Sorry, uh, I didn't ask for chai.

-This chai isn't what I... -So one chai,

-is that regular or not? -No,

I ordered a banana muffin and a strong cappuccino.

So that was a strong cup of chai.

Sorry, what was the other thing?

No, no chai, no chai of any strength or size,

-I want... -Oh, another muffin, is it?

Please, I just want coffee.

-With--coffee with two... -Muffins.

Please, please just give me a cup of muffin

and a strong banana.

[Nina] I have now lost the ability to communicate

with native English speakers.

[woman] I don't believe that Alice is alive.

You know I'm a rational person,

I don't believe in all that, you know, psychic rubbish,

-but I can feel it this time. -Sonja, please,

please don't build this up to be something.

I mean, it could turn out to be another false lead.

Stay the whole week in Brisbane,

Lucy and I will be fine.

Sweetheart?

Please, daddy's got to go for a few days, okay?

Will you look out for grandma for me?

-Good girl. -Okay.

Okay. Bye, baby.

Bye. Bye.

Goodbye, daddy.

-[rubber duck squeaking] -[Chris] All right.

No.

No.

-This one. -Hey, what are you doing?

[Nina] Okay, Nina. One step at a time,

-one word at a time. -No, no, Dr. Hershey

is having a patients while I'm on visit,

-I mean, um... -Give me that.

Look--hey, I'm glad you've--thank you, man.

Thank you for looking after people while I'm gone.

I really wouldn't be asking

if it wasn't urgent family stuff.

-Urgent family stuff? -Oh, okay, man.

All right. I appreciate it. No, I appreciate it.

All right, bye. Bye.

So, if parents have any questions,

if they're concerned about anything,

they can always contact me.

That's the third time you said that to me.

Look, I don't wanna leave anyone in the...

Don't worry, we understand.

-Nina? -Hmm?

-Can I speak with you? -Uh-hmm.

I'm really sorry.

It's all right, I'm fine.

And if you don't go, you'll always regret it.

Yeah.

Well, I'll be gone a week.

[Nina] What's the etiquette for saying farewell

to a man you almost had sex with

on the occasion of his search for his missing wife?

Better hurry or you'll miss that plane.

Okay.

Hey.

[Jimmy] Hey.

[Billie] Since when is this place familiar ground?

[Jimmy] I'm only here to borrow the croquet equipment.

[Billie] It's tragic, oh.

You realize these little games with me are deeply...

-Immature. -And truth is

-there's a pattern... -Of behavior.

Which means you wasting your life is an aimless...

-Bullshit artist. -Come on, I'm genuinely

concerned about you ending up like some kind of...

-Sad case. -Yes, which is why

I'm gonna stay on your case until...

hang on. How many croquet mallets are there?

There's isn't one there for Ivy?

-No, she's gone. -Gone?

-Uh-hmm, yeah. -What kind of gone?

I don't know, left for some band.

For how long? Is it--was she--

is she split with Mick?

[car engine revving]

What does Mick think about it?

Ask him yourself.

[car engine cut off]

What's with the suit, is that for the croquet as well?

Please address all questions directly

-to Mr. Holland. -Shh.

[car door opens]

-[Jimmy] Hey. -[Mick] Hey.

[dog barking]

Hey, does she know about Ivy leaving town?

-What did she say? -[Jimmy] Oh, mate,

this isn't primate school, "does your sister like me?"

Hello, Rocket.

I didn't know we required formal attire for the croquet.

Sorry, we got to postpone.

This is for a meeting I have to go to.

And can you look after Rocket? Please.

He's still sulking about Inspector Rex.

[Jimmy] Sure, but not for long.

Thanks, mate.

[Jimmy] Hey, I've got stuff too, you know.

[car engine revving]

[Nina] A week until he comes back, don't think about it,

don't--if-- don't think about it.

[Martin] You'll torment yourself for a week about Chris Havel.

-Pardon? -I said you'll tear

your hands apart if you scrub that hard.

Oh, yeah, a bit preoccupied.

-I can see. -Uh-hmm.

