Packed to the Rafters (2008–2013): Season 5, Episode 15 - Moments of Clarity - full transcript

Some days, we feel
we have all the answers.

And other days, it's like
we're groping in the dark.

♪ What do you do
When you love someone ♪

♪ And you don't know why ♪

♪ You're doing it
The hard way ♪

♪ What if it's... ♪

And what we need
is clarity

to know for certain
what's really going on.

Bloody light.

You having a garage sale?



Ah, no,
Matt's moving out.

Had enough
of his guitar, eh?

Oh, it was his smelly feet
that broke me.

No, a room's come up
at Jake's.

-Oh, who's moving out?
-Alex, apparently.

-Gone to his mum's.
-But he just moved in.

Oh, don't worry,
we can't keep up either.

Do you want me to make you
some breakfast, Dad?

Ah, no, thanks, love,
I'm not hungry just yet.

You been feeling okay?

-Yeah of course. Why?
-Well, you just seem like

you're a bit
out of sorts lately.

No, no I'm good.

Hey, Dave, I might need
to borrow some tools



to fix that reading lamp
of mine.

Yeah, no worries.
I'll check it out later.

No, no, I've fixed it before.

-I'm not past it yet.
-Morning, Tedster.

Jake said I could only
borrow his ute for an hour,

so give us a hand
with that lot, would you, Jules?

- Ah.
- There you go.

You know, I'm really gonna
miss you and your guitar.

What about these?

Yeah,
those I can live without.

Oh, you must be rapt
I'm out of your hair.

Well, you spent most
of the last three days

-at Carbo's anyway.
-Yeah, it's the bigger TV.

I doubt you had much time
for telly.

I've heard Voula's
quite demanding.

Yes, well, I bet she doesn't
do your washing for you.

That, she did not.

-You are the best J-Curve.

Anyway, you guys
have been great.

Anytime you need
somewhere to stay,

-happy to top and tail.
-We'll keep it in mind.

-I believe these are yours.
-Ah, good man.

I found them
by the back door.

-Yeah, airing.
-Airing.

Well, thanks again.

-See you real soon.
-Bye.

-Not if Voula sees you first.

Oh, morning, Ted,
you're looking chipper.

Just happy to be here, mate.

At the Boat Club?

On the good ship
Planet Earth, Donna.

What brought this on?

Oh, I'm just feeling useful
I think. Relevant.

I thought you might have
had some test results.

What tests?

You know, the diagnostic tests
you've been doing

-with your doctor.
-What are you talking about?

-Gotcha.
-Oh, Ted, it's not funny!

-This is serious.

Look, if I've still got
my sense of humor,

I've got my mind,
and I don't plan

on losing either
any time soon.

So it's good news?

Still no conclusive evidence,

and I'm taking no news
as good news.

Then no reason not
to share it with your family.

-That's right.
-Mm.

I've been worrying
about nothing.

As a matter of fact,
I even remember why I'm here.

Shopping.
Can I get something for you

-and Emma while I'm out?
-Are you going near the Deli?

-I am.
-Oh, good.

I've got a list here
somewhere.

I thought I might make
a meal for someone,

nothing special,
just something simple.

I mean, it's not as if
I haven't made a hundred meals

for him before, so why should
this one be any different?

Breathe, Donna. Breathe.

It's Emma's father, Mark.

He's staying with us
temporarily

while he house hunts.

So, is this a good thing?

Well, Emma thinks so.

But me, I'm not so sure.

Well, my advice is be clear
on what you want

-and take things slowly.
-You're right.

And a simple meal
is the perfect way to start.

So hand it over.

Come to check
for track marks, have you?

Well, go ahead, have...
have a look.

You brought that on yourself,
mate. I gave you fair warning.

Yeah, but why did you
have to tell Mum?

'Cause she can keep
a closer eye on you than I can.

Yeah, you're not kidding.

She put a house arrest
bracelet on me.

Seriously, you've got
to get me out of here.

I... I'm pretty sure
I heard Mum and Doug

doing it last night.

That's a punishment
no one deserves.

Hmm, exactly.

What are you doing here
anyway?

I'm...

going to see Jim.

He's out of hospital.

I don't suppose
you want to come?

He's sick, Al.
He probably won't be around

-for much longer.
-So what?

I'm just being upfront
with you.

