NCIS: Sydney (2023) s03e02 Episode Script

[DOC ROY] Hey, I like that tattoo.
It's just something that
my my brother drew.
- Didn't know you had a brother.
- Yeah.
We haven't spoken for a while.
When we get back to Sydney,
there's something I need you
to have a look at.
Of course.
Whatever you need.
- [GASPS]
- Been looking for you.
[BLUE] I'm gonna miss
all of you so much.
Except Doc, obviously.
So I'm resigning.
[FLOORBOARDS CREAK]
[ROBERT] Eli. Faith.
Faith, up you get.

You've gotta get up, mate.
Let's go, Faith.
[MAN IN DISTANCE] Robert!
[PEOPLE CALL OUT IN DISTANCE]
[ROBERT] Okay. Here, here, here.
All right.

- You stay here.
I'm gonna draw them away
and I'm gonna come back for you, yeah?
Don't leave us, Dad.
No, I'll be back, promise.
Look after your brother.
- [PEOPLE SHOUT IN DISTANCE]
- [MAN] Where are you?
- [THUNDER RUMBLES]
- [ROBERT] Hey! Oi!
[MAN] Robert?
I'm scared. We should go back.
Dad said to wait.

[THEME MUSIC]
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
[DOC ROY] Bluebird! [BANGS ON DOOR]
You there?
[SIGHS]
Oh, you should be home, Blue.
It's Wednesday,
it's Survivor night.
Blue!
- [DOGS BARK]
- [DOOR OPENS NEARBY]
[MAN] Bloody hell!
Hey, you right?
What's going on down here, bro?
Ah, I'm just looking
for a friend bro.
[NEIGHBOR] Yeah, well,
keep it down, will ya?
I got a kid trying to sleep up here.

[DOOR BANGS]
[OFFICER] Drop the weapon!
- [DOC ROY GROANS]
- Now!
[CHUCKLES] All right.
Oh, why is it
I can always find a copper
when I never want one?
[HANDCUFFS CLICK]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[JD] I keep telling him it's not
the '70s anymore, you know?
What are you gonna do? He's
an old bloke. He's harmless.
Harmless?
He broke into the flat.
Yeah, on a welfare check.
With a crowbar.
He's really fond of
the girl that lives here.
Good look.
Not the first time.
- [MACKEY] Hm.
- I told you, didn't I?
Something's happened to her.
[DISTANT SIREN WAILS]
[MACKEY CLEARS THROAT]
Left her makeup behind.
Not very Blue.
They are, though.
[EVIE] That's the Gemini constellation.
Twin stars.
Just upside down.
[DESHAWN] How do you know that?
'Cause I'm a Gemini, obviously.
Hey, check it out.
Hold this.
Give me a hand.
Take that.
- Give me a boost.
- Really?
Come on!
[DESHAWN GRUNTS]
No, you do you.
I am.
And stop looking at my arse.
I'm definitely not looking at your arse,
or your ass for that matter.
[EVIE] You must be a Sagittarius, then.
[GRUNTS]
- How do you figure that?
- Pathological liars.
- [BLOWS]
- [SIGHS]
[CHUCKLES]
She didn't just leave her makeup behind.
Now, I'll know for sure
when I get the DNA results,
but at this stage, I'm pretty certain
this is more than one person.
That's a female hemipelvis
and that skull is
almost certainly a male.
The question is why does Blue
have a box of bones in her bathroom?
[JD] It's not the only question.
What about whether any of these bones
belong to US Navy personnel?
[EVIE] Really?
You're looking for jurisdiction?
I'm looking for any way not
to kick this back to local PD.
Come on, Sarge. We'll be
hanging Blue out to dry.
Yeah, I mean, they'll assume
she's some kind of serial killer.
Wait, she's not some kind
of serial killer, is she?
[JD] Of course she's not.
But she's in trouble, clearly.
