- I'm Harriet.

HUGH: My wife.

Las Vegas wife.

As you may recall, I... did... that.

[FIRES sh*t]

I just don't like who I
am when I'm with you.


I'm saying goodbye.

I don't want that.

I don't care.

I remember you.

[BOTH GASP AND LAUGH]

- Still room ?
- You'd have to knock and find out.

What if I designed a stent

shaped like a helix?

- Read.
- They want to buy the stent.

$ . million!

And royalties! [LAUGHS]

Dr Knight, I bring exciting news.

It's all here. The eagle has landed.

[MERYL PANTS]

- No-one could have saved him.
- [GASPS]

I could've been standing right there

and I couldn't have saved him.

Is something wrong?

Definitely pre-eclampsia.
Some signs of foetal distress.

AJAX: Hugh!

We're gonna have to perform
an emergency C-section.

- I can't lose her too.
- I know.

Congratulations, Grandad.

- He's adorable.
- [GURGLES]

Uh...

You can just call me Hugh.

Mum, do you know where Ajax
left the tractor keys?

Mum?

[EXHALES]

The smell of sawdust, earth.

Something just a little bit spicy.

He's still here.

[SNIFFS]

Hmm.

- Take something.
- No, I couldn't.

Take the shirt. Refresh your look.

What's wrong with my look?

Your father was very stylish.
It's hard to compete.

No, if I take this, I'll just

feel bad about washing him away.

The keys are on the back
wall behind the toaster.

[SNIFFS]

Pa!

- [EXCLAIMS]
- [BOTH LAUGH]

- Papa!
- Koo-koo!

- Koo-koo!
- Oh, where have you been?

- I called you ages ago.
- Oh, my phone, it's been playing up.

I needed you. There were so
many of Matt's family there.

- Any singing?
- What do you think?

Oh... [KISSES]

[BOTH EXCLAIM]

Come on. Come on.

- Papa is here.
- Eh!

- Finally.
- Hey.

Hey, I'm sorry to hear about
your father's passing, eh?

- He was a good man.
- Yeah.

- It's been a while now.
- I know.

Everybody's there for the funeral,

then all of a sudden, one by one,

they start to drop off...

You're still grieving and
then there's no more support.

Oh, yeah, so you're like
the reserve support?

Oh, come here, come here.

- [GROANS]
- Come here. Come here.

Papa, who's that pissing on our lawn?

Oh, it's Ivy, Sunshine's girl.

Vanessa, my girlfriend.

I don't know any Vanessa or Sunshine.

It's the same person.
She just changed her name.

- Ivy's mum...
- Hi.

- Hey.
- ...uh, she's, uh, doing meditation...

- Vipassana.
- Yeah.

For, uh, ten days on the Gold Coast.

It's all in silence. Can you believe it?

[BOTH LAUGH]

So that's your kid?

This is Charlie and Matt.

- Ah, Matt, there you go. For you.
- Oh.

Uh, no streamers.

[EXHALES]

[GASPS]

I knew that handwriting had a vibe.

It's the ex-wife.

No-one mails anything these
days, unless it's important.

It's a USB.

And for all you know, it's a

series of lovely photos of Boston.

Harry doesn't do lovely.

I'd like to see some photos of Boston.

- It's not Boston.
- Load her up.

- We'll see.
- What if it's a virus?

We have the most secure system

in the state hospital system.

I have a certificate to prove it.

That was a very fun night.

Proud moment.

I'll look at it in my office.

Uh, it's actually not your
office anymore, Hugh.

Penny found a new GP already, has she?

Well, no, we need to set parameters,

determine what space belongs to

the Knight Cartwright Cardiac Clinic

and what belongs to Whyhope Hospital.

- So I can't use my office?
- Not your office.

The office.

We can make an exception today.

I'd love to see Harriet's new home.

What if it's p*rn?

Better still.

[SIGHS]

[EXHALES]

WOMAN: Heartbeat's beats per minute.

