[theme music playing]

[Julie] It's surprising how differently two people

can see the same thing.

-Where's the cow, darling? -[cooing]

Yes, it is.

It starts at a very young age.

Turn the page.

Where's the monkey?

It's all a matter of perception.

It's a lion dressed as a monkey.

[music playing]

Dad was wrestling with his own perception,

his perception of himself.

How old is too old to have a crush?

[singer] ♪ She said She got a plan ♪

♪ But she don't know... ♪

[Julie] At our place, opinions were also divided.

Jake's still not answering.

Neither's Coby. That's 24 hours since we spoke.

[Julie] Well darling, he'll be here soon for work.

-You can talk to him then. -No, actually,

we're meeting at the worksite this morning.

That is ridiculous. Why is he avoiding me?

Well, maybe he's just trying to get things straight

-in his head. -He knows what happened.

What's there to get straight?

None of us think he did it.

Oh, I just don't get why he didn't tell me.

And what kind of girl lays charges like that

in the first place? I mean, attempted rape.

-It's outrageous. -I don't know, sweetheart.

-Am I just being naive? -No, you're not.

I just want to talk to him.

[Dave] He'll call you when he's ready.

Yeah, well, that is a real boy way of dealing with things.

Rachel, just take things one step at a time.

It's hard enough for Jake as it is.

Just go to work, get on with things--

I can't, Dad. He's still got my laptop.

[dramatic music playing]

[door closes]

[knocking on door]

You okay?

[Rachel] Uh, do you want your room back?

No, no, no, I'm all right. There's no rush.

It's your room anyway.

Is, um... Is there anything that I can do?

No, thanks.

Ah, why'd this all have to happen, eh?

You know, I really don't think that he did.

Rape, assault. There's no way that Jake

would do any of that stuff that girl has said.

I know that. I just mean everything,

Jake, the whole mess with Coby

-and his stupid artwork. -Artwork?

Um, look, I might need to stay here tonight as well.

-Yeah, yeah -[Rachel] Is that okay?

No, I figured that. Stay here as long as you like.

You've actually helped me decide something.

What?

I'm going to move back in with Carbo.

-[Rachel] Really? -Yeah.

Well, every cloud, eh?

[dramatic music playing]

[door opens and closes]

I don't think this is just going to blow over.

Not when it's her word against his.

He does have a scratch on his face.

It fits with his story.

Yeah, I know that. I just...

You know the old saying, "Where there's smoke,

there's fire."

I mean, why did he lie to Rachel?

-Jules-- -Look I...

All right, I know Jake didn't do it.

I... I don't know. I just...

I can't help thinking that...

We thought we knew Daniel too?

-Yeah. -[knocking on door]

Me and the sprog are going for our walk.

Ah, okay. Oh, have you got her sunhat and her dummy?

-And her water bottle. -[Julie] Great.

See you soon.

-Thanks, Ted. -Bye, Dad.

[door closes]

Look, Jake didn't do this. I know him.

It's what other people are going to think

that worries me.

[Julie] Dave was right. Perception, unfortunately,

is everything.

Oh, Rachel, we've got to go. We're running late.

Yeah. I just need my laptop.

Is he okay?

Well, he's not doing cartwheels down the street.

Why couldn't you guys have just told me the truth?

Well, there was nothing to tell.

Yeah, well there is now.

Yeah, well, it's not my story.

What is this? Some kind of boys club?

You're all sticking together?

-Don't be stupid. -Coby.

Look...

the girl was cracking onto Jake.

-Go on. -Well, he didn't want

a bar of it. He went to bed.

I crashed a bit later. When I woke up,

Jake was trying to help her out of Camel's room.

That's it.

That's it?

What, and you couldn't have told me any of that

the other night while Jake was being questioned?

When I was sick with worry?

Like I said, it's not my story to tell.

Yeah, well, he isn't exactly communicating with me, Coby.

Rachel.

[Rachel] I just need my laptop.

So I'm guessing you got my calls.

Were you ever going to call me back?

I was trying to sleep.

For 24 hours?

Did you sleep?

Not really.

Me neither.

Look...

I know this is difficult,

but I'm not your enemy.

I really want to help.

So now, you believe I'm innocent?

What do you mean?

