Doctor Doctor (2016) s03e09 Episode Script

1 Penny, I completely understand if you don't want to but I was wondering - I'd love to.
- Yeah? Why can you take on this kid and not take on ours? CHARLIE: Because I'm that girl, Matt.
I'm going to Bali.
She has a mother and I'm gonna find her.
- She'll be back, right? - I think it's over.
"Dear diary, I want to have Matt Knight's babies.
" Very funny.
"I wish he'd ask me to go round with him.
" HARRIET: Option A, we co-parent.
Or option B, you walk away, no strings.
It's OK.
I'll be with you soon.
- Really? - I'm putting the farm on the market.
[FIRES SHOT.]
Let it go.
He's won.
Farming's in our blood, Matt.
I got an offer from that mob today, BOP Enterprises.
Goodness.
- Sold.
- Sold.
[BIRDSONG.]
Argh It's small but with efficient use of space, it means you don't think it's small.
Nothing you said made sense.
And you'll have neighbours of your generation around you.
Common interests.
And the smell? There's some open sewage.
- It's move-in ready.
- Not sure I'm ready.
Rod, this one of yours? Beauty, isn't it? Are you thinking of buying? Oh, I'm sadly considering my options.
I don't want to throw you out of your house, Meryl.
What do you mean? I bought your farm.
BOP Enterprises, Birds of Prey.
Catchy, eh? The eagle always gets its prey.
- That's what it means.
I hunt - I understand the metaphor.
- You bought our farm? - Yeah, I did.
And the thing is, I don't need the homestead.
Just the land.
So, for a nominal rent, say, 100 bucks a week, you can stay there.
I don't believe this.
Well, believe it.
I have a generous spirit.
And maybe I come around once a week for a glass of wine or two, stay the night [CAR DOOR CLOSES.]
Bye, Rod.
I'm going up the country, babe, don't you want to go? I'm going up the country, babe, don't you want to go? I'm going some place where I've never been before I'll leave this city, I've got to get away I'm gonna leave this city, I've got to get away All this fussing and fighting Man, you know I sure can't stay.
[MEDICAL EQUIPMENT BEEPS.]
Do you need to get that? - [KNOCKING CONTINUES.]
- No.
- Are you sure? - [KNOCKING CONTINUES.]
[SIGHS.]
Uh, can I help you? I'll only ask you this once and if you're lying, I'll know it because I always do.
And if the answer is yes, you better clear a space on your operating table because you will have broken my heart in a way that even you won't be able to fix it.
What are you talking about? Are you aware that you are selling the farm to Rod Eagle? - To Rod Eagle? - Yes.
Be honest with me, Hugh.
Well, it said BOP Enterprises on the contract.
That's Rod's company! He is not having the farm.
He is not! Oh, shit.
I didn't know.
Well, now you do.
We have to stop this.
Look, I know it's not ideal but if we could just put aside the fact that you loathe him with every fibre of your being, we'll soon come to realise that his money is as good as anyone else's.
No.
Mum, it's done.
- I'm sorry.
- It's Rod Eagle.
That's not very strong case, Mum.
I know you don't like the guy but money's money.
- He paid a really, really good price.
- No - We agreed to clear the debt.
- I can't believe this.
- You are so heartless.
- I didn't know it was Rod.
But there's nothing we can do now.
The deposit's paid.
There's 24 hours left in the cooling-off period and then it becomes official.
Cooling-off period? That's great.
We can pull out.
It's his cooling-off period, not ours.
He's got till 5pm tomorrow.
Right.
Look, I know this is hard but there was a problem and I solved it.
Please, do not unsolve it.
[LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION AND LAUGHTER.]
I I really should go get some work done soon.
You should, but you look cute and I look cute and who knows how much air's left in this mattress.
You said that yesterday.
Hey, I gotta ask, are we level-jumping here? - Level-jumping? - Yeah.
Moving too quickly.
Skipping cute milestones.
I mean, just a couple of days ago, I was moving and you were married.
Charlie and I We ended it.
Plus, technically, you and I have already been in a relationship full of cute little milestones.
Like that time I vomited birthday cake in your locker [LAUGHS.]
So, any progress we make now is Just picking up where we left off.
Where was that again? Hmm - Hmm.
- Hmm.
Ajax.
[SWITCHES OFF ENGINE.]
Please come inside.
Jimmy just said 'far'.
I googled it and it means 'dad' in Danish.
Ajax, what exactly did the barrister say? Caveat means nothing.
No grounds to contest the sale.
Well, we'll think of something.
Mum's looking at houses, Hayles.
Everyone's given up.
