- I'm gonna kill him, my love.
- No you're not, because
I'm gonna kill him.
- Shit, you're both mad!
- I'm killing him.
- You lift that gun one inch!
- Toby run, Toby, Toby!
Toby, Toby!
- You're standing here
right now because taz
is tripping out about something.
I gotta deal with that.
That's what being a parent is about.
You think I wanna still be doing this
when I'm 70 bloody two?
- So from now on, I'm
the young second wife.
Trophy wife.
That's what I am?
That's all I ever was.
- I for one would welcome
the economic benefits
and I wouldn't mind a
decent golf course either.
- Oh Jesus, Beck, you're like
a kid in a toy shop, mate.
It's all much.
- It may be since one
things these guys want
and that is to make money.
- Aris?
- You leave her alone.
- That's a bit life of that, mate.
Oh don't worry, she still loves you.
She's gonna be wobbling
if you go beside a bit.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Oh, good come back, mate.
- If your stuffs not out,
I'm throwing it out.
Get it?
- Hank, lay off.
All right, we'll talk tomorrow.
There's plenty of room.
- God it's just like Romeo and Juliet
with you two, isn't it?
Hey, the books in the shops.
- When did you start reading?
Don't listen to him.
- Oh you'd have to be deaf not to hear.
- Now what's this?
- Nothing.
Something dying for?
- Or what?
Don't you wanna live here forever?
- Oh yeah, of course, that's my dream.
Grow old in this room.
Baby can have his own
little tent out the back.
- And sharpie can teach
her how to make knives
out of mower blades.
Now who wouldn't want that?
- Yeah, but not all
dreams come true, fif.
We may just have to settle for
saving money and getting
a place of our own.
- Can't sleep again?
- No.
- That's not like you.
You'll sleep for anything.
- Well it's just a thing.
The kids, you.
- What's wrong with me?
- No, nothing.
I still worry about you and this place
and uncle Jeb.
Having enough rain.
The fires will be here
and have to raise the
bug all experience.
The other half bickering.
Town's dying.
I fight for change and aris fights me.
And 90 percent of the kids,
they're starting to hate me.
- No.
It's in your nature
to feel responsible.
- Oh somebody had a good night's sleep.
- Oh yeah, quite a
pleasant wake up call too.
- Is that the best you can do?
Pleasant?
- Well...
Oh!
Oh that hurt.
- Not nearly enough.
- Tea or coffee?
- Tea, thank you.
- Tea.
Earl gray or English breakfast?
- Oh English breakfast, thanks.
- English breakfast.
Tea bags were invented by Americans,
which is kind of ironic when you think
about the Boston tea party.
Of the green and black teas,
of which English breakfast is one,
are capable of increasing the body's
antioxidant activities
by up to 45 percent.
Amazing what you can
learn from the pages
of ancient magazines in a waiting room.
- You actually crossed out nursery
and changed it to study.
You know, I just realized
all I've thought about is having kids
since I've got up here.
Now, now I know.
- Well.
- No, I've been obsessing about this.
I'm going completely
mad with this, Perry.
- Hey, I can help with that.
With taz, the thing is...
- oh god, Perry, I've heard about it!
It's all I hear about.
That's all I get all the time.
But up until a few weeks ago
I thought I was a bigger
part of your life, you know?
- You are.
You are but not another child.
- It's not another child for me!
- We need a break from all this.
- What do you mean we need a break?
- I mean, I don't mean from you.
I mean you and me together.
We need a break.
Like just for tonight, okay?
Like you and me, wipe the slate clean.
No past lives, no more
talk about babies,
just you and me.
Having a beautiful dinner,
right here, the most
beautiful view in the world.
- It can't be all just brushed over
in one night.
- Just go with it, see
where it takes us, okay?
- Yeah, what's with the uniform?
- Bryce called after you left.
- Yeah?
- Wanted to know if I
could come in today.
I got the job!
- Oh my god!
- Yow, my uniform!
- Come on, come on.
I've gotta do something.
- Better get used to this.
My belly's gonna be out so far.
This is as close as we'll get.
- I cannot wait.
- Yes, speak for yourself.
- Hey listen,
I'm gonna sell my car
to a mate at kevie's.
He's gonna give me 10 grand for it.
- That's great.
- I know, I know and check this out.
150 acres north of tudor.
It's good grazing property
and it's only $280,000.
Now with your wage and
the money from the car
we could like get a deposit in a year.
- I doubt it will still
be there in a year.
- Nah, that's not something like it,
I paying for.
- I still gotta keep my job.
I'm on trial, you know.
- Oh you'll be fine, know it.
- Well, problems for sharpie?
You guys are becoming best mates.
- Really starting to get friendlier.

- Here you go, sharpie.
- More prawns?
- Yeah, that's my rent.
- Claws placed like this, you
should be bringing lobster.
- Maybe next time.
- Well nothing for little old me?
- That's all you're good for.
- Perry luscomb.
- Perry, it's jeanine.
- Jeanine, I can't talk now.
Look, I'll have to call you back.
- Wait Perry, take a moment.
Our daughter's just run away.
I can't believe you sometimes.
Anyway I'm on my way up there.
Are you at work?
- Almost.
What makes you think she's
on her way up here?
- Because I
refuse to let her see that
crew law you introduced her to.
And now she wants to run away with him.
- I didn't introduce them.
Look, he can't run
away, he's on parole.
- That's so bloody comforting.
She'll be okay because he's on parole.
- I'll call his mother and
see if they're there.
There's no need for you
to come up, jeanine.
I can handle this.
- Look I'm only 20 minutes away.
You haven't handled it so far.
- All right.
Might as well get
straight to lost river.
I'll meet you at the shed
in about 40 minutes.
- All right.
- Well, why
hasn't somebody shifted?
- Hank, turn it off.
- Turn it down, Hank!
- I'm listening to it.
You got a bloody mind that?
Well so what, I'm to
bend over backwards
because of him.
- Hank!
- Most of the programs are
standard for fire zone
which you'll have to get used to.
We use it for instant reports,
resource management,
keeping track of things.
So log on, I'll be back in a second.
We'll go through it.
- No worries.
- Fifi, what have you done?
- I don't know.
I logged on and then I...
- You logged on?
- Yeah, and it um...
- I'm only kidding.
