Accordingly, Whyhope Council is to be stood down, that is to say, dismissed.

You're sacking me?

To be continued?

MAN: Meryl Knight?

Yes?

You're under arrest on charges related to the misappropriation of council funds.

Darl, there is one thing.

Will you look out for my kids?

Yeah, of course.

All I want to eat

- is fibre at the moment.

- CHARLIE: Guys, stop talking.

You want some lemon...

- Meryl?

- What?

Can we just focus?

He's so thin!

Didn't they have supermarkets in Munich?

OK, everyone, just listen.

Now, here are our assigned tasks and running order.

Tonight's our chance to honour Kassie's memory and help out Wes and the kids.

I think Hugh should emcee.

- Oi.

- Actually, I'm gonna emcee.

No, Sharna will respond more to Hugh and we need her to see how Whyhope

- is supporting my fight.

- Well, I'm gonna emcee, OK?

- OK?

I'll do it.

- Hey.

I'm gonna launch my new lager tonight at the brewery made with local hops 'cause Sharna reckons the brewery can make a comeback.

Well, you don't have to impress Sharna.

What would you like me to do tonight?

Mum, please.

You're on bail.

Just keep your head down.

It's alright.

He'll be fine once he's had his first day back at the clinic with Penny.

Honestly, that woman's tiny.

It's not a problem.

Really.

Not a problem.

I've been the boss for over a year now.

- Penny will respect that.

- Will she, though?

- Will she respect that?

- See you, sweetheart.

Mwah.

- Thanks, Hayles.

- What?

No.

- No, no, I can't look after her.

- Hayley, the brewery.

[HUFFS] - Ajax, can you look after Jimmy?

- AJAX: No.

Sorry.

Got to go on site with Tom.

CHARLIE: Everyone, this is Kassie's night.

OK?

I'm gonna get some more tea.

Would anybody like some coffee?

Tea?

I'll get you some more water.

Nice of them to ask.

MAN: I can't keep making excuses to the minister about your overblown budget.

You have to cut costs.


It's a process.

I'm still collating data on whether businesses can even feasibly reopen.

I can't keep you in Whyhope if you're not implementing actual efficiency strategies.

- I know what I'm doing.

- Sharna, look at the clinic, huh?

It's tiny.


All that staff on payroll.

I mean, they don't all need to be there.


Probably not.

Send me better figures or I'm pulling you out.

[CAR DOORS CLOSE]

- Morning.

- Well, hello, woman who holds our entire future in her hands.

Are you here to see me?

Sadly, no.

I have to see Ken

- about some alarming HR expenditure.

- Oh.

- How bad?

- Bad.

Hey, there's this fundraiser at the brewery tonight, if hokey regional entertainment is your thing.

You're really selling it.

Well, I will be there.

In that case, I'll think about it.

I'm not saying the filing system is wrong, just outdated.

At Stanwell, we had a more efficient approach to patients.

- Numbers, not names.

- Coming in here with your vision and dare-to-dream ideology,

- it's like you never left.

- But she did leave, for quite some time.

- Welcome back.

- Thank you.

- It's great to be back.

- Hmm.

Oh, sorry, Sharna, this is Penny Cartwright.

She's our new locum.

Penny, this is Sharna Bahtt.

She's here to fix up

- the whole mess with the council.

- Yes.

Of course.

It's lovely to meet you.

Hugh tells me you're getting us back on our feet.

Yes, along with getting my mother sacked, arrested and charged.

Not without considered and just cause.

It's great to meet you, Penny.

- [GIGGLES] - So, um...

What's going on here?

Penny has implemented a brilliant new filing system.

Oh, that is so great.

Now, change it all back.

Oh.

OK.

You're the boss.

Sure am.

Now, not before.

Hello, new world order.

Hello indeed.

Ken, can I have a word outside?

♪ 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. ♪

Betty, I really think the, um, clinic should have a presence at the fundraiser tonight, seeing Kassie was our patient.

Yeah, it's so heartbreaking.

Those poor kids.

We had a magnificent fundraiser at Stanwell.

Raised thousands.

I wore vintage Chanel and danced with Guy Sebastian.

