Hey.

Hey.

Won't be much longer.

It's alright. I can come back.
No, really, don't go. I'm done.

You should have come for a swim
with me this morning.

- The water was beautiful.
- Yeah. I slept in.

I know. Just like
my little brothers.

They never want to get up either.

All yours, sleepyhead.

What?

It's your first day off

and you're going to spend it
chained to a computer?

No. Sonny has offered to show me

a special part of the reef this
afternoon.

Just wanted to share
with my family.

It's a bit late, isn't it?

I tried earlier.
They're still not answering.

- Well, maybe they're at dinner.
- Yeah.

It's weird being on
this side of the world.

Everything is just...
upside down.

Hey. What's for breakfast?

Don't you ever eat at home?

If you're not doing anything this
morning, why don't you come with us?

- Where are you going?
- Up to the rainforest.

How do you feel
about creepy-crawlies?

I share my room with a gecko
and a stick insect.

We are going after whistling spiders.

- Do they really whistle?
- Yeah, like this.

- Arggh!
- I had, uh, tarantulas.

And they get really cranky
when you don't handle them properly.

- What do you mean with 'cranky'?
- They bite.

No, but they're awesome.

I mean, they've got this massive
leg span and these mega fangs.

- Right, Gus?
- Yeah.

Yeah.

What?

- Gus is not really a big fan of the spider.
- Ok. Thanks for dobbing.

I don't believe you.
You're not afraid of anything.

I didn't say
I was afraid, though, did I?

I just have something
seriously wrong with chicks

that have eight legs
and eat their mates.

But they have this incredible
insecticidal neurotoxin.

And it is venom to die for.

- Unfortunate choice of words.
- So you want to come?

- Um, yeah.
- I can come too.

I don't have school.

Weren't you doing
a job for Toby today?

- That can wait.
- No, it can't.

Because he pays you $10 an hour

and you owe me
$89 in downloads.

Well, pay me
to catch spiders, then.

How can I put this? No.

Alright, we're gonna go.
Let's go. Ok.

'Bye.

Ah.

So how big
is the colony?

Last time it rained,
we found almost, what, 200 specimens?

- Yeah.
- Whoa! That's a lot of spiders.

It flushed them right
out of their Burrows.

They must like it up here, huh?

It's a good
little neighbourhood.

If they get the munchies,

there is a smorgasbord
right on their doorstep.

But what's interesting is that they
haven't always been on this island.

How did they get here?

- Parachute.
- Yeah, right.

No, it's true.
Tell her, Gus.

Mygalomorph spiderlings
disperse aerially

by ballooning
over a long distance.

Now, can we please talk about
something else?

It's not far to go now.

The spider colony
is just on the other side.

- Coming?
- Yeah, yeah.

After you.

What are you
doing down there?

Making more room.

You don't need more room.
You need a bigger boat.

You've got enough gear
to run the bloody Navy.

You never know
when you might need it.

Specially if you're doing
something dodgy.

Instead of standing around
making a nuisance of yourself,

what about you make me
a cup of coffee?

- Are you gonna tell me what you're up to?
- Black. No sugar.

Well, one thing I do know. You don't
need all this gear to poach abalone.

And if you expect me
to look out for you

when you're diving out there alone,
then I've got a right to know.

You worry too much, old man.

Long as you don't
get caught doing...

whatever it is you're doing.

I won't even ask you
where the money's coming from

to pay for this stuff.

I thought you were
staying for lunch.

Eat it yourself.
Hope it chokes you.

I've got a date.

- Hey, Sonny.
- Ah!

They don't like
being dug out of their Burrows.

Yeah. Yep, yep.

Got him.

You're not so tough,
are you, mate?

Now, the venom in those fangs,

that can kill insects, lizards,
frogs, even cats and dogs.

- Wow!
- Yeah.

- Just make sure the lid's nice and tight.
- Yes, Gus. Nice and tight.

Ok, so, how many
do we have now?

Uh, five.
How many do we need?

Five's fine. Five's enough, surely.
No, there should be six.

Uh... yeah.
Yeah.

So one of them
must have got a...

Gus...

No.

Don't move.

No. No.

Get it off me!
Get it off me now!

Gus!

Gus?

Oh, no! Oh!

Are you ok?

No, I'm not ok.

- I've fallen into Gympie Stinger.
- Stay still and don't touch it.

I'll go down.
No!

Not unless you want to
end up the same way.

This is all your fault.

And I am very, very sorry.

