[baby crying]

[dramatic music playing]

[Ted] It was only
when I saw the body

being wheeled out
that it hit me.

The full impact of it all.

And I wasn't
too proud of myself.

Who'd have thought
so much could change

in just a few short days?

[Chel] Weren't you reading
the subtitles?

I didn't need subtitles.

I could see
what they were doing.

[Chel] Yeah, well,
that's French films for you.

Yeah, but seriously,

does it always have
to be about sex?

Well, sex, death, food.

Yeah. Mind you
the countryside was very nice.

Yeah, when they weren't
having sex all over it.

I didn't know
you were such a prude.

Ah, a time and a place, Chel.

That's all I'm saying.

Time and a place.

-Hey, get back here!
-[Hayley] There she is!

Where do you think
you're going?

[Hayley] Grab her!

Oi!

[Hayley]
I bet you like it so much.

You girls! What are you doing?

-[Jude] Stop!
-Go near Tommo again,

you're dead! Get it!

He's my boyfriend, you slut!

I don't want
anything to do with him!

[Hayley]
Get your own boyfriend!

That's it! Leave her alone!

I said, leave her alone!

-Piss off, Granddad!
-What did you say?

Oh, Ted, no leave, no leave it.

-Tragic emo!
-That's it.

-No, no, Ted, leave it.
-That's it.

I'm calling the cops.

-Leave it, leave it.
-Give me that.

No, don't! Don't!

[Chel] Ow!

[Jude] Get away from me!

[Hayley] Hey! Get back here!

Where do you think
you're going?

Are you hurt?

The mirror got me.

-Oh, come on, love. Come on.
-[grunts]

You big Sir Galahad.

No, it was just
the way I was brought up.

You are hurt.

No, honestly, Ted, I'll be okay.

We're going to the hospital.

No argument.

[dramatic music playing]

[sighs]

Mmm. Where have you been?

Checking up what time
I come in, eh?

Yes, and you're late.

Might have to ground you
for a month. [chuckles]

I've just come
from the hospital.

Chel and I got roughed up
by some young people.

What?

Look, she's...

She's got dialysis on tomorrow

and they just kept her
in overnight

-for observation.
-Dave?

Look, it's under control.

They got her into renal.

Are you all right? Dave!

Um, Dad and Chel got
attacked by a gang.

Chel's in hospital.

In hospital? How serious?

Well, she got pushed
against the car

and, ah, with her kidneys,

I just thought it better
to have her checked over.

Well, you should've
called me. I...

-Well, I would've come over.
-What... What's going on?

[Ted]
She didn't want any fuss.

She said she'd see us all
in the morning.

-What's up?
-I don't know.

I think it's something
to do with Chel.

Did you call the police, Dad?

Yeah, they came
to the hospital.

For all the good
it will do us.

Is Chel okay?

Well, as far as I know.

And what about the blokes
that attacked you?

They weren't blokes,
they were girls.

[sighs] I'm going to bed.

[knocks]

Yeah?

Hey.

Are you okay?

-Mmm.
-Oh, Dad.

I'm so sorry.

It's a horrible thing.

I'm fine.

It's what the world's come
to that I worry about.

They were attacking
this young girl

and they just...

turned on us
like a pack of dogs.

Well, I suppose there are
always girls like that.

Well, if there was,
I never met them.

Hey...

They broke the glass
of the watch

you and your mom gave me.

I guess...

watches can be replaced.

Unlike people.

To those girls,
I was a stupid old man.

Invisible.

Irrelevant.

Meanwhile next door,
Melissa was feeling sidelined

in a different way.

Oh... Oh, come on.

[sighs]

Have you been using
my toothbrush?

-No.
-Well, someone has.

It's wet.

Maybe somebody used it
accidentally.

Eww.

Is that so gross?

If it's Carbo, yes!

[upbeat music playing]

Neat freak Nathan.

-Yes.
-What if it was me?