The network's gone down again.
It happens occasionally.
- Don't do that to me.
You gave me a heart attack.

Don't argue all up to me Dan.
Get a supply line down to the cap one.
- We think there's someone inside.
He's gone in to see.
- Who's gone in to see?
- Josh, my boyfriend,
has gone back inside.
And the dog's in there.
- So you're boyfriend's
gone in to find a dog?
- And we can't find Matt.
- Who's Matt?
- One of the guys that's
been staying here.
- Back out.
- Get the oxygen blower
out of the truck.
Come here mate, it's all right.
Come here.
You all right.
What'd you say his name was, Josh?
Just breathe normally.
- Just breathe normally,
you're all right there.
That's it.
Get it out of his mouth.
- All right, okay you said
someone else was in there?
- Yeah Matt, he was here last night
then he had to go to a party
so he might have gone.
- Okay lil,
just let everyone know,
til we find Matt we
cannot touch the fire.
Crews should be round in a bit.
The elbows are chicken legs?
You all right, Charlie?
- Yeah.
Aris?
- Yep.
All right guys, we got
a missing person.
There's a dog as well but
that's probably ran off.
From what I can remember this place
the office, they're on the
right hand side, yeah.
That's where these guys
have been shacked up.
- Right.
- The door's jammed.
Have to go under.
You okay?
- Yeah.
- Careful mate.
Jesus Christ.
Thought this place was
supposed to be clear.
- Yeah and there's more.
Looks like those pallets
are everywhere.
There's a room to the right there.
- I'll go check it.
- Righty-o.
Don't go too far mate.
You all right?
- Clear.
No one in here.
Your rear, mate.
Watch your back, Joe.
- Backa, haven't found Matt yet.
Someone's storing stuff in here.
This flat's got pallets everywhere.
- Okay, I'll see what I can find out.
- We'll keep searching.
- Lil, I need you to do something.
- Do you want me to finish...
- no, no, leave that.
Joey and aris, they found
a whole lot of stuff
sitting on pallets inside.
See if you can find out
exactly what that is
from the squatters, yeah?
- All right, all right.
- Okay.
- Good day, how you doing?
- You can't do this to me, jeanine.
I need fair warning.
I can't just walk out on clients.
I've got a responsibility.
- It's not the first time
you've walked out on something.
And what about your
responsibility to your daughter?
- Well I was trying to deal with both.
- And let we find you lacking.
- You called me 10 minutes away.
It's a three hour drive.
If you'd call me before you left,
I could have saved you the trip.
- No, so far I've left it up to you
and you've made a mess of it.
- Look, okay, it's my mess.
Let me fix it.
- I'm here because you
haven't fixed it.
You've made it worse.
- Taz didn't leave home
because of me, you know.
- And I just found out
this guy was a criminal.
You should have told me.
- If I'd know they were
that involved, I would've.
Look, I've spoken to his mother.
They haven't got back home yet.
Taz is not answering her phone.
- Don't you think I
would have tried that?
So what do we do?
- We just have to wait.
- So, this is the dream?
- Yeah.
- Fox cove district
five control center.
Fifi speaking.
- Yes fox cove,
we have a triple a call
for a grass fire in atwood.
- Okay, just a sec.
Okay, grass fire whereabouts?
- It's on the Cullen property.
Access from west Dell road
after the Greenville turnoff.
- Okay, thanks very much.
- Thank you.
- Fire com,
glenville resounding to pager.
- Glenville, there's been
a report of a grass fire
at atwood on the Cullen property,
access from west Dell road.
Can you respond?
- Fire com, glenville one
responding with a crew of six.
Osc John Hodges.
- Copy that.
- Glenville out?
- Yeah, there's grass fire
at the Cullen property.
And atwaod are out,
so I sent glenville.
- Right.
- And I'm gonna get ingram to stand by.
- Good work, I'm heading
out to the factory fire.
I'll be on the radio.
- Right-o.
- There's lots of things in there,
but she did say that there's
a whole lot of paint
stored up the back.
We've bought cans of turf...
- Okay guys, we really
need to hear this.
- She's right mate.
You got all sorts of
shit in there backa.
You've got pallets of furniture,
boxes, all sorts.
- It's like this from
our point of view.
You got stacked pallets.
All the way up to the back.
And the right inside
you've got all the rooms.
Part of the office and there's
a toilet out the back.
And we've checked and the
pallets are about here.
- There's something slow
burning up the back.
Jesus, who owns all this stuff?
- Where's the paint?
- We didn't see any.
- Well they said that it's up here.
Want some of this oxy mate?
It's good stuff.
- No, I'm trying to kick it.
- Right-o you two.
Okay you guys, you do another search
around the rest of the
pallets, all right?
Our guys, you check the rooms.
The fox cove guys, you
back them up, yeah?
All right, start to work.
- Backa, what about the fire mate?
If that turf goes up
we're in a real way.
- Yeah I know mate.
But approach, rescue,
suppression, overhaul.
You know the drill.
Until we find this guy,
we can't touch the fire.
- If he's in there, he's...
- He's what?
Huh?
Jesus Christ, aris,
this is not helping me.
If you guys get a chance,
if you've got time,
get in between the fire
and the turfs, yeah?
Lil, thanks for that.
It was important.
- Still not back yet?
- Oh they should be.
Maybe they're not going there.
- Well if they don't they should be
halfway to queensland by now.
- You don't sound very concerned.
- Oh course...
- It is your daughter,
for Christ sake.
- I'm concerned,
but she's turned 17.
You can't just order her back.
You gotta, listen, advise.
- He's a criminal, Perry.
- He's a kid who's made a few mistakes.
He's a victim of circumstance.
- And so you're perfectly
happy for taz to be with him.
- I'm not perfectly happy about it.
Jeanine, it's a teenage crush.
I think she'll stop herself
before she does anything too stupid.
- Oh.
- Rebecca said he didn't
take anything with him.
So...
- Yeah, you're right.
Taz said it was beautiful here.
Reminds her of the place
we used to go camping.
- You know we gave you
an open invitation
to come here.
- Like that was gonna happen.
- Why not?
- Hanging out with your trophy wife
isn't high on my priority list.
- Jesus, jeanine, I thought
we were beyond that.
- Why, 'cause it makes you feel better
if you think we are?
