Offspring (2010) s02e01 Episode Script
The Return
I really quite enjoy working with you, Dr.
Proudman.
They think my wife's alive.
I found Alice and, uh, I'm just so happy about it 'cause it's made me realise what I want.
No.
He can't be with me.
Cheers.
- Cheers.
I want to be with you.
But right now I I'm Oh - No, I Chris.
Mick? Billie, I slept with Mick.
I'm so sorry.
I can't look at you right now.
I've been making up all these scenarios in my mind you and I living in domestic bliss.
But it wouldn't be like that, would it? For Lucy's sake, do you think the three of us could live under one roof? Yeah.
A position has become available.
It's in Baltimore.
Well, here I am.
Number of months in Baltimore so far - 5.
Number of panic attacks during that time - 0.
Dr Stademan.
Dr.
Stademan, please.
Possible breech.
Thank you.
Babies I've delivered - 68.
Nina, we're ready.
- Thank you.
New friends - Flings with quite-nice men - 3.
OK, no major sparks, but at least both guys were unmarried, not my sister's ex and refrained from blowing anything up.
My sexual performance while in the US - 8.
The 8 is on a self-rating system.
I'm grounded, centred, living in the moment, confident I can hang on to this.
I'm feeling good.
Alright! Hi.
Oh, gosh.
They've just done more tests and we're waiting to hear.
Like, I just have a constant supply of tissues with me at all times.
And Ray's been teething.
I bought one of those sucky things.
So that seems to be sorted.
Um, and and I've left messages with Jimmy online and in selected South American locations.
I got the guy from the tapas bar to translate the message into Spanish.
So Jimmy's still overseas? - Yeah.
Where's your suitcase? - Oh, it's on its way to Manila.
Shit! Um, I'll I'll call the airline and I'll get them to track it down No, I'm not worrying.
It'll turn up.
It's It doesn't matter.
- You sound so calm.
I'm Oh, um, check out what I've been doing in the back seat.
It's just in the back seat.
This? - Yeah.
I thought someone should organise a family archive.
OK, so each section has key documents and captioned photos.
You know, there are still some gaps re identification.
Oh, see? Is that the farty cousin? Oh - 'Cause he looks a bit special.
I must ask Dad.
Oh, Billie, do you think this is the right time to be Neens, the man's old.
He's got a dodgy heart.
He's got a baby, no current will.
Yeah, but shouldn't you just wait until he recovers? Don't come back and feel you have to take charge.
I'm not taking charge, I'm just You like to think you're the only grown-up in the family.
Please, do we have to do this when our father's in the hospital? I've been holding the fort while you and Jimmy have been away! I've been running Darcy Proudman Real Estate.
Everything hasn't just fallen apart while you've been gone Block it out.
Block it out.
Remember how I felt in Baltimore.
I can hang on to that feeling.
Oh - You go straight up and see Dad.
I'll park the car.
- OK.
Hi.
Oh My darling girl.
Oh I'm sorry you got dragged back here from your Oh, Dad Dad, it's fine.
It's so good to see you.
Thought I might never lay eyes on you again.
I took Ray to the park Oh, it's steep.
Look out.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I used to play this game with you kids, you know, pretending you had superhero strength and then one push from your little hands and You'd fall over.
Whoa! Whoa Oh! Oh! So I was doing that with Ray.
And then the pain hit me.
It was like a steel band crushing my chest.
And the weakness.
I couldn't get up.
I thought, "I'm gonna conk out right here in this park.
" Oh, Dad.
If I die, I'm gonna leave Ray without a father.
Cardiology techniques are so sophisticated, Dad and I'm sure you're getting the optimum care When a man's on his deathbed - You're not on your deathbed.
I need you to do me two favours.
First, stop Billie hassling me about photos and papers.
She's making me feel like I'm already dead.
Oh, OK.
Well, I'll try.
Hmm.
And most important favour - go to Geraldine's house and fish her wedding ring out of the S-bend.
Sorry? Oh.
She tossed it in there when she'd just found out that Kerry Vokelzang and I had been Oh, right.
Yep.
Neen, I want to ask your mother to renew our wedding vows.
Dad.
Um, you need to identify some new shots.
Oh, just Um, is this another bastard offspring that we should know about? Neens, you find the cardiologist.
I think you should be our medical translator.
Let's have a look at this.
Hey.
Hey.
Mwah! How are you? - Good.
Good to see you.
Where's Mr Ray? Day care.
I'm starting back at work.
- Wow.
But, um I don't know now, you know, with all this.
Well, um, look, he's come through the first 24 hours.
You know that's a good sign.
You look ropy.
Oh.
Jet lag? Stressed on whooshing back here so suddenly? Actually, I'm feeling Rescue remedy.
- OK.
They really help.
That's the cardiologist.
Great.
Dr Forbes.
Hi, I'm Nina.
Um, I'm Darcy Darcy Proudman's daughter.
Yes.
Dr Proudman.
Excuse me.
Good to meet you.
- You too.
I've been taking care of your father.
You're aware we - Put in a stent? Mmm.
- Mmm.
But there's also a problem with the left descending anterior artery.
OK.
- If we have a look here.
Um, there's significant thinning in this other vessel here.
Mm-hm Hey, what's with Nina's piss-elegant ensemble? She probably just picked something comfy for the plane.
Oh - It was nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
- Well? Well, it looks like he'll he might need another procedure.
What, a bypass? Dr Forbes will make that decision this afternoon.
Wow.
Well, you're so calm about that guy cutting our father's chest open.
Well, coronary bypass surgery is really a standard thing these days.
What, is that your doctor voice? No.
You asked me to be the medical liaison person.
Yeah, but it doesn't mean you have to be all Mrs.
Detached Professional about it.
I mean, this is our dad that we're talking about.
Now, I don't understand what's going on.
Where are you? Hello? Nina? Neens This spacey thing you're doing what, is this some kind of tragic American self-actualisation ritual? No.
I'm using my imagination as my ally.
I need techniques to survive re-entry into this family.
What, we're an ordeal for you? Um, no, it's not like that.
It's great to see you.
I just I need a shower.
I'll go home.
Then we can talk properly.
At the flat, don't worry about the boxes or the musical instruments.
Sorry? Mick and me have been living there the past few weeks.
What? - It's part of the plan.
To do things the right way and not arse-about.
