VOICEOVER: Previously on The Heights...

If you could stop, you wouldn't have spent

70 grand of your family's money.

Get out.

It's your body.

What I'm saying is you have choices.

I just got him out of a fine.

You know you're gonna have everyone at the Towers

knocking on your door now.

I like helping actual people. Don't get that in corporate law.

Would it be totally insane to do this full-time?

It's a great idea.

- You haven't seen it yet, have you? - Seen what?

_

- Why? - Shouldn't have crossed me.

- You're disgusting. - I didn't know it would go this far.

Thinking about shaving it?

No. Why? It looks good, right?

Uh...

Yeah. Mm.

- Bottle of whisky, thanks. - Ooh, the hard stuff.

- For the office. - Ah.

I hear you've set up at the Community Centre.

Yep. My new business is feeling scarily real now.

- Got more clients rolling in. - That's great.

It is, but tricky to manage when it's just me doing everything.

How's your job search going?

I've applied for a few, but I haven't got anything.

I'm sure the perfect thing will come up.

Hey, how many's Benny had?

About three.

Oi. Time to knock it on the head.

I don't want you turning up to diversion tomorrow

stinking of booze.

I don't need diversion therapy.

I'm not even religious.

For the hundredth time, it's a diversion program

and it's just a meeting.

With a cop and a guy who accused me.

- What's he accused of? - Dining and dashing.

I told ya, I left the cash on the table.

Not my fault a seagull took it.

Go home.

I will see you tomorrow.

- DANE: Hey, Kam. - KAM: Hey.

- What class you got? - I've got Spec Maths.

Oh, first thing? That's a bit rough.

I know, right? Tell me about it.

This is me.

Hey, before you go, would I be able to grab Sabine's new number?

What, you don't already have it?

Wouldn't be asking if I did.

Yeah. Um... What for?

Just want to text her. Say hi.

You said she was cool with me.

Yeah, I mean, I guess she is.

It's no worries. I'll just grab it from Megan or Sarah.

No, it's... It's fine. Here, I've... I've got it.

- There you go. - Got it.

- Cheers. - Too easy, man.

Oi, Gibsy! Wait up.

- This is Kam. He's just started. - Hey, man.

Hey, if you're looking for a maths study group,

ours is meeting this arvo.

- Oh, yeah, when? - At the library, 5:30 to 8:00.

Yeah, cool. I might see you later.

- No worries. - Cheers.

What'd you invite him for?

Rude!

Planning on going to school sometime today?

I've got a free first period.

Is that Pygmalion?

No wonder World War II happened. People were so bored from the 1930s.

Come off it. I've heard you rehearsing all week. You love it!

At least there's no singing.

Who else is auditioning for the ensemble today?

Rose. Not heaps of people from my year.

Is Mich?

Wow, you are so subtle.

No.

Okay, I'm just trying to figure out how you two are getting on.

It's not weird anymore. Kind of like it never happened.

Emotional repression. My little girl's all grown up.

(PHONE BUZZES)

Whoa.

Dane just texted me.

- What does he want? - Uh... Nothing.

He's just written, "What's up?"

"What's up?" That's his opening line?

Does he seriously expect me to reply to this?

Don't waste your time questioning the logic

of that mushy-brained mumma's boy.

Delete, delete, delete.

(KIDS CHATTER AND YELL)

Nerd!

I look ugly!

You always look ugly.

Hey, enough, you two.

They look great and they're gonna help the headaches.

What more do you want?

What? Frankie, no-one's even gonna notice, okay?

Cool glasses, Frankie.

Mm.

Five minutes till the siren, kids.

What do you think the odds are that she'll wear them at all today?

Oh, about as high as Saffron keeping her insoles in.

You look fab.

Great. Means the under-eye concealer's doing its job.

- I was up until 2AM. - Couldn't sleep?

No, I was working on my pitch for the Health Department.

- I'm heading there now. - Do you have to pitch for your jobs?

Oh, yeah. Commercial fit-outs are cutthroat.

The only time I'm ever up at 2AM these days

is when one of the kids is sick.

I'm surprised I didn't make my kid sick

after all the crap I fed her last night.

Guilt treats?

Mm. And four solid hours of screen time.

I mean, I love my job, but sometimes I feel like it gets the best of me

and poor Saffie just gets the dregs.

- Take that! - (GASPS) Geez!

- Sorry about that. - (BABY CRIES)

I don't know how she does it. Three kids looks hard.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Oh!

