ANNOUNCER: Previously on The Heights...

I'm surprised you vape, actually.

Wait till you hit finals.

Nicotine and No-Doz
will be your saviour.

Here she is, Mother.

(PANTS) Sorry, I missed my cue.

Do you need any help?

I can totally slow things down,
milk my speech a little.

No, I'm good.

RENEE: Why couldn't you
have slept with someone

that I never have to see again?

We had a system going.
We were co-parenting.

Why did you have to
go and put a bomb in it?

Signing this means

you won't be able to make
decisions for your community.

UNCLE MAX: Signed.

We're brothers, Curtis.

You gave up family when you left us.

You know I could have lost a finger?

So? Hands are for working
and you're not using them.

I am working.
There's no customers right now.

Your shift finishes at 7:00
and then you can study.

I have an exam, okay? I need to cram.

So? Get up early.

I can't. I've got a Duke of Ed
thing at an old-folks' home.

Some breakfast presentation.

What, you serving bacon and eggs?

No, it's a sun dial, actually.

When I'm old,
do not let me see clocks around.

Remind me that time is running out.

Well, you know what?
The time's running out for me to study.

I thought you'd want me to do well.

You're already at the top of the class.

Book.

Come on.

Here.

You can finish at 6:45.

Glad to see you've been
taking it easy since nap-gate.

Yeah, epic couch times.

Binge watching, binge eating.

Oh, to have a teenager's
metabolism again.

I finally saw Fleabag.

How good is it?!

I'm totally going to run a guinea
pig cafe when I leave school.

- Every actor needs a plan B.
- Yeah, it's my plan A.

I now recognise a career
on the stage isn't for me.

So Eliza Doolittle will be
your debut AND your swan song.

I'm not playing Eliza anymore.

Since when?

I'm going to let Miss
Bathgate know today.

You were the one who told
me to listen to my body,

take a break when I needed.

Yeah, I didn't mean quit.

I'm not quitting. I'm just going
to drop down to the ensemble.

- Are you sure about this?
- Yeah, Mother.

I've been thinking about it for a while.

You haven't talked to me about it.

Because I wanted to avoid
this exact conversation.

I just want to understand why.

I don't want to let
the cast and crew down

any more than I already have.

Sweetie, you haven't let anyone down.

It's no biggie.
I'm totally fine with my decision.

(SIGHS)

(SPEAKS GARBLED MANDARIN)

No, no.

You say it like this.

(SPEAKS MANDARIN)

(CHUCKLES) See, that's the reason

you're getting the Best
Diction Award today, okay?

Are you watching videos on my phone?

Noah's on the tablet.

I'm talking to Dad.

I've got my real-estate course tonight,

so don't forget you and your
brother are going home with Kat.

Why can't we go to
Saffron's house instead?

I haven't been there in ages.

Because her mum is busy
with work, like me.

Mum! Dad wants to talk to you.

He says it's important.

(SIGHS)

Hi.

Are you planning to go to
Noah's Mandarin awards today?

Yes.

Could you please video-call
it for me when he gets it?

Sure.

Do you promise?
'Cause it's the next best thing

- to actually being there.
- I said... I said yes, Mark.

Okay, great. Well,
I'm not on till tonight,

so I'll be waiting, alright?

Got to go. Bye.

Kids, car.

- Now.
- Bye, Dad.

(PUFFS) Wow, those Duke
of Ed breakfasts, man.

I tell you, they pull through.
Cinnamon scrolls.

Saved some for later, did ya?

Don't worry about that.

Hand to mouth coordination, Jafari.
It's not hard.

- It is when you've been up since 5:00.
- I was up at 4:00.

Well, I worked last night.

I work every night.
Fish and chip shop's open seven days.

Oh, that explains the bloodshot eyes.

You've been smashing the No-Doz, huh?

Nah, man. Got these special
stay-awake tablets.

I buy 'em online with crypto.

- Eugh, that sounds dodgy.
- They're not illegal.

Want me to hook you up?

James McGee just killed a
seagull with a stun gun!

- What?
- Here at school?

He's getting reamed
by Roberts in the quad.

What a psycho.

It was an accident. He
was mucking around.

How would you resuscitate a seagull?

Throw hot chips at it.

(ALL LAUGH)

AUNTY PAM: Watto's still
on the hunger strike.

- Just taking in liquids.
- Better not be grog.

No, just water.

I'd be worried about dehydration
underneath all that leather.

- (SIGHS)
- Oi.

I wish I were down with him.

How's about you try and
enjoy present company.

