Mum, slow down!

I have to keep
the revs up on this hill.

Don't worry, mate. I'll drive back.

Oi, no ganging up, you two.

Hang on to that.

Mum!

It was a hole.

Weren't they around here somewhere?

That's got the tracking data on it
for the whole colony.

Yeah, stop here.

What? You said stop.

Any broken bones, mate?
It's too early to say.

Shh!

Ah, bingo.

Lace monitor - female.

Oh, beautiful.
Yeah.

It looks massive.

Must be here for breeding season.

This is gonna be great
for your biology assignment.

Yeah, earth sciences. Yeah.

Why do they keep blending subjects
and confusing parents?

Did you bring the nets?
Are we catching lizards?

When do I ever forget the gear?

Well...

I'll go up.
No, no, it's fine.

Seriously, I'm good to go.

Gus, that is 10 metres up.
Yeah, and...?

I'm better with heights.
I... I feel like a climb.

No, you just don't want to
chase after it when it drops.

Nice one.

What?
Nothing.

You two better not be shooting
any unflattering bum footage.

Hey. Hello.

You're a beautiful girl.

Yes!

Ohh.

Hello. Dr Sam Stewart.
Can I help you?

Hi, Andrew. Can I call you back?

I'm tied up at the moment.

Don't you move, you little bastard!

No, I am not talking to you, Andrew.

Oh, gotta go.

OK, Gus, she's on the move.

Don't let her go!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Easy!

Over here, over here.

Stay there. Easy.

Ahh...

Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Back. Easy, easy.
You're alright, girl.

Stay there.

Come on, gorgeous.

Did you get her?

Yeah!
Whoo!

You're alright, darling.
You're alright, beautiful.

Calm down. You're alright.

Ow!

Did you get bitten, you goose?

Yeah.
Yeah.

You're alright, sweetie.
You're alright.

There's no town, Will.

Yeah, isn't it brilliant?

It's not exactly...

It's not what I expected.

We agreed - tropical paradise.

Yeah, so a resort,
a horizon pool, boutiques. Come on!

Or unspoilt wilderness.

Well, what's on today?
Windsurfing? A spot of kayaking?

With sharks and sea snakes?
Are you joking?

Ah, I have a secret rendezvous
reserved for honeymooners.

It's a private little river beach.

It sounds fantastic.

There's no jellyfish
or stingrays, is there?

Just cool, crystal clear water.

I don't suppose
there's a restaurant?

Oh, we could pack you a hamper.

What do you say?

Well, we have to
do something, don't we?

How did you two meet?

Oh, we met doing our
masters of business administration.

We were in a mergers
and acquisitions class.

Yeah.

Aww, how sweet.

That bloke's got
his work cut out for him.

She's seriously high-maintenance.

Pretty boy given up on
the accommodation upgrade, has he?

Yeah, I told him if he didn't like it
here he could sleep on your boat.

Oh, right! Yeah, he turns
a nice shade of green, doesn't he?

So I've heard.

Well, I'll be going out for
the next couple of hours - abalone.

Bit late in the season, isn't it?

If there's plenty down there,
I fish. If there aren't, I don't.

There's no point in me asking you
not to dive alone again, I suppose?

Not really, no.
Keep an eye out for us?

For what? The Fisheries Department?

- They don't like poachers.
- Really?

I suppose you haven't
got that licence yet.

Oh, it's in the mail.

Arggh!

So what exactly is the deal
with you living over there, Freya?

Deal?

You know, like,
the terms of the rental,

how long are you there for,
does it include meals, etc?

You know, the "deal"?
I don't know.

I arrived, Sam said, "Here's
your room," and I said,"Thanks".

So you're not paying any rent?

Not that it's anyone
else's business.

There aren't any spare rooms,
if that's what you're asking.

Well, now that I'm here
it changes the hierarchy, obviously.

In what way?

Lose the gum, Nell.

A senior position
comes with benefits.

It's not like we're a big hospital.
We all work together...

Take your place, for example, Livvy.