-Was it?
-No.

Look, whoever used it
probably washed it afterwards.

What's the big deal?

I might not be the tidiest
person in the world,

but the last thing I feel like
coming home to

is stepping in a carton
of half-eaten takeaway--

Oh, sorry.
We meant to clean it up.

And then my husband
doesn't even seem to care

if someone's been
spreading germs

all over my toothbrush.

All right, all right,
all right, okay.

Let's say it was me
who used it.

My germs are your germs.

See?

-Was it you?
-Absolutely.

-You're lying.
-Yes, I am.

Look, it's just a toothbrush.
This is a share house.

These things are bound
to happen.

Exactly!

We already have to share
everything else in this place.

That toothbrush is mine.

Oh, and by the way,
someone on the ward tonight

had mad cow disease.

Are you happy to share
those germs, too?

[door slams]

[Rachel] There were
girl gangs at school

you steered clear of.
You know, they'd turn

the toilet blocks
into their own

private club room,
but it wasn't so much them,

it was more the mean girls
like Tarsha McNeil

-that really got to me.
-Mmm.

God, I remember the trauma
of mufti day.

The whole

"Those shoes are
so last week."

It didn't matter what I wore,

I always got the look up
and down of disgust.

Well, you should've
just formed a gang

-and bashed her up.
-Yeah...

'cause I look like
the violent type, don't I?

Well, you and Tanya

got pretty into it
at the footy that time--

No, we did not. She wanted to.

Yeah, my girlfriend
the scrapper.

Yeah, bring it on. I'll go
another 15 rounds with her.

Chel ended up in the hospital
because of those girls.

It's no joking matter.

Granddad, I didn't know
you were there.

We were talking
about something else.

-We were just joking.
-Yeah, we weren't laughing

about what happened
to Chel, mate.

Well, it sure sounded like it.

No, honestly,
it wasn't like that.

How do you think I feel?

When I was your age, I could...
I could handle myself.

Now that a bloke's
getting on a bit,

where's the respect?

Ted, I'm off to the hospital.

-Are you coming?
-Absolutely.

The least I can do
is visit her.

Granddad, I...

-[Ted] Morning, Chel.
-Hello, boys.

We've got all
the essentials, mate.

Plus...

-a murder mystery.
-Thank you.

Shall we get you anything
else from the shop?

No. The volunteers,
they're very sweet.

So, how are you?

Oh, I'm fine.

Gave us a bit of a scare
last night.

Yeah. I'm fine, Dave.

Good.

So, when can we get you home?

Well, they ran some
kidney function tests.

They're upping me
to three sessions

of dialysis a week, so...

-Three?
-Because of last night?

Oh, well, falling
against a mirror

could've had something
to do with it.

Oh, that's it.
I'm going to the coppers.

I'm going to put
a rocket under them.

They've got to do
something about this!

No, Ted, Ted,
it's sort of speeding up

something that
would've happened anyway.

Is that what
the doctor said?

But they're going to put
a permanent shunt in,

-so that's a good thing.
-What's that?

Well, it's a little...
like a plastic vein,

just goes under the skin
so there's no more bruising.

I can tattoo it
"X marks the spot."

Can I get you anything else?
Some, ah, more tea?

Hot chocolate? More toast?

Cold Singapore noodles.

I said I was sorry
about the mess.

Did you drink all the...

I'll get some more
from next door.

Are you sure you don't want
anything else?

All I want is to eat
and sleep.

[phone ringing]

-Do you want me to get that?
-Yeah.

It's, ah... It's Sammy.

Ah, I'll have to call her back
when Nathan's not here.

[Nathan] Nathan is here.
Anything I can do?

Ah, just the man
I want to speak to.

-Sounds ominous.
-Someone's been using

my toothbrush, is it you?

Are you kidding? No.
That's... that's gross.

I only share airspace
with people

because it's antisocial
not to.

So unless you're lying...

