me, driver.

How long is this going to take?

Two, secs, ma'am.

Thank you.

How's your mom?

Not so good.

You know, she has her gooddays and her bad days.

But the bad days are winning more and more.

Hey, buddy, I got a plane to catch.

Yes, I know.

WOMAN: Come on.

Next time you see her,tell her that I love her--

I will.

--and her indomitable spirit.

Scored any booty from Toby?

No.

KIRK: Mm, Darren?

Not yet, you are the first.

How about Jack?

Jack?

Jack Jaffers.

No.

I love you.

Shouldn't you get an electrician?

So he can rob me blind for a 10 minute job?

I don't think so.

In case you electrocute yourself.

Relax, the switch is turned off.

This wire is completely safe.

You know it's a two way switch.

Isn't that a--

Jack!

Oh god, Jack!

Is he breathing?

Check his pulse.

Clear his airway.

Start mouth to mouth.

I don't know how to do mouth to mouth.

Yes, you do.

Just put your mouth over his, and blow.

Pinch his nose shut.

- I can't. - Yes, you can.

Just do it.

Well, that has a bit of a kick to it.

Well, uh--

Oh, such an idiot.

I want to have a word with you.

I am going to tell her.

I'm just waiting for the right time, all right?

- It's her birthday. - When?

- Today.- Well, I didn't know that.

I know.

Tell her today.

What?

It's gone on long enough.

She's got a right to know.

Kirk, with all respects, mate.

This is none of your business.

Tell her you're her daddy, or I will.

You can't.

Grow some balls.

What was that about?

[theme music]

One kangaroo, two kangaroo, three--

[thunder]

That's close.

[thunder]

I was here almost 24 yearsago, for-- for the previous

solar eclipse.

And Jess's mom, Heaven,and I sort of hit it off.

Heaven, please.

You can just see it, can't you?

Cheese cloth for days.

You hit it off?

Yeah.

You got her pregnant and you left her?

No, well, yeah, but it wasn't like that.

I didn't find out she waspregnant until much later.

And she made it very clearit wasn't my responsibility.

That's convenient.

Oh, come on, we're all entitled to a past.

You don't know Jess's mum.

No, I don't.

So how's Jess dealing with the news?

Uh, I'm going to tell her today.

[scuffling]

Dougie.

Good day, doc.

What you doing way out here?

Huh?

Yeah, ah-huh, yeah, no, that sounds good.

Yeah, I look forward to it.

OK, I'll see you then, bye.

Oh, Jess.

How you going?

Yeah, good.

Happy birthday.

Thanks.

Who told you?

Yeah, I got my sources.

So, uh, 23, hey?

Yeah.

You don't look a day over 22.

And you don't look a day over--

Oh, don't go there.

There will be dragons.

Anyway.

Yeah, so are you having a party?

No, it's not a biggie.

I'll see ya.

Well, um, you know, if you're interested,

uh, we're having our firsthappy hour at the bar tonight.

It's fairly low key.

We don't want the place chockfull of blow ins, do we?

So maybe you and some of yourfriends want to come down,

you know.

It's something quite cas.

It's half price drinks.

OK, yeah, sounds good.

Good, well, we'll see you then.

See you then.

[phone rings]

Jack Jaffers.

Strike one.

He pinched me belt. Shouldhave used your bloody belt.

Why'd he pinch your belt?

Because I'm the mechanic.

Fix the car.

The fan belt broke.

You were fighting over your belt?

That's the tip of the iceberg, doc.

You can pick your friends.

You can't pick your family.

And you reckon this is medicine?

MATT MARIONE: Uh, yeah, that'swhat the little girl told me.

Hey, Dougie, doesn't, uh, little Cathy Carmody

wear a top like that?

Who?

Cathy Carmody?

Oh, little Cathy Carmody.

Yeah, she does wear a top like that.

MATT MARIONE: You-- you know her?

That's fantastic. Where does she live?

In Alice?

Nah, Cathy don't live in Alice, does she, Baz?

Nah, she lives out in one ofthem communities, uh, Digikala.

I have to get there.

Is there any chance you guys could take me?

It's a bit of a drive.

Maybe if you made it worth our while, doc.

I'll cover petrol.

