What do you want?

Stacey, call the police. I'm being robbed.

I know.

I asked them to.

Why?

You slept with Rhonda.

Oh.

Oh. Is that all you can say?

Oh. Sorry?

Sorry.

That's just not good enough.

My relationship with Rhonda Jacoby.

She's at least three inches taller than you.

It was a spur -of -the -moment thing.

Oh, right. Well, this is a spur -of -the -moment thing, too, OK?

Meet my cousins, Bruno and Ralph.

They're just here to help us sort a few things out.

Like the money you owe me.

Do I owe you money? Yes, you owe me money.

You're not seriously going to say that you don't remember.

Oh,

Jimbo, you never think of anything but yourself.

Do you? I wouldn't go quite that far.

What are

you

doing?

Refreshing your memory.

She's not taking this as well as I thought.

During our relationship, I bought or paid for the following items.

Typical fish, $327.

Fish tank, $609.

Fish tank delivery, $49 .50.

Fish food, $11 .95.

Having the fish tank removed when you forgot to feed the fish, $30.

Starting to remember.

Cooking class, $375.

Golf retreat, $1 ,200.

Golf club member changing my kitchen after your chicken, $200.

Glass company for the new window, $200. Okay, okay, I get the point. That brings

the grand total to a tidy sum of $4 ,500.

That's a lot of money.

I've got all the receipts.

You kept the receipts?

Now, this is the part you should really listen to.

Are you listening?

You have my full and undivided attention.

You have until lunchtime today to pay up.

Now, I don't mean your usual roll out of bed at four in the afternoon and have a

bowl of cereal lunch. I mean mine.

1pm sharp at Big Sky.

Is that clear?

Crystal, it's funny I thought we might be able to stay friends.

Excuse me.

Jimbo, where have you been?

Somebody threw me off a bridge. Oh, how inconvenient.

It's true. I believe you. I don't know why, but I do. The point is he missed

your double charter.

Sorry. You were sorry yesterday with that taxi problem. You were sorry on

Tuesday when you locked yourself in the bathroom.

You were sorry last week when... What was it? My grandfather died.

I thought it was your grandmother.

Oh, no, grandfather.

Jimbo, look, I can't keep asking people to cover for you all the time.

You're getting too selfish.

I'm serious.

Yeah, okay. I'm sorry.

Chris, can I have the word?

Sure.

Any chance that you could loan us four and a half thousand bucks?

Fair.

Scotty, mate, can I have a word? Excuse me.

Yeah. Mate, um...

You couldn't lend us four or five thousand bucks, could you?

Good one.

I'm not joking.

Why does everyone think I'm joking?

Because you never pay back what you borrow.

Don't I?

Hey, look, if it'll help, I've got a hot tip for a sure thing at Ramwick.

Great. Do you reckon you could lend us ten bucks?

Sorry, mate, I'm broke. I've hunted a lot.

Lauren, I need to talk to you.

Sure, come in.

I need an advance on my pay.

You're not serious.

I am.

I've got a big problem.

I can't believe this. After our conversation in here earlier, an advance

what?

From what I can see, you don't do any work around here.

Is that a no?

Of course it's a no.

Barney never said no.

That's all I ever hear. Barney this, Barney that.

Jimbo, as I'm sure you can see, I am not Barney.

Yeah, well, Barney never looked any good in green.

Look, could you just make this one exception? It's really important to me.

Please. No. No more advances.

Those days are gone.

I said you look good in green.

The door's open.

Look, if you could just see it from my perspective. I mean, I know that the

money doesn't mean much to you, but, like, to me, it's... Jimbo.

It's... Janet.

Give it a rest.

Do you mind? I was having a conversation.

Well, I could see you getting pissed off, so I thought I'd get rid of him for

you. And you don't think I could have done that?

They're going to have to learn to respect my authority or I'm going to get

nowhere here.

OK.

Look, I'm not saying I don't need your help.

Yes, you are.

That's exactly what you think.

No, I just... It doesn't matter.

Chris Dyer, call for you.

Shay, we're in a meeting. Can it wait?

Oh, it's urgent. SAR on line two.

Chris Manning.

Yeah, OK.

Calling from the air.

What's SAR?

Search and rescue.

We were thinking you're on off the head. John Sandy, you take the slipstream.

Lexi, you call the manager.

So he does the chat as if we were on a search for whiskey.

Lauren, this is the priority.

How often does this happen?

Often enough.

It's ridiculous.

Here you go. Thanks anyway.

