Previously on Five Bedrooms:

I'm not good enough to move out with,

I'm not good enough to marry,

So what am I good for?

I'm just going to head out to the block for a bit.

I don't want to talk about it now.

Well, I think we need to.

I don't have the words for it yet, hey.

Stand down, soldier.

I knew it was over before you did.

You've had this on tap for months and you've still got wood for the old bag.

I've never been so ashamed of you.

$25,000 will be very effective.

You can't bribe Cynthia!

Manju withdrew $35,000.

It was a bribe to try and talk down Harry's receptionist.

I can't find the money.

Mum?

I've just come to my mother's house and she's, um, she's died.

I think it's been a few hours.

She died alone, thinking I didn't give a shit.

I wouldn't say I'm well known for my philanthropic work.

But the past six months, nursing Manju, were genuinely selfless.

But even with the purist of intentions, I'd overstepped.

And it had put me at odds with the person I love most in the world.

Okay, and where was he cremated?

Is that something Mum specifically said she wanted or is that the custom?

Right, I see.

Well, she was all about the customs.

Thank you,

Auntie.

Manju did have...

Um, Harry, um, sorry.

Manju did have a few things she was hoping for in terms of the funeral.

She just told me how important it is to get the final send-off right.

What did she want?

Knock, knock.

Ah, just walk in.

It's all right.

Let's get it done, hey.

Hey, hi.

Hello ladies.

Uh, Harry, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

She was bloody magnificent.

Col, what's with the bag?

We're just here to grab a few things for Simmo.

Yeah, we're just in and out.

Pretty confident we can tell his clothes from yours.

Sorry.

Well if you wanted to supervise in case of any line balls...

So Simmo asked you to come here and get his shit?

Does he know about Manju?

Yeah, he does.

That's why he's not here in the flesh.

I feel insensitive to him.

Note.

Note!

Oh, shit, he wanted you to have that.

Ains, I'm so sorry.

Ta, Simm.

So, we're in and out.

Yep.

Sorry, everyone.

Why are you sorry?

Ah, it's just a reflex.

So you were telling me what my mother couldn't say to me.

Um, just... she wanted this photo.

Just laid on the casket at the viewing.

She felt it captured her essence.

If you want, I could get it framed.

I'll do it.

If you really want to help, you could try and find the 35 grand.

Where is he?

Not at liberty to disclose his location at this time.

I do need some clarification around this jaffle maker though.

It's pretty standard issue.

It's 220, 240 volts.

Put the fucking jaffle maker down.

This is not the way a grown man ends a two-year relationship.

Well, we all handle pain...

Shut up, Col.

Taking it.

Well, it's how he handles stuff, Heath.

He just needs some time and space to be nurtured.

So he's at Pammy's.

Jesus, mate.

Okay, those are clearly lady weights.

Well thankfully, Heath, we don't all live

in the gendered cage that you've built for yourself.

Do these belong to you?

Is he coming to Manju's?

Of course.

I think so, yeah.

I need to see him before then.

I'm not going to see him for the first time at the funeral.

Ains, you can't push him.

He'll just go further into his shell.

If there was a way of getting him to talk, I'd do it, mate.

I'm 100% team Simmsly, but when Sim's done, he's done.

He's always been that way.

You've only known peripherally for what?

A year?

Well, we're similar beasts.

We give and give and live in the hope that one day,

all the love and worship will land back in our lap.

Is this your meat grill?

He didn't give that to us as a gift, did he?

No, mate, that's mine,

but give it to Simmo.

He needs it more than me.

Hey, Pammy.

Oh, he's not here.

Kevin's not here.

Pammy, he clearly is.

Please, I just need five minutes.

I just want to see him, talk to him, that's it.

He's... he's in a place.

Yeah.

Well, we both are.

You know the family history.

No?

They go down like a pack of cards, the Fitzsimons men.

Every two or three years minimum.

Ains, I really thought you were the one.

And I don't want you to feel guilty about what you've done.

I don't want that for you.

I mean, have you shattered my beautiful boy into a million little pieces, yes.

Sorry, Pammy.

You do know that Simmo broke up with me?

Kevin?

Sorry, I was just ...

Once you make it to this level, you can't get out of there.

Oh, who'd like a cup of tea?

Oh.

We're right thanks, mum.

I'll... I'll... I'll... I'll shut the door then.

No, just leave it open, please.

I know you don't want to talk.

I really don't, eh.

Do you think you'll come to

Manju's funeral?

Probably not.

I just feel like... I just feel like... I just feel like...

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I might get crazy now.

