RFDS (2021) s03e07 Episode Script
Duty of Care
Where's Graham?
He's been concussed in turbulence.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey.
Matty said you were dizzy too.
No, just a bit unsteady.
You don't need to take a paternity test
because I'm pretty sure it's yours.
Whatever you choose to do,
uh, I'd like to support you.
What are you wearing?
I'm in the car with Naomi and Aunty Sal,
on our way to the fundraiser.
I know that Poppy's not
your biological daughter.
It's never too late
to tell her the truth.
One of my best friends has
been lying to me for weeks.
I found these.
They're Taylor's.
I would like to discuss
voluntary assisted dying.
Yvette has asked me to give
testimony in court that Owen
wasn't on speed at the bus crash.
I just don't understand
why you're the one
who has to defend him.
I think you should trust your gut
on defending that bus driver.
You're brave and, uh,
I'm sorry if I've ever
made you feel otherwise.
Why haven't you spread
Timmy's ashes yet?
It's time to put him to rest.
(CHANTS IN LANGUAGE
UNKNOWN TO CAPTIONER)
Now, you can look
over the Baaka forever,
my brother.
(SIGHS)
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Alright, I've handed over the substance,
the medicines and the
drug waste container.
Any unused drugs need
to be returned to us, OK?
Right.
Now, Yvette,
you're under no obligation to
take any of these medications
and you can return
them to us at any time.
No, we're ready.
Got the playlist and everything.
She insists on the bloody Bee Gees.
I told her just this once.
You've got the rest of your
life to listen to the Stones.
Yeah, alright, alright.
And thank you for your
help with Owen's court case.
Oh, I only stated the facts.
Mm. The-the police called last night.
They downgraded the charges
from-from DUI to reckless driving.
It'll be made official today.
Even if I do go to jail, as
long as she knows the truth
So, thank you.
Thank you.
You know who to call when
Yeah, yeah.
Owen, the RFDS offer bereavement support
through the mental health
team, just if you need it.
And either way, we'll
be in touch in a week.
Thank you.
Yeah, right man.
Thanks.
Is there anything else
that we can help you with?
No. I think we're right now.
We wish you all the very best, Yvette.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
(BIRDS CHIRP)
It was so beautiful. Timmy
would be really proud.
I hope he's happy.
Yeah, this bub got some
feisty spirit here. Right?
Is that why I feel so
bloody nauseous all the time?
Don't worry, it'll settle.
Bub won't, but your symptoms will.
Good thing we've got
Aunty Sal to babysit then.
Yeah, all day, any day.
(LAUGHTER)
It was a good send off, Dad.
- Thanks for coming.
- Thank you.
Ancestors will be carrying
Baaka real high today.
The ancestors will drop him home
after they hear that big
yarn about his sore leg
and why it stopped him from
making the Yabbie's side.
(LAUGHTER)
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Fentanyl 100 mics per 2 mils,
18 vials.
Mm-hmm.
Alright look,
can you just yell at me or
something because this whole
freeze out thing is just unnerving.
Why would I yell? Not angry.
Well, you obviously feel something, so.
No.
(PHONE RINGS)
Look, I'm sorry.
And I'm sorry that I turned
into 15-year-old Matty
who is afraid of any
kind of confrontation.
But you need to admit that you
obviously had feelings for Caleb.
No, I had trust in you.
Fine, 60% betrayal by me,
40% you were into Caleb.
If that makes you feel better.
And maybe you were scared of risking
blowing up another relationship.
Excuse me? I'm the
mental health nurse here.
Don't be psychoanalysing me.
You are being
(PHONE RINGS)
Hey Mary, what's going on?
Would you do it? Assisted dying?
After doing this job for years,
there are worse ways of
going out than at home
with the person you love.
Well, thank you for coming with me.
Any time.
Eliza?
I just had a call about
a client of mine, Alex.
She has Down syndrome.
She has OCD tendencies
and severe medical anxiety.
Her mum said she was out riding alone,
came off her dirt bike.
Lots of pain in her hips and
legs and mum is stuck in Dubbo.
OK, we'll prep a retrieval.
You coming with us?
Uh, I have that mediation
with Anna and Poppy so
That's today?
Yeah.
Um, I don't know, but I think
Alex gets really anxious.
I think I should.
OK, well, we'll get
out as soon as we can.
Can you get Matty to prep
a blood shipper, four units.
- (INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
- Matty?
- Do we have transport?
- Yep.
Her mum said we can use
the ute at the strip.
How long do you think it'll take?
Well, with the right pain relief,
we should be able to
move her quite quickly.
So, Poppy agreed to meet with Anna?
Yeah.
And Anna thinks it's time
to tell her the truth.
That's courageous.
(TENSE MUSIC)
(CRIES)
Everybody out.
(WHIMPERING)
Alex, I've got Dr Eliza here
and nurse Matty's over there.
Can you tell me what happened?
I-I went riding. Is my bike OK?
Yeah, it's OK. Not as
dinged up as you, mate.
Hey Alex, can you tell me
where it hurts the most?
Hip. OK. And what does it feel like?
Does it feel like hurts worst?
That's not good.
How about we start with a little bit
of something to help the pain?
No! No!
OK, Alex, it's just it's
just a spray up the nose.
- Is that OK?
- No.
- It hurts too much.
- OK.
Um, let's-let's try some
of our breathing exercises
and imagine that we're going down
to the creek to see the animals, OK?
OK, so we're at the creek.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Who do you see?
The kangaroos.
OK, amazing.
Now, can you take
another big breath for me?
That's really good.
Hey Alex, is it alright
if I just pop this
little guy on your finger?
See, it doesn't hurt at all. Yeah?
Is that alright? Here we go.
Ahh! Ahh!
OK, OK. Sorry, Alex.
It's all done now. It's all done now.
OK, let's go back to
doing some deep breaths.
OK, deep breath in.
She has an unstable pelvis with
possible open book and swelling
to the distal thigh.
She needs a pelvic binder and traction.
Can you go grab the splint?
Does she need a fascia iliaca block?
It's not possible with that pelvis.
The safest bet is opiates and traction.
That's going to hurt like hell.
You're right.
She needs ketamine,
provided it's a slow
infusion through the driver.
- Grab that, please.
- Yeah.
It hurts.
I know.
We're just we're going to try
and take that pain away, OK?
And get some shade up.
- Shit.
- What?
Syringe driver's dead.
That means we can't
give ketamine at all.
Well, then how are we
supposed to move her?
My leg still hurts.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Mate, I had to work.
How'd it go? How you feeling?
Ah, yeah, good, and relieved.
And I know Timmy was there
because I got teary
and a gust of wind
threw a handful of dust in my eyes.
