Packed to the Rafters (2008–2013): Season 5, Episode 5 - Judgement Day - full transcript

Dave has landed another major contract, so he ends the boys to keep in shape, yet they insist on some partying. Jake is baffled when his father, who left his ma when he was four, turns up and announces he needs to get to know him, being diagnoses with terminal cancer and seeks alcoholic, even narcotic distraction. Ben works out that Retta is pregnant and patiently persuades her to come clean to the future father, however immature Carbo may remain in some ways. Editor Adam Goodman publishes Julie's restaurant assessments but edits nearly every word.

In court,
you can't make a judgment

until you've heard
all the facts.

Oi! Get out of it!

Ah! Oh!

Come here! No, you don't!

Ow! Oh!

- Just shut it.
-Jake! Jake!

-Yeah?
-What are you doing?

-What he's a mate of mine.
-What?

-This is Harro.

He's borrowing my amp for a gig.



And your DVD player.

-Right.
-Oh.

Matt said it was cool.

-Oh.
-Sorry.

We're playing the next couple
of nights at the Legacy.

I'm putting these guys
on the door.

I can get you in too
if you like.

Well, we'll see how we go, eh?

All righty.

Thanks again for the loan.

Coby. Good to meet you, mate.

Yeah, yeah, no.
I'll see you tonight.

Too easy.

Out of court,
we're a lot quicker to judge.



Okay. I just picked one up.

-Hot off the press.
-Yep.

It must be near
the food section.

Do they have a food section?

Yeah, you know,
where they write up

local cafes and things, ah!

-Here it is.
-Yeah.

Oh, look at that!

"By Julie Rafter."

-Oh, it reads well.
-Yeah.

How's it feel love, seeing
your words there in print?

Well, I don't know.
They're not my words.

-Hey?
-Well...

well, they've kept the name
of the tapas bar but...

-Angus didn't say anything?
-Adam.

No, he said he made a few tweaks

but there's barely anything
of what I wrote left.

It must've been terrible.

-Rubbish!
-Exactly.

Well, it was your first go.
Dave Rafter.

No, it was terrible
and Adam was just being nice.

Well, maybe they ran out of room

-and they had to trim it down.
-Yeah, no.

I don't want him to be nice.

-I want him to be honest.
-That's great news, yeah.

I mean, I spent all day on that.

I agonized over it
and now it's all changed.

Look, never mind, love.

Now you know
why journalists drink.

Yeah thanks, dad. That's...

that's great.

Awesome. Thank you.

Well, we landed
the Hillman contract.

Oh, darl, that's...
that's great.

Congratulations.

-Good on you, mate.
-Yeah, it's a pretty big job.

Yeah.

I don't think Harro
will forget you in a hurry.

Well, what was
I supposed to think?

The things you'll do to make
an impression, Jakey boy.

Yeah.

Jake Barton.

So this amp's actually
going to work, right?

It's not just going to cut out
halfway through his solo?

- What do you mean?
-Well, you know,

Harro's getting radio play
and you're driving a cab.

It's got to hurt.

No.

I'm happy for him.

-My turn will come.
- Yeah. In your dreams.

You'll see. Just watch.

No, I can't.

I can't do this at the moment.

Who was that?

Telemarketer.

Oh, bull. Chick or bloke?

Oh, look, you're up, mate.
Come on.

Hey. Who was it?

Oh, look, it as just someone
from ages ago.

-Oh, don't make us beg.
-Oh, fine!

It was Jim Barton.

Rello?

It's my old man.

Dead set?

When was the last time
you saw him?

Oh, not since he shot through.

I was about four.

-What does he want?
-I don't know.

He tried to reconnect
with us last year

when mom got remarried.

Yeah? What happened?

Alex wouldn't have a bar of it,
so that was the end of it.

I'd made my mind up

and there wasn't
a single thing he could do

to change it.

I thought you were going
to call in sick this morning?

I felt better
once I got to work.

Stop worrying.

How can I not worry?

This is like
the fourth day in a row

that you've been throwing up.

It sounds serious.

No, not at all.

I think I caught it off Tina.

She's been sick too.

