00:00:00There's Doctor.
00:00:02Get over it, dipshit.
00:00:08Doctor Cartwright, Doctor Knight.
00:00:10Let me introduce Tara Cordare, our new GP registrar.
00:00:13Very pleased to meet you both.
00:00:15Ken's been bringing Tara up to speed on his breakup with Mia.
00:00:19So ironic, don't you think Tara?
00:00:21Mia, M-I-A, missing in action,
00:00:23which is where my heart has been since the long white cloud called Mia home to New Zealand.
00:00:27Time's a great healer, Ken.
00:00:28Time's a great healer, Ken.
00:00:29We all regroup and move on.
00:00:32Doctor Knight, I believe we met earlier.
00:00:35Oh, God.
00:00:37Ah.
00:00:39And I've been so looking forward to meeting you.
00:00:41I've heard so many amazing stories about you.
00:00:46They're hilarious.
00:00:47Well, some of them.
00:00:49It's laughter all day long here.
00:00:51We all go home with a stitch.
00:00:59Enter.
00:01:06Ah, now I know why.
00:01:08Toxicology is your sub-specialty.
00:01:10Care to join me?
00:01:11I think that might reflect poorly on my duties as your supervisor.
00:01:15I've heard all the stories, Hugh.
00:01:17Oh.
00:01:18They also reflect poorly on your test results.
00:01:21Oh, come on.
00:01:22I'll be squeaky clean by the time the next test rolls around in a month.
00:01:25I'll be squeaky clean by the time the next test rolls around in a month.
00:01:28Well, blood and urine, sure, but I was thinking more hair analysis.
00:01:32Where traces can last up to six months.
00:01:41Truth now, is this really and truly what you want to be doing?
00:01:47Testing your urine?
00:01:48Absolutely not.
00:01:51Oh, God.
00:01:52God.
00:01:54Come on.
00:01:55We're both doing time here, can't we at least try and make a little fun?
00:02:11Has anyone seen Hugh?
00:02:14Can we please see the cape?
00:02:17Uh, that, um, that thing that didn't happen last night can never happen again.
00:02:24Nothing did happen.
00:02:26The clinic, everything that Penny and I have been working towards the last three years,
00:02:30becomes an actual physical reality tomorrow.
00:02:32Mm, when you get your pay out.
00:02:34I have a duty to ensure the integrity of the clinic remains unsullied by any...
00:02:39G'day, lover boy.
00:02:41Kimberley.
00:02:42Uh, this is Tara, uh, the new GP, Kimberley's pharmaceutical rep.
00:02:48Mm-hmm.
00:02:49Are you staying overnight in town?
00:02:52Yeah.
00:02:53Good.
00:02:54We could, um, meet.
00:02:56Do you think I've forgotten that you bailed on me last time?
00:02:59One drink and you scurried off to your kid.
00:03:06Hugh, look who I found.
00:03:08Ah.
00:03:09We were so certain you'd pike, we started already.
00:03:13I hear tomorrow's your big day.
00:03:15All right, all right.
00:03:16Let's just put this fallacy to bed right here, right now, okay?
00:03:21Tequila, three, thank you.
00:03:23I'm not a piker.
00:03:28Salute.
00:03:33Oh God, that's awful.
00:03:35Again, to the buyers.
00:03:38Prost.
00:03:39Prost.
00:03:42Again.
00:03:43Okay.
00:03:46Mm.
00:03:47Mm-hmm.
00:03:48So, um, do we need anything else to take the edge off?
00:04:03Um...
00:04:07Mm-hmm.
00:04:14Uh-oh.
00:04:15Oh my God.
00:04:38Uh!
00:04:39Uh!
00:04:40Uh-oh!
00:04:44Was that it?
00:04:45Yep.
00:04:46We cleared them.
00:04:47God, we're impressive.
00:04:48So that was my 15 to your...?
00:04:5114.
00:04:52Winning.
00:04:53Working in my home, still winning.
00:05:00So, how are you enjoying country life so far?
00:05:04It is so boring.
00:05:06Hmm. After a while you just go numb.
00:05:09I, uh, I did have an idea to spice things up.
00:05:22Wow. Really?
00:05:25Are you serious?
00:05:26Well, I don't know, am I?
00:05:29God, I hope so.
00:05:30Yes, you do.
00:05:32Oh dear. I'm Dr. Coderre, if you'd like to come this way.
00:05:37Oh, so close.
00:05:39Oh, and, um, that's 15. We're even.
00:05:44Have you got any?
00:05:45Any?
00:05:46Any tats?
00:05:47I can't remember.
00:05:49We could check later.
00:05:53You do realise what an arsehole move this is, right?
00:05:56My first night running this place and you bring in your homeless ex and your dealer.
00:06:00Please. Charlie is an accomplished author and Robbo is an aspiring miner and an all-round dark horse.
00:06:07And if you weren't up for the job, then you shouldn't have taken it.
00:06:11Wow.
00:06:13I think getting married really scrambled your eggs, didn't it?
00:06:18No.
00:06:21At least your dealer's hot.
00:06:23Whoa, whoa, whoa. This is the D floor now, mate.
00:06:27You have very lovely hands there. Very elegant.
00:06:31Thank you, Robbo. Yours look like you slammed them indoors for a living.
00:06:34I do.
00:06:38Tara might be cutting your grass there.
00:06:40I feel like Robbo's cutting yours.
00:06:43What? There's nothing going on between me and Tara.
00:06:46She may have thrown herself at me a few times, but...
00:06:49Right. Then somehow you ruined things.
00:06:53What are you basing that on?
00:06:54Every relationship you've ever had.
00:06:57I only ruin the good ones.
00:06:59Cheers to that.
00:07:02That doesn't have barbeque sauce.
00:07:04It has this sweet and sour pork thing and it's...
00:07:06Right.
00:07:07Whoa!
00:07:08Oh!
00:07:09Oh!
00:07:10Oh!
00:07:11Oh!
00:07:12Oh!
00:07:13Oh!
00:07:14Oh!
00:07:15Oh!
00:07:16Oh!
00:07:18When in Rome...
00:07:19Oh!
00:07:20Oh, look how rude this here!