Trying not to sneak around.
It's been kind of good

-getting to know him.
-What do you want? A medal?

I'm not...
I'm not going to sell out

-just because you have.
-And seeing him doesn't mean

I don't care
about what you think.

But he's not a bad guy.
Well, he's not all bad.

Come on, Al, come with me.

I take it that's a no then?

The nurses told me,

you came to see me
in hospital.

Yeah.

I'm sorry I wouldn't
have been much company.

No, that's cool.
I was happy just to sit.

Your mum says Alex
is having a hard time.

Back home with her, is he?

Yeah. House arrest.

He's a bit old
to be grounded.

-What's he been up to?
-Oh, long story.

Sure, yeah, yeah.

Let's just say
he takes after you.

-How?
-Well, he likes a drink.

I haven't had a drink,
nearly 15 years.

You look out for your brother,
don't you?

Well, I guess you had to,
being man of the house.

Sometimes,
those moments of clarity

can hurt like hell.

Well, that one's
just around the corner.

Ah, but this one has
a spare room for my little girl.

Oh, it's two suburbs away.

So? You're not still riding
that little pink trike,

are you?
You do have a car.

Oh, Ted.

I'd like you to meet my Dad.

-Oh.
-Mark. Good to meet you.

Same here.

Ah, Donna says you might be
moving back to Sydney?

Yeah that's the plan
if I can find a place

that's good enough
for Madam here.

Ah-ha.
Well, I better put these down

-before my arm falls off.
-Yeah.

-Nice to meet you.

-Seems like a nice fellow.
-Mm, yes, he's lovely.

Look, I couldn't get
the real saffron

so I got
the imitation one instead.

Thanks.

And they were sold out
of pork, so I got a live pig.

You'll have to slaughter it
yourself.

Good.

-Are you all right?
-I'm a bit tense.

-Is it obvious?
- Now just a bit.

It's good to see Emma smiling.

Oh, it is. It's wonderful,
it really is.

But you've got to look
after yourself too.

I mean, if having Mark around
means you're going to slip

-back into your old habits--
-I won't!

I'm completely relaxed.

I'm as relaxed as relaxed--

I'll just go and get the rest
of the groceries from the car.

Boots. He lives and breathes.

Barely.

Mate, no one's seen you
for three days.

Where have you been?
Turkish prison?

-Try Greek.
-Greek?

-Voula, still?
-Yep.

What happened
to Run-Run Jennings?

Flees the scene so fast,
he leaves burn marks

-on the carpet.
-I'm still that guy.

The Houdini
of one-night stands.

When the door's locked,
go through the window.

Hey, a chick could sleep
in a bank vault and I'd still

-find my way out.
-What happened this time?

She just wouldn't let me
out of there.

-What?
-I was so desperate by the end,

I had to use
my famous line.

What? "Once a week I help out
at the old people's home.

It's hard, tiring work--"

"But if it makes
one person happy..."

"It's all worth it."

Geez. Well, being a sex slave
for three days,

it can't have been that bad.

Well, you weren't there,
Cobes.

Even for a seasoned pro
like me, it's the sort of hell

you would never go back to.

-Matt.
-Hi.

I thought you might
like these.

Flowers.

Great.

I've got my own toothbrush now
and some clothes so...

Oh, I actually have this
thing on.

Oh, yeah, what?
I could come along.

I wish you could, but it's
at the sick animal shelter.

-Mm-hmm.
-See, once a week

I help out with the very sick
baby animals.

Oh, it's hard, tiring work.

But, well, if I could save
just one tiny life.

It's all worth it.

Well, maybe I'll catch you
later then?

Yeah, for sure.

Definitely,
I'll give you a call.

Yeah.

You just turned down a guy
with flowers

and his own toothbrush.

Isn't that
what you've always wanted?

Yes. No.

I don't know.

Well, you said he was hot.

Oh, well, you've seen him.
He's gorgeous, like,

like 1960s Robert Redford
gorgeous.

Bad conversation?

No, we could talk for hours.

Well, I talk while he listens.

He doesn't seem to mind.

-Does he smell bad?
-Just his feet.

Nose whistles when he breathes?

No.

No, he's perfect.

So what's wrong with me?

Hey, thanks for doing
the shopping today, Dad.

-You saved me heaps of time.
-Glad to help.

Hey, princess.