That's perfect for weeks.

Congratulations, Hugh.

Look at what we made.

- Press release?
- Went out this morning.

'Whyhope Gazette's coming and

Ken is live-tweeting the event.

I'm expecting a big audience.

I'm more nervous today
than before my wedding.

So you should be.

This is the start of the
most important development

in this hospital's history.

OK. You're freaking me out.

Hugh, will you listen to my
speech, give me some tips?

Uh... sure.

[SIGHS]

Hey, just...

- Mm-hm... Mmm...
- Oh...

Mmm...

- Mm-hm...
- Mmm...

I thought you were nervous.

Look what we made, Hugh.

Of course I'm not nervous.

It's a beautiful thing.

Why stop here?

We could build a whole new clinic,

get that MRI you've
been banging on about.

Standard medical equipment.
Hardly banging on.

- [SIGHS]
- Are you OK?

I thought you'd be more
excited about today.

Um, I'm just...

Worried about my speech.

Topic cards, that's my tip.

And keep it brief.

[LAUGHTER NEARBY]

- Oh, it's good to see you.
- Yeah.

It really is.

You know we've got
plenty of spare rooms.

You didn't have to bring
your accommodation.

- Querida Meryl! Oh!
- Mmm!

- I'm sorry for your loss.
- Mmm.

- Jim was a real man amongst men.
- Thank you.

- And we missed you at the funeral.
- He's the reserve support.

Matt!

I'm glad you're here, Papa.

And of course you are.
We never stop being parents.

Oh! This is my girlfriend's
daughter, Ivy.

- Ivy, this is Meryl.
- Are you going out?

Uh, yes. Hugh's opening
the new clinic today.

- You must be so proud.
- Are you coming?

Farm. No-one running it.

- I have to go to school.
- What, you can't take a day off?

Well, it's not usual for
the principal to wag.

Oh, my daughter's the boss!

- Yeah, and a published author.
- Self-published.

I turn my back for two
minutes, two minutes...

Two years.

But you're a free spirit. I know.
I'm happy you're here, Papa.

Wow, this is all really fun but

I'd rather go and plough a field.

I assume you'll still
be here tonight, mate?

I'll cook, Meryl.

I wouldn't miss it.

One, two, two...

Well, Dr. Knight. This is flash.

Uh... [HALF-LAUGHS]

Does this mean you're staying now?

- For the moment.
- Hmm.

- Lucky Whyhope.
- I... [HALF-LAUGHS]

I just, um... [CLEARS THROAT]

Sorry.

Welcome, everyone,

to the grand opening of the
Knight Cartwright Heart Clinic.

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

Hugh and I couldn't be
more proud of our baby

or of the fact that the stent

developed right here in Whyhope

will have its debut this very morning,

when we all get to have a little glimpse

under the covers of
Dr. Knight's technique.

[LAUGHTER]

[FEEDBACK]

Um, surgery technique, that is.

Expansion agrees with her.

She looks quite pretty
today, don't you think?

Just... Listening to her words.

The wonderful staff who helped
make this day happen...

Do you want some of your dad's shirts?

- But you haven't come here...
- What?

- ... to listen to me talk...
- Um, no.

...the marvellous,
talented, very generous

and what the hell,
devastatingly handsome...

- [LAUGHS]
- ... Dr. Hugh Knight.

[LAUGHS]

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

Thank you, Penny.

Well, if you'd all like to make your

way through to the viewing room,

we will, um, prepare to insert the

inaugural Knight Cartwright stent.

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

Come on, everybody. Come on.

What? You said keep it brief.

[MACHINERY BEEPS STEADILY]

So, we have inserted the
balloon tipped catheter

into Francois' blocked blood vessels.

A little too hard on the soft cheese

and bacon, I'd say, Francois.

[LAUGHTER]

Right, now, as you can see,
we've reached the blockage

and I'm about to inflate the balloon

in preparation for the placement

of the inaugural Knight
Cartwright stent.

