Big Sky (1997–1999): Season 1, Episode 32 - Blind Spot - full transcript
(Gentle music)
- Okay, Jack, this time
meet me out in the shore.
(Chris groans)
There's something wrong with my eye.
I think it might be serious.
- I'm afraid you have a detached
retina in your right eye.
Now, without treatment,
either by surgery or laser,
the detached retina can't
survive for very long.
It will eventually result
in blindness in that eye.
There are several methods
of reattaching the retina,
and in the majority of
cases, it's successful.
(Knuckles tapping)
- Lauren, hi.
- Hi.
- How are you?
- Good, good.
- Are you after Chris?
He's in the shower.
- Yeah, I just came to see if he needed
a lift to the hospital.
- [Robbie] Oh.
- I mean, it isn't
really out of my way.
- Oh, well, I'm taking him.
- Well, I guess I'll be off then.
Wish him good luck.
- Will do.
- Thanks, bye.
- See ya.
Have you forgotten anything?
- No, stop fussin', will ya?
- Well, I'll be back straight
after surgery, okay?
Good luck.
It'll be fine.
- Yeah, of course it will.
(Glass clatters)
Need a hand there, mate?
- No, I'm all right.
I gotta get used to doing
things for myself.
Oh thanks.
- I'm Chris.
- Max.
What ya in for?
- A detached retina, you?
- Corneal transplant.
What odds they give ya?
- 90%.
- They gave me 80.
- How'd ya go?
- Well, somebody's gotta make
up the other 20, don't they?
(Somber music) They
had a couple of guys,
but the little buggers wouldn't take.
Then the other eye went bad as well,
so now they're gonna have
to take that one out, too.
All this modern
technology, you'd expect
they can do anything, don't ya?
But now it's like lookin' through
a bloody shower curtain all the time.
(Chuckles)
When they were showing
me the glass eyes,
the nurse knocked the box over.

- [Lexie] Hey, hey, hey.
- Hey, how ya goin'?
What do you reckon?
- [Lauren] Oh, jimbo.
- I got you some truffies, too.
- Ah, thanks for tryin' 'em first.
- Hey, maybe get one of
those naughty nurses
that you read about.
- That you read about where, penthouse?
- How are you feeling?
- How's the new guy?
- Cameron?
Well, he seems all right.
He made a big deal about not trying
to take your place for two weeks.
As if he could.
- [Lauren] He's brought
us a few new clients.
We got a regular run to
Bathurst three times a week.
- He's ex-air force.
Scotty'll be salutin' him
by the end of the week.
(Group chuckles)
- It'll do him good.
(Airplane rumbling)
- See that car?
- [Scotty] Yeah?
- What do you reckon we give
the driver a bit of a haircut?
- Fly that low?
- You got another way?
- It's illegal.
- They gotta catch us first.
(Airplane rumbling)
(Laughs) Lucky day, partner.
Check those two out.
(Scotty chuckles)
Man, chicks get right
off on bein' buzzed.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, of course it works better
when you front up later in uniform,
but it's still a guaranteed leg up
if you wanna chase 'em up.
- No, I'm okay, man.
I've just met someone.
- Oh well, suit yourself.
Hang onto your nuts.
(Airplane rumbling) (Suspenseful music)
Yeah! (Scotty laughs)
(Tires screeching) (Women screaming)
(Car horn honking)
(Men laughing)
Ya ready?
Take it!
- Eh? Whoa!
(Cameron chuckling)
Whoa! - Oh!
- Whoa! (Branches cracking)
- Oh! (Laughing)
- Thanks for comin'.
- Yeah well, hang in there, mate.
And don't let 'em, like, shave you.
- It's an eye operation.
- [Lexie] Just get better.
We'll see you tomorrow.
- I'll be with you in a minute.
You'll be fine.
I'll be thinking of you.
Here, I thought this
might cheer you up.
- I don't want you or the guys
to come and see me again.
- It's no problem.
- I don't want you to.
- [Nurse] Dr. salloway,
call for you on line...
- You let me help the other night.
What's changed?
- Just go now, please, Lauren.
(Somber music)
What are you lookin' at?
- (Laughs) Man, I've never
done anything like it.
It was unreal.
- Well, that's the sorta stuff
you should use big sky for, mate.
Training ground, take a few risks
before you move on to the majors.
Young hotshot like you,
you wanna fast-track
your career, don't ya?
- Yeah, for sure.
- Yeah, so ya gotta look
out for number one.
Suck all the experience
outta this ya can
before ya climb the next rung.
Get serious about it, Scotty, yeah?
Start to build up some contacts,
let people know you're available.
- [Scotty] What are all these anyway?
- Biological samples.
Some lab in Sydney does testing
on the local water or something.
- Lab experiments?
And they just leave 'em here?
- Yeah, it's the same
as any other freight,
only the paperwork
goes through the mail.
- Well, is there any danger,
like, bacteria and stuff?
- (Laughs) Hell no.
But, just to be on the safe
side, don't drop it, okay?
I mean, you didn't wanna
have kids anyway, did ya?
(Scotty chuckles)
(Somber music)
- [Nurse] You'll start
feeling drowsy soon.
The orderly will be along in a minute
to take you to theater.
- That lady that was in
before, nice perfume.
Is that your girlfriend?
- Boss.
- Why'd you wanna to tell
her to take a hike for?
- None of your business.
- Mate, I did the same
thing the day the doc
gave me the bad news.
I went home, I kicked the
cat, I yelled at Deirdre.
Geez, that was stupid
'cause I had to get
on my hands and knees and
beg her to drive a truck,
and that's really sayin' somethin'
because she's the worst syncro masher.
(Chuckles)
She can't even get into
second without a crunch.
But the money won't come
in by itself, will it?
- If you're trying to
make a point, forget it.
- Mate, I've been there.
- Look, no offense, but
just because you're
in the unlucky 20% doesn't mean
you know everything, all right?
- Just tryin' to help.
- I don't need any
help, I'm doin' fine.
- Yeah, great.
- Shay!
Who's that bloke?
- He's a customer.
- [Roley] So what's he doin' out here?
Get 'em off my tarmac.
- Roley, I told him that, you know,
but he said he wanted
to wait for Cameron
and he didn't wanna wait in the foyer.
- Well tell him again.
It's against regulations
for members of the public
to hang around this place.
- Roley, I did, you know?
But he said he wanted to pick
up some cargo personally.
- So, why can't he do it
inside like everyone else?
- Look, they're here now anyway.
(Airplane rumbling)
- Vic, how are ya?
- Fine, and yourself?
- Excellent.
Got your goodies.
This is Scotty Gibbs, he was doin'
the run with me. - Hey.
- [Cameron] Vic beecher,
kettlewell labs.
- Pleasure.
- Yeah.
So, what are these samples anyway?
- [Vic] Soil, water, live stuff
we do, various types of...