I'm sure it was originally intended
for a senior staff member,

and that's me.

Living at my place
means being on call 24/7.

Are you up for that?

Didn't think so. Nell, gum!

Oh... Sorry, just hang about.

I've just spilt tea.

Oh, you're not wiping up tea
with your shirt, are you?

You can't see that.

So, Sam, is Jack around?

Uh, he is doing
an online class, I think.

Doesn't want to talk to me?

Or you don't want him to talk to me.

That is really unfair

because I spend half my time
trying to get him to see you

so please don't put this onto me.

You are the one who left him. Mm-hm.

Maybe I should just
leave him alone for a while.

You know, Andrew,
he will come around.

You just need to keep trying.

So, Dr D'Alessandro. That's not
really a fair trade, is it?

I should demand compensation.

You got two resus packs
out of the deal.

Well, now that I've met him I reckon
you should throw in an MRI at least.

He's a good registrar.

Andrew, you sent me
a doctor who gets seasick.

How do you think we do
house calls around here?

Yes, well, I didn't call
to talk about Rick.

Sam, I want you to come over,

lecture our final years
on the remote medical clinics.

Come on. It'll be great PR.

PR to med students?

Where does that get me?
What do I get out of it?

You've always got your hand out
for a bit of extra funding.

How about a bit of quid pro quo?

How about the extra funds?

Come in, Malcolm. Take a seat.

You could touch on your venom work.
No, no, no. That's too soon.

Sam, you've got
green stuff on your face.

Just think about it, Sam.

We'll talk about it later.

You're not still funding your ex's
half-arsed little clinic, are you?

Or is it her venom hobby?

Andrew!

Uh...

Just be careful, Malcolm, OK?

I respect what she's trying
to achieve on that island of hers

and I won't have anyone
running her down.

To quote the dean,
remote clinics are on the way out.

They're an expense
the department doesn't need.

Yeah, well, the dean and I
differ on that point

and if I didn't need her out there
I'd suggest you recruit her.

She's doing some pretty
interesting things

on a budget the size
of your lab's petty cash.

You know, it's meant to be,
"Knock, knock," wait.

How's my ex-father?

Would it kill you to talk to him?

Why? I've got nothing to say, Mum.

Just go for civility.

I mean, that'd
be good enough for now.

That's how I stay civil, Mum -
I don't talk to him.

OK.

I, uh, chucked
a little bit of lighter fluid

on the barbie to fire it up
and, "Boom!"

Oh...
Here.

We're just gonna leave that arm
in the water bath for a while,

then Freya is going
to dress the wound,

she's going to give you
a little bit of pain relief

and tell you how to look after it
while it heals.

The patient is all yours, Freya.

OK.

It's incredible!
Is this where he meant?

It's actually like... It's paradise.

Did you bring the insect repellent?
Yes.

And you brought sunscreen?
Uh-huh.

And we've got the picnic.

And complete privacy.

Why don't we go for a swim first,

say, for half an hour,
and then we can eat?

Then maybe we can have a nap
over there in the shade.

I'm micro-managing, aren't I?

You've had such a lot on organising
the wedding. Now we have six...

And being on the
acquisitions team, don't forget.

Now we've got six days to relax.

Five and a half to be accurate.

Yeah, five... five and a half days
just to relax.

Mmm.

Well, how about I...

I race you to the water?

So what? Malcolm called our
work here 'half-arsed' and 'little'?

Yeah, well, we are
little technically.

Huh. When did he say this?

Oh, he came into Andrew's office
while we were online.

I just hate the fact that
he is there, on the spot,

high visibility,
with direct access to Andrew.

And they probably play golf together.

Yeah, everything Malcolm does

has the subtext of,
"..and global domination."

Yeah, he's probably
got an underground lair.

It said on the website that he was
doing some research with stonefish.

Well, as long as he doesn't try
and muscle in on our ulcer cream,

because that is our science.

Ahh, is that why Andrew called?

No, Andrew called

because he was trying
to talk me into doing some lecture

by saying that I could
talk about our venom research.

