Big Sky (1997–1999): Season 1, Episode 37 - Dark Horses - full transcript
(Crickets chirping)
- When we all had to jump on Dorothy,
that's was the best part.
- You're not supposed
to jump on Dorothy,
you're supposed to protect
her from the witch.
- Me and Jason covert jumped.
- Oh well, I hope you didn't hurt her.
- [Boy] She used to
kick us in rehearsal
if we forget our lines.
- [Chris] Oh, everybody's a critic.
- Why didn't Tom come, mum?
- I told you darling,
he had to work tonight.
- Tom?
- Yeah, you know, I've been
seeing him for months.
- [Chris] Night, mate.
- Thanks for coming, dad.
- I wouldn't of missed
it for the world.
I'll see you next weekend.
- What are we doing?
- It's a surprise, you'll
have to wait and see.
- Coffee?
- Yeah, I'd love one.
Did you hear the Robinson's tonight?
Screaming match in the car park.
Jeez, I hope we were never like that.
- We had our moments.
- Oh, yeah but we worked
it out, you know,
'cause we're friends.
- Chris?
- Oh, yeah?
- Chris, it's about Tom, things
are getting pretty serious.
- Yeah I figured they must be
if the kids are asking about him.
- Well I thought I should let you know,
he's asked me to marry him.
(Solemn music)
- So what, you want a divorce?
Make it official?
- Yes, no, well I don't know
if I want to marry him.
I want to know what you think.
- Why?
- Well, why not?
Apart from the kids,
you're the person this'll
affect the most.
- Well what do you think I'm gonna say?
Yeah fine, get a substitute
father, see if I care.
Get any old dickhead.
- You know what I mean.
- Yeah, I know what you mean.
You want me to make
up your mind for you,
that's not fair, Robbie.
- This not just about
you, it's about me...
- Oh yeah, it is about me,
I'm the one living by myself,
I'm the one that's gonna
be watching somebody else
be a father to my kids.
- Don't make me feel guilty
about us splitting up.
That's the real problem isn't it?
You've never been able
to accept the fact
that our marriage is over.
- What?
- Chris, can't we just talk about this
calmly and rationally?
- You are kidding, aren't you?
- Chris!
- I'd like to see the
weasel try and avoid me
when I show up in person.
- Good luck.
- This'll teach him
not to take my calls.
Do you know where he is?
I have to speak to him about
some serious discrepancies
with our refueling bills.
- You made an appointment
to see trev, for today?
- No, he's always busy when I call.
- Well right, 'cause you
wouldn't of seen him today,
it's picnic races.
- So who else can sign for the freight?
- Bazza could.
- Good, and where is he?
- Picnic races.
- I'll just have to
go to the races then.
- You will, won't ya.
- Chris, Mr. jaker's
wife was meant to be on
your return flight from cavenagh
but we've got record of her booking.
- Well, I picked up everybody
that was at the air strip.
- Well, she's slim, has dark hair,
hang on, I've got a photo.
- No, I didn't see her,
she might of gone with another company.
- No, no, she definitely said big sky.
- Maybe she forgot to book
or she was running late?
- Patty wouldn't be late,
not today of all days.
Look, I have to fly
out there right now.
- All right, well I
just gotta make a call.
- No, I have to go now,
something must of happened.
- Well I have to make a
call and the aircraft's
gotta be refueled anyway.
- Right, well just as
soon as you can, please.
- Just take a seat Mr.
jaker, he won't be long.
- Robbie, I'm sorry, okay?
Please pick the phone up,
I know you're there.
We gotta talk about this,
Robbie, please pick up the phone.
(Phone beeps)
- [Tom] Everything all right?
- Yeah, sorry I'm coming, I
just forgot to set the machine.
- Okay, come on.
- Chocolates, flowers, perfume, books.
- Yeah, I dunno what books
or perfume she likes
or whether she's allergic to chocolate.
- Shay, I gotta go out.
If Robbie calls can you let me know?
- Sure.
- Jimbo, can you just
keep an eye on the place
'till Lauren gets back?
Mr. jaker.
- No worries.
- What's the matter with him?
- It makes perfect sense to me,
I'm next in terms of seniority, hmm?
- Jimbo, I didn't mean that,
I meant there's something
up with Chris.
- It's probably him and Lauren again.
- Alex, this is terrible,
I should know what to
get my own mother.
- Why, you've never met her
before, how could you know?
- Yeah but your mothers
someone you should know
what to get instinctively
because she's your own mother,
you know what I mean?
- Aw, that's ridiculous,
you've never met the woman,
how're you supposed to
know what she likes?
- Big sky base this is
tango whisky Sierra.
- [Jimbo] Big sky, Lauren,
how's it hangin'?
- Can you tell Chris I'll be
stuck out here for awhile,
he'll have to hold the fort.
- No can do, Chris had to
do an unscheduled flight,
I'm not sure when he'll be back.
- Somebody needs to be in charge
in case anything comes up.
- Lauren, you're talkin' to him.
- (Chuckles) Jimbo, I'm serious.
- And so am I, Chris
has already asked me
to keep an eye on things.
- He did?
- Lauren, it might surprise you to know
that the mantle of responsibility sits
rather easily on these shoulders.
- Yeah, well try and avert any disaster
until one of us gets back.
- The place is in safe hands,
tango whisky, big sky.
(Suspenseful music)
- I'm looking for my
wife, Patricia jaker.
- Yeah, she was meant to
be on my flight before,
back to Sydney.
- Ah yeah, she said that
you'd probably come.
- Oh, thank god, where is she?
- She left this for you.
(Solemn music)
- Look, I have to go
to irwin right now.
- What's going on?
- Listen, my wife's ill,
I can't waste time,
I have to go there right now.
- I'm due at a very important meeting,
it started half an hour ago.
- Well I was stuck in a
holding pad and you see,
there's not a lot I can do about that.
- Yeah look, we're sorry sir,
this sort of thing happens
when there's a lot of traffic.
- I wanna talk to whoever's in charge
of this tin pot outfit.
- Good morning sir, jimbo James.
- Are you the manager?
- I'm acting on her behalf
and on behalf of Ms. Allen
and all of us here at big sky,
I'd like to apologize
for any inconvenience
you've been caused.
- [Man] That hardly...
- And to compensate you for our failure
to provide the efficient service
we so proud ourselves on
here at big sky, I'd like
to offer you a 50% discount
on this flight and an
upgrade to executive class
next time you fly with us.
- Oh, well...
- And, my personal assurance
that this will never happen again.
- [Man] Thank you.
- No sir, thank you.