Didn't you say Tina
sprained her ankle

at a kite flying accident
or something?

Carbo, keep up.

She recovered from that

and now she's got
this mystery virus.

She thinks
she caught it off her aunty.

You know,
the one with all the cats.

-Cat...
-But, ah...

you don't work
with Tina anymore.

Ah, that's... that's true...

And you haven't seen her
in ages.

That... that's true too.

So, how did you
catch it off Tina?

By chewing one of her pencils.

-Yuck.
-Yeah, she left it here

after Pictionary one night

when you were at work
and you were out.

-I don't go out.
-Getting pizza.

Oh, okay.

I don't know.

It sounds a bit suss to me.

I know right? You just
couldn't make this stuff up.

Oh, well, whatever it is,

I'm going to do everything
in my power to get you better

starting with my famous
chicken soup.

This needs my full attention.
You guys have to go.

Come on, out. Out. Out you go.

He's been arranging gerberas.

The pollen makes him strange.

I'd be acting strange too
if my wife

had been spewing every morning.

So are you pregnant?

What? No.
I told you it's a mystery bug.

The only mystery is how you
managed to convince Carbo

you caught a virus
from a pencil.

All right. So, the Tina story
was a furphy.

Retta.

Look, I just didn't want
to freak you boys out,

-that's all.
-Why would we be freaked out?

'Cause it's...

girl stuff.

Like periods and things.

Yes. Yes.

I sometimes throw up when
it's that time of the month,

particularly
if it's a heavy flow--

Okay, that's enough.

Let's never speak of this again.

Mm.

Are you sure
you don't want to come?

No, I'm good.

Oh, you're worried Harro
might take out

-a restraining order.
- Your last chance.

Frankie and Sian are coming.

Ah, no. Say hi to them for me.

-All right. Won't be late.
- All right.

-Oi. Did you order a cab?
-No.

-G'day.
-Hi.

I'm looking for Jake Barton.

I'm Jim. Jake's dad.

How did you know his address?

Phone book.

I'm Matt. This is Coby.

-Pleased to meet you.
-Yeah, we were just

-on our way out so...
-Yeah, so...

Ah, ah, Jake.

I need to speak with you.

But if this is a bad time I...

No, it's okay.

Are you sure
you don't want to join us?

-No, no.
-You right here?

Yeah.

What do you want?

Look, I...

I know
this must be hard for you.

Oh, don't worry about me.

You just say
what you've got to say.

I've got cancer, Jake.

They say it's in my bones.

And I've been
thinking about you.

All the time.

Alex too.

Look, I don't expect you
to forgive me.

I just, I don't want you...

I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have come.

Look, if you change your mind.

I'm sorry.

Innocent until proven guilty.

Easier said than done.

♪ 'Cause you can't be loved ♪

♪ Yeah, I'm feeling lost ♪

♪ I'm going down, baby ♪

♪ 'Cause you can't be loved ♪

♪ The feeling's lost ♪

♪ Can't be loved ♪

Thank you very much!

We're going to take
a short break.

Back soon.

He is a great guitarist.

Ha. You reckon?

No, it's all effects.

Oh, Bootsy, you're not...

You are, you're jealous.
Admit it.

Oh, where do you get
such a funny notion?

Okay, who's up for a drink?

Oh, so you changed
your mind mate?

-You okay?
-Of course.

What'd your dad want?

Oh, just to see me.

What'd he say?

That's it.

That's what he said.

So it was pretty full
on seeing him

after all this time?

Sure you're okay?

Yeah.

It's just...

He looked...

Oh, I don't know.

I don't know what I think.

It's my shout. Who wants a beer?

-Yes.
-Yeah.

Hey. What's going on?

Oh, shh.

I told you it's just...

it's just that time
of the month.

-Do you want me to get Carbo?
-No. No.

That's the whole problem.

I had our five-year plan
all worked out.

Get our careers on track,
buy a house,

then think about a family.

Now it's all out of whack.

Because you're pregnant.

I think so.

You think so?

I can't be
a hundred percent sure.

I mean, on some of those

the second line's a bit faint,
look.

-Did you pee on all of these?
-Yeah. Twice.