So I can't get pregnant until we've saved enough money for a deposit on our own place so Mick's been doing extra gigs and landscaping jobs and also we've sublet his place to some French-Canadian acrobats for extra cash.
So you've moved into my place - Neens, you came back early.
Couldn't you have gone to Mum's? Mum? Don't get me started about Mum.
You know what our mother's been doing? Oh, don't tell me now.
Neens, our mother has been toying with our father's affections.
I've been monitoring it.
Oooh.
Should I stop in on the obstetrics floor? It'd be perfectly natural to pop in and say hello to my former colleagues.
Rude not to.
And when I do run into Chris Havel, I will be poised and centred.
We went our separate ways in an atmosphere of mutual dignity.
Pretty much.
When I do see him, I'll be - Nina? Oh, Zara! Hi! - Hi.
How are you? Good.
It's great to see you.
- You too.
I know what you're thinking.
Do you? - Yeah.
That things have changed around here.
Well, well, well.
What a delight to see the doctor who delivered my exquisite baby daughter.
Hello, Martin.
Nina.
So, Kim is back at work but she's always tired because Stella's a fussy baby.
Sleeping Kim isn't much different in terms of work rate to awake Kim.
I guess not.
Hey, Kim, wake up! Open up the milk bar.
Here she comes, here she comes Oh, Nina, you're back! - Hi! Hello, Stella.
Hi, beautiful girl.
Now, remember we said no nipples in shot.
Yes.
Well, point well taken.
I'll adjust my camera angle.
Dr.
Clegg considered hormone injections so he could share in the breastfeeding.
Anatomically, Zara, it is not beyond the realms of possibility.
Even so, we decided against it.
Yes, two against one.
But I am permitted to share some parental responsibilities.
So how was Baltimore? Did you have an amazing time? - Are you back for good now? Oh, I'm not sure.
I'm I'm here now because my dad's not well.
Oh.
But, yes, I've been having an amazing time.
I've actually been invited to stay on and participate in some fascinating research projects.
Aha! You wouldn't come back to work here? You'd give up delivering babies? Oh, I'm still really passionate about my job.
But I might - What are you saying? What Dr Proudman is saying is that she has many wonderful work opportunities both here and in the United States.
Yes.
That's right.
There's some great options.
I just I haven't decided yet.
It's a shame you missed Chris Havel before he left.
Left for the day? Where did he go? Moved up to Brisbane last Tuesday.
His wife got a job up there.
Chris is back at the paeds department.
It seemed the best arrangement for them.
Mmm.
Yeah.
It's a wonderful arrangement.
I've just I've actually got to make a phone call.
I'll come back.
He's gone.
Oh, I'm on this stupid balcony.
Oh, come on.
It'll be easier if he's gone.
It'll be It it will be.
We figured that Chris had stayed in contact with you.
No.
Not a word in five months.
But you didn't know that he was leaving, did you? Oh, I knew I knew I knew No.
Are you OK? Yeah, I'm fine.
You ARE fine.
You're fine.
- Hello.
- Nina, it's me.
Jim! Where are you? Are you still stuck in Colombia? I am stuck, but not in Colombia.
How's Dad? Is he What's happening? Oh, Dad's in the hospital.
He's, um he's having tests and So he's alive? Oh, thank God.
Oh, that's so great.
Can you come downstairs and rescue me? Huh? Oh, you monkey! Nina! Nina! Jimmy - Come on! Hi.
- Are you the sister? Uh, yes.
He won't open the doors and give us our bags unless Yeah, 80 bucks.
- In cash.
Yeah, I don't want pesos or dinar or Vietnamese 'ding'.
I said 'DONG'! - It's OK.
Shh.
Australian dollars, alright? - Yeah, great.
OK.
Thanks.
Hi! Oh It's really OK? I've been travelling nonstop to get back.
I couldn't even bring my phone charger.
I was up in the volcano It's OK.
- Is he OK? Yeah, yeah, he's doing well.
Just go upstairs.
I'll take care of the bags.
OK.
I should see my father by myself first, OK? Nina will look after you.
OK.
Buenos dias.
Oh! No, I'm from Sydney.
Oh! Sorry.
Oh, no, no.
That's alright.
You weren't to know.
I'm Tammy.
- Hi.
Nina.
"Dear Dad.
"As I write this, there's a strong chance you're already dead.
"Let me make this pledge "I will always stay in Ray's life" Thank you, Jimmy.
But but really, I'm feeling tremendous now.
Don't upset yourself "l think about all the ways" When Jimmy and me met, it was like, "This is the person I was put on Earth to be with.
" You know how you just know? I do know you're so young you couldn't possibly.
Oh! Jimmy said that you do that - go into your head.
Now you're doing it right in front of me.
Oh Cool.
"We did so much together.
So many memories to share.
"My youth was so enriched by our times together.
" Dad wants to ask you something.
Yeah.
Please, get Jimmy out of here.
He's reading me the eulogy from my own funeral.
And don't forget your mother's wedding ring.
I love you both so much.
Dad, I can't wait for you to meet Tammy.
Well, Dad needs to rest right now, Jim.
OK, you meet Tammy later.
Rest up now, Dad.
Bye.
So, have you guys known each other long? I first saw her two weeks ago crying under a palm tree in Cabo San Juan.
Um, I'd just broken up with the guy I was travelling with.
A week later, we were canoeing through the Amazon when I got When Jimmy got the message about his dad.
Tammy organised a boat.
Yeah, except a mudslide meant my ingenious travel plan got stuffed.
I liked the donkey! It was better than the tractor.
Oh, my God.
And then that bus.
We had to pay a taxi 100 US bucks to take us to Lima.
Mmm.
So Jimmy could get his flight home.
Thank you.
You're so special.
Mmm Mmm Oh, Billie, I know, but I'm tired.
I just don't feel like captioning photos at the moment.
I'm tired.
I need to go home and eat something.
And I need a shower.
I really stink.
Nina! Hi.
Sorry.
No, it's OK.
I was finished.
Hi.
- You're back! Welcome back.
Are you good? - Good? I'm really good.
What have you been doing? It's good to see you.
You walking? - Yeah, I am.
Yeah.
I'm really sorry about Darce.
I'm really fond of your father.
Yeah, I know you are.
Billie missed you a lot.
Did she? Doesn't seem like it.
Oh, yeah.
She did.
She did.