Yeah!

How much did you have on?

I didn't have anything to put on it.

That's unfortunate.

Marty, Jimbo, you've got a search.

Charlie Tango Delta to Tango Whiskey Sierra.

Charlie Tango Delta, having any luck?

None, how about you?

Nada. We're pretty close to the cape.

Does this feel right to you?

What do you mean?

I don't know. I reckon they've got their coordinates wrong or something.

I'll tell you what.

I'll do one more path along the second quadrant if you take the first tracking

bow. You got it. Charlie Tango Delta.

Tango Whiskey Sierra, this is Charlie Tango Delta.

Go ahead, Charlie Tango.

Lexi, is there any chance you could loan me a lazy $5 ,000?

That's negative, Charlie Tango. I'm into the payment.

Just wondering, Charlie Tango Delta.

Search aircraft sport code 4019. This is SAR control.

We regret that the distress call was a hoax. There is no sinking yacht. Repeat,

no yacht in distress.

The search is called off as at 1148 hours.

Thank you for your time.

S -A -R -L.

Look, I'm surprised.

Wait for time.

I can't believe it. They're early.

Mate! Can you take my COVID job and I'll do your narrow run? It's really

important. Let's go. Thanks.

Can I help you?

Out of the way, pal.

I don't think so.

Look, your friend knows money and it's time to pay off. So how about you get

of the way?

I'll tell you what I'll do.

How about I get the airport cops and a few of those big blokes over there?

You just make sure he knows we'll get him sooner or later.

How long did that take?

About 12 weeks.

That's ridiculous.

Who set up this system?

You mean every time there's one of these SARs, we just cancel charters, send

people home and wait three months to be paid?

That's about the size of it.

What if it wasn't a hoax?

What do you want to do, just ignore distress calls?

No, I'm not suggesting that. I'm just saying that there should be a compromise

or something.

Did we volunteer for this thing or...? No, we drew the short straw.

Oh, that'd be right. This is just so chaotic.

Lauren, this is an aviation company. It's not an exact science.

You can't plan.

For everything.

It's big. Keep an eye out, and we promise you, you bring us part of the

spacecraft, and you'll get $100 ,000 cash.

What would you like to hear?

Ah, what have you got? Oh, so much stuff.

Everything's like so 80s.

I always stand here staring and I never choose anything.

Have you heard about this?

NASA has confirmed that NAVSTAR 3, a military satellite from the Cold War

will lose orbit and crash somewhere in the southwest Pacific today.

Excite AM are giving away $100 ,000 to the first person to bring a chunk of

satellite records to the office by tonight.

That'll be so cool to win.

Thanks, Guy. This is Tango Whiskey Sierra.

I'm putting down immediately and we'll be out of radio contact for a short

while.

How are we gonna land this crate?

Mind you.

Why don't I fly you back with it? We could split the prize money 50 -50.

I can drive there by tonight.

Why would I split it?

Good point.

To which I say two words, comfort and speed.

My plane is both comfortable and speedy, making your trip to the city a very

pleasurable experience. Get lost.

Okay, sure. It doesn't have to be 50 -50. No, that's right. It doesn't have

be anything. Okay, how does 60 -40 strike you? How about I strike you?

-30? Look, what about 100 -nothing, pal?

Forget it.

I don't need you.

See you later.

If you start walking now, you should make the city why about.

August?

Hang on.

Wait a second.

Look, maybe you're right.

Maybe comfort and speed are important.

I tell you what, if you fly me and me cylinder back to the city...

Yeah, all right, 70 -30, no worries.

70 -30.

All

right!

Hi,

guys.

No -one's playing any music.

I'm bored to tears with that stuff.

I've got a good idea.

Why don't we get rid of the thing?

Get rid of it?

What, altogether?

What is it? What's the problem?

It's part of the family. It was born here.

Oh, look at it. It was born before I was.

Chris, it's a piece of machinery no one ever uses.

I'm suggesting a whole new range of music. Big speakers, the lot.

Well? Comfort and speed, my friend. Comfort and speed.

What was that?

Don't worry about it.

Chris?

Hmm?

The jukebox, what's the big deal?

No one ever uses it. Lexi hates all the songs on it. There's nothing after 1983.

It just seems to sit there in the corner flashing.

Have you got a favourite song?

What's that got to do with it?

I bet I could play you a song.

One song.

And you'd change your mind.

You're just changing the subject. Do they want new music or not?

Oh, Duke's not about music.

