Packed to the Rafters (2008–2013): Season 5, Episode 6 - Secret Fears - full transcript

Coby spares no effort on a 'casual' surprise for Frankie, in secret despite his house-mates's growing suspicions, but she appreciates his birds couple tattoo design, only to specify later she has no romantic interest in him. Everybody fears Jake's verbal outburst'You're not my dad!' wrecked his close report with Dave, but ultimately a boys night and singalong helps mend it once Jake has turned away his ever-absent, dying biological father Jim. Ben finally uses the L-word. Dave must also face nightmares about Julie engaging in adultery with her editor Adam Goodman, who makes her an irresistible offer to fill in as his magazine's 'content coordinator'.

Jules?

Are you getting that?

Rafter electri...

Hello? Jules?

It's not play dough, Rubes.

Jules?

We've all got them.
Secret fears.

Those things we're so afraid
of we can't even admit them

to ourselves.

You right there, Dave?

- Hey Dave, Dave?
- What?



Babe, are you all right?

Man, man. Jules?

Oh, sweetheart,
you're not making sense.

Oh. Weird dream.

It sounds like a nightmare.

-Yeah.
-Oh.

Darling is this about
facing Jake today?

It'll be fine.

No, it's not that.

-What--
-That doesn't help.

You know what?
Just get some more sleep.

Things will be better
when you wake up.

Oh, no, my mind's racing.
I better get moving.

Well, do you want me
to make you a cup of tea?



No, just, just grab
an extra half an hour

while you can.

It's just your standard
bad dream.

Okay, okay.

Dave will be cool.

He's already had his spray
about drugs.

It's ancient history.

No, it's not about that.

Well, plus it was yesterday.

Who remembers yesterday?

Yeah... No guys it's
not just about the pill thing.

Well, what then?

Oh... No, it's not worth
discussing, seriously.

It's me Dave's down on
and I can't say I blame him.

He'll come good, you'll see.

Yep, and if he doesn't,
we can always score him

a pill, too.

It's too soon. I'm sorry.

- Half an hour, yeah?
- Yes.

You should see
what you can get now,

little baby Acca Dacca t-shirts,

baby muscle cars
they can actually drive--

So, you're sure it's a boy?

-No, it's a girl.
-Oh, Carbo

I love you
for wanting a daughter.

And I love you for being you.

-I love you.
- I love you.

- I love you.
- I love you.

-I love you.
-I love you.

So, a daughter, huh?

Oh, you better believe it.

I've already ordered
the pink rattly toys

-and three pink grow-suits.
-Oh, I'm going to be sick.

I'll hold you head back
while you spew

'cause that's how much
I love you.

Of course tomorrow
he'll be thinking it's a boy.

Things aren't weird
between us, are they?

No, of course not.
Why would they be?

Hmm, the three little words,

the ones we just heard
a million times.

Should I not have said them?

No, no, it's not that.

I guess it's all the baby talk.

Are you happy for them?

Yeah, of course.
It's just so nonstop.

The thought of the next
eight months does my head in.

Does that make sense?

Yes.

Well, look at you.

- Ah.
-Photoshop.

That is not.
That's me untouched.

Come on. Surely
you've had some work done

-around the eyes.
-No, that's how I look.

See? Look.

And ten times cuter
in the flesh.

Oh, pff.

The article's
pretty good too.

Kids leaving the nest...
Coping strategies.

What so hysterical crying's
a coping strategy now, is it?

Yeah, all right, enough.

Now, who's this fellow?

That's Andrew, Julie's boss.

Adam and the joke's
getting a little old, Dave.

Good looking fellow.

-Photoshop.
-Photoshop.

Clearly jokes
weren't the best way

to deal with my fears.

We're so busy. Got so much on.

Got to get through it though.

I'm going to squeeze in this
catch up with Adam tomorrow,

whatever that's about.

He was pretty vague
on the phone.

Ah, if I've gone mad
by teatime, just shoot me.

Maybe action
was the way to go.

Oh, hello.
Well, I'm not that busy.

Hey. You in there?

We've got to get moving.
Come on, Cobes.

Get your arse into gear.

Yeah, I'm just running
a bit late.

What are you doing in there?

What are you painting
the ceiling mould?