Francois, my friend, I'm about to give

you ten more years of fine dining.

[APPLAUSE]

- [WATER RUNS]
- The press ate that up.

Yes, I was good, wasn't I?

Come to dinner tonight.

Let's tell Floyd.

About you and me?

He likes you. It won't
be that much of a shock.

Um, OK.

[HORN BLARES]

MAN: Make up your bloody mind, mate!

Hello, daddy.

Isn't that video amazing?

[SIGHS]

Come here.

What are you doing here?

- You said that you...
- Oh, I said.

I also said I would never drink again.

But when I was unceremoniously
rejected by my husband,

I may have slipped off the
wagon and missed my flight.

They do go every day.

And then I realised that Sydney is

a really good place to do rehab.

You should try it, Hugh.

You might learn something
about yourself.

- Can we just focus on your problems?
- Our problem.

Don't you dare. This baby is yours.

- But we were so careful.
- Matching Mustangs.

Oh... that day.

Yeah. Don't look so worried.

I learned something
about myself in rehab.

I don't need or want anything from you.

I've come to present
you with two options

and honestly, whichever you
choose is good for me.

- Okay.
- Option A,

I have the baby in Sydney,

we're not in a relationship but

we acknowledge this child
is ours and we coparent.

Or option B, you walk away, no strings.

Goodbye, Hugh,

and the baby's told his
daddy was a sperm donor.

And you'd do that?

I only want you to be part
of this if you choose to be.

You know how loaded my mom is.

And with this little bean,
she'll forgive everything.

Ah... It's all a bit new.

Yeah.

I'm flying out tomorrow, so

you tell me if I'm going to Sydney

or catching a connecter to the US.

[SIGHS]

Here you are.

It seems none of my children
want their father's clothes.

Clothes... are tough.

For me, it's the smell.

When my Bob passed,

we boxed everything up and

put them at the back of the shed.

- That's a plan...
- Uh-uh.

They went mouldy.

You're doing the right thing, Meryl.

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES, BELL CHIMES]

On those sticky tabs, they monitor

his heart and oxygen levels.

Oh, man, he's like a little Iron Man,

you know, 'cause technology
makes him stronger.

And his teeny-tiny toes.

How are you feeling today, Hayley?

Not great.

Oh, but she looks better,
don't you think?

She does.

Your latest blood tests look good

and your platelet count's improved.

The C-section's probably
the biggest factor

for your immobility at this stage.

I'm still pretty sore.

Well, you had the double whammy.

But it's really important
you don't increase

the risk of complications
by staying in bed.

We need you up and moving
a lot more than you are.

Must be k*lling you not being able

to get in and see him, though.

Um, I show her videos.

Let's leave it for today but

try a few steps tomorrow, OK?

- Mm-hm.
- He's a beautiful little boy.

- Eh, Pa!
- Hey-hey!

Hey, Matt! Hey, Matty!

They're back. The workers
are back. Wine?

- No, I'll get a beer.
- I'll have some wine.

Uh, shower first and then
water or soft drink.

Jim was right to let you
do what you do best, Matt.

- How do you mean?
- Oh, you have the hands of a worker.

- You know, a farm worker.
- Unlike Hugh?

He has different qualities.
He has... He has the brains.

So, Ivy's mum just, uh,
left her with you?

No, no, she'll be back.
She'll be back, for sure.

HUGH: Cataplana de marisco I can smell?

- Hugh! Ah!
- Carlito!

[LAUGHS] Mwah! Mwah!

Oh, look at you!

Your father was a great man, uh?

And he's left you in
charge of the family.

Hey, you're wearing it well.

But you look different.
You look different.

You don't have that hunger
in your eyes anymore.

Uh? Uh? You look, um...

- Well-fed?
- [LAUGHS]

No. Like a tamed lion.

[HALF-LAUGHS] What?

No. I'm not tamed.

No, no, Hugh, tamed is good.

And you're a father now.
You're a grandfather.