Forget sorry
and just get me some help!

No!

Alright. Head forward.

Leave it, Livvy. Just let it ring.

Damn!

Ok, Jack.

Hey, it works.
Course it works.

Who do you think
you're dealing with, an amateur?

You can see in total darkness with
this. It has gyro stabilisation.

Yeah, well,
I need a steady picture

if I'm out there
rocking and rolling.

Look at this - "navigation,
collision avoidance,

man-overboard recovery,

"vessel-in-distress detection"
and anti-terrorism".

About the only thing it doesn't do
is the dishes.

Alright. That's one hour.

Instead of paying me, can you take
Freya and I out to see the reef?

You won't get far
for 10 bucks, mate.

Well, I'll work the rest off.

Oh, you want credit now, do you?

Come on. She's been here for weeks
and she's hardly seen anything.

Keep your money, mate.
Sonny's beaten you to it.

Nobody told me.

There any reason why they should?

It's your mum.

How are you going?

How do you think?

I got stung many times by nettles
back in Europe. They really hurt.

Yeah, not like this, you didn't.

Think stinging nettle
and then think Jurassic version.

Ouch!

Ah!

Sorry.

- Just slow down!
- Crawling.

Take it easy.
We'll get you down.

Get away from me. Haven't you
done enough damage today?

Gus.

How many times
can I say that I'm sorry?

- Not enough.
- At least let me help...

You can't help me.
Just... everyone stay away from me.

Arggh!

- Gus. What's going on?
- Don't touch me.

- He fell into a stinger bush.
- Ouch!

Ask Sam why.

Oh, what happened here,
a massacre?

- We've got a bleeder.
- Oh.

Can we move him into the consult room
and get the surgery ready?

What were you doing there?
Catching spiders. It's my day off.

Hello! I'm in pain here!

Wait, wait -
since when do students

get the day off to go spider hunting
when doctors are still on duty?

Paracetamol.

Yeah, I'm on it.

Uh, what can I do?

We need hydrochloric acid, water
and paper towels.

Lots of them.

Yeah.

Does he have to do this?

Apparently.

Oh, man. That is bad.

We get about six cases
of this a year.

It's a common rainforest plant,
but out of all the species,

the Gympie Stinger has
the most nasty cocktail of poisons.

The neurotoxins that interfere

with the electrical activity
of the nerves

are in those thousands
of hollow silica hairs.

Have a look.

Which work like
self-injecting hypodermic needles.

Puncturing his skin
right through his clothes. Wow!

So we irrigate with
a 30% hydrochloric acid stock

diluted to a 15% working solution.

To neutralise the stingers?

Destroy the protein base
of the hairs.

Would everyone
stop breathing on me, please?

Why can't we just give him a shot
of something heavy-duty?

Because we have no idea
how it'll react

to whatever else has been
pumped into his bloodstream.

Ok, Gus, this is going
to sting a bit. Are you ready?

- Oh, what a stupid question, Sam.
- Of course I'm not ready.

- What are they doing in there?
- You don't want to know.

How's that feel?

You've got magic hands.

The nasal spray I used
helps constrict the blood vessels,

so you should only need the packing
for another hour.

- Thanks.
- You're welcome.

Grab a seat there, and then we'll
organize your follow-up appointment.

Just one more thing.

Don't suppose you'd like
to go for a drink later?

That is very sweet of you, Brad,
but, um... I never date patients.

Has the hydrochloric eased the pain?

Yeah, tiptop, Sam.
Ready to kick arse.

The acid should have
neutralized the stingers.

So we are ready to move on
to the next stage.

Ok. Well, I'd start with the back.
It won't hurt as much as other bits.

Gus, we're just going to need to wait
for your body heat to soften the wax

so we can get a really good grip
on the hairs.

You know,
if it's any consolation, mate,

your skin is gonna be as smooth
as a baby's bottom.

- Oh, does he have to be here?
- Come on, Gus.

Body builders wax themselves
all the time. It can't be that bad.

What?

Was I being insensitive?

Do you really need to ask?
Have you ever had a Brazilian?

Or a Hollywood?

That's your choice.

Excuse me.
Alright, so that should be ready.

Ok, Gus.
On the count of three.

One...

- Are you ready?
- Ready for what?

You said you'd help me
with my homework.

- Oh, that was two days ago.
- Yeah, well, now it's urgent.

Since when do you care
about homework?

Since they said
they're gonna fail me

if I don't finish it
by this afternoon.

