VOICEOVER:
Previously on The Heights...

I actually had fun tonight.

You got more of those
staying-awake pills on you?

How many do you need?

You're suspended from school
pending further investigation.

I don't understand how she got to this.

It's a common concern with needle use.

- What did I do wrong?
- I'm gay.

What?

So it is cancer.

I want to start a course
of chemotherapy.

Juliana won.

You think we're going to
let her bulldoze our home

just because she won
some popularity contest?

We are going to keep
fighting until the end!

Juliana Worsfield and
her no-good government

want to sell the Towers, our home,

to the highest bidder.

Tomorrow they're holding a
community consultation meeting.

They say they want our two
cents on the new building,

but that's a load of bulldust!

Gob-shite!

It's just another box they have to tick
so they can tear the place down.

We'll tear them new A-holes!

They'll try to con us with
big words and empty promises,

but we're gonna keep
the bastards honest.

Juliana Worsfield has a forked
tongue that's only fit for lying.

And our garden of
Eden is filled with weeds!

Thanks, Watto.

There's power in numbers,
so tell all your friends and family,

your co-workers, your barista,
your hairdresser.

We need to spread the word.

I'll go down to the junior
footy club in the morning

try and rustle up some more bodies.

I'm doing the Blue Gum run.

No-one wants to see your arse cheeks.

No, blue Gum Nursing Home.
Watto's picking up the oldies.

Anyone who can't make it,

get 'em tweeting or get 'em
to go onto our Facebook page.

The ABC will be there tomorrow.

But it's up to us to make
sure that we make some noise

and ensure that our message
goes beyond that room.

If the bastards are
determined to take the Towers,

we're not going to go quietly.

RESIDENTS: No!

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

(COUGHS)

Yeah, um, thanks for coming.
Make sure you're back here tomorrow,

12 noon, for the march
on the Community Centre.

Is Max going to be okay
to march tomorrow?

Oh, this business is keeping
his mind off the big C.

- He'll be there. Yep.
- Okay.

How are you getting to the airport?

I've got a cab charge.

Ha. The perks of working for an
evil multi-national mining company.

Ah, yeah. What have you got there?

My new business cards.

Just in time for your
first home open tomorrow.

I hope that's not an omen.

I've got my work cut out for me.
It's a dog of a house.

It's been on the market for months.

(CAR BEEPS OUTSIDE)

Well, you know, if anyone can do it...

- You'll be great.
- Thanks.

Here.

I'll, uh... see you in a few weeks.

Bye.

- Hi.
- Hi.

I've spoken to your physician.

He said your bloods are looking better.

Oh, Mum brought it in.

Her attempt to make
the place more homely.

They said I might be here a while.

Yeah. At least a few weeks.

Give the antibiotics a chance to work.

(CHUCKLES) Thanks.

If I were doing park, I'd just
hang off the monkey bars all day.

You'd get like a blood
nose or something.

No, I love being upside down.

I used to have this
dream of being a gymnast.

What happened?

Realised I wasn't into chronic
camel toe and eating disorders.

Also, the chalk dust
effed with my asthma.

I didn't know you had asthma.

I've pretty much grown out of it now.

But some things still trigger it,

like powdered laundry detergent,

those gross orange toilet sprays,

flowers.

Okay, so I won't buy you any then.

If you did, I'd probably dump you.

I hate all that tacky romantic stuff.

So no big, fluffy teddy bears?

No chocolates in a big heart-shaped box?

I would smack it over your head
so the chocolates all fall out

and then I'd squish them into your
stupid face to teach you a lesson.

Stop!

Bye, loser.

Bye.

HAMID: Mr Roberts called.
From your school.

To remind us you're allowed
to return next week.

Uncle, I...

You were suspended because they
found drugs in your locker?!

Kamran, I am shocked!

What are these drugs?

They're just stay-awake pills.

They're prescription.
It was just the one time.

When?

During exams, alright?

I was stressed out.
I thought it would help me study.

