We did a full cavity search. Turns out he had vanilla essence

on his fingers from a cake he was making his girlfriend.

Doug thought the smell was cocaine.

I thought a dog's sense of smell

was meant to be 10,000 times better than ours.

I don't, um...

I don't know if I want to keep, like,

you know, assuming the worst in people.

Well, in Vigo Larsson's case, I'd say it was justified.

Who's that?

Nobody.

I've stored some mice for Roger in the fridge.

And, um, if you don't like the job, maybe...maybe don't do it.

Yeah, it's not that easy for everyone.

All the same.

Yep. Yeah. On my way.

So planes go here to all over the world?

Yep.

- Can I sit at the window? - Yeah.

I want to see the houses getting teeny tiny.

Do planes go to the North Pole?

- Here you go. - Thank you.

Do they have movies in the back of the seat?

- Can you push your trays in? - Yes. Step up to any empty spot.

Sorry. You need to take your belt off.

Keep it moving along, please.

- Yeah. Can you put it in more? - Okay. Take your glasses off,

please.

One oat latte and one triple shot espresso, please.

Whoa! Triple?

I'm not sleeping very well.

- Cappuccino for Alex! - Okay, spill.

Anthony's trying to get us to move back to Hong Kong.

- Lionel's just settled in here. - All right,

I'm just gonna straight up ask. Why did you take a job

that's 7,000 million kilometres away from your husband?

It's a good career opportunity.

You know, my mum lives here now.

Yeah. Not about that, though, is it?

No. Probably not.

So...?

Some stuff happened at his company.

He didn't do anything, but, uh,

he oversaw the culture.

You know, people got hurt, and...

It's always easier to just leave.

It's not that simple.

All right, listen. The girls

and I are going to the Palazzo Friday.

You should come. We'll workshop your marriage.

Coffee for Mira.

It's cheaper than therapy, babe.

- What's the Palazzo? - What's the Palazzo?

Ghoul Slayer. Rapid Falls.

- Oh. What about dodgem cars? - Nah, they're for babies.

I don't wanna go on the Ghoul Slayer.

- Big drop. That'll be fun. - I'm allowed to go on that?

Yeah, you'll be fine. You have to eat that.

..Flight 827 to the Gold Coast.

Could priority guests and those needing assistance

please come forward for boarding.

Hello, I'm Cath. From Austra Air.

Can I have a look at your boarding passes?

Oh, fantastic. Thank you.

And are you travelling with your mum or dad?

Mum's in the bathroom.

- Is she? - Yep.

Okay, um, I'll just be back with these in a tick.

Okay, so it's Ada and Elijah Miller.

Their tickets were booked on their dad's credit card,

and their mum, uh, has been in the toilet for 20 minutes.

So I tried the phone number on the booking, and it's fake.

- Divide and conquer. - Yeah.

My parents are in a hotel on the Gold Coast.

Nice.

And they're going to be picking you up from Gold Coast Airport.

Yeah, they had to go up early because there were plumbing issues.

- Plumbing problems? - Yeah.

Oh? That's not very nice for the guests.

What's the name of the hotel?

- It's the Golden Serpent. - Golden Serpent?

Wow. Very oriental.

Do your mum and dad know that you're here?

Ada, do you want your mum and dad to come and pick you up?

I don't want to eat some water.

How come they don't know their parents numbers?

When I was a kid, that was the first thing you memorised.

- It's not the '60s. - Okay, more's the pity.

I'm just going to borrow this for a second.

- My mum used to do this... - Well done.

..to my backpack.

Now I have to do it in hers.

Hi, this is Grace. If you leave me a message,

I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Oh. Hello, Grace.

It's Cath Barnes from Victoria Airport.

We have your children here, Elijah and Ada.

If you could call me back as soon as you get this message.

Thank you. Bye.

Hmm. Okay, so we have to let AAP know.

They can keep trying Grace, and then they can track down the dad.

- But they'll get child protection... - Don't call the police.

It's okay, mate. Really. It's all right.

It's all right. It's okay. Ada, you'll be fine.

You'll both be fine. We'll sort this out.

Maybe we should give the mum a bit more time to call back.

Well, we have to let the police know regardless.

Yeah.

Oh. OK.

Go on. You go.

They can wait in my office.

I'm sure the mum will call soon.

- Will our tickets get refunded? - Well, that depends.

On what?

On whether your dad read the fine print when he booked them.

Unless, of course, your dad didn't book them.

Do you want to tell me what's really going on?

No.

Why did she call the police?

I'm not sure, mate. It's okay. You're all right.

I'm here. Yeah?

Nothing bad's gonna happen.

- Let's go get some lunch. - I don't want lunch.

I wanna go home.

Shall we try your mum again?

- It's all right. It's all right. - Hi, this is Grace.

I can't get to the phone right now.

I don't like the airport anymore.

I want to go home.

- Oh, spotted. Yellow car. - Hey, that was orange.

Oh, it was yellowish. Let's give it to her.

All right. Let's add bicycles and llamas.

Spotted - llama and bicycle.

All right, I'm adding a yellow tree.

With bananas on it and yellow monkey.

Yeah!

- I'm just kidding. - Cath?

Oh, where are you?

I thought Mira would get the police involved.

Yeah, which is what we're obliged to do.

- Just where are the kids? - Kids are with me.

They wanted to go home, and, um, they knew their address, so...

- Um, are you driving the kids home? - Yep.

- You can't do that. - Well, Ada was quite upset there.

So...

