Hey.

Yeah, I was just about to call.

Why? Did something... No, no, no, it's good.

Did you check her breathing?

Yeah, it was great, she...

..she just fell asleep.

OK, so you know you're gonna take the bottle with you?

Hmm-mm.

And you should probably wipe down the doorknobs.

Anything that might leave a trace. OK.

And you should come over.

And it's a big thing watching someone...

Alright.

So, ahh...

..you sure you don't want to take this take up

with the head of your department?

Normally I encourage...

I would, but this is a tricky situation.

Oh. Politically.

She's had issues in the past.

And I just thought when I was asked to supervise,

I should keep a close eyes on, but I...

..did not expect this.

No, no, this is...

..I don't quite know what this is.

I do think it has to be reported.

Tell them I'll be there around 8:00.

Because I have to get the kids dinner.

OK, mum, OK, yup.

I'll see you soon, yup, bye.

Mothers right?

I live with mine.

So how have you been?

Are you sure that four is enough for...

..all of that?

Good cause.

I'd want someone to help me.

It's a messed up system.

It is.

Still, if this is too often, you'll tell me?

I don't want to do anything that's gonna...

Dude, it's not Ketamine.

Like it's so uncontrolled I don't even have to log it.

As long as you don't say where you got it.

You got yourself a perfect crime.

It's awesome.

Mum, I did two laps underwater. Wow!

Didn't I? Almost.

Oberon's in his room.

Josh put the door back on.

Suck.

I felt bad.

Thanks for looking after them.

Now, what about you?

Get everything we need?

Hmm-mm.

Don't you need help unpacking them?

Nope.

My department, under control.

Mum?

♪ La la la la. ♪

How are you doing? Sorry to barge in.

Are you Dr Kathryn Brennan?

Hi. Is this about Daddy?

Guys we just want to have a quick chat with your mum.

Oh, we can talk outside. Yeah, sure.

Do you want to call anyone?

Nope, all good.

Umm, I'm sorry, their father's been...

I'm their primary carer now.

So... Honestly, it's just a few questions.

Yes, ahh...

Is this about one of my patients?

Depends.

Is providing testosterone a big part of your practice?

You have been prescribing it a lot lately.

We shouldn't need anyone's permission.

Not our parents, not doctors.

You are in no in a position to moralise.

The side effects of taking a hormone

outside proper medical supervision...

What, like acne?

Like voice deepening?

Like heart disease, osteoporosis.

So we'll drink some milk.

Help the dairy farmers.

You swiped my script pad and forged my signature!

Did you sell it to these kids?

No, he's not answering that.

No, I was helping them.

I wasn't profiting.

OK, alright, well, despite how it sounds

I'm sure that Oberon has learned his lesson.

So if there's any chance that you could dismiss this on a warning?

And it's not just going to be Community Service.

That record's going to follow you everywhere.

University, jobs.

And who were they anyway?

Just some people I met at Camp.

I thought you didn't make any friends at Camp?

Yeah, well, I kept in touch.

Yeah, well, what, you're willing to risk your whole future

for people you don't even like?

They're my tribe aren't they?

We've got to stick together.

I don't want you to take anymore of it, if you have been.

But I'm listening and I'm going to sort it out with your dad.

Just fuck off, Kate.

Hey!

You get back here!

Oberon!

Of course you can, darling.

What about tomorrow?

Because I cant spend another second with her.

Why don't you get settled on the couch,

There's chocolate cake in the fridge.

Thanks, Nanna.

Little shit.

He's the one that's in the wrong.

Motherhood.

Everything's your fault always.

You should've called me if you weren't going to make it.

Willie and Iris were waiting.

Well, I got caught up, didn't I?

I'll go there now. No, no, I'll do the handover.

I'm seeing them tomorrow.

I need to talk him through it.

Are we not in this together?

What?

Am I not to be trusted with anything?

It's you and your boyfriend now?

Is it? Fine.

You know, I was having a good day?

Were you, really?

You look tired.

Menstrual?

No.