Well, how is this digging gonna help, huh? Why are you limping? Mmm I tripped on those stupid holes you dug in the bottom paddock.
- Hey.
- [STARTS.]
Happy anniversary.
Happy anniversary.
I'm working late but, um, I'll see you after? Yeah, you bet.
You forgot, didn't you? [SCOFFS.]
Of course not.
No.
In fact, I have to go pick up the present that I Already bought for her.
Just looking at the roster.
You're going home early tonight.
Yes.
And coming in late tomorrow.
Yes.
You've got a date? It's with Raph.
There's just one tiny little thing I need to do and then I'm good to go.
You haven't asked him, have you? Yes, alright.
Yes, you have or, yes, you haven't? No.
Call him.
Now.
I will.
I will call him.
MATT: Rod Eagle? HAYLEY: Oh, no.
- Did Hugh know? - No.
But he said it's done and we have to move on.
And what do you say? I say my grandmother was born on this land and I'm not just gonna roll over for Rod Eagle.
- He's not even a farmer.
- But I know Rod.
Why is he so happy paying asking price for failing farming land? I think I know why.
I didn't know what they were but now I do.
Core samples.
Mining.
He's come in here god knows when and taken them.
Something's in there and he's gonna dig it up.
He's planning to turn our land into a mine.
No wonder he didn't care about the house.
What's he gonna do with the house? Probably turn it into a brothel.
- Oh It's disgusting.
- We're zoned agriculture.
Yeah, and he's planning to rezone it.
And he's not gonna spend $14 million hoping that's going to happen when he knows it's going to happen.
And you know what, my children, I smell? Hope.
Matt, I need a lift to the golf club.
- But - I take it Charlie's not back yet? - No.
- Then you've got plenty of free-time time.
You look unusually thoughtful.
Oh The farm.
Family are unhappy.
Well, everyone has to move on.
- Exactly.
- People get broken.
That's life.
Wouldn't have put it quite like that.
It's true, though.
We're doctors.
We see broken people and we're amazed the way they heal.
That's life.
- You seem very - Indeed.
I am.
Bye.
Got a date.
Right.
Hugh, what do you buy someone for a one-year anniversary? No idea.
I know what to get someone for a one-day anniversary, though.
Hey, you.
You're from the hospital, yeah? I need your help.
What's happened? Just Just come on.
[SIGHS.]
- Where's the emergency? - Oh, get in the van.
I'll take you to it.
[LAUGHS.]
Get in the van? Aren't you supposed to offer us a bag of lollies first? Please, man, just get in the van.
Look, we'll call the hospital and go get the clinic car, OK? Oh Hey Uh, Hugh What the fuck? You're wasting time.
Just get in the van.
[SIGHS.]
Get in the van.

Hurry up, hurry up.
Get in! [BIRDSONG.]
[SUCKS AIR IN.]
- [COMPUTER BLEEPS.]
- Uh - [COMPUTER BLEEPS.]
- [DING!.]
Hi.
Again.
Hi.
Sorry.
For a second there, I was worried about the the time zone thing.
- Oh, Bali's two hours, Matt.
- Right.
So Speaking of, how are things over there? Uh, nothing to report.
No tan yet.
Or Zen.
- More upset about the tan.
- [LAUGHS.]
- How are things on your side? - Good, thanks.
Yeah, nothing much to report here either.
- Are you OK? - Yep.
Are you sure? I guess I just wanted to call and say that if you feel like you need to see other people, then that's OK.
Wow! Where the hell did that come from? I I don't know.
There's a lot of buffed, tanned dudes in Bali, aren't there? Do you want to see other people? Of course not.
I just I wanted to establish how things were at your end.
Whew.
Well, on my end, it's snail's pace.
Yeah.
OK.
Same at at my end.
I better get some work done.
OK.
Take care of yourself.
[ENDS CALL.]
[THWACK!.]
Shot, Nancy Miller! [EXHALES.]
Meryl.
Didn't pick you as a golfer.
Correct.
Haven't got the patience, nor the shoulders for the polo shirt.
But you, on the other hand Look fabulous in a polo shirt, I know.
Are you flirting with me, Meryl? I think there's something corrupt going on in council.
And as you're the mayor Ah, but you're not on council anymore, so I'm sure there's not.
How whimsical.
[LAUGHS.]
I think you're gonna rezone my land to mining.
What? [LAUGHS.]
you are! Oh, I knew it! Aren't you cute when you blush! [BOTH LAUGH.]
How much was that worth to you? A lot, I fancy.
My partner's here now, Meryl.
