Original subtitles

HUGH: I am a great surgeon.

Just ask the 1,017 people

walking around out there because of me.

Champagne, champagne, champagne!

Oh, shit.

Shit, shit, shit, shit!

Some help here!

DR. BURKE: You´ll be placed on the impaired registrants list.

You´re banned from surgical practice.

DR. KOUTOFIDES: We´d like you to serve your year of atonement

as a general practitioner in the town of Whyhope.

It´s so generous of you to use your sabbatical

to help our local community.

Yeah, I guess it is kind of big of me.

Can I Instagram you for your arrival?

You are on the impaired registrant list.

No one, of course, knows that except for me and the board.

You have really lovely eyes.

All the better to see through your bullshit.

Can´t you go somewhere else?

Worried you´re gonna fall for me again?

There´s absolutely nothing there.

You´re my ex.

-You´re a dad, you know? -What?

-Ajax. He´s yours. -Ajax is my son?

-[ Moaning ] -Charlie?

Charlie!

HUGH: You have an early pregnancy,

but the embryo is stuck in one of your fallopian tubes

and it´s ruptured.

We´re gonna have to operate.

Charlie, I´m so pleased for you.

A baby!

It´s a burst fallopian tube.

Oh, you got to prepare the pan before the perfect pancake.

Been Googling it. Women die from this shit.

Yeah, well, not today.

You chose the right brother.

You and Matt´ll make great parents.

And you´ll make the classic reprobate uncle.

I´ll do my best.

PENNY: Nice work back there.

I won´t tell anyone you´re a natural.

HUGH: You lied to me.

I prefer "gentle embellishment."

You know I´m a surgeon, not a midwife.

That´s what country doctors do. And that´s what you are now.

Can we please get back to civilization?

Can I interest you in a beer?

Sure. Why not?

Ooh, look at that. A $6,000 watch.

Did you steal that?

What? It´s mine.

I´m giving it to Ajax for his birthday.

-Have you met your brother? -He´s gonna love it.

He´s a bushboy, not a pimp.

And what would you give an armed religious psychopath, then?

Not that.

Right.

Helpful.

[ Siren wailing ]

-Is that... -Ah, no.

Yes, it is.

All you hear is the call of a smooth, golden ale.

We´d better follow them.

Malty aroma. Fruity hops.

It will end up with us anyway.

Hey.

-Jill. -Penny.

His name´s Gary Hardy.

He´s taken a big hit from that guy.

I´ve got a faint pulse.

PENNY: Keep his neck still.

Gary, can you hear me, mate?

Gary?

He´s suffered a major head trauma here.

We need to get him to Sydney tonight.

We need to assess him at the hospital

before I can authorize an airlift.

-No, that might be too late. -He´s unresponsive.

[ Monitor beeping ]

Checking vitals.

They´re stable. The plane?

On standby, but it doesn´t look good to me here.

-Well, I´m an optimist. -You should be a realist.

I suspect severe intracranial bleeding.

The radiologist just called. The CT results are ready.

Thanks, Aoife.

Fingers crossed for our FIFO.

Don´t do anything until I get back.

WOMAN: Surgery. How can I help you?

Dr. Nicholas, please. It´s urgent.

-Your name? -Dr. Knight.

Please hold.

You´re gonna have to give me something, brother.

Step it up. A blink, a swallow.

-Rita speaking. -Don´t hang up.

-It´s Hugh. Knight. -What do you want?

What would it take for you

to accept a critical head trauma?

-Are you kidding me? -Rita, please.

Of course I´d help a critical patient,

but I´m not on acute trauma call anymore.

Look, I´m sorry I didn´t call you

after that night where we...

-[ Dial tone ] -Fuck it!

Who was that?

-No one. -Better not be.

Is that it?

Subarachnoid hemorrhage, grade 5.

See the cloud on his brain?

I see it.

It´s a catastrophic brain injury.

He´s dead.

We have to redo the clinical tests, but yes.

Sorry, buddy.

Better check on the other idiots.

[ Mid-tempo instrumental music plays ]

[ Sizzling ]

Chops for my lamb chop.

[ Chuckles ]

That´s naff.

You´re being creepy.

You want to talk?

Oh, Chazza.

