- The question we need to be asking ourselves

is who is Lane's predator?

- Me, with a crow bar.

- No, Alex.

- The Prime Minister.

- Yes, Michelle, exactly.

- Wait, the Prime Minister?

- We have three options.

One, sit here and be paralyzed by indecision.

Two, go back to the real safe place.

Or three, go to Lane's boss

and expose her to the whole country.

- And she'll listen to us why?

- Funnily enough, I had thought of that, Alex

Guess what day it is tomorrow. Michelle?

- It's maintenance Monday.

- Right again, Michelle.

[Michelle chuckles] - Maintenance Monday?

- It's a monthly cleaning day at Government House.

- So?

- So, trust me, we have an opportunity

to have an audience with the Prime Minister.

All those in favour of going to the capital city

to make the P.M. make Lane accountable for what she's done.

Say aye.

- Aye. You need to say aye for it to count.

- Really?

- Those men died without anyone even knowing

they still existed.

We need to change that. Aye.

[bright music]

[bright music continues]

[bright music continues]

- You know what Pip, I think you were made for the capitol.

The prime minister is really gonna love you.

- Do you really think so?

- Oh, I know so, you both have really good hair

and you both wear the colour purple

even though you shouldn't, but you do it anyway.

And that's confidence.

- Thank you.

It's really nice to have your support, Michelle.

Especially when everyone on the bus

seems to fight me at every turn.

[Pip sighs]

Do you think Bobby's gonna give us the evils forever?

- I do think so, yes.

- Well, maybe we should...

- What?

- Apologize?

- What for?

- I, I don't know.

- I don't know either.

- Maybe we should air our thoughts.

- You're right, we should, but before we do

there's something I need to do.

[feet clacks]

[door clicks]

- Hi Bobby.

We just wanted to create some space.

And, and open up a dialogue

for an unreserved apology for

that thing that happened - thing that happened

on the table. on the table.

- [Both] And that we are ready to discuss.

when you are ready to discuss.

- There's nothing to discuss.

- Do you mean like you don't wanna discuss with us?

- I mean, there's nothing to discuss, I'm fine.

- Yeah, so what usually happens with traumatized people

is that they say they're fine

but what's actually happening

is that they're bottling up all the ick they feel inside

and covering it with this unconcerned veneer

until one day there's too much ick and then they explode.

- What happens to non-traumatized people?

- Well, they say they're fine too, but-

- So when I say I'm fine, I mean I'm fine.

Oh, would you look at that?

It's time for you

to go over there.

- Okay, yeah.

- Okay, we'll just, we'll just be down...

He's definitely bottling.

Ah, yeah. - 100%.

- Did you think it was important?

- Hey, you need to stay hydrated.

[Alex hums]

- [Alex] Can I help you?

- What are you working on?

- New theory, the baby teeth one is toast

since my sample set got exploded.

- Look Alex, I'm really sorry about Jackson.

- Why? That's what you wanted.

- I, I just wanted someone's trust.

I was all alone and he found me

for a few days there he pretended to be my best mate

and I believed him

and I can see how he could have been

a pretty choice brother.

If, if you want to make any sense of this

you've probably gonna need a military grid map.

- This means something to you.

- It looks like an MGRS code.

- Meaning?

- A military grid reference system.

- Meaning?

- Coordinates, a location.

You used to be able to just look the grids up online.

But now you might need a hard copy from the library or...

- Government archives.

- That would do it.

- Good morning everyone, this is it.

- Wakey wakey. - Welcome to the Capitol City.

- What are you gonna write in yours?

[intense music]

- We are committee members of the Hiro Valley Council

and I'm here to lay a complaint

about Wellness's gross human rights violations

and the existence of men.

Time is of the essence

and I'm not leaving until I've spoken to the Prime Minister

now.

- Excuse me, did I just hear you mention

Wellness and human rights violations?

- Yes, yes you did.

- Carla Tui, special counsel to the Prime Minister.

- Pip.

- And I'm Michelle.

- Oh right, well I can assure you the Prime Minister

always has time for human rights.

- Hey, maybe you should stay on the bus.

- Right, now's the time to stay on the bus

after the mushroom juice, murders and explosions.

- [Bobby] You didn't have a choice those times.

- I don't have a choice now.

- All right, we're on. Maintenance Monday.

- Hello, Prime Minister.

