[phone ringing.]
-[Eadie.]
Shay, it's me.
Is Lloyd with you? I've called him so many times.
Can you call me back? It's urgent.
-[Dom.]
Quick as you can, that's it.
Come on.
Go, go, go! [baby crying.]
Thank you.
[phone ringing.]

[intense dark music.]
[phone ringing.]
[Carl.]
"We're officially issuing heat alerts for the eight million residents of the great the greater metro area and the whole of governmental coordinating" No, no, no.
"The whole of government coordination arrangements is being activated.
Our message is simple.
People need to give heat more respect.
" Jesus wept.
I mean, who writes this? We teaching English in schools anymore? Is that still Is that still a thing? [intense music.]
[footsteps running.]
[Shay.]
Lloyd! You alright? Oh Thank god.
Hey.
Lloyd.
Hey.
Is anything broken? What happened? Oh, no.
Lloyd.
Oh.
How many? How many? [phone ringing.]
It's Eadie.
Hey.
[Eadie.]
I'm at your place.
I've got a massive favour to ask.
[Eadie.]
A family of five sized favour.
[crowd chanting angrily.]
[tender music.]
[distant sirens.]
-[Rima.]
Why are you helping us? Putting yourself out for us people you hardly know? - [Eadie.]
If the shoe was on the other foot, you'd do the same for me.
[car horn beeps twice.]
We need to go now, don't we? [distant sirens.]
Just me and Sifa.
Don't want you to go, Mamma.
[Rima whispers.]
Nothing will stop us being together.
Hey.
No mountain range, no ocean, no rules.
You need to stay focused on that.
'Cause if you give up, they win.
[whispers.]
Nofo malohi eku ofa.
[Israel whispers.]
Oku ou ofa lati atu.
[Rima hushing baby.]
[door opens.]
[door closes.]
[drone whirring.]
[baby crying.]
[Rima.]
Shh Shh [indistinct hospital PA.]
Shh Be back in a second.
[baby softly crying.]
Shh [Eadie.]
I know you can't keep them out of the system completely but if there's just any way of slowing things down.
[Salinda.]
I can't do it, Eadie.
[Eadie.]
They'll be flown back to a village that's underwater.
There is nothing for them to go back to.
That's terrible and I hope it doesn't happen.
What I can do is treat the baby because he's a genuine out-of-area emergency.
But I can't ask staff to fudge paperwork and as soon as he's well, we'll need his bed for someone who's not.
[Ralph.]
Salinda? [Salinda.]
Raph, I'm coming.
[Eadie.]
I thought it might be too much to ask.
It is.
But that never stops you from asking.
[phone typing.]
[message sent sound.]
[phone calling.]
[phone calling.]
[Lloyd on phone.]
Hey, love.
[Eadie.]
Hi.
Where are you? I've called a bunch of times.
[Lloyd.]
Yeah, yeah.
I'm sorry.
I I just had a little bingle in the van, that's all.
[Eadie.]
What? Are you OK? [Lloyd.]
Yeah, yeah.
I'm fine.
Just Just a couple of scratches.
It's I'm just I'm just tangled up in red tape, that's all.
[Eadie.]
Ah Baby Sifa went downhill, so we had to bring him to the hospital.
Ivy's with Israel at Shay's.
OK.
Yeah, OK.
I'll go there when I'm when I'm done.
[Eadie.]
Are you sure you're OK? Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm I'm good.
[Eadie.]
OK.
Bye.
[Shay.]
I'll have them fast track it.
- We'll have it first thing in the morning.
- No.
We run it here.
On our machines.
No one else knows.
Thank you.
[Shay.]
You going to tell Eadie about that? [Lloyd.]
Yeah, I have to.
What about this? Not yet.
[Lloyd.]
She's got a lot on her plate.
[Shay.]
She's always got a lot on her plate.
What's your next excuse? I don't even have a positive result yet and if we get one, then I'll choose who I tell and when I tell them.
The days of you having voting rights over me and Eadie, that's that's that's done, yeah? [faintly snoring.]
Lloyd.
Hey, poppet.
I've got to I've got to go to work for a couple of hours.
Can you look after the kids? They're still asleep.
Mmhmm.
Thank you.
[Ivy.]
All good.
[Archie.]
What's it all about? Starting with H? - Hydration, hydration, hydration! - No, my turn! Hydration.
Kids, keep it down a bit, will you? 'Cesca, why didn't you wake me up? Because it must've been past midnight by the time you finally crawled into bed.
Figured your body was telling you something.
- [Archie.]
Key energy strategy, Cosmo? - Where were you? - I - [Archie.]
Cosmo? [Archie.]
Cosmo! I just I ended up walking, that's all.
[Francesca.]
Walking? In that heat? Key energy strategy, mate! - Listen - [Archie.]
Cosmo! [Archie.]
Answer the question and you can get a lolly.
I think we should go to the farm for a bit.
[Archie.]
Girls! Focus! What are you doing? Pack enough so that if we get there, we might want to stay for a while.
-[Tillie.]
What the heck? [Francesca.]
Stay for a while? What does that mean? [Tillie.]
No! Mum! - [Archie.]
Don't! Don't, don't dob! - [Tillie.]
He's breaking it! [Archie.]
Answer the question properly, yeah? Things here [Archie.]
Alright! Let's start again! Just It just feels like it's time to go.
What's going on, Dom? Has something happened? No.
Nothing, nothing.
- I just - [Archie.]
What's it all about? [Archie.]
Starting with H.
I just want to keep you safe, that's all.
Safe? Yeah.
I know things have been Things have been a bit tough lately.
Has something happened? Dom, just tell me.
It's all good, it's all good.
That's not an answer.
Look, we'll talk about it when we get there.
You pack and I'll swing by and pick you up at the end of the day.
[Archie.]
Key energy strategy.
Cosmo? No.
- We can't go today.
- [Archie.]
I don't care! - [Dom.]
Course we can.
- No, we can't.
I've got plans.
- I'm doing stuff with the kids.
- So cancel.
No! You don't just get to do this, Dom.
- [Tillie.]
I don't know! - You don't just make decisions without me.
- [Archie.]
Give me it! Stop! - I am your partner, not your PA.
Jesus Christ! Keep fighting over it, it goes in the bin! [Archie.]
Told you.
I've got to go.
We'll talk later.
[Ivy.]
