I'm sorry Just wait

G'day.

You Jeremy?

No, that's Jeremy.

Oh, I'm sorry, nobody told me.

Hi, I'm Chris Manning.

I'm Dr.

John O 'Halloran.

This is Meg and Lily Bateman and their nephew, Pierce.

How do you do?

I'll give you a hand with this.

Pierce can do it, thank you.

Don't upset yourself.

Meg.

Leave in touch.

Are you sure we've done the right thing? The pilot's going to find out.

It was the only way.

No, that won't be enough.

Morning.

Morning, Shay.

Excuse me.

Morning, Shay.

Morning. I get it. I'm pretending we forgot.

What, forgot what?

Morning, Shay.

Happy birthday.

Oh, thank you, Ronnie.

Oh, is it today?

Oh, no, Shay.

I'm really sorry.

Oh, what is it?

A party?

A stripgram?

You guys are so transparent.

No, really, we forgot.

Shady McWilliam?

Oh, no.

Oh, don't you dare.

What? You guys.

What's your problem?

I'm paying to do this.

Like, I want to see a photograph.

But you guys are so tacky.

Look, no offence, but I don't want to see you with your clothes off.

Just take the package, lady.

I'm really sorry.

Big Sky, this is Tango Whiskey Sierra on final approach.

Tango Whiskey Sierra, this is Big Sky. You'll be just in time.

How are you and your passenger getting on?

Oh, he's not real talkative.

Oh, I wouldn't take it personally. He's probably just got taste.

You know, Lauren, you really should read the job sheet more closely.

Who's that from?

Mum and Dad, I think.

Jake, can you go and tell Ronnie that Chris is on his way in and could he

check his maintenance schedule?

Like, excuse me, but, like, have we forgotten something?

Oh, happy birthday?

Lauren, you remembered.

Two presents. You're so generous.

Or are you just going senile and forgot about the first one?

No, tell me now.

I'm 22, Mum. I think I can take it.

What?

Oh!

How do you do that?

That'll be telling.

David swore me to secrecy.

David?

Copperfield. Ah.

It's true. I flew him to Lizard Island yesterday.

I don't believe that. I saw the show. If he can fly, what does he need you for?

Yeah, it's trouble with long distances.

Hey, Clark.

Jimbo. How are you?

How's business?

People keep dying, mate.

There's no end to it.

Where would I find my body?

One Jeremy Lord.

That'd be Chris's.

Talk to the guys in the hangar. They could be able to help you.

you've fought before. Get over it.

No, you still love each other. Go talk to him.

But don't you still love him?

Well, then what's the problem?

She's coming.

Hey, hang on.

Having a second piece, Batty? Yep.

Oh, great. Want a piece of cake?

I've got a problem.

Here's to the body.

This guy.

Which brings me to my next point.

Was it there when you left?

Well, I don't know. It's not something I normally check up on.

Well, you'll have to go back. It's only an hour away.

Can you wait a couple of hours?

Yeah, sure.

I'll come with you, then. Sure.

No, no, no, no, no.

I'm sure what you meant to say was, Lauren, if there's nothing going on, can

go with Chris, please?

I did mean to say that.

And you meant to say, no problem, Jimbo. Not only am I an intelligent and

attractive boss, but I understand that you pilots have to get together

occasionally to form a camaraderie that is so necessary for this fleet -of -the

-pants existence.

Just bring me back, of course.

Oh, you convent girl.

So why'd you really want to come along?

I've got my reasons.

Oh, what's bigger?

Major Luke.

Ronnie, I told you before.

Dinner and a show.

Chicks go for that.

Chicks?

The fact that you used that term might have a lot to do with the fact that you

never get any, Scotty.

Thank you. What are you up to, Ronnie? A bit on the side.

It's our wedding anniversary.

I want to buy June something special.

Something romantic.

Are you sure you need to?

I mean, 35 years, mate. I'd say you've got to land it.

35 years?

Four.

I think your passengers are waiting.