00:07:24Oh!
00:07:28Oh, shit.
00:07:30Oh, somebody left the keys in it!
00:07:32This is to buy, thanks, driver.
00:07:34Oh!
00:07:35Rubber!
00:07:36That was rubber!
00:07:38Rubber!
00:07:39Rubber!
00:07:40Rubber!
00:07:41Ah!
00:07:46Oh!
00:07:47Oh!
00:07:48Oh!
00:07:49Oh!
00:07:50Oh!
00:07:51Oh!
00:07:52Oh!
00:07:53Yeah!
00:07:54Woo!
00:07:55Woo!
00:07:56Whoa!
00:07:57Yes!
00:07:58I did it!
00:07:59I broke it!
00:08:00Shit, give me a hand!
00:08:01I broke it!
00:08:02I broke it!
00:08:03You all right, mate?
00:08:04Oh, shit!
00:08:05Oh, shit!
00:08:06Joel, run!
00:08:07All right, mate, get your ass up!
00:08:08Fake the results. Use someone else's sample.
00:08:10What?
00:08:11Are you still seeing that psych?
00:08:12Yeah, even though she's got more issues than I do.
00:08:15Well, it's something, I guess.
00:08:17My anxiety is down, my performance is up,
00:08:20and I find it infinitely cute that you seem to care about me.
00:08:23Well, you're a good...
00:08:25Brilliant.
00:08:26..doctor.
00:08:28I'd hate to see that go to waste.
00:08:30Let's make sure I don't get fired, then.
00:08:35All right, I'll help you, just this once.
00:08:38You also helped me finish the bag last night, so...
00:08:45Oh, yeah.
00:08:47You're in the clear. We got away with it.
00:08:49Oh!
00:08:54I almost feel guilty.
00:08:59Then again, I don't.
00:09:04What are you doing?
00:09:07Um...
00:09:09Yeah.
00:09:12Ken.
00:09:14I can't believe I didn't see this coming.
00:09:19I won't say I'm surprised.
00:09:21Can we do this without the audience?
00:09:24Do I have to?
00:09:25Yes.
00:09:31It was nothing.
00:09:33No, we don't even know what it is.
00:09:36And do you know if it's happened before?
00:09:42No. No. Never. No.
00:09:44No intimacy.
00:09:47Except maybe in his dreams.
00:09:51I'm not... I'm not helping.
00:09:56And do you know if it could happen again?
00:10:02Not at work.
00:10:05There are no specific rules about relationships in the hospital,
00:10:08but seeing as you're Tara's supervisor, it's not ideal.
00:10:13No, I should probably step down, then.
00:10:16If that's your preference.
00:10:22It is.
00:10:26You should have just told her that it was a mistake,
00:10:28never to happen again.
00:10:30That would be so sad for you.
00:10:33You.
00:10:34What?
00:10:35I'm having fun. You're having fun.
00:10:37What happened to you've been partying too hard, Tara?
00:10:40Well, that's before I realised we could get away with it.
00:10:46I'm not the relationship type.
00:10:48Neither am I.
00:10:49And work comes first.
00:10:50Couldn't agree more.
00:10:51So.
00:10:52So.
00:10:54Come out with me tonight.
00:10:56I'm wing-manning Matt.
00:10:58That sounds like actual hell.
00:11:01Is that just me, or did Penny go easy on us?
00:11:04Probably because she still has filthy thoughts about you.
00:11:08Well, if we're not in a relationship,
00:11:11why do you care?
00:11:22I'm just getting my discharge papers.
00:11:26Oh, right.
00:11:28Right.
00:11:32I'll take a month or whatever time you need.
00:11:36Yeah.
00:11:37I just wanted to say thank you for coming to find me.
00:11:44Thanks.
00:11:48You're coming back?
00:11:53Hey. Hey.
00:11:54What is this?
00:11:56Don't listen to your parents.
00:11:58They're the problem.
00:11:59I don't think they are.
00:12:01Look, in six months time,
00:12:03you're going to have two kick-ass references from Penny and me.
00:12:06And you can do anything you want with your career.
00:12:08I'm out.
00:12:10I'm quitting.
00:12:11No, no, no.
00:12:12You're not thinking straight.
00:12:13Your parents, they're toxic.
00:12:15So are we.
00:12:21It's my fault.
00:12:26I should have just let you mentor me.
00:12:30What were we doing?
00:12:31What are you talking about?
00:12:32This.
00:12:34Us.
00:12:39I came to say goodbye.
00:12:40No, if you walk out that door now,
00:12:42you've broken your probation.
00:12:44You have pissed all those years up against the wall.
00:12:48I don't want to have to get off my face
00:12:50at the end of every shift
00:12:51just so I can cope with doing another one.
00:12:53You're not.
00:12:54Last night was a celebration.
00:12:56Yeah, well, if I keep celebrating with you, Hugh,
00:12:58I'm going to wind up dead.
00:13:00That is bullshit and you know it.
00:13:02So you and I,
00:13:06we were just working together.
00:13:09That's it.
00:13:11Well, obviously it was more than that.
00:13:13What?
00:13:16Just say it.
00:13:25Hey.
00:13:28Hey.
00:13:30It's all right.
00:13:38I really needed you last night.
00:13:43Don't.
00:13:46Tara.
00:13:55Tara.
00:14:12Thank you so much.
00:14:25I'm not sure
00:14:28how much more
00:14:32can I take.
00:14:37Hayley, go and help.
00:14:39They sent us the clumsy one.
00:14:40At least they didn't send us the smart one.
00:14:42I'll come.
00:14:43Oh, thank you.
00:14:44Um, Hayley, I'm here to pick you up.
00:14:46Oh, uh, Sharna.
00:14:50Nice to meet you.
00:14:51Hi, nice to meet you.
00:14:52Sharna, welcome to Why Hope.
00:14:55I'm Meryl Knight, Mayor of Why Hope,
00:14:56and this is Councillor Rod Eagle,
00:14:58and Hayley you've met,
00:14:59and this is Dr Hugh Knight,
00:15:01who's the Director-in-Chief of the Why Hope Hospital,
00:15:04as it happens, my son.
00:15:07Ha, welcome to Why Hope.
