Original subtitles

I love you.

BETTY: Tell me about Toke.

We´re not gonna try long distance.

It´s too hard.

How was your first day back?

It was great. I´m finally on the cool table.

MATT: She gave him the wrong blood?

-What happens? -Organs start shutting down,

starting with the kidneys.

We need to turn that around before we can´t.

You´re gonna need dialysis for the rest of your life.

You ever wonder who your real dad was?

I sort of remember Mum saying he was a guy who didn´t want to be a dad.

Did you ever sleep with Callie Cross, Hugh?

Okay. Funny, ´cause you know I did.

Ajax. He´s yours.

Something´s been bothering me about those recounts, Meryl.

Is it that you lost?

WOMAN: Whyhope Police Station. How may I help you?

I have some information on the Whyhope local election.

I never destroyed the ballot boxes.

We take the boxes out of town and burn them.

Why do you have ballot boxes in your car?

[ Birds chirping ]

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

HUGH: Well, scar´s healing nicely,

but you really should´ve stayed in hospital

an extra couple of days.

If I´d known about those missing votes,

I would´ve held off the bypass.

No point in winning when you´re dead.

Also, you have to ditch that chair.

I told him.

Listen to your wife.

This chair shows the people that even heart surgery

doesn´t stop Rod Eagle working for their town.

Well, tell them while you´re walking.

Hugh, priority 1. Penny´s waiting.

Oh, hi, Sharon. Good to see you back, Mr. Eagle.

Democracy doesn´t take sickies.

That´s good. Yeah. Write that down, Shaz.

For the acceptance speech.

Ah.

Light-plane crash 200 klicks east of the highway.

So let me get this straight.

We´re going up in a light plane to a light-plane crash site.

I can´t have his conversation with you today.

Am I the only one who sees the irony here -- or the danger?

Just the only one talking about it.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

PENNY: There it is.

HUGH: Land as closely and as gently as you can, Kodie.

Very dead.

This one too.

You´d better tell the ambos there´s no need to rush.

Impact causing fatal internal trauma?

Loss of oxygen on descent?

There´s no fire.

I guess we´ve all got to go somehow, don´t we?

[ Birds chirping ]

Do you know what the official term

for an accident like that is?

-Collision with terrain. -Exactly.

Like when you trip and scrape your knee.

"Oops. I´ve had a collision with terrain."

Except from 15,000 feet.

What are the chances of two planes crashing on the same day?

It´s the exception that proves the rule.

[ Engine starts ]

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

No. I can´t! I can´t! I can´t!

Stop the plane now!

[ Engine shuts off ]

Go.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

We´ll get a lift with the ambos when they get here.

No room.

Stupid dead people.

Do you think we can hike out of here?

Probably not.

Guys, it´s a clear day.

I´ll have you back safe and sound.

Trust me.

Ready for your diazepam?

Ready.

All right, Kodie. You can start the...

[ Engine starts ]

[ Mid-tempo instrumental music plays ]

I knew they´d be your size.

Do I have to wear a uniform?

BETTY: This isn´t a uniform.

This is a signifier that you´re now an official healer.

Well, a high-school work-experience healer.

You know I haven´t actually done any courses or anything, right?

I´ve got a feeling about you.

And I have a bedpan.

You´re part of the team now, Ajax.

This could be the start of a family dynasty.

Indeed.

So, can I get you a cup of tea, Chantelle?

Or I could get Hayley to run out and get you a proper coffee.

That new café run by the girls with the tattoos

is actually very good.

No, thanks.

You know why I´m here, Meryl.

We need to talk about those electoral boxes.

Well, I think we all agree how lucky we were

that Hayley and I found the boxes.

Especially since I received an anonymous tip-off from someone

who had just seen them in the town hall

on the night that I stopped you with them in you car.

Well, that was a coincidence.

It certainly was.

I think the thing we need to take from this

is that no one thinks badly of Rod and his...negligence.

Who knew a bypass was looming?

No wonder he was distracted.

Mr. Eagle denies any knowledge of the boxes.

[ Chuckles ] Of course he would, wouldn´t he?

