Doctor Doctor (2016) s03e07 Episode Script
Don't Wanna Let You Go / Wet Weekends
1 I love getting up at the crack of dawn and digging around in slop.
I have to go to the hospital to perform seven stents, three angioplasties.
Also, I've got to earn money to pour into this bottomless pit! Right, well, here's this month's payment.
Kept the hounds at bay for the moment.
They kinda ran this place into the ground.
[GUNSHOT.]
I'm putting the farm on the market.
- I'm leaving Whyhope.
- This is a joke.
You're all a joke.
Are you saying you would like to cancel the procedure? Get your thing out of me now.
A complaint's been lodged against you with APRA.
Any ideas why? You can either be a dad, or be with me.
If I were you, I know which one I would choose.
They'll be better off without me.
Tell Charlie I'm sorry.
I think you might have forgotten something, Charlie.
Ivy, get out here right now! What are we going to do with a teenager? She's staying here, there's not really another option.
[GENTLE GUITAR MUSIC.]
[SIRENS BLARE.]
[MATT SIGHS.]
Darren.
Got a call this morning about a trespasser in a guy's backyard.
I caught Ivy here with a stolen marijuana plant trying to hitchhike down the highway.
None of this will hold up in court.
You've no evidence I was even there.
The guy gave a description, teenage girl, black jeans, brown hair, about 160cm.
- You are so grounded.
- For what? I just aided police in the location and capture of a dangerous drug dealer.
Give me your phone.
Wouldn't have to put up with this in Bali.
We're really sorry about this.
Yeah, well, there's something else.
Children's services were notified.
I wanted to give you the heads-up that someone might be coming by later today to enquire about her living situation.
What? Why? Well, she's a minor without a permanent guardian.
- She has us.
- You're not related.
- Well, not exactly.
- And she's living in your house.
Technically she's living on our lawn.
Either way, she's here, and they may decide that she should be in foster care.
Unless I got you these.
You guys want to be her foster parents? We'll get back to you.
I'm going up the country, babe, don't you wanna go? I'm going up the country, babe, don't you wanna go? I'm going someplace where I've never been before I'll leave this city, I've got to get away I'll leave this city, I've got to get away All this fussing and fighting, man, you know I sure can't stay.
So, Sam, what do you think? Yeah, well, you don't see a place like this every day.
1200 acres, 1856 farmhouse with north-facing windows.
If I was in the market, I would buy it myself.
Right, so how much do you think we get for it? Could be 11, 12 million? Really? [EXHALES.]
That'd be enough to pay off the mortgage and have some left over.
Or I can open up the property for offers, ring around, see if we can get any interest? Do it.
All right.
Good man.
When are you leaving? Uh How's Wednesday? Tuesday's sooner.
OK, Tuesday it is.
Why do you have a letter from APRA? Uh we're pen pals? Hugh, it says you're being investigated for misconduct.
Their sending someone here tomorrow.
Why wasn't I notified? [SIGHS.]
Because I don't work for you anymore.
Anyway, it's just a formality.
One teeny tiny complaint.
Like threatening to remove a woman's stent? High, you've already got strikes on your record, I'm pretty sure the next one's the death penalty.
Or worse.
Ah.
Worse than the death penalty? They could make you stay in Whyhope another year.
Just get it sorted, Hugh.
You can't stay here.
I know, I know, OK.
I'll handle it.
OK, team, how's the APRA prep going? I've written you 12 positive Google reviews.
They're under different names, right? Great.
Betty, can we schedule Ms.
Holloway in for a check-up? I know she adores me.
Already done, in fact, I've scheduled all your favourite patients for tomorrow.
- Excellent.
- However, that did mean I had to schedule your difficult patients for today.
Mr.
Anderson is waiting.
Ah.
Hugh Knight, what are the chances? [MOUTHS.]
Well how have you been? Good, good, great.
- Great.
- I've been great.
Anyway, Betty will look after you.
You you don't remember me, do you? Uh No, sorry.
Pari Thompson.
Well, it's not important.
Shall we start with the investigation? - Sorry, what? - Oh, I work for APRA now.
I am the doctor assigned to your case.
But that isn't until tomorrow? Oh, no.
We always come early.
Otherwise you might prepare or something! So, shall we begin? Yes, let's begin.
Down the hall to the left.
Be with you in a second.
Did that go as badly as I think it did? Worse.
Don't worry, I'll do some detective work.
So, big decision.
Is it? Seems easy to me.
We have to foster her.
Really? You don't think we should do it? Huh.
She's not exactly Oliver Twist.
- She has a mother.
- Yeah, somewhere in Bali right now, with braids and a Mai Tai.
Then we should be trying to find her.
Yeah, who knows how long that'll take? And child services are showing up today.
If we don't agree to keep her, she'll end up in foster care.
OK.
Great.
Well, we'll tell her tonight.
And you're gonna be around in case child services show up? Sure.
It's the right decision.
Ivy needs people who are there for her.
Can you watch her today? I can't, I've got farming work to do.
I've got a meeting at school.
- Meryl.
- Meryl can do it, yeah.
[MUSIC PLAYS THROUGH HEADPHONES.]
[SHOUTS.]
What did you do? What's it to you? Nothing.
I saw a police car earlier.
Let me guess, shoplifting, breaking and entering? My team of lawyers advised me not to talk about it.
[WHISPERS.]
Did you kill someone? [BABY CRIES.]
Ah.
Stay right there.
I have eyes everywhere.
Oh, it's a bit of an art project? It's a picket sign.
They're building a motorway through the cemetery so all the graves have to be dug up and moved.
That's a bit of a morbid thought.
Yeah.
I'm picketing against it.
No one's going to move my mother away from me.
What do you think? "Please no motorway thank you.
" Polite.
I've made a few picket signs in my time.
Led a few rallies.
I could help if you like? I think I got it covered.
Now, there will be three phases to the investigation, at the end of which, I will determine whether your conduct poses a legitimate risk to patient safety.
Look, I am sorry that I don't remember you.
