[announcement] Attention passengers, the Tiwi Ferry is now ready for boarding.

Please have your tickets ready for collection. Thank you.

- Here's your memory foam pillow. - Thanks, Aunty.

Did you pack your snacks, your Switch?

Did you pack your pyjamas, your toothbrush?

- Did she grab her toothbrush? - ALL: Yeah, yeah.

I've got everything, Aunty. Chill.

OK. I'm sorry.

You're going to have the most wonderful Christmas with Dad, yeah?

Could you send my letter to Santa for me please?

Of course. Now the Tiwi Ferry staff are-

Are going to look after me the whole entire trip, I know.

Good girl.

Don't worry, we'll keep an eye on her. Are you ready?

- Bye, Bub. - Say hi to your dad for us, eh?

- Yeah, I will. - Yeah.

We'll miss you!

- I'll miss you too. - Love you, darling!

Love you!

- Have a lovely Christmas, darling. - Love you!

Love you too!

[Daffy] You'll have fun! Call us as soon as you get there.

[inhales, exhales deeply]

[? Ainslie Wills: "Two Strong Hearts"]

? Well, there's no need to analyse this kind of emotion ?

? 'Cause it comes naturally to me ?

? A simple case of feeling love and devotion ?

? So tell me tenderly ?

? I want to give my life to you ?

? I want to feel my blood run through you ?

? And, oh, I want to touch you ?

? Over and over and over again ?

- ? We've got two strong hearts... - [thunder rumbles]

? We stick together like the honey and the bee ?

? You and me ?

? We've got two strong hearts ?

? Reaching out forever like a river to the sea ?

? Running free ?

? Like a river to the sea ?

? Running free ?

Angel or star?

I'm more of a star man myself.

Do the honours?

Uh, carols have started.

This is a nice surprise. You're back.

Yeah, just dropping off Taya's gift for when she gets home.

- But you're- - Going to Adelaide, yeah.

Well, that's where my family are, so...

Figured I'd spend Christmas with my mum.

Anyway, I should get to the airport.

Don't make Christmas any worse than it is.

Me?

You sent Taya to an island with a man she hardly knows, for Christmas.

Bub's with family. Jarad's family.

There is absolutely nothing to worry about.

- [reporter speaks on TV] - [Daffy] Oi! Peacocks!

[on TV] Cyclone Nancy, originally thought to miss landfall,

is due to hit Darwin tonight.

Residents are being advised to take cover and prepare their homes

for what has been classed as a Category-2 storm

by the Bureau of Meteorology.

Stay tuned for updates as Cyclone Nancy...

[Trevor] Well, looks like you're not going anywhere, Ned'O.

[thunder rumbles]

Ned, if your plane isn't going, then neither is the ferry. Forget it.

Who sends their kids to a remote island during the wet season?

Um, pretty much anyone who lives on a remote island.

What's he doing to prepare? To protect Bub?

Has Jarad even responded yet?

No, but at this point, it's a Category 2. This isn't Twister.

There aren't going to be cows spinning past the bloody window.

- Batten down the hatches. - What are you doing?

Preparing for the twister.

- I'm trying the ferry again. - [Daffy] Stop it, Trevor.

Not helping, Dad!

[Daffy] Poor boy's nerves are shot to shit already.

[Daffy] You reckon the peacocks will sort themselves out?

- I don't know. - [door opens]

He's parked under that tree like a man who wants a quick getaway.

Here! Here she is. Good, old emergency kit.

Ah, nice one.

True as God, you mob would be shitting yourselves in the dark

if I wasn't prepared.

I'll be sure to find you when the apocalypse comes.

[laughs] You think I'd let you slow me down?

Me? Slow you down? I'll be the one who's carrying you.

Ugh. Lift with your legs, old man.

No, lift with your legs, young lady.

[both chuckle]

God, what you got in there? Dead body?

Be your dead body if you keep whinging.

[Trevor] Look out. Emergency kit coming through.