OK, first animal.
- [Talia.]
A mouse.
- [Ivy.]
A mouse.
OK.
[Ivy.]
And I'm going to need another animal.
So, Leroy? You got an animal? [Leroy.]
Ah Dragonfly.
[Ivy.]
A dragonfly.
OK.
So It's a mouse fly.
[knocking.]
[man.]
National Border Authority.
Open the door.
[Ivy.]
Come on.
Quick as you can.
We're going to play a game of hide and seek.
So, hide in the corner.
[woman.]
Hello? Can you open the door? We just need to talk to you.
[knocking.]
[man.]
We know that you're in there.
Can you open the door, please? [loud knocking.]
[man.]
National Border Authority! [loud knocking.]
Hey! Leroy! [man.]
Stop! Hey! Stop! [Talia.]
No! [Ivy.]
Leave him! Talia! - [Talia.]
Leave him alone! Leroy! - [Ivy.]
Let him go! -[Ivy.]
You're lying! [man.]
Don't be stupid! Think he's my star patient today.
Yes, you are, baby.
- [Eadie.]
Ivy? - They took them.
What? They came and they took Leroy and Talia.
- [Rima.]
How can they just take them like that? -[Eadie.]
Hey [indistinct police radio comms.]
Where are my children? Mrs.
Latu, we're from the Department of Domestic Affairs.
I'm afraid we need to inform you that you and your children have overstayed the terms of your visa.
Where are my children? They are with the Children's Immigration Guardian Where?! Mrs.
Latu, you're here without a valid visa.
You've been identified as illegal noncitizens.
[baby crying.]
As soon as your baby is well, you and the three children will be repatriated to Tonga.
[baby crying.]
I'm sorry, but this is a hospital.
You can't just barge in here.
Documentation's all there.
If you're done, I'd like you to leave.
This baby is sick and the last thing this family needs are you people threatening them.
We can wait.
But we're required to take them into custody as soon as the discharge papers have been signed.
[baby crying.]
We won't be leaving here without them.
I'll get the admission details.
Doctor.
[Eadie.]
Of all the Border officers in all the world [Ben.]
Yeah, I was surprised to hear your name at the briefing.
What are you guys doing here, Ben? This is nuts.
You can't seriously go through with it? I have gone back through all the paperwork.
All their applications have been turned down.
They don't qualify to stay.
Don't qualify? Do you actually know what you're sending them back to? But I'm just telling you right, wrong or indifferent, the government don't recognise their situation as one which qualifies as worthy of our protection.
[indistinct hospital PA.]
Look, I can try and make things as civilised as possible but If you tell me you're just doing your job [under breath.]
Jesus.
[beep.]
Excuse me.
Israel? Israel, what's happened? You can't just leave! Excuse me.
[Archie.]
Cosmo! Why did you take stuff from the bug out bag? Cosmo! Carlos isn't eating.
[lift bell rings.]
I don't give a shit about Carlos.
[lift doors open.]
You're going to pick up every piece of equipment and when Dad [quietly.]
What are Go away! [lift bell rings.]
[lift bell rings.]
[Francesca.]
That would be amazing.
Thank you so much.
Yeah, yeah.
Great.
OK.
We'll see you tomorrow.
Everything alright, boys? [Archie.]
Everything's great.
OK.
Well, can you please pick this stuff up? It shouldn't be out of those backpacks.
His temperature's come down.
He's doing really well but that leaves us with a different problem because now, I don't know how to stop him being discharged.
No, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
We're of the understanding that there's no further medical concern.
[Eadie.]
Sorry, no.
You haven't discharged him, have you? - No.
-[officer.]
Mrs.
Latu, time to go.
- Are you the children's father? - Hang on, this is not happening.
No one's going anywhere until we know our kids are alright.
Just calm down, please, sir.
[Eadie.]
You can't just pack them off to somewhere that's not safe.
I understand you're upset but there are laws in place.
[Ivy.]
The laws don't make any sense! [Eadie.]
Their home is underwater.
- [Eadie.]
They have no shelter.
- Hey, hey, hey! Hey, listen, we'll take you to the kids, alright? We can all just sit down and work through the options.
- Let her go! - Back off, mate! - You want to spend the night in a cell? - You think I give a shit?! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Everyone just needs to calm down! Mr.
Latu, sir.
Your wife and your kids need you here with them, OK? So, you need to take a breath for them.
Alright? Everyone just needs to settle down.
This is This is This is not what doctors do.
We We don't release patients back into danger.
We actually can't.
As medical professionals, you're his admitting doctor and as is the case with every single child under your care, you cannot discharge Sifa until a safe environment has been identified, and sending him back is not safe.
Dr.
Boulay is right.
[gentle music.]
- [Shay.]
Man - It's OK.
It's OK.
It's OK.
[Shay.]
We need to talk about funding.
[Herman.]
There's nothing to talk about.
[Shay.]
Yes, there is.
Dom, Karima, Carl.
You put the triangle together and the fact they cut you out somewhere along the line does not absolve you of anything.
That man in there was robbed of the right to finish his work and do it right and you need to give that back to him.
So, I argue for the funding to be reinstated or Or what? You go to the board and report me for trying to arrange a private partner for a desperately needed project? Is that what this is? No, Herman.
You do it because it's the right thing to do.
[woman.]
we do some colouring while we're waiting for Mum and Dad? I brought you some books.
Here you go.
OK, got it? Here we go.
Won't be long all right? [baby crying.]
-[Man whispering.]
Let's be gentle.
Mr.
and Mrs.
Latu, the children are waiting downstairs.
If you get your things together, we can take you down to them right now.
Hang on.
What happens to Rima and Sifa if they go down there? There's been no discharge yet? Not relevant.
They're coming with us voluntarily.
Because you're bribing them with their children and then you'll just take them straight to the airport.
They're very keen to see you, Mrs.
Latu.
Hey, what if I go down? They can't take me because they haven't cancelled my visa yet.
And I'll see if the kids are OK and then we can decide.
- OK.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
- OK.
I'll go.
- [Israel.]
Leroy! Leroy! Talia! - Teti! Where's Mamma! Where's Sifa? They're upstairs.
They're OK.
They can't come out, Mr.
Latu.
We're just giving you the opportunity to see they're OK.
What are you talking about? They're in this friggin' van.
In this heat.
Open the door.
They're kids! [woman.]