It is haram to take drugs!

I know, I know. I'm sorry.

Where did you get them?

A guy from school buys them online.

So they could be from anywhere,
be made from anything.

Do you know how dangerous that is?!

Are you friends with this boy?

Yes. But it...

It's not his fault, alright?
I asked for the stuff.

- So you're protecting him?
- It's not like that.

Then tell me why you are
the one to get suspended?

(ARGUMENT CONTINUES LOUDLY THROUGH WALL)

Ever since Ryan gave
you that crash course,

you've taken like a duck
to the digital pond.

(ARGUMENT CONTINUES LOUDLY THROUGH WALL)

Facebook group has
just reached 400 friends.

Some woman named Tennille.

Captain and Tennille.

Afternoon Delight.

Don't you dare sing it.
You'll get it stuck in my head.

(ARGUMENT CONTINUES LOUDLY THROUGH WALL)

Big day tomorrow.

You should have an early one.

No way I'm staying here
with that racket going on.

Hamid was happy as earlier.

Wonder what's got his jocks in a knot.

I don't know,

but I wish they'd keep it down.

Take drugs in the first place!

And you! You knew he was suspended!

- You said nothing!
- What?

He was suspended from school!
You knew and you said nothing!

I didn't want to worry you, okay? I...

He is my responsibility.
He's under my roof.

I deserved to know. Your aunty too.

And it seems we should be worried.

What else are you keeping from us?

This has nothing to do with Ash.

Kamran, Laila, Fatema,
they look up to you.

What are you teaching them?

You lie about this,
what other lies are there, huh?

You're a bad influence.

And you will tell Mr Roberts
who gave you those drugs.

The suspension's almost over.

The teachers need to know.

Who is this boy?

You are disrespecting the school
and this family by saying nothing.

Why can't you just forget about it?

I will call the school
first thing in the morning

and arrange a meeting.

(SIGHS HEAVILY)

(SIGHS HEAVILY) It's only me.

You want a snag with brekkie?

(GROANS)

- (GROANS)
- Why aren't you ready?

I didn't get much sleep.

And whose fault is that?

Told you to get an early one.

No. Pain kept me up.

You should've called me.

Wouldn't have helped none.

Well, you can forget about
marching to the Community Centre.

I'll call Watto.
We'll go in the minibus.

(SIGHS)

I'm too crook to go at all.

But you're the Community Rep,
the mouthpiece.

(SIGHS) You're going to have
to take the reins for me.

(SCOFFS) I wouldn't know what to say.

That'd be a first.

I'm serious.

You've got all those
questions you want to ask.

I'll write 'em down for ya.

(SIGHS)

If you don't wanna...

I'll ask Pav.

I'll do it.

Thanks, love.

(DOGS BARK)

(DOGS BARK)

(FLY BUZZES)

- ROSE: That's rough.
- Yeah.

Ash copped it too.

Why?

Covering for me.

That's what big bros are supposed to do.

When's the meeting?

In a few hours.

So why are we seeing Dane?

He's been at Embleton
since kindergarten.

He can let me know the type of
punishment for selling drugs.

Are you seriously going
to dob in your mate?

I dunno.

It's the whole point of the meeting.

- DANE: Hey, man.
- Hey.

Hey, Rose.

Well, can't believe your
uncle's making you do this.

He's making you go,

but you still have a choice
on whether you say anything.

I reckon you should.

Since you've been gone,

they've done another locker
search and found nothing.

They probably think you're the dealer.

Let them. He's not.

If I did name Huang Fu,

what do you think would happen to him?

Probably just suspend him.

I mean, his stuff's not illegal.

You know my mate James McGee?

He took MDMA at school and
they only suspended him.

Look, the way I see it is
you asked for the drugs,

you were dumb enough to
get caught with them,

so why should this guy
Huang Fu suffer for that?

RENEE: Have you been looking for long?

Just transferred here from NZ.

Waiting for the family to arrive.

