♪ When the sun
did rise this morning

If you're gonna perve,
at least make it less obvious.

If you're supposed to be working,
can you give me a hand?

I am working.

How much did you waste
on that metal detector?

I invested a hundred bucks.

A hundred?
It's called venture capital.

If you wanna make money,
you gotta buy the hardware.

Welcome to another exciting and
profitable idea - treasure hunting.

You've got no business brain.

Backpackers are always losing coins
and jewellery in the sand.

And I'm gonna find it.
Uh-huh. How's that working for you?

Here.

50 cents?

Wow, you're gonna be so rich!

Now you can stop working
two jobs and retire.

It just...

It just needs adjusting.
And that's where you come in.

Me? Yeah, alright, sure.

I'll calibrate it for you.

For 20% of everything you find.

In your dreams. 5%?

10, and that's my final offer.

Deal.

I'd have gone with 12.

I'd have gone with the five.

Thank you.

What were you saying about
my business brain?

Can you help me with this?

Oh, hi. Whose is that?
It's Nell's. What's all this?

Spring cleaning
and major de-cluttering

before the wet season.

And I felt the need to reaffirm
my connection with the kitchen.

Oh, Mum, you can't throw this out.

Jack, he has been devoured
by white ants, black ants,

moths, cockroaches,
a wasp even built a nest in him.

Hey, uh, what's this?

Oh, that is some of
your grandad's things.

I didn't wanna throw it out so I'm
just moving it to... another cupboard.

But you are happy
to throw my stuff out.

These are his marine charts.

I used to love it
when he'd show me these.

Used to have scribbles all over it.
Water depths.

Tidal flows.

He spent years compiling
all of this stuff.

He even had this amazing theory

that, uh, the Portuguese landed here
before Captain Cook.

Mum, do you mind if I have
a look through this?

Maybe show these to Toby?

I know he'll get a kick out of this.

Sure.

She looks like she can swim a bit.
In training.

After this, it's the Bondi to Bronte
Ocean Swim challenge.

She takes it all pretty seriously.

Then we head for
the Rottnest Channel.

I did the Southern Ocean Swim
when I was 23. Damn near killed me.

Whatever happened
to playing netball?

Very funny, Dad.
How did I go this time?

Water.

Hydration is the key
to long-distance ocean swimming.

Give it to Dad. He needs it more.

Don't stay in the sun
if you get tired, OK?

Who's the parent here?

Good kid you've got there, Brian.
The best. You got any?

Yeah, one. Not too close, though.
Not like you, obviously.

You got a daughter who still wants
to go on holiday with you.

You must have done something right.

A lot of it's down to my wife.
Well, then you've both done good.

Got any other kids?
Two boys.

Oh. They keen on hanging out
with the old man?

Been away with each of them
one on one.

Aw, I see. They, uh,
don't get on together, eh?

Nah, they're all good mates.

I just wanted to spend
a bit of time with each of them.

Kind of a bucket list.

Coming here to train was Emma's idea.

Sorry, mate. Didn't mean to pry.
Small island, you know.

Didn't mean to be a downer.

I've got type 2 diabetes.

Multiple sclerosis.

Treatable?

I give myself daily injections
to try to stop the progress.

But it's not a cure.

Andrew rang.
Oh, OK.

He wanted to know
if we've ever had a patient

with a centipede envenomation.

Not in my time. Dad might have.

We don't have biting centipedes
on the island, do we?

No, no, no, that's fine, Andrew.
We can do that.

Thanks, Sam. I know it's
an unusual request, even for you.

Yeah, and you spooked Livvy.
Sorry.

Before you go, I understand
you spoke to James again.

About the funding?

Yes.
And?

I told him what I told you, Andrew.

I will not give my data to Malcolm
and that is that.

Alright, we'll talk.
OK.

Do you need me?
No, not yet.

Rick has the first three covered.
Oh.

Gus! Do you feel like
a bug hunt tomorrow?

Always. For what?

The university want to buy
some centipede venom.

Centipedes. I hate centipedes.

I thought that it was eight legs
that you didn't like?

Yeah, well,
a hundred's gotta be worse.

You really think this is
gonna be the 'Esperanca'?

You wanted provenance.