Say 50 bucks?

That should just about cover it.

Oh, great, thank you.

I really, really appreciate this guys.

Thanks.

JACK JAFFERS: I'm going to tell her tonight when

she pops in for happy hour.

We don't have a happy hour.

- We do now. - Jack!

Helen, don't worry.

I was going to tell you all about it.

When?

Now.

You've been on me about publicity.

So I came up with this.

And if it doesn't work tonight,well, we can always can it.

OK, good.

Have you had any flyers printed up?

Well, I was going to, butwith the weather and everything.

Put an ad in the paper?

No.

HELEN GREGORY: On the radio?

I didn't think of that.

Jack, the whole point of having a--

does anyone else know about thishappy hour, apart from Jess?

Hel, I'm not a complete idiot.

I told all her friends.

And you can't beat word of mouth.

You're angry with me?

No, no, no, it's your bar.

Do you really think it's agood idea telling her tonight?

Yeah, why not?

HELEN GREGORY: Well, I'm just imagining

myself in her position.

I'm out with friends--

At happy hour.

--at happy hour.

And I'm feeling a little bit vulnerable

because it's my birthday.

And this guy, who I sortof know as an acquaintance,

comes up to me and tells me he's my father.

Why are you feeling vulnerable?

Because it's my birthday.

Yeah?

Men.

Well, you know, anotheryear older, another year--

PATRICK: Desperate and dateless.

Me, not you.

Helen, she's only 23.

Oh, yeah, yeah, you're right.

Jess is a different person to me,

much more spontaneous thanI'd ever be, ever could be.

[thunder]

No, you're right, you're right.

Yeah, so you think I should do it?

Yeah, it would be wonderful.

Yeah, it'll be great.

Thanks.

This should keep theweather out of your caravan.

HELEN GREGORY: Yeah, thanks.

Well, at least he's positive.

That's Jack for you, an eternal optimist.

Which is what we love about him.

Hey, how much longer to Digikala?

Depends.

On what?

How many times we have to stop.

Hey, what sort of car do you drive, man?

A doctor have to have a Merc or a Beamer, hey?

I like them Audis.

Yeah, they got brown eyebrows.

Nah, I don't drive.

You what?

I don't have a license.

So neither does Baz.

How much petrol you put in this yesterday?

10 bucks.

I gave you 20.

Well, I had to buy some smokes.

With my money.

So?

So I'm sick of you spendingmy money on smokes, right.

You do that again, and I'll smack you one.

You use your own money.

I told you before, I'm sick of them smokes.

You and your stupid smokes.

MATT MARIONE: Guys, guys, guys!

Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, stop it!

Guys, stop it!

Now we're going to make a little petrol detour,

aren't we?

You all right with that, man?

Sure.

[spluttering]

Told you, Barry.

Jess, this is going tocome as a huge shock to you.

It did to me when I realized the truth.

But having realized it--

What?

Having realized what, Jack?

That I'm your dad.

You can't be my dad.

That's impossible.

I fell in love withyour mother 24 years ago.

And you are a product of that love.

Look into my eyes, into my soul, and you'll know

that I'm telling you the truth.

Oh, my god, you're my dad.

Yeah.

Oh, my god, I tried topick you up the other day.

Don't worry, it happens all the time.

So what do you say?

Listen up, everybody, I'vejust had some amazing news.

Jack Jaffers is my biological father.

[gasps]

And he's a rock star.

[cheers]

You're the man, yeah!

Woo-hoo!

Woo-hoo!

Yeah!

[thunder]

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

Thank god.

[thunder]

Looks like that storm couldbe coming through here, hey.

Suppose we better get a move on.

50 bucks should just aboutget us to Digikala and back.

Thanks, mate.

Right.

Grab the front.

Yeah, come on.

Slowly now, slow.

You got it?

Yeah, got it.

Hello?

[thunder]

Hello?

Is anyone here?

[whimper]

Hello?

[scream]

It's OK, it's OK.

I'm a doctor.

No really, I really am a doctor.

How come I've never seen you before?

I'm new in the Alice.

My name's Matt.

My baby's not due for another two weeks.

We had it all planned.

OK, OK.