No, chroming, to take
the edge off. Oh, ten seconds.

I'll meet you outside.

-All right, I'm counting.
-Oh.

Done.

-Oh, mate--
-Jake?

-What do you want?
-To chat maybe?

Well, I've got no time.
I'm sorry.

Look I, I heard what you said.

I know it's hard for you,
me lobbing back

into your life like this.

I don't want anything from you.

Yeah, well, good.

-I just want to know--
-So, okay,

so you do want something.

What happened?

I thought we were doing fine.

You came around, we talked,
a cup of coffee,

everything was good,
then last night

you got a head full of steam.

I... I've got to go to work.
I don't need this.

I don't get a chance
to tell my side?

Come on, mate.

He doesn't want to talk to you.

I... It's like this.

I come around to your place.

You tell me you're crook
and you need to lie down,

and when I come back later
you're heading out the door

with your best mate,
laughing and looking

like you never felt better.

I did feel better.

I'd taken my medication.

Oh, don't, just don't!

You are the same selfish
user who bailed on us

years ago
and I'm not buying into it.

Why would I lie?

Why did you run out on us!

Why would you do anything
that you do?

I don't know
'cause I don't know you!

-Jake--
-No.

-Jake--
-Let's go.

Please, Jake...

That was a nice way
to start the day.

-Nice?
-Very nice.

Got to keep
that old magic alive, eh?

-Hey.
-Hey.

You sure you're
all right to work today?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Just tell me what you
need me to take out.

Oh, well, those
architrave switches.

Got them.

Here I'll take that.
I've got it.

Matt with us today?

Ah, no. He stayed in the van.

Thought it might be safer.

That went down well.

Look, Dave...

I really want you to know
that I'm sorry for what I did.

Yeah, well,
look, it's probably best

we forgot about that. Move on.
We've got work to do.

Sure.

All right, was there anything
else you want me to take?

-No, that's it.
-Okay.

Hey, he's trying.

Like I said,
probably best forgotten.

They're just words, right?

Why does everyone think
they're so important?

"I love you." See? Simple.

"I like you, Emma.
I really, really like you."

It doesn't have the same ring
to it, does it?

Okay, so what if I say it
before I feel it?

I know I'll feel it eventually,

I'm just getting in
a bit early, right?

It's not a crime, is it?

You're no help.

Want one?

Ben called.
Footy's on tonight at Carbo's.

I said we're in.
That includes you, Frankie.

-You too, Jake.
- No, sorry, mate.

I'm still a bit shaky
from yesterday.

Good, that's a yes.
Cobes?

No, no, I can't, mate.
I've got a TAFE assignment.

Come on. A few beers
after a hard day can't hurt.

Sorry, Bootsy.
Got to plead soft on this one.

I can't believe we're related.

Would've helped
if I'd remembered the specs.

Do you want me to go
and pick them up for you?

No, it's okay. Got to grab
another couple of things.

Well, I've just finished
this cable run.

You want to have a look at it?

No, you should know
what you're doing.

Here, I've got it.

-I've got it.
-Oi, don't even.

I thought I had you guys
trained by now.

Oh, you had, you have. Yep.

Are you watching the game?

Ah, no, I've got TAFE work,
but you're going, yeah?

Yeah, it should be a good one.

Yeah, I was wondering
if you had time to drop

around to our place beforehand?

Ten minutes, like, five even.

Sure. You need a hand
with something?

Oh, more something I want you
to take a look at.

Like what?

Oh, it's easier if I show you.

Hm. Now you got me interested.
Can I have a clue?

No, I can't explain.

-So are you coming or not?
-Sure.

Someone's wound
a little bit tight.

All right, I'll drop past
on my way.

Cheers.

Rafter electrical.

Oh, Adam, hi. What?

Sorry, I thought
it was tomorrow.

Oh, no... Oh, things have just
been really crazy around here.

I've just got
all the accounts to do and...

Ah, yeah, well,
I might be able to leave them.

Actually, you know,
no, I can't make it.

Sorry.
Day job's got to come first.

10:30, great. See you then.

-Day job?
-Well, yeah.

It's a little
more than that, Jules.

It's our livelihood.

Yeah, I know that.

That's why I put off
the meeting.

