02x08 - Step in Time

[bunniefuu]

You've sustained severe kidney damage.

You're gonna need dialysis.
For the rest of your life.

Yes, I know dialysis is important.

I'll see you there.

Can you not be so stubborn?
You need to let me examine you.

You wanna look at something?

Take a good look in the mirror.

- You old prick.
- You wrote a book.

Yeah. Stupid.

I made it into an e-book
and a website for it.

All you have to do is push that button

- and it goes live.
- You're beautiful.

Are you coming onto me?

N-No.

I'm going to lie down and

you're going to shimmer me.

It's glitter in this tub.

MATT: You like her, Ajax?

You want Millie?

And you.

- We should break up?
- No, that's not what I meant.

Yes, it is.

PENNY: Drug test. Lick this.

Hopefully not the last time I
hear those words this evening.

[LAUGHS]

In that moment, you had to decide

whether to believe me or not.

- You didn't.
- I should have trusted you.

I'm sorry.

Goodnight.

Hugh.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

MAN ON RADIO: We've
got Geoff on the line,

playing the Whyhope FM's Quiz Hour.

The question is in which town

would you find the Big Merino?

- It's Goulburn.
- Go ahead, caller.

SECOND MAN ON RADIO:
Merino. Is that a fruit?

- Oh, come on, you drongo.
- Clock is ticking, Geoff.

[CLOCK ON RADIO TICKS]

[TENSE MUSIC]

- Coffs Harbour?
- That's incorrect. [LAUGHS]

I think you're thinking
of the Big Banana.

Better luck next time.

And now let's kick on the next hour

of commercial-free easy listening

with a classic track.

- You're on Whyhope FM.
- [ROCK SONG PLAYS ON RADIO]

Oh.

I think someone just
walked over my grave.

AJAX: Mum? Have you seen my r*fle?

It's in the shed where you left it.

Not something you
should be losing, Ajax.

Hi.

How are you this...

Day?

HAYLEY: Fine, thank you.

Uh, do you want to help?

Extra hands welcome.

I can't. I've gotta help
Matt with the back burn.

Right. Don't start a
fire you can't put out.

Bye.

So, how long's this freezing
out going to go on for?

You know, he didn't do anything.

But he wanted to.

If I'd been held to all
my thought crimes,

I would have been in
trouble a long time ago.

PENNY: Will you keep us
posted from Melbourne, Max?

MAX: Yeah. Dad's already

had the PlayStation set up

in his recovery room.

Sweet, I'll get online too.

You don't have a PlayStation.

You have a credit card?

KEN: Floyd's really gonna miss Max.

Endings. New beginnings.

Some endings to beginnings

that never really got to

[PHONE RINGS]

Whyhope Clinic and
Hospital, Betty speaking.

Unconscious. Male.

How far off are you?

Okay.

Sorry, it's who?

[TENSE MUSIC]

[SIREN BLARES]

- Mmm.
- [SIREN CONTINUES TO BLARE]

Well, call me when you get
back from town, all right?

Jim?

Passing motorist found
him slumped in the car.

Mia! Get onto the renal unit in Orange.

Ask for Dr Chang. Get Jim's
latest records sent across.

[TENSE MUSIC]

Heart rate's reverted to sinus rhythm.

- Respiratory rate is .
- He's still hypertensive.

His potassium levels
are dangerously high.

Let's treat his K and stabilise him.

- Acute renal failure.
- We need to get him dialysed.

[SIGHS] Which will be interesting

seeing we don't have a dialysis machine.

Let's stabilise him first. Fly
him on to Orange if we have to.

- Mmm, okay.
- MIA: I spoke to doctor Chang.

Jim hasn't been in for five days.

She said they've been
trying to call him.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

What are you trying to do?
Stubborn yourself to death?

[MACHINE BEEPS STEADILY]

[GENTLE MUSIC]

MATT: Charlie's eating this carrot.

Right next to me.

Like, right in my ear, just crunching,

and I ask her to stop
and she gets offended.

Then we have this massive barney

and so I want an objective opinion.

I put this poll on Facebook,
just asking my mates, you know,

"is it annoying to chew a carrot
right in your husband's ear?"

And everyone's like, "sh*t,
yeah, it's really annoying."

Because it is.

And then I show her the poll

and now I'm the bad guy.

Seriously, mate. [GRUNTS]

Don't ever get married.

- Oh, sorry.
- Don't worry about it.

You and Hayley speaking yet?