[music playing]

[Chris] South bank, please.

[Jimmy] Okay. I'm Inspector Rex

and I'm walking off the screen.

But there's no use in you looking for me

behind the TV set because I'm not there,

-I'm still in the show. -[dog whimpers]

Oh, mate, we're not lying to you.

Come here. Come here.

Good boy. All right?

Good news. Better than good.

Been to an advertising guy, song, song of mine,

sold it for a TV ad.

-Oh, hey. -Real money, 20 grand.

Oh, hey, hey. Rocket.

[indistinct]

[Jimmy laughing]

Get the money. Yeah, it's a really classy ad too.

I mean, it's not for a toilet cleaner or a bank.

It's an ad for milk.

Wholesome, natural, timeless.

And when I re-record the song,

an extra seven grand.

Oh, congratulations, mate.

You deserve it.

[woman] ♪ Why you say you got to have it ♪

-♪ Baby, I do too ♪ -Here, Rocket.

[woman] ♪ I cut out all of my bad habits ♪

♪ Some of my good ones, too ♪

♪ Oh, baby, I have nothing ♪

♪ But it wasn't enough for you ♪

♪ Because I had nothing ♪

♪ Now I have known you too ♪

♪ Known you too ♪

-[Mick] Hey, how's everything? -[Billie] On this date.

So, were you wanting something?

Got some good news, they're gonna use

one of my songs in a TV ad.

-[Darcy] Hey. -[Cherie] Oh, wow, fantastic.

[Darcy] Fantastic.

-[Mick] Yeah. Thanks. -So, what does Ivy think

about the good news?

Oh, that's right, Ivy's not around to make a fuss

-of you anymore? -What?

You expect me to make a fuss of you?

Uh, normal humans upon hearing good news

say things, like, "Oh, Mick, that's great news.

It's great news."

-Observe. -Well, just because Ivy's

not around, don't assume that I'm just gonna...

Something important happens to me,

it doesn't feel real until I tell you about it.

Apparently, I'm a moron to think that.

Come on, little Ray.

That was a bit mean.

All he wanted to do was share his big moment with you.

Well, since when did you become an expert

on interpersonal relationships?

And have you told dad about your father?

-Shh. -[Billie] Well, then maybe

you should look into your own...

communication issues.

[music playing]

[cell phone ringing]

I'm so sorry.

That could be urgent.

Oh, oh.

[grunts]

Sorry.

[Nina] What was he gonna say?

"Hopped off the plane and found my wife,

so goodbye forever."?

[music playing on stereo]

[Nina] Should I call back? No.

He'll call again if he wants to talk to me.

Beg your pardon.

[sighs]

Nearly finished.

[music playing]

[Nina] Ring now. Now.

I wonder where he is right this second.

[music playing]

[waves crashing]

[cell phone ringing]

[Geraldine] I picked Jimmy's jacket up off the couch

and pills fell out.

You have to respect his privacy.

Oh, it's not like an ordinary prescription,

they're just little white pills in a weird little bottle.

Oh, I know what they are, none of my business.

Put the pills back.

[sighs] Please, Nina, I'm worried.

[machine beeping]

[laughing]

Twenty bucks an hour for sniffing t-shirts.

[Jimmy] Oh, yeah, and there's this one

where I just listen to weird voices.

-Uh-hmm. -They're testing theories

about vocal pitch and sexual attraction.

See? It pays money to lust after women, watch movies.

-Do puzzles. -And drink beer?

-Paid by the hour. -Oh.

And you get free blood test too, here, check this out.

Whoa, both hands on the kit, blood monkey.

Gently now.

Chewed up a large chunk of the ad money.

It's worth it, though.

Part of the master plan.

Assemble studio gear,

make and upload a recording,

get lucrative record deal, be admired.

-[Cherie] Anyone want tea? -[Billie] Ooh.

-[Darcy] Yeah. -Yeah. I bet I know

what you like, your grandparents.

Would you like us to meet your grandfather?

Yes, you would, Ray.

Hey, Ray, don't you hate it

when people pretend to talk to you

when they're really banging on about their own agenda?