How embarrassing for him

that he left the boxes out in the first place.

So you´re happy for a full recount?

Last thing I want is anybody to think

that I took over this office under false pretenses.

Unless you win fairly and squarely, what´s the point?

I´m really glad you feel that way.

Bring on the recount.

Lemon myrtle.

You look so peaceful, but we´re busy.

Sorry.

Are we alive?

Oh, yeah.

[ Chuckles ] That was brilliant.

Next time we should get little chicken-and-cucumber sandwiches

waiting back here for us.

I like the way you think, Doctor.

Hey. Is that this week?

Yeah. Every day.

Oh, this is gonna be great.

Finally a work-experience kid that I don´t hate.

-Hello. -What are you doing here?

I´m visiting you, of course.

This is Carl.

Dr. Toke, this is everyone.

Everyone. Just call me Toke.

Dr. Knight. Hey.

HUGH: Hey.

Penny, maybe you´d like to recover outside,

get some fresh air.

Good plan.

[ Clears throat ]

[ Inhales, exhales deeply ]

He´s much more handsome in real life, don´t you think?

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

-Do you think he works out? -AJAX: Everyone works out.

I do weights for my shooting.

Zen do kai and water aerobics.

It´s really working for you, Ken.

We agreed not to do this.

Mm. What if I´ve changed my mind?

It´s impossible.

We live miles away from each other.

So we can visit.

I hate flying.

I have my pilot´s license.

This is Floyd´s home. I´m committed to staying.

Penny, I´ve never asked you to leave.

[ Laughing ] It´s completely ridiculous.

Oh, right. Okay.

So how come you´re giving me that little smile?

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Look. You give me one night.

If you still feel the same way in the morning, I´m out.

Okay. One night.

Yeah?

-Mm-hmm. -Mm-hmm.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

Oh, she´s coming back.

Want to see something really disgusting, Ajax?

Is it blood?

Quite possibly.

Yeah. [ Chuckles ] I do.

MATT: So this blogger journo person is coming out tomorrow

to interview the both of us about, you know, being married

and what it´s like living and working together on the farm.

That sort of thing.

Who´d want to know about other people´s marriages?

I don´t know,

but it´s a good opportunity to tell them about the glamping.

What the hell is glamping?

It´s -- It´s glamour camping.

You know -- camping, in a tent, but with luxuries.

Right.

People are gonna pay you to sleep in tents

out in the paddocks.

Are you gonna sit there and bag my plans the whole way?

I just -- I want to be prepared.

So, this, um, dialysis thing that I´m taking you to --

Is it -- Is it going okay?

Oh, it´s boring. It´s a waste of time.

It was a bit of a shock, you know?

I never really thought about...

What, me carking it?

Speaking of which, have you put any thought

into what might happen if, you know...

Nothing special about it.

Eldest son inherits the farm.

Hugh?

Tradition.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Engine idling ]

[ Birds chirping ]

[ Music continues ]

Matt. Matt, is it true?

Can you believe it? He´s leaving the farm to Hugh.

-Were they his last words? -What? He´s not dead yet.

You texted, "Dad is dead."

Yeah, to me.

Matt, I´m in class!

I could kill him -- not that it´d make any difference.

It just means Hugh gets it all sooner.

That doesn´t make any sense. Hugh has no interest in farming.

It´s tradition. The eldest son gets the land.

So you knew this was gonna happen all along?

I assumed that he´d change the will.

He´s been complaining about Hugh for the past 20 years.

And all that time, you never thought to ask him?

I thought we had an understanding.

Matt, everything we have is in that farm.

Is everything all right out here, Ms. Pereira?

It´s all good, Mr. Collins.

You know you can´t teach from out here.

I´m going back in right away.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

[ Birds chirping ]

[ Bird whistles ]

Someone´s tweeting.

"Fake Mayor Knight thinks she´s in the clear. Sad."

Who is this person?

The account just says WhyThroat, which doesn´t even make sense.

Well, I guess it´s a play on Deep Throat.

Why does everything have to be about sex?

No. It´s from Watergate.

Nixon.

Oh, no one learned anything from history anyway.

