[theme music playing]

[baby crying]

[Julie sighs]

-[owl hooting]
-[dog barking]

[baby cooing]

[Dave] Sometimes,
I think that we're not

that different from
our prehistoric ancestors.

[door creaking]

[Dave] The roar of a lion
in the distance and we're up...

Jules?

...and out of the cave.

Do you hear that?

[upbeat music playing]

[Dave] I guess
it's the price of parenthood.

[upbeat music playing]

[Dave] It's like we're
hardwired to protect.

But that wiring can get
a little bit out of whack.

Especially when you haven't
had a decent night's sleep

in months.

Whoa!

Oh! Hey, Jules, are you awake?

Oh, I didn't even
hear her cry.

Oh, no, no, Ruby's fine.

-Oh, good.
-You were up last.

Did you shut the back door?

Um, yeah, I think so.

But it was wide open.

No. I'm pretty
sure I locked it.

Mind you, I'm so tired I put
the iron in the fridge

so what would I know?

I just get the feeling
that someone was in the house.

Uh, no, darling, we just need
some more sleep.

We both do.

Yeah, yeah,
you're probably right.

Mmm-hmm.

-[baby crying]
-Oh, can you...

-You're up.
-Not anymore.

Oh, that's...

Lucky for you
she's due for a feed.

Yeah. I thought so.

Call me a caveman
but for dads,

the price of parenthood
is constant vigilance.

Why won't you sleep, bubba?

For moms,
constant nurturing.

I could always bore you
with another tired old story.

Yes. We've been
spending a lot

of time together lately,
haven't we?

Inside these four same walls.

That's the girl, good girl.

Oh, come on.
There we go.

Let's... Now, let's play the,

"How long
can I sleep for?" game.

That's a good girl.

That's it.
Good girl.

Shh.

Sorry.

Ooh! Oh! Oh!
Oh. Ow.

[Dave] Trust me.

The roar of a lion
and I would've been awake

in a flash.

[Julie] There you go, sweetie.

[Rachel] See you.

[Julie] Hey,
where are you off to?

[Rachel] Mmm,
I'm going around to Jake

and Alex's to help them
move in.

Oh, have they found
a place already?

Mmm-hmm, yeah, first place
they looked at.

Well, maybe, um, Ruby and I
could pop around later?

Oh, no, give them some time
to settle in.

I'll see you later.
I've got to run.

Bye. What are you up to?

[Ben] I'm trying to avoid
going shopping

but since dad's health kick,
it's pretty slim pickings.

-[Julie chuckles]
-Hello gorgeous.

Hello. Hello.

Yeah. There's no yummy food,
is there?

[Ted] Off to
self-defense class.

-Bye all.
-[Julie] Bye, Dad.

[Ben] Bye, Granddad.

Who's your favorite
brother then?

Me. Ben. Me.

[Julie] Well,
she needs changing.

Favorite brother could help
with that if he'd like.

-Ah, you know I'd love to--
-Mmm-hmm.

--but I've got lots
of other things to do

-like non poo things.
-Right.

[Dave] Hey, Ben.
Were you in here last night

-looking for food?
-No, why?

Oh, I just thought...

-Don't worry about it.
-Okay.

Bye Ruby. Bye.

You're not still worried
about that, are you?

Ah, it's nothing.

-You ready?
-[Dave] Yeah, let's do it.

-Okay.
-Bye-bye, precious.

You be good for Mommy, okay?

Don't you want a banana
or something?

[Dave] No, I already ate.

Oh, okay.

You keep doing exactly that.

[Nathan] Hey, Dad,
100 percent commitment today.

-[Julie] Oh, hey.
-[Dave] Yeah, okay.

How about I, um,
put Ruby in the pram

-and we go for a stroll?
-No, I don't think so, Jules.

This isn't a stroll.
This is serious business.

-Yeah.
-Oh, right.

Well, I wouldn't want us
to slow you down.

Mmm-hmm, yep.

Oh, look, it's Georgia.

-[Dave] Who's that?
-It's Carbo's stalker.

-Stalker?
-Yeah.

Hi, Georgia.

Everything all right?

Oh, she is so weird.

-Nathan.
-Come on, Dad.

