- [woman] Last week's storm
has intensified at sea

and has been recategorised
as a Class 6 wind event.

Forecast modelling data tells us

it's due to make landfall
in the next 36 hours.

We also face a chance

that the deep low pressure cell
developing in the south

could move northward
and arrive at the same time.

- [Chesca] Cosmo.
- Today we are issuing a voluntary...

[Chesca] Come on, honey,
or everyone's gonna be late.

..recommendation for
a 2km coastal evacuation zone.

- [Archie ] Cosmo!
- [Chesca] Don't, Archie. Don't do that.

If you choose to ignore this warning,

you not only put yourself at risk,
but you put first responders at risk too.

Is Dad a first responder?

You let the spoilt piece of shit
get away with whatever...

[Chesca] Don't you swear.

They're still saying
"First respond, first responder".

- [Archie] Stuff this.
- [Chesca] Archie, don't do that!

It will not be like other storms.

This storm could be a monster.

[TV muted]

Volume.

- This is a time where we need to get
our priorities straight right now

because this storm
will deliver many things -

but second chances
will not be one of them.

[female voice] Hello, Eadie,
you have nine new messages.

You have 3,362 unread messages.

Read new messages.

Message one from Penny Rawson.
Subject - Happy birthday, babe.

Trash.

Message two from Suelyn Davis.

Subject - I wish I was there
to be with you on this...

Message three from St Lucien's
Department of Reproductive Medicine.

Attention Eadie Boulay.

Your pregnancy is unviable.

Please collect your last remaining
fertilised embryo within 24 hours.

Off.

Photo identification is required
for retrieval.

- For information relating to trans...
- Off! Turn it off!

- [Shay] So, we end up back at her place
and I would have to say,

I was surprised by
the very spirited nature of the encounter.

[heavy breathing]

[rap music plays in background]

Ow! You bit me.

-[Lloyd] Jesus.

- [Shay] But it turns out,
she's not into vampirism or cannibalism.

She's playing at black widow spiders -
homicidal post-coital behaviour.

-[Lloyd] [chuckles] OK.

- [Shay] Anyway, so I'm laying there
afterwards and I'm thinking,

what if we induce a micro deletion

of the HoxD gene clusters
of the female bugs,

which, radically ramped up,

not post-coital aggression,
but pre-coital aggression?

So the males become
not an after-sex cigarette -

they become a before-sex appetiser?

They're dead before they shoot.

In a generation, the females chomp
themselves out of sperm donors entirely.

[message tone]

- [Lloyd] That's... that is glorious.
That's glorious.

Come on, let's test it.

[tense music]

[poignant and percussive
orchestral theme plays]

[Shay] I'm not sure man...

It's not gonna hold.

Just say it.

- I might have screwed up the RNA...
- Don't treat me like a baby, Lloyd.

Just say it.

- It doesn't hold.
- [yells]

Good morning.

You got a sec?

Just want to flag a notification
you'll get this afternoon.

Shay, you've been picked
for national service duties.

There are some projects
that are deemed significant enough

to qualify for special exemptions

but they're all predicated on results.

It's two days a week
at one of the resettlement centres.

Only leaves three days for you
to devote to your research here, so...

The board has been alerted.

But there's a good chance they'll think
it makes your position here untenable.

I just wanted to let you know in person.

I bet you did, Herm.

Oh, and uh... you'll need to put some
thought into a replacement too... in time.

I really appreciate that, Herman,

but we'll find someone to swap out
Shay's national service days.

Just saying that I've got
some excellent candidates on my desk.

And, well, who knows?

Fresh perspective might be
just what you need to shake things up.

Just looking for the glass half full.

Let me know what you decide.

We'll find someone, hey?

Listen, I've...

Yeah, it's Eadie's birthday.
I've got to get home.

Why don't you come past in about an hour
and pick me up?

- We'll go do the collections, yeah?
- Sure.

- We're gonna fix this!
- Sure.