Hey, ooh, ooh.

Shh, don't tell Mummy.

Tell Grandad I'm not blind

and not too much sugar,
thanks.

- There you go, sweetie.

Well, that's what
we grandparents do.

-We spoil--
-Dad, you all right?

-Dad! Dad!

Dad, what's wrong?

Feel a bit dizzy.

All right, Dad, I'm gonna
call a doctor, all right?

-Dad!

Dad, I'm calling
an ambulance, okay?

-How is he?
-The doctor said

it was a stroke.

A mild stroke.

What else did he say?

Well, his vision's back
to normal,

his blood pressure's
still high.

He's got some weakness
on the left side,

but that should pass.

Come on, your dad's as strong
as they come, aren't you, Ted?

That's right, mate.

And just then,
nothing was clearer.

If they were this worried
about a minor stroke,

no way was I raising
the subject of dementia.

Okay, now your shaver
and your spare reading glasses

are in there.

Did I give you
your reading thingy?

-Mm-hmm.
-Oh, great.

Now, do you want me
to get the newspaper?

Jules, stop worrying.

It's probably nothing more
than high blood pressure

-or cholesterol or something.
-Well, I am allowed to worry

about you a teeny bit.

Well, you've reached
your quota for today, mate.

You could go, you know.

No, no, no, I'm just wondering
what the time is in London.

-Julie--
-Yeah, I know you don't want

to worry the kids,
but they need to know.

Mr. Taylor,

-how're you feeling?
-Oh, fine, Doc.

Um, and he will be fine too,
won't he?

-With the right medication.
-Well, as you know

the symptoms were minor,
so there's no reason

for alarm at this stage.
But we'll run a few more tests,

see if we can't find out
what caused it.

Well, if you need anything.

-Mm, I'll call.
-Okay.

-Bye, love.
-Bye. Thanks.

Well, all your signs are good.

Blood pressure's normal.

Have you had any more dizziness
or tingling in your arm?

No, no, all fine.

Ah, Doc, I don't know
if you've got it there,

but I've been having tests
for dementia.

-It's here.
-And I was wondering,

um, me forgetting things,
you know, silly things,

could that be
because of other strokes?

Well, without running
more tests, it's hard to say.

But it could be?

It's possible, right?

It's possible. Yes.

Now I'm just going to, ah,
listen to your chest

-for a second.
- The whole time

I'd been assuming one thing,
when maybe the reality

was a whole lot simpler
and a lot less scary.

He's okay, Ben.

And the last thing
your granddad wants is for you

or Nathan, for that matter,
to jump on a plane.

Yes, we'll let you know
if anything changes,

but he's fine, he didn't
even want me to call you.

No, darling,
they're keeping him in

for a couple of days,
but that's just a precaution.

-Yeah.
- Okay, mate.

Okay, mate,
look, we'll see you later.

Yes, I know, sweetheart,
we all are.

-All right, bye.
-Yeah, I'll tell him.

I love you too.

And try not to worry.

Bye.

You should take
some of your own advice.

-How are the boys?
-They're okay.

Rach was pretty upset.

Feels a long way away.

Yeah.

God, he looked so frail.

Oh, he perked up quickly.

Yeah, just, maybe we pile on
too much responsibility.

You know, looking after Ruby,
cooking dinner,

-the shopping today.
-Jules,

your dad is the most capable
man I've ever met.

And he does those things
because he wants to.

You know, the most important
thing for Ted,

or for all of us,
is to feel useful.

Hey, he's going to be around
for a long while yet,

don't worry.

And then she said,

"I help out with all the sick
baby animals." That's my line.

Hang on, I'm confused.
I thought you said Run-Run

was being held prisoner.

What? Voula held you captive

and forced you to do
horrible and vile things?

I lied. Okay, you happy?

She's under my skin
like an Al Green song.

And now she's not
returning my texts.

Oh, you're losing
your touch, Boots.

You're getting soft
in your old age.

Oh, he's got it bad.

Well, between Jake
and Romeo over here,

I reckon I'm the only one with
me head screwed on straight.

Hmm, so Heather,
is that definitely over?

Done-skis.

What, no other women
on the horizon?

-None.
-Hmm, I suppose being gay

and all, it just gets
a little bit complicated.

As far as I'm concerned,
love's dead.

Finito. Kaput.

