Offspring

The police are handling the Brendan situation now

and I'm supposed to do nothing.

My ex-husband, my family,

my life,

apparently is out of my hands.

Please place ticket in slot.

Well, I did.

Ticket is in slot, see.

Please ask for assistance.

What? From who?

There's nobody around.

Hello?

Excuse me.

Nins, you should make sure

they lock Brendan up in the looney bin.

Leave it up to the police.

Put this explosion business

out of your mind.

Give me the bloody ticket.

Thank you.

Pick up, Brendan.

The cops will never find him

if he doesn't wanna be found.

I have to fix this.

Oh, stop it. That's ridiculous.

Brendan would never hurt me.

Oh.

Oh.

Brendan.

It makes me so happy

to hear your voice.

Yeah.

I think we should talk face to face.

Yeah, please. Where, when?

Um, at the lovely river spot where we--

where we ate the crumbly cheese in the--

In the--in the Black Wax?

Yeah, that place.

I don't know when I'll be able to get away from work

but, uh, I'll give you a call.

It's up to me. I can do this.

Kim,

I need to speak to Chris Havel urgently.

Seminar room. You're supposed to be in there too

listening to some blurb about Dr. Clegg.

Really? Right, shit.

Clegg's having one of his feral days again,

made one nurse cry,

one nurse laugh till tea came out her nose

and one med student throw up.

Fresh sperm,

I'm keeping it body temperature

until my girlfriend gets here to collect it.

Oh.

Actually, I wouldn't mind your advice about this.

Yeah, sure, happy to, but not now.

Yeah, woman on a mission, off you go.

Reduction of relative risk

in preeclampsia was, um--

was pretty significant.

What does that mean?

I hear some of you bleating.

Well, it means if we use a combination

of predicting women at risk,

and then targeting them with the best intervention,

we can achieve better outcomes,

but how do we do that?

I'm sorry.

Let us remind ourselves

what a uterine Doppler

ultrasound looks like,

shall we?

Just a bit jumpier

since my car exploded.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

-It's okay. -That is exactly why I'm--

I mean, I was joking.

Can everybody make out the flow

of velocity waveforms,

hmm?

Well, we know that so far that 20% of women,

-uh... -I guess the police

have spoken to you about

what you need to do...

Well, they suggested that I, uh,

stay in a motel last night.

Chris' whole family had to evacuate

in case your ex-husband knows

where he lives.

Hence, the decision of this department

to participate in Prof. Walter's study.

-Now, Prof. Walter's study is-- -Well, I'm really sorry.

I can't--I can't even--

-God. - Randomized--

In randomized controlled trials

which included women treated with aspirin.

Nina, please, don't feel bad.

My daughter thinks staying in a motel

is a grand adventure.

Is it?

Yeah. You know, I--

I want you to know that I'm doing everything I can

to sort out this situation with my ex-husband.

In fact, I'm gonna do it today.

You know, as a vain man, I pride myself

on being entertaining.

So, what can I do

to spice up my performance for you?

Sorry.

In randomized controlled trials,

uh, which included women treated with aspirin.

How's that phone working out for you?

I'll just-- I'll get out of your way.

I'm sorry.

Darling?

Yes, yes, yes.

Oh.

I inspired you to write that song.

Yeah.

Am I entitled to a share

of any money you make out of it?

What, like a royalty?

Yeah.

Yeah, I demand 10% of it.

I don't think it's 10%, hang on.

Don't you wish you knew which 10%

I'm gonna pick?

Grip. Oh, Jesus.

Those are magical hands,

seriously, they're priceless.

Shit.

What?

I got to go.

Don't go.

It's too easy.

Yeah, you are.

No need to panic.

The police do this stuff every day.

Well, maybe not every day but a lot.

And if I get panicky, I'll just signal Sergeant Reid.

I should practice.

Perhaps they'll grab him if he tries anything,

which he won't.

Come on, Brendan, don't be late for your own ambush.

This is how it will go.

Nina,

hi.

Wow.

You were right.

I need to get some help.

-Just so everyone can feel safe. - Exactly.

So, if you just excuse me, I'm just gonna pop myself over

to those police officers and give myself up.

That, um, that one.

- Sergeant Reid? -Yeah.

He's got such a kind face, hasn't he?

I know.

Oh, by the way,

I brought you some cheese.

Thanks.

Yes, just like that please.

No dramas.

Oh, God.

I'm late now because of you.

Don't go.

Some of us have appointments.

Cancel them. Come back to bed.

Yes. It's all right for you Mr. Part-time musician,

part-time labor, but I, on the other hand,

am trying to have a full-time life.

Don't try saying I'm slack.

You want me to list projects and add up all the hours

-I put into-- -No, I don't.

'Cause you know I work hard and it's still--

Can you just run this to Nin's place,

all right, so don't slob it up while I'm out.

I get it. You're picking a fight.

What? No, I'm just saying let's slob the place up

-while I'm out. -Can't handle us being happy.

It's been 13 hours without a fight.

No, I hear you prattling on when you lie there,

but I don't actually hear you say it.

You're waiting for the love bubble to burst.

That makes you nervous.

I'm looking for shoes. I'm not listening to you.

Ahh.

Come on, Brendan, hurry up and get arrested.
