Expect the unexpected this year, birthday girl. Invest in a protective

and good legal advice. You need both. On the positive side, a chance encounter

will lead to a sizzling new room at the tall, dark stranger.

Sarah's like you, Jimbo.

Except I'm not dark and I'm not a stranger. Oh, well.

Anyway, the stars are coming.

Oh, you are dark. Well, you're darkish. I don't think you qualify.

You guys ready?

I'm starving.

We're just waiting for these guys.

Could they add it again?

Yeah.

Why don't they suddenly know each other?

Happy birthday again.

We should have had a cake.

Yeah, we should have. No, no way.

Well,

I'm really dorky.

Birthday persons, they're looking really embarrassed, and I say stuff like, oh,

you shouldn't have.

I wonder where that whole candle -blowing tradition came from.

Ah, that was good King Wenceslas, or one of those... No,

it was. It was one of those old kings. You know, it had something to do with

putting out the light from... Years gone by and looking ahead to the future. You

made that up. I didn't make it up. I read it in a book. Oh, you did not.

always got to have this.

Guys,

hello.

I've got to get going.

All right.

No, no, no, you guys, Jay.

Another half hour won't hurt.

See you later. You're coming with me.

I've got an ARC meeting tomorrow and we've still got those maintenance

to go through.

See ya. Don't worry guys, we'll fix up lunch on the way out. Good luck with

ARC thing.

I cannot figure that out.

Yeah, I wish they'd get over it.

Way over there.

What? Quick, wake up. What?

We're running late. We've got to get up.

I've got to go home and get changed. I can't wear the same clothes I had on

yesterday. They won't notice.

They will.

I've got a meeting with the auditor at nine.

And I've...

Why don't you send me photos of yourself?

Oh, sorry I'm late, everyone.

Sorry, sorry. How have you been? I've been calling your house for an hour. Oh,

sorry. What do you think?

I love it. Check it.

Thanks. Yeah, it's very nice.

Were you wearing that yesterday?

I stayed at a girlfriend's place, marriage problems.

Where's Mr. Williams?

Oh, he's gone. He waited 20 minutes and then had to go.

You caught in traffic too, huh?

Oh, absolutely.

City's in gridlock, I swear.

I only woke up ten minutes ago. I'm here already. How good was that traffic?

Oh, there was traffic.

Traffic was good today. There was not a car on the road. Oh, there was traffic.

There was pretty bad traffic today.

Yeah.

Where's Mr. Williams?

Gone. Oh, bummer. I'm sorry.

I don't want to start you off.

Shane, Paul, I noticed my clothes. I told you they would.

Do you think they suspect anything?

Yeah.

So, what are you doing tonight?

You.

No, this isn't an extra.

No, but it's not the full one.

They say you need a complete original document for a passport.

This is not it. I know that. This is it.

No, you see, I've seen my friend, and this one hasn't got as much information

it. Well, that can vary.

Well, why? Why is mine different?

Oh, there could be any number of reasons.

Such as?

Look, I'm not authorised to discuss it. You'll have to make an appointment with

one of the supervisors.

What?

Why?

It could be anything.

So this is Sarah. Was she born on the same day as you?

No, she was born about a year before, I think.

Well, there you go.

Government rules change.

Bureaucracy's stuff up all the time. I mean, it's still going to work to get to

Bali, isn't it?

Yeah, yeah, they said it was the right one.

Well, then, what's your problem? It'll be fine.

Got to move.

Hello, big guy.

Sure, I'll put you through.

Oh, then who's this girl, Scotty?

What girl?

All right, I've been logging on as you.

On my personal internet line?

How often?

Often.

I couldn't help it. You see, girls open up to other girls. They tell each other

stuff about themselves.

If she thought that I was a guy, then she wouldn't like me as much. So I send

photo of you to her and she sends a photo of her to me. You get it?

It's a lie.

Shay, there's no such thing as lies in love.

You're in love.

Ooh, I am now. God, you're a thief.

Shay, I'm a guy and it's working.

She wants to meet you tomorrow for lunch.

I am so not going to be there. Shay, please, listen.

All you have to do is talk to her, okay?

I'll tell you what to say, and then I happen to come walking by, you introduce

me as your friend, and what could be easier?

Getting a treat in the first place.

Shay, she loves me. Had a big day.

Yeah, but Scotty, you're a girl.

