Big Sky (1997–1999): Season 1, Episode 33 - Getting Warmer - full transcript
- Expect the unexpected
this year, birthday girl.
Invest in a protective crystal
and good legal advice,
you'll need both.
On the positive side,
a chance encounter
will lead to a sizzling new romance
with a tall dark stranger.
- [Girl] Ooh.
- Sounds like you jimbo.
- Except I'm not dark
and I'm not a stranger,
- oh, well.
- Anyways the star's a crock.
- Oh, you are dark.
- Well, you're darkish but
I don't think you qualify.
- You guys ready?
I'm starving.
- [Red-haired woman] We're
just waiting for these guys.
- Are they at it again?
- [Red-haired woman] Yeah, it's awful.
- Why are they so mean to each other?
(Knocking)
- Guys, we're waiting.
- That was great, thanks guys.
(Chuckling)
- Happy Birthday, again.
We should have had a cake.
- Yeah, we should've.
- No, no way.
- Why not?
- Well, it's really dorky.
You know, the birthday
person sits there
looking really embarrassed
and says stuff like oh,
you shouldn't have.
(Laughing)
- I wonder where that whole
candle blowing tradition came from.
- Uh, that was good king wenceslas
with one of those...
♪ Good king wenceslas ♪
- That was!
It was one of those old kings,
you know, it had something to do with
putting out the light
from years gone by...
- That's beautiful.
- And looking ahead to the future.
- You made that up!
- I didn't make it up,
I read it it in a book!
- Oh, you did not!
You always got to have the story.
- No I didn't, I read it in a book!
(Loud commotion)
- Guys, hello!
- I gotta get going.
- All right.
- No, no, no, you guys stay.
Another half hour won't hurt.
- [Man] Ah, see you later.
- [Woman] You're coming with me.
- But...
- I've got an arc meeting tomorrow,
and we've still got those
maintenance releases
to go through.
- See ya.
- Don't worry guys, we'll fix
up lunch on the way out.
- [All] Thanks.
- [Jimbo] Good luck
with that arc thing.
- I cannot figure them out.
- You know, I wish they'd get over it.
(Door shuts)
- Now, where were we?
(Chuckling)
(Lighthearted theme music)
- Chris!
- What?
- Chris, quick, wake up!
- What?
- We're running late,
we've gotta get up.
I've gotta go home and get changed,
I can't wear the same clothes
I had on yesterday.
- They won't notice.
- They will.
I've got a meeting with
the auditor at nine.
- Mm-hmm.
- And I've...
(Groaning)
Oh!
- Who's Allison and
why is she sending me
photos of herself?
- Oh, I'm sorry I'm late, everyone.
Sorry, sorry.
- [Woman] How have you been?
I've been calling your
house for an hour.
- Oh, I was tied up in traffic.
- I like that jacket.
- Thanks.
- Yeah, it's really nice.
Weren't you wearing that yesterday?
- I stayed at a girlfriend's
place, marriage problems.
Where's Mr. Williams?
- [Woman] Oh, he's gone.
He waited 20 minutes
and then had to go.
- Damn.
- You caught in traffic too, huh?
- Oh, absolutely.
City's in gridlock, I swear.
- I only woke up 10 minutes ago,
I'm here already.
How good was that traffic?
- [Chris] Oh, there was traffic.
- Oh, traffic was good today,
there was not a car on the road.
- Oh, there was traffic.
- There was pretty bad
traffic today, yeah.
- Where's Mr. Williams?
- Gone.
- Oh, bummer.
I'm sorry.
- Oh, it's not your fault.
Shame, Paula noticed my clothes,
I told you they would.
Do you think they suspect anything?
- Nah.
So, what are you doing tonight?
- You.
- [Man] No, this isn't an extra.
- No, but it's not the full one.
They say you need a
complete, original document
for a passport.
This is not it.
- I know that, this is it.
- No, you see, I've seen my friends,
and this one hasn't got as
much information on it.
- [Man] Well, that can vary.
- Well, why?
Why's mine different?
- Ah, there could be
any number of reasons.
- [Shay] Such as?
- Look, I'm not
authorized to discuss it.
You'll have to make an appointment
with one of the supervisors.
- What?
Why?
(Typing)
- It could be anything.
- So this Sarah, was she
born on the same day as you?
- No, she was born about
a year before, I think.
- Well, there you go.
Government rules changes,
bureaucracy stuff up all the time.
I mean, it's still gonna work
to get to Bali, isn't it?
- Yeah, yeah, they said
it was the right one.
- Well then, what's your
problem, it'll be fine.
- Scotty, move.
Hello, big sky.
Sure, I'll put you through.
Allison, who's this girl, Scotty?
- What girl?
- Allison.
Scotty!
- All right, I've been
logging on as you.
- On my personal Internet line?
How often?
- Often.
I couldn't help it!
You see, girls open up to other girls,
they tell each other
stuff about themselves.
If she thought that I was a guy,
then she wouldn't like me as much,
so I sent a photo of you to her,
and she sends a photo of her to me.
You get it?
- It's a lie.
- Shay, there's no such
thing as lies in love.
- You're in love.
- Oof, I am now.
- Scotty, you're a sleaze.
- Shay, I'm a guy, and it's working.
She wants to meet you
tomorrow for lunch.
(Chuckling)
- Oh, I am so not gonna be there.
- Shay, please, listen.
All you have to do is
talk to her, okay?
I'll tell you what to say,
and then I happen to come walking by,
you introduce me as your friend,
and what could be easier?
- Telling the truth in the first place.
- Shay, she loves me.
- Hello, big sky.
- Yeah, but Scotty, you're a girl.
(Chuckling)
- Yeah, but not for long.
See, it's a great trick.
- [Woman] If she finds
out you tricked her,
it's gonna be all over.
- [Scotty] It's not gonna be too late.
- [Woman] You wish.
(Melancholic music)
- What?
- It's my dad, he's had a heart attack.
I've gotta go.
I'll be back later.
(Melancholic music)
Dad.
- Shay.
- What have you done to yourself?
- I don't know.
Had this really bad
pain here last night
before I went to bed.
It just got worse.
And then the pain went to my arm.
Donna had to call an ambulance.
- Hi.
I was wondering when we would meet.
I've heard so much about you.
(Beeping)
Maybe I should go, I'll
leave you two alone.
- No, no, stay, please, stay.
(Beeping)
(Phone ringing)
- Donna.
Is that her name?
Don't tell me she was there.
- Yeah, I met her.
- What does she look like?
- Well, you know, she's all right,
nicer than I expected.
- Did you speak to her?
How old is she?
- Mom.
Do you really want to talk about this?
You're just gonna get angry and hurt.
- Well, why shouldn't I?
26 years of marriage, Shay, 26 years.
Damn it.
No idea how I feel about that woman.
- God, of course I do, how could I not?
- I know.