-Carbo hasn't twigged?
-Not even close.

I didn't even know
you guys were trying.

We weren't,
I got food poisoning one night

after I took the pill.

The scallops
at the Rowers seafood buffet

have ruined my life.

Why do you guys
keep going back there?

'Cause it's Carbo's
favorite place on earth.

When are you going
to tell Carbo?

I got a blood test
just to make sure

so I get the results this week.

Why wait? He'd want to share
the excitement with you.

I'm not so sure
he'll be excited.

Carbo's five year plan
is for the Swans

to win another flag.

Ever since I've known Carbo,

he's always talked about
having a house full of kids.

Carbo wants kids
that will pop out

and play soccer with him.

He's not ready for nappies

and teething and no sleep.

He's a big kid himself.

That's a bit harsh.

Oh, thank God you two are awake.

What happened?

Lobster nightmare.

Again?

That lobster's freaking me out.

I need some warm milk.

Some Tim Tams.

Oh, who's up for a night cap?

-Nope.
-No chance.

Oh, come on.

You don't know
what you're missing out on.

And don't let your old man
mess with your head,

-all right?
- Yeah.

Why's it taken him this long
to track you down?

Goodnight, mate.

Goodnight, mate.

Cobes was right.
Too little too late.

That's the only judgment call
I was going to make.

Oh.

Oh. Here he is.

How are you feeling?
Here you go.

Grease is good. There you go.

Cheers. What's your secret?

I have the metabolism
of an elite athlete.

-Yeah, right.
-Has anyone seen my keys?

Well, why don't you leave them
in the same place?

Oh, you're like, you're such
a creature of habit.

Yes. Well, I am and I don't...

I knew I hadn't eaten this.

-Here they are.
-Ah.

And, um...

is that what I think it is?

That shouldn't be there, sorry.

Oh, that's why
you bounce back so well.

Harro gave it to me
for lending him my amp.

Yeah. Johnno and I
used to smash it

-on those every weekend.
- Really?

And you have
never mentioned that

in all the time I've known you.

Well, there's nothing
worse than...

people banging on
about their drug use.

All right maybe not every
weekend but twice a month,

-for sure.
-Mm.

Yeah, all right.
I tried it once.

I thought it was ecstasy.

Johnno thought it might've
been aspirin, but...

Maybe you should put that
in your room, eh.

Oh, mate, look,
consider it gone.

Completely gone.

Come on, we're late.

Yep.

-Good afternoon.
- Oh, sorry, boss.

Traffic was a nightmare.

You just live around the corner.

Are you all right?

Yeah, just I had
a rough night's sleep.

You know how he is when he's
lost one of his stuff toys.

Yeah, it took us hours
to find little Lamby.

Yeah, turn up late tomorrow
and I won't go so easy.

What's so special
about tomorrow?

We landed the Hillman contract.

-Nice one!
-Oh, are you going to need me?

-Yeah, if you're up to it?
-Absolutely.

Yeah, well,
they're a massive company.

They'll be keeping their eyes
on us so do me a favor

and don't turn up
smelling like a brewery.

See, I told you we should've

sprayed ourselves
with air freshener.

And you wonder why
you haven't got a girlfriend.

Oh, now, now he's just got
high standards,

-haven't you, Cobes?
-Course he does.

Speaking of which,
try these on for size.

-Oh.
-Oh, hey, Frankie!

-Official.
-No, backing out now.

Yeah nice.

-Come on.
-Well, no.

It sounds amazing
but I'm meant to be

helping Dave out today.

Can I call you back?

Great. Thanks.

What's going on?

Oh, I called Adam to apologize

for giving him
so much extra work.

He should be apologizing to you.

Changing things
without consulting you.

Oh, no. Only because
it wasn't up to scratch.

What, he said that?

No, no, no.
He's far too tactful for that.

He just said I need practice,

which is why he's offered me
another chance

writing up a cafe around
the corner from the paper.

-When?
-Today.

Oh, Jules,
any other day'd be fine,

but I've got so much
to organize for tomorrow.

Who's going to look
after the telephones?

Yeah, no. I know. I'll...