Well, bring the AK-47 then.

Sorry, about that.

I'd really love for you to come.

Yeah.

I can't come.

Simm, I'm worried about you.

I'll be right.

I just can't be around you.

I'm... I'm trying to move on.

Seriously?

He's acting like a teenager.

It's pretty fucking average.

Well, that's just his way.

He closes in.

He wouldn't hide 35 grand in a washing machine.

Yeah, I wouldn't.

But I come from a long line of dodgy bastards.

I'm hoping Manji was just an amateur.

Hey, buddy!

I've already checked both bathrooms.

I told you that.

This is the laundry.

Yep, I know that I've already been through there.

Yeah, but you say bathrooms.

Does that include the ensuite too?

Yes.

Have you checked behind all the electrical sockets?

Not all of them.

Could you do that?

Give us a sec.

Oh, hang on, what's this?

What the hell's this?

Nah, it's just a carton of durries I think.

No cash here.

Yeah, no cash.

Look,

I love Ains.

You know I do, but...

She doesn't love Simm the way he loves her.

Yeah, well I think she does.

Oh, she never has.

You know what? He better turn up to the funeral.

And he's known Manju for four years.

She's cooked that boy a lot of meals.

All right, I'll talk to him.

When you've checked the electrical sockets, can you then check the hot water service?

Yep.

And the lining of the mattresses.

Where are you going?

I'll be back.

You just search the couch cushions.

Cuppa?

Yep.

All right.

Miss Pascoe, hello.

Elizabeth Wendell.

Yes, yes, I know.

Your doctor Sethi's...

I never really did understand that relationship to be frank.

Unfortunately, I've come with some bad news.

Manju, Harry's mother, passed away.

Oh, I am so sorry to hear that I...

I knew she was ill, but it is always very difficult, isn't it?

It is, yes.

Have you heard from Manju recently?

Yes, yes.

A few days ago, I did.

I know, but um, nothing since then?

No.

No, but I'm not sure if you're aware of the situation with Dr. Sethi and myself.

I'm very much aware, yes.

So no additional approach at all from Mrs. Sethi, since that call?

Approach?

No reach out or, um, packages or, um,

any attempts at persuasion, emotionally or financially.

There really was just the one very unusual phone call.

Those are very lovely earrings you're wearing.

Well, my husband gave them to me on my honeymoon.

Oh, just that they look brand new.

Well, I do take good care of them.

Is that right?

I'm going to close the door now.

Hello.

Hello, this is Victoria.

Victoria, hi.

Hello.

It's Liz.

Oh, my God, Liz.

Liz!

Oh, sorry, the signal is shocking.

It's so good to hear your voice.

Where are you?

London.

Melbourne.

What?

You didn't say anything.

Oh, it was all very last minute just for a couple of meetings.

Does mum know?

No, um...

I owe her a call.

How are you?

Oh, yeah, good.

I've got six weeks to go.

Oh, and how's Bella?

Good.

She still remembers you, barely.

But she knows that she has an auntie Liz.

Ah.

How's Stuart?

Good.

Um, so hard to keep up with.

Just go, go, go, go.

Tell me about it,

Philip's exactly the same.

He's discovered supplements.

We should get the boys together.

Oh, they'd be bouncing around like toddlers.

What are you doing right now?

Oh, my God!

God, look at you.

Oh, no, an absolute whale.

Oh, you look amazing.

Oh, look at you.

The jet lag's setting in.

No, no, I think I'm over the worst of it.

Now, please tell me that you're coming for Christmas.

I don't think I can.

Oh, don't you?

It'll be the fifth one in a row!

No.

So the last time you came was just after Bella was born, three weeks post-Caesarian

mum was still criticising my biscotti.

It's just a minor cash flow issue.

It just would be the international accounts.

I think it must be a temporary lockout.

It's probably a password issue until it's resolved.

So how much do you need?

Like a thousand.

A little bit more than that.

How much more?

Well, let's see.

I've got to settle the accommodation,

and then buy a couple of flights.

How much?

About 25,000 more or less?

Is it more or less?

More?

So 30? 35.

I mean...

I'd have to talk to Philip.

Of course!

I'm sensing... This is weird.

No.

Liz.

Liz... Is everything okay?

Yes, of course.

And look, if it's a big deal, don't worry about it.

I just assumed... Oh, no, no, it's fine.

I'll talk to Philip.

He's out with the old boys right now, so I'd need to talk to him tonight.

Thank you.

Of course.

I love what you've done with these, these couches

Are these, um...

Any luck?

I've checked every square inch.