- [Shay] Executive class?
- Hey, he was happy wasn't he?
- Lauren won't be.
- Well she was happy enough
to leave me in charge.
- Why wasn't I left in charge?
- Scotty, please.
- What?
I coulda handled that guy!
(Crowd cheering)
- It'd help if I knew
what he looked like.
I give up, this is a waste of a trip.
- Maybe not, feel like a flutter?
- [Lauren] (Chuckles) No, no, no,
my gambling days are behind me.
- I haven't got much money
and we're here anyway.
Forgive me Pauline,
that's my name, Pauline!
And that one, derby express.
- What're you doing?
They're both long shots.
- Aw, think of the quinella,
think how much we'd win.
- Okay, that's all I'm spending.
- Okay.
(Crowd cheering)
- Oh my god, Pauline's at the front!
- Aw, look at derby express,
he's coming out of nowhere!
- Go Pauline!
- Come on, go!
Go Pauline!
(Crowd cheering)
Oh my god!
We won!
Come on!
This is so unreal, I can't believe it!
- No, sorry, I didn't
give you this ticket.
- What're you talking about?
It's got your signature on it.
- Must be a forgery.
- Don't be ridiculous, I
saw you give it to her.
- I've been standin'
with Bob the whole time,
I haven't seen either of ya.
- This is your writing, you
recorded the bit in the book.
- No, I can't see anything there.
- Yeah, well give me a look.
- Hey, get your hands off it!
- Come on, we won the
quinella, we want our money.
- I'm tellin' ya, you
haven't won anything.
- I made this for my mum when
I was about six years old.
But my dad brought this proper one
so I was too embarrassed
to give it to her.
- And you kept it all these years?
- Yeah, dunno why, I guess,
I just wanted you to have something
that was really from me,
you know what I mean?
- It's beautiful, Shay.
It's the best present I've ever had.
- Yeah?
Happy Birthday.
- Thanks.
(Suspenseful music)
- I thought she was getting better,
she'd been in a hell farm, you know,
I thought everything was
gonna be all right.
You married?
- Separated.
- Well, I could never leave
Patty, no matter what.
- Well, you know, stuff
happens, you make mistakes.
- (Sniggers) Mistakes?
You leave your wife just
because of a mistake?
Can't of been much of a marriage.
- Listen, don't get
judgemental on my marriage,
it's not the right time.
- Did she leave you?
- We left each other.
- No worries, it's
just a justification,
I mean, who's fault
was it, was it yours?
- If you don't mind, I don't
wanna talk about my marriage,
it's a bit raw at the moment.
- [Mr. jaker] It was your fault.
- No it wasn't.
- Well it was her fault
then, you blame her.
- It wasn't her fault
and it wasn't my fault,
it just happened, end.
(Solemn music)
- She's left me.
Patty left me.
Well that can't happen.
- It's not my writing.
- It's the same as the other entries.
- I don't remember writing it.
- Aw, yeah right, just
like your signature.
How about I contact the police
or maybe we should get on
to the racing authorities.
- Give 'em the money, Bob.
- Thank goodness, finally
someone is seeing sense.
- Everybody in this town works hard
for their money, lady, $9,832.
- Thank you.
- Jimbo?
- Hmm?
- What's going on?
- Well, if I'm in charge,
this is where I belong.
- But you've changed all
the furniture around?
- Shay, the feng shui in
this office was a shocker.
The most powerful position
is facing the door,
so you're dominant.
And the filing cabinet had to
be much closer to the desk,
so I can just reach over
and get what I want
without having to get up.
- That seems like a good idea.
- The key to good management
is having information
at your fingertips.
- Maybe we should keep
it this way then.
- Yeah, well I like to think
I can make a contribution
while I have the chance.
- Do you think you can
look at these letters
and see if I've worded them correctly?
- Sure, anything for you.
- Do you want a coffee?
- Yeah, I'd love one.
Oh and, Shay?
- Yeah?
- If I could have some
of those biscuits
with the little almond
sprinkles, that'd be good.
- I'll check, I'll look.
- Oh dear.
- No sign of him, I'm starting
to think Trevor stanner
doesn't even exist.
- Are you sure you don't wanna
go and look for him in town?
- After the reception
we got at the races
I just wanna get out of here.
(Engine splutters)
- [Woman] What's wrong with this?
- [Lauren] You must of seen if somebody
was hanging around the plane.
- [Man] No, no, nobody's been around.
- Our Magneto's been stolen,
what're you gonna do about it?
- [Man] You can call the coppers?
- Forget it, just give us another one
and we'll get out of here.
- Magneto's, I don't know
if I've got any in stock.
You're out of luck, ladies.
- Terrific.
- Hang on, hang on, it's your
lucky day, I got one left.
- [Lauren] Aw great, how much?
- $9,832.
(Suspenseful music)
- She's staying at her
sisters, naturally.
If I can just talk to her,
I can talk to her, get
all this sorted out.
I would have done anything
for her, you know?
Anything.
She blames me for everything
that happened, I know that.
You're copping some
blame too, aren't ya?
- Yep.
- Got any kids?
- Two.
- How old?
- Nine and five.
- Well, Jamie would of
been three next birthday.
She's leaving me because
of Jamie, I know that.
Wasn't my fault.
It wasn't my fault.
- You'll have to find someone else,
I can't desert my
responsibilities here.
- Okay, well you have to
have a look at the schedule
and see who else can take Mr.
Perry then, okay?
Mr. Perry?
Look, I'm sorry, somethings come up,
jimbo's unable to take you.
Help yourself to a coffee
and I'll find another
pilot for you, okay?
- Shay?
I don't feel that it's
entirely appropriate
that you refer to me by my first
name in front of clients.
- Well Lauren never wants
me to call her Ms. Allen.
- Shay, I don't think that a casual,
overly familiar workplace
is the corporate image
we should be cultivating at this time.
Hey, I'm still good old jimbo
after work at the pub,
but when we're in the office,
let's be a little bit
more professional.
- [Lauren] This is extortion.
- [Woman] What is wrong
with you people?
We won that money fair and square.
- I told you how much
the Magneto costs,
you don't wanna pay,
none of my business.
- A Magneto costs nothing like that.
I'm going to the police.
- [Man] Jonny.
- Oh, here's a local cop, great.
- You still still here?
- Well thanks to whoever
stole our Magneto.
And now we're being told
that the price of a new one
is exactly what we won at the track.
- Look, I don't know nothin'
about prices of planes,
you have to take that up
with consumer affairs.
- You're a cop, aren't you?
Our planes been
sabotaged, do something.