I have clients who would sell
their grandmothers

for a piece of shipwreck history
like this.

Well... I prefer the cash.

So do I.

And now that we have proof
that this is the 'Esperanca',

every artefact triples in value.

We'd best protect the evidence then.

OK.

Trust me, it'll work now.

I've got something already!

Hold this.

Didn't you set this so it doesn't
detect beer-bottle caps?

Hey! Haven't you people
ever heard of bins?

Shhh. Sorry, did you want the 'gold
and jewellery only' setting, did you?

Hey, who's Toby with?

Uh... backpacker?

She doesn't look like a backpacker.
And that's not a very big pack.

Scuba diver?

She so ain't getting wet.

Oh, shit!
Toby's got a girlfriend.

No way!

Definitely a girlfriend.

- Isn't she exhausted yet?
- Energy of youth.

She'll swim all day,
dance half the night.

Surprised you were still here.
Not that it's any of my business.

I should have headed back in
hours ago.

I just hate wasting time these days.

That kid of yours.
Do you get to catch up with him?

Not that it's any of my business.

He showed up recently.

After 30-odd years, he finally got
to meet his old man.

Left me his business card.

Sometimes I think it would be
good to keep in touch.

It's never too late.

I think it is.

A drink to celebrate?

Thank you.

I spoke to our client. He's very keen
to proceed with the sale.

How much will he pay for the bell?

Well, here's a down payment.

Eight and a half grand.

That's nothing to what we will get.

And we know
there's plenty more down there

for which you can write
your own cheque.

Cheers.

Before we go any further, though,

I thought we could discuss
our exit strategy.

What strategy?

Well, unless we're going
to declare the wreck...

Pay over half of everything
to the government?

So we need to make sure
we're long gone

before anyone starts
knocking on our door.

This place is now
a part of your past.

It's no longer part of your future.

Oh, come on, Toby.
It can't be a surprise to you.

I need time
to get things in order here.

You know, you and I make a good team.
Be a shame to break that up.

You know, while you're working things
out, why don't you find me a room?

Unless there's a spare bunk
on your boat?

I'll, uh... I'll find you a room.

Can I give you a hand with that?
No, thanks. No, I got it.

Where do you want it?

Oh, on the veranda, I'll get Gus
to go through it later.

Thanks.
No worries.

How have you been?

Fine.

You?
Good.

Busy?

Always.

Catch you later.

What?

Slow down.

What do you mean?

Stop scurrying around
trying to cover the whole beach.

Yeah?
Yeah.

You should measure out a grid,

so you're not covering
the same ground.

Find more that way.

Yeah. Cool. Thanks.

You're welcome.

Way to go, Jack.

I've found a dozen coins,
a watch and now this.

Oof!

Keep the money and advertise
the rest for a finder's fee.

Nell, you have got some initiative.

Well, gotta keep my investors happy.

Oh, you've got investors?
Well, Jack.

He's maintaining
my means of production

in return for
a profit-sharing arrangement

between employees
and management.

You're gonna run the world
one day, Nell.

That's the plan.

You like it here, don't you?

Well, I grew up here.
What's there not to like?

You've seen lots of other places.
I've been nowhere.

This place is all I've ever seen.

You know, you might travel the world,
but in the end sometimes you find

that you had it all
right there in front of you.

When I'm rich and been everywhere,
I'll definitely feel like that.

Till then, I'm not gonna
stay in this place

one day longer than I have to.

No of fence.
No, none taken.

Jack!
Uh, in here.

Here's your 10% of the cash.
Sweet, thanks.

Plus you'll get a cut
of the finder's fee on the watch.

Told you it would work.

Hey, how much do you reckon
this is worth?

Are they maps of the reef?

Yeah. Yeah.
Shipwrecks, storms, tides.

And a lot about jellyfish.

But it's in some sort of code.
It's really hard to figure out.

Kind of suits me, hey?

You're gonna hand that in, right?

What for?
Well, it's not actually yours.

Uh, it's on my actual finger.

If someone's looking for it,
then they can pay a finder's fee.

And if not, why shouldn't I have it?
Or sell it?

Because it's probably
against the law.

Yeah, what law?

I don't know.

Hey, I saw Toby's chick again
this morning on the beach.

You're always imagining stuff. You
know, they're probably just friends.