Ahh, just not sleeping, the heat.

It's too much water.

Keeps you up at night.

Everyone drinks too much water these days.

All these adults walking around sucking on things

like they're out in the desert.

Can you ask Willie to call me if he's got any questions?

And I just need to know if he's got a date in mind.

Sure, no problem.

And don't worry about Oberon.

When you were small I wanted to smother you with a throw cushion.

And here we are.

Oh, my god.

Let's go this way, lateral travel.

Back this way!

Power those arms.

It's Iris and Willie's anniversary.

I never believed couples make a big production of it.

Which means they're compensating.

Although these two do seem very devoted.

He's been quite unwell.

Melanoma, this country, no wonder.

I think she's done a lot of the caring.

It always falls to the women.

Bet she'll be avoiding that now.

You look nice, Nana.

Do I?

No I don't.

Who's going to this party?

(IRISH MUSIC)

Well, what do you think?

A young'un.

Now we're gonna party.

That's a terrible Irish accent, really.

Oh!

Thanks for having me.

You're welcome.

Put those over there and come and have a beverage, son.

Can I?

Don't see why not.

Thanks.

How are you bearing up?

He wanted a party.

Willie loves a party.

Did you bring it?

It's in my handbag.

You must call me when he's going to use it.

Look at you two with heads together.

What are we talking about?

I was just admiring the Rose Glass.

You bought that in Venice, what year was it?

'87?

'85.

The four of us, Willie and Iris, Henry and I,

in a marvellous hotel.

Sunset Bellinis.

Willie nearly fell in the Grand Canal.

We fished him out.

Just as well we did.

Hey.

(PARTY CHATTER)

Be gone with your fancy perks and conference holidays.

We're going to be working!

Yeah, drinking cocktails.

Do you know where we went for our Christmas party?

Kate, tell her?

Oh, I didn't go.

Right, the Parkwood Tavern.

Years of frontline service and that's what we're worth.

But you go to paradise.

Hey, did OT see Mrs Jensen?

I don't understand this paperwork.

Do I have something on my face?

No, no, ahh...

..paperwork, that's not me.

Nick and I have been prepping for the conference speech.

Oh, hence the bikini. Oh, right.

So, Mrs Jensen, do you want me to come with you

to talk to the family or do you wanna...

..do it alone?

Is he in today?

Nik.

Yeah, he's in his office.

Oberon's a kid and he's going to have a record now

because your little girlfriend out there,

in her Nancy Drew wisdom,

thought I was selling testosterone to minors.

That's a pretty massive accusation...

Oh, you think?

You accusing her?

Oh, my god, how long have you known me?

Why would I sell fucking testosterone?

It doesn't make any logical sense.

♪ And now you turn around yippee. ♪

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Katie, Katie.

Katie, OK, come here, come here.

I'm fine, I'm just dizzy, I'm just...

Come over here, you're gonna have a nap.

I don't need a nap, I was just a bit...

Here please.

Sit down and shut up.

Oh, god.

Oh.

Put your feet up.

I'm fine, I'm fine.

You're working too hard. I'm really not.

Now, don't worry, I'm gonna go and interrogate Nancy Drew.

OK? OK.

And if it's true, she's not going anywhere.

Waterboard her.

If you feel like it.

Sure.

Ow.

(SINGING IRISH SONGS)

Nana, come and dance.

Dance with us.

(SINGING CONTINUES)

Ah, there you are.

Dance?

No, thank you.

Oh.

You seemed to like it last time.

You're a tease.

All talk and no action.

Henry?

Time for speeches.

I'm thrilled to be here celebrating our dear friends.

I won't prattle on, I'll just toast.

True love!

Iris and Willie. EVERYONE: Iris and Willie.

EVERYONE: Speech! Speech!

On your feet, Iris.

Speech. On your, go on, up you get.

Go on.

Well.

As you're aware, some of you might not be...

..it's been a pretty tough year.

One of the toughest.

Willie loves a good whinge.

Taxes, weather, but not so much about his health.