We'll charge for blood pressure checks and give the proceeds to the family.

On it.

Now, first patient for today...

Who's taking her?

- I'll take her.

- Me.

[CLEARS THROAT]

[LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION]

Don't make me do this, please.

[LAUGHS]

- Jimmy, slow down.

- [LAUGHS]

Hayley, Sharna needs to be here tonight to see that I'm not intimidated by her or her criminal charges.

Sharna needs to be here to see how we're honouring

- poor Kassie, you mean?

- Exactly.

Prioritise.

Make sure she's at the fundraiser tonight.

And I want you to check on Council.

- I predict shambolic.

- You can't hijack this, Meryl.

I'm on my way to report to the police.

Ciao.

Unbelievable!

OK, I need to go get photos of Kassie from Wes.

Can you finish here?

- Yeah.

- OK.

Hayley.

Hayley, here.

Try that.

- What am I tasting?

- Hope.

Hope is what you are tasting.

Whyhope.

- OK.

- People are gonna fall in love with Arcadia beer again.

That's what you said about the German beer.

- We barely sold a crate.

- Yes, but this golden elixir could be the thing that saves us all.

Did I tell you that Sharna said that I have the making...

Of a great entrepreneur.

- Yes.

- Yep.

Twice.

Cool.

Alright, well, try to find a way to on-sell that.

- OK.

Yep.

- Yep?

- Great.

- Danke.

[LAUGHS AWKWARDLY]

[SIGHS]

So, how are we looking budget-wise, you reckon?

[CLEARS THROAT, LAUGHS]

That bad?

Do you need the top-tier materials?

It's our dream home.

It's for Hayles.

It has to be perfect.

Then it's gonna blow out, mate.

[MOBILE PHONE VIBRATES]

Listen, do you need the media room?

- Um, yeah.

- You do?

That's me and Jimmy's man-cave.

[LAUGHS]

- Have you got any savings?

- A few, but they're for Jimmy.

Hayles would k*ll me if I touched them.

Right.

Something will come up, eh?

Yeah.

Ken, I'm not asking.

Betty is so high up the wages tier now she is costing the clinic tens of thousands of dollars, not to mention her accrued leave.

But she keeps the place going.

We work so well together.

She's a victim of her own competence.

Is there any other option than dismissal?

There is not.

The happiness of one or the service of many...

Oh!

I'm ill-equipped to deal with a moral quandary of this magnitude.

Why has this fallen on me?

Because I know you can do it.

What a dark day for Whyhope.

We need to show the powers-that-be that we're making real changes here.

[SIGHS]

You know who I am, so why do you need my ID?

You took my photo when you arrested me.

Isn't it in there?

Licence?

You've already breached your bail this morning.

- How?

- Reporting late, Meryl.

minutes.

This is ridiculous.

I'm sorry you think we're ridiculous.

Perhaps you won't think so when I make an application to vary your bail and add a curfew condition.

- [WHISTLES] - I will ask the court to impose a home curfew on you from : pm until : am every night...

[SCOFFS] Absolutely not.

I've got a fundraiser to attend to save our town and your jobs...

... as well as an enforcement condition, which means we can and will be knocking on your door to make sure you're home.

Have a lovely day.

HUGH: Distal non-displaced radius fracture.

Can I see?

- Is it tender there?

- Mm-hm.

Might also have a scaphoid fracture.

- Might not.

- He needs a CT scan.

Which we don't have and you know it.

- Let's prep him for plaster, shall we?

- He needs to go to Stanwell.

If it is a scaphoid and we don't treat it...

Avascular necrosis.

Yes, I know.


If he still in pain in a week, he can get one then.

If the fracture's unstable, Hugh...

- It needs to be scanned now.

- In a week.

He's fine.

- Thank you, doctor.

- Fine.

Excuse me, Gary.

Sorry.

Doctors, outside, please.

[DOOR OPENS]

_ Honesty is the only language we speak here.

Agreed?

- Yep.

- Whatever.

OK, so, back in Nepal, when I was a camp counsellor in the late ' s, we helped troubled youths with this thing called active listening, so it teaches people in conflict to really hear each other.