- Scotty!
Here, now.
- Being summoned, excuse me.
- Got yourself a little helper already.
- Oh yeah, he's keen.
Wants to be where the action is.
- [Scotty] What?
- Have a look at this.
Scratched up buggery.
The aerial's torn completely off.
What the hell do ya think
you were doin' out there?
- It was just a bit of an accident.
- What sort of accident?
- Look, can we
talk about this tomorrow?
I've sorta gotta be somewhere.
- Well you're sorta gonna - excuse me.
- Have to be late, aren't ya?
Because I wanna know what
happened and I wanna know now.
So how about you start
at the beginning.
- How about you calm down, pal?
Got the aircraft back in
one piece, didn't we?
- Only just. What the hell do
you think you were doin'...
- Now hang on, hang on, hang on.
You're the mechanic, right?
- Senior engineer, yes.
- So how about you fix the planes
and don't try and tell
us how to fly 'em.
- Hey, Cameron, don't...
- Scotty, it's all right.
I'll sort this out,
you go on your date.
(Airplane rumbling)
- The flower shows are
all about who you know.
Oh, I'm not in it for the money,
although I could do with it.
The first prize winner
gets their garden
photographed by garden world magazine.
You know, the honor, the prestige,
the reputation, that gives you.
- Mm, I can't imagine.
- I ask you, have you ever
seen a more perfect camellia?
How they could judge it only second.
(Plane rumbles)
Oh.
What's happening?
- It's okay, don't panic.
It's just a bit of crosswind.
Have you got your seatbelt on?
- Ah, mm-hmm.
Oh, oh, the camellias!
- Sorry, we got a bit of an updraft
as we were touching down.
Is everything okay?
- No, it's not.
After all the high altitude,
this has to happen.
(Somber music)
- I can walk there.
- Mr. manning.
- Good luck, mate.
- [Chris] Yeah, yeah.
- [Shay] Oh, prezzy.
Who'd ya get it from?
- Me, well, it's for Chris.
It's an eye patch.
We had this joke about pirates.
- That's sweet, but why
didn't ya give it to him?
- Lauren, can I see you?
- Oh, can it wait, roley?
I'm just on my way out.
- No, it can't.
(Couple breathing heavily)
- That was unexpected.
- Yeah, sorry.
- Don't be.
I'm all for spontaneity.
Maybe next time we'll make
it to your place. (Chuckles)
Beast. (Chuckles)
Oh sorry, Scotty, I've gotta get home.
- What, again?
You didn't make it home
last night either.
- Can't be helped.
- Why don't you just
stay for an hour or so?
- Leave it, Scotty.
- What, is it someone else?
- (Chuckles) If you
wanna put it that way.
- Well, this isn't a joke.
- I don't know about that.
My husband might agree
with you, though.
- Your what?
- [Roley] This bloke's a real cowboy.
- His air force record
was very impressive.
- Those things are just PR.
Makes me wonder why he really quit.
Did you call them?
- Don't tell me how to
hire a pilot, roley.
- I've got a mate there
I could talk to.
- This is my responsibility, not yours.
I'll deal with the problem.
By the sounds of it, you've done enough
to rock the boat already.
- A pilot does that much
damage to an aircraft,
I've got every right to tell him
exactly what I think of him.
- And it's my job now to deal with it.
I'll talk to him.
Just try and stay out of
each other's way, okay?
This is the last thing
I need right now.
- I'll let ya know what
I find out about him.
- Roley, I've asked you...
- Lauren, we're all worried
about Chris, not just you.
(Somber music)
(Max snoring)
- I'm a dead man.
He'll kill me.
- How's he gonna find out?
I'm not gonna tell him.
- Yeah, what if he guesses, huh?
- He won't, he never does.
- What, you've done this before?
Aw!
- I get lonely, is that a crime?
Not that he cares.
- Look, I don't wanna be
any part of a revenge trip
on your husband, all right?
- Didn't we just have a good time?
- No.
Yes, look, that's not the point.
- Scotty, I like you, I'd
like to keep seeing you.
If you have a problem with that,
it's your problem, not mine.
(Scotty laughs)
(Soft ominous music)
I'll call you.
- No, look, don't bother.
Don't, Linda, Linda!
Linda, don't!
Linda!
(Airplane roaring)
Ya know, I can't believe
she didn't tell me.
- Well, ya know what they
say about older women.
They don't tell, they don't swell,
and they're grateful as hell.
- (Snorts) She's not that old.
- Well, just lie back and enjoy it.
- I can't, what about her husband?
- Ah, what kinda limp dick loser's he
if she's out cruisin' bars?
If he had any kind of
cojones she'd be at home.
Anyway, he's probably
doing the same thing
with his secretary.
Mate, ya don't get
anywhere playin' it safe.
- No, I suppose not.
- Speaking of which, you know
there's big opportunities
out there for a pilot
like you who's not afraid
to take a few risks.
- Yeah?
- Yep, and ya gotta be
prepared to skate close
to the edge maybe, even
over it occasionally,
but there's big money up for
grabs for the right person.
- What exactly are you getting at?
- (Chuckles) Mate, I'm
settin' up my own business
and I need a partner, and I had
you picked out from day one.
- Hey, don't fiddle.
How's it feel?
- Oh, it's all right, it's a bit sore.
- The kids wanted to come. (Chuckles)
Anything for a day off school.
Mum sends her love.
- Thanks.
- I thought Lauren or one of the others
from work would have called.
- Manning, Chris manning.
He was scheduled to be
operated on yesterday.
- [Nurse] Yes.
- Well, I was just
wondering how it went.
- Are you a member of the family?
- [Lauren] No, but I...
- I'm sorry, we can't
give out that information
unless you're a family member.
Would you like to leave a message?
- No, thank you.
- [Nurse] Visiting hours are from 10...
- Yeah, yeah, I know,
thank you very much.
- Hey, you wanted to see me?
- Yeah, we've just been
hit with a lawsuit.
One of your passengers.
Do you care to explain?
- Scotty, over here, mate.
Look, ya understand I
had to have a go at ya
about that aircraft, don't ya?
- Is this an apology?
- No, it's not a bloody apology.
I'm just sayin' I just
can't overlook it
when a pilot wrecks one of my aircraft.
- Roley, we didn't wreck
one of your aircraft.
- "We," I thought so.
That cowboy forced you
into it, didn't he?
Didn't he? - No, he didn't.
- Course he did. What do
you know about him anyway?
- He's ex-air force.
Spent seven years in Malaysia.
He's got some good stories.
- I'll bet he does.
Well, I don't like him.
- You don't like anybody.
- He's got it comin'
to him, that bloke.
- Why, what's he got
comin' to him, huh?
- I don't know, I don't
know, you just be careful.
(Scotty chuckles)
- We just hit a crosswind on landing.
We didn't come down that hard.
- Well that's not what
Gordon Prescott says.