I'll let him know.

Well, I can man the phones

and the boys can cover for you

if you want to be Julie's date.

Oh, that'd be great.

I don't know, Jules.
I've got so much to sort out.

Well, at the very least
you could go.

Well, if Ted's willing
to help out then...

Thanks, dad.

Well, I'm sure
you'll do a great job.

I hope so.

Got to call Adam back.

Yeah, you do that.

And tell that boss of yours

if he upsets you again,

he'll have me to answer to.

I will. I won't be long.

You're going backwards, mate.

Yeah, yeah.

Um, you might want
to go a bit easy.

He's a bit out of sorts.

Why, what happened?

His dad dropped around
to see him.

-His dad? Are you sure?
-Apparently.

Really? How'd it go?

Not great I guess.

The coping strategy seems
to be drink to forget.

Oh, keep an eye on him
for me, would you?

Oh, what, you want me
to spy for the boss?

Yeah. Something like that.

Hi. Are you ready to order?

Ah, sorry?

Are you from the paper?

Oh, well, yeah. Adam actually--

The lady from the paper's here.

-No, it's no big deal--
-No, no, it's fine.

We've been expecting you.
Terry's done a whole new menu.

-You'll love it.
-Oh.

Well, we hope so.

We spent enough
on the ad to go with it.

I'll just get you some water
and the menu.

Thank you.

I thought you'd gone to work.

What are you doing?

I took your advice,
called in sick.

I've got a doctor's appointment.

Oh, the chicken soup
didn't work?

A bit. I just don't want
to pass it onto anyone else.

Oh, poor baby.

What are you looking for?

My lucky red socks.

Um, are these them?

Oh, you're a lifesaver.

Hey and about the pillow
down your top...

It doesn't matter
if you're putting on weight.

You know,
just more of you to love.

Hey, get plenty of rest okay
and there's heaps

more chicken soup in the fridge.

-Great.
-Yeah.

-See you tonight.
-Bye.

Avoid the salmon mousse.

Are you checking up on me?

-Just getting a coffee.
-Oh.

Thought
you would've brought someone?

Well, Dave was too busy
and I thought

it was a bit short notice
to ask anyone else.

Sorry to hear that.

No, no, no, I'm not complaining.

Then you're top of my list.

What, even after my last effort?

Julie,
don't be hard on yourself.

You know, I failed
my year ten spelling test.

-Oh, really?
-Yes.

I still freeze on "phenomena."

Thank God for spell check.

Listen, if you have got
a few minutes,

can I pick your brains?

Yeah, sure.
Just don't pick too hard.

I haven't had my coffee yet.

Am I hopeless?

I tinker with everyone's work,
Julie.

Oh, this was more than a tinker.

Yes, but at least it's still

this side of open heart surgery.

Listen, if I didn't think
you were up to the challenge,

I would not have hired you.

-Really?
-Absolutely.

And this thing here,
it's not really a review.

It's just...

It's a puff piece
to go with their ad.

So please don't tie yourself
up in knots over it.

Right. Okay, thanks.

-We good?
-Yeah.

-I can have my coffee now?
-Oh.

Oh, all right.

-Thank you.
-There you go.

-There's still time you know.
-What?

-To meet Julie at the cafe.
-Yeah. I know, Ted. But...

You know,
knocking back a free feed,

a bloke'd have to be mad.

Look, I'd love to but I'm just
a bit snowed under here.

Mate,
once this Hillman job starts,

you're not going to get
the chance to nick off

for a lunch.

Well, now you put it that way.

You sure you're all right here?

-Absolutely.
-Thanks, mate.

Rafter Electrical.

Now, who would've thought

you could make chips
out of polenta?

Yeah, they're very good.

I mean, but anything deep fried

automatically makes it taste
fifty times better,

-don't you think?
-True.

Here she comes,
now whatever you do,

do not make her laugh.

So, how's that coffee, Adam?

It was perfect.

The right blend of froth
and heart palpitations.

So, are you ready
to order mains?

Oh, well, I don't...

There's just so much
to choose from.

Get one of everything.

Are you joking?

I don't know. Was it funny?