(CHUCKLES)
So, I know he was
having a laugh somewhere.
What do you reckon, Granddad?
Get cracking on that
baby room this weekend?
I don't know who you're
calling Granddad, Pops?
Mate, I'm the Great Uncle.
Not blackfella way.
Alright, if it makes you feel better.
How about Saturday?
Uh, yeah, sounds good.
- No, we can't Saturday.
- Can't do Saturday.
We've got Eliza and Ryan
coming for lunch, remember?
And you're welcome to come
but I'm assuming you're too
Yeah, no, no. No, I'm all good.
I won't fifth wheel you.
So, what's your plan there?
Are you just going to
wait 'til someone says,
"forever hold your peace,"
and then you're going
to be honest with her
or are you going to take
it all the way to the grave?
Mate, I was honest.
- About?
- About everything.
How did that go down?
Well, she went on a tropical
holiday with another bloke.
(LAUGHS)
- How do you reckon?
- Oh, sorry pal.
Guess I had to learn at some point
that it's best not to
fraternise with workmates.
Present company excepted.
(PHONE RINGS)
Naomi, hey, uh, you miss us already?
Hey, it's OK. Just
tell me what happened.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
No, it's OK.
Just give glucagon,
get access and we'll call
you from the plane, OK?
- Alright.
- What have we got?
A seven-year-old with low blood sugar.
We should get there as quick as we can.
Hope it goes OK.
Oh, I love the smell of
jet fuel in the morning.
Hey, how you feeling?
Mm, fully fit and
reporting for duty, boss.
Gray, we've got a P1 at
Carston River, 20 kilos.
Ready when you are.
See you tonight. I'm buying you dinner.
Alright.
Ahh.
- Ahh!
- I'm sorry, Alex, it's all done.
This is going to help
your bones stay put.
I want it to stop!
Hey Alex, you're doing so good.
OK, look what I brought.
Stress ball or music? Or both?
- Both.
- Both, great choice.
Get this in your ear.
Let me guess, Swift? Right.
You didn't check the syringe driver?
I thought I-I thought
I did but I must have
What, you just avoided it?
Whatever personal stuff's
going on between you two,
can we please leave it out?
I won't be receiving lectures
from either of you about
personal issues at work.
I'm the only one who's avoided
screwing the crew around here.
Oh, yeah, you just screwed them over.
Enough!
Can we please focus on getting Alex
to the plane safely and without pain?
My leg really hurts.
(TENSE MUSIC)
It's pale.
The pulse is weak.
It must be the broken femur
stopping the blood flow.
We need to get this splint on now.
Without an infusion?
That'll be excruciating.
Can we intubate her so
she can sleep through it?
Intubation is too risky
with a potentially unstable
C1 and C2 vertebrae.
What about a single dose of IV ketamine,
at least for the pain
while we apply traction?
No, the delivery's too fast.
I don't want her going into
deep sedation and travelling
without an airway.
Alright, let's give morphine
now to get the traction splint on
and then we'll give fentanyl
for any breakthrough pain on the road.
Yeah.
How about Delilah for a girl,
Freddie for a boy?
What are these names? Are
you raising them in the '50s?
We could bring them back into fashion.
What about a traditional name?
Mira, how did you come up with Kalthi?
Ahh, I think it was
Timmy's idea actually.
Let's ask your dad. Or Naomi.
- Yeah.
- Maybe there's a Tiwi name.
- (PHONE RINGS)
- Oh, it's my phone.
Here ya.
Hey, come here. Come here.
Hello.
Oh, Poppy's on her way.
- I wonder how far away Chaya is?
- Mm-hmm.
Do you think the
mediation will help them?
Depends if they can be honest.
- Hey, Mira?
- Yeah?
Any chance you can start early?
Ah, yeah, but why?
Um, are you guys right?
- Yeah, we're good.
- Yeah, we're fine.
- Say, "Bye Mama."
- Say, "Bye Mum, bye Mum."
Good girl.
Come on.
Wait.
Graham, can I talk to
you inside for a sec?
- Everything OK?
- Yeah, I just, um,
I'm going to need Mira
to take over the tasking.
What? Why?
Something's come up.
Can I talk to you inside?
What is it? Are you alright?
Did you really tell
the doctor everything?
What-what do you mean?
About the vomiting and the dizziness.
That was food poisoning.
OK, what about the memory lapses
or the migraine at
dinner the other night?
Lee, I passed the medical.
It's the concussion, isn't it?
They gave me the all clear.
You've read the report.
And I also spend more time
with you than other people
do and I can see you're not right.
What are you saying?
I have a duty of care to the team,
to our patients and
to you. And I'm sorry.
I have to stand you down.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Hey Tay, we're heading
out to the plane now.
If Anna and Poppy get there,
can you just stall them, please?
OK, thank you. See you soon.
Right Matty, can you
focus on the zero-point
survey and prep for the road
so we don't miss anything?
Hey Alex,
we're going to make our
way to the plane now, OK?
What about my bike?
What about it?
Naomi?
Through here.
She's responded to the glucose
but consciousness level's dropping.
Hey, we've got her, alright?
Uh, this is her grandmother.
We'll look after her.
Hey, can I get you
some water or something?
Yeah, just take a seat.
Hey, hey, hey, what's
your favourite subject?
- Maths.
- Really?
Well, quick quiz. How many
fingers am I holding up?
Five.
Ah, clever girl. Yeah,
already smarter than me.
I've done two gases.
She's got a pH of
7.16 and hypoglycaemia.
We'll calculate the anion gap.
It's 29.
Is that bad?
Metabolic acidosis.
There's too much acid in her blood.
Has she had any aspirin?
No.
You checked her urine?
About an hour ago.
There was nothing out of the ordinary.
OK, recheck her iStat.
Any other toxins she
may have been exposed to?
Or medications, like diabetes medicine?
Not in the house. Isoniazid
was my other thought?
Yeah, good call.
OK, um, let's give
pyridoxine to hedge our bets.
Can I Look at the
mother's records please?
Uh, yes, I'll just get them.
They're in the other room.
How we tracking with that gas, mate?
Uh, lactate's worsening.
Blood oxygen's too low.
Alright.
We're here. Well done.
Now, let's get you on the plane.
So, where does my bike fit?
Didn't we say we'd bring it to the plane
and your parents would come pick it up?
- Yeah.
- No, no.
We go together. I can't leave it.
What's that look for?
Well, can we at least try?
And get a 90 kilo dirt bike on my plane?
She's really anxious,
she's really sick and OK,
we need to get back.
So, please?
I'll shout you pub roast for a month.
It's going to take more than that?
What if we remove the rear stretcher?
And do what with them?
Give them to the kangaroos?
I don't know, leave them here.
I'll drive back later,
pick them up myself.