No it shouldn't be this hard.
You're not there.
I have to work.
I can't pander to her all the time.
And now I'm at a loss
and you think I should be okay
because I'm supposed to be beyond it?
- Yeah, I'll
see what I can find out.
- What are you doing lying around?
The place is burning up.
Am I talking a bit fast for you?
No one's doing a bloody thing.
Put the fire out!
- You haven't told him Brian?
- I wanna know why
everyone's standing around
watching the thing burn instead
of doing something about it.
- Everyone is doing their job, mate.
But it'd be better if
you stood back a bit.
- No, no don't tell me
where I have to stand.
That's my livelihood there
and you're doing nothing about it.
- Everyone is doing
what they have to do.
You come with me.
- Just sitting on their asses!
Put the fire out!
- Matey, calm down.
- Don't Matey me.
My life in there.
Why don't you tell them to put it out?
- Why don't you come and tell us
why you've got goods stored inside.
- None of your business.
- Well if it's a fire
hazard it is my business.
- They are the bloody fire hazard.
I've got permission.
- You come with me, I'd
like to hear about that.
- Isn't there somewhere
we can go and look?
- I'll give it another half
hour and I'll call Mike.
I doubt there's anything
he could do, though.
- Who's Mike?
- Policeman.
- God, you're on a first
name basis with the law?
You're telling me that this place
has a whole police officer?
- That's right,
he's got his own car
with a siren and everything.
- So, this is what she does?
- Yep, she's just finished
a children's book.
It's a beauty.
- The four door
is looking good too.
- What's the money like?
- Oh not much yet, but you know.
- Hello?
- It's Rebecca, they're back.
You can come get her.
- Thanks Rebecca.
- Taz?
- Just stay away from me.
- What's going on?
- You knew what's going on.
Why did you do that?
- Do what, taz?
- She's right, you're on her Perry.
Yeah, you wanted me away from her.
Well this is what you get.
- Taz, what's happened here?
- Leave her alone you said to me.
- Taz, come on.
- Just stay away from me.
- You've gotta go with
your folks, darling.
- I don't wanna go anywhere with them.
- Honey, where
else you gonna go?
- You gonna hit me again?
- You're taking all this
pretty easily, aren't you?
For somebody who cares
so much about taz.
- I'm in control is all.
- No,
not good to hold it all in Hank.
Pretty soon you're gonna explode.
But that's not what
you're doing, is it?
You're not holding anything in.
Is there anything in there for anyone?
- Why don't you piss off
back to your daddy.
Huh, I don't want you hanging
around, you understand?
Ah, and I want a new counselor.
- Fine.
Taz, come on.
- We did these three rooms here.
No one there.
We got to the end room.
The door's shut and there's
a fair bit of heat around.
We didn't have time to search it.
- Okay, there's stuff
cluttered up here.
There's crap everywhere.
It's much worse there.
You can hardly see anything at all.
- Yeah, we got nothing either.
We found some dead end wire
up here in the corner.
It's smaller way making smoke worse.
This stuff's impossible to put out.
- Okay, aris, you and Joey please
check the last room.
If you got heat a third
of the way down the door
you don't go in.
- Well we can go halfway down.
I thought you wanted to find there.
- Yeah I do but I don't
wanna flash over
and you two did, okay?
It's a third of the way down the door.
You don't go in, all right?
When you're done, see if you can help
the atwood guys keep the fire
away from the turfs, yeah?
- Rough day?
Come on bud.
- Watch yourself, mate.
Hey, watch yourself.
Whoa Joe, let's check this out.
You set?
- Yep.
- How far?
- Down to about here, halfway.
- What do you reckon?
- I reckon we'd better be quick.
- All right, go!
Go!
- Clear, throw it in there.
Get out of there.
Above you, Joe!
- Oh Jesus aris!
- Ah copy that Fifi com,
ah I mean fire com.
What's it like in your ivory tower?
- All the better to keep
an eye plebs like you lot.
What's happening, over?
- So far, so good.
No bodies, we've managed
to keep the fire away
from the turfs, over.
- Who's in there, over.
- Ah, Joey and aris.
They've only been in there 10 minutes.
- We're coming out now.
- Hold on a minute, standby Fifi.
Joey, aris you've only

- Aris, Joey you there?
- Just wiped pad
out, got my hands full.
Stand by Fifi.
- Don't stand me by, what's happening?
- Aris, are you okay?
- Joey shouldn't be in there.
He's been working all night, over.
- Lil, Kieran, get ready
to clear those lines
as soon as they come
out of there, yeah?
- Yep.
- Still no answer.
- Okay, guys what's going on in there?
- We gotta go in backa.

Aris, you reading me?
- Backa, we gotta go.
- Yeah okay, go, go go in there.
- What are you doing?

- No, you're not, backa.
- I'm the only one here
with cable training.
- You're the officer in charge.
There's enough people in there already.
- He's my brother.
You're here, you take over.
Joe do you read me?
Aris, are you there, can

Okay, Kieran, lil, get
those wires out of there
as quickly as you can!
Louisa, get in here!
Get these hoses out of here!
Joey!
Okay, down you go.
Take your gear off.
Get your gear off slowly, don't panic.
Just slowly.
That's all right, mate.
There you go mate.
There you go, just
breathe, just breathe.
What happened, Joey?
- The palette fell and
the fire went straight
into the furnace.
Murray's busted his head.
- He should have
just got out of there.
- A pile of furniture
fell on top of me, backa
I wasn't going anywhere.
Aris pulled me out.
The dog, backa, it's aris's.
It's far away.
- And the squatters?
- I checked every room, mate.
It's not there.
- Okay, all right.
Okay, listen up.
Let's get these hoses out of here
as fast as we can.
Get around the other
side of the building.
We're going defensive.
You hear me, we're going defensive!
Everybody now, take lines out.
Fire com, soldiers road control.
You there, Fifi?
- Soldiers road control,
fire com, go ahead backa,
what's happening?
- It's all okay.
They're all out, over.
- Ah copy that.
Don't do that again to me.
- Sorry Fifi, I
didn't have much choice.
- Joey's been working all night.
He shouldn't be in there.
You stand him down, over.
- Copy that, Fifi.
- Fire com clear.
Ah!
- They told me it was your dog.