But, I mean, it's like when Rocket punishes me for going away.
Like, he won't look at me, he won't lick my hand.
Even growls a bit.
So, did you get those photos done? Not yet.
Your dad wanted me to collect some songs he'd written.
I'm dropping them over to him at the hospital after this.
I need those photos, Mick, so I can get Dad to identify - Thanks.
Shouldn't you be getting off to Ballarat? There's plenty of time.
That gig pays serious money, Mick.
You cannot get wishy-washy with the plan.
The Plan has capital letters.
I can hear the capitals.
OK, well, my father is about to have his ribs wrenched apart.
You think now is the time to make lame, sarcastic Oh, he's not being sarcastic, Billie.
He's just trying to - Are you defending him now? You, of all people? Oh, that's another one.
Come on.
Get it out.
Yes.
We didn't want his sex with you to be a constantly oozing sore in the relationship.
Yeah, it's to develop a containment method.
Mick issued me with 10 vouchers.
One to be used every time Billie played the sex-with-Nina card against me in an argument - No.
Billie printed more.
After this batch, no more playing the sex-with-Nina card.
No Oh, God! Oh! Yes! Oh! Oh! Nina! - Oh, Mum! Oh, darling! Oh, you're back! Oh, it's so good to see you! How are you? - I'm good.
You look beautiful, Mum.
- Oh! What are you doing in the S-bend? Oh Never got around to writing the other verses to that one.
Oh, you'll come back to it.
I reckon a couple of these would make bloody good songs.
They could.
If I kick the bucket would you finish them off for me? I will.
Mick, I do realise Billie Proudman is hard work.
But it'd be a big relief to know that you'll stick with her.
I'm going to.
He's after the wedding ring? He's had a scare, Mum.
He's afraid that he - Might die.
Which is my fault.
- What? No, it's not.
Not unless you've figured out a way to clog up someone's artery.
No, he had bad chest pain after our last fairly vigorous encounter and I laughed it off as heartburn.
This morning, when I visited him in the hospital Mum, it's not your fault.
Nina, you have got to talk your father out of making this romantic declaration.
Oh please don't ask me to do that.
Your eyes are glassy.
Oh.
Well, it's just jet lag.
Have you seen Chris Havel yet? - He's moved to Brisbane.
Oh! Well, I chose to go to Baltimore, so it's really Yes, but it's still very distressing for you, my beautiful.
No actually.
No.
I'm feeling quite - You look ragged.
Thanks.
Why don't you go and lie down here for a few hours? Oh, it's alright.
I've got to um Well, I just have to do something.
But I'll call I'll call back.
Alright.
From deep within the bowels of Mordor, I bring you the ring, Father.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Do you think maybe you should hold off proposing at the moment? Did your mother say something? I just think right now you're you're all churned up, Dad.
Perhaps I could be the guardian of the ring for now.
Oh Thanks.
- You're welcome.
Are you Nina Proudman? Yes.
Uh, Fraser King, first-year obstetrics registrar.
Oh, hi.
- It's, uh, first week.
I remember my first week.
How are you holding up? Yeah You get very good press around the department.
Oh.
Oh Not again.
Klutz.
It's my mother's wedding ring.
- Oh.
My parents are estranged.
Well, not so estranged since they started having sex with each other again.
My father wanted me to fish it out of the S-bend so he could propose to her.
Did you need to explain that to a stranger? A very cute stranger? Hey, Dr Clegg showed me the paper you wrote on gestational diabetes.
It's amazing stuff.
You have a very lucid way of writing.
Yeah, the way you cross-reference the medical jargon Stop it.
You're delirious.
This is me.
Anyway, I'd love to chat to you about the whole Baltimore experience.
Sure.
- Bye.
Hello, Rocket.
People are having sex in my flat.
Billie and Mick.
Oh! Oh, Jimmy! So, who's that? Oh, Jimmy and his true love.
Oh, well, rampant sex is understandable in the face of death.
There's an urge to connect to some primal force, to clutch at other people.
My imagination is my ally.
I can cast whoever I like in my own fantasy.
Rightio.
Who will I pick? Hi, Nina.
Even though we've never met before, I feel an overwhelming urge to connect with you in a primal sexing way.
Oh! Look, thanks, absurdly handsome TV doctor Andrew Rochford.
You are gorgeous but not quite right for my purposes today.
I need this fantasy to feel a little more earthy and achievable, not a celebrity crush.
Hello, guy from cafe.
Listen, I was If you talk in the fantasy, you'll wreck it.
Why rule anything out, Nina? Oh, I'd love to make this play but, sadly, no - my loss.
Oh! No.
The offer's still there.
Too weird.
Oh.
Maybe.
But you're my father's doctor.
Feels a bit wrong.
Oh, hang on.
Stop it.
What are you doing? No.
How old are you? You're too young.
It definitely feels wrong.
Handwriting looks like Chris.
"Dear Nina.
"I hope you're having a wonderful time in the US.
"By the time you get back, I will have left.
"I didn't want to disappear without some explanation.
"An opportunity came up in Brisbane for Alice "and I decided to take a job there too.
"I thought this would be easier for everyone, including you.
"You know you'll always be very special to me, Nina.
"I wish you much happiness.
"Take care.
Chris.
" I don't have to go.
I can always get Clayton to do the gig.
No.
We should stick to what we planned.
You you go.
I'll be fine.
Ring me when you get to Ballarat so I know you haven't had an accident on the way.
Yeah, will do.
Actually, ring me halfway there.
Pull over and ring me.
Don't fiddle with your phone - I'm not gonna fiddle.
I don't fiddle.
- Yeah, but don't don't crash the ute and die I mean it.
- I know you do.
I'm not gonna die.
You're saying that in a glib way.
Do not die, Mick.
D Don't.
Rocket.
Come on.
Did the hospital ring? What is it? Are you worried about Dad? No Yes.
Oh, Neens.
You should've had sex with him way back, just exchanged some bodily fluids and flushed him out of your system.
Is that how you flush a man out of your system? Exchange bodily fluids? The real sex would never have been as good as the sex in your imagination.
Yes, OK, the man did have, you know, spectacular abdominal definition and and lips that were chiselled yet still pillowy.
But physical attributes tell you nothing about performance.
If anything, the hot-looking ones have lower-grade technique because they have never had to really try hard.
So chances are you have narrowly escaped a truly dud root.