If we could just clear it up Don't worry about it, Dr.
Knight.
Now, the first phase is shadowing.
I'll be monitoring your next consult.
- Just, uh, pretend I'm not here.
- Right.
Mr.
Anderson, how are you? Uh This is, um, My name's.
Thompson.
I'll be observing this consult.
Why? Standard practice, just pretend I'm not here.
So Mr.
Anderson, you do look like you are a candidate for a stent.
We just have to take a few blood tests first so I'll get a nurse.
Or I could do it? Yes.
Great.
If you wouldn't mind rolling up your sleeve for me.
And we're going to need one of these.
And those.
Right.
There you go, thank you.
Uh, it's too tight.
It's supposed to be tight.
There we go.
OK.
Here we go.
And What are you trying to Just [GRUNTS.]
One more Hold still for me.
You do have tough veins, don't you? - What did you call me? - Just I want someone else.
Got it! Yes, there we go.
A-ha! [GROANS.]
Hey, Matt.
Are you busy? Uh Not at all, free as a bird.
OK, great.
'Cause I need you to take care of Jimmy.
- Oh I really can't.
- [CHUCKLES.]
It's just for a little bit.
I'll be back soon.
Hey, hey, OK.
- Just mind his head, yeah? - Yeah.
There we go.
Whoa.
All right.
You are not exactly what I had in mind when I said I needed a farmhand.
Have you got any manual labour experience, any qualifications? You are pretty cute.
I'll give you that.
You know, we're not gonna have a baby.
Charlie doesn't wanna have kids.
I think Maybe she's scared about what happened.
[GENTLE GUITAR MUSIC.]
- Is that Darren's dating profile? - No.
You like him, don't you? It's strictly business.
I run the website.
No, it isn't.
You have feelings for him.
I can feel them from here! We have work to do, Ken.
Did he ask you out? - Yes, all right? Happy? - I knew it.
When's the date? Where are you going? I don't know, Ken.
What do you mean you don't know? I didn't respond to his text.
What? Why? 'Cause I don't want to go! First dates are an awful invention.
It's one hour of awkward small talk and then 6 days of postdate analysis.
No, thank you.
I am quite happy with things the way they are.
You know, it's quite impolite to be on your phone while conversing.
Sorry.
I just have to send this text.
"Hey, Darren.
Betty's phone is broken.
"She would love to come to lunch, 1 PM today.
" Sent.
Oh, Ken! - You will thank me for this.
- [SIGHS.]
Ridiculous, ain't it? Who ever heard of moving a cemetery? I've got three generations of relatives in there.
I'm building a crypt, right, for my eight sons.
- You have eight sons? - Yeah! [CHUCKLES.]
Now one of them wants to bury his wife in there too.
I'm like, "All right, I'll build a bigger crypt.
" It's another 4000.
But now he's worried that she might die before him and needs a plot for his hypothetical second wife.
What am I, made of money? Oh.
Here's the petition to sign.
20,000 it's going to cost me.
Next it'll be his ugly Siamese cat.
$20,000? To top it off, they want to move the bloody thing.
Do they have a site for it yet? Ah, no.
No one wants to take it.
Probably be dead by the time they sort it out.
Hey! You forgot to sign it.
Shit, child services.
Matt, where are you? Sorry, not sure where Matt is.
And do you know where Ivy's mother this? She's in Bali, she's a little hard to get hold of.
But we're happy to keep Ivy until we can find her.
So you're planning on becoming her legal guardians then? Yeah, she's in good hands.
I've got the forms inside.
Yes, and I hear she was arrested this morning? Yeah.
Do you want to come on through? What are you reading? Wuthering Heights.
- It's a classic.
- Yeah, I know.
I've read it.
It's kind of boring.
It's literature.
[SIGHS.]
I don't know what to do when Ajax is looking after Jimmy.
Does that make me boring? Yeah.
I hate it out here.
- It's so dull.
- No, it's not! It's beautiful.
It doesn't matter.
I expect Matt and Charlie will give up on me fairly soon.
Especially once they've seen their lawn.
And as soon as they've had enough, I'm going to Bali.
To Bali? Where my mother is.
Come on, let's get out of here.
[SCOFFS.]
How? We'll take those.
No.
I'm reading.
Come on.
Heathcliff dies, let's go.
Now, for the second phase of the investigation, we're going to be doing some role-plays.
[SCOFFS.]
You can't be serious.
Are you ready for me now? Yes, come, please sit down.
Here you go.
Now, this is Marjorie.
She's a 45-year-old farmer - with a history of smoking.
- Hi.
OK, fine.
[SIGHS.]
Marjorie, what seems to be the problem? I have atopic dermatitis, gross, what do I do, Doc? You put some cortisone on it.
- Am I done? - Not yet.
This is Leonard, he's a 70-year-old retired veteran.
[RASPILY.]
I need to see a doctor.
- What's wrong with you? - What do you mean what's wrong with me? I've got one leg.
And what can I do for you? [AMERICAN ACCENT.]
Well, I was taking my three children to school the other day Just tell me what's wrong with you.
Oh.
Well, it appears I have a lump in my Oh, I'm a man, sorry, can we start again? [CLEARS THROAT.]
[LOW VOICE.]
I was taking my three children to school the other day How's the interrogation coming? Terribly.
Thanks for asking.
She's putting me through these ridiculous exercises.
You know, I should lodge a complaint of my own.
You have to play her game.
This will only be harder if you put up a fight.
I'm putting Arcadia up for sale.
You're selling the farm? I don't have a choice.
I can't keep it afloat.
How are the family? They don't know yet.
[SIGHS.]
Do you follow me everywhere? Just pretend I'm not here.
What it this all about? I have an idea how we can save the farm.
You want to turn Arcadia into a cemetery? They haven't found a site yet.
We could use this paddock.
Ajax, I think it's very noble that you want to help all these homeless dead people but can't we use this paddock for something more profitable like growing potatoes? I mean, everybody needs potatoes.