Dude, you scared me.

Sorry, I've always wanted to do that to someone.

- Creep up on them? - Yeah, like in a horror movie.

It's called 'invasion of personal space'.

(SIGHS)

How'd you go with those, uh... inverse functions?

Eugh. You know, not my favourite.

Yeah, nah, neither.

We're working on them later in my study group. Care to join?

Oh, I've already been invited to one.

Whose?

Dane Worsfield.

Dane Worsfield invited you to join his study group?

Yep.

You, uh... know how to unlock porn on the library computers?

What? No.

- Make fake IDs? - No, dude.

You've gotta have something he wants.

Yeah, it's my amazing ability to bring up everyone's average.

How did he even get your number?

Probably Sarah or Megan?

I can't figure out why he would text you.

Obviously he's still in love with you.

Who's in love with you?

Dane sent her a message this morning.

I reckon you text him back pics of, like,

a hundred other guys' penises.

No, you should call him, tell him what a pathetic inchworm he is.

Are we seriously still talking about this?

- Sorry to bore you. - Yeah, this is a serious decision.

Or you could just ignore him.

What's the point of responding? You're just gonna cause more drama.

Well...

if we're done dissecting my private life,

Rose and I have an audition to get to.

- Cool. See ya. - Good luck!

You're meant to say, "Break a leg," idiot.

Yep!

You okay, mate? You've got to focus up.

- I'm ready. - Alright, well, stop being weird.

Get pumped.

Come on!

Have you forgotten where my office is?

I have been flat-out scheduling these appraisals.

Hence the reason why you'd be terrific as the new sales assistant.

(SIGHS)

Normally when I offer people promotions, they just say yes.

I've just... I'm still thinking about it.

What's to think about? More hours, better pay.

And it's great experience for if you ever want to be a real-estate agent.

I know, don't get me wrong,

I have been after that job since I started here.

It's just...

- The kids really... - Let their father step up.

Either way, let me know by the end of the day.

If you don't take it, I'll have to advertise.

MAX: Mark, are you all done?

Yeah.

Erika, the centre manager wanted you to do one more job if you can.

Uh...

Yeah, sure. I don't have to pick the kids up till 3:00.

Alright. Come with me and I'll show you.

I'm calling Benny now. Sorry about the office mess.

- We only just set it up. - I knew it!

Benny, where the hell are you?

We've been waiting for half an hour. Call me.

All good? What's happening?

Benny, he's a no-show for this diversion thing I set up for him.

He has no idea how badly he's stuffed up.

That cop stuck his neck out for us.

Yeah, he doesn't look too happy.

Well, he did us a major favour and Benny's made him look like an idiot.

They're not going to hang around for long.

Okay, I'm going to find Benny, fix this, kill him

and then represent myself in court for his murder.

Well, if you're going to his house, it'll be a waste of time.

- Why? Where is he? - Hm.

Ohh!

Okay, where is he?

Ah, we were wondering when you'd show up.

He was here a second ago.

I'll check the men's.

I should warn you, he's had a few.

Oh, good. Then it shouldn't hurt when I rip him limb from limb.

Look, don't take this the wrong way,

but did you really expect him to show up?

It was his one chance to avoid a conviction,

and all he had to do was say sorry, so, yes.

Yeah, but he said there was going to be a cop there,

like, he's never gonna willingly go if there's a cop.

Okay, well, that's the thing about breaking the law,

dealing with them is kind of non-negotiable.

Yeah, but Benny's traumatised

from when he was arrested a couple of years ago.

What happened?

- He freckled a cop car. - He, uh...

- What? - Freckling.

It's where you put condensed milk and hundreds and thousands

on the windscreen.

And they arrested him for that?

Yeah, and the cop beat the crap out of him in lock-up.

Broke a few ribs.

BENNY: And two fingers!

You are supposed to lock the storeroom.

Well, it's locked now.

Benny, get out of there! That's my room!

- Squatters rights! - (GROANS)

You have got to be kidding me.

(STUDENT COUGHS)

Girls like me can drag gentleman down

to make love to them easy enough.

And wish each other dead the next minute.

I want a little kindness.

I know I'm a common ignorant girl

and you a book-learned gentleman,

but I'm not dirt under your feet.

- (APPLAUSE) - Yeah, Sabine!

Hey, Phoebs, are you free to chat real quick?

If you open any of my drawers, you're a dead man.