Sorry, which is it my big mistake was not sleeping with him or sleeping with him would've been a bigger mistake? It's irrelevant.
The thing now is that you need to cut the cord, which you should be good at.
Burn the letter.
What? No! Neens, just you need to let go of the fantasy and start living in the the now.
I am letting go of the fantasy.
It's not fantasising.
I'm What are you No.
Shh.
Hello? Nina, Darcy's had another heart attack.
There's, um, a problem with the blood clots but nobody knows at this stage.
Oh.
Well, we're we're coming right now.
Dad's had another heart attack.
- Oh, shit.
Hang on.
Hang on.
Shoes.
Just just come.
Coming! Now.
- Coming! You go straight up.
I'll park the car.
Be OK, Dad.
Please be alive.
I don't want my dad to die.
I don't.
I don't want him to leave us now.
No.
Come on.
I have to be the calm centre for everyone.
It's no good if I'm Nina! We need your help.
Oh, no, I can't - Doctor crisis.
Clegg, Chandek and Strange all busy with emergencies and Dr Lee's been injured.
He was trampled by ponies at a medieval fair.
Oh, Kim, I'm sorry.
I can't No.
The point is, our obstetrics rookie is dealing with a breech.
On his own.
And? - You can save the day.
Come on, Neens.
- It'll only take a minute.
- - Got no choice.
Carla, this is Dr Proudman.
Carla.
Contraction coming? With any breech, what's the concern? Cord compression.
Mm-hm.
OK.
Good.
OK, see where my hands are? Mm-hm.
Gently release the legs.
OK.
OK.
We're gonna let baby down to the umbilicus.
And we're gonna hold him there.
OK.
OK, Carla, we need another big push from you.
That's it.
OK, now, slowly, slowly.
Elevate his body.
Here we are.
- Oh Congratulations, Carla.
Oh! Pretty amazing every time, isn't it? Yes, it is.
Every time.
And amazing to think that this new person has arrived in the world at the exact moment my dad might be Sorry, I just They've taken him to the cath lab.
- Oh! Right.
Well, that's good.
You should've seen his face, Nina.
It was like he knew.
I wish I hadn't sent Mick away.
He really loved Dad, you know? And maybe it was because he was so close to his father before he died.
I just I just really wish Mick was here.
Because, you know, people can die at any moment.
You can't let them out of your sight.
Darcy started to write a will.
On the back of a hospital menu? - Mmm.
"I, Darcy Chester Proudman, being of sound mind" That's as far as he got.
Oh, look Look, he wasn't of sound mind.
He ticked 'baked custard'.
Dad hates custard.
The the texture reminds him of internal organs.
- Oh - He's gone.
No, no Mum, not to heaven.
Upstairs to the cath lab.
- Oh Rocket! Mick! I turned the car around.
Clayton is doing the Ballarat gig.
But I - At a time like this, I should be with you But I'm - Let's revise the plan.
Mick - Look, life is short.
Fuck waiting around to save for a deposit.
Let's make a baby now.
Yes! I was thinking the same thing.
Fuck the plan.
Hello, everyone.
We cleared the blood clot, and while we were there, we managed to stent the other lesion.
No need for a bypass now.
All is well.
Darcy's fine.
Oh! Oh, Neens.
I'm sorry.
No, I get it now.
You couldn't let it rip before.
- Cherie! - Sam.
Sorry.
- He's OK.
Oh Excuse me.
Ah! Greetings, all my gorgeous loved ones.
Oooh.
And a young woman I don't know.
Oh, Dad, this is Tammy.
Greetings, Tammy.
Hello, Mr Proudman.
How are you feeling, Dad? Oh, I'm tremendous.
Still off his face on the Midazolam.
Whoa! I am off my face on life! Oh, my heart is just full of joy because, well, I've been there.
I've stood on the lip of the canyon of death.
It's so clear.
It's so clear.
You must say yes to life.
Forget about the reasons not to embrace life.
Just embrace it! Oh Geraldine.
Yes, Darcy.
I'm here.
Geraldine Hmm.
Will you rekindle our marriage with a renewal of vows? Uh Oh, Darcy, you bloody old fool.
Bugger it.
Why not? Yes.
Oh! Love of my life! Oooh.
A toast to Darcy! Darcy and Geraldine getting remarried.
That calls for a toast.
You reckon we should get married? Hmm.
Prove yourself as a breeder first.
Righto.
Our Jimmy and our Nina are back home.
Mick and Billie are making a baby! And Jimmy and me are in love! Yeah.
Whoo! So you've gotta live for the moment Before you drive them from your dreams Another freakin' love became The more you're letting dreams away Neens.
Oh, no, I'm not getting up.
I'll fall over.
Yeah, yeah, Neens.
No! Oooh, See# Told you.
Take your freakin' breath away All we really get's today Oooh.
I've missed you so much, Neens.
And I'm sorry if I've been a bit of a cow today.
Just It feels weird still.
I reckon you've changed while you've been away.
You seem I don't know.
Centred? Grounded? Hang on.
Have you still got that letter from Chris Havel burning a hole in your pocket? What if he was my soul mate and I've missed my chance? I don't hold with that whole one soul mate thing and you are kind and smart and gorgeous.
And if the right guy doesn't realise that, then then I will kill him.
Well, I thought Chris was the right guy.
Well, he didn't fight to be with you, so I should've killed him after you fucked him.
Oh! Like a lady spider.
Set fire to the letter.
- What would that achieve? Because it's symbolic.
It's like a ritual finale.
And we've got our own fireman on stand-by.
No.
It doesn't feel right to burn it.
I'll just I'll file it away in the defunct relationship archive.
Well, that's very wise.
It's not as much fun as burning.
I'm aiming for wise.
Oh oh Yeah, sure, me and Tammy have only known each other for two weeks but we both went through such intense moments in our lives, you know, so two weeks together is more the equivalent of two years for us.
Like dog years.
- Exactly.
Maybe I could just file it somewhere.
It's only a bit of paper.
Chris Havel's gone.
It's over.
But the earth hasn't swallowed me up.
Oooh, but the whole world is rolling.
It's quite nice.
Like being on a yacht.
Might as well give in to it.
Can't stay grounded by saying no to everything.
Like Dad said, you should say yes.
I don't want to give up delivering babies.
Yes to the babies.
Yes to being sucked back into the Proudman family vortex.