No.

That's good.

Bit of space, time to think.

I guess.

What happened to the Christmas trees?

[GENTLE MUSIC]

What the hell?

And there's another one gone from here.

And there.

Some of these trees are
worth over bucks.

Took us years to grow.

When were you gonna start selling them?

Not for another month,
the thieving pricks.

Come on, we're going to town.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

- HUGH: How's our patient?
- Little sore but I'm okay.

Look, you're both...

Probably angry at me.

No, not angry.

MERYL: Just worried.

I just couldn't do it anymore.

I can't eat, I can't sleep.
I'm tired. I'm nauseous.

And the whole
relentlessness of the thing.

The problem is, Dad, you've
got a very rare blood type.

And with your particular antibodies,

you're a hard match for a transplant.

- That's encouraging.
- Look,

you haven't even been on
the wait list that long

so, you know, it's time to dig deep

and try and make peace with dialysis.

- Or...
- Or I'll die.

I know.

We'll do it together, won't we?

KEN: Miss Wilson?

- WOMAN: Thank you.
- Take care.

Betty.

You're a woman.

Last time I checked.

How do they like to be, you know...

Approached?

For... directions?

- Advice? A fight?
- A date.

Oh. Um, well,

sometimes I think spontaneity is nice.

You know, just to take the pressure off.

A casual meeting up is a
nice way to start, I think.

- Oh, yes. I like that.
- I'll send you my invoice.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

_

_

"LALSUCKS?"

'Love at Light Speed' sucks.

"Charlie Pereira is a hack writer.

"Her book was sh*t."

"Totally agree."

- Oh, my God.
- [KNOCK AT DOOR]

- Hi, Debbie.
- Now, school hall for the fifth?

Ah, already booked for
parent/teacher night.

- Perfect. And the budget?
- [COMPUTER PINGS]

Ah...

_

- Will do.
- Today?

Today.

Now, the committee's morning tea,

fruitcake or cream buns?

- Are scones perhaps less risky?
- Yeah, let's go with scones.

- You'll approve the purchase order?
- [COMPUTER PINGS]

_

Yep. Will do.

You won't tell Gretel I've gone
behind her back, will you?

She always wants to make that
wretched gluten-free fig loaf.

I was like, "Ugh!"

Honestly, everyone knows
she's faking being a coeliac.

No wonder Gerald left her.

I don't think that's why
her husband left her, but...

You always insist on seeing
the best in people, Charlie.

That's... ooh.

Anyway, good luck for
your reading tonight.

- You must be looking forward to it.
- I...

- [COMPUTER PINGS]
- Was.

HUGH: No. Thank you, Dr Chang.

Yes, Jim's being prepped now.

His wife Meryl will travel
with him on the plane.

That's right.

Okay.

Talk again.

Bye.

Did you know that he
was skipping dialysis?

If I'd known, I would have
hauled him there myself

by his larynx.

You can't blame him, really.

Having to drive three hours to Orange,

hooked up for four,

repeat every other day.

It's brutal.

You're a blood match, aren't you?

I can't be his donor.

- Why not?
- You know how risky surgery can be.

There's a one in , chance I'll die.

About the same as a car accident.

It's a pretty safe and quick
procedure these days.

I'd be out of action for weeks.

How'd you go being down a doctor?

And there's the risk of anaesthetic.

The chance I could pick
up a secondary infection

whilst in hospital,

not to mention the fact that his
body might reject the organ.

But organ donation is so important.

People are afraid of it
when they needn't be.

You could lead by example.

Completely agree.

You do it.

I'm not a blood match.

Right. Well...

they haven't even done the
donor matching test yet

so it's all hypothetical.

We'll just keep forcing
him to do dialysis.

Because Jim responds so well to force.

[SIGHS] Yes.

Just need to find an altruistic donor.

- Who's not me.
- Yes.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

[GENTLE MUSIC]

MAN: Hey, Ken.

MATT: Well, it is illegal under
state law. I looked it up.

Look, I wish I could help, mate,

but I'm on my way to a
violate a restraining order

and then to a break and enter.

This is my livelihood, Darren.

Charlie and I were banking
on the extra money.

Look, just try and relax. Okay?

I'm sure the whole town isn't out

nicking your Christmas trees.

[CAR HORN BEEPS]

I'll look into it, mate.

That was Mum.

They're still in Orange
for Dad's dialysis.

- [SIGHS]
- Everything okay?

I can't believe it.