Yeah, but not for long.

See, it's a great trick.

Do you mind that you tricked her? It's going to be all over.

It's going to be too late.

You wish.

What?

My dad, he's had a heart attack.

I've got to go.

I'll be back later.

Dad.

Shay.

What have you done to yourself?

I don't know.

I had this really bad pain here last night before I went to bed.

It just got worse.

And then the pain went to my arm.

Donna had to call an ambulance.

Hi. I was wondering when we'd meet. I've heard so much about you.

Maybe I should go. I'll leave you two alone.

No, no, stay.

Please stay.

Donna.

Is that her name?

Don't tell me she was there.

Yeah, I met her.

What does she look like?

Oh, you know, she's... She's all right, nicer than I expected.

Did you speak to her? How old is she?

Mum,

do you really want to talk about this? You're just going to get angry and hurt.

Why shouldn't I?

26 years of marriage, eh? 26 years.

Damn it.

No idea how I feel about that woman.

Of course I do. How can I not?

I know.

Let's talk about Bali.

Lexi Chiani, you're an hour late.

Yeah, there was a lot of congestion back at the airport. I'm really sorry about

that. You will be if I miss my deadline.

I read your column every week. Good.

Yeah, I think it's great.

I heard about those guys that ambushed you on that TV chat show. What's their

story? They've been after me for years, that lot.

Notice how they're all men?

They're all going to die of cancer, the lot of them.

You're doing that to them? No, I mean they're so stressed out they're not in

touch with themselves.

I thought you meant you were going to put a hex on them.

I'd love to.

How long till we land?

We've got a huge hip and we're going to be a quarter of an hour late. I'm sorry.

I told you I can't be late.

Sorry.

Is he going to be all right? Well, he's not real good, apparently. Shea's really

upset. I think.

Let me know if she calls, OK? Yeah, sure.

Oh, do you want me to organise a temp? Um, no, no, we'll manage. Why don't we,

Scotty?

We'll manage.

Yeah.

Lauren, Grant Holdsworthy rang.

Um, earlier, he wants to organise a meeting.

Chairman of the Board of the Perth Contemporary Art Gallery.

You keep up with the art world, of course. I wonder what he wants.

I've heard a lot about you over the years. I've been hearing a lot of good

things about you.

Thanks for coming. It's good of you to make yourself available at such short

notice. I have to excuse the office. They lend it to me when I'm in town, but

get the feeling it's usually a storage cupboard.

Not a problem.

Please, have a seat. Make yourself comfortable.

Now, can I get you some coffee, tea?

No, no, I'm right, thanks.

I'm awfully curious.

Yes, I'm sure you are.

Now, you may know that I'm the...

Chairman of the board of the Perth Contemporary.

We have just lost our curator.

He's been headhunted by the Peggy Guggenheim in Venice.

Lucky him.

Indeed. But a huge loss for us.

So I'm left with the unenviable task of finding his replacement.

Now, we have to advertise in the national press and a few countries

but I want to make sure that the right people know about it.

So, do you think he'd be interested in applying for the job?

Damn, Peter, it's not my fault. It's the least you can do.

No, I cannot give you coffee over the phone. I'm not a fourth driver.

I'll be there in 20 minutes. That's Dawn DeSilva.

Who's Dawn DeSilva?

She's a spiritualist in Look magazine. She's the one who predicted Kurt Cobain

to die. She's amazing.

How did she do that?

Well, how would I know? She's just got all these powers.

I've missed my deadline because of you.

Damn this place.

Why I hired you lot in the first place, I will never know.

Damn this plane.

What did she just say about the plane?

She just cursed the bloody aircraft.

She didn't. Did she?

What?

Yeah, if Dad's got an extra backpack, she's going to borrow it from her

Well, shouldn't you take a suitcase?

I don't think a backpack looks very appropriate.

Mum.

Oh, hi. I, um, had a look at my birth certificate today. I've never seen it

before. Oh.

But Sarah's is actually different.

It hasn't got all that, you know, information on it. Do you remember why I

haven't got all the witnesses and stuff on it?

That's over 20 years ago, darling.

Oh, I don't know.

I suppose they did things differently then.

You know, the guy, he said that he wasn't authorized to discuss it with me.

A policy thing, I imagine.

So, what about after CUDA? Where do you go then?

I'm not really quite sure yet.