Got a new job in the city.

Oh, well,
Arcadia's where you want to be.

It's close to the city.

It's a stone's throw from the river.

But, hey, I'm biased. (CHUCKLES)

You local?

Yeah.

I've heard the area's a bit...
rough in parts.

Oh, I mean, it used to be.

But the suburb's changed
a lot since I moved here.

Actually the local government's
just announced some plans

to rejuvenate the area.

Trust me, now is the time to buy.

Mm.

So, as you can see,
it's a really big backyard.

I mean, it's a bit messy.

Oh!

Uh... This is private property.

You can't be doing that here.

Um... I am so, so sorry.

Nothing like that has ever,
ever happened in my backyard.

Look, this house has been
empty for a very long time.

He must have known that.

He must have known it was a quiet place.

Once someone is living here then...

Well, it won't be me.

Uh... Here, just in case
you change your mind.

Thanks anyway.

(HELICOPTER WHIRRS OVERHEAD)

Where are my good shoes?

They're not at the door?

Why would they be there?
I hardly ever wear them.

Only to special meetings.

This is not a special meeting.
It is a shameful one.

And because of it,
I can't go to the Community Centre.

Well, I'm still going.

I'll get all the information.

Your shoes are on top
of the bedroom cupboard.

No time. Kamran!

Where do you think you're going?

I thought I'd be coming.

Why don't you come to the
Towers meeting with me instead?

Okay.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Didn't expect to see you here.

- What? I'm civic-minded.
- (CHUCKLES)

Also heard there'd be free cupcakes.

Ah, yes.

Good turnout.

Yeah, Max and Helenareally came through.

Speaking of,
have you seen the old fella?

Uh... No.

The meeting's about to start.
I might go have a look for him.

You've given Juliana a serve before.

(SCOFFS) That was different.

Didn't have half so many eyes on me.

But you know everyone here.

You're not worried about what
Watto and Aunty Pam think of you?

Of course not.

But it's my job to keep 'em in line.

And I've got a bunch of
questions I have to ask for Max.

I don't want to muck
up all his hard work.

You won't. You'll be fine.

Hey, uh... seeing as
Uncle Max couldn't make it,

would you mind doing the planned
media interview afterwards?

She'd be happy to.

Great. Thank you, thank you.

I'll come find you when it's time. Yeah?

- Alright.
- Thanks.

Hey. How'd your first home open go?

I'm going to need a
wine to talk about it.

Eek. That bad?

Okay, straight to the pub
after this then.

- Yes.
- JULIANA: Hello, everyone.

If you could all find a seat,
then we can get started.

I'm Juliana Worsfield

and I'd like to thank you all
for coming down today.

I'm going to be talking about

the government's
public-housing renewal program.

- RESIDENTS: Boo!
- HAZEL: Oi! Let the lady speak.

You'll get your turn.

And, specifically, our plan to
redevelop Arcadia Heights Towers.

(DOOR OPENS)

I don't believe we've met.

I'm Kamran's uncle, Hamid Jafari.

When Kamran was suspended,
I dealt with his brother, Aarash.

Both boys live with me.

But from now on, I ask that you
contact me regarding Kamran,

not Aarash.

That we can do.

I was very upset to hear
of Kamran's actions.

As was I.

Kamran's one of our top students.

To find pills in his locker,

I now question if he's
handling the workload

but, more concerning,

that he may be supplying
pills to the other students.

I swear that I'm not.

But he knows who is.
That's why I asked for this meeting.

Kamran is very ashamed and he
wants to show you how sorry he is,

that he respects the
values of this school

and he does not abide such behaviour.

Is that right, Kamran?

So who is the boy
that gave you the pills?

We'll get you to work

and them maybe I'll make
the Towers meeting after all.

You can just drop me at
the Community Centre, Uncle.

I'll just walk from there.
It'll save you time.

You will not be walking
anywhere on your own from now.

I will drop you off at the shop
and pick you up when you are done.