Let's talk about Bali.
(Lighthearted music)
(Catchy music)
- Hi!
Lexie ciani.
- You're an hour late.
- Yeah, there was a lot of congestion
back at the airport,
I'm really sorry about that.
- You will be if I miss my deadline.
- [Lexie] I read your
column every week.
- Good.
- Yeah, I think it's great.
I heard about those guys
that ambushed you on that TV chat show.
What's their story?
- They've been after me
for years, that lot.
Notice how they're all met?
They're all going to die of cancer,
the lot of them.
- You're doing that to them?
- No!
I mean they're so stressed out,
they're not in touch with themselves.
(Chuckling)
- I thought you meant you were gonna
put a hex on them.
- I'd love to.
How long 'til we land?
- We've got a huge headwind,
we're gonna be a quarter of
an hour late, I'm sorry.
- I told you, I can't be late.
- [Lexie] Sorry.
(Dramatic music)
- [Woman] Is he gonna be all right?
- Well, he's not real good, apparently.
Shay's really upset.
- Poor thing.
Let me know if she calls, okay?
- Yeah, sure.
- Oh, do you want me
to organize a temp?
- Oh, no, no, we'll manage.
Won't we?
Won't we, Scotty?
We'll manage.
- Yeah.
- Lauren!
Grant holdsworthy rang.
Earlier, he wants to
organize a meeting.
- Chairman of the board
of the perth contemporary art gallery.
- Not that you keep up with
the art world of course.
- I wonder what he wants.
I heard a lot about you over the years.
- I've been hearing a lot
of good things about you.
Thanks for coming.
It's good of you to
make yourself available
at such short notice.
You'll have to excuse the office,
they lend it to me when I'm in town,
but I get the feeling it's
usually a storage cupboard.
(Chuckling)
- Not a problem.
- Please, have a seat,
make yourself comfortable.
Now, can I get you some coffee, tea?
- No, no, I'm all right, thanks.
I'm awfully curious.
- Yes, I'm sure you are.
Now, you may know that I'm the
chairman of the board of
the perth cotemporary.
Now, we have just lost our curator,
he's been headhunted by the
Peggy guggenheim in Venice.
- Lucky him.
- Indeed.
But, a huge loss for us.
So I'm left with the unenviable task
of finding his replacement.
Now, we have to advertise
in the national press
and a few countries overseas,
but I want to make sure that the
right people know about it.
So, do you think you'd be interested
in applying for the job?
(Wondrous music)
- I don't give a damn, Peter,
it's not my fault!
It's the least you can do.
No, I cannot give you a
copy over the phone,
I'm not a sportswriter.
- What?
What?
- That's dawn da silva.
- [Scotty] Who's dawn da silva?
- She's a spiritualist
in look magazine,
she's the one who predicted
Kurt cobain would die,
she's amazing.
- How did she do that?
- Well, how would I know?
She's just got all those powers.
- I missed my deadline because of you.
Damn this place!
Why I hired you lot in the first place,
I will never know.
Damn this plane!
- Hey, what did she just
say about the plane?
- She just cursed the bloody aircraft.
- She didn't, did she?
(Melancholic music)
- What?
(Dramatic music)
- Yeah, Sarah's got an extra backpack,
she's gonna borrow it from her brother.
- Well, shouldn't you take a suitcase?
I don't think a backpack
looks very appropriate.
- Mom!
Oh hey, I handled my
birth certificate today,
I'd never seen it before.
- Oh.
- But Sarah's is actually different.
It hasn't got all that, you know,
information on it.
Do you remember why
I haven't got all the witnesses
and stuff on it?
- It's over 20 years ago, darling.
Oh, I don't know.
I suppose they did
things differently then.
- Yeah, I guess.
- You know, the guy, he said
that he wasn't authorized
to discuss it with me.
- Oh, it's some policy thing I imagine.
So, what about after kuta,
where do you go then?
- I'm not really quite sure yet.
(Mysterious music)
- Hi.
Welcome to big sky, we'll
have you in the air
in just a few minutes.
(Mysterious music)
(Battery stopping)
- A flat battery.
It's not possible.
- It is if you leave
the master switch on.
- I switched it off.
- [Man] You sure?
- Of course I'm sure.
- But can you categorically
that you did?
- Well, no, but why would I?
It's part of down flight check,
I always switch it off.
- Well maybe you were worried
about that da silva woman, you know?
You were chasing her.
- She cursed it, it's what it is.
- What the hell are you talking about?
- [Scotty] Well, she's a witch.
- A mystic.
- Mystic, witch, she serves
the dark master, I heard it.
She said "I curse this plane
in the name of beelzebub
"and all the dark forces of Satan."
- Oh, jimbo, shut...
- I'm telling you, well
maybe not the beel...
Tell him.
- Yeah, she cursed it though.
She did, we heard it.
- I tell you what.
I've got an anti-curse device out there
called a power generator.
I hook it up, throw the
battery in, shazam!
How's that?
- It'll never work.
- She cursed it.
- Ah, the entree.
- Oh! (Chuckles)
We might have to re-chill this.
- Ooh.
So, how'd the meeting go with
the chairman of the board?
- [Lauren] Good, good.
- Okay, I'll have
another crack at that.
How'd the meeting go with
the chairman of the board?
- This all looks very snazzy.
The butter knife, what's going on?
- Come on, tell.
- He just wanted to
talk to me about stuff.
- Ooh!
So, the chairman of the board
of the perth contemporary
flies all the way here
just to have a chat?
Yeah, I'll buy that.
(Chuckling)
- We'll talk about it later.
I have to think about it.
It's nothing important,
he just wanted my opinion on a bequest.
(Chuckling)
Open this.
(Vacuuming)
(Laughing)
- Yes!
(Chuckling)
- Where do you see yourself
in, say, three years time?
- I don't know, why?
- Just wondering.
Well?
- Well, if you want to pin me down,
I'd still be chief pilot at big sky,
but the difference would be
we'd have Learjets and grummans,
50 people on staff.
- I wish.
What about personally?
- Personally?
- [Lauren] What would
you like to happen?
- Well, I'd like to be happy.
- I think I'm falling in love with you.
("Gymnopedie no. 1" by Erik satie)
- That's a big thing to say.
- I know.
- We've only been seeing
each other a few weeks.
- Seeing each other.
- Well, well, Lauren...
- No, hey.
It's all right.
Forget I said it.
- Well, you can't unsay it.
- No, I can't.
(Melancholic piano music)
Go back to sleep.
- [Chris] What time is it?
- It's early, go to sleep.
- Lauren.
I'm sorry.
- It's not your fault.
- It just blew me away,
I wasn't expecting it.
(Calming piano music)
- It's all right.
I just needed to know how you felt.
- [Chris] Why, what's happening?
- It doesn't matter.
- Well, what's the hurry?
Can't we just take our time?