No, it's 5000 per plot, + 1400 transportation, and $600 in annual maintenance fees, - so altogether, that gives us - 7000 for a hole.
What do you think? We could use the brewery for funerals.
- That would make more cash.
- So you're gonna help me? A hole to get us out of a hole.
I like the poetry in that.
Hey.
- What are you doing? - Just - Hiding from my shadow.
- Oh.
Have you got anything for me? You bet I do.
OK.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Pari Thompson, 32, recently married, grew up in Darwin.
Right, so maybe Her favourite colour's apricot.
She has three outstanding parking tickets, a gorgeous two bedroom apartment, - her tax file number's 042 - OK, OK.
What about me? How does she know me? Oh.
Well, I have compiled a list of possibilities.
One, you slept with her.
Two, you slept with her sister.
Three, you slept with her mother.
Should I keep going? I'm screwed.
There's a lot to organise.
We'd better get a move on.
I've got a feeling that Hugh's looking for an exit strategy.
Ivy! We need his signature to make a bid for that cemetery.
- Do you think he'll go for it? - Uh Best not to say anything until things are in full swing.
And don't worry about that signature.
I'll handle it.
Ivy! [DOOR OPENS.]
- Hi.
- Hi.
[LAUGHS.]
[BOTH LAUGH NERVOUSLY.]
Uh, these are for you.
They're chrysanthemums.
They symbolise honesty, which seemed appropriate because Well, it's time I'm honest and I told you how I feel about you.
Well, in the interest of honesty, these are irises.
Oh.
Well, what do they symbolise? Friendship.
[CHUCKLES.]
Damn.
Well, Betty, what it comes down to is that I think you're great.
- And I would really like - Hello! - Uh hi, Mia.
- Hey.
Do you think the pad Thai here is gluten-free? Suddenly I'm not so hungry.
If you're not hungry, we can share something.
Yeah.
I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
What is up with him? No idea.
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh.
What are you doing here? I'm just on my way out.
Well, Glenn seems to have lost your Superfund consolidation application form, and he needs you to sign another, so it's just on the back page.
Actually, there was something I wanted to talk to you about.
About the debt.
I really think we are starting to run out of options.
So no more, thinking caps are on.
Mum, what I'm saying I know exactly what you're saying but we're not there yet.
There are other options.
Forms.
See you later.
[GENTLE GUITAR MUSIC.]
[PHONE RINGS.]
[PHONE BEEPS.]
Hey.
You want a drink? No, I'm working.
Hey, listen, I want to talk to you about something Yeah, actually, there's something I want to talk about with you too.
Look as you know, things are not looking great for the farm.
Not moving fast enough to keep up with repayments, so What it comes down to is this.
I'm gonna sell the farm.
There, I said it.
You know what? I feel better.
I might have that drink.
You what? Sell the farm? That's your plan? I'm just throwing money away trying to keep it afloat.
We can sell and we'll start again.
You can't sell the fucking farm! Do you want to keep it down? Yeah? How many of those have you had? Then what, you go back to your million-dollar lifestyle in Sydney - and leave us all homeless? - That's not how it would work.
- Can you calm down? - I'm perfectly calm! All right.
All right.
- You two need to leave.
- I haven't finished my beer yet.
- I reckon you've had enough.
- Both of you, out.
Now.
- Go on.
- All right.
Oh God.
- Shit.
Hide me.
Hide me.
- What? A stalker's more low-key than this.
[HORSES' FOOTSTEPS, GIRLS GIGGLING.]
- Oh my God.
- Oh my God.
OK.
Go, go, go.
Ready? We should take a selfie.
Ready? - [GIGGLING.]
- Woo! Ivy! What? Oh, God! Hayley! [SHE SCREAMS, HORSE BOLTS.]
- Hayley! - Hayley! - Are you OK? - Shit! Come on.
Hyah! - Come on! Hang on, Ivy! - Ivy! Shit! Ivy, pull on the reigns.
I can't, I can't do it! - Pull on the reigns! - I can't stop! Ivy, watch the car! [HEART BEATS.]
[TYRES SCREECH, CAR HORN BLARES, CRASHES.]
Hold on, Ivy.
I've got you, I've got you.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
It's all right.
- Hey, give me a hand.
- You OK? - Yeah.
- You OK? Hugh! Someone's been hit.
Oh, shit.
Pari.
Pari, can you hear me? She's still breathing.
Unresponsive.
- Call an ambulance.
- On it.
Pedestrian versus car, 02 stat 72%.
BP 67 over 40, heartrate 110, intubated en route, car hit chest, movement on the right side.
Penny, it's Pari Thompson.
I'm going to scrub up.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
OK, I'm going to roll her on three, two, one.
Yeah, you're right.
No chest sounds.
Looks like Hemopneumothorax.
Chest tube, round the back.
I'm going to make an incision on the fifth intercostal space.
Inserting chest tube.
[MACHINE BEEPS.]
02 SATS aren't changing.
Yeah, there's too much blood here.
We're gonna have to crack her chest open and find the source.
You don't have her history.
Ken! Ken! Do a search, Mediweb, for discharge summaries - for Pari Thompson.
- No medical cards but Search for Pari Stavros as well.
Hang on, what did you call her? Pari Stavros.
That's it, she's on warfarin.
That's why she's bleeding out.
She's got a mechanical heart valve.
- How on earth do you know that? - Because I put it in.
She doesn't need surgery, she needs Prothrombinex, 25mg per kilo.
02 SATS are going back up.
[SIGHS.]
[PENSIVE GUITAR MUSIC.]
[CAR APPROACHES.]
Now, before you say anything, I wanna say something first.
The horses were Hayley's idea.
What's wrong with you? I just don't know what to do with you anymore.
I have an idea, why don't you just give up on me and let me go to Bali and be with my mother.
Oh, that's how you think this ends? You piss us off enough, we give up on you and just let you go to Bali? If we give up on you, you go into foster care.
That's how this ends.
I just thought I don't know.
Are you giving up on me? No.
Of course not.
[PHONE CHIMES.]
Sam.
How are you? Really? Shit, you work fast.