Yes to thoughts about new registrar.
Yeah, embrace the lustful thoughts.
What's she saying? She's delirious.
Yes.
Delirious.
I'm home.
Proudman.
They think my wife's alive.
I found Alice and, uh, I'm just so happy about it 'cause it's made me realise what I want.
No.
He can't be with me.
Cheers.
- Cheers.
I want to be with you.
But right now I I'm Oh - No, I Chris.
Mick? Billie, I slept with Mick.
I'm so sorry.
I can't look at you right now.
I've been making up all these scenarios in my mind you and I living in domestic bliss.
But it wouldn't be like that, would it? For Lucy's sake, do you think the three of us could live under one roof? Yeah.
A position has become available.
It's in Baltimore.
Well, here I am.
Number of months in Baltimore so far - 5.
Number of panic attacks during that time - 0.
Dr Stademan.
Dr.
Stademan, please.
Possible breech.
Thank you.
Babies I've delivered - 68.
Nina, we're ready.
- Thank you.
New friends - Flings with quite-nice men - 3.
OK, no major sparks, but at least both guys were unmarried, not my sister's ex and refrained from blowing anything up.
My sexual performance while in the US - 8.
The 8 is on a self-rating system.
I'm grounded, centred, living in the moment, confident I can hang on to this.
I'm feeling good.
Alright! Hi.
Oh, gosh.
They've just done more tests and we're waiting to hear.
Like, I just have a constant supply of tissues with me at all times.
And Ray's been teething.
I bought one of those sucky things.
So that seems to be sorted.
Um, and and I've left messages with Jimmy online and in selected South American locations.
I got the guy from the tapas bar to translate the message into Spanish.
So Jimmy's still overseas? - Yeah.
Where's your suitcase? - Oh, it's on its way to Manila.
Shit! Um, I'll I'll call the airline and I'll get them to track it down No, I'm not worrying.
It'll turn up.
It's It doesn't matter.
- You sound so calm.
I'm Oh, um, check out what I've been doing in the back seat.
It's just in the back seat.
This? - Yeah.
I thought someone should organise a family archive.
OK, so each section has key documents and captioned photos.
You know, there are still some gaps re identification.
Oh, see? Is that the farty cousin? Oh - 'Cause he looks a bit special.
I must ask Dad.
Oh, Billie, do you think this is the right time to be Neens, the man's old.
He's got a dodgy heart.
He's got a baby, no current will.
Yeah, but shouldn't you just wait until he recovers? Don't come back and feel you have to take charge.
I'm not taking charge, I'm just You like to think you're the only grown-up in the family.
Please, do we have to do this when our father's in the hospital? I've been holding the fort while you and Jimmy have been away! I've been running Darcy Proudman Real Estate.
Everything hasn't just fallen apart while you've been gone Block it out.
Block it out.
Remember how I felt in Baltimore.
I can hang on to that feeling.
Oh - You go straight up and see Dad.
I'll park the car.
- OK.
Hi.
Oh My darling girl.
Oh I'm sorry you got dragged back here from your Oh, Dad Dad, it's fine.
It's so good to see you.
Thought I might never lay eyes on you again.
I took Ray to the park Oh, it's steep.
Look out.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I used to play this game with you kids, you know, pretending you had superhero strength and then one push from your little hands and You'd fall over.
Whoa! Whoa Oh! Oh! So I was doing that with Ray.
And then the pain hit me.
It was like a steel band crushing my chest.
And the weakness.
I couldn't get up.
I thought, "I'm gonna conk out right here in this park.
" Oh, Dad.
If I die, I'm gonna leave Ray without a father.
Cardiology techniques are so sophisticated, Dad and I'm sure you're getting the optimum care When a man's on his deathbed - You're not on your deathbed.
I need you to do me two favours.
First, stop Billie hassling me about photos and papers.
She's making me feel like I'm already dead.
Oh, OK.
Well, I'll try.
Hmm.
And most important favour - go to Geraldine's house and fish her wedding ring out of the S-bend.
Sorry? Oh.
She tossed it in there when she'd just found out that Kerry Vokelzang and I had been Oh, right.
Yep.
Neen, I want to ask your mother to renew our wedding vows.
Dad.
Um, you need to identify some new shots.
Oh, just Um, is this another bastard offspring that we should know about? Neens, you find the cardiologist.
I think you should be our medical translator.
Let's have a look at this.
Hey.
Hey.
Mwah! How are you? - Good.
Good to see you.
Where's Mr Ray? Day care.
I'm starting back at work.
- Wow.
But, um I don't know now, you know, with all this.
Well, um, look, he's come through the first 24 hours.
You know that's a good sign.
You look ropy.
Oh.
Jet lag? Stressed on whooshing back here so suddenly? Actually, I'm feeling Rescue remedy.
- OK.
They really help.
That's the cardiologist.
Great.
Dr Forbes.
Hi, I'm Nina.
Um, I'm Darcy Darcy Proudman's daughter.
Yes.
Dr Proudman.
Excuse me.
Good to meet you.
- You too.
I've been taking care of your father.
You're aware we - Put in a stent? Mmm.
- Mmm.
But there's also a problem with the left descending anterior artery.
OK.
- If we have a look here.
Um, there's significant thinning in this other vessel here.
Mm-hm Hey, what's with Nina's piss-elegant ensemble? She probably just picked something comfy for the plane.
Oh - It was nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
- Well? Well, it looks like he'll he might need another procedure.
What, a bypass? Dr Forbes will make that decision this afternoon.
Wow.
Well, you're so calm about that guy cutting our father's chest open.
Well, coronary bypass surgery is really a standard thing these days.
What, is that your doctor voice? No.
You asked me to be the medical liaison person.
Yeah, but it doesn't mean you have to be all Mrs.
Detached Professional about it.
I mean, this is our dad that we're talking about.
Now, I don't understand what's going on.
Where are you? Hello? Nina? Neens This spacey thing you're doing what, is this some kind of tragic American self-actualisation ritual? No.
I'm using my imagination as my ally.
I need techniques to survive re-entry into this family.
What, we're an ordeal for you? Um, no, it's not like that.
It's great to see you.
I just I need a shower.
I'll go home.
Then we can talk properly.
At the flat, don't worry about the boxes or the musical instruments.
Sorry? Mick and me have been living there the past few weeks.
What? - It's part of the plan.