- You took care of it.
- Yeah.
- Thanks.
- He was like our kid.
He ran away.
- Sorry, I can take care
of him if you like.
- That's over.
- No.
We will.
- Hey, who's that?
- Oh that's Matt.
Apparently he went to fox
cove after the party
with a friend.
I'm really sorry.
- That's all right.
That's all right.
I'm glad he's alive.
- You can say no Joey,
you worked all night.
For Christ sake.
- I suppose I'm a bit of a yes man.
- That's not a joke.
You're gonna kill yourself that way.
Do you want the kid
to be born an orphan?
- Um you need to die too
for it to be an orphan, Fifi.
- I'm serious, Joey.
- All right, well I've never said no
to a fire call.
- No because I've never
worked all night.
- You have worked days
and taken night calls.
- But that is different.
- I can, so many ways.
Like, what?
- Joey you can't be reckless now, okay?
- All right.
- I was on the other end of that radio
when you were in there.
Do you know what that was like?
- Well it was a bit more comfortable
than where I was.
Fif, I'm sorry, all right?
It wasn't too bad, all right?
It sounded worse than what it was.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Okay.
What, what?
- Got a cramp.
- Are you all right?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- You're not going to work tonight.
- I have to, fif.
- He's dead to the world.
He's had no sleep.
- If he doesn't
come, I'll lose the night.
I can't afford that.
- But if he goes out
it will be dangerous.
He'll be a liability.
- Fifi, shh, you want me to have a job?
- Look, Joe's a good worker.
I don't wanna lose him,
but if I don't go out,
I don't pay for the house.
I don't pay for the boat.
He has to go or I get someone else.
- Okay.
You be careful.
Hey kevi.
- It's good to see you could make it.
- Can he get some rest on the way out?
- I need him to set the nets.
- Why, don't you know how?
- Fif.
- I've gotta drive the boat.
- Yeah, but once it's out
it can drive itself.
- Geez, I can see this
happening every time, yeah?
Once.
You get a few hours
while I set the nets.
Is that all right?
- Thank you.
- Yeah, enough of that, but...
- Thanks kev.
Well, all future negotiations
are in your hands.
- And when were they not?
Careful.
Joey.
Something to aim for.
- I'm sorry you're feeling like this.
I know it doesn't help to hear this
but it does go away.
What you need is a dose
of the double d's.
Distraction and diversion.
You distract and divert your attention
and pretty soon you don't
think about it at all.
Could use some help with dinner.
- Well, look the fireman's home.
- Oh jeanine.
So lovely to see you.
What's all this.
- Um, we had a bit of an incident.
I tired to call you but
you'd already left.
- Ah, what happened?
- I'll tell you later.
- No, now Perry.
- Um, it's a long story.
Taz was,
look really it's better
if I tell you later.
- This your idea of a clean slate?
- Look I know, I know I'm sorry.
But we can use this.
This is our chance to make a
case for our independence.
- I think I'm gonna have a shower.
- I'm out of hot water.
Tense it up.
- I don't wanna know.
- It's very beautiful.
- Yes, it is.
- Perry tells me you've just finished
drawing another children's book.
- Oh did he?
- Must be very satisfying.
- Well it's not exactly
a university lecture
but it pays some bills.
- Really?
Perry said it was a bit of a struggle.
- When did he mention that?
In between you bitching about taz
and asking for more money?
- Dinner is served.
- Look delicious - sword fish
and marinated prunes.
It's all in the preparation,
which we can thank lil for.
Thank you darling.
No drinking?
- Aren't you being good.
- Well, drinkings just one
of those things in my life
I no longer need.
- If I lived here, I'd
be drinking every day.
- You said you liked it.
- The view, not the people.
- Well nothing is stopping
you from leaving.
- Well so much for the open invitation.
- You're right actually.
What I meant to say is
nothing is stopping
me from leaving.
I'm staying at the aerofest tonight.
- You don't have to do that.
- Yes I do.
This is your life, Perry.
You deal with it.
- I'll ask her to stay at a hotel.
- You ask her what you like.
I'm still not staying here tonight.
- Lil, come on.
I'll come with you.
- Perry?
- If you think I'm
gloating, you're wrong.
- I know jeanine.
When I think about you and me
I think about how if
we'd never been together
then we'd never have had taz.
So it was worth it just for that.
But now, after all those years of agony
you manage to just keep
it right on going.
Taz can go or stay, whatever she wants.
I want you out of here first
thing in the morning.
- You know, dad, what you need
is a dose of the double d's.
Distract and divert.
Pretty soon, you won't
even think about it.
- Hey lil.
- Lily pilly.
- Lily of the valley.
- Danish Lily.
- Pictures of Lily.
- Tiger Lily.
- Oh how much have you
guys had to drink?
- I love Lily enough if we can think of
that many Lily's.
What do you want, do you want a beer?
- A shower actually.
- Yeah what, did you run out of water?
- Don't ask.
You haven't seen Louise, all right?
- No not too good.
It's pretty tough to
know who's up the road
at what time.
- Can I talk to you for a second?
- Yeah, sure.
- Listen do you mind if
I stay in the bunk room
for the night?
- Of course, that's fine.
- We have a full house at our place.
It's complicated.
- Well you can stay at
our place if you like.
Be a lot more comfortable.
- Ah no I want some
time on my own so...
- Fine, you got a towel?
- Yeah, thanks.
- I'm heading off.
You know where everything is?
- Yeah thanks.
- Just help yourself
to whatever you want
from the fridge.
Night cap.
- So much for not drinking.
- One won't hurt.
- Oh, it's good.
- Um, it's Russian.
You did great today.
You were on top of it the whole time.
Anticipated problems, that was good.
- Thanks backa.
I appreciate it.
It felt like I was part of things.
Like I did something worthwhile.
- Well you did.
- It's so peaceful here.
And quiet.
- Yeah.

Toby, Toby!
- You're standing here

is tripping out about something.
I gotta deal with that.
That's what being a parent is about.
You think I wanna still be doing this
when I'm 70 bloody two?
- So from now on, I'm
the young second wife.
Trophy wife.
That's what I am?
That's all I ever was.
- I for one would welcome
the economic benefits
and I wouldn't mind a
decent golf course either.
- Oh Jesus, Beck, you're like
a kid in a toy shop, mate.