- Sure, we'll go down the station,
I'll fill out a report,
make some enquiries
and you'll have to stay
in town while I'm at it.
- Well, how long do you
think that will take?
- A week, maybe two.
- What's going on?
- Some people round
here aren't too happy
about a couple strangers
cleaning them up
at their own races.
- Charlie won't be out
for at least four hours.
- Fantastic, stranded in
a town that hates us.
What're we gonna do about the money?
I don't wanna get jumped by a local.
- There's a lovely thought.
- No, we do karate.
- [Robbie] Bye.
- [Chris] Come on, Robbie,
if you're there please
pick the phone up.
- Chris, will you stop harassing me?
- I'm not, you wanted
to talk about Tom,
let's talk about Tom.
- What's the point?
You don't sound any calmer
than you were last night.
- Look, I'm sorry about that,
I'm calm now, I'm perfectly calm.
- Look, I know this is hard for you,
it's hard for both of us.
- Excuse me, how is it hard for you?
You've got somebody, you've
the kids, what have I got?
- [Robbie] Why is this
always about you?
Chris, we both knew this
might happen some day.
- Oh yeah, and the other
one just has to wear it.
- This is my life.
God, this is hopeless.
- Hello, Chris.
- Who's that?
Is that you, Tom?
Put Robbie back on.
- I don't think you should
call her for a while,
not 'till you've calmed down, okay?
You're just upsetting her.
- Listen pal, I don't know what...
(Phone disconnects)
Hello?
Tom?
- Listen, we're happy to help you out
but we're not doing all
your flights for you.
- Yeah, we're running
round like mad idiots,
you're gonna have to do
at least some of them.
- [Shay] Well he can't, he's too busy.
- I only wish I could.
I'm a pilot like the rest of you,
but I've been chosen to bare
the burden of management.
And so I don't betray the trust
and faith you've placed in me,
I have to stay, sadly, on the ground.
- Come one, you just can't
let him provoke you.
(Phone ringing)
Leave it, it'll just be him again.
- Look, hanging up on him
isn't going to sort out anything, okay?
Hello?
- Come on, Robbie, what is this?
You're getting your boyfriend
to deal with me now?
- No, I didn't, Tom's
just worried that's all.
- [Chris] Well he's got nothing
to worry about from me,
for god's sake.
- Chris, I know, I'm
sorry but we can't talk
about any of this if you
keep losing your cool.
- Robbie, I'm not losing my cool.
- [Robbie] You are, listen to yourself.
- Robbie, all I wanted
to say is that the kids
and you are the most important
people in the world to me,
are you listening to that?
- Well, you're getting
screwed, aren't you?
- Yes I am.
- Don't let her push you around.
- What choice have I got?
- Well you've got plenty of choice,
you get rid of the
boyfriend for a start.
Yeah, Patty's the same,
she doesn't realize what she's doing,
I've gotta teach her a lesson.
- [Chris] Just shut up, will you?
(Suspenseful music)
- [Woman] Look who our
friendly publican is.
- Excuse me, we'd like
to get something to eat,
can we see a menu please?
I said we'd like to
get something to eat.
- He's not deaf,
he just doesn't serve
bloodsuckers like you.
- So how come you're here?
- Hey, watch what you're saying.
You got a nerve showing your face here!
- I told ya I was sorry,
Bob, I couldn't help it.
- Don't serve him, shirl.
- Listen, look, I have
to get to rathdown,
if she's not at her sisters place,
that's where she'll be.
- [Chris] Sorry mate, the trips over.
- She'll be at the guest
house, I know that.
- What're you gonna do
when you get there?
- Oh look, come on, it's
quarter of an hour by plane,
if I can get there, I can stop her.
- Stop her doing what?
Look, I'll take you back to the city,
you can go home, calm down, relax.
- I have to get my wife back.
- Maybe the reason you
can't find your wife
is because she doesn't wanna be found,
ever think of that?
- Just mind your own business
and get in the plane!
- I'm sorry for whatever's gone on
between you and your wife,
must of been a nightmare.
But I'm not taking you
anywhere near her,
I'll see ya later.
(Intense music)
- Excuse me?
Sorry about this ladies,
it's all my fault.
- What is?
- You winning the race,
you weren't meant to.
- [Woman] Obviously.
- Of course, I wasn't meant to either.
I rode the winner, it
was meant to be a fix
but I messed it up.
You see, Jonny and rob and
Phil and a couple of blokes
on the local shy,
they just needed 10 grand to buy
some equipment for the hospital,
so they figured the fix'd be
the easiest way to get it.
Only, I never won a race
in my life, you know?
20 years of donkeys and
suddenly I could see
the winning post coming straight at me
and I knew I could do it.
I just wanted everyone
to know that Danny Craig
could ride a winner after all.
- Nice try.
Everything else fails
so spin a sob story
and make us hand the money back, right?
- I'll go and get Phil
if you don't believe me.
Just wait in the pub, please?
Please?
- [Jimbo] I've gotta do
something to manage the stress.
- Jimbo, you can have your
go when I'm finished.
- When your...
Shouldn't you be on a run?
- This is the first chance
I've had to relax all day,
thanks to you.
- Know what you've just done, Lexi?
You've crossed the line
and I won't forget that.
Did you get my lunch?
- Well, I couldn't get
Peking duck takeaways,
chicken cashew all right?
- I guess it'll have to.
- See?
- What d'ya want me to do?
- Do anything, just stop the
guy, he thinks he's god.
- So?
All pilots think they're god.
- Roley, we really need help.
- Look guys, I don't buy
into pilot business,
I'm an engineer.
Just as long as he stays away from me.
- Thank you.
- So, Danny's let the cat
out of the bag, has he?
Can't trust him to do anything right.
- [Lauren] It is true?
- Lots of kids around here got asthma,
we need a pediatric ventilator
but the government won't
give us anything.
The little towns like ours,
we're always overlooked when
the money's handed out.
- So have a few fund raisers,
couple of cake stalls.
- You think we haven't tried?
Never eaten so many
lamington's in my life.
The people around here
are the stingiest
lot you've ever met.
I mean, they're happy to
throw it away on horses,
but donate to a worth cause?
Forget it.
And that's how we came up
with this race fixing idea.
It was perfect, except
for bloody Danny Craig.
- Why didn't you tell
us all this before?
- It's not exactly legal.
- Well I'm very sorry that
it didn't work out for you.
- It's not your fault,
looks like it's back
to the cake stalls.
- I don't believe it.
- Neither do I.
- [Man] Who do you think you are?