We are already ten minutes behind schedule, so if you don't mind.

Okay, go then.

Pirates.

It looks like we've got a welcoming committee.

Hi.

We got a bit of a problem.

Yes, I know.

We're sorry.

But you see, Jeremy never liked to fly.

And we just couldn't do it to him.

So he's still here then?

Yes, dear.

He's in his room.

Well, we've got to take him back to Sydney and there's people waiting for

If it's any comfort.

It's usually a smooth flow.

He won't feel a thing.

Won't feel a thing.

Very sensitive.

I was just trying to lighten the moment.

Did you voice that?

Yep.

No one's ever glad to see me.

Occupational hazard for lawyers, I guess.

Do you want coffee?

Yes, sure.

Yes?

Could you get your uncle for these men, please?

You boys come in for tea.

Come on in.

Is that scones I smell?

Just out of the oven.

Jam and cream are okay for you, dear?

I love the country.

You'll have to excuse Piers. He's shy around strange men.

We suspect he's homosexual.

Mmm, lovely.

Thanks, dear.

So you two are sisters?

Well, who was married to... Jeremy.

He was such a beautiful man.

We met at a dance.

Our eyes locked with his and... Such eyes.

It was just like the movie.

Except there were two of us.

No one really understood.

So what's in Gore Creek?

Why do you want to know?

Just making conversation.

Are you the hostess or the pilot?

Not good news, is it?

Well, it's finished, if that's good news.

Your father's affairs are all tied up.

Now, please tell me you saved the house.

I tried, Lauren.

You told me that... I just said that I'd try.

There are just too many people who still owe money to you. That house was all I

had left that was his. There must be some way we can keep it. I'm sorry.

Damn.

The tenants are out today.

They've got a buyer. He wants an immediate settlement.

Already? I thought you said that it's the house... Lauren, I need you to sign

these.

That house is my family.

Tomorrow will do, but no later, eh?

You carry them back to me.

I'm really sorry, Lauren.

Can I talk to you about something?

I cannot wait.

That's kind of important. Please.

Fine.

Weird, but sweet.

No scones to die for.

Oh, sorry, Jeremy.

Do you want to hear something strange?

I've never seen a dead body.

Really? Well, you have.

Unfortunately.

See, I'm 31. I figure, you know, at my age, I should have. You know what I

Jimbo, it's not an experience I'd rush into.

Well, I thought... Seems as if we got one handy.

No. I mean, who's it going to hurt?

No one will know.

I thought you said you came for the camaraderie. Yeah, I did. I'm glad

here to share the experience.

Jimbo.

30 seconds. No one will know.

Chris? What?

Do you want to come back here for a minute?

No.

He's not in here.

Oh, yeah, I suppose this is another one of those seagull gags, is it? At fair

dinkum. Come and have a look.

where Chris and Jimbo are.

Tango Whiskey Sierra, this is Big Sky Base.

Chris, what's your ETA?

Lauren, we've got to go back again.

Jeremy missed the plane.

What? What are you two up to?

Back at the farmhouse in an hour, home and food.

Jimbo's mate will be here in about 20 minutes to collect for that autopsy.

Well, you'd better call him and tell him we're going to be delayed. That's the

best we can do.

I'm not so sure about this.

Big sky, babe.

Tango Whiskey Fiera.

You feel what's going on here, don't you?

Four odd things.

I really loved him.

Yeah.

Loved him to death, even.

They're ducking the autopsy. Jimbo, you heard them. They loved him. So?

Maybe it was a mercy killing. All I know is we're trying to get that body back

for an autopsy to establish cause of death.

And they don't want the body to arrive. Oh, get a grip.

I'm serious.

How do you explain it then? I don't. I go back and ask them what's up.

Poor old dears. They couldn't kill anyone.

You've never seen arse like an old laced, have you?

Where have you been?

You okay?

I was depressed about getting older.

They've lost the body again.

Honestly, those boys shouldn't be allowed out together.

They'll find it.

Hey, what's up?