I saw it, in your eye, that second of doubt.

-No. -I saw it, Rachel.

No, Jake. I had just found out

that you've been accused of attempted rape.

How did you expect me to react to that?

I want you to trust me.

And believe me.

And support me.

Yeah, but how can I support you

when you won't answer my calls?

Well, instinctively trust me.

I do, babe.

I was shocked, okay?

I didn't know anything about any of this.

It was... It came out of nowhere.

I love you. I love you.

Are you sure about that?

Yes. Yes.

And we're going to get through this, okay?

Okay?

Hey, Dad was right, we're going to be fine.

Did you tell your parents?

-Yeah, of course I did. -Oh, why? Why?

Well, because they care about us.

-Your dad's my boss! -Yes,

and I'm your girlfriend!

Why are you acting like this?

-Well, like what? -You're embarrassed!

You're ashamed.

If you didn't do anything wrong, babe,

-you don't have-- -If? If? Brilliant.

You just got through saying you believe me.

Oh, that's not what I meant. You know--

I don't want people knowing about this!

It's my mess, you know. I'll sort it.

Please don't shut me out.

I can handle this.

I'm not sure I can.

Then let's handle it together.

[Mai] It's really nice to see you all.

How about we take some positions over here

and we'll get ready to start.

Can I help you?

Oh, um...

[speaking Cantonese]

Ted.

Sorry?

-Hello, I'm Ted. -Oh. Mai.

That was Cantonese, right?

Well, bad Cantonese apparently.

[chuckles]

Listen, if you'd like to join us...

-Ah. -Come on.

Look, the baby's asleep, we're just here.

We don't bite.

Why not.

♪ These tears of joy They evaporate ♪

I thought we were meeting at the job?

Yeah, Rachel just came over to grab her laptop.

Oh, right.

Look Dave, I don't know what you think I've done

-and I don't know what-- -Jake, none of us think

you're guilty.

[sighs]

Cheers, mate.

Yeah, and about the charges, I don't know when I have

to be in court or what's going to happen.

We'll cross that bridge when we come to it

just like Coby's sentence.

Geez, you picked the right bunch of workers

-with us two. -Yeah.

Um, could you grab the LED down lights

and chuck them in the van, please?

[Jake] All right. I'll grab the cables.

Hey, Jake. Just one more thing.

I know you need time to deal with this by yourself

-but, uh-- -Shutting people out

isn't going to help my case. Yep, I get that.

All right.

[knocking on door]

-Hey! -[Ben] Hey!

-You're back, mate! -I am.

-Guys, he's moving back in! -Oh, it's about time.

-Yeah, it feels right. -[Retta] Oh, welcome back.

Yeah, just like the good old days.

Well, not exactly like the good old--

-I know what you mean. -[Nathan] Here's to the good

-new days, right? -[Ben] Yeah, exactly.

How are you doing? Hey, um, do you want a hand

grabbing stuff from next door?

No, but I'd kill for a coffee.

-Okay. -[Ben] Come on.

Hey, why don't we forget about the movies tonight?

Oh, but it's our date night.

You know, keep the magic alive.

Yeah, but Ben's in a good space,

he's moving back in. Why not have some fun?

-Ooh, you're evil. -What?

Hey, Benno! Celebration night!

Beers and pizza, whatever you want!

-Sounds good! -Oi!

Genius.

Carbo, what?

[Medusa] Rachel, Paul's looking for you.

What? No, already? I...

Okay, just give me five minutes.

Rachel.

Any word from our mystery artist?

Uh, yeah. Three, actually.

-It's no, no, and no. -Is it money?

There's a generous spend here.

No, and believe me, anything I could've said

to possibly change his mind, I have said.

The entire product range and campaign

are being built around it. Money's being spent.

-I know. -If we don't sign the artist,

we expose the client,

-we lose the client. -I know.

What do you want me to do?

Sign him.

[Julie] A year ago, Ben would never have been

able to imagine a world without Mel.

-Okay, all done. -Thanks, Mom.

-Oh, don't be a stranger. -As if.

[Julie] Now finally, he was able to look to his future.

[singer] ♪ I'll taste The devil's tears ♪

♪ Drink from his soul ♪

♪ But I'll never Give up you ♪

♪ Oh ♪

Are you sure you're not going

a little bit overboard? What is that?