I need to stick around here.

But we have a class today.

I'm not going.

Uh... you're being weird.

What's so weird about taking
a day off school once in a while?

You never skip school. That's me.
I'm the one who wags.

Look, I want to do
some research.

Gympie Stinger?
I can tell you all about that.

My dad's seen it lots of times.

He says it's the worst
kind of pain you can imagine.

No, no, no. Stop, stop, stop.
I need a break. I need a break.

Gus, the sooner we get them out,
the sooner you'll get some relief.

I feel like a lab rat. I mean,
does everyone have to be in here?

Can't I have a little bit of
privacy? I can manage.

Ok. Show's over.

Everyone out.

Except for Livvy.
Hey, Sam.

There's six spiders in the lab
that need milking.

Or is that five?

Oi. What happened to you?

Oh, Sonny, I'm so sorry.

I...Forgot.

Forgot? What are you trying to do,
break an old man's heart?

Can we still go snorkeling?
Yeah. Everything's in the moke.

Hey, Freya, get going
before something else happens.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Yeah, yep. We'll look after things
here. You go have a good time.

- Come through.
- Come on, let's go. Come on.

Freya?

Are you not gonna stick around
and see what happens with Gus?

Livvy takes care of him.

Yeah, but he's in
the worst pain imaginable.

I've done
a lot of research for you.

Horses have gone so crazy,
they've jumped off cliffs.

Well, he's lucky that Gus
isn't a horse. Come on, let's go.

Hey, I can come with you.
I'm not doing anything today.

I'll see you later, Jack.

- What's going on with Jack?
- Nothing.

Oh, Sonny, come on.
Have I done something wrong?

Course you haven't.

All those hormones
running amok.

He doesn't need any encouragement
to get a crush.

I think of Jack as a little brother.

It didn't occur to me that he
doesn't... think of...

Oh! Oh!

Ah, he'll get over it.

You're out here
to relax and enjoy yourself.

You're right.

It's nice to get away
from the clinic for a while.

Don't let anyone make you feel
guilty about taking time off.

You deserve it.
You work hard.

By 'anyone', you mean Rick?

- Thought you two were getting on fine.
- Oh, so did I.

- He obviously got a problem with me.
- Nah. It's not personal.

No, my bet is he got ridden pretty
hard when he was a student.

But then he should know how it feels
and give me a break.

He can be a bit of
a ratbag sometimes.

Uh, ratbag. What's that?

Oh, nothing good, love.
You know, full of yourself.

Don't think about anybody else,
just out for what you can get.

'Ratbag'. That's a super word.
Rick's a ratbag. I like it.

You're a right little stirrer, you
are.

How much longer
is Freya staying?

Well, her placement is for six
months. So you work that out.

It's not very long.

Some rotations are only three.

But she could come back, though,
couldn't she?

Yeah. One day, maybe, yeah.

Why?

Just asking.

Eventually, she'll probably
want to go home.

Can't do tropical medicine
in Germany.

Peter. Peter... Curtis.

What?

I had a crush on Peter
in year 12.

He was the dux of the school,
and I'd won the chemistry prize,

so, of course, everybody thought
that we were made for each other.

- I don't think I want to hear this.
- He used to drive me home from school.

And then we'd jump into the back seat
and... you know, we'd hold hands.

- No! It's too much information.
- I thought that he was so cute.

Is there a point to this?

Until I kissed him.

He had the worst breath.

Jack, we've all had
a thing for someone.

Oh, that is pathetic!

Couldn't you do
any better than that?

I'll be back.

Gus.

Look at this.

You normally get
more venom than that, don't you?

Go away
and let me die in peace.

You can die later. I need to know.
Why are they holding out on me?

They hate you because
you played a mean trick on me.

I'm sorry.

I'm very, very sorry.

But now I need some advice.
Please?

Blow on 'em.
Hey?

Blow on them. They don't like
the wind for some reason.

It makes them angry.

Oh, we want angry.
Angry's good.

Thanks!

- Ok.
- Alright.

Come on, baby, give it up.

That's it.

That's it.

Gus is a genius.

Better go back in there
and tell him.

No. He'll get a big head.

Do you want to give me a hand
with the next one?

Yeah, sure.

Might help keep your mind
off other things.

So your mother's German
and your father's an American?

- Oil executive?
- Yep.

That's why our family
moved so many times.

Oh, so you're a gypsy.

You get used to it.

No tears?
No regrets?

Sometimes.
Mmm.