Welcome to Big Sky. We'll have you in the air in just a few minutes.

A flat battery.

Not possible.

It is if you leave the master switch on.

I switched it off.

Sure? Of course I'm sure.

But can you say categorically that you did?

Well, no.

Why would I? It's part of down -flight checks. I always switch it off. Well,

maybe you're worried about that disabled woman. You know, you were chasing her.

She could.

That's what it is.

What the hell are you talking about?

Well, she's a witch. A mystic. Mystic witch. She serves the Dark Master. I

her. She said, I cursed this plane in the name of Beelzebub and all the dark

forces of Satan. I am telling you... Well, maybe not the Beelzebub. Tell it.

Yeah, she cursed it, though. She did. We heard it. I'll tell you what.

I've got an anti -curse device out there called a power generator.

I hook it up to the battery and shazam! How's that?

It'll never work.

She cursed it!

The entree.

Oh, we might have to re -chill this.

So how'd the meeting go with the chairman of the board?

Good, good.

Okay, I'll have another crack at that.

How'd the meeting go with the chairman of the board?

It all looks very snazzy.

A butter knife? What's going on?

Come on, tell.

I just wanted to talk to you about stuff.

So the chairman of the board of the Perth Contemporary flies all

the way here just to have a chat?

Yeah, I'll buy that.

We'll talk about it later.

I'll have to think about it.

It's nothing important. He just wanted my opinion on a bequest.

I can read.

When do you think it's off in, say, three years' time?

I don't know.

Well?

Well, if you wanted to pin me down,

I'd still be chief pilot of the Big Sky, but the difference would be I'd

have Learjets and Grumman, 50 people on staff.

I wish.

What about personally?

Personally?

What would you like to happen?

Well, I'd like to be happy.

I think I'm falling in love with you.

That's a big thing to say.

You know.

You've only been seeing each other a few weeks.

Hey, it's all right.

Can I say that?

Well, you can't unfight.

No, I can't.

Go back to sleep.

What time is it?

It's early. Go to sleep.

All right.

I'm sorry.

It's not your fault.

It just blew me away out.

I wasn't expecting it.

It's all right.

I just needed to know how you felt.

Why? What's happening?

It doesn't matter.

What's the hurry? Can't we just take our time? We're not going anywhere.

I really like you.

See how it works out.

I'm going to be late.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad, what's wrong?

Lucy.

I thought you were my daughter.

There's something wrong. He's acting really confused.

He's been very agitated.

We've given him something to calm him down.

Yeah, but he doesn't even know my name.

It is better for him to take it easy now. He's going into surgery tomorrow

morning.

Is this going to be okay?

Apart from being a bit upset, he's doing fine.

Thanks.

Did you hear that, Dad? You're doing really well.

Should I?

I thought you were his sister.

No, Dad, it's me.

Not Lucy?

No.

I couldn't have loved you more, Shay.

You're just as much my daughter as Lucy is.

Why not?

Well, you can sell Big Sky, I'm not saying that, but if you sell now...

Taking into account sales of assets, planes, office furniture, the lease,

everything.

It'd leave you with a personal debt of nearly half a million.

I thought it'd be less than that.

No.

Well, that wouldn't be a deal -breaker. A decent buyer could carry that.

I mean, the numbers have been getting better for six months.

Sorry, Lauren, the bank wouldn't wear it.

You're built into the deal. If you go, you'd have to clear that.

You could declare yourself bankrupt.

Lauren, maybe I shouldn't ask, but do you really want to take this job?

I thought things were going well for you.

I thought they were too.

Look, I'll keep digging to see if I can come up with something.

But if you take this job, you kill Big Sky.

There's no way around that.

Thanks so much. I'll be in touch.

Zaya has a guy with the internet, babe.

She's mad for me.

Scotty, it's just a girl being friendly with a girl. She's not mad for anyone.

You should read the stuff she writes.

I'll read it.

You read my personal mail? Well, it's on Shay's computer.

Well, what do you think? Am I in or what?

You're not anywhere.

It's just how girls talk to each other.

Really? Yeah, really.

What do you think she's going to do when she finds out you're a man?

Jump me, hopefully.

I feel sick too.

What are you staring at?

I'll tell you what is it.

I'm adopted, aren't I?

Don't be silly.

Mum.

It's not because of the discrepancies on your birth certificate, Charlie.