-Do it-- -[Darcy] Okay.

What is going on?

Hmm?

My father is in town,

my adoptive father.

His name is Gareth.

Hmm.

Gareth, tremendous. Can I meet him?

-Not entirely tremendous. -[Billie] Cherie grew up

in a happy-clappy Christian compound in South Australia.

You make it sound like it's Waco Temple of David.

It's nothing weird.

You know, lots of singing, and praising,

and eating tubs of starchy food.

And she never told her parents

that she got pregnant to an old guy.

Well, um, new beginnings, hey.

Gareth is Ray's maternal grandfather

so I would like to meet the man.

Yeah.

[Jimmy] Wow.

Outstanding achievement in privacy violation.

I find suspicious drugs, so.

Are you earning extra money by dealing?

-No. -What are those from?

-Oh, shit. -Needle marks?

Oh, mom, I know how your mind works.

-Are you sick? -Do not wrap Nina into this.

What, you're having blood test? What's wrong with you?

Mom, mom, just calm down and don't ring Nina.

Oh, you already rang Nina, that's great.

He's having blood test. He's got unidentified pills.

The other day, he said life is short.

Are you're really sick

and you know and you're not telling me?

Mom's scared? What's going on?

I signed up to be a subject in a drug trial.

-The money is not bad. -Oh, my God.

Uh, the suspicious drugs, aspirin,

they're trying new coding on it, no big deal.

[Geraldine] If it's no big deal

then why didn't you tell me about it?

-[Jimmy] Ugh. -Oh, I'm sorry

for being concerned about the welfare of my son.

Oh, your son the loser who's wasting his life.

-I didn't say that. -I can see the mouthful

of words you wanna say,

your cheeks are twitching like a squirrel.

Stop it.

Okay. Mom, I get why you're worried

but medical trials are controlled pretty carefully.

-See? -Then again, I hope you've made

a sensible assessment of the risks, Jim?

Can you hear how you sound, Nina?

-No. -Are you saying

that it's okay for your brother

to be a crash test dummy for drug companies?

[Jimmy] I'd expect a doctor to support my choice.

Uh, oh, I'm not not supporting you,

-I'm just trying... -Who should test the medicines

that you doctors wanna prescribe?

Other people's brothers but just not yours?

-Pull your head in. -[Geraldine] I've been in

the state of controlled panic

since the day you could walk.

Always hurling yourself in anything,

just to see what would happen.

What would it be like to be blind?

Mixing up strange concoctions

just to see what they taste like.

Sticking tools to yourself with superglue

to see if you could become like Inspector Gadget.

[Jimmy] Oh, mom, just relax.

Most of the jobs I'm doing this week

is psychology experiments at the uni.

You've chosen a career as a lab rat.

The medical stuff I'm doing is useful.

It's an experience.

It will finance travel adventures.

I'm sorry if that freaks you out, mom.

Oh.

Hi. I was hoping for a quick chat with Dr. Lucas.

Dream on, no appointments for a fortnight.

Right.

Actually, I just wanted to check something.

-Maybe you can help me. -I'm not a nurse.

No point showing me your nasty rash.

I'm not a patient. I'm a doctor.

I mean, that's not what this is about.

Then you can look at your own nasty rash.

Yes.

I wanted to check if my wife

had visited this practice recently

and would it be possible to...

Possible to stick your bacon to private patient records?

-Uh, no. -[Chris] Yeah, no, no,

I understand this patient confidentiality.

Uh, my wife's not well,

she's a missing person,

and this place is her last lead.

I'd really appreciate your help.

If I, um,

give you her Medicaid number,

could you check it through your system for me?

[music playing]

Thanks.

[music playing]

No, nothing.

Right.

Are you sure?

Okay.

Thanks for your help.

[music playing]

[Billie] So, how happy-clappy are Cherie's family?

And what's with the whole adoption business?

Like, what's happened to the birth family?

I suppose it does explain why Cherie has attached herself

to our family like a cunjevoi or clams

or some kind of crustacean.

[phone ringing]

-Hello? -[Chris] Hey.