We We have to make our tee time Meryl! Every time I turn around, there you are.
I think it's fate.
I'm onto you two.
Really? Well, let's see.
Disgruntled ex-mayor resigns in disgrace, loses farm due to mismanagement, starts throwing around accusations at a squeaky-clean lesbian and a respected, highly sexual businessman.
Hmm.
Don't think so.
- Shall we, Mayor Miller? - Yeah.
Bye, Meryl.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Well, if you were hoping for a ransom, you should know that my family is straight up broke.
I can wire you $50,000 in 24 hours.
Just don't hurt me.
Seriously? Both of you, shut up.
I'm trying to think.
Now, which one of you is the doctor? - He is.
- He is.
Over here.
He was shaking and now I can't wake him.
How long has he been like this? Oh, since this morning.
Well, he needs a hospital.
Ken, call an ambulance.
No.
No hospitals.
He stays here.
Give me your phone.
He could die if he stays here.
Well, you better figure out what's wrong with him, 'cause no-one's leaving until you do.
[BLOWS WHISTLE.]
- Hey.
- Hi, lollipop man.
Yeah, I know.
I drew the short straw at the P and F meeting.
No, you didn't.
Talk to me when you're vaccinating 50 crying first-graders.
Yeah, that sounds worse.
Anyway, I better let these guys go.
Uh Do you want to maybe Go out with me? Yeah, I'd love to.
What, next week some time? Next week's good.
Or, you know Tonight.
Uh yeah, I can do tonight.
- Great! - OK.
[HORNS HONK.]
Alright! Well, I'll I'll see you later.
Yeah.
Great.
- Hey, do you like to fish? - I love fish! Perfect! Hey, Romeo.
Hoping I'd sense you out here.
April, I think we need to end this.
I'm so sorry.
- Right.
- Maybe we are level-jumping.
I mean, everything's moving so quickly and the whole Charlie thing, it's still fresh and my family don't even know.
Matt, I totally get it.
You don't have to stress.
I do, because you're fricken awesome.
So are you.
- And you're so funny.
- I am funny.
And I need you to know that I respect you so much.
Well, I respect you respecting me like this.
- Jesus! - What? What happened to your finger? Nothing.
Don't worry.
No, no, you need to go see a doctor.
- [LAUGHS.]
- Come on.
[LAUGHS.]
[HISSING.]
OK, I think we've popped this for real this time.
[GROANS.]
[JIMMY GURGLES.]
Shh, shh.
[CLOSES DOOR.]
Rezoning application.
Lodged for approval at the next meeting.
For mining on Arcadia.
Oh It's Nancy Miller.
What? Mayor Miller? I always thought she was so straight, corruption-wise.
He must've paid her a lot of money.
Six figures or more.
Oh, my God.
That's shocking.
- That's good.
- What? Why? Because you can't pay that in cash.
It's too much.
And if you don't pay that sort of money in cash, there's a record of it.
We find it, smoking gun.
Well, how do we do that? Call the police to uphold the law.
Nice work, Jimmy.
Nice work.
HUGH: Pupils are sluggish.
- He's got an elevated heart rate.
- Oh, what does that mean? It means he needs to be in the hospital.
Not while there's a warrant out for my arrest.
A warrant? What for? Look, just for future reference, next time you want to kidnap a doctor, you might want to make sure he's got his medical kit on him first.
Oh, and a CT machine.
Your son could be bleeding into his brain and I have no way of knowing.
Well, what are you doing? Keep working.
How? I mean, you can wave that gun around in my face all you like.
But I can't diagnose him without the proper equipment.
Well, just take a guess.
Do something! Uh, Hugh There could be 20 things that cause the symptoms.
What are you doing? Is that one of the 20? Well, go on.
Shoot it.
I can't.
I've got no bullets.
Oh, you're kidding.
So, my life's not in danger? Well, not from him, anyway.
Oh Argh Alright.
Get down.
Alright.
Here.
Here.
Snakebites can sometimes look more like a scratch.
We'll get him some antivenom when we get back to the hospital.
And if he doesn't go? Then he's dead in six hours.
Oh No.
- No? - No.
If I take him to hospital, they'll know where I am and I'll go to jail.
[GROANS.]
Alright.
Alright, how about this? We'll take him in.
You don't have to come.
We'll say we found him.
No, no, if he goes to hospital, they'll take him away and I'll never see him again.
You will.
It'll be fine.
No, it won't be fine.
You don't understand.
I killed a woman.
I mean, not deliberately.
I'm not a murderer, I swear.
I just The police called it a hit-and-run but I didn't know she died.