- Whiplash?
(Chuckles) That's ridiculous.
- Did you ask if he was okay?
Did you apologize?
- Of course I did.
Not that a crosswind could ever
be my fault in the first place.
So I'm to blame for this?
- We've never had
trouble like it before.
- Lauren, what's your problem?
You're gonna blame me
for the weather now?
- Let's just hope that
our insurance company
can win this one for us.
I'm going out.
- Where?
- [Lauren] Just out.
- What's the matter with her?
- She's been screaming
at everyone lately.
Don't worry about it.
- My reputation is on the line
and not even Lauren is backing me up.
- That's weird, maybe it's,
ya know, a jealousy thing.
- What?
- Well, ya know, you're
younger, you're blonder, mm?
- Jimbo!
If the insurance company
believes Prescott,
it will go on my record as pilot error.
Right there in black and white
forever, incompetent pilot.
It wasn't my fault.
- So, what, he was fine and,
oh-ho, now he's got whiplash?
- Mm, it's all so what? How
dare he do this to me?
- Well, if he's faking, get even.
- I'd love to.
Have you got a video camera?
- Yeah, why, what's wrong with that?
It's just for personal use.
(Soft suspenseful music)
- You wanna hear something funny?
When they were showing
me the glass eyes,
the nurse knocked the box over.
They went rolling everywhere,
all over the floor.
I promised myself I wouldn't
do this in front of Deirdre.
I hate it when she's
trying to say something
and there's nothing she can say.
She means well, but she
doesn't understand.
- Yeah, I wish they'd stop trying.
Makes it worse, not better.
(Somber music)
- Are you sure you know
how to use that thing?
- (Scoffs) Please.
- I need this as evidence, jimbo.
It's gotta be clear he's faking.
- It will be clear.
- Come out, ya worm.
Can't spend the rest of our
lives parked here at lunchtime.
- I can think of worse ways to...
- There he is!
(Suspenseful music)
Quick.
Oh man, look at him.
- Aw, props and costumes.
Don't panic.
- Pus bucket, I knew it!
Quick, film him, quick, quick, quick.
Hurry, hurry, come on,
come on, come on.
Come on! - I got an image.
Okay.
I think I got the last bit.
- What made you change your mind?
- Took a friend's advice.
- Remind me to thank your friend.
- We should get going.
I'm supposed to be doing
a run after lunch.
- [Linda] What are we waiting for then?
- Look up a little.
Straight ahead.
Uh-huh.
- Well, don't keep me in suspense, doc.
- Oh, sorry.
There's still some residual scarring,
but that should clear
up in a week or so.
Overall, though, I think
it looks pretty good.
I'd say the operation
was a complete success.
- So I can cancel the white cane?
(Doctor chuckles)
(Somber music) (Phone ringing)
- Lauren Allen.
- Yeah, g'day, it's me.
Well, I just got my results.
They reckon I'm gonna be okay.
- Congratulations.
- Thanks.
Thought we might go out and celebrate.
Ya know, nothin' too flash.
I reckon I gotta take it easy.
- I thought I was in exile.
- Ah, heat of the moment.
- You meant it, Chris.
- Lauren, ya know, the one time
you take any notice of me.
I was scared.
- And I was hurt.
Give me a call when you wanna
come back to work, okay?
- Yeah, well hang on.
- [Lauren] Bye.
- Lauren?
(Disconnection tone beeping)
(Suspenseful music)
- Okay, all set, give us the camera.
- In your dreams, I'm
filming this time.
- Come on.
- Where'd ya put the 50?
- It's tucked under the wheel.
He's gonna have to bend
right down to pick it up.
I saw it on candid camera once.
- [Paula] Okay.
- There he is.
Come on.
Don't just stand there,
you dope, pick it up.
Pick it up, pick it up,
pick it up, pick it up,
pick it up. - Come on.
- Pick it up, pick it up, pick
it up, pick it up, pick it.
- Oh yes!
- Hey, come back here!
- Let me go. 50 bucks.
- No, he'll see us.
- Can I help you?
- Sure you can.
- [Shay] Here ya go.
- Thanks.
- [Cameron] Hello, doll.
(Ominous music)
- [Linda] You have the car keys?
- Aw, you only want me for the car?
Everyone, this is my wife, Linda.
Linda, the gang, Scotty
Gibbs, Lexie ciani.
- When are you finishing up today?
- Got one more run, but we can knock
a bit of time off that,
what do ya reckon, Scotty?
- Hey?
- Put the pedal to the
metal, let's have her.
Would you keep a beauty
like this waiting?
(Somber music)
- I'll see ya later, digger.
Don't let Deirdre drive
you around the bend.
- (Chuckles) More like over a cliff.
- You're lucky to have her, ya know.
- Yeah, I know.
I'd be lost without her.
- Hope she knows that.
- She does.
- Wise man.
Take care of yourself.
- You, too, Chris.
- Linda!
What, you're married to my boss
and you don't even say anything?
- The only thing that's changed is now
you know who my husband is.
If it didn't affect things
before, why should it now?
- Are you outta your mind?
- I still wanna see you, Scotty.
- Well, I don't.
- Oh grow up.
- What?
- Think about it.
Look, what's changed between us?
Nothing. - Nothing?
What, you call having your husband
around on the spot all
the time nothing, do ya?
- He's my problem, not yours.
- He's my problem.
I'm the one that has
to work with the guy.
- So?
- You just don't get it, do you?
- Look, what I don't get
is you acting like this.
- Look, I don't wanna
see you again, okay?
Don't call me or anything.
So just go up here on the left
and it'll take you straight there.
- Okay.
Scotty's just telling me how to get
to the nearest shopping center.
- Yeah, listen, I forgot to
ask if you could fill her up.
- Sure.
- Listen, I better get going.
Have fun shopping and don't get lost.
- [Linda] Bye-bye, Scotty,
see ya next time.
- You slag.
(Dramatic music)
- You're hurting me.
- Shut up!
- Lauren, Chris is on line two for you.
- Look, I don't wanna
talk to him right now.
Just tell him I'm busy.
Sorry, as you were saying, roley.
- Now, Mike Berry did some checking
into Cameron's air force record.
- Yeah?
- There's some things left out of it.
Before he quit, the
air force was tryin'
to get enough evidence to
instigate a court-martial.
- Well, that's outrageous.
How can they leave something
like that off his record?
- He was suspected of dealing in drugs.
The investigation shut
down when the airman
who was gonna blow the whistle
died in an air crash.
Officially, it was an accident, but...
- I can't just sack him
on hearsay, roley.
- So make something up.
He's a bad piece of work, Lauren.
He's dangerous.
- Every place we go,
it's the same thing.
Well, I've had it!
Ya hear me!
- Let go of me.
You know, you bring it on yourself.
If you weren't so
caught up all the time
with your bloody deals
and your... - Shut up.