OPERATOR [ON PHONE]: Hello,flying doctor service.

How can I help you?

Yes, hello.

I have a pregnant patient,Cheryl Wilson, mid 30s,

uh, in advanced labor.

I request emergencymedevac to Alice Springs.

Where are you?

My GPS coordinates are south latitude,

22 degrees, 41 minutes, 13.

43690 seconds.

East longitude, 133 degrees,59 minutes, 11.9125--

It's the Wilsons's house on Delia Highway.

Copy that.

Who am I talking to?

Watts, Dougie Watts.

Who's this?

This is Dr. Matt Marione.

Um, can I get an ETA on that plane, please?

The nearest aircraft is stuck on the ground

in Arumbera due to this storm.

It's pretty intense up there.

Pretty intense here too.

Understand that, Matt, butI'm afraid you're on you're

own until this weather breaks.

How's your obstetrics training?

Three weeks in myresidency at Royal Adelaide.

OK, Matt, stabilize your patient.

And I'll get a midwife that cantalk you through the delivery.

I'll call you back on thisnumber as soon as I can, OK?

OK.

Plane coming in, doc?

No.

We could drive.

It would only take us three or four hours.

She wouldn't make it.

CHERYL WILSON: They on their way?

No, the weather is causing is just--

just a couple of problems.

Why didn't you call anyone?

Lightning took out the landline.

My hubby, Stu, is inAlice picking up supplies.

It's OK.

Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe.

What do you reckon Darren got her?

What?

For Jess's birthday.

No idea.

You know, he's a miner.

So he's got a bit of money.

But he's got no class.

Probably got her somethinglike a personalized

stubby holder or edible undies.

Yeah, probably.

Why won't she come?

Why would she be born?

[crying]

I think the baby's in a breech position.

A breech?

It means the heads not engaged.

She's lying around the wrong way.

Can't you do something?

The midwife is going to call.

But you said you were a doctor.

[phone rings]

JESS DAILY [VOICEMAIL]:Hi, this is Jess's phone.

Please leave me a message after the beep.

[beep]

MATT MARIONE: Jess, it's me.

It's Matt.

Listen, I'm delivering a baby out bush,

and there are complications.

I need help.

I want you to call me on Toby's sat phone

as soon as you get this message, OK, please.

[moaning]

OK, I'm just going to wash my hands.

Connie.

Hi.

Is Dr. Marione in today?

He's gone bush.

Oh.

Oh.

Mom, what are you doing here?

Oh, I'm just leaving.

You?

Ah, Jess, birthday present.

- Oh. - You OK?

You not sick?

No, no, I'm fine.

You hate going to the doctor's.

No, I don't.

Unlike some people, I justdon't make a big deal of it.

Honestly, I'm fine.

I'm just, um, having a--

a checkup.

And you're all right?

Yeah, wish Jess happy birthday for me.

Yeah, I will.

Um, hey, Mom, you know Dad's doing my head in.

Oh, Toby.

Can't ya-- you know?

What?

Hurry things up a bit.

Oh.

I mean, don't you thinkhe's been in the doghouse

long enough?

You mean at your place?

Ooh.

Look, if you're going to get back together--

Is that what he told you?

He said you said you justneeded a little bit more time.

That's right, isn't it?

I don't know.

Come on.

Oh, Toby, what do you want me to say?

You know, this is new for all of us.

We're making it up as we go along.

If your dad's driving you crazy,then you should tell him that,

or kick him out. - Right.

You know what?

This isn't my problem.

[phone rings]

[moaning]

Jess.

Matt, it's Sally from the RFDS.

The plane in Arumbera expects to be

airborne within the half hour.

Do you still need it?

Yes, yes, and what about a midwife?

I've got Barbara here for you.

Hi, Matt.

This is Barbara Gray.

OK, the baby's in breech.

BARBARA GRAY [ON PHONE] Are you sure?

I'm positive.

Can we wait for this plane?

Well, how frequent are the contractions?

MATT MARIONE [ON PHONE]: About every two minutes.

That's not going to be an option then.

Um, what facilities have you got?

Nothing, I have nothing.

BARBARA GRAY [ON PHONE] OK,well, you're going to have

to deliver the baby breech.

Now are you familiar with that?