So, what are they offering? 14 mill? No, no, I understand.
So, how long have we got to make a decision? Oh, I see.
Yes, no, I'll get back to you.
Thanks.
He wants to sell Arcadia! I mean, he's done a lot of shithead fuckwit things in his time, but selling our home? In fact, why are we even moving our stuff back inside? We're just going to have to move it out anyway.
You still haven't answered my question.
What question? Why were you off getting drunk in the middle of the day? That's your biggest concern right now, my alcohol intake? No, my biggest concern is that while you were off getting drunk, Ivy redecorated, stole two horses and nearly killed a woman.
You're the one that wants to foster her.
So, you don't? No, I don't.
OK? The kid clearly doesn't want to be here.
And five seconds ago, you were telling me that you never wanted to have children.
It doesn't make a lot of sense, does it? You won't have my child, but you'll take on someone else's.
- Ivy is different.
- Just Help me understand.
- You never want to have kids? - I don't.
Because of the ectopic? I know it hasn't been easy, but there are other options.
It's not over.
It is over, Matt.
- You're scared.
- I'm not scared.
I'm OK.
I am never going to have kids and I can live with that.
Can you? What if I can't? Then what, Charlie? I'm gonna sleep on the couch.
[PLAINTIVE MUSIC.]
All the Kings and Queens in the Bible They could not turn back time So what chance have I of a miracle In this life of mine? I only want one day to unsay the things I said Undo the things I did 24 little hours, oh God! Please wipe them all away And I promise I would change If I could start today again Well, I know my prayer's in vain But for a second I'll pretend That I could start today again.
These are for you.
More irises.
Look, Darren.
No, don't worry.
They're just apology flowers.
I know I might have come on a little strong yesterday, so sorry.
Thanks.
I didn't want to push you into anything you're not comfortable with, and if you don't want to see me, that's fine.
I figure I'll just leave it to you, and maybe you change your mind.
Oh, also, I looked up irises.
Turns out they don't just mean friendship.
What else do they mean? Hope.
Your upper chest X-Ray looks good, Hemopneumothorax is resolving.
The transport will be here in a couple of hours and then they'll transfer you to St.
Vincents.
Thanks, Penny.
So, what's it been like having Dr.
Knight out here? It's been an experience.
For both of us.
I like to think that he's a different person now than who he was when he was sent here.
We're lucky to have him.
I believe you.
I've seen Dr.
Knight in action myself.
It was a long time ago, but So, what's the final phase of his investigation? That was it.
An interview with the supervisor Dr.
Penny Cartwright.
Oh.
Thanks.
We're OK.
Right? You and me? We can go back to normal, everything's Fine.
We want different things.
And if you need to be a father, I want you to be free to do whatever you have to do.
I just want things to go back to the way things were.
I think maybe it's a little too late for that.
I take it back, I can be happy without being a dad.
Maybe for the minute.
What about in 20 years? Well, I'll have you.
I love you.
I love you, Matt.
And I'm so sorry.
But I couldn't live with myself if I came between you and having children.
And I just hope that one day, maybe in 20 years, that you'll realise I did this because I love you.
Did what? I'm going to Bali.
You were right about Ivy.
She has a mother, and I'm going to find her.
I meant to ask how the heart valve has been treating you.
Oh, he remembers.
Yes, it was seven years ago.
You were a good doctor.
You still are a good doctor.
You passed, by the way.
Uh thanks.
It was nice meeting you all.
- Goodbye.
- You have a beautiful home.
How are her morphine levels? Mm.
Within legal limits.
I've got some good news, the agent found a buyer for the farm.
Already? Wow.
What does this mean? It means I'm a man of my word.
I'll get my things together.
Hey, Hugh! Sam.
Hugh.
Listen, I thought about it and you can tell the buyer we accept the offer.
Crack the champagne.
Let's get it done.
Yeah, we might need to put a cork in it for the minute.
What do you mean? The buyer's pulled out.
They got wind of a tender being lodged for a cemetery on the property? A cemetery? The guy is superstitious and now he doesn't want anything to do with it.
You can tell him that he's mistaken.
I think I would know if there was a cemetery being built on my farm.
Plus, I would have to authorise Something like that.
I'll get back to you.
I still can't believe what I did.
You've got to let that go now, Hayley.
No one's dead, except poor old Winston here.
Where shall we put him, maybe next to Eliza? No, Eliza's married to Jake, brother of Stephen.
Oh.
It's worse than wedding table arrangements.
Who wants to wind up next to a sleazy old uncle for eternity? What did you have me sign? A sound business proposal.
What, turning Arcadia into a cemetery? Hugh, I've got a great plan - It's ridiculous.
- I know you're angry that we didn't tell you but it was for the best.
For the best? You just lost us a buyer.
What buyer? A guy was offering us $14 million, enough to cover the debts and then some, enough to start a new life somewhere else.
Well, I don't want a new life somewhere else.
Well, I do! This was never supposed to be my life.
I know that and yet here we are.
I can't believe you went behind my back.
- Just like you went behind ours.
- [SCOFFS.]
The decision has been made.
The farm is being sold before it drags us all under.
Matt.
Look, about yesterday, I just want to explain Charlie's leaving.
Bali with Ivy.
Oh, well She'll be back, right? I don't know.
I think it's over.
We're over.
Oh, mate.
I want kids, she doesn't.
We've been pretending it's not a problem between us, but it is.
Ever since dad died, we've all been fighting so hard for everything to stay the same but Nothing will ever be the same.
Sell the farm.
[GENTLE MUSIC.]
I never stood a chance When I watched the devil dance And I've got creatures in my head They've been sleeping in my bed I feel them creeping in As the lights are going dim And I will take you down to my hell If you promise you won't tell Ooh Ooh Don't fight it Don't you deny it Don't run, don't run They've already won You shiver to the bones It's those thoughts that come alive when you're all alone And it brings you to your knees Like a current that's raging from an angry black sea Ooh Ooh But don't fight it Don't you deny it Don't run, don't run They've already won But don't fight it Don't you deny it - Don't run, don't run - They've already won.