We're not going anywhere.
I really like you.
Let's just see how it works out.
- I'm gonna be late.
(Melancholic piano music)
(Beeping)
- Dad?
Dad, what's wrong?
- Lucy?
- No, it's Shay, dad.
- [Dad] I thought you were my daughter.
- There's something wrong,
he's acting really confused.
- He's been very agitated.
We've given him something
to calm him down.
- [Shay] Yeah, but he
doesn't even know my name.
- It is better for him
to take it easy now.
He's going into surgery
tomorrow morning.
- Is he gonna be okay?
- Apart from being a bit
upset, he's doing fine.
- Thanks.
Did you hear that, dad?
You're doing really well.
- Shelly.
I thought you were your sister.
- No, dad, it's me.
- Not Lucy?
- No.
- I couldn't have loved you more, Shay.
You're just as much of
my daughter as Lucy is.
(Melancholic piano music)
- Why not?
- Well, you can sell big
sky, I'm not saying that,
but if you sell now,
taking into account sales of assets,
planes, office furniture,
the lease, everything,
it would leave you with a personal debt
of nearly half a million.
- I thought it would be less than that.
- Nope.
- Well, that wouldn't
be a deal breaker,
a decent buy could carry that.
I mean, the numbers have
been getting better
for six months.
- Sorry, Lauren, the
bank wouldn't wear it.
You're built into the deal.
If you go, you'd have to clear that.
You could declare yourself bankrupt.
Lauren...
Maybe I shouldn't ask,
but do you really
want to take this job?
I thought things were
going well for you.
- (Chuckling) I thought they were too.
- Look, I'll keep digging,
see if I can come up with something.
(Airplane flying overhead)
But if you take this job,
you kill big sky.
There's no way around that.
- Okay, thanks so much,
I'll be in touch.
(Wondrous music)
- So, how's it going
with the Internet babe?
- [Scotty] She's mad for me.
- Scotty, it's just a girl
being friendly with a girl.
She's not mad for anyone.
- You should read the stuff she writes.
- I've read it.
- You read my personal mail?
- Well, that's on Shay's computer.
- Well, what do you think?
Am I in or what?
- You're not anywhere, it's just how
girls talk to each other.
- Really?
- [Sarah] Yeah, really.
What do you think she's gonna do
when she finds out you're a man?
- Jump me, hopefully.
(Puking)
- I feel sick too.
(Puking)
(Knocking)
- Darling.
What's wrong?
What are you staring at?
Shay, what is it?
- I'm adopted, aren't I?
- Oh, don't be silly.
- Mom.
(Tense music)
- It's not because of the discrepancies
of the birth certificate, surely.
- You know what dad said?
He said that he loved me as
much as his own daughter.
(Dramatic music)
It's true, isn't it?
(Dramatic music)
- So, where's everyone?
This is the right strip, isn't it?
- Yeah, positive.
I think.
- Oh, great.
Don't worry, Jamie.
You'll feel better soon, okay?
Deep breaths.
(Exhaling)
Okay.
You guys take this, clean
yourselves up a bit,
I'll be back in a sec.
- I don't understand what happened,
it must've been the adf.
- Well, you miscalculated, didn't you?
- No, it must be.
- Don't blame the
navigational equipment.
- It must've been!
- Come on, kids.
Back on the plane.
(Mysterious music)
- What if we differed?
What if as curator, I disagreed
with the board's decision?
- Well, let me turn that around.
If in a major decision
on an acquisition
you found yourself in strong
disagreement with the board,
what would your next step be?
- I'd have a bit of a chat
to individual members about it.
- Why?
- Well, in my experience,
the boards are never 100% in accord,
especially in this business.
I might be able to-
- open up a second front?
- Yeah.
(Chuckling)
Hey, you never know.
- Lauren, I really would like you
as a serious contender in this.
I may even be able to help a bit.
Now, I have to get out
to bowral this afternoon
to look at a bequest,
I'll be back mid-afternoon tomorrow.
Can you let me know then?
- Okay.
- Good.
Now, I'm sorry to rush you,
but I have to pick up the hire car.
I must say, I'm not looking
forward to the drive.
- Well, let me fly you.
- Oh, I couldn't possibly impose.
- No, no, no, it would be a pleasure.
I mean, what's the point
of running a charter company
if I can't fly people
around when I want to?
- Well, well thanks, thanks very much.
- [Scotty] I gotta go.
- You're not going anywhere
until you help clean up.
- You don't understand!
Allison's waiting, this is it.
- You got us lost, you can help clean.
- I am not gonna go and
meet the woman of my dreams
smelling like I just
spewed all over myself.
- Too late, you already do.
- It's shocking in there.
- What's the story with the adf?
- It's working fine.
Must've been some sun spot
activity or something,
it's okay now.
- It's the curse.
(Groaning)
- Are you all right?
- I'm okay, I'm okay.
Bugger, that plane.
(Glass spills)
- Oh, some guy from the arc called
looking for you?
- [Lauren] Who?
- Some guy.
- Damn, this will take hours.
- Look, if I'm in the
way, I can always...
- No, it's fine!
It just means I won't
be able to take you.
Jimbo, this is grant
holdsworthy, jimbo James.
- Hi.
- How do you do?
- Can you find someone
to take grant to bowral?
- Yeah sure, okay, mm-hmm, sure.
- You or one of the other
pilots fine, but not Chris.
- Why not Chris?
- Jimbo, please.
- Okay, sure.
(Chuckling)
- Jimbo will find you a pilot,
and I'll see you tomorrow.
- Oh good, thanks for this, Lauren.
- No worries.
- Oh, hey, I'd give that a guy a call,
he was like insistent.
- Okay.
- [Jimbo] I'll be with
you in just a minute.
- [Bartender] G'day Scotty, usual?
- Yeah, thanks.
You haven't seen a
gorgeous woman, have you?
About 5'6, blonde?
- No.
No, mate, can't say I have.
And believe me, I would have.
- Yeah, well, she must be running late.
- Scotty, please?
He's a personal friend of Lauren's,
and he's really got to get to bowral,
I can't do it, I'm busy.
I mean, I know that
you're not scheduled
for another run today.
Oh, sorry.
Not you.
- Why not?
I'm free, I'll fly.
- Boss's orders.
- Is that right?
- Yeah, I'm sorry, I can't let you.
- Oh, you can't let me?
(Chuckling)
Well, I officially outrank you.
I'll fly him.
- All right.
It's none of my business
but, if you do fly,
don't take echo whisky
Victor because it's cursed.
- Are you waiting for someone?
- Yeah.
Very late.
(Chuckling)
- Me too.
Probably caught up
shopping or something.
- Alan Campbell.
- Scotty Gibbs.
Is this your first date?
- Shows, does it?
- Yeah.
- It's kind of a blind date.
- Yeah, me too.
Yeah, we met on the net.