How are--how are you? Is everything okay out there?

Yeah, everything's fine. All right.

It's a bit strange being back where I used to live.

I'm sorry I didn't actually get--

-I didn't catch what you said. -Uh, you're breaking up.

Did you say something was strange?

I'm just telling you that it's-- it must be a bad spot.

Something bad?

[Chris] No, bad spot, bad spot.

-Hello? -Sorry, Chris,

I can't hear you.

-I just--look, I just... -Okay. Can you hear me?

...I just wanted to hear your voice.

[ring dial tone]

[man] And then this guy is almost about to kiss me

and I'm trying to say, this isn't what--

this is not what it looks like.

It's not right.

Oh, man, it's good to see you.

All right, just spin your web of charm.

You pretend you're back here to visit me?

I've always liked Alice, amazing woman, partner.

Ooh, hard work.

She was, yeah.

You and your prodigious capacity

-for feeling guilty, don't. -You know, she always said

that she couldn't handle having a kid,

and then I talked her into going through the pregnancy,

-and then... -So maybe you're naive.

No, no, it was thoughtless, it was thoughtless,

and it was kind of selfish.

And even when she was struggling,

I didn't listen.

If you found out Alice was dead, how would you feel?

-Oh, it'd be terrible. -But you'd move on?

If you find out Alice was some crusty babbling nutbag,

living in a cardboard box, you--

-[Chris] I'd have to help her. -[man] Because you're that

kind of guy, you know, healer of the sick,

protector of the crazies.

What if you found out Alice is fine?

I don't know.

I guess I'd be relieved but...

You speak with denial,

but I get that.

Yeah, yeah, whatever. Call you back later.

Uh, are there any messages from Dr. Havel?

Memo to Dr. Proudman.

What? What wife?

I'm crazy about you, Chris.

Kiss, kiss, kiss.

No, nothing there.

Oh, cool.

Don't be nervous, dad, I think you look very presentable.

Dad, this is Darcy Proudman.

It's really great to meet you, Gareth.

Tremendous.

And I'm Billie, I'm Ray's godmother.

-Oh, right. -Hi.

Pleasure to meet you.

I'm also one of, um, Darcy's grownup kids.

Um, he's done his bit for the whole go forth

and multiply thing.

But there aren't dozens of us or anything like that.

-We can sit, you know. -Oh, um, Gareth.

Thank you.

I'm being nice to the man.

Oh, thanks, dad.

Well, I might sit here and look at my beautiful daughter.

So, should we say grace or something?

Perhaps we should wait for the food to arrive.

All three of those women might go into

the screaming and clawing stage

-at the same time? -Yeah.

Can you get a hold of Dr. Leigh?

-Already onto it. -Right. And can you get

an antibiotic sample for Mrs. Goodman

and give Mrs. Vanson the urine injection.

Did that come out wrong?

Yes, but I got what you meant.

Still that's terrible.

I wouldn't give someone a urine injection

no matter what you said.

[Nina] What is wrong with my brain?

Think then speak.

Sorry. Am I--am I being unclear?

You're the easiest to understand of all the doctors.

It's the head tilting

plus little mouth things you do.

-Pardon? -Like this one,

means I'm not sure this is the right decision.

And this,

-means annoying patient. -Oh.

When you work with someone for a long time,

you can read their signals.

[Nina] Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

It's a good thing.

[Nina] Am I revealing my innermost thoughts right now?

You okay?

Barbara would love to meet Ray

before he gets very much bigger.

Oh, of course, yeah, we should, uh, take a drive

over your way for a visit soon.

We would love that.

So, um, how far from the coast are you?

He's still handsome in a school-teachery way.

Shh.

Oh, by the way, um, mom and I would really love to be involved

in any wedding preparations.

Oh, who's getting married?

Well, we assumed that...

Um, uh, um, you see, Gareth, um, at this stage,

there's no, like, immediate...

Cherie and dad?

Oh, don't worry, Gareth,

I don't think you're gonna be hit with a wedding bill.

We haven't ruled anything out.

Dad, can we talk about this some other time?