Sit down, Leroy.
- [woman.]
Leroy.
- [Israel.]
Open the door! [Eadie.]
Israel.
Tell them to open the door.
- 'Cause I will smash this window.
- The moment that your wife [Ivy.]
I'm here at St Lucien's Hospital with a family from Tonga.
Do not film us.
It is against the law to film us during an operation.
- Turn that off.
- [Ivy.]
I'm not.
I'm not filming you.
- Put that phone away.
- [Eadie.]
Get away from her! Open this car! Get my kids out! - Hey! - Teti! Teti! - [woman.]
Sit down.
- No! Teti! - Talia.
- [Israel.]
Give me back my - Get him off the ground! - Get off him! Stop it! [Israel.]
I just want my kids back! [Israel.]
I'm coming, OK? I'm coming.
Let my kids out! Easy, Mr.
Latu.
Just stay with the kids, OK? Stay with the kids.
[woman.]
Just sit down.
Sit down.
- [Ivy.]
I'm here at St Lucien's Hospital - [israel.]
Oi! Open that door! With a family from Tonga.
- Do not film us.
- I'm not, I'm not filming you.
- [officer.]
Put that phone away.
- [Eadie.]
Don't threaten her! -[Ivy.]
Open the door! [Eadie.]
If you call it in and tell them he's got a gun, they'll have them at the airport in ten seconds flat.
If I don't call it in and he decides to get the gun out, there'll be 30 SWAT guys here in ten seconds flat and they won't deport him, they'll shoot him.
Can you just get me something to put it in? Yeah.
Put it in that.
You know what I'm talking about.
Do you have any idea how much they're itching for you to do something with that? [Eadie.]
It plays right into their hands, Israel.
If they push you again they push your wife, your kids it's in your hand in a heartbeat and there's no coming back.
[tense music.]
I need my kids back.
[indistinct radio comms.]
[crowd shouting.]
[shouting growing louder.]
Hey Barnes - We have a bit of a situation down here in the car park - Rough morning? - Yeah.
It's good to make noise sometimes, yeah? These are my friends and they don't want you to go back.
This is an abomination! We've got about 40 young protesters in the car park.
[Ivy.]
They can be really noisy sometimes.
But we're not going to let anything bad happen to you! [Carl.]
There's 479 heat deaths already this morning.
That's a record.
There's 4,000 calls in the queue for 000 and you can imagine how much I need this.
[Ivy.]
Let go of him! There's 100,000 views give or take.
[Carl.]
The last thing I need is a water cooler debate on migration just before I present the white paper.
It'll go from zero to hysterical in a heartbeat.
Then we get a whole tidal wave of negative publicity saying we have a sterility agenda and then the whole thing implodes.
Surely, there's a case here for ministerial discretion.
I mean, take the heat out of it.
Just Just Just correct me if I'm wrong but the reason why the Latus are at the hospital and not in Tonga is because of you? I'm assuming you told your sister about the immigration raid and she told them because the house was curiously empty when the Border Authority arrived.
She's playing you, Dom, and you're the one who's going to have to pay the cost because there comes a point where I can't protect you.
I'll talk to her.
No, it's gone It's gone way beyond that.
The Latus are not getting a visa and if your sister doesn't pull the pin on this shit show right now, she's going to jail.
[Dom.]
He's serious, Eadie.
I know you want to help them, but I've got an idea.
Why don't we just drown them here instead? Save the cost of the charter flights.
If it's If it's me going to jail or giving up the Latus, I choose jail.
Jesus, Eadie.
You're going to have to let this one go, OK? - [Eadie.]
I'm sorry - You're not sorry.
You're never sorry.
You just You stick to your position and everyone else has to pick up the pieces.
Why don't you come down here and see what's actually happening, Dom? In fact, why don't you bring Carl? He might find it really interesting.
What is it? What's happened? [Carl.]
Between 54 and 100 million environmental displacements this year.
There's 30 million of us, all this space.
I don't think anyone understands the implications of that.
[Dom.]
But how are you going to sell it? "Welcome to sunny Australia, have a nice day.
Here's a little bit of sterility with your visa.
" [Carl.]
It's not 100%.
[Karima.]
But it's near enough.
[Carl.]
OK, if we don't put some kind of immigration criteria in place, all of us, our kids, all of us, are cooked.
We're offering refuge, employment, health care, protection against Chagas, a dozen other diseases.
It's just, you know, we can't [Dom.]
What? So, you can come into the country but you can't have a family? That's what we're saying.
[Carl.]
Yeah, I can live with that.
[Karima.]
Oh, Jesus, Carl.
[Carl.]
Well, what are we going to do, Karima? We're just going to squeeze over and let the whole world in? Because you cannot bang on about environmental degradation and then just open the gates.
Yeah, I know it's unpalatable and people hate it but it's You can't have both.
You just can't.
[phone ringing.]
[Carl.]
OK, I've got to take this.
I, um [Carl.]
Let's Let's do this next week.
See you, mate.
Dom.
Please can you call him? Can you ask him to come here? Course I can.
[drumming continues.]
[siren.]
[shouting.]
[Zoe.]
Keep going! Keep going! Keep going! Keep going! Alright, who's got handcuffs? [siren.]
[drumming continues.]
[Zoe.]
Go! Go, go, go! [Zoe.]
You ready? Arms through.
Good.
You game? [whistle blow.]
[Dom.]
No.
No, that's not what I thought would happen.
I honestly thought you would you'd see the opportunity and let them fund it properly and then you'd be able to iron out the problems, the vax would get to the people who needed it instead of dying a slow death in the lab.
And when I didn't cave, you sick your dogs onto Shay.
Again, I thought she was going to try and use it as leverage to get you on board, not cut you out altogether.
I mean, I was as shocked as you were to find out that she was pushing ahead without you.
[Shay.]
Out of interest, how much was in it for you? It's not about the money.
It's about all those people who can't have children because they were vaccinated and making sure that doesn't happen to anyone else.
Eadie? Ead.
You sat there and you listened to him talk about sterilisation and you said nothing.
Well, you must know I'd never have got involved if I thought that was even a possibility.
[Eadie.]
I want to believe that, Dom.
I need to 'cause the alternative is But that lunch was two weeks ago.
It's been two weeks.
Why didn't you do anything? Because I didn't Alright, well Alright, well, what do you think I could've done? Eadie! The Latus don't get on that plane.