00:15:09Uh, hi.
00:15:10Uh, thank you for meeting me.
00:15:13Uh, let's get your bags.
00:15:14Okay, great.
00:15:16Yes, thank you.
00:15:17I'm so sorry, the hospital.
00:15:19That must have been so distressing.
00:15:21Well, I have to admit,
00:15:22God was in a particularly shitty mood that day.
00:15:24Oh, and you're still reeling from it, aren't you, darling?
00:15:27Well, I am so pleased to be here.
00:15:30Oh, and we're happy to have you here.
00:15:32You're just like a little angel sent down from the sky.
00:15:35That's some Why Hope honey, wine, and gift vouchers.
00:15:38Oh, lovely.
00:15:42Hayley, let Hugh drive.
00:15:51Must be battlers in the country.
00:15:53It's as if someone has just reached in
00:15:55and torn the heart out of our town.
00:15:57Well, I won't be going anywhere until Why Hope's back on its feet.
00:16:02We'll make a start in the morning?
00:16:04Yes, they're desperate to meet you.
00:16:07Contact the concerned parties,
00:16:09and they're going to meet us at the council chambers at 9.30.
00:16:12Excellent.
00:16:17Shana, I should warn you,
00:16:18I think we're going to be good friends.
00:16:21There's an invitation for you
00:16:22to come and stay at the homestead any time.
00:16:24Oh, that's very kind,
00:16:26but I don't think my boss would approve.
00:16:30Well, dinner then.
00:16:34Hugh, why don't you take Shana for dinner tonight
00:16:37at that lovely little Japanese restaurant?
00:16:40I don't know how they've survived.
00:16:45Sounds good.
00:16:52Now I know what it feels like to be pimped out by my own mother.
00:16:56Shana holds the purse strings and gives us hope,
00:16:59and you know the drill, it's just charm, charm, charm.
00:17:02And whatever else that you do that make women fall for you,
00:17:05not that I understand what that is.
00:17:08Hayley, wake up.
00:17:15So what is someone like Hugh doing in a place like this?
00:17:18You know, I was going to ask you exactly the same thing.
00:17:21I'm not planning on putting down roots,
00:17:23but you've been here a while.
00:17:27Well, I was running the hospital.
00:17:30It's kind of what a hospital director does.
00:17:32So I guess it does fall to me to clean up this whole mess.
00:17:37Initially, anyway.
00:17:38A shitload of mess, actually.
00:17:41Yes, well, you know,
00:17:43it does always get darker before it turns completely pitch black.
00:17:47Completely pitch black?
00:17:49Anyway, that's my plight.
00:17:51What about you?
00:17:54Well, if I make a success of this,
00:17:57it's a stepping stone to bigger things.
00:17:59Ah, you have ambitions.
00:18:03Politics?
00:18:08Well, if diplomacy is your strength,
00:18:10you will need that here, believe me.
00:18:13I can hold my own.
00:18:17I have no doubt.
00:18:20Perhaps I should come and see this magic for myself.
00:18:23Tomorrow, at council.
00:18:25Yeah, maybe.
00:18:30Hugh.
00:18:33Shanna.
00:18:34Very nice to see you again.
00:18:35Well, it's nice to see you too.
00:18:37Though it would be nicer if you hadn't arrested my mother.
00:18:40I didn't arrest her, the police did.
00:18:42I just presented the evidence I'd found.
00:18:45I hope that's not going to get in the way of us.
00:18:49Us?
00:18:50Our working relationship.
00:18:52No, no, of course.
00:18:53Excellent.
00:18:54We could go for coffee, touch base, work-wise.
00:18:59Do you have time?
00:19:00Yeah, I could take you now.
00:19:02Sure, but buy me dinner first.
00:19:09Are you aware that charges against your mother
00:19:11are being brought by the Public Services Commission?
00:19:13Of course I am.
00:19:15Are they?
00:19:16Which means I can't help her.
00:19:18I mean, there's got to be something you can do.
00:19:20Like what?
00:19:21I don't know, attest to a good character?
00:19:24Okay.
00:19:25Maybe destroy any incriminating evidence?
00:19:28Okay, I'm going to assume you're only saying that
00:19:30because you're overstretched and overworked.
00:19:32You look exhausted.
00:19:33Gee, thanks.
00:19:35Perhaps that's because I'm a 24-hour call,
00:19:37because we can't find a locum.
00:19:38That sounds sustainable.
00:19:40Yes.
00:19:41Well, if you eased up on my mum for five minutes
00:19:43and found the time to throw some money to the clinic,
00:19:45perhaps we could lure another doctor into town.
00:19:48I do want to help you.
00:19:50Oh, oh, you want to help us?
00:19:52You don't want to shut us down?
00:19:54Well, I've assessed, and if the clinic goes, the town goes.
00:19:57Which means right now,
00:19:58you're the only one who's keeping my hope alive.
00:20:02Oh, please don't tell me that.
00:20:04Despite the fact that you nearly fell asleep a couple of times,
00:20:07I quite enjoyed that, Dr Knight.
00:20:09Yes, well, I wish it was the first time a woman had told me that.
00:20:12Hmm. We should do this again sometime.
00:20:14Yeah, I'd like that.
00:20:18You know, whatever happens with your mother,
00:20:20it's a consequence of the decision she made over many years.
00:20:24My job is to clean up the mess,
00:20:26and I'm someone who will do whatever it takes.
00:20:29Like you.
00:20:38What are you doing here?
00:20:39I brought you some food,
00:20:41just because I know how hard you're working.
00:20:44Oh, that is very thoughtful.
00:20:47I brought this too, chilled,
00:20:50just in case you were up for it, but, um, let's arrange it.
00:20:53No, I mean, I'm, I am starving.
00:20:56I thought you might be.
00:21:01It does look like there is enough here for two.
00:21:05Hmm. Just in case.
00:21:13I moved around a lot.
00:21:15Nowhere special.
00:21:16Hmm.
00:21:18So lucky.
00:21:19Mm, I do envy people like you,
00:21:22who have roots in places, something solid.
00:21:26It's called a ball and chain.
00:21:27You can leave.
00:21:29Yeah, but I have a duty of care.