-Let's go.
-Yep.

Have fun.

[upbeat music playing]

Come on, old man.

You okay?

Are you kidding?

I've still got some
left in the tank.

Anyway, we're not
here to chat.

Just give me ten more.

Why don't you get down here?

Yeah, I will,
as soon as you're finished.

Where are you going?

After the pushups,

I want some crunches.

Oh.

You just want a coffee.

Decaf, skim milk.

No sugar.

It hardly seems worth it.

If you want cream,
I can't be your enabler.

[chuckles]

-How are you feeling?
-[Chel] Impatient.

I just wanna get this
transplant thing behind us.

Yeah, so does Nathan.

I had a dream about Tom.

Isn't that weird?

You know you could always
change your mind

-about seeing him.
-In prison?

Oh, I don't think so.

Fair enough.

You said you have
a photograph of him?

Yeah, it's more of
an old clipping really.

I found it on the internet.

Right.

If you wanna, you can always
come around later

and I'll show it to you.

Might do.

-Thanks.
-No, just one.

Thanks.

[Chel] Watch your teeth.

-[laughs]
-Ow.

-[Rachel] Hey.
-[Jake] Hello you.

Hey.

[Jake] Are they for me
or for Alex?

They are for both of you.
It's a house warming present.

[Jake] Wow, flowers
for a manly bachelor pad.

The bottle store
was closed, all right?

-Place looks good.
-Yeah, well,

wait until you have
a look inside.

Come on.

-Hey, Rachel!
-[Rachel] Hey.

-[laughs]
-Ah I'll take those.

-There you go.
-Welcome.

[Rachel] Wow. Oh,

last tenants left the place

in a bit of a mess,
didn't they?

[Jake] Oh, we told the owners
not to worry about

cleaning up so we can move in
straight away.

-Right.
-Ta-da!

Ah, so, you've had time

to shop for the essentials.

And it came with
a free coffee table.

[laughing]

He's so pumped about this.

Oh, so he should be.

The place is...
It's got loads of character.

Yes. Well,
I'm glad you think so

because you're gonna be
spending lots of time here.

You've still got a lot to do.

Ah, no, it won't take long.

Do you wanna come
and help with the kitchen?

Oh, I can't.
Um, Libby rang.

She wants to have a coffee.

Ah, well,

what are you doing tonight?

-No plans.
-Well, Alex and I

are having
a housewarming dinner

and we'd like you to be
the guest of honor.

Ah, oh, um, that...

Are you sure you're gonna be
ready for visitors?

-Yeah, absolutely.
-Okay.

Well, I'd love to.

Good. Say hello to Libby.

-Oh!
-Okay.

Okay.

-Love you, baby.
-[Rachel] Love you. Bye.

Bye.

-Oh! Georgia.
-Sorry.

I knocked on
the front door first.

Uh, well, I didn't hear you.

What are you doing here?

I just thought
you should know some guy's

been watching your house.

What?

I was gonna tell you
before but...

What? No, hang on,
what are you talking about?

-What guy?
-I don't know who he is.

I was just riding past
on my bike yesterday

and I saw him out the front.

Well, what did he look like?

Pretty dodgy.

And you're sure
he was watching our place?

Yes.

Why were you riding past?

On the way to the shops.

What do you think I was doing?

Uh, nothing.

I've gotta go.

Georgia, thanks.

Yeah, the back door was open.

No, no, I can't be sure.

-Who is it?
-[gasps] Oh!

Uh, sorry.

Sorry?

Uh, no, okay.

All right.
Thanks for your help.

What's going on?

-I called the police.
-Why? What's happened?

Well, Georgia came
around again.

She said there was a man
watching the house yesterday.

Who was it?

Well, I don't know.

How well do you know
this Georgia girl?

Well, not very.

She's stalking Carbo,
isn't she?

Well, yeah, she had a crush.

I mean, she was sending
him emails.

She's probably the reason
the back door was open.

No. No. No.
Georgia might be a loner

but that's not a reason
why she'd break in.

Well, she was stalking Carbo.
She can't be the full quid.

[Julie] Now you're
just being cruel.

No, vigilant.

