SONG: ♪ When the sun
did rise this morning

♪ I got a change upon my mind

♪ I could hear my soul a-calling

♪ In my heart I know it's time

♪ 'Cause I'm a medicine woman

♪ I know the sparks are gonna fly

♪ Whoa, woman

♪ For a cure of heart and mind

♪ Ah, ah, ah

♪ 'Cause I'm a medicine woman

♪ I'm gonna look life in the eye

♪ Yes, I'm a medicine woman

♪ I know the sparks are gonna fly! ♪

(LAID-BACK MUSIC)

Ah, check it out. Snake poo.

Moist, so it's fresh.

Bones, teeth and fur.
It was probably its last meal.

- That's gross.
- No, mate. It's nature.

Come on. We're close.

Whoa. Whoa!

Oh!

Are you alright? I got that.

Did I look like a goose?

Yeah, totally.

Whoa. Whoa! Whoa!

Mate, if you want,
I can scrub the video.

No, no, no, no, probably good
for fans of the blog

to see that Gus Cochrane's
only human.

There.

An Eastern Brown Snake,
or a Pseudonaja Textilis.

It's a good size too.
Uh, 1, maybe 1.5 meters.

Now, they're good-natured,
as long as you play by their rules.

As much as I love the lab work, mate,
this is the real deal.

- Are they aggressive?
- Only if they feel threatened.

You mean when someone's
trying to catch them?

Here.

Browns strike fast, only leaving
tiny puncture bite marks.

Don't be fooled, though.

Their venom blocks out your body's
ability to clot blood.

Next minute you're bleeding
out of places

you don't wanna be bleeding out of.

Oh, tell me you got that?

(PARROTS WHISTLE)

SONNY: Guten Morgen, Freya.

FREYA: G'day. Mm.

How's the clinic prep going?

We need some more chairs.

Oh, we'll get them.

- Uh, there's more sandwiches inside.
- Alright.

Exactly how many people
are we expecting?

No idea yet,
but they're gonna be hungry.

Well, why don't they bring
their own lunch?

I mean, it's a medical practice,
not a community fete.

You haven't been
to a clinic day before, have you?

No, but I can't wait.
Full roster of patients.

Be more like a real ER for a change.

FREYA: Looks like we're going
to have our hands full today, huh?

RICK: Just the way I like it.

(LAID-BACK MUSIC)

CHILD: Dr Sam, Dr Sam!

- Hi, guys.
ALL: - Hi.

- Oh, are they all for me?
ALL: - Yes.

- Thank you. They're great.
LIVVY: - Oh, mangoes. Thank you.

Oh, more coconuts.
You really shouldn't have.

Do you wanna pop them over
in the shade? Thanks.

So how come you get mangoes off the
hot guy and I get the coconuts?

Oh.

Ahem. Keeping island time?

Is there any other kind?

Patient roster for the day.
Don't change it like last time.

Uh, platters go over there.
Try and keep the flies off them.

Won't all of this just encourage
everyone to jam up the place?

We hope so.

Hey, Barry.

- How are you, Sammy?
- Hi.

- Good to see you back.
TOBY: - Don't strangle her, Baz.

- She's got a big day ahead of her.
- Coffee's over there.

Gonna be a big day alright.

Have you got anything planned
for these older kids?

Always.

Alright, all the big kids. Grab
your stuff and follow me. Let's go.

SAM: Everyone. (WOLF-WHISTLES)
Gather around.

Alright, step in the back. Watch
your heads on here, OK? In you get.

OK, please say a very big hello
to our new doctor, Dr D'Alessandro.

You can call him Rick.

ALL: - Hey, Rick.
- Hey.

Got a big day ahead, so please eat,
drink, catch up on all the goss.

But you're gonna
have to wait in line.

And remember, patience is a virtue.

It's a bit of a clinic joke.
You know, patience, patients.

Yeah, never mind. Just make sure
you get checked off with Nell.

Uh, whoa. Just chill, OK? Haven't
you guys ever heard of a line?

Excuse me, uh,
we're looking for Gus Cochrane.

Do you know where we might find him?
Are you friends with Gus?

- Well, bit more than just friends.
- OK.

Gus, friends here to see you.

Whoa. Is that an Eastern Brown?