- [reporter] Coastal towns
bracing this morning

as two weather systems
look set to collide.

The Bureau of Meteorology has issued
Severe Weather Warnings for...

Uh... Hey, hey!
It's my two favourite humans.

OK, what do you want?

What do you mean, what do I want?
I just called in to say good morning.

OK, good.

Because for a minute there,
I thought you'd forgotten

that we were gonna pass on
the whole birthday celebration thing.

No, no, no, this is
a whole other celebration thing.

This is not about marking your birthday.

What are you doing?!

- This is neuro-psychologist slash...
- Lloyd.

Slash stepmother,
slash wife of the year day.

- Seriously, how much longer?
- Just moments. OK, moments.

- OK.
- M'lady.

- Lloyd...
- Stop it. This is not even about you.

This is about Ivy and I, and our chance
to contemplate our good fortune, OK?

So you're gonna drink your latte,
eat your brownie

and you're gonna open your present.

And just respect our process, OK?

Oh, my god.

[Ivy] What is it?

These are the astrocytes
in the hippocampus,

drawn by Santiago Ramon y Cajal

more than 100 years
before they had microscopes

to see the structure of the brain.

[Ivy] That's a dead person's brain?

- He won the Nobel Prize.
- Still gross.

Happy whatever-it-is day.

I can't believe you did this.

What did you do - cash in your super?

No, I was just...
I've been ferreting a little bit away.

What? [chuckles]

It's nothing.

Hey, what's... what's wrong?

Nothing.

It's not nothing.
It's definitely not nothing.

- What's...
- No, it's just um...

It's just...

You know, the money thing
seemed to be one of the things...

that was a sticking point
for any more IVF.

Paying that much money,
that's a thing.

That's not the thing.
That's not the thing.

The real cost was you.

Every failure we had,
a little bit of you... just disappeared.

So I was done paying...

to lose any more of you.

[knocking]
[Shay] Greetings.

I'm just gonna grab my stuff.

Yeah.

Happy birthday.

Yeah.

Um...

Thank you.

I haven't done anything yet.

No, I know, but...
thanks for thinking about it.

- For not thinking I'm crazy.
- I do think you're crazy.

I think you're gonna
screw up your marriage

and hurt the kindest human being
on Earth.

And I'm probably gonna do that
right along with you, so...

I'm sorry.

Yeah, it's all good.

It's all good.

[beep]

[Shay] Hi, Corrine. Great night.
Really great.

Shame we never got to that steak
but... hey.

Anyway, I was thinking of you because
I've won the national service lottery

and it's not fantastically great time
for me.

And you did mention you love
charity work, so, yeah, anyway,

if you feel like substituting for me
in the service of your nation,

that's something that calls you,
get back to me.

We'll find someone.

Well, that's easy for you to say
with your special exemption

from your high-powered brother-in-law.

Did you have to blow him for that?

Sadly, no.

But I do have to look after his sister,
which...

which, fortunately,
falls right into my game plan, so...

Does that include
successful impregnation

or does Dom keep his nose
out of the pants department?

No, Dom is involved in
all the departments, but she's, er...

Well, we're not...
We're stopping that train, so...

Really?

Just this whole post-38 landscape,
it's so grim.

That's even without
Eadie's immune system issues.

There was a moment there
she was talking about

some dodgy off-the-books outfit
who'd do it for less.

But, uh... it's just another
pack of vultures

taking advantage of desperate people.

I'm not sure we'd survive another round.

[train approaching]

- Dreams?
- No.

And I've been having versions
of the same one for years.

About the shooter?
What happens?

I'm just staring at his face.

And, in the dream, I think I suddenly
know why he doesn't shoot me.

First, I think he's keeping me alive
so he can send me back, like a message,

to show everyone that they can
get us anywhere, anytime.

And then, that changes into thinking he's
turning me into a walking suicide bomb.

Gonna slowly stagger my way to death.