Dad, maybe you should make an honest woman of Cherie,

become one flesh.

Sounds kind of saucy, but that's right though, isn't it?

-When... -Yes.

Billie, please.

I'm just trying to lighten the mood.

Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall inherit...

What do they inherit?

They will be called the sons of God.

You see, when two people create a child together...

It isn't as if living in sin means that Cherie's soul

is gonna be, whatever.

It makes me sad that Cherie

has put her soul in peril.

[Billie] Oh, God, you don't believe that whole

burning in hell horror story, do you?

Billie, the bible is the word of God.

Not some sort of self-help book

that you can dip in and out of.

It's not wriggling away

from the uncomfortable bits.

Oh.

[woman screaming]

We want an anaesthestist now.

-Two late now? -Uh-hmm.

I'll get someone from peds if you want.

-Yeah, I've tried that. -To what?

[screaming]

-[woman] I am fully-- -Psst.

Can you get the flyer for what's-her-face?

Yes, I've already done that.

Terrific, thanks.

[screaming continues]

If their champion like you said, is the other...

-Well... -Oh, that's a shame.

No, I'm still hopeful about that.

Me too.

-Was it... -Sticky? Yes.

So I'll email you those photos of Ray

so Barbara can look.

Uh-hmm.

Cherie, before we go,

could we just have a moment of prayer?

Lord, we thank you for this beautiful new life

and for this reunion.

Cherie is so precious

and we pray that she will not be lost to us

because we hope to be together not just in this life,

but for all eternity.

-Hey. -Hmm?

Cherie,

have you been dropping hints

about wanting us to get married?

Have I missed the signals?

There will never be any signals about me

wanting to marry you.

Okay.

Sorry, that came out mean.

When I'm with my dad, I get wound up.

Gareth does love you.

Comes with a lot of judgment crossed, you know.

Hmm.

We did it.

-Three babies in-- -Twenty three minutes.

-Well done, you. -And you.

-What? -The minute work slows down,

you go right back to thinking about Chris Havel, don't you?

Oh, Zara.

If you don't mind, reading my mind

for professional reasons is fine, but for private...

It's a hard mechanism to switch off.

Well, do your best.

No. That's it.

Hey, what do you want?

[Mick] Am I making a mistake?

About what? Ivy?

Blonde tips, living in domestic scholar.

Doing the advertising deal and the music.

-Am I selling out? -What?

[Mick] I always thought I'd never go down that path,

but, you know, they liked the song, I was flattered

and of course the money is pretty good.

Well, it's a bit late to play creative artist now, busty,

you've already spent the crappy commercial dollars

on new toys.

Look, I know that. I just--

I wanted to have a chat to you about--

No, go, go twiddle the knobs on your toy.

Thanks for that suggestion.

Hey, hey, we're not together anymore, all right?

You can't--you can't twiddle my knobs.

You can't moan to me about your creative crisis.

And where's that 200 bucks you still owe me?

I thought you'd be interested.

Don't worry,

this is the last time I'll bother you.

Shit.

Your wish. Your wish.

-Mr. Proudman? -That's me.

I'm here for the mild sleeping tablet trial.

I need to ask you a few questions.

I don't have any trouble sleeping myself,

but little woman at the front said that it doesn't matter.

We found a few anomalies with the paperwork.

Really? Oh, sorry.

Did I slip up something?

You ticked the box that say you haven't participated

in any medical trials in the last two weeks.

-Yeah, that's right. -In truth,

you've been involved in quite a few trials.

What?

Can I have a look at that?

Oh, a mate of mine is a shocking practical joker.

He's probably just made up a few forms.

-I don't-- -Does your mate know

how to forge your signature?

Wow.

Yeah.

Looks identical, right?

But see, what he's done with the J here is--

And does your mate look exactly like you?

Okay. I'm busted.

But look, I feel fine. It's all--

You're a pretty fluent liar.

I get by.

I'm involved in a research project

that needs convincing liars.

We might have a job for you.

[Chris] Good morning.

It's you again.

I can't help you and we're not even really open.