Yeah.

- Pseudonaja Textilis. Am I right?
- Yeah.

Liam Bennett.
This is my girlfriend, Josie.

Hi.

You'd know me as Snakeman64.

Oh, come on. You remember? On the
new blog forum you just set up.

Oh.

Antoine, my pet python,
tried to swallow my hand.

You recommended I could wear a glove
so I could just slip out of it.

Make sure the snake eats the food,
not the provider.

I'm your number-one fan.

Liam, look, I appreciate it, mate,

but I've kind of got
my hands full here.

Oh, hey, don't let us interrupt.

We're just happy to watch
the master at work. Right, Jose?

- Power of the internet, huh?
- Yes.

We made the trek from Adelaide
to see you in the flesh.

- Really?
- He is your number-one fan.

Absolutely.
Speaking of flesh, check it.

Oh.
Smooth as a baby's butt.

I did mine after I read about
what happened to you on your blog

with the Gympie Stinger.

You know, that waxing was intense.
But Josie loves it.

He's my big Ken doll.

(GUS LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)

Whoa, hey, he is a beauty.
It's a she.

Really? Done the old cloacal probe,
eh?

Never been game to do it myself.

Just to imagine someone doing that
to me makes my eyes water.

Yeah, well, I haven't done the
probe yet, but it's just a guess.

Oh, hey, you'd know.
You are Gus Cochrane, living legend.

(CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY)

Are you all set in there?
Yeah, almost done.

That blog you wrote last week
on the lost art of herping,

it was like you were reading my mind.

Hey, you two should check out
the rainforest

while you're up here,
have a look around.

We could do it together?
Share some snake stories.

Unfortunately,
it is clinic day, mate,

so I am gonna be
pretty flat chat.

Tonight, a beer? My shout.
We can check in at the backpackers.

Well, you... you have
come all this way.

Excellent, and you can tell Josie
how you've been bitten a dozen times.

Yeah.
And counting.

Hey, Jack, why don't you show
these two to Sonny's?

Awesome. See you later, Gusso.

Hey, Jack, just don't let
those two talk to your mother.

OK, no problem... Gusso.

(CROWD CHATTERS)

(SAM CHATS INDISTINCTLY)

LIAM: So you film his adventures?

JACK: Most of them, yeah.

- Must be amazing.
- Yeah, it's pretty cool.

Actually, this morning we were
just up at the bluff.

There's an Eastern Brown habitat
up there.

That's where we got the snake
Gus is gonna milk.

Uh, are you a scientist?

Tax accountant. I work for the ATO.

(LAID-BACK MUSIC)

Hey. About this patient roster.
You've made changes here. Not me.

I've just pushed Gracie here
up to the front,

and I've moved Belinda and Georgie
down till after lunch.

They haven't seen each other
for a while. Lots to catch up on.

And Bill Watkins is already on his
third cuppa, so I wanna get him in

before the caffeine sends
his BP through the roof.

Sam, there's a mistake
on the schedule.

The same guy,
a Barry Mulligan, is down

for three separate consults
through the day.

No, that's not a mistake.

It'll become clear.

Rick, this is your first patient,
Gracie.

I've actually got a Jo...

Yeah, I know.
The roster's changed already.

If you've got a problem,
go see the Evil Queen.

No, thank you. Gracie. Come on up.

Believe me, being shipwrecked
is no picnic.

Every minute that you spend hoping
for someone to come and rescue you

is a minute closer to your
extinction.

You've got to save yourself.

So you wash up on this beach.
Island's deserted.

What's the first thing
you're gonna do?

GIRL: - Find something to eat?
- No.

Man can live without food
for 40 days.

- Find some water?
- Wrong again.

Water might hydrate you,
but it won't cool you down.

Heatstroke will get you like that.
Pete?

Build a shelter.

Give that man a lollipop. OK.

So we're gonna need palm fronds,
bamboo, driftwood,

anything that can be used
as a building material.

Well, don't just sit there.
Time's a-wasting. Let's go.

Whoever proves to be
the best shipwreck survivor

gets to send up the distress flare
at the end of the day.

This is for your bronchodilators.

Keep going with your nebuliser twice
a day, and if things deteriorate,

we'll look into a portable
oxygen machine down the track.