Vaguely, I've seen a video.

OK, well, remember the goldenrule, hands off the breech.

Don't try to assist.

OK, sounds good.

Can you put me on speakerphone?

MATT MARIONE [ON PHONE]: OK, can you hear me?

Loud and clear.

You need to get your patientinto an upright position.

OK, Cheryl, you put your--put your arms around me.

I'm going to get you up onto your knees, OK?

Hold on to me.

That's OK, now grab on to the other one.

Here's a cushion here for you.

OK, OK, it's going to be OK.

BARBARA GRAY [ON PHONE]OK, Matt, I'm going to talk

you through this step by step.

Now I need you to check her cervix.

[thunder]

OK, she's fully dilated.

[crackling]

Matt?

[beeping]

Oh, no.

Matt, I can't hear you.

MATT MARIONE [ON PHONE]: The battery's dying.

Uh, the baby's not moving.

BARBARA GRAY [ON PHONE] Uh, you're dropping--

[beeping]

Shit!

Shit.

Come on, Hugh, pick up.

HUGH DELANEY [ON PHONE]: Ellie?

Hugh?

HUGH DELANEY [ON PHONE]: Hello.

Toby said he saw you at the hospital.

Is everything OK?

Ellie?

Hugh?

Yeah?

Oh!

What are you doing?

You don't live here.

You can't just walk in whenever you want.

I had to get my wet weather gear.

I phoned.

I left a message on the machine.

Oh, what about my mobile?

Well, I-- I was only goingto be two minutes, in and out.

You wouldn't even know.

You scared the hell out of me.

Oh, come on.

I thought I was being robbed.

All right, I'm sorry.

Won't happen again.

Thank you.

Did you find your gear?

No, I could've sworn itwas in the linen cupboard.

I know where it is.

[moaning]

Hang in there, Cheryl.

Hang in there.

OK, OK, hands off the breech.

OK, you can this.

Just let nature do it's stuff.

Is Mommy going to be OK?

Hi, um, what's your name?

Zoe.

Oh, that's a pretty name.

I nearly died when I was born.

She's bleeding.

What?

Mommy, she's bleeding.

Forget me, save the baby.

MATT MARIONE: OK, hang in there, Cheryl.

OK, sweetie, I'm really going toneed you to go outside, please.

It's OK.

Go outside, please.

Cheryl, Cheryl, can you hear me?

OK, sweetie--

I had the cord caught around my neck.

That's how I got this mark, see?

That's from the doctor's finger.

OK, Zoe--

[moaning]

I'm going to save this baby.

I promise you that.

But, uh, when the next contraction comes,

I'm really going to need you to push, OK?

OK, this is it.

OK, push.

Push now.

[moaning]

OK, almost.

OK, good, nearly there.

OK, here's the head.

Where's that cord?

Wrapped around the neck.

Come on.

It's family.

OK, hang in there, Cheryl.

OK, OK, push now, push, that's it.

Here it comes.

That's it.

It's-- it's a little girl.

Come see.

[baby crying]

Oh, little one.

Here's mommy, oh, that's a way!

That's a way.

There it's come.

PILOT: Flight wrights, this is flying doctor.

This is foxtrot mike, sowe'll land at Wilson property.

Cab us inside, won't you?

How's the baby, mate?

She's fine, I think.

And mum?

I'm fine.

She hemorrhaged duringdelivery, but that's eased.

OK, well, we'll radio ahead and get

a theater team on standby.

We heard it was a tricky one.

Good job.

[thunder]

Looks like storm's coming in.

We're in for a bumpy ride.

PRESENTER [ON RADIO]: Well,that storm activity continues

throughout the Alice region.

Even several spot fires have been reported

due to lightning strikes.

However, little or no rain has been reported

south of Tennant Creek.

I know, guess what, guys.

We have got a surprise new daddy in town.

The flying doctor servicehas been in touch,

and asked us to put out acall for a Stuart Wilson.

So Stu, I hope you're there.

Here's the news.

Your little girl has come two weeks early.

Cheryl and babs are flying intoAlice Hospital as we speak,

congratulations, mate.

Those sleepless nights are about to begin.

Woo-hoo!

Woo-hoo!