- Jimbo, forget the stupid titles,
we are all the same here,
we are all just pilots.
- Of course, it's just that some pilots
are a little more
important than others.
- Yeah, the chief pilot
pal and he's not here.
- I am the representative of
the chief pilot in his absence
ergo, I am chief pilot.
- Yeah, well that doesn't
give you the right
to take over the pinball
machine, buddy.
- It is only fair, it is
a reward for the stress
and demands of being in authority.
- You're not in authority!
- I have a mandate directly from above
and in that capacity,
I've seen sit to make a
few changes around here,
if you don't feel
comfortable with that,
you are more than welcome to leave.
- What?
- And you better start towing the line
and remembering who's
in charge around here
or they'll be trouble.
Do I make myself clear?
- That's it, he's completely flipped.
- Let's assassinate him.
- Oh, that's a bit extreme, isn't it?
- Military coo, an armed uprising.
- Can you have an armed uprising
with half a dozen pilots?
And what're we gonna
arm ourselves with?
- [Shay] Chris and Lauren
will know what to do.
- Well I tried that, I can't
contact either of them.
- Can't we just ignore him?
I mean he doesn't have any power
if we don't pay him attention, right?
- Passive resistance.
Well it worked for Gandhi
and Martin Luther King...
Oh and they were both...
- Assassinated.
- Don't move, the ambulance
will be here in a minute.
What happened?
We just found ya lying here?
- How long ago?
- About 10 minutes, we called
the ambulance straight away.
- Did you see a bloke leave
here in a cab or a hire car?
- A dark haired guy hired a
car about 20 minutes ago.
- I gotta get back there.
- You better not, you're in
no condition to even move.
(Chris groans)
- Big sky, this is Charlie tango delta.
- This is big sky, go
ahead Charlie tango.
- Shay, you gotta get on
to the police at rathdown,
there's a guy, his names Warwick jager,
he's trying to find his wife,
she's staying at a guest
house down there.
He's violent, I don't know
what he'll do if he finds her.
I'm on my way down there now.
- Okay, be careful.
(Suspenseful music)
- Patty!
Patty?
- If they needed the
money that desperately,
they should of come up
with a better scheme.
I don't think we're under any
obligation to give it back.
- What if a child dies because
it hasn't got a ventilator?
- Wouldn't be our fault.
- Well it would, sort of.
- Four and a half grand,
I've never had that
much money in my life.
- It's time.
- Shay!
Shay!
Hello, jimbo James,
general manager, big sky?
What?
Wait, that delivery, it
should be on it's way.
Look, I'll contact the pilot
and find out what's going on, okay?
If I can just put you on hold.
Yeah, no, I'll just put you on...
Scotty!
Scotty, what's going on?
You're supposed to be in
mildura with that insecticide
and where's Lexi?
There's people in cooma waiting
for her to pick them up.
- Jimbo, they're your job,
we're not doin' them.
- My job...
Look I am in charge here, if I'm...
- As far as we're concerned
you're not in charge,
we longer recognize
your authority, okay?
From now on, we're gonna be
doing our jobs and that's all.
- Oh, Scotty.
Mate, you know you could go a long way,
you could go right to the top,
by my side, be my eyes and ears.
- Good stuff, I'm not doing
anything more for you.
- That was your last chance, son.
- Here you go, one Magneto.
That's 9,800...
- And $32.
- And on behalf of the hospital,
it's much appreciated.
- Oh look, it's our Magneto.
- They all look the same to me.
- Can I please have a receipt,
if I'm gonna be buying
back my own part,
I wanna claim as much
tax as I possibly can.
(Intense music)
- Do you have a Mrs. Patrica
jaker staying here?
- I'm sorry, we're unable to give
out information about guests.
- Well her husbands looking for her,
he's violent, I wanna warn her.
- Would you like to
speak to the manager?
- No, I don't wanna speak
to the bloody manager,
what room's she in?
- If you just wait one moment.
Mr. markham.
- Patty, is there someone else?
Is that why?
- Is it was in the note,
just leave me alone.
- A note?
Five years wiped away with a note.
(Intense music)
- [Chris] Patricia?
- I don't want to house,
I don't want anything,
it can't bring Jamie back.
- You've never stopped blaming
me for that, have you?
I didn't see the other
car, it wasn't my fault.
I'm here now Patty, talk to me.
Please?
Talk to me.
(Intense music)
- Excuse me, can I help you?
- Come on, Patty, you
don't wanna do this.
- I have to.
- And what am I gonna do?
I mean, I don't have you
and I don't have Jamie.
What am I gonna do?
- I can't be responsible
for you anymore.
- Okay.
(Patricia screams)
- [Patricia] What are you doing?
Leave me alone!
- Come on!
(Patricia struggling)
- [Warwick] Come on!
- No!
- Patty.
- Warwick!
Warwick, what are you doing?
Warwick!
- You did this to me, Patty.
- [Chris] Warwick!
- [Patricia] (Screams) No!
(Solemn music)
- You can't sack us.
- Yeah, we don't recognize
your authority, remember?
- My authority comes from above.
My authority comes directly
from the president.
- The president?
I don't recall us having a president?
- Looks like one just voted himself in.
- I declare you all,
forthwith, to be none pilots.
- What's that supposed to mean?
- That means you are to
vacate the base immediately.
- [Scotty] Or what?
- Voluntary repatriation is preferable
to enforced pilot cleansing,
don't force my hand, Gibbs.
- What's going on here?
- I was just doin' my job, roley.
Whatever I did, I did for
the good of the company,
for the pilots, never for me.
- Not what I heard.
So how come they gotcha doing this?
- I know, it's a long way to fall.
But on the way down I found something,
something I'd lost, something valuable,
(sighs) My humility.
- What?
- I know, I realized you
can't be a leader of men
if you forget that you
are but one of them.
- Lauren, tell me the
decimals in the wrong place?
- Nope.
- You paid nearly
$10,000 for a Magneto?
- Worth every cent.
- What's it made of, solid gold?
- You could say that.
- Hi.
I just wanted to say sorry
for giving you a hard time about Tom.
If he really makes you happy.
- I think he will.
- Then you've got my blessing.
Of course, he's still a dickhead.
Seriously though, I hope you
have better luck than we did.
As long as I can still see the kids.
- Of course.
I'm sorry about the way I handled it.
I guess I thought if I
made it out to be easy
then somehow it would be.
- No, I think you were right,
I've never really accepted
that we were finished.
But, I don't think I'll
ever get over you.
- How can you say that?
I'm thinking of marrying someone else
and you say something like that.
- So shoot me, it's true.