I thought I might leave a note for Dr. Lucas.

-Knock yourself out. -Thanks.

[Door opens]

[Sid] Good morning, Juvic.

Thank you.

Sid. Hi. Chris Havel.

I worked for the page unit in Mater Dei.

Oh, yeah, right.

Chris.

I sent you patients, right, um, those twins?

That's right. That's right.

-How are you? -I'm well.

I'm well. I'm looking for my wife.

I believe she may have visited this practice.

Hey, look, Chris, you know, I can't talk about it.

I'm sorry. I'm not a stalker.

I just--I need to know that she's alive,

but I don't expect you to tell me where she is.

I just need to know she's okay.

If you've seen her, please tell me.

Yeah, I saw her.

Uh, about, uh, two weeks ago, hold on.

[music playing]

[Sid] Here it is.

Um...

she's in good health, okay?

And it was just a referral.

Uh, but yes, it was, uh, two weeks ago.

Sorry. I just rehearsed that moment and my wife,

someone--finding out,

it's...

-[Sid] Big relief, huh? -Yes.

It's like this huge weight has been lifted off my chest

and you don't even realize it until it's gone.

Yeah, uh, Chris, look,

you know, I can't talk about private stuff.

No, I understand.

So, she's okay? I mean, she's getting help?

She's okay.

Thanks.

[music playing]

[Alice] Hello?

Alice?

I can hear you breathing.

What? So, you're not gonna speak to me?

What would I expect, I mean,

why would you suddenly start speaking to me

when you haven't said a word for so long?

And I'll keep talking.

Are you listening?

I'm just gonna assume you don't need anything.

I'm gonna assume...

that you don't want anything, Alice.

Well...

I'm getting on with my life.

[Nina grunting]

[Martin] You seem quite fuzzy-headed there, Nina.

Ow.

Oh, uh...

When was the last time you had sex?

Pardon me?

[Martin] The latest brain imagery

in the neuroendocrine research is quite compelling.

Sexual activity improves brain function.

-Well, I can-- -[Martin] I know--I know exactly

what you are gonna say.

Masturbation.

Forget that as a solution.

The study shows that the benefit requires

having sex with another actual human being.

-Well, that's not what I-- -[Martin] No, I know.

Exactly, me and my workload

and, uh, you know, my, uh,

personal characteristics

mean that my intercourse frequency

is well below optimum level.

I'm sure yours is limited too.

I'm proposing that we have sex

with the therapeutic goal.

I mean, I don't wish you to think that this is some sort of

workplace harassment thing.

I mean, feel free to say no.

All right. Well, I am gonna say no.

-But, uh, thank you? -Well, the offer's there,

-but Nina... -Uh-hmm?

You've only got one brain.

[music playing]

[phone ringing]

-Hello? -Hey. So glad I've caught you.

I'm sorry I didn't call you earlier.

Oh, that's okay. I mean,

-you probably got so much... -Well, I'm just, um,

I'm just in a rush, but I wanted to let you know

that I found Alice and, uh, she's alive.

She's well.

Oh, okay. Oh, wow.

[Nina] You sound so happy about this.

[Chris] I'm just so happy about it because

it made me realize what I want,

-you know, and I, um... -Right.

Well, um...

[Nina] well, that's okay, I mean, uh,

I've got--I've got-- that's fine.

-I've got my own life, too. -Well, fair enough.

I mean, I didn't expect you to sound excited about it.

It's been such a...

but it's important you understand that...

All right. Well, if you--

if you can't be with me then you don't...

-No, um... -No.

He can't be with me.

-Nina? Are you there? -Uh, yeah.

I just think, um, I'd rather crawl away

-if you don't mind. -Um, can we talk later?

I just--I want you to understand that

I don't want you...

[cell phone beeping]

...in a halfhearted way.

I want--Nina?

Shit.

[Nina] Alice is alive.

He's happy.

He doesn't want me.

It's over.

Nina?

Are you all right?

[phone ringing]

I want you to give this to Billie Proudman.

As discussed earlier, this is not primary school.

I will not pass on love notes.

