The Heights (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Episode #1.6 - full transcript

Previously on The Heights...

Hi, Mum.
Sabine. Dane.

Hey, hey. I see you.
You're stealing my business!

They're my groceries.
Oh, yeah?

You want to go out sometime?
On your pushbike?

I'm not going to be ready, Mum.

I'm not keeping that baby.

He also took out a few loans
against the pub.

Bastard.

So our only option is
to keep it up and running.

If we don't,
we could lose everything.



Cheers for this.

Would do it myself
but this little shi...

...precious tiny cherub won't let me
put him down long enough

to scratch my own backside.

Want me to do anything else?

Pav brought some food over earlier.
It's in the fridge.

Mind grabbing it out for me?

Come on. You going to take this?

Yeah?

Pav got you all this?

You know what he's like with food.

Come on.

You've got to be hungry. I am.

Hmm?



So I'll see you later?

Maybe come round about six?
What for?

Mahjong.

Sure you don't want
to skip this week?

Why would we do that?

Don't worry about him.
Just be here, Maxy.

OK.

Come on.

Come on, it's dinnertime.

Oh, darling.

Come on.

OK.

So, your dad and my mum.
Date number two tonight.

I know, it's getting serious now.

Is it just me or is it weird?
So weird.

Look, at least Dad's
going to be out,

which means I get the apartment
to myself.

Kam's going to come over
and we're just going to hang out.

Friends from my old school
were meant to come over to mine,

but they didn't want to trek it out
to Arcadia in the end.

What about your boyfriend
with the knee-high socks?

Dane? And he does not wear
knee-high socks.

He's hanging with his mates tonight.

Wow.

Double-whammy rejection.

I wasn't rejected.

I said he could go.
Still, home alone on a Friday night.

That's pretty pathetic.

Look, alright, I'll be the nice
friend and take pity on you.

Do you want to come over
and hang out with me and Kam?

We're just going to play PlayStation
and eat crap.

Hmm, I guess that sounds OK.

You guess?

You know what? Forget about it.

Consider yourself uninvited.

Shut up. I'll come.

Hey, man.

Ash said you cancelled soccer
this week.

Got an exam coming up.
Oh, yeah, I feel you.

Less chat, more work.

Wow, what a welcoming atmosphere
your mum creates in her store.

What are you doing in here anyway?

I'm just picking up some snacks.

Don't you work in a supermarket?

Why wouldn't you get them there,
with your discount?

Well, between you and me they're
starting to get a little suspicious

at me buying so much stuff.

Got to play it cool for a bit.

What's going on there?

Jimmy must be proposing
again.

Every couple of months, he comes in.

He buys flowers and fireworks,

then he asks his girlfriend
to marry him.

Every time she says no.

Wait, your... your mum
sells fireworks?

Yeah, when she can get them.

How much?

A bit. They're hard to get, so...

Just these, thanks.

Um, oh, and I'll take some sparklers
and whatever else you've got.

Don't worry, it's cool. I know.

Know what?

Know about the products...
from interstate.

The King Island brie? Just came in.

Ha. Guess again.

Why not?

Because you steal my customers.

Right now I AM a customer.

You're a kid.
You're gonna blow your face off.

I won't. They're not even for me.

They're not. It's for a family
member, for their wedding.

Adults only. I swear.

Now, you didn't get these from me.

Now, get out of here.

Do we really need to do this again?

Do what?
You know that beers are $4.70 now.

Pay up or I'll pour it
in the toilet.

Your granddad would be rolling over
in his grave.

He had class, integrity.

Wouldn't screw his own like this.

Didn't Bill sleep with
both of your wives?

Ah, what would you know?

Jesus, woman, you look like death.

You want to be castrated,
is that it?

Because I can make that happen.

You know Hazel, if you want
to get into my pants,

all you have to do is ask.

Here, your turn.

I need you to look after Patch until
oh... say ten.

I'm working.
Get Ana to cover you.

She's got the night shift
at the hospital.

Remember when you said I wouldn't
have to do this on my own?

Well, it sure feels like
I'm doing it on my own.

Well, I didn't expect to be
running this place,

dealing with these idiots
day in, day out.

I have a masters in English
literature and a bus licence,

thank you very much.

And I have plans.

I'm in a regular Mahjong game,
and I'm not interested in cancelling.

Look, I can either take Patch
and you watch the bar,

or I watch the bar
and you take Patch.

It's up to you.