Just trying to figure out
a way to help her.
Well, we won't do it by abandoning her.
Yeah, we're not abandoning her.
We don't even know where she is, Doc.
JD's right, unidentified human remains
makes this a local police
matter, open and shut.
[SIGHS]
[MACKEY] So,
what if we haven't found the bones yet?
We, uh kind of already did, boss.
[MACKEY] Did we?
What if we find them,
I don't know, say tomorrow?
"I don't make things complicated.
"That's just the way things get
all by themselves."
Lethal Weapon?
- Right.
- Oh.
Let me guess. You're Riggs.
Why doesn't that surprise me?
[DOOR SQUEAKS]
Any thoughts as to why
Blue had these stashed away?
She was acting a little strange
in Darwin.
Strange how?
She asked me to have a look
at something when we got back.
What, you think she was
talking about these?
I don't know, mate.
But
she was scared.
I know that much.
And she did mention
a brother.
Blue has a brother?
News to me until Darwin.
Where is he? Are they close?
I have no idea.
But she told me
they hadn't spoken in a long time.
Are you sure it's a familial match?
[TRIGGER] Two matches.
I flicked some of the skull samples
to my mate at head office
and, uh, he got a couple hits.
First is to Louise Mullens.
Thinking that's Skull Man's mum?
Computer says yes.
And the other match?
- Some street kid.
- [COMPUTER BLEEPS]
Jane Doe.
And, uh,
most certainly Skull Man's daughter.
[UNSETTLING MUSIC]
But there's more.
I've got a mate who works
at the Children's Court
who owed me a favor and
Wait, do you know her?
How have they got Blue's DNA?
I guess from when she was in prison.
[FEMALE COP] Okay, kid, give us a name.
If we don't get a name,
we're never going home.
What were you gonna do with it? Hmm?
Big black market for portable
bone density scanners?
I wasn't gonna keep it.
[MALE COP] Oh, you were just
borrowing it, were you?
And why did you attack the night guard?
[BLUE] I didn't mean to.
[FEMALE COP] You smashed a
beaker over his head by accident?
He was holding me down,
saying that he was gonna call the cops.
[FEMALE COP] Yeah. That's
what happens to criminals.
I'm not a criminal.
Tell that to the night guard.
I never meant to hurt him.
[FEMALE COP] Well, you did.
12 stitches in his forehead.
He's not gonna forget you
in a hurry.
She looks like she needs a hug.
- Oh, she looks terrified.
- [MACKEY] Who wouldn't be?
17 and just arrested for aggravated B&E?
And what's going on with her hair?
[MALE COP] Not your first run-in
with university security, is it?
Thrown out of lectures,
stealing library books
and now breaking into
the science lab.
What's with that?
I like science.
There she is.
[MALE COP] Got a home?
I've got a patrol says
they might have seen you
sleeping in
a bus shelter in Redfern.
- [DOOR OPENS]
- [FEMALE COP] Come on.
[JD] Macka.
[MALE COP] Come on, kid.
Just so I have something
to write on this.
[JD] It gets worse.
[MACKEY] Worse than discovering
Blue's a convicted criminal?
How did she make it through AFP vetting?
How would anyone know?
Her juvie file was sealed.
The thing is
she went into juvie Jane Doe,
came out Bluebird Gleeson.
Okay, so she came clean
about who she was.
How is that worse?
It's not who she was.
There is no Bluebird Gleeson.
She made her up.
Birth certificate,
school records,
vaccination schedule.
These are all fake?
Fake as fairies.
Based on those lies, she joined the AFP.
Fake name, criminal record,
human remains in her bathroom.
Who the hell are you, Bluebird Gleeson?
[BIRDS WARBLE]
[RINGS DOORBELL]
Can I help you?
- [MACKEY] Louise Mullens?
- Mm-hm.
I'm Special Agent Mackey, NCIS.
This is my partner,
Sergeant Dempsey, AFP.