I have to go to the hospital to perform seven stents, three angioplasties.
Also, I've got to earn money to pour into this bottomless pit! Right, well, here's this month's payment.
Kept the hounds at bay for the moment.
They kinda ran this place into the ground.
[GUNSHOT.]
I'm putting the farm on the market.
- I'm leaving Whyhope.
- This is a joke.
You're all a joke.
Are you saying you would like to cancel the procedure? Get your thing out of me now.
A complaint's been lodged against you with APRA.
Any ideas why? You can either be a dad, or be with me.
If I were you, I know which one I would choose.
They'll be better off without me.
Tell Charlie I'm sorry.
I think you might have forgotten something, Charlie.
Ivy, get out here right now! What are we going to do with a teenager? She's staying here, there's not really another option.
[GENTLE GUITAR MUSIC.]
[SIRENS BLARE.]
[MATT SIGHS.]
Darren.
Got a call this morning about a trespasser in a guy's backyard.
I caught Ivy here with a stolen marijuana plant trying to hitchhike down the highway.
None of this will hold up in court.
You've no evidence I was even there.
The guy gave a description, teenage girl, black jeans, brown hair, about 160cm.
- You are so grounded.
- For what? I just aided police in the location and capture of a dangerous drug dealer.
Give me your phone.
Wouldn't have to put up with this in Bali.
We're really sorry about this.
Yeah, well, there's something else.
Children's services were notified.
I wanted to give you the heads-up that someone might be coming by later today to enquire about her living situation.
What? Why? Well, she's a minor without a permanent guardian.
- She has us.
- You're not related.
- Well, not exactly.
- And she's living in your house.
Technically she's living on our lawn.
Either way, she's here, and they may decide that she should be in foster care.
Unless I got you these.
You guys want to be her foster parents? We'll get back to you.
I'm going up the country, babe, don't you wanna go? I'm going up the country, babe, don't you wanna go? I'm going someplace where I've never been before I'll leave this city, I've got to get away I'll leave this city, I've got to get away All this fussing and fighting, man, you know I sure can't stay.
So, Sam, what do you think? Yeah, well, you don't see a place like this every day.
1200 acres, 1856 farmhouse with north-facing windows.
If I was in the market, I would buy it myself.
Right, so how much do you think we get for it? Could be 11, 12 million? Really? [EXHALES.]
That'd be enough to pay off the mortgage and have some left over.
Or I can open up the property for offers, ring around, see if we can get any interest? Do it.
All right.
Good man.
When are you leaving? Uh How's Wednesday? Tuesday's sooner.
OK, Tuesday it is.
Why do you have a letter from APRA? Uh we're pen pals? Hugh, it says you're being investigated for misconduct.
Their sending someone here tomorrow.
Why wasn't I notified? [SIGHS.]
Because I don't work for you anymore.
Anyway, it's just a formality.
One teeny tiny complaint.
Like threatening to remove a woman's stent? High, you've already got strikes on your record, I'm pretty sure the next one's the death penalty.
Or worse.
Ah.
Worse than the death penalty? They could make you stay in Whyhope another year.
Just get it sorted, Hugh.
You can't stay here.
I know, I know, OK.
I'll handle it.
OK, team, how's the APRA prep going? I've written you 12 positive Google reviews.
They're under different names, right? Great.
Betty, can we schedule Ms.
Holloway in for a check-up? I know she adores me.
Already done, in fact, I've scheduled all your favourite patients for tomorrow.
- Excellent.
- However, that did mean I had to schedule your difficult patients for today.
Mr.
Anderson is waiting.
Ah.
Hugh Knight, what are the chances? [MOUTHS.]
Well how have you been? Good, good, great.
- Great.
- I've been great.
Anyway, Betty will look after you.
You you don't remember me, do you? Uh No, sorry.
Pari Thompson.
Well, it's not important.
Shall we start with the investigation? - Sorry, what? - Oh, I work for APRA now.
I am the doctor assigned to your case.
But that isn't until tomorrow? Oh, no.
We always come early.
Otherwise you might prepare or something! So, shall we begin? Yes, let's begin.
Down the hall to the left.
Be with you in a second.
Did that go as badly as I think it did? Worse.
Don't worry, I'll do some detective work.
So, big decision.
Is it? Seems easy to me.
We have to foster her.
Really? You don't think we should do it? Huh.
She's not exactly Oliver Twist.
- She has a mother.
- Yeah, somewhere in Bali right now, with braids and a Mai Tai.
Then we should be trying to find her.
Yeah, who knows how long that'll take? And child services are showing up today.
If we don't agree to keep her, she'll end up in foster care.
OK.
Great.
Well, we'll tell her tonight.
And you're gonna be around in case child services show up? Sure.
It's the right decision.
Ivy needs people who are there for her.
Can you watch her today? I can't, I've got farming work to do.
I've got a meeting at school.
- Meryl.
- Meryl can do it, yeah.
[MUSIC PLAYS THROUGH HEADPHONES.]
[SHOUTS.]
What did you do? What's it to you? Nothing.
I saw a police car earlier.
Let me guess, shoplifting, breaking and entering? My team of lawyers advised me not to talk about it.
[WHISPERS.]
Did you kill someone? [BABY CRIES.]
Ah.
Stay right there.
I have eyes everywhere.
Oh, it's a bit of an art project? It's a picket sign.
They're building a motorway through the cemetery so all the graves have to be dug up and moved.
That's a bit of a morbid thought.
Yeah.
I'm picketing against it.
No one's going to move my mother away from me.
What do you think? "Please no motorway thank you.
" Polite.
I've made a few picket signs in my time.
Led a few rallies.
I could help if you like? I think I got it covered.
Now, there will be three phases to the investigation, at the end of which, I will determine whether your conduct poses a legitimate risk to patient safety.
Look, I am sorry that I don't remember you.
If we could just clear it up Don't worry about it, Dr.
Knight.
Now, the first phase is shadowing.