You have the lab.
You're building something.

That's good. Yeah?

Hey, hey, hey, you must stay
for dinner. You stay for dinner, yes?

Well, I'm just going home to
get changed and then I'm...

- I'm going out.
- To meet a woman?

Uh? [LAUGHS] I know that look.

No, you're not tamed yet!
You're not tamed yet! No!

[SIGHS]

[BOTTLES CLINK]

How would you feel if we took

some of these photos of your dad

and put them somewhere safe,

like maybe in a special
book or an album?

I'd still get to keep them?

Always.

But maybe it'd be nice
to clear a bit of space

so we can put up some new photos

for the new people in our lives.

OK.

Can I get a dog?

What? No.

Worth a try.

[SIGHS]

I am really getting my signals
wrong with you today.

You don't want me here?

Since when did you need permission?

[DOOR CLOSES]

Mmm...

Um... Do you want a drink?

Um, I think I need a drink.

[SIGHS]

- You seem different.
- [POURS DRINK]

- Do I?
- Mmm. A little bit.

Busy day, that's all.

[POURS DRINK, SETS BOTTLE DOWN]

Cheers.

Mmm...

I was, um...

Wondering, just... if I could... um,

ask you a... a quick hypothetical.

Needy Hugh. Weird. But OK.

OK... Right.

Say there was this person

and they got this woman...

Financially independent woman,

uh, pregnant, accidentally

and she gave him two options.

Option A, they coparent but do not

have a romantic relationship.

Or option B,

she raises the child on her own overseas

and the other person

doesn't have anything to do
with either one of them.

Which one should he choose?

It's you, right?

[HALF-LAUGHS]

Option B. Definitely.

You think?

Can you really imagine
yourself pushing a pram,

doing storytime,

wearing a rashie down at the beach?

Well, they make a lot of sense
with skin cancer and all...

Oh, you're right.

[HALF-LAUGHS]

I mean, I am option B, aren't I?

For the kid's sake.

I think it's for the best.

Mmm.

[EXHALES]

I was ten years sober...

And all it took was
one cocky P-Plater...

One cocky P-plater, to make me fall off.

But I'm back on now.

I'm coming back to meetings,

taking it one day at a time.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Thank you, Brian.
That was really moving.

Uh, does anyone else want to share?

I've, uh, come here tonight

because I want to be anonymous.

I can never talk about this

stuff with anyone that I know.

I'm pregnant.

It's my ex-husband's.

And we've got some decisions
to make around that

but that'll work itself out.

The thing is,

I really want this baby.

But I'm scared I'm gonna be a bad mom.

And I'm terrified that
I'm gonna drink again.

[LAUGHTER]

- [LAUGHS]
- Oh!

[BOTH SING PORTUGUESE-LANGUAGE SONG]

- Eh, Pa!
- That was good.

That was beautiful.

Singing is good for the soul, huh?

Well, maybe... maybe I should try it,

or this meditation thing
that Ivy's mother's doing.

Uh...

I wish she was meditating.

I didn't want to say it
in front of Ivy but, uh,

her mother took off.

She took off last week and

I don't know where she's gone.

I made up that thing about Vipassana

just to, uh, buy some time.

Hmm. A smart move.

And I'm one account down.

Don't know where she's
gone, when she'll be back.

Well, poor you.

It's Ivy who I'm feeling for.

[LAUGHS] Well, lucky Ivy.

I'm going to bed.

Yeah, I might do that too.

[SIGHS]

I think I'm in trouble.

Mmm.

From the moment they're
born, we start to fail.

- Mmm.
- Mmm.

[SIGHS]

[BIRDSONG]

Feel better?

Mmm.

I'm certainly feeling something.

It's a manifestation of my

sympathy in your crap father.

OK.

I think it's best we
keep my dad out of this.

[GIGGLES]

[SPEAKS PORTUGUESE]

- [GASPS]
- Papa!

- What? What? What?
- [LAUGHS]

You're expressing your love.
It's beautiful!