So now you know all about my family.
What about yours?

Oh, well, I haven't got one.
Not officially anyway.

I mean...

I was stoned for two decades.
How do you expect me to remember?

- Oh, my God! What happened to you?
- Shark.

Took a few nibbles
of my board, didn't like it,

then he had a go at me.

Looks like he had
a good go at you, huh?

Yeah, well.

I never did surf again.

Professionally anyway.

That must have been hard,
to lose your dream.

Hell, no.

Sonny.

Well... maybe I felt sorry
for myself for a bit, but...

No. If it hadn't happened,
I'd have never ended up here.

Probably would have sat around

smoking too much weed
and going to the devil.

Come on, fraulein.
Let's have a look at this reef.

Ah!

What do you reckon?

It's terrific.

Thank you so much
for bringing me out here.

One of the most beautiful things
I've ever seen.

The only natural wonder
that you can see from space.

- Truly?
- Yeah.

- Wow!
- I've been up there.

- You've been up there?
- Yeah. In the shuttle.

You're pulling my leg!

Can't see any more stingers.

Think it's time
for the lignocaine.

Those are the sweetest words
I've ever heard.

Ohh...

Has anyone ever told you
you've got magic hands?

Not in the last one hour and 45
minutes.

- The bleeder guy, right?
- That's the one.

Bet he hit on you.

He asked me out for a drink.

Are you going?

I told him it would be
unprofessional.

Good work.

And besides, I'll be on duty,

looking after you.

Mmm.

Oh! That was unbelievable!

How about that big Cod
and those cute little clownfishes?

Sonny?

Sonny!

Sonny?

Sonny?

Sonny!

Sonny, can you hear me? Sonny!

Sonny?
Sonny, can you hear me?

Sonny?

Come...

Sonny?

Oh!

Sonny? Sonny!

Sonny?

You gonna get that?

Rick?

Hope island clinic. Dr Rick.

Whoa, whoa. Who is this?
Freya!

Freya. Speak English.

I need to talk to Sam.
It's Sonny.

Yeah. Um, Sam?

Sonny's in trouble.

- Who is it?
- It's Freya.

- Freya, what's happened?
- Sam, Sonny is in trouble.

Just slow down.

He passed out
while we were snorkeling.

I managed to get him to shore.

What are his vitals?
His breathing is shallow.

And his heart rate is elevated.

Is he conscious?

Altered level of
consciousness responding to pain.

He comes to for a moment,
then he's out again, Sam.

I don't know what to do.

Ok. I need my bag and the resus pack.
Freya, Sonny is a type 2 diabetic.

His blood sugar levels
have dropped.

Get me the glucometer and the
glucagon pen. It's in the fridge.

Ok, he's having
a hypoglycaemic event.

Can you get some sugar into him?

Chocolate, soft drink,
anything sweet.

Yes.

Rick, throw in a D5W. We might need
to put a peripheral line in.

Freya, we are on our way. You just
need to keep doing what you're doing.

Ok.

Ok, Rick. Let's go.

Sonny?

Sonny.
You need to drink this.

Sonny!

You need to drink it.
Come on, Sonny.

That's it. That's it.

Sonny. Here you go.

Swallow it.

Sonny?

Sonny, can you hear me?

Ok, we're gonna give you
some oxygen.

Here you go.

Need to take some deep breaths.

Sonny.

He's out of it.

Check his blood sugar.

Freya!

Blood sugar.

Hey. Doing really well.

Ok?

How low is it?

1.5.

Right, we're gonna
need the stretcher.

I've got this.
You did a good job, ok?

How the hell
did you manage that?

He must weigh
almost two of you.

Not in the water.

Yeah, but pulling him out, dragging
him all the way up the beach...

Sonny? Gonna have a little bit
of a sharp stab here, mate.

Ok.

Ok.

Sonny? Hey.

You haven't been
testing yourself, have you?

No.

Crazy old man.

Try and get some sleep.

I'll be back later on
to put some more cream on.

You won't forget me?

No, Gus, I won't forget you.

She drives like a bloody lunatic.

- He has not stopped whingeing.
- He must be feeling better, then.

Would you stop making
such a bloody fuss?

I've told you. I'm not staying here.
I'm sleeping in my own bed.

It is either here or the mainland
hospital. Take your pick.

I've got a business to run.

Right, that is it.
Into bed with you.

- Just stood up a bit fast.
- Right, mate.

Your blood pressure's low.
That's why you're dizzy.

