Doctor Doctor (2016) s04e03 Episode Script

Self-Fulilling Prophecies

I'm here to stay, and you're only here for a week or two.
Then you go, and everything goes back to the way it was before you got here.
Look me in the eye and tell me you want a divorce, and you can have one.
I should get to work.
- Val? - That did happen.
Yeah, just once, never again, probably.
Really? You can't keep losing caskets all the time.
It's untidy.
The road's on our land, so if we want it sealed, then we have to pay for it.
May all our roads be smooth trails from now on.
Way over my head, Meryl.
Just keep the lunch box.
It'll remind you how to vote.
That alpaca probably stuffed us, Meryl.
Who knew they'd turn on you like that? This lunch box had some very important papers in it, and now they're not there.
Well, I don't know about that.
Do you return what is mine, the cash, or do I tell her how you actually got the money to buy that ring? Everything we have is a lie.
Blame me if it helps.
Oh, I blame you, Meryl.
And one day I'll get you back.
If your proposal is still on offer, I would very much like to accept.
If we were to share a kid, we'd either end up killing one another or in permanent rehab.
This way we get to live our own lives.
And I can finally make my mom happy.
She's not here.
Well, she's probably in the shower.
I never saw her go.
How are you enjoying fatherhood? The first nine hours have been kind of challenging.
He still hasn't organized day care.
I refuse to change any more nappies.
I refuse.
Hey there, bubba.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Off to see Auntie Betty.
Just like that.
I'm here.
I'm here.
I'm not late, not Not very late.
Anyway But under control.
Look, Eliza, it's Auntie Betty to play with you again.
Okay, I don't think Betty's quite with us yet, so we'll go and find Uncle Ken.
Ken? Ken.
Ken.
Hugh, I thought we agreed you'd organize actual day care.
I tried.
They're all full.
- Ahh! - Uh, hello? Yes? Hello? That's my baby you're trying to abduct.
Of course it is.
This is my little granddaughter, Eliza.
I'm Harriet's mom, Dinah.
I'm your mother-in-law.
You're a cute little gorgeous little creature.
Yes, you are.
Oh, oh, oh.
Peekaboo! Peekaboo! So Harriet tells me you have substance-abuse issues.
Harriet says that? Wow.
Pot, kettle.
And you're a sex addict? I'm also a sufferer.
I quite enjoy the occasional relapse.
I'm not a sex a Shh, shh, shh, shh.
Not in front of the baby.
Let's talk about it later over drink.
Oh! Sorry.
You're an alcoholic.
Um, how long are you staying, again? Long enough to assess how my granddaughter is being raised.
I wanted to sneak up on you, observe the Knights in their natural state.
I'm a bit Dian Fossey that way.
Not that you're mountain gorillas.
Well, as you can see, Eliza is doing very well.
She's a happy, healthy, bright little girl.
She's a Knight.
The milk's off.
Well, I'm gonna go drop Jimmy off at your mum and dad's, and then I'll be in the cemetery digging holes.
Cool.
One of yours? He's Hugh's son, actually, but Hugh didn't know that for a very long time.
When he grew up, he thought Meryl was his mum.
So he's Eliza's, uh Half brother.
Right.
Heh.
Look, I really, um, have to go.
So you guys get to know each other.
Um, all seems to be working out pretty good so far.
Hugh, Meryl and I have to get out on the hustings.
- Really? - You're in politics? Yes, I'm running for reelection for local council.
I was in politics myself.
Campaign manager for Bill.
I really have to go.
Go, go, you go.
Little Eliza and I will be just fine.
You're with your family, aren't you, Eliza? Good enough for me.
Here we go.
See you, sweetheart.
Mwah! Ohh! There goes Daddy.
You gonna behave yourself? Do you even have to ask? - I don't trust Charlie.
- Oh, come on.
You're cute, but you're stupid.
You get distracted by whatever is in front of your face.
Stupid? You're a man, so you're stupid.