00:21:32To the town, as a doctor.
00:21:34You don't strike me as someone who does things they don't want to do.
00:21:37Well, I mean, I don't know.
00:21:40I think I'm a bit tired for self-analysis at the moment.
00:21:44Well, I'll say it again.
00:21:47My hope's lucky to have you.
00:21:49Can you please stop saying that?
00:21:51Okay, then.
00:21:53You're fed.
00:21:55Now get some sleep.
00:22:00Okay.
00:22:03Big move.
00:22:05You look like you needed it.
00:22:10To be continued.
00:22:17Well, howdy, Calamity Jane.
00:22:19Yee-haw.
00:22:22Yee-haw, indeed.
00:22:24I'm a bit tired.
00:22:26I'm a bit tired.
00:22:27Yee-haw, indeed.
00:22:29Okay, come in.
00:22:31Work?
00:22:34Boring.
00:22:35Fun?
00:22:36Better.
00:22:37You do understand that this work is to save you.
00:22:39I'm doing this for you.
00:22:41Come out.
00:22:42You deserve some time off.
00:22:44Let's give those CWA ladies something to really talk about.
00:22:46I can't. I'm just swamped.
00:22:48You do know they haven't warmed to you.
00:22:50The locals.
00:22:52Yes, thank you.
00:22:53Well, come out.
00:22:54Prove them you don't have horns and a tail.
00:22:56Or do you?
00:23:00Do I have to boot-scoot?
00:23:03Please don't.
00:23:04Oh, I'm just getting started.
00:23:06Just need some air.
00:23:09Yeah, well, air is good.
00:23:13I just had a crazy narcissistic thought in there.
00:23:16Yeah, I never have those.
00:23:19I thought no one would ever make a speech about me.
00:23:23Oh, come on.
00:23:25I don't believe that for a second.
00:23:28It's true, actually.
00:23:31I mean, I have my brother, but we don't really...
00:23:35Anyway.
00:23:36Yeah.
00:23:37No, I get it.
00:23:39It's family.
00:23:40It's...
00:23:42complicated.
00:23:44I know.
00:23:45You and Penny work so well together.
00:23:48Yeah, well,
00:23:50they're friends, colleagues,
00:23:52aspiring partners.
00:23:55Advance?
00:24:16Oh.
00:24:27Sleeping with the enemy.
00:24:30Uh, yes.
00:24:31It looks that way.
00:24:32What would your mother say?
00:24:35Can we just leave her out of this?
00:24:40I want to tell you something,
00:24:41and I'm not sure how you're going to take it.
00:24:43Well, we're both naked, so you have a head start.
00:24:46I was going to say.
00:24:48Now, let me guess.
00:24:50You decorated the room by yourself?
00:24:55I mean, it's fine if that's who you are.
00:24:57Um, uh-uh.
00:24:58No.
00:25:00This thing that we're doing,
00:25:04I like it.
00:25:06Oh.
00:25:07As do I.
00:25:08But professionally, it's tricky.
00:25:11My work directly affects your work,
00:25:13and we need to keep them separate.
00:25:16So you want to stop this thing?
00:25:18No.
00:25:21We're continuing this thing.
00:25:23We are.
00:25:25I'm confused.
00:25:26I just think we should keep it private for now.
00:25:30Especially when we're in public.
00:25:32Put them in separate boxes.
00:25:34Compartmentalise.
00:25:36Exactly.
00:25:37Mm.
00:25:39For instance, in the meeting today,
00:25:42when you tell us you're allocating funds
00:25:44so we can reopen the clinic properly.
00:25:46Excellent example.
00:25:50You don't want to elaborate?
00:25:53No.
00:25:55But I wouldn't worry.
00:25:58I like that little clinic of yours.
00:26:01Huh.
00:26:02It's not that...
00:26:05Can I start by saying
00:26:08thank you for all of this,
00:26:10and
00:26:12I am incredibly sorry.
00:26:15It's OK.
00:26:19You'll be getting on that plane with Floyd tomorrow, won't you?
00:26:24I'll be there.
00:26:27I'll be there.
00:26:28You'll be getting on that plane with Floyd tomorrow, won't you?
00:26:32Uh...
00:26:34Yeah.
00:26:36Guess you can't take the boy out of Waiho.
00:26:40Charlotte, I'm going to drop Floyd off to Penny,
00:26:44and then I'll be doing whatever it takes to make it up to you.
00:26:48Really?
00:26:50Really.
00:26:58Uh, thanks so much for this.
00:27:00It's not a problem.
00:27:01Hey.
00:27:02Hey.
00:27:03Um, what happened to you two?
00:27:05Oh, nothing. There was a thing with a hot air balloon.
00:27:08A hot air balloon?
00:27:09Had to make an emergency landing.
00:27:11There were some injuries.
00:27:13Doesn't sound like nothing.
00:27:14Ha!
00:27:19That's good news about Hugh's job.
00:27:21Well deserved.
00:27:22Yeah.
00:27:24Uh, shall we?
00:27:25Yeah.
00:27:27Oh, no, Sharna, you sit in the front.
00:27:29No, no, I'm good.
00:27:30No, please, get in the front.
00:27:32Okay.
00:27:45You all good?
00:27:46Yeah.
00:27:48Um, say if you could secure something like the floriade,
00:27:57that would be a positive benefit for the whole town.
00:28:00Mm-hm.
00:28:01Um, but say you're expected to oil the wheels,
00:28:05you know, to nudge things along a little bit.
00:28:07Could there ever be any situation where that might be okay?
00:28:10No, that's the very thing I was sent here to stamp out.
00:28:13Mm.
00:28:14Yeah.
00:28:15Why?
00:28:16Oh, just theorising.
00:28:18Uh-huh.
00:28:21Hey, can I ask you something, woman to woman?
00:28:25Yes.
00:28:26So Hugh has obviously had, you know, a colourful past, dating-wise.
00:28:31You mean when Hugh and I were together?
00:28:33That was years ago.
00:28:34I didn't know you and Hugh were together.
00:28:36Oh, sorry.
00:28:38Um, do you mean Hugh and Penny?
00:28:41Is there any woman in my hope he hasn't slept with?