There you go. Evidently it was.

So, did you know
he was a reporter in Berlin

when the wall came down?

Really?

I'll give you guys
another minute.

Wow.

It must've been incredible.

It was. Euphoric.

But then sad that it was
ever built in the first place.

-Mm.
-Yeah.

-I'd love to go to Berlin.
-Oh, it's great.

It changes by the second.

G'day.

Dave, hi.

G'day. I'm Adam.

-Julie's editor.
-Oh, yeah.

Oh, Dave. Julie's husband.

Darl, I thought
you had too much work on?

Well, Ted reminded me
it'll be the last chance

I get to sneak out
to lunch for a while.

Ah.

Dave's just landed some work
on a big new development.

-Congratulations.
-Thanks.

Adam was just telling me
about his time reporting

in Berlin, the wall coming down.

Right, right.

Well we just fixed
a fridge in Kogarah.

Listen, I'm going
to leave you guys to it.

Mate, help yourself to the menu.

Anything you want
is on the house.

Oh, that's very generous.
Thanks.

Julie, can you get
that piece to me by tomorrow?

-Yeah, sure.
-See you later.

-Bye.
-Bye.

Yeah.

I hope I wasn't interrupting...

Oh, course not.

That's not potato.

No.

You look a little bit less
like death.

Thank you.

So, it didn't go well then.

What's that?

Meeting with your dad.

He's sick.

How sick?

Cancer.

Oh, Jake, I'm sorry.

Oh, don't worry about it.

It's not like he's been around.

Yeah, but he's still your dad.

It doesn't feel like it.

How do I know
he's telling the truth?

Why would he lie
about something like that?

Well, 'cause he wants something.

Yeah, to see you.

Yeah, well, his track record's
not that good.

Like, I don't know
anything about him.

Nothing.

I can't even begin
to imagine that.

My dad and I,
we were really close.

Well, he died recently,
didn't he?

Yeah.

-Cancer.
-Sorry.

It sounds really corny
but he was my hero,

like, always used to make jokes
at the worst times and...

I miss him lots.

Listen, I know he bailed on you,

but what've you got to lose

by finding out
his side of the story?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

He can't just walk back in
and play the sympathy card

and expect me to forget
what he did to us.

Yeah, but maybe
he's not expecting anything.

-Maybe he's changed.
-Or maybe he hasn't.

You know, look, now,
I've made my decision, right,

not to go there,
and he can't force me

to change my mind
just because it suits him.

Yeah, but cancer, Jake,
it's a pretty big wake up call.

If you don't see him now,

you might not get
another chance.

-Nothing fancy.
-Oh, look, it's fine.

So you... Your mom
said work's going good.

Can't complain.

Is that what you've always
wanted to do?

-Sparkie?
-Oh, I guess.

And, uh, you work
with your girlfriend's father?

Ah, she went overseas.
We're not seeing each other.

That's right.
Grace did mention that.

So how's the rugby going?

Don't play anymore.

Oh.

Um... so do you follow
any sports?

The horses.

Thankfully there are the horses.

I suppose I should clean up
one of these days

but I don't get many visitors.

I have had a few cracks
at sharing my mess,

but it always ends up
the same way.

Me wanting my own space back.

So, there's no...

half brothers or sisters
I should know about?

No, no, no.

No, probably
for the best considering.

Um...

Alex got himself a girlfriend.

Gold Coast.

Really?

You still can't think of him
as a normal guy, can you?

The last time I saw Alex
he was two.

Strange to think of him
getting amongst it,

that's all.

Right.

I don't even know
what he looks like.

You wouldn't have a photo
by any chance?

Not on me.

I'm gonna make some coffee.

-How do you have it?
-Oh, white and one.

Uh, I might've just go get
some milk.

Oh, no, no, black.

Black. Black we can do.

How'd it go?

A good gig being the plus one
of a food critic.

Oh, I'm hardly a critic.

-That's true.
-Hey, Ruby.

No, I just I want to do
a better job.

I don't want to let Adam down.
Come on, darling.

I thought you said
he was incredibly supportive.

Well, he is
but I'm not a charity case.