You can't say I'm not
supportive of this thing

that you're doing
with the newspaper,

but you've got
to get your priorities right.

-What?
-Coffee before it gets cold.

What? This thing?

No, this is important
to me, Dave.

It's really important.

And I'd appreciate it
if you took it as seriously

as I take all the other "things"

that I have to do around here.

A row was
the last thing I wanted.

Those secret fears
were getting the better of me.

Between Jake and Adam,

they were getting harder
and harder to contain.

Well I just don't understand
why he's being so unreasonable.

I mean, he was being
unreasonable, wasn't he?

Well, he's probably got a bit
on his mind at the moment.

-What, and I haven't?
-No, no, I didn't say that.

And anyway, that's no excuse
for having a go at me.

Excuse me.

-Mm?
-I know I'm intruding.

I've probably got it all wrong
but you don't write

a column in the local paper,
do you?

-Um--
-She most certainly does.

What, have you read it?

Yeah. Everything you said
about home and work

and about secretly wanting
a bit of acknowledgement,

and feeling guilty
about wanting it...

It's exactly how I feel.

-Really?
-Really.

And you know
it's just so nice to know

I'm not the only one
going mad, so...

Anyway, I just wanted
to tell you

and now I have
so I'll get out of your way.

-Well--
-And, thank you.

-No, no, thank you.
-See you.

-Oh.
-It looks like you're famous.

Oh, dad, one reader.

Well, she did seem
to like it though, didn't she?

Yeah.

Oh, there were millions of them.

We had to beat them off
with water cannons.

There was one
and she wasn't actually a fan.

Oh, don't be so modest, Jules.

She thought you were terrific.

Well, she is.

It's just a couple
of hundred words

in a local paper.

Yeah, a couple
of hundred words every week.

And we're proud of you.
I'm proud of you.

Thanks.

Anyway, column or no column,
it's time to get Ruby up.

Did she really say
all those things?

Oh, she certainly did
and I could see

it meant a lot to Jules,

especially out
of the blue like that.

You think I'm forgiven?

You're getting there.

But a dinner
might seal the deal?

You wouldn't be in the mood to
do me a favor, would you, Ted?

Mind Ruby.

Yeah. Sorry about
the short notice.

Peace and harmony, Dave,

and I'm more than happy
to do my share.

Good on you, Ted.

If you're looking for these--

-They're here.
-Mate.

You have got yourself
a lifetime designated driver

because I have given up
the grog.

Oh, if I'd a dollar
for every time

I uttered those words.

No, I mean it.

Yeah, I meant it, too,
every time.

You're going to miss the start
unless you get going.

No, there's all
that "rah rah" stuff first.

They always drag it out.

No, they don't. Not always.

Anyway, didn't Ben say early?

What, are you trying
to get rid of us, mate?

No. Yes, I've got
a lot of work to do

-and it's all due tomorrow.
-When did you get so boring?

-Just go!
-Okay, we're going...

We're going. Come on, Boots.

All work and no play.

Are you sure
you don't want to come?

No... Yes... What?

What happened to your shirt?

What? Hey? I'm hot. I've...

Study, it does that.

I've got hot brain.
What are you doing back?

I left my wallet.

Okay, well, it's there.

-Anything else?
-No, not that I know of.

-A special service.
-Oh.

I couldn't let just anyone
bring these out.

We're honored. Flattered even.

So, tell me about your day.
Both of you.

Um...

- Um...
-You want to be alone.

I understand.

All right then, well,
enjoy and call out

-if you need anything.
-Yep.

I thought she'd never leave.

Well, this is lovely.
It's just what I needed.

Yes. You might need these.

Those pesky paparazzi
can get a bit much sometimes.

Very funny.

So, do you want
to talk now or later?

Talk?

Well, why do you think
I brought you out for dinner?

Um, a spontaneous
romantic gesture?

With a hidden agenda. Go on.

Ooh, well, there's not
a lot I really want to say.

I'm a big boy. I can take it.

Okay...

Well, you know I love you

and I want to and I will do

everything that I can to help
with the business.

But at the end of the day
that's your dream, not mine.

Fair enough.

I need something for myself

and maybe that's the writing.

I don't know.
It might be part of it.

But whatever it is,
I can't put it on hold

until Ruby's 18.