Ready?

So, Hugh, I want you to tell Penny your grievances.

And, Penny, I want you to say it back to show that you truly understand.

God, this is time-wasting.

- Hugh thinks this is time-wasting.

- What, are you ?

There are patients waiting.

Stop blocking, please.

Your resentment's trying to tell you something.

So, just start with something small.

Fine.

I don't like it when Penny slurps her tea.

- I don't slurp.

- [LAUGHS] Oh...

There's slurping.

Lots of slurping.

Well, I don't like it when Hugh sings the wrong lyrics

- with confidence.

- I never do that, ever.

Google 'Bohemian Rhapsody'.

No 'moose'.

None.

OK.

This is good.

This is honesty.

- Yeah, not really her forte, is it?

- Oh, really?

Well, secretly working for a rival hospital?

Secretly back in town?

Secretly married?

- There it is.

- Oh, OK.

Listening ears.

My private life is just that.

Until it affects the hospital, which it has.

- Are you feeling abandoned?

- [LAUGHS]

Is that what this is?

- No, no.

- Let's dig back.

Functioning quite well without you.

Better, in fact.

You know what, I could fire you.

I could fire you right now.

- I could quit, go back to Stanwell.

- Oh, please!

Go!

Just stop mentioning it every five minutes.

OK.

That's it.

That's enough.

What a sad, sad day.

- [SIGHS]

- If you two can't keep it together in there, we will lose the very few patients we have left.

There is a woman who lost her life who we are remembering tonight and there is a community who needs you to be a driving force of unity and hope, because in case you hadn't noticed, no-one has any.

I remember when you were both better people.

Hey, Sam.

What you doing?

Larry.

I've been thinking about you guys.

Everyone says that.

Well, it's true, though.

Don't ask if we're OK.

Come on, Sam.

- Hey, Wes.

- Hey.

- How are you?

- Door was open.

How are you doing?

[HALF-LAUGHS]

That was a dumb question.

Oh.

Sorry.

Photos.

Yeah.

Slipped my mind.

I'm sorry.

I did do it but I...

you know, with the funeral and everything...

Thanks.

- Listen, the fundraiser...

- Yeah...

I don't think that's a really good idea.

The kids, you know...

They're not really ready for that, especially Larry.

Well, they should come.

It's gonna be really special, I promise.

Yeah.

[ENGINE REVS]

Oh, sh*t.

Not again.

[ENGINE REVS]

Larry!

Larry!

Get off that thing!

You don't have a helmet!

Go, Laz!

- She loves that thing, hey?

- She wants to go pro.

- Reckon your dad will catch her?

- He'll just ground her again.

Yeah, well, he's got to be Mum and Dad now.

We were halfway through 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'.

- Who?

- Me and Mum.

We never finished it.

- Well, can't your dad do that?

- He cries at night.

Sharing an office.

Weird.

No room.

What do you do?

Mmm.

Starving.

I had kickboxing this morning.

Betty was way out of line, don't you think?

Completely.

[BLENDER WHIRS]

What does that even mean "better people"?

Better than who?

No idea.

[BLENDER WHIRS]

We're just...

[BLENDER WHIRS]

Adjusting?

[SLURPS]

Oh, my god!

Brain freeze!

[INHALES SHARPLY] Want some?

Oh!

- Penny!

Really?

- Oh...

- Come on!

- It was an accident!

Oh, really?

Maybe here's an idea.

- Don't make milkshakes in my office.

- It's our office.

It's a smoothie.

And I need to increase my iron.

You know who's better?

Me.

- At least I'm trying to...

- Well, here's a thought.

Stop trying.

- That's your problem.

- You're my problem, Hugh.

Oh...

[SIGHS]

[BIRDSONG]

OK.

Jimmy, repeat after me Uncle Matt is a master brewer.

Uncle Matt is a master brewer.

- [GIGGLES] - Sharna reckons he can save the town.

- Sharna reckons...

[BABBLES] - Ooh.

Charlie.

Charlie.

Girl, I feel good.

We are reinventing ourselves.

Listen, what brings people together?

Family, friends, drink.

The brewery's the glue.