- Really?
It's a great way to meet women.
You see, you pretend to be a woman,
see, 'cause chicks open
up to other chicks,
and they tell you stuff.
Ah, you're joking.
(Laughing)
Oh, no!
- Shay, right?
- Yeah.
- You're not as
attractive as your photo.
(Laughing)
- No, neither are you, mate.
(Laughing)
Oh!
- You're that artist bloke
Lauren's been talking about.
- I don't have an
artistic bone in my body.
It's not a prerequisite to head
up the board of a gallery.
- Is that right?
- Curating's another thing though.
And I'm sure Lauren will
be excellent at it,
providing she accepts of course.
- Oh, absolutely, yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, she was very exciting
after the meeting.
- Yeah, well, it'll be a
challenge for anyone.
- How long would that be?
A year or two, I suppose?
- [Grant] Well, three years in perth,
and who knows where after that.
- Yeah, who knows.
(Airplane flying)
- [Lauren] How's your dad?
- I've just found out I'm adopted.
(Somber music)
They lied to me all my life.
- Hey, I'm sure they had good reasons.
- No, it's fair to bet.
Weird anyway, with my family and stuff.
- They're your family, Shay,
there's no doubt they
love you very much.
- You know, how can they love me like
all the rest of the children?
My real mother obviously
didn't love me.
- Of course she loved
you, don't say that.
(Melancholic music)
You don't know the circumstances.
- I don't know anything anymore.
(Somber music)
(Sobbing)
Thank god you guys are around.
(Somber music)
- Big sky, this is echo whiskey Victor.
(Whimsical music)
- Yeah, Chris, what is it?
- Roley, what do you guys do all day?
My port engine's just packed it in.
- [Roley] Impossible,
I saw it off myself.
- [Chris] What do you
think, I'm making it up?
I'm getting Jack of this.
- That bloody plane.
Okay, get back here, I'll do
a complete overhaul again.
Big sky base.
- [Chris] Echo whisky Victor.
- Echo whisky came apart in the sky.
- Lost an engine.
- I believe it.
That man is lucky to be alive.
- You say the word cursed,
and I'll shove you right
through that wall.
(Lighthearted music)
- You should've told me.
- I didn't want to cloud the issue.
- What issue?
Are you gonna leave me?
(Somber piano music)
(Crickets chirping)
(Lighthearted music)
- I'm sorry you had to
find out like this.
- So am I.
And all the times you
called me your little girl.
- You were, you are.
- No, I'm not.
I don't know who I am anymore.
- You're our daughter.
- No, I am somebody else's daughter.
- You are our daughter, Shay,
you've been ours since
you were three days old.
- We love you.
We're your parents.
Isn't that all you need to know?
- No.
- Oh, Shay.
Please don't abandon us.
- Guys, I gotta find
out where I come from.
- I know we did the wrong thing,
but please don't punish us like this.
- It is not about punishment.
It is about finding out who I am!
- You're the same person you
were yesterday, aren't you?
- [Scotty] Fuel knob.
- [Jimbo] Check.
- [Scotty] Engines primed?
- Check.
- Rabbit's foot.
- Check.
- Garlic.
(Dramatic music)
- Check.
- [Lauren] They what?
- They wanted to break this curse.
- There is no curse!
- Hey, look, you know that,
and I know that, but...
- But after several million
drinks last night,
it seemed like a good idea.
This is just ridiculous!
- Yeah, I know.
- Get what's her name on the phone.
- Dawn da silva?
- Yeah, get her to say some
mumbo jumbo or something,
or those two will just
spin this out forever.
(Chanting)
- Echo whisky Victor.
(Chanting)
(Calming music)
- Echo whiskey Victor,
this is big sky base.
- [Scotty] Echo whisky Victor.
- You guys okay up there?
- Yes, that's right.
- Yeah, yeah.
So far, so good.
- We'll keep our fingers
crossed for you, big sky base.
- [Scotty] Echo whisky.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- You look tired.
- (Chuckling) Thanks.
- [Chris] Why'd you leave?
- I had to think.
- I thought we had it all sorted out.
- Chris, you were right, it is too soon
to make a commitment, it
wasn't fair of me to ask.
- Well, I gave you an honest answer.
- Yeah, the first time.
I'm taking the job.
- [Man] Echo whiskey
Victor to make contact,
approach on 12.5.
- Echo whiskey Victor.
Okay.
Piece of piss.
Let's land this baby.
- Let's do it.
Another win for the good guys.
(Chuckling)
(Beeping)
- Oh no.
- [Jimbo] What?
- Oh no.
- What?
- Oh no!
- [Jimbo] What?
- The landing gear won't lock down.
(Dramatic music)
- Hello.
Oh, thanks.
Thank you so much for coming.
(Chanting)
- But I checked!
(Chanting)
It was fine, jimbo, it was fine.
- You're kidding.
- We'll pay you in ride.
- Girls, I'm sorry to say this,
but there's no such thing as a curse,
it's just medieval nonsense.
- But you damned the plane.
- I just swore, I was furious
at missing my deadline.
Do you blame me?
- Look, we've just got some guys,
and they're, you know...
- No, I don't.
- They're superstitious.
- Pilots are superstitious,
like racing car drivers, or cricketers.
- I don't believe this.
I am trying, I have
been trying for years
to bring something
meaningful and worthy
to new age consciousness.
But no, here I am in this
place, lifting a curse.
- If you don't mind.
- So you're just gonna walk
away from all of this?
- Do you think leaving all of this
is taking the easy option?
- What about what you said to me?
- What if it doesn't work out?
- What if it does?
- There are no guarantees.
I'm taking the job, I'm going back
to know what I can do.
- Lauren, please.
Just take a chance.
(Calming music)
- This aircraft is evil.
I'm never flying in it again.
- Yeah?
Well you might not have
to, you might be dead.
(Dramatic music)
No, don't touch it, you might bust it!
- You got a better idea?
- Touch the garlic or something.
- Touch the garlic?
What am I gonna do with that?
- Oh, I don't know,
what'd you bring it for?
- It was your idea!
- Well, so?
You brought all this stuff!
- I'm gonna pump it manually,
just get it up to 1,000.
(Dramatic music)
- Your receipt.
All right, ready?
I feel a bit stupid, but...
By the powers of light and darkness,
I lift the curse on...
- [Lexie] Echo whisky Victor.
- Echo whisky Victor.
Happy?
- Is that it?
- What more do you want?
- Well, you could've put
a bit more into it.
- A bit more what?
That's how you lift curses.
(Mysterious music)
- Why did we do this?
What was I thinking?
I should've known better.
- It just engaged, jimbo.
(Triumphant music)
It just engaged.
(Sobbing)
- I'm okay, I'm okay.
I'm okay.
(Triumphant music)
(Cheering)
- Heroes!
(Cheering)
- Hey.
- A piece of piss.