Duke's about song.

What's the difference?

Well, music's on the radio.

You play music at home.

You don't hear it.

But with a juke, you put a buck in the slot, and then you wait, and then you

hear your song.

Am I missing something?

Obviously.

Tango Whiskey Zero, this is Big Sky Base.

Jimbo, what are you up to?

Shay, I found the Napstart satellite, the one with the 100 grand reward.

Oh my God, Julie, are you serious?

Lauren! Lauren!

Guess what?

Jimbo found the satellite! He's going to win his brilliant!

You're kidding, I don't believe it.

This is so exciting, what does it look like?

Jimbo, this is Lauren.

This isn't one of your scams, is it? No, honest, it landed in my lap. I've got

it right here.

And the bloke who helped me find it. That's amazing! Amazing, $100 ,000. I

need to pay you anymore.

Oh, you wish. Could you ring the radio station and let them know I'm on my way?

Yeah, I'll call them.

Congratulations.

How did they do it? I don't know.

So, after I pay Stacey back, I'm either going to restore the triumph or get one

of those new BMW convertibles.

You know, the one in the new James Bond film?

Ah, stuff it, I'll get the bimmer.

I reckon Pierce Brosnan's a much better James Bond than that Timothy Dalton

wanker, don't you?

I wouldn't know, mate.

Hey, if you're upset about the deal, you shouldn't be. 70 -30's pretty good. I

mean, you weren't even going to cut me in.

Yeah.

What?

I don't know.

Oh, what?

Well, me crop got swept away in the floods last year.

Lost everything.

I was going to use the money to buy me property back from the bank.

Well, they took it.

Well, you don't know the half of it, mate.

Oh, well, the 30K will help, won't it?

Yeah.

What's the problem?

No, no.

No, what?

We could try either, mate.

I'd say have a look at the wreck and hold on to our deck.

Still bloody hot.

Yep, he's got the wreckage on board now.

I don't know. He just said it was a piece of wreckage.

It's what?

Who said?

Where did you get this information?

Yeah.

Yes, I do.

Thank you.

Can you go and find Chris and tell him I need a minute quickly?

Thanks.

Tango Whiskey Sierra, this is Big Sky Bates.

This is Tango Whiskey Sierra. Go ahead, Big Sky.

Jimbo, I just spoke to Exide AM.

Oh, great. So where do we take it?

Nowhere. Apparently it could be really dangerous.

Excuse me?

Whereabouts is it in the plane?

Apparently the US Embassy heard about the contest and they've issued a

saying that the Navstar wreckage should not be approached under any

circumstances.

Approached? What did they say? How dangerous?

No, no details.

Ask her about the money. Do we still get our prize money?

I'm going to call the US Consulate and I'll get back to you as soon as I know

more, OK?

Thank you, Big Sky.

How

do you do?

Chris, this is my chief pilot, Chris Manning.

What's going on?

Uh, Jimbo's in the chieftain with a piece of that crashed satellite.

it's dangerous.

Well, it might not be. Let me just have a talk to you boys and we'll see what we

got here.

Now, what's the call sign?

Uh, Tango Whiskey Sierra.

Yeah, what's the pilot's name?

Jimbo James.

What's he like?

Is he reliable or is he likely to panic?

Uh, he's not reliable.

He's unlikely to panic.

Okay, Tango Whiskey Sierra. There's this big guy by the name of Mark Johansson

from the U .S.

Consulate. Do you read me there, Jimbo?

This is Tango Whiskey Sierra, Big Sky. What the hell's going on?

Well, that's what I want to find out. Now, I need you to describe to me

what it is you have on board there.

Well, it's a black cylinder, a bit bigger than a footy.

I couldn't tell you what it's made of. I don't know, some kind of metal. It's

got wires running down it and a sort of electrical thingy at one end.

It looks alright.

It doesn't appear to be cracked.

Good.

That's got to be bad.

Actually, there's a crack running down it and there's a sort of liquid glooping

out. How much has leaked out?

I don't know. About a schooner's worth?

What schooner?

Fifteen ounces.

Have you had any contact with the liquid?

No.

Why? What is it?

Don't worry. Just don't touch it right now. I need you to talk just for a

minute. What's the length ETA here?

Fifteen minutes.

Well, that's all the time we've got. I need him on the ground for sure by then.

There's no guarantee with traffic.

Not unless we arrange a priority landing clearance.

Good. Let's do it.

Well, they're not going to retract jumbos unless there's a real big reason.