Someone's eaten my sandwich.

Oh, no. That is shocking.

Who would do that?
It's got my name on it.

- Animals.
- Great. Guess I'll have crackers.

H-h-here's a thought.

That I'm having at this exact moment.

I was just about to go to the
cafe and grab something,

if you want to join me. My shout.

If I have enough money.
It's not like I've checked.

- Or not. Or, like, whatevs.
- Sure. That sounds great.

Okay.

MATT: Motion sensors.

Infrared cameras. Hydrated lime.

And we need to get some
red food colouring.

- Are we baking?
- You'll see.

No one steals from Matt
Knight and gets away with it.

Watch and learn, young one.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

This is lovely.

It's nice to do things
spontaneously sometimes.

Ooh, God.

Do you want to kiss me, Ken?

I...

I don't want to not kiss you.

Go on, then.

- What, now?
- Be spontaneous.

Okay.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

- I like you.
- I like you too.

[GENTLE MUSIC CONTINUES]

Matt.

CHARLIE: "But Banzina knew
they didn't have much time.

"If they didn't get
back to the tempus pod

"before the end of the lunar cycle,

"they'd never make it
back in time to stop...

ALL: The Plygon invasion.

"Banzina reached up to
Lord Skulkin and cried,

"'in the name of Uquandria
and her seven sides..."

ALL: Die, alien beast!

"And smoked off his pustuled head."

[APPLAUSE]

Thank you all for coming.

You've inspired me to write again.

Book two coming your way.

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

- I can't believe Matt never showed.
- Men. Mmm?

Yeah.

You're amazing.

I do my best.

I would never have thought of

an eight-headed octo-slayer.

You will.

- Start writing.
- Thank you.

Are you really going to write a sequel?

Maybe.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

I'm a real writer.

With fans.

Come here. Hi.

Mwah.

Follow your dreams, Dora.

Follow your dreams.

Yeah.

Matt.

He's still in trouble.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

Wonderful. It's here.

Scribble here and here.

Something else?

- Just curious.
- k*lled the cat.

Maybe so,

but a certain cat I know

had several delicious bowls

of cream at her disposal

and now appears to be left

with nothing but fur balls.

Are you talking about Toke and Hugh?

I'm merely ruminating on cream.

But if you wanted to tell me what

happened, I'd be happy to listen.

- I honestly don't know.
- [SIGHS] What a pity.

Please don't feel sorry for me.

I don't feel sorry for you.

I just find you and Hugh
utterly infuriating

when you're this polite to each other.

We're not polite to each other.

Okay.

So, I have been very busy
performing miracles.

- A home dialysis machine?
- For Jim.

How?

Strings. Pulled. Many.

Oh, this is great.

Now we can monitor him
and Meryl will be all over it.

Problem solved. Your kidneys intact.

This is usually a word
I reserve for myself,

but genius.

- Thanks.
- You're welcome.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

So, Mia did a long renal
prac in the city.

She's, uh, trained right up and

can show you both how to use it.

That's all the liquid you
can have today, okay, Jim?

Anything else, you're over your limit.

MATT: Poor bugger
can't even have a beer.

So, Mum, you've gotta stay on
him with this, okay? We all do.

If he starts skipping this,

he's gonna keep
collapsing and end up dead.

Yes, I understand.

Okay. So, most patients complete

four bag exchanges a day.

- Mm-hm.
- The old fluid drains out first.

We flush the line and
fill with the new fluid.

- Ta-da.
- Oh, exciting.

Now, um, avoid touching the
connector with your hands.

You don't want to get an infection.

Give it a try.

Um...

- Oh.
- Can I help? He's struggling.

It's important Jim learns.

So...

how many trees were stolen?

Don't worry, Dad. We're onto it.
We're gonna get those guys.

Yeah, good man.

- Jim. You right?
- Bit of practice and he'll be a pro.

And I'll be back every day
for the first week to help.

Yeah, no rush.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

- MATT: About the reading...
- No, it's fine.

- There's a lot going on.
- Well, I'll make it up to you.

Tomorrow, a surprise
gift coming your way.

No more gifts.

Between the flowers and the typewriter,

it's bordering on overkill.

- What?
- That wasn't you?

- Yes?
- Liar.

- Then who was it?
- Secret admirer?

It came to the house.

That's really creepy.

Well, I'll have a look around.

Better keep the doors
closed for now, yeah?

Brave farmer.

Takes sexy principal.

Being principal is a lot harder

than I thought it was gonna be.

