- What's your name?
- Svetlana.
- I'm Angus, call me roachie.
- What are you doing
in this hick town?
- Well, we're making a
shit load of money.
- That's what we're doing.
- Now, collateral.
- That's your guarantee?
Yeah, and the collateral is,
Mike will do the shop?
- Mm-hmm, bricks and mortar.
- Yup.
- The advance
we talked about?
- Got it right here, 3,000.
The check for the other 12,000
will be here next week.
- We all reckon you did it.
- Kieran was with me, weren't you?
- Yeah, shooting moments.
- You're both such
hopeless, bloody liars.
- I want you and Joe out of this house
by the morning.
- Last time I saw you,
you were sitting out the back sulking.
- You mention the word
child or pregnancy,
and I swear I will throttle you.
- This is ridiculous behavior.
- Oh.
- I need you.
- You don't bloody need me.
- I do.
- You're a man with a heart
the size of a walnut.

- How did you sleep?
- How about we don't do anymore talking
until we have something new to say?
Mm-hmm?
Let's just enjoy the silence.
That's why we moved
out here for anyway.
- Mm-hmm.
- Thanks.
- Gorgeous day.
- Unbelievable.
- This fish looks delicious.
Did you get it at fox cove?
- Yeah.
- Snapper.
- Appropriate, isn't it?
- All right, we've
talked about the weather
and the food,
all pretty textbook for
a couple in crisis.
I suppose now, it's just
back to the weather again.
What do you think?
Think it's going to keep raining?
- Don't, Perry.
- No, I know, I know.
The sounds of silence.
- I'm sorry, it was a
stupid thing to say.
No, no.
No, it's not.
No talk.
Okay, no talk, but let's walk.
A bush walk.
- What, now?
- No, not now, at the weekend.
Well, let's go for a walk around here,
like we used to.
It'll be beautiful,
we'll be beautiful.
The bush will be beautiful.
- Okay.
- Even if it keeps raining.
What do you think, lil?
You think it will keep raining?
- That's not funny.
- No, it's not funny.
- Hey, Beck.
- Yeah.
- Good drying day.
- Yeah, come to give me
a hand then have you?
- So, is young Kieran about?
- No, he's not.
- I've just got to organize
a time to interview him.
- You've already spoken
to him, haven't you?
- Yeah, but got to go
have a couple of pints.
He's Hank's alibi, you understand?
- Yeah, sure, it must get a bit dull
harassing the same sharp all the time.
- Look, Beck...
I'm sure you're worried
about both your boys.
- Are you now?
- I just don't want Kieran following
his brothers footsteps.
Now he's 18 now.
If he was involved in
that robbery and assault,
it's not good.
- Yeah, I better take this lot in.
I'll tell Kieran you came round.
- Look, Beck, I'm sure
me running up like this
is every mother's worst nightmare.
- You couldn't begin to imagine
my worst nightmare, constable.
- Morning, angel.
- Am I expected to clean
this lot up then?
- Well, you're doing it, aren't you?
- Where's Kieran?
- How would I know?
I'm not his boss, am I?
- You better not be.
- Oh god, get off me back.
We're brothers, not the bloody mafia.
- Leave that, it's Fifi's.
- So?
It's only a t-shirt.
- Just leave it!
You see this?
I don't want to be
shoving Kieran's clothes
into some dirty old
plastic shopping bag,
and carry him off to some stinking
prison one day.
He's my baby, Hank.
He wouldn't survive it,
and it would bloody well kill me.
- See this, this is my wallet,
with my bloody money in it.
I can look after myself.
Oh, and guess what?
Your precious little
baby, Kieran can too.
Rent, mine and Kieran's.
Don't you bring that money in here!
- The boy's were up late last night.
Thick as thieves, those two.
- Well, according to Mike Jones,
that's exactly what they are.
He wants to interview Kieran now.
- Yeah?
Oh, Kieran's all right,
he can look after himself.
- What?
- It's boys, Beck.
They all go off the rails a bit at 18.
He'll be okay.
- Yeah, he's 18, he's old
enough to go to prison.
- Well, what do you
want me to do about it?
Look him up in his bedroom?
- I don't know, do something.
For Christ sake, give him some options.
- He wouldn't listen to me anyway.
- Then lay down the law.
Be a bloody father,
and put your own clothes
away for a change.
- You speak Russian.
- Bloody badly unless
you understood me.
Was right,
you are a bit of spunk
aren't you?
- Sorry?
- I'm sorry, I'm just mucking around.
I'm Kim Porter.
I'm one of Angus roach's
business partners.
Do you know roachie?
- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah, we're in on
the aquaculture farming together,
and we've got a couple
of other projects too.
- Right, I don't know which question
to ask you first.
- Roachie told me how to find you.
I'm here to meet with some surveyors
at deep creek.
And he wanted me to return this to you.
- Mm-hmm, thanks.
- And I learnt Russian
for a year at uni.
Well, actually I learnt
how to drink at uni,
but officially I was
enrolled in Russian.
- This is my deposit.
- Yeah, svety, I'll be Frank with you.
We've got another
investor coming on board.
He's got the money
now, and he wants in.
You were the only one
we were waiting on.
- But I told Angus, I'll
have the money by April.
- Yeah, it's a one in the hand
two in the bush sort of situation.
It's business, you know?
You understand?
Anyway, so where's that hotel
you were talking about?
I'm desperate for a drink.
- Cheers!
- To next time.
- Mm-hmm.
If there is a next time.
- Excuse me.
Kim speaking.
Oh, yeah, good day, Steve.
Yeah, look, we'll sit down with them
on Tuesday.
Why?
Because it's the Asia
pacific conference
this week, that's why.
Yeah.
No, last year, Plaza city.
Okay.
Yup, fabuloso.
Bye-bye.
Don't worry about deep creek,
you know, you're a smart woman.
You're going to do
okay, I know you are.
- How?
I don't know the right people.
- Well, you know me now.
- It's impossible.
I have two kids, the shop.
- Hey!
It never stopped me,
I've got three of the little buggers.
- You have three children?
- Mm-hmm, 18, 16 and 12.
Look, the 12-year-old's one boy,
isn't he gorgeous?
- Mm-hmm, and your husband?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I had to give
him his notice, unfortunately.
Too many offshore
investments apart from me.
Yeah, so I've done it all
on my own basically.
High school, holidays, the lot.
And I just bought my
eldest her first car.
- Wow.
- Mm-hmm.
- He still loves that bike.
I thought he'd be bored with it by now.
- It was good of you to buy it for him.