(Triumphant music)
(Lighthearted theme music)
this year, birthday girl.
Invest in a protective crystal
and good legal advice,
you'll need both.
On the positive side,
a chance encounter
will lead to a sizzling new romance
with a tall dark stranger.
- [Girl] Ooh.
- Sounds like you jimbo.
- Except I'm not dark
and I'm not a stranger,
- oh, well.
- Anyways the star's a crock.
- Oh, you are dark.
- Well, you're darkish but
I don't think you qualify.
- You guys ready?
I'm starving.
- [Red-haired woman] We're
just waiting for these guys.
- Are they at it again?
- [Red-haired woman] Yeah, it's awful.
- Why are they so mean to each other?
(Knocking)
- Guys, we're waiting.
- That was great, thanks guys.
(Chuckling)
- Happy Birthday, again.
We should have had a cake.
- Yeah, we should've.
- No, no way.
- Why not?
- Well, it's really dorky.
You know, the birthday
person sits there
looking really embarrassed
and says stuff like oh,
you shouldn't have.
(Laughing)
- I wonder where that whole
candle blowing tradition came from.
- Uh, that was good king wenceslas
with one of those...
♪ Good king wenceslas ♪
- That was!
It was one of those old kings,
you know, it had something to do with
putting out the light
from years gone by...
- That's beautiful.
- And looking ahead to the future.
- You made that up!
- I didn't make it up,
I read it it in a book!
- Oh, you did not!
You always got to have the story.
- No I didn't, I read it in a book!
(Loud commotion)
- Guys, hello!
- I gotta get going.
- All right.
- No, no, no, you guys stay.
Another half hour won't hurt.
- [Man] Ah, see you later.
- [Woman] You're coming with me.
- But...
- I've got an arc meeting tomorrow,
and we've still got those
maintenance releases
to go through.
- See ya.
- Don't worry guys, we'll fix
up lunch on the way out.
- [All] Thanks.
- [Jimbo] Good luck
with that arc thing.
- I cannot figure them out.
- You know, I wish they'd get over it.
(Door shuts)
- Now, where were we?
(Chuckling)
(Lighthearted theme music)
- Chris!
- What?
- Chris, quick, wake up!
- What?
- We're running late,
we've gotta get up.
I've gotta go home and get changed,
I can't wear the same clothes
I had on yesterday.
- They won't notice.
- They will.
I've got a meeting with
the auditor at nine.
- Mm-hmm.
- And I've...
(Groaning)
Oh!
- Who's Allison and
why is she sending me
photos of herself?
- Oh, I'm sorry I'm late, everyone.
Sorry, sorry.
- [Woman] How have you been?
I've been calling your
house for an hour.
- Oh, I was tied up in traffic.
- I like that jacket.
- Thanks.
- Yeah, it's really nice.
Weren't you wearing that yesterday?
- I stayed at a girlfriend's
place, marriage problems.
Where's Mr. Williams?
- [Woman] Oh, he's gone.
He waited 20 minutes
and then had to go.
- Damn.
- You caught in traffic too, huh?
- Oh, absolutely.
City's in gridlock, I swear.
- I only woke up 10 minutes ago,
I'm here already.
How good was that traffic?
- [Chris] Oh, there was traffic.
- Oh, traffic was good today,
there was not a car on the road.
- Oh, there was traffic.
- There was pretty bad
traffic today, yeah.
- Where's Mr. Williams?
- Gone.
- Oh, bummer.
I'm sorry.
- Oh, it's not your fault.
Shame, Paula noticed my clothes,
I told you they would.
Do you think they suspect anything?
- Nah.
So, what are you doing tonight?
- You.
- [Man] No, this isn't an extra.
- No, but it's not the full one.
They say you need a
complete, original document
for a passport.
This is not it.
- I know that, this is it.
- No, you see, I've seen my friends,
and this one hasn't got as
much information on it.
- [Man] Well, that can vary.
- Well, why?
Why's mine different?
- Ah, there could be
any number of reasons.
- [Shay] Such as?
- Look, I'm not
authorized to discuss it.
You'll have to make an appointment
with one of the supervisors.
- What?
Why?
(Typing)
- It could be anything.
- So this Sarah, was she
born on the same day as you?
- No, she was born about
a year before, I think.
- Well, there you go.
Government rules changes,
bureaucracy stuff up all the time.
I mean, it's still gonna work
to get to Bali, isn't it?
- Yeah, yeah, they said
it was the right one.
- Well then, what's your
problem, it'll be fine.
- Scotty, move.
Hello, big sky.
Sure, I'll put you through.
Allison, who's this girl, Scotty?
- What girl?
- Allison.
Scotty!
- All right, I've been
logging on as you.
- On my personal Internet line?
How often?
- Often.
I couldn't help it!
You see, girls open up to other girls,
they tell each other
stuff about themselves.
If she thought that I was a guy,
then she wouldn't like me as much,
so I sent a photo of you to her,
and she sends a photo of her to me.
You get it?
- It's a lie.
- Shay, there's no such
thing as lies in love.
- You're in love.
- Oof, I am now.
- Scotty, you're a sleaze.
- Shay, I'm a guy, and it's working.
She wants to meet you
tomorrow for lunch.
(Chuckling)
- Oh, I am so not gonna be there.
- Shay, please, listen.
All you have to do is
talk to her, okay?
I'll tell you what to say,
and then I happen to come walking by,
you introduce me as your friend,
and what could be easier?
- Telling the truth in the first place.
- Shay, she loves me.
- Hello, big sky.
- Yeah, but Scotty, you're a girl.
(Chuckling)
- Yeah, but not for long.
See, it's a great trick.
- [Woman] If she finds
out you tricked her,
it's gonna be all over.
- [Scotty] It's not gonna be too late.
- [Woman] You wish.
(Melancholic music)
- What?
- It's my dad, he's had a heart attack.
I've gotta go.
I'll be back later.
(Melancholic music)
Dad.
- Shay.
- What have you done to yourself?
- I don't know.
Had this really bad
pain here last night
before I went to bed.
It just got worse.
And then the pain went to my arm.
Donna had to call an ambulance.
- Hi.
I was wondering when we would meet.
I've heard so much about you.
(Beeping)
Maybe I should go, I'll
leave you two alone.
- No, no, stay, please, stay.
(Beeping)
(Phone ringing)
- Donna.
Is that her name?
Don't tell me she was there.
- Yeah, I met her.
- What does she look like?
- Well, you know, she's all right,
nicer than I expected.
- Did you speak to her?
How old is she?
- Mom.
Do you really want to talk about this?
You're just gonna get angry and hurt.
- Well, why shouldn't I?
26 years of marriage, Shay, 26 years.
Damn it.
No idea how I feel about that woman.
- God, of course I do, how could I not?
- I know.
Let's talk about Bali.
(Lighthearted music)
(Catchy music)
- Hi!