I know he's your boss, Jules,

but it is just
one person's opinion.

Yes, well, it's a pretty
important person.

I'm surprised
he's even taken an interest,

-isn't he, darling?
- Yeah.

Is he married?

He's divorced. Why?

Oh, I just want to know
all the details

before I pass judgment.

You've got nothing
to be jealous about.

Who said I'm jealous?

Anyway, I better get a move on.

Thanks for looking
after things, dad.

Mm.

-You been busy?
-Steady.

I've written it all down.

Plus, I had my very helpful
assistant here.

Now, where'd I put
those messages?

Do you remember who called?

There was a fellow
from the Hillman's mob,

uh, McKenzie?

Oh, I'll give him a call.
And, um...

And, uh, a new client called

who's interested
in a big fit out.

Right.

I'm sorry, Dave...

Ah. Is this what you're after?

-Where was it?
-On the kitchen table.

I must've left it there
when I grabbed some lunch.

No dramas. Thanks for covering.

Well, they could still make
the grand final.

You reckon?

Maybe we could go
to a game sometime?

So...

Well, how sick are you?

I mean, is there any treatment?

Nothing that'll make
any real difference, no.

Less than a year they reckon.

Look, Jake,

it's been great
seeing you again but...

but I'm pretty knackered.

I'm gonna have to go to bed.

Oh, sure. I'll leave you to it.

Yeah.

I'm rapt you came around.

Will I see you again?

Maybe.

Hey.

What are you doing back here?

Oh, I just...

I'm sorry, I was out
of sorts today, mate.

No worries.
It happens to the best of us.

Um...

my dad's back on the scene.

Really?

What's the story?

Well, he's crook.

He's got cancer.

Oh, mate, I'm sorry.

Yeah.

Things go all right?

Well, not at first,

but they kind of got better
this afternoon so...

-You saw him?
-Yeah.

He wants a photo of me and Alex.

Yeah, well, he hasn't seen you
in a long time.

Mm.

What's the point
in getting to know someone

if they're not gonna be around?

It could be better
than nothing at all.

Thanks, man.

Uh. Poor Jake.

-That must be so hard.
-Yeah.

No wonder he went out
and had a few drinks.

It's a shame
they couldn't have reconnected

under better circumstances.

Jake doesn't know what to think.

Yeah, I bet.

I just don't want him to get
stuffed around, you know?

Well, I guess
he'll have to find his way

through this
the same way you did.

-Are you okay?
-Yeah.

Come on, Rubes.
Let's go and have a bath.

Leave mom to do her work.

Just look at these wheels.

Where did you steal them?

I'm gonna take you
somewhere special.

Don't you say
I stole them, okay.

So my prick of a dad
had lied to me.

And that's all the evidence
I needed.

Do you guys want to go out?

-What, tonight?
-Mm.

We've got a massive day
tomorrow, remember?

We were just about
to order pizza in the next ad.

Well, all right.
Well, I'm heading out.

If you softies don't wanna go...

What's going on?

Have you spoken to Jim again?

Well, I just want
to get amongst it.

There's nothing wrong with that.

-Who are you calling?
-Cab.

You seriously wanna back up
last night?

Yeah, I seriously do.

I'll drive.

-Let me get my jacket.
-Yes! Good man.

-Cobes?
-Yes...

all right, but we need
to take it easy for tomorrow.

Righto.

I'll see if I can get Frankie
and Sian onboard, too.

How good's this music?
It's just like...

You're so drunk I think
you'd rock out to The Wiggles.

No, this is my second beer.

Really?

Then what's going on with you?

Oh, just stoked to be here

with my mates and my girlfriend.

Girlfriend?
Is that right?

Oh.

I can't believe
I haven't noticed that before.

-What?
-Your eyes.

They have these amazing specks
of color in them.

Oh, do you want to dance?

-You want to dance?
-Yeah, why not.

All right. Now you're starting
to freak me out.

All right.

So, I know Jake's a happy drunk

but this is getting weird.

Do you think someone
spiked his drink?

Oh, tell me you didn't take
the pill that I threw out.

-Shh.
- Dude.

-Dude.
-What pill?