You've found him, haven't you, hmm?
You've found my Rob?
We've found remains we think
may belong to your son.
[SIGHS]
I never stopped hoping he'd
walk back in the door someday.
Where'd you find him?
We can't disclose that at this point.
[SCOFFS]
Where was he when you
last heard from him?
[LOUISE] Out bush.
Rob and Heather were traveling around,
looking for a place to live
close to nature.
Heather?
His partner.
Chalk and cheese, those two.
Rob, all spiritual.
A hippie, basically.
Heather, a scientist,
but somehow they made it work.
Scientist and a hippie, huh?
Explains a lot.
I don't understand.
Ms. Mullens, we work
with Rob's daughter.
Rob had a daughter?
And a son too, we believe.
I have grandchildren?
Where are they? Can I see them?
Your granddaughter is missing.
That's why we're here.
Do you mind if I take a photo?
[LOUISE] No.
[CAMERA CLICKS]
My granddaughter. What's her name?
Bluebird.
Bluebird.
- [CHUCKLES]
- [JD] This is her.
[LOUISE] Oh.
She's beautiful.
I'd love to meet her.
You will.
You see, that's why I love Australia.
You know, you really
look after your people.
In the US, when people die,
we usually cut off
their Social Security.
If they even had it in the first place.
[DESHAWN] True dat.
[EVIE AND DOC ROY] I've got something.
You first.
We did a deep dive on Blue's dad.
He's a nifty bloke, despite
being well and truly dead.
He's still claiming
government benefits every week,
then withdrawing cash from an ATM in
[DESHAWN AND DOC ROY] Bilpin?
[DOC ROY] Bilpin.
[LAUGHS] It's the soil analysis.
The soil analysis taken from the bones.
It shows traces of pollen
from a very particular apple variety.
Years ago, you could find them
in a number of places.
Now, only in six orchards
in the lower Blue Mountains.
Bilpin, to be exact.
[PEACEFUL MUSIC]
Got your color back already.
You must be hungry, yeah?
Cleanse is hard, I know.
The lunar cycle can feel like forever.
[BLUE] Hm.
But it's nature's way
and it's beautiful.
Important to wash the outside world off.
Place has changed a bit since you left.
[BLUE] Mmm.
Eight years is a long time.
Bet you missed it.
I'm so glad you're back, Faith.
[WHISPERS] Can I see him now?
[KOOKABURRA LAUGHS IN DISTANCE]
[PEACEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES]
[BLUE] Eli.
[CHUCKLES]
Faith.
[SIGHS]
Look at you, big sister!
[LAUGHS] By seven minutes.
How was the cleanse?
How do you reckon?
Mmm. Whole month with
liquids only. No, thanks.
Yeah. If I never see
another cup of dandelion tea,
it'll be too soon.
[ELI LAUGHS AND SIGHS]
Come on, let's get you a proper feed.
[BLUE LAUGHS]
[ELI] Here she is!
The prodigal sister returns.
[PEOPLE CLAP]
[WOMAN] The twins are reunited!
- Good to see you again, Faith.
- You remember everyone, yeah?
- There will be a quiz.
- [PEOPLE LAUGH]
All right. Let's get
this show on the road, hey?
- Bring some things out.
- Hi!
David, could you get
the hampers from the back?
Hi, Winston.
Welcome back, kid.
Ooh. Ohh! Hi! Sorry.
[MAN] Hey, Faith.
Sorry. [CHUCKLES] Oh!
I saved this for you
to thank you for coming back.
Oh, wow. Thank you.
- What's your name?
- Angel.
Of course it is.
- Thank you, Angel.
- It's okay.
Hey, Faith.
- Hey.
- Hi.
[UNSETTLING MUSIC]
[BLUE] So, is everything okay?
Are you okay?
Am I okay?
Yeah. Aspira told me
I came back here because
she said that you needed me.