What are you doin' here?
- We've got a problem.
(Soft ominous music)
- [Cameron] Geez, are you
nuts, what are you doin'?
You can't do that here.
- They're fakes.
Every one of them.
They found out about the skimming.
We've gotta get outta here, now.
- Linda, get in the car.
- I'm not doing anything
you tell me to do.
- Do it!
- Hey.
What about the pickup from Bathurst?
If nobody turns up, they'll
know we're on to them.
- You want me to go by myself?
- Somethin' came up.
Scotty, you're part of
the team now, mate.
I trust ya.
- Yeah, but Cameron, about
us working together.
I don't know if it's such a good idea.
Maybe you should just
find someone else.
- I can forgive a mate
an awful lot, ya know.
Now, I can forgive and
forget practically anything.
But lettin' me down when I need ya.
- You know, all right,
yeah, I'll do the run.
- Thanks.
Reliability pretty much makes up
for anything else in my book, eh?
(Ominous music)
(Suspenseful music)
- (Sighs) We should get back.
Lauren'll be wondering where we are.
- Who cares?
I don't clear my name, there's
no point going back to work.
Who's gonna wanna fly with me?
- I can't think of anymore
candid camera episodes.
- Silly tricks aren't working.
The only way we're gonna catch
him is to do it in person.
- No, he knows what ya look like.
- He's never met you, though.
- Ah, Lauren.
There's a surprise for
you in your office.
Ta da!
- G'day.
I was just tryin' to
make it easier for me
in case it was bad news, that's all.
- Yeah, I know that.
I obviously got the wrong impression.
- [Chris] What about?
- About us, about the other
night at your place.
I thought we shared something,
I thought something
happened between us,
but I guess I got it wrong.
- No, you weren't, Lauren.
I just didn't want you
to see me crack up,
you of all people.
- Why didn't ya just say that?
- Because then ya never woulda left.
- I went back anyway.
- Did ya?
See what I mean?
Let's have dinner tonight.
Let me make it up to ya.
- I don't know, do you think this means
we shouldn't bother trying?
- I didn't think we even had yet.
Oh, I see, you want me to grovel.
Well, I'm pretty good at it.
Self-taught, never had a lesson.
- I can believe that.
- State champion, three years running.
- In the stupid male section, no doubt.
- Eight o'clock, my place.
I'll show you my medal-winning form.
- Eight o'clock.
(Gordon grunts)
- Gordon Prescott?
- Yes?
- Axl rose, garden world magazine.
We spoke on the...
- Oh yes, Mr. rose.
A pleasure to meet you.
I suppose with a name like that,
you'd have to work on a
gardening magazine, eh?
(Men chuckle)
- So, how did ya hurt your?
- Oh, slight accident.
I must say, I was shocked
to hear your news.
- Oh, you could have knocked
us down with an orchid.
- Plant steroids, you say?
I've never heard of them.
- Oh, they're still very experimental.
We're not sure how Mr.
denham got hold of some
for his camellia, but we stripped him
of his prizes straight away.
- Well, naturally.
This is absolutely appalling.
- Which brought us to you.
- This is so exciting.
- Well, like I was
saying, we'll be sending
the awards and prizes over
in the next few days,
but what we need now is photos, asap.
We're way behind schedule
for the next issue.
- Oh, of course.
This whole thing must've
thrown you into turmoil.
- Oh, don't get me started.
Our compost editor had
to take a week off.
- Yes.
Well, let me show you the
way to the garden, hm?
Oh. (Grunting)
(Suspenseful music)
- Told you not to rip 'em off.
Said this would happen, didn't I?
- Anytime you want out,
babe, you just go.
But you won't.
Little kids like Scotty don't
measure up in the end.
- How the hell would you know?
- There's no point pining for him.
He's gone.
Gotta thank ya, hon.
He came in handy.
Saved my ass.
Your pretty boy's history.
(Suspenseful music)
- I'm not all that surprised
about Allen denham, ya know.
I've always suspected his methods
weren't entirely above board.
(Camera clicking)
- Aw, no.
- What?
- Aphids.
- Aphids, where?
- Everywhere, they're
all over the camellias.
- Oh, that's impossible,
I spray. - Aw, no.
Look, I've got to get rid of them.
Die, bugs. - Stop it, stop it!
What are you doing? - Die.
Get away from them, get away.
- You dirty little insects.
Die! - You're insane.
You'll break the lot.
Get away from...
(Suspenseful music)
What the hell?
You.
- Say cheese, stink bug.
(Paula chuckles)
(Suspenseful music)
- Linda!
Linda, come back here!
(Phone ringing)
- Answer, come on.
(Phone ringing)
Come on.
Hi, is that big sky?
It's Linda, I have to get
a message to Scotty.
It's urgent.
No, I know he's not there, but...
(Phone ringing)
Answer, Scotty, please!
Ah! - Come with me.
- Hello?
- [Linda] Cameron!
- Hello?
Hello?
(Explosion booms)
That must've been Linda
that was tryin' to warn me.
- Yeah, well she was
calling and I didn't know
what was going on, and
then she just hung up.
- If she'd called me a minute later.
- She could've got you killed, Scotty.
- Well, she also saved me.
Man, I'll tell ya, married women, eh?
Never again.
- Just like married men.
I could've told you that.
Anyway, I knew Cameron was a sleazebag.
How about a drink at the safari bar?
You must need one.
- (Chuckles) No way, that's where
this whole bloody mess started.
I'm goin' straight home.
- See ya later.
- See ya.
Jimbo, I owe ya one.
- [Jimbo] I knew he was fakin'.
- Oh, you were that sure, were you?
- Oh, I knew it was either a scam
or you were a bad pilot,
and I knew it wasn't that.
- Well, thank you.
(Both chuckle)
- Their place was cleaned out
by the time the police got there.
- Mm, probably outta
the country by now.
Just as well the operation turned out
if he was the best you
could find to replace me.
You reckon they were in it together.
- As as far as I'm concerned,
they deserve each other.
- Yeah, well they'll
play the same dance
over and over again if she's
stuck with him this long.
- Yeah, why do some women
make such stupid choices?
- Oh, thinking about anyone we know?
- This morning, I would've said yes.
- And now?
- Weren't we doing exactly
the same thing last week,
just sitting here, bearing our souls?
- Ah yes, but we didn't know
if I'd ever fly again then.
- Is that all that's changed?
- No.
I guess I've taken a few
things for granted,
that I'd be able to fly again,
that Robbie would always
be there with a band-aid.
That you and I...
- [Lauren] You and I what?
- Well, I don't know.
That you and I'd find a
way to deal with us.
- What is us?
Is there such a thing as us?
- Well, I don't know.
I just don't wanna leave
it too late to find out.
I wanna make some changes now.
- Then let's make them.
(Gentle music)
- What?
- Oh, I can't do this again.
- Do what again?