I'll be monitoring your next consult.
- Just, uh, pretend I'm not here.
- Right.
Mr.
Anderson, how are you? Uh This is, um, My name's.
Thompson.
I'll be observing this consult.
Why? Standard practice, just pretend I'm not here.
So Mr.
Anderson, you do look like you are a candidate for a stent.
We just have to take a few blood tests first so I'll get a nurse.
Or I could do it? Yes.
Great.
If you wouldn't mind rolling up your sleeve for me.
And we're going to need one of these.
And those.
Right.
There you go, thank you.
Uh, it's too tight.
It's supposed to be tight.
There we go.
OK.
Here we go.
And What are you trying to Just [GRUNTS.]
One more Hold still for me.
You do have tough veins, don't you? - What did you call me? - Just I want someone else.
Got it! Yes, there we go.
A-ha! [GROANS.]
Hey, Matt.
Are you busy? Uh Not at all, free as a bird.
OK, great.
'Cause I need you to take care of Jimmy.
- Oh I really can't.
- [CHUCKLES.]
It's just for a little bit.
I'll be back soon.
Hey, hey, OK.
- Just mind his head, yeah? - Yeah.
There we go.
Whoa.
All right.
You are not exactly what I had in mind when I said I needed a farmhand.
Have you got any manual labour experience, any qualifications? You are pretty cute.
I'll give you that.
You know, we're not gonna have a baby.
Charlie doesn't wanna have kids.
I think Maybe she's scared about what happened.
[GENTLE GUITAR MUSIC.]
- Is that Darren's dating profile? - No.
You like him, don't you? It's strictly business.
I run the website.
No, it isn't.
You have feelings for him.
I can feel them from here! We have work to do, Ken.
Did he ask you out? - Yes, all right? Happy? - I knew it.
When's the date? Where are you going? I don't know, Ken.
What do you mean you don't know? I didn't respond to his text.
What? Why? 'Cause I don't want to go! First dates are an awful invention.
It's one hour of awkward small talk and then 6 days of postdate analysis.
No, thank you.
I am quite happy with things the way they are.
You know, it's quite impolite to be on your phone while conversing.
Sorry.
I just have to send this text.
"Hey, Darren.
Betty's phone is broken.
"She would love to come to lunch, 1 PM today.
" Sent.
Oh, Ken! - You will thank me for this.
- [SIGHS.]
Ridiculous, ain't it? Who ever heard of moving a cemetery? I've got three generations of relatives in there.
I'm building a crypt, right, for my eight sons.
- You have eight sons? - Yeah! [CHUCKLES.]
Now one of them wants to bury his wife in there too.
I'm like, "All right, I'll build a bigger crypt.
" It's another 4000.
But now he's worried that she might die before him and needs a plot for his hypothetical second wife.
What am I, made of money? Oh.
Here's the petition to sign.
20,000 it's going to cost me.
Next it'll be his ugly Siamese cat.
$20,000? To top it off, they want to move the bloody thing.
Do they have a site for it yet? Ah, no.
No one wants to take it.
Probably be dead by the time they sort it out.
Hey! You forgot to sign it.
Shit, child services.
Matt, where are you? Sorry, not sure where Matt is.
And do you know where Ivy's mother this? She's in Bali, she's a little hard to get hold of.
But we're happy to keep Ivy until we can find her.
So you're planning on becoming her legal guardians then? Yeah, she's in good hands.
I've got the forms inside.
Yes, and I hear she was arrested this morning? Yeah.
Do you want to come on through? What are you reading? Wuthering Heights.
- It's a classic.
- Yeah, I know.
I've read it.
It's kind of boring.
It's literature.
[SIGHS.]
I don't know what to do when Ajax is looking after Jimmy.
Does that make me boring? Yeah.
I hate it out here.
- It's so dull.
- No, it's not! It's beautiful.
It doesn't matter.
I expect Matt and Charlie will give up on me fairly soon.
Especially once they've seen their lawn.
And as soon as they've had enough, I'm going to Bali.
To Bali? Where my mother is.
Come on, let's get out of here.
[SCOFFS.]
How? We'll take those.
No.
I'm reading.
Come on.
Heathcliff dies, let's go.
Now, for the second phase of the investigation, we're going to be doing some role-plays.
[SCOFFS.]
You can't be serious.
Are you ready for me now? Yes, come, please sit down.
Here you go.
Now, this is Marjorie.
She's a 45-year-old farmer - with a history of smoking.
- Hi.
OK, fine.
[SIGHS.]
Marjorie, what seems to be the problem? I have atopic dermatitis, gross, what do I do, Doc? You put some cortisone on it.
- Am I done? - Not yet.
This is Leonard, he's a 70-year-old retired veteran.
[RASPILY.]
I need to see a doctor.
- What's wrong with you? - What do you mean what's wrong with me? I've got one leg.
And what can I do for you? [AMERICAN ACCENT.]
Well, I was taking my three children to school the other day Just tell me what's wrong with you.
Oh.
Well, it appears I have a lump in my Oh, I'm a man, sorry, can we start again? [CLEARS THROAT.]
[LOW VOICE.]
I was taking my three children to school the other day How's the interrogation coming? Terribly.
Thanks for asking.
She's putting me through these ridiculous exercises.
You know, I should lodge a complaint of my own.
You have to play her game.
This will only be harder if you put up a fight.
I'm putting Arcadia up for sale.
You're selling the farm? I don't have a choice.
I can't keep it afloat.
How are the family? They don't know yet.
[SIGHS.]
Do you follow me everywhere? Just pretend I'm not here.
What it this all about? I have an idea how we can save the farm.
You want to turn Arcadia into a cemetery? They haven't found a site yet.
We could use this paddock.
Ajax, I think it's very noble that you want to help all these homeless dead people but can't we use this paddock for something more profitable like growing potatoes? I mean, everybody needs potatoes.
No, it's 5000 per plot, + 1400 transportation, and $600 in annual maintenance fees, - so altogether, that gives us - 7000 for a hole.