Been a while since my days in the S.E.S.

- Oh! Jeez... - [Ned] You alright?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here, go on.

Oh... What's this?

"Don't kiss your crush. Kiss their best friend first."

That is terrible advice.

I don't buy that crap. Look at your wife.

[Trevor] Ah, yeah, well, you won't be looking so smug

when a tree falls on my retirement plan, will you? Eh?

What, you've forgotten already? Me truck?

- Come on, let's go. - Oh.

Cyclone season, you don't park under trees.

[Daffy] Always going on about his truck.

What you got there, Daughty?

Oh...

My two girls. [chuckles]

Come on, then. We've got plenty to do.

[thunder rumbles]

[Trevor] Things any better with Daughty?

- Uh... - Have you trying apologising?

Apologise for what?

Oh, well, I don't know? Being a sook.

- Trev! - Come on. Jarad's her dad.

He gives Taya another link to Tiwi.

She's going to be plugged into culture in a way that Lauren never could be.

Lauren didn't keep it secret because of that. You know that.

Lauren didn't think things through. So what?

She never does.

But look what it's given Taya.

She on Tiwi now, with her Tiwi dad.

And what a... what a gift for a mum to give her daughter.

What a... What a Christmas present, eh?

Can't you see? This is Lauren becoming a mum.

Nice to have Ned'O back.

Ugh. All it took was a bloody cyclone.

[chuckles] Cyclone Lauren.

He bought a ticket to Adelaide, Mum.

He's gammin.

If he wanted to go back to his mummy, he would have done it already.

Yeah. We'll see.

I feel like I pushed him too far this time.

You've got a fella who isn't frightened of this place,

this family, this mess that we're in.

He just wants to know that you're shooting for the same target, that's all.

Now, you're a woman. Multitask.

Move that while you absorb my profound wisdom.

- Righto, Gandhi. - [Daffy laughs]

Lift with your legs.

[thunder rumbles]

Love what you've done with the truck.

Thank you.

- It's a lot of kitchen. - Yeah, that's the idea.

It's, uh... It's all kitchen.

- Now, we had a deal. - What do you mean?

I mean, a little less Maggie Beer, a little more Davy Crockett.

Who?

Are you sure you've got a timeline to convert my truck back into a camper?

Look, I don't know, Trev.

I'm a bit too worried about Bub to be thinking about work right now.

It'll happen when it happens, alright?

Hey, Ned, give us a hand?

- We'll talk about it later, OK? - Yeah, but...

No, but... Uh...

You right?

Yeah. You're Dad's just being a bit... I don't know.

Yeah, he gets a bit weird at Christmas.

Sorry, the cyclone shelter's a bit of a mess.

[thunder rumbles]

- I've got something I want to say. - I've got something I need to say.

You first.

No, no, I should totally hear you out first.

It's not addressed to me.

- I don't read other people's mail. - Just read it.

"Dear Santa...

If I've been good, please can I have my Uncle Ned home,

Animal Crossing,

and nail polish with sparkles.

If I've been naughty, Uncle Ned will be enough.

From Bub."

You were right.

I went looking for Bub's dad

because I thought it would get us out of responsibility,

so we could run back to Adelaide.

But when I found out he was a Tiwi man,

I knew that was more important than anything we wanted.

I know I should have told you.

But it was an opportunity to give Bub the childhood that Mum couldn't give me.

I can't tell you how many times I dreamt of being on Mum's country.

[Ned] I'm so sorry.

I thought that she just needed you and Daffy, but...

I don't know. I...

I know I've still got a lot to learn,

and I get that being on country is a gift for Taya.

I'm just getting my head around the way decisions are made in this family,

and Jarad makes me a bit jealous, or threatened, you know?

And he'll give her things that I never can.

You give her other things.

You make her laugh. You make her feel safe.

You make her feel seen.

I want us to be a part of the Tiwi community too, with Bub.