- This, this thing that we
do whenever we get close
and then we act like it never happened
and then we fight about whether...
- I agree.
- You do?
- Yeah, I know what I want.
- So do I.

- Okay, Jack, this time
meet me out in the shore.
(Chris groans)
There's something wrong with my eye.
I think it might be serious.
- I'm afraid you have a detached
retina in your right eye.
Now, without treatment,
either by surgery or laser,
the detached retina can't
survive for very long.
It will eventually result
in blindness in that eye.
There are several methods
of reattaching the retina,
and in the majority of
cases, it's successful.
(Knuckles tapping)
- Lauren, hi.
- Hi.
- How are you?
- Good, good.
- Are you after Chris?
He's in the shower.
- Yeah, I just came to see if he needed
a lift to the hospital.
- [Robbie] Oh.
- I mean, it isn't
really out of my way.
- Oh, well, I'm taking him.
- Well, I guess I'll be off then.
Wish him good luck.
- Will do.
- Thanks, bye.
- See ya.
Have you forgotten anything?
- No, stop fussin', will ya?
- Well, I'll be back straight
after surgery, okay?
Good luck.
It'll be fine.
- Yeah, of course it will.
(Glass clatters)
Need a hand there, mate?
- No, I'm all right.
I gotta get used to doing
things for myself.
Oh thanks.
- I'm Chris.
- Max.
What ya in for?
- A detached retina, you?
- Corneal transplant.
What odds they give ya?
- 90%.
- They gave me 80.
- How'd ya go?
- Well, somebody's gotta make
up the other 20, don't they?
(Somber music) They
had a couple of guys,
but the little buggers wouldn't take.
Then the other eye went bad as well,
so now they're gonna have
to take that one out, too.
All this modern
technology, you'd expect
they can do anything, don't ya?
But now it's like lookin' through
a bloody shower curtain all the time.
(Chuckles)
When they were showing
me the glass eyes,
the nurse knocked the box over.

- Hey, maybe get one of

that you read about.
- That you read about where, penthouse?
- How are you feeling?
- How's the new guy?
- Cameron?
Well, he seems all right.
He made a big deal about not trying
to take your place for two weeks.
As if he could.
- [Lauren] He's brought
us a few new clients.
We got a regular run to
Bathurst three times a week.
- He's ex-air force.
Scotty'll be salutin' him
by the end of the week.
(Group chuckles)
- It'll do him good.
(Airplane rumbling)
- See that car?
- [Scotty] Yeah?
- What do you reckon we give
the driver a bit of a haircut?
- Fly that low?
- You got another way?
- It's illegal.
- They gotta catch us first.
(Airplane rumbling)
(Laughs) Lucky day, partner.
Check those two out.
(Scotty chuckles)
Man, chicks get right
off on bein' buzzed.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, of course it works better
when you front up later in uniform,
but it's still a guaranteed leg up
if you wanna chase 'em up.
- No, I'm okay, man.
I've just met someone.
- Oh well, suit yourself.
Hang onto your nuts.
(Airplane rumbling) (Suspenseful music)
Yeah! (Scotty laughs)
(Tires screeching) (Women screaming)
(Car horn honking)
(Men laughing)
Ya ready?
Take it!
- Eh? Whoa!
(Cameron chuckling)
Whoa! - Oh!
- Whoa! (Branches cracking)
- Oh! (Laughing)
- Thanks for comin'.
- Yeah well, hang in there, mate.
And don't let 'em, like, shave you.
- It's an eye operation.
- [Lexie] Just get better.
We'll see you tomorrow.
- I'll be with you in a minute.
You'll be fine.
I'll be thinking of you.
Here, I thought this
might cheer you up.
- I don't want you or the guys
to come and see me again.
- It's no problem.
- I don't want you to.
- [Nurse] Dr. salloway,
call for you on line...
- You let me help the other night.
What's changed?
- Just go now, please, Lauren.
(Somber music)
What are you lookin' at?
- (Laughs) Man, I've never
done anything like it.
It was unreal.
- Well, that's the sorta stuff
you should use big sky for, mate.
Training ground, take a few risks
before you move on to the majors.
Young hotshot like you,
you wanna fast-track
your career, don't ya?
- Yeah, for sure.
- Yeah, so ya gotta look
out for number one.
Suck all the experience
outta this ya can
before ya climb the next rung.
Get serious about it, Scotty, yeah?
Start to build up some contacts,
let people know you're available.
- [Scotty] What are all these anyway?
- Biological samples.
Some lab in Sydney does testing
on the local water or something.
- Lab experiments?
And they just leave 'em here?
- Yeah, it's the same
as any other freight,
only the paperwork
goes through the mail.
- Well, is there any danger,
like, bacteria and stuff?
- (Laughs) Hell no.
But, just to be on the safe
side, don't drop it, okay?
I mean, you didn't wanna
have kids anyway, did ya?
(Scotty chuckles)
(Somber music)
- [Nurse] You'll start
feeling drowsy soon.
The orderly will be along in a minute
to take you to theater.
- That lady that was in
before, nice perfume.
Is that your girlfriend?
- Boss.
- Why'd you wanna to tell
her to take a hike for?
- None of your business.
- Mate, I did the same
thing the day the doc
gave me the bad news.
I went home, I kicked the
cat, I yelled at Deirdre.
Geez, that was stupid
'cause I had to get
on my hands and knees and
beg her to drive a truck,
and that's really sayin' somethin'
because she's the worst syncro masher.
(Chuckles)
She can't even get into
second without a crunch.
But the money won't come
in by itself, will it?
- If you're trying to
make a point, forget it.
- Mate, I've been there.
- Look, no offense, but
just because you're
in the unlucky 20% doesn't mean
you know everything, all right?
- Just tryin' to help.
- I don't need any
help, I'm doin' fine.
- Yeah, great.
- Shay!
Who's that bloke?
- He's a customer.
- [Roley] So what's he doin' out here?
Get 'em off my tarmac.
- Roley, I told him that, you know,
but he said he wanted
to wait for Cameron
and he didn't wanna wait in the foyer.
- Well tell him again.
It's against regulations
for members of the public
to hang around this place.
- Roley, I did, you know?
But he said he wanted to pick
up some cargo personally.
- So, why can't he do it
inside like everyone else?
- Look, they're here now anyway.
(Airplane rumbling)
- Vic, how are ya?
- Fine, and yourself?
- Excellent.
Got your goodies.
This is Scotty Gibbs, he was doin'
the run with me. - Hey.
- [Cameron] Vic beecher,
kettlewell labs.
- Pleasure.
- Yeah.
So, what are these samples anyway?
- [Vic] Soil, water, live stuff
we do, various types of...
- Scotty!
Here, now.
- Being summoned, excuse me.
- Got yourself a little helper already.
- Oh yeah, he's keen.
Wants to be where the action is.