Oh, great. When?

Forget it. That is not happening.

No.

Hey.

So how's the pain now?

Yeah, almost gone.
Good.

Alright.

A little sting.

I know!

Hold that.

I'm going to clean the burn
with an antiseptic

and give you some antibiotic
ointment to take with you.

You need to change the dressing
twice a day, alright?

Did someone ask for a doctor?

Who do we have here?

This is Tom. Thanks, we're fine.

No trouble.

There might be other patients
who need you.

Alright. Oh, I'd like to use
a larger dressing.

I've...
He'll need something for the pain.

I've already given...
Get me a tetanus booster.

I've given him the booster, doctor.

Well done.

He sent me out
to get the wrong-sized dressing

and embarrass me
in front of the patient.

You know where I'd like to put this?
Freya!

Oh, you've got the right one.
This should cover the whole wound.

I'd like to use that one,
thank you, nurse.

Pleasure, doctor. Would you like me
to cut it down to size for you?

No, thank you, nurse.

The smaller one's
all I need. Just...

No-one's asking you, Tom.
OK.

Alright, when we're done
we're gonna give you some...

Antibiotic ointment and I'm gonna
change the dressing twice a day.

You've been well briefed.

Has the wound been cleaned?

Uh, no.

Freya has everything ready.

You can clean up.

Must be great working here

when the rest of us
come for a holiday.

But how do you think the patient
felt to have you taking over?

Relieved.
I was doing everything right.

Freya, you're a student.
You're not a doctor.

I'm sure Tom couldn't
tell the difference.

Let's not start
making this personal, Livvy.

You're the one who made this
personal when you undermined us...

I don't care if this clinic
is a backwater.

Patients are entitled
to the best treatment.

That means
the most senior doctor available.

How's it going there,
Chomps, my darling?

Is your finger still bleeding?

Yeah, must be the anticoagulant
property in the saliva.

Yeah, that is vampire technology.

You're angry enough to give us

a bucketload of venom,
aren't you, buddy?

Yes, you are! Yes, you are!

Um, so, hey, why not
do the uni lecture?

I mean, there could be
a small fee in it for you.

Do you wanna grab the saliva
swabby thing -

Uh, yep.

OK, here we go.

Oh, whoa! Are you getting that?

I sure am. That is a great specimen.

Yeah, I've got a frozen mouse
with your name on it, Chomps.

Do you know what I love?

What?

That we have compatible life goals.

Yeah, that's good.

Mine have all been met.

Your short-term goals?

Yeah, my short-term goals
are all... ticked

Hungry?
I'm starving.

Oh...

If you told me at breakfast...

Mm-hm?

That I'd be 100% content
by lunchtime...

Yeah?

I wouldn't have believed you.

And if I drew a graph of
my happiness and wellbeing index...

you would see exponential growth.

I was treating the patient like you
said I could.

- I gave him the tetanus booster...
- He didn't check with me.

He walked in and started
issuing orders.

I can't believe I'm expected
to put up with this.

It's hard to work with someone
when they don't listen to you.

Freya had everything under control.
There was no reason for him to...

I refuse to have my authority
questioned by nurses and students.

Freya, Livvy, could
we just have a minute?

Thank you.

Now, if I could just explain
what ACTUALLY happened...

No, do you know what?
I think I get the picture.

Look, in a mainland hospital, fine -

you know, chain of command,
that's important.

But here not so much.
But...

Here we are more...
co-operative.

Patients still deserve...

Let me give you an example
of where we stand.

Right, uh... if you were to leave
tomorrow, it'd be business as usual,

but if Livvy were to go
we would be stuffed.

But I don't...

Now, as far as Freya goes,

when you took over that treatment
you countermanded MY authority.

I apologise.

But...
No more buts.

We all need to get along here
so you need to find a way to fit in.

Did you know that
Freya's last rotation

was at a specialist burns unit?

No.
No.

So you had a good day, then?

Yeah, it was the best.
Yeah, it was heaven.

There was nothing scary in the water
and, oh, the food was delicious.