Oh, I'm just here avoiding Curtis.

Meeting with the lawyers
didn't go too well.

Why's that?

Oh, something about
the blast zone on the mine.

He's having trouble getting
a site on the exclusion list.

- What site?
- Devil's Hill.

(SIGHS) That needs protecting.

- It's a sacred site.
- Well, Curtis can't prove it.

He doesn't know the history.

We're gonna have a
yarn with the cousins.

- Well, wouldn't Max know?
- Curtis has got it under control.

But if you know the story...

It's not my place no more.

KAM: I killed that exam.

- Like a seagull?
- (BOTH LAUGH)

Yeah, I seagulled that exam.

I shouldn't laugh. Poor bird.

Jimmy was freaking out.

- I should go see how he's going.
- Yeah.

I'll catch you later.

Jafari, where's your assignment?
It wasn't in the portal this morning.

Oh, Sir, I'm so sorry.
I completely forgot.

I was so focused on my
Duke of Ed presentation...

Make sure you have it in
by 9:00AM tomorrow morning.

Yeah, yeah, of course.

But you're gonna lose 5% for lateness.

But, Sir,
it's worth 20% of my final mark.

Then you'll have to do well with it.

But I had so much
extra stuff on my plate.

No exceptions.

(SIGHS)

But you're terrific as Eliza.

Is there anything more I can be
doing to help you in the role?

Thanks, Miss, but I'd rather
just be in the ensemble.

I'll have to get the
girls to re-audition.

- You'll be hard to replace.
- Sorry, Miss.

Why the hell would you
throw away your role?

I thought you were loving it.

I was, but... I dunno,
I'm just not as into it now.

But you're my Eliza.

You know Monica's
gonna get the part now.

She smells like cabbage.

I'm still going to be in the play.

Just do what you want to do.

(CHUCKLES) Inspiration,
a new fragrance by Mich.

Bye, Rose.

I'll be your mate. Come around my place

and watch John Wick 3 with me.

You owe me after Pretty Woman.

Oh, you say that like you
were chained to the couch,

- but you loved it.
- (GROANS)

Mum's out the front.

(KNOCKING)

Got a moment?

- I'm heading out.
- To see the cousins.

- Pam told me.
- (SCOFFS) Bloody women.

I can save you the trip.

You need to get Devil's Hill
excluded from the blast zone.

But you don't know the stories.

And you do?

Grandfather told me.

And it was your job to tell ME,
to share that story.

You were too young, Curtis.

You weren't ready to hear the stories.

I don't want to hear
it now. Not from you.

So why don't you do what
you're good at and piss off?

KAREN: That is fantastic.

- NOAH: I worked really hard.
- Yeah.

- Dad helped.
- Ah! How is your dad?

Darling, I think it's time
for you to take your space.

Go on.

WOMAN: Good morning, everyone.

We're about to begin,
so please take a seat.

MAN: Thanks, everyone, for coming
to the Mandarin Club's morning tea.

The children have
worked so hard this term.

Today's about celebrating
their achievements.

- (PHONE RINGS)
- All of the students

have progressed in their speaking,

reading and writing of Mandarin.

But six in particular
deserve special mention.

- Hey, hey, is...
- These kids have worked

- incredibly hard...
- Mark...

so as we present their awards today,

each student will give
their thank you speech in Mandarin.

(SIGHS)

Jeez!

We've been here before.

Yeah, your 12th birthday.
I brought you to see Cats.

Oh, yeah! The kid-friendly musical.

I had no idea there'd
be so much gyrating.

Hey there. Claudia?

- Johnny!
- Nice to meet you.

And this is my Sabine.
Johnny is an actor

- and Sabine is an aspiring one.
- Mum, I'm...

Sabine's been cast as the
lead role in her school play.

Congratulations. What play?

- Pygmalion. But I'm not...
- She's so talented.

I bet.

And Johnny's currently
playing Macduff in...

- The Scottish Play!
- Don't say it!

There's an old superstition
that the play is cursed.

Anyone who says its
name inside the theatre

invites disaster into their life.

(SCOFFS) I'm a 40-something divorcee

who has date nights
with a block of Brie.

My life is already a...

Uh... Actually, it's pretty good.

We're just about to start rehearsal.
Do you wanna watch?

Sure.

I'll leave you to it.

I don't know what happened.

I put all the dates in my diary,

but for some reason, this one I just...

- I don't know, I forgot.
- Have you even started it?

- Nah, man.
- Dude!

I know, I'm going to
have to pull an all-nighter.

Call in sick with your after-school job.