It's all much.
- It may be since one
things these guys want
and that is to make money.
- Aris?
- You leave her alone.
- That's a bit life of that, mate.
Oh don't worry, she still loves you.
She's gonna be wobbling
if you go beside a bit.

- Oh, good come back, mate.
- If your stuffs not out,
I'm throwing it out.
Get it?
- Hank, lay off.
All right, we'll talk tomorrow.
There's plenty of room.
- God it's just like Romeo and Juliet
with you two, isn't it?
Hey, the books in the shops.
- When did you start reading?
Don't listen to him.
- Oh you'd have to be deaf not to hear.
- Now what's this?
- Nothing.
Something dying for?
- Or what?
Don't you wanna live here forever?
- Oh yeah, of course, that's my dream.
Grow old in this room.
Baby can have his own
little tent out the back.
- And sharpie can teach
her how to make knives
out of mower blades.
Now who wouldn't want that?
- Yeah, but not all
dreams come true, fif.
We may just have to settle for
saving money and getting
a place of our own.
- Can't sleep again?
- No.
- That's not like you.
You'll sleep for anything.
- Well it's just a thing.
The kids, you.
- What's wrong with me?
- No, nothing.
I still worry about you and this place
and uncle Jeb.
Having enough rain.
The fires will be here
and have to raise the
bug all experience.
The other half bickering.
Town's dying.
I fight for change and aris fights me.
And 90 percent of the kids,
they're starting to hate me.
- No.
It's in your nature
to feel responsible.
- Oh somebody had a good night's sleep.
- Oh yeah, quite a
pleasant wake up call too.
- Is that the best you can do?
Pleasant?
- Well...
Oh!
Oh that hurt.
- Not nearly enough.
- Tea or coffee?
- Tea, thank you.
- Tea.
Earl gray or English breakfast?
- Oh English breakfast, thanks.
- English breakfast.
Tea bags were invented by Americans,
which is kind of ironic when you think
about the Boston tea party.
Of the green and black teas,
of which English breakfast is one,
are capable of increasing the body's
antioxidant activities
by up to 45 percent.
Amazing what you can
learn from the pages
of ancient magazines in a waiting room.
- You actually crossed out nursery
and changed it to study.
You know, I just realized
all I've thought about is having kids
since I've got up here.
Now, now I know.
- Well.
- No, I've been obsessing about this.
I'm going completely
mad with this, Perry.
- Hey, I can help with that.
With taz, the thing is...
- oh god, Perry, I've heard about it!
It's all I hear about.
That's all I get all the time.
But up until a few weeks ago
I thought I was a bigger
part of your life, you know?
- You are.
You are but not another child.
- It's not another child for me!
- We need a break from all this.
- What do you mean we need a break?
- I mean, I don't mean from you.
I mean you and me together.
We need a break.
Like just for tonight, okay?
Like you and me, wipe the slate clean.
No past lives, no more
talk about babies,
just you and me.
Having a beautiful dinner,
right here, the most
beautiful view in the world.
- It can't be all just brushed over
in one night.
- Just go with it, see
where it takes us, okay?
- Yeah, what's with the uniform?
- Bryce called after you left.
- Yeah?
- Wanted to know if I
could come in today.
I got the job!
- Oh my god!
- Yow, my uniform!
- Come on, come on.
I've gotta do something.
- Better get used to this.
My belly's gonna be out so far.
This is as close as we'll get.
- I cannot wait.
- Yes, speak for yourself.
- Hey listen,
I'm gonna sell my car
to a mate at kevie's.
He's gonna give me 10 grand for it.
- That's great.
- I know, I know and check this out.
150 acres north of tudor.
It's good grazing property
and it's only $280,000.
Now with your wage and
the money from the car
we could like get a deposit in a year.
- I doubt it will still
be there in a year.
- Nah, that's not something like it,
I paying for.
- I still gotta keep my job.
I'm on trial, you know.
- Oh you'll be fine, know it.
- Well, problems for sharpie?
You guys are becoming best mates.
- Really starting to get friendlier.

- Well nothing for little old me?
- That's all you're good for.
- Perry luscomb.
- Perry, it's jeanine.
- Jeanine, I can't talk now.
Look, I'll have to call you back.
- Wait Perry, take a moment.
Our daughter's just run away.
I can't believe you sometimes.
Anyway I'm on my way up there.
Are you at work?
- Almost.
What makes you think she's
on her way up here?
- Because I
refuse to let her see that
crew law you introduced her to.
And now she wants to run away with him.
- I didn't introduce them.
Look, he can't run
away, he's on parole.
- That's so bloody comforting.
She'll be okay because he's on parole.
- I'll call his mother and
see if they're there.
There's no need for you
to come up, jeanine.
I can handle this.
- Look I'm only 20 minutes away.
You haven't handled it so far.
- All right.
Might as well get
straight to lost river.
I'll meet you at the shed
in about 40 minutes.
- All right.
- Well, why
hasn't somebody shifted?
- Hank, turn it off.
- Turn it down, Hank!
- I'm listening to it.
You got a bloody mind that?
Well so what, I'm to
bend over backwards
because of him.
- Hank!
- Most of the programs are
standard for fire zone
which you'll have to get used to.
We use it for instant reports,
resource management,
keeping track of things.
So log on, I'll be back in a second.
We'll go through it.
- No worries.
- Fifi, what have you done?
- I don't know.
I logged on and then I...
- You logged on?
- Yeah, and it um...
- I'm only kidding.
The network's gone down again.
It happens occasionally.
- Don't do that to me.
You gave me a heart attack.
- Fox cove district
fire control center,
Fifi speaking.
- Yes Fifi, we've had
several triple a calls

You're still talking to us?
- Only 'cause I have to.
Ambulance already on their way.
Fire com clear.
- Okay, copy that.
Okay listen up guys.
It's procedural but the squad is there.
We can't fight the fire til
everyone is accounted for.
All right?
- Aris, suit up with Charlie.
- Try please.
- What?
Are we gonna have a problem?
- I just asked.
- Yeah, that's me asking.
- Come on darling.
- Head out.
You do the second caylor
ship with Charlie.
Uh, Kieran?
I need water tech line,
mate, four links.
38 mil and all cast diffuser.
Lil, can you give him a hand, please?