I'd have to check weight and balance
and I'd have to clear it with HOFO.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
I'll call Head of Flying.
But it's three months of pub roasts.
- Thank you.
- Deal.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Are you feeling OK?
Yeah, fine.
Hey.
Hi, Anna.
Um, Chaya's just had an
emergency she's had to go to,
but she'll be here really soon.
OK.
Do you guys want a cuppa?
Any chance she got into the
medicines or grog by accident?
It's a dry community.
Leighton? Leighton?
- Alright, let's prep for an LMA.
- Mm-hmm.
Ramp the oxygen up
to 15 litres a minute.
- Naomi, can you get capnometry?
- Yep.
What about food?
What did she have for
lunch at the clinic?
Ah, I was busy with the Troopie,
so I'd have to double
check what was served
but it's usually just sandwiches.
- What was wrong with it?
- Hey?
The Troopie, what were you fixing?
Ah, it was overheating
coming back from Timmy's so
Did you use coolant?
Oh, shit.
It's in an old bottle too.
What-what is it?
Ethylene glycol. It's in coolant.
Looks like cordial,
tastes just as sweet.
- Maybe she drank it.
- Oh, God!
But we don't know for sure. We
need a urine sample to confirm.
- Yeah, I'll grab a catheter.
- How toxic is it?
The ethylene glycol isn't,
but when the body
metabolises it, it's lethal.
And how long does that take?
Could just be hours.
I still can't get through to Taylor.
She must be with them.
What time's the mediation?
Now.
And what's the plan, if Anna
does tell Poppy the truth?
Well, she's still her mum.
I mean, I don't think she's
going to see her as any less.
Yeah, but what about the IGA deficiency?
Well,
Anna couldn't have known there
was going to be an accident, so
Yeah, but she didn't tell us either.
What?
I asked Anna directly at the crash
if her daughter had
been tested for the same
IGA deficiency and she said no.
If Anna had told us the whole truth,
that they weren't biologically related,
we could have given Poppy
the FFP and there's a chance
we could have saved her leg.
I didn't, um, you didn't tell me that.
I'm sorry.
I didn't piece it together
until the Christmas party
but I assumed you knew.
Yeah, I didn't. Nige,
how far off are we?
About 10.
(PHONE RINGS)
So, how's rehab?
Uh, good.
They said I can move on to
the next prosthesis soon.
That's so good, honey.
I'm so proud of you.
And I've been helping
to organise the memorial.
Yeah, Chaya said.
It's nice. They're
planting trees for everyone.
I got a ghost gum for Joey.
And I haven't had
anything to drink since
I'm going to the Smart
recovery program with Chaya
and I've even been doing that, um,
EMDR therapy with the
hypnotising fingers.
- You tried it?
- Mm.
Did it work for you?
Ah, I'm not sure yet,
but I'm giving it a go.
I've also been thinking about
packing up the farm and selling.
Really?
Only if you're OK with that of course.
I really want us to have a fresh start.
I think that sounds really good.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
So, I guess I should probably
come home and help you pack now?
Yeah, that'd be really nice.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
- Can I give you a little hug?
- Yeah.
God, I was so anxious this
morning I didn't even eat.
Me neither. Did you want
to go and get some lunch?
Yeah, OK.
Thanks Taylor, and say
thanks to Chaya for us.
Ah, well, don't-don't
you want to just wait
until she gets back?
She's going to be here
really, really soon.
Oh, no, it's fine. I'll call her later.
But you want to make sure that you
You want to go through
everything, right?
Are you OK?
It's just I'm able to make
decisions about my health
because of everything that my
mum told me about hers and
What? What what's
what are you talking about?
We appreciate your concern,
Taylor, but we're fine, alright?
Anna, it's OK.
- What's OK?
- Poppy, let's go.
What's OK? What's going on?
There's the urine.
OK, we need to test it.
Where's the UV light?
Don't have one.
There's nothing in the kit.
- You mean a blue light?
- Yeah.
Coolant contains ethylene glycol.
If it's in here, it'll
fluoresce under blue light.
Yeah, I reckon I can make one.
Naomi, have you got any sticky tape?
And Pete, can I have your blue texta?
Yep.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Wayne.
Thanks.
Naomi, do you want to get the curtains?
Huh, there it is.
We need sodium bicarbonate,
thiamine and fomepizole.
We don't stock fomepizole either.
Any other options?
We need to slow down the
production of metabolite.
- With what?
- Ethanol.
- Alcohol?
- Yeah.
Got any vodka?
In a dry community?
Wait. The RAN before
me definitely drank.
They check community mob for
grog, but not the white nurses.
I reckon he's got a
bottle stashed somewhere.
Where's his place?
- Round the block.
- I'll come with you. Let's go.
Alex is headed straight into surgery.
She needs her femur
and pelvis stabilised,
but she should make a full recovery.
Bike on the other hand, it's
going to need a triple bypass.
Are Anna and Poppy still here?
Yeah, in with in with Taylor.
No, that's OK. I'll
do the DDAs by myself.
What is going on with those two?
I have no idea. Is
everything alright with you?
No. I had to ground Graham.
What? I thought he passed his medical?
(PHONE RINGS)
- I'm really sorry.
- It's alright.
Just a minute.
Hi, Dr Rajinder.
Hi Dr Harrod,
calling with some nephrology
results of a patient of yours,
Taylor Emerson.
So, I'm not yours?
You are mine. I still gave birth to you.
It was just a donor egg.
And where did that come from?
Well, I don't know their identity.
Is Joe even my brother?
Of course he is.
No, Mum, like biologically, like
biologically is he my brother?
Well, we didn't have any problems
conceiving the first time so
Poppy, why don't we all sit
down and talk this all through.
Why did you tell her?
She didn't.
I overheard Eliza talking
about your bloods not matching.
Our bloods?
Let's just stop and take a breath.
There's clearly a lot to process.
Wait, so and you knew?
You knew I didn't have
the IGA stuff, didn't you?
- Well, I
- Didn't you?
I was going to tell you, I just
Then they could have saved my leg.
We don't know.
If we could've given plasma, we
might have had a bit more time.
Did you ask at the crash?
Mum, could you have
told them at the crash?
Yes, but I did not know
that it would mean
you would lose your
You lied to me for 18 years.
- Poppy.
- Get out of my way!
Anna.
(TENSE MUSIC)
- Do you want to check that one?
- Yep.
Shit, it's locked.
Yeah, same.
Good one.
No, none in here.
Shit. It's got to be here somewhere.
- Where is it?
- What about in there?
I don't have the key to this room.
Ah, hang on.
Ooh, how did I do that?
How did I let this happen?
Hey, hey.
It was an accident, OK?
Just-just go easy on yourself.