You know, I´m not hungry.

I think I´m gonna go for a walk.

-Where? -I don´t know.

No, no, no, no. Stay, rest. I´ll run you a bath.

I´m not allowed to have a bath, remember?

Let´s just get on with things, okay?

-Jim? -Yeah, I´m listening.

Right.

Well, Matt and Charlie found out they were pregnant

the same day they lost their child.

That´s a terrible thing to go through.

I can´t even imagine.

This family may not function in perfect synchronicity,

but when something like this happens,

we do it very well.

What they need right now is space, Meryl.

What they need right now is help.

Mm! Absolutely.

We have to show them they´re not alone.

Now, put your thinking caps on, everyone.

-ROSS: Hey! -HUGH: Sorry.

Is he really dead?

-I could show you the cloud. -What?

Yeah, he´s really dead.

There you go, Ross.

So, what was going on?

It was just a dumb fight.

I guess I started it, and then it got bigger.

He wasn´t even in it, the dead guy.

That other FIFO, he just pounded him from nowhere.

Yeah, well the cops got him.

I´m sorry, eh?

Do you realize the guy who started the fight

is a friend of peace-and-love Betty?

She´s a very nonjudgmental person.

Organ donation is approved.

Transplant team en route, in the morning.

-Okay, great. -Want that beer?

[ Cellphone chimes ]

We can discuss why you went behind my back

and rang some city neurosurgeon.

Ah, you heard that.

What big ears I have.

Look, the longer you´re stuck here,

the more likely it is you´ll die.

We should make that the hospital motto,

put it above the door.

We do a great breech birth, but neurosurgery we don´t do.

You have no idea what´s possible in the city now.

Well, gee whiz!

Let me pull the hay from my teeth so you can tell me.

City or country, he would have died.

Maybe.

So shall we go and have that beer

so you can continue to patronize me?

Why is it patronizing when I´m telling you the truth?

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Someone wants you.

[ Motez´s "Down Like This" playing ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Whoa, whoa, just slow -- slow down.

It´s been a really big day.

Oh, come on!

Don´t you ever have sex in a bed?

Uh, that´s for ordinary people. And couples.

So how come you and Penny were at the pub earlier?

Well, we didn´t actually make it inside the pub.

Well, whose idea was it?

This is sounding a lot like a couples conversation.

[ Door opens ]

Oh, sorry.

Aoife, have you seen the rolling pin?

-I´m making mojitos. -Uh, bottom drawer.

And Simone, this is Hugh.

He looks like my pa.

Your dad?

My granddad.

You two want cocktails?

Ah, maybe just coffee, intravenously.

Come on, Pops. What you need is an espresso martini.

[ Sighs ]

Jiwane. Shit!

Come on, hurry up! Let´s go!

Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.

They must be the transplant team.

No shit. Drive.

-What are you -- -Go on, get -- take the wheel.

Whoa, Hugh! What the...

-[ Engine starts ] -Just go!

Okay.

Aoife, what are you doing? Go!

Go!

AOIFE: You´re stressing me out!

Why are we running?

Okay, good. We´ve lost them.

-Just take me home. -Who is "them"?

No one you need to worry about.

Right, next left.

Left.

Left. Aoife!

AOIFE: You´ve already made me late for work!

Oh, you don´t understand!

Why you´re being such a monumental knobhead,

no, I don´t!

Turn around! I can´t go to the clinic.

Aoif-- [ Sighs ]

Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.

Go back. Reverse. The -- The other way.

Shit.

All right, I lied.

I´m not some altruistic surgeon on regional sabbatical.

I was struck off for being far too much fun,

and a sadistic board member

thought that sending me back to my hometown

might be suitably humiliating punishment.

I knew something wasn´t adding up with you.

That man is a cardiac surgeon and my ex-colleague.

-He can´t see me. -Why not?

´Cause he´s a smug little prick.

Oh, I get it.

No, you don´t get it. You need to get me out of here.

Fine. But you owe me.

Oh, are you kidding me?

Keep low, okay? You can escape round there.

Oi, Doc.

Gus.

Here for my tests.

Sorry it took me so long to come in.

PENNY: Delighted to have you and your specialists

perform the organ retrieval, Dr. Jiwane.