Oh, and thanks for the wheels too.

Oh, not a problem. You can borrow it
again tomorrow if you want.

Everyone else is out
windsurfing and kayaking.

Oh, yeah, if we could repeat
today over and over again

it would be the most perfect
honeymoon ever.

Thank you.

Thank you.

If I could repeat
MY day over and over again

I'd know I'd died and gone to hell.

Oh, well, she wasn't very happy this
morning either, but look at her now.

You want another one?

So why the sudden turnaround?

Oh, she's experiencing the effects
of unconditional love.

Where could I get myself
some of that?

Crazy.

He's diving alone again, isn't he?

Yeah, that's why I'm sitting here.

It's my job to watch.

What's he doing out there?

Never mind what he's doing.
What are you doing?

You get those kayaks down to the
shore now. Don't forget the paddles.

Hey, uh...

how old do I look?

What?

Just if you didn't know me,
how old would you think I was?

Do you think I could pass for 18?

You know I'm the only person with
licensed premises on this island.

No, it's not for that.

Just in general, how old?

Well, I suppose you could pass for
a very young-looking 18-year-old.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Bloody funny-looking abalone.

Ohh!

Sarah.

Sarah!

Don't do that to me.

Don't look so worried!

Where do you want me?
A bit closer in.

Here?
Yeah, perfect.

OK, one more.
Ohh!

Sarah, what is it?

Ow, ow!
Sarah?

What's wrong?

Are you alright?
I just stepped on that rock there.

What rock?
Oh, my God! It's alive!

OK, it's OK. What is it?
What is that?!

It's alive! Ohh!
It's OK. Come on, come on.

Right through here, thanks.

I've got it. It's in here, Gus.

She step on you, little matey?
Yeah.

Sonny said it's poisonous.

I mean, how poisonous is it?
Can it kill me?

Oh, my God. I'm gonna die!

Ow! Will, that hurts.

Take the blood, thanks, Livvy.

Freya, can you get
that hot-water bath ready?

45 degrees?
Very good.

We have antivenom
for stonefish stings.

One little injection
and you'll be fine.

But do you even know
what you're doing?!

I want specialist care.
Call for a helicopter now!

We can treat you here,
but you need to stay calm.

Calm! Calm! How can I stay calm...?

Nell!

Clean up in here please.

How can I be calm
when I might be dying?

Make a fist.

Put your foot in here. Yep.

Arggh!

That's really hot! It's burning me.

Can someone just get my wife
some antivenom?

It needs to be hot.
Try and keep it in. That's it.

OK, we will administer an antivenene

as soon as we've
analysed your symptoms.

Hold down that, please.

Freya? Straight
into Gus, please. Alright.

Are you feeling faint?
Yes.

OK, how's that nausea?
Really bad.

What?

Why are you wasting time
with hot water and blood tests?

OK, firstly, we would never
administer antivenom

without being sure of envenomation.

Secondly, if this is a stonefish
sting it's a heat-responsive venom

so we're already giving you
first stage treatment.

The heat is going to stop
the progress of the venom.

What do you mean 'if'?
We brought the damn thing in.

It's already been bloody ID'd.

You're right. In this case, we can.

OK, doctor, can I please
speak to you outside now?

Livvy, are you right here?
Yeah.

What?

Envenomation hasn't been confirmed.

She has puncture marks.
We can draw a logical conclusion.

How do you know those puncture marks
are the site of an envenomation?

How do you KNOW she has not
been stung by something else?

What are the odds of that?

It doesn't matter
if they're a million to one.

We're waiting until
we have the evidence.

How much evidence do you need, Sam?

Because we have the fish,
her BP's up and she's vomiting.

She is also hysterical, which could
account for some of those symptoms.

So basically, doctor,
you would be prepared

to administer an antivenom
at this point?

Absolutely.

Hmm, well, you have obviously never
seen a patient with serum sickness

after it's been
administered incorrectly.

I have.

What is it you're not telling me?

We are telling you everything
that you need to know.

Why did you bring us here, Will?!