-Is that a whoopee cushion? -Shh.

Come on, what, are you five years old?

Just because you don't know how to have fun. Hurry.

He's going to be down in a sec. Quick.

-[Retta] Nathan? -Yes?

[Retta] Can you give me a hand?

-Wow, you made a banner. -[Retta] Yeah.

Yeah, up here. Yeah, I made a banner.

You did and went a little bit overboard.

-[Ben] What's all this? -[Nathan] Hey.

-I made a banner. -She really did.

Thanks, Retta. I feel very welcome.

[Carbo] Mate, good to see you.

-Take a seat. -In a second.

-I might just grab a beer. -Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Take a load off. Sit down.

-Sit down. -All right.

[Retta] Oh, oh, oh. No, no, whoa, not here, there.

Yeah, over here. That's your chair.

Oh, I know, but you're the guest of honor.

All right.

[fart effect sounds]

[all laughing]

Game on.

[knocking on door]

Busy!

-[Rachel] Look, Coby-- -What part of private

don't you understand?

Look, I talked to my boss today

and basically he's not taking no for an answer.

That's not my problem.

I know that, I know. Okay?

It's mine. I've accepted that.

But, you're looking at this all wrong.

I mean, can't... Can't you try to reframe it?

-What? -Okay, painting,

it was your private thing.

-Yeah, you got that right! -But who paints

-for just themselves? -Me.

But these guys, right Coby, they want to pay you

big bucks. They're not offering

to buy your soul. They're offering to buy

the rights to one piece of your artwork.

One piece.

You should never have gone snooping.

I know. Look, I know that and I have apologized.

I never wanted any of this.

I know.

You know, and I don't want it now.

[dramatic music playing]

Ooh.

You're the best, you know that?

-I am? -Yep.

I mean the party, making Benno feel at home.

Ben! Enough!

-I mean, look at him. -[Nathan] Ben...

He's having an awesome time.

Oi, Carbo, go and grab some chips.

-[Nathan] Ah! -You've got legs, mate.

No, I'm defending

-my world title. -Ow!

They're in the tall cupboard.

-Ow! -Mate, I'm with my fiancee.

-[Nathan] Ow! Ben! -What happened to me

being the guest of honor? You go and get them.

-No, you get them. -No, you go and get them.

-No, you get them! -[Ben] You get them!

-You get them! -I'll get them.

No, no, no, let... Let Carbo get them.

-No, no, no, no, no. -[Ben] No, Retta! No, wait!

Ah.

Sorry, that was meant for Carbo.

Retta, do you want a towel?

Chip? [laughs]

[all laughing]

[Julie] The big day had come.

Ruby's first taste of childcare,

but it all seemed so easy in theory.

[chattering indistinctly]

-[woman] Hi. -Hey.

Oh, Hamish.

-Julie. Julie, hi. -Hi.

-Long time no see. -Yeah.

Hello, gorgeous. She's grown big.

Yeah.

[Hamish] Are you enrolling Ruby here?

Um, yeah, I was thinking of it.

Well, if it counts for anything,

Jack's been here a couple of months now.

-He loves it. -Oh, great. How is Jack?

-Also big. -[Julie] Yeah.

-Also gorgeous. -Oh, good.

[Hamish] You should see him.

Okay. Well I'll, um... I better get inside.

-Yeah. -I don't want to make

-a bad impression. -Sure. Sorry.

Um, listen, they're going to suggest you leave Ruby here

for an hour, see if she settles in okay.

-Leave her? -They do it

with all the new inmates. To be honest,

I think it's more for the parents' benefit.

Maybe, uh, we could grab coffee?

-Um-- -Just coffee. Promise.

Okay.

[people chattering indistinctly]

Checking your watch every 30 seconds

won't make the hour go any faster.

Sorry. Am I that obvious?

Well, if it makes you feel any better,

Ruby's probably up to her armpits in fingerpaint

-as we speak. -Ah, well, there's a load

of laundry to look forward to.

Mmm.

How long did you say Jack's been going?

Four months, ever since Claire and I split up.

You split up? I'm sorry.

The writing was on the wall for a long time.

-You probably remember. -Yeah.