Hey.
You're a nurse and a
mum and this program
wouldn't exist without you, alright?
She wouldn't have
gotten poisoned either.
Yeah, and that's why we're
going to find this vodka
and we're going to fix her, alright?
- OK.
- Alright.
Now, if you were a middle
aged alcoholic FIFO nurse,
where would you hide your stash?
Mira.
Yes!
That ventilation's
holding with a rate of 28.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
- Hey, we got it.
- Uh, what's the rate?
Miz, pour half a cup
of vodka in that cup.
Two per kilo load.
Push 40 mils now and then set
the pump for 4 mils an hour.
Thank you. Sorry, behind you.
Is she seizing?
No, more likely low calcium,
dropped because of the coolant.
It was borderline on the last iStat,
so let's give her more IV please.
OK, tremor's easing.
OK, there we go.
Good girl Leighton.
She's going to be OK.
A vial of fentanyl's missing.
What do you mean it's missing?
Chaya and I checked the drugs out
and then we had a-a stressed patient
and we might have dropped
it on the retrieval?
I've submitted the RFP tender.
We have to be way above board
while they make a decision.
And also
What?
On New Year's in the
ambulance I saw Chaya
(TENSE MUSIC)
She had Taylor's
oxycodone in her pocket.
Wait, you think Chaya took the fentanyl?
I can't get hold of either of them.
I told you to just stall.
Well, I didn't know about
all that other stuff.
You still had no right.
You said you were going to be here!
Chaya, can we talk?
- Not now.
- Yeah, now please.
(LINE TRILLS)
POPPY (VOICEMAIL GREETING):
Hey it's Poppy. Leave a message.
Poppy,
I'm so sorry for
everything that's happened.
Will you please, please call me back?
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Taylor?
Do you have a moment?
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
It's just It's a setback.
I've been through way worse than this.
We both have.
We can't risk your health, Tay.
Our baby will come, one day, just
at the right time.
Do you still want to be together?
Of course I do.
You know I actually started to
come around to the name Delilah.
(LAUGHTER)
No way. No, you were right.
We'll think of something way
better when our baby does come.
OK?
OK.
Do you have any idea
where the fentanyl is?
Ah, no idea. It was a bit chaotic today.
I could have dropped it at the ute.
Um, wait, you think I stole it?
No, I didn't say that.
I said it was missing.
Have you been taking
Taylor's pain medication?
She wasn't using them
and I was in pain after
the Christmas party.
Have you taken any more since?
I haven't taken fentanyl if
that's what you're suggesting.
Eliza, you know I didn't take it.
Alright.
If it's missing, I'm sure
we'll find it but as you know,
it's a drug of dependency
and we have to do everything officially.
We're just worried about you.
Oh, now you're worried?
You've got a real shit
way of showing it, Matty.
- Oh, come on, that's
- OK.
I think you'll have
to take some time off
until we figure out what's happened.
We've got a lot of eyes
on us at the moment.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
So, you're suspending me
because of your contract tender?
No. I'm following procedure
until we figure this out.
OK, well, don't bother. I quit.
(KNOCKS DOOR)
There's my diving buddy.
Hey.
We are a long way from the reef now.
You ready to go?
Actually I've a tonne
of paperwork to do.
You all good?
I need to tell you something.
I ended up giving evidence for Owen.
And it's unofficial
but I found out today
that they're downgrading his charges.
Why'd you do it?
Because it's the truth.
Yeah, but why was it up to you?
You shouldn't have gotten involved.
You know sometimes I
feel you really get me,
like the holiday with Henry and
then you say something like that
and I'm just not sure.
Yeah, well, the holiday
wasn't me either, so
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
- What?
- It was Leonie's idea.
I got you diamond earrings
and then she told me about Ed.
Anyway, I'll see you at home, yeah?
Oh.
Hey, mate. You right for a lift?
Yeah. Darren's waiting for me outside.
What's up?
Um, my kidney function has dropped, 40%,
which isn't enough apparently.
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
OK, well, we can book in
with your specialist and
I've decided to not have the baby.
Me and Darren both have.
I'm sorry.
What? What are you apologising for?
I know how excited you were to
be world's greatest Great Uncle.
Mate, mate, don't be silly.
As long as you're healthy.
That's all I care about, Tay.
Ah, good news.
Leighton is stable
which makes this the only
day I'll celebrate with vodka.
That's such a relief.
Hey you OK?
Yeah.
Actually, there-there's
something I need to ask you.
Should I be worried about Naomi?
What?
Look, it's not
Miz. I know, it sounds silly.
It's not a jealousy thing.
I don't know, maybe it is a little bit
but it-it feels bigger than that.
Like she's incredible and
Miz, I have no idea
where this is coming from.
No, please just listen.
Um, I'm actually not angry or anything.
I just feel like you guys share so much,
like you have medicine and culture.
And just connections that I'm
never going to be able to
Connections? Miz, we've got Kalthi.
I know but even with that
there's things that like
I'm not going to be able to
teach her and stuff and
Miz,
you're her mum and you're Timmy's sister
and you're Darren's step mum.
And I adore you.
And you've kind of ruined it now
because I had this whole thing planned.
I was going to fly over
Dad's country and
What?
Now, the whole thing just feels
like a knee jerk reaction to this.
But you know what? Bugger it.
What are you talking about? What
are you what are you doing?
You've forced my hand.
(CHEERFUL MUSIC)
Oh, my God.
What?
What do you reckon, Mira Ortez?
You want to marry me?
Yes, of course.
- I love you.
- I love you.
Hello? Chaya?
Hey Matty.
Hey, um, I just came to chat.
I don't want to talk.
I'm tired of talking.
Unless it's about hot cop.
OK, hang on.
Let's compare notes.
Ah, let's not.
Um, I just wanted to talk
to you about today and
You OK?
I know what you're thinking.
You're thinking I'm a hot mess.
(CHUCKLES)
But at least I'm still hot. (CHUCKLES)
I've bever been netter. (LAUGHS)
I've-I've bever been
You OK?
Oh, wait, yep.
Here, get into there. Into there.
(VOMITS)
How about we lie down, huh?
Come here. Here we go.
There we go. On your
side, yeah like this way.
This way, there you go.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
I take it you spoke to Taylor?
Yeah, just want to get
rid of this baby stuff
somehow before she sees it.
Went a bit crazy at the baby shop.
Hey.
I know how much you wanted
things to work out for her.
Sorry.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Yeah.
I remember you telling me
having kids was like
a piece of your heart
being outside of your body.
I know I'm not her dad,
but geez I get that now.
You may not be her dad,
but you're definitely her parent.
POPPY (VOICEMAIL
GREETING): Leave a message.
Poppy? Where are you?