Is it me or is the sexual tension
between us off the charts?

What about 6 o'clock? That should
give you enough time to get ready.

You really think it takes me
two hours to get ready?

Please.

So where should I meet you?

Um... ah, you know Corsinis?

Near the beach? Yeah, I know the one.

I'll just meet you out the front.

Perfect. See you there.

OK. See you then.

Aw, look at how excited you are.

It's so...
What's the word I'm looking for?

Tragic.

So, what time are Megan
and Sarah coming over?

They're not.

They dogged me so I'm gonna go
hang with Mich instead.

You are?

Him and this other guy Kam
are playing video games.

He said I could tag along.

At his dad's place?
Is that a problem, Mother?

No, daughter. It's just...

You don't want me hanging out
at the towers.

Not what I said.

Never took you for such a snob.

Oh, says the girl who refuses
to sleep on anything less

than a thousand threads.

Let me get this straight -
you can date a guy from the towers,

but I can't be friends
with a guy from the towers?

Again, not what I said.

I just... I want you to be safe.

And safe I shall be. At the towers.

With the only two people at my new
school who aren't complete weirdos.

You're going to do something
about that hair, right?

Oh!

You out of yellow Iso?

Sorry it's not cold.

Big day?

Yeah, Mark and I ended up on this
mansion on the other side of town.

Should've seen this place, man.
It was creepy.

Like "No-one would hear you scream"
kind of creepy?

Exactly that. Jog tomorrow arvo?

I can't. I'm working.

I've got the afternoon shift
for the rest of the week.

Ah, sucks.

I'm telling you, it's on.

I've changed 94 nappies this week.

Been peed on 13 times, vomited on 6.

Might as well be working at the pub.

Don't get me wrong -
this one's growing on me.

I mean, look at him. He's adorable.

But I've been hanging out for this
all week.

We're playing. Tonight. My place.

Alright, be a modern woman.

Think you can have it all?

You can't even carry it all.
Wait here.

What's that mother of yours
doing down the back?

Here. Take this. It was Sully's.

Now, he was a cute baby.

You've kept it all these years?
It's a good stroller.

Why shouldn't I keep it?

I don't know, Mum...
maybe to make space,

or prevent a fire hazard.

Then they grow up. Not as cute.

Here, take it.

Right.

Here.

Bathroom's through that way.

Everything else is pretty
self-explanatory, though.

This place is actually pretty nice.

You know it's more of a compliment

if you don't say
the "actually" part.

Dad and his mates IKEA'd it
when he first moved in.

Hey, babe, what's up?

Actually, I'm at Mich's place.

You've met him.
Yeah, the guy with the boots.

Huh? Nope, no parentals.

Oh, I thought you were
with the guys tonight.

No, I'm sure it'll be cool.

Hey, Kam. So, Mich, Dane was
wondering if he could come over,

hang out as well?

He wants to come here?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah I guess.

Yep, it's cool.

I'll text you the address.

See you soon.

Hey. So sorry I'm, uh... I'm late.

Wow, you look fantastic.

I was just catching us dinner and it
took a little longer than expected.

I'm not sure my secret spot
is a secret anymore.

What do you mean
you were catching us dinner?

I'll just, uh... wash this fish smell
off me,

and, uh, I'll get cooking.

Aren't we going to Corsinis?

Do you know how much they charge
for a couple of crays?

Then why did you tell me
to meet you here?

Ah, because it just seemed easier
than saying,

"Let's meet between two lamp posts

"and a bin with an ibis
eating out of it.'

Although that's... that's probably
a little misleading.

I'm sorry. Look, you... you do look
really fantastic.

I love the dress. You look
beautiful.

Um, we can go in there
if you'd like.

I... I can make that happen.

No.

Go and have a shower.
I can smell you from here.

OK, yeah, look I'll just be, uh,
two minutes. Two minutes.

Kimmy in 409 swears by it.

She said she'd leave her youngest
in it for hours with no problem.

Alright, let's give it a shot.

What is going on?

Little fella won't settle
unless Hazel's holding him.

Maybe we should go.

No. We're playing.
I'll figure something out.

Why don't you just let him cry?

Eventually he'll stop.

That explains a lot.

Wrap him up tight.

Tried that. Tried everything.

All this baby wants is to be held.

Maybe we should do this
another time?

No, we're not doing that.

How are you meant to play
if you can't use your hands?

I might have something
that can help.

It was Fatema's.