Interesting bit of
magical thinking there.

Here's another version.

His little brother
was saved by an Australian soldier

who looked just like you.

Might be true. Might not be.

You'll never know.

All you can do is choose to let go...

of needing to know why.

You OK?

I've got the odd ghost too.

I know a good therapist.

Today's all about you.

Ready?

[helicopter rotors whirr]

[intercom] Incoming call.

Arlo, what's the damage? How bad is it?

210 calls this morning, but I flagged
the six that are our clients.

What about the Colo property?
It's been cut off since last week.

They're still waiting for someone
to get out to them.

Like I said,
I flagged the six that are ours.

[Dom] When was the last time
you went ten days without power?

[Arlo] We don't have time for freebies.

Look, don't...
[click]

I think a little detour might be in order,
don't you?

Yeah.

[helicopter rotors whirr]

[helicopter rotors whirr]

Ben, are you good?

[indistinct traffic]

[man] Look, look, look.

No, just...

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Hey! Hands on the wheel!

[gunshots]

[Ben exhales]

Talk to me.

I, uh...

It was like...

everything was happening.

It was all still... real but...

the... panic...

and the fear...

didn't come.

Good.

So, you need 24 hours in recovery.

Then I can sign you out of here
and you can go and get on with your life.

[chuckles] Thank you.

Thank you so much.

[helicopter rotors whirr]

[children shout]

[man] Kids, stay back!

Stay back!

[rotors slow]

You a private outfit?

Yes, sir, we are.

We can't pay you, mate,
so you might as well take back off

and find someone who can, ey?

It's gonna be another ten days 'til the
State Emergency Services can get to you.

Now, I don't need payment
but I wouldn't say no to a hand.

Yeah, sure. Come on, take it up, mate.

Have you got water here?

Oh, yeah, I've got a spring.
It's the only thing keeping us going.

It's the ninth time
I've been cut off in two years.

No way to get out of here.
No way for anyone to get in, either.

Unless you've got a private chopper.

- [both chuckle]
- There.

Thanks. You take 'em.

Yeah, I'm good.

That looks nasty.

Yeah. Yeah, the shed came down
when she was putting the goats in.

Have you got someone else here
who can look after the kids?

I could drop you two down at the hospital,
nip that infection in the bud.

- I'd be in your debt. Thanks.
- [ringing]

- Dom!
- Oh, hang on.

Thanks, mate.

Chesca, everything alright?

It's Cosmo. He's... He's...

He's calmer now but
he's locked himself in the bathroom.

- Where are the other kids?
- Archie took them down to school.

- OK, well, listen, I'm out west.
I'll, uh...

I'll head straight back. I'll give Eadie
a call, get her to come over.

Yeah? Just tell him Eadie's coming
and that I'll be there soon.

- OK.
- Yeah, we'll...

- We'll sort everything out, OK?
- Yeah.

[helicopter rotors whirr]

[thunder rumbles]

[TV plays in background]

[both pant]

Have I told you lately that I hate you?

Hi.

This is our sorry gift.

[Sang speaks Vietnamese]

How are you? How's the baby?

Good. Everything good now.
We had a visit from the...

[Tien speaks Vietnamese]

[Sang] Vax doctors.

[Tien speaks Vietnamese]

- [Lloyd] What did she say?
- That...

they had a visit from a doctor
who'll charge them for a Chagas vaccine.

There's no vaccine. Tell them.
There's no vaccine.

[Shay speaks Vietnamese]

[Tien speaks Vietnamese]

- 100 bucks a pop.
- Hun...

Oh... Those men... Those men,
they're... that's a scam.

That's a... That's a trick.

Do you know where we can find them?

- [Shay] No, we're not doing that.
- [Sang] They're still here.

- They're here?
- They're going from door to door.

- OK, OK.
[women speak Vietnamese]

I'm not going with you!