And we all know I'm not.

That only leaves one suspect.

Ooh.

Carbo,
have you been using my...

[dramatic music playing]

Oh, my...

You like it?

My secret admirer sent it.

Cute, eh?
But hot at the same time.

And these women...

They're my secret admirers.

-Jennifer Hawkins?
-Ah, could be.

Why not?

-Let me see that toothbrush.
-Why?

Show me that toothbrush now.

Ew! Okay, here's the reason

why Hawko won't be queuing up
to be your secret admirer.

That's my toothbrush
in your mouth.

Yeah, but it's a toothbrush.

It's meant to go
in people's mouths.

In the owners' mouths!

[Nathan] What's going on?

Well, don't worry,
I rinse them.

Always.

Always?

What, you've done this before?

Oh, well, I don't get
the problem.

Then you have a problem.

[Nathan]
That's really bad form, Carbo.

Well, do you want it? Here.

-Oh.
-[Nathan] Oh, no, no, look.

Carbo will get you a new one.
Won't you?

-Do I have to?
-Yes.

Look, that's
problem solved, Mel.

Why don't you go
and get some sleep?

It sounds like you
had a tough shift.

Yeah, it was. Thanks.

Don't touch my things again.

[groans]

Nah, he's all right.

It's just they broke
the glass on the watch

that Nan gave him.

God, poor guy.

He should've
just steered clear.

What, you really think
Dad'd stand by

while a young girl
was being attacked?

Well, that's what the police
say, stay out of it.

What, what about victims
of bullying?

Mom, you don't know what girls
are like these days.

They can be feral.

We get them at the Club
all the time.

They get messy,
throw punches, glasses

-and we've got security.
-[Julie] Yeah.

Oh, hey. Just heard.

-How's Chel?
-Bloody awful.

[Dave] Yeah,
there's some kidney damage

and they've upped
her dialysis sessions

to three times a week.

And I just let it happen.

Dad, no one's thinking that.

Well, I am.

Granddad. Granddad, wait.

Look, I know where
you're coming from on this.

Just leave it, Ben.

After I was attacked
at the Boat Club,

I felt like it was my fault.

That if I'd been a real man,
it wouldn't have happened.

You see the world differently

and everyone's
a potential danger,

but it's not true.

Well, maybe not for you, Ben.

But when you walk down
the street, odds are

no one will touch you.

When I walk down the street,

I'm an easy target.

[slams]

[Ted] I was living in a world

I no longer had much
faith in.

The problem was,

how to get that faith back.

At home, I was safe.

But at my age it's too easy

to reduce your life
to four walls.

[Julie] Hey, um, do you
want to go to the shops?

-Ah, sure, sounds good.
-Great.

Oh, Dad?

Um, you sure you're okay?

-I'm going for a walk.
-Oh.

And being broad daylight,
there's a fair chance

I might make it back alive.

I'm, ah...
I'm worried about Dad.

He'll be all right.

Says the man stripping
the bed I changed yesterday.

Look, I've been telling myself
that Chel's gonna be okay,

but they're upping
the number of sessions,

they're putting a shunt
in her arm...

She's not okay.

Look, people can survive
for years like that.

Well, I've read
the statistics.

With HIV, she'll be at the
bottom of the list for a kidney.

She needs a volunteer donor.

Dave, you've got a
three-month-old daughter.

And a mother
I don't want to lose.

Not after I've just found her.

Remember the last time
you offered?

Yeah, well, things have
changed since then.

We've got to know each other,
trust each other, talk,

I mean, we can at least
talk about it.

Yeah, well, you know,
she made you promise

not to test.

Jules, she's my mother

and she's going to die
without a new kidney.

You know, what sort of son
am I if I don't even try?

Just be careful how you
bring it up, that's all.

Yep.

[Jake] Okay,
so here is Pyrmont.

Yep, where I work,
where all the action is.

Right. And here
is Carss Park, my work.