Ben and Heather are liabilities.

But I'm almost two-thirds of the way there.

There are only a few places it could possibly be.

It's just maths.

I will find it.

I have something I want to pitch to the house,

and it'd be great to do it with your backing.

Yeah, what?

I think I want to sell.

This house?

I just need to clear everything, you know, a clean slate.

You sure you want to make that kind of decision now?

Yeah.

Just when everything's in a state of flux?

You wouldn't want to?

Wow.

This is not just me, there are three other people involved.

Hey, guys, can we have a quick word?

Yeah.

I know this may seem out of the blue, but I've been

thinking a lot about what's next for me, you know?

And I'm going to need some kind of circuit breaker.

And I want to be upfront about the fact that now

might be a good time for me to think about selling this house.

Dead set?

I think we can assume Heather would want to sell.

I'm not sure that we can assume...

Where do you two stand on this?

Well, I'm just... I'll always go with the flow if that's what

everybody wants, but Lizzy, you're looking a bit wobbly.

Um... Oh, it's an interesting idea.

It's certainly a conversation,

but maybe not when we're all in a bit of shock.

I'm not in shock.

Well, Ainsley's coping with a lot too, right now.

Actually, I think it's a great idea.

So that's a majority.

Oh, it's not really.

It's too out of five.

You said you'd go with the flow.

Oh, do we call that a flow yet.

Oh, we could if you say yes.

Ains, do you think you could list it yourself?

Um, oh, it doesn't quite work like that.

Harry, we need to at least talk to Heather.

Okay, but she's already moved out.

Well, that's not the same as selling it.

Are you seriously going to block this?

I'm not blocking this.

Just as your friend, I don't want you to rush into a

major decision when you're in a fragile state.

Oh, God!

You are just suffocating me!

Well, I'm not going to ask if you're sure, because you did at least four tests.

Seven.

Seven.

I did seven tests.

And I thought about doing more.

Fucked.

Is there any one feeling that's bigger than the others?

Fear.

How far in?

Not very.

All I feel is panic

and fear and just...

not now, just not right now!

You don't have to do anything right now

or tomorrow

or next week

or till you're ready.

I can't keep this from Simmo.

You can, if you want to.

You should do whatever you need to.

Your mom's arrived and your aunt and Apress are inside.

Come through.

I'm just going to...

Are you okay?

I'm sorry

for your loss.

Oh, my boy.

Oh, your parents are reunited now.

They are shining down on you.

So proud of their doctor son.

Are we sure we want to position mum right here?

Maybe we should put it in the backyard.

No, it must be the house!

Of course, yep.

Come through, please.

Thank you.

Come through please.

Come through, please.

Hi.

Hello.

Oh, feels right, doesn't it?

The also-rans.

Roadkill, losers corner.

What?

Are you and the big fellow...

Done.

Yeah.

I mean, today's not about me, but it is the right vibe.

Oh. My condolences.

Sorry, I hadn't heard.

Well, a loss is a loss

is a loss.

So Heather didn't say?

Wonder why.

Sorry.

Oh, come on.

What?

Open your eyes, man.

I'm pretty sure my eyes are open.

Yeah, they're open.

Have a look at them.

All I can see is two adults chatting at a funeral.

Is he for real?

I think he's for real.

Okay, first of all, they're not adults.

And second of all, they're back on.

I mean, emotionally, it was never off, but I would bet cold hard cash

on the fact that physically it's back on too.

And if it's not, it's only half a chance away.

Look, I'm really sorry about you and Ben.

Obviously, you are still in a lot of pain.

No, I'm not.

OK, but you've got no idea about Heath's situation.

You're a glass half-full guy.

Of course you are.

Yes, and you're near-sighted too.

Okay, I'm just going to go and stand over there.

Yeah, live your life, man.

What do you reckon this is?

It's probably a cultural thing where they bring

her around to us rather than us go to her.

Oh, like a lap of honour?

Cool.

It's a beautiful ensemble.

I always felt a deep kinship with Benjamin.

He's probably told you about our special bond.

Who are you again?

Colin?

Doyle?

Heather's ex.

Oh, that's right.

The thing with Benny and I, it's a special quiet, precious thing.

I've worked very hard at it because he is one hell of a hard nut to crack,

but crack it I did.

And I thought I always had a handle on him, who he was as a guy, but for him to let

someone like you slip through his fingers, just defies understanding, doesn't it?

Preacher, choir man.

What?

You are bang on, little man.

Excuse me, please.

You're welcome.

Oh, okay.

Watch yourself there.

What are Mel and Colin doing up there?