[women speak Vietnamese]

- Lloyd!
[Tien speaks Vietnamese]

- Lloyd!
[Tien speaks Vietnamese]

- [Lloyd] Go inside with your mum, OK.
- [Shay] Lloyd!

You guys are disgusting!
- [Shay] Oh, good.

-[Lloyd] You're disgusting.

- [Lloyd] You come in here
with your snake oil.

- [man] Piss off!
- [Lloyd] How do you live with yourself?!

They're innocent, sick people.
You want to prey on them?

They don't care, dude.

Hey...

Let this be a lesson to you, my friend.

Oi!

-[elevator PA] Level 16.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Oh, are you OK?

[Chesca] You and Dom are the only ones
who can get through to him.

[Eadie] Where is he - in here?

Hey, Cosmo, it's me, Eadie.

Can you hear me?

[Cosmo] Yes, I can hear you.

There's nothing wrong with my hearing.

Right you are.

How's it going in there?

[Cosmo] It's messy.

I've made a big mess.

Well, you know the best thing about mess
is that you can clean it up.

Hey, tell me, is it making you
feel better, in there?

[Cosmo] Yeah.

I'm having a shitty day.

I wonder if I could come in there too.

You could lock the door after me.

And I promise I won't make you come out.

[door latch clicks]

[sobs]

Hey.

Are you really having a bad day
or was the just a ruse to get in here?

I am really having a shitty day.

Did your in vitro fertilisation
fail again?

It did.

And it might be the last one.

Because of your advanced age?

Yes.

Because of my advanced age.

But...

my body has a bit of a kink.

It isn't good at holding on to the babies.

Have you considered that

that could be a good outcome
rather than a bad one?

Can't say that I have.

Because your chances of having
someone like me

is one in six.

Is that supposed to scare me?

It should.
Or at the very least, concern you.

I heard Mum talking about you
trying to have a baby.

And it scares her.

The only thing that scares your mum is
you sitting in here with all this glass.

- That's not true.
- Yes, true.

She tries to hide it but I can see.

What?

I can see the effort required

to pretend I'm anything other than
a massive, thankless task.

When she sees other mothers
smiling at their children,

I see how sad it makes her.

And at night, she, Tillie and Sage

complain about
how I get all the attention.

I just see her want to scream and say
it's only because I don't work properly.

And just once,

she wants me to look her in the eyes
like a normal kid would do.

Wow.

I don't want to assume that you don't
have your own career plans, but...

if you get stuck for ideas,

I think you could make a killing
on the speaking circuit.

TED spectrum.

I'm available to be your booking agent
for a modest fee.

But you probably can't do it from in here.

[muffled through door]
[Dom] What triggered it?

[Chesca] He was watching
the news conference about the storm

when it was time to go
and he just got in this mood.

[Dom] Why didn't you turn it off?
[knocking]

[Chesca] I tried.
He kept turning it back on again.

[Dom] Cos?

Hey, buddy.

I hear things got a bit bent out of shape.

I know they're saying scary stuff
on the news.

Are we in a coastal evacuation zone?

We're safe.

There's nothing to worry about.

The people who designed this building
made it so strong.

Strong enough to withstand storms
ten times bigger than this one.

I'd never let anything happen to you.

Or Mum.

Or any of us.

OK?

Hey, Cos, you want to come in to work
with me for a bit?

So, your first job, young man,

is to administer some serious
first-aid to these plants.

What purpose do they serve?

Um...

Well, on a practical level,
if they weren't fighting for life,

they'd be bringing clean air into
this otherwise very stuffy environment.

But I think they're also calming
for some of the patients.

Hey...

want to see inside your brain?

How would I do that?

What a beautiful brain you have.

All the better to comprehend you with,
my dear.

See, I don't get how you do that.

I watch a lot of game shows. I just
like to think what they might say next.

But news is the best.

Yeah?

Tell me something.

I've seen you watch stuff
and I know faces are hard for you.

But they don't seem to be hard on screen.

Not as hard.

But news is still the best.