- You still feel that way about me?
- You know I do.
(Robbie giggles)
(Gentle music)
- When we all had to jump on Dorothy,
that's was the best part.
- You're not supposed
to jump on Dorothy,
you're supposed to protect
her from the witch.
- Me and Jason covert jumped.
- Oh well, I hope you didn't hurt her.
- [Boy] She used to
kick us in rehearsal
if we forget our lines.
- [Chris] Oh, everybody's a critic.
- Why didn't Tom come, mum?
- I told you darling,
he had to work tonight.
- Tom?
- Yeah, you know, I've been
seeing him for months.
- [Chris] Night, mate.
- Thanks for coming, dad.
- I wouldn't of missed
it for the world.
I'll see you next weekend.
- What are we doing?
- It's a surprise, you'll
have to wait and see.
- Coffee?
- Yeah, I'd love one.
Did you hear the Robinson's tonight?
Screaming match in the car park.
Jeez, I hope we were never like that.
- We had our moments.
- Oh, yeah but we worked
it out, you know,
'cause we're friends.
- Chris?
- Oh, yeah?
- Chris, it's about Tom, things
are getting pretty serious.
- Yeah I figured they must be
if the kids are asking about him.
- Well I thought I should let you know,
he's asked me to marry him.
(Solemn music)
- So what, you want a divorce?
Make it official?
- Yes, no, well I don't know
if I want to marry him.
I want to know what you think.
- Why?
- Well, why not?
Apart from the kids,
you're the person this'll
affect the most.
- Well what do you think I'm gonna say?
Yeah fine, get a substitute
father, see if I care.
Get any old dickhead.
- You know what I mean.
- Yeah, I know what you mean.
You want me to make
up your mind for you,
that's not fair, Robbie.
- This not just about
you, it's about me...
- Oh yeah, it is about me,
I'm the one living by myself,
I'm the one that's gonna
be watching somebody else
be a father to my kids.
- Don't make me feel guilty
about us splitting up.
That's the real problem isn't it?
You've never been able
to accept the fact
that our marriage is over.
- What?
- Chris, can't we just talk about this
calmly and rationally?
- You are kidding, aren't you?
- Chris!
- I'd like to see the
weasel try and avoid me
when I show up in person.
- Good luck.
- This'll teach him
not to take my calls.
Do you know where he is?
I have to speak to him about
some serious discrepancies
with our refueling bills.
- You made an appointment
to see trev, for today?
- No, he's always busy when I call.
- Well right, 'cause you
wouldn't of seen him today,
it's picnic races.
- So who else can sign for the freight?
- Bazza could.
- Good, and where is he?
- Picnic races.
- I'll just have to
go to the races then.
- You will, won't ya.
- Chris, Mr. jaker's
wife was meant to be on
your return flight from cavenagh
but we've got record of her booking.
- Well, I picked up everybody
that was at the air strip.
- Well, she's slim, has dark hair,
hang on, I've got a photo.
- No, I didn't see her,
she might of gone with another company.
- No, no, she definitely said big sky.
- Maybe she forgot to book
or she was running late?
- Patty wouldn't be late,
not today of all days.
Look, I have to fly
out there right now.
- All right, well I
just gotta make a call.
- No, I have to go now,
something must of happened.
- Well I have to make a
call and the aircraft's
gotta be refueled anyway.
- Right, well just as
soon as you can, please.
- Just take a seat Mr.
jaker, he won't be long.
- Robbie, I'm sorry, okay?
Please pick the phone up,
I know you're there.
We gotta talk about this,
Robbie, please pick up the phone.
(Phone beeps)
- [Tom] Everything all right?
- Yeah, sorry I'm coming, I
just forgot to set the machine.
- Okay, come on.
- Chocolates, flowers, perfume, books.
- Yeah, I dunno what books
or perfume she likes
or whether she's allergic to chocolate.
- Shay, I gotta go out.
If Robbie calls can you let me know?
- Sure.
- Jimbo, can you just
keep an eye on the place
'till Lauren gets back?
Mr. jaker.
- No worries.
- What's the matter with him?
- It makes perfect sense to me,
I'm next in terms of seniority, hmm?
- Jimbo, I didn't mean that,
I meant there's something
up with Chris.
- It's probably him and Lauren again.
- Alex, this is terrible,
I should know what to
get my own mother.
- Why, you've never met her
before, how could you know?
- Yeah but your mothers
someone you should know
what to get instinctively
because she's your own mother,
you know what I mean?
- Aw, that's ridiculous,
you've never met the woman,
how're you supposed to
know what she likes?
- Big sky base this is
tango whisky Sierra.
- [Jimbo] Big sky, Lauren,
how's it hangin'?
- Can you tell Chris I'll be
stuck out here for awhile,
he'll have to hold the fort.
- No can do, Chris had to
do an unscheduled flight,
I'm not sure when he'll be back.
- Somebody needs to be in charge
in case anything comes up.
- Lauren, you're talkin' to him.
- (Chuckles) Jimbo, I'm serious.
- And so am I, Chris
has already asked me
to keep an eye on things.
- He did?
- Lauren, it might surprise you to know
that the mantle of responsibility sits
rather easily on these shoulders.
- Yeah, well try and avert any disaster
until one of us gets back.
- The place is in safe hands,
tango whisky, big sky.
(Suspenseful music)
- I'm looking for my
wife, Patricia jaker.
- Yeah, she was meant to
be on my flight before,
back to Sydney.
- Ah yeah, she said that
you'd probably come.
- Oh, thank god, where is she?
- She left this for you.
(Solemn music)
- Look, I have to go
to irwin right now.
- What's going on?
- Listen, my wife's ill,
I can't waste time,
I have to go there right now.
- I'm due at a very important meeting,
it started half an hour ago.
- Well I was stuck in a
holding pad and you see,
there's not a lot I can do about that.
- Yeah look, we're sorry sir,
this sort of thing happens
when there's a lot of traffic.
- I wanna talk to whoever's in charge
of this tin pot outfit.
- Good morning sir, jimbo James.
- Are you the manager?
- I'm acting on her behalf
and on behalf of Ms. Allen
and all of us here at big sky,
I'd like to apologize
for any inconvenience
you've been caused.
- [Man] That hardly...
- And to compensate you for our failure
to provide the efficient service
we so proud ourselves on
here at big sky, I'd like
to offer you a 50% discount
on this flight and an
upgrade to executive class
next time you fly with us.
- Oh, well...
- And, my personal assurance
that this will never happen again.
- [Man] Thank you.
- No sir, thank you.
- [Shay] Executive class?