Like what?

Like a crisis on the aircraft.

Life and death situation.

Well, you tell them we got both.

How about you tell me first?

I will.

Just get me that priority landing.

You tell them whatever you want, but we need an on -the -ground ASAP.

I appreciate it. Is this an outside lab?

Oh, yes, it is.

Yeah, it's me. I'm at the Big Sky base.

Looks like their guy's got the power mod.

I need you to call the NEC and tell them it's code G.

We've got a priority landing clearance on runway one -sixth left.

Good.

Tango Whiskey Sierra, this is Big Sky.

We're going to proceed to mascot. We have a priority landing clearance on

one -sixth left.

Priority? Chris, what the hell's going on?

I'll let you know, Jimbo.

Big Sky out.

Okay, Mr. Johansson.

It's your turn.

Let's just say I'd rather be here than in that plane.

Well, let's hear it. Big Sky, this is the Tango Whiskey Sierra.

Why do we have priority?

If there's a problem, we can chuck this thing out. What?

No way.

You don't have priority unless there's a big problem. Do you want that thing to

go off? What do you mean go off? What is it?

Chris, can we have the exact reason for the priority?

Tango Whiskey, Sierra, there is no emergency. Repeat, no emergency. It's

caution. The, uh, the cylinder you have on board there contains a delicate

scientific experiment, and the, uh, the last liquid from the cylinder has put it

in jeopardy, so we want to get it down here just as quickly as possible.

Thank you, Big Sky.

It's leaking.

Oh, you're kidding. How much?

15, 20 ounces.

Damn.

20 ounces an hour, 12, 15 minutes, baby.

Good. The plane's ETA is six minutes. They should be well and truly on the

ground. We're home free.

What's wrong?

You don't want to know.

Big Sky Base, this is Tango with Gutierrez. Chris, I've got a slight

The front landing gear won't lock into place.

Oh, I knew it. You wrecked it when we took off.

Oh, no, whack that light. That'll fix it. Shut up.

Chris, yeah, confirming that.

The front landing gear will not lock into place.

I go with you, Sierra. This is Big Sky. Stand by.

Your move.

Tell him to abort the landing.

You're kidding.

You said you wanted him down as soon as possible.

Tell him.

Well, I'm not going to tell him unless I've got a good reason.

Want to take your pilot?

I'm not playing games here.

Jimbo, this is Chris.

Abort and go around.

Chris, you're kidding. I can land this thing with or without the landing gear.

You know that.

Thank you, Whiskey Sierra. This is Big Sky.

I repeat, go around for now. I'll get back to you.

Chris, what the hell's going on? I'm going to have to land this thing soon

anyway. It's going to be dry as a martini.

You heard him. No, it's too risky.

Too risky?

Their lives are more important than your cylinder.

No, they're not.

Now, under no circumstances can he land that aircraft.

This doesn't make sense. You said it wasn't an emergency.

Now, you can't have it both ways.

Lauren Allen?

Yeah. Len Greif from Foreign Affairs.

How do you do?

Hi. This is... Yeah, yeah.

We're already acquainted, thanks.

We liaise on matters of mutual interest.

Or we're supposed to, aren't we, guys?

Sometimes the wires get a bit crossed.

Well, the wires have got a little crossed now.

Do you have any authority in this?

Yes, I do.

Then I would like some information about what's happening.

We've got a pilot who's apparently in danger and all we're getting is the

runaround in an American accent.

Now either someone comes clean or I start making phone calls.

The Navstar 3 was a nuclear -powered satellite.

Its power mod cylinder contained two rods of thorium -90, a highly

metal. If your plane crashes, the rods might shatter, sending radioactive

shrapnel everywhere.

Suburbs and miles around would have to be evacuated.

You're saying a nuclear explosion?

No, no, no. A conventional explosion, but...

A big one.

It's the spreading of radioactive debris is the problem.

You see, our American cousins don't want to be responsible for contaminating

half the city.

Jimbo, this is Chris.

That thing you've got on board is radioactive.

Radioactive?

Look, I've changed my mind, mate. You can have that.

What do you expect me to do, fly around like glow -in -the -dark? Chris, I can

still land this thing. No, he must... Abort the landing.

Can I talk to you?

Listen, mate.

This is Len Crichton, Foreign Affairs.

Now, you must do as you're told.

If you don't do as directed, you're in serious breach of aviation regulations.

You want to arrest me? No, as soon as I'm safely on the ground.