-Run-Run?
-Hmm?

- It's your shout.
-What rhymes with hair?

Okay, my shout.
Frankie, same?

Yeah.

I know she doesn't look
like it, but she is so sweet.

Delicate, you know.

I guess you just can't help
who you fall in love with.

There, she will not be able
to resist that one.

Hey, Voula,
have you seen my... donuts?

Even I can't eat six
in one sitting.

That's actually
very impressive.

-Sorry, Carbo.
-No, don't sweat it.

I was in more
of a savory mood anyway.

Pistachios?

Have you eaten everything?

Guys, what's the problem?

-She's eaten everything.
-Well, not the fruits.

Can you talk to her, Retta?

You're a girl,
she's a girl, just...

Does this have
anything to do with Matt?

I don't know.

Why don't you tell me
how you feel?

-Empty.
-After all that food?

Now, let me figure this out.

-You've always wanted a man.
-Oh, any man.

And now you've got one...

I feel hollow.

You're a greyhound.

Are you calling me a dog?

No, no, no, listen,
take it easy, okay?

Look, you remember
Uncle Stavros?

- Yeah.
-Okay, he bought himself

a racing greyhound.
Va-Va-Vroom.

-Yeah, she was fast.
-Stavros swore

she'd make him a fortune,
but she only ever ran one race.

-Why?
-She caught the rabbit.

She what?

The dogs chase a rabbit
around the track, right?

Va-Va-Vroom caught it
and realized it was nothing

but a bit of fluff
running on an electric rail.

She never raced again.

So, what you're saying
is Voula

likes the thrill of the chase.

No, I'm saying,
she's got herself a guy,

and now she's realized
he's nothing but a bit of fluff.

That's the stupidest thing
I've ever heard.

I've got a guy,
and I could not be happier.

Jim?

Jim?

You there?

Just a sec.

I didn't mean to
barge in, I was knocking and--

-No, no.
-You okay?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

You're welcome any time.

I was just having a lie-down.

I didn't hear you, that's all.

Want a cuppa?

No. I'm right.

I got your message.
You wanted to see me.

Yeah, yeah, I did.

What's this?

-A cheque?
-I got one

for your brother as well.

I know I haven't been a father
to you boys in any way.

-But this is too much.
-No, no, too little

and too late, probably.

But it's better than nothing.

It's a bank cheque.
They'll cash it pretty quick.

No, I can't take this.
You've got medical bills.

No, it's sweet, all covered.

Funeral, everything.

Jake, I've never done
anything for you.

Please, let me do this.

You could have at least
let me get the wine.

Hey we're the ones
in hospitality, remember?

-You just sit there.
-Fine, everyone gang up on me,

that's what I've missed
about family dinners.

How's the house-hunting
going?

I haven't found
the right place yet, but I will.

Out of all those listings,
there has to be

-something suitable.
- Don't worry, Mum,

-I'm on the case too.
-So long as it meets

your high standards,
right, Freckles?

Exactly.
And stop calling me that.

Emma, would you get
the side plates?

The food smells great, Donna.

Yeah, Mum's put her quiche
on the menu at work.

God, I've missed
your quiches.

Hey, I haven't
seen these in ages.

Oh, no, no, no,
not those plates.

Cost a fortune, as I recall.

Yeah, there's only two.
Didn't there used to be four?

Hmm, what happened
to the others?

Well, if memory serves,
and it does,

I threw them both
at your father

when I discovered
he'd cheated on me.

I guess I owe you two plates.

Shush, and eat your dinner.

I'll get it.

Hello. Oh, hi, Julie.

Yeah, I'll just get
Mum for you.

Hello.

Down two eleven.

Ted!

Donna.

How'd you get past the nurses?

They said I could pop in
just for a second.

Oh, when Julie rang me,
I couldn't believe it.

Your poor thing.

Oh, she shouldn't have
called you.

It's not as bad as it looks.

-But it's a stroke.
-Or similar.

You know, dehydration,
high blood pressure.

It's no big deal.
It'll only be some tablets,

a change of diet.
Two days, I'm out of here.

Oh, Ted I'm so glad.

And Julie must be relieved.

Well, she was a bit shaken up,
but she'll be okay.

At least now I don't have
to tell her

-about the dementia tests.
-Why's that?