- Hey, he was happy wasn't he?
- Lauren won't be.
- Well she was happy enough
to leave me in charge.
- Why wasn't I left in charge?
- Scotty, please.
- What?
I coulda handled that guy!
(Crowd cheering)
- It'd help if I knew
what he looked like.
I give up, this is a waste of a trip.
- Maybe not, feel like a flutter?
- [Lauren] (Chuckles) No, no, no,
my gambling days are behind me.
- I haven't got much money
and we're here anyway.
Forgive me Pauline,
that's my name, Pauline!
And that one, derby express.
- What're you doing?
They're both long shots.
- Aw, think of the quinella,
think how much we'd win.
- Okay, that's all I'm spending.
- Okay.
(Crowd cheering)
- Oh my god, Pauline's at the front!
- Aw, look at derby express,
he's coming out of nowhere!
- Go Pauline!
- Come on, go!
Go Pauline!
(Crowd cheering)
Oh my god!
We won!
Come on!
This is so unreal, I can't believe it!
- No, sorry, I didn't
give you this ticket.
- What're you talking about?
It's got your signature on it.
- Must be a forgery.
- Don't be ridiculous, I
saw you give it to her.
- I've been standin'
with Bob the whole time,
I haven't seen either of ya.
- This is your writing, you
recorded the bit in the book.
- No, I can't see anything there.
- Yeah, well give me a look.
- Hey, get your hands off it!
- Come on, we won the
quinella, we want our money.
- I'm tellin' ya, you
haven't won anything.
- I made this for my mum when
I was about six years old.
But my dad brought this proper one
so I was too embarrassed
to give it to her.
- And you kept it all these years?
- Yeah, dunno why, I guess,
I just wanted you to have something
that was really from me,
you know what I mean?
- It's beautiful, Shay.
It's the best present I've ever had.
- Yeah?
Happy Birthday.
- Thanks.
(Suspenseful music)
- I thought she was getting better,
she'd been in a hell farm, you know,
I thought everything was
gonna be all right.
You married?
- Separated.
- Well, I could never leave
Patty, no matter what.
- Well, you know, stuff
happens, you make mistakes.
- (Sniggers) Mistakes?
You leave your wife just
because of a mistake?
Can't of been much of a marriage.
- Listen, don't get
judgemental on my marriage,
it's not the right time.
- Did she leave you?
- We left each other.
- No worries, it's
just a justification,
I mean, who's fault
was it, was it yours?
- If you don't mind, I don't
wanna talk about my marriage,
it's a bit raw at the moment.
- [Mr. jaker] It was your fault.
- No it wasn't.
- Well it was her fault
then, you blame her.
- It wasn't her fault
and it wasn't my fault,
it just happened, end.
(Solemn music)
- She's left me.
Patty left me.
Well that can't happen.
- It's not my writing.
- It's the same as the other entries.
- I don't remember writing it.
- Aw, yeah right, just
like your signature.
How about I contact the police
or maybe we should get on
to the racing authorities.
- Give 'em the money, Bob.
- Thank goodness, finally
someone is seeing sense.
- Everybody in this town works hard
for their money, lady, $9,832.
- Thank you.
- Jimbo?
- Hmm?
- What's going on?
- Well, if I'm in charge,
this is where I belong.
- But you've changed all
the furniture around?
- Shay, the feng shui in
this office was a shocker.
The most powerful position
is facing the door,
so you're dominant.
And the filing cabinet had to
be much closer to the desk,
so I can just reach over
and get what I want
without having to get up.
- That seems like a good idea.
- The key to good management
is having information
at your fingertips.
- Maybe we should keep
it this way then.
- Yeah, well I like to think
I can make a contribution
while I have the chance.
- Do you think you can
look at these letters
and see if I've worded them correctly?
- Sure, anything for you.
- Do you want a coffee?
- Yeah, I'd love one.
Oh and, Shay?
- Yeah?
- If I could have some
of those biscuits
with the little almond
sprinkles, that'd be good.
- I'll check, I'll look.
- Oh dear.
- No sign of him, I'm starting
to think Trevor stanner
doesn't even exist.
- Are you sure you don't wanna
go and look for him in town?
- After the reception
we got at the races
I just wanna get out of here.
(Engine splutters)
- [Woman] What's wrong with this?
- [Lauren] You must of seen if somebody
was hanging around the plane.
- [Man] No, no, nobody's been around.
- Our Magneto's been stolen,
what're you gonna do about it?
- [Man] You can call the coppers?
- Forget it, just give us another one
and we'll get out of here.
- Magneto's, I don't know
if I've got any in stock.
You're out of luck, ladies.
- Terrific.
- Hang on, hang on, it's your
lucky day, I got one left.
- [Lauren] Aw great, how much?
- $9,832.
(Suspenseful music)
- She's staying at her
sisters, naturally.
If I can just talk to her,
I can talk to her, get
all this sorted out.
I would have done anything
for her, you know?
Anything.
She blames me for everything
that happened, I know that.
You're copping some
blame too, aren't ya?
- Yep.
- Got any kids?
- Two.
- How old?
- Nine and five.
- Well, Jamie would of
been three next birthday.
She's leaving me because
of Jamie, I know that.
Wasn't my fault.
It wasn't my fault.
- You'll have to find someone else,
I can't desert my
responsibilities here.
- Okay, well you have to
have a look at the schedule
and see who else can take Mr.
Perry then, okay?
Mr. Perry?
Look, I'm sorry, somethings come up,
jimbo's unable to take you.
Help yourself to a coffee
and I'll find another
pilot for you, okay?
- Shay?
I don't feel that it's
entirely appropriate
that you refer to me by my first
name in front of clients.
- Well Lauren never wants
me to call her Ms. Allen.
- Shay, I don't think that a casual,
overly familiar workplace
is the corporate image
we should be cultivating at this time.
Hey, I'm still good old jimbo
after work at the pub,
but when we're in the office,
let's be a little bit
more professional.
- [Lauren] This is extortion.
- [Woman] What is wrong
with you people?
We won that money fair and square.
- I told you how much
the Magneto costs,
you don't wanna pay,
none of my business.
- A Magneto costs nothing like that.
I'm going to the police.
- [Man] Jonny.
- Oh, here's a local cop, great.
- You still still here?
- Well thanks to whoever
stole our Magneto.
And now we're being told
that the price of a new one
is exactly what we won at the track.
- Look, I don't know nothin'
about prices of planes,
you have to take that up
with consumer affairs.
- You're a cop, aren't you?
Our planes been
sabotaged, do something.