Oh, you should show
that stuff to Sonny. It's his beach.

- What are we aiming for here?
- Ideally?

The giant centipede.

Big forcipules, nasty bite
and a lot of venom.

How nasty are we talking?

Rippling pain. Numbness for
a few days. Nausea and vomiting.

And the swelling level, well,
that depends on the victim.

OK, well, I'm not planning on
getting bitten.

Oh, Gus, every time you get
interested in a new specimen,

you can't help yourself.

You get overexcited and wham!
You get a chunk taken out of you.

Sam.
Don't 'Sam' me.

Have you got them this time?
OK, pack them.

So do you reckon this bug hunt
is a ploy from Malcolm?

What do you mean?

Getting Andrew to keep us distracted

while he hijacks
our ulcer cream trials?

That thought never crossed my mind.

So what do we do?

We do our own tests,

and then we can thank Malcolm
for the idea.

Can you...? Ta.

Do you know anything
about laws on lost property?

Oh. Nell, right?
She gave me the pitch this morning.

Wanted to know if I wanted to invest.

Did she tell you she's gonna sell
the stuff she finds?

I mean, is that legal?

You're the internet generation, mate.
Look it up.

I did. It depends on the situation.

But just because you find something,
it doesn't make it yours.

You've gotta at least try to find
the true owners, right?

Yeah, sure.
Hey, Toby.

We found some of
Grandad's old charts.

Mum said he had some really

interesting theories about
shipwrecks.

He thought the Portuguese came here
to this island before the English.

I've looked it up and the Portuguese
were in Timor in the 18th century.

Maybe they came exploring here.

You're always diving at Angel Reef.

Can you take me with you?
I'd love to have a look.

If there was a shipwreck,
someone would have found it by now.

Not if it's as old
as Grandad says it is.

Look, he wrote that hundreds of
hurricanes shifted the ocean floor

and that any wreck
would be scattered.

You won't find anything.

I'd still like to come with you.

Mate, if you wanna go
on a wild-goose chase

hunting sunken ships,
do it on your own time.

I've got a business to run.

Hello, I waited up for you
last night. You didn't show.

Well, I... I got caught up
with a few things.

Can you remember
having that much energy?

Oh. Sorry, mate.
Foot-in-mouth syndrome.

Even without the MS
and 20 years younger,

I'd never have the stamina
to do that.

Hey! Watch out!

Emma! Emma!

Emma!

Hello. Hope Island Clinic.
Can I help you?

Yep. Got that.
Is she still in the water?

Uh-huh. Is she breathing?
No, no, that's fine.

Just tell them please do not move her
again if at all possible.

Get them to support
her neck and head,

and then wait for us,
do you understand?

Nell. Sonny's beach.
Swimmer versus kayak.

Can you get Rick? I'm gonna ring Sam.
Yeah. No, we're on our way.

Ethmostigmus rubripes.

Can't be too 'ethmostigmus',

otherwise we would have found it
by now.

Yeah.

This is its habitat.

No wonder no-one wants to research
them. You can't bloody find them.

Oh, damn.

Hey, Livvy, what's up?

Yep, OK, we're on our way.

Alright, this is Emma.
She was hit in the water by a kayak.

GCS - 15. Possible internal injury,
suspected forearm fracture.

Her breathing is equal and regular.
Heart rate - 90.

Thanks, Sonny.

Emma, we're going to move you
onto a stretcher.

And to do this we need you to stay
completely still. Do you understand?

- Yeah.
- We're gonna roll her.

On my count of three. Thanks.

One, two, three.

Alright, Emma, we're gonna take you
up to the vehicle. On three, lift.

Nell, how far away is
the medivac chopper?

Well, we're next in line,
but it's gonna be some time.

OK, Sonny, do you mind
sticking around

in case we need an extra pair
of hands with the dad?

Sure.
Ta.

Heart rate's up. Not surprising,
given what she's been through.

Uh-huh.

All her other vitals
are within normal limits.

We're just going to keep her comfortable
until the medivac chopper arrives.

That's all you're doing?
That's all we're equipped to do.

When the crew arrive,
they'll take it from there.

Rick, she's very short of breath.

- Chest is hyper-resonant.
- She's becoming restless.