Well, the doc just said
there's a good chance

that me forgetting things
was due to other strokes.

-A good chance?
-Yeah.

Yeah, he said it's possible.

Yeah, well,
possible isn't probable, Ted.

Your family has a right
to know.

I'll be fine.

Yes, yes, I'm going.

-Will you be okay?
-I'm good.

-Sleep tight.
-Mm-hmm.

I'd seen a glimmer of hope,

and I was going to grab it
with both hands.

Anything to keep
the darkness at bay.

Two days later,
the sun was out,

and I was ready to take on
the world again.

What have you done with Ruby?

Oh, she's in day care today.

Oh, I could have
taken care of her.

Yeah, well, we didn't want
you exerting yourself.

Oh, she's not trouble.

Yeah, all the same, we just
wanted to ease you back in.

Yeah, I can see that.

What,
no Bing Crosby Monthly?

"101 easily digestible soups"?

There's nothing wrong
with making sure

you're comfortable.

Now have a seat,
and I'll get your pills.

No, I don't need
to take any till tonight.

Ah, no, I'm sure Dr. Rosso
said two with lunch.

Yeah, with food.
I'll whip something up.

Did you put them
in Dad's bag?

-Hey, Dave.
-No, no, he gave them to you,

-didn't he?
-I'm sure he handed them

-to you.
-Hey! Hey, I'm not deaf

and I'm not dead,
so stop acting

-like I'm not in the room.
-Sorry, Dad, we're just--

You... You're worried,
I know, I know,

and I appreciate that.

But I am perfectly capable
of taking my own medication.

Take two tablets
morning and night.

No mention of food.

No prizes for guessing.

- Oh.
-So now you've got

the complete set again.

-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

I know you like things
to match.

You know me so well.

So any news about
an apartment?

Ah, yeah, no,
nothing's really

-grabbed me yet.
-Oh.

Um, Emma and I are heading off
to an open garden in Mosman.

It's supposed
to be spectacular.

So, no house hunting?

I'll have a look online
later on, you know,

just see if there's
anything new.

Hey, actually, you wouldn't
have any cash on you,

would you? I'd promised
I'd take her to lunch

and I forgot to go
to the bank.

Yeah, of course.

Oh, Dad, you're here.

Come on, we'll grab
a coffee on the way.

Someone's keen.

-Cheers.
-Have a lovely time.

We will.

I will see you at work,
won't I?

Yes, Mom, don't stress.

Sometimes,
that moment of clarity

comes from deep within.

Other times, we need someone
to hold up a mirror

in order to see
what's wrong.

-What are you doing to Retta?
-Shh.

I need every ounce
of concentration.

As a redhead,
she's a real challenge.

Mm.

Hey, honey, how was work?

Ah, you know,
same old, same old, but--

Is that Matt again?

He seems a bit... needy.

Needy's good.

I need to be needed.

Voula, how old are you?

-Twenty-nine.
-Yeah, I've been to her last

three 29th birthday parties.

Maybe you're just not ready
to settle down yet.

Yes, I am.

We're going to get married,

our wedding will have
a pink theme.

We'll have kids,
and Matt will be the last man

-I'm ever with.

Go away!

Go on,
just get it all out.

Oh, he's just so clingy.

You know, I ignore him,
and he just rings

and rings and sits
by the phone.

It's so sad and unattractive.

Oh, my God!

Go on.

Say it.

Matt's just like me.

Like, I usually am.

I can't be with him.

Then you've got to tell him.

I'll chicken out.
You've seen him.

He's gorgeous.
Like 1960s Robert--

Redford. I know.

I know, but if that's
how you feel.

I've never broken up
with a man before.

But you've seen it
in the movies, right?

There you go.

♪ You see this guy ♪

♪ This guy's in love
With you ♪

Just like the movies.

I'm just a girl
standing in front of a boy,

telling him
she cannot love him.

♪ How can I show you? ♪

♪ Don't let... ♪

-Voula.
-Matt.

I...

♪ I want your love ♪

♪ Say you're in love ♪

♪ With this guy ♪

♪ If not, I'll just die ♪

Wait.

They're not clean.
Go back and get another set.

Sorry, I know
we're a bit late.

But seriously, you should
have seen this garden.

I had to prise her
out of there with a shovel.

Oh, come on,
I know you enjoyed it.