Yeah, she's right. I need you
here. We need to be together.
Why? What's wrong?
Well, now that you're here,
nothing at all.
[BLUE] I'm sorry.
I was 17.
I felt trapped here and
I couldn't think for myself.
There's no need to apologize.
I didn't want to leave you on your own.
I was never on my own.
How could I be?
The whole world's right here.
I mean, yeah, it's beautiful, but
the world beyond the fence line,
there's beauty there too, Eli.
Like, it's not like
how they told us growing up.
The people, the places,
everything, it's
Corrupted.
You left here perfect
and look what they did to you.
It I did this.
This is me, Eli. This is all
part of my story. Good and bad.
I made friends. Actual friends.
I have a whole life in the city.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[PHONE BUZZES]
[JD] Talk to me, Trigger.
So I spoke to a mate at AUSTRAC
who did some digging.
Pulled footage from
the ATM camera in Bilpin
where the benefits are being withdrawn.
Just sent a photo to your phone.
- We got a clearer image, bro?
- Afraid not.
ATM camera only comes on
when you take the cash out.
This is all we got.
[JD] Can you punch in on the background?
Yeah, tried that already.
Car drives in and out
on the same axis.
No way to make out the plates.
Don't be too sure.
Run the plates.
It's registered to a group
in the Blue Mountains.
The Bilpin Collective.
"Multiple occupancy farming commune."
It's a bunch of hippies who all
threw in for a block of land
so they can run around naked,
eating alfalfa.
Does that sound like Blue to you?
[BLUE] This is the last place
that we saw Dad.
Do you think about him?
Not anymore.
Too much going on
to worry about the past.
I think about him, Eli.
I think about him a lot.
You know those bones that
I found before I ran away?
I took them with me, to the city.
Get any answers?
- I haven't tested them yet.
- Why not?
- [UNEASY MUSIC]
- [MAN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]
Eli, dad promised me
that he would come back.
He wasn't a liar.
He was sick, Faith.
When Mum died, he went crazy
and tried to take us from here.
No. Eli, he loved us.
He was he was scared
for us that night,
and I swear that
something happened to him.
You wanna know why
you never tested those bones?
Because you couldn't face
finding out that they're not Dad's.
Because that would mean accepting
the fact that he abandoned us.
That's what happened, Faith.
Our father left us here under
that tree and never came back.
I'm okay with it now. I've accepted it.
[BLUE SCOFFS]
[ELI] Really, I hope
your coming back here
means you're finally ready
to accept it too.
Now, I can't make you believe me.
I can't make you do anything.
Never could.
But I hope you're ready
to let go of the past,
live in the present.
Especially now the Gemini twins
are rejoined.
[PHONE LINE RINGS]
- [JD] Trigger?
- [MACKEY] What do you have?
Spoke to a mate at the AFP.
[JD] How many mates have you got?
And he fast-tracked our DNA results
on the rest of the bones
found at Blue's.
They're from three people.
Three people?
And just like Blue's dad,
they're all still
collecting social benefits
despite being, you know, dead.
What the hell has Blue got herself into?
I don't know,
but I feel the need
the need for speed.
Did you just quote the
[ENGINE ROARS]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[PEACEFUL MUSIC]
- [SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]
- [FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]
Did you like the pomegranate?
I did. Thank you. It was
little pops of yumminess.
This is for you too.
Oh, wow!
Thank you! Aren't I lucky?
You deserve it. You're our queen.
[LAUGHS] Oh, yes, I'm very queenly.
You are.
And look, there's you up there,
one of the Gemini twins.
Right.
We're very floaty, aren't we?
You're not floating, you're ascending.
And look, there's me.
You're ascending too?
[ANGEL] Course I am.
First comes reunification,
then the ascension.
Angel, I'm a little bit silly
and a bit forgetful.
What's the ascension again?
You know, the prophecy?
When we fly up to the stars
all together?