Look, I won't go anywhere near Charlie, and I won't let Charlie go anywhere near me.
Good.
And you'll be ready for your mum's candidate forum - this afternoon, yeah? - I will.
I'm not sure about that new chef, though.
Val's great.
Keep him happy.
Mm Now, I've got to go to this wedding expo.
It's all about weddings, Matt.
Hint, hint.
No, but seriously, we need some "matri-money.
" "Matri-money.
" Get it? It's a pun.
You're funny.
A few weddings could really turn things around at the brewery.
Love you.
Love you! Miss? Excuse me? Betty is really not handling the breakup with Darren well.
Excuse me? I Betty, we feel your loss.
Darren was an amazing goal defense.
What Ken's saying is we understand how hurt you must be.
I'm not hurt.
Then what are you feeling? Nothing I care to say out loud or want to talk about.
I know how to fix this.
I was doing a little recreational hospital accountancy Saturday night and noticed $1,000 allocated for staff development.
The hospital administrative staff external development half day.
A health spa? Is this misappropriation of public funds? I live on the edge.
So do I.
Let's do it.
Okay! I'm here.
I'm here.
Everything's sorted.
Eliza has got day care.
Good, because today is a scheduled half day away for hospital administration team staff development.
What? Oh, health spa junket.
- Can I come? - No.
You do know there's a gastro outbreak? And who better to handle it? Come on, Betty, Ken.
Oh.
I see.
No.
Oh, Peter, Anne.
- How's the potato crop? - Fine.
Don't forget there's a candidates forum this afternoon.
- Tell everybody.
- Sure.
Vote Meryl! Ah, here she is.
Nancy! Oh, lovely to see you.
Eddie.
I can't believe Annie's gone.
She was such a special person and a very dear friend.
Eddie's got an announcement.
Uh, yeah, Meryl, um Eddie's gonna stand against you in the by-election to win Annie's seat.
Yeah.
For Annie.
I see.
So it's a three-way race Me, Eddie, and Norell Horton.
Uh, no, she's out, actually.
She agreed.
Eddie's the man to beat you.
Switching horses midstream.
You sure that's wise, Nancy? Vote for Meryl! Or vote for Eddie.
He's bereaved.
Putting Eddie up against me, he's sure to suffer another devastating loss.
Ha.
Bring it on.
Eddie, I understand your grief.
When Jim died Get over it, Meryl.
It was a year ago.
The crowd will love him.
Oh, he's a moron.
That's his appeal.
Everyone sees themselves in him.
Sounds like someone's being trumped.
That's very dangerous competition.
I've got the situation in hand, thanks, Dinah.
So who's running the moron? The mayor, Nancy.
Our enemy.
You know what you've got to do? Find someone just like this guy, split the vote against you.
- A dummy candidate? - Uh-huh.
Of course.
Know anyone who will fit the bill? No one comes to mind.
It's been a very enlightening conversation, thanks, Dinah.
Keep your fluids up and perhaps stay close to a toilet.
Yeah.
- Was that it? - Yep, we cleared them.
God, we're impressive.
That was my 15 to your? - 14.
- Winning.
Working in Whyhope, still winning.
So how are you enjoying country life so far? - It is so boring.
- Hmm.
After a while, you just go numb.
I, uh I did have an idea to spice things up.
Wow.
Really? Are you serious? Well, I don't know.
Am I? God, I hope so.
Yes, you do.
Oh, dear.
I-I'm Dr.
Cordair, if you'd like to come this way.
Ohh.
So close.
Oh, and, um, that's 15.
We're even.
- She's on a junket, mate.
- Yeah, I know.
I want to do a sperm test.
Right.
Uh, are you and Penny thinking of having kids? Does that have any relevance on whether I can do the test or not? Does she know you're doing this? Again, relevance? I've worked in some pretty challenging environments.
I want to know if I'm still viable.
Right.
Fill 'er up.
Last door on your right.
Uh, Jarrod? Motivation.