At your age, Gracie,
you should really know better.

You were quick.

That young doc is not as nice
as Sam or Hamish.

Barry.

Rick, Barry Mulligan.

Mr Mulligan. Take a seat, mate.

(SIGHS AND CLEARS THROAT)

- So what seems to be the problem?
- How old are you?

- Old enough.
(CHUCKLES) - Where you from?

Melbourne. So would you like to tell
me why you're here today?

Where to begin?

How about with
whatever's bothering you?

Well, OK. It started about
five years ago.

Uh, me and my brother Hank ran
a prawn trawler up the Cape.

- You know what a prawn trawler is?
- Yeah, I think so.

Just wanted to make sure,
seeing as you're from Melbourne.

Yeah, made not a bad living.

There's more money in prawns than
there is in tuna. Up here anyway.

Southern Bluefin down south. That's
where the real tuna action is, eh?

But you'd know that
being from that neck of the woods.

OK, the placenta is
in a good position.

It's nice and clear of the cervix.

So if you keep this up,
it's gonna be a textbook delivery.

- Get dressed.
- OK.

All done.

Not going to find out the sex?

Didn't for the first. Not for this
one. Phil's superstitious.

Wouldn't let me have a baby shower
till Pete was born.

- You married, Freya? Boyfriend?
- No.

Not much chance of that
changing out here, is there, Sam?

(SCOFFS)

When are you gonna get
your act together?

Find yourself another bloke?

Well, I'd have to mail one in.
There's water everywhere.

It's one big man drought. How's Phil?

Working like there's no tomorrow.

Hubby works the oil rigs
out of Darwin.

He's away a lot,
but he loves coming home to us.

Blood pressure - 150 over 100.

I'll just double-check it.

Is that high?

It is a little bit for you.

Has bubs been kicking much?

Not lately, thank God.

Been all knees and elbows
for the most part.

We'll get some urine and do some
bloods. Tick all the boxes, huh?

So that's how the boat sank
with a full haul of Red Spot Kings.

And Hank drives it smack bang
down into the bottom of the reef.

I swear he did it on purpose,

just because I arced up
over what he said

and gave him a clip
around the earhole.

Well, I haven't spoken to him since.

He hasn't spoken to me.
Five long years.

He still owes me 50 large
for my half of the boat.

You reckon he'd cough it up?
Snowball's chance in hell.

Barry, it seems to me

like you should be talking
to a family counsellor.

Hey?

As opposed to
a general practitioner,

but lucky I can help you out.

I'll find out what services are
available and I'll get you sorted.

Righto then. Catch you later.

Not quite finished yet.
I'll get a coffee.

Oh, Livvy, Fiona is giving
a urine sample now.

Would you be able
to draw up some bloods

and give them to Gus
to run some tests?

You think there's a problem?

Baby's not moving much
and she's hypertensive.

I just wasted a whole 10 minutes
on that Barry Mulligan guy.

You need to be patient with him.
Sam, there's nothing wrong with him.

He just likes to crap on
about his problems.

His medical file is
only one page long.

So what does that tell you?
He's healthy.

No, he doesn't complain, so when
he does, it must be significant.

Start with his rheumatism meds,
take it from there.

I can't treat the guy if he won't
tell me what's wrong with him.

When he trusts you, he will tell you.

Sam, I've got a patient list
as long as my arm.

I don't have time to wait
for him to trust me. Next.

Well, um... Might just...
Can I have the list? Just one sec.

(BRIGHT MUSIC)

JOSIE: - Far to go?
- Bluff's just up ahead.

Haven't we been this way already?

What? No way! I think I know
how to read a GPS, Jose.

It's so beautiful out here.

When we catch this Eastern Brown,
I'm gonna use it as my profile pic.

Those losers in
the herpetology discussion group,

they're gonna wet themselves.

I'd like to hear them then say
I've only got pussy snakes.

Isn't this a bit dangerous?

Only if you don't know
what you're doing.

Ah, right back at the stream.

This thing must be broken.

OK. OK. Well, we're here.

And we need to go north... or west.

No, or... south-east. OK, got it.

Can't we go for a swim first?

Babe, the bluff's just over there.
I am so psyched!

You're so sexy when you hunt snakes.

Ssssss!
Sssss.