I knew something like this
would happen.

I thought you were gonna
surprise me with Orpheus Island.

Temp's normal.
Great.

Why me? On my HONEYMOON, Will!

Hey, Sarah, can you
wriggle your toes for me?

That's it. Have you got any numbness
or tingling in your foot?

No.
The pain's still just in the foot?

Yes. Isn't that enough?

Alright, doctor, can you draw up
some local anaesthetic, please?

2% lignocaine without adrenaline?

Yep, that's good. How's that nausea?
Mm, mm!

We need the bucket!

Get a urine sample, please, Livvy.

The most venomous fish
in the world.

You should be wearing gloves.

Nope, don't need to.

It's the dorsal spines on top

that are the ones
you gotta look out for.

They're the ones
with the venom in it.

You should still be wearing gloves.

Hey, gee.
What?

That looks good.

Oh, crayfish and mango salad.

Hmph, well, no point in wasting it.

Any chance of a hurry up
on those bloods?

Uh...

Yeah, a couple more minutes.

Oh, is that the perpetrator?

Oh, look at it
from its point of view -

you're just sitting around
minding your own business,

then all of a sudden out of nowhere

some dumb human comes
and stands on you.

I mean, where did you find it?

Estuary Beach.
See...

Really? I've never
seen them up there before.

Do you want to know one
of the other names they go by?

Don't know, don't care.
The warty-ghoul.

And they can also live out of water
for up to 20 hours.

Fascinating.

Can you stop chowing down
on the honeymooners' lunch?

Check this for me, please?
Alright.

What are we looking for?

How's that pain?

Um, a bit more comfortable, thanks.

We'll give Sarah the antivenom
and you can relax, Will.

Let's take a moment
to review, shall we?

The region is quite oedematous,

there is whitening
around the punctures,

there is no loss of power
or movement in the foot or the leg,

there is no tingling or numbness
and the pain has remained localised.

Freya, BP?
Elevated.

But no more than we would expect
after a shock like this. Temperature?

Still normal.

There is nausea and vomiting,
but no abdominal pain or cramping,

no respiratory distress and I'm not
seeing any worsening of her symptoms.

Would you still give the antivenom?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Sarah...

you must have stood on the pectoral
spines on the side of the stonefish.

You haven't been envenomed.

What? So I... I'm not poisoned?
No.

Oh, thank God.

And, congratulations,
you are pregnant.

What?

What? That's amazing.

Oh!
Ouch.

Um... OK.
Ouch.

Physiologically,
this is the optimum time.

It's not the best time.

I just can't believe it. That's all.

We haven't talked about this.

Well, we have in principle.

We have?
Mm-hm. Remember?

You said that women were under-represented
on boards of management

and that there should be
more at-home fathers.

I did?
Mm-hm.

Well, I do, yeah, in principle.

I know you do, honey.

Not a bad way to finish
the day, hey?

Not bad at all. Thanks.

Hey, does Jack seem OK to you?

Mmm, no stranger than usual.

I just keep thinking

I don't know if it makes any
difference at all us living here.

But things between Andrew and Jack,
they are getting worse,

or from what I can tell,

because of course Jack
never wants to discuss it.

Maybe it would be easier
if they saw each other every day.

Maybe it wouldn't.

He just will not forgive Andrew
for walking out.

I guess I keep hoping that
maybe one day he'll let it go.

I really would like them to be close.

Like you were with your dad.

Were we close?
Of course you were.

Then how come I didn't notice
that he was so sick?

Well, he was determined
to hide it from you.

He wanted you to
remember him well, not suffering.

I miss him.

Yeah, I miss him too.

And, Sammy, when it comes
to Andrew and Jack,

you can't make that right.

It's up to them.

All you can do
is keep the door open.

Hm. Hmm.

This is great practice
if all my patients are pigs.

How was your day?

Oh, we had a stonefish false alarm.

Rick's still...
settling in.

Is he being a tool?

I wouldn't say that
about a colleague,

but if someone else did...