(SIGHS)

JULIANA: And, lastly,
a reminder that the government

is simply considering
tenders at this stage.

That's why we wanted to
hear from the community,

because your input will
impact on the model planning.

Question time now. Um...

Put your hand up if you have one.
We have a roving mic.

(CLEARS THROAT)

In the new tower,

you say there is going to be
10% more public-housing units

- than there are now...
- Well, roughly.

But how many more private owners
are we going to end up with?

Well, it's in the ballpark of, uh...

80% private dwellings to 20% public.

But those figures will be
confirmed at contracting stage.

You're just pulling those
out of a bingo barrel,

making us feel like we're going
to get a better deal than we are.

No, not at all. No, it... (SIGHS)

It's not our intention to
deceive residents. Please.

Now, my party has been very clear

that we believe that
this move to mixed living

is a good thing for Arcadia.

We're getting the brown end
of the stick and you know it.

Yeah, exactly!

More private owners will
increase the median income.

IRIS: When people earn more,
they spend more.

It's good for small businesses.

Exactly, exactly. Thank you, Iris,
but, please, no more statements.

Let's keep to questions.

If you demolish the towers,
what happens to us while you rebuild?

Well, everyone will be
relocated to temporary housing.

Yeah, can you guarantee
we'll all be coming back?

Do you plan to reduce the
number of two-bedroom units?

Did you know that
there are 22,000 people

on the public-housing waitlist,

many of whom require
one-bedroom dwellings?

That doesn't answer my question.

Well, yes... in all likelihood,

there will be more one-bedroom
apartments in the new development.

- A lot of...
- (MICROPHONE FEEDBACK)

A lot of families are cramped
into two-bedroom apartments,

do you expect them to
downsize to one-bedders?

No, not at all.
No, we recognise that many families

have been living in
unsatisfactory accommodation.

That's why we're planning to
relocate them to better suburbs

like Bedford Hills...

- and Lakeview.
- (RESIDENTS EXCLAIM)

- So we're not all coming back!
- Arcadia is home, okay?

My... My cousins,
they go to school here.

My aunty, she works at Arcadia Hospital.

My family, they go to the local mosque.

What are you saying?

His brother works at
my shop. You know Kam.

How can he do that if
he moves to Lakeview?

We... We came to Australia
from Iran, okay?

We worked hard,
my whole family, everyone.

They've made lives here.

Now you're saying we have
to go start from zero,

in a new suburb over an hour away?

(ON PHONE) Please, please,
just let reiterate

that we are simply in
the consultation phase.

Plans for the new building
can and will change.

- (PHONE CHIMES)
- (UNCLE MAX SIGHS)

(GROANS)

(SIGHS)

(GROANS)

What we're doing is
creating a blended suburb

with mixed socioeconomic backgrounds.

Bulldust! You're doing the
old salt-and-pepper trick,

moving in all the rich, white fellas

and pepper it with the odd black fella.

RENEE: Uh... As a
homeowner and a mother,

I actually see a lot of benefit
to the suburb's renewal.

I'm dealing with regular
theft from my yard,

blatant drug deals happening
outside of my children's school.

- Well, that's a concern.
- Yeah, I'm a real-estate agent

and just this morning I held a home open

and there was a man shooting up
right in the backyard.

It's not safe.

People are taking drugs on the street

because there's no safe space
in the suburb for them to do it.

What are you suggesting?

I don't know, um...

Somewhere like a safe injecting room.

If the government's truly
invested in the people of Arcadia,

you might want to consider
starting with that.

We're getting off-topic, ladies.

That will only draw more
junkies into the area.

Buying and taking drugs is illegal.

See, that's the problem right there,

people thinking about
addiction as a crime

when it's really a health issue.

The last thing that Arcadia
needs is a shooting gallery.

Oh, that's an ignorant
and small-minded attitude.

Are you calling me small-minded?

We're supposed to be
talking about the Towers.

I didn't mean you are.