Please just let me explain. Please?
I just

(TENSE MUSIC)
Anna.
(CLOSING MUSIC)
He's been concussed in turbulence.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey.
Matty said you were dizzy too.
No, just a bit unsteady.
You don't need to take a paternity test
because I'm pretty sure it's yours.
Whatever you choose to do,
uh, I'd like to support you.
What are you wearing?
I'm in the car with Naomi and Aunty Sal,
on our way to the fundraiser.
I know that Poppy's not
your biological daughter.
It's never too late
to tell her the truth.
One of my best friends has
been lying to me for weeks.
I found these.
They're Taylor's.
I would like to discuss
voluntary assisted dying.
Yvette has asked me to give
testimony in court that Owen
wasn't on speed at the bus crash.
I just don't understand
why you're the one
who has to defend him.
I think you should trust your gut
on defending that bus driver.
You're brave and, uh,
I'm sorry if I've ever
made you feel otherwise.
Why haven't you spread
Timmy's ashes yet?
It's time to put him to rest.
(CHANTS IN LANGUAGE
UNKNOWN TO CAPTIONER)
Now, you can look
over the Baaka forever,
my brother.
(SIGHS)
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Alright, I've handed over the substance,
the medicines and the
drug waste container.
Any unused drugs need
to be returned to us, OK?
Right.
Now, Yvette,
you're under no obligation to
take any of these medications
and you can return
them to us at any time.
No, we're ready.
Got the playlist and everything.
She insists on the bloody Bee Gees.
I told her just this once.
You've got the rest of your
life to listen to the Stones.
Yeah, alright, alright.
And thank you for your
help with Owen's court case.
Oh, I only stated the facts.
Mm. The-the police called last night.
They downgraded the charges
from-from DUI to reckless driving.
It'll be made official today.
Even if I do go to jail, as
long as she knows the truth
So, thank you.
Thank you.
You know who to call when
Yeah, yeah.
Owen, the RFDS offer bereavement support
through the mental health
team, just if you need it.
And either way, we'll
be in touch in a week.
Thank you.
Yeah, right man.
Thanks.
Is there anything else
that we can help you with?
No. I think we're right now.
We wish you all the very best, Yvette.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
(BIRDS CHIRP)
It was so beautiful. Timmy
would be really proud.
I hope he's happy.
Yeah, this bub got some
feisty spirit here. Right?
Is that why I feel so
bloody nauseous all the time?
Don't worry, it'll settle.
Bub won't, but your symptoms will.
Good thing we've got
Aunty Sal to babysit then.
Yeah, all day, any day.
(LAUGHTER)
It was a good send off, Dad.
- Thanks for coming.
- Thank you.
Ancestors will be carrying
Baaka real high today.
The ancestors will drop him home
after they hear that big
yarn about his sore leg
and why it stopped him from
making the Yabbie's side.

Fentanyl 100 mics per 2 mils,

Mm-hmm.
Alright look,
can you just yell at me or
something because this whole
freeze out thing is just unnerving.
Why would I yell? Not angry.
Well, you obviously feel something, so.
No.
(PHONE RINGS)
Look, I'm sorry.
And I'm sorry that I turned
into 15-year-old Matty
who is afraid of any
kind of confrontation.
But you need to admit that you
obviously had feelings for Caleb.
No, I had trust in you.
Fine, 60% betrayal by me,
40% you were into Caleb.
If that makes you feel better.
And maybe you were scared of risking
blowing up another relationship.
Excuse me? I'm the
mental health nurse here.
Don't be psychoanalysing me.
You are being
(PHONE RINGS)
Hey Mary, what's going on?
Would you do it? Assisted dying?
After doing this job for years,
there are worse ways of
going out than at home
with the person you love.
Well, thank you for coming with me.
Any time.
Eliza?
I just had a call about
a client of mine, Alex.
She has Down syndrome.
She has OCD tendencies
and severe medical anxiety.
Her mum said she was out riding alone,
came off her dirt bike.
Lots of pain in her hips and
legs and mum is stuck in Dubbo.
OK, we'll prep a retrieval.
You coming with us?
Uh, I have that mediation
with Anna and Poppy so
That's today?
Yeah.
Um, I don't know, but I think
Alex gets really anxious.
I think I should.
OK, well, we'll get
out as soon as we can.
Can you get Matty to prep
a blood shipper, four units.
- (INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
- Matty?
- Do we have transport?
- Yep.
Her mum said we can use
the ute at the strip.
How long do you think it'll take?
Well, with the right pain relief,
we should be able to
move her quite quickly.
So, Poppy agreed to meet with Anna?
Yeah.
And Anna thinks it's time
to tell her the truth.
That's courageous.
(TENSE MUSIC)
(CRIES)
Everybody out.
(WHIMPERING)
Alex, I've got Dr Eliza here
and nurse Matty's over there.
Can you tell me what happened?
I-I went riding. Is my bike OK?
Yeah, it's OK. Not as
dinged up as you, mate.
Hey Alex, can you tell me
where it hurts the most?
Hip. OK. And what does it feel like?
Does it feel like hurts worst?
That's not good.
How about we start with a little bit
of something to help the pain?
No! No!
OK, Alex, it's just it's
just a spray up the nose.
- Is that OK?
- No.
- It hurts too much.
- OK.
Um, let's-let's try some
of our breathing exercises
and imagine that we're going down
to the creek to see the animals, OK?
OK, so we're at the creek.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Who do you see?
The kangaroos.
OK, amazing.
Now, can you take
another big breath for me?
That's really good.
Hey Alex, is it alright
if I just pop this
little guy on your finger?
See, it doesn't hurt at all. Yeah?
Is that alright? Here we go.
Ahh! Ahh!
OK, OK. Sorry, Alex.
It's all done now. It's all done now.
OK, let's go back to
doing some deep breaths.
OK, deep breath in.
She has an unstable pelvis with
possible open book and swelling
to the distal thigh.
She needs a pelvic binder and traction.
Can you go grab the splint?
Does she need a fascia iliaca block?
It's not possible with that pelvis.
The safest bet is opiates and traction.
That's going to hurt like hell.
You're right.
She needs ketamine,
provided it's a slow
infusion through the driver.
- Grab that, please.
- Yeah.
It hurts.
I know.
We're just we're going to try
and take that pain away, OK?
And get some shade up.
- Shit.
- What?
Syringe driver's dead.
That means we can't
give ketamine at all.
Well, then how are we
supposed to move her?
My leg still hurts.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Mate, I had to work.
How'd it go? How you feeling?
Ah, yeah, good, and relieved.
And I know Timmy was there
because I got teary
and a gust of wind
threw a handful of dust in my eyes.
(CHUCKLES)
So, I know he was
having a laugh somewhere.