The girl's obviously
an attention seeker

and you're giving it to her.

How was your run?

Good. Yeah. No.
It was a good workout.

Yeah, I popped in to see Mom.

She's going to
come around later

and see the photo of Tom.

Oh, what? Do you think
she's changing her mind

-about meeting him?
-Yeah, maybe.

Now, if Georgia didn't
break in, who did?

[upbeat music playing]

Thank you, Greg.

Hey, Tyler.

Heard your parole
had come through.

-Have a coldy for me.
-Thanks, mate.

Curly, a new girlfriend?

How much are you paying her?

-Piss off, Tom.
-Get stuffed.

-How's the throat?
-Still sore.

Come on, Martin. Don't sulk.

Coby.

So, what do you they want?

-Okay. The name's Rafter.
-Yeah, yeah, you told me.

The young one's Nathan,
the older guy's Dave.

I still haven't worked
out how they're related

but they live next door
to each other.

I'm racking my brain.

For the life of me I
cannot remember

anyone named Rafter.

Um, Dave's a sparky.

He's got a wife,
a younger kid,

older daughter, I think.

She's hot looking.

And you're sure they're
the same blokes

who were sniffing around
at home?

And came by the servo.

[sighs]

Still not much to go on, mate.

I know. So, last night,

I thought I'd take a look
inside their joint.

-Jesus, mate.
-The door wasn't locked.

What if they'd sprung you?
You idiot.

Trust me. These guys
don't look dangerous.

Yeah, but they're hanging
around asking questions.

Rafter.

Did you get any pictures?

Not yet.

Well, what are you
waiting for?

Okay.

Coby, Coby.

You be careful.

Whoever these Rafters are,

they're probably not people
we want in our life.

[Chel] That's Tom.

Yeah, it was taken
from the local paper.

Too long.

About 20 years ago.

[Chel] He's not 17 anymore.

I wonder if he'd even
remember me.

Of course he would.

We only saw each other
a few times.

End up in jail, though.

What was it?

Car theft?

No car rebirthing.

They take stolen cars,

give them new papers
and sell them.

But I keep thinking if
I'd known he was alive,

things could've
been different.

We could've been together.

Mmm-hmm.

Tea?

Yeah, thanks, yep.

-Ahhh!
-Yeah!

[Rachel] Hello.

-Hey, Rachel!
-Hey! There she is.

-Here I am.
-The guest of honor.

Here grab yourself some pizza.

There is meat on that one,

extra meat on that one.

-Yum.
-Do you want a beer?

Oh, no thanks.
I'll just stick with wine.

-Ah.
-All right, all right,

-coming right up.
-Yeah.

-Here you go, baby.
-Ah, thank you.

-Well, cheers to you guys.
-Cheers.

Cheers to your new place.

-Cheers for you.
-[Jake] Cheers.

Did you manage
to get anything done

while I was gone or...

Yeah. We set up the telly.

Yeah, and I got Kevin.

Who's Kevin?

Uh.

Oh, my God! What is that?

Don't scare him.

He is an axolotl.

I'm sorry that I put him
in your vase

but I'll get him a home soon.

-[Jake] Mmm-hmm.
-[Alex] Here, give him a worm.

-Oh, God! Oh.
-[Jake] Oh, okay.

All right. Relax, baby, relax.

Do you want to sit
on the couch?

-Oh, oh.
-Oh, no.

I don't... I don't
wanna sit on that couch.

-[Jake] What?
-Look at the stains on it.

You don't know
what bodily fluids

might be all over it.

-No. Um, I'll...
-[Jake] All right.

I'll just sit here,
that's fine.

So great. Good.

What's that smell?

Oh, is that the couch
or is that...

-is that Kevin?
-No, Rachel.

That is the smell of freedom.

[laughs]

-Here's to freedom.
-Go freedom.

[laughs]

What are we going to have
for dinner?

[Dave] Well, it took patience,
persistence,

and timing that we now have
one sleeping baby.

Unless we had exactly
what we had last night

and the night before that.
Is it just me

or is every day
starting to sound the same?

Let's just order takeaway.

Are you saying
you're sick of my cooking?

-No, of course not.
-Why not?

I'm sick of my cooking.