- Well, I know his parents
can't afford one.
He can only ride it
when he's here though.
- It gives him a good
reason to visit you,
I suppose.
I just don't want him on it all day,
neglecting his homework.
- He's a good boy, he's
doing well at school.
Kala, come here!
Kala!
- Did you see me, mum?
- I saw you, good.
We just have to go home, darling!
- You do what your mother
tells you, young man!
Discipline is something the parents
have got to teach, you know?
- Kala!
- I've got a mate in noranda
farming silver perch.
Yeah, he's doing bloody well at it too.
What have you got these for?
- I just picked some up, lying around.
It sounds like a good idea.
- It is if you got the start up funds.
You'd be way out of your depth.
- Oh, one day, you never know.
- Don't kid yourself.
You and Becky, you're
not business heads.
You just concentrate on
being a good mother.
- Can I come over again tomorrow?
- Well, you'll have to ask your mum.
I'll be seeing you soon enough anyway.
- Mum?
- I'm still invited over
for my birthday dinner?
- Yup.
- Good.
- Come on, kala.
- I'll be looking forward to it.
- Can I, mum?
Please?
- We'll see.
- See you.
- What should we have for dinner?
Sausages and mash, or
yummy fish fingers?
- Fish fingers are shit.
- Kara.
- All we ever have is shit.
I hate you.
- Geez, if this is just
the fishes finger,
imagine how big the
whole entire fish is.
- As big as a whale.
- Yes, as big as a wha...
Hang on a minute.
You haven't been serving
up whale blubber,
have you, sweetie?
- Ew, blubber!
- Oh, is it blubber?
- Yeah.
- Or is it jelly fish?
- Ground jelly fish.
- Yuck!
- Whoa!
- Ew! I love you
That's a big whale fish.
- Kara is right!
Everything you have is just shit!
Complete shit!
- Ah!
I scared you!
- What are you doing?
Get off!
- Get up!
- What about this?
Hey?
Want that?
- That's my nipples.
Stop it!
Oh, Hank no!
- Right!
- Hey! No!
Have some popcorn.
- Jesus.
How did I end up living
in a house full of blokes?
- Ow!
What are you doing?
- Can you at least bring
your dirty plates
into the kitchen?
- It's a go, bro,
going to take a dump.
- Have you got back to Mike Jones yet?
- No.
- Well, you're going to have to talk
to him you know?
- Yeah, I know how to
look after number one,
okay?
- Do you?
Because if you lie to
him, and he finds out...
- yeah, I know, mum.
I know.
- Planning a long screen
festival, are we?
- There's nothing else to do.
- What's noodle up to then?
- I don't know, I don't care.
- What about the brigade?
Are you quit or something?
- Maybe.
- Well, if you're so bored
around here,
why don't you get out?
Go somewhere, get a job.
- And where am I meant
to get a job, dad?
- I could talk to a mate of mine
up at airlie beach for you,
see what he can do.
- Yeah, sure you will.
- Jesus, sharpie,
throwing your younger son
out of the house is
not the answer here.
- I'm not throwing him out,
anyway, I thought you wanted him
to get away for a bit.
- I'd rather Hank went to airlie beach.
- Hank's on parole, he's
not going anywhere.
I can't win with you, can I?
- Where's Kieran gone?
- Nowhere.
- Oh, it's beautiful.
Come on little fella.
Oh!
Awe, he's gone.
- Hey doll.
- Hi!
- No time to talk, sorry.
We'll speak soon.
- Yeah, we'll speak soon.
Is sharpie up yet?
- No, he was after I yelled at him.
- Yeah mate, of course.
Oh, he'd love a bit of bar work,
anything really.
Oh, that's great, mate.
Thanks.
Good on you, baz, I'll
call you back tonight
to confirm it, okay?
You beaut, mate.
Bye.
You can start on Monday,
and you can live at the pub.
- Well, what if I don't want to go?
- It's a job in your lap, mate,
at airlie bloody beach.
- Yeah, and I'd probably stuff it up
on the first day.
- No you won't, it's a piece of piss.
- I'm not going.
- You want to bet?
- I'm not going.
- We'll talk about this.
- I'm not going!
- Yes, you are!
- Svety.
- Hi.
- Hi svety, come in.
- Is everything okay?
- Bloody Kieran!
- What's wrong with taking
a job at airlie beach?
- What kind of job?
- Barman, a mate of mine's
got a pub up there,
lucky bastard.
Well, some people are lucky always.
- Ourselves.
So, what brings you here?
You're the one to talk about who's
the lucky bastard.
You want to talk about
growing marijuana.
- The crop, how soon do
you think we'll be ready?
- Well, it'll be a couple
of weeks at least.
- A couple of weeks?
- You be patient, it's
going to be a bumper crop.
Everyone's screaming out for bush bugs.
- Not sooner?
- You know the old saying,
all good things come to those who wait.
- So, the crop, how good do you think
do you think it'll be?
- Well, it's hard to say until
I get it out on the market.
It's not a bloody straightforward
business venture, svety.
I can't give you a blood prospectus.
- No, no you can't.
- Mum, hi.
- I brought you some of your clothes.
Some baby stuff in there too.
- Ta.
- That one, you remember?
- Not really.
- You going to invite me in?
- No.
- Well, how you feeling then?
- Good, pregnant.
I have to go to the toilet
every five minutes.
- Well, Joey must be glad you decided
to move in with him.
- I decided.
Joey calls it the big
brother evictions.
So, how's Kieran then?
- Spending too much time
with Hank unfortunately.
- Mum, why don't you just
tell him to piss off?
- Fifi, you got Joey and the baby,
who's he got?
- So, how is he then?
- I don't know.
He's pretending to be cool,
but I reckon he's shitting himself.
- That bookie Starred
in that robbery, mum.
- There were three of them there, Fifi.
What makes you think
it was Hank's fault?
- I only got a look at him.
- Look, I can imagine why you did
what you did, fif.
But if Kieran gets dragged
further into this,
and it looks like he might.
- What are you talking about?
- You've got to go and see Mike.
You've got to retract your statement.
- I can't, it's too late.
- No, it's not.
Look, you're going to be
a mother yourself soon,
and you'll realize.
You do whatever you have to do
to protect your children.
- Mum, Kieran is not a kid anymore,
he's 18, he's an adult.
- No, he's not!
God, you sound just like your father.
You know, his solution
is to send him off
to some job in airlie
beach for Christ sake.
- What's wrong with that?
- What's wrong with that?
- Hank's probably going
to go back to jail.