- [Scotty] What?
- Have a look at this.
Scratched up buggery.
The aerial's torn completely off.
What the hell do ya think
you were doin' out there?
- It was just a bit of an accident.
- What sort of accident?
- Look, can we
talk about this tomorrow?
I've sorta gotta be somewhere.
- Well you're sorta gonna - excuse me.
- Have to be late, aren't ya?
Because I wanna know what
happened and I wanna know now.
So how about you start
at the beginning.
- How about you calm down, pal?
Got the aircraft back in
one piece, didn't we?
- Only just. What the hell do
you think you were doin'...
- Now hang on, hang on, hang on.
You're the mechanic, right?
- Senior engineer, yes.
- So how about you fix the planes
and don't try and tell
us how to fly 'em.
- Hey, Cameron, don't...
- Scotty, it's all right.
I'll sort this out,
you go on your date.
(Airplane rumbling)
- The flower shows are
all about who you know.
Oh, I'm not in it for the money,
although I could do with it.
The first prize winner
gets their garden
photographed by garden world magazine.
You know, the honor, the prestige,
the reputation, that gives you.
- Mm, I can't imagine.
- I ask you, have you ever
seen a more perfect camellia?
How they could judge it only second.
(Plane rumbles)
Oh.
What's happening?
- It's okay, don't panic.
It's just a bit of crosswind.
Have you got your seatbelt on?
- Ah, mm-hmm.
Oh, oh, the camellias!
- Sorry, we got a bit of an updraft
as we were touching down.
Is everything okay?
- No, it's not.
After all the high altitude,
this has to happen.
(Somber music)
- I can walk there.
- Mr. manning.
- Good luck, mate.
- [Chris] Yeah, yeah.
- [Shay] Oh, prezzy.
Who'd ya get it from?
- Me, well, it's for Chris.
It's an eye patch.
We had this joke about pirates.
- That's sweet, but why
didn't ya give it to him?
- Lauren, can I see you?
- Oh, can it wait, roley?
I'm just on my way out.
- No, it can't.
(Couple breathing heavily)
- That was unexpected.
- Yeah, sorry.
- Don't be.
I'm all for spontaneity.
Maybe next time we'll make
it to your place. (Chuckles)
Beast. (Chuckles)
Oh sorry, Scotty, I've gotta get home.
- What, again?
You didn't make it home
last night either.
- Can't be helped.
- Why don't you just
stay for an hour or so?
- Leave it, Scotty.
- What, is it someone else?
- (Chuckles) If you
wanna put it that way.
- Well, this isn't a joke.
- I don't know about that.
My husband might agree
with you, though.
- Your what?
- [Roley] This bloke's a real cowboy.
- His air force record
was very impressive.
- Those things are just PR.
Makes me wonder why he really quit.
Did you call them?
- Don't tell me how to
hire a pilot, roley.
- I've got a mate there
I could talk to.
- This is my responsibility, not yours.
I'll deal with the problem.
By the sounds of it, you've done enough
to rock the boat already.
- A pilot does that much
damage to an aircraft,
I've got every right to tell him
exactly what I think of him.
- And it's my job now to deal with it.
I'll talk to him.
Just try and stay out of
each other's way, okay?
This is the last thing
I need right now.
- I'll let ya know what
I find out about him.
- Roley, I've asked you...
- Lauren, we're all worried
about Chris, not just you.
(Somber music)
(Max snoring)
- I'm a dead man.
He'll kill me.
- How's he gonna find out?
I'm not gonna tell him.
- Yeah, what if he guesses, huh?
- He won't, he never does.
- What, you've done this before?
Aw!
- I get lonely, is that a crime?
Not that he cares.
- Look, I don't wanna be
any part of a revenge trip
on your husband, all right?
- Didn't we just have a good time?
- No.
Yes, look, that's not the point.
- Scotty, I like you, I'd
like to keep seeing you.
If you have a problem with that,
it's your problem, not mine.
(Scotty laughs)
(Soft ominous music)
I'll call you.
- No, look, don't bother.
Don't, Linda, Linda!
Linda, don't!
Linda!
(Airplane roaring)
Ya know, I can't believe
she didn't tell me.
- Well, ya know what they
say about older women.
They don't tell, they don't swell,
and they're grateful as hell.
- (Snorts) She's not that old.
- Well, just lie back and enjoy it.
- I can't, what about her husband?
- Ah, what kinda limp dick loser's he
if she's out cruisin' bars?
If he had any kind of
cojones she'd be at home.
Anyway, he's probably
doing the same thing
with his secretary.
Mate, ya don't get
anywhere playin' it safe.
- No, I suppose not.
- Speaking of which, you know
there's big opportunities
out there for a pilot
like you who's not afraid
to take a few risks.
- Yeah?
- Yep, and ya gotta be
prepared to skate close
to the edge maybe, even
over it occasionally,
but there's big money up for
grabs for the right person.
- What exactly are you getting at?
- (Chuckles) Mate, I'm
settin' up my own business
and I need a partner, and I had
you picked out from day one.
- Hey, don't fiddle.
How's it feel?
- Oh, it's all right, it's a bit sore.
- The kids wanted to come. (Chuckles)
Anything for a day off school.
Mum sends her love.
- Thanks.
- I thought Lauren or one of the others
from work would have called.
- Manning, Chris manning.
He was scheduled to be
operated on yesterday.
- [Nurse] Yes.
- Well, I was just
wondering how it went.
- Are you a member of the family?
- [Lauren] No, but I...
- I'm sorry, we can't
give out that information
unless you're a family member.
Would you like to leave a message?
- No, thank you.
- [Nurse] Visiting hours are from 10...
- Yeah, yeah, I know,
thank you very much.
- Hey, you wanted to see me?
- Yeah, we've just been
hit with a lawsuit.
One of your passengers.
Do you care to explain?
- Scotty, over here, mate.
Look, ya understand I
had to have a go at ya
about that aircraft, don't ya?
- Is this an apology?
- No, it's not a bloody apology.
I'm just sayin' I just
can't overlook it
when a pilot wrecks one of my aircraft.
- Roley, we didn't wreck
one of your aircraft.
- "We," I thought so.
That cowboy forced you
into it, didn't he?
Didn't he? - No, he didn't.
- Course he did. What do
you know about him anyway?
- He's ex-air force.
Spent seven years in Malaysia.
He's got some good stories.
- I'll bet he does.
Well, I don't like him.
- You don't like anybody.
- He's got it comin'
to him, that bloke.
- Why, what's he got
comin' to him, huh?
- I don't know, I don't
know, you just be careful.
(Scotty chuckles)
- We just hit a crosswind on landing.
We didn't come down that hard.
- Well that's not what
Gordon Prescott says.
- Whiplash?
(Chuckles) That's ridiculous.
- Did you ask if he was okay?
Did you apologize?
- Of course I did.