RICK: Next.

Who's next?

We're in the middle of morning tea.

I gotta seriously question
the efficiency of your system here.

Rick, this is a social day
as much as a medical one.

I'm just trying to maintain
the schedule, Livvy.

Get them in, diagnose, prescribe,
get them out. My mantra.

Sounds more like a threat.

Slow down. These people have names.
They're not all called 'next'.

You need to talk to them,
but most importantly,

you need to listen
to what they have to say.

My job is to treat them clinically,
not gossip.

And I don't need a nurse practitioner
telling me about patients.

Rick. This is Marion and Alisha.

Marion and Alisha.
What beautiful names.

Come on through.

Mum's been getting headaches

the last week or so,
with a bit of a fever.

She had a turn yesterday.
Took a tumble. Hurt her knee.

OK. She had tuberculosis
30 years ago?

I don't think it's tuberculosis.
Alright.

I'm just gonna listen
to your chest, Marion.

Can you stand up for me, please?

Any chest pain? Night chills?

No.

Deep breath, please.

- Coughed up any blood?
- No.

That's good. Can you lift
your top for me, please, Marion?

It's OK, Mum.

Deep breath.

Your lungs are a little raspy,

but I'd say it's probably
just residual nodules.

Deep breath.

Good. Thank you.

Look, I doubt
it's a recurrence of TB.

That's what I said.
You're an expert, are you?

- I'm a nursing aide.
- Nursing aide. That's great.

I'd say it's just a touch of the flu.

It's going around.

Hang on. She's also got some pain
and numbness in her hands and feet.

Well, your mother does suffer
from arthritis,

which puts her at a higher risk of
infections from things like the flu.

Her meds weaken the immune system.

But her fall? The loss of balance.
She feels weak.

The flu can knock you around a bit.
Fatigue, et cetera.

Look, I've prescribed
some antivirals.

That and bed rest
and you'll be as good as gold.

There we go.

Make sure you follow the instructions
on the bottle exactly.

Thanks, Marion.
Finally getting back on track.

You think?

G'day, Ricky.

Bluff's just west of us.
I reckon we're in the right area.

My snake sensor's starting to tingle.

Hey, Josie.

Anything there?

Anything there?

- Yeah.
- What?

Eggs.

Argh! Argh!

Please don't get bitten.

I've watched enough videos
to know what I'm doing, Jose.

I've watched Gus do it
at least a dozen times.

He's a trained expert.

I do own at least
half a dozen snakes.

Non-venomous.
And you bought them online.

I'm just worried about you, Pumpkin.

Where's it gone?

- It's gone. You made too much noise.
- It's not my fault.

You took so long
getting that gear on,

the snake probably got sick
of waiting.

Hang on.

- Found it?
- No.

There's a couple of eggs that have
hatched. Some brown juvies.

They're small now but
they're gonna grow, right?

Um...

Empty your bumbag, quick.
What about the snake bag?

We still might find an adult. Quick.

I'm gonna grab a couple of eggs.

LAURIE: - What are you doing there?
- Nothing.

Removing snake eggs
from the wild is illegal.

It's called poaching.

- We're not poachers.
- No?

Then why don't you tell me what
the two of you are doing up here?

We were sent here by Gus Cochrane.

Gus?

Yeah, we're here
under Gus's instructions.

Aren't we, Jose?

It was the arthritis that forced me
into early retirement.

Copped a hook through the hand
during a storm one night

'cause I couldn't grip
the long line properly.

Took me head first
into the big blue.

Thought I was a goner.

Caught the mother of all colds.
Turned into pneumonia.

If it wasn't for Sam's dad, Hamish,

I wouldn't be sitting here
talking to you today.

- Thank God for Hamish.
- Mm.

So, Barry, is that why you're here?
Your rheumatism is bothering you?

No, no, no.
The meds I take are magic.

My hands are as good as new. See?

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Hey, sorry to interrupt.

I was just wondering
if I could take Baz for a sec?

Be my guest.
I'll see you later, Doc.

Can't wait.

Baz, I just wanna talk to you
about Fiona Shelby.

There's nothing wrong
with the bub, I hope?

Oh, no, no. But you live pretty close
to her, right? Near the resort?

You've got a bit to do
with her and Phil.