You know, we're gonna bottle Whyhope.

- You're not listening to a word.

- Sorry.

It's just that I just saw Wes and the kids and, Matt, all I can think is that they're gonna grow up without a mum.

But you grew up without a mum.

And there was always something missing.

Charlie, I was wondering if you could look at this.

This is my speech for tonight.

- What?

- I know.

I know the police have given me a very silly : pm curfew tonight

- but Whyhope needs to hear me speak.

- Curfew?

Mum, I reckon you need to take that seriously.

But there's much more at stake.

They will jail you, Mum.

You won't like it.

It's loud and cold.

This whole thing is about you and the council.

I mention Kassie I think in the second...

Second-last paragraph, don't I?

I need to go and find Hayley.

BETTY: It's like a sea urchin awakening.

Would you like one?

I get them on the dark web.

Slightly stimulating effects but I just like the taste.

No?

OK.

Cheers.

Mmm!

Tingly.

And that's everything.

- Good-o.

- Sweet.

Oh, give us a sec.

I just want to put a bet down.

On the horses?

No, doggies.

I've got a tip on Mystic in the fourth.

Can I come?

I want to see.

Suit yourself.

[RACE CALL PLAYS FAINTLY]

Come on!

Sharna, hi.

Tell Meryl she needn't sent spies.

I'm happy for her

- to come to me directly.

- [LAUGHS AWKWARDLY] No.

The fundraiser for Kassie is tonight.

We were hoping that you could come.

Hugh mentioned it.

You'll see Whyhope at its absolute best.

We're good at this stuff.

Unity,

- community...

- And a showcase for Meryl?

[LAUGHS]

That woman doesn't appreciate you.

I'm gonna grab some lunch.

- Walk with me?

- OK.

Uh, so I can tell Meryl that you'll come tonight?

You know, I could really use your local knowledge on council.

Full-time.

There'd be an opportunity to expand, learn, grow.

It's gonna be great.

Food stalls, bluegrass band...

I know you heard me.

Just think about it.

I mean it.

[LAUGHS AWKWARDLY] I, um...

I have to get back to Meryl.

- KEN: Betty, have you got a moment?

- Betty...

I can't work with that whack-job anymore.

Get her out of my office.

Sorry, Ken.

You were saying?

I have always enjoyed our mutual goal of putting the clinic first and our friendship second.

I just want to say that book club is the highlight of my social calendar and you make delicious gingerbread.

Oh!

[LAUGHS] Thanks, Ken.

PENNY: Om...

[SIGHS] That's unbelievable.

You cleaned up just like that.

I don't always.

It's a mug's game.

That's awesome.

Hey, isn't that your missus?

Yeah.

Uh, not her favourite person at the moment.

We had to move back in with Mum...

- Oh, that's right.

I'm sorry.

- Yeah.

I'm just gonna...

[LAUGHS AWKWARDLY] Hayley.

- Hey.

Tom.

- HAYLEY: Oh.

Hi.

I just had a meeting.

Well, I mean, a chance meeting.

[LAUGHS AWKWARDLY] I mean...

I was meant to meet the person but not like in an official capacity.

No business opportunities were discussed.

- Cool.

- Cool.

- Yeah.

- Yep.

- [BOTH LAUGH AWKWARDLY] - Um...

I'm heading back to the brewery.

Do you want a lift?

[LAUGHS] Yeah.

Sure.

- Yeah.

- OK.

- Yeah.

Cool.

- This way?

- Yep.

[LAUGHS] - Cool.

Thanks.

- [CRANKS HANDBRAKE]

- I...

Well, I think that she actually thinks that I'd be valuable in there.

Maybe.

Oh.

I don't know, Tom.

- Meryl...

- Listen, for what it's worth, you seem pretty smart.

And this Sharna lady, she'd be lucky to have you.

Say yes, Hayley.

I, um...

Thanks for listening.

Um...

Do you have time to help with a few things in the brewery?

Sure.

OK.

I'm just gonna run this box down to the brewery.

Ken was supposed to do it but there's something going on with him.

Have you even unpacked yet?

Do you want to borrow a dress for the fundraiser?