[Rachel]
Where the action isn't.

So where we should probably
start our search

is somewhere around here
in between the two.

Yeah, yeah, that...

-That's all right, for a start.
-Oh, that's fair.

Yeah, and then when
we figure out that

that's miles away
from anywhere

we actually want to be,
we can focus it

more around here. Yeah?

Ah, so, ready to go
to the shops, Rach?

Yeah, I'll just grab my jacket.

Righto.

Sorry to interrupt
the flat hunting.

Oh, no, no, no, that's fine.

I promised Dave I'd watch
the AFL with him.

He reckons he's going to try
and convert me.

Right. Hey, listen, no pressure,

but it'd be great
to finally meet your mom

before you and Rach
do move out.

That'd be great.

Okay, well, we could do it here.

-Nothing huge.
-Okay.

I was going to save
the meet and greet barbecue

for, ah, when we moved
into our new place, but--

-Oh.
-I don't see it happening

-any time soon so--
-Well, um,

what about next weekend?

[Rachel] What's happening
next weekend?

Drinks with Jake's mom.
About time, don't you think?

Yeah, that's good.

That's a great, great idea.

It's not even
remotely terrifying.

I'll tell you what?
I'll even wear a bra

and do my hair.
A special occasion. [laughs]

Remind me never to leave you
alone with my mom again.

It'll be fine.

Just let us know
when so we can start planning.

Planning what?

The nearly empty nest
celebrations.

Oh, cracking out
the champagne.

-Yeah.
-Ripping your clothes off...

-Yeah.
-...running around the house.

She's a funny mommy,
isn't she, Ruby?

-Hilarious.
-Isn't your mommy funny?

[woman]
Oh, that's lovely to see.

Gorgeous baby.

A girl, I take it?

-Yeah, Ruby.
-She looks so much like you.

-Oh.
-Ah, well, she--

-You'll love it.
-Sorry?

Being a nana.

All the joy
and none of the tears

and when there are,
you just give them back.

Congratulations,
she's beautiful.

Thank you.

Yeah, no. I'm not...

I... Oh, no,
really don't mind me,

I'm just the proud nana!

-Sorry, Mom.
-Yeah, yeah. Suddenly...

-Do you want to push her?
-I know how Dad feels.

-Avoid any further confusion.
-Very funny.

Ha-ha. Nana...

Carbo, you've got mail.

What? It can't be.
It's a weekend.

It must be important, then.

[Rachel] Nana...

Hand delivered.

Check this out!

Brave choice.

I wouldn't recommend it, mate.
Not without waxing.

It was in the mailbox
addressed to me.

Coincidence or what?

Is it even going to fit you?

-They're not meant to, freak.
-That's a relief.

Hey, ah,
I think it's a message.

Some chick wants my body.

Oh, no,
now you're just delusional.

Nobody wants your body, Carbo.

Benno, you've heard
of Greek gods, right?

Now face the facts,
Anglo losers,

we Greeks invented sex.

Yeah, but we're the ones who
invented doing it with women.

[laughter]

That is a good one.

-Touche.
-[Melissa] What am I?

-Invisible? Keep it down!
-Oh...

I've just come off night shift.
I'm trying to sleep.

Hey, Mel, check it out.

My secret admirer
sent me a message.

Well, here's one from me,

it's bad enough you've been
using my toothbrush,

now I have to listen
to this sexist rubbish.

Can we please
just start respecting

a few boundaries here?

So it is you who's been
using her toothbrush.

So? It's like cups and plates.

No, it... How is it like
cups and plates?

Everyone uses them
and then you wash them.

What's the problem?

So you just grab
whatever one's there?

-Well, doesn't everybody?
-Oh, my...

What's the quickest way
to sterilize your mouth?

Alcohol.
Lots and lots of alcohol.

Hey.

Look, I'm really sorry
about that just now, Mel.

It's okay.