We'll be back in a couple of hours.

be counting the minutes.

Think about it.

Farms are a cocktail bar of poisons.

It's got to be top of the list.

Oh, my God.

We ate the scones. Yeah, and we're fine.

Oh.

Actually, I do feel a bit off.

Probably because you ate about ten of them.

Anyway, it was elderberry wine.

What? In Arthenick and Old Lay.

They poisoned old men with elderberry wine.

We're not old. We ate scones, so we're fine.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe they didn't do it. Of course they didn't do it.

Maybe he did.

What are you going to say to him?

Nothing is going to upset him.

Chris, I'm just thinking logically. You're blinded by emotion.

Jimbo, it's grief.

You don't know how people are going to react.

Maybe they just don't want to let him go.

Hang on, hang on. It's slipping.

Oh, sorry.

We just found him in the bedroom.

Pierce mustn't have loaded him. He doesn't want his uncle to leave the

Is that so?

Jimbo. They were very close.

Well, except when they fought.

Which was most of the time.

Yes, yes. Let's just get him loaded this time, okay?

This is my first dead guy.

Yeah.

Grab his legs and lift him on the count of three.

So, where's that piece gone?

Very conveniently disappeared.

You heard.

He was very close to his uncle. Doesn't want him to go.

Maybe he's got a touch of the Norman Bates.

That's it.

It's psycho.

But there's a rocking chair in the cellar.

Really?

So what was his surname?

Oh, no.

Yeah, they.

It's against the rules for you to be up here. Of course it is, sweetie.

Do you know what these are?

Asteroids?

Sample opals.

I've got enough of these to dazzle any woman I want.

I can't tell you how pleased I am for you.

You know, I'd like to see you buck naked. I'm wearing only an opal at

Especially you.

Sorry for all the trouble.

Oh, well, it's hard to let go.

I'm sorry we met under these circumstances.

You've been very nice, thank you.

Pierce wasn't planning to take any overseas holidays, is he?

We'd better be going.

Goodbye.

I don't believe you.

You'll see.

Something's going on.

Well,

there's no current getting through.

I'm going to have to ring Ronnie.

Get him to bring us out a new magneto.

Your naivety is knocking.

You think this was a coincidence?

Well, it could have happened on the way up.

And if it did, we wouldn't know until we shut off and tried to start it again.

Maybe. I wonder where that Pierce guy was when we were loading the plane.

I think I should ask him a few questions.

No. Oh, don't worry. I'll be subtle.

Their husband just died. Remember that.

Well, if Pierce did it, I'm sure they'd want to know.

I wonder who inherits this place.

I want to ask you something, and I want to... Yes, dear?

Oh, I, um... Our plane's broken down.

Can we use the phone?

Just for a day.

Yep. Got your head on cold there for a sec.

Well, I don't discount remorse.

Maybe they know he did it, and they're just covering for him.

Chris, I've got work piling up for you two. What now?

Lauren, I've got an electrical fault out here. I need some help. I don't believe

this. I guess you've lost the body again, is that it?

Well, I know it sounds a bit weird.

Oh, so you believe me.

I just need somebody out here, Lauren.

Well, I can send Ronnie or one of the other engineers first thing in the

morning. That's the best I can do.

All right.

Tell Ronnie I think it's the magneto. He'll know what I'm talking about.

Okay.

Bye. Bye now.

Tomorrow? Yep.

Oh, dear.

You have to stay the night.

Magneto.

I doubt it.

Still tomorrow morning, if you could.

Well, Lauren.

Hmm?

What do you think about a weekend away in the country?

For June? Yeah.

Yeah, nice.

Lovely.

Good. So we'll keep looking.

Anna, just the thing to take your mind off it and refocus.

It gets smashed.

Yeah, why not?

Okay, have you got them all?

Yeah, it's really far.

Hey, hang on. Not now, sweetheart. I'm feeling too good.

You two aren't having any gravy then?

We don't like it.

Eat up.

Teddy!