- It's lonely at the top.
- Mmm.

Is your top lonely?

Hello, top.

Can you breathe?

- It's a really good way to die.
- [LAUGHS]

[GENTLE MUSIC]

[SNORES]

[GENTLE MUSIC]

[CONTINUES SNORING]

You deserve better, Jim Knight.

[GENTLE MUSIC, SNORING CONTINUES]

[CHARLIE TYPES] It was dark.

[COMPUTER PINGS]

"Hashtag LALSUCKS.

"How can aliens visit Dargania

when it doesn't have hydrogen?"

Whatever.

It was dangerous.

- But...
- [COMPUTER PINGS]

"How can Banzina fly an Orbita

when she's scared of flying?

"Hashtag holes everywhere."

Because she's brave, idiot.

[SIGHS]

Oh.

I just had no idea that

dialysis was so onerous.

Your father's a man from the bush.
I mean, he's miserable.

He's tied up to this robot.

Well, let's talk palliative care, then,

because that's where
he's headed if he stops.

But can't we bump him up on
the organ recipient list?

It doesn't work like that, Mum.
It's very tightly regulated.

Darling, it's me

and I know you can be
convincing when called upon.

We're cast from the
same mould, remember?

Isn't there someone that you could,

I don't know, persuade?

I see.

I will give him my kidney.

How do we start?

All right.

His

blood type is O.

Yours is... A.

That's it? How utterly disappointing.

- I'll do it.
- Sorry, mate, you're under .

- What about Matt?
- I can't divulge his patient details.

- What's your blood type?
- Don't get carried away.

Hugh's a renowned surgeon.

We can't have him risking his

life when so many depend on him.

We'll find someone else.

Hey, what's your blood type?

Mum already called. I'm not a match.

Do you think Dad's gonna die
if he doesn't get a kidney?

Not if he does what he's told.

Here.

Squeeze all of this into the lime.

I'm making a non-toxic
paint for the trees.

The pines will glow
pink for about a month

and then they'll fade. It's
a good deterrent, huh?

Do you think you spent more than
the trees are actually worth?

It's the principle, smart-arse.

[CHAINSAW ROARS]

- Go! Go!
- It's over there!

- Ajax!
- [LAUGHS] Oh, yeah!

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

Damn it!

[GENTLE MUSIC]

[EXHALES]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Hi. Sorry. Meryl's at Bridge.

She forgot her card-holder.

I'll just get it.

How you feeling?

Like a pincushion.

You look a little less
yellow and bloated.

Thanks.

Amazing that such a small thing
is giving you a new life.

Oh, I don't know.

Anyway...

Did you sort things out
with that boy of mine yet?

He's getting around
here like a sad fish.

Better get back to Meryl.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

[DOOR CLOSES]

[MACHINE BEEPS STEADILY]

[GENTLE MUSIC CONTINUES]

PENNY: Ken's out. What about Betty?

Nope. Wrong blood count.
Has hypertension.

What about these?

Meryl's recruited half the
CWA by the look of it.

B. AB. AB. B.

Nothing.

Jim's an impossible match.

We are running out of options.

[CLICKS TONGUE]

Can I crossmatch you now?

Tomorrow. I'm tired.

You forgot me.

I want to help Jim.

- What blood type are you?
- O negative.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

[AJAX SOBS]

[GENTLE MUSIC CONTINUES]

Are you okay?

Do you think it's over?

For good?

Ah... I don't know.

Hayley's pretty black and white.

I thought Christians were
supposed to be forgiving.

I think it might be a bit
past that point, mate.

You're really not good at this.

Well, I just think that marriage

is all about forgiveness
and flexibility.

You guys are tripping
at the first hurdle.

She wants to give Dad her kidney.

Wow.

But it's gonna be
dangerous, though, right?

What if something happened?

I could lose my dad or the woman I love.

It sucks.

I just want everything
to go back to normal.

I just wish I'd never glittered Millie.

Yeah, you definitely shouldn't
have glittered Millie.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

- Hey, sexpot.
- Mia.

As much as I find your smooth

skin and cinnamon-smelling hair

extremely compelling

and enjoy our witty banter,

I'm not the sort of person

who can pull off a secret
workplace romance.

What?

I have an empire here

that I have built over many
years at great personal cost.

Do you understand?

- No.
- No?

I don't accept that as a
reason to not be together.

Then I have no choice but to insist

our fledgling romance is over.

As of now.