You're living here,
and you want me to send
Kieran to queensland?
- All my choices, mum.
- Well, it's not what I choose for you.
- It is not about what you want, is it?
- I've got to go.
- Why don't you stay for a cup of tea?
- No, I've got to get back.
- You can keep on bashing
your way through it if you want to,
but it seems pointless to me.
- Well, this whole bloody walk
seems pointless to me.
- Oh, it was fun up to now.
- No, it wasn't, Perry.
We just wanted it to be fun.
- It's a good, positive attitude
you've got there.
You've been dipping into
the dalai lama again
have you?
- Christ, Perry, here we are
in this incredible place,
and we just bring all our crap with us!
- Oh, well, we can fix that.
Let's just leave it here, shall we?
Let's leave it!
Bye-bye!
Leave it all here.
Bye.
- What did you do that for?
- Why not?
- You know, the problem with us, Perry,
is us.
- What's that supposed to mean?
- I don't know, I'm
just so sick of myself.
I just want to get
away from everything.
- Yeah?
What, go back to Sydney?
- No, not that.
Just, I don't know.
I just want to find something,
some other way.
- Another way?
- Another way, another world.
- All right, well, let's
find another world then.
Mm-hmm?
- Okay, well, then it's
up to us, isn't it?
We've got to find a way
into another world.
- Another way into another world.
- Yes, like there.
- What?
- Here, here's a way in, here.
- Is it?
Here, look at it, it's a doorway.
- Funny, I never noticed it before.
- Well, that's because
it's a magic doorway,
and we just have to
move through it, okay?
It just appeared for us.
- I'm sorry, I'm just a
bit rusty on the details.
- That's obvious.
- Now, remind me again what happens
when we get through this magic doorway.
- You enter another dimension.
- Oh, right, a parallel dimension.
- No, no, no, just a different one.
One where anything's possible.
- Ah, a dimension without
moral consequence.
- No, you dickhead, it's not therapy.
It's just a magic dimension, you know?
Magic!
- Yeah, magic.
Woo! Ogiddy boogidy!
- Ogiddy boogidy!
Oggidy boogidy.
- I can do anything in this world.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
I could be anything.
- Anything?
- Yeah, I could be a
witch if I wanted to.
- Which witch?
- A bitch of a witch.
I could be a princess
too if I wanted to be.
- Princess, mm-hmm, makes me.
- Oh, see, you're getting it now.
I can do anything in here.
- Yeah.
- I could, I don't know, have a baby,
on my own, without a bloke.
- No father?
Well, that would solve a few problems.
- No mess, no fuss.
- It's got to be immaculate.
- Hey, guess what else is happening?
I am becoming magically funnier.
- Oh my god!
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh my god, you are too!
- I am.
- It's like Steve Martin
meets krusty the clown.
- It's invigorating,
and I feel positively
your contemporary.
- Thank god for that!
Thank god for that, Perry.
No more gray haired, grouchy guy.
It's Perry, the merry.
- Hey, that's magic for you, isn't it?
And you know what else
is even more magic?
You're laughing.
- Yes.
I'm laughing at you.
- You know what?
I bet you and kc will
get a whole series
of books out of today.
- Oh, didn't you hear that, kc?
Into a wrinkle in time,
into another dimension.
Couldn't contact her if I tried.
- Well, what happened
to the partnership?
- Well, I don't need it.
I can make up my own stories.
Remember that fun house up at the top?
I bet you there's a
few stories up there.
- Kim speaking.
- Kim, hi, it's svety.
- Ah, you caught me sneaking away.
- Kim, listen, I've been thinking.
- Oh well, somebody has to.
- I want you to wait for me
before you start with the fish.
I can definitely get
the money by April,
actually maybe even more money.
- That Asia pacific
conference starts tomorrow.
I've got to meet with my investors.
- No, I'm serious, I
wanted to speak to Angus.
- Angus and I, we're not
in this on our own.
You know, we've got responsibilities
to other people.
The whole business, it's
just seasonal, svety,
I'm sorry.
- Kim, please give me a break?
Someone must have given
you a break once.
- Well, yeah, once.
- Well, then give me one.
I need this, please give me a day.
Just one day.
- You can't raise that
sort of money in a day,
it's 25 grand.
- What if I could?
- Well, I don't know,
I guess I'd have to consider it.
Geez, you sound a bit like me.
- Then you'll give me a day?
- All right, just today.
- Yeah.
- Okay, but look, if you can't do it,
don't feel like you've
failed, all right?
- Okay, bye.
- That's the business
purposes declaration,
I told you about that, didn't I?
- Yeah.
- And how we looking for April?
That was when we agreed
on the first loan,
wasn't it?
- Oh, fine. Fine.
I can definitely pay off
the first loan then.
- Goodo.
All right, how are we going to do this?
I can't do cash for an
amount like 25,000.
- Yeah.
- So, do you want to
nominate an account,
or do you want a check?
- I'll nominate an account, yeah.
If I have the person I'm
doing the business with
meet me here,
can they access the funds?
- Straight away, yeah.
- Yeah?
Great.
- All right.
Well, while I'm waiting for him,
do you mind if I make a few calls?
- No, no.
- Come in.
- Sorry.
- This seems a bit dodgy to me.
- Oh, five steaks and
three salmons, isn't it?
- No, she's legit.
You'll have your money
today, don't worry.
- Hey, I'm more worried
about you actually.
- Yeah, I'll do a desert.
- We'll put the money straight
into your business account.
Just give her the account number.
- Sit down.
- You sure you really want to do this?
I don't think we should.
- Yeah, this is my chance.
- Yeah, but listen, listen, okay.
Just remember that it's
purely business, okay?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
I can't help but admire you, svety.
- The two white, and two
red, and some beer.
Yeah.
I don't bloody know.
Look, I've got to go.
Bye.
Hi, I'm val.
- Hi, val, Kim Porter.
- Wow, what do you think?
Three bed house.
- Oh, probably belongs
to some old crone.
- Oh, no, no.
My educated guess would
be a damsel in distress.
- Well, why don't we
find out, shall we?
- Hello, anybody home?
- Oh, hello, I'm lil.
Do come in.
- Thank you.
It's a lovely place you've got here.
You've done wonders with it.
It's magic.
Lil was it, did you say?
- Shh, quiet, you'll wake the baby.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
Where's the baby?
Oh.
- Here's the baby.
- He's cute, adorable.
- Took me so long to settle him today.
- Mm-hmm.
- Probably colic.
- Mm-hmm, or teething.
Has he got any teeth yet?