I'll be too old.

It might've passed me by.

Does that make sense?

Yes, it does.

And I'm really happy for you
to go for it.

Really?

Yeah, but the only thing
is that sometimes,

the male ego gets in the way

and makes me forget that

not everything revolves
around me, so--

A kick in the bum now and then?

I was thinking more
of a gentle reminder.

How about we meet halfway?

Good plan.

Frankie.
I forgot you were coming.

-Well, here I am.
- Hey.

Yeah, sorry. Yeah, come in.

Would you like a sit, a seat?

I've got nuts.

Peanuts. I happen...
I happen to have peanuts...

-Thank you.
-...for you.

So I'm going to get you a drink.

The, uh...

wine's nice and cold.

So kind of like a wine slushie.

So...

Can you smell something burning?

-No, I can't smell anything.
- Mm.

But it smells like
burning plastic.

No, can't smell it.

So, thanks, thanks for coming.

You're welcome.

Too cold?

Yeah, just a little bit.

So you wanted
to show me something?

Oh, yeah, that can wait.

What is it, a TAFE thing?

No, it's...

it's in the garage

but you know you're busy,
so that's no problem.

-Coby.
-What, okay.

Follow me.

No, it's, it's nothing special
like or anything,

so if you don't like it
that's, you know,

it's not a problem.

Like what exactly?

Well, you know how
you wanted bluebirds?

Yeah, my tat.

So, what I thought
and this is just for instance...

It's pretty crap, isn't it?

You can tell me honestly,
I won't be offended.

Well, I might be a little
bit offended but--

Co... Shut up.

You did this for me?

Yeah.

It's too much.

It's too detailed?
It's too detailed. Isn't it?

I should've done one bird
instead of two.

That's okay. I can do it again.

Take, it'll just take
a few sort of--

Hey! Don't... No.
Don't touch it. It's perfect.

It's not too much?

It's a thank you gift.

What for?

Well, I would've ditched TAFE
ages ago if it wasn't for you.

It's nothing.

But this is an...

Well...

So, look, I figure
you can put it on your wall

and if after a few months

you don't completely hate it

then you can get it in ink.

It's amazing. I mean it.

Just one thing,

the guys...

Private.

Your secret's safe.

So, how are things with Jake?

Not great.

Oh, really?

Yeah, I keep thinking
about something that he said

-on site yesterday.
-What'd he say?

"You're not my dad."

Oh.

Yeah, and look,
I know I'm not his dad,

but when he said it

and how he said it--

It hurt.

Yeah.

A bit of a kick in the guts.

Well, if it makes you feel
any better

he knows he's done
the wrong thing.

He's on eggshells around you
at the moment.

Yeah, and that's the problem.
He keeps acting like

he's the apprentice
and I'm the boss.

That's never the way
I wanted it to be.

Well, you are the boss

and pulling staff into line
is part and parcel of the job.

Jake knows that.

Not often you admit
that I'm the boss.

Well, you're Jake's boss.

I think we all know
where the real power lies.

Yeah, yeah. Behind every
great man is a great--

Great, Donna.

Hello.

Chocolate mint anyone?

I'm spoiling another moment,
aren't I?

I'm sorry.

Come on, mate. Kick it!
Come on, kick it!

Yeah, yep, yep.

- Yes!
- You beauty!

He was offside, you idiot!

It's AFL, proper footy.
There's no offside.

No, they do so.
Look, look at the replay.

Come on, take the mark! Take it!

Hey, make yourself useful.

Hi, guys. I let myself in.

-Hey, Frankie.
-Hi.

What did I miss?

The red guys are thrashing
the black and yellow guys.

Where've you been?

Oh, I just had something
I had to do at home.

-Come on. Yes!
-Woo!

Hey.

-Hey.
-You okay?

Sure.

Well, I'm sorry.

I don't mean to put up barriers.

But you can't tell me
what the problem is, right?

Right.

I promise it's not about you.

You know the,
the man of few words thing

will only get you so far.

Oh, it's worked for me
this long, hasn't it?

No, thank you for understanding.

I appreciate it.

Mate, we're dying
of thirst out here.

-Yeah, we're out.
- Oh, all right.

It's going to have to be
a beer run. Literally.