We're seeing each other, Ken.

End of story.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

CHARLIE: Banzina needs to
enlist Empress Hargene

to recapture the crystal moon.

How would she do it?

A letter?

A mind message.

No.

She's direct.

She'd just request a meeting.

Your worship,

I, Banzina of Epsilon,

have travelled across the galaxy

to request your assistance.

No!

To beg for your help.

Hello?

Hey!

Stop!

Stop!

[WHIMSICAL MUSIC]

MIA: This is stage two of the testing.

We'll be checking blood
supply to the kidneys,

number of arteries,
veins, that sort of thing.

And if you pass this, we'll refer
you to the transplant unit.

Okay, Hayley, here we go.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

- Is that?
- [SIGHS]

- Don't tell me.
- It is.

Hayley, we're going to stop the scan.

I'm very sorry.

You have what's called renal agenesis.

Well, what does that mean?

Am I gonna die?

No. No.

Look, it just means that you

were born with only one kidney.

Highly unusual but quite
clever of you, really.

There are worse organs to be missing

and, up until now, you
didn't even notice.

That's good to know.

What now?

- All right. You can crossmatch me.
- Goody.

It's not enough that he's
giving me weird gifts?

This is our land.

How would a troll know where you live?

No, you're getting confused.

This is my secret admirer, not my troll.

- Well, why are you being trolled?
- About my book.

That I'm not getting the sci-fi genre,

that my aliens are unbelievable,
blah, blah, blah.

You better step back.

Hello, Frank is it?

Whyhope Police. Come out, please.

- What if he has a g*n?
- I have a g*n.

- Have you ever used it?
- Well, no, but I know how to.

Well, training and real
life are very different.

Can you stop undermining me?

I'm gonna count to three.

Tell him you have a taser.

- Can you go and stand over there?
- Yes.

- I'm actually trained for this.
- Okay.

One.

Two.

Two and a half.

Three. I'm coming in.

[WHIMSICAL MUSIC]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

This is Francesca Macaulay. Frank.

I can't believe it's you.

You know each other?

Uh, only from the book signing.

What are you doing here?
Did you leave me all those gifts?

Yes.

I'm a pastry chef's
assistant from Bowral.

I bussed it here.

I love sci-fi and I
really loved your book.

Okay.

I didn't know how else to tell you.

Thank you?

I made you something.

[SIGHS]

Charlie, did you want to press charges?

Nah. I can take it from here. Thank you.

It's Malbaria. From your book.

[WHIMSICAL MUSIC]

Well, you two have a good day.

I really gotta read this book.

You should come up to the
house for a cup of tea.

Get to see your house.

You get to see my porch.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

MERYL: What are you doing here?

Jim had some more energy this morning.

- I actually think it's working.
- Great.

I came to tell you that I
passed the donor matching.

Oh! Hugh.

- Let's go and tell him, huh?
- Okay.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

- What's this?
- Where is he?

- I... I don't know.
- [SIGHS]

Hey. What's up?

It's like all of Whyhope's
taking the piss.

They're obviously telling each other

Knight's giving away
free Christmas trees.

Come and get yours.

- [PHONE BEEPS]
- _

Oh, there's another one.

That's it. I'm calling the cops.

[CHAINSAW ROARS]

Forget that.

Boys, hop in.

[LAUGHS]

Hey. You sure you're up to this?

- Never felt more alive.
- [ENGINE STARTS]

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

CHARLIE: I can drive you to
the bus stop if you like.

FRANK: That'd be great. Thanks.

I ran away once. When I was six.

I made it all the way to the front gate.

Hey.

This is your second book, isn't it?

Yeah, but it's not for
public consumption.

- It's really good.
- Really?

Gosh, this is so exciting.

Well, I'm glad someone thinks so.

I mean, obviously you'll
redo the council stuff.

Well, why? What's wrong with it?

Well, now that Banzina
is a council member,

she has a conflict of interest
being Zalanda's half-sister.

There's, like, no way she
can endorse her for VP.

No, but that's the point.
She can't see how unethical it is.

She's flawed. All the
best characters are.

But she's your heroine.

You'll lose your audience if
they think she's corrupt.

Plus, if the Project find out,

she'll be, like, totally
ex*cuted on the spot.

Yeah, exactly.

Peril and danger for our
protagonist to overcome.

I think you can do better, Charlie.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

Where's Hugh? The
renal unit just called.

There's a kidney for Jim.