- Can you keep it down? - I get it, Davo.

- (BANGS DOOR) - Okay, thank you, thank you.

- They're sticking around? - We've got 20 minutes.

He's not coming out.

Mate, Leonie reckons she can salvage it if you come now.

Benny, I'm sorry that I freaked you out,

but I really don't want to go to court for something we can fix now.

Benny, it's Shan.

I've got a drink for you, but only if you let me in.

Are you right?

Been better, Shan.

Yeah. That's why I thought you could use another.

You know this thing Leonie's got organised? It's not a set-up.

You just have to apologise to the owner of the restaurant.

What if I rock up there and they arrest me?

No, I promise you that's not gonna happen.

You just have to show up, tell them you're sorry,

and you're home scot-free.

For real?

Come on, who gave me my first ever ciggie?

I wouldn't lie to you.

What's she saying?

Okay, let's go.

- That's my shirt. - Shh.

- Got to look respectable. - (QUIETLY) Thank you.

Hey, Karen, were you waiting with them?

Oh, it's okay, I was just about to call Renee.

- But you didn't, did you? - No.

She... She doesn't need the stress, okay?

It happens. You know, I once forgot to pick Saffron up from kids' yoga.

- Oh. Well... - (BOTH CHUCKLE)

- Hey. - Dad! Where were you?

- Hey. - Did you forget to come get us?

Yeah, I'm... I'm sorry, guys. I got held up, alright?

Well, we will leave you to it. Come on, Saffie.

Hey, thanks again. Look, uh...

If you... If you ever need a favour, it's yours.

I'll hold you to it.

- Come on. - Dad?

- Mm. - Where's the car?

Uh... Well, you know, I thought it was such a nice day,

we should walk.

Come on, let's walk.

IRIS: You know, Watto's banned again.

I keep taking him down, put him back up.

Taking him down, put him back up again.

Down, up, down, up.

I'll see you tomorrow.

I'll be there.

Wait.

(QUIETLY) Thank you.

- KAM: So what's the play again? - SABINE: Pygmalion.

Oh, yeah, I know it.

Course you do, nerd burger.

Apparently last year at Embleton, they had real horses for Equus.

We're not going to have real horses.

Hey, Sully was in a play once as a donkey.

I had to sit through three hours

watching him wearing the donkey suit.

He had no lines.

How many lines do you have?

We don't know what parts we've got yet.

Why are you celebrating early?

You could be the donkey.

Anyway, I'm proud of you for getting in.

Still can't believe it.

I was so sure I bombed the audition.

Dane texted me this morning. It really put me off.

Oh, yeah? That's random.

Right? It just came out of nowhere.

Has he said anything to you?

Nah. It's not like we have D&Ms at recess.

Anyway, I've really got to get this done so I can go to my study group.

Fine.

- See ya. - See ya.

HAZEL: Benny would never have got in there

if you hadn't kept leaving the door open.

Not really the point of the story.

And I suppose neither of you looked to see if he'd nicked anything?

Course I did. He wore one of my shirts out of here.

Who cares about your shirt? I meant the safe.

Have to check everything myself.

I love the woman, but there's a reason I don't live with her.

Hey!

See? It wasn't a trap, eh?

Not this time.

Went better than we could've hoped for. I even negotiated him a job.

You're looking at Arcadia Heights' newest kitchen hand.

- Hey! - You're a dish pig now!

Well, until he pays back the $75 he owes them.

But who knows? They might keep him on.

UNCLE MAX: Great job. Surely that deserves a round?

Oh, yeah, cheers.

Um... Two beers on Benny's tab.

Your shout since you're gainfully employed.

Shirt. Now.

Come on. Get it off.

I don't know what you said to him, but whatever it was, it worked.

Oh, I just said everything you did.

He just needed to hear it from a normal person.

- I'm not normal? - Oh, you know what I mean.

You're a fancy lawyer. It's intimidating.

So he's not intimated by you?

(LAUGHS) Benny's known me since I was a snotty-nosed kid.

That's... That's why he trusts me.

Makes sense.

And now I know that, I might call on you for help again.

Yeah, sure. Call me anytime.

Or I...

I could come work for you.

Work for me?

Doing what?

Like... Like what I did for Benny, but for your other clients.

Or I could do whatever you want.

I can clean, I can photocopy.

I can make coffee, buy coffee.

You... You said it was hard doing everything on your own.

Shannon, look, I know you need a job for Child Protection

and I want to help you...