As a matter of fact she's going for full custody.

-What? -Yeah.

The hearing's actually tomorrow.

But how?

I mean, you're the one that's at home with him.

Oh, I had to go back to work.

Claire's promising to cut down her hours, work part time.

It's not going to happen, of course.

-She won't win. -She's the one with the cash

and the hot shot lawyer.

One judge who thinks kids should be with their mothers

and I could be out in the cold.

Well, it's not over yet. I'm putting up a fight.

I'll still see him every day.

I always take my lunch break with him.

You haven't checked your watch in almost a minute.

Oh. [laughs] Sorry.

-What are you doing? -Nothing.

I just wanted something to drink.

Yeah, right.

Well, why should you boys have all the fun?

-Ooh, you are evil. -[shaking bottle]

Hey, Benno. So what's the plan for later?

You know, pub crawl? Laser skirmish? Paintball?

-Drink? -No, that was yesterday.

-No more partying for me. -Ooh, soft.

Today I'm getting on with my life,

-starting with a new job. -Oh, you look really thirsty.

Right. This looks all right

for the Boat Club, doesn't it?

Got to try and talk to the new manager.

[Carbo] Yeah, yeah, you look great.

-[Ben] Yeah. -Yeah, I might just, um...

You shook the bottle, didn't you?

No, no.

-Yeah, you did. Wish me luck. -Good luck.

[Carbo] Luck? Luck with what?

-Job interview. See you. -Ah. Good luck.

[Carbo] A really good try, babe.

Yeah.

Clearly, I'm out of the loop. What try?

Oh, nothing.

-Nathan, no! [screams] -Oh! Ahhh!

-[Carbo] Yeah! Ooh. -[laughing]

This was Ben's work, wasn't it?

-Yeah, definitely Ben. -Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm.

It's a good thing I made a pre-emptive strike.

Itching powder in his undies drawer.

-[Carbo] Oh. -Ooh.

-Ah, Mrs. Mackey? -Yes?

Hi. My name's Ben. Ben Rafter.

Hello. And actually it's Ms.

-I'm sorry? -Ms. not Mrs.

It rhymes with biz, not scissors.

Lipstick.

Can I help you?

Uh, I don't know. I hope so.

I used to manage the bar here.

Oh, in the days of Derek.

Derek who's no longer here.

I was hoping there might be some work for me.

[playful music playing]

Are you all right?

Yeah. Yeah I'm fine.

If, uh, now's not a good time--

No, no, I have time.

I have six minutes.

That's great.

So, you managed the bar until five months ago?

Yes, but I've worked here since high school.

Well, obviously there will be a few changes

around here.

Yeah, but I, uh, know the... The layout

and I know the customers.

Ah, the customer base is widening.

At least that's the plan.

So, I'm looking for staff who are open to change,

ready to implement new ideas and initiatives.

And more than anything, I'm looking for a team player.

[clinks]

-I like people. -Working with them

-as well as serving them? -Yeah.

Could I ask why you left?

Oh, it was personal reasons.

A problem with the previous manager?

No, no, no. Nothing to do with Derek.

-He was a great boss. -And no problem working

-with a boss who's a woman? -No. Man, woman, dog.

I don't know why I said that. It was just--

-A figure of speech? -[Ben] Yeah.

-Any pets at all? -No.

Right then. I think that's enough.

-[Ben] Great. -Lovely to meet you, Ben.

-Good to meet you too. -I'll be in touch.

Great.

You bastard! She'll never give me a job now!

Oh, well, you should've told me

you were going for an interview.

-[Ben] I did tell you! -Yes, but technically,

that was after I put the itching powder

in your undies drawer.

She thought I had fleas or lice.

She wouldn't even shake my hand!

No, I'm sorry, mate. You have to admit,

I got you good.

Oh. Oh! Ah! Ah! Oh!

-Ahhh! Make it stop! -[Ben laughs]

[playful music playing]

I'm not touching any cupboard.

[Retta] Me neither.

I'm going to go to the bakery.

Good idea. I'll just get my bag.

Oh, after you.

There's something in that, isn't there?

-[phone ringing] -[gasps]

[beeps]

Hello.

Yeah, this is Ben.

Seriously? That... That's great.