- Sure, we'll go down the station,
I'll fill out a report,
make some enquiries
and you'll have to stay
in town while I'm at it.
- Well, how long do you
think that will take?
- A week, maybe two.
- What's going on?
- Some people round
here aren't too happy
about a couple strangers
cleaning them up
at their own races.
- Charlie won't be out
for at least four hours.
- Fantastic, stranded in
a town that hates us.
What're we gonna do about the money?
I don't wanna get jumped by a local.
- There's a lovely thought.
- No, we do karate.
- [Robbie] Bye.
- [Chris] Come on, Robbie,
if you're there please
pick the phone up.
- Chris, will you stop harassing me?
- I'm not, you wanted
to talk about Tom,
let's talk about Tom.
- What's the point?
You don't sound any calmer
than you were last night.
- Look, I'm sorry about that,
I'm calm now, I'm perfectly calm.
- Look, I know this is hard for you,
it's hard for both of us.
- Excuse me, how is it hard for you?
You've got somebody, you've
the kids, what have I got?
- [Robbie] Why is this
always about you?
Chris, we both knew this
might happen some day.
- Oh yeah, and the other
one just has to wear it.
- This is my life.
God, this is hopeless.
- Hello, Chris.
- Who's that?
Is that you, Tom?
Put Robbie back on.
- I don't think you should
call her for a while,
not 'till you've calmed down, okay?
You're just upsetting her.
- Listen pal, I don't know what...
(Phone disconnects)
Hello?
Tom?
- Listen, we're happy to help you out
but we're not doing all
your flights for you.
- Yeah, we're running
round like mad idiots,
you're gonna have to do
at least some of them.
- [Shay] Well he can't, he's too busy.
- I only wish I could.
I'm a pilot like the rest of you,
but I've been chosen to bare
the burden of management.
And so I don't betray the trust
and faith you've placed in me,
I have to stay, sadly, on the ground.
- Come one, you just can't
let him provoke you.
(Phone ringing)
Leave it, it'll just be him again.
- Look, hanging up on him
isn't going to sort out anything, okay?
Hello?
- Come on, Robbie, what is this?
You're getting your boyfriend
to deal with me now?
- No, I didn't, Tom's
just worried that's all.
- [Chris] Well he's got nothing
to worry about from me,
for god's sake.
- Chris, I know, I'm
sorry but we can't talk
about any of this if you
keep losing your cool.
- Robbie, I'm not losing my cool.
- [Robbie] You are, listen to yourself.
- Robbie, all I wanted
to say is that the kids
and you are the most important
people in the world to me,
are you listening to that?
- Well, you're getting
screwed, aren't you?
- Yes I am.
- Don't let her push you around.
- What choice have I got?
- Well you've got plenty of choice,
you get rid of the
boyfriend for a start.
Yeah, Patty's the same,
she doesn't realize what she's doing,
I've gotta teach her a lesson.
- [Chris] Just shut up, will you?
(Suspenseful music)
- [Woman] Look who our
friendly publican is.
- Excuse me, we'd like
to get something to eat,
can we see a menu please?
I said we'd like to
get something to eat.
- He's not deaf,
he just doesn't serve
bloodsuckers like you.
- So how come you're here?
- Hey, watch what you're saying.
You got a nerve showing your face here!
- I told ya I was sorry,
Bob, I couldn't help it.
- Don't serve him, shirl.
- Listen, look, I have
to get to rathdown,
if she's not at her sisters place,
that's where she'll be.
- [Chris] Sorry mate, the trips over.
- She'll be at the guest
house, I know that.
- What're you gonna do
when you get there?
- Oh look, come on, it's
quarter of an hour by plane,
if I can get there, I can stop her.
- Stop her doing what?
Look, I'll take you back to the city,
you can go home, calm down, relax.
- I have to get my wife back.
- Maybe the reason you
can't find your wife
is because she doesn't wanna be found,
ever think of that?
- Just mind your own business
and get in the plane!
- I'm sorry for whatever's gone on
between you and your wife,
must of been a nightmare.
But I'm not taking you
anywhere near her,
I'll see ya later.
(Intense music)
- Excuse me?
Sorry about this ladies,
it's all my fault.
- What is?
- You winning the race,
you weren't meant to.
- [Woman] Obviously.
- Of course, I wasn't meant to either.
I rode the winner, it
was meant to be a fix
but I messed it up.
You see, Jonny and rob and
Phil and a couple of blokes
on the local shy,
they just needed 10 grand to buy
some equipment for the hospital,
so they figured the fix'd be
the easiest way to get it.
Only, I never won a race
in my life, you know?
20 years of donkeys and
suddenly I could see
the winning post coming straight at me
and I knew I could do it.
I just wanted everyone
to know that Danny Craig
could ride a winner after all.
- Nice try.
Everything else fails
so spin a sob story
and make us hand the money back, right?
- I'll go and get Phil
if you don't believe me.
Just wait in the pub, please?
Please?
- [Jimbo] I've gotta do
something to manage the stress.
- Jimbo, you can have your
go when I'm finished.
- When your...
Shouldn't you be on a run?
- This is the first chance
I've had to relax all day,
thanks to you.
- Know what you've just done, Lexi?
You've crossed the line
and I won't forget that.
Did you get my lunch?
- Well, I couldn't get
Peking duck takeaways,
chicken cashew all right?
- I guess it'll have to.
- See?
- What d'ya want me to do?
- Do anything, just stop the
guy, he thinks he's god.
- So?
All pilots think they're god.
- Roley, we really need help.
- Look guys, I don't buy
into pilot business,
I'm an engineer.
Just as long as he stays away from me.
- Thank you.
- So, Danny's let the cat
out of the bag, has he?
Can't trust him to do anything right.
- [Lauren] It is true?
- Lots of kids around here got asthma,
we need a pediatric ventilator
but the government won't
give us anything.
The little towns like ours,
we're always overlooked when
the money's handed out.
- So have a few fund raisers,
couple of cake stalls.
- You think we haven't tried?
Never eaten so many
lamington's in my life.
The people around here
are the stingiest
lot you've ever met.
I mean, they're happy to
throw it away on horses,
but donate to a worth cause?
Forget it.
And that's how we came up
with this race fixing idea.
It was perfect, except
for bloody Danny Craig.
- Why didn't you tell
us all this before?
- It's not exactly legal.
- Well I'm very sorry that
it didn't work out for you.
- It's not your fault,
looks like it's back
to the cake stalls.
- I don't believe it.
- Neither do I.
- [Man] Who do you think you are?
- Jimbo, forget the stupid titles,
we are all the same here,
we are all just pilots.