I can't. I've already swapped that
shift because of soccer practice.

Oh, yeah. Congrats on
making interschool, by the way.

Thanks, I guess.

I just feel like there's not
enough hours in the day, you know?

That's 'cause you think you
need to sleep for eight of them.

What, you got more of those
staying-awake pills on you?

How many you need?

- Serious?
- Yeah.

I don't know, whatever.

Just hurry up, okay?

- Thanks, bro.
- Good luck with the essay.

Oh, Pam, your timing's terrible.
I'm all out of maraschino cherries.

Well, give me a fire engine then.
And a beer for this one.

Righto.

Hey, have you met Curtis?

Not officially.

I'm Hazel,

uh... Max's...

- ... better half.
- Yeah, I figured that.

Is Kylie Turner still up north?

- Clarence's daughter?
- Maybe she'd know.

Ha! Maybe you should ask your brother.

- Max would be happy to help.
- It's none of your business.

Not Max's either.

You care more about that blue
with him than you do Devil's Hill.

Max screwed our community.

Well, at least he didn't
know he was doing it.

Cool. Thanks, guys.

Thanks.

(APPLAUDS SOFTLY)

That was... wow.

I dunno. Dropped a
line there. (CHUCKLES)

Do you want to come up?

I...

Thanks.

So have you always been
interested in acting?

Yeah, but I don't think I could
ever do it professionally.

Why not? Must be talented
if you got the lead role.

Well, I decided to step down
to the ensemble.

It got too complicated.

How?

I couldn't keep up with
the rest of the cast.

Like, fatigue-wise.

Why didn't you say something?

It's alright, you don't need to do this.

Do what?

This is my mum's way of going,

"Here's a person with a disability

"who hasn't let it stop him
from achieving his dreams."

(CHUCKLES) I'm only doing
this because Sani's a mate.

Okay? If you want to act, act.
If you don't, don't.

I do, but it's hard.

(SCOFFS)

There's a big costume change
I really struggle with.

Well, tell the director
you need extra time.

Or someone else can play
Eliza and problem's solved.

That fight sequence you
just saw me rehearse?

I needed twice as many
hours with the choreographer

as the other actor.

Do you think that the
production would be better off

with an able-bodied actor in my role?

No, that's not what I'm saying.

The implication's certainly there.

In fact, everything
you're saying is kind of...

ableist.

How can I be ableist when I have CP?

It's internalised ableism.

Okay? You see your disability
as a negative,

as something that you have to
disguise in order to fit in.

Look...

I know where you're at, alright?

I've been there too.

But you're only making
life harder for yourself

if you hold on to that attitude.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

(SIGHS)

When you took off,
the community copped it hard.

A lot of our mob lost money.

We were left with a useless
big hole in the ground.

I had to fill your shoes
before I was ready.

I needed guidance.

I needed you.

You didn't just fail the community.

You failed me.

I know I wasn't there to tell
you the stories of our land...

But I'm here now...

If you're willing to listen.

We can save Devil's Hill.

(PHONE RINGS)

What happened?

I'm sorry, my phone battery died.

At 10:30 in the morning?

Yeah, Frankie ran it down
using that Bing Bang app

and then I had to make
a hundred work calls.

I asked you to do one thing.

And I just explained
why it didn't happen.

There will be other awards.

Yes, but I wanted to see
him win that one.

I'm missing out up here.

(SCOFFS) Life isn't exactly
a party for me either, Mark.

I'm working my arse off 12 hours a day.

I'm working too.

Yes, but you get to come home to the...

to the kids and the house.

You know,
you can have dinner as a family.

I'm stuck in the middle of
the desert in a tin shack.

I get it. You miss the kids.

That was always going
to be the toughest part.

Has some... someone else
taken any video of the awards?

- You know, another parent perhaps.
- I don't know, Mark.

I don't see why you're getting
so caught up on this thing.

No, no, I guess you wouldn't.

(SCOFFS)

He was kind of arrogant and annoying.

Aren't most actors?

No. He just annoyed me.

What'd he say?

He said I have internalised ableism.

What's that?

Apparently it's this thing
that people with a disability

can sometimes do,

try to hide it so people around
them don't have to deal with it.

(SIGHS) I'm not explaining it right.

- Just google it.
- On it.

(CLEARS THROAT)

(READS) "They internalise
the prejudices of society,

"see their disability as something
to be shunned and pitied."

Go on.

"This makes them despise
themselves and their bodies."

Maybe he had a point.

I dunno.

You don't like yourself?