For a moment there--

Yeah, me too.

Funny old world, isn't it?

HELEN GREGORY: Why's that?

Until a couple of minutesago, I had absolutely nothing

in common with that bloke.

And now you do?

Helen, we both havedaughters born on the same day.

You know, statistically,that's not all that uncommon.

If you take 25 people, there'sa 50/50 chance at least two

of them will have the same birthday.

For 60 or more, theprobability is more than 99%.

Not a lot of poetry inyour soul today, is there?

I'm sorry.

You nervous about tonight?

Yeah, I just want to be a good dad.

So I'll see you at the Bar Bar for drinks.

- OK. - See you.

See you.

Hey, how is she?

Hey, yeah, she's going to be fine.

Good.

Um, sorry, by the time Igot your message it was--

Ah, the battery on the sat phone died.

Don't worry about it.

Where's Zoe?

Who?

Their other daughter.

I told her to wait here.

Oh, there was no one here.

Maybe she went for a wander.

Great.

I can find out for you.

What does she look like?

Yeah, she's-- uh, she's about nine or 10.

She's got blond hair, cute kid.

Cool.

The father's with the baby.

Great.

I'll tell him the good news.

Oh, and, um, drinks atthe Bar Bar for my birthday.

Oh, great, I will be there.

Happy birthday, by the way.

JESS DAILY: Thanks.

Mr. Wilson, I'm Dr. Marione.

How's Cheryl?

She's going to be fine.

She's, uh, in recovery now, but she'll be back

in the ward in a little while.

Marione, you're the bloke who--

Delivered the baby, yeah.

They told me you savedtheir lives, both of them.

Doc, I'd give you a hug, but--

No, that's OK.

But given Cheryl's history, I'm surprised

that her obstetrician didn't monitor

the pregnancy more closely.

A third trimester scan would have--

What history? What do you mean?

Her previous pregnancy was--it was basically a carbon copy.

No, this is the first.

What?

There we go.

There we go.

She's your first?

Yeah.

Doc, you OK?

Have you though of name?

Oh, I've got a shortlist of about 50.

We thought we had a couple moreweeks up our sleeve, you know?

What about Zoe?

It means life.

Zoe, yeah, I like that.

Thanks, doc.

I'll run it past the boss.

And babs likes it.

I think she just smiled.

[chuckle]

OK, It's going to be good.

It's going to be great, yeah.

Oh, mate, this is worse thanopening for Kiss back in '86.

God.

[music playing]

Hey.

You look good.

Yeah?

Thanks.

Yeah, but why that shirt?

I hate that shirt.

You look like a cool dad.

Yeah.

Good day.

Good day.

Hi.

I don't want you stuckbehind the bar all night.

It seems word of your newhappy hour has got around.

Yeah, how did that happen?

HELEN GREGORY: Word of mouth.

Happy birthday!

JESS DAILY: Thank you.

JACK JAFFERS: Oh, my god.

What?

What's wrong?

My daughter is so beautiful.

Dutch courage?

Lucky it's half price.

I should have bought her a gift.

I mean, it's her birthday.

I should have bought her something.

HELEN GREGORY: It's a bit late now.

Yeah, I mean, why didn't you tell me?

What did you say, buy her a present, Jack?

Hang on, it's not my fault. Besides,

I thought you were the present.

Yeah, yeah, you're right.

Thanks.

When are you going to tell her?

Soon.

Wow, it's a--

Heart rate monitor for when you're exercising.

Right.

Yeah, see this watch?

It takes your pulse rate soyou can-- well, you know.

Monitor your heart.

Yeah, yeah, and look at this.

It's got a little flashingheart, which is kind of cute,

don't you reckon? - Yeah.

Yeah.

FRIEND: Let's see it.

Let's see it.

Joe says it's gorgeous.

JESS DAILY: Oh, it's cute.

Oh, wow.

When did he give it to you?

Today.

Wow.

It's the thought that counts, isn't it?

- It's really you. - It's very Jess.

I'll fun it up a little bit.

Looked like that went well.

Are you kidding?

They're wetting themselvesover Darren's present.

Heard about the necklace.

Pretty hard to compete with that.

[side conversation]

Jess.

Yeah.