No, awesome. Thanks, Mrs. Mackey...

Ah, Ms... Donna, right.

-[beeps] -That was the Boat Club.

I'm officially back in employment!

-Hey. -That's awesome, well done.

Oh, that's fantastic. Congratulations.

At least I'm back at home, back at work,

-I'm moving forward. -She obviously likes

your moves. This is the part where you say

-"Thank you, Nathan." -For what?

For the... For the moves, for the lucky moves.

-The itching powder. -For the itching powder!

[Carbo] Whoa!

[chuckles] This has been so much fun.

I've never played any practical jokes before.

Seriously? I didn't know that.

Well, I've never had brothers, or sisters,

or cousins, or even that many friends.

Well, next time you want to sit on a whoopee cushion,

-you come and see me, okay? -[chuckles]

[door closes]

[Rachel] Mom?

In here.

[Rachel] Hey.

Hey. This is a nice surprise.

Aren't you meant to be at work?

Yeah. I left early. I got a reprieve.

Ah, from what?

Oh, no, it's just work stuff.

Paul had to go to Melbourne earlier this morning,

thank God.

Listen, um...

I need your honest opinion about something.

It's not happening again, darling.

-What? -Jake is not Daniel.

How did you know I was going to ask that?

Daniel's been on my mind a bit lately, too.

And I can read you like a book. I'm your mother.

[chuckles]

I was so sure I knew him, Mom.

Now all this stuff with Jake, I just...

I can't help thinking

am I just a really bad judge of men?

No, you're not. And you know you're not.

Don't you?

Yeah. Of course.

I just need to have some reassurance.

[Julie] Oh, sweetie.

And I just keep thinking about that girl too.

What's her name, Jodi.

Why is she trying to ruin Jake's life?

Well, either she's making it up for her own reasons

or she's just got things confused.

I mean, surely, someone else must've seen something?

Mmm.

[door opens and closes]

-[Jake] Hey. -Hey.

-[Jake] You're home early. -Yeah, I escaped.

Huh?

-Sweaty. -Yeah.

But I, um... I left my jacket over the back of my chair

to make it look like I was still in the building.

Well, how'd it go with your boss?

Uh, he had to go interstate but that doesn't mean

the axe won't fall tomorrow.

Yeah, right.

[Rachel] Oh, well.

There are worse things in life, right?

Ha-ha.

So, look, I've been thinking--

Yeah, and?

Well, you have told the police

the whole story about Camel and the others?

Yeah. I'm not an idiot.

They've got their story and I've got mine.

What do you mean? They're sticking by you?

Well, no, the last thing they saw was me dragging Jodi

out of that room.

And that's the truth unfortunately.

Yeah, but they're your friends.

They should be defending you.

I mean, it's their fault that she was getting drunk

-in the first place. -Don't.

She wasn't saying no, Rach.

So, what exactly are they saying?

That the last thing they saw--

Was you dragging her out of the room, yeah,

you said that but they know you.

They know that you would never do something like that,

-so why aren't they telling-- -Yeah, enough.

Can we not, please?

Okay. Sorry.

-We'll leave it to the police. -Yeah.

-You're back. -[Jake] Hey.

-Hungry? -Yeah.

Well, I'll take that as a hint.

I'm going to go for a walk.

Oi, oi. What's your problem?

Right, why don't you just sign the contract, mate?

She knows she did the wrong thing.

She's trying to fix it like...Oi, grow up.

[dramatic music playing]

[chattering indistinctly]

[man] Play on!

Camel.

Oi, Camel!

[man] Eddie, behind! Eddie, behind!

Camel, I need to talk to you!

[man] Do you want to talk to me?

[players chattering indistinctly]

Hey, Rach. How are you, sweetheart?

No, drop the act.

Where the hell do you get off dropping Jake in your mess?

Calm down. I have done nothing to Jake.

Oh, right, so that girl you got drunk--

I didn't get anyone drunk.

She was already drunk. We all were.

Well, that makes it okay then?

Rachel, we have already told the cops everything we know.

Now what happened after Jake and her left my room

-is anyone's guess. -Are you kidding me?

It wouldn't be the first time a one night stand

went wrong, would it?

There was no one night stand with Jake

and you know it. You're just trying to deflect

the heat from yourself.