Lexie ciani.
- You're an hour late.
- Yeah, there was a lot of congestion
back at the airport,
I'm really sorry about that.
- You will be if I miss my deadline.
- [Lexie] I read your
column every week.
- Good.
- Yeah, I think it's great.
I heard about those guys
that ambushed you on that TV chat show.
What's their story?
- They've been after me
for years, that lot.
Notice how they're all met?
They're all going to die of cancer,
the lot of them.
- You're doing that to them?
- No!
I mean they're so stressed out,
they're not in touch with themselves.
(Chuckling)
- I thought you meant you were gonna
put a hex on them.
- I'd love to.
How long 'til we land?
- We've got a huge headwind,
we're gonna be a quarter of
an hour late, I'm sorry.
- I told you, I can't be late.
- [Lexie] Sorry.
(Dramatic music)
- [Woman] Is he gonna be all right?
- Well, he's not real good, apparently.
Shay's really upset.
- Poor thing.
Let me know if she calls, okay?
- Yeah, sure.
- Oh, do you want me
to organize a temp?
- Oh, no, no, we'll manage.
Won't we?
Won't we, Scotty?
We'll manage.
- Yeah.
- Lauren!
Grant holdsworthy rang.
Earlier, he wants to
organize a meeting.
- Chairman of the board
of the perth contemporary art gallery.
- Not that you keep up with
the art world of course.
- I wonder what he wants.
I heard a lot about you over the years.
- I've been hearing a lot
of good things about you.
Thanks for coming.
It's good of you to
make yourself available
at such short notice.
You'll have to excuse the office,
they lend it to me when I'm in town,
but I get the feeling it's
usually a storage cupboard.
(Chuckling)
- Not a problem.
- Please, have a seat,
make yourself comfortable.
Now, can I get you some coffee, tea?
- No, no, I'm all right, thanks.
I'm awfully curious.
- Yes, I'm sure you are.
Now, you may know that I'm the
chairman of the board of
the perth cotemporary.
Now, we have just lost our curator,
he's been headhunted by the
Peggy guggenheim in Venice.
- Lucky him.
- Indeed.
But, a huge loss for us.
So I'm left with the unenviable task
of finding his replacement.
Now, we have to advertise
in the national press
and a few countries overseas,
but I want to make sure that the
right people know about it.
So, do you think you'd be interested
in applying for the job?
(Wondrous music)
- I don't give a damn, Peter,
it's not my fault!
It's the least you can do.
No, I cannot give you a
copy over the phone,
I'm not a sportswriter.
- What?
What?
- That's dawn da silva.
- [Scotty] Who's dawn da silva?
- She's a spiritualist
in look magazine,
she's the one who predicted
Kurt cobain would die,
she's amazing.
- How did she do that?
- Well, how would I know?
She's just got all those powers.
- I missed my deadline because of you.
Damn this place!
Why I hired you lot in the first place,
I will never know.
Damn this plane!
- Hey, what did she just
say about the plane?
- She just cursed the bloody aircraft.
- She didn't, did she?
(Melancholic music)
- What?
(Dramatic music)
- Yeah, Sarah's got an extra backpack,
she's gonna borrow it from her brother.
- Well, shouldn't you take a suitcase?
I don't think a backpack
looks very appropriate.
- Mom!
Oh hey, I handled my
birth certificate today,
I'd never seen it before.
- Oh.
- But Sarah's is actually different.
It hasn't got all that, you know,
information on it.
Do you remember why
I haven't got all the witnesses
and stuff on it?
- It's over 20 years ago, darling.
Oh, I don't know.
I suppose they did
things differently then.
- Yeah, I guess.
- You know, the guy, he said
that he wasn't authorized
to discuss it with me.
- Oh, it's some policy thing I imagine.
So, what about after kuta,
where do you go then?
- I'm not really quite sure yet.
(Mysterious music)
- Hi.
Welcome to big sky, we'll
have you in the air
in just a few minutes.
(Mysterious music)
(Battery stopping)
- A flat battery.
It's not possible.
- It is if you leave
the master switch on.
- I switched it off.
- [Man] You sure?
- Of course I'm sure.
- But can you categorically
that you did?
- Well, no, but why would I?
It's part of down flight check,
I always switch it off.
- Well maybe you were worried
about that da silva woman, you know?
You were chasing her.
- She cursed it, it's what it is.
- What the hell are you talking about?
- [Scotty] Well, she's a witch.
- A mystic.
- Mystic, witch, she serves
the dark master, I heard it.
She said "I curse this plane
in the name of beelzebub
"and all the dark forces of Satan."
- Oh, jimbo, shut...
- I'm telling you, well
maybe not the beel...
Tell him.
- Yeah, she cursed it though.
She did, we heard it.
- I tell you what.
I've got an anti-curse device out there
called a power generator.
I hook it up, throw the
battery in, shazam!
How's that?
- It'll never work.
- She cursed it.
- Ah, the entree.
- Oh! (Chuckles)
We might have to re-chill this.
- Ooh.
So, how'd the meeting go with
the chairman of the board?
- [Lauren] Good, good.
- Okay, I'll have
another crack at that.
How'd the meeting go with
the chairman of the board?
- This all looks very snazzy.
The butter knife, what's going on?
- Come on, tell.
- He just wanted to
talk to me about stuff.
- Ooh!
So, the chairman of the board
of the perth contemporary
flies all the way here
just to have a chat?
Yeah, I'll buy that.
(Chuckling)
- We'll talk about it later.
I have to think about it.
It's nothing important,
he just wanted my opinion on a bequest.
(Chuckling)
Open this.
(Vacuuming)
(Laughing)
- Yes!
(Chuckling)
- Where do you see yourself
in, say, three years time?
- I don't know, why?
- Just wondering.
Well?
- Well, if you want to pin me down,
I'd still be chief pilot at big sky,
but the difference would be
we'd have Learjets and grummans,
50 people on staff.
- I wish.
What about personally?
- Personally?
- [Lauren] What would
you like to happen?
- Well, I'd like to be happy.
- I think I'm falling in love with you.
("Gymnopedie no. 1" by Erik satie)
- That's a big thing to say.
- I know.
- We've only been seeing
each other a few weeks.
- Seeing each other.
- Well, well, Lauren...
- No, hey.
It's all right.
Forget I said it.
- Well, you can't unsay it.
- No, I can't.
(Melancholic piano music)
Go back to sleep.
- [Chris] What time is it?
- It's early, go to sleep.
- Lauren.
I'm sorry.
- It's not your fault.
- It just blew me away,
I wasn't expecting it.
(Calming piano music)
- It's all right.
I just needed to know how you felt.
- [Chris] Why, what's happening?
- It doesn't matter.
- Well, what's the hurry?
Can't we just take our time?
We're not going anywhere.
I really like you.
Let's just see how it works out.