Penny.

How was your flight from Sydney?

Turbulent. So where can we scrub in?

-This way. -Great.

Can you come back tomorrow, mate?

No. Heading down south.

Never mind. Sorry to bother you, eh?

Gus. Wait.

[ Sighs ]

I´ll need a specimen from you first. Come in.

Stop! In the name of fun!

No work for you today, missy.

What? I´ve got library duty now.

Had library duty.

I pulled a favor with the principal.

Her husband, Roy, is on the council.

Why would you do that?

-I wanted to. -I asked her to.

You need to heal your aching womb, Charlie.

Oh, no, my womb is tippity-top, A-okay, really.

Hugh, your patients.

A, shut the door, and, B, don´t yell my name.

You treated my friend Ross last night.

Oh. Idiot. Sprained wrist.

He´s a nice guy.

He just drinks more than humans should.

He seemed scattered, and he feels bad --

Yes, well so he should. Listen, is Floyd still out there?

Yeah, he´s waiting on a lift to school.

Can you send him in?

Uh, Floyd.

-Shh! Shh! -Hugh wants to see...

This is a hospital.

I´ll just tell your patients to keep waiting, then, shall I?

Mm-hmm.

[ Door closes ]

What´s up?

How are you with espionage?

The recipient hospitals are all on standby.

JIWANE: Good, good.

I´ll just check the theater nurse is scrub prepped.

FLOYD: Hey! There´s --

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

-Ow! That hurt! -Right.

Here´s the plan, Floyd.

Your mum´s out there with a bunch of city leeches

that I don´t want to see, so I am going to give you this

if you go out there,

and when they go into the OR, you come and tell me.

You got it?

Sweet.

-What are you gonna tell me? -When they go into the OR.

Good lad.

♫ Gold ♫

♫ Always believe in your soul ♫

Oh, it´s lovely!

You look like...

A small intestine?

Princess Grace.

It´s very glamorous.

So how´s the birthday boy?

Um, I´m thinking of giving Ajax something money can´t buy.

What?

Ooh! That?

You be careful. You know where that leads.

Oh, my goodness, no!

We´re not married yet.

I was talking about a scarf

made by the girls in my prayer group.

-Sorry. -I understand.

You´re not thinking clearly.

All paid.

I nearly forgot -- This is a feelings journal, Charlie.

I think it helps to write everything down

to get it out of your system,

just so, you know, you and Matt can try again.

Gosh. Thanks, Meryl.

And if there is a bright side --

I always believe there´s a bright side --

you get to keep those fabulous breasts a little longer.

Mine were ruined breastfeeding the boys.

Jim´ll tell you.

Now, it´s a cheat day.

-Who´s for a hot chocolate? -Me.

Psst. Floyd.

Hey.

"Hey"?

What happened?

Oh. They´re gone.

-Into the OR? -Yep.

You sure?

Yep.

Hey, Hugh?

-Yeah? -What´s an OR?

JIWANE: Knighty!

Jiwane!

You´re doing a retrieval?

You know it. I´ve got the urge...

To surge.

Mate, do you -- You work here?

What, are you drunk?

I´d rather stick a rusty scalpel up my ass.

JIWANE: You´re telling me.

My whole life

is traveling around to these depressing hospitals.

HUGH: Right. Folks are from Whyhope.

Just picking up Mum´s results. She´s demented.

So, they´re not ready, then?

I´ll drop back in.

So why did you leave in such a rush, huh?

You still snorting Bondi up your nostrils?

HUGH: Ha, funny. Actually been doing some research.

Artificial heart in a pig. Groundbreaking stuff.

Oi, Doc. Catch!

[ Fluid sloshing ]

How´s that?

I wasn´t sure if you wanted piss or jerk juice,

so I just did both.

[ Exhales sharply ] Security.

Country folk. Easily confused.

Are you gonna examine me?

Maybe your frontal lobe, mate. I´m not your doctor.

GUS: Well, I...

[ Laughing ]

You do work here!

I knew it!

This is brilliant! This is gold!

I´m sorry, Gus. I´ll take your samples.

Well, maybe just one.

And Dr. Knight will be in with you in a minute.

All right, all right, I admit it.