Not Phil. Not anymore anyway.

That's because he's off working
so much, right?

Yeah, he's working alright. Working
hard at feathering his own nest.

And not just with all that cash

that he makes on the rigs,
if you get my meaning.

Not quite.

Well, Phil nicked off
on Fiona and Pete months ago.

He's got some new bird in Darwin.

And he's not coming back.

OK.

Right, everyone, watching me.

Nice and tight. See?

This raft's gotta be
strong enough to hold together

but it's gotta give a little bit
in rough seas.

Last thing you want is

to sink two miles out there
with no help on the way.

What if a shark attacks the raft?

Well, that's a different kind
of survival, Pete.

I saw this one thing on the Net
of this scientist guy

standing in the water
with all these bull sharks

and one of them ate
his whole calf off.

Ew.

That's exactly
why this raft has gotta be strong.

Everyone, make sure
those vines are nice and tight.

And this other clip of this massive
great white attacking a kayak.

Enough. No more stories.

Let's focus on building
the raft, eh?

It's not the right shape. It should
be twice as long as it is wide.

For stability in the water.

Where did you learn all this?

Off the HowStuffWorks website.

No-one likes to be shipwrecked
with a smartypants, Pete.

If it gets to cannibalism, they're
always the first ones to get eaten.

Cool!

SAM: Thanks, Nell. Fi.

There's a problem, isn't there?
With the baby?

The baby is fine.
Your tests came back all fine.

Although your blood pressure is still
a little bit higher than I'd like,

so I'm just gonna check
that again, OK?

You still working?

At the resort.
Mm-hm.

- No heavy lifting?
- Just cleaning rooms.

When is Phil due back?

Soon.

Fi, why didn't you tell me
about Phil?

I haven't told anyone.
Not even Pete.

You know, stress is something
that you can pass on

to the child that you're carrying.

You can't bottle this up, Fi.

- I'm just ashamed, I guess.
- Why?

Phil is the one who is being
a bloody idiot. Not you.

No, he's no good.

Never was.

You know, sometimes we don't think
that we can get through these things.

But we do.

Now, listen, your blood pressure
is still too high.

You're going to have to take it easy.

I can't afford to.

Phil's stopped sending money.

OK. Then we will organize
a Supporting Mother's Benefit.

- I am not a charity case, Sam.
- It's not charity.

It's just what you're entitled to.

Listen, Fi, there is a whole
courtyard out there

full of your good mates
who would do anything to help you.

If you keep these stress levels up,

if you refuse to accept
their support and my help,

then you're only gonna harm
your baby.

Huh?

So let me help you, huh?

Yep.

We'll work it out.

We'll work it out.

Good boy. You're OK, mein Liebling.

- Is it too late for a career change?
- For you?

No, you.
Maybe you're not cut out for this.

Why, because all these people
don't like me very much?

You could make an effort.

I am. Just not what
this clinic's used to.

I work best under extreme pressure.
Efficiency is my strength.

As opposed to people skills?

(BABY GURGLES)

You need to look at Mum again. She's dizzy.
Her temperature's gone up.

These are normal symptoms of the flu.
Has she started the antivirals?

You're not listening to me.

I might be just a nursing aide,
but I know my mother.

Something is really wrong.

And I know what I'm doing.
Rest, fluids, medication.

She'll be fine.

- Nice try.
- What?

Quick! Inside.
There's a patient waiting.

Yeah, alright.

G'day, Dad.
Hey, Darl.

What's up?

Oh, tell you later, eh?

GUS: You're stealing eggs
off my snakes off my island?

LIAM: - Hey, chill, Gusso.
- Don't call me that, mate.

JOSIE: It wasn't stealing,
it was collecting.

It was poaching.

Yeah, that's what I told them.

OK, OK, but there's been
no harm done.

I put the eggs in the nest.
Everything's sweet.

- I made him put them back.
- Ah.

Hey, hang on, you go on in your blog
about most herpers buy their snakes

from pet shops and they don't bother
handling them in the wild.

I was following your example, Gus.
You were my inspiration.

That's so not cool, Liam.
It's against the code.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

And then what happened?

You gotta let it all out.

I've got all day.

Well, I basically just told him

that I didn't wanna be
a cardiothoracic surgeon

or any kind of specialist.