Just remember, she's all you need.
For the rest of your life.
But I'm willing to go with it.
You have to.
You've got to trust me on this.
- Okay.
- It's a bit of a thing, so - All right.
I trust you.
- Good.
Hey, boss.
Get in here.
I want to run something past you.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- I'll catch you later.
- Yep.
Mate, she's a firecracker.
What do you want? So April wanted a killer new menu.
Feast your eyes.
You're idea is schnitzel? 'Round the world.
- Oh, schnitzel round the world.
- It's a genius idea.
Is it? Yeah.
Think about it.
I mean, schnitz costs nothing, like, $3.
But you dress it up, get a ham, cheese, pineapple, you're in Hawaii.
Boom, 22 bucks.
Okay.
Aussie bacon, cheese, egg maybe a bit of beetroot.
Okay.
Uh, Korean Add some kimchi.
Yeah, no, I get it.
It's just a little bit tacky.
I was hoping for something with a bit of class.
Well, April said hearty pub food with a twist.
A twist and a bit of ambition.
Sorry, is there a problem I don't know about, man? Just your crap food ideas, mate.
Start again.
Here.
My colleague here will fix you up.
Hugh Knight.
Eliza and I have gone hiking in the forest.
Now I don't know where we are.
You went bush walking with a 1-year-old? This is Australia.
Isn't that what you people do? Uh, the more sensible among us try not to.
So what, you're lost? We were on the Werewee track.
Yes, that's Warrawee.
It's not a big area.
Just whatever you do, stay where you are, okay? I'll come find you.
Doesn't sound good, mate.
People die in the bush.
Thank you, Jarrod.
It's not the bush.
It's a large park.
I'm sure they're fine.
Can you handle things? It'll be an hour tops.
Yeah, go.
You want me to come? Done a fair bit of orienteering through Warrawee.
- I'll be okay.
- Take him with you.
You're likely to get lost yourself.
She's right, mate.
I'm pretty senior in the SES.
I don't want to have to get a call out to come and find you.
Well, you coming? Come on.
Pull! Just think of it as the Knight family banding together to defeat a common foe.
This Eddie bloke? Yes, I think it's going to be very difficult for me to beat him.
But if we both run against him for council Pull! Stay focused, honey.
How's me trying to beat you going to help you beat him? Because the people who vote for you won't vote for me, but they'll probably vote for Eddie, which means you'll steal his votes.
Pull.
What if I beat you? Then we've got a Knight on council.
Can I get the road to the cemetery sealed if I'm on council? - Yes! - Sounds all right.
Hales, what do you reckon? I think you need to be true to yourself, Ajax.
I do want the road sealed.
Look, I don't say this lightly, but this just might be your destiny.
Thought only Hugh had a destiny.
All right, Mom.
Let's beat this bastard.
Great! Phil! Mom, hey.
There's been a change of plans.
Can you set the stage up with three chairs? This afternoon, yeah, I was hoping we could cancel.
Oh, don't be silly.
This is important.
Ajax is running against me for council.
- What, why? - See you at 4:00, and don't forget the hors d'oeuvres.
Phil! Yes.
Is he here? Oh, yeah, he dropped by to say good-bye.
He's quitting, by the way.
What, because I was mean about his food? No, because of other stuff I told him.
Charlie, what did you say? Oh, just the truth That you're jealous because I slept with him.
You slept with him to make me jealous.
I slept with him because he's hot.
Did he really say he's quitting? Yeah, you're a prick.
Schnitzel around the world is a good idea.
April is going to kill me.
So is Mom.
All right.
Come on.
You're going to help me get him back.
Dinah! Dinah! We might have to call a bigger search.
It's Warrawee.
How far can they get on foot? Well, it varies.
What if your mother-in-law has fallen somewhere and she's unconscious, your daughter is dehydrating? Dinah! Travels better, mate.
How is it you and I haven't spent that much time together over this past year, Hugh? I don't know, Jarrod.