The fax gets binned.
That's what needs to happen.
And how I supposed to do that? [Shay.]
I don't think anyone cares how you do it, Dom.
Just get it done.
Eddie, Eadie.
You're bleeding.
Come with me.
Come.
[two heartbeats.]
Hello, double.
Hello, trouble.
[heartbeats.]
So, what does the What is the bleeding mean? People can spot all the way through.
It doesn't have to be a big deal.
Should she be on bed rest or something? [Salinda.]
Probably both should be.
Two monkeys to chase.
Hope you're ready, super dad.
What? What is it? I'm just seeing the one placenta.
[heartbeats.]
You've got monochorionic twins.
So, identical with just a single placenta.
Is that a problem? It can be.
It's It's like two seeds growing from one planter box and depending on the way the veins develop in the umbilical cords, there can be an imbalance.
So, resources not equally shared.
So, one thrives while the other struggles to survive.
You're going to have a scan every two weeks and if there's a problem, we'll be on it straight away.
OK? They're just going to have to learn to share.
[knock on door.]
I'm sorry to interrupt.
There's something you need to see.
[crowd shouting.]
It's heating up.
She's down there, furthest barrel to the right.
[crowd chanting loudly.]
Excuse me, excuse me.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Am I in trouble? No.
[Rima.]
Maybe we just Maybe we just go back and try to make an appeal from there.
[baby chattering.]
Sir.
OK.
No, no.
I can do that.
I think they'd I think they'd appreciate it.
OK.
Will do.
An olive branch from the department.
[loud shouting.]
I've got a meeting with Herman in the morning.
I heard a rumour we're getting our funding back.
He wants us to cook up something with the biomedical team.
Use everything we know about Chagas to try and find a cure instead of a vaccine.
Excuse me.
That's Herman's plan? [Shay.]
I know, right? Every now and then he comes out with a cracker.
It sounds like a good plan A.
But we're going to need a plan B, Shay.
The whole godfather thing.
That could get very real.
Eadie, the babies, that's complicated, so she's going to need a lot of support.
Hey.
I'm all in.
If it comes to that.
I'm more all-in for plan A.
Yeah.
It's a It's a better plan.
Let's go.
[angry chanting.]
[crowd.]
Save us! Save him! [crowd.]
Refugees are welcome here! - Excuse me.
Excuse me.
- [crowd.]
No hate! No fear! - Sorry, mate.
Out of the way.
- [crowd.]
Refugees are welcome here! [crowd.]
Save us! Save him! [crowd.]
Refugees are welcome here! [crowd.]
No hate! No fear! Eadie, you OK? Orders from the department to take the children upstairs for a quick visit.
[crowd.]
Refugees are welcome here! [crowd.]
No hate! No fear! Refugees are welcome here! [applause and cheering.]
Where are they taking them? [ominous music.]
[dog barks.]
[dog barks.]
[music building.]
[inaudible under music.]
My sister has a video of our lunch meeting with Karima.
You talking of the unexpected sterility benefits of the Chagas vax.
So, what, she wants to threaten me into giving them a visa.
She's not threatening you.
I am.
If the Latus don't get their visa and the vax plan doesn't get shelved, then that video will be uploaded.
I wonder what that mob outside the hospital will make of you endorsing the mass sterilisation of immigrants? See, I don't see how you follow through with that and keep your name out of it.
I'm not sure that I could.
I'm not sure that it matters anymore.
I'd think it through carefully, Dom.
There's just a lot of pressure to make an example of those people at the hospital.
Calls for a show of force.
[Carl.]
I'd be thinking about my family, if I were you, mate.
They're everywhere.
Like stray cats.
- [Tillie.]
Can I have it? - [Sage.]
No, it's mine! - [Tillie.]
Please! - [Sage.]
No! - [Tillie.]
Give it to me! - [Sage.]
No! - [Tillie.]
It's my turn! - [Sage.]
You had it all morning! [snap.]
- [Tillie.]
Great.
- [Sage.]
You broke it.
[Tillie.]
No, you did.
[Sage.]
Give it! - Kids! - [Tillie.]
It's your fault.
I need you all to pack a bag.
We're going to Aunty Bea's.
Dad said we should pack for the farm.
Well, were not going to the farm.
We're going to Aunty Bea's.
I need you to pack for a few weeks, yeah? - Maybe a month.
- Mum, does Dad know? No, he doesn't and he won't be coming with us.
Cos, you're the eldest.
You're in charge.
One more.
Right to the end.
Can you see? [Rima crying.]
[Rima crying.]
There was no departmental olive branch, was there? No comment.
[Zoe.]
Anyone who's prepared for arrest, make sure you're at the front of the crowd.
Do not resist.
But make sure someone's filming, yeah? State for the record that you are engaged in a non-violent civil disobedience.
Just like the seed I don't know where to go Through dirt and shadow I grow I'm reaching light Through the struggle Just like the seed I'm chasing the wonder [sirens, helicopter whirring.]
I unravel myself [crowd shouting.]
All in slow motion [angry shouting.]
[barking, shouting.]
[phone ringing.]
[Carl.]
Yeah.
You've got five minutes.
You cannot eat money oh no [dog barking.]
You cannot eat money oh no It's a peaceful protest! They're children! When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money oh no Lloyd! You cannot eat money oh no You cannot eat money oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money oh no All ready? [Tillie.]
We're going to Aunty Bea's.
Suffocate me So my tears can be rain [Archie.]
What are you doing with that? [Archie.]
What are you doing with it? [Archie.]
I'm taking it with us! [Cosmo.]
No you're not! So the flowers can grow back again [Archie.]
Give it back to me! Just wait for a second, girls.
'Cause just like the seed Everything wants to live We are burning our fingers It's Carl Anderson.
But we learn and forgive Nah - [Archie.]
Get off! [Cosmo.]
You idiot, stop! You cannot eat money oh no You cannot eat money oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money oh no [applause and cheering.]
You cannot eat money oh no You cannot eat money oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money oh no [Archie.]
No! [gunshot.]
Feed me some light feed me air [Francesca.]
Oh! Archie! [intense music building.]
[music stops.]
[leaves rustling.]
- [Eadie.]
Ready? - [Lloyd.]
Ready.
-[Eadie.]
Perfect.
You'll just have the ride out the pain.