What am I doing back here, Betty?

You're exactly where you're meant to be.

Fighting with Hugh in front of everyone?

I can't do this.

It's day one.

I'll just go back to Stanwell or...

- Far North Queensland.

- Run, run, run.

Wherever you go, there you are.

I'm tired of everyone weighing in.

I'm going to that fundraiser to shine bright like a diamond, because the only person I need to have a good time with is myself.

[LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION]

So, is it yes or no?

- Is Sharna coming?

- Yes...

- No.

I don't know.

- Why are you so distracted?

It's almost : , Mum.

- Time to go home.

- Yes, I will, as long as you go and get Sharna and bring her back here.

I've already asked her.

I'm staying, then.

[MOCK-AMERICAN ACCENT] Well, howdy, Calamity Jane.

Yee-hah

Yee-hah indeed.

OK.

Come in.

Work?

Boring.

Fun - better.

You do understand that this work is to save you?

- I'm doing this for you.

- Come out.

You deserve some time off.

Let's give those CWA ladies something to really talk about.

I can't.

I'm just swamped.

You do know they haven't warmed to you?

The locals.

Yes.

Thank you.

Well, come out.

Prove to them you don't have horns and a tail.

Or do you have...

Do I have to bootscoot?

Uh, please, don't.

Oh, I'm just getting started.

Hey.

You all came.

I'm so pleased.

- Hey.

- Hey, mate.

Um, Matt, do you want to take them in?

Yeah.

Come on, mate.

Hey.

It's alright.

It's just this way.

HUGH: Well, we're not the first here.

BETTY: Did you know that by the time we see the sun set, it's already out of sight?


I did not.

Our atmosphere bends light.

Anyway, it's an optical illusion.

Betty...

I have to tell you something.

As administrator, it's my duty but as your friend, I want you to know we're going to fight this...

- I'm moving to the Andes.

- What?

Bogota, specifically.

I have a second cousin there who runs a women's shelter.

Yeah, and they make placemats out of used staples.

It's very inventive.

I've been meaning to go for years.

I see.

- It's time I moved on.

- Is it?

So says Mars entering Libra.

We've had a good run together.

I'll always be grateful.

Are you sure?

- I'll be gone by the morning.

- Oh.

But the fundraiser...

Oh, I don't want to make a fuss.

You go.

Represent, my friend.

[EXHALES]

Goodbye.

Ken...

We'll meet again.

I'm trying to do that.

Pretty good numbers, Di.

You're looking after yourself.

Thank you.

- Where did you say Ken and Betty were?

- No idea.

SHARNA: Can I join the fun?

Take a seat.

I'll, um, do the honours.

Mm-hm.

- Um...

- [CLEARS THROAT]

Just put your arm through here.

OK, Doctor.

- Tighten her up.

[CHUCKLES]

- [BEEPING]

Just takes a moment.

[LONG BEEP] Wow.

Um...

- Your distressed, I see.

- A little.

- Hmm.

- No wonder.

You're both under huge pressure.

Stepping up in the face of great adversity.

It's true.

- [HALF-LAUGHS]

- [VELCRO RIPS] He's a great man.

Really.

It's none of my business but you could do a lot worse than this one.

[HALF-LAUGHS]

Yeah, well, you can keep the change and I'll get a drink.

Hey.

Do you want to say a few words about your mum later?

No.

And Dad shouldn't either.

Who are all these people?

Tom and I, we're just good friends.

I'm married to Ajax.

Happily.

So, are you gonna crawl out from under Meryl's thumb and come and work with me?

I see you, Hayley.

Your potential.

HUGH: Oh, you are kidding me.

- What are you doing here?

- My civil duty.

- We're handling this.

Go home.

- I'm an extra pair of hands.

Fine.

Fine.

It's your funeral.

That's an interesting dress.

I liked it, so I'm wearing it.

That's what I'm doing, Meryl.

I'm living by pure instinct.

CHARLIE: And we have...

Orange A .

- Orange...

- Oh!

That's me.

- [PEOPLE EXCLAIM] - Oh!

Sharna!

- Well done.

- [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

Um, you have won ten cases of German craft beer.