Rod. Oh, how delightful.

But you´re in a chair. I had no idea you were so frail.

Told you I didn´t need the chair.

No. Don´t strain yourself.

We want that heart of yours to keep beating, don´t we, Sharon?

Nothing I want more.

Drop the sisterhood act, Meryl.

We all know you´re in deep doo-dah.

Missing votes from the Whyhope Men´s Club, my people,

mysteriously turn up in that one´s car.

You´re down for electoral fraud, theft, corruption.

The whole council knows you´re being impeached.

Uh, strictly speaking,

"impeachment" is an American term, Mr. Eagle.

We don´t do that here.

Doesn´t matter what they call it, girlie.

The outcome´s gonna be the same.

Sexist, demeaning remarks are not acceptable in my council.

Your council. You couldn´t run a chook raffle.

I can´t wait to count these votes,

which, thanks to us, were actually found.

I want to watch your face when I beat you again.

Bit hard to watch from behind bars.

[ Laughs ]

Lock her up!

[ Chanting ] Lock her up! Lock her up!

Lock her up!

Unresponsive. Did you take a sample?

Mm-hmm.

Hmm.

[ Sniffs ]

A little bit alkaline. Up his fluids, will you?

No. What?

Also a distinct hint of apple juice.

[ Laughs ] That -- ugh -- was awesome.

[ Laughs ]

Okay. Thank you. Take them through to the back.

There´s a cold storage behind the kitchen.

-What´s this? -DOA´s from this morning.

Did we find somewhere for the perishables?

Yeah. I´ve rung the café. They´re happy to help.

This is another joke, right?

You´re not just putting them in the fridge?

We have to keep them cold until they´re identified.

I hope we get the fridge back before Friday night.

Might have to reconsider the meat raffle.

I´m kidding.

It´s a seafood platter this week anyway.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

Ajax, want to do some rounds?

I think I´m just gonna hang out with Betty.

Yeah. Right.

I-I told her she can´t come in.

It was all going to Hugh, and you never said anything.

Uh, it´s fine. Thank you, Hayley.

I know you´re not from the country,

but the eldest inherits.

Anything else is a mess.

But what has Hugh done to deserve it?

Matt´s never left.

That farm is his whole life.

You have to change that will, Meryl.

But I can´t. It´s not about us, Charlie.

This is about a board of three trustees

who all need to agree,

and ever since Uncle Finnegan went troppo in Vietnam, it...

Once you start messing with succession,

it´s a slippery slope to losing your land.

But how is that fair?

Well, it´s not about fair.

This is family.

Can you check my hair?

I´m convinced that there´s something crawling around in it.

And I can´t see. It´s in here.

In all the things that have been not right about this family,

this one´s the worst.

[ Door opens ]

BETTY: A bird flies in the darkness,

flies into a pool of light for the briefest moment

and then flies out again.

Their time is up, Ajax.

So that´s it?

Our priority is with the living.

Is this always where they keep dead people?

Sometimes.

We´re a country hospital. We do our best.

Hey, Hugh.

Floyd.

Hey! That´s my badminton arm.

Sorry. Sorry.

[ Exhales deeply ]

So, I hear your mum has a guest tonight.

Yeah. Toke. I like him.

Do you, though?

Shouldn´t I?

I don´t know. Should you?

I feel like we´re going in circles.

What if he wants your mum to move back to Sydney?

Oh. He´s sneaky.

Yes, he is.

My advice --

Don´t let them out of your sight tonight, okay?

That way, he won´t have a chance to talk about moving back.

I have to go, Hugh.

Yes, you do.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

"The Eagle has landed -- in his wheelchair.

Talk about lame-duck politics. #recount."

It´s nice to see Whyhope trending.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. Don´t tell Mum that.

-Who do you think it is? -Inside job, definitely.

Only an unhappy workplace leaks like that.

Notice there´s no leaks here.

Outside of the geriatric ward.

Is the shop still open?

-Oh! -It´s okay.

Hugh?!

MAN: [ Groans ] MIA: It´s okay.

Okay, Bruce. What do we have here?

It´s Brian.