Is she hurt worse
than we thought?

- She was breathing OK on the beach.
- Blood pressure's dropping.

What's happening?

Air's only entering one lung.

What's going on? Talk to me.

Heart sounds have shifted. Cyanosis.
High flow of oxygen.

Is Emma a smoker?
No. Never.

- Sonny. Thanks, just out there.
- Come on, mate.

We're just getting in the way.
Yeah, thanks.

She was fine when I checked her
on the beach.

It's a tension pneumothorax.

Should we do an emergency
chest decompression?

The long needle might hit a structure
that we don't want it to hit.

There is another option.

Sam, this is not a hospital.
We're not equipped to do that.

Well, we might just
have to improvise.

Hey, Nell!

I need you to find me something that
can hold a couple of litres of water

and, um, a length of hose
that's gonna fit onto this.

No-one's told me what's going on.

I have the right to know
what they're doing to her.

- I should be with her.
- Gus!

Sorry, Nell, I...
No, stop whatever you're doing.

I need you now.

Small hose, small hose, small hose.

Big hose. Big hose. How come
we don't have any small hose?

Are you following this?

The impact from the kayak may have
caused a tear on her lung.

Air's getting into the space
between her lung and the skin.

The trapped air puts pressure
on her lung, it collapses.

It's like blowing up a balloon
inside her body.

The pressure's increasing,
her organs are being pushed

away from the injured side.

It can obstruct blood flow
or it can block her airway.

She could suffocate.
She could suffocate.

That's my daughter in there, Sonny.

Look, there's nothing
you can do about it.

Now, Sam will fix it.
She's a good doctor.

They're all good people in there.
They know what they're doing.

Ah!

Yes!

Would this do for the water?

Oh!

Mwah!

Nell's idea. This alright?
Yeah, that's perfect, Gus.

Can you put a couple of litres
of water into that, please?

Emma, we need to release
some air from your lungs

and to do that,
we're going to insert a tube.

The tube is going to allow the air
to escape into the water tank.

The water is going to stop the air
from being sucked back in.

Just try to relax.

Dad.

Yeah, he's just outside.

Pl... Please, I don't want anything
to happen to him.

Well, that's OK.
We'll keep an eye on him.

It was my job to walk the shoreline,
sight her course.

I was supposed to be watching out
for her.

She trusted me to make decisions
to keep her safe.

And we worried about sharks
and jellyfish.

I can't believe
I didn't see this coming.

I should never have brought her
to this island.

Brian, you're not going in there.
Don't even think about it.

Look, I know the way you feel.
I know why you blame yourself.

But this is not the way to fix it.

Come on. Get some fresh air.
Come on.

- How's this looking?
- Can you feel that, Emma?

No.

The area's anaesthetised.
OK. Administering nitrous oxide.

Alright. And a scalpel.
We all ready to go?

- Mm-hm.
- Here you go.

Thank you.

OK. Clamp.

Oh, get that... tube, Rick.
OK.

OK.

Tell me about the rest
of your family.

Those boys of yours,
what are they like?

They're fine.
Take after you?

They're nothing like me.

I bet they're a lot like you.

They're nothing like me.

They're not selfish bastards
for a start.

You think I'm father of the year
or something.

I was a crap dad.

I told you a lot of
the credit's down to my wife?

Well, it's all down to her.
Hey, hey, hey, mate.

When they were kids,
I'd be away for months working.

Then I wouldn't be in any hurry
to get back home.

Emma? I reckon I was around
for maybe three of her birthdays.

Well, she's here with you now.

I eventually realised what
a selfish piece of work I was,

and I asked them to give me
a second chance.

And they did. Just like that.

I swore I'd make it up to them
for the time I wasted.

Then... I got the MS.

And I realised I wasn't gonna have
as much time as I thought.

Now I may not even have that much.

Oh, come on.

Aspirated air is clearing.

Respiration rate's improving.
That's amazing.

Alright, Doctor.

OK, the stitching is the hardest part
of doing the chest drain.

It's all yours.

Dad. Is my dad alright?

I'll get him for you.

Thanks, Doctor.

So we'll keep Emma
under close observation

until we can medivac her
out of here tonight.

Sure, OK. Thanks.

Sorry if I was difficult.
I have a son. I get it.