Listen, Rach, I wish I could help you,

but I can't.

I've got to get back to training.

You're supposed to be his friend.

How can you let this happen?

I wasn't there.

[scoffs]

What do you want me to do? Lie to the cops?

He could go to jail over this, Camel!

[Camel groans]

[groans]

Mmm-hmm.

Oh! [gasps]

Oh, not the moustache.

Whatever happened to privacy around here?

Oh, was there ever any?

Oh!

Gee. Can't remember the last time

I saw you without the old tickler.

It must've been the 80s.

New Year's Eve, 1995.

-Ah. -I lost a bet with Des Crump.

Mmm.

I reckon a change is as good as a holiday.

Mmm. So who is she?

-Sorry? -Well, learning Cantonese,

sudden interest in Chinese food, new look.

Yeah, well, I might have my eye on someone.

Oh. [laughs]

So, does she know you're interested?

I haven't found the courage yet.

Aw. Well, I'm sure you will when you're ready.

-Mmm. -[Julie] Excuse me.

I'll give you back your privacy.

Mmm.

[footsteps departing]

[door closes]

[Rachel crying]

-Sorry. -Oh, it's okay.

[Coby] Are you okay?

Ah, no, not really.

You know I can't sign that thing.

No, I know, it's fine.

I don't really understand it, but it's fine.

When I was 10,

my mum's boyfriend caught me drawing.

He called me a poof, threw me against the wall,

broke my arm in three places.

Since then...

if I wanted to draw, I kept it a secret.

And that is the only place that I've ever had for me.

I'll leave you to it.

Why did Rachel leave so early?

[Jake] Oh, she's got a big day at work, mate.

It looks like she might lose her job.

[Camel] Good morning, Jakey.

What is that joker doing here?

[Jake] Just ignore him, all right? Just ignore him.

[Camel] Oh, come on, mate. Don't be like that.

Talk to me.

I don't really want to hear anything

-you've got to say, Camel. -You know, I really hate

that we're not friends anymore

but that was your call, not mine.

Just like pulling Jodi out of my room.

-That was your call. -Oh, yeah, like there was

-nothing going on in there? -Leave it. Coby, leave it.

That'd be right. Hide behind your boyfriend.

You know, I thought getting Rachel to do your dirty work

-was bad enough. -What?

-What was that, Camel? -Yeah, mate, she turned up

at training, sprouting some crap about us

letting you down. I've got to tell you,

the boys didn't appreciate it.

Yeah, well there... there are some things

that I don't appreciate.

I get that, yeah?

But tell her to back off.

You know this could get ugly.

[whispers] I always knew she had bigger balls than you.

-Just shut it! -[Jake] Oi!

Easy, easy.

-[Coby] Just do it! -Back off!

You know you are so lucky that that wasn't you

'cause you wouldn't want to add assault

to your rape charge.

-What was that? -Don't worry about it.

Let's just go to work.

Good to see you. Bye-bye.

Ah, [speaking Mandarin] Ted.

I was a bit worried we'd scared you away.

Yeah, well my, uh, white crane

spreading wings

wasn't much chop, was it?

Look, it takes ages.

Don't be put off.

Anyway, I've got to go but we should talk some more.

Maybe we could have a coffee later if you're free?

How about we have some lunch at the Boat Club?

My shout.

Oh, I don't know.

-12:00? -That's very generous.

Hey, it's half price Wednesday.

And they do a lovely sweet and sour.

Okay. All right. See you then.

[whistles]

Look, don't take my head off--

-Just say it. -But I...

I reckon it was dumb for Rachel to go to Camel

like that but I reckon she was just trying to help.

You're changing your tune.

[Coby] Yeah, well, I'm just saying if it was me,

I wouldn't go off at her.

Well, I'm not going to.

-Are you serious? -Yeah, look,

you hang around with Rachel long enough

and you learn that she does a lot of wrong things

for all the right reasons.

-[Dave] Morning. -Hey.

[Dave] On time for a change? Come on.

[Jake] Yeah, we got held up a bit.

-[Dave] Yeah, whatever. -[Jake] Sorry about that.

Hey, are you going to need me all day today?

What? You got something else on?

-Dentist. -What?