What... He's dancing.

-What do you reckon?
-Oh, okay.

Couldn't you wait
until the weekend?

We've got to get this one home.

Oh, like he'll sleep
any time soon.

-You're so beautiful.
-Oh, thank you.

No,

I mean seriously.

You're the most beautiful person
I've ever seen.

I'm taking everything
with a big fat grain

-of salt right now.
-No, really. I'm not lying.

-I love you.
-Oh, Jake.

-I do.
-Okay.

Let's go get some sleep, huh.
See you guys later!

I'll sleep when I'm dead!
Chewie?

I need some chewie.
Who's got chewie?

I don't...
I don't have any chewie.

-Let's kick on, boys.
-Oh, no, no,

not going to happen.
The Hillman job

-starts tomorrow, remember?
-Oh, yes!

How awesome's this Hillman job
going to be?

-Come on, mate.
-Where are we going?

Just home.

- Ooh, no.
- Oi.

-Did you get any sleep at all?
-Oh...

Oi. That's all right.
We can cover for you at work,

-no worries.
-No, no, no,

-I'm not calling in sick.
-Oh, Dave is not gonna want

you to turn up like this.
He's got a lot riding

-on this one.
-Go have a shower

and a coffee and I'll be fine.

You can't muck around
with electrics and no sleep.

Oh, says the taxi driver.

Why don't you just crash out
and then come into work

-a little bit later?
-Look, just get out

of my face. I'm going to work.

Mate, we're just trying to help.

Okay. All right,

if you're trying to help
then just back off.

Retta gone to work this morning?

No, no she's gone
to the doctor

to get her blood results.
Fingers crossed.

-You know about that?
-Oh, yeah, of course.

And you're feeling hopeful?

Are you kidding?
It's great news.

That's great, mate.
I'm really happy for you.

Happy for me?
Even if she hasn't caught

some mystery disease off Tina,
it's still quite serious.

She threw up again this morning.

You're right.
What was I thinking?

I don't know.
What were you thinking?

Well, you've been
nagging Retta to go

to the doctors
so you must be happy.

Relieved, maybe. But happy?

That's a weird thing
to say, Benno.

You're hiding something from me.

- No, I'm not.
-Look,

what's really going on
with Retta?

-Nothing.
-You know something.

No, I don't.
I know as much as you do,

some mystery virus that's making

Retta sick in the morning.

I mean, there's a lot of things
that make you sick.

It could be any number
of morning sicknesses.

Not the morning sickness,
just being ill...

before the afternoon.

My God.

Why didn't she say?
Why didn't you?

Seriously, Carbo,
it could be anything!

Sorry about the wait.
Take a seat.

-Thanks.
-So your blood results...

- Let me in!
-You can't go in there,

-Mr. Karandonis!
-Retta.

We're in the middle
of our consultation.

Oh, no, no, it's okay.
He's my husband.

Oh, what are you doing here?

Why didn't you tell me
you were pregnant?

Because I wanted to wait
until I knew for sure.

Well, in that case
congratulations.

-Oh, my God.
-Oh, my God.

That is like the best news ever.

-Really?
-Are you kidding?

Hey, thank you!

Hey, uh, can I hug my wife?

It's not going to hurt
the baby or anything?

-No, it's perfectly fine.
-Yeah!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God. We're having a baby!

-Yes!
-Oh, my God!

Oh, my God. We're having a baby!

Ah! Damn it.

-I've got it.
-Hey, why don't you head home?

I'm sure Dave won't mind.

-No, I'm fine.
-All right. Thanks, mate.

-Oh, it's pretty impressive.
-Yeah, absolutely.

-How's Jake going?
- Jake? Great.

-He doesn't look too good.
-Oh, I think

he's still having
a bit of trouble sleeping.

-Might have a chat to him.
-Ah, I don't think he wants

to talk right now.
You know he's not much

-of a morning person.
-Ah, damn it!

I'll have a pie
and a sauce, Jakey.

You've got good mates.

What?

Covering for you.
What's going on?

Just another bad night.

Have you slept?

Jesus, mate, how many drinks
did you have? You're sweating.