It's a mystery.
We've got so much in common.
- Have we? - Yeah, Penny.
We might have to have a little chat about Penny, you and me, man to man.
Oh, I really don't think we do.
Come on, mate.
Keep up.
I do.
Matt, this wedding expo is amazing, free mimosas on arrival! I wish you were here with me.
- Yeah, me too.
- Hey, how's things? You staying away from your ex-wife? Yeah, no, no.
It's fine.
Hey, did Val show you his new menu? He seemed pretty excited about it.
Yes, he did.
He is a genius.
- April, jelly shots! - Oh, got to go.
Heather bought seven-ups, vodka jelly shots.
Love you! Okay, you too! We've got a function.
You should be prepping.
You should've told me about your whole Mormon multiple wives and girlfriends thing you've got going on.
- He wishes.
- There is nothing going on between me and Charlie, is there? Yeah, there is.
Look, I should have been more sensitive about your menu.
Mate, your head is up your ass when it comes to food.
I get it.
You're hurt, but that menu sucked.
- Matt.
- He said my head was up my ass.
So there's nothing going on between you two? Want to come inside, Charlie? - Oh, shut up, wanker.
- Matt.
I don't need you or your little brewery.
Good, because you're fired.
Good luck today.
I'm not a patient here.
I'm due to give birth in Forbes.
Okay, Ruth.
Contractions are three and 10.
You're baby is on the way, ma'am.
No, no, no, I can't give birth in Whyhope.
Why not? Because the father is here.
I'm afraid we don't have a choice.
Ruth, I can call Forbes for your antenatal history.
Is there anyone else I can call for you? Don't tell anyone I'm here.
Okay, breathe, breathe, breathe.
We just need to fill out some paperwork, and we can move you through to our birthing ward.
Everything is going to be fine.
Pick up your phone, Hugh, please.
Still no reception.
Dinah! Give me back my daughter! You don't reckon me and Penny are gonna last, eh? Penny is a nightmare, mate.
Get out while you can.
You do a lot of deflecting with humor, don't you, Hugh? I think I'm the one for her.
If you make her happy.
Well, that's what it's about, isn't it? She needs someone who's going to put her first, someone who's caring and reliable, not a narcissist, you know what I mean? No idea.
Dinah! I think we'd make good parents, me and Penny.
She doesn't want more kids.
Yeah, she does.
She just hasn't said it yet.
Right, because you know her so well.
Yeah, I do, a lot better than anyone else on the planet.
Definitely know her better than you do.
Right, do you want my honest opinion, Jarrod? Yeah, I do.
I don't think you have any idea who she is.
I mean, Penny wants to want security and stability, but in reality, it bores her.
She's too smart for it.
What she needs is someone to challenge her, deliver the interesting life she deserves.
And do I think you can do that, Jarrod? No.
I don't think you can.
Finally, a bit of truth, eh? - That way.
- Come on.
Dinah! Is Eliza okay? Oh, she's fine.
Who's your good-looking friend? Just a selfish industrialist intent on destroying the future.
I'm Jarrod.
Good to meet you.
I'm marrying the girl he likes.
- Please, shut up.
- Lucky girl.
Just sit tight, and we're going to find a clear path down, okay? Jarrod, don't.
That's stupid.
Oh, come on, Hugh.
Maybe you've done a bit more sport in your time.
- Ohh! - Jarrod! Ohh! Christ.
- You okay? - Yeah.
No problem.
Oh, geez.
That doesn't look good.
All right.
All right.
- Give us a look.
- Get out! What, I'm a doctor! You think that impresses me? Ohh! On the upside, that's a very impressive package, young man.
Could you just Please, just a little bit of space.
Thank you.
Mate, I'm going to take a close look.
- Is that all right? - Yeah, go on.
Ah.
Oh, that's swelling pretty fast Very, very fast.
Is that bad? Worst case, scrotal hematoma or testicular torsion.
Oh, the worst words I've ever heard.