Is something bothering you?

Other than toothbrushes

and Carbo's caveman
tendencies?

I'm just tired.

Are you sure?

Is it having me here?

What? Nathan, no.

No, no, wait, it's a...
It's a group dynamic thing.

I mean, first it was just
you, Carbo and Ben,

and that's three connections.

Add a fourth person,
that's six connections

and then things are suddenly
twice as complex.

Where do you get this stuff?

I don't know.

Sometimes I worry myself.

But I'm right, aren't I?

It's a pretty
male-dominated house.

No, I don't want you
to move out.

Really?

Oh, good
'cause I like it here.

-Oh.
-A lot.

-Good.
-Um, okay, well, how about

I make things easier for you?

I could sedate Ben
and get Carbo to move out?

Um, how about you all just

pick up your takeaway
containers

when you're done with them?

And keep the noise down.

You're on.

-Hey, Nathan.
-Yeah?

[Melissa] Thanks.

It's fine. Have a good sleep.

Goodesy. Goodesy.

Goodesy. Number 37--

Has Mrs. Luscombe
gone away for a while?

Oh, I wouldn't know.

You know this is
a pooncy game, right?

But if she... if she has,

she hasn't been
picking up the paper.

[Jake] Do you see
if he'd had tackled him,

he'd have the ball by now.

-Yeah, but it's not the point.
-Am I invisible here?

Oh, sorry, Ted.

I might as well be
talking to the fridge.

Now, Mom, are you sure
you're gonna be able

to handle all that
on your own?

Because as a woman moves
into the autumn of her life--

She loses her sense of humor
and for that you can unpack.

-[Jake] Oh, there we go.
-Thank you. Hey, Dad.

No, a break out here.

Mrs. Luscombe hasn't been
picking up her papers.

Do you think
she's gone away?

No, she never goes away.

-Dave?
-So no one gets it.

This is the basketball
element.

The scrimmages. You know,
up, up they go. Handballs.

Hello? Hello?

When was the last time
Mrs. Luscombe went away?

Never. Now excuse us, please?

We're... Hello? We're just
going to pop next door okay?

All right.
Okay, come on, boys.

Now's your chance.

[dramatic music playing]

[knocks on door]

Mrs. Luscombe?

It's Julie Rafter
from next door.

[doorbell ringing]

[Ted] Do you think
she finally went on a holiday?

No. We've barely seen her
leave the house in ten years.

[Ted] Mrs. Luscombe?

[doorbell dings]

[gasps] Dad!

Oh, no.

She died the way
we all fear most...

alone.

Excuse me.

We'd like to confirm
the householder's name, please?

-[Julie] Um...
-Luscombe.

First name?

Mrs. Luscombe.

Well, do you know her next
of kin? Someone we can contact?

No, sorry.

Thanks for your help.

Hey, mate.

How long's
she been laying there?

I can't confirm until
the coroner's done an autopsy,

but it looks like a few days.

A few days?

She's lived here all this time

and we hardly
even know her name.

How could we let this happen?

She'd lain there
for three days

and no one even knew.

Now, I was really angry.

I feel terrible

because I made a connection
with the woman

and never bothered
to keep it up.

Yeah, what could you
have done?

Gone over every day

and said, "Hello, Mrs. Luscombe,
are you still with us?"

You know what I mean.

I don't know that I do.

Well, a simple "G'day.
I'm going down the shops,

can I get anything
for you?"

She was a neighbor
who never said boo.

You could've checked her
every now and then,

but she wasn't
your responsibility.

Wasn't she?

I was probably the last person
she ever spoke to.

She had no family, no friends.

She died
and no one even noticed.

Now, isn't that everyone's
worst nightmare?

I always assumed
I'd die like that,

before I met everybody.
[laughs]

She...

She's only had
her first death.

You mean there's more?

I heard somewhere...
I read somewhere

that we all have
three deaths.