- Of course he's got teeth,
and his name is Michael.
- Michael, it's a bit
ordinary, isn't it?
I mean, shouldn't he be
called rumpelstiltskin
or something like that?
- No, no, no, too long
to fit on the labels
on the back of the clothes there.
- Oh, right.
True, you need to be
practical as well as magical
to be a single mother.
- What makes you think
I'm a single mother?
- Like your Michael.
He's got a name, he's got teeth,
and now a father appears
from the mists.
Who could that be, I wonder?
- He'll be home soon, my
husband, Mikey's father.
- Your husband?
- Mm-hmm, my husband.
Joey, Joey Burke.
He's got a name, and teeth, and lips.
- Oh.
- We met on a stroke
team fighting fires.
Well, we'd met a long time before that,
but that's when we had our first kiss.
- Just a kiss?
- Well, I could have slept with him
if I wanted to.
- Come on, what's the matter?
Don't you want to keep playing?
- Oh, god!
- God!
God?
Don't worry about him,
he's not listening.
- I'm going to have a shower.
- How's Fifi?
- She seems good.
- Good.
Mike Jones rang again.
He wants to do this interview,
Kieran alone with some d.
- Well, he could do it
from airlie on the phone
couldn't he?
Or with the cops up there?
- I thought you didn't want him to go.
- Oh, I didn't, but maybe
it'll be great for him.
I mean, he'll get away, have a job.
It could be really good for him.
- Baz said he could stay at the pub.
- Not much of a mother, am I?
- You, you are the best.
- Can't hang on to him,
can't let go of him.
- What are you talking about?
- Where's Kieran?
Is he packing?
- He doesn't want to go.
- You're joking, aren't you?
- No, I've got Hank in there now
trying to convince him.
- Well, how'd you do that?
- I said, if he didn't at least try
he could move out and find
a bloody caravan to live in.
- Would you stop
being such a pussy?
- I can't go anyway.
I've got to talk to the pigs.
- Yeah, you can do it from up there.
It'll be cool.
Yeah?
- Well, what are you
going to do around here
if I go?
- Get noodle over to entertain me.
- Oh, whatever, dickhead.
- Some bloody endless love that was.
- Shut up, Hank!
- Oh, shut up, Hank!
Jesus, you're pathetic.
- Hank, get out.
- First Fifi, and now me.
- Hank, just go, this isn't about you.
- Why is everyone so keen
for me to go to airlie?
- Cause it's an opportunity.
- For what?
- Who knows?
That's why it's an opportunity.
I've never been to airlie.
I've never been anywhere, really.
When I was 18, I was so pinned,
I could barely get from
the couch to the kitchen.
- Yeah, I know, mum.
- And when sharpie suggested this job,
I thought it was stupid.
But you know, it doesn't matter
if I think it's stupid.
It doesn't matter what
any of us think really.
- I know.
- You'll always be my little boy.
But you know, you're your own man now.
- Well, I don't know
anyone up there but...
- No, but you will.
- And what if I don't like it?
- Then you come home.
Whenever you want,
and I'll be bloody glad when you do.
- Hip hip!
- Hooray!
- Hip hip!
- Hooray!
- Hip hip!
- Hooray!
- Blow out your candles.
- Make a wish.
- Oh, I already have.
What's the latest?
- Mm-hmm?
- Has there been a fire?
- Yeah, two in the state forest.
I'm sorry mate, I'm not
going to be able to stay.
- That's okay.
We're going to have our cake and eat.
- Yum, cream and ice cream.
- Yes.
- And.
You've gone to a lot of fuss,
it's not like I'm turning 21.
- We're all celebrating tonight.
- Celebrating what?
- Hope for the future,
good fortune to come.
- You're not still dreaming
of making a fortune are you?
Well, here's a story for you.
After we last spoke,
I decided to give my mate,
Ross bladen a call.
- And who is Ross bladen?
- He is the bloke I was
telling you about.
The bloke that was in sheep farming,
and decided to take up perch farming.
- And?
- Well, he's gone belly up.
All of his fish died a
couple of months ago,
lost everything.
- Mm-hmm, what happened?
- Water salinity, bloody
hard to get it right.
- Yeah, it is.
- I should think that's a problem
with most of the water around here.
- Not if you use deep creek.
- I don't know,
but you'd never get the water rights
for deep creek.
- Why wouldn't you?
- Because most of the
adjoining properties
are on crown land.
You can't possibly take all that water
and use it for private enterprise.
Too many areas depend on it.
- Is that right?
- Well, of course it is.
Even if you did get the water rights,
you'd still have to
rezone by the creek,
major legal challenge.
Take you a bloody lifetime.
- Thank you, svety.
That was very nice.
Excessive, but nice.
Bye gaff.
- See you, Jeff.
If anyone calls, I'm on
my way to the station.
- Yeah, good luck.
- The mobile number you have called
has been disconnected.
Please check the number
before trying again.
- Angus, it's svety.
Can you please call me
as soon as you can?
It's very important.
- Plaza hotel, may I help you?
- I need to speak to
whoever is organizing
the aquaculture conference this week.
- I'm sorry, there's no
aquaculture conference
happening here.
- Can I speak to Kim Porter
or Angus roach, please?
- Kim Porter or Angus roach.
I'm sorry, neither miss
Porter or mr roach
are registered at this
hotel at the moment.
- Okay.
- I've been told to
pass on any inquiries
to detective sergeant Morris.
Perhaps I could take a message...
- so, you're not going
to see me off, mum.
- No, no.
Your father can do that.
You don't want your
mum standing around,
blubbering all over the platform.
- Can you take that back for me?
- Yeah, sure, and that's
just to tide you over
until your first paycheck.
Don't let us keep you away
for those two months, darling.
- Well, I'll call you.
- When?
- I don't know.
When you got a spare minute.
- Hank doesn't mean that stuff he said.
- I know.
- Bye, mum.
- See you, honey.
Take care.
- Thanks.
- Come on, love.
I'll get you a beer.
- He get off okay then?
- Fine.
Think he's kind of excited now.
Noodle stayed until the train left.
- Yeah.
- Good, that's nice.
- Glass of wine?
- Why not?
- Do you want any dinner?
- Nope.
- Come on, let's go to bed?
Mm-hmm?
It'll be good for us.
I can't think of what else to do.
- I don't think I can
go to bed with you.
I think it's going to be the last time.
- Then just don't think about it.
Oh, I have to go to the
fire station, sorry.
- Lil?
- I have to go.
- Will your husband be
fighting fires with you?
- My husband is here.
- Is he?