You just have to listen to the words.

Doesn't matter if I know
what the face is saying.

Just listen to the words.

No guessing work involved.

See this part of your brain?

It goes into overdrive
when you ask it

to recognise what's happening
on someone's face.

It's a pretty intense feeling for you.

It's stressful. That's why you look away.

It's not 'cause I don't care.

Of course not.

But I might be able to make it
a bit less stressful.

So, these look a bit strange.

But I think you're gonna be impressed.

You get to choose which animal I am.

- Pig.
- Mmm, thanks.

So, I'm gonna make a face
and you need to pick which one it is, OK?

[gentle orchestral music]

Good job.

[gentle orchestral music continues]

You're a natural.

And the crowd goes wild.

[gentle orchestral music continues]

Last one.

You got this.

Perfect score.

[message alert bleeps]

Oh... your mum.

She forgot you have
a dentist appointment.

[Eadie] Hey.

[Chesca] Ah, doctors Boulay and Boulay.

Very important work this morning.
Sorry to see him go.

I want to cook dinner tonight.

At our house. For her birthday.

OK. Sure you can.

You can invite Lloyd and Ivy
if you'd like.

Well, I'll see how they behave.

If they act up this afternoon,
it'll just be me.

Top work today.

I can see you're sad
even though you're smiling.

[Chesca] Shall we hit the road?

Call you about tonight.

Ow, ow, ow!

- [woman] Stay still. Stay still.
- [Eadie] Hey, what happened?

He single-handedly tried to take down
an entire fake vaccination racket.

Really? Lloyd, you're such an idiot.

Of course I didn't.
I didn't even land a blow.

But he hammered them
with a piece of his mind.

[Eadie] Ow.

That's so beautifully tended to
by the gifted surgeon.

He'll be left with only
the tiniest of manly scars.

I can reschedule some stuff
and take you home.

No, no, no. I need to go to work.
There's something I want to do.

- Really?
- Yeah.

- I don't think that's a good idea.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm OK.

Really?

- Look, I...
- OK, well...

Cosmo's cooking dinner, so, if you're
up for it when the painkillers wear off,

- meet me at...
- [laughs] OK.

Are you sure you're gonna be OK?

- I'm OK. I'm OK.
- Hold it.

[Eadie] OK. You look great. [laughs]

[Lloyd] Thank you.

I've gotta pee.

[doctor] OK, up.

There's no progress.

The guy I thought could do it
hasn't answered my calls yet.

Well, do you know anyone else?

Because I'm going to do this
either way, Shay.

I'm actually trying to work

and find someone to take
my national service days

before they decide to fire me
at tomorrow's board meeting.

I've got some other stuff
to deal with too.

I'll take your days.

What are you talking about?

I'll take the national service days.
I'm happy to.

Lloyd will never forgive me for this.

If you want to take my days, take them.

[reporter] Evacuation order has moved
from voluntary to mandatory

in less than one hour.

Bureau of Meteorology predictions
make it very clear

this is the calm before the storm,

with the front still expected
to make landfall early...

[poignant orchestral music]

[poignant orchestral music]

[no audible dialogue]

[music becomes more tense]

[ominous orchestral/electronic music]

[Shay] Jerry, I've got a friend
who needs data diverted.

Is that still something you do?

I'll email you her details, yep?

[ominous orchestral/electronic music]

[Lloyd] So, I'm thinking about
Eadie's overactive immune system,

the way that it attacks the embryo cells.

And I'm thinking about
why the bugs don't catch Chagas,

even though they're carrying the disease.

Now, we know the bugs need a blood meal
every time they reproduce.

And we know that that also causes
an immune activation.

Enough immunity for them to be protected
from the disease in the first place.

The ecdysone released from the ovaries.

Yes, yes. But what if...

What if the blood contained
a different message?

What if instead of signalling
a spike in the immune system,

it just turned it off completely?