Thank you, but obviously

- I can't accept it.

- Scheisse.

Oh, Meryl.

Uh, Meryl is here and not at home, as required by law, for some reason.

- Charlie, I can take it from here...

- Yeah, sorry.

Just one sec.

I wanted to say this to Wes and the kids, but Larry's just stepped out.

When you're the only kid whose mum isn't at school for parent-teacher night or the sports carnival or waiting for breakfast in bed on Mother's Day...

- It can be hard.

- [ENGINE REVS OUTSIDE]

But Kassie left you something that can never be taken away.

[ENGINE REVS]

[HALF-LAUGHS]

Resilience.

She had a strength and spirit that now lives on in you.

[ENGINE REVS OUTSIDE]

We miss you, Kassie.

Thank you, Whyhope, for honouring her so beautifully.

- OTHERS: To Kassie.

- [APPLAUSE]

- [LOUD SMASH] - Larry, what are you doing?!

[GUESTS GASP]

- Penny, got the kit?

- PENNY: Got it.

Alright, get this table out of the way.

Easy does it, Jean.

- Nice and easy.

- WES: Larry!

Are you OK?

- PENNY: Larry?

- Larry?

- Larry?

- My shoulder hurts.

Your shoulder?

Let me have a look.

Just take it nice and easy.

Take a little...

It seems OK, Larry.

Ow!

Ow, my stomach!

- Your stomach?

- Ow!

- OK.

Let me look.

- That looked so bad.

- Let me look.

Let me look.

- [CRIES] No!

- Mum.

Mum.

- WES: I'm here.

Hugh?

Just keep applying pressure here for me.

- Yes.

What have you got?

- Rigidity of the abdomen.

- Yeah, pulse is rapid.

- Kehr's sign.

What does that mean?

We're concerned she has abdominal trauma.

She may have a ruptured spleen.

I'm gonna call the ambulance.

I'll start her on fluids.

- This is Dr. Hugh Knight...

- My answer is yes.

I need an ambulance immediately...

- Really?

- ... to Arcadia brewery.

I want to work for you.

Thank you.

Yes.
WES: Yeah.

Thanks.

Cheers.

Appreciate it.

HUGH: She's gonna be fine.

- Wes...

- Thanks.

- Hey.

You're alright.

- Jump in, mate.

- Drink?

- Uh, I'll be in in a sec.

OK.

Never a dull moment in Whyhope.

Just needed some air.

Yeah, well, air is good.

I just had a crazy, narcissistic thought in there.

Yeah, I never have those.

I thought...

[LAUGHS] "No-one would ever make a speech about me." [LAUGHS]

Oh, come on.

I don't believe that for a second.

It's true, actually.

I mean, I have my brother but we don't really...

- Anyway...

- Yeah.

Nah, I get it.

Family.

It's complicated.

I know.

You and Penny work so well together.

Yeah, well, we're friends, colleagues, sparring partners.

And us?

Good, good people of Whyhope, I will not let my name or this town be slandered.

[OTHERS CHEER AND APPLAUD]

This is a time to be strong, to be united...

- Oh, here we go.

- ... to be steadfast.

Meryl Knight, you're in breach of bail conditions.

Arrest me.

I fear not your shackles.

Your curfew confined you

- to your property.

- This is my property.

- In your home.

- Hey, look where we are, mate.

Maybe just let it go this time, eh?

Fine, given the occasion.

But you must return with us to your homestead immediately, Mrs.

Knight.

That seems reasonable enough.

I swear to God, she's Teflon.

Let's go.

Hayley?

Hayley?

- Hayley?

- Just watch out behind you.

Do you want to get out of here?

Uh, yes.

It looks that way.

What would your mother say?

Can we just leave her out of this?

[BOTH LAUGH] Meryl Knight.

You're the best news that's driven through the gate in years.

NARRATOR: Is this handsome devil...

- You don't know my mum.

- Well, I used to very well.

How well?

... her knight in shining armour? You're backing the wrong horse, mate.

Meryl's got more secret chambers than Harry Potter.

I'm thinking of changing.

Don't!

I wish I was badder.