Yeah, me too.

Does that mean... we're shooting for the same target?

[thunder crashes loudly]

Can we text Jarad?

My head's going to be in a spin until I hear it from Bub.

On it.

The idea he's going to turn it back into a camper is a joke.

Have you seen it?

Where's the bed gonna go?

Yeah, yeah, but don't bring it up now. We only just got mulligah back.

[Ned] So you got a reply?

Jarad said she's safe. We're all good for now.

For now? For now? What's that mean?

- It means she's safe. - Yeah, but only for now.

Call him. Call him.

[radio crackles] [on radio] Mayday, mayday!

[indistinct] ...capsized by strong winds...

[on TV] Tiwi residents have been told

to bunker down and head to the nearest shelter.

Cyclone Nancy has been upgraded to a Category-4.

- [Trevor] Cat 4? That's a biggie. - They're only being speculative.

...urging boaters not to risk their lives or vessels

and avoid waterways.

- OK, we need to go on the ferry. - Didn't you hear the man?

Alright, well, let's... charter a plane or do something.

We need to help Bub.

Babe, this isn't Jarad's first cyclone.

- We have to trust him. - Trust him? After that text?

You're all hungry and it's making you a bit mad.

What are we doing here? Nothing.

We need to... We need to call someone, anybody.

- [shouting] - Daff, Daff!

What? We need a feed and I'm making stew.

Stew? You haven't made that since the ice age.

Yeah. Hence all the banging, Einstein.

Mum, how long has it been in that freezer?

Nearly had a heart attack.

[laughs] You? My ticker's a time bomb.

You know, my doctor told me

if I eat another cheese and bacon pie, I'll be toast.

[thunder rumbles]

- Oh, God! - Yeah. Phone's are dead.

[Ned] No power. Right. OK. Um...

I never imagined that I'd die in a cyclone. This is it.

- You're not going to die, babe. Breathe. - [exhales]

[Trevor] Well, you might die, but that's the fun part.

- [bang] - [both] Agh!

Right, nothing left to do but get hammered in the dark until the storm passes.

Old family tradition.

You don't have to get hammered.

Ah...

When in Darwin.

[Trevor chuckles]

Hey, we'll make a Darwin lad out of him yet.

Mm.

- Merry bloody Christmas. - Yeah.

[both] Up your bum.

[Trevor] Oh, nice. Is that French?

It is. It's French.

[Daffy] It's lovely.

[Trevor] Je t'adore, Daffy. [laughs]

[Daffy] Say that again.

- [Trevor] Je t'adore, Daffy.

[loud thunder]

Well, go on, then. Eat up.

Those leftovers aren't going to eat themselves.

They do look like they've taken on a life of their own.

Yeah. Bit like my truck.

Trevor, I told you not to bring this up.

No, no, no. Just saying.

We know what you're saying.

I don't know what he's going to say. Let the man talk.

Be careful what you wish for.

I'm just saying, where's me bloody 10%?

Any entrepreneur will tell you-

Sure as hell doesn't look like a camper now, does it?

Look, I'm there worrying about Bub. He's worried about his bloody truck!

I'm worried about our retirement plan!

- [sighs] - Dad, the deal was 10% of profit.

- He hasn't made any profit. - Ha! There you go. No profit.

So, sure as shit not going to turn it back into a camper, is he?

- You seen it out there? - [Daffy] Trev.

- You hustled us for that truck... - [Ned] I didn't hustle you.

- ...and you're not keeping your side of the bargain. - It takes a long time to make money.

[Daffy] Enough!

When I said I wanted to go travelling, I meant Paris.

Not to Tenant Creek in a rusty shitbox.

Who cares if he's ruined the camper?

After everything Ned'O has given to this family,

it's the least we can do for him.

Thank you, Daphne.

Don't call me Daphne, and eat your dinner. You're too skinny.

I'm sorry. I can't do it.

I swore the chef's oath never to eat salmonella.