[bleeping]

[tense electronic music builds]

What I see... right here... right now

is the beginning of the end of
the species, Lloyd.

You did it, Lloyd.

You did it.

[gentle tinkling piano]

- [Shay] You did it,
you beautiful bastard.

- Mate...
- Mate!

[weeps joyfully]

Beautiful!

- [Lloyd grunts]
- I love you!

Come here!

[both laugh]

I think a little celebration's in order.

[shouts] Lloyd Green, ladies
and gentlemen, you remember that name!

Because he's a bloody genius.

- But it's not...
- You're gonna be a rockstar.

No, listen, we've been banging our heads
on this for, what? Ten years.

- Ten years.
- Ten years.

This is not me. This is us.

Oh, bunkum.

I'm a mere Sherpa
on your Everest conquest.

- Sherpas do all of the work.
- Exactly.

Oh! No, no, I've gotta go.
I've got to meet Eadie.

Lloyd, for once, she can wait.

Alright. Alright.

[splutters]

[laughs]

[buzzing]

- [woman] Eadie. Eadie Boulay?
- Yes.

Come this way.

[ominous atmospheric music]

[phone rings]

- Jerry.
- Hey, it's all good. Data's diverted.

- She's masked for 12 weeks.
- OK.

Cosmo's cooking dinner
for Eadie's birthday. You are invited.

Yeah, I think I'll give that a miss.

It's Eadie's birthday, mate.
She's gonna want you there. Let's go.

[lightning cracks, thunder rumbles]

[elevator PA] Level 16.

[upbeat music, chatter]

- [Dom] Cos, Cos, let's just have some...
just strawberries.

Surprise! Sorry about our late
and slightly intoxicated entrance.

Yes, my dear friend
just needed a few extra moments

to test whether he had, in fact,
saved the world from Chagas disease...

- What?
- No way.

He's being too modest.
It's a team effort. Team effort, OK?

- Are you serious?
- This is...

This day is one brick in a house
we've been building for ten years.

- [Eadie] Oh, my god!
- [Chesca] That's amazing!

- Yeah.
- Congrats.

[Shay] I was told there's food.
Is there food?

- [Archie] Dad, can we have real food?
- [Chesca] There's a lot of food.

-[Dom] Real food? What do you mean?

We've got marshmallows and we've got
strawberries. What's better than that?

[Lloyd] And instead of telling the bug
to create the super immune suit,

it tells it the opposite.

Within one generation, the Chagas
kills the kissing bug from the inside.

No more babies.
Everything is right with the world.

Wow. That's incredible.

That is a particularly gross story
to be telling at the dinner table.

You're talking about a vaccine, right?

Not... Well, a vaccine of sorts.

But the thing that this brilliant man
has worked out, the bonus is,

if they are going to bite us,

they take back with them
a time bomb from the blood.

Can we stop talking about blood?

[whispers] It's time
for a bit of screen time.

You'll need a vaccine-like
delivery system, though, won't you?

That's not really your realm.

We'll partner up with the immunology team.

- [Dom] How quickly do you think
you can get it up?

We're a long way from human testing.

We've got to do the second
generational testing first.

And look, it's a long-game solution
but this is a massive step forward.

[clattering]

Hey, I'll get it.

Baby, I'm sorry.
I didn't think about how that would sound.

At least all that pain didn't go to waste,
eh?

-[Chesca] Do you want some wine, Eadie?

- Oh, no. No, I'm good, thanks.
- Sure?

Yeah.

[Archie] Did you get
any birthday presents?

Uh, well, I...

I got... national service for my birthday.

[Lloyd] But we've got an exemption.

I know. Go figure.

- Don't worry, Eadie, I'll sort it out.
- No, it's fine.

[Lloyd] You and Shay in two days -
what are the chances?

No, I got someone to take
my national service days,

so it's just Eadie in the hot seat,
I'm happy to say.

- Who?
- Corrine.

- [Dom] Seriously, Eadie...
- [Eadie] No, really, it's fine.