Could you unload
the dishwasher please

and get ready
for the afternoon rush?

Could we have a word?

Why haven't you found
an apartment?

Come on, I can't just buy
the first thing I look at.

How many have you looked at?

-Five or six.
-Where?

What streets?

What do you want from me,
Donna?

I want you to stop lying
to me, please.

Just don't lie.

Right.

There's a problem.

A financial one.

You can't afford to buy?

I'd be lucky if I can rent.

I lost my job.

Financial downturn, GFC,
whatever, and then no money,

no Natalie, no one
I could trust or turn to.

And you didn't think
to tell me?

Do you think it's that easy?

What happened to all the money
from your share of the house?

I had to buy you out.

You left me with a child
and a huge mortgage.

-Emma's hardly a child.
-That's not the point.

Do you think I meant
for this to happen?

You never mean for anything.
You always run away

-from your responsibilities.
-Oh, and you're always there

to remind me of my failings.

-Everything okay?
-Yeah, yes, it's just...

Silly old stuff.

Hey, I better go.

I might not be able to do
dinner tonight, love.

Bit of work on.

Talk to you later.

And I'll get back
to the napkins.

Don't forget about
the dishwasher.

Voula?

Sometimes, you need to be
in someone else's shoes

to see things clearly.

And done.

Good.
Brought you a cuppa.

Oh, you didn't have
to do that.

Oh, if I can't spoil you when
you're just out of hospital,

when can I?

Now, if you need anything else,
just shout out

and don't stay up too late.

You know I am an adult,
don't you?

I'm not Ruby.

Well, just as special.

Don't get all mushy on me.

Oh, all right,
good night, you grump.

Goodnight, love.

Oh!

Right.

Let's go.

Just like a bought one.

Bloody batteries.

Julie, Julie,
get Ruby out of here.

- What?
-Ted, wake up! Wake up!

-What?
- There's a fire.

Come on, just get out of here!

Call the fire brigade.

What happened?

I've got no idea.

Fire brigade.

How did it start?

In that moment,
I honestly didn't know.

Oi! Hey.

I'm awake.
No need for violence.

What are you doing here?

I ran away from home.

-Hi, Sian.
-Hi, Alex.

Yeah, Mum and Doug
are driving me nuts.

Doug is into
cleaning products.

You eat.
I'll get some more.

-About Jim.
-What about him?

Yeah, well, um, I'm sorry
I gave you such a hard time.

You're big enough to make
your own mistakes.

Dave.

What?

You're kidding?

Is everyone okay?

Well, yeah, yeah, yeah,
we'll head over now.

-I'll see you soon.
- What's up?

Oh, there's been a fire
at work,

-I've got to go.
-I'll come. I can help.

No, no, you're not ready,
and I can't wait.

Yeah, let's go.

All right.

Take that stuff out there.

- It's still warm.
-Go for it, mate.

Thank you.

Yeah, thanks very much.
I'll hear from you.

Yeah, sooner
rather than later, eh?

How's inside?

Oh, a bit of water damage
to the bathroom

-and the back bedrooms.
-Pity about the shed.

-It was looking so good.
-Yeah.

It's going to take us a while
to get back up and running.

Thanks for all
your help, anyway.

Yeah, no worries.

Dave, what did
the insurance fella say?

Oh, they reckon a soldering iron
was the likely cause.

-A soldering iron?
-Yeah.

Maybe one of the guys
left it on.

Yeah, I guess.

Don't know why anyone's
using it though.

Well, at least we've got
insurance though, eh?

- Thank God.
- Yeah.

Holy hell, what happened?

I'll make you a cup of tea
and tell you all about it.

I'll go and make the cuppa,
you take care of things here.

Thanks, Ted. Don't suppose
you could work today?

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
whatever you need.

Morning.

I know it was my idea,

but I don't think
you should stay here.

I thought
this might be coming.

It's so easy for you,
isn't it?

What?

Just like before,
you dish out the charm,

buy a few gifts,
and then the lying begins.

What was your plan, Mark?

To keep stringing me along,
talking about buying a place,

sleeping in our spare room,

until I decided
to take you back?

There was no grand plan.

I wanted to tell you
the truth.

But instead you chose
to lie to me

-and to your daughter.
-That's right.

To you, I'll always be
the bad father.

You're not
a bad father, Mark.