That's good!

But today is

father-daughter, OK? Just you and me.

I have a job.

OK. You ring the boss and take a sickie.

Oh, wait, you are the boss!

Yeah, and she sets an example,
really well, by the way.

- Thanks, babe.
- You're welcome.

- OK. I'm in. What do we do?
- What?

I want to show my dad the sights.

Yes, yes, the sights of Whyhope.

What about school?

- Oh, it's one day and my dad's here.
- Yeah.

And Ivy?

Oh, alright. Fine.

- Eh!
- [LAUGHS]

What's the Portuguese for
"give us some privacy"?

Oh...

Have fun.

Betty.

We are having a very positive

response to yesterday's story.

Bookings right through the next month.

Ah. Music to my ears.

We really will need to work
on some protocols, though.

As thrilled as I am for your success,

I don't actually work
for the heart clinic.

It's pretty speccy, though, isn't it?

It's like a super-shiny,
high-tech cockpit.

Not everyone could fly it.

Thanks, Ken.

But it's dangerous to fly two
planes at the same time.

Hugh?

Uh...

Look, last night I got home
and Charlie's dad was there

- and time just got away from me...
- Hugh, stop.

I've thought a lot about this and

I think I freaked you out
about wanting to tell Floyd.

Um...

Sure.

I would've preferred it if you'd
come over and talked to me

but that's not who you are.

- Uh, no.
- Hugh.

I have to accept you for
being you, warts and all.

Well, not... so many warts.

Oh, there are warts but

they're gorgeous warts and...

I don't want to change them.

So we're... good?

We're great.

Great.

- Well...
- [LAUGHS]

Um, I was just about to
go and get a coffee.

Do you want a... Do you want a coffee?

What do you think?

Decaf piccolo coming up.

Oh...

You know, I love your warts too.

Don't push it, Hugh.

Yep.

[LAUGHS]

Jim?

Are you right?

I want those clothes back.

No, don't walk away from me...

I just bought them. I like them.

Well, you can't have them!

Do you know her? Is she OK?

She certainly is not OK

and I want you to take that
shirt off immediately.

Crazy lady! Just get out
of here, alright, mate?

Mum...

[SIGHS]

I cannot have your dad's clothes walking

around town on the backs of strange men.

That's not him.

It is him, Hugh.

[SIGHS]

What do you want me to do about it?

Well, if you're not going
to go chasing after him,

I want $ so I can go
and buy them all back.

They're quality.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

- _
- [DOOR CLOSES]

So, this is, uh... this is your day off?

Well, Matt's practically
running the farm by himself.

Hey, Charlie, when can I
get a copy of that book?

- Oh, it's online.
- Huh?

I'll send you a free copy.

Oh, I don't have a computer.

OK, well, I'll print one
out for you at work.

Boss lady. I think that should
be the first place we go, huh?

- Thank you.
- On this tour.

- School?
- Yeah.

I can't ring in sick and then
rock up for show and tell.

When did my wild daughter become so...

Conventional, huh?

- When? When? Come on, let's go.
- Oh...

I shouldn't be here.

I know. Now we're finally
having some fun.

- [LAUGHS]
- Come on. Come on.

Oooh...


[LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION]

- Oh...
- Eh!

Shh.

Go. Go, go.

Oh...

Right, kids, who's up
first for the cane?

- Shh. Papa!
- What?

We don't use the cane anymore.

The amount of times you were in trouble,

I thought you might have
liked a bit of revenge.

Well, times have changed.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

Can I help you?

Uh...

I was called up by the department.

Uh... seems to... be that you have

some IT problems here at the computer.

- I'm just...
- [TYPES]

I don't think that's true.

You're a very perceptive woman.

[LAUGHS]

I'm just having a bit of fun.

I'm Carlito. I'm Charlie's dad.

Oh!

- [LAUGHS]
- What's your name?

- Um, Sophie.
- Hi, Sophie.