She was actually more worried about
you than she was about herself.

Can I see her?
Yeah, of course.

He's got MS.

You OK?
Don't worry about me.

How are you?

I should have stuck with netball.
Tough as nails.

Don't know who you got that from.

Hey, Emma, how you feeling?
Alive.

I, um... I heard you do
venom research.

There's this snake serum
I read about in America.

Right, and you wanna know if it has
any benefits for your dad's MS?

That serum is a long way
from being useful yet.

Modern medicine, love -
it gets better every day.

There's definitely a chance.

Hey, Sam, check this out.

Ethmostigmus rubripes.
Giant centipede.

You went back?

For me?

Well, it does say, "World's greatest
reptile hunter" on my business card.

Yeah, it doesn't count.
You gave yourself that title.

So did you get any venom?

Yield?

A 16-centimetre centipede
gave us 2 grams.

That is twice as much
as a funnel web,

and twice as much as
we're going to give Malcolm.

Did try to fight me for a little bit

and then it just sat back
and accepted its fate.

Did you get bitten?

Ye of little faith.
Of course I didn't get bitten.

That's a pity. Would have been nice
to have a new envenomation to study.

You know, Gus Cochrane, you are going
to be running this lab soon.

Who says I'm not already?

How did you know what to do
with the milking?

Got a PhD in guesswork.

You guessed, really?

I lie. I cheated.

I figured out the, uh, internet
has many uses. Ahem.

"Avoiding copulation,

male centipedes drop their sperm
in bundles,

"which they hope
females will stumble onto

"and use to impregnate themselves.

"In some species the male performs

"a little courtship dance
to point to his bundle.

"In other centipedes, the male just
strolls away hoping for the best."

You're making that up.

Oh, my god. That is insect porn.

Big day. Drinks are on the house.

Since when are you suddenly
Mr Moneybags?

You'll be shouting the whole bar
if you're not careful.

There's a lot you don't know
about me, Dr Stewart.

Oh. Secret millionaire?

Well, I have these
tropical ulcer cream trials

that I would love for you to fund.

Hi. I'm Erica.

Actually, I think we noticed
each other last time I was here.

That's right.
I saw you on the mainland too.

Right.

I hear that you're Toby's accountant?

I am an accountant, yes.

And Toby has a very
interesting portfolio.

I didn't think that
that was your kind of thing.

Oh, you'd be surprised.

So how do you two know each other?

We share an island.

Nice to meet you.

Thanks for the drink.

Ooh.

Now I know why you like it here.

I think I better go and check
how Brian and Emma are.

I'll get you a drink.

Is Erica your girlfriend?

Who's asking?

Me. Obviously.

And, you know, everyone.

Well, 'everyone' can back off
and mind their own bloody business.

Alright.

Figured you might be hungry.
Thanks.

How is she?

Oh, Rick seems happy.

Hell of a holiday, eh?

At least it's memorable.

Now listen, if I don't see you
before the chopper arrives,

you look after yourself.

And that family of yours.

You too.

It's never too late.

Yeah.

Jack?

Angel Reef.

Your grandad was
a very complicated man.

Bringing up a little girl
didn't come naturally to him.

He stung you with Irukandji venom,
Mum. That's messed up.

Even as a kid, I understood why.

It was his gift, inspiring people
to believe in his work.

You know, there's not
just shipwrecks here.

There's a lot of information about
jellyfish and their food sources.

See, I knew that teaching you how
to read would come in handy one day.

Mum, I don't think Toby's with
Erica. She's not his type.

She's pretty.
So are you.

I mean, I think that...

You know, to other people,
to older people, you're very...

You are... I mean, you are very...

Mmm. So you think that I am
a yummy mummy? Hm?

Just... forget I said anything.

Sure. Sure.

I don't know what you're up to, son.

I'm leaving in an hour.
I'll need your decision.

Don't push me, Erica.

You know, I could just hire marine
surveyors to scour the ocean floor.

You still wouldn't have the bell.

You know, I remember
when I first met you.

You were having counselling

and trying to live off
a Defence Force pension.

Now, if you wanna go back to that,
then be my guest.

But if you want a real life,

you're not gonna have it
staying on this island.

Time's up.

You have to make up your mind.