Bloody feral pig gored me.

Right. Who did these stitches?

I did. No hospitals in the backcountry.

Ha. Really? Okay.

Well, we´ll give you a nice, big dose of antibiotics

and some fluids and then prep you for surgery

and I´ll start debriding this necrotic tissue.

You´d better speak English, mate.

How about I just do it? Want to stick around and watch?

It´s a very good first wound for you, Ajax.

Sure. Why not?

Oh, come on. A little bit of enthusiasm.

Bruce has here traveled a long way

to provide us with work this afternoon.

It´s Brian.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Brake clicks, engine shuts off ]

Hey, shouldn´t we get cracking on that fence

while we´ve still got light?

Why don´t you ask Hugh?

Mate, this can´t happen every day.

It is what it is.

I´ll get my tools.

[ Music continues ]

[ Bird whistles ]

"Whyhope recount a choice

between Lame Duck and Fake Mayor.

Town in crisis. Please send cake."

Oh. I´m so sorry, Meryl.

Politics means never being sorry, Hayley.

Look. We´ll get through this.

Hugh, Ajax.

[ Door closes ]

Hello, darling. You staying for dinner?

I don´t know.

You have that "I want something from you" tone.

Don´t be silly. All I´m asking about is dinner.

So, just between you and me... what are Rod Eagle´s chances?

What, at winning?

You know I can´t disclose a patient´s health.

Well, how fit is he for office?

Mum.

No harm in asking.

Well, come on. Oh.

-Hey. -Hey, you.

-PENNY: Come in. -TOKE: Thank you.

Uh, I have champagne.

I have dinner.

You see how well this works?

Hey, dude.

I´m not really a dude.

Well, the fact that you don´t identify as a dude

totally makes you dudeworthy.

I can see the logic of that.

Well, then. Champagne?

Yes, please.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

Mm!

[ Insects chirping ]

Hey. You guys coming for dinner too?

No. We´re just here to borrow the fire pit.

If that´s all right with you.

Yeah. Yeah. Take what you want.

If only that were true.

Don´t worry, Hugh. We´ll bring it back.

MERYL: Hugh!

What?

Mum!

What? You´re a doctor.

Well, just a bit of...warning.

I think I´ve got scabies.

[ Sighs ]

Scabies gives you red dots. You´re clear.

But the bugs, they´re crawling all over me.

Look. Look in my hair.

I don´t see anything.

I can feel them!

[ Sighs ]

Have you had tingling in your hands and feet?

Yes.

Shortness of breath? Sweaty palms?

Yes.

Be straight with me, Hugh. I can take it.

I think you have some sort of stress-related condition.

Stress-related? Is it any wonder?

I´m guessing you´ve heard about the "fake Mayor Knight" talk

and the recount.

Mm-hmm.

But you did know about those boxes, right?

Obviously I cannot discuss it.

What about the bugs?

Imaginary.

Look.

You´ve had a scare, and you´ve gone into flight mode.

Only you can´t actually run,

so your fear is manifesting as other things --

bugs, tingling, shortness of breath.

That´s not actual medicine.

Really?

Can you feel them now?

-No. -Cured.

Thanks, Hugh.

Rod Eagle gave me stress-related imaginary scabies?

He´s gonna pay for this.

And she´s back.

You bet I am.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

[ Insects chirping ]

Well, this is flash.

The best thing -- fully transportable.

We register the business in our own names

and we can take it anywhere.

From tomorrow, we´re a whole new brand.

So are we hipster brewers

or are we glamping glamour with a hint of country?

Which one do you like?

I think I need to do some more research.

♫ Been down one time ♫

♫ Been down two times ♫

MATT: Let´s, uh, give this journo

something to write about tomorrow.

[ Both laugh ]

[ Music continues ]

[ Engine shuts off ]

Cool farm.

MATT: Hi, Jac.

Your family´s been here forever, right?

Sure, but we can take the glamping anywhere.

Think of this place as a backdrop only.

Hi. I´m Charlie.

Jac. Country Life blog. Loved your book.

-Oh, you read it? -Of course.

I´m really into sci-fi. I do a bit of cosplay.