I help out here at Hillbilly Hospital.

It´s called giving back.

We´re ready for you, Dan.

I see you´ve met our Sydney import.

I thought you two might enjoy a chat.

Oh, I can honestly say I have never enjoyed one more.

As I said, happy to help out.

Penny was unclear on transplant protocol,

so, uh, expertise lent.

Knighty, Knighty.

Ah, you were always destined for a giant tumble.

Yes, well at least I got high enough to fall.

[ Whispering ] Asshole.

There you are, Mrs. Lim. Good as new.

No more skin tags.

Betty will show you out.

-Bye-bye, now. -Thank you, bye.

[ Sighs ]

[ Knock on door ]

[ Door opens ]

Hi.

Hey.

Interesting hair.

Can I hide in here?

Makes two of us.

So you look, um...

I got Meryled.

Oh. Oh. What sort?

Well-meaning, empathetic Meryl.

The worst kind.

Ugh.

[ Both laugh ]

She´s not out there, is she?

No, I think I lost her.

Good move.

[ Laughs ]

Oh, do you need me to, um, to check you out?

Have you got abdominal pain, or...

A little, but it´s not too bad.

-Right. -It´s fine.

Ssss...

I´ve got to go. I´ve got lesson plans to...

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course.

Oh, um, no swimming in the dam. For a while.

Okay.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Dad.

Now?

JIM: Sun´s a bit high still.

MATT: Yeah. No nibbles.

JIM: [ Clears throat ]

Do you remember Winky?

Yeah, Holstein cow. A bit.

Yeah, one night I found her in trouble.

Meryl was holding the torch

and I was attaching those calf-pulling chains.

Never gets tired,

seeing them take those first shaky steps.

Unfortunately it came out, you know...

...dead.

But she went on to have more calves?

No. Died of liver disease three months later.

You want a sandwich?

Often wonder if I might have yanked those chains a bit hard.

So these scrapings

will tell us what type of fungal infection you have.

-[ Camera shutter clicks ] -[ Laughs ]

You just breached patient confidentiality.

I didn´t get your face in.

Haven´t you got a heart to transport?

Bugger off.

Dude, you should have seen me extract that beautiful baby.

Don´t you miss it?

I dedicated my first cut to you. [ Laughs ]

Any more patients, Betty?

This man deserves neither our respect

nor our friendship.

I heard what you said. We all did.

Oh, come on, you´re not holding me to all that, are you?

Pride is an ugly companion, Hugh.

It was a joke.

Dan and I were just mucking around.

City humor, you know?

Betty.

It´s still me.

That´s the problem, though, isn´t it?

[ Sighs ]

So I´m dead to Ken and Betty.

Bloody Dan Jiwane.

He´s gonna Instagram the hell out of this.

Medical scandal of the year.

Mighty Knighty doing general in Whyhope.

#nonsabbatical, #sprung.

Yeah, they´re all down there laughing at you --

stuck in this backwater hellhole,

a pathetic, sad-ass little country GP.

Like me.

-♫ Ice queen ♫ -♫ Ice queen ♫

♫ You´re so cold inside ♫

♫ Yeah, baby, you´re the ice queen ♫

[ Music stops ]

HUGH: Do they know we´re coming?

PENNY: They don´t have a phone.

HUGH: Hmm. Savages.

[ Flies buzzing ]

[ Shotgun cocks ]

Jesus!

This is not on my "top 10 ways to go out" list.

You´re trespassing. Put your hands up.

Talk!

Well, I love what you´re doing here.

You´re obviously a real conservationist,

the feral pigs being such a problem in the area.

Damage they do to agriculture and wildlife...

Shut the fuck up. [ Coughs ]

Hugh, that´s blood.

All I´m saying is --

Stop talking so we don´t get our heads blown off.

-I know what I´m doing. -Suddenly you´re an expert?

What are you saying?

All I´m saying, mate, is that it´d be a travesty

if the pigs started breeding like crazy

because the number-one pig culler

was out with Q fever for months.

PENNY: Perhaps I can explain better.

We run a comprehensive vaccination program.

Our prevention measures

have reduced disease rates in the region by a third.

Why is the ATO doing it?

The ATO?

We´re doctors.