-When's that? -Now.

Well, you could've given us some more notice.

[Coby] Well, I'm not going to be long.

Two hours tops.

All right. Away you go.

[Jake] Good on you.

First day at work, mate. You're going to blitz it.

Yeah, until I have to explain the itching powder.

Well, she hired you when she thought you had fleas.

Everything's a step up from there.

Thanks. Just keep your fingers crossed for me.

Hey, um, look, it's good to have you back, mate.

I mean it. The place wasn't the same without you.

Thanks, mate. And, um, well,

-thanks for all your support. -[Carbo] Yeah.

[Ben] I appreciate it.

It really means a lot to me.

Anyway.

-See you. -See you.

[whispers] Carbo!

-Carbo! -Yeah?

That's the best you could come up with?

-Yep. -[Ben] Later then.

Go and get them, Benno.

Have fun.

-Rachel, they're here. -[Rachel] Who?

-The alcopop team. -What? How?

Client privilege. They just dropped in.

Oh, where's Paul?

Meeting room.

[Paul] It shouldn't be much longer.

Would anybody like something to drink?

-Hi. -[Paul] Rachel.

-[Rachel] Hi, Paul. -Perfect timing.

Hi, everyone. It's lovely to see you again.

-Shirley. -[Shirley] Hello Rachel.

-Mark. Nice to see you. -Hi.

[Paul] Rachel's been doing a lot of work

in securing our artist.

Um, Paul, could I just see you outside for a second?

-We haven't got much time. -It's... It's really important

and it actually has a bearing

on what we're about to discuss.

We've got a lot to get through.

Our friends have another meeting in--

Paul, I really think it's important.

[Coby] Oi! Rachel!

Where are you?

Oi, Rachel!

Would you just...

Just excuse me for a minute.

[Coby] Rachel!

-[Rachel] Coby! -Hi.

Your mate here wasn't going to let me in.

What... What are you doing here?

Um, where's that contract thingo?

Rachel, what's going on?

-Um... -Who is this?

Um, have you met our artist?

I am here for the alcopop crap.

Shh!

He's very subversive.

Where do I sign?

Get him a contract.

[imitates Paul] Get him a contract.

[laughing]

This way!

Settling in?

No place like home.

Barman.

A bit of a step down.

Still, it's a start.

For any shift that begins after 5:00.

I assume that won't be a problem?

No, not at all.

-I'm sure the customers will-- -Clientele.

The clientele will appreciate it.

Speaking of which, I did ask the regulars

and the staff about you,

admittedly because I thought

you might have some medical condition.

No I... I don't have a condition, or fleas.

-I can explain-- -Why didn't you tell me

about your wife?

Because it's personal.

Of course it is

and I'm very sorry for your loss.

I do know how hard it is to pick yourself up

and face the world again.

Thank you.

So, if it wasn't fleas, what was it?

It was itching powder.

Sort of my brother's idea of a sick joke.

It's kind of a war.

Oh, well, that would explain the sign on your back.

The what?

[Donna] Time for a cease fire, I think.

It won't happen again.

The, uh, wedding's all set up.

Mmm, hopefully in the right room.

Well, in the room that you told me to.

Have you seen the bride's name?

-Wong? -The Wong wedding.

Hopefully in the right room.

-[laughs] -Oh.

-[laughs] -[Ted] Ben.

Tuck your shirt in.

Sorry.

Waiting for a hot date, Grandad?

Are you seriously waiting for a date?

Mate, just keep your voice down.

She's just a friend.

Oh, sure.

So, uh, would this friend like a bottle of champagne?

Yeah, in one of those ice buckets.

-I'll tell you when. -You dirty dog.

Hey, she's here. Nick off.

I'm so sorry I'm late.

My appointment was only supposed to take

half an hour, but you know what bank managers are like.

Oh, it's fine. I just... just got here myself.

Thanks for being so patient.

Look, I can't stay too long.

So, these are for you.

Now, yesterday was just a taster.

But if you're really interested in signing up,

you'll find a lot of information in these.

It's not just about the physical benefits.

So much of it is mental and spiritual too.

Now, I'll start by talking about the physical side

and then if you're not bored senseless,

we'll move onto the spiritual.

Tai chi has amazing curative

and restorative qualities.