What do you think? We could use the brewery for funerals.
- That would make more cash.
- So you're gonna help me? A hole to get us out of a hole.
I like the poetry in that.
Hey.
- What are you doing? - Just - Hiding from my shadow.
- Oh.
Have you got anything for me? You bet I do.
OK.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Pari Thompson, 32, recently married, grew up in Darwin.
Right, so maybe Her favourite colour's apricot.
She has three outstanding parking tickets, a gorgeous two bedroom apartment, - her tax file number's 042 - OK, OK.
What about me? How does she know me? Oh.
Well, I have compiled a list of possibilities.
One, you slept with her.
Two, you slept with her sister.
Three, you slept with her mother.
Should I keep going? I'm screwed.
There's a lot to organise.
We'd better get a move on.
I've got a feeling that Hugh's looking for an exit strategy.
Ivy! We need his signature to make a bid for that cemetery.
- Do you think he'll go for it? - Uh Best not to say anything until things are in full swing.
And don't worry about that signature.
I'll handle it.
Ivy! [DOOR OPENS.]
- Hi.
- Hi.
[LAUGHS.]
[BOTH LAUGH NERVOUSLY.]
Uh, these are for you.
They're chrysanthemums.
They symbolise honesty, which seemed appropriate because Well, it's time I'm honest and I told you how I feel about you.
Well, in the interest of honesty, these are irises.
Oh.
Well, what do they symbolise? Friendship.
[CHUCKLES.]
Damn.
Well, Betty, what it comes down to is that I think you're great.
- And I would really like - Hello! - Uh hi, Mia.
- Hey.
Do you think the pad Thai here is gluten-free? Suddenly I'm not so hungry.
If you're not hungry, we can share something.
Yeah.
I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
What is up with him? No idea.
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh.
What are you doing here? I'm just on my way out.
Well, Glenn seems to have lost your Superfund consolidation application form, and he needs you to sign another, so it's just on the back page.
Actually, there was something I wanted to talk to you about.
About the debt.
I really think we are starting to run out of options.
So no more, thinking caps are on.
Mum, what I'm saying I know exactly what you're saying but we're not there yet.
There are other options.
Forms.
See you later.
[GENTLE GUITAR MUSIC.]
[PHONE RINGS.]
[PHONE BEEPS.]
Hey.
You want a drink? No, I'm working.
Hey, listen, I want to talk to you about something Yeah, actually, there's something I want to talk about with you too.
Look as you know, things are not looking great for the farm.
Not moving fast enough to keep up with repayments, so What it comes down to is this.
I'm gonna sell the farm.
There, I said it.
You know what? I feel better.
I might have that drink.
You what? Sell the farm? That's your plan? I'm just throwing money away trying to keep it afloat.
We can sell and we'll start again.
You can't sell the fucking farm! Do you want to keep it down? Yeah? How many of those have you had? Then what, you go back to your million-dollar lifestyle in Sydney - and leave us all homeless? - That's not how it would work.
- Can you calm down? - I'm perfectly calm! All right.
All right.
- You two need to leave.
- I haven't finished my beer yet.
- I reckon you've had enough.
- Both of you, out.
Now.
- Go on.
- All right.
Oh God.
- Shit.
Hide me.
Hide me.
- What? A stalker's more low-key than this.
[HORSES' FOOTSTEPS, GIRLS GIGGLING.]
- Oh my God.
- Oh my God.
OK.
Go, go, go.
Ready? We should take a selfie.
Ready? - [GIGGLING.]
- Woo! Ivy! What? Oh, God! Hayley! [SHE SCREAMS, HORSE BOLTS.]
- Hayley! - Hayley! - Are you OK? - Shit! Come on.
Hyah! - Come on! Hang on, Ivy! - Ivy! Shit! Ivy, pull on the reigns.
I can't, I can't do it! - Pull on the reigns! - I can't stop! Ivy, watch the car! [HEART BEATS.]
[TYRES SCREECH, CAR HORN BLARES, CRASHES.]
Hold on, Ivy.
I've got you, I've got you.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
It's all right.
- Hey, give me a hand.
- You OK? - Yeah.
- You OK? Hugh! Someone's been hit.
Oh, shit.
Pari.
Pari, can you hear me? She's still breathing.
Unresponsive.
- Call an ambulance.
- On it.
Pedestrian versus car, 02 stat 72%.
BP 67 over 40, heartrate 110, intubated en route, car hit chest, movement on the right side.
Penny, it's Pari Thompson.
I'm going to scrub up.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
OK, I'm going to roll her on three, two, one.
Yeah, you're right.
No chest sounds.
Looks like Hemopneumothorax.
Chest tube, round the back.
I'm going to make an incision on the fifth intercostal space.
Inserting chest tube.
[MACHINE BEEPS.]
02 SATS aren't changing.
Yeah, there's too much blood here.
We're gonna have to crack her chest open and find the source.
You don't have her history.
Ken! Ken! Do a search, Mediweb, for discharge summaries - for Pari Thompson.
- No medical cards but Search for Pari Stavros as well.
Hang on, what did you call her? Pari Stavros.
That's it, she's on warfarin.
That's why she's bleeding out.
She's got a mechanical heart valve.
- How on earth do you know that? - Because I put it in.
She doesn't need surgery, she needs Prothrombinex, 25mg per kilo.
02 SATS are going back up.
[SIGHS.]
[PENSIVE GUITAR MUSIC.]
[CAR APPROACHES.]
Now, before you say anything, I wanna say something first.
The horses were Hayley's idea.
What's wrong with you? I just don't know what to do with you anymore.
I have an idea, why don't you just give up on me and let me go to Bali and be with my mother.
Oh, that's how you think this ends? You piss us off enough, we give up on you and just let you go to Bali? If we give up on you, you go into foster care.
That's how this ends.
I just thought I don't know.
Are you giving up on me? No.
Of course not.
[PHONE CHIMES.]
Sam.
How are you? Really? Shit, you work fast.
So, what are they offering? 14 mill? No, no, I understand.