Well, maybe it's about time

we got you out of the house.

I get out of the house.

I hung out the washing today.

Made it to the corner shop
for nappies.

No, I mean out on a date,

-you and me.
-Oh.

Yeah, you can talk about
Dave's cholesterol levels.

Very funny, Ted.

Um, could you look
after Ruby tonight?

Oh, I'd love to.

Actually, that might be
just what I need.

Yeah, exactly,
what we both need.

Mmm-hmm, yeah.

Okay. I might just
check on Ruby.

Um...

Never going to happen.

Mmm-hmm, no.

Let's watch the end
of that game, eh?

[TV playing indistinctly]

I still prefer rugby.

Ah, bull.
Did you see the last mark?

-It was awesome.
-[chuckles politely]

I think I've got permanent
crate marks on my bum.

-Rachel, language.
-Stop being such a wuss

and come and sit here, baby.
You'll get used to the smell.

No, I'll have to take
your word for that.

[burps]

You guys would have never
gotten away with all this

-at your mom's place.
-I mean can you imagine.

Okay, well, oh, that's enough

bachelor antics for the night.

Come on, let's go to bed.

Oh, oh, um, do you mind

if I stay up just for a couple
more minutes, baby?

The analysis
is about to begin.

-Analysis?
-Yeah,

well, those guys,
they're really insightful.

Okay.

Fine. I'll see you soon.

-Goodnight, Alex.
-[Alex] Goodnight, Rachel.

[TV playing indistinctly]

Georgia, isn't it?

Sorry, I thought...

What are you doing here?

Um, I need to speak
to Mrs. Rafter.

-Why?
-I need to tell her something.

-It's important.
-Yeah, well,

it's Saturday morning
and she's sleeping in,

so you'll have to
come back later on.

-Georgia?
-Yeah, she's been

watching our house.

I thought you were
going for a run.

Yeah, I did.
I forgot my drink belt.

-I need to tell you something.
-And I need you to stop

-hanging around our house.
-Dave!

Haven't you got a home
to go to?

Dave! Georgia.

Georgia, please...

Why...

Why did, oh...

[Dave] Okay, so maybe
my protective instinct

went into overdrive
but Julie's nurturing instinct

was getting a bit
out of control too.

You were too hard on her.
That poor girl is obviously

-having trouble at home.
-You don't know that.

I don't need to be
a psychologist to work it out.

Jules, you barely know
the girl.

Keep your voice down.
You'll wake Ruby.

She's an attention seeking
and needy,

fixated on you
and possibly a thief.

Exactly! Did it occur to
you she might need our help?

Our help? Why?

Like I said, trouble at home!

Are you listening
to yourself?

-[baby crying]
-Oh, perfect! Perfect!

Just perfect.

Jake's house is toxic.

Can I borrow
the vacuum cleaner?

Yeah, you could.

If it was working.

And the worst thing is
that they're actually

reveling in their skankyness.

-Really?
-Mmm-hmm.

Like last night
I had to make up

Jake's bed for him.

-Oh, you didn't.
-Yeah.

I couldn't just lie there
on an unmade bed

on a flea ridden carpet.

Still. Never do boys'
dirty work for them

otherwise they'll come
to expect it of you.

Oh, how would you know?

You're the messiest one
in the house.

-These are stale.
-Yeah, it's your turn to shop.

I fetched food.

From next door doesn't count.

There's a big thing
called a supermarket.

[chuckles]

Fine.

See? Stand your ground.

Eventually, they do things
for themselves.

Ah.

What are you doing?

Uh, whoever knocks
the rubbish over

has to take the bin out.

[Carbo] Hey, Benno!
Check this out!

-Quick!
-Coming.

Ugh!

I'll clean this up
in a minute,

-then I'll go shopping.
-Oh, uh...

-Stand your ground.
-[sighs]

Oh, that is not good at all.

I just got an email
from Georgia

and there's a photo attached.

-I thought that was all over?
-Yeah, so did I.

Delete it immediately.

If there's anything sexual,
you're toast.

Yeah, but look,
the subject's weird.

Check it out.

"Show to Mrs. Rafter.
Important."

She's trying
to send porn to mom.