Who invited them?

Simmo, Simmo!

Excuse me.

Are you two supposed to be here?

Yeah, we're supposed to be here.

Step back a little bit.

It's so hard to believe that...

that she's gone.

You must remember she will be back soon.

I just hope that her soul is at peace.

No, she's definitely coming back probably as a goat or a bull.

Welcome, everyone.

We are here today to say goodbye to Mangju Sethi in her home

before she is taken to the crematorium, where finally her spirit will be set free.

But first, I know her son Harpreet would like to say

a few words before we light the holy ghee.

Harpreet.

Thank you, Guruji.

And thank you all for being here.

Mum would have loved to have seen all of these faces.

Mum was...

Sorry, I...

She...

She was...

Do you want me to...

What are you doing?

I just, I'm more than happy to read from your notes.

No, please, just go back.

We will let the holy ghee in honor of Manju.

Poor old granddad, I laughed at all his words

I thought he was a bitter man

He spoke of women's ways.

They'll trap you when they use you

Before you even know

For love is blind and you're far to kind

Don't ever let it show

I wish that I knew what I know now

when I was younger

I wish that I knew what I know now

When I was stronger

I'm going to bail.

I really thought they'd be first.

Full respect to Manju and the road less travelled and all that, but

seriously, what's the fucking point?

If you ever wanted to chat about getting caught in the emotional slipstream

of Ben and Heather, I'm here. I'm there.

I've lived it, still there in many ways.

I've bobbed along the raging torrent grasping for breath.

I've clung onto logs only to discover that they weren't actually logs.

What?

I know what you're going through, that's all.

Dude, I'm all good, but do you want to get on the piss now?

I've palmed the kid off till four.

Right, okay.

Roger that.

Cool. You're buying.

It's like front lawn, back lawn, hedge trimming, and it's up.

Yeah, yeah, of course.

It's just finding the time.

Yeah.

Yeah, basically.

Hey.

Hello.

You changed your mind.

I did yeah, yeah, I just wanted to pay my respects to the Manj.

Have you been drinking?

Well I had a couple before I came, yeah.

There's no drinking at a hindu funeral.

Well you asked me to come, Ains.

Not drunk.

Ah, well, okay, I see the same old story.

Old Simmy's not quite up to scratch, is he.

I'm just shitting you, I'm OK.

Ains,

could you please help me?

I have to keep this alight all the way to the crematorium.

Sorry, Simm.

Oh, you look lost.

Look, I think we're okay.

You're sure?

Yes, I think.. Yeah, we're fine.

Ainsley will come with me.

Yes.

Thank you.

Sorry.

I'm sorry for interrupting.

Hey, uh, think I might get going home.

Do you want to come or...?

Oh, no, look, I might just stay and give them a hand cleaning.

Oh, I could stay. I can give you a hand cleaning.

No, it's fine, you go home.

Oh, okay.

See you, Liz.

Hi.

Sorry, I know you don't do drop-ins.

Um, that's fine.

Have you got my texts?

Which text in particular?

Have you had a chance to speak to Philip yet?

No, sorry.

When do you think that might happen?

Liz, I can't go to Philip with some story about credit cards and hotel bills.

I need to know what's actually going on.

I have told you repeatedly.

I know that you were bankrupt.

I've known for years.

I know that you were marched out of Everly and Associates.

I know that it's over with Stuart.

I thought that if I just gave you some space, you might own it.

But...

And look, if you need $35,000, of course, of course.

But I would ask for some honesty.

Oh, sorry.

Who's Harry?

Harry, Harry.

My Harry, my best friend, Harry, of the decade, Harry.

Right, okay.

And so it was his mother that you were nursing so that you could take her money.

No. No!

No, she lost it.

Liz!

She did! She physically misplaced it.

Can you actually hear yourself?

You are bankrupt.

I am out of bankruptcy.

Volunteering to nurse a dying woman who just happens to lose $35,000.

It's the truth.

When I was little, I idolised you.

You're so intelligent, so stylish.

And now, look at you.

It's just devastating.

You live in some kind of refuge for middle-aged people.

It's a share house.

You're a stranger to your own family.

You're pilfering money.

That's not what I did.

Begging for cash.

I will give you the money.

But please, let me help get you back on your feet.

OK.

The money's in your account.

Do you want a G&T?

Yes, please.

Sorry, it took so long.

Where was it?

In the freezer.

She put it in a plastic bag inside a tupperware container in the freezer.

Literally, the last place I looked.

Thank you.

I'm so sorry about the speech.

No, I was at sea.