Oh I'm sorry, bud.
I didn't mean for all this to happen.
Look, there's no other option.
We have to take him in.
There's always another option.
You go to hospital, you get the antivenom, you bring it back.
He lives and he gets to keep his father.
OK.
I don't have time to argue.
You deal with the snake.
Cool.
Good plan.
I'll see you later.
No, no You stay here.
Hell, no.
I'm not kidnapped anymore.
I'm getting out of here.
I need you to keep an eye on the kid.
You want me to voluntarily stay here with the snake and the murderer? Yep.
What if I get bitten or killed or Stockholm syndrome? Nah, you'll be fine.
- I'll be back soon.
- [FOOTSTEPS RECEDE.]
Hey.
Hi.
You look lovely.
Thanks.
[GIGGLES.]
Might be a bit cold, though, by the water.
The water? Yeah.
Are we going fishing? You said you liked to fish.
I figured we'd cook some.
Oh! Sure.
It's just I'm not sure how I'll go fishing in these heels.
Oh, no worries.
Here you go.
Hop in.
Thanks.
[BOOT CLOSES.]
[DUCKS QUACK.]
You know, I've never done this before.
[LINE WHIRRS.]
Oh, you get the hang of it.
So, how's work? It's good.
I mean, you get a difficult one every now and then.
There's a schnauzer that I'd prefer to never see again.
[LAUGHS.]
I can relate.
Well, at least your patients don't wee all over the floor and growl and bite you.
I've had patients do all those things.
[LAUGHS.]
- [LINE WHIRRS.]
- Oooh! Oh, I think I got something.
OK, reel it in.
Reel it in.
I think it's stuck.
Oh, hang on a sec [LINE WHIRRS.]

- Ha-ha! - [LAUGHS.]
- Behold! - Dinner.

Will you Will you be sharing my fish? Oh, he's a little bit small.
Alright, give him a kiss, we'll throw him back.
I'm not kissing him.
No, it's tradition.
I'm I'm not gonna kiss it.
It's just a peck.
Close your eyes.
Here he comes.
Ready? Yeah Sorry, mate.
It's not your day today.
[SPLASH!.]
Now we don't have any dinner.
- [LINE WHIRRS.]
- No, no.
I'm working on it.
[LINE WHIRRS.]
Maybe we just leave it in there.
I'm not leaving it in there with my son.
What if it gets out? I'll move the box.
You chase him out with the broom.
How about I lift up the box and you chase him out? Maybe we should just leave him in the box.
He probably won't get out.
Oh! - Oh, Hugh, there's someone - Not now! WOMAN: [ON PHONE.]
Police, fire, ambulance? Uh, police, please.
Oh Oh, Hugh.
Harriet, what are you doing here? You put this baby into me, you can take it out.

Do you need a lift home? [MEDICAL EQUIPMENT BEEPS.]
Mia, happy anniversary! [BOTH LAUGH.]
I thought I'd never see you again! What are you talking about? I was kidnapped! But I'm free now and I'm a changed man and I'm really going to start living my life.
Hold on a minute.
Did no-one even notice I was missing? - Well, uh - I was gone for hours! I just thought you forgot our anniversary and went and bought a present.
I would never.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
What are you doing? If you won't induce this baby, I will.
I've been researching how to bring on labour.
You know, none of those have been actually proven to work.
It's too early.
Baby's not ready.
It's not ready or you're not ready? - Oh! Motherfuck - What? What? What? What is it? Oh Too much pineapple.
Indigestion.
Jesus, Harriet.
So, your family excited about the baby? [CLICKS MOUSE.]
Uh, yep.
I bet Meryl can't wait for another grandchild.
She can hardly contain herself.
[CLICKS MOUSE.]
So, you know how I went out last night? This is not very interesting to me, but good for you.
- Tilly's dad.
- What? This is hard to judge.
Will we hang out? I suppose so.
But will she see me as a brother-figure? I think you're overcomplicating it.
As it happens, it's her birthday today and we've both been invited over for cake.
- Really? - Yep.
So I thought I'd come back from work I have to get ready! [BIRDSONG.]
[WHISPERS.]
Jesus Christ.
[SIGHS.]
[GENTLE MUSIC.]
Don't do it [SIGHS.]
Oh Hmm.
It's going to be sad to leave the homestead.
Mmm.
[KISSES.]
I was born in this house, Hayley.
I'm not sure I can leave.
We're out of options.
Today's the day.
I still have one.
What is it? I need to drink a lot, but [KNOCK AT DOOR.]
[EXHALES.]
Hi, Meryl.
I know it's probably a tough day for you, losing the farm.