What do you reckon, Granddad?
Get cracking on that
baby room this weekend?
I don't know who you're
calling Granddad, Pops?
Mate, I'm the Great Uncle.
Not blackfella way.
Alright, if it makes you feel better.
How about Saturday?
Uh, yeah, sounds good.
- No, we can't Saturday.
- Can't do Saturday.
We've got Eliza and Ryan
coming for lunch, remember?
And you're welcome to come
but I'm assuming you're too
Yeah, no, no. No, I'm all good.
I won't fifth wheel you.
So, what's your plan there?
Are you just going to
wait 'til someone says,
"forever hold your peace,"
and then you're going
to be honest with her
or are you going to take
it all the way to the grave?
Mate, I was honest.
- About?
- About everything.
How did that go down?
Well, she went on a tropical
holiday with another bloke.
(LAUGHS)
- How do you reckon?
- Oh, sorry pal.
Guess I had to learn at some point
that it's best not to
fraternise with workmates.
Present company excepted.
(PHONE RINGS)
Naomi, hey, uh, you miss us already?
Hey, it's OK. Just
tell me what happened.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
No, it's OK.
Just give glucagon,
get access and we'll call
you from the plane, OK?
- Alright.
- What have we got?
A seven-year-old with low blood sugar.
We should get there as quick as we can.
Hope it goes OK.
Oh, I love the smell of
jet fuel in the morning.
Hey, how you feeling?
Mm, fully fit and
reporting for duty, boss.
Gray, we've got a P1 at
Carston River, 20 kilos.
Ready when you are.
See you tonight. I'm buying you dinner.
Alright.
Ahh.
- Ahh!
- I'm sorry, Alex, it's all done.
This is going to help
your bones stay put.
I want it to stop!
Hey Alex, you're doing so good.
OK, look what I brought.
Stress ball or music? Or both?
- Both.
- Both, great choice.
Get this in your ear.
Let me guess, Swift? Right.
You didn't check the syringe driver?
I thought I-I thought
I did but I must have
What, you just avoided it?
Whatever personal stuff's
going on between you two,
can we please leave it out?
I won't be receiving lectures
from either of you about
personal issues at work.
I'm the only one who's avoided
screwing the crew around here.
Oh, yeah, you just screwed them over.
Enough!
Can we please focus on getting Alex
to the plane safely and without pain?
My leg really hurts.
(TENSE MUSIC)
It's pale.
The pulse is weak.
It must be the broken femur
stopping the blood flow.
We need to get this splint on now.
Without an infusion?
That'll be excruciating.
Can we intubate her so
she can sleep through it?
Intubation is too risky
with a potentially unstable
C1 and C2 vertebrae.
What about a single dose of IV ketamine,
at least for the pain
while we apply traction?
No, the delivery's too fast.
I don't want her going into
deep sedation and travelling
without an airway.
Alright, let's give morphine
now to get the traction splint on
and then we'll give fentanyl
for any breakthrough pain on the road.
Yeah.
How about Delilah for a girl,
Freddie for a boy?
What are these names? Are
you raising them in the '50s?
We could bring them back into fashion.
What about a traditional name?
Mira, how did you come up with Kalthi?
Ahh, I think it was
Timmy's idea actually.
Let's ask your dad. Or Naomi.
- Yeah.
- Maybe there's a Tiwi name.
- (PHONE RINGS)
- Oh, it's my phone.
Here ya.
Hey, come here. Come here.
Hello.
Oh, Poppy's on her way.
- I wonder how far away Chaya is?
- Mm-hmm.
Do you think the
mediation will help them?
Depends if they can be honest.
- Hey, Mira?
- Yeah?
Any chance you can start early?
Ah, yeah, but why?
Um, are you guys right?
- Yeah, we're good.
- Yeah, we're fine.
- Say, "Bye Mama."
- Say, "Bye Mum, bye Mum."
Good girl.
Come on.
Wait.
Graham, can I talk to
you inside for a sec?
- Everything OK?
- Yeah, I just, um,
I'm going to need Mira
to take over the tasking.
What? Why?
Something's come up.
Can I talk to you inside?
What is it? Are you alright?
Did you really tell
the doctor everything?
What-what do you mean?
About the vomiting and the dizziness.
That was food poisoning.
OK, what about the memory lapses
or the migraine at
dinner the other night?
Lee, I passed the medical.
It's the concussion, isn't it?
They gave me the all clear.
You've read the report.
And I also spend more time
with you than other people
do and I can see you're not right.
What are you saying?
I have a duty of care to the team,
to our patients and
to you. And I'm sorry.
I have to stand you down.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Hey Tay, we're heading
out to the plane now.
If Anna and Poppy get there,
can you just stall them, please?
OK, thank you. See you soon.
Right Matty, can you
focus on the zero-point
survey and prep for the road
so we don't miss anything?
Hey Alex,
we're going to make our
way to the plane now, OK?
What about my bike?
What about it?
Naomi?
Through here.
She's responded to the glucose
but consciousness level's dropping.
Hey, we've got her, alright?
Uh, this is her grandmother.
We'll look after her.
Hey, can I get you
some water or something?
Yeah, just take a seat.
Hey, hey, hey, what's
your favourite subject?
- Maths.
- Really?
Well, quick quiz. How many
fingers am I holding up?
Five.
Ah, clever girl. Yeah,
already smarter than me.
I've done two gases.
She's got a pH of
7.16 and hypoglycaemia.
We'll calculate the anion gap.
It's 29.
Is that bad?
Metabolic acidosis.
There's too much acid in her blood.
Has she had any aspirin?
No.
You checked her urine?
About an hour ago.
There was nothing out of the ordinary.
OK, recheck her iStat.
Any other toxins she
may have been exposed to?
Or medications, like diabetes medicine?
Not in the house. Isoniazid
was my other thought?
Yeah, good call.
OK, um, let's give
pyridoxine to hedge our bets.
Can I Look at the
mother's records please?
Uh, yes, I'll just get them.
They're in the other room.
How we tracking with that gas, mate?
Uh, lactate's worsening.
Blood oxygen's too low.
Alright.
We're here. Well done.
Now, let's get you on the plane.
So, where does my bike fit?
Didn't we say we'd bring it to the plane
and your parents would come pick it up?
- Yeah.
- No, no.
We go together. I can't leave it.
What's that look for?
Well, can we at least try?
And get a 90 kilo dirt bike on my plane?
She's really anxious,
she's really sick and OK,
we need to get back.
So, please?
I'll shout you pub roast for a month.
It's going to take more than that?
What if we remove the rear stretcher?
And do what with them?
Give them to the kangaroos?
I don't know, leave them here.
I'll drive back later,
pick them up myself.