Oh, that's sick.

Well, maybe, she's trying to
trick you into opening it.

What you reckon
she's that smart?

Mmm-hmm.

[Carbo] Are you crazy?

Who's that?

It must be Georgia's
new obsession.

You reckon?

Oh, my God.

[both] What?

You guys aren't going
to believe this

but, uh, meet cousin, Coby.

Yep, that's definitely Coby.

And Georgia took this?

-Apparently.
-So she was right.

There was someone
watching the house.

Okay, I'm sorry.

How the hell does
he know where we live?

It must be through
your old license plates.

Yeah, why not
just knock on the door

-and introduce himself?
-Well, we skulked around

his place without telling him
who we were.

-Yeah.
-We better speak to him.

I think I might have
his number

laying around somewhere.
I'll have a look.

And I'll chase up
the number of that servo.

-Um, what can I do?
-[Dave] No, you've got

plenty to do.
Just, ah, we're onto it.

-Oh.
-[baby crying]

Hello.

[all chattering indistinctly]

Dave and Nathan Rafter.

-And Nathan's the young one?
-[Coby] Yep.

Jesus wept.

What's wrong?

The kid's a spitting image
of me at the same age.

It's a paternity suit,
that's what it is.

This Nathan Rafter is my son.

I'd be buggered
if I know who with.

Maybe, it was a chick
down in Wollongong.

Well, then, who's Dave Rafter?

I don't know.
I mean a stepdad

or uncle or something,
you tell me.

You're the one who's
been watching.

They seem pretty tight.

They go running together
every morning.

Well, this Nathan,
what's he like?

Ah, he's a bit of a wanker.

-Mmm-hmm.
-What about the mom, seen her?

I don't know.
Maybe the blonde woman

that lives with Dave.

-It seems like his wife.
-Blonde?

Yeah.

No, the one in the Gong
was a blood nut.

Ah.

I've got nothing.

I've got no idea.

Well, what do you want
to do about it?

You leave it to me.

You just leave it to me.

-Piss off.
-Yep.

Let me get this right,
this young fellow broke in?

Now did he take anything?

No, I don't think so.

All right, well,
shouldn't we be

-getting the police involved?
-I called them

but with nothing stolen,
there's not much they can do.

I finally found Coby's home
number but no one's answering.

I called the servo. He's quit.

He could be outside
right now for all we know.

-I doubt it.
-How can you be sure?

He's creeping me out.

He officially knows
where we live.

[phone ringing]

Nathan Rafter.

Do you think he knows
we're related?

No, I don't think so.

[Julie] But you said
you spoke to him.

-He seemed like a decent kid.
-[Dave] Yeah, he's...

You lot are being far
too forgiving about this.

You've got this young hooligan
roaming around

who's already broken in once.

That hooligan
is related to us.

Related to you, mate, not me.

[Nathan] Okay, well,
just let me speak

to the family
and I'll get back to you.

-Bye.
-Everything okay?

Well, that's the first call

I've ever had
from a prison officer.

Tom wants to meet me.

[Chel] Why Nathan?

Tom thinks he's his son.

And he didn't
set him straight?

Well, he didn't know
what to say.

But he said yes.

Well, he wants to meet him.

And now you're going too?

Well, there's no way
I'm letting Nathan

-go on his own.
-No.

And if Tom wants
to meet his son,

I guess I should be there.

It's funny I had that dream,
and now this.

Do you want to come too?

I'm curious, of course I am,

but it's Nathan
he asked to see.

Not me.

But your name
will come up in conversation.

Give him my regards.

Hey. Ruby asleep?

Like a baby.
Funny that.

-How's Chel?
-Yeah, she's a bit thrown.

But she'll be all right.

Well, Rachel's right.

It's all a bit creepy
the thought

of being observed
and talked about.

I think we'll be all right.

We'll just meet them and get
everything out in the open.

I wonder if he talks like you,
has your sense of humor.

He's a con man, Jules.

You were worried
about meeting Chel

and that turned out all right.

Yeah. This is a bit different.

Tom doesn't even know I exist.

I had to make up
so many stories

to explain
why he wasn't around.

He was a spy.
Stationed abroad.