[ANGEL GIGGLES]
[ANGEL] Come on.
[DARK MUSIC]
[UNSETTLING MUSIC]
Take the truck, recce the joint.
Exits, fence lines,
bordering properties, the lot.
[DESHAWN] Copy that.
[CAR DOORS OPEN AND CLOSE]
[ENGINE STARTS]
[MACKEY] You gotta be kidding me.
[MACKEY CLEARS THROAT]
I thought we had a deal
you'd stay out of this.
Come on, Rosie.
You're a forensic pathologist.
Not today, I'm not.
You screw this up
and I'll put you in a body bag.
Promises, promises.
[BUZZER SOUNDS]
[ELI] Welcome.
- Eli. Good to meet you.
- Jim Dempsey, AFP.
- Michelle Mackey, NCIS.
- G'day.
[JD] So, ah, how big's your spread?
450 acres. God's country.
Not a lot of big blocks
left out this way now, huh?
We didn't drive up here just to
talk about real estate, though, did we?
No.
We're looking for one of our people.
Bluebird Gleeson.
[MACKEY] We have reason
to believe she's here.
I think perhaps they mean Faith.
Faith?
My sister.
You're her work colleagues, right?
She mentioned you.
[MACKEY] We're her friends
and we'd like to know if she's okay.
She's doing great.
In fact, I think she's
Go find Faith and bring her
here for me, would you, love?
We didn't meet.
Special Agent Mackey, NCIS.
I'm Aspira. No title necessary.
- You're the boss here?
- Oh, gosh, no.
More like the collective's very
own Mother Hubbard. [CHUCKLES]
[DESHAWN] I did some research.
I'm nothing like a Sagittarius.
You know, I'm more of a Scorpio.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Protective and gentle.
Intensely sexual and passionate.
[LAUGHS]
Is your birthday between
October 23 and November 21?
Uh, no, as it happens.
Then you're not a Scorpio.
When is it?
D?
Your birthday. When is it?
I'm not telling you
what you should already know.
Why? What are you hiding?
I ain't hiding nothing.
You're a Virgo.
Virgo the Virgin.
[LAUGHS] I ain't no virgin.
Astrology doesn't lie.
Whoa, stop, stop, stop.
Something's cooking.
[TROUBLING MUSIC]
[MACKEY] So how many people
are part of your, uh
What do you call it, your collective?
Oh, we call call it home.
45 souls, at last count.
At last count?
Well, we're multi-generational.
People are born here. People die here.
Circle of life, Agent Mackey.
People ever leave?
[ASPIRA] From time to time.
It's a sanctuary, not a prison.
- [SCOFFS]
- [ANGEL] Come on!
Here you are.
Hello, Bluebird.
[ELI] Your friends drove
all the way out here
to make sure you're okay.
I'm fine.
I think they're worried we're
keeping you here against your will.
I mean, that's why you're here, right?
You know you can leave at any
time. Right now, if you want.
Yeah. Yeah.
[ASPIRA] Right, well,
why don't I get someone to
walk you back down to the gate?
You, um
You just said that
people, they can leave anytime.
- Hmm?
- Yeah.
This place isn't for everyone.
What about Robert Mullens?
Did he just leave here?
I guess he must have.
Because I have his skull
sitting on my desk as we speak.
Our father was
troubled.
We don't know what happened
to him after he left us.
[DOC ROY] Come on, Bluebird. Come on.
Stop calling her that.
That's not her name.
Her name's Faith.
You're not leaving, are you?
Okay, then.
- [CAMERA CLICKS]
- One for the memory wall.
See you, kiddo.
Let's go.
[DESHAWN] Evie.
Blue there?
- Is she coming?
- Yes. And no.
- How'd you go?
- I scoped the perimeter.
Five-strand barbed wire all
around. No neighbors for miles.
Sounds about right.
Wack-job compound 101.
[EVIE] On that,
far side of the property,
we spotted a work shed.