Prime Minister, hello.

Hello Prime Minister.

Does my voice sound funny?

- Do you want it to sound funny?

- No, no, like does it sound shallow?

Like there's nothing underneath it.

Like there's no, like oomph.

- That is how you talk, what?

- That's her, that's her voice.

- Excuse me.

- She's in here.

- Excuse me.

- Yes?

- What's up?

- Yeah, Prime Minister. - Slay.

- Bra, bra, bra, girl. - Your grace.

- I, we, we are, we are committee members from Hiro Valley

and we need to go

to your office right now. - Now.

This is a matter of unprecedented national importance.

- [Michelle] We're not crazy people.

- We can prove it.

- I am so sorry, ma'am. - Don't be.

- [Prime Minister] I'm keen to maintain my connection

to our regional representatives.

You get a maintenance day support bunny

and you get a maintenance day support bunny

and you get a maintenance day support bunny.

- Thank you.

- Okay, I'll just put on my little hat.

All right, hit me with the tea

honorable committee members of Hiro Valley.

- Prime Minister, we have proof that Lane,

the founder of Wellness

and mayor of Hiro Valley

has been holding male survivors of the virus

in a secret underground facility

and forcibly extracting sperm from them for her own gains.

Seven of these men perished yesterday

and Lane is accountable for their deaths.

Okay, I I know if you had said this to me three weeks ago,

I would've called you crazy.

We thought all the men had died.

- We have men.

You mean humans with a Y chromosome?

- Right, well, we thought they had all died, until.

- Oh.

[hand thuds]

[platform whirs]

- You are gonna wanna sit down for this.

- No, I'm all good.

- Until...

- All I can see is feet, Carla.

Is that all you can see?

- Yep, just feet.

- [Pip] Until...

- I'm being punked right now.

Is that it?

Right wing radio hosts.

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music continues] [platform whirs]

- [Michelle] Not worth it.

Unless she's quite, quite well.

Not that it matters.

I always struggle with since I was quite young.

It still clicks, you know, sometimes I go upstairs

or go downstairs.

It's actually when I tend to hear more or so.

You know the weather is a bit cold in the morning.

- Ew Alex, no, mini croissants are not pocket food.

- I pay my taxes.

- No you don't actually because I do all the returns.

- Shh.

- I'm gonna take a piss.

- Don't put your sugary grubby fingers anywhere.

Have some civic respect.

- You mean these grubby fingers?

[door thuds]

- Don't be a dick.

Cheers.

- All G, no B.

[mouth slurps]

[Bobby clears throat]

- I wanna completely and unreservedly apologize

for the trauma and injustice you have suffered

at the hands of unscrupulous people.

- Thank you.

- Have you thought about your place in society?

- My place in society?

- You're an army dude, is that right?

- [Bobby] Yeah.

- My brother Stu was in the army.

He told me basic training was all about stripping away

what makes you you

so you could like follow orders.

Sounded suss to me but he deadass saw it

as the best honour of his life.

- Actually, I can relate to that.

- Apropo of duty and honour.

You ever hear of the man with the golden arm?

- Sorry?

- I did my high school exhibition on him

right before the virus hit.

James Christopher Harrison, Aussie guy.

His blood was legit unicorn.

It had these magic antibodies in it

that helped little babies with blood disease glow up.

From the first year he could, aged 18

right up until the last year he was allowed, ripe old 81

James Harrison made over 1000 donations.

You wanna know how many little bubbas he saved

with that unicorn blood of his?

2.5 million.

Just him and his fluids, 2.5 million.

You know where I'm going with this, don't you?

- So what you just, you want a piece of me too?

- Not if you agree to be the baker.

- The baker?

- They can't take a piece of you

if you are the one making the cake.

- With all due to respect, Prime Minister.

This is bullshit.

- I promise you.

Doing anything to you without your consent ain't me.

Never will we.

But here's the kicker.

The ladies making babies right now,

their babies can't have babies

without a guy like you being the baker.

And without a baker we're done, as a species.

Homo sapiens extinction event.

See ya, wouldn't want to be ya.

That's just science.

Jimmy Harrison saved 2.5 million people.

You could save so many more.

- Why are you doing this?

- Doing what?

- Guilt tripping me into this game.

- No game, Bobby.

This ain't a zero sum sitch.