Don't argue all up to me Dan.
Get a supply line down to the cap one.
- We think there's someone inside.
He's gone in to see.
- Who's gone in to see?
- Josh, my boyfriend,
has gone back inside.
And the dog's in there.
- So you're boyfriend's
gone in to find a dog?
- And we can't find Matt.
- Who's Matt?
- One of the guys that's
been staying here.
- Back out.
- Get the oxygen blower
out of the truck.
Come here mate, it's all right.
Come here.
You all right.
What'd you say his name was, Josh?
Just breathe normally.
- Just breathe normally,
you're all right there.
That's it.
Get it out of his mouth.
- All right, okay you said
someone else was in there?
- Yeah Matt, he was here last night
then he had to go to a party
so he might have gone.
- Okay lil,
just let everyone know,
til we find Matt we
cannot touch the fire.
Crews should be round in a bit.
The elbows are chicken legs?
You all right, Charlie?
- Yeah.
Aris?
- Yep.
All right guys, we got
a missing person.
There's a dog as well but
that's probably ran off.
From what I can remember this place
the office, they're on the
right hand side, yeah.
That's where these guys
have been shacked up.
- Right.
- The door's jammed.
Have to go under.
You okay?
- Yeah.
- Careful mate.
Jesus Christ.
Thought this place was
supposed to be clear.
- Yeah and there's more.
Looks like those pallets
are everywhere.
There's a room to the right there.
- I'll go check it.
- Righty-o.
Don't go too far mate.
You all right?
- Clear.
No one in here.
Your rear, mate.
Watch your back, Joe.
- Backa, haven't found Matt yet.
Someone's storing stuff in here.
This flat's got pallets everywhere.
- Okay, I'll see what I can find out.
- We'll keep searching.
- Lil, I need you to do something.
- Do you want me to finish...
- no, no, leave that.
Joey and aris, they found
a whole lot of stuff
sitting on pallets inside.
See if you can find out
exactly what that is
from the squatters, yeah?
- All right, all right.
- Okay.
- Good day, how you doing?
- You can't do this to me, jeanine.
I need fair warning.
I can't just walk out on clients.
I've got a responsibility.
- It's not the first time
you've walked out on something.
And what about your
responsibility to your daughter?
- Well I was trying to deal with both.
- And let we find you lacking.
- You called me 10 minutes away.
It's a three hour drive.
If you'd call me before you left,
I could have saved you the trip.
- No, so far I've left it up to you
and you've made a mess of it.
- Look, okay, it's my mess.
Let me fix it.
- I'm here because you
haven't fixed it.
You've made it worse.
- Taz didn't leave home
because of me, you know.
- And I just found out
this guy was a criminal.
You should have told me.
- If I'd know they were
that involved, I would've.
Look, I've spoken to his mother.
They haven't got back home yet.
Taz is not answering her phone.
- Don't you think I
would have tried that?
So what do we do?
- We just have to wait.
- So, this is the dream?
- Yeah.
- Fox cove district
five control center.
Fifi speaking.
- Yes fox cove,
we have a triple a call
for a grass fire in atwood.
- Okay, just a sec.
Okay, grass fire whereabouts?
- It's on the Cullen property.
Access from west Dell road
after the Greenville turnoff.
- Okay, thanks very much.
- Thank you.
- Fire com,
glenville resounding to pager.
- Glenville, there's been
a report of a grass fire
at atwood on the Cullen property,
access from west Dell road.
Can you respond?
- Fire com, glenville one
responding with a crew of six.
Osc John Hodges.
- Copy that.
- Glenville out?
- Yeah, there's grass fire
at the Cullen property.
And atwaod are out,
so I sent glenville.
- Right.
- And I'm gonna get ingram to stand by.
- Good work, I'm heading
out to the factory fire.
I'll be on the radio.
- Right-o.
- There's lots of things in there,
but she did say that there's
a whole lot of paint
stored up the back.
We've bought cans of turf...
- Okay guys, we really
need to hear this.
- She's right mate.
You got all sorts of
shit in there backa.
You've got pallets of furniture,
boxes, all sorts.
- It's like this from
our point of view.
You got stacked pallets.
All the way up to the back.
And the right inside
you've got all the rooms.
Part of the office and there's
a toilet out the back.
And we've checked and the
pallets are about here.
- There's something slow
burning up the back.
Jesus, who owns all this stuff?
- Where's the paint?
- We didn't see any.
- Well they said that it's up here.
Want some of this oxy mate?
It's good stuff.
- No, I'm trying to kick it.
- Right-o you two.
Okay you guys, you do another search
around the rest of the
pallets, all right?
Our guys, you check the rooms.
The fox cove guys, you
back them up, yeah?
All right, start to work.
- Backa, what about the fire mate?
If that turf goes up
we're in a real way.
- Yeah I know mate.
But approach, rescue,
suppression, overhaul.
You know the drill.
Until we find this guy,
we can't touch the fire.
- If he's in there, he's...
- He's what?
Huh?
Jesus Christ, aris,
this is not helping me.
If you guys get a chance,
if you've got time,
get in between the fire
and the turfs, yeah?
Lil, thanks for that.
It was important.
- Still not back yet?
- Oh they should be.
Maybe they're not going there.
- Well if they don't they should be
halfway to queensland by now.
- You don't sound very concerned.
- Oh course...
- It is your daughter,
for Christ sake.
- I'm concerned,
but she's turned 17.
You can't just order her back.
You gotta, listen, advise.
- He's a criminal, Perry.
- He's a kid who's made a few mistakes.
He's a victim of circumstance.
- And so you're perfectly
happy for taz to be with him.
- I'm not perfectly happy about it.
Jeanine, it's a teenage crush.
I think she'll stop herself
before she does anything too stupid.
- Oh.
- Rebecca said he didn't
take anything with him.
So...
- Yeah, you're right.
Taz said it was beautiful here.
Reminds her of the place
we used to go camping.
- You know we gave you
an open invitation
to come here.
- Like that was gonna happen.
- Why not?
- Hanging out with your trophy wife
isn't high on my priority list.
- Jesus, jeanine, I thought
we were beyond that.
- Why, 'cause it makes you feel better
if you think we are?
No it shouldn't be this hard.
You're not there.
I have to work.