I'm sorry I snapped.

Any idea what you're going to do with it?

Would it be tragic if I started backpacking in my 30s?

Oh, it wouldn't be backpacking.

You've got 35K that's matching luggage and a valet,

but yeah, I think traveling would be brilliant.

And, uh...

if you really want to sell this place,

of course.

OK.

Sure?

Yeah, I'll support it.

You'll give me your permission.

No,

I'll give you my support.

Oh, thank you.

Harry, I have apologised and apologised.

I've done everything I can think of.

And I know that you're grieving and in shock,

but you are being a complete asshole.

Hey.

Jeez, that took a while.

Yeah.

For an event with no food, there's a lot of cleaning.

Yeah, well, that's still warm.

Jeez, I hope you weren't lobbed with it all by yourself.

No, Ben was there.

Oh, just the two of you?

Yeah, Harry's got like 800 aunts.

Apparently none of them were available.

What?

No, nothing.

Mel's got a lovely way with words, hasn't she?

Just pure poetry.

Had an interesting chat with her and Col.

Really?

Plenty of curly rumours flying around about you and Ben, hey?

He will not let go of the idea of Ben and I being together.

He's obsessed.

Wasn't Col.

Mel?

That'd be right.

Thanks for this.

Pretty good, isn't it?

It's okay.

You look good.

Where are you?

Why aren't you coming in?

Mel cornered Ed yesterday.

She spent half the funeral trying to convince him that you and I are back on.

Oh.

I need you to deal with it.

I'm not with Mel anymore.

You brought her into our lives in the first place.

So what, now she's my responsibility, is she?

Yeah. No!

Okay.

Put yourself in Ed's shoes.

Imagine how you'd feel if your partner spent a ton of time hanging out with her ex

and you kept hearing that she was on with him.

Well, you and I don't spend any time together.

Ben, we do win.

When?

If you can't hear what I'm saying, then the only thing I can do is just cut contact.

Just like that.

Well, before you cut me out of your life,

why don't you... I don't know.. have a chat to your boyfriend about his bloody jealousy?

He's not jealous.

And I'm not doing this for him.

Well, Ok.

That's just bloody awesome, Heath.

It's an... excellent way to finish it.

Fuck!

Oh, Ains, could you get that?

Do you mind getting it?

Ben?

Yeah, just a sec.

I'll go.

Oh, no, no, that's fine.

I need to see Dr. Sethi.

He's in his room.

We're trying not to disturb him.

Well, something arrived in the mail this morning.

I need to give it to him.

I'm more than happy to make sure that he gets that.

No, no, it's fine.

I really need to see Dr. Sethi in person.

It's just that I'll give him an complicated situation with him and he's grieving,

so maybe...

Dr. Sethi!

Please, I can make sure that he gets it.

He's been very sick.

Harry, um...

I...

I was so sorry

to you hear about your mother.

Thank you.

She posted this to me on Friday.

It came in the mail this morning.

There's no way around it.

It's a bribe.

Please don't tell me you withdrew $35,000 of your own money.

I thought that... wasn't that in the freezer?

You don't have $35,000.

Where did you get it from?

Doesn't matter.

Just tell me.

I borrowed it.

From where?

From a bank?

You don't even have a job.

It was from Victoria.

Who?

Wait.

Your sister?

Well, I mean, this is yours.

Oh, no, honestly.

Liz, you cannot give me $35,000.

That's insane.

You didn't even go to her when you were bankrupt.

It seemed worth it.

Oh, there's a letter in here.

From mum.

I think.

Come, then.

Let's hear it.

It looks like it's quite loving.

Oh, maybe.

Not overly loving.

Just read it.

I cannot see you right now, but I have no

doubt you are handsomely presented as always.

I appreciate your attempt at style.

Please find enclosed $35,000 as an offer and a plea mother to mother.

I beg you to retract your complaint about my son.

I cannot fathom a world where her prete is not a doctor.

It is central to his being and his soul.

He has worked for his entire life, as have I.

And while he has many, many failings in all other aspects of his life,

he is wonderful at his job.

I trust you will make the right decision.

Mad you.

PS, my hope is to remain civil, but if you do not accept, I will not

hesitate to introduce you to the unsavory people in my family.

The next time on 5 bedrooms, then and Simmo, I am moving in with Colin.

I change my mind, we are not selling.

You joking?

What is it, I told Ben, I don't want to speak to him or see him anymore.

You don't get me.

And he just said the Ains is pregnant.

You cannot tell Simmo, this is not about him.

I am always going to love you after that.

Maybe we are just minds.