It's a mad win win, deadass.

Deadest freaking ass you ever deadassed.

- Come to me, military shit.

Substance reports, no.

Capital crimes, no.

Bunny report?

Investigation to the rise of Wellness

in regional New Zealand.

[intense music continues]

[paper clacks]

[door clicks]

- Can I help you?

- Nope.

- Alex, what did you do?

- Nothing.

- Okay, fam, Carla's arranged a safe house for you

in our new urban aeroponics shed.

Bobby's existence will remain confidential

until our strategists have firmed up on comms.

- Confidential, for how long?

- Until we have a water tight plan.

- What are you doing about Lane?

- Yeah. - We're starting an inquiry

into all Wellness activities in Hiro Valley.

- What, an inquiry? But we just told you what she did.

- Yes, and we need to verify.

- Fuck the verify.

- Jamie.

- Look, you should be out there

with everything you've got hunting her down.

- Jamie, you need to chill.

Carla's already deep dived into the rise of Wellness.

- You mean the report that says

Wellness is a high level concern?

- She must be referring to a draft report.

But if mistakes have been made, then I will-

- Oh, mistakes have been made.

You've let Wellness spread its shitness

all over this country.

- [Pip] Alex.

- It's true and they know it.

The cult of Wellness is spread like a cancer

because Lane has been using stolen sperm

to convince everyone that being well leads to more babies.

- I'll be the baker.

- I'm sorry?

- You're right, let me go live to the nation.

Tell the full story.

- No, you can't just go live to the nation.

- Prime Minister, for years,

years I have been searching for this so-called safe place.

And fuck me, did that not work out.

But it doesn't matter, you see

because I don't need to find it.

I need to make it safe for all of us.

So call one of your press conference thingies.

Let me tell my side of the story.

Expose Wellness for the fuck it is.

Then, then I will be your baker.

[upbeat intense music]

- Ma'am, with all due respect

if the public find out that a man survived the virus

there is no knowing how they'll react.

- Call an emergency press conference.

I'll speak to the nation tonight.

- But prime minister, I just-

- That's right, Carla, I am the Prime Minister.

- I would be remiss if I did not clarify.

Are we really gonna do this?

- Deadass.

[audience chatters]

- Have you guys seen Michelle?

- No, though she was with you.

- But if you want someone to kiss your ass

there's a cactus over there.

- Shut up, Alex.

[feet thuds]

Put them down, it's so disrespectful.

[button clinks]

- You look good

for someone who's been shitting in the woods for eight years

[Bobby scoffs]

Here.

[soft music]

Stu gave that to me before he went on tour.

- Oh.

- I miss him.

- Yeah.

[soft music continues]

- Here.

[Prime Minister chuckles] [barrel clacks]

That thing's ancient.

Any bullets would be dust by now.

Looks boss though.

You ready?

- [Bobby] Ready.

- Let's go make history.

[feet clacks]

[Bobby sighs]

[audience chatters]

- What? How did she-

- [Carla] Good evening everyone

and thank you for coming at such short notice.

The Prime Minister will now make a pressing announcement.

Prime Minister. - Unbelievable.

[camera clicks]

- Thank you, this morning, three ladies from Hiro Valley

came to me with an incredible story to tell.

They're right here.

Pip, Alex, Jamie, stand up so they can see you.

[audience gasps]

[camera clicks]

- Guys stand up, stand up, hurry up.

[camera whirs]

- Pip, look out.

- [Prime Minister] Thank you, you can sit down.

- What's going on?

- [Prime Minister] I was advised

to keep the story confidential.

It is a devastating truth to hear,

but I believe the truth however, painful

is essential to our progress as a nation.

And like so much of our pain,

it involves a miracle.

Today I was made aware

that a human with a Y chromosome survived the virus.

[audience gasps]

Thank you.

This person has been victimized beyond reason

but bravely uncovered a treasonous

and far-reaching conspiracy

that has been years in the making.

There will be a time for questions and a time for answers

but right now I want to promise you

that the perpetrators will be brought to justice.

The lies end now.

[dramatic music]

It is my honour to introduce to you Robert O'Connor.

[audience gasps]

[valiant music]

[audience chatters]

[gun bangs]

[audience screams]

- And we have an incident here.

A man has just walked on stage and shot the Prime Minister.

I repeat, a man has shot the Prime Minister.