00:28:44I would not go digging around in that little cabbage patch if I were you.
00:28:48Hugh and Penny, um, they had an on-again, off-again thing for years.
00:28:53And years.
00:28:55Yeah, and then it all finished up when she got married and left town, so.
00:28:59And then she came back.
00:29:01She did.
00:29:06Anyway, um, I need to go fix that thing in reception,
00:29:12so.
00:29:20Now that Hugh's leaving, I guess you'll be applying to get your old job back.
00:29:24Oh, haven't really thought that far ahead.
00:29:27You're in the box seat.
00:29:29My future is an open book.
00:29:32Because of your marriage break-up?
00:29:35Yes.
00:29:37Anyway, Sydney's going to be an adventure.
00:29:41Hugh's always wanted the world.
00:29:43I'm really pleased for both of you.
00:29:46Are you?
00:29:48Are we really doing the cliché where the only thing two women can find to talk about is a man?
00:29:54I didn't know that's what we were doing.
00:29:57It's just odd.
00:29:59If you really were pleased for us, you wouldn't have falsified the KPI stats.
00:30:05You know, to keep Hugh in my hook.
00:30:08That was an honest mistake.
00:30:10It wasn't a deliberate one.
00:30:13Look, whatever you've heard or whatever you might choose to think,
00:30:18I wish you and Hugh only the very best for your future happiness in Sydney.
00:30:22Honestly.
00:30:25All good?
00:30:27Yeah, just, um, girl talk.
00:30:34Bye.
00:30:45I'll see you in a bit.
00:30:46Can we talk?
00:30:48I've just got to clean out my desk and say a few words to the team.
00:30:53Hugh, this is everything you ever wanted.
00:30:58Validation, respect, recognition.
00:31:02Absolutely.
00:31:04I'll see you in a bit.
00:31:10But I had the feeling today that there was still something between you and Benny.
00:31:15No, there's not.
00:31:17She clearly means a lot to you.
00:31:20Look, we've been a good team. That's it.
00:31:23We've been living out of each other's pockets for a very long time.
00:31:27Sure.
00:31:29Shana, I want a life with you.
00:31:30Are you certain about that?
00:31:31Yes.
00:31:33I'm sorry. I wish my life was less complicated, but it's not.
00:31:40Do you want to come to Sydney because it means we'll be together
00:31:43or just because you want to be a superstar surgeon in the big city?
00:31:46Oh, come on.
00:31:48I'm going to Sydney today.
00:31:50And when you decide what you want, come and find me.
00:31:53Or not.
00:31:55Shana? Shana!
00:31:58Hey, hey, stop. Will you stop, please?
00:32:02This is exactly what I want.
00:32:07If you're going to Sydney today, then I'm coming too.
00:32:19Here we go. Here we go. Here we go.
00:32:23Ta-da!
00:32:46Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life.
00:32:49Welcome to yours.
00:33:05So you knew about the asbestos at the hospital?
00:33:08Because it might have been nice to, I don't know, get a little heads up on that one.
00:33:12Yes, there was supposed to be inspections.
00:33:14Yes, I put it off. I made a mistake.
00:33:16No, actually, it wasn't a mistake. It was a choice.
00:33:20A choice? What a choice that turned out to be.
00:33:23I weighed up the options, decided what the priorities needed to be.
00:33:27And the cost does. Is it?
00:33:28So having consigned Y-Hope to the rubbish tip of history,
00:33:31do you really think it's ethical to come and work for this mob?
00:33:34Don't question my ethics.
00:33:35No, I'm just curious.
00:33:36Was it Jared's idea to run Y-Hope into the ground for you to jump ship to the opposition?
00:33:40It has nothing to do with Jared. The marriage is finished. It's over.
00:33:43Well, we all saw that coming, didn't we?
00:33:51Just so you know, I am not abandoning Y-Hope.
00:33:55It may be on its knees, but some of us, some of us still have our integrity.
00:34:01Integrity? Where did you find that?
00:34:08I'm not saying the filing system is wrong, just outdated.
00:34:12At Stanwell, we had a more efficient approach to patients.
00:34:16Numbers, not names.
00:34:18Coming in here with your vision and dare to dream ideology, it's like you never left.
00:34:22But she did leave for quite some time.
00:34:26Welcome back.
00:34:27Thank you. It's great to be back.
00:34:29Oh, sorry. Shana, this is Penny Cartwright. She's our new locum.
00:34:32Penny, this is Shana Bart. She's here to fix up the whole mess with the...
00:34:36Yes, of course. It's lovely to meet you.
00:34:39Hugh tells me you're getting us back on our feet.
00:34:41Yes, along with getting my mother sacked, arrested and charged.
00:34:45And not without considered and just cause.
00:34:47It's great to meet you, Penny.
00:34:50So, um, what's going on here?
00:34:53Penny has implemented a brilliant new filing system.
00:34:56Oh, that is so great. Now change it all back.
00:35:01Oh, OK. You're the boss.
00:35:03Sure am.
00:35:04Now, not before.
00:35:06Hello, New World Order.
00:35:08Hello, indeed.
00:35:11Distal non-displaced radius fracture.
00:35:17Can I see?
00:35:20Is it tender there?
00:35:24Might also have a scaphoid fracture.
00:35:26Might not.
00:35:27He needs a CT scan.
00:35:28Which we don't have, and you know it.
00:35:30Let's prep him for plaster, shall we?
00:35:32He needs to go to Stanwell.
00:35:34If it is a scaphoid and we don't treat it...
00:35:36Abascular necrosis, yes. I know.
00:35:38If he's still in pain in a week, he can get one then.
00:35:40If the fracture's unstable, Hugh, it needs to be scanned.
00:35:42In a week is fine. Thank you, Doctor.
00:35:44Fine.
00:35:45Excuse me, Gary. Sorry.
00:35:47Can we do this outside, please?
00:35:53OK, so, back in Nepal, when I was a camp counsellor,
00:35:57in the late 90s, we helped troubled youths
00:36:00with this thing called active listening.
00:36:03So it teaches people in conflict to really hear each other.
00:36:08Ready?