You're right. He hustled us. I want that 10%.

[retching]

- Excuse me. - Lauren!

Blame my...

- Lauren. - [retching]

[sighs]

Well, Mrs Eiffel Tower, you want me to go out into the cyclone

- and get you some frog's legs? - Well, go on, then...

- bush tucker man. - Heh.

Oh, and for the record, wasn't Tenant Creek.

It was Kununurra.

- Oh, Kununurra! - Mm-hm.

The regional town of romance.

[loud thunder]

That came out of nowhere.

Well, I wouldn't say nowhere. It came out of the stew.

Ugh.

I was just trying to make Mum feel better.

[wind howling]

[faintly] Here.

[sighs]

You right?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's...

better out than in, isn't it?

Well, I just got everything out, so you might as well too.

What is it?

OK. I know we made a promise to each other

and I know I'm legally bound to that promise

because of our prenup, but...

I actually really...

I love being a dad.

I began to believe it was something I didn't want

because it was something you didn't want and then...

...Taya came into our lives and, uh...

[sighs] Yeah.

Maybe I haven't been completely honest with you either.

Maybe...

Maybe I want to be a father and maybe I always have.

That's a lot of maybes.

OK, not maybe. I do.

I do want to be a dad.

And not just Taya, you know?

You know I'm not there yet.

And I'm not putting that on you.

You can feel however you want to feel,

but I can't keep pretending that the feeling's mutual.

And I still want you more than I want kids.

But I do want kids, you know?

I love you so much that I'm not even going to kiss you

with my gross vomit breath.

That's the most romantic thing anyone's ever said to me.

[laughs] No, it's not.

But you do need to brush your teeth.

- [laughs] OK. - Seriously.

[? Miiesha: "Neon Moon"]

? Lonesome feeling comes to my door ?

? And the whole world turns...

[loud thunder]

? blue ?

? There's a rundown bar 'cross the railroad tracks ?

? Got a table for two way in the back ?

? Where I sit alone ?

? and think of losing you ?

? I spend most every night ?

? Beneath the light ?

? Of a neon moon ?

- ? Now, if you ? - ? Now, if you lose your one and only ?

? There's always room here for the lonely ?

? To watch your broken dreams ?

? Dance in and out of the beams ?

? Of a neon moon... [TV plays softly]

Hey.

Right, so Tiwi phones are still down,

but Leroy reckons the barge is taking over supplies.

- Supplies? - Bub?

The shops are flooded, Dad. They've got no food.

- We can feed people. - With what?

Your retirement plan.

[? King Stingray: "Lookin' Out"]

? Watching it all pass me by ?

? I am the rock against the tide ?

? It comes in and it goes out again ?

? What are you gonna do? ?

? Now we're looking out into the water ?

? Tell me all the things that are on your mind ?

? And I'll say, "Everything will be alright" ?

? We're looking out into the fire ?

? I'll tell you all the things that are on my mind ?

? And you will say, "Everything will be alright"...

- Lauren, wait, wait! - [Daffy] It's not safe!

[Trevor] Daughty! Daughty!

[Lauren] Bub! Jarad!

Taya wouldn't have left this just anywhere.

Something must have happened to her. Jarad's not there.

Mob would have gathered somewhere. We'll find them. Come on.

Let's go. Come on.

? Now we're looking out into the water ?

? Tell me all the things that are on your mind ?

? And I'll say, "Everything will be alright" ?

? Looking out into the fire ?

? I tell you all the things that are on my mind

? And you will say, "Everything will be alright"...

Bit different to when we were here last time, eh?

Yeah.

[indistinct chatter]

Awana.

Aminayi! I'm so glad you're safe and well.

Have you seen the Kiralima mob?

[in Tiwi] I don�t know where they are.

[in English] Oh!

[in Tiwi] Have a look inside.

[in English] In the church?

[in Tiwi] Yes.

- [in English] OK. - Thank you. Mana.

Thank you.