Typical guy,
thinks he knows everything.

Don't you grow up
like that. Promise?

Hey.

Hey.
Hey.

Um, I got an email
from my maths tutor

saying you didn't send the form
for the advanced maths class.

You sure? Because I could have sworn
I did send him something recently.

Well, there's only
a couple of spots left.

So is it alright
if I send this from you?

Uh...

Yeah, that's good.

You can press 'Send' if you like.
Oh.

Hmm.

What's for dinner?

Uh... Oh! Fish would be good.

If we had any.

Well, your rod is over in the corner.

I've read about mothers
who make dinner for their children.

No, it's an urban myth, mate.

Mothers who deprive their children
of feeling capable and independent.

How many am I catching for?

And I'm starving.

Alright, I'll come with you.

Yeah, sure.

I'm gonna catch the first fish.

Oh, dream on.
I'm gonna catch the most fish.

You're like my brothers -
always competing.

'Bye.

Hey, have you uploaded
the monitor lizard footage, hm?

Um, yep, it's on the webpage.

Oh.

That's nice.

Ooh, God!

You didn't.

It's a shame we gotta
kill these guys to get their venom.

Sorry, fellas. Nothing personal.
You know I like your work.

Sonny show you the location
of the colony?

Yeah, he did, he did.

There's heaps of them,
but, uh, I hate playing executioner.

I've been thinking about that

because I think maybe there is a way
of milking them without killing them.

OK, just hang on.

Ta.

OK, let's have a look.

OK.

Can you expose the spine for me?

Oh, look how elastic that is.

There you go.

Ah, see... that's disappointing.

Yeah. Alright, well, bye-bye, mate.

Just wait, Gus.

Give him a chance to rebuild
his supply in that one.

Go to this dorsal spine. I wanna
see if we can get a full load.

OK.

See if you can pull it down a few
more mil and expose the venom sacs.

Oh, there it is, but what
do you want me to do with it?

Got him?

Ahh!

I like the way your mind works.

And he won't feel a thing.

So Gus is retracting
the integumentary sheath.

At the base of each of the 13
dorsal spines are two venom sacs.

And we can draw about
5 mil of venom from each one.

There we go.
Without killing the fish.

So we have a sustainable
supply of stonefish

that we can milk
for antivenom production.

And don't worry about
our little friend here

because he will regenerate
more venom in three to four weeks.

There we go.

How was my hair?
Uh... Where was my close-up, mate?

OK, let's do this.

Are we ready to send
this out to the world?

Yep.
OK.

OK, press 'Load'.

Who's half-arsed now, Malcolm?

She's trumped you again, Malcolm.

What are you talking about?

And don't worry
about our little friend here

because he will regenerate
more venom in three to four weeks.

There we go.

You have a team of PhD students,

a lab with all
the bells and whistles

and still she beats you to it.

Well...

It's not that
I hadn't thought of it.

It's a risky technique.

She's not even wearing gloves.

You need to lift your game.

Oh, there you go.

That's better than being
garden fertiliser, hey, mate?

Is that it?
Yeah, last one.

They should be
pretty happy out here.

Good neighbourhood.
No tourists.

Great. Great!

We're going to have to row.
Nah.

Gus, where are the oars?

Um...

I forgot them.

Gus 'When do I ever
forget the gear?' Cochrane.

Well, one of us is gonna
have to get out and push.

Hmm.
Ah.

Hey, what about Neville?

Yeah, she's over there.
She's a long way away. Go on!

Yeah, well, keep an eye on her.

Are you watching her?
Yeah, I'm watching.

Gus, uh...

Oh, she's dived.
OK!

Well, we're gonna have to get out
of here. Just give it another go.

It's cactus.

Oh, hey, Jack. When you get
this message, can you find Toby?

Gus and I are about
2 k's south of the estuary.

The motor's dead. Neville's circling.

Thanks. We appreciate it. 'Bye.

She's probably
under the boat by now.

Well, the good news is if we fall in
I don't have to outswim her.

Don't you?
No.

I just have to outswim you.