How were you feeling
before you passed out?

Bit funny.

I'm guessing
that's not funny ha-ha.

- Don't be so smart.
- I'm all out of patience with you.

This is the second time
you have had an episode.

I am changing your medication.

I told you, I don't want
anything to do

with something called lizard spit.

Sonny, it is a synthetic version
of a protein from lizard's venom,

and it's far more effective
than your current medication.

I...I can't bear the thought
of giving myself injections.

Oh, don't be such a sook.

It is much easier
than it's ever been.

They're having some really good

results with this - it'll stop you
having all of these highs and lows.

And you might even
lose some weight.

- I'll think about it.
- No, you won't.

You'll do as you're told
for a change.

Any further objections, you can
leave them in writing on my desk.

Hey, hang on.

I want her in charge of me.

Me? But I'm a student.

I don't care.

Well... I do.

I've just heard you talk back to
Sam. You're impossible.

Well, no-one's perfect.

If I'm going to look after you,
and that's a big if,

you won't talk to me like that.

Fine.

Fine by me.

Go for it.
Just give him hell.

Ok.

- How is he?
- He's stable.

I won't be too long.

Toby?

Would you do me a big favour?

If I can.

Can you keep an eye on him?

Check and see if he's taking his
medication, looking after himself?

- You want me to babysit him?
- Well, someone has to.

What makes you think
he'll, uh, listen to me?

- I know he's not your responsibility.
- No, it's not that.

Like, I'll do what I can, but...
He's a stubborn old bastard.

He's not gonna like
someone looking over his shoulder.

He knows how close
he came today.

If Freya hadn't have been there,
we would have lost him.

I just hope
that he comes to his senses.

Maybe.

You look like you could use
an early night.

Yeah.

- Did I wake you?
- No. Just dozing.

Nothing much else to do
around here.

- Now there is.
- Ooh.

Good man.

Brought you a change of clothes,
a toothbrush

and a guilty conscience.

Oh, yeah?
Fit all of that in there, did you?

I want you to stop worrying
about what I might be doing.

Mate, I know
you're up to something.

I just hope it's nothing
that you're gonna regret.

Oh, God.
You know me better than that.

Do I? Thought I did.

Alright, well, it's not drugs.

It's not abalone,
and I'm not harming the reef.

Is it illegal?

Well, it depends
on your point of view.

Oh, what's that supposed to mean?

It's all about risk and reward.

Can you go to jail for it?

- If you can't pay the fine.
- How much is that?

Oh, well...

Let's just say...

..I've got it covered.

Alright?

He's quite cute,
when he's asleep.

It's very tempting.

Don't you dare.

I'll come and check on you
in a little while.

You'll come round
and rub my back, right?

If you're lucky.

I can't leave you alone
for a second.

Mum?

Hey. Come here
and give me a hug.

Oh, now, come on.
You agreed.

Birthdays and Christmas
and special occasions.

- Sonny's gonna be ok, isn't he?
- Yeah. He's gonna be fine.

It's just been a rough day.

Well, that was 10 birthdays worth.
Or you could wipe my download debt.

No. Not a chance.

Come on. Finish it off.

Couple of more days
of properly balanced food

and you won't
know yourself, hm?

I thought this was
supposed to be a 1-night gig.

Well, you are looking...
good on paper.

Glucose leveling out,
heart rate pretty much normal,

blood pressure good,
everything else fine.

If this keeps up during the night,
there's no reason

you can't go home
in the morning, hm?

Well, I'm off.
How about you, Freya?

Sonny gonna let you out of his sight
long enough to have a drink?

Um, actually, I...

Freya. You go and relax.

It hasn't been much of a
day off for you so far.

Any arguments... and I'll sedate him.

Ok, but promise you'll be good.

- There you go.
- Thanks.

Still can't get my head around
what you did for Sonny today.

You would have done the same.
I would have tried.

Can't you swim?
I swim just fine.

I do have the worst
sense of direction, though.

Poor old Sonny would have been
towed halfway to New Zealand

before I figured out
we were lost.

You know, maybe we can
head out to the reef one day.

I'd really like that.

10 bucks an hour?
It's exploitation!

Anywhere else, I'd get 15.
Not cash in hand, you wouldn't.

12.

11. Plus free meals.

Deal.

That was too easy.

I should have started
at 20 bucks,

let him beat me down to 15.

Don't be stupid.
She's so out of your league.

I love you, you crazy old man.

I heard that.