It borrowed to me
from my friend at mosque.

Are you sure you don't mind
giving it away?

Yes, it's OK.

Ah, it's that saying,
paying it in front.

Paying it forward.
Yes, that is it.

Ah.
Under there...

We playing or what?

That Rose chick had a nose job?

Yeah, heard she ordered
the Emma Watson.

She thinks she looks like Hermione?
She wishes.

Which one's Rose again?

Uh, blonde hair, blue eyes,
kinda looks like a shoe.

She does look like a shoe.

I'll get it.

Beanie!

Hey, babe.

Find the place alright?

Yeah, just followed
the trail of deros.

Mich, Kam,

this is Dane, Sarah, Megan, Alistair,
Tris and Nat.

Everyone, this is Mich and Kam.

Cool if we put these in the fridge?
Ah, yeah, man. Sure.

Thought you said you wouldn't
trek it out to Arcadia?

Yeah, guess curiosity
got the better of us.

I didn't know he'd bring others.
I hope it's all right.

Yeah. The more the merrier.

Drink?
Nah.

Um... Ah, yeah, just one.

Can't drink too much.
I've got a football game tomorrow.

Right.

Ow!

Should be ready in no time.

How do you like the hummus?

Yeah, it's... it's good.
Did you make it?

Yeah.

Oh! Ow.

There you go.

Thought of everything, haven't you?

Besides an appropriate rendezvous.

Again, I'm so sorry about that.

Look, it's totally fine,
and this is something different.

I should've just picked you up from
your place. That would've been easy.

Yeah, or given me
an appropriate dress code.

I do feel like a bit of an idiot
dressed like this out here.

Why don't you... take this?

There you go.

Slightly less idiotic.

Mm! Weed and body spray.

Smells just like high school.

Well, I've had it since
high school actually.

Yeah, I can tell.

Someone should go and tell them
to turn it down.

Oh, let the kids have their fun.

You're getting soft
in your old age, Murphy.

And you're becoming quite
the risk taker, calling me old.

See this child, kiddo?

This is what's going to help
your nan keep her well-earned title.

He really is cute.
Got his mum's nose.

Just like Shannon's.

What's with you lot?
Oh, 'cause I brought up Shannon.

They think if you hear the name
you'll fall to pieces.

No. We just didn't want to bring
her down, that's all.

I'm fine.

I can hear my own kid's name without
needing a Scotch and a lie-down.

Any news?

Spoke to the cops the other day.
Still nothing.

But they are still looking for her?

Turns out there's not
much they can do.

Shan went of her own accord.

She doesn't want to be found.

Sorry, dude, I've gotta go.

What? Why?

All this booze.
My uncle would kill me.

I know, man, but please don't leave
me alone with these people.

Fine, man, but you owe me, yeah?

Which one of you is Mich again?

Sabine tells me that you're some
sort of PlayStation whisperer.

Yeah.
Well, you wanna play?

Sure.

Why would you bring Tris?
You know he's a loose unit.

Which is what makes him fun.

Maybe we should join the others.

Or maybe we shouldn't.

Maybe we should get out of here
instead.

Be alone.
And go where?

I dunno. Let's go get something
to eat or something.

We can't just leave Mich alone to
deal with all of our crazy friends.

Why not?
Because that's douchey. Isn't it?

Think he's dealing on his own
just fine.

Quick, before anyone notices.

Three circle.

Anyone want to say it with me?

No? No takers?

Suit yourselves.

Mahjong!

And the streak remains intact!

What are you doing here?

Where'd all this come from?
Max brought it over.

And what's all this?
What's it look like?

A UN meeting.
I thought you would have cancelled.

Didn't need to in the end.

It's about time we called it
a night, I think.

Same time next week?

If you haven't completely
fallen apart, sure.

You need a hand with this lot?
No, I'll be right.

Nigh-night. Goodnight, all.

Goodnight.

Had a good night?
No thanks to you.

How was the pub?

Dead.

Why don't you go run yourself
a bath?

You sure?
Go on.

Enjoy being alone for 20 minutes.

I've got him.

No, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait.
Seriously, my dad's going to freak.

Soz, but it's already opened.
It'd be a waste not to drink it now.

What you looking at? Oi.

Hey, Fetu. How you doing, man?

Yeah, good. Listen, your dad home?

Um...

Yeah, had a noise complaint.

Look, we need to come in.

Alright, party's over.

Get out.

Out!