There´s not much of a scene out here, but it´s growing.

-Oh. -Yeah.

Mum, Ajax, this is Jac.

She´s writing the story about me and Charlie.

Hi, Jac.

Mrs. Knight, I´d just like to say

I think that "fake mayor" thing

is totally bogus and disrespectful.

Thank you, Jac.

So, do you know who WhyThroat is?

I don´t do the Twitter.

So, do you think they´re right

about Rod Eagle having the advantage today?

I will say this.

We´re delighted to have the opportunity

to get the definitive result today.

Thank you.

Ajax.

So, brewery or glamping?

Beer. Definitely.

-Great. -This way.

Right this way.

What are you wearing? We decided on country modern.

I thought we said corporate but cool.

Can you even walk in those things?

Can you expect anyone to take you seriously in that hat?

-What´s wrong with my hat? -Oh, my feet hurt already.

Floyd was being weirdly clingy.

He didn´t leave us alone all night.

So you didn´t get reacquainted?

There was zero reacquainting.

Ugh. That´s a shame.

You don´t have to tell me.

TOKE: Let´s go.

-Where? -Surprise.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Hey.

Hey.

Just so you know -- They didn´t have sex.

-None of my business. -Your secret´s safe with me.

Don´t have one.

Won´t tell.

TUGGER: Thank you all for being here.

Since Mr. Eagle and Mrs. Knight can´t be present

during the recount, they have both appointed scrutineers.

Hayley and Sharon, you may remain in the room to supervise,

but I´m afraid everyone else will have to wait outside.

Thank you, Sergeant Waugh.

Good luck, Meryl.

Thank you, Sharon.

You´ve been a tough competitor.

Not done yet.

ROD: All right. All right. Enough of that.

Watch them like a hawk, Shaz. Nothing but a bunch of cheats.

You too, Hayley.

Whenever you´re ready, guys.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Hey.

Here you go, Brian. Tea´s fresh.

Um, don´t know where they get that jelly from.

[ Chuckles ] Not our fridges, I hope.

So how far out bush were you when this happened?

You trying to get my secret spot out of me?

Oh, hunting wild pig is a bit hectic for me.

My fiancée thinks it´s too dangerous.

Fiancée, eh?

Well, good for you.

I lost my wife three years ago in a road accident.

My mum died in a road accident.

Bastard things, cars.

I was waiting here when they told me.

And they brought me jelly.

Never liked hospitals.

-Oh. -Yeah.

Uh, did you have this yesterday?

Probably. Always a bit banged about.

Hugh, can you have a look at this?

You have this yesterday, Bruce?

Brian.

Your boy here just asked me the same thing.

Did he, now?

Good observation, Ajax.

I want you to let someone on staff know if this changes

or if it grows outside of this line.

All right?

Your temperature seems stable.

We´ll keep an eye on that as well.

Good work, mate.

He seems like an all right sort of bloke.

I guess.

Keep going.

You´re almost there. You´re almost there.

Okay.

-You´re not peeking, are you? -No.

No? Good.

[ Chuckles ] What?

Now, in battle, when you face your fears,

you increase your chance of survival tenfold.

That´s not a thing.

No. But this is.

-Oop! [ Laughs ] -Oh, no. No, no.

I definitely don´t do helicopters.

I´ve had combat training.

Or war zones.

Come on. Come on.

It´s time to beat this thing, Penny Cartwright.

[ Engine humming ]

My entire body is telling me

that everything about this is wrong.

But you trust me, right?

I trust you.

[ Screams ]

Oh, my God.

-Yeah. Maybe. -Yeah.

-But I´ll show you back inside. -Mm-hmm.

Nothing like a midmorning beer buzz to start the day.

That is our summer ale.

I brewed it for the summer last year,

but it was so popular, we made it permanent.

[ Laughs ] It´s just our signature brew.

Cool.

You should name some beers after characters in your novel.

Cross-promotion.

That is not a bad idea.

-JAC: Does your mum like it? -The book?

You...building the family empire.

This place has nothing to do with the family.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

75% of the votes.

Eagle, 795. Knight, 767.