You're just
a terrible husband.

I'm going back
to my mate's place.

What are you going
to tell Emma?

I haven't really thought
that far ahead.

I'm not going to do
your dirty work for you.

I'll call her.

I will.

I promise.

Donna, I'm sorry.

So am I.

Whoa, you might want to change
out of the leopard skins

if you want to help.

Hey, Matt.

Voula.

-Oh, what a shame.
-Yeah.

What happened yesterday?

I...

I needed to get out of there.

-I felt--
-Trapped?

Which is weird,
'cause I never feel trapped.

-Usually I'm--
-Clingy?

Exactly.

When I woke up
and you were gone,

I felt terrible.

That's how I usually feel.

I guess that's how those women
felt when they woke up

and old Run-Run was gone.

Well, you made me
realize something too.

Well, being clung to
isn't fun.

I'm not going to be
clingy anymore.

Yeah, and no more drainpipes
for me.

-So, we're cool?
-Yeah.

And thanks, it was...
it was fun.

You'll find the right girl.

Yeah, you too.

Well, you know what I mean.

Light bulb moments
can come in unexpected ways.

Whether we stick
by what we've learned

is another thing entirely.

So, what can we save?

Most of the cabling's gone.

The heat's melted
the insulation.

Yeah, it's not worth
the risk. We should chuck it.

Yeah, that's what
I'm thinking.

-There you go.
-Thanks, Dad.

-Thanks, Ted.
- Do you want one, Jake?

No thanks, Ted.

Oh, what a mess.

Oh, well, be positive.

-At least you're insured.
-Yeah.

Yeah, but who knows how long

that money will take
to arrive.

You know, I might be able
to help out with that.

-Hmm?
-I've come into some cash

that I'd be happy
for you to have.

-Oh!
-No, no, we'll be fine.

-The insurance will pay.
-Yeah.

What, and lose all that work
in the meantime?

No, this makes sense.

-Where's it from?
-Jim gave it to me.

No, mate, mate,
I appreciate it,

but we don't need
your money, it's yours.

Wait, it's not a gift,
it's a loan.

And I expect every cent
paid back.

Or you'll break
my kneecaps, right?

-You know it.
-Don't worry, we'll be fine.

All right.

What money?

You said Jim gave you
some money. What money?

Look, there's some
for you too.

-I was going to tell you.
-When?

When things had
settled down a bit.

You are so full of it,

-I can smell it from here.
-Hey,

-you can't blame me--
-No, I know how it is.

You get to make
your own choices and I don't.

You and Jim can stick
your guilt money.

Some light bulb moments
can stay with you forever.

Oh, Mattie,
don't leave everything

to the young
and handsome apprentice.

- Way!
- Oi!

It's all right,
fair bump, play on.

Oh, sells the dummy.

-I saw that.
-Saw what?

The bump and then the hand.

-What are you talking about?
-On the hip.

You know, and the...
turn and walk away.

You'd be surprised how many
chicks I pull with that move.

Are you saying that Coby
was putting a move on me?

Coby? Hell no, he doesn't
even know his own power.

But you do.

Have you been breathing
paint fumes, 'cause you ...

I saw the way
you were looking at him

-at the club the other night.
-All right, it's official,

-you're deluded.
-Hey, I know that look.

You've got feelings for him.

-I... It's...
-Hey, look,

who am I to judge?
I know more than anyone

you can't help
who you fall for.

But if you're planning
on going there,

you better go there 100%.

Because once that toothpaste
is out of the tube,

there's no way
it's going back in.

-What does that mean?
-It means

he's going to go there
a thousand percent,

and I don't want to see
my nephew getting hurt.

I just don't understand
why he had to lie to us.

Well, I'm sure
he had his reasons.

You know, I don't even care
that he's broke.

You know, we could have
helped him.

And now all he's done is
make you mad at him again.

And it was going
really well, wasn't it?

Yes.

It felt comfortable.

But then we began
to slip back into old habits.

Isn't that a good thing?

Oh, Emma, your father
loves you very much.

And you should never
forget that.

Hey.

Julie.

I think it was my fault.

Sorry?

The fire.

I was in the shed last night,
but I forgot.

Forgot what?

The lamp.

I don't even remember
fixing it.

Dad, are you all right?

I don't think so, love.

All you can hope for...

is that you're not alone.