It's 200 bucks.

-Give it to her yourself. -I will.

But if I ever forget myself and fall for that woman again,

I want you to take

three bazillion points off me.

Uh, we can't do points about my sister.

[opens door]

[Nina] Ugh, not again.

Torch, torch.

[knocks on door]

[Mick] Your power's off out here.

Duh.

[Mick] I brought your 200 bucks.

Why don't you carve a pound of my flesh off

while you're at it?

Nina? Sorry.

I wasn't yelling at you.

Thanks.

Come in.

Can't see anything.

Why am I like this?

Is it because we grew up in a godless home?

What are you talking about?

You, me, and Nina.

Is it because, you know, we lacked moral guidance

and now we make really bad choices?

Yeah, yeah, well,

my moral compass is a bit dodgy.

I've just taken a job as a paid liar.

I just say these awful words fly out of my mouth

and hit Mick in the face.

It's like in grade three when I used to call on Brett Lupin

behind the bike shed and punch him in the ribs.

That's because he was the boy you liked the best.

Brett Lupin wore his shorts really short and tight.

[Jimmy] Ah, yes, a timeless look.

[Nina] Was it--you think you've met your soul mate

and you invest your heart, you--everything.

What if--what if you got it wrong?

You feel like an idiot.

Unlovable idiot with a mangled heart.

Oh, mangled.

Mangled, that's it.

-[Mick] Cheers? -[Nina] Cheers.

You got to enjoy the good stuff in life

even when the bad stuff's working you overhead

at the same time.

You're a wise woman, Nina.

-Cheers. -[Mick] Cheers.

We're gonna take a vow of celibacy.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

-You can't do that. -Why not?

Just make it official,

sell by choice,

more dignity that way.

Yeah. I see what you're saying,

but it would just-- it'd be a shame.

Well, it's a plan.

No. It's a shame.

You are such a beautiful woman, Nina.

Thanks, Mick.

Really.

Oh.

[romantic music]

[alarm ringing]

[Nina] What have I done?

Alarm's going off, sex alarms.

You had sex with your sister's ex alarms.

[alarms beeping]

[machine beeps, message plays]

[knocks on door]

Who is it?

[Chris] It's Chris. Your intercom's not working.

Wait. Wait, wait a second.

There were alarms going off.

The power-- the power went out.

I...

[alarm beeping]

-Hi. -[Chris] Hi.

I came because I just realized

I've always thought if Alice was alive,

it would mean-- but it doesn't matter.

In fact, knowing she's okay, it just releases me, you know.

I don't feel responsible for her anymore.

I'm free to make--

I mean...

I wanna be with you.

I wanna be with you

and if you wanna be with me.

[Nina] That's the speech I've written in my head

and then he's actually saying it.

And who--um, I mean, yes.

I, um--I do wanna-- I wanna be with you,

-but right now, I, um... -Oh.

-[Nina] I do want to. I... -Sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

[Chris] No, don't you apologize, because I just turned up,

-I didn't ask and... -[Nina] That's okay.

I mean, you're free to be involved

-with other people and-- -No.

-I'm not involved with anybody. -So, no,

just accept my apology because I'm gonna go.

No. I--Chris...

[Nina] Don't go. Please come inside

and magically don't notice that I just had sex

with my sister's ex.

-[Billie] Oh. Hi. -Hey, Billie.

[Billie] Is Nina at home?

Yeah, she's upstairs.

Are you okay?

Yeah, not really.

You?

No.

Well, see you.

[phone beeping]

[Billie] Nins?

Nins?

Sex alert.

Something sexy just happened in this flat or what?

Nins?

Oh, that's great.

Something go wrong?

There'd been a power failure.

Nins?

Nins?

Nins?

Hmm.

Well, either you're asleep or you're pretending

because you don't wanna talk.

I think I have stuffed things up with Mick, Nins.

I keep saying these vicious things I don't mean

and now he won't take my calls.

Passion doesn't mean anything

if you can't communicate, right?

All right. When we get up tomorrow,

I wanna hear blow by blow report

about what happened here tonight.