- I don't know.
No.

- Svetlana.
- I'm Angus, call me roachie.
- What are you doing
in this hick town?
- Well, we're making a
shit load of money.
- That's what we're doing.
- Now, collateral.
- That's your guarantee?
Yeah, and the collateral is,
Mike will do the shop?
- Mm-hmm, bricks and mortar.
- Yup.
- The advance
we talked about?
- Got it right here, 3,000.
The check for the other 12,000
will be here next week.
- We all reckon you did it.
- Kieran was with me, weren't you?
- Yeah, shooting moments.
- You're both such
hopeless, bloody liars.
- I want you and Joe out of this house
by the morning.
- Last time I saw you,
you were sitting out the back sulking.
- You mention the word
child or pregnancy,
and I swear I will throttle you.
- This is ridiculous behavior.
- Oh.
- I need you.
- You don't bloody need me.
- I do.
- You're a man with a heart

- How did you sleep?
- How about we don't do anymore talking
until we have something new to say?
Mm-hmm?
Let's just enjoy the silence.
That's why we moved
out here for anyway.
- Mm-hmm.
- Thanks.
- Gorgeous day.
- Unbelievable.
- This fish looks delicious.
Did you get it at fox cove?
- Yeah.
- Snapper.
- Appropriate, isn't it?
- All right, we've
talked about the weather
and the food,
all pretty textbook for
a couple in crisis.
I suppose now, it's just
back to the weather again.
What do you think?
Think it's going to keep raining?
- Don't, Perry.
- No, I know, I know.
The sounds of silence.
- I'm sorry, it was a
stupid thing to say.
No, no.
No, it's not.
No talk.
Okay, no talk, but let's walk.
A bush walk.
- What, now?
- No, not now, at the weekend.
Well, let's go for a walk around here,
like we used to.
It'll be beautiful,
we'll be beautiful.
The bush will be beautiful.
- Okay.
- Even if it keeps raining.
What do you think, lil?
You think it will keep raining?
- That's not funny.
- No, it's not funny.
- Hey, Beck.
- Yeah.
- Good drying day.
- Yeah, come to give me
a hand then have you?
- So, is young Kieran about?
- No, he's not.
- I've just got to organize
a time to interview him.
- You've already spoken
to him, haven't you?
- Yeah, but got to go
have a couple of pints.
He's Hank's alibi, you understand?
- Yeah, sure, it must get a bit dull
harassing the same sharp all the time.
- Look, Beck...
I'm sure you're worried
about both your boys.
- Are you now?
- I just don't want Kieran following
his brothers footsteps.
Now he's 18 now.
If he was involved in
that robbery and assault,
it's not good.
- Yeah, I better take this lot in.
I'll tell Kieran you came round.
- Look, Beck, I'm sure
me running up like this
is every mother's worst nightmare.
- You couldn't begin to imagine
my worst nightmare, constable.
- Morning, angel.
- Am I expected to clean
this lot up then?
- Well, you're doing it, aren't you?
- Where's Kieran?
- How would I know?
I'm not his boss, am I?
- You better not be.
- Oh god, get off me back.
We're brothers, not the bloody mafia.
- Leave that, it's Fifi's.
- So?
It's only a t-shirt.
- Just leave it!
You see this?
I don't want to be
shoving Kieran's clothes
into some dirty old
plastic shopping bag,
and carry him off to some stinking
prison one day.
He's my baby, Hank.
He wouldn't survive it,
and it would bloody well kill me.
- See this, this is my wallet,
with my bloody money in it.
I can look after myself.
Oh, and guess what?
Your precious little
baby, Kieran can too.
Rent, mine and Kieran's.
Don't you bring that money in here!
- The boy's were up late last night.
Thick as thieves, those two.
- Well, according to Mike Jones,
that's exactly what they are.
He wants to interview Kieran now.
- Yeah?
Oh, Kieran's all right,
he can look after himself.
- What?
- It's boys, Beck.
They all go off the rails a bit at 18.
He'll be okay.
- Yeah, he's 18, he's old
enough to go to prison.
- Well, what do you
want me to do about it?
Look him up in his bedroom?
- I don't know, do something.
For Christ sake, give him some options.
- He wouldn't listen to me anyway.
- Then lay down the law.
Be a bloody father,
and put your own clothes
away for a change.
- You speak Russian.
- Bloody badly unless
you understood me.
Was right,
you are a bit of spunk
aren't you?
- Sorry?
- I'm sorry, I'm just mucking around.
I'm Kim Porter.
I'm one of Angus roach's
business partners.
Do you know roachie?
- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah, we're in on
the aquaculture farming together,
and we've got a couple
of other projects too.
- Right, I don't know which question
to ask you first.
- Roachie told me how to find you.
I'm here to meet with some surveyors
at deep creek.
And he wanted me to return this to you.
- Mm-hmm, thanks.
- And I learnt Russian
for a year at uni.
Well, actually I learnt
how to drink at uni,
but officially I was
enrolled in Russian.
- This is my deposit.
- Yeah, svety, I'll be Frank with you.
We've got another
investor coming on board.
He's got the money
now, and he wants in.
You were the only one
we were waiting on.
- But I told Angus, I'll
have the money by April.
- Yeah, it's a one in the hand
two in the bush sort of situation.
It's business, you know?
You understand?
Anyway, so where's that hotel
you were talking about?
I'm desperate for a drink.
- Cheers!
- To next time.
- Mm-hmm.
If there is a next time.
- Excuse me.
Kim speaking.
Oh, yeah, good day, Steve.
Yeah, look, we'll sit down with them
on Tuesday.
Why?
Because it's the Asia
pacific conference
this week, that's why.
Yeah.
No, last year, Plaza city.
Okay.
Yup, fabuloso.
Bye-bye.
Don't worry about deep creek,
you know, you're a smart woman.
You're going to do
okay, I know you are.
- How?
I don't know the right people.
- Well, you know me now.
- It's impossible.
I have two kids, the shop.
- Hey!
It never stopped me,
I've got three of the little buggers.
- You have three children?
- Mm-hmm, 18, 16 and 12.
Look, the 12-year-old's one boy,
isn't he gorgeous?
- Mm-hmm, and your husband?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I had to give
him his notice, unfortunately.
Too many offshore
investments apart from me.
Yeah, so I've done it all
on my own basically.
High school, holidays, the lot.
And I just bought my
eldest her first car.
- Wow.
- Mm-hmm.
- He still loves that bike.
I thought he'd be bored with it by now.
- It was good of you to buy it for him.