The parents are separated,

and I have got the mother here at the airport now,

- and she is not happy. - Well,

the dad's place is in Altona, so that's where we're going.

No, Tobias, I told you, we have to call the authorities.

So just bring them back.

Look, it's quicker to get them home now, Cath.

I'll call as soon as we get there. Right?

Just keep Mira out of it.

So you called the police without talking to me first?

We're here to give kids a second chance, not bundle them up to juvie.

You're such a hypocrite.

If it was anyone else, you wouldn't hesitate.

But it's Dan. It's Dan. Dan is taking drugs.

He's selling drugs.

Our home is not safe for the other kids.

For me, for Steph. But you are blinded to it.

I thought you would have a bit more empathy.

Fine. Turn your back on us.

Hey, um, my sister's pretty hungry.

Do you think maybe we could stop off for some food?

I think my school friend lived there.

Wait, wait. No.

- Okay. What can I get you? - Uh...

- A sausage roll with tomato sauce. - Okay.

Um, a strawberry doughnut with sprinkles, please.

- Oh, and, uh, chocolate milk. - Chocolate milk. Okay.

With sauce on it. Doughnut and sprinkles...

It's just a misunderstanding, Mrs Miller.

I'm just... I'm just calling the chaplain now.

How could you even let my children leave the airport?

Give me your phone.

My phone?

Okay. Here you are.

- 18.30, please, mate. - Cath.

Chaplain Wallace, where are you?

Mira?

- Uh. Everything's fine. - Look. It's fine.

Are you out of your mind?

I've got a desperate mother here who needs to speak to her kids now.

Of course. Yeah, I'll put them on.

What were you thinking?

Hello?

Are you there?

What is going on?

Bring the kids back.

Elijah!

Ada!

- He's on his way back. - You said I could talk to them.

Sorry. There was reception trouble. But let's try again in a minute.

No, no, this is not good enough.

I promise you, Grace, your children are in very good care.

Chaplain Wallace is a responsible airport employee

with all the required checks.

My children are in a car with a strange man

and you can't contact him.

Pick up, pick up, pick up! Where's my stash?

Where's my stash? Lis!

How fucking dare you?!

- Mum, I'm scared. - Get in the car.

It's okay.

Seatbelt on.

I will fuck you up for this!

Lis!

Elijah!

Ada!

Dear Lord, please show me which path to take.

Please guide me. I don't know what to do.

Dan needs my help. I have to protect my family.

Show me. Show me what to do.

Elijah!

Ada!

So you made it to the beach after all.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Your mum thought you were with your dad,

and your dad thought you were with your mum, right?

- That's not a bad plan. - Yeah.

Until you messed it up.

Well, I mean, to be honest, it wasn't exactly foolproof.

Then when was your dad going to check his credit card statement?

Where were you going to stay on the Gold Coast?

You're not going to get far without money

or a phone. Or parents, for that matter.

We were sick of Mum and Dad fighting.

I just wanted to take my sister on a holiday.

I'll tell you what. I will give you one thing.

I'll give you full marks for imagination.

I'm going to be in lots of trouble, aren't I?

Well, not as much trouble as I'm going to be.

Are you in trouble with God?

Yeah, I reckon I am.

I don't believe in God.

Fair enough.

Why do you?

Well, because...

..God helps me out when I don't know what to do or when I'm feeling bad.

God doesn't judge. Just like your mum and dad.

As long as you do things for the right reason.

Can we go home now?

Yeah.

- Dad! - Baby, baby. Come here.

Elijah! What the hell?

Come on, mate, come here, come here, come here.

Oh, I've been going out of my mind.

Are you okay? Yeah?

Thank you for bringing them home.

Hey, we had an adventure.

- They're good kids. - Yeah. Yeah, most of the time.

Oh, don't you guys ever do that to me again, okay.

I was going crazy.

I love you so much. Um, Grace, the, um,

the changeover date. You were right.

- That was my bad. I'm sorry. - So if our kids want to run away,

- I think it's both of our fault. - We weren't running away.

I booked a return ticket.

Joe, are you cool if maybe we have dinner together tonight or something?

- Oh, yeah. - Yeah, that'd be, um. That'd be...

- That'd be great. - Okay. All right. I love you guys.

- I'll see you soon. - Love you.

- Bye. - Bye.

Bye.

I'm so sorry, Grace.

That should never have happened.

If anything had happened to my kids...

I completely understand.

No, I don't think you do.

I'm going to be contacting your superior

and filing a formal complaint.

How the fuck could you let that happen?

- I'm sorry. - There are protocols.

The police, child protection should have been informed.

- I know that. - Why does everybody here

seem to think that Tobias can just do whatever he wants?

I don't. I just... Tobias acts on impulse.

He doesn't want

to risk anything getting worse, so he just jumps in.

That's just the way he is.

With no regard for how that affects other people.

- Well... - He's just put your job on the line.

Well, to be fair, I should have informed the police.

Why take the blame like that?

Oh, I am not losing my job over this.

Tobias, where are you? Pick up.

Pick up.

Answer your phone. Please come home, Tobias.

We really need you.

Tobias, pick up your phone!

Call the police and come home. I can't deal with him alone.

Please, Tobias, please.

Please, we need you, I need you.

Lis!

Steph.

Steph... Steph...

- Get out! - Please stop!

Please stop! Stop, stop!

- Sorry. I'm sorry. - Get out!

- I'm sorry. - Get out!

Dad! Dad!

Please stop! Please stop! Please stop!