I'd have to check weight and balance
and I'd have to clear it with HOFO.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
I'll call Head of Flying.
But it's three months of pub roasts.
- Thank you.
- Deal.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Are you feeling OK?
Yeah, fine.
Hey.
Hi, Anna.
Um, Chaya's just had an
emergency she's had to go to,
but she'll be here really soon.
OK.
Do you guys want a cuppa?
Any chance she got into the
medicines or grog by accident?
It's a dry community.
Leighton? Leighton?
- Alright, let's prep for an LMA.
- Mm-hmm.
Ramp the oxygen up
to 15 litres a minute.
- Naomi, can you get capnometry?
- Yep.
What about food?
What did she have for
lunch at the clinic?
Ah, I was busy with the Troopie,
so I'd have to double
check what was served
but it's usually just sandwiches.
- What was wrong with it?
- Hey?
The Troopie, what were you fixing?
Ah, it was overheating
coming back from Timmy's so
Did you use coolant?
Oh, shit.
It's in an old bottle too.
What-what is it?
Ethylene glycol. It's in coolant.
Looks like cordial,
tastes just as sweet.
- Maybe she drank it.
- Oh, God!
But we don't know for sure. We
need a urine sample to confirm.
- Yeah, I'll grab a catheter.
- How toxic is it?
The ethylene glycol isn't,
but when the body
metabolises it, it's lethal.
And how long does that take?
Could just be hours.
I still can't get through to Taylor.
She must be with them.
What time's the mediation?
Now.
And what's the plan, if Anna
does tell Poppy the truth?
Well, she's still her mum.
I mean, I don't think she's
going to see her as any less.
Yeah, but what about the IGA deficiency?
Well,
Anna couldn't have known there
was going to be an accident, so
Yeah, but she didn't tell us either.
What?
I asked Anna directly at the crash
if her daughter had
been tested for the same
IGA deficiency and she said no.
If Anna had told us the whole truth,
that they weren't biologically related,
we could have given Poppy
the FFP and there's a chance
we could have saved her leg.
I didn't, um, you didn't tell me that.
I'm sorry.
I didn't piece it together
until the Christmas party
but I assumed you knew.
Yeah, I didn't. Nige,
how far off are we?
About 10.
(PHONE RINGS)
So, how's rehab?
Uh, good.
They said I can move on to
the next prosthesis soon.
That's so good, honey.
I'm so proud of you.
And I've been helping
to organise the memorial.
Yeah, Chaya said.
It's nice. They're
planting trees for everyone.
I got a ghost gum for Joey.
And I haven't had
anything to drink since
I'm going to the Smart
recovery program with Chaya
and I've even been doing that, um,
EMDR therapy with the
hypnotising fingers.
- You tried it?
- Mm.
Did it work for you?
Ah, I'm not sure yet,
but I'm giving it a go.
I've also been thinking about
packing up the farm and selling.
Really?
Only if you're OK with that of course.
I really want us to have a fresh start.
I think that sounds really good.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
So, I guess I should probably
come home and help you pack now?
Yeah, that'd be really nice.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
- Can I give you a little hug?
- Yeah.
God, I was so anxious this
morning I didn't even eat.
Me neither. Did you want
to go and get some lunch?
Yeah, OK.
Thanks Taylor, and say
thanks to Chaya for us.
Ah, well, don't-don't
you want to just wait
until she gets back?
She's going to be here
really, really soon.
Oh, no, it's fine. I'll call her later.
But you want to make sure that you
You want to go through
everything, right?
Are you OK?
It's just I'm able to make
decisions about my health
because of everything that my
mum told me about hers and
What? What what's
what are you talking about?
We appreciate your concern,
Taylor, but we're fine, alright?
Anna, it's OK.
- What's OK?
- Poppy, let's go.
What's OK? What's going on?
There's the urine.
OK, we need to test it.
Where's the UV light?
Don't have one.
There's nothing in the kit.
- You mean a blue light?
- Yeah.
Coolant contains ethylene glycol.
If it's in here, it'll
fluoresce under blue light.
Yeah, I reckon I can make one.
Naomi, have you got any sticky tape?
And Pete, can I have your blue texta?
Yep.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Wayne.
Thanks.
Naomi, do you want to get the curtains?
Huh, there it is.
We need sodium bicarbonate,
thiamine and fomepizole.
We don't stock fomepizole either.
Any other options?
We need to slow down the
production of metabolite.
- With what?
- Ethanol.
- Alcohol?
- Yeah.
Got any vodka?
In a dry community?
Wait. The RAN before
me definitely drank.
They check community mob for
grog, but not the white nurses.
I reckon he's got a
bottle stashed somewhere.
Where's his place?
- Round the block.
- I'll come with you. Let's go.
Alex is headed straight into surgery.
She needs her femur
and pelvis stabilised,
but she should make a full recovery.
Bike on the other hand, it's
going to need a triple bypass.
Are Anna and Poppy still here?
Yeah, in with in with Taylor.
No, that's OK. I'll
do the DDAs by myself.
What is going on with those two?
I have no idea. Is
everything alright with you?
No. I had to ground Graham.
What? I thought he passed his medical?
(PHONE RINGS)
- I'm really sorry.
- It's alright.
Just a minute.
Hi, Dr Rajinder.
Hi Dr Harrod,
calling with some nephrology
results of a patient of yours,
Taylor Emerson.
So, I'm not yours?
You are mine. I still gave birth to you.
It was just a donor egg.
And where did that come from?
Well, I don't know their identity.
Is Joe even my brother?
Of course he is.
No, Mum, like biologically, like
biologically is he my brother?
Well, we didn't have any problems
conceiving the first time so
Poppy, why don't we all sit
down and talk this all through.
Why did you tell her?
She didn't.
I overheard Eliza talking
about your bloods not matching.
Our bloods?
Let's just stop and take a breath.
There's clearly a lot to process.
Wait, so and you knew?
You knew I didn't have
the IGA stuff, didn't you?
- Well, I
- Didn't you?
I was going to tell you, I just
Then they could have saved my leg.
We don't know.
If we could've given plasma, we
might have had a bit more time.
Did you ask at the crash?
Mum, could you have
told them at the crash?
Yes, but I did not know
that it would mean
you would lose your
You lied to me for 18 years.
- Poppy.
- Get out of my way!
Anna.
(TENSE MUSIC)
- Do you want to check that one?
- Yep.
Shit, it's locked.
Yeah, same.
Good one.
No, none in here.
Shit. It's got to be here somewhere.
- Where is it?
- What about in there?
I don't have the key to this room.
Ah, hang on.
Ooh, how did I do that?
How did I let this happen?
Hey, hey.
It was an accident, OK?
Just-just go easy on yourself.
Hey.