- Well, I know his parents
can't afford one.
He can only ride it
when he's here though.
- It gives him a good
reason to visit you,
I suppose.
I just don't want him on it all day,
neglecting his homework.
- He's a good boy, he's
doing well at school.
Kala, come here!
Kala!
- Did you see me, mum?
- I saw you, good.
We just have to go home, darling!
- You do what your mother
tells you, young man!
Discipline is something the parents
have got to teach, you know?
- Kala!
- I've got a mate in noranda
farming silver perch.
Yeah, he's doing bloody well at it too.
What have you got these for?
- I just picked some up, lying around.
It sounds like a good idea.
- It is if you got the start up funds.
You'd be way out of your depth.
- Oh, one day, you never know.
- Don't kid yourself.
You and Becky, you're
not business heads.
You just concentrate on
being a good mother.
- Can I come over again tomorrow?
- Well, you'll have to ask your mum.
I'll be seeing you soon enough anyway.
- Mum?
- I'm still invited over
for my birthday dinner?
- Yup.
- Good.
- Come on, kala.
- I'll be looking forward to it.
- Can I, mum?
Please?
- We'll see.
- See you.
- What should we have for dinner?
Sausages and mash, or
yummy fish fingers?
- Fish fingers are shit.
- Kara.
- All we ever have is shit.
I hate you.
- Geez, if this is just
the fishes finger,
imagine how big the
whole entire fish is.
- As big as a whale.
- Yes, as big as a wha...
Hang on a minute.
You haven't been serving
up whale blubber,
have you, sweetie?
- Ew, blubber!
- Oh, is it blubber?
- Yeah.
- Or is it jelly fish?
- Ground jelly fish.
- Yuck!
- Whoa!
- Ew! I love you
That's a big whale fish.
- Kara is right!
Everything you have is just shit!
Complete shit!
- Ah!
I scared you!
- What are you doing?
Get off!
- Get up!
- What about this?
Hey?
Want that?
- That's my nipples.
Stop it!
Oh, Hank no!
- Right!
- Hey! No!
Have some popcorn.
- Jesus.
How did I end up living
in a house full of blokes?
- Ow!
What are you doing?
- Can you at least bring
your dirty plates
into the kitchen?
- It's a go, bro,
going to take a dump.
- Have you got back to Mike Jones yet?
- No.
- Well, you're going to have to talk
to him you know?
- Yeah, I know how to
look after number one,
okay?
- Do you?
Because if you lie to
him, and he finds out...
- yeah, I know, mum.
I know.
- Planning a long screen
festival, are we?
- There's nothing else to do.
- What's noodle up to then?
- I don't know, I don't care.
- What about the brigade?
Are you quit or something?
- Maybe.
- Well, if you're so bored
around here,
why don't you get out?
Go somewhere, get a job.
- And where am I meant
to get a job, dad?
- I could talk to a mate of mine
up at airlie beach for you,
see what he can do.
- Yeah, sure you will.
- Jesus, sharpie,
throwing your younger son
out of the house is
not the answer here.
- I'm not throwing him out,
anyway, I thought you wanted him
to get away for a bit.
- I'd rather Hank went to airlie beach.
- Hank's on parole, he's
not going anywhere.
I can't win with you, can I?
- Where's Kieran gone?
- Nowhere.
- Oh, it's beautiful.
Come on little fella.
Oh!
Awe, he's gone.
- Hey doll.
- Hi!
- No time to talk, sorry.
We'll speak soon.
- Yeah, we'll speak soon.
Is sharpie up yet?
- No, he was after I yelled at him.
- Yeah mate, of course.
Oh, he'd love a bit of bar work,
anything really.
Oh, that's great, mate.
Thanks.
Good on you, baz, I'll
call you back tonight
to confirm it, okay?
You beaut, mate.
Bye.
You can start on Monday,
and you can live at the pub.
- Well, what if I don't want to go?
- It's a job in your lap, mate,
at airlie bloody beach.
- Yeah, and I'd probably stuff it up
on the first day.
- No you won't, it's a piece of piss.
- I'm not going.
- You want to bet?
- I'm not going.
- We'll talk about this.
- I'm not going!
- Yes, you are!
- Svety.
- Hi.
- Hi svety, come in.
- Is everything okay?
- Bloody Kieran!
- What's wrong with taking
a job at airlie beach?
- What kind of job?
- Barman, a mate of mine's
got a pub up there,
lucky bastard.
Well, some people are lucky always.
- Ourselves.
So, what brings you here?
You're the one to talk about who's
the lucky bastard.
You want to talk about
growing marijuana.
- The crop, how soon do
you think we'll be ready?
- Well, it'll be a couple
of weeks at least.
- A couple of weeks?
- You be patient, it's
going to be a bumper crop.
Everyone's screaming out for bush bugs.
- Not sooner?
- You know the old saying,
all good things come to those who wait.
- So, the crop, how good do you think
do you think it'll be?
- Well, it's hard to say until
I get it out on the market.
It's not a bloody straightforward
business venture, svety.
I can't give you a blood prospectus.
- No, no you can't.
- Mum, hi.
- I brought you some of your clothes.
Some baby stuff in there too.
- Ta.
- That one, you remember?
- Not really.
- You going to invite me in?
- No.
- Well, how you feeling then?
- Good, pregnant.
I have to go to the toilet
every five minutes.
- Well, Joey must be glad you decided
to move in with him.
- I decided.
Joey calls it the big
brother evictions.
So, how's Kieran then?
- Spending too much time
with Hank unfortunately.
- Mum, why don't you just
tell him to piss off?
- Fifi, you got Joey and the baby,
who's he got?
- So, how is he then?
- I don't know.
He's pretending to be cool,
but I reckon he's shitting himself.
- That bookie Starred
in that robbery, mum.
- There were three of them there, Fifi.
What makes you think
it was Hank's fault?
- I only got a look at him.
- Look, I can imagine why you did
what you did, fif.
But if Kieran gets dragged
further into this,
and it looks like he might.
- What are you talking about?
- You've got to go and see Mike.
You've got to retract your statement.
- I can't, it's too late.
- No, it's not.
Look, you're going to be
a mother yourself soon,
and you'll realize.
You do whatever you have to do
to protect your children.
- Mum, Kieran is not a kid anymore,
he's 18, he's an adult.
- No, he's not!
God, you sound just like your father.
You know, his solution
is to send him off
to some job in airlie
beach for Christ sake.
- What's wrong with that?
- What's wrong with that?
- Hank's probably going
to go back to jail.
You're living here,
and you want me to send
Kieran to queensland?