[PHONE RINGS]

[SIGHS]

Penny.

Deceased donor?

Are you sure it's a match?

- I'm positive.
- HUGH ON PHONE: Unbelievable.

I'm off the hook.

You mean, "I'm relieved
my dad's going to live?"

That too.

Listen, the organ's being flown
from Far North Queensland

to the transplant centre in Brisbane.

You've only got two hours to get
Jim onto the connecting flight.

All right, get our plane on standby.
Tell them he's on his way.

Okay, we've gotta find him. Now.

MERYL: Oh.

[PHONE RINGS]

Come on, come on, come on. Pick up.

You sure he's with Matt and Ajax?

- No, but it's my best guess.
- [PHONE CONTINUES TO RING]

Maybe he just doesn't want to answer.

Oh. No, they're there.

Where?

I'm just gonna run these
down to the post-box.

Honesty is the foundation
of any relationship

and, although I don't
yet know what this,

you should know that I
threw your sandwich out

so I could take you to lunch.

I'm not proud of my deception

or of my behaviour since then.

I pushed away because...

I was afraid.

My name is Ken Liu

and I work here.

This is Mia Holston and
she also works here.

We're falling for each other and...

That is okay.

[APPLAUSE]

I'd kiss you right now but I feel

like that might be a bit much.

[APPLAUSE]

[GENTLE MUSIC]

Oi! Dad! I see it! That way!

Woo!

Woo!

These things flip, you know.

Argh!

Jim! Matt!

Well, this is Ajax's. They can't be far.

[SIGHS] sh*t.

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

Pull over!

[TOOTS HORN]

AJAX: Woo!

Woo!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[INSTRUMENTAL VERSION OF 'FRIDAY
ON MY MIND' BY THE EASYBEATS]

MATT: Reckon you can sh**t his tyre?

No, I'm not that good a sh*t.

[INSTRUMENTAL VERSION OF 'FRIDAY
ON MY MIND' BY THE EASYBEATS]

Hey!

Don't throw the torch, you idiot!

[LAUGHS]

[INSTRUMENTAL VERSION OF 'FRIDAY
ON MY MIND' BY THE EASYBEATS]

Woo!

[INSTRUMENTAL VERSION OF 'FRIDAY
ON MY MIND' BY THE EASYBEATS]

Take it, Dad!

[INSTRUMENTAL VERSION OF 'FRIDAY
ON MY MIND' BY THE EASYBEATS]

Let me take you on the left, sunshine.

MATT: We're gonna die!

Woo!

Yeah! Go, Dad!

That's how it's done.

You've stolen a tree from
the wrong family, son.

That's true. I have.

So, how do you want to proceed here?

Well, that's the question,
really, isn't it?

[AJAX COCKS g*n]

[GENTLE MUSIC]

So Banzina only

pretends to endorse Zalanda.

In order to fool the Jardinians

- into thinking she's corrupt.
- Ooh!

But really she's working
behind the scenes

on Commander Skyborn's
campaign in order to secure...

The Katsik alive.

Yes!

Ah!

[COMPUTER PINGS]

Oh, have you blocked them?

You can use the 'ignore' command.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

- This is a citizen's arrest.
- They're just trees.

[LAUGHS]

My kids have never had a real one.

- sh**t him. Yeah.
- What?

- Really?
- Really?

- [LAUGHS]
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

What are you doing here?

What's going on?

Put that down, Ajax.

Dad, you're getting a new kidney.

- What?
- Not mine?

- Craig?
- Hugh?

There's a deceased donor.

You've been bumped up the list

because you're the next best match.

But we've gotta get you to
Brisbane. A plane's waiting.

They're putting it in him today?

Yeah. Donor's in ICU. The
transplant team's waiting.

I'll travel with you

but, as soon as we get there,
you're going straight into theatre.

- Meryl?
- I'll get a commercial flight.

- I'll meet you at the hospital.
- Yep.

No more dialysis.

It's a new sh*t at life.

It's your only sh*t seeing
you trashed the machine.

I'll be there, love.

Love you, Dad.

[PHONE RINGS]

- MATT: Take care, old man.
- Hugh Knight.

Come on, let's go.

No, we're just about to get on... No.

No.

No, you tell them to wait.

Ye...

No, no.

Oh, I understand.

Thank you.

[SIGHS] We're too late.

They've given it to someone else.

Well, what's that mean?

What it means, Jim, there's

only one donor match left.

Who?

Me.

You'd do that?

Apparently so.