Couple of guys working
on an outside table.
They were drying fruit,
grinding something.
And that's wacky why, exactly?
They were wearing PPE masks.
It's gotta be drugs, right? Poppy?
It's impossible to say at that distance,
but it sure wasn't apricots.
Wanna take a closer look?
- No.
- No?
Listen, we just got
escorted off the property.
We go back in uninvited
and discover a drug network,
we're likely to ruin
any subsequent investigation.
Yeah, I'm with Sarge on this one.
Any unwarranted search
will taint the evidence.
"Fruit of the poisonous tree."
Literally.
The fruit they were drying.
Look like that?
- Yeah, I think so.
- I found this in the garden.
Strychnos nux-vomica.
Strychnine?
You grind the seeds of this,
you end up with the main
ingredient in rat poison.
[MACKEY] Let's go.
- What?
- Just get in the car, Doc.
Smiles all around.
Nothing to see here. Come on.
[CAR DOORS OPEN AND CLOSE]
- [DARK MUSIC]
- [ENGINES START]
[CHILLING MUSIC]
[BOTH SPEAK INAUDIBLY]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]
[BLUE] You heard what he said, right?
Dad didn't abandon us. He died
that night in the orchard.
I'm sorry he's dead, Faith,
but it doesn't change anything.
It changes everything, Eli.
Aspira lied to us.
She told us that Dad ran away.
How are you not hearing me?
Aspira lied. It's all lies, Eli.
- Eli!
- I have to go.
This whole prophecy thing,
the Gemini twins rejoining.
When did it start?
Eli.
Eli! When did it start?
It didn't start. It's the prophecy.
- We've always believed it.
- Really?
Because I don't remember it
from the whole time that I lived here.
- You've forgotten.
- No, I haven't.
Aspira made it up.
Eli, I didn't come back here
because of a prophecy.
I came back because
Aspira broke into my flat
and told me that you needed me.
I did. I do, for the
reunification of the twins.
What does that even mean, Eli?
Think about it. Why does
Aspira want us back together?
What does she gain from that?
Same as all of us.
Ascension to the stars.
It is foretold that when
the Gemini twins are reunified,
like magic from heaven,
we can ascend and bathe
in the stars' celestial light.
Eli. Eli!
There is no celestial light
waiting for you up there.
I'm sorry you feel that way,
but I have to prepare.
It's happening tonight.
No, Eli, please trust me.
I'm trying to help you.
You already have.
The ascension is happening
because the Gemini twin returned.
It can't be undone.
Come or don't come.
It's up to you.
[UNSETTLING MUSIC]
[ELI SPEAKS INAUDIBLY]
[MUSIC INTENSIFIES]
A suicide cult? For real?
[DESHAWN] Yeah, I'm with Evie, boss.
No way Blue's chilling with
her peeps if that's what's up.
No?
Then what does this look like to you?
How about a bunch of people
leaving this life?
Add in PPE and secret strychnine and
And Bilpin Collective's
end of days is upon us.
Yeah, and what's worse?
Our visit might have
moved up their timeline.
[PEOPLE CHATTER INDISTINCTLY]
[ASPIRA] Come, come, come.
Please, please.
Here we go, everyone.
[TENSE MUSIC]
[WHISPERS] There's gotta be
a phone in here somewhere.
Come on.
[CHILLING MUSIC]
[PEOPLE CHATTER]
[ASPIRA] There we go. Lucky last, yeah?
Here she is.
Our queen.
Let's all stand.
[UNEASY MUSIC]
[ELI WHISPERS] Thank you.
[ASPIRA] Sit, everyone.
How long have we all waited for this?
[PEOPLE CLAP]
Here we are together, as it
should be, as it was foretold.
[DISTURBING MUSIC]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[ELI] Our lives here have been
prelude to something so much better.
All we have to do now is
reach out to meet it.