Back in 30.

Oh, no, no, no, no.
I'll go for a drive.

I'm losing in there anyways.

- Hey.
- Hey.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Are you watching the footy?

Yeah.

Well, some of the guys
are over there, just the usual.

Hopefully you're all
being civilized.

So far.

I'm just on a beer run.

Oh, well, we've got plenty
in the shed.

You should take some of that.

-That's all right, isn't it?
-Yeah, sure.

Oh, no.

I probably need some air
anyway, so...

Well, if you want
to come over it's--

Oh, no. I'm pretty much done in.

All right. Night.

Goodnight, Jake.

You should go.
You might enjoy it.

No, he was just being polite.

And that was the problem.

We didn't do polite.

The fear was that things
had changed

and might never
be the same again.

-What's this?
-My resignation.

Hey, steady on.
Let's talk about this.

No, Dave,
you don't get it, do you?

You're not my dad
and you never will be.

Hello?

Adam.

Julie here?

Where?

Here.

Wow.

How are you?

Put those in water, will you?

That's my wife.

Don't wait up.

And did I mention,
you're a lousy boss.

You're a lousy boss.

Those secret fears
weren't letting go.

They were getting
out of control.

What's that?

A receipt for some gear.

I forgot to give it to you
ages ago.

Oh, right. Yeah, okay.

So, do you want me to start
or wait 'til you--

Yeah, start.
You and Coby know what to do.

I'll follow with Frankie.

Righto.

Hey, I'm loving the painting.

Those birds
are practically singing.

Well, look at you
in your best frock.

Oh, just trying to look
professional.

-Yeah, you look great.
-Yeah.

I've just got to finish
something off

before the meeting,
so don't distract me.

I can distract you, can't I?

Skip the meeting and I'll take
the morning off, too.

No, Dave, darling.

Frankie,
can you take him away, please?

Knock them dead.

Thanks.

-Julie.
-Hi.

Meeting in a public place.

Is this so I won't make
a scene when you fire me?

And the reason I asked the staff

to put out the plastic cutlery.

-Julie, you're not fired.
-Oh.

You're doing great.
I love your work.

-Woo.
-It's great.

-That's good to hear.
-Yes.

So great in fact I want
to fly something by you.

Okay.

Now, I know that you're busy,

you may not have time
for this but...

Erica is going
on maternity leave.

Yeah, well, I figured
she would sooner or later.

Right. So my question to you is

would you be willing
or interested

in filling her position,

-as content coordinator?
-What?

Well, well, how?
I don't have any experience.

Neither did she
when she first started.

Listen, it's basically just

a fancy term for
a pretty straight forward job.

It's a glorified admin position.

Right.

-So far so dull, right?
-No--

But it'll give you a good handle
on how the paper works,

the writing process
and who knows?

It might even help you
hone your writing skills.

Mm.

So that's it.

That's my pitch.

What do you say?

Oh, I don't know what to say.

It's amazing.

Oh, listen, can I...

-can I think about it?
-No, just say yes.

I know you want to.

It's written all over your face.

Oh. I... Yeah, I know.

I need to talk to Dave first.

Okay.

-Can I let you know tomorrow?
-Absolutely.

Thank you.

-For what?
-For thinking of me.

Hey.

Did the meeting go okay?

Yep, well, no.

Well, I don't know.

Adam's offered me a job.

Content coordinator.

It's an admin role.

What, full time?

No, no, two days a week while
someone's on maternity leave.

Well, I thought you wanted
to be a writer?

Well, no,
I'd still have my column

and this way I'd be exposed
to writing all the time.

Great.

So do you...
Do you want to do it?

Well, it'd only be
for a couple of months

and I'd still keep up
the accounts here.

Okay.

You think it's a terrible idea,
don't you?

No, of course I don't.

If it's what you want
and it's important to you--

Yeah, I think it is.

Well, then you should do it.

Do you really mean that?

Yeah, course I do.

-Congratulations.
-Oh.

Are you sure
you're fine with it?

Yep, fine. Absolutely.

Me, I'm out of here. You?

Ah, yeah, just about done.

Might swing by the pub.

Think I deserve a drink
after today.

-That's a good thought.
-Yeah.

How about you? Do you want
to come down for one or...