There's nothing else you can do.
You can't sleep here.
- Maybe I should take her home, eh? - [Lloyd.]
Yeah.
Why don't you hang at ours? Stay for dinner.
So proud of you.
Come on.
How did she end up so much like you? Seems cruel.
Not only do you have to deal with me but I've corrupted your daughter now too.
No, I think I knew that was on the cards when I married you.
What if I did this with the drugs? [Lloyd.]
Don't.
Don't.
[Lloyd.]
It doesn't matter.
Whatever comes we're going to get through it together.
Listen to you with the blind optimism.
Yeah, well, I was I was trained by the best.
[Eadie.]
I don't know if I'd listen to me anymore.
I just get so caught up in my own story about how things should be and I'm too stubborn to let go And everyone pays the price.
I bailed on you.
I don't know.
I think I just I I lost my footing somewhere along the way.
I lost my hope.
How about now? Maybe I could borrow some of yours every now and then.
'Cause I'm in.
I'm in with both feet.
Good.
I like both your feet.
I like them very much.
What's that? It's nothing.
It's just a scratch.
[music building.]
[phone ringing.]
-[Eadie.]
Shay, it's me.
Is Lloyd with you? I've called him so many times.
Can you call me back? It's urgent.
-[Dom.]
Quick as you can, that's it.
Come on.
Go, go, go! [baby crying.]
Thank you.
[phone ringing.]
[phone ringing.]
[intense dark music.]
[phone ringing.]
[Carl.]
"We're officially issuing heat alerts for the eight million residents of the great the greater metro area and the whole of governmental coordinating" No, no, no.
"The whole of government coordination arrangements is being activated.
Our message is simple.
People need to give heat more respect.
" Jesus wept.
I mean, who writes this? We teaching English in schools anymore? Is that still Is that still a thing? [intense music.]
[footsteps running.]
[Shay.]
Lloyd! You alright? Oh Thank god.
Hey.
Lloyd.
Hey.
Is anything broken? What happened? Oh, no.
Lloyd.
Oh.
How many? How many? [phone ringing.]
It's Eadie.
Hey.
[Eadie.]
I'm at your place.
I've got a massive favour to ask.
[Eadie.]
A family of five sized favour.
[crowd chanting angrily.]
[tender music.]
[distant sirens.]
-[Rima.]
Why are you helping us? Putting yourself out for us people you hardly know? - [Eadie.]
If the shoe was on the other foot, you'd do the same for me.
[car horn beeps twice.]
We need to go now, don't we? [distant sirens.]
Just me and Sifa.
Don't want you to go, Mamma.
[Rima whispers.]
Nothing will stop us being together.
Hey.
No mountain range, no ocean, no rules.
You need to stay focused on that.
'Cause if you give up, they win.
[whispers.]
Nofo malohi eku ofa.
[Israel whispers.]
Oku ou ofa lati atu.
[Rima hushing baby.]
[door opens.]
[door closes.]
[drone whirring.]
[baby crying.]
[Rima.]
Shh Shh [indistinct hospital PA.]
Shh Be back in a second.
[baby softly crying.]
Shh [Eadie.]
I know you can't keep them out of the system completely but if there's just any way of slowing things down.
[Salinda.]
I can't do it, Eadie.
[Eadie.]
They'll be flown back to a village that's underwater.
There is nothing for them to go back to.
That's terrible and I hope it doesn't happen.
What I can do is treat the baby because he's a genuine out-of-area emergency.
But I can't ask staff to fudge paperwork and as soon as he's well, we'll need his bed for someone who's not.
[Ralph.]
Salinda? [Salinda.]
Raph, I'm coming.
[Eadie.]
I thought it might be too much to ask.
It is.
But that never stops you from asking.
[phone typing.]
[message sent sound.]
[phone calling.]
[phone calling.]
[Lloyd on phone.]
Hey, love.
[Eadie.]
Hi.
Where are you? I've called a bunch of times.
[Lloyd.]
Yeah, yeah.
I'm sorry.
I I just had a little bingle in the van, that's all.
[Eadie.]
What? Are you OK? [Lloyd.]
Yeah, yeah.
I'm fine.
Just Just a couple of scratches.
It's I'm just I'm just tangled up in red tape, that's all.
[Eadie.]
Ah Baby Sifa went downhill, so we had to bring him to the hospital.
Ivy's with Israel at Shay's.
OK.
Yeah, OK.
I'll go there when I'm when I'm done.
[Eadie.]
Are you sure you're OK? Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm I'm good.
[Eadie.]
OK.
Bye.
[Shay.]
I'll have them fast track it.
- We'll have it first thing in the morning.
- No.
We run it here.
On our machines.
No one else knows.
Thank you.
[Shay.]
You going to tell Eadie about that? [Lloyd.]
Yeah, I have to.
What about this? Not yet.
[Lloyd.]
She's got a lot on her plate.
[Shay.]
She's always got a lot on her plate.
What's your next excuse? I don't even have a positive result yet and if we get one, then I'll choose who I tell and when I tell them.
The days of you having voting rights over me and Eadie, that's that's that's done, yeah? [faintly snoring.]
Lloyd.
Hey, poppet.
I've got to I've got to go to work for a couple of hours.
Can you look after the kids? They're still asleep.
Mmhmm.
Thank you.
[Ivy.]
All good.
[Archie.]
What's it all about? Starting with H? - Hydration, hydration, hydration! - No, my turn! Hydration.
Kids, keep it down a bit, will you? 'Cesca, why didn't you wake me up? Because it must've been past midnight by the time you finally crawled into bed.
Figured your body was telling you something.
- [Archie.]
Key energy strategy, Cosmo? - Where were you? - I - [Archie.]
Cosmo? [Archie.]
Cosmo! I just I ended up walking, that's all.
[Francesca.]
Walking? In that heat? Key energy strategy, mate! - Listen - [Archie.]
Cosmo! [Archie.]
Answer the question and you can get a lolly.
I think we should go to the farm for a bit.
[Archie.]
Girls! Focus! What are you doing? Pack enough so that if we get there, we might want to stay for a while.
-[Tillie.]
What the heck? [Francesca.]
Stay for a while? What does that mean? [Tillie.]
No! Mum! - [Archie.]
Don't! Don't, don't dob! - [Tillie.]
He's breaking it! [Archie.]