Ah, you look wonderful tonight.

Thanks.

Yeah, look, um--

This is a great idea, thank you.

Oh, no worries.

Look, have you got a second?

I just wouldn't mind having a quick word.

OK, I'm just-- I'm-- I'm bursting.

Oh, all right, yeah, no worries, yeah.

Strike two.

[thunder]

You want another drink?

Yes, please.

Hey, happy birthday.

Thank you.

It's, uh, it's sort of unusual.

So if you don't like it--

What is it?

It's a fulgurite.

Desert glass.

Yeah.

It happens when, um,lightning hits the ground,

and it fuses the sand.

And sometimes it's called God's Finger.

I trod on this just before a strike.

And I bent down to look at it.

And you know how lightningalways hits the highest point?

Well, I think it saved my life.

That's amazing.

MATT MARIONE: Yeah, it's been one of those days.

Hey, I drop 60 bucks on eBay,and barely even get a thank

you.

He gives her a bloody rock.

Matt or Darren?

Both of them.

Thank you, it's beautiful.

You're welcome.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, tick tock, man.

Yeah, yeah, man, I--

I don't know whether today'sthe right day, all right?

If you don't tell her, I will.

Come on, Kirk.

Don't be unreasonable.

Hey, you don't get it.

I'm doing you a favor, come on.

Come on.

So is your room still up for rent?

Are you sick of Toby's dirty socks?

MATT MARIONE: Uh, yeah.

Yeah, so can I take it?

Sure. MATT MARIONE: Great.

Can I take this?

Yeah, thanks.

Yeah, thanks.

Thanks, Helen.

How's it going?

Good.

Really?

Yeah, why?

You look terrified.

No, no, I'm all right.

All on track.

Great, your buddy's back.

Hey, mate.

How'd it go?

She is the mostbeautiful thing I ever saw.

Good, good.

Are you a father?

Yeah, why?

So you know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah.

I am going to show her everything.

I am going to show her the whole world.

Oh, good.

[phone rings]

Sorry, I've got to take that.

MATT MARIONE: Yeah, sure.

Hi, any day.

No, I'm in a bar.

It's loud.

Hang on, I'll go outside.

Hey, Toby.

Boys, who's up for a game of stick?

You and me, Tobes, come on.

Mrs. Delaney, what would you like?

I'll have a wine, thanks, Mikey.

No worries. Hey, fellas.

HUGH DELANEY: Do youwant heads or tails then?

Uh, it doesn't matter.

Heads, mine.

What do you reckon your mum's doing here?

TOBY DELANEY: Um, I don't know, Dad.

That's a hard one.

Maybe she thought there werebirthday drinks on for Jess.

It's a possibility, I guess.

Hi.

It's Jess's birthday.

[thunder]

I missed you.

Me too.

[thunder]

[screaming]

HUGH DELANEY: OK, quiet, everybody.

Come on, quiet, quiet!

Quieten down.

Is everybody all right?

KIRK: Jack, Jack, switchon the emergency generator!

Jack!

Oh, are you OK?

Oh, that was close.

It hit the bar.

You threw yourself on top of me.

I felt the hairs standup on the back of my neck.

I'm your dad.

[thunder]

What?

I was an Alice 24 yearsago during a solar eclipse.

Your mum and I were lovers.

I'm your dad, Jess.

No, you're not.

[music playing]

[SINGING] [non-english]

You're a mongrel, you know that?

Jess--

No, I'm doing the talking.

You just shut up.

Fair enough.

I went home last night, and I rang mum.

She didn't remember me.

So there's no point in asking her about you.

I'm sorry.

No, shut up!

You don't get to be sorry.

I went into my bathroom.

And I looked in the mirror.

I looked at myself for a longtime, and then I saw you.

I saw you in my eyes.

I saw you in the line of my chinand in the curve of my mouth.

That's genes for you.

You abandoned me.

You abandoned her.

You don't just get away with that.

It's not what happened, Jess.

I don't want you to come near me.

And I-- I don't want to see you.

And I don't want to talk to you ever again.

And if you try, I will call the police.

And I'll get an AVO.

Do you understand?

Jess--

JESS DAILY: Do you understand?

Yeah.