- Of course, it's just that some pilots
are a little more
important than others.
- Yeah, the chief pilot
pal and he's not here.
- I am the representative of
the chief pilot in his absence
ergo, I am chief pilot.
- Yeah, well that doesn't
give you the right
to take over the pinball
machine, buddy.
- It is only fair, it is
a reward for the stress
and demands of being in authority.
- You're not in authority!
- I have a mandate directly from above
and in that capacity,
I've seen sit to make a
few changes around here,
if you don't feel
comfortable with that,
you are more than welcome to leave.
- What?
- And you better start towing the line
and remembering who's
in charge around here
or they'll be trouble.
Do I make myself clear?
- That's it, he's completely flipped.
- Let's assassinate him.
- Oh, that's a bit extreme, isn't it?
- Military coo, an armed uprising.
- Can you have an armed uprising
with half a dozen pilots?
And what're we gonna
arm ourselves with?
- [Shay] Chris and Lauren
will know what to do.
- Well I tried that, I can't
contact either of them.
- Can't we just ignore him?
I mean he doesn't have any power
if we don't pay him attention, right?
- Passive resistance.
Well it worked for Gandhi
and Martin Luther King...
Oh and they were both...
- Assassinated.
- Don't move, the ambulance
will be here in a minute.
What happened?
We just found ya lying here?
- How long ago?
- About 10 minutes, we called
the ambulance straight away.
- Did you see a bloke leave
here in a cab or a hire car?
- A dark haired guy hired a
car about 20 minutes ago.
- I gotta get back there.
- You better not, you're in
no condition to even move.
(Chris groans)
- Big sky, this is Charlie tango delta.
- This is big sky, go
ahead Charlie tango.
- Shay, you gotta get on
to the police at rathdown,
there's a guy, his names Warwick jager,
he's trying to find his wife,
she's staying at a guest
house down there.
He's violent, I don't know
what he'll do if he finds her.
I'm on my way down there now.
- Okay, be careful.
(Suspenseful music)
- Patty!
Patty?
- If they needed the
money that desperately,
they should of come up
with a better scheme.
I don't think we're under any
obligation to give it back.
- What if a child dies because
it hasn't got a ventilator?
- Wouldn't be our fault.
- Well it would, sort of.
- Four and a half grand,
I've never had that
much money in my life.
- It's time.
- Shay!
Shay!
Hello, jimbo James,
general manager, big sky?
What?
Wait, that delivery, it
should be on it's way.
Look, I'll contact the pilot
and find out what's going on, okay?
If I can just put you on hold.
Yeah, no, I'll just put you on...
Scotty!
Scotty, what's going on?
You're supposed to be in
mildura with that insecticide
and where's Lexi?
There's people in cooma waiting
for her to pick them up.
- Jimbo, they're your job,
we're not doin' them.
- My job...
Look I am in charge here, if I'm...
- As far as we're concerned
you're not in charge,
we longer recognize
your authority, okay?
From now on, we're gonna be
doing our jobs and that's all.
- Oh, Scotty.
Mate, you know you could go a long way,
you could go right to the top,
by my side, be my eyes and ears.
- Good stuff, I'm not doing
anything more for you.
- That was your last chance, son.
- Here you go, one Magneto.
That's 9,800...
- And $32.
- And on behalf of the hospital,
it's much appreciated.
- Oh look, it's our Magneto.
- They all look the same to me.
- Can I please have a receipt,
if I'm gonna be buying
back my own part,
I wanna claim as much
tax as I possibly can.
(Intense music)
- Do you have a Mrs. Patrica
jaker staying here?
- I'm sorry, we're unable to give
out information about guests.
- Well her husbands looking for her,
he's violent, I wanna warn her.
- Would you like to
speak to the manager?
- No, I don't wanna speak
to the bloody manager,
what room's she in?
- If you just wait one moment.
Mr. markham.
- Patty, is there someone else?
Is that why?
- Is it was in the note,
just leave me alone.
- A note?
Five years wiped away with a note.
(Intense music)
- [Chris] Patricia?
- I don't want to house,
I don't want anything,
it can't bring Jamie back.
- You've never stopped blaming
me for that, have you?
I didn't see the other
car, it wasn't my fault.
I'm here now Patty, talk to me.
Please?
Talk to me.
(Intense music)
- Excuse me, can I help you?
- Come on, Patty, you
don't wanna do this.
- I have to.
- And what am I gonna do?
I mean, I don't have you
and I don't have Jamie.
What am I gonna do?
- I can't be responsible
for you anymore.
- Okay.
(Patricia screams)
- [Patricia] What are you doing?
Leave me alone!
- Come on!
(Patricia struggling)
- [Warwick] Come on!
- No!
- Patty.
- Warwick!
Warwick, what are you doing?
Warwick!
- You did this to me, Patty.
- [Chris] Warwick!
- [Patricia] (Screams) No!
(Solemn music)
- You can't sack us.
- Yeah, we don't recognize
your authority, remember?
- My authority comes from above.
My authority comes directly
from the president.
- The president?
I don't recall us having a president?
- Looks like one just voted himself in.
- I declare you all,
forthwith, to be none pilots.
- What's that supposed to mean?
- That means you are to
vacate the base immediately.
- [Scotty] Or what?
- Voluntary repatriation is preferable
to enforced pilot cleansing,
don't force my hand, Gibbs.
- What's going on here?
- I was just doin' my job, roley.
Whatever I did, I did for
the good of the company,
for the pilots, never for me.
- Not what I heard.
So how come they gotcha doing this?
- I know, it's a long way to fall.
But on the way down I found something,
something I'd lost, something valuable,
(sighs) My humility.
- What?
- I know, I realized you
can't be a leader of men
if you forget that you
are but one of them.
- Lauren, tell me the
decimals in the wrong place?
- Nope.
- You paid nearly
$10,000 for a Magneto?
- Worth every cent.
- What's it made of, solid gold?
- You could say that.
- Hi.
I just wanted to say sorry
for giving you a hard time about Tom.
If he really makes you happy.
- I think he will.
- Then you've got my blessing.
Of course, he's still a dickhead.
Seriously though, I hope you
have better luck than we did.
As long as I can still see the kids.
- Of course.
I'm sorry about the way I handled it.
I guess I thought if I
made it out to be easy
then somehow it would be.
- No, I think you were right,
I've never really accepted
that we were finished.
But, I don't think I'll
ever get over you.
- How can you say that?
I'm thinking of marrying someone else
and you say something like that.
- So shoot me, it's true.
- You still feel that way about me?
- You know I do.