Seriously, what's going on down there? Well, scrotal hematoma, there's a bleed, and the pressure can get so great that it cuts off blood supply to the testes.
Ouch.
News is, you probably won't lose both.
Suck on this for the pain.
Yes, yep.
Not if we hurry though, okay? First rule here is, time is testicle.
Why should Whyhope vote for Ajax Knight? Well, yeah, I was born here.
And he's a passionate advocate for farmers, aren't you, darling? A man committed to the land and traditional values like family, the flag, God.
Yeah, kind of.
Okay.
And where do you stand on chasing the tourist dollar for Whyhope? I'd say against.
And what about opening national parks to hunting? I'd say for it.
And what about the new skate park the high school students are partitioning for? Oh, definitely against.
That's the kind of place where drugs get dealt.
Wait a minute, Hales.
So there's nowhere to go for kids in this town, and they've got to have somewhere to go.
Ajax, Meryl said stick to the script.
And, right, they're part of this town, too.
Okay.
I think that's enough questions for now.
Thank you.
And just remember the headline reads, "Ajax is His Own Man.
" Got it.
Baby hasn't engaged yet, Ruth, so we've still got a little bit of time.
Just relax, okay? Conserve your energy.
There's a lot of fluid, possible polyhydramnios.
I've just wet myself.
Your waters have just broken.
That's fine.
We've got a cord prolapse.
Ruth, I need you to pop all the way onto your left side for me.
You're going to feel me touch you.
What? What's going on? It's okay, Ruth.
We're just going to make sure that the umbilical cord doesn't, um We're just going to make sure the umbilical cord doesn't block blood supply to the baby.
Doctor, we need to prep for C-section.
Yeah.
You need to go and apologize to him.
I'm not putting up with that.
No, I'm just joking.
But seriously, what do you think of this dress? Hint, hint, Matt.
Yeah.
Are you okay? Yeah! Sorry.
Just wanted to make you laugh, is everything all right? Yeah, it's fine.
Got to go, okay? God, you're a sulk.
We can do this.
April won't know.
What ingredients do you have? Okay, schnitzel.
There's a lot of schnitzel.
Betty, your skin is glowing after that facial.
I can't believe the benefits of colonic irrigation.
Feels like the sun is actually shining out of my Jarrod? Hi, honey.
What's going on? Uh, trauma to the testes.
I'll explain later, but the ultrasound shows good blood flow, no torsion.
So, um, no knife, mate.
You get to keep both of them.
Thank you, man, thank you.
What the hell happened? Oh, my.
Oh I miss Darren so much.
Dr.
Knight, we need you.
- What's the situation? - Cord prolapse.
Where's Dr.
Cordair? She walked out a minute ago.
What? What's going on? I can't.
I can't.
Hugh, I'll pull myself together.
Okay, I'll make the first incision now.
Retractor.
All right.
Cutting through to the uterus now.
Suction.
Oh! Okay, there we go.
There we go.
Clamp.
You clean the baby while we finish up here.
Well done.
Vote one for Meryl Knight.
Hi, vote one for Meryl.
Nancy! Oh, Eddie! What's your game, Meryl? You asked me to bring it on.
Well, consider it brought.
Excuse me.
Vote one.
Remember the elephant speech in year nine? It's like that but worse.
Listen, all you have to do is stick to the talking points.
Hayley.
And whatever the other guy says, agree with him.
What if I don't agree with him? - Pretend.
- Pretend.
How's the Italians? Saucing.
Sorry.
- Um - That's okay.
Okay, now to an issue of great importance to our town and district Roads.
Eddie, we have your thoughts, please.
Um, well, the north road into town is in a sorry state, so we should be focusing on repairing.
And I know the Knights want the town to pay for the road to their new cemetery.
That's not on.
Ajax, your thoughts, please.
I agree with Eddie.
Agree with what bit? All of it.
Roads are at the top of my agenda, but what I will say is that public and private cooperation can yield great things.