Sorry. Too early to call.

ROD: Oh, here we go.

[ Door closes ]

You turned the engine off.

It was an autorotation drill. We were perfectly safe.

It was irresponsible, reckless, dangerous behavior.

Yeah, but every nerve in your body is tingling, right?

The blood´s pumping through your heart

and you feel like you could do anything.

Your body told you to be scared, and you´ve beaten it.

You´ve conquered your fears.

That´s the most ridiculous mumbo jumbo I´ve ever heard.

Yeah.

But it was fun, right? It was exciting.

How did I let you talk me into that?

Because you know I´m right.

You drive me crazy.

Likewise.

Found you a sneaky dessert.

Brian?

Help!

Yeah. On it. It´s a code blue.

[ Alarm ringing ]

-[ Monitor beeping ] -What have we got?

Heart rate´s up.

I think he may be septic.

His obs have been deteriorating. Let´s hang some more fluids.

Push some Hartmann´s. Drop some noradrenaline.

MIA: Hugh, he´s out.

Let´s bag him. Nice and quick.

[ Monitor flatlining ]

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Defibrillator whirring ]

[ Thud ]

Okay. There´s no pulse. I´m gonna start CPR.

Come on, mate. Stay with me.

-Keep that air going. -Still no heart rate.

Come on, mate!

[ Music continues ]

We´ll have to find something a bit more fun for you tomorrow.

Everything´s just a joke to you, isn´t it?

Look. I do what I can to cope.

That´s easy when you don´t care about anyone but yourself.

Hey. I just tried to save that guy for 40 minutes.

He had multiple organ failure.

There´s nothing we could do.

So you just joke about it, like you do everything else.

Where is this coming from?

She was just another B&S shag.

You didn´t even know she was pregnant.

What are you talking about?

My mum.

She never told me, mate.

And she died and you just throw her in the fridge

like everyone else?

[ Exhales deeply ]

I wasn´t even here.

No. I was, though.

Ajax.

I didn´t know.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Goat bleats ]

We can put up 40 of these in a day or just the one.

It´s a totally flexible deal.

You bring the location. We bring the tents.

So, how´s Meryl going?

Off the record.

That has nothing to do with glamping.

Here´s a great idea. Two stories.

Give me the inside scoop on Meryl

and I promise I´ll land glamping as a feature for the month

and can pitch it to national print media.

I´m trying to get into political reporting.

It´d be a coup. You scratch my back, et cetera.

Here´s an idea. How about no story?

-Get off our land. -Don´t be like that.

They´d be anonymous sources.

"This is how she feels," et cetera.

No one would know, and it´d give you guys a leg up.

Charlie, when you ask someone to get off your land

and they don´t, what´s that called again?

Trespassing.

Your tents are too small, and your summer brew´s too hoppy.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

You get the feeling your family are trying to sabotage you?

Oh.

What´s going on?

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Is that straight?

That´s good.

-You did it. -Yes.

-You´re a champion! -Yay!

[ Laughs ]

PENNY: Hugh!

I´ve conquered my fear.

What, by holding hands with it?

-Ha ha ha ha. -Very funny.

I´m not afraid of flying anymore.

[ Chuckles ] Of course you are.

She´s cured.

Cured.

Well, I´m glad somebody is.

What the hell is wrong with you, man?

Nothing...dude.

[ Chuckles ] You´re a real dick. You know that?

-Yeah? -Can you both just stop it?

He started it!

-[ Chuckles ] -Let´s end it, Grandpa.

Grandpa. [ Chuckles ]

Oh!

-Oh, my God! -Come here! Come here!

Oh, my God. Stop it.

TOKE: I´m gonna teach you a lesson!

[ Indistinct conversations ]

I´m informed the optional preferences

have now been taken into consideration.

So these are the final results.

Eagle, 1,075.

Knight, 1,086.

[ Crowd murmuring, gasping ]

Eleven votes?

No. No, no, no, no. That´s rigged.

TUGGER: We did this one fair and square, Mr. Eagle.

-Mrs. Knight´s won the election. -No, no. She´s cheated.