So, how long have we got to make a decision? Oh, I see.
Yes, no, I'll get back to you.
Thanks.
He wants to sell Arcadia! I mean, he's done a lot of shithead fuckwit things in his time, but selling our home? In fact, why are we even moving our stuff back inside? We're just going to have to move it out anyway.
You still haven't answered my question.
What question? Why were you off getting drunk in the middle of the day? That's your biggest concern right now, my alcohol intake? No, my biggest concern is that while you were off getting drunk, Ivy redecorated, stole two horses and nearly killed a woman.
You're the one that wants to foster her.
So, you don't? No, I don't.
OK? The kid clearly doesn't want to be here.
And five seconds ago, you were telling me that you never wanted to have children.
It doesn't make a lot of sense, does it? You won't have my child, but you'll take on someone else's.
- Ivy is different.
- Just Help me understand.
- You never want to have kids? - I don't.
Because of the ectopic? I know it hasn't been easy, but there are other options.
It's not over.
It is over, Matt.
- You're scared.
- I'm not scared.
I'm OK.
I am never going to have kids and I can live with that.
Can you? What if I can't? Then what, Charlie? I'm gonna sleep on the couch.
[PLAINTIVE MUSIC.]
All the Kings and Queens in the Bible They could not turn back time So what chance have I of a miracle In this life of mine? I only want one day to unsay the things I said Undo the things I did 24 little hours, oh God! Please wipe them all away And I promise I would change If I could start today again Well, I know my prayer's in vain But for a second I'll pretend That I could start today again.
These are for you.
More irises.
Look, Darren.
No, don't worry.
They're just apology flowers.
I know I might have come on a little strong yesterday, so sorry.
Thanks.
I didn't want to push you into anything you're not comfortable with, and if you don't want to see me, that's fine.
I figure I'll just leave it to you, and maybe you change your mind.
Oh, also, I looked up irises.
Turns out they don't just mean friendship.
What else do they mean? Hope.
Your upper chest X-Ray looks good, Hemopneumothorax is resolving.
The transport will be here in a couple of hours and then they'll transfer you to St.
Vincents.
Thanks, Penny.
So, what's it been like having Dr.
Knight out here? It's been an experience.
For both of us.
I like to think that he's a different person now than who he was when he was sent here.
We're lucky to have him.
I believe you.
I've seen Dr.
Knight in action myself.
It was a long time ago, but So, what's the final phase of his investigation? That was it.
An interview with the supervisor Dr.
Penny Cartwright.
Oh.
Thanks.
We're OK.
Right? You and me? We can go back to normal, everything's Fine.
We want different things.
And if you need to be a father, I want you to be free to do whatever you have to do.
I just want things to go back to the way things were.
I think maybe it's a little too late for that.
I take it back, I can be happy without being a dad.
Maybe for the minute.
What about in 20 years? Well, I'll have you.
I love you.
I love you, Matt.
And I'm so sorry.
But I couldn't live with myself if I came between you and having children.
And I just hope that one day, maybe in 20 years, that you'll realise I did this because I love you.
Did what? I'm going to Bali.
You were right about Ivy.
She has a mother, and I'm going to find her.
I meant to ask how the heart valve has been treating you.
Oh, he remembers.
Yes, it was seven years ago.
You were a good doctor.
You still are a good doctor.
You passed, by the way.
Uh thanks.
It was nice meeting you all.
- Goodbye.
- You have a beautiful home.
How are her morphine levels? Mm.
Within legal limits.
I've got some good news, the agent found a buyer for the farm.
Already? Wow.
What does this mean? It means I'm a man of my word.
I'll get my things together.
Hey, Hugh! Sam.
Hugh.
Listen, I thought about it and you can tell the buyer we accept the offer.
Crack the champagne.
Let's get it done.
Yeah, we might need to put a cork in it for the minute.
What do you mean? The buyer's pulled out.
They got wind of a tender being lodged for a cemetery on the property? A cemetery? The guy is superstitious and now he doesn't want anything to do with it.
You can tell him that he's mistaken.
I think I would know if there was a cemetery being built on my farm.
Plus, I would have to authorise Something like that.
I'll get back to you.
I still can't believe what I did.
You've got to let that go now, Hayley.
No one's dead, except poor old Winston here.
Where shall we put him, maybe next to Eliza? No, Eliza's married to Jake, brother of Stephen.
Oh.
It's worse than wedding table arrangements.
Who wants to wind up next to a sleazy old uncle for eternity? What did you have me sign? A sound business proposal.
What, turning Arcadia into a cemetery? Hugh, I've got a great plan - It's ridiculous.
- I know you're angry that we didn't tell you but it was for the best.
For the best? You just lost us a buyer.
What buyer? A guy was offering us $14 million, enough to cover the debts and then some, enough to start a new life somewhere else.
Well, I don't want a new life somewhere else.
Well, I do! This was never supposed to be my life.
I know that and yet here we are.
I can't believe you went behind my back.
- Just like you went behind ours.
- [SCOFFS.]
The decision has been made.
The farm is being sold before it drags us all under.
Matt.
Look, about yesterday, I just want to explain Charlie's leaving.
Bali with Ivy.
Oh, well She'll be back, right? I don't know.
I think it's over.
We're over.
Oh, mate.
I want kids, she doesn't.
We've been pretending it's not a problem between us, but it is.
Ever since dad died, we've all been fighting so hard for everything to stay the same but Nothing will ever be the same.
Sell the farm.
[GENTLE MUSIC.]
I never stood a chance When I watched the devil dance And I've got creatures in my head They've been sleeping in my bed I feel them creeping in As the lights are going dim And I will take you down to my hell If you promise you won't tell Ooh Ooh Don't fight it Don't you deny it Don't run, don't run They've already won You shiver to the bones It's those thoughts that come alive when you're all alone And it brings you to your knees Like a current that's raging from an angry black sea Ooh Ooh But don't fight it Don't you deny it Don't run, don't run They've already won But don't fight it Don't you deny it - Don't run, don't run - They've already won.