Yeah, sure, why not.

-The others coming?
-Probably.

Yeah, I was just about
to call them actually

-and tell them it's on.
-All right.

I'll just finish up here
and I'll meet you there.

Yep.

All done.

Oh, thanks for hanging back.
I appreciate it.

Oh, you know me.

Always sniffing around
for a bit of extra work.

Are you out of here?

Unless you need a hand
with that washing there--

Go home, Matt.

-Same time tomorrow?
-Ah, yeah. I'll see you then.

Actually,
what are you doing tonight?

Nothing. Why?

You fancy a couple of beers?

Yeah. It sounds good to me.

That's all right with you,
isn't it?

Well, right now
I'm feeling very favorably

disposed towards you,
so make the most of it.

All right.
Your place in an hour.

Our place?

Are you sure
you don't want to do it here?

Why?

Well, you and Jake
aren't exactly

on the best of terms
at the moment...

Yeah.

Like I said, your place,
one hour.

I couldn't do anything
about Adam,

but maybe I could about Jake.

It was time
to confront my fears.

-Here we go.
-Thanks.

So how come
you're all spruced up?

Have you got a wedding to go to?

Hey?

What this? No.

Just found it
in the back of my wardrobe,

thought I'd drag it out.

Anymore spray starch

and it could've walked here
itself.

I'm just messing with you.

What's up your bum?

Nothing. I'm fine.

Slackers. Where are they?

Maybe they're late.

You only rang them an hour ago.

I'm going to put a rocket
under them.

No, no, no. Don't do that.

Why not?

Because they probably
just got caught up,

you know, they'll come...

or they won't.

But they said they were coming?

I guess.

You did ask them?

Sure.

Not exactly. Kind of.
Not really.

Why not?

Well, because I thought
it'd be nice

if you and I could have a drink.

Sure.

But why?

Me?

You and me?

It's sounding good so far.

Isn't it?

Oh, Coby, I...

You are a great guy.

One, one of the best, but...

Hey, sure, yeah. No problem.

You know I just thought,
you know,

it's the guy's job to try

and, you know, I tried.

So moving right along...

And who did I see
in the front row of my gig,

but the bloke that did a runner

from my cab the week before.

-So what'd you do?
-Well, me and the drummer

in between sets,
we grabbed him, right,

and told him
we're going to call the cops.

-Whoa, wait and did you?
-Yeah, no way.

It turns out he's a bass player

-and a pretty decent one, too.

-You're a soft touch.
-No way.

Do you know how hard it is
to find a decent bassist?

Well, it's getting late.

I better head I think.

Hey.

Ah, there's a...
a couple of beers

in the fridge if you want one.

Oh, yeah, I'm not
really drinking at the moment.

Oh, all right,
another time then.

Look, just give us a sec
and I'll go and get changed.

Okay.

Awkward.

I have the perfect ice breaker.

-Huh?
-Oh.

What do you want me to do,
serenade him?

Music, mate.

The great leveler. Come on.

A bit of old fashioned
rock and roll.

How can you say no?

Well, he's pretty cute.

Are you sure there's no chance?

He's young.

Eager to please
like a Labrador puppy.

Oh, he put his heart out there
and I crushed it.

But still, a guy
telling you how he feels,

that makes a nice change.

Oh, let me guess, Jake?

He's obviously upset
about this stuff with his dad.

I just want to help.

You really like him, don't you?

Oh.

Oh, is this the love glow
that I'm sensing?

Don't you dare say anything.

I don't know, Sian.
I might let it slip at smoko.

-Frankie, I mean it!
-Okay. Okay.

It's in the vault.

Jake's so cut up about Dave.

He really likes him.

What's not to like?

What's that supposed to mean?

What? Nothing.

What?

Oh, my God.

No, I know what you're
thinking and you're wrong.

-He's your boss.
-Wrong.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Why do you do this
to yourself, Frankie?

A nice single guy
throws himself at you

and you have your sights
set on the one you can't have.

He's married. End of story.

Ah, guys...

Hey, guys, do you want
to keep the decibels

-down a bit I think?
-Can't stop.

Dueling banjos.

-Well, yeah, guitar.
- Oh, yeah, whatever.

Oi!