Why don´t you check and see

if there´s any more boxes squirreled away somewhere?

[ Bird whistles ]

WhyThroat?

-You´re WhyThroat? -I was on your side, darling.

So she cheats me, and you make fun of me!

SHARON: That´s what social media is!

When do I get some loyalty?

No! I demand a recount.

This can´t be happening!

-This... -Darling.

-ROD: [ Groans ] -SHARON: Oh!

[ Crowd murmuring ]

Uh, I´ll -- I´ll get help.

Yeah. Get help, Hayley. Rod?

Rod?

HUGH: [ Grunting ]

Hugh! Hugh!

-What?! -We need help! Quick!

Rod! He´s collapsed!

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

BP´s down.

Yeah. He´s got a weak pulse.

-Extended neck veins. -Muffled heart sounds.

I think he´s got a bleed. We need to get him to surgery.

[ Siren wailing ]

Okay. I´ve found the bleed. Give me some room.

-Clamp. -Keep on the BP, Mia.

-[ Monitor beeping ] -Still stable.

Suture.

There.

Okay.

PENNY: Heart rate´s steady.

Blood pressure normal.

HUGH: All right. Bleeding´s stopped.

[ Chuckles ] You did it.

We´re not out of the woods yet.

-Transport? -Standing by.

Okay. Let´s get him prepped and ready for Sydney.

Are you okay?

Mm. I just hope Rod´s all right.

Yeah. Me too.

Meryl?

I have to show you something.

I-It´s gonna be a problem.

So Hayley made a phone call.

She´s the anonymous tip-off.

We -- We checked the record of calls.

This was the time.

Well, I´m sure there´s a simple explanation.

Oh, these bugs. They´re not real.

Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it.

-Meryl? -I´m fine. As I was saying --

The thing is, I didn´t find it.

I´m being transferred.

The new cop from the city who´s replacing me did.

You´re leaving?

Fresh start.

Plus, they don´t want locals policing their own.

Think -- Think we´re too enmeshed in the community.

Oh. That´s absurd.

I shouldn´t have shown you this, so they may have a point.

Meryl, you and Hayley, you have to get a lawyer.

This guy is serious.

Thank you.

Bye, Meryl.

Congratulations on winning the election.

Shit.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Birds chirping ]

Got another one of those?

I love this view.

[ Bottle opens, cap rattles ]

We didn´t do it for Hugh.

Eldest son of the eldest son.

All this for Ajax.

Well, it´s like your mother says.

Him and Hayley, they´re like... two scones that didn´t rise.

Someone´s got to look out for them.

Not for me.

Oh. Yeah, but look at what you´ve done here.

There´s a brewery. There´s this thing.

That´s a bloody great tent. Even I´d sleep in it.

-Really? -No.

[ Chuckles ] But people from the city will.

You´ve never needed anything from us, Matt.

That´s what I like about you.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Dr. Knight.

Wow.

You -- You were really impressive back there.

Have you ever thought about, like, joining the service?

They need good doctors, man,

ones that can work under pressure.

I really don´t do uniforms.

Yeah. I can respect that.

Sure I can´t drive you?

Uh, yeah. You´ve got work to do here.

Besides, I´ll see you again soon, right?

Well, safe flight back.

Thanks, dude.

Yeah. I´m really not a...dude.

Well, you certainly were today.

I think I preferred the fighting.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

Ken.

I-I was just gonna do something,

um, and then I´m gonna let you think on it and get back to me.

I-Is this a question of policy?

Possibly.

Let me know.

You seen Ajax, Ken?

Ken.

Huh? Who?

Many different cultures believe the soul needs time

to depart the body at death.

These poor souls have had a shock.

Sitting vigil will help them cross over peacefully.

It also gives those left behind an opportunity

to find some acceptance of what they´ve lost.

[ Door opens ]

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

I´ll leave you to it.

I couldn´t leave them alone, not for another night.

You think this is stupid?

Actually, no, I don´t.

You reckon they put Mum in here?

I don´t know, mate.

Maybe.

[ Music continues ]

I´m sorry I wasn´t there for you...

and your mum.

Thanks.