She never said that her dad was in town.

She's very sick. She's
home very sick and, um,

she asked me to come in and
get some work for her,

bring it back, you know...

- Yeah.
- It's very kind of you.

Hey, we never stop being
parents, you know.

So, how long are you here for?

Long enough to want a beautiful woman

to maybe show me the sights.

I don't suppose you're doing any tours?

[LAUGHS] I might know a few good places.

Well, you can't keep
them all to yourself.

[LAUGHS] Not at all. [LAUGHS]

But first I've gotta get back and

make sure that Charlie's OK,

- uh, 'cause she's sick.
- You take your time.

And I'll be right outside,

planning our itinerary.

I look forward to it.

What?

She...

Do you want a hand out
the window? I can give you a lift.

I've gotta go through the door.

She saw me and now I've
gotta go... past... her.

Ugh!

[BIRDSONG]

[LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION]

[EXHALES]

Whichever you choose is fine.

It's option B.

Oh.

Right.

You're disappointed.

You normally make a
self-justifying speech

before you tell me what
you've decided, was all.

Harry, we are bad for one another.

If we were to share a kid,

we'd either end up k*lling one another

or in permanent rehab, neither
of which is good for that baby.

You're right.

- I am?
- Totally.

This way, we get to live our own lives.

And I can finally make my mom happy.

It's a good thing.

[MOBILE PHONE RINGS]

Sorry.

[SIGHS]

I knew you'd pick option B.

You did? Why?

[MOBILE PHONE RINGS]

Aren't doctors supposed
to answer their phones?

Just...

[SIGHS]

Yeah?

Hugh, I need you for an emergency.

I can't. I have a full
afternoon at the cockpit.

No-one calls it that.

Ask Ken. We all call it that.

Anyway, I've rescheduled
all your patients.

None of them were urgent.

You... You can't do that.

I can. Good Samaritan rules.

I've made you aware of the emergency.

- You can't refuse my help.
- That's not a rule.

The things you don't know
about being a doctor

never cease to amaze me.

[SIGHS]

Um, I have to...

Oh. Of course. Sure.

So, why did you know
I'd choose option B?

- Because you're Hugh Knight.
- Ah.

Why would you change?

You're gonna make a great mum.

Thank you.

I mean, it's bullshit. [LAUGHS]

This kid is lucky to have its
grandmother, that's all I can say.

But thank you.

[SIGHS]

Um...

Go. Go.

[BIRDSONG]

- MAN: One, two, three.
- [MAN YELPS]

No, stop, stop, stop, stop!
Back up, back up, back up!

Oh... You're right, mate.

Try not to move. We've got this.

[GROANS]

Gonna have to pack this wound.

Right, one of you blokes
must have an angle-grinder.

We need to cut him off without
removing this picket.

- Also, we need to secure this fence.
- OK. Go.

Am I gonna lose my arm?

That is not the plan.

- Ambos are on their way.
- Hmm. Hmm.

Gonna give you something for the pain.

I'll get you down off this fence.

So, how did this happen?

Oh, bloody horse threw me.

[EXHALES]

You really didn't need me for this.

I know, but you're
having fun, aren't you?

You took your time.

What?

You took your time.

[EXHALES] I'm much more relaxed now.

You're disgusting.

Why are you worried about her?

It's not like you're gonna work

at this little school forever.

I'm proud of my school.

I want you to gather your brothers,

back paddock, tonight.

You're not gonna make
us sing again, are you?

Just bring them, OK?

You must be missing your friends
all the way out here, Ivy.

Oh, Mum's pretty much my best friend.

You heard from her?

They're not allowed to make phone calls.

Ivy, can you go grab me the pickaxe?

- It's the pointy one.
- I know.

That's complicated.

It always is with Carlito.

- I'm glad he brought her.
- I'm not.

He's family. You're stuck with it.

Sooner you accept that, better.

[SIGHS]

Hey. You are here.

She's here!