Whoo! Yes! Whoo! What about your cemetery road? You're just in it for yourself.
Yeah, Eddie's right.
Can you stop agreeing with me? All right, uh, Eddie.
Tell us how you plan to keep rates down.
Well, let him go first.
I would propose a freeze on the 40 field amenities upgrade to keep rates low.
Well, me too, but Seems to me there's really no difference between these two candidates at all.
This is a setup.
All right, everybody.
We're going to take a 10-minute breather.
This is working.
I told you.
Yes, Ajax is the perfect dummy candidate.
Did you just call me a dummy? Candidate.
Dummy candidate.
It's just an expression.
I heard what you said.
I might just take Eliza home for a nap.
Good luck with all this.
Ajax All that destiny crap, you're just using me to help you win because you think I'm dumb? I'm not dumb, Mom.
You think I am, but I'm not.
Hayley, you in on it, too? I was, but I wasn't comfortable with it.
You sure we can't call anyone for you? - I'm on my own.
- Oh.
I'll be all right though.
God, I promised myself I'd never come back here.
So what happened? Maybe I wanted to come back.
Does the father know about the baby? God, I don't know what I'm going to do.
I feel so alone.
I know how you feel.
The man I love, he was married, and then his wife passed away recently.
I wanted to wait until his grief had passed, but then I found out he's running for council and an illegitimate child could ruin things for him.
Who's the father? Maybe he's gone.
Could I get the candidates back to the stage, please? Ajax, go, go, go, go, go.
Ajax, stick to the plan.
So how do the candidates plan to deal with council landfill, which is close to capacity? Well, I've been down to tip, and it doesn't look full to me, so Well, I'd suggest a recycling information drive to help lower household waste.
I'm a farmer, so I take stuff down to the tip all the time, and it is full, Eddie.
And recycling is not going to help, Mom.
But the mine has got a disused open cut pit, and I reckon we could do a deal to move the tip there.
That's pretty smart.
Ajax, what are you doing? I'm my own man, and I don't believe in corruption from either of you.
Ajax.
Eddie, I think you're just here because the mayor put you up to it.
Am I right? You don't want to be here.
I do.
A vote for Ajax Knight is a vote for honesty.
I don't want the road to my cemetery paid for by council anymore.
I'll do that myself.
What I want is an end to us little people getting pushed around by those who think that they're better than us.
Let's make Whyhope great again! Eddie! - Dinah.
- Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
Nap time.
You have a bad day? What, besides the missing persons bush-walker? Oh, right.
That was exciting.
How's the man with the testicles? Still a man.
I need a drink.
Hugh? I need to talk to you.
You know, I'm dealing with enough crazy right now, so Please, just let me explain what happened.
- I know you're angry.
- I really don't want to hear it.
All I know is, that baby could have died.
Please, Hugh, let me buy you a drink and explain.
It was a shoulder dystocia with a postpartum hemorrhage.
Went bad fast.
The baby got stuck and died before it was born, and then the mother bled out.
We tried everything, but the bleeding was too much.
We lost them both.
Did you get counseling? Of course not.
Would you? I've never had anything like that happen to me.
Hugh, we're doctors.
We show any sign of weakness, and we're out of a job, right? I just keep seeing that mother's eyes.
I can't sleep anymore, and then things like today happen.
I get panic attacks.
I can't control them.
You can't keep working.
- You're going to kill someone.
- Don't tell Penny.
I don't want to tell Penny.
In fact, I don't want to deal with any of this.
I also don't want to endanger patients though.
I'll get counseling if you promise not to tell anyone where I'm going.
I don't think I can do that.
I'll start tomorrow.
I'll do whatever it takes.
Hugh, come on, please.
This is my career.
At least give me the opportunity to make it right.
Okay, y you've made mistakes in your career, and you got a second chance.
Give me mine.
You okay? Ohh.
Well, my nuts are not the size of grapefruits anymore, so I'm okay.