- I'm actually kind of keen to do it.
- That's ridiculous.

- No, it's not.
- Yes, it is.

- Dom...
- No-one in their right mind...

Don't, Dom! Don't. Just leave it, OK?

Sorry.

Big few days.

- Can I have those marshmallows?
- [Chesca] Yes, you definitely can.

[lighting cracks aggressively]

- [Archie] Your turn, Shay.
- [Sage] Wait, no, it's my turn.

- [Lloyd] No, I think it's Sage's turn.
- [Archie] We're going this way.

- We are?
- Yes.

- Alright, it's OK.
- OK, OK.

- Shay's go.
- [Lloyd] Shay, have a go, buddy.

- [Chesca] You've had a go.
You need to swap...

Ead?
[thunderclap]

What's wrong?

[Chesca] I don't think
Shay knows the rules.

Um...

I made a very bad choice.

I had the last egg implanted
at an unregistered clinic.

Lloyd doesn't know.

Why haven't you told him?

I'm taking immune suppressants
for the first trimester.

Shay's redirecting my medical data
until we see if it takes or not.

I'm doing his national service days
as a kind of...

[Dom] Payment.

[sighs]

Penance.

-[Cosmo] Hey, Eadie...

I was wondering if we could
show them the glasses.

Yeah, of course you can.

Let's go.

[thunderclap]

[Eadie] Ready? OK? Alright?

- You got them? Comfortable?
- [Sage] He looks asleep to me.

- OK, right. We are ready.
- Now pronounce you

- king of Stone Hill.
- Uh, OK.

Miss Piggy for me again.

I don't think I need one for you anymore.

- Good for you.
[large thunderclap]

- [others] Whoa!
- Hey, hey. It's OK, Cos.

We might just have to
have a giant sleepover.

- [Dom] Looks like somebody already is.
- [Eadie chuckles]

- I just wanted to say some things.
- [Archie] Let me take a photo!

[Chesca] Archie, put that down, please.

Cosmo wants to say something.
Girls, listening.

Uh, this started off as being
a happy birthday speech for Aunty Eadie.

Happy birthday, Aunty Eadie.

But I also want to say some things
to other family members.

Archie, Sage, Tillie...

Dad and Mum...

I just want to say, um...

thank you for looking after me so much.

That's it. That's what I want to say.

I hope they're happy tears.

Yep, happy tears.

- [Archie] Is there cake?
- [Chesca] Yes, there's cake.

What kind of a birthday
would it be without cake?

[phone rings]
- You want some cake?

Israel?

-[Chesca] Thank you.

No, no. I'll come down. Yeah.

[lift bell dings]

Jad, how's your daughter?

She's gonna be fine.

- Great.
- Thank you.

We discussed your offer.

And if you can come up a little, then...

Look, I hear you. I really do.

But I actually sought
a couple of second opinions,

just to make sure that my numbers
weren't completely off

and I'm afraid the flood rating
keeps your value cap pretty tight.

OK. So your second opinions are telling
you my land's not worth a pinch of shit.

Yeah?

Why do you want it so much?

The offer's fixed.

If it works for you, take it.
If not, don't.

There's no... pressure.

[thunderclap]

Look, I'd ask if you wanted to stay
until the storm's passed,

but I'm sure you want to get
back to your family, so...

I'll be in touch, yeah?

This way, sir.

-[Dom] Evening, Carl.

-Dom. Bit rough out there tonight.

Yeah, I'm sure the worst of it
will be through in a few hours.

Yeah.

[lift bell dings]

I had an interesting conversation
this evening.

My brother-in-law has had a breakthrough
with the Chagas vaccine.

He had a courage bypass
at some point in his career.

He was talking about
some slow, softly, softly approach.

But in the right hands,
could be on the front line pretty fast.

Hmm.

Might be worth keeping an eye on.

[lift bell dings]

Absolutely.

[thunderclap]