[faint chatter]

She's not here!

OK. Um...

She'll be OK. She has to be.

We'll do another drive-around. It's alright.

Oi! That's my sarong!

Are you OK? Are you hurt? Are you bleeding?

No, I'm not bleeding. It was a little bit scary, though.

But Dad kept telling us funny stories.

Well, you're much braver than me.

And, hey, have I got a story for you!

[gasps] That you made up with Uncle Ned?

Hey, come here.

- I missed you. - I missed you too.

Sissies, my other dad's here too.

- [girl] Hello. - Hey, other dad.

Awi! See, I told you she'd be fine.

- [Trevor] I knew she'd be fine. - [Daffy] Well, come on then.

Let's make this yinkiti before people get hangry. True God.

You bought the truck?

Kuwa. But I've got a problem.

[whispers] I need my sous chef.

- Yes, Chef! - Come on, then.

- Kali. - Thank you.

[Jarad] No, it's all good, mate.

You hungry, girls? Come on.

[indistinct chatter]

- [kid] Thank you. - [man] Don't drop it, eh?

[woman] Don't drop it.

There you go. You're welcome.

Remember, sharing! Sharing.

[indistinct chatter]

Uncle, can I come back to Darwin with you and Auntie?

I would love that.

It was fun sleeping over at Dad's,

but my sisters kept wanting to borrow my Switch

and they wouldn't let me play with their make-up, so...

Where's my Christmas present? Did you bring it? Where is it?

Oh, we might have something in the back of the house, but that depends.

Have you been good? Did you do the dishes?

Jaffles! Jaffles! Got more jaffles!

Aunty Lauren, we have more jaffles here.

Copy that, Sous Chef. Hey, Bub...

You think you could step up and run the truck on your own for a minute?

- I need to steal Uncle Ned. - Mmm...

Maningawu and Aminayi can help you.

Hm. Copy that.

Oh, thank you! Come with me.

- What's going on? - You'll find out.

Aww.

- See ya! - Thanks, Sous Chef.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa! - [Taya] Jaffles!

- No, no, no. There's... - [Taya] The last two!

We need more steak and onion, old man.

- Yeah, no worries, cheeky young lady. - [both chuckle]

Thank God this is all kitchen.

So, uh, you want to go to Europe, eh?

What, with you?

Well, let me check my schedule.

[chuckles] So, uh, where do you reckon you'd start?

Italy?

Let's start with steak and onions, yeah?

- Oh, you're always so bloody romantic. - [laughs]

- [Ned] What are we doing? - Getting some privacy.

[? ?]

I'm the luckiest.

No.

I am.

You don't have to make it a competition.

OK.

But...

I'm the winner.

[? ?]

[indistinct chatter]

Hey, Jarad. Did Taya speak to you about coming back to Darwin?

Yeah, man. It's all good with me.

I mean, she put on a brave face, but she was really missing you guys.

I'm looking forward to sharing dad duties with you, Jarad.

Yeah, I mean, God knows I've got enough on my plate as it is.

- [laughs] - Speaking of which, these aren't bad.

Oh, thank you.

I mean, they're not as good as mine. I put fresh turtle meat in mine, but...

Turtle? Ah, love to try that.

Listen, if you need any help with your house, I'm pretty handy.

I should be right. I built that house with my bare hands.

Built your own house?

- Wow. - Ah, hang on.

Here we go. I've got to go be referee. Can you take her?

Ah... Sure.

- There we go, there we go. - Hey, hey.

Yeah, Uncle Ned, Uncle Ned.

I, um...

I don't know who she is.

- Oh. OK. - [Jarad] Here, girls...

OK.

OK, little one.

Ah...

Hello, ladies. I've got yinkiti

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Thank you.

[women murmur]

Papurunganta.

[women speak Tiwi]

- What? - [women continue in Tiwi]

What's that mean?

You pregnant, la. A baby.

Oh, crap.

[? ?]