Or a captain in the navy.

Not too late to bail,
you know.

-From what?
-My side of the family.

You can't choose your parents.

I'm not going anywhere.

That's good.

Um, oh, darling, here.

-You didn't have breakfast.
-Oh, thanks.

-Here he is.
-Good morning.

-Hey.
-How are you feeling?

-A little bit nervous.
-Ready for the strip search?

I hope you're wearing
clean undies.

[Ted] Oh, you guys have seen
too many movies.

[Nathan] Yeah, we should
probably get going.

-We've got a two-hour drive.
-Yep.

Hey, look,
I know he may look like you

but I'm still
your favorite granddad, right?

-Course. See you, Mom.
-Bye. Take care.

See you guys soon.

-Take care.
-Bye.

If you drop your wallet,
kick it all the way home.

-Oh.
-[Ted] What's she mean?

Rachel?

[Dave] The father in me
was happy

to be there for Nathan.

The son in me,
was nervous as hell.

Hey, there. Hey.

Oh, look at you.
You're like a seagull.

Oh, I'd hate to see
it go to waste.

Plus any excuse to see
my little sister.

-You are the best, beautiful.
-[Julie] Oi.

-What are you doing?
-You don't need this, do you?

Do I have a say in the matter?

Oh, I thought it would make
a good throw for Jake's place.

What's the new place like?

-It's a real eye opener.
-Oh.

I don't think
you're going to want to be

visiting it any time soon.

Well, I wouldn't say that.

Well, call me if you hear
from dad and bye cuteness.

Bye.

-Bye.
-I've got to go too.

If I don't get
to the supermarket,

-I'll be sleeping on the couch.
-Oh, hey,

I've got to do
some shopping. We could go...

Don't tell me. You've got
somewhere else to go as well.

Yeah, I'm going to have
a cup of tea with Chel.

She needs a bit
of distraction.

Um... Ah.

-You read my mind.
-[Julie] Yeah.

[Ted] Bye, bye, snookums.

Bye.

Right. Come on you.

-Oh, Georgia, hi.
-Hi.

Um, did you get the photo
I sent Carbo?

Yes, we did.

Hey, uh, I'm really sorry

we didn't listen
to you yesterday.

Your husband's full on.

Yeah, he's just feeling a bit
overprotective at the moment.

So do you know who he is,
the guy in the car?

Uh, well,
we're looking into it.

-[cell phone beeps]
-Right.

So, how are things
with you?

Fine.

And, uh,
everything's okay at home?

-Yeah. Why?
-Oh, no reason. It's just...

Just if you ever wanted
to talk about anything,

any problems or...

Why would you think
I've got problems?

Well, it's just that we've been
seeing quite a bit of you lately

and I thought maybe
you were avoiding home.

'Cause if there's
anything that...

[cell phone rings]

You're not my mom, okay?

-No--
-Hey. It's me.

Oh, my God, that's mad.

I can't believe you did that.

Okay. That went well.

-Hey.
-Hey.

You were right
about the carpet.

-I bombed it.
-Ah, good to know.

I almost killed Kevin
with the fumes.

Well, I thought
this would make

a good throw for your couch.

Nice one.

And, we've made a few changes
to the house

so come and have a look.

The place looks amazing.

Yeah, we're pretty
pleased with it.

Yeah, you still
haven't progressed

to a coffee table,
I see but--

Uh, no, but we've dressed it.
Got to love a tablecloth.

Not something
you hear every day.

-I'm very impressed.
-[chuckles]

Oh, now you're scaring me.

The couch
doesn't smell anymore.

Yeah.

There's this stuff
you can get,

kind of spray on thing
and it's magic, huh?

Oh, I'll say. You know what?

I'm already getting a much
better vibe about this place.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

I told you
we would sort it out.

[both sniffing]

-Good?
-Oh. Beautiful.

Oh, you stupid.

[groans] Oh!

-Damn!
-Hey.

Oh, hi, you're back.
How's Chel?

Oh, she's taken a bit
of a knack.

You need a hand?

-The stupid thing won't open.
-[Ted] Here.

You can't have
beetroot juice everywhere.

It'll look like a massacre.