Don't get maudlin, darling.

Well, I'm just saying...

..it hasn't gone unnoticed.

We're very grateful for old friends...

..and for new ones too.

For being there.

Thank you.

Well, drink up.

Stay late.

(CHEERS)

I've booked a sleepover for tomorrow,

but I just need someone to pick her up from swimming.

I mean, I could ask one of the school mums but...

..I never reciprocate so it's a bit...

Oh, I'm happy to stay at the house if it's easier.

Really, no, I couldn't ask you.

I'm offering.

Alright, thanks.

So, who goes to these kind of things?

Oh, power care, hospital heads, uh...

..consultants, drug reps.

Hopefully it won't descend into the usual orgy,

I'm really not in the mood.

Well, it's just...

..isn't it a bit...

..hanging out with these sort of people a mess?

What sorts of people?

What do you think I do every day?

Well, look, I get you got to earn money.

Oh, thanks for getting that.

It's just, isn't that weird?

With everything we've been doing?

They're not evil, they're just doctors.

OK.

We do good work.

Lot's of it, all the time.

Yeah.

And then every time there's talk of legislation,

they turn into a turf war.

Right, and that's why we're doing what we're doing.

I mean...

God, what do you want from me

do you want me to burn my medical license?

Yippee!

(DIZZY SINGING)

Kate, you alright?

Woo, yeah, just a bit dizzy.

You OK?

You OK? Yeah, yeah, it'll be alright.

You know, from all you've told me,

I'm not convinced this Jasper's worth it.

Right?

He's only doing this because he's like just been dumped on his arse.

Like, he's like so desperate for attention.

I could be anyone.

So what?

Oberon has too much dignity.

Oh, rubbish.

Go for it.

What's the worst that can happen?

OK.

OK, I'm going to text him.

You seem different.

I've been busy.

Art?

He was first.

He didn't want to lose everything.

I didn't know you had it in you.

No, that's wrong, I did.

Glimpsed it.

Oh, that woman in the photographs...

..she was at your lunch party.

My ex-wife.

So she was staying with you?

Visiting.

You can't go back.

Past is dead.

You can only go forward.

You're drunk.

(CHUCKLES) Shickered.

For Ireland.

(FRIDGE BEEPING)

Oberon.

Fridge.

Don't just lie there like a lump.

Oh, no, how awful.

It's not awful, it's unimaginable.

Why would they?

Maybe they just died together in their sleep?

She left a note, Mary.

They poisoned themselves.

I want it treated as a crime scene.

Detectives are on their way.

Did you know the victims?

Yes, I knew both of them.

Ahh, ma'am?

You shouldn't be in there.

Oh, I'm sorry, I...

..I just needed to see it for myself.

Hey.

(PHONE VIBRATES)

Hi, mum?

We have a problem.

Why, what did he do?

Not Oberon.

With Iris.

She took it with him.

Sorry, took? It!

Willi and Iris.

She took it as well, they both did.

They took it together.

Was she sick?

Was Iris sick at all?

She didn't seem sick to me.

Well, she's dead now.

What do we do?

Next steps?

He was sick.

She didn't want to live without him.

It's not romantic, Henry.

It's not bloody 'Romeo and Juliet'.

I wouldn't do it for you.

If you died I think I'd feel...

..relieved.

Sad of course but mostly free.

That isn't fair, is it?

Not to either of us.

Shut up.

I want what they had.

Iris and Willie.

I deserve it.

Shut up, shut up, shut up!

MAN: No, no, go on.

An old man behind the podium, chatter away.

We have Hamilton Workshops starting at 2:00.

I would like to spruik my own workshop,

'Psychosocial aspects'.

That's tomorrow at 11:00 in the pink room.

Are you alright? Yeah.

Still dizzy? No, I'm good,

Sure? Yeah.

Please welcome our Queensland chapter President,

Dr Nikos Naoumidis.

With his colleague, Kate Brennan.

Thank you, thank you.

I have good news and I have bad news.

But don't worry because I gave the good news to your widow.