You´re not from the tax office?

You better not be shitting me.

I´m just a normal bloke trying to help.

Go the Red and the Black, eh?

[ Chuckles ] Brought home the shield two years in a row.

Yeah, they did.

Whoo! Tigers!

-Lions. -Lions.

Same cat species.

Yeah, right. Follow me.

What the fuck´s Q fever, anyway?

It won´t hurt, little guy.

No.

Oh, you won´t get him. He´s stubborn.

-Hey, little buddy. -Yeah?

There´s gonna be blood. You want to see that?

Yeah.

Come here.

Here we go.

-Oh ho! -PENNY: All done.

HUGH: Done.

[ Girl laughing ]

What have you got there?

Oh, that´s a pig snout.

Just chop it off and give it to them.

They suck on it for days.

It´s heaps nutritious.

WOMAN: Dinner!

Hot chip fondue!

-Yeah! -HUGH: Yeah, great!

Oh, chips! I remember this.

It´s a Whyhopean tradition. Now, pack it in nice and tight.

More. We need -- yeah. Fill it right up.

Okay, that´s enough.

How am I supposed to...

-Ahh. -Straight in.

-Straight in. -Okay.

[ Cheering ]

-HUGH: Cheers. -CRAIG: Cheers.

She´s been christened. You are now a true Whyhopean.

You´re only Whyhopean when it suits you.

Oh!

Oh, my God. This is delicious.

CRAIG: [ Laughs ] Yeah.

Two of these a day, hogging, family.

It´s everything you´d ever need right he--

[ Coughing ]

Excuse me.

[ Coughing ]

I´m gonna need to see to that. Now.

He won´t let you, love.

[ Sighs ] He won´t talk about it.

Not even to me.

Well, you need to change his mind.

Here.

[ Coughing continues ]

ELECTRONIC VOICE: Can you help me?

Where is the toilet?

Pouvez-vous m´aider?

Où est la toilette?

Pouvez-vous merder?

Où sont la toilette?

I am lost.

Je suis perdue.

I am lost.

Je suis perdue.

[ Goat bleats ]

You got kids, Dora?

Ha.

Kids.

[ Groans ]

[ Sighs ]

Well, that was hairy.

PENNY: Mm.

You can tell Dan Jiwane

you´re living on the edge out here.

All right, fair call.

The blood in Craig´s cough, though. What do you reckon?

Bleeding respiratory tract? Could be cancer.

He´d have to come in.

All right. I´ll get him in.

You´re not buying that, are you?

Already have. For Ajax.

What happened to the watch?

Well, funnily enough, I changed my mind.

I´m not sure that´s appropriate either.

Can´t get anything right, can I?

Not today.

-So we friends again? -Barely colleagues.

I´ll take it.

I really don´t care how you feel about being here, Hugh.

As you know, I expect nothing less than what you did.

Betty and Ken are, however, optimists about human nature,

and you crushed them.

Well, don´t sugarcoat it.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Check that, will you?

Ken´s Instagrammed a photo of me, #fraud.

[ Laughs ] That´s funny.

Like it for me, will you?

Ha.

[ Cellphone thuds ]

BETTY: Ross, it´s Betty here.

I´m just calling again to see if you´re okay.

Can you please call me back?

Okay, bye.

Can you guys help me out? I can´t find my stethoscope.

I would, but I wouldn´t want to contaminate you

with my rural inferiority.

Well, I can´t be a very good doctor

without a stethoscope, now, can I?

Is that what you are?

It says here you´re a fake and a liar.

Someone should have warned that poor girl

who OD´d at your party.

What? Stop tweeting that shit, you psycho. Delete!

It´s already been shared 152 times.

Is that photoshopped?

I´ve got no teeth.

Betty.

I just find the whole thing incredibly sad.

You poor, poor man.

What is it about you that makes you hate yourself so much?

I don´t ha--

Ah, thanks for kicking me while I´m down.

-What? -You told everyone everything?

Well, so?

That was not for public consumption.

Now they all hate me.

-Well, I don´t. -Then why would you do that?

You have to tell me everything about your past life.

I want all the ops, details, results.

You must have got to do the best stuff.

I did.

And I miss it every day.