You know, I wanted to study
tropical medicine.

And, who knows, maybe end up

in South America or something,
treating an Amazonian tribe.

And that didn't go down too well?

You know, my father's idea
of doctoring involves

a Collins Street address
and diagnosing via mobile phone

from the 18th green of a golf course.

(LAUGHS)

Ooh.

What? Why are you smiling like that?

You just keep shifting around
in your seat. Is anything sore?

No, no.

Having a bit of trouble
taking a whiz lately?

(SIGHS)

You're thinking it's your prostate,
right?

You worried about the test?

I haven't thought about anything
else for the past three weeks.

Barry, you should have just told me
from the start, mate.

Well, a bloke needs
to feel comfortable

with a fella if he's gonna...
trust him with a...

(CLEARS THROAT) ..rubber glove.

LAURIE: So, uh, you want me
to call the mainland coppers?

- Nah, just get them off the island.
- Not who I thought you were, Gus.

Online, you make catching snakes
exciting. Heroic.

- Sexy.
- I wouldn't go that far, Jose.

It's to promote venom research, Liam,

not to encourage people
to poach reptiles.

Alright, you two. Let's go.

Ah, yep. OK.

(WHISPERS) Liam,
you've got to tell them.

Tell us what?

NELL: Come on, guys.
We've gotta evacuate the building.

If we could just move outside
as quickly and calmly as possible.

Come on.

It's not your fault, pumpkin.

How were you supposed to know
baby brown snakes are poisonous?

- Venomous.
- Whatever.

Uh, what is happening?

Gus?

Yo!

Have you lost a snake?

Juvie Eastern Brown.
It's a long story.

Let me guess, the guy in the "herping
for idiots" get-up is involved?

Are you gonna stand there
and ask questions

or help me look for this snake?

Livvy said that they're friends
of yours, from the internet.

No, technically, they're fans.

Fans?

Right, so they've been following
our work on the website

and they've just had to
make the trip out here?

I might have sent
some confusing messages

out of the forum on my new blog.

Your forum on the new blog?

Ah, ah!

Why do I keep looking
in dark scary places

and you're just up there
looking at benchtops?

(CLEARS THROAT)
Gus, blog. Explain.

I'm just trying
to up our profile, Sam.

Give us a sexy, exciting, new image

that attracts funding
like all those other venom docs.

Sexy, like, you know, as...
with your shirt off?

No, Sam. Like adventure.
You wouldn't be interested.

Gus. No, Gus... I...

I really, really would.

Ah!
Oh!

Where the bloody hell
are you, snake?

- Try...
- OK.

Don't sugar-coat it. Just give it
to me straight, Doc.

Your prostate's fine.

Arms up.

Any soreness in your kidneys?

- No.
- Blood in your urine?

Alright.

We'll run a few tests,

but my money's on
a simple urinary tract infection.

- I thought only the ladies got those.
- Wishful thinking, mate.

We'll give you some strong
antibiotics

and you'll be back to normal
in a few days.

I haven't been this relieved since
I thought I had dengue back in '95.

I had all the symptoms -
headache, fever, joint pain.

But, Hamish, he took one look at me
and he thought otherwise.

I didn't have the rash, you see.

So he diagnosed meningitis
and saved my bacon.

Rash?

Dengue fever rash.

Itches like crazy,
only I didn't have it.

Barry, I won't be a moment.

Where is everyone?
What are you doing?

Rick, there is a snake loose
somewhere in the clinic

all thanks to Gus's blog.

- What blog?
- We're all wondering that.

Oh, Barry, can you please go back

into the consulting room
and shut the door?

- What are you looking for?
- Snake, apparently.

Sam, I need a second opinion. Can
you come outside with me for a sec?

What part of "snake on the loose"
don't you understand?

- This could be an emergency.
- So could this.

Ah. You don't mean
this little thing, do you?

Ah...

Just drop it in.
What's the big deal?

It's not that much bigger
than an earthworm.

Yeah, it will still kill you.
Yeah, right.

You free to help me now?

Yeah, sure.

Where exactly has it been itchy,
Marion?

I dunno. Somewhere back there.

What makes you think
that it's a tick?

She's exhibiting symptoms
of tick paralysis.