We can hear youse
from down the street!

-Oh, all right.
-You bunch of nannas.

Consider a gift from us to you.

They're... They're actually
not too bad.

-Thank you.
-I'm going to hit the sack.

-So--
-Yeah, oh, look,

I might hit the sack too, eh.

You quitter.

Yeah, it's getting kind of late.

Well, unless you guys
want to play something

that's not
like that noise pollution.

-Yeah. Really?

Well, you know,
I mean, the ending.

Jake?

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

Can I have one minute?

It's important.

Yep.

I'm sorry.

Gee, talk about not taking no
for an answer.

I'm not here to try
and make you believe me.

All right.

You know earlier tonight
I was... I was...

I was actually hunting
for my medical records,

so that I could show you,
you know, and prove

that I really am sick

and then I thought,
what's the point?

You know, maybe you were right.

Maybe there are some things
that are just too broken,

-never to be fixed.
-Yeah, but you did that.

You're the one that broke it.

I know that.

And from now on
I will stay out of your life.

I was selfish coming back
trying to make up for year,

for look...

Anyway, you have turned out

every bit the way
I thought you would.

I know you think
you don't know me,

but I feel I know you.

And your mother,
she did a stunning job and I...

and I...

I'm so proud of you.

You're a good man.

Goodbye, Jake.

You all right?

Yeah.

All good.

You know, there's no law
that says you can't change

your mind
about seeing him again.

Mm.

No, look, I made
the right decision.

The only connection
we've got is blood

and it's not enough.

Yeah, as long as you don't
have any regrets.

Mm.

Well, I've got one
but it's not about Jim.

It's something I said to you
a couple of days ago,

the dad thing.

I was out of line,
you know, I'm sorry.

I just was a bit run down
and I didn't know

what I was saying and all that.

Yeah, I know.

I mean, you'll be
more of a dad to me

than that bloke will ever be.

I'm glad you feel that way.

Cheers.

How's our form
pouring our hearts out?

Yeah.

I'll be getting you
to interpret my dreams next.

Had any good ones?

Yeah, actually
the other night I...

What?

No, nothing.

I've had too many beers.

It's all right.

Jules.

Jules.

Jules, are you awake?

-Jules!
-Oh!.

I was hoping you'd give up.

Yeah, no chance.

Uh. A good night?

-Yeah, it was fun.
-Mm.

-You and Jake okay?
-All sorted.

All it took was a little bit
of Jimmy Barnes.

Mm, I'm glad.

Which is why
I had to tell you something.

You know that dream that I had?

Oh, you woke me up
to tell me about a dream?

Well, it's been worrying me.
A bit.

Actually, I can't stop
thinking about it.

Was it really bad?

Well, you seemed
to be enjoying it.

Okay, anyway,
it's the middle of the day...

-Mm.
-...the place is a mess

and Ruby's been left
all on her own

and the phone's ringing
and I go looking for you

and I find you in bed.

You look all happy and flushed
and then Adam walks in

wearing nothing
but a towel around him.

Hang on.
Adam, Southern Standard, Adam?

-Mm.
-What, he walks in? Then what?

Well, he asks me
if I'm all right

and then I, I wake up.

Oh.

-It's pretty silly, yeah?
-Yeah.

It hasn't really
been worrying you, has it?

Yeah.

Oh, darling,
it's just a dream.

It doesn't mean anything.

Yeah.

- Adam?
-Mm.

Really?

What?

Well, next time
could you at least

give me George Clooney?

Yeah, I'll see
if he's available.

Can I go back to sleep now?

Yeah, sure.

Adam.

Sometimes
the best way to handle

our secret fears
is to say them out loud.

But that's not always the case.

-Hey.
-Mm?

I like having you here with me.

I like being here.

Good.

All sorted then.

See you in the morning.

Emma?

Mm?

I love you.

Emma?

You don't have to say it.

Honestly, you don't.

But I want to because it's true.

Listen, it doesn't have
to be this big thing.

-I don't mind.
-Shh.

I love you.

Very much.

Oh, Ben.

I love you too.

When you finally speak
your fears,

you might suddenly
be free of them.

I think it's my turn
to keep the magic alive.

Although saying
your fears out loud

might just mean
you're passing them

on to someone else.