Answer the question properly, yeah? Things here [Archie.]
Alright! Let's start again! Just It just feels like it's time to go.
What's going on, Dom? Has something happened? No.
Nothing, nothing.
- I just - [Archie.]
What's it all about? [Archie.]
Starting with H.
I just want to keep you safe, that's all.
Safe? Yeah.
I know things have been Things have been a bit tough lately.
Has something happened? Dom, just tell me.
It's all good, it's all good.
That's not an answer.
Look, we'll talk about it when we get there.
You pack and I'll swing by and pick you up at the end of the day.
[Archie.]
Key energy strategy.
Cosmo? No.
- We can't go today.
- [Archie.]
I don't care! - [Dom.]
Course we can.
- No, we can't.
I've got plans.
- I'm doing stuff with the kids.
- So cancel.
No! You don't just get to do this, Dom.
- [Tillie.]
I don't know! - You don't just make decisions without me.
- [Archie.]
Give me it! Stop! - I am your partner, not your PA.
Jesus Christ! Keep fighting over it, it goes in the bin! [Archie.]
Told you.
I've got to go.
We'll talk later.
[Ivy.]
OK, first animal.
- [Talia.]
A mouse.
- [Ivy.]
A mouse.
OK.
[Ivy.]
And I'm going to need another animal.
So, Leroy? You got an animal? [Leroy.]
Ah Dragonfly.
[Ivy.]
A dragonfly.
OK.
So It's a mouse fly.
[knocking.]
[man.]
National Border Authority.
Open the door.
[Ivy.]
Come on.
Quick as you can.
We're going to play a game of hide and seek.
So, hide in the corner.
[woman.]
Hello? Can you open the door? We just need to talk to you.
[knocking.]
[man.]
We know that you're in there.
Can you open the door, please? [loud knocking.]
[man.]
National Border Authority! [loud knocking.]
Hey! Leroy! [man.]
Stop! Hey! Stop! [Talia.]
No! [Ivy.]
Leave him! Talia! - [Talia.]
Leave him alone! Leroy! - [Ivy.]
Let him go! -[Ivy.]
You're lying! [man.]
Don't be stupid! Think he's my star patient today.
Yes, you are, baby.
- [Eadie.]
Ivy? - They took them.
What? They came and they took Leroy and Talia.
- [Rima.]
How can they just take them like that? -[Eadie.]
Hey [indistinct police radio comms.]
Where are my children? Mrs.
Latu, we're from the Department of Domestic Affairs.
I'm afraid we need to inform you that you and your children have overstayed the terms of your visa.
Where are my children? They are with the Children's Immigration Guardian Where?! Mrs.
Latu, you're here without a valid visa.
You've been identified as illegal noncitizens.
[baby crying.]
As soon as your baby is well, you and the three children will be repatriated to Tonga.
[baby crying.]
I'm sorry, but this is a hospital.
You can't just barge in here.
Documentation's all there.
If you're done, I'd like you to leave.
This baby is sick and the last thing this family needs are you people threatening them.
We can wait.
But we're required to take them into custody as soon as the discharge papers have been signed.
[baby crying.]
We won't be leaving here without them.
I'll get the admission details.
Doctor.
[Eadie.]
Of all the Border officers in all the world [Ben.]
Yeah, I was surprised to hear your name at the briefing.
What are you guys doing here, Ben? This is nuts.
You can't seriously go through with it? I have gone back through all the paperwork.
All their applications have been turned down.
They don't qualify to stay.
Don't qualify? Do you actually know what you're sending them back to? But I'm just telling you right, wrong or indifferent, the government don't recognise their situation as one which qualifies as worthy of our protection.
[indistinct hospital PA.]
Look, I can try and make things as civilised as possible but If you tell me you're just doing your job [under breath.]
Jesus.
[beep.]
Excuse me.
Israel? Israel, what's happened? You can't just leave! Excuse me.
[Archie.]
Cosmo! Why did you take stuff from the bug out bag? Cosmo! Carlos isn't eating.
[lift bell rings.]
I don't give a shit about Carlos.
[lift doors open.]
You're going to pick up every piece of equipment and when Dad [quietly.]
What are Go away! [lift bell rings.]
[lift bell rings.]
[Francesca.]
That would be amazing.
Thank you so much.
Yeah, yeah.
Great.
OK.
We'll see you tomorrow.
Everything alright, boys? [Archie.]
Everything's great.
OK.
Well, can you please pick this stuff up? It shouldn't be out of those backpacks.
His temperature's come down.
He's doing really well but that leaves us with a different problem because now, I don't know how to stop him being discharged.
No, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
We're of the understanding that there's no further medical concern.
[Eadie.]
Sorry, no.
You haven't discharged him, have you? - No.
-[officer.]
Mrs.
Latu, time to go.
- Are you the children's father? - Hang on, this is not happening.
No one's going anywhere until we know our kids are alright.
Just calm down, please, sir.
[Eadie.]
You can't just pack them off to somewhere that's not safe.
I understand you're upset but there are laws in place.
[Ivy.]
The laws don't make any sense! [Eadie.]
Their home is underwater.
- [Eadie.]
They have no shelter.
- Hey, hey, hey! Hey, listen, we'll take you to the kids, alright? We can all just sit down and work through the options.
- Let her go! - Back off, mate! - You want to spend the night in a cell? - You think I give a shit?! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Everyone just needs to calm down! Mr.
Latu, sir.
Your wife and your kids need you here with them, OK? So, you need to take a breath for them.
Alright? Everyone just needs to settle down.
This is This is This is not what doctors do.
We We don't release patients back into danger.
We actually can't.
As medical professionals, you're his admitting doctor and as is the case with every single child under your care, you cannot discharge Sifa until a safe environment has been identified, and sending him back is not safe.
Dr.
Boulay is right.
[gentle music.]
- [Shay.]
Man - It's OK.
It's OK.
It's OK.
[Shay.]
We need to talk about funding.
[Herman.]
There's nothing to talk about.
[Shay.]
Yes, there is.
Dom, Karima, Carl.
You put the triangle together and the fact they cut you out somewhere along the line does not absolve you of anything.
That man in there was robbed of the right to finish his work and do it right and you need to give that back to him.
So, I argue for the funding to be reinstated or Or what? You go to the board and report me for trying to arrange a private partner for a desperately needed project? Is that what this is? No, Herman.