Oh, hi. Do you want a drink?

Oh, I'd love to, but I've got a hot date arriving any minute.

Wouldn't you rather have a drink with us than have some man trying to take

advantage of you?

Have a good time.

Over here.

So, are you going to tell me what's wrong?

Mum and Dad are splitting up.

I can't believe it.

25 years.

I left home two years ago, but I feel like an eight -year -old kid.

Maybe it's just temporary. My parents were always fighting and getting back

together.

Yeah, well, I don't know what his mistress would think about that one.

Oh.

Mine's sort of been happening for years.

She just got sick of pretending.

Ultimatum time and Dad didn't choose her.

Didn't our eyes just lock and we have a moment at the bar before?

Okay.

You can fight it. I find that endearing.

But when it gets too strong, I'll be over here.

Okay. Keep that in mind.

Thank you. That was beautiful.

Something wrong with it.

No, no.

I think I just overdid it on the scones.

What's wrong with you?

I just don't want to take any risks.

You've got to be kidding. You think they're trying to poison it?

No, I don't think that at all.

Well, what?

Just drug us.

No, think about it. If they don't want an autopsy, they've got to get rid of

that body.

They've got to do it tonight.

They want us sleeping like...

for excavation.

There's a lot to do now with Jeremy gone.

Yeah, it must be hard.

I miss it.

You must like it out here.

You don't miss the bright lights?

No, I've done that.

I went into a lot of trouble before I came up here.

Jeremy and Meg and Lil have been real good to me.

Know anything about planes, Pierce?

I couldn't fix it if that's what you're asking.

You didn't touch ours, did you? You weren't... Checking it out, or is he?

No.

Hi.

Jimbo, know anything about planes, please?

Look, I didn't touch the bloody plane, okay?

I changed my mind.

I rang him and told him I'd rather have a drink with you guys.

No show.

See, all men are hopeless.

Lady, I thought the fairest thing would be to let you toss for me.

That's about all you'll be doing.

No, I'll just be at the bar.

What kind of guy would stand Lexi up, huh?

Probably forgot it was his wife's birthday.

What?

Married men have always got something to run off to.

I don't believe Alexi.

Where the hell do you get off interfering with family life like that?

Like what?

You said he was a married man.

Shay, he's married. I'm not.

I'm just having a drink with him. What's with you? Alexi, can you grab some

nuts?

I might just go.

Shay's parents are back today.

Yes, I just dropped out. I'm dating a married man thing.

And it's fair. Yeah, have fun with someone who's about your age.

I mean... Do you have any idea of the damage you're causing?

How many people you are actually hurting?

Maybe we should just drop this.

Oh, no, no, no. I just want to know. Do you have any morals at all, Lexi?

Shay, it's not me who's sleeping with your father.

Look, I'm really sorry about your parents, but it's not my fault your dad

control himself.

Lexi?

There's something the matter.

I'm worried, Lil.

Then don't be.

We've almost done it. That chap suspects something.

Not a problem.

By tomorrow morning, it doesn't matter what he suspects.

I just heard them talking.

They did that all right.

OK, fine.

So they did it.

inherit the place.

What for?

Not if they're going to be around for years to come.

So they can sell it.

The place is run down. They're not going to get much money for it.

Maybe Jeremy was a violent, abusive person.

Have you heard the way they talk about him?

Maybe it was like an emotional codependency, love -hate triangle, and

sick of sharing him.

After all those years.

Maybe it was peers.

They're covering for him. What would he do it?

Maybe he's crazy. I don't know. You think of an explanation.

Okay.

Jeremy was an illegal immigrant.

He owed a lot of money.

Could be in hiding. Could be anything.

I'll still say you're wrong.

Can I say you are the world's worst conspiracy theorist? I'm the world's bad

conspiracy theorist.

Okay, who killed Fowler?

The Americans poisoned him.

Les Darcy?

The Americans poisoned him too. Come on, you're going to have to do better than

that.

JFK.

Well, I'm a grassy gnollist there.