To do things the right way and not arse-about.
So I can't get pregnant until we've saved enough money for a deposit on our own place so Mick's been doing extra gigs and landscaping jobs and also we've sublet his place to some French-Canadian acrobats for extra cash.
So you've moved into my place - Neens, you came back early.
Couldn't you have gone to Mum's? Mum? Don't get me started about Mum.
You know what our mother's been doing? Oh, don't tell me now.
Neens, our mother has been toying with our father's affections.
I've been monitoring it.
Oooh.
Should I stop in on the obstetrics floor? It'd be perfectly natural to pop in and say hello to my former colleagues.
Rude not to.
And when I do run into Chris Havel, I will be poised and centred.
We went our separate ways in an atmosphere of mutual dignity.
Pretty much.
When I do see him, I'll be - Nina? Oh, Zara! Hi! - Hi.
How are you? Good.
It's great to see you.
- You too.
I know what you're thinking.
Do you? - Yeah.
That things have changed around here.
Well, well, well.
What a delight to see the doctor who delivered my exquisite baby daughter.
Hello, Martin.
Nina.
So, Kim is back at work but she's always tired because Stella's a fussy baby.
Sleeping Kim isn't much different in terms of work rate to awake Kim.
I guess not.
Hey, Kim, wake up! Open up the milk bar.
Here she comes, here she comes Oh, Nina, you're back! - Hi! Hello, Stella.
Hi, beautiful girl.
Now, remember we said no nipples in shot.
Yes.
Well, point well taken.
I'll adjust my camera angle.
Dr.
Clegg considered hormone injections so he could share in the breastfeeding.
Anatomically, Zara, it is not beyond the realms of possibility.
Even so, we decided against it.
Yes, two against one.
But I am permitted to share some parental responsibilities.
So how was Baltimore? Did you have an amazing time? - Are you back for good now? Oh, I'm not sure.
I'm I'm here now because my dad's not well.
Oh.
But, yes, I've been having an amazing time.
I've actually been invited to stay on and participate in some fascinating research projects.
Aha! You wouldn't come back to work here? You'd give up delivering babies? Oh, I'm still really passionate about my job.
But I might - What are you saying? What Dr Proudman is saying is that she has many wonderful work opportunities both here and in the United States.
Yes.
That's right.
There's some great options.
I just I haven't decided yet.
It's a shame you missed Chris Havel before he left.
Left for the day? Where did he go? Moved up to Brisbane last Tuesday.
His wife got a job up there.
Chris is back at the paeds department.
It seemed the best arrangement for them.
Mmm.
Yeah.
It's a wonderful arrangement.
I've just I've actually got to make a phone call.
I'll come back.
He's gone.
Oh, I'm on this stupid balcony.
Oh, come on.
It'll be easier if he's gone.
It'll be It it will be.
We figured that Chris had stayed in contact with you.
No.
Not a word in five months.
But you didn't know that he was leaving, did you? Oh, I knew I knew I knew No.
Are you OK? Yeah, I'm fine.
You ARE fine.
You're fine.
- Hello.
- Nina, it's me.
Jim! Where are you? Are you still stuck in Colombia? I am stuck, but not in Colombia.
How's Dad? Is he What's happening? Oh, Dad's in the hospital.
He's, um he's having tests and So he's alive? Oh, thank God.
Oh, that's so great.
Can you come downstairs and rescue me? Huh? Oh, you monkey! Nina! Nina! Jimmy - Come on! Hi.
- Are you the sister? Uh, yes.
He won't open the doors and give us our bags unless Yeah, 80 bucks.
- In cash.
Yeah, I don't want pesos or dinar or Vietnamese 'ding'.
I said 'DONG'! - It's OK.
Shh.
Australian dollars, alright? - Yeah, great.
OK.
Thanks.
Hi! Oh It's really OK? I've been travelling nonstop to get back.
I couldn't even bring my phone charger.
I was up in the volcano It's OK.
- Is he OK? Yeah, yeah, he's doing well.
Just go upstairs.
I'll take care of the bags.
OK.
I should see my father by myself first, OK? Nina will look after you.
OK.
Buenos dias.
Oh! No, I'm from Sydney.
Oh! Sorry.
Oh, no, no.
That's alright.
You weren't to know.
I'm Tammy.
- Hi.
Nina.
"Dear Dad.
"As I write this, there's a strong chance you're already dead.
"Let me make this pledge "I will always stay in Ray's life" Thank you, Jimmy.
But but really, I'm feeling tremendous now.
Don't upset yourself "l think about all the ways" When Jimmy and me met, it was like, "This is the person I was put on Earth to be with.
" You know how you just know? I do know you're so young you couldn't possibly.
Oh! Jimmy said that you do that - go into your head.
Now you're doing it right in front of me.
Oh Cool.
"We did so much together.
So many memories to share.
"My youth was so enriched by our times together.
" Dad wants to ask you something.
Yeah.
Please, get Jimmy out of here.
He's reading me the eulogy from my own funeral.
And don't forget your mother's wedding ring.
I love you both so much.
Dad, I can't wait for you to meet Tammy.
Well, Dad needs to rest right now, Jim.
OK, you meet Tammy later.
Rest up now, Dad.
Bye.
So, have you guys known each other long? I first saw her two weeks ago crying under a palm tree in Cabo San Juan.
Um, I'd just broken up with the guy I was travelling with.
A week later, we were canoeing through the Amazon when I got When Jimmy got the message about his dad.
Tammy organised a boat.
Yeah, except a mudslide meant my ingenious travel plan got stuffed.
I liked the donkey! It was better than the tractor.
Oh, my God.
And then that bus.
We had to pay a taxi 100 US bucks to take us to Lima.
Mmm.
So Jimmy could get his flight home.
Thank you.
You're so special.
Mmm Mmm Oh, Billie, I know, but I'm tired.
I just don't feel like captioning photos at the moment.
I'm tired.
I need to go home and eat something.
And I need a shower.
I really stink.
Nina! Hi.
Sorry.
No, it's OK.
I was finished.
Hi.
- You're back! Welcome back.
Are you good? - Good? I'm really good.
What have you been doing? It's good to see you.
You walking? - Yeah, I am.
Yeah.
I'm really sorry about Darce.
I'm really fond of your father.
Yeah, I know you are.
Billie missed you a lot.
Did she? Doesn't seem like it.