Tell me, honestly, did Hugh psychologically manipulate you into climbing down that cliff? No.
No, I'm the idiot.
Let's get married sooner.
Let's have the wedding on Sunday.
Okay.
I want to put a ring on it before you get the chance to lose any more body parts.
Mm.
Aah! There's, uh There's movement in the station.
There's blood flow down there now.
That is to say thank you.
And these are my latest brew.
Oh! Wow, that's good.
My new cycle.
April's idea.
You want to know what I miss most about us? The sex? This.
Just being able to hang out.
I miss you, Matt.
You broke my heart.
And I think I broke mine, too.
I've got to go.
Matt, don't.
Just stay.
We can have tonight, just tonight, and we'll drink to the past just as friends.
I can't.
Tonight, I will drink with you, Charlie.
Just tonight.
Good morning, babe.
Oh, my God! Did we How much did I drink last night? Calm down, nothing happened.
We had a few shots, and we just went our separate ways.
Honestly? Yeah, I needed to test something.
I haven't written in a year, Matt, nothing.
Total writer's block, but here, right here at my desk, I can write again.
- No, that doesn't work.
- I have to write here.
Charlie, it's bad enough that we sat up drinking together last night alone.
- Nothing happened.
- It doesn't matter.
You can't be here.
Please, Matt, just Just until she gets back, please? Gone before she's back.
- Our secret.
- Don't say that.
Okay.
Do you want me to make you a coffee? - Yes.
- Also, there's a Sunday quiz.
- Do you want to do it together? - Yes.
All right.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
What's happened? I've got to get home for Eliza.
I've never not woken up with her.
You're sure this isn't just your way of escaping a one-night stand? Of course it isn't.
Hello? Is someone here? You said you wanted to talk to me.
Betty.
Humiliated Meryl last night.
I liked it.
I liked watching it, and I want to see more.
What do you have against her? She took Darren away from me.
She's turned my wife against me.
Well, if you want to take Meryl down, I can help you.
- How? - Well, that depends.
You willing to go all the way? It's my destiny.
What about Eddie? Got to beat him first.
Don't worry about Eddie.
He'll do the right thing.
Mm.
Eddie's pulled out, and he's endorsing Ajax.
So Ajax could actually win? He got candidate fever.
The dummies start believing their own press and go rogue.
It can happen.
But he's your son, isn't he, or your grandson or something? Just talk him down.
I've never seen Ajax so angry.
When he gets the bit between his teeth, - he can be very determined.
- He's a Knight.
Well, from what I've seen, he's no match for you.
And destroying your own family, that's politics.
Dinah, sorry.
I had a bad time go at breakfast.
Fine.
Fine.
I'm just glad I was here to let you have a night off.
Oh, thank you.
Hello, sweetheart.
Daddy is here.
Do you have to go to work? Yes.
Okay.
Oh, I know.
- Sorry, sweetheart.
- There we go.
Say, "Bye-bye, Daddy.
" No bush walks.
I'm just here to help.
Thank you.
"Bye, Daddy.
" I've got so much wedding stuff to show you.
- Did you miss me? - Yeah, of course.
Did you behave yourself? - Do you have to ask? - You better have.
- You all right? - Yeah.
I spoke to a bunch of celebrants who want to come up to Whyhope for our wedding, hint, hint.
I'm just kidding.
I love you.
Meryl, vote one, Meryl Knight.
It's a Knight to remember.
The damn people can't read it.
Mom, I mean, Meryl, I thought I should let you know Betty is going to be running my campaign for me.
Really? Well, you can't sail people down the river and not have karma sail back up for you, Meryl.
I'm not sure I know what that means.
I'm going to beat you.
Are you sure you want to do this, honey? You wrote the headline.
I'm my own man.
I'm very proud of you.
That meant something to me yesterday.
Ajax.
What are we going to do? The only thing we can do.
Beat him.
Vote one, Meryl.
Vote one, Meryl Knight.