I thought it was the flu but...
I told you it wasn't the flu.

You checked your mum
for ticks, right?

Of course I did, Sam.
We get bitten all the time.

Yeah, they can be real easy to miss.

Alicia would know what
she's looking for because she's a...

- Nursing aide?
- Yes.

I know.

Here. Look.

Look. Can you see that?

You probably missed it
because the tick's body gone.

It's just the head that's left.

It's just a tick. She's never had
a reaction like this.

Talk me through her symptoms.

Headache, fever, numbness in her
extremities, unsteady on her feet.

Sounds like she's allergic.

Maybe she built up a reaction
after being bitten so often?

Well, we will run some bloods
and do a swab test.

Then we'll get her
to the mainland hospital.

You think it's that serious?

You wanna take the risk?

No.

What did the test tell you?

That it's definitely not
tick typhus.

I'd go with your hunch and say it's
an allergic reaction to something.

Lucky, though.
Amazing, ticks, aren't they?

Something so small and innocuous

can have enough toxic saliva
to kill a person.

Thanks, Gus.

I have spoken to the hospital.
They've got the tick antivenom.

- They're sending the chopper.
- Where's Marion?

She's in the consult.

We're monitoring her for
possible anaphylactic reaction.

- How is she?
- Stable, but we've got a problem.

She is refusing outright
to go to the mainland.

- What? Why?
- She's afraid.

OK.

The last time Marion went to
the mainland was for TB treatment.

It was probably 30 years ago.

Back then, you were locked
in a control unit for six months

and given chemotherapy for your TB.

It was pretty grim stuff.
I'll have a chat to her.

Um, no. You know what? She's
my patient. She's my responsibility.

And I misdiagnosed her
in the first place.

Well, it's because of you
we caught this.

Marion.

- Not a bad call.
- Hm.

He may have the bedside manner
of a stonefish,

but there is certainly nothing wrong
with his diagnostic skills.

No, I'm not going to the mainland.

Mum, you have to do
what the doctor says.

I'm not going to
any big city hospital again.

Marion, I understand
that you're frightened,

but there's no need to be.

The treatment will be nothing like
it was for TB.

They won't lock you away
in isolation.

They'll just give you an injection,
put you on some antibiotics.

It's really simple,
but it's necessary.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

I haven't been a good doctor today.

The truth is, I've been worried

more about maintaining my schedule
than treating patients.

And I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for not listening
to you and your daughter

as well as I should have.

But you need medicine
that we don't have here

and you need it
sooner rather than later.

Do you have grandkids?

Two beautiful ones.

It's important for them, isn't it,
that you get yourself looked after?

A quick trip to the mainland,

you'll be back here
with your family before you know it.

I promise.

And I'm your doctor, right?

Thank you.

TOBY: Come on, paddle harder.

You have to make it
to the beach. Come on.

CHILD: Whoo-hoo! Faster!

Come on. Get into it.

Rescue boat's not gonna wait for ya.
That's it. Paddle harder. Come on.

(CROWD CHEERS)

Fi, just before you leave,

um, did you get those Centrelink
forms from Nell?

- I did, yeah.
- Great.

I'll be doing house calls out to
your island for the next week.

- Check you on a daily basis.
- Thank you.

Remember, you need to take it easy.

- I do, don't I?
- Yep. Yep.

Find some shade.

Mum, Mum! Look at me.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Now, he has got enough energy
for the both of you.

Barry... keep an eye on Fi for me.

- You bet.
- Ta.

Hey, tell that Dr Rick if I need
a finger up my bum again,

I know where to come.

(LAUGHS) Sure.

TOBY: We've gotta egg them on.

Give them a help out, guys.
Come on, pull them in.

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

(CROWD CHEERS)
TOBY: That's it.

So who gets to fire the flare, Toby?

Oh, well, I don't know.
We all worked together, didn't we?

So it's only fair that I fire it
for all of us. What do you think?

(KIDS SIGH AND GRUMBLE)

Oh, alright. Here you go, Pete.

You did your homework, mate,
and preparation's half the battle.

Make sure you aim him
out there to sea.

We don't want the coast guard
down on us.

Be careful, mate.

(ALL CHEER)

Well done, matey.

Give us this.

Thanks, mate.