Oh, yeah.
She did.
She did.
But, I mean, it's like when Rocket punishes me for going away.
Like, he won't look at me, he won't lick my hand.
Even growls a bit.
So, did you get those photos done? Not yet.
Your dad wanted me to collect some songs he'd written.
I'm dropping them over to him at the hospital after this.
I need those photos, Mick, so I can get Dad to identify - Thanks.
Shouldn't you be getting off to Ballarat? There's plenty of time.
That gig pays serious money, Mick.
You cannot get wishy-washy with the plan.
The Plan has capital letters.
I can hear the capitals.
OK, well, my father is about to have his ribs wrenched apart.
You think now is the time to make lame, sarcastic Oh, he's not being sarcastic, Billie.
He's just trying to - Are you defending him now? You, of all people? Oh, that's another one.
Come on.
Get it out.
Yes.
We didn't want his sex with you to be a constantly oozing sore in the relationship.
Yeah, it's to develop a containment method.
Mick issued me with 10 vouchers.
One to be used every time Billie played the sex-with-Nina card against me in an argument - No.
Billie printed more.
After this batch, no more playing the sex-with-Nina card.
No Oh, God! Oh! Yes! Oh! Oh! Nina! - Oh, Mum! Oh, darling! Oh, you're back! Oh, it's so good to see you! How are you? - I'm good.
You look beautiful, Mum.
- Oh! What are you doing in the S-bend? Oh Never got around to writing the other verses to that one.
Oh, you'll come back to it.
I reckon a couple of these would make bloody good songs.
They could.
If I kick the bucket would you finish them off for me? I will.
Mick, I do realise Billie Proudman is hard work.
But it'd be a big relief to know that you'll stick with her.
I'm going to.
He's after the wedding ring? He's had a scare, Mum.
He's afraid that he - Might die.
Which is my fault.
- What? No, it's not.
Not unless you've figured out a way to clog up someone's artery.
No, he had bad chest pain after our last fairly vigorous encounter and I laughed it off as heartburn.
This morning, when I visited him in the hospital Mum, it's not your fault.
Nina, you have got to talk your father out of making this romantic declaration.
Oh please don't ask me to do that.
Your eyes are glassy.
Oh.
Well, it's just jet lag.
Have you seen Chris Havel yet? - He's moved to Brisbane.
Oh! Well, I chose to go to Baltimore, so it's really Yes, but it's still very distressing for you, my beautiful.
No actually.
No.
I'm feeling quite - You look ragged.
Thanks.
Why don't you go and lie down here for a few hours? Oh, it's alright.
I've got to um Well, I just have to do something.
But I'll call I'll call back.
Alright.
From deep within the bowels of Mordor, I bring you the ring, Father.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Do you think maybe you should hold off proposing at the moment? Did your mother say something? I just think right now you're you're all churned up, Dad.
Perhaps I could be the guardian of the ring for now.
Oh Thanks.
- You're welcome.
Are you Nina Proudman? Yes.
Uh, Fraser King, first-year obstetrics registrar.
Oh, hi.
- It's, uh, first week.
I remember my first week.
How are you holding up? Yeah You get very good press around the department.
Oh.
Oh Not again.
Klutz.
It's my mother's wedding ring.
- Oh.
My parents are estranged.
Well, not so estranged since they started having sex with each other again.
My father wanted me to fish it out of the S-bend so he could propose to her.
Did you need to explain that to a stranger? A very cute stranger? Hey, Dr Clegg showed me the paper you wrote on gestational diabetes.
It's amazing stuff.
You have a very lucid way of writing.
Yeah, the way you cross-reference the medical jargon Stop it.
You're delirious.
This is me.
Anyway, I'd love to chat to you about the whole Baltimore experience.
Sure.
- Bye.
Hello, Rocket.
People are having sex in my flat.
Billie and Mick.
Oh! Oh, Jimmy! So, who's that? Oh, Jimmy and his true love.
Oh, well, rampant sex is understandable in the face of death.
There's an urge to connect to some primal force, to clutch at other people.
My imagination is my ally.
I can cast whoever I like in my own fantasy.
Rightio.
Who will I pick? Hi, Nina.
Even though we've never met before, I feel an overwhelming urge to connect with you in a primal sexing way.
Oh! Look, thanks, absurdly handsome TV doctor Andrew Rochford.
You are gorgeous but not quite right for my purposes today.
I need this fantasy to feel a little more earthy and achievable, not a celebrity crush.
Hello, guy from cafe.
Listen, I was If you talk in the fantasy, you'll wreck it.
Why rule anything out, Nina? Oh, I'd love to make this play but, sadly, no - my loss.
Oh! No.
The offer's still there.
Too weird.
Oh.
Maybe.
But you're my father's doctor.
Feels a bit wrong.
Oh, hang on.
Stop it.
What are you doing? No.
How old are you? You're too young.
It definitely feels wrong.
Handwriting looks like Chris.
"Dear Nina.
"I hope you're having a wonderful time in the US.
"By the time you get back, I will have left.
"I didn't want to disappear without some explanation.
"An opportunity came up in Brisbane for Alice "and I decided to take a job there too.
"I thought this would be easier for everyone, including you.
"You know you'll always be very special to me, Nina.
"I wish you much happiness.
"Take care.
Chris.
" I don't have to go.
I can always get Clayton to do the gig.
No.
We should stick to what we planned.
You you go.
I'll be fine.
Ring me when you get to Ballarat so I know you haven't had an accident on the way.
Yeah, will do.
Actually, ring me halfway there.
Pull over and ring me.
Don't fiddle with your phone - I'm not gonna fiddle.
I don't fiddle.
- Yeah, but don't don't crash the ute and die I mean it.
- I know you do.
I'm not gonna die.
You're saying that in a glib way.
Do not die, Mick.
D Don't.
Rocket.
Come on.
Did the hospital ring? What is it? Are you worried about Dad? No Yes.
Oh, Neens.
You should've had sex with him way back, just exchanged some bodily fluids and flushed him out of your system.
Is that how you flush a man out of your system? Exchange bodily fluids? The real sex would never have been as good as the sex in your imagination.
Yes, OK, the man did have, you know, spectacular abdominal definition and and lips that were chiselled yet still pillowy.
But physical attributes tell you nothing about performance.
If anything, the hot-looking ones have lower-grade technique because they have never had to really try hard.