No, Dad said... He said that he loved me as much as his own daughter.

It's chosen.

So where is everyone?

This is the right strip, isn't it?

Yeah, positive.

I think.

Oh, great.

Don't worry, Jamie.

You'll feel better soon, OK?

Big breaths.

OK. You guys take this, clean yourselves up a bit. I'll be back in a sec.

I don't understand what happened. It must have been the ADF.

Well, you miscalculated, didn't you?

No, I must have been.

Don't blame the navigational equipment.

It must have been.

Come on, kids.

Back on the plane.

What if we differed? What if...

As curator, I disagreed with the board's decision.

Well, let me turn that around.

If in a major decision on an acquisition you found yourself in strong

disagreement with the board, what would your next step be?

I'd have a bit of a chat to individual members about it.

Why?

Well, in my experience, boards are never 100 % in accord, especially in this

business. I might be able to... Open up a second front?

Yeah.

Yeah, you never know.

Lauren, I really would like you as a serious contender in this, but I may

be able to help a bit.

Now, I have to get out to Barrow this afternoon to look at a bequest. I'll be

back mid -afternoon tomorrow.

Can you let me know then?

OK.

Good.

Now, I'm sorry to rush you, but I have to pick up the hire car.

I must say I'm not looking forward to the drive.

Well, let me fly you.

I couldn't possibly impose.

No, no, no, it'd be a pleasure. I'm not the kind of running a charter company. I

can't fly people around when I want to.

Well, thanks. Thanks very much.

How can I go?

You're not going anywhere until you help clean up. You don't understand.

Alison's waiting. This is it. You've got us lost. You can help clean.

I'm not going to go and meet the woman of my dreams, feeling like I just spewed

all over myself.

It's too late. You already do.

It's shocking, isn't it?

What's the story with the ADF?

It's working fine.

Must have been some sunspot activity or something. It's okay now.

It's the curse.

Are you all right?

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

Fuck it, that's fine.

Oh, I'm... Some guy from the ARC called, looking for you.

Who? Some guy.

Damn, this will take hours.

Look, have him in the way. I can always... No, it's fine. It just means I

be able to take you.

Jimbo, this is Grant Horsworthy. Jimbo James.

Hi. How do you do? Can you find someone to take Grant to Barrow?

Yeah, sure, OK.

Sure.

You were one of the other pilots flying, but not Chris.

Why not Chris?

Jimbo, please.

OK, sure.

Jimbo, I'll find you a pilot and I'll see you tomorrow.

Oh, good.

Thanks for this, Lauren.

No worries.

Oh, hey, I'd give that guy a call. He was like, you know... Okay.

I'll be with you in just a minute.

G'day, Scotty.

Usual? Yeah, thanks.

You haven't seen a gorgeous woman, have you?

Five, six, blonde?

No, mate, can't say I have.

Believe me, I would have.

I should run a lap.

Scotty, please.

He's a personal friend of Lauren's and he's really got to get to Barrow. I

do it. I'm busy. I mean, I know that you're not scheduled for another run

Oh, sorry.

Not you.

Why not? I'm free. I'll fly.

Oh, boss's orders.

Is that right?

Yeah, yeah. Sorry, I can't let you.

Oh, you can't let me?

Well, I officially outrank you.

I'll fly.

All right. It's none of my business, but if you do fly, don't take Echo Whiskey

Victor because it's... cursed.

Yeah, very late.

Probably caught up shopping or something.

Alan Campbell.

He's got a gift.

Was this your first date?

Shows, does it? Yeah.

Kind of a blind date.

Yeah, me too.

Yeah, we met on the net.

Really? Yeah.

It's a great way to meet women.

See, you pretend to be a woman.

See, those chicks open up to other chicks. They tell you stuff.

Oh, you're joking.

Oh, no.

Shade, right?

Yeah.

You're not as attractive as your photo.

Neither are you, mate.

That artistic bone Lauren's been talking about.

I don't have an artistic bone in my body.

It's not a prerequisite to head up the board of a gallery.

All right.

Curating's another thing, though.

I'm sure Lauren will be excellent at it, providing she accepts, of course.

Oh, absolutely, yeah.

Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah, she was very excited after the meeting.

It'll be a challenge for anyone.

How long would that be?

A year or two, I suppose.

Three years in Perth, and who knows where after that.

Who knows?

How's your dad?

I'm just glad that I'm adopted.