- All my choices, mum.
- Well, it's not what I choose for you.
- It is not about what you want, is it?
- I've got to go.
- Why don't you stay for a cup of tea?
- No, I've got to get back.
- You can keep on bashing
your way through it if you want to,
but it seems pointless to me.
- Well, this whole bloody walk
seems pointless to me.
- Oh, it was fun up to now.
- No, it wasn't, Perry.
We just wanted it to be fun.
- It's a good, positive attitude
you've got there.
You've been dipping into
the dalai lama again
have you?
- Christ, Perry, here we are
in this incredible place,
and we just bring all our crap with us!
- Oh, well, we can fix that.
Let's just leave it here, shall we?
Let's leave it!
Bye-bye!
Leave it all here.
Bye.
- What did you do that for?
- Why not?
- You know, the problem with us, Perry,
is us.
- What's that supposed to mean?
- I don't know, I'm
just so sick of myself.
I just want to get
away from everything.
- Yeah?
What, go back to Sydney?
- No, not that.
Just, I don't know.
I just want to find something,
some other way.
- Another way?
- Another way, another world.
- All right, well, let's
find another world then.
Mm-hmm?
- Okay, well, then it's
up to us, isn't it?
We've got to find a way
into another world.
- Another way into another world.
- Yes, like there.
- What?
- Here, here's a way in, here.
- Is it?
Here, look at it, it's a doorway.
- Funny, I never noticed it before.
- Well, that's because
it's a magic doorway,
and we just have to
move through it, okay?
It just appeared for us.
- I'm sorry, I'm just a
bit rusty on the details.
- That's obvious.
- Now, remind me again what happens
when we get through this magic doorway.
- You enter another dimension.
- Oh, right, a parallel dimension.
- No, no, no, just a different one.
One where anything's possible.
- Ah, a dimension without
moral consequence.
- No, you dickhead, it's not therapy.
It's just a magic dimension, you know?
Magic!
- Yeah, magic.
Woo! Ogiddy boogidy!
- Ogiddy boogidy!
Oggidy boogidy.
- I can do anything in this world.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
I could be anything.
- Anything?
- Yeah, I could be a
witch if I wanted to.
- Which witch?
- A bitch of a witch.
I could be a princess
too if I wanted to be.
- Princess, mm-hmm, makes me.
- Oh, see, you're getting it now.
I can do anything in here.
- Yeah.
- I could, I don't know, have a baby,
on my own, without a bloke.
- No father?
Well, that would solve a few problems.
- No mess, no fuss.
- It's got to be immaculate.
- Hey, guess what else is happening?
I am becoming magically funnier.
- Oh my god!
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh my god, you are too!
- I am.
- It's like Steve Martin
meets krusty the clown.
- It's invigorating,
and I feel positively
your contemporary.
- Thank god for that!
Thank god for that, Perry.
No more gray haired, grouchy guy.
It's Perry, the merry.
- Hey, that's magic for you, isn't it?
And you know what else
is even more magic?
You're laughing.
- Yes.
I'm laughing at you.
- You know what?
I bet you and kc will
get a whole series
of books out of today.
- Oh, didn't you hear that, kc?
Into a wrinkle in time,
into another dimension.
Couldn't contact her if I tried.
- Well, what happened
to the partnership?
- Well, I don't need it.
I can make up my own stories.
Remember that fun house up at the top?
I bet you there's a
few stories up there.
- Kim speaking.
- Kim, hi, it's svety.
- Ah, you caught me sneaking away.
- Kim, listen, I've been thinking.
- Oh well, somebody has to.
- I want you to wait for me
before you start with the fish.
I can definitely get
the money by April,
actually maybe even more money.
- That Asia pacific
conference starts tomorrow.
I've got to meet with my investors.
- No, I'm serious, I
wanted to speak to Angus.
- Angus and I, we're not
in this on our own.
You know, we've got responsibilities
to other people.
The whole business, it's
just seasonal, svety,
I'm sorry.
- Kim, please give me a break?
Someone must have given
you a break once.
- Well, yeah, once.
- Well, then give me one.
I need this, please give me a day.
Just one day.
- You can't raise that
sort of money in a day,
it's 25 grand.
- What if I could?
- Well, I don't know,
I guess I'd have to consider it.
Geez, you sound a bit like me.
- Then you'll give me a day?
- All right, just today.
- Yeah.
- Okay, but look, if you can't do it,
don't feel like you've
failed, all right?
- Okay, bye.
- That's the business
purposes declaration,
I told you about that, didn't I?
- Yeah.
- And how we looking for April?
That was when we agreed
on the first loan,
wasn't it?
- Oh, fine. Fine.
I can definitely pay off
the first loan then.
- Goodo.
All right, how are we going to do this?
I can't do cash for an
amount like 25,000.
- Yeah.
- So, do you want to
nominate an account,
or do you want a check?
- I'll nominate an account, yeah.
If I have the person I'm
doing the business with
meet me here,
can they access the funds?
- Straight away, yeah.
- Yeah?
Great.
- All right.
Well, while I'm waiting for him,
do you mind if I make a few calls?
- No, no.
- Come in.
- Sorry.
- This seems a bit dodgy to me.
- Oh, five steaks and
three salmons, isn't it?
- No, she's legit.
You'll have your money
today, don't worry.
- Hey, I'm more worried
about you actually.
- Yeah, I'll do a desert.
- We'll put the money straight
into your business account.
Just give her the account number.
- Sit down.
- You sure you really want to do this?
I don't think we should.
- Yeah, this is my chance.
- Yeah, but listen, listen, okay.
Just remember that it's
purely business, okay?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
I can't help but admire you, svety.
- The two white, and two
red, and some beer.
Yeah.
I don't bloody know.
Look, I've got to go.
Bye.
Hi, I'm val.
- Hi, val, Kim Porter.
- Wow, what do you think?
Three bed house.
- Oh, probably belongs
to some old crone.
- Oh, no, no.
My educated guess would
be a damsel in distress.
- Well, why don't we
find out, shall we?
- Hello, anybody home?
- Oh, hello, I'm lil.
Do come in.
- Thank you.
It's a lovely place you've got here.
You've done wonders with it.
It's magic.
Lil was it, did you say?
- Shh, quiet, you'll wake the baby.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
Where's the baby?
Oh.
- Here's the baby.
- He's cute, adorable.
- Took me so long to settle him today.
- Mm-hmm.
- Probably colic.
- Mm-hmm, or teething.
Has he got any teeth yet?
- Of course he's got teeth,
and his name is Michael.