I can't believe you went
and got pissed

the night before a big job.
Didn't you hear

-what I said yesterday?
-Yeah, I wasn't just drinking.

-What do you mean?
-Well, I took a pill.

-What?
-Oh, come on, Dave,

-I think you heard me.
-Are you insane?

What the hell were you thinking?

Well, right now I have no idea!

-This isn't bloody funny.
-Believe me I'm not laughing!

Mate, I've seen what drugs
can do and if you want

to go down that road,
you're a bloody moron!

I'm disappointed in you, Jake.
What were you thinking?

Dave, you're not my dad!

Just piss off!

-Go home.
-What?

Go! Go!

Now!

It was my turn
to be judged

and there's no point
pleading your case

if you're guilty as sin.

-Are you okay?
-Yeah, I'm fine.

You can watch
something else if you like.

Hey, guess what?
We're pregnant!

-What?
- Yeah!

-We're having a baby.
-That's fantastic!

- Congratulations.
-Thanks, mate.

-How far along are you?
-Six weeks

so we really shouldn't be
telling anyone yet.

-Ben already knew.
-Really?

Yep. Poor Ben was in
the right place at the wrong...

Was it the wrong place
at the right...

-Is it the right--
-I found out.

Oh, I don't want to go to work.

I want to stay here
and celebrate.

I've got
to pick up something

from next door,
so I'll walk you out.

Congratulations again, guys.

-That's amazing news.
-Back soon.

Do you think
we can afford a baby?

Of course we can.
I'll get a second job.

You don't have to do that,
but we just might have

to cut back on a few luxurious.

Oh, anything for mini me.

I mean, mini us.

I can't believe
I'm going to be a dad!

-I'm going to call mom.
-Um, not yet.

Sadly, I don't think
it's going to write itself

just by staring at the screen.

Oh. No, I'm not
cut out for this.

It's taken me all day
to write five hundred words.

Actually, four hundred
and twelve words.

-When is it due?
-Don't remind me.

-Okay. I'll leave you to it.
-Hey, no, no, no.

No, you're busy.
I'll come back later.

No, no, no, no, no,
I need a break.

-What's up?
-Well, I'm giving Carbo

-and Retta some space.
-Ooh, why do they need space?

If I tell you, you're not
allowed to tell anyone.

Well, of course.

-Retta's pregnant.

-Oh, that's great!
-I didn't know

-they were trying.
-They weren't.

She took the pill
just before she got

food poisoning from the,
all you can eat,

-seafood buffet.
-Oh.

Why do they keep
going back there?

I just can't believe
they got pregnant so easily.

Mel and I
were trying for months.

That's really selfish, isn't it?

No.

Not at all.

I sent off my piece
about the cafe.

-That's good.
-Adam just texted back.

And?

He was really happy with it.

-That's great. Congratulations.
- Yeah.

He was impressed by the way
I'd taken onboard his advice.

- Right.
-And he's funny, too.

You should've seen the way
he egged on the waitress,

you know, the one that snorted?

Jules, I'm not interested
in joining the Adam fan club.

Oh. Sorry.

Darling, look,

I know you're disappointed
in Jake.

That's one way of putting it.

Yeah, still it's pretty out
of character for him.

-Maybe I just never knew him.
-Oh, hardly.

You know better than anyone
how confusing it

is to suddenly have your dad
back in your life.

What, so I should just let him
take drugs before work

'cause he's having a tough time?

-No, of course not.
-You should've seen him.

He was all over the place.
And some of the things

-that he said.
-Like what?

Darling, I wouldn't take
anything that Jake said

-this morning to heart.
-Look, he's my most

experienced worker,
I'm his boss,

-and I expect better from him.
-Yeah,

and he should know better.

Hey?

It sounds like he needs
your support right now.

Anyway.

Jake.

You haven't changed.

You know, I should've trusted
my gut from the start.

-What?
-My life was fine without you

and then you come back
and everything's turned to crap.

What happened?
Where's this coming from?

No, no, no, you can't cram
twenty five years

into whatever time
you've got left.

-Mate, come in, we'll talk.
-No, no, no, no, no, no!

No. There's no more time