You're a nurse and a
mum and this program
wouldn't exist without you, alright?
She wouldn't have
gotten poisoned either.
Yeah, and that's why we're
going to find this vodka
and we're going to fix her, alright?
- OK.
- Alright.
Now, if you were a middle
aged alcoholic FIFO nurse,
where would you hide your stash?
Mira.
Yes!
That ventilation's
holding with a rate of 28.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
- Hey, we got it.
- Uh, what's the rate?
Miz, pour half a cup
of vodka in that cup.
Two per kilo load.
Push 40 mils now and then set
the pump for 4 mils an hour.
Thank you. Sorry, behind you.
Is she seizing?
No, more likely low calcium,
dropped because of the coolant.
It was borderline on the last iStat,
so let's give her more IV please.
OK, tremor's easing.
OK, there we go.
Good girl Leighton.
She's going to be OK.
A vial of fentanyl's missing.
What do you mean it's missing?
Chaya and I checked the drugs out
and then we had a-a stressed patient
and we might have dropped
it on the retrieval?
I've submitted the RFP tender.
We have to be way above board
while they make a decision.
And also
What?
On New Year's in the
ambulance I saw Chaya
(TENSE MUSIC)
She had Taylor's
oxycodone in her pocket.
Wait, you think Chaya took the fentanyl?
I can't get hold of either of them.
I told you to just stall.
Well, I didn't know about
all that other stuff.
You still had no right.
You said you were going to be here!
Chaya, can we talk?
- Not now.
- Yeah, now please.
(LINE TRILLS)
POPPY (VOICEMAIL GREETING):
Hey it's Poppy. Leave a message.
Poppy,
I'm so sorry for
everything that's happened.
Will you please, please call me back?
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Taylor?
Do you have a moment?
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
It's just It's a setback.
I've been through way worse than this.
We both have.
We can't risk your health, Tay.
Our baby will come, one day, just
at the right time.
Do you still want to be together?
Of course I do.
You know I actually started to
come around to the name Delilah.
(LAUGHTER)
No way. No, you were right.
We'll think of something way
better when our baby does come.
OK?
OK.
Do you have any idea
where the fentanyl is?
Ah, no idea. It was a bit chaotic today.
I could have dropped it at the ute.
Um, wait, you think I stole it?
No, I didn't say that.
I said it was missing.
Have you been taking
Taylor's pain medication?
She wasn't using them
and I was in pain after
the Christmas party.
Have you taken any more since?
I haven't taken fentanyl if
that's what you're suggesting.
Eliza, you know I didn't take it.
Alright.
If it's missing, I'm sure
we'll find it but as you know,
it's a drug of dependency
and we have to do everything officially.
We're just worried about you.
Oh, now you're worried?
You've got a real shit
way of showing it, Matty.
- Oh, come on, that's
- OK.
I think you'll have
to take some time off
until we figure out what's happened.
We've got a lot of eyes
on us at the moment.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
So, you're suspending me
because of your contract tender?
No. I'm following procedure
until we figure this out.
OK, well, don't bother. I quit.
(KNOCKS DOOR)
There's my diving buddy.
Hey.
We are a long way from the reef now.
You ready to go?
Actually I've a tonne
of paperwork to do.
You all good?
I need to tell you something.
I ended up giving evidence for Owen.
And it's unofficial
but I found out today
that they're downgrading his charges.
Why'd you do it?
Because it's the truth.
Yeah, but why was it up to you?
You shouldn't have gotten involved.
You know sometimes I
feel you really get me,
like the holiday with Henry and
then you say something like that
and I'm just not sure.
Yeah, well, the holiday
wasn't me either, so
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
- What?
- It was Leonie's idea.
I got you diamond earrings
and then she told me about Ed.
Anyway, I'll see you at home, yeah?
Oh.
Hey, mate. You right for a lift?
Yeah. Darren's waiting for me outside.
What's up?
Um, my kidney function has dropped, 40%,
which isn't enough apparently.
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
OK, well, we can book in
with your specialist and
I've decided to not have the baby.
Me and Darren both have.
I'm sorry.
What? What are you apologising for?
I know how excited you were to
be world's greatest Great Uncle.
Mate, mate, don't be silly.
As long as you're healthy.
That's all I care about, Tay.
Ah, good news.
Leighton is stable
which makes this the only
day I'll celebrate with vodka.
That's such a relief.
Hey you OK?
Yeah.
Actually, there-there's
something I need to ask you.
Should I be worried about Naomi?
What?
Look, it's not
Miz. I know, it sounds silly.
It's not a jealousy thing.
I don't know, maybe it is a little bit
but it-it feels bigger than that.
Like she's incredible and
Miz, I have no idea
where this is coming from.
No, please just listen.
Um, I'm actually not angry or anything.
I just feel like you guys share so much,
like you have medicine and culture.
And just connections that I'm
never going to be able to
Connections? Miz, we've got Kalthi.
I know but even with that
there's things that like
I'm not going to be able to
teach her and stuff and
Miz,
you're her mum and you're Timmy's sister
and you're Darren's step mum.
And I adore you.
And you've kind of ruined it now
because I had this whole thing planned.
I was going to fly over
Dad's country and
What?
Now, the whole thing just feels
like a knee jerk reaction to this.
But you know what? Bugger it.
What are you talking about? What
are you what are you doing?
You've forced my hand.
(CHEERFUL MUSIC)
Oh, my God.
What?
What do you reckon, Mira Ortez?
You want to marry me?
Yes, of course.
- I love you.
- I love you.
Hello? Chaya?
Hey Matty.
Hey, um, I just came to chat.
I don't want to talk.
I'm tired of talking.
Unless it's about hot cop.
OK, hang on.
Let's compare notes.
Ah, let's not.
Um, I just wanted to talk
to you about today and
You OK?
I know what you're thinking.
You're thinking I'm a hot mess.
(CHUCKLES)
But at least I'm still hot. (CHUCKLES)
I've bever been netter. (LAUGHS)
I've-I've bever been
You OK?
Oh, wait, yep.
Here, get into there. Into there.
(VOMITS)
How about we lie down, huh?
Come here. Here we go.
There we go. On your
side, yeah like this way.
This way, there you go.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
I take it you spoke to Taylor?
Yeah, just want to get
rid of this baby stuff
somehow before she sees it.
Went a bit crazy at the baby shop.
Hey.
I know how much you wanted
things to work out for her.
Sorry.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Yeah.
I remember you telling me
having kids was like
a piece of your heart
being outside of your body.
I know I'm not her dad,
but geez I get that now.
You may not be her dad,
but you're definitely her parent.
POPPY (VOICEMAIL
GREETING): Leave a message.
Poppy? Where are you?
Please just let me explain. Please?