If he tries to land that thing, I promise you, he'll lose his license and

company's in trouble.

I'm dead serious.

Big Sky, this is Tango Whiskey Sierra. I'm on my final landing approach.

Sorry, Chris, I just thought I'd let you know.

Good on you, mate.

Jimbo, this is Chris.

If you land that aircraft and anything goes wrong, we could have radio activity

spread all through the suburbs.

You can't tell me to do this, Chris. I can land it. You know that.

I'm not telling you anything, Jimbo.

I'm asking you.

There's a big difference.

Hey, what are you doing?

Okay, Chris, no landing, you win. What now?

Tango Whiskey Theory, this is Big Sky.

Stand by.

Okay, gentlemen, the ball's in your court.

Okay, we're going to need the optimum coordinates for ditch.

Ditch? You're not ditching my plane.

Sorry.

No, excuse me.

If you make the decision to ditch that plane, then you take the responsibility.

I see no reason why we should...

Right. The coordinates.

You can make it adjust off the Tasman shelf.

So you're going to knowingly dump radioactive material into the ocean?

That's exactly what we did with the Apollo 13 lunar module after the on

explosion. It had the same power supplies as the NASA door.

Dropped us a couple of hundred miles off the coast to New Zealand, a long way

from those astronauts.

I never even heard that happen.

Then we did a good job.

What about Jim Mooney's, mate?

You got an aircraft carrier for them?

That's where it's going.

Hey, Moore, that liquid's leaked out.

You're right.

Um, Chris, if I was to tell you about, um, another schooner's worth of that

liquid's leaked out, what would those blokes say?

Forty ounces of cooler.

Big Sky, this is Tango Whiskey Sierra. Chris, come on, mate.

Come on, what am I going to tell them?

Care to guess?

We've got five minutes, maybe less, before that quarter goes hot.

And we can presume what hot means.

That's cool. That's cool. Oh, he's critical and that plane will go sky

These men are expandable.

Am I right?

Jim,

this is Chris.

Track directly eastbound.

Then ditch the plane off the coast. That thing's going to blow up in five

minutes. Explode? Why didn't you tell us before?

Tell us. Right, that's it. It's out of here. We're going to chuck it out.

Get the emergency door out.

Don't touch it. Or the liquid.

That'll increase your chances of being contaminated a hundredfold.

Okay, Jimbo, we're on our own here.

This is what we're going to do.

Jimbo's a dead man.

That Senator thing is going to go critical in four minutes.

What do you mean, go critical?

Or something.

Well, uh, set the coordinates.

The plane is on autopilot. What now?

Now you're going to parachute out.

What? No way!

Lexi says there should be four parachutes in the luggage compartment at

of the plane.

Remember, have a look in the compartment for parachutes. If you don't find any,

don't tell me.

All right, if you ever get me out of this, I promise I'll be a better bloke.

I'll spend more time with Anna and Barry.

I thought you said you lost Anna and Barry in the flood.

I'll stop lying all the time.

There's no parachute.

You'll keep looking.

We're not really going to jump, are we? Well, you got a better idea?

I've never done it before.

Just shut up and keep looking.

Jimbo, you've got two minutes to ditch that aircraft.

Look, I've got to tell you something.

Drop one of those on.

It's important.

What are you doing? I'm trying to set the autopilot so we can jump out of this

plane and it won't follow us down.

What?

Thank you.

Get out of there. I repeat, get out of there, Jimbo. I can't do it.

You have to. The plane's about to blow up. I'm scared of heights.

It's not that high.

That's what I was trying to tell you before.

Well, I'm scared of explosions, so you'd better get over it.

Jimbo, you can lessen them in.

Oh, this has been a shocker of a day.

Okay, two words.

Comfort and speed.

It'll be a lot more comfortable if we're down on the ground when this thing

blows up. And the speediest way to get there is to jump.

Who are you guys?

NAC. What's that?

The Nuclear Energy Corporation.

Well, where are you taking it? Speak to the director later.

It's still reading hard. Better go again.

I've been thinking you can have your advance.

Four and a half thousand dollars.

Thanks. But it's the last time.

Okay.

Oh, you couldn't make it 5 ,120, could you? So I can pay them all back.

I found out there's a few others.

Okay, but that's it.

What's the prognosis?

When do you find out if you're... Contaminated.

Apparently not till next week.

If there's anything I can do, you just let me know.

I'd better go. I've got some work to do back at the bank.

50 -50.

What about 100? Nothing.

You see?

That's the soul.

One.