Anyway, got to go and pick up Ajax´s present.

He´s got his birthday dinner tonight.

All right. I´ll catch you later, then.

Come with me.

And eat with your family? They´re batshit crazy.

Yeah, you´ll fit right in.

How about it?

-JIM: Happy birthday. -MERYL: Happy birthday.

AJAX: Ohh!

-You like it, huh? -Oh, shit yeah!

[ Laughter ]

-[ Motorcycle engine revving ] -Oh, what is that racket?

The ego has landed.

Happy birthday, Ajax.

Catch.

[ Keys jingle ]

Well, come on. Come and take a look.

Thanks.

It´s awesome.

Yeah. Uh...

I don´t want it.

-It´s a Ducati. -He said he didn´t want it.

-[ Exhales sharply ] -Sorry.

Why would you do that?

He doesn´t ride since his accident.

What accident?

When he was 10. Scared the hell out of him.

Well, no one told me.

I did. I rang you twice.

Oh. Really?

MERYL: I think what you two need to heal

is a Pacific cruise.

Hayley, spuds?

Cruises aren´t really my thing.

Nonsense. I have brochures you can look at.

Great way to lock in a bout of gastro.

Dad. You´ve got to use the tip of the knife.

You get a much cleaner cut.

I went on a cruise once.

But it was more like one of those hens´ party boats,

you know with all the lights.

We all stripped off and swam around,

and we couldn´t get back up.

It was hilarious.

Oh, and there was this topless waiter,

only I´m pretty sure he was a gigolo

´cause he was hung like a bull.

I mean, that thing needed its own landing strip.

[ Laughs ]

I was told. I-I didn´t see it.

I think the bride might have.

Pass the gravy?

Uh, Hugh, why is Ken saying that you´re a fraud

on Instagram?

"Why is Ken?" is the question, Hayley.

What, they don´t know either?

-Know what? -Nothing.

Well, it´s nothing to be ashamed of.

It´s private, Aoife. We are all here for Ajax.

We´re family. Nothing´s private.

I´ll vouch for that.

MERYL: [ Clears throat ]

Okay, fine.

It´s a small town with small minds and big mouths,

so you´re all bound to find out anyway.

I am not here on sabbatical.

I was sent here after an incident with a woman

who I saved, but she...

I let my social life get in the way of work too much.

Got busted and now I´m on probation for a year. Here.

Cheers. Happy birthday, Ajax.

Thanks, Hugh.

What happened to giving back? Dear, oh, dear.

Well, we´re all here for Ajax. Who needs a drink?

Me. I do.

MERYL: Let´s eat.

I´ll say grace.

I think that we should all say a special prayer

for Charlie and Matt´s precious little ange--

I don´t want to pray! [ Bangs table ]

Maybe it was supposed to happen. Maybe I´m relieved.

[ Insects chirping ]

Not relieved.

That´s the wrong word.

But maybe if there was something wrong,

maybe it´s better.

A week ago there was a mynah bird trapped in the house.

It´s a sign of death.

What happened to us, it just happened.

I reckon it was a boy.

[ Sighs ]

Who knows?

I would have been stoked with a girl, though.

Especially if she looked like her mum.

Though she would have been homeschooled

and not date till she was 30.

[ Laughs ]

I was thinking about eggs.

Ugh, you´re always thinking about eggs.

No, not to eat.

You know, eggs are a symbol of life, aren´t they?

Like spring and fertility and all that.

I don´t know, maybe it was a different sign.

Give it another shot.

Hey.

[ Sniffles ]

You´ve got to have something.

Trips, uppers, coke.

Something.

Sadly, no.

Aside from that hair, which should be illegal,

you haven´t changed.

Do people ever?

Oh, you won´t.

Uh, maybe I will.

Oh! Think I´ve got half a doobie in my jacket downstairs.

-Do people still say "doobie"? -AOIFE: Hey, Ajax.

-AJAX: Hi. -Doobie?

Sorry I don´t want the bike. It´s just...

Oh, it was a dumb idea anyway.

I do get carried away sometimes.

I could sell it and have the cash.

No, you can´t ´cause it´s a lease.

I was joking.

Oh. Funny.

You never got me anything before.

Hmm. I still haven´t.