Not that a crosswind could ever
be my fault in the first place.
So I'm to blame for this?
- We've never had
trouble like it before.
- Lauren, what's your problem?
You're gonna blame me
for the weather now?
- Let's just hope that
our insurance company
can win this one for us.
I'm going out.
- Where?
- [Lauren] Just out.
- What's the matter with her?
- She's been screaming
at everyone lately.
Don't worry about it.
- My reputation is on the line
and not even Lauren is backing me up.
- That's weird, maybe it's,
ya know, a jealousy thing.
- What?
- Well, ya know, you're
younger, you're blonder, mm?
- Jimbo!
If the insurance company
believes Prescott,
it will go on my record as pilot error.
Right there in black and white
forever, incompetent pilot.
It wasn't my fault.
- So, what, he was fine and,
oh-ho, now he's got whiplash?
- Mm, it's all so what? How
dare he do this to me?
- Well, if he's faking, get even.
- I'd love to.
Have you got a video camera?
- Yeah, why, what's wrong with that?
It's just for personal use.
(Soft suspenseful music)
- You wanna hear something funny?
When they were showing
me the glass eyes,
the nurse knocked the box over.
They went rolling everywhere,
all over the floor.
I promised myself I wouldn't
do this in front of Deirdre.
I hate it when she's
trying to say something
and there's nothing she can say.
She means well, but she
doesn't understand.
- Yeah, I wish they'd stop trying.
Makes it worse, not better.
(Somber music)
- Are you sure you know
how to use that thing?
- (Scoffs) Please.
- I need this as evidence, jimbo.
It's gotta be clear he's faking.
- It will be clear.
- Come out, ya worm.
Can't spend the rest of our
lives parked here at lunchtime.
- I can think of worse ways to...
- There he is!
(Suspenseful music)
Quick.
Oh man, look at him.
- Aw, props and costumes.
Don't panic.
- Pus bucket, I knew it!
Quick, film him, quick, quick, quick.
Hurry, hurry, come on,
come on, come on.
Come on! - I got an image.
Okay.
I think I got the last bit.
- What made you change your mind?
- Took a friend's advice.
- Remind me to thank your friend.
- We should get going.
I'm supposed to be doing
a run after lunch.
- [Linda] What are we waiting for then?
- Look up a little.
Straight ahead.
Uh-huh.
- Well, don't keep me in suspense, doc.
- Oh, sorry.
There's still some residual scarring,
but that should clear
up in a week or so.
Overall, though, I think
it looks pretty good.
I'd say the operation
was a complete success.
- So I can cancel the white cane?
(Doctor chuckles)
(Somber music) (Phone ringing)
- Lauren Allen.
- Yeah, g'day, it's me.
Well, I just got my results.
They reckon I'm gonna be okay.
- Congratulations.
- Thanks.
Thought we might go out and celebrate.
Ya know, nothin' too flash.
I reckon I gotta take it easy.
- I thought I was in exile.
- Ah, heat of the moment.
- You meant it, Chris.
- Lauren, ya know, the one time
you take any notice of me.
I was scared.
- And I was hurt.
Give me a call when you wanna
come back to work, okay?
- Yeah, well hang on.
- [Lauren] Bye.
- Lauren?
(Disconnection tone beeping)
(Suspenseful music)
- Okay, all set, give us the camera.
- In your dreams, I'm
filming this time.
- Come on.
- Where'd ya put the 50?
- It's tucked under the wheel.
He's gonna have to bend
right down to pick it up.
I saw it on candid camera once.
- [Paula] Okay.
- There he is.
Come on.
Don't just stand there,
you dope, pick it up.
Pick it up, pick it up,
pick it up, pick it up,
pick it up. - Come on.
- Pick it up, pick it up, pick
it up, pick it up, pick it.
- Oh yes!
- Hey, come back here!
- Let me go. 50 bucks.
- No, he'll see us.
- Can I help you?
- Sure you can.
- [Shay] Here ya go.
- Thanks.
- [Cameron] Hello, doll.
(Ominous music)
- [Linda] You have the car keys?
- Aw, you only want me for the car?
Everyone, this is my wife, Linda.
Linda, the gang, Scotty
Gibbs, Lexie ciani.
- When are you finishing up today?
- Got one more run, but we can knock
a bit of time off that,
what do ya reckon, Scotty?
- Hey?
- Put the pedal to the
metal, let's have her.
Would you keep a beauty
like this waiting?
(Somber music)
- I'll see ya later, digger.
Don't let Deirdre drive
you around the bend.
- (Chuckles) More like over a cliff.
- You're lucky to have her, ya know.
- Yeah, I know.
I'd be lost without her.
- Hope she knows that.
- She does.
- Wise man.
Take care of yourself.
- You, too, Chris.
- Linda!
What, you're married to my boss
and you don't even say anything?
- The only thing that's changed is now
you know who my husband is.
If it didn't affect things
before, why should it now?
- Are you outta your mind?
- I still wanna see you, Scotty.
- Well, I don't.
- Oh grow up.
- What?
- Think about it.
Look, what's changed between us?
Nothing. - Nothing?
What, you call having your husband
around on the spot all
the time nothing, do ya?
- He's my problem, not yours.
- He's my problem.
I'm the one that has
to work with the guy.
- So?
- You just don't get it, do you?
- Look, what I don't get
is you acting like this.
- Look, I don't wanna
see you again, okay?
Don't call me or anything.
So just go up here on the left
and it'll take you straight there.
- Okay.
Scotty's just telling me how to get
to the nearest shopping center.
- Yeah, listen, I forgot to
ask if you could fill her up.
- Sure.
- Listen, I better get going.
Have fun shopping and don't get lost.
- [Linda] Bye-bye, Scotty,
see ya next time.
- You slag.
(Dramatic music)
- You're hurting me.
- Shut up!
- Lauren, Chris is on line two for you.
- Look, I don't wanna
talk to him right now.
Just tell him I'm busy.
Sorry, as you were saying, roley.
- Now, Mike Berry did some checking
into Cameron's air force record.
- Yeah?
- There's some things left out of it.
Before he quit, the
air force was tryin'
to get enough evidence to
instigate a court-martial.
- Well, that's outrageous.
How can they leave something
like that off his record?
- He was suspected of dealing in drugs.
The investigation shut
down when the airman
who was gonna blow the whistle
died in an air crash.
Officially, it was an accident, but...
- I can't just sack him
on hearsay, roley.
- So make something up.
He's a bad piece of work, Lauren.
He's dangerous.
- Every place we go,
it's the same thing.
Well, I've had it!
Ya hear me!
- Let go of me.
You know, you bring it on yourself.
If you weren't so
caught up all the time
with your bloody deals
and your... - Shut up.
What are you doin' here?
- We've got a problem.
(Soft ominous music)
- [Cameron] Geez, are you
nuts, what are you doin'?
You can't do that here.
- They're fakes.