The first one is
when you breathe your last,

the second one is when
your body turns to dust

and the third...

third one is when you...

your name is spoken
for the last time.

And how's that supposed
to help Mrs. Luscombe?

Well, I'm offering the advice,
not the solution.

[Dave]
Sorry that took a while.

There was a queue.

Did I miss anything?

Just a short course
in philosophy.

She's a wise woman,
your mom.

[indistinct chatter on TV]

Do you two really want
to watch that?

-Yes.
-No, you choose.

-Benno.
-Shut up.

You watch whatever
you wanna watch.

Thank you.

[Nathan] Ah, great!
You're all here.

I would like to call
a house meeting, please.

-House meeting?
-Yes.

First order of business,

-new toothbrushes.
-Whoo-hoo!

-Yay!
-A purple one for you, Mel.

A blue one for you, Ben.

And I've got an orange one.

Also I got this
from Dad's office.

[gasps] Check it out!
We can make labels. Awesome.

-Ah, Natho?
-[Nathan] Yes, Carb?

Don't I get one?

You get the four old ones
out of the bathroom.

Yeah, but you guys
have used them.

Well, that's never
worried you before.

Look, it's printing "Benno."

Um, guys, also I don't know
if you heard about

Mrs. Luscombe or not?

What the old witch that
never gave our balls back?

Yeah, what happened?
She finally cark it?

Melt leaving nothing
but her shoes?

[Melissa] No.

Actually, yeah, the dead part.

Ah, Mom and Granddad
found her.

-Dead?
-[Nathan] Yeah.

-Seriously?
-Yeah.

Oh, God, that's terrible.

Apparently, she'd been there
for a few days.

Oh, God, that poor woman.

I know. It makes you think
about what's important, right?

Yes.

Poor Mrs. Luscombe.

I mean, when we were kids,
she was so scary.

Yeah, but no one should have
to die alone like that.

I never saw anyone visit her.

Not for years.

Maybe she liked it that way.

She was "Mrs." Luscombe, right?

There must've been a Mr.

There must've.

-But either he left or--
-He died, too.

And then nothing, no one.

I wouldn't want to live
without you, Mel.

So I reckon...

if we have to die,
I should die first.

What? How's that fair,
and then I'm left alone?

Well, yeah, right.

Okay, so we die together,

but, like, in 80 years' time,

or in 80 years' time
and two days,

like, I go first and then
you can't live without me,

so then two days later,
you die.

Actually, can we not have
this conversation?

Sorry.

I love you.

Forever.

[dramatic music playing]

-Hey. You.
-Leave me alone.

I need to talk to you
about what happened

the other night
with those girls.

I don't need to talk to you.

Hey, hey,
just drop the attitude.

My friend ended up in hospital

-because of what happened.
-How's that my fault?

Well, you can explain that
to the police.

-They're looking for you.
-I didn't touch

your girlfriend, that was them.

-Like, I'm the one they hate.
-Why?

Because I'm an emo
and because Hayley said

I was cracking
onto her boyfriend.

Hayley's the ringleader.
Now what's her last name?

-No, forget it.
-Hey.

Hey, you're helping me
with this.

-No.
-Whether you like it or not.

-No, leave me alone.
-We're going to the police!

-No way! Let me--
-You're going to the cops.

Whether I have to drag you
there myself!

Let me go!

Oh, I lost it, Julie.

I really scared that poor kid.

-Oh.
-I scared myself.

Oh, Dad.

It wasn't her fault
Chel got hurt.

It was those
other bloody girls.

What's the world coming to?

She said that that gang
was after her

because she was an emu.

An e... Oh, no.

No, ah, Dad, I think you...

You'll find that she said
she was a... an emo.

-Emo?
-Mmm.

What's an emo
when it's at home?

Well, according to Rachel,
it's short for "emotional."

They wear black
and like sad music.

I thought they were goths.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry
about it, Dad.