- I'm gonna be late.
(Melancholic piano music)
(Beeping)
- Dad?
Dad, what's wrong?
- Lucy?
- No, it's Shay, dad.
- [Dad] I thought you were my daughter.
- There's something wrong,
he's acting really confused.
- He's been very agitated.
We've given him something
to calm him down.
- [Shay] Yeah, but he
doesn't even know my name.
- It is better for him
to take it easy now.
He's going into surgery
tomorrow morning.
- Is he gonna be okay?
- Apart from being a bit
upset, he's doing fine.
- Thanks.
Did you hear that, dad?
You're doing really well.
- Shelly.
I thought you were your sister.
- No, dad, it's me.
- Not Lucy?
- No.
- I couldn't have loved you more, Shay.
You're just as much of
my daughter as Lucy is.
(Melancholic piano music)
- Why not?
- Well, you can sell big
sky, I'm not saying that,
but if you sell now,
taking into account sales of assets,
planes, office furniture,
the lease, everything,
it would leave you with a personal debt
of nearly half a million.
- I thought it would be less than that.
- Nope.
- Well, that wouldn't
be a deal breaker,
a decent buy could carry that.
I mean, the numbers have
been getting better
for six months.
- Sorry, Lauren, the
bank wouldn't wear it.
You're built into the deal.
If you go, you'd have to clear that.
You could declare yourself bankrupt.
Lauren...
Maybe I shouldn't ask,
but do you really
want to take this job?
I thought things were
going well for you.
- (Chuckling) I thought they were too.
- Look, I'll keep digging,
see if I can come up with something.
(Airplane flying overhead)
But if you take this job,
you kill big sky.
There's no way around that.
- Okay, thanks so much,
I'll be in touch.
(Wondrous music)
- So, how's it going
with the Internet babe?
- [Scotty] She's mad for me.
- Scotty, it's just a girl
being friendly with a girl.
She's not mad for anyone.
- You should read the stuff she writes.
- I've read it.
- You read my personal mail?
- Well, that's on Shay's computer.
- Well, what do you think?
Am I in or what?
- You're not anywhere, it's just how
girls talk to each other.
- Really?
- [Sarah] Yeah, really.
What do you think she's gonna do
when she finds out you're a man?
- Jump me, hopefully.
(Puking)
- I feel sick too.
(Puking)
(Knocking)
- Darling.
What's wrong?
What are you staring at?
Shay, what is it?
- I'm adopted, aren't I?
- Oh, don't be silly.
- Mom.
(Tense music)
- It's not because of the discrepancies
of the birth certificate, surely.
- You know what dad said?
He said that he loved me as
much as his own daughter.
(Dramatic music)
It's true, isn't it?
(Dramatic music)
- So, where's everyone?
This is the right strip, isn't it?
- Yeah, positive.
I think.
- Oh, great.
Don't worry, Jamie.
You'll feel better soon, okay?
Deep breaths.
(Exhaling)
Okay.
You guys take this, clean
yourselves up a bit,
I'll be back in a sec.
- I don't understand what happened,
it must've been the adf.
- Well, you miscalculated, didn't you?
- No, it must be.
- Don't blame the
navigational equipment.
- It must've been!
- Come on, kids.
Back on the plane.
(Mysterious music)
- What if we differed?
What if as curator, I disagreed
with the board's decision?
- Well, let me turn that around.
If in a major decision
on an acquisition
you found yourself in strong
disagreement with the board,
what would your next step be?
- I'd have a bit of a chat
to individual members about it.
- Why?
- Well, in my experience,
the boards are never 100% in accord,
especially in this business.
I might be able to-
- open up a second front?
- Yeah.
(Chuckling)
Hey, you never know.
- Lauren, I really would like you
as a serious contender in this.
I may even be able to help a bit.
Now, I have to get out
to bowral this afternoon
to look at a bequest,
I'll be back mid-afternoon tomorrow.
Can you let me know then?
- Okay.
- Good.
Now, I'm sorry to rush you,
but I have to pick up the hire car.
I must say, I'm not looking
forward to the drive.
- Well, let me fly you.
- Oh, I couldn't possibly impose.
- No, no, no, it would be a pleasure.
I mean, what's the point
of running a charter company
if I can't fly people
around when I want to?
- Well, well thanks, thanks very much.
- [Scotty] I gotta go.
- You're not going anywhere
until you help clean up.
- You don't understand!
Allison's waiting, this is it.
- You got us lost, you can help clean.
- I am not gonna go and
meet the woman of my dreams
smelling like I just
spewed all over myself.
- Too late, you already do.
- It's shocking in there.
- What's the story with the adf?
- It's working fine.
Must've been some sun spot
activity or something,
it's okay now.
- It's the curse.
(Groaning)
- Are you all right?
- I'm okay, I'm okay.
Bugger, that plane.
(Glass spills)
- Oh, some guy from the arc called
looking for you?
- [Lauren] Who?
- Some guy.
- Damn, this will take hours.
- Look, if I'm in the
way, I can always...
- No, it's fine!
It just means I won't
be able to take you.
Jimbo, this is grant
holdsworthy, jimbo James.
- Hi.
- How do you do?
- Can you find someone
to take grant to bowral?
- Yeah sure, okay, mm-hmm, sure.
- You or one of the other
pilots fine, but not Chris.
- Why not Chris?
- Jimbo, please.
- Okay, sure.
(Chuckling)
- Jimbo will find you a pilot,
and I'll see you tomorrow.
- Oh good, thanks for this, Lauren.
- No worries.
- Oh, hey, I'd give that a guy a call,
he was like insistent.
- Okay.
- [Jimbo] I'll be with
you in just a minute.
- [Bartender] G'day Scotty, usual?
- Yeah, thanks.
You haven't seen a
gorgeous woman, have you?
About 5'6, blonde?
- No.
No, mate, can't say I have.
And believe me, I would have.
- Yeah, well, she must be running late.
- Scotty, please?
He's a personal friend of Lauren's,
and he's really got to get to bowral,
I can't do it, I'm busy.
I mean, I know that
you're not scheduled
for another run today.
Oh, sorry.
Not you.
- Why not?
I'm free, I'll fly.
- Boss's orders.
- Is that right?
- Yeah, I'm sorry, I can't let you.
- Oh, you can't let me?
(Chuckling)
Well, I officially outrank you.
I'll fly him.
- All right.
It's none of my business
but, if you do fly,
don't take echo whisky
Victor because it's cursed.
- Are you waiting for someone?
- Yeah.
Very late.
(Chuckling)
- Me too.
Probably caught up
shopping or something.
- Alan Campbell.
- Scotty Gibbs.
Is this your first date?
- Shows, does it?
- Yeah.
- It's kind of a blind date.
- Yeah, me too.
Yeah, we met on the net.
- Really?
It's a great way to meet women.