We have been looking everywhere.

This is all our fault, Ajax.

God knows our baby was
the fruit of our sin.

But we're married.

And that...

That poor soul was with
us on our wedding day.

Hayles, God's not punishing us.

Clearly he is.

You're alive and the baby's alive.

For now.

Don't say that.

MIA: You're here.

I don't know whether to congratulate

you for getting out of bed

or tell you off for scaring
us all half to death.

Come on.

Dr. Knight, I know we just
saved that man's life

but do you really think this
is the place to celebrate?

Mmm... I just have to
tell you something.

Tell me later.

It's about Harriet.

Less OK.

She's pregnant.

- From when she...
- was here.

With me.

Oh.

But it's OK 'cause she's
going back to the US

and we've agreed that she'll just

tell it that I was a sperm donor.

But not me. It'll never know who I was.

It'll just be her baby.

And you're happy with this?

Definitely.

[SIGHS]

Did she even give you an option

to be a parent to this baby?

Of course she did.

And you chose not to be?

[SCOFFS]

We have to stop having sex.

No. Why?

I can't be with somebody who
would make that choice.

What happened to accepting
me for who I am?

I tried.

I really tried to be that person.

But I'm not.

Well...

I don't think I could be with somebody

who would abandon their own child.

What if I chose coparenting?

We still couldn't be together.

A baby, Hugh,

you don't even know how
you'd feel about that

or about Harriet once she had it.

I do. I feel that we would
k*ll each other, OK?

How's that good for a baby?

I don't know.

It's not my baby.

[CAR DOOR CLOSES]

[SIGHS]

I know something I can't say

but what I can say is

I don't think Hugh's the
right person for you.

Because he and Harriet
are having a baby?

You know?

And he's decided not to acknowledge it,

so I think we should give them
the same degree of privacy.

- Did you...
- Broke up.

- [CAR DOOR CLOSES]
- Right.

[SIGHS]

What's wrong?

Hayley.

Well, this all looks good.

So, how is the incision?

- It hurts.
- Yeah, I know.

But you should really

get up and try and walk around a bit.

Is that what you did last time

you had a C-section, Hugh?

Look, I'm no expert but, um,

if God was so mad at you,

why did he let you both live?

Now, you have a perfect little baby

that just needs a little bit of extra

help before you can take him home.

What if I'm a bad mum?

Well, you just hand him
to Ajax for a bit.

He'll get the hang of it.

[LAUGHS]

You really don't know anything about

looking after a baby, do you?

Not a thing.

You could do so much better than me.

You know why I think my
dad's actually here?

Because he didn't wanna
be left alone with Ivy?

Exactly.

Classic Carlito.

[SIGHS]

He can't stay.

OK.

I mean, I agree, but are you sure?

I'll tell him.

So, what really took you
so long to get here?

I was in the middle of a
full-blown drama with Sunshine...

and I didn't want to bring that here,

so she left me with Ivy.

Oh. And you brought her to me?

You always help me with these things.

Why can't you just be my dad for once?

You're like your mum.

You're clever, capable.

Every time I see you, I...

I see her more. [HALF-LAUGHS]

We were good family once.

We're still a good family.

Hey.

We're just a different kind of family.

It's really nice having you here.

Come here.

[LAUGHS]

Mmm!

Oh. Hayley looks happy.

Yeah, well, Hugh told
her to just, you know,

stop praying and just be with the baby.

Not in those words.

It was good words, whatever they were.

- And I've got news, OK?
- [GASPS]

- We've decided on a name.
- Finally.

He's called Jimmy Stark Knight.

[GASPS]

- Little Jim.
- Yeah.

Stark?

Yeah, Tony Stark, 'Iron Man'.

Yes, we'll talk about that.

My sons...

I want each of you

to take something of your dad's

and I want you to think of him

as you throw it into the fire.

Oh...

[SIGHS]

Let it be a bright light that

reflects his spirit and our loss...

And the thought that
renewal is possible.