- No, I love myself.
- There you go.

Now, where's this dumb movie at?

Dumb? You will eat your words.

I'll stick with Nutella.

(KNOCKING)

I spoke to the lawyer.

He reckons the case for Devil's
Hill is lookin' a lot better.

Wanna come in for a feed?

Oh, Pam's waiting for me.

Mm. Maybe tomorrow night.

Hitting the road first thing.

How bad is it?

The cancer?

Doing chemo.

You got any bush medicine?

Pam's gone back a few
times to get some for me.

Alright then.

- Oh, see ya.
- See ya.

Yeah, alright, bye.

CLAUDIA: Hey!

What are you dressed up for?

We are going to the fancy
Korean BBQ on the foreshore.

The last time we did that was when
Dad stood me up for the Royal Show.

Yeah. Make no mistake,
this is a guilt outing.

For springing your surprise today?

Well, I had to give it a crack,

but I accept your decision.

Now, get out of your uniform. Let's go.

- Mother?
- Mm?

Why did you tell me that
I could achieve anything?

Because you can.

You said I was like everyone else.

You are.

But I've got cerebral palsy.

So?

What's going on?

Johnny's got me
thinking about some stuff.

Oh. (CHUCKLES)

I thought he might encourage you,

not make you question
my parenting skills.

I'm not having a go,
I'm just trying to get my head around

why I've always felt like
I've had to downplay my CP.

Well, I just...

I never wanted you
to feel like you were...

disadvantaged or... or like
you couldn't achieve your dreams.

But in doing that,

I suppose the message was

being different wasn't an option.

I... I thought I had to
hide this part of myself,

pretend it didn't take a toll on me.

Darling!

Darling, your differences

are a beautiful and unique
part of who you are.

And... maybe at times I unwittingly
downplayed them, or...

or made you think that you had to.

I'm sorry.

I only ever did what
I thought was right.

I know, Mother.

I suppose it's just something
for us both to think about.

While we're eating spicy chicken
with sweet-and-sour sauce?

I'll wear my stretchy pants.

Lunchboxes in the sink, then showers.

I said in the...

... sink.

Mum, I haven't done my reader.

We can do it in bed, darling.
Go on upstairs.

TEACHER: (ON LAPTOP)
Congratulations, Noah.

(APPLAUSE)

(NOAH SPEAKS MANDARIN ON LAPTOP)

(NOAH SPEAKS MANDARIN ON LAPTOP)

DANE: Ohh!

- I blanked on that last question.
- Yeah?

I reckon I aced it.

Better yet, that was my last exam.

I've got biology this arvo. Sucked in.

Oh, I, um... I uploaded it
this morning, Sir.

I need you to follow me.

What's going on?

After McGee's stunt,
we've had to do a weapons search.

But we found something else of interest.

Is this your locker, Jafari?

Yes, it is.

Can you confirm if
this is your schoolbag?

Yes, it is.

Now reach into the side pocket
for me and take out what's there.

Are these prescription drugs?

- I don't know.
- You don't know?

Tell me, how did they end up
in your locker?

I don't know.

I'm disappointed in you.

Someone in your position

should know better than to
be dealing drugs on campus.

I wasn't even dealing them.

Then who gave them to you?

I bought them online.

(KNOCKS)

- Hi, Miss.
- Hi.

Have you asked any of the
other students to re-audition?

Not yet.

I've reconsidered.

I want to play Eliza again.

That's fantastic!

When we started rehearsals,

I told you I didn't want
to be treated differently.

And for the most part, that's true.

But I also don't want to downplay my CP.

It has been hard.

Sabine, I feel terrible.

It's my fault for not being
assertive about what I need.

Yesterday you asked me

if there's any more you can do to
help make the role easier for me.

Just name it.

I need all my costume
changes to be slowed down,

more breaks throughout rehearsals

and an intermission.

Anything for my leading lady.

Wait, so...

I'm back, baby.

Ohh! Love you.

I love you!

Kamran, I've just spoken
with your brother.

You're to take your things
and go home with him.

What about soccer
practice this afternoon?

I'll let the coach know
you won't be attending.

You're suspended from school
pending further investigation.

I really think we should
tell Uncle and Aunty now.

- We can't keep lying to 'em.
- Dude, we lie to them all the time.

Yeah, are you doing schoolwork
whilst you're suspended?

Come with me.

- Where are we going?
- You'll see.

It just feels like we're two
strangers trying to raise kids here.

Yeah.

Things are different now.

Tara invited you to the wedding!

You know she's in love with you.

Do you love her?