Mmm-hmm, thanks, Dad.

Now, what's really wrong?

I went over to Georgia's
house to apologize

and I made
a complete idiot of myself.

I see.

And basically she told me
to get a life.

Cabin fever, Jules.
You need to get out more.

-Mmm-hmm.
-Now, where did I put it?

Put what?

Oh, I cut it out for you
from the local rag.

What, you want me
to get a job?

-No.
-Find God?

-No.
-Join a swinger's club? Hmm.

Just look at what I circled.

-Mothers group?
-Mmm-hmm.

It gives you a good excuse
to get out of the house.

Mmm.

-Mmm-hmm?
-Thanks, Dad.

[Dave] They reckon
that there's only

two responses to danger,
fight or flight.

Like my caveman ancestor,

I sat there resisting
the urge to flee.

I mean, after all
it's not every day

that you get to meet
your missing link.

Good day, Tom.
Dave Rafter.

Yeah, good day,
Dave. Hey.

-Nathan.
-Tom.

Geez, I'm a bit stuck
for words.

It's not every day
you meet your own son.

Oh, no, that's not right.

Yeah, no, there's been a bit
of a misunderstanding.

Um, Nathan's your grandson.

I'm your son.

Ooh.

Hold your ground.

-What?
-Nothing.

-A radical thought.
-Mmm-hmm.

How do you guys feel
about eating something

other than takeaway tonight?

Uh, well, it's already sorted.

Have a look in the fridge
above the worms.

Again, not something
you hear every day but...

You guys made lasagna?

Oh, yeah,
baked it this morning.

-Really?
-[Jake] Yep.

-What's in the sauce?
-Sorry?

Well, how do you make
bechamel sauce?

Cheese.

-Bechamel.
-Your mom's been here.

-Okay.
-[Rachel] Yep.

She cleaned the place up
for you guys, right?

Well, maybe
she helped a little.

I cannot believe
I fell for that.

-Neither can we.
-[chuckles]

I cannot believe you would let
your mom clean up after you.

No, we didn't ask her
to or anything.

She just started doing it.

She just loves putting on
those rubber gloves.

The whole idea of you two
moving out together

was to stand
on your own two feet

-and let Grace do the same.
-All right, all right.

Look we won't let her
clean up again.

Yeah.
The next time she comes over,

we'll tie her to the chair.

You better not think
I'm going to be your mother

when we get a place together.

[Jake] Rachel, look,
when we get our own place

we'll have our own rules,
okay?

But this is mine
and Alex's place.

-It's not yours.
-And Kevin's.

Well, I hope the three of you
will be very happy together.

-Rachel--
-No, far be it for me

to tell you boys
how to live your lives

but if you'd like me
around here,

you might wanna think
about setting

-a few basic standards, Jake.
-Rachel, chill.

Yeah, and not count
on your mother

to do it all for you!

[sighs]

[door slams shut]

She serious?

I reckon.

[Tom] Well, how long
have you known about me?

Six months.

That's six more months
than me then.

Yeah. I wasn't sure if I...
Well, you know, I--

What, Dave?

That you wanted to meet
your old man?

Yeah.

Well, I can't say I blame you.

It's not exactly
Buckingham Palace, is it?

No, there's no big fat
lotto win coming at you

from this side of the fence.

Coby tells me you're a sparky.

You've got your own business.

[Dave] Yeah, that's right.

Mmm.

What about you, Nathan?

What do you do for a crust?

Uh, well, at the moment,
I'm just working for dad

but I used to be
in real estate

-and then the music business.
-Oh.

Uh, but, that didn't
really work out, did it.

That's a shame.
What do you play?

Oh, no, I don't play anything
but dad plays guitar.

You don't say. Guitar?

Yeah, it's been awhile, though.

Oh, yeah, me too,
but I tell you

when I was young,
my guitar was my best mate.

Kept me company
on many a night

and never hogged
the bed either.

I tell you what,
next time you come in,

I'll show you a picture of me
when I was about your age.

You will not believe
your eyes.

-Wow.
-[Dave] Okay.

All right,
come on then, come on.

Put me out of my misery.

What do you mean?

Your mom.

This chick I was supposed
to have gone with.