They lied to me all my life.

I, uh, I'm sure they had good reasons.

I always felt a bit weird anyway, my friend.

What will your family say? There's no doubt they love you very much.

You know, how can they love me like all

the rest of their children?

My real mother obviously didn't love me.

Of course she loved you. Don't say that.

You don't know those circumstances.

I'm glad you guys are around.

This is Echo Whiskey Victor.

Yeah, Chris, what is it?

Rowley, what do you guys do all day?

My port engine's just packed it in.

Impossible. I signed it off for sale.

What do you think I'm making it up?

I'm getting jacked, this.

That bloody plane.

Okay, get back here. I'll do a complete overhaul again.

Big Sky Base.

Echo whiskey came apart in the sky.

Lost an engine.

I believe it.

That man is lucky to be alive.

You say the word curse and I'll shove you right through that wall.

You should have told me.

I didn't want to cloud the issue.

What issue?

You're gonna leave me.

So you get to find out like this.

And so am I.

All the times you called me your little girl.

You were. You are.

No.

No.

I don't know who I am anymore.

You are our daughter.

No, I am somebody else's daughter.

You are our daughter, Shay. You've been ours since you were three days old.

We love you.

We're your parents.

Isn't that all you need to know?

No.

Oh, Shay, please don't abandon us.

Guys, I've got to find out where I come from.

I know we did the wrong thing, but please don't punish us like this.

It is not about punishment.

It is about finding out...

You're the same person you were yesterday, aren't you?

Fuel on.

Check.

Engine's primed.

Check.

Rabbit's foot.

Check. Garlic.

Check. They're what?

They wanted to break this curse.

No curse.

Hey, look, you know that and I know that, but... But after several million

drinks last night, it seemed like a good idea. This is just ridiculous.

Yeah, I know.

Look, get what's -her -name on the phone.

Dawn Silver.

Yeah, get her to say some mumbo jumbo or something, or those two will just spin

this out forever.

Victor, this is Big Sky Base.

Here, whiskey, Victor.

You guys okay up there?

Yeah, that's right.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, so far so good.

We'll keep our fingers crossed for you. Big Sky Base.

Here, whiskey.

Hi.

Hi.

You look... Tired.

Why'd you leave?

I had to think.

We had it all sorted out.

Chris, you were right. It is too soon to make a commitment. It wasn't fair of me

to ask.

Well, I gave you an honest answer.

Yeah, the first time.

I'm taking the job.

Perpetuum 1 -2 -5.

Here you go, Whiskey Victor.

Okay. Piece of piss.

Landis, baby.

Let's do it.

Another win for the good guys.

Oh, no.

What?

Oh, no.

What? Oh, no. What?

The landing gear went locked down.

Hi. Thank you so much for coming.

Got a check.

It was fine, you know, it was fine.

You're kidding.

We'll pay you going right.

Girls, I'm sorry to say this, but there's no such thing as a curse. It's

medieval nonsense.

But you damned the plane.

I just swore I was furious at missing my deadline. You blame me?

Look, we've just got some guys in there, well, you know.

No, I don't.

They're superstitious. Pilots are superstitious, like racing car drivers

cricketers. I don't believe this.

I am trying, I have been trying for years to bring something meaningful and

worthy to New Age consciousness.

But no, here I am in this place lifting a curse. If you don't mind.

So you're just going to walk away from all of this?

Do you think leaving all of this is taking the easy option?

What about what you said to me?

What if it doesn't work out? What if it does?

There I know, Karen. I'm taking the job. I'm going back to what I know I

can do.

Lauren.

I'm never flying into the gate.

Yeah? Well, you might not have to. You might be dead.

Don't touch it. You might bust it. I've got a better idea. Don't touch the

garlic or something.

The garlic? What am I going to do with that?

Well, I want it. I want you to bring it for me. It was your idea.

Well, so you brought all this stuff.

I'm going to pump it manually. Just get it up to a thousand.

Your receipt.

All right, ready?

A little bit stupid.

By the powers of light and darkness, I lift the curse on... Echo Whiskey

Echo Whiskey Victor.

Happy?

Is that it?

What more do you want?

You could have, you know, put a bit more into it.

More what? That's how you lift curses.

This?

What was I thinking? I should have known better.

They're just engaged, Jimbo.

They're just engaged.

I'm okay.

Peace and peace.