00:36:11So, Hugh, I want you to tell Penny your grievances,
00:36:13and Penny, I want you to say it back
00:36:15to show that you truly understand.
00:36:17God, this is time-wasting.
00:36:18Hugh thinks this is time-wasting.
00:36:20What are you, 12? There are patients waiting.
00:36:22Stop blocking, please.
00:36:24Your resentment's trying to tell you something.
00:36:26So just start with something small.
00:36:29Fine.
00:36:34I don't like it when Penny slurps her tea.
00:36:40I don't slurp.
00:36:41Oh, there's slurping. Lots of slurping.
00:36:43Well, I don't like it when Hugh sings the wrong lyrics with confidence.
00:36:46I never do that, ever.
00:36:47Google Bohemian Rhapsody. No moose. None.
00:36:51OK, this is good. This is honesty.
00:36:54Yeah, not really her forte, is it?
00:36:55Oh, really?
00:36:57Well, secretly working for a rival hospital,
00:36:59secretly back in town, secretly married.
00:37:01There it is.
00:37:02OK, listening ears.
00:37:04My private life is just that.
00:37:06Until it affects the hospital, which it has.
00:37:08Are you feeling abandoned? Is that what this is?
00:37:10No. No.
00:37:11Functioning quite well without you.
00:37:13Better, in fact.
00:37:14You know what? I could fire you.
00:37:16I could fire you right now.
00:37:18I could quit. Go back to Stanwell.
00:37:20Oh, please, go.
00:37:22Just stop mentioning it every five minutes.
00:37:24OK, that's it. That's enough.
00:37:27What a sad, sad day.
00:37:30If you two can't keep it together in there,
00:37:33we will lose the very few patients we have left.
00:37:37There is a woman who lost her life,
00:37:39who we are remembering tonight,
00:37:41and there is a community who needs you
00:37:43to be a driving force of unity and hope,
00:37:46because in case you hadn't noticed, no-one has any.
00:37:51I remember when you were both better people.
00:38:00Sharing an office.
00:38:02Weird.
00:38:04No room. What do you do?
00:38:07Mm. Starving.
00:38:10I had kickboxing this morning.
00:38:14Betty was way out of line, don't you think?
00:38:17Completely.
00:38:23What does that even mean?
00:38:25Better people.
00:38:27Better than who?
00:38:31No idea.
00:38:37We're just...
00:38:45Adjusting.
00:38:58Oh, my God! Brain freeze.
00:39:01Want some?
00:39:03Penny!
00:39:05Penny! Really?
00:39:07Come on!
00:39:08It was an accident.
00:39:09Oh, really? Maybe...
00:39:10Here's an idea.
00:39:11Don't make milkshakes in my office.
00:39:14It's our office, it's a smoothie,
00:39:16and I need to increase my iron.
00:39:19You know who's better?
00:39:20Me. At least I'm trying to.
00:39:22Well, here's a thought.
00:39:23Stop trying. That's your problem.
00:39:26You're my problem, Hugh.
00:39:35Fifteen-year-old single malt.
00:39:37500 bucks worth, no less.
00:39:38Little thank you gift from Jack Gregory
00:39:40for excising his cyst.
00:39:41The only thing a patient's ever given me
00:39:43was a knitted hat.
00:39:45And head lice.
00:39:46Lovely.
00:39:48Oh.
00:39:49Need to take an early lunch, by the way.
00:39:51How early?
00:39:5210am.
00:39:53Mum's trial.
00:39:57Big night, Ken.
00:40:00Shana's deadline is tomorrow.
00:40:02Yes, I know.
00:40:03That's why I brought this in,
00:40:04to celebrate once we meet patient quota.
00:40:06We are nowhere near.
00:40:08How many patients short?
00:40:0930? 40?
00:40:10110.
00:40:11110?
00:40:13What happens if we don't make it by tomorrow?
00:40:15Then we don't get the funding.
00:40:16No funding means no equipment, no supplies.
00:40:19We could even lose more staff.
00:40:21Or worse.
00:40:22We could get shut down.
00:40:23Okay, okay.
00:40:24Don't panic.
00:40:25We can do 100 patients by tomorrow.
00:40:32Right?
00:40:33We're going to be cracking that open today.
00:40:35We still need to see, what, 80 patients?
00:40:38Penny, where is your optimism?
00:40:39All we need is a nine-car pile-up
00:40:41and a bout of chicken pox.
00:40:43Or a lovely bout of gastro.
00:40:45Oh, that'd be nice.
00:40:48Whoa.
00:40:50Ah, Ken!
00:40:52What's all this?
00:40:53They're all from the Farmers Association,
00:40:55here for a check-up.
00:40:56I called in a favour with my buddy Gordon.
00:40:58Hey, Gordon!
00:40:59Still on for book club later on?
00:41:01Oh, yes.
00:41:02That is pure genius.
00:41:04Yes.
00:41:05One small thing.
00:41:06I may have promised him something in return.
00:41:08Sure.
00:41:10No.
00:41:11Oh.
00:41:12Come on.
00:41:15Hugh, you realise this only counts
00:41:17if we actually see all these people
00:41:19by the close of business?
00:41:21So, any allergies?
00:41:23You know those miniature carrots?
00:41:25Them.
00:41:27That's quite common.
00:41:29Do you smoke?
00:41:30Oh, yeah.
00:41:31A pack a day.
00:41:32Is that bad?
00:41:33Wouldn't have thought so.
00:41:36Are you getting enough...
00:41:37No.
00:41:38...sleep?
00:41:40Yes.
00:41:45So, how did the DNA test go?
00:41:48Well, at the end of the day,
00:41:49I didn't need to look.
00:41:51Deep down, I've always known the truth.
00:41:53We may have been nothing alike,
00:41:54but Jim was my father.
00:41:57You checked the results, didn't you?
00:41:59Of course.
00:42:00Negative.
00:42:01I knew it.
00:42:04Are you really going to leave town?
00:42:06If we hit the quota?
00:42:08I promised Mum that I'd stick around
00:42:09until the hospital was sorted, so...
00:42:12Yeah.
00:42:14I guess I am.
00:42:16Are you going to miss us?
00:42:19Did you?
00:42:21I came back, didn't I?