I can't pander to her all the time.
And now I'm at a loss
and you think I should be okay
because I'm supposed to be beyond it?
- Yeah, I'll
see what I can find out.
- What are you doing lying around?
The place is burning up.
Am I talking a bit fast for you?
No one's doing a bloody thing.
Put the fire out!
- You haven't told him Brian?
- I wanna know why
everyone's standing around
watching the thing burn instead
of doing something about it.
- Everyone is doing their job, mate.
But it'd be better if
you stood back a bit.
- No, no don't tell me
where I have to stand.
That's my livelihood there
and you're doing nothing about it.
- Everyone is doing
what they have to do.
You come with me.
- Just sitting on their asses!
Put the fire out!
- Matey, calm down.
- Don't Matey me.
My life in there.
Why don't you tell them to put it out?
- Why don't you come and tell us
why you've got goods stored inside.
- None of your business.
- Well if it's a fire
hazard it is my business.
- They are the bloody fire hazard.
I've got permission.
- You come with me, I'd
like to hear about that.
- Isn't there somewhere
we can go and look?
- I'll give it another half
hour and I'll call Mike.
I doubt there's anything
he could do, though.
- Who's Mike?
- Policeman.
- God, you're on a first
name basis with the law?
You're telling me that this place
has a whole police officer?
- That's right,
he's got his own car
with a siren and everything.
- So, this is what she does?
- Yep, she's just finished
a children's book.
It's a beauty.
- The four door
is looking good too.
- What's the money like?
- Oh not much yet, but you know.
- Hello?
- It's Rebecca, they're back.
You can come get her.
- Thanks Rebecca.
- Taz?
- Just stay away from me.
- What's going on?
- You knew what's going on.
Why did you do that?
- Do what, taz?
- She's right, you're on her Perry.
Yeah, you wanted me away from her.
Well this is what you get.
- Taz, what's happened here?
- Leave her alone you said to me.
- Taz, come on.
- Just stay away from me.
- You've gotta go with
your folks, darling.
- I don't wanna go anywhere with them.
- Honey, where
else you gonna go?
- You gonna hit me again?
- You're taking all this
pretty easily, aren't you?
For somebody who cares
so much about taz.
- I'm in control is all.
- No,
not good to hold it all in Hank.
Pretty soon you're gonna explode.
But that's not what
you're doing, is it?
You're not holding anything in.
Is there anything in there for anyone?
- Why don't you piss off
back to your daddy.
Huh, I don't want you hanging
around, you understand?
Ah, and I want a new counselor.
- Fine.
Taz, come on.
- We did these three rooms here.
No one there.
We got to the end room.
The door's shut and there's
a fair bit of heat around.
We didn't have time to search it.
- Okay, there's stuff
cluttered up here.
There's crap everywhere.
It's much worse there.
You can hardly see anything at all.
- Yeah, we got nothing either.
We found some dead end wire
up here in the corner.
It's smaller way making smoke worse.
This stuff's impossible to put out.
- Okay, aris, you and Joey please
check the last room.
If you got heat a third
of the way down the door
you don't go in.
- Well we can go halfway down.
I thought you wanted to find there.
- Yeah I do but I don't
wanna flash over
and you two did, okay?
It's a third of the way down the door.
You don't go in, all right?
When you're done, see if you can help
the atwood guys keep the fire
away from the turfs, yeah?
- Rough day?
Come on bud.
- Watch yourself, mate.
Hey, watch yourself.
Whoa Joe, let's check this out.
You set?
- Yep.
- How far?
- Down to about here, halfway.
- What do you reckon?
- I reckon we'd better be quick.
- All right, go!
Go!
- Clear, throw it in there.
Get out of there.
Above you, Joe!
- Oh Jesus aris!
- Ah copy that Fifi com,
ah I mean fire com.
What's it like in your ivory tower?
- All the better to keep
an eye plebs like you lot.
What's happening, over?
- So far, so good.
No bodies, we've managed
to keep the fire away
from the turfs, over.
- Who's in there, over.
- Ah, Joey and aris.
They've only been in there 10 minutes.
- We're coming out now.
- Hold on a minute, standby Fifi.
Joey, aris you've only
been in there 10 minutes.
Joey are you there?
- Joey, Joey!
Joey!
We got a problem!
Joey's stuck!
Come on mate.
- Soldiers road control.
Fire com, backa you there?
Come in backa. - Joey can you hear me?
- We gotta go!
- Ah shit!
- We gotta go now!
Come on, hurry up.
Go!
Get out of here.
- Backa, you there?
Backa what's going on?
- It's fire com, soldiers road control.
- Ah bloody hell.
- Aris, Joey you there?
- Just wiped pad
out, got my hands full.
Stand by Fifi.
- Don't stand me by, what's happening?
- Aris, are you okay?
- Joey shouldn't be in there.
He's been working all night, over.
- Lil, Kieran, get ready
to clear those lines
as soon as they come
out of there, yeah?
- Yep.
- Still no answer.
- Okay, guys what's going on in there?
- We gotta go in backa.
- Yeah just...
Aris, you reading me?
- Backa, we gotta go.
- Yeah okay, go, go go in there.
- What are you doing?
- I'm going in.
- No, you're not, backa.
- I'm the only one here
with cable training.
- You're the officer in charge.
There's enough people in there already.
- He's my brother.
You're here, you take over.
Joe do you read me?
Aris, are you there, can
you come back please?
Okay, Kieran, lil, get
those wires out of there
as quickly as you can!
Louisa, get in here!
Get these hoses out of here!
Joey!
Okay, down you go.
Take your gear off.
Get your gear off slowly, don't panic.
Just slowly.
That's all right, mate.
There you go mate.
There you go, just
breathe, just breathe.
What happened, Joey?
- The palette fell and
the fire went straight
into the furnace.
Murray's busted his head.
- He should have
just got out of there.
- A pile of furniture
fell on top of me, backa
I wasn't going anywhere.
Aris pulled me out.
The dog, backa, it's aris's.
It's far away.
- And the squatters?
- I checked every room, mate.
It's not there.
- Okay, all right.
Okay, listen up.
Let's get these hoses out of here
as fast as we can.
Get around the other
side of the building.
We're going defensive.
You hear me, we're going defensive!
Everybody now, take lines out.
Fire com, soldiers road control.