You do it because it's the right thing to do.
[woman.]
we do some colouring while we're waiting for Mum and Dad? I brought you some books.
Here you go.
OK, got it? Here we go.
Won't be long all right? [baby crying.]
-[Man whispering.]
Let's be gentle.
Mr.
and Mrs.
Latu, the children are waiting downstairs.
If you get your things together, we can take you down to them right now.
Hang on.
What happens to Rima and Sifa if they go down there? There's been no discharge yet? Not relevant.
They're coming with us voluntarily.
Because you're bribing them with their children and then you'll just take them straight to the airport.
They're very keen to see you, Mrs.
Latu.
Hey, what if I go down? They can't take me because they haven't cancelled my visa yet.
And I'll see if the kids are OK and then we can decide.
- OK.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
- OK.
I'll go.
- [Israel.]
Leroy! Leroy! Talia! - Teti! Where's Mamma! Where's Sifa? They're upstairs.
They're OK.
They can't come out, Mr.
Latu.
We're just giving you the opportunity to see they're OK.
What are you talking about? They're in this friggin' van.
In this heat.
Open the door.
They're kids! [woman.]
Sit down, Leroy.
- [woman.]
Leroy.
- [Israel.]
Open the door! [Eadie.]
Israel.
Tell them to open the door.
- 'Cause I will smash this window.
- The moment that your wife [Ivy.]
I'm here at St Lucien's Hospital with a family from Tonga.
Do not film us.
It is against the law to film us during an operation.
- Turn that off.
- [Ivy.]
I'm not.
I'm not filming you.
- Put that phone away.
- [Eadie.]
Get away from her! Open this car! Get my kids out! - Hey! - Teti! Teti! - [woman.]
Sit down.
- No! Teti! - Talia.
- [Israel.]
Give me back my - Get him off the ground! - Get off him! Stop it! [Israel.]
I just want my kids back! [Israel.]
I'm coming, OK? I'm coming.
Let my kids out! Easy, Mr.
Latu.
Just stay with the kids, OK? Stay with the kids.
[woman.]
Just sit down.
Sit down.
- [Ivy.]
I'm here at St Lucien's Hospital - [israel.]
Oi! Open that door! With a family from Tonga.
- Do not film us.
- I'm not, I'm not filming you.
- [officer.]
Put that phone away.
- [Eadie.]
Don't threaten her! -[Ivy.]
Open the door! [Eadie.]
If you call it in and tell them he's got a gun, they'll have them at the airport in ten seconds flat.
If I don't call it in and he decides to get the gun out, there'll be 30 SWAT guys here in ten seconds flat and they won't deport him, they'll shoot him.
Can you just get me something to put it in? Yeah.
Put it in that.
You know what I'm talking about.
Do you have any idea how much they're itching for you to do something with that? [Eadie.]
It plays right into their hands, Israel.
If they push you again they push your wife, your kids it's in your hand in a heartbeat and there's no coming back.
[tense music.]
I need my kids back.
[indistinct radio comms.]
[crowd shouting.]
[shouting growing louder.]
Hey Barnes - We have a bit of a situation down here in the car park - Rough morning? - Yeah.
It's good to make noise sometimes, yeah? These are my friends and they don't want you to go back.
This is an abomination! We've got about 40 young protesters in the car park.
[Ivy.]
They can be really noisy sometimes.
But we're not going to let anything bad happen to you! [Carl.]
There's 479 heat deaths already this morning.
That's a record.
There's 4,000 calls in the queue for 000 and you can imagine how much I need this.
[Ivy.]
Let go of him! There's 100,000 views give or take.
[Carl.]
The last thing I need is a water cooler debate on migration just before I present the white paper.
It'll go from zero to hysterical in a heartbeat.
Then we get a whole tidal wave of negative publicity saying we have a sterility agenda and then the whole thing implodes.
Surely, there's a case here for ministerial discretion.
I mean, take the heat out of it.
Just Just Just correct me if I'm wrong but the reason why the Latus are at the hospital and not in Tonga is because of you? I'm assuming you told your sister about the immigration raid and she told them because the house was curiously empty when the Border Authority arrived.
She's playing you, Dom, and you're the one who's going to have to pay the cost because there comes a point where I can't protect you.
I'll talk to her.
No, it's gone It's gone way beyond that.
The Latus are not getting a visa and if your sister doesn't pull the pin on this shit show right now, she's going to jail.
[Dom.]
He's serious, Eadie.
I know you want to help them, but I've got an idea.
Why don't we just drown them here instead? Save the cost of the charter flights.
If it's If it's me going to jail or giving up the Latus, I choose jail.
Jesus, Eadie.
You're going to have to let this one go, OK? - [Eadie.]
I'm sorry - You're not sorry.
You're never sorry.
You just You stick to your position and everyone else has to pick up the pieces.
Why don't you come down here and see what's actually happening, Dom? In fact, why don't you bring Carl? He might find it really interesting.
What is it? What's happened? [Carl.]
Between 54 and 100 million environmental displacements this year.
There's 30 million of us, all this space.
I don't think anyone understands the implications of that.
[Dom.]
But how are you going to sell it? "Welcome to sunny Australia, have a nice day.
Here's a little bit of sterility with your visa.
" [Carl.]
It's not 100%.
[Karima.]
But it's near enough.
[Carl.]
OK, if we don't put some kind of immigration criteria in place, all of us, our kids, all of us, are cooked.
We're offering refuge, employment, health care, protection against Chagas, a dozen other diseases.
It's just, you know, we can't [Dom.]
What? So, you can come into the country but you can't have a family? That's what we're saying.
[Carl.]
Yeah, I can live with that.
[Karima.]
Oh, Jesus, Carl.
[Carl.]
Well, what are we going to do, Karima? We're just going to squeeze over and let the whole world in? Because you cannot bang on about environmental degradation and then just open the gates.
Yeah, I know it's unpalatable and people hate it but it's You can't have both.
You just can't.
[phone ringing.]
[Carl.]
OK, I've got to take this.
I, um [Carl.]
Let's Let's do this next week.
See you, mate.
Dom.
Please can you call him? Can you ask him to come here? Course I can.
[drumming continues.]
[siren.]
[shouting.]
[Zoe.]
Keep going! Keep going! Keep going! Keep going! Alright, who's got handcuffs? [siren.]
[drumming continues.]