Is it because you helped with getting Patch back?

No, I only gave you some advice.

I'm not your solicitor, so there's no conflict.

- It's my record? - It's not that.

(BABY CRIES)

It could only be for a few days a week

and the pay is pretty terrible.

Oh, I don't care. I just need a job to show my case worker.

I really need this for Patch.

Please?

(BABY COOS)

I take a double-shot soy latte, no sugar. Got it?

Yep.

I'll see you next week.

(BOTH LAUGH)

350 bucks is a bloody rort.

No, I can't be there before closing.

What time do you open?

Okay, fine.

- What was that about? - Uh... Just work stuff.

- Where are the kids? - They're in their rooms.

Listen, I've actually... I've gotta run.

Hey, actually, um... I need a favour.

Would you mind doing school drop-off and pick-up tomorrow?

I've got a thing on.

Uh... Listen, I... I can't.

I've... I've lent the truck to Gary.

His... His... His car's on the fritz.

I'm living there rent-free. How could I say no?

How did you get the kids home today?

- Uh... Well, we walked. - You walked?

Mm, yeah. They, uh... They weren't happy about it.

I had to bribe them with video games.

- Okay. - Yeah.

- Did you feed them? - Uh... Yes, and the dishes are done.

- Hey, Mark? - What?

Your toolbox.

Okay. Thanks.

That's supposed to be below the X-axis...

... because that should be a negative value.

- Thanks, man. - It's alright.

You over it already?

I texted Sabine this morning, but I got nothing back.

I think you were wrong, dude.

Why? What did you say?

I just said, "What's up?"

Mm, maybe she thought it was for someone else.

Like I sent it to her by mistake?

Yeah, well, you guys haven't spoken in ages

and it's not like you started it with "Hey, Sabine."

You know, it wasn't specific to her, do you know what I mean?

Right.

So I should send her another text? A more personal one?

Um... I mean, I guess.

You're friends with her. What's she been up to?

I don't know, man. Like, hanging out with Rose, Amira.

She just got in the school play.

Maybe I could text her about that?

No. What's... That's weird.

She'll know we've been talking about her.

What should I say then?

Mother, get ready to live your stage-mum fantasy 'cause I got in!

I expect you to bring home reward ramen.

(PHONE CHIMES)

_

_

She's texting back.

Good job, man.

_

What? What... What'd she say?

She didn't send it.

(CHATTER ON TABLET)

(KIDS CHUCKLE)

(SIGHS)

(TRAFFIC BUZZES)

(SIGHS)

I thought you said you couldn't do the school drop-off?

(SIGHS)

Are you alright?

I'm... I'm sorry.

I... I've been lying to you.

I... I... (SIGHS)

I haven't been crashing on my mate's couch.

I've been, in the last few weeks, sleeping in the truck.

And I didn't lend it to Gary.

Yesterday it got towed.

(CHUCKLES)

Wh...

(SIGHS) Sorry.

Sorry, that's... It's not funny.

- Where'd you sleep last night? - Oh, it doesn't matter.

Mark.

Park bench.

So you've got nowhere to go?

Well, you know, Pav's got family stuff to sort out, and

I guess I've used up all my favours with everyone else.

How much to get the ute back?

$350.

Possibly more 'cause it was impounded overnight.

Okay.

Give me the number. I'll put it on the credit card.

Look, I'm... I'm so sorry, Renee. I know we can't afford this.

It's okay.

We're gonna have a little bit more money coming in soon.

I accepted a promotion at work.

- Really? - Mm.

Well, that's... That's good.

Yeah, I mean, it's going to be harder.

Longer hours, more responsibility.

So you took this just to get us out of the hole?

No, Mark. I... I enjoy my work.

I see a future in it.

And... it's what you want?

Yes.

How are you feeling?

(SIGHS)

It was quicker than I thought.

- Not good? - Mm.

No, it's pineapple flavour.

The nurses won't let me go until I finish it.

And this cracker tastes like cardboard.

Mm.

(CRUNCHES)

Eugh.

Hey, are you ready?

Come on, let's go.

- I'm not going away this time. - Pav!

How great to see you.

- Wait, what? - Remember Jill from Child Services?

I need you to take this home.

I don't want to have anything to do with it.

Noah mentioned that you and Mark were back together.

Oh. Uh...

- I'm sick of this crap. - Oi!

All this stuff with Dad. It's just messed up.

PAV: Where are you off to?