I saw this gift basket at the fete.
And now that I'm here, you probably don't want a gift basket.
I just felt for you, I suppose.
Glen I can just leave it here at the door and and go.
You might be exactly the person I want to see.
- Really? - Really.
You do Rod's books still, don't you? I do.
And you keep everything on paper? Well, I have a hunch the banking system's coming down, so Why? Glen, if I wanted to spend ten minutes alone in your office, what would you say? Ten minutes alone with me or? Just alone.
Of course.
I'm feeling a bit queasy at the ethics of this.
- Nine minutes.
- Just relax, Glen.
I'm not really a person who does relax.
I've got it.
The smoking gun.
Got him.
Thank you.
I'm Always uh - [DOOR OPENS.]
- here for you.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
You're here.
Decided to turn myself in.
I can't keep running.
Yes, well, things have a way of catching up with you.
I've got a cousin in Queensland.
Will you make sure he gets to her? Yeah.
We can do that.
Why didn't you call the police? I don't know.
I suppose I felt sorry for you.
Was that really it? Uh You're a good father.
I mean, you nearly let your son die from a snakebite but Apart from that Thanks.
Hey, I want it on the record that he came in voluntarily.
- He's turning himself in.
- Thanks.
[SIGHS.]
[SCREAMS.]
Oh, my God, Matt! - Oh! Oh, shit! - Oh! Oh, God! What have we got, Doc? I see you've got a small cut on your finger.
It's infected.
Oh [BEEP!.]
Temperature's OK.
- Are you experiencing any nausea? - No, I feel fine.
That's good.
It's a localised reaction, then.
I'll give you some antibiotics for the cut.
I am worried about the swelling.
I'm going to do my very best to salvage the ring, Matt.
Salvage? It needs to come off, I'm afraid.
It's blocking the blood supply.
[YELPS.]
God! Just Just hang on a sec.
Hang on a sec.
Charlie won't mind.
She'll just want your finger back at standard size.
- Yeah.
- I'm gonna wait outside.
Holler if you need me pal.
[YELPS.]
Jesus! [GROANS.]
Are we not still salvaging? - [GROANS.]
- It's just a precaution.
And out of interest, is this ring gold or titanium-based? Uh, it's titanium, I think.
I don't think our cutters will get through this.
Should I call for reinforcements? Mmm [YELPS.]
Oh, can I just Can I just have a minute? Just a minute.
[BANGS.]
Come on! Come on! Oh, God Argh Ah! Hey, Uncle Matt! - Uh, hi.
- It's been a while.
Hey! Oh, shit.
Sorry.
Oh Uh, just as a point of clarification - Shoot.
- is 'Uncle Matt' my fun, cute, new nickname or Is that Hugh's? - He didn't mention it? - No.
- To anyone? - I don't think so.
- Oh, dear.
- What, you haven't told them? Hugh, seriously? Well, there just hasn't been a good time.
In nine months? You said you wanted to be part of this.
I gave you a choice.
You didn't have to be.
- I do want to be part of this.
- Really? Because right now, I can't tell whether you're lying to me or you're lying to him, but you're lying to someone! - [THWACK!.]
- Oh Oh! You're just so fertile, aren't you? [SIGHS.]
[BIRDSONG, COWS MOO.]
I have good news.
I think I can destroy this deal.
What? No.
Mum Have to.
I cannot leave this farm.
I grew up here, you grew up here, my mother grew up here.
It is our home.
What about the debt? We've carried it so far and I back us to carry it even further.
It's not gonna break us, it's gonna bend us.
I can't back out now.
But he can.
[LAUGHS.]
Yes, he's not gonna do that, Mum.
Well, the alternative choice is that I stay in the homestead and Rod comes over once a week to demand his property rights.
And I will give them.
- What? That's gross - I cannot leave this farm.
- So you're blackmailing me? - Of course.
Why did it take you so long to realise that? [SIGHS.]
God.
You know what, I'm starting to think there is no escape in my life from anything.
Great.
Great.
[DIALS NUMBER.]
What are you doing? I think it's called sexting.
Oh, my God.
[MOBILE PHONE TRILLS.]
[LAUGHS.]
You are a genius, Rod.
A fricken genius.
[TOOL WHINES.]
[GROANS.]
[GROANS.]
Are you OK there? Yeah.
I'm good.
[SIGHS.]
So, Tilly Yeah, Floyd? do you, um Do you like Can you make, um - What? - What's your Nothing.
[SIGHS.]
I sort of thought that there'd be other people here.
No.

But also Hey.
I always could make an entrance.