Hey, there's nothing in there.

I... I don't even drink.

I think that's...

Should I get... get another?

Do you know me at all?

You ever going to tell me
what happened to your leg?

I was, uh, saving some orphans
from this burning building,

and when I went back
to get the kitten

I slipped over and twisted my ankle.

Don't buy that for a second, do you?

OK, so I was...

...I was chasing a suspect and I fell
three storeys off a balcony.

And I... I shattered my, my ankle.

I broke my tibia
and I broke my heel.

A calcaneal fracture.
Yeah, that's the one.

Just bones going everywhere.

I didn't realise it was that bad.

See, usually I score more points
with the... the orphan line.

Well, you've never dated a doctor.

So, no more policing, then?

Well, bung-legged cops aren't really
in much demand these days.

I did sit at a desk for a while
but...

...shuffling papers
wasn't really for me.

You needed more excitement
and action in your life.

Yeah, maybe.

The main thing was I just didn't
feel like I was helping anyone.

That's why I became a cop
in the first place, so it was...

...it just... I don't know,
it was just pointless.

Still trying to push
the compensation claim through.

Oh, and they're taking ages?
Yeah, big-time.

You see there, that... that look...

...that's why I didn't want
to tell you.

This look? No, this is me impressed.

Oh.

How's the crayfish?
Mmm!

Better than Corsinis?

Oh, well, I wouldn't know.
I've never been.

No, me neither,
but I hear it's crap.

Oh, is that right?
It's so bad. I hear it's so...

But if you'd like a crap meal
in a crap location,

I can always take you there
for our third date.

Oh! Third date?

What makes you think
there'll be a third date?

Well, if you play your cards right.

I'm just going to, um, I'm just
going to throw this in the ocean.

No, just take it.
It might be important.

Hello?

Yeah, um... Yeah, we can.

We, we...
What?

We've got to go.

We just want to know
where you got them.

Come on, don't be stupid.

What's going on?
You know this guy?

That's... He's my brother.

Your little bro here's been caught
with some illegal fireworks.

We need to know where
they've come from.

I told you I found them.

I can issue you with a fine for
$1,000 or he can tell me the truth.

Which one do you think's
going to be quicker?

Start talking.

So, what happened
to my coffee table?

Mich?

Some... some guy fell through it.
Some guy?

What... what guy?

I forgot his name.

So what was this, uh, nameless guy
doing in our apartment?

Really?

Mich, you're going to have
to start talking.

Look, none of this is my fault.
I didn't invite anybody.

Sabine did.

Sabine? Where is she?

I don't know.
I haven't seen her in a bit.

What do you mean you haven't seen
her? She was here, wasn't she?

Yeah.
Well, where did she go?

She left with her boyfriend.
Dane was here?

Did they say where they were going?

Oh, great. Oh, that's just great.

I can drive you if you like.
No, it's fine.

You sort this out.
No, it's OK.

OK, I'll, uh...
I'll call you tomorrow.

Alright, let's clean up, shall we?

Since when do you sell
fireworks anyway?

Do you have any idea
how dangerous that is?

It's not like I was going
to sell them to kids.

Still, what were you thinking?

That I'd flog them on New Year's
and make a killing.

Yeah. How much did you lose?

Enough.

At least the cops didn't fine me.

But now you're on their radar.

You're not going to tell Uncle,
are you?

Hello, little man.
Hello, hello.

You coming with me?

Hello.

Hello, hello.

Come on.

Yeah.

Hello.

You've reached Shannon.
Leave me a message.

Unless you're selling something,
'cause I don't want it.

Shan, it's Mum.

Don't know if you're
getting these or not,

but if you are, give us a call,
let us know you're OK.

Little Patch here would love
to hear from you too.

You've reached Shannon.
Leave me a message.

Unless you're selling something,
'cause I don't want it.

That's your mum.

That's your mum.

Sabine?

You better have a bloody good reason
as to why you left Mich's.

Mum! Get out!

Hey.

Um, so... yep.

I should probably go.

Yes. You should.

I'll call you tomorrow.

How was your date?

Right, well, I'll...

I'm entitled to know what goes on
under my own roof.

Yeah, well, it's my life
and it's my body

and I'm entitled
to make my own decisions.

Nobody move! We don't sell to him.

He's banned.
Wait... What?

Your mates after you bailed,
you left me to deal with them.

I'll make it up to you somehow.

You know what? Forget it.

Mich.