Every one of them.
They found out about the skimming.
We've gotta get outta here, now.
- Linda, get in the car.
- I'm not doing anything
you tell me to do.
- Do it!
- Hey.
What about the pickup from Bathurst?
If nobody turns up, they'll
know we're on to them.
- You want me to go by myself?
- Somethin' came up.
Scotty, you're part of
the team now, mate.
I trust ya.
- Yeah, but Cameron, about
us working together.
I don't know if it's such a good idea.
Maybe you should just
find someone else.
- I can forgive a mate
an awful lot, ya know.
Now, I can forgive and
forget practically anything.
But lettin' me down when I need ya.
- You know, all right,
yeah, I'll do the run.
- Thanks.
Reliability pretty much makes up
for anything else in my book, eh?
(Ominous music)
(Suspenseful music)
- (Sighs) We should get back.
Lauren'll be wondering where we are.
- Who cares?
I don't clear my name, there's
no point going back to work.
Who's gonna wanna fly with me?
- I can't think of anymore
candid camera episodes.
- Silly tricks aren't working.
The only way we're gonna catch
him is to do it in person.
- No, he knows what ya look like.
- He's never met you, though.
- Ah, Lauren.
There's a surprise for
you in your office.
Ta da!
- G'day.
I was just tryin' to
make it easier for me
in case it was bad news, that's all.
- Yeah, I know that.
I obviously got the wrong impression.
- [Chris] What about?
- About us, about the other
night at your place.
I thought we shared something,
I thought something
happened between us,
but I guess I got it wrong.
- No, you weren't, Lauren.
I just didn't want you
to see me crack up,
you of all people.
- Why didn't ya just say that?
- Because then ya never woulda left.
- I went back anyway.
- Did ya?
See what I mean?
Let's have dinner tonight.
Let me make it up to ya.
- I don't know, do you think this means
we shouldn't bother trying?
- I didn't think we even had yet.
Oh, I see, you want me to grovel.
Well, I'm pretty good at it.
Self-taught, never had a lesson.
- I can believe that.
- State champion, three years running.
- In the stupid male section, no doubt.
- Eight o'clock, my place.
I'll show you my medal-winning form.
- Eight o'clock.
(Gordon grunts)
- Gordon Prescott?
- Yes?
- Axl rose, garden world magazine.
We spoke on the...
- Oh yes, Mr. rose.
A pleasure to meet you.
I suppose with a name like that,
you'd have to work on a
gardening magazine, eh?
(Men chuckle)
- So, how did ya hurt your?
- Oh, slight accident.
I must say, I was shocked
to hear your news.
- Oh, you could have knocked
us down with an orchid.
- Plant steroids, you say?
I've never heard of them.
- Oh, they're still very experimental.
We're not sure how Mr.
denham got hold of some
for his camellia, but we stripped him
of his prizes straight away.
- Well, naturally.
This is absolutely appalling.
- Which brought us to you.
- This is so exciting.
- Well, like I was
saying, we'll be sending
the awards and prizes over
in the next few days,
but what we need now is photos, asap.
We're way behind schedule
for the next issue.
- Oh, of course.
This whole thing must've
thrown you into turmoil.
- Oh, don't get me started.
Our compost editor had
to take a week off.
- Yes.
Well, let me show you the
way to the garden, hm?
Oh. (Grunting)
(Suspenseful music)
- Told you not to rip 'em off.
Said this would happen, didn't I?
- Anytime you want out,
babe, you just go.
But you won't.
Little kids like Scotty don't
measure up in the end.
- How the hell would you know?
- There's no point pining for him.
He's gone.
Gotta thank ya, hon.
He came in handy.
Saved my ass.
Your pretty boy's history.
(Suspenseful music)
- I'm not all that surprised
about Allen denham, ya know.
I've always suspected his methods
weren't entirely above board.
(Camera clicking)
- Aw, no.
- What?
- Aphids.
- Aphids, where?
- Everywhere, they're
all over the camellias.
- Oh, that's impossible,
I spray. - Aw, no.
Look, I've got to get rid of them.
Die, bugs. - Stop it, stop it!
What are you doing? - Die.
Get away from them, get away.
- You dirty little insects.
Die! - You're insane.
You'll break the lot.
Get away from...
(Suspenseful music)
What the hell?
You.
- Say cheese, stink bug.
(Paula chuckles)
(Suspenseful music)
- Linda!
Linda, come back here!
(Phone ringing)
- Answer, come on.
(Phone ringing)
Come on.
Hi, is that big sky?
It's Linda, I have to get
a message to Scotty.
It's urgent.
No, I know he's not there, but...
(Phone ringing)
Answer, Scotty, please!
Ah! - Come with me.
- Hello?
- [Linda] Cameron!
- Hello?
Hello?
(Explosion booms)
That must've been Linda
that was tryin' to warn me.
- Yeah, well she was
calling and I didn't know
what was going on, and
then she just hung up.
- If she'd called me a minute later.
- She could've got you killed, Scotty.
- Well, she also saved me.
Man, I'll tell ya, married women, eh?
Never again.
- Just like married men.
I could've told you that.
Anyway, I knew Cameron was a sleazebag.
How about a drink at the safari bar?
You must need one.
- (Chuckles) No way, that's where
this whole bloody mess started.
I'm goin' straight home.
- See ya later.
- See ya.
Jimbo, I owe ya one.
- [Jimbo] I knew he was fakin'.
- Oh, you were that sure, were you?
- Oh, I knew it was either a scam
or you were a bad pilot,
and I knew it wasn't that.
- Well, thank you.
(Both chuckle)
- Their place was cleaned out
by the time the police got there.
- Mm, probably outta
the country by now.
Just as well the operation turned out
if he was the best you
could find to replace me.
You reckon they were in it together.
- As as far as I'm concerned,
they deserve each other.
- Yeah, well they'll
play the same dance
over and over again if she's
stuck with him this long.
- Yeah, why do some women
make such stupid choices?
- Oh, thinking about anyone we know?
- This morning, I would've said yes.
- And now?
- Weren't we doing exactly
the same thing last week,
just sitting here, bearing our souls?
- Ah yes, but we didn't know
if I'd ever fly again then.
- Is that all that's changed?
- No.
I guess I've taken a few
things for granted,
that I'd be able to fly again,
that Robbie would always
be there with a band-aid.
That you and I...
- [Lauren] You and I what?
- Well, I don't know.
That you and I'd find a
way to deal with us.
- What is us?
Is there such a thing as us?
- Well, I don't know.
I just don't wanna leave
it too late to find out.
I wanna make some changes now.
- Then let's make them.
(Gentle music)
- What?
- Oh, I can't do this again.
- Do what again?
- This, this thing that we
do whenever we get close
and then we act like it never happened
and then we fight about whether...
- I agree.
- You do?
- Yeah, I know what I want.
- So do I.