I love every one of you
and drink this for you
and with you.
Actually, before we begin, I
I want to say a few words.
Um
I just want to thank you all
for taking me back.
Um
Juice cleanse aside, very grateful.
Oh, the place is
What you've all done with it
is so cool.
When I was here, it was just weeds.
Very different now.
So I think that all deserves
a round of applause.
[BLUE] So as the older of
the Gemini twins
by a whole seven minutes
I'll start.
Faith, that's mine.
I know.
[BLUE EXHALES DEEPLY]
[WHISPERS] One cat-dog.
Two cat-dog.
Three cat-dog.
How long does it take
to kick in, Aspira?
Not feeling anything.
Are you sure you put
enough poison in it?
Here, why don't you have a big swig?
And you tell me what you think.
[ELI] Faith, what are you doing?
I drained her cup and yet here I am.
And now I've poured one for her
and she won't drink it.
Why do you think that is?
This is nonsense. Drink up, everyone.
You first.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[ELI] Faith.
It's been decided.
We will all ascend together.
We won't.
Her cup wasn't poisoned. You saw it.
She has no intention of dying,
but she wants all of you to die instead.
[PEOPLE] What? What?
[BLUE] She wants you all dead
so she can sell your beautiful land
and keep it for her and her alone.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
She's the poison!
Right there.
We must stay true.
Come on, darling.
You show everyone how it's done.
Our lives in the stars await.
Drink it for me. Come on.
Angel! No, no, no, no, no, no.
- No!
- [GLASS SHATTERS]
You didn't drink any, did you?
[MACKEY] NCIS, open up!
[PEOPLE SCREAM]
[MACKEY] Go, go, go!
[PEOPLE SCREAM]
[ELI COUGHS]
Eli!
No, Eli!
No, no, no.
[PEOPLE SCREAM]
[DOC ROY] Come on, let me through.
Out of the way.
[BLUE] Doc, help!
How long since he drank it?
30 seconds. Help him, Rosie, he's dying!
Call the medevac chopper.
You, water, please.
- Clean water.
- [BLUE SOBS]
[TENSE MUSIC BUILDS]
- [KEYS JANGLE]
- [GRUNTS]
[ENGINE STARTS]
Circle of life, my ass.
- [ENGINE DIES]
- [SIGHS]
[JD] Really?
How do you come up with these?
Oh, natural talent and
a love of '80s action movies.
Yippy ki-yay, Mother Hubbard.
[DOC ROY BREATHES DEEPLY]
[BLUE] Hi. How is he? Is he
- Will he
- He's stable. He's asleep.
But you can go see him if you want.
[EXHALES] Okay. Thank you.
Uh, do you want me to stay
until she gets here?
Yeah, definitely.
Actually, no, because
what if she doesn't like me
or I say something stupid
or, I don't know,
criticize her football team?
But I don't even like football,
so then I'm, like,
what are we gonna talk about
if we're talking about football?
[DOC ROY] Mmm.
She will
love you.
How could she not?
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]
Go on, Bluebird.
[WHISPERS] Go spread your wings.
[LOUISE] You must be
[BLUE] Terrified. Yes.
Uh, and and also Bluebird.
- [LOUISE] I'm terrified too!
- [BLUE CHUCKLES]
And also Nana, I guess.
Yeah. [LAUGHS]
- Hello! Hello. Hello.
- [LAUGHS]
[TENDER MUSIC]
[CHUCKLES]
Should we go and see your brother?
Yeah. Um, first, though, Nana,
I want you to meet someone.
[WHISPERS] Rosie.
[GROANS]
This is Dr Roy Penrose.
He's family too.
[DOC ROY GRUNTS]
Is this about my love of
'80s action films?
Uh, it's a lot longer conversation.
So why the cloak and dagger?
Why do you think?
It turns out a beloved member
of our law-enforcement team
is also an ex-felon.
And nobody knows it except us.