You see, you pretend to be a woman,
see, 'cause chicks open
up to other chicks,
and they tell you stuff.
Ah, you're joking.
(Laughing)
Oh, no!
- Shay, right?
- Yeah.
- You're not as
attractive as your photo.
(Laughing)
- No, neither are you, mate.
(Laughing)
Oh!
- You're that artist bloke
Lauren's been talking about.
- I don't have an
artistic bone in my body.
It's not a prerequisite to head
up the board of a gallery.
- Is that right?
- Curating's another thing though.
And I'm sure Lauren will
be excellent at it,
providing she accepts of course.
- Oh, absolutely, yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, she was very exciting
after the meeting.
- Yeah, well, it'll be a
challenge for anyone.
- How long would that be?
A year or two, I suppose?
- [Grant] Well, three years in perth,
and who knows where after that.
- Yeah, who knows.
(Airplane flying)
- [Lauren] How's your dad?
- I've just found out I'm adopted.
(Somber music)
They lied to me all my life.
- Hey, I'm sure they had good reasons.
- No, it's fair to bet.
Weird anyway, with my family and stuff.
- They're your family, Shay,
there's no doubt they
love you very much.
- You know, how can they love me like
all the rest of the children?
My real mother obviously
didn't love me.
- Of course she loved
you, don't say that.
(Melancholic music)
You don't know the circumstances.
- I don't know anything anymore.
(Somber music)
(Sobbing)
Thank god you guys are around.
(Somber music)
- Big sky, this is echo whiskey Victor.
(Whimsical music)
- Yeah, Chris, what is it?
- Roley, what do you guys do all day?
My port engine's just packed it in.
- [Roley] Impossible,
I saw it off myself.
- [Chris] What do you
think, I'm making it up?
I'm getting Jack of this.
- That bloody plane.
Okay, get back here, I'll do
a complete overhaul again.
Big sky base.
- [Chris] Echo whisky Victor.
- Echo whisky came apart in the sky.
- Lost an engine.
- I believe it.
That man is lucky to be alive.
- You say the word cursed,
and I'll shove you right
through that wall.
(Lighthearted music)
- You should've told me.
- I didn't want to cloud the issue.
- What issue?
Are you gonna leave me?
(Somber piano music)
(Crickets chirping)
(Lighthearted music)
- I'm sorry you had to
find out like this.
- So am I.
And all the times you
called me your little girl.
- You were, you are.
- No, I'm not.
I don't know who I am anymore.
- You're our daughter.
- No, I am somebody else's daughter.
- You are our daughter, Shay,
you've been ours since
you were three days old.
- We love you.
We're your parents.
Isn't that all you need to know?
- No.
- Oh, Shay.
Please don't abandon us.
- Guys, I gotta find
out where I come from.
- I know we did the wrong thing,
but please don't punish us like this.
- It is not about punishment.
It is about finding out who I am!
- You're the same person you
were yesterday, aren't you?
- [Scotty] Fuel knob.
- [Jimbo] Check.
- [Scotty] Engines primed?
- Check.
- Rabbit's foot.
- Check.
- Garlic.
(Dramatic music)
- Check.
- [Lauren] They what?
- They wanted to break this curse.
- There is no curse!
- Hey, look, you know that,
and I know that, but...
- But after several million
drinks last night,
it seemed like a good idea.
This is just ridiculous!
- Yeah, I know.
- Get what's her name on the phone.
- Dawn da silva?
- Yeah, get her to say some
mumbo jumbo or something,
or those two will just
spin this out forever.
(Chanting)
- Echo whisky Victor.
(Chanting)
(Calming music)
- Echo whiskey Victor,
this is big sky base.
- [Scotty] Echo whisky Victor.
- You guys okay up there?
- Yes, that's right.
- Yeah, yeah.
So far, so good.
- We'll keep our fingers
crossed for you, big sky base.
- [Scotty] Echo whisky.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- You look tired.
- (Chuckling) Thanks.
- [Chris] Why'd you leave?
- I had to think.
- I thought we had it all sorted out.
- Chris, you were right, it is too soon
to make a commitment, it
wasn't fair of me to ask.
- Well, I gave you an honest answer.
- Yeah, the first time.
I'm taking the job.
- [Man] Echo whiskey
Victor to make contact,
approach on 12.5.
- Echo whiskey Victor.
Okay.
Piece of piss.
Let's land this baby.
- Let's do it.
Another win for the good guys.
(Chuckling)
(Beeping)
- Oh no.
- [Jimbo] What?
- Oh no.
- What?
- Oh no!
- [Jimbo] What?
- The landing gear won't lock down.
(Dramatic music)
- Hello.
Oh, thanks.
Thank you so much for coming.
(Chanting)
- But I checked!
(Chanting)
It was fine, jimbo, it was fine.
- You're kidding.
- We'll pay you in ride.
- Girls, I'm sorry to say this,
but there's no such thing as a curse,
it's just medieval nonsense.
- But you damned the plane.
- I just swore, I was furious
at missing my deadline.
Do you blame me?
- Look, we've just got some guys,
and they're, you know...
- No, I don't.
- They're superstitious.
- Pilots are superstitious,
like racing car drivers, or cricketers.
- I don't believe this.
I am trying, I have
been trying for years
to bring something
meaningful and worthy
to new age consciousness.
But no, here I am in this
place, lifting a curse.
- If you don't mind.
- So you're just gonna walk
away from all of this?
- Do you think leaving all of this
is taking the easy option?
- What about what you said to me?
- What if it doesn't work out?
- What if it does?
- There are no guarantees.
I'm taking the job, I'm going back
to know what I can do.
- Lauren, please.
Just take a chance.
(Calming music)
- This aircraft is evil.
I'm never flying in it again.
- Yeah?
Well you might not have
to, you might be dead.
(Dramatic music)
No, don't touch it, you might bust it!
- You got a better idea?
- Touch the garlic or something.
- Touch the garlic?
What am I gonna do with that?
- Oh, I don't know,
what'd you bring it for?
- It was your idea!
- Well, so?
You brought all this stuff!
- I'm gonna pump it manually,
just get it up to 1,000.
(Dramatic music)
- Your receipt.
All right, ready?
I feel a bit stupid, but...
By the powers of light and darkness,
I lift the curse on...
- [Lexie] Echo whisky Victor.
- Echo whisky Victor.
Happy?
- Is that it?
- What more do you want?
- Well, you could've put
a bit more into it.
- A bit more what?
That's how you lift curses.
(Mysterious music)
- Why did we do this?
What was I thinking?
I should've known better.
- It just engaged, jimbo.
(Triumphant music)
It just engaged.
(Sobbing)
- I'm okay, I'm okay.
I'm okay.
(Triumphant music)
(Cheering)
- Heroes!
(Cheering)
- Hey.
- A piece of piss.
(Triumphant music)
(Lighthearted theme music)