-Gone with?
-Knocked up.

Oh, sorry. No, it was
a poor choice of words.

But you've got to understand,
mate, this was years ago.

And when you're
as old as me,

I can tell you,
your ship's docked

in a fair few ports.

Not that I'm saying
I'm a root rat

or anything like that.

No, her name's Rachel Warner.

Rachel.

Rachel.

-Yeah.
-Uh, she prefers Chel.

Chel.

You met her at a dance
when you were 17.

Oh, right, in WA.

Mmm-hmm.

No, it was in New South Wales.

-Cobar.
-Yeah.

Oh, of course.
I remember her.

Chel. A beautiful girl.

Chel.

Yeah.

-I think we should go.
-What?

Oh, listen, Dave,
wait, wait.

Listen, son, no,
I don't remember your mother

but it's got to be
over 40 years ago

and, you know, what it's like
when you're young.

You can barely keep it
in your pants.

-It's got a mind of its own.
-Let's go, mate.

What did you bloody expect?
I never knew you existed.

No one told me.

-Bye, Tom.
-Yes, see you, mate.

Hey, son.

If you change your mind,
you know where I am.

I'm not going anywhere.

I know it was weird, Dad,
but he was okay.

Are you kidding?

You heard the way
he talked about Chel.

Not to mention women
in general.

He was nervous, Dad.

And it was a long time ago.

[Dave] Yeah, that's no excuse.

So what are you gonna
tell Chel?

I've got no idea.

[doorbell rings]

Can someone get that?

[doorbell rings]

Hello?

Can anyone hear me? Hello.

[knocking on door]

Coming.

Hey.

A toilet brush.

A brand new toilet brush.

-Congratulations.
-Uh, wipes, cloths, sponges.

Am I supposed to be impressed?

-Yep.
-I've just run a bath.

A nice relaxing bath
so if you'll excuse me--

[Jake] Okay, Rachel.

I get the message.
The point is taken.

We both do
our own cleaning from now on.

Hey, hey, no,
you said it yourself,

it's yours and Alex's house
and if you guys

want to live in squalor,
that is so fine by me.

Yeah, but I want a place
that you want to come to.

And stay at with me.

What's that supposed to mean?

No, not till
you prove yourself.

-What's this?
-That's cleaning products.

That's not actual cleaning,
or actual lasagna baking.

I can cook.

-Really.
-[scoffs]

I will cook you
dinner tonight.

Anything you like.

Oh, like I said,
I'm having a nice long bath

-and a very early night.
-Yeah, Rachel...

Of course, I never said

you couldn't stay here
if you wanted to.

My wine, please?

You're evil.

[sighs]

[dramatic music playing]

[Dave] Hey.

[Chel] Come in.

-How'd you go?
-Fine, yeah.

[Chel] Fine?
Dave, this is not the time

-to be blokey and stoic.
-Yeah.

Sit.

Yeah, we weren't
there that long.

Didn't get much
of an impression really.

Well, you must've got
some idea about him.

-Did he turn on the charm?
-Absolutely.

Oh, I can... I can see
why you fell for him.

So, what else did he say?

Well, his memory's
not so great, actually.

What does that mean?

Well, he just couldn't
remember all the details,

that's all.

He doesn't remember me at all,
does he?

I set so much store by him,

and he doesn't even
remember me.

And why am I not surprised?

Mom?

We don't need him
in our lives, Mom.

Poor Chel.
She must be devastated.

Maybe it'll give her a chance
to move on.

I'm sorry Tom was such
a disappointment.

I knew it didn't feel right.

I tried not
to expect anything but...

-Well, the guy is blood.
-Mmm.

He spent the whole time
talking about all the women

that he's slept with and had
the nerve to call me son.

Oh, I'm sorry.
I was just imagining a grayer,

chunkier version of you.

-Are you saying I'm chunky?
-[chuckles] No.

Oh, not at all.

All that running's
starting to pay off.

[Ruby crying]

-Oh.
-It's all right. I'll get it.

I was happy to pay
the price of parenthood,

unlike my own father who got
away without paying a penny.

Well, it's his loss.

Because the price
of parenthood

is worth every cent.