00:42:256pm, close of business.
00:42:26Everyone come to present
00:42:27your patient files for counting.
00:42:31Shall we?
00:42:32I'll be right there.
00:42:47You seem to be the most charming boyfriend ever
00:42:49at our drinks this evening.
00:42:51Oh, yes, ready to be the perfect handbag.
00:42:53Not handbag.
00:42:54I've invited some people
00:42:55who could really further your career.
00:42:58Hey, it doesn't hurt to schmooze a little.
00:43:01Yes, not really my thing.
00:43:03I find that hard to believe.
00:43:05Do you?
00:43:08You!
00:43:12Floyd?
00:43:13Who's this?
00:43:15Uh, Penny's son.
00:43:18Listen, I've...
00:43:20I've run away from boarding school.
00:43:23You hide me?
00:43:25No.
00:43:33Floyd.
00:43:34Floyd.
00:43:36Oh.
00:43:38Do you know how angry I am?
00:43:40Is that supposed to be a rhetorical question?
00:43:43Why did you leave the school camp?
00:43:45They had searchers out for you.
00:43:48We thought you were lost in the bush.
00:43:52And why did you go to Hugh first?
00:43:54Well, I bumped into him in the park,
00:43:57but I was actually just heading to his place regardless.
00:44:00Floyd?
00:44:01You are a very naughty boy.
00:44:03Thanks, Ken.
00:44:04I've covered that.
00:44:05Who's the kid?
00:44:06Penny's son.
00:44:07Thanks for bringing him.
00:44:08He's a dark horse.
00:44:09You don't know the half of it.
00:44:11I hope it hasn't messed up your prep for Sydney.
00:44:14What?
00:44:15What prep for Sydney?
00:44:17Hugh's leading us.
00:44:19What?
00:44:20But I came back to see you.
00:44:22I thought you came back to see me.
00:44:24Look, I'm just going for the weekend.
00:44:26To start.
00:44:27But then he's leaving forever.
00:44:30Right?
00:44:42What?
00:44:45Okay.
00:44:46Okay.
00:44:47How was the flight?
00:44:49We nearly died.
00:44:50What?
00:44:51There was turbulence.
00:44:52It was rough.
00:44:54Hugh, he admitted that you're his The One.
00:44:57Floyd!
00:44:58What?
00:45:01There was some bad turbulence.
00:45:04Some very, very bad turbulence.
00:45:08I was just reassuring him.
00:45:09Okay.
00:45:12I'm confused.
00:45:13Yeah, so was I up there.
00:45:17Now all of a sudden things are very clear.
00:45:22What?
00:45:25Penny, they're offering me a job in Sydney.
00:45:28Heading up the Cardiothoracic Centre of Excellence.
00:45:35I'm going to take it.
00:45:47So I've spoken to the school
00:45:49and Floyd won't be coming back for the time being.
00:45:51If ever.
00:45:53So I've had to bring him into work.
00:45:56Because let's face it, he's absconded twice in two days
00:45:59and I really don't know if I can trust him anymore.
00:46:01Of course you can. He's a good kid.
00:46:03And you two have got this whole secret boy buddy palsy
00:46:07wowsy thing going on.
00:46:09You always have done.
00:46:10And I insist on knowing what's been going on at Floyd's school
00:46:13that's led to all of this.
00:46:16What have the two of you been cooking up to keep me in the dark?
00:46:18I want to know.
00:46:19I don't know if we've been cooking up anything, have we?
00:46:23You're leaving anyway.
00:46:24That hasn't been decided yet.
00:46:26Well, yes, it has.
00:46:28But look, if Floyd did happen to tell me anything at all
00:46:32I may feel obliged to keep his confidences.
00:46:35I'm his mother.
00:46:37There's no such thing as confidences.
00:46:40Hot air balloons come down at Runley Creek.
00:46:42Multiple casualties.
00:46:43They hit a power line.
00:46:44Emergency bag.
00:46:45Floyd, stay where you are.
00:46:47Ken, keep an eye on him.
00:46:50What did you say to him on the plane?
00:46:53Now he thinks I'm your one.
00:46:55Look, if anything was said
00:46:58it's because we were seconds away from death in a plane crash.
00:47:00I was trying to comfort your son.
00:47:08I comfort my son.
00:47:12He sent a dick pic to a girl, but it was a set up
00:47:14and it went all round school.
00:47:17Fuck.
00:47:22Tracking your position.
00:47:23Your best bet is to go across country.
00:47:25Okay, copy that.
00:47:26Confirming, you'll be first on scene ahead of the paramedics.
00:47:29They're on their way.
00:47:30They're on their way.
00:47:32Hey, can you just take care of her for a second, please?
00:47:36How you doing? You guys alright?
00:47:37She's okay. She's just in shock.
00:47:40I see.
00:47:41Oh, shit.
00:47:42Yeah, right.
00:47:44Oh, shit.
00:47:50You've got a broken leg and a hard knock to the head.
00:47:54Can you hear me, mate?
00:47:55Yes.
00:47:59You have got six casualties.
00:48:01One being a fracture.
00:48:02Okay.
00:48:03You stay with the fracture.
00:48:04I'll stick with the head injury.
00:48:05Okay.
00:48:06Here.
00:48:11I'm going to give you something for the pain, okay?
00:48:13All the passengers are counter faults.
00:48:14Young couple.
00:48:15They jumped early and when we hit the ground hard
00:48:17and the basket tipped over.
00:48:19Okay.
00:48:20Hugh, I'm going to splint.
00:48:22Welcome back, Liam.
00:48:23You sit tight, mate.
00:48:24We'll be back in a sec.
00:48:25Make sure he doesn't move.
00:48:26Sure.
00:48:37Are you okay?
00:48:44Are you okay?
00:48:45What's your name?
00:48:50Doctor.
00:48:52Doctor.
00:48:54Oh, okay.
00:48:55Tell me what's going on.
00:48:56I've got a little pain in my upper arm,
00:48:57but I can't feel my hand.
00:49:00Alright, penny.
00:49:04Second prefrontal burn.
00:49:05There's no pulse here.
00:49:07Hands cold to the touch.
00:49:11Okay, Jess is going to get you to walk with me.