So chances are you have narrowly escaped a truly dud root.
Sorry, which is it my big mistake was not sleeping with him or sleeping with him would've been a bigger mistake? It's irrelevant.
The thing now is that you need to cut the cord, which you should be good at.
Burn the letter.
What? No! Neens, just you need to let go of the fantasy and start living in the the now.
I am letting go of the fantasy.
It's not fantasising.
I'm What are you No.
Shh.
Hello? Nina, Darcy's had another heart attack.
There's, um, a problem with the blood clots but nobody knows at this stage.
Oh.
Well, we're we're coming right now.
Dad's had another heart attack.
- Oh, shit.
Hang on.
Hang on.
Shoes.
Just just come.
Coming! Now.
- Coming! You go straight up.
I'll park the car.
Be OK, Dad.
Please be alive.
I don't want my dad to die.
I don't.
I don't want him to leave us now.
No.
Come on.
I have to be the calm centre for everyone.
It's no good if I'm Nina! We need your help.
Oh, no, I can't - Doctor crisis.
Clegg, Chandek and Strange all busy with emergencies and Dr Lee's been injured.
He was trampled by ponies at a medieval fair.
Oh, Kim, I'm sorry.
I can't No.
The point is, our obstetrics rookie is dealing with a breech.
On his own.
And? - You can save the day.
Come on, Neens.
- It'll only take a minute.
- - Got no choice.
Carla, this is Dr Proudman.
Carla.
Contraction coming? With any breech, what's the concern? Cord compression.
Mm-hm.
OK.
Good.
OK, see where my hands are? Mm-hm.
Gently release the legs.
OK.
OK.
We're gonna let baby down to the umbilicus.
And we're gonna hold him there.
OK.
OK, Carla, we need another big push from you.
That's it.
OK, now, slowly, slowly.
Elevate his body.
Here we are.
- Oh Congratulations, Carla.
Oh! Pretty amazing every time, isn't it? Yes, it is.
Every time.
And amazing to think that this new person has arrived in the world at the exact moment my dad might be Sorry, I just They've taken him to the cath lab.
- Oh! Right.
Well, that's good.
You should've seen his face, Nina.
It was like he knew.
I wish I hadn't sent Mick away.
He really loved Dad, you know? And maybe it was because he was so close to his father before he died.
I just I just really wish Mick was here.
Because, you know, people can die at any moment.
You can't let them out of your sight.
Darcy started to write a will.
On the back of a hospital menu? - Mmm.
"I, Darcy Chester Proudman, being of sound mind" That's as far as he got.
Oh, look Look, he wasn't of sound mind.
He ticked 'baked custard'.
Dad hates custard.
The the texture reminds him of internal organs.
- Oh - He's gone.
No, no Mum, not to heaven.
Upstairs to the cath lab.
- Oh Rocket! Mick! I turned the car around.
Clayton is doing the Ballarat gig.
But I - At a time like this, I should be with you But I'm - Let's revise the plan.
Mick - Look, life is short.
Fuck waiting around to save for a deposit.
Let's make a baby now.
Yes! I was thinking the same thing.
Fuck the plan.
Hello, everyone.
We cleared the blood clot, and while we were there, we managed to stent the other lesion.
No need for a bypass now.
All is well.
Darcy's fine.
Oh! Oh, Neens.
I'm sorry.
No, I get it now.
You couldn't let it rip before.
- Cherie! - Sam.
Sorry.
- He's OK.
Oh Excuse me.
Ah! Greetings, all my gorgeous loved ones.
Oooh.
And a young woman I don't know.
Oh, Dad, this is Tammy.
Greetings, Tammy.
Hello, Mr Proudman.
How are you feeling, Dad? Oh, I'm tremendous.
Still off his face on the Midazolam.
Whoa! I am off my face on life! Oh, my heart is just full of joy because, well, I've been there.
I've stood on the lip of the canyon of death.
It's so clear.
It's so clear.
You must say yes to life.
Forget about the reasons not to embrace life.
Just embrace it! Oh Geraldine.
Yes, Darcy.
I'm here.
Geraldine Hmm.
Will you rekindle our marriage with a renewal of vows? Uh Oh, Darcy, you bloody old fool.
Bugger it.
Why not? Yes.
Oh! Love of my life! Oooh.
A toast to Darcy! Darcy and Geraldine getting remarried.
That calls for a toast.
You reckon we should get married? Hmm.
Prove yourself as a breeder first.
Righto.
Our Jimmy and our Nina are back home.
Mick and Billie are making a baby! And Jimmy and me are in love! Yeah.
Whoo! So you've gotta live for the moment Before you drive them from your dreams Another freakin' love became The more you're letting dreams away Neens.
Oh, no, I'm not getting up.
I'll fall over.
Yeah, yeah, Neens.
No! Oooh, See# Told you.
Take your freakin' breath away All we really get's today Oooh.
I've missed you so much, Neens.
And I'm sorry if I've been a bit of a cow today.
Just It feels weird still.
I reckon you've changed while you've been away.
You seem I don't know.
Centred? Grounded? Hang on.
Have you still got that letter from Chris Havel burning a hole in your pocket? What if he was my soul mate and I've missed my chance? I don't hold with that whole one soul mate thing and you are kind and smart and gorgeous.
And if the right guy doesn't realise that, then then I will kill him.
Well, I thought Chris was the right guy.
Well, he didn't fight to be with you, so I should've killed him after you fucked him.
Oh! Like a lady spider.
Set fire to the letter.
- What would that achieve? Because it's symbolic.
It's like a ritual finale.
And we've got our own fireman on stand-by.
No.
It doesn't feel right to burn it.
I'll just I'll file it away in the defunct relationship archive.
Well, that's very wise.
It's not as much fun as burning.
I'm aiming for wise.
Oh oh Yeah, sure, me and Tammy have only known each other for two weeks but we both went through such intense moments in our lives, you know, so two weeks together is more the equivalent of two years for us.
Like dog years.
- Exactly.
Maybe I could just file it somewhere.
It's only a bit of paper.
Chris Havel's gone.
It's over.
But the earth hasn't swallowed me up.
Oooh, but the whole world is rolling.
It's quite nice.
Like being on a yacht.
Might as well give in to it.
Can't stay grounded by saying no to everything.
Like Dad said, you should say yes.
I don't want to give up delivering babies.