- Michael, it's a bit
ordinary, isn't it?
I mean, shouldn't he be
called rumpelstiltskin
or something like that?
- No, no, no, too long
to fit on the labels
on the back of the clothes there.
- Oh, right.
True, you need to be
practical as well as magical
to be a single mother.
- What makes you think
I'm a single mother?
- Like your Michael.
He's got a name, he's got teeth,
and now a father appears
from the mists.
Who could that be, I wonder?
- He'll be home soon, my
husband, Mikey's father.
- Your husband?
- Mm-hmm, my husband.
Joey, Joey Burke.
He's got a name, and teeth, and lips.
- Oh.
- We met on a stroke
team fighting fires.
Well, we'd met a long time before that,
but that's when we had our first kiss.
- Just a kiss?
- Well, I could have slept with him
if I wanted to.
- Come on, what's the matter?
Don't you want to keep playing?
- Oh, god!
- God!
God?
Don't worry about him,
he's not listening.
- I'm going to have a shower.
- How's Fifi?
- She seems good.
- Good.
Mike Jones rang again.
He wants to do this interview,
Kieran alone with some d.
- Well, he could do it
from airlie on the phone
couldn't he?
Or with the cops up there?
- I thought you didn't want him to go.
- Oh, I didn't, but maybe
it'll be great for him.
I mean, he'll get away, have a job.
It could be really good for him.
- Baz said he could stay at the pub.
- Not much of a mother, am I?
- You, you are the best.
- Can't hang on to him,
can't let go of him.
- What are you talking about?
- Where's Kieran?
Is he packing?
- He doesn't want to go.
- You're joking, aren't you?
- No, I've got Hank in there now
trying to convince him.
- Well, how'd you do that?
- I said, if he didn't at least try
he could move out and find
a bloody caravan to live in.
- Would you stop
being such a pussy?
- I can't go anyway.
I've got to talk to the pigs.
- Yeah, you can do it from up there.
It'll be cool.
Yeah?
- Well, what are you
going to do around here
if I go?
- Get noodle over to entertain me.
- Oh, whatever, dickhead.
- Some bloody endless love that was.
- Shut up, Hank!
- Oh, shut up, Hank!
Jesus, you're pathetic.
- Hank, get out.
- First Fifi, and now me.
- Hank, just go, this isn't about you.
- Why is everyone so keen
for me to go to airlie?
- Cause it's an opportunity.
- For what?
- Who knows?
That's why it's an opportunity.
I've never been to airlie.
I've never been anywhere, really.
When I was 18, I was so pinned,
I could barely get from
the couch to the kitchen.
- Yeah, I know, mum.
- And when sharpie suggested this job,
I thought it was stupid.
But you know, it doesn't matter
if I think it's stupid.
It doesn't matter what
any of us think really.
- I know.
- You'll always be my little boy.
But you know, you're your own man now.
- Well, I don't know
anyone up there but...
- No, but you will.
- And what if I don't like it?
- Then you come home.
Whenever you want,
and I'll be bloody glad when you do.
- Hip hip!
- Hooray!
- Hip hip!
- Hooray!
- Hip hip!
- Hooray!
- Blow out your candles.
- Make a wish.
- Oh, I already have.
What's the latest?
- Mm-hmm?
- Has there been a fire?
- Yeah, two in the state forest.
I'm sorry mate, I'm not
going to be able to stay.
- That's okay.
We're going to have our cake and eat.
- Yum, cream and ice cream.
- Yes.
- And.
You've gone to a lot of fuss,
it's not like I'm turning 21.
- We're all celebrating tonight.
- Celebrating what?
- Hope for the future,
good fortune to come.
- You're not still dreaming
of making a fortune are you?
Well, here's a story for you.
After we last spoke,
I decided to give my mate,
Ross bladen a call.
- And who is Ross bladen?
- He is the bloke I was
telling you about.
The bloke that was in sheep farming,
and decided to take up perch farming.
- And?
- Well, he's gone belly up.
All of his fish died a
couple of months ago,
lost everything.
- Mm-hmm, what happened?
- Water salinity, bloody
hard to get it right.
- Yeah, it is.
- I should think that's a problem
with most of the water around here.
- Not if you use deep creek.
- I don't know,
but you'd never get the water rights
for deep creek.
- Why wouldn't you?
- Because most of the
adjoining properties
are on crown land.
You can't possibly take all that water
and use it for private enterprise.
Too many areas depend on it.
- Is that right?
- Well, of course it is.
Even if you did get the water rights,
you'd still have to
rezone by the creek,
major legal challenge.
Take you a bloody lifetime.
- Thank you, svety.
That was very nice.
Excessive, but nice.
Bye gaff.
- See you, Jeff.
If anyone calls, I'm on
my way to the station.
- Yeah, good luck.
- The mobile number you have called
has been disconnected.
Please check the number
before trying again.
- Angus, it's svety.
Can you please call me
as soon as you can?
It's very important.
- Plaza hotel, may I help you?
- I need to speak to
whoever is organizing
the aquaculture conference this week.
- I'm sorry, there's no
aquaculture conference
happening here.
- Can I speak to Kim Porter
or Angus roach, please?
- Kim Porter or Angus roach.
I'm sorry, neither miss
Porter or mr roach
are registered at this
hotel at the moment.
- Okay.
- I've been told to
pass on any inquiries
to detective sergeant Morris.
Perhaps I could take a message...
- so, you're not going
to see me off, mum.
- No, no.
Your father can do that.
You don't want your
mum standing around,
blubbering all over the platform.
- Can you take that back for me?
- Yeah, sure, and that's
just to tide you over
until your first paycheck.
Don't let us keep you away
for those two months, darling.
- Well, I'll call you.
- When?
- I don't know.
When you got a spare minute.
- Hank doesn't mean that stuff he said.
- I know.
- Bye, mum.
- See you, honey.
Take care.
- Thanks.
- Come on, love.
I'll get you a beer.
- He get off okay then?
- Fine.
Think he's kind of excited now.
Noodle stayed until the train left.
- Yeah.
- Good, that's nice.
- Glass of wine?
- Why not?
- Do you want any dinner?
- Nope.
- Come on, let's go to bed?
Mm-hmm?
It'll be good for us.
I can't think of what else to do.
- I don't think I can
go to bed with you.
I think it's going to be the last time.
- Then just don't think about it.
Oh, I have to go to the
fire station, sorry.
- Lil?
- I have to go.
- Will your husband be
fighting fires with you?
- My husband is here.
- Is he?
- I don't know.
No.