You there, Fifi?
- Soldiers road control,
fire com, go ahead backa,
what's happening?
- It's all okay.
They're all out, over.
- Ah copy that.
Don't do that again to me.
- Sorry Fifi, I
didn't have much choice.
- Joey's been working all night.
He shouldn't be in there.
You stand him down, over.
- Copy that, Fifi.
- Fire com clear.
Ah!
- They told me it was your dog.
- You took care of it.
- Yeah.
- Thanks.
- He was like our kid.
He ran away.
- Sorry, I can take care
of him if you like.
- That's over.
- No.
We will.
- Hey, who's that?
- Oh that's Matt.
Apparently he went to fox
cove after the party
with a friend.
I'm really sorry.
- That's all right.
That's all right.
I'm glad he's alive.
- You can say no Joey,
you worked all night.
For Christ sake.
- I suppose I'm a bit of a yes man.
- That's not a joke.
You're gonna kill yourself that way.
Do you want the kid
to be born an orphan?
- Um you need to die too
for it to be an orphan, Fifi.
- I'm serious, Joey.
- All right, well I've never said no
to a fire call.
- No because I've never
worked all night.
- You have worked days
and taken night calls.
- But that is different.
- I can, so many ways.
Like, what?
- Joey you can't be reckless now, okay?
- All right.
- I was on the other end of that radio
when you were in there.
Do you know what that was like?
- Well it was a bit more comfortable
than where I was.
Fif, I'm sorry, all right?
It wasn't too bad, all right?
It sounded worse than what it was.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Okay.
What, what?
- Got a cramp.
- Are you all right?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- You're not going to work tonight.
- I have to, fif.
- He's dead to the world.
He's had no sleep.
- If he doesn't
come, I'll lose the night.
I can't afford that.
- But if he goes out
it will be dangerous.
He'll be a liability.
- Fifi, shh, you want me to have a job?
- Look, Joe's a good worker.
I don't wanna lose him,
but if I don't go out,
I don't pay for the house.
I don't pay for the boat.
He has to go or I get someone else.
- Okay.
You be careful.
Hey kevi.
- It's good to see you could make it.
- Can he get some rest on the way out?
- I need him to set the nets.
- Why, don't you know how?
- Fif.
- I've gotta drive the boat.
- Yeah, but once it's out
it can drive itself.
- Geez, I can see this
happening every time, yeah?
Once.
You get a few hours
while I set the nets.
Is that all right?
- Thank you.
- Yeah, enough of that, but...
- Thanks kev.
Well, all future negotiations
are in your hands.
- And when were they not?
Careful.
Joey.
Something to aim for.
- I'm sorry you're feeling like this.
I know it doesn't help to hear this
but it does go away.
What you need is a dose
of the double d's.
Distraction and diversion.
You distract and divert your attention
and pretty soon you don't
think about it at all.
Could use some help with dinner.
- Well, look the fireman's home.
- Oh jeanine.
So lovely to see you.
What's all this.
- Um, we had a bit of an incident.
I tired to call you but
you'd already left.
- Ah, what happened?
- I'll tell you later.
- No, now Perry.
- Um, it's a long story.
Taz was,
look really it's better
if I tell you later.
- This your idea of a clean slate?
- Look I know, I know I'm sorry.
But we can use this.
This is our chance to make a
case for our independence.
- I think I'm gonna have a shower.
- I'm out of hot water.
Tense it up.
- I don't wanna know.
- It's very beautiful.
- Yes, it is.
- Perry tells me you've just finished
drawing another children's book.
- Oh did he?
- Must be very satisfying.
- Well it's not exactly
a university lecture
but it pays some bills.
- Really?
Perry said it was a bit of a struggle.
- When did he mention that?
In between you bitching about taz
and asking for more money?
- Dinner is served.
- Look delicious - sword fish
and marinated prunes.
It's all in the preparation,
which we can thank lil for.
Thank you darling.
No drinking?
- Aren't you being good.
- Well, drinkings just one
of those things in my life
I no longer need.
- If I lived here, I'd
be drinking every day.
- You said you liked it.
- The view, not the people.
- Well nothing is stopping
you from leaving.
- Well so much for the open invitation.
- You're right actually.
What I meant to say is
nothing is stopping
me from leaving.
I'm staying at the aerofest tonight.
- You don't have to do that.
- Yes I do.
This is your life, Perry.
You deal with it.
- I'll ask her to stay at a hotel.
- You ask her what you like.
I'm still not staying here tonight.
- Lil, come on.
I'll come with you.
- Perry?
- If you think I'm
gloating, you're wrong.
- I know jeanine.
When I think about you and me
I think about how if
we'd never been together
then we'd never have had taz.
So it was worth it just for that.
But now, after all those years of agony
you manage to just keep
it right on going.
Taz can go or stay, whatever she wants.
I want you out of here first
thing in the morning.
- You know, dad, what you need
is a dose of the double d's.
Distract and divert.
Pretty soon, you won't
even think about it.
- Hey lil.
- Lily pilly.
- Lily of the valley.
- Danish Lily.
- Pictures of Lily.
- Tiger Lily.
- Oh how much have you
guys had to drink?
- I love Lily enough if we can think of
that many Lily's.
What do you want, do you want a beer?
- A shower actually.
- Yeah what, did you run out of water?
- Don't ask.
You haven't seen Louise, all right?
- No not too good.
It's pretty tough to
know who's up the road
at what time.
- Can I talk to you for a second?
- Yeah, sure.
- Listen do you mind if
I stay in the bunk room
for the night?
- Of course, that's fine.
- We have a full house at our place.
It's complicated.
- Well you can stay at
our place if you like.
Be a lot more comfortable.
- Ah no I want some
time on my own so...
- Fine, you got a towel?
- Yeah, thanks.
- I'm heading off.
You know where everything is?
- Yeah thanks.
- Just help yourself
to whatever you want
from the fridge.
Night cap.
- So much for not drinking.
- One won't hurt.
- Oh, it's good.
- Um, it's Russian.
You did great today.
You were on top of it the whole time.
Anticipated problems, that was good.
- Thanks backa.
I appreciate it.
It felt like I was part of things.
Like I did something worthwhile.
- Well you did.
- It's so peaceful here.
And quiet.
- Yeah.