Though the CIA mafia might bother you. Shut up.

Look, they said by morning it won't matter.

Do you know what that means? They're going to get rid of it tonight.

I think a lack of food is very bad for you.

Yeah, I reckon I'm starving.

Whose fault's that?

Look, I'll be back in a minute, OK? Then we've got to go and check the plane for

the boat.

What are you doing out here?

Uh, hungry.

I'd never let anything happen to these dear old ladies.

Do you understand?

Yep. See, I'd protect them no matter what I took.

Right.

Loyalty is an admirable trait.

I think it's time you went to bed.

Yep.

Hmm.

I'm going to sleep now.

What now?

Aliens in the basement?

No, that Pierce guy.

He's in the house.

Yeah, it's got to be. I found it in the gate tin.

Well, they've got an airstrip. Could be an old one.

What do you want? A smoking gun?

That Pierce guy, he's out there. He threatened me.

Well, maybe because you accused him of murder.

Give us it. I'll go and talk to him about it. No, no, he knows they did it.

Chris, don't go out there.

Well, what are we going to do?

The locks will hold.

Oh, so you believe me.

You finally believe me. I'm going to bed.

What? Look, he can't get in and we can't get out. In the morning I'll... What?

I'll have a plan.

Well, what am I going to do? I can't go back to my room. Well, I hear

floorboards are very good for your back. Good night, Jimbo.

How can she do it?

It's got nothing to do with you or with your mum and dad.

What if it was just me they stayed together for?

It'd be a pretty good reason.

They couldn't be pretending all the time.

Some of it must have been real, mustn't it?

Of course.

You think your family are the one thing you're going to have forever and

sometimes you can't even hang on to that.

I thought.

Were you angry at your dad when you found out what he did?

Oh, it's hardly the same thing. I mean, it was about money.

The banks did it to him anyway.

Today I'm angry with him.

Today he let me down.

doing? Come on.

Ah, it's beautiful.

Listen.

When I was little, my father used to go away on business all the time and I used

to get really scared, which is ridiculous because he probably had a

team on standby.

So he brought me these chimes so I'd have something happy to listen to.

Messaging, as long as I could hear them, they'd always be safe.

Guys, I'm scared to believe any crap, won't they?

Yeah, won't they?

Sorry.

Sorry.

I thought we'd always have left at this point.

Nice day, isn't it?

Lily, I think you and I should have a bit of a chat.

Looking for something?

Oh, you've got your beads.

Good. I thought I'd lost it.

Hang on.

It's okay, Piers. It doesn't matter now.

Why don't you tell us what's going on?

He had the most beautiful eyes.

He used to joke about leaving them to someone when he died.

Well, we thought it was a joke. But then Dr. O 'Halloran said it was true.

Cornea transplants.

Well, he'd filled out the form.

You see, the eyes had to be there within ten hours or they'd be no good, so

we... That's why I had to forget you last night.

Sorry.

Me?

Scared.

We knew it was wrong, but we couldn't have them cut out his eyes.

It's why we fell in love.

Are we in trouble?

Aye.

Coffee? Yes.

Just remember they're ornamental. They won't protect you from anything.

Thank you.

You did check that he was still in there?

What?

I thought you did.

No love for honey?

No.

It's all so ordinary.

I can't find anything different.

What about this?

What is it?

An uncut opal.

It's beautiful.

How much do you want for it?

Just stop looking in catalogues and make sure my plant stays in the air.

How's that?

Am I glad to see you.

Done?

Done.

And?

Woo -hoo, it's gone.

I've got a knife.

Lauren, what red eyes you have. Was it a big knife?

Chris, men have made fools of themselves over these knives.

It's gone.

Hello, big guy.

Lexi. For you, some guy named Alex sounds apologetic.

So he should be. And so am I, you know, last night.

Me too.

Hello, groveling, are we?

I'm looking for Shailik William.

That's me.

Oh, thank God, I got the job wrong and so I'm a day late.

Here we go.