It can improve balance...

[Julie] Well, we're going to have to take you shopping

this weekend for a backpack for day care.

What do you think? Fairies or trucks?

-Oh. -Yes, oh.

Yes, trucks all right. Trucks it is then.

Oh, hey.

How was your date with destiny?

Well, I just made a complete fool of myself.

Oh, Dad. Did she turn you down?

Oh, no, no, she didn't turn me down.

She just wasn't interested.

Tell me what happened.

Anybody home?

[Ben] I'm in the kitchen, Grandad.

Imported.

I thought this might do the trick.

Thanks.

I'm buying your silence.

I don't want what happened today

going any further.

I wasn't going to tell anyone.

Maybe Nathan and Rachel, but I won't.

Very reassuring.

That woman doesn't know what she's missing out on.

Thanks, mate.

Grandad, wait!

Sorry, that was meant for Carbo.

I guess this is just one of those days.

Can I do anything?

Okay.

Yeah.

Bye.

-What's going on? -I can't believe it.

Hamish's wife's won full custody of Jack.

He's devastated.

Poor bloke.

What can he do now?

Get used to the fact that he'll only see his son

every second weekend

and lunch breaks if he's lucky.

[Ted] It's just too much for one man to take.

Dad?

Dad what's happened?

Your bloody son is what happened.

Obviously, I've lived a bad life.

Oh, come on. You're not serious?

Why wouldn't I be?

Well, because it's funny.

It's not funny.

It looks pretty funny from this angle, Ted.

[laughing]

It's just a bit of flour.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're right.

-Give me a hug. -No, no!

-No, Dad! No no! -Give your old man a hug

-and make it better, eh! -No! No, Dad! Don't you dare!

Come on, give us a hug!

Coby, you are a god.

-Did he tell you what he did? -What's she been smoking?

Oh, I have no idea

what made you change your mind

but I'm so incredibly grateful.

Rachel, I don't know what you're talking about.

He signed the contract for the artwork.

Oh, so there was nothing wrong with your teeth then.

Yes.

I'm officially the golden girl

at work again and it's all thanks to you.

-No biggie. -[Rachel] Are you kidding me?

You are a real artist now.

And if anyone's got a problem with that,

you can chuck them up against a wall.

-Why a wall? -[Coby] Oh, it's a long story.

If you're lucky, one day I might tell you.

Yeah, speaking of lucky, this is for you.

Now, I know it's probably not as much

as you were expecting but...

Are you kidding me?

Yeah, you earned it.

Oh! All this money's for me?

Yeah. Yeah, there'll be more.

Way...

[Coby] Oh, Jakey, do you reckon

there's room in the sunroom for a pinball machine?

Look, I reckon if you're buying,

there's room for anything.

Oh, ladies and gentlemen, tea is on me tonight!

You, bring the hubby. Let's go.

-We're going to the pub! -[Jake] Oi, oi, oi, don't let

-me clean this by myself. -Hey?

[Rachel] You might want to change first.

Oh, blame your grandad.

I often do.

Boy, you seem happier.

Yes, well, one of the problems miraculously fixed itself.

Maybe the other one will too.

Wax on, wax off.

[Julie] Maybe my whole family was fixing itself.

Maybe we were all back on track.

So, do you think we're safe leaving Coby at the pokies?

Oh, he's got a $50,000 limit and he's only playing

five cent machines. He'll be right.

[laughs] Yes, and not home for quite some time.

No.

[Julie] And maybe I was speaking too soon.

[Rachel] Oh, my God.

-Who did this? -Who do you think.

[Rachel] What? Camel?

[Jake] Yeah, or one of the boys on the team

or one of the girlfriends, or it was someone

who overheard them talking in a pub.

-We have to call the cops. -[Jake] What for?

I mean, we can't prove anything.

Can... Can you... Can you just go home?

What? No, I'm not leaving you.

[dramatic music playing]

[dog barks]

What the hell are you two looking at?

-Rachel, please. -No, he didn't do anything!

-Okay? -Leave it!

No, but you didn't, baby!

Leave it!

[dramatic music playing]

[Julie] Our perception of the world

constantly changes for better or worse.

But sometimes no matter how hard we try,

perception sticks.