00:49:13Okay.
00:49:14There's swelling under the burn.
00:49:15It's thickening the skin.
00:49:16Putting pressure on your veins.
00:49:17That's where the blood gets to.
00:49:18It's going to be a pain.
00:49:19Okay.
00:49:20Oh, my god.
00:49:21I'm so sorry.
00:49:22I'm sorry.
00:49:23I'm so sorry.
00:49:24I'm so sorry.
00:49:25I'm so sorry.
00:49:26I'm sorry.
00:49:27I'm sorry.
00:49:28Putting pressure on your veins and arteries,
00:49:29cutting off the circulation.
00:49:31Down here.
00:49:32There we go.
00:49:32Easy does it.
00:49:34You're going to make an incision in the wound
00:49:36to relieve the pressure, restore the blood flow.
00:49:38You understand what's happening?
00:49:39Yes.
00:49:40OK.
00:49:42It's only going to take a moment.
00:49:44OK.
00:50:00OK, I've got a pulse.
00:50:02Just try and move your fingers for me, Jess.
00:50:06There we go.
00:50:09That's good.
00:50:11That's very good.
00:50:42Well, that was pretty ordinary.
00:50:49What?
00:51:11Yeah.
00:51:30Shana.
00:51:32No, it's fine.
00:51:35Uh, sure.
00:51:38No.
00:51:39No.
00:51:40I'll be there in a minute.
00:51:42OK.
00:51:43Bye.
00:51:47Shana's at the airport.
00:51:48There's no taxi, so I said that I'd go and get her.
00:51:53Oh, yeah, of course.
00:51:55Mm.
00:52:07Hi.
00:52:07Hi, Penny.
00:52:10Thanks so much for this.
00:52:12It's not a problem.
00:52:13Hey.
00:52:13Hey.
00:52:15Um, what happened to you two?
00:52:17Oh, nothing.
00:52:18There was a thing with a hot air balloon.
00:52:20A hot air balloon?
00:52:21Had to make an emergency landing.
00:52:23There was some injuries.
00:52:25Doesn't sound like nothing.
00:52:26Ha.
00:52:31It's good news about Hugh's job.
00:52:33Well deserved.
00:52:34Mm.
00:52:36Uh, shall we?
00:52:37Yeah.
00:52:39Oh, no, Shana, you sit in the front.
00:52:41No, no, I'm good.
00:52:42No, please, get in the front.
00:52:44OK.
00:52:56You all good?
00:52:58Yeah.
00:53:00Oh, sorry.
00:53:03Sorry.
00:53:04Look, I'm not really a fan of long, serenade-goodbye
00:53:09speeches, so probably best for everyone
00:53:11that we get this over and done with quick-smart.
00:53:16But I just wanted to say that, um,
00:53:19I will never forget my time here.
00:53:21Yeah.
00:53:22Yeah.
00:53:23Yeah.
00:53:24Yeah.
00:53:25Yeah.
00:53:25Yeah.
00:53:26Yeah.
00:53:27I will never forget my time here.
00:53:29Perhaps not here, yeah, but, um, definitely
00:53:34working with all of you.
00:53:38You are all truly the best.
00:53:42So I guess this is, um, thank you, and this is goodbye.
00:53:53That's it.
00:53:55It's all good.
00:53:56It's fine.
00:53:57It's fine.
00:54:03See ya.
00:54:07Thank you for, um.
00:54:10Good luck.
00:54:25Hey.
00:54:27Hey.
00:54:29We going home anytime soon?
00:54:35When are you going to tell me what happened at school?
00:54:38I'm thrilled to be out of the joint,
00:54:40and soon it's just going to be a crap memory.
00:54:42Let's just leave it at that, eh?
00:54:47You've been home for two days now,
00:54:48and I'm still waiting for you to be back.
00:54:51I'm not going to wait.
00:54:52You've been home for two days now,
00:54:53and I'm still waiting for you to be honest with me.
00:54:57Yeah, same.
00:55:04Floyd.
00:55:10Hugh told me about the picture on the phone at school.
00:55:18You could tell Hugh why couldn't you talk to me.
00:55:22Do you think I want to have to explain that to my mother?
00:55:28Why don't you just get with Hugh again?
00:55:30I mean, everybody knows that's what you want to do.
00:55:33If we're being honest, then.
00:55:36Floyd, there is no me and Hugh.
00:55:41That's just wrong.
00:55:43You're both wrong.
00:55:45No, no, I'm comfortable with that.
00:55:51Well, I'm glad we could have this little chat.
00:55:55Get back to me when you can stop being honest.
00:56:15♪♪♪
00:56:24♪♪♪
00:56:34♪♪♪
00:56:44♪♪♪
00:56:54♪♪♪
00:57:00Excuse me.
00:57:11You missed the ceremony.
00:57:13Yeah, well, I had a lot of things to pack up and sit me in.
00:57:18Time got away.
00:57:19Yeah, it does that.
00:57:25Are you back?
00:57:27Uh, yeah.
00:57:30Yeah, I am.
00:57:32What about your job?
00:57:34Sharna.
00:57:37Sharna deserves someone who was all in.
00:57:41And I just couldn't give her that.
00:57:45Penny.
00:57:48Some may say I have a big ego.
00:57:52We all do.
00:57:54But even I have to admit,
00:57:57I can't see a life for myself without you in it.
00:58:01Here.
00:58:03In Wyhope.
00:58:05With you.
00:58:09You hate Wyhope?
00:58:11Yeah, well, about that.
00:58:14Can I let you in on a little secret?
00:58:17Mm-hmm.
00:58:18Thanks, I kind of love it.
00:58:21Almost as much as I love you.
00:58:29I love you, too.
00:58:34And you.
00:58:36And you.
00:58:52Better get in there.
00:58:53Mm.
00:59:05I love you.
00:59:28Is this for real?
00:59:30Yes, mate. It's for real.
00:59:33I mean, that's all right by you.
00:59:36Of course.
00:59:38Congratulations.
00:59:57You're back.
00:59:58For good.
00:59:59To the dance floor!
01:00:02Dance!
01:00:05Dance!
01:00:08Woohoo!