Maybe the new towers could
have an injecting room.

- (RESIDENTS EXCLAIM)
- No bloody way!

(CACOPHONY)

Hey.

Roberts called my dad.
They think I'm dealing drugs.

It's just weird timing

'cause I've been doing
my thing all of last year and...

- and suddenly you get...
- I gave them your name.

Is this some kind of a deal
to get back to school sooner?

No, there was no deal.

So you ratted me out for no reason?

Look, my uncle made me do it.

Okay, I'm sorry.
You don't understand what he's like.

I only got suspended for a week.

Right? You'll probably get the same.

They actually found it in my locker.

Okay? They've got nothing
on you. No proof.

It doesn't matter. You
have a clean record.

- So do you.
- No, dickhead.

I've two strikes to my name.

One for not wearing a blazer,
one for vaping on school grounds.

This will make it three.

I'll be expelled.

Well, that could have gone worse.

(CHUCKLES)

- Alright. See ya.
- Bye, Iris.

Yeah, bye.

After that, I bet we all feel
like jumping off a bridge.

But a wine might do the trick.

I'll drive so you ladies can have a few.

- I've got to...
- I'd better not...

You should go.

Oh, no, um... I was about to
say I'm on-call, so I can't drink.

Well, come for a softie then.

I've got to get Frankie
ready for a sleepover, so...

You're turning down wine to
pack your child's overnight bag?

She's got nothing to wear.

I've got a mountain of washing
to do before I drop her off.

Another time then.

Mm-hm.

Thank goodness you came, Ash.

He spoke well.

Helena!

Hey!

You know the Towers are lucky to
have you working so hard for us.

Not for much longer, I'm afraid.

I've taken a job in Canberra.

Oh, your poor mother will miss you!

But she'll love being able to say,

"My daughter,
policy advisor on community affairs."

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

- Take care.
- Thanks.

- When do you leave?
- Next week.

Do you want to maybe go for a coffee?

Yeah, I'm not sure that's a good idea.

Yeah.

Good luck with it all.

All the blokes in there are packing up.

Yeah, you're off the hook.

The media, they decided
they've got enough coverage.

It wasn't all bad.
J-Dubs made some good points.

Course you'd think that.

You own your apartment,
so you'll cash in.

Not to mention all the new
customers you'll get for your cafe.

You'll be making a
motza out of our misery.

Hazel, you own a pub,
you trade in misery.

One pint of misery, please.

(CHUCKLES)

Seen this?

_

I'm sorry, love.

So Dane was full of it.

There's no way that he could have known

Huang Fu had those
marks against his name.

Neither of us did.

He might not get expelled.

Dane's mate didn't get expelled.

Dane and all his dumb
mates have rich parents.

Different rules apply for
guys like you and Huang Fu.

Either way, I couldn't let
Roberts think that I was dealing.

Does his opinion really
matter that much to you?

Yes, it does.

This is my reputation,
okay? My school record.

It's all going to matter when
it comes to getting into uni.

Does Embleton do some kind of
creepy brain reprogramming thing?

'Cause I thought we already
had this conversation.

What are you talking about?

What you do in high school

has no bearing over how happy or
successful you're going to be.

Rea... Okay, well, then with that logic,

why are you worried about Huang Fu?

He should be fine, right?

You're a pussy.

You're just too afraid of being
in the bad books with your uncle.

I did it so he'd lay off Ash.

Ash can handle himself.

You know what?
You just don't get it, do you?

You never will.

Rose.

I'm sick of you and your issues.

I thought I was going to
get more of a lecture.

If you want to be a bloody idiot,
who am I to stop you?

Wait, did you get my texts?

- My phone's broken.
- Really?

No, I'm ignoring you.

- Are you excited to see her?
- I am so excited.

- Thanks for coming.
- Wouldn't miss it.

What are you guys talking about?

Oh, it's just this thing
from high school.

I know you guys slept together.

Oh.

What are you doing here?