[Zoe.]
Go! Go, go, go! [Zoe.]
You ready? Arms through.
Good.
You game? [whistle blow.]
[Dom.]
No.
No, that's not what I thought would happen.
I honestly thought you would you'd see the opportunity and let them fund it properly and then you'd be able to iron out the problems, the vax would get to the people who needed it instead of dying a slow death in the lab.
And when I didn't cave, you sick your dogs onto Shay.
Again, I thought she was going to try and use it as leverage to get you on board, not cut you out altogether.
I mean, I was as shocked as you were to find out that she was pushing ahead without you.
[Shay.]
Out of interest, how much was in it for you? It's not about the money.
It's about all those people who can't have children because they were vaccinated and making sure that doesn't happen to anyone else.
Eadie? Ead.
You sat there and you listened to him talk about sterilisation and you said nothing.
Well, you must know I'd never have got involved if I thought that was even a possibility.
[Eadie.]
I want to believe that, Dom.
I need to 'cause the alternative is But that lunch was two weeks ago.
It's been two weeks.
Why didn't you do anything? Because I didn't Alright, well Alright, well, what do you think I could've done? Eadie! The Latus don't get on that plane.
The fax gets binned.
That's what needs to happen.
And how I supposed to do that? [Shay.]
I don't think anyone cares how you do it, Dom.
Just get it done.
Eddie, Eadie.
You're bleeding.
Come with me.
Come.
[two heartbeats.]
Hello, double.
Hello, trouble.
[heartbeats.]
So, what does the What is the bleeding mean? People can spot all the way through.
It doesn't have to be a big deal.
Should she be on bed rest or something? [Salinda.]
Probably both should be.
Two monkeys to chase.
Hope you're ready, super dad.
What? What is it? I'm just seeing the one placenta.
[heartbeats.]
You've got monochorionic twins.
So, identical with just a single placenta.
Is that a problem? It can be.
It's It's like two seeds growing from one planter box and depending on the way the veins develop in the umbilical cords, there can be an imbalance.
So, resources not equally shared.
So, one thrives while the other struggles to survive.
You're going to have a scan every two weeks and if there's a problem, we'll be on it straight away.
OK? They're just going to have to learn to share.
[knock on door.]
I'm sorry to interrupt.
There's something you need to see.
[crowd shouting.]
It's heating up.
She's down there, furthest barrel to the right.
[crowd chanting loudly.]
Excuse me, excuse me.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Am I in trouble? No.
[Rima.]
Maybe we just Maybe we just go back and try to make an appeal from there.
[baby chattering.]
Sir.
OK.
No, no.
I can do that.
I think they'd I think they'd appreciate it.
OK.
Will do.
An olive branch from the department.
[loud shouting.]
I've got a meeting with Herman in the morning.
I heard a rumour we're getting our funding back.
He wants us to cook up something with the biomedical team.
Use everything we know about Chagas to try and find a cure instead of a vaccine.
Excuse me.
That's Herman's plan? [Shay.]
I know, right? Every now and then he comes out with a cracker.
It sounds like a good plan A.
But we're going to need a plan B, Shay.
The whole godfather thing.
That could get very real.
Eadie, the babies, that's complicated, so she's going to need a lot of support.
Hey.
I'm all in.
If it comes to that.
I'm more all-in for plan A.
Yeah.
It's a It's a better plan.
Let's go.
[angry chanting.]
[crowd.]
Save us! Save him! [crowd.]
Refugees are welcome here! - Excuse me.
Excuse me.
- [crowd.]
No hate! No fear! - Sorry, mate.
Out of the way.
- [crowd.]
Refugees are welcome here! [crowd.]
Save us! Save him! [crowd.]
Refugees are welcome here! [crowd.]
No hate! No fear! Eadie, you OK? Orders from the department to take the children upstairs for a quick visit.
[crowd.]
Refugees are welcome here! [crowd.]
No hate! No fear! Refugees are welcome here! [applause and cheering.]
Where are they taking them? [ominous music.]
[dog barks.]
[dog barks.]
[music building.]
[inaudible under music.]
My sister has a video of our lunch meeting with Karima.
You talking of the unexpected sterility benefits of the Chagas vax.
So, what, she wants to threaten me into giving them a visa.
She's not threatening you.
I am.
If the Latus don't get their visa and the vax plan doesn't get shelved, then that video will be uploaded.
I wonder what that mob outside the hospital will make of you endorsing the mass sterilisation of immigrants? See, I don't see how you follow through with that and keep your name out of it.
I'm not sure that I could.
I'm not sure that it matters anymore.
I'd think it through carefully, Dom.
There's just a lot of pressure to make an example of those people at the hospital.
Calls for a show of force.
[Carl.]
I'd be thinking about my family, if I were you, mate.
They're everywhere.
Like stray cats.
- [Tillie.]
Can I have it? - [Sage.]
No, it's mine! - [Tillie.]
Please! - [Sage.]
No! - [Tillie.]
Give it to me! - [Sage.]
No! - [Tillie.]
It's my turn! - [Sage.]
You had it all morning! [snap.]
- [Tillie.]
Great.
- [Sage.]
You broke it.
[Tillie.]
No, you did.
[Sage.]
Give it! - Kids! - [Tillie.]
It's your fault.
I need you all to pack a bag.

There's nothing else you can do.
You can't sleep here.
- Maybe I should take her home, eh? - [Lloyd.]
Yeah.
Why don't you hang at ours? Stay for dinner.
So proud of you.
Come on.
How did she end up so much like you? Seems cruel.
Not only do you have to deal with me but I've corrupted your daughter now too.
No, I think I knew that was on the cards when I married you.
What if I did this with the drugs? [Lloyd.]
Don't.
Don't.
[Lloyd.]
It doesn't matter.
Whatever comes we're going to get through it together.
Listen to you with the blind optimism.
Yeah, well, I was I was trained by the best.
[Eadie.]
I don't know if I'd listen to me anymore.
I just get so caught up in my own story about how things should be and I'm too stubborn to let go And everyone pays the price.
I bailed on you.
I don't know.
I think I just I I lost my footing somewhere along the way.
I lost my hope.
How about now? Maybe I could borrow some of yours every now and then.
'Cause I'm in.
I'm in with both feet.
Good.
I like both your feet.
I like them very much.
What's that? It's nothing.
It's just a scratch.