-You gonna have sex now? -Get out.

Mycetoma is an infection of tissue and bone,

which is why you had the hemoptysis.

-Blood in your saliva. -Oh, right.

But if you take a course

of antifungal medication twice a day, should be fine.

He´s not very good

at remembering stuff like that, Doc.

Thought as much.

Which is why

you down two of these a day.

Yeah, but just two, right? I´ve promised her.

Two cans, two tabs.

-Now you won´t forget. -[ Laughs ]

Now, officially, I can´t condone drinking on medication.

But you just gave me beer.

Well, I gave you a choice.

Wey!

You´re coming for dinner every Friday.

Okay? No arguments.

Ah, Hugh. Penny´s looking for you.

And here´s the new plane roster.

Looks like you´ll be flying a lot this month.

You´re welcome to bring your boyfriend with you.

Yeah, yeah, I understand.

All right. Yeah.

All right, take care, Ross.

Bye.

Who´s next?

Um, Mrs. Hale at 1:00,

and it would be great if you could mask your contempt.

All right.

Truce?

How´s your friend Ross?

Oh, not great.

He´s sort of laying low out of shame.

No one´s lived a perfect life. I told him that.

Anyway, I made an appointment for him to come in.

That hit to the head´s given him a headache

and made him sort of slurry.

Hit to the head?

I thought he only had a sprained wrist.

Did he seem confused?

Oh, just off somehow.

Where is he now?

Oh, at work I guess, which is crazy considering his hand.

Show me. Let´s go.

-What? -Let´s go.

-Ross! -He might be round the back.

-Ross? -Ross?

[ Groaning softly ]

Just look to me.

Pupils are fixed and dilated, eyes are down at out.

Betty.

Okay, Ross, I think you´re having an extradural hemorrhage.

Bleeding inside your skull,

putting pressure onto your brain.

Oh, he´s out. I´m gonna call an ambulance.

HUGH: No time for that.

BETTY: Oh, hello. Ambulance, please.

Yeah, 16 Runyon Street.

Betty. Betty Bell.

He´s unconscious.

Pray to whoever it is you pray to, Betty.

[ Whirs ]

This is our best shot.

We need to open up his head or he´ll die.

You´re gonna sterilize that drill bit

with the oxy torch and then this.

Okay.

I´m gonna find the axial point.

Then you´re gonna hold his head while I do it, okay?

Betty. Breathe.

Okay. Ready.

Hold his head very still, okay?

Got to drill down into the dura but no further.

-Or? -Or I´ll puncture his brain.

You ready?

[ Whirring ]

Perfect.

[ Coughing ]

I think I just started breathing again.

All right, I´ll tube it.

This is festive.

Yes, well, ever been to a penance party?

That looks familiar.

Too good not to share.

[ Laughs ]

Ross is stable, by the way.

I saw him. Thanks.

Did you hear? Betty saved Ross´ life.

Not really how Betty´s telling it.

I gave you the glory

because you seem to have such a deep need for it.

Yes, well, guess I deserved that one.

Ken tweeted that you´re not an organ donor.

Who would want them?

Do you remember your first transplant?

Absolutely.

God, I was going nuts waiting for the heart to arrive.

Recipient was a 15-year-old girl.

Dilated cardiomyopathy.

How´d it go?

Well, it was terrifying.

But when I saw the new heart beat

perfectly inside her chest for the first time,

well, my God.

Gary´s organs saved eight people.

-Eight? -Wow.

What a champ.

Hugh...

There´s two of you.

Well, it´s "Hugh" for the price of one.

I´ve only got room for Whyhope Hugh.

Ah.

And if you ever trash-talk me and this practice again,

your nuts will need a ventilator.

Fair enough.

Penny´s the expert.

Check the technique, people.

What is this culinary delight I´ve been robbed of?

This is pretty much my national dish.

This is a misuse of hospital grounds.

It´s a peace offering, Ken.

Treating us like country bumpkins,

mocking us with our own rituals?

That´s a peace offering, or another gesture of contempt?

Regardless, I will eat your sandwich,

but know that there is no peace between us.

Ah.

So, after this, if you want...

...we could have sex in a bed.

That´s for couples, isn´t it?