By the time we've caught up,
they would've moved on.

I just get so angry
about it all.

Chel, Mrs. Luscombe
and God knows what I'd do

if I ever saw that gang again.

[Julie] Yeah, well,
then stop bottling it up.

Go and do something
positive with it.

-Like what?
-You're a smart man.

I'm sure you'll think
of something.

[sirens wailing]

Does it hurt?

Well, I can feel it.

It's better
than the alternative.

-[chuckles]
-Yeah, well,

what if there was
an alternative?

I know I promised I'd never
bring this up again--

-Then don't, Dave--
-But please,

just hear me out, please.

Look, we both know
that dialysis

three times a week's
not a good sign.

And you're not going to be
at the top of a donor's list.

Well, you can see the point.
A transplant isn't going

-to help the HIV.
-Yeah, but it might

buy you more time.

You know you'll be able
to see Ruby grow up.

I think that's manipulative.

Look, you're my mother.

And I love you.

We all love you.

No one's going to think
badly if you say yes.

Saying no would be
the bad thing.

You know, we all want you
in our lives, just...

just let me see
if I'm compatible,

just to see if it's an option.

I can't think about this now.

Can we go?

Ah, yeah, but, um,
only if you promise

not to run away again?

I promise.

Ted.

Are you getting any?

Not as much as you are,
Frank, I'd reckon.

I keep telling you you've
got to be in it to win it.

I mean, you might get
a lot of knockbacks, but--

Yeah, yeah,
thanks for the advice.

Anytime.

So, you got a lady in mind?

Ah, a lady on my mind.

A neighbor of ours,
Mrs. Luscombe.

Yeah? A good sort, is she?

She died, Frank.

-Oh.
-[Ted] And I don't want her

disappearing just like her...
her whole life never existed.

I want her to be remembered.

There must be a lot of people
like that in Friend Finders.

-Living on their own--
-Yeah, well, me included.

Footloose, fancy free.

But what if we had a system

where everyone
who lived alone had a mate

who'd ring them every day

just to check
that they're okay?

Oh, hey, I can see
definite possibilities there.

Now, I'll look
after the ladies--

-Frank--
-Ah, fair go.

I mean, you know
young girls these days

won't give a bloke
the time of day,

but, ooh, there's many
a good tune

to be played on an old fiddle.

[chuckles]

No, I'm serious, Ted.

Yeah, it is a good idea.

It does you credit.

[Ted] The Mrs. Luscombe
Memorial Phone Tree.

Now, now say I call Frank

who calls Lillian,
who calls John,

and so on, so everyone
makes one call

-and everyone gets one.
-Ah, that's a great idea.

So you call every day?

Yes, for a bit of a chat
to make sure

everything's hunky dory.

And do you reckon
Friend Finders

will go along with this?

When Ted Taylor's got
his dandy up,

resistance is futile.

I mean, we could even sign up

every senior
who comes in here.

Yeah, yeah, we could.

Strewth, he's as fit
as a Mallee bull.

[Ben] Oh, that's Mick,
security.

Bouncer?

Ah, we call them
door security.

Could've used him
the other night.

It looks like
he can handle himself.

[Ben] Yeah, he's got
a black belt in something.

Oh, I might just have
a word with him.

I'd made sure
that Mrs. Luscombe

would never suffer
her third death.

And for me, it was time
to take back

my place in the world.

Make a difference.

[phone ringing]

Mel, your phone.

Mel?

[Melissa] Coming!

Ah, bugger.

[sighs]

That was Sammy.

Yes, it was.

What, you've been
keeping in touch?

Sort of.

Off and on.

I'm sorry.
I wanted to tell you.

Well, I can't believe
she called you.

Um, no offense, Mel, but why?

I mean, she cut off all contact
with everyone else.

-Nathan--
-Yeah, and also

she's in London
and it must be pretty

early in London.
She would only call

if it was important.

Look, if you speak to her,
can you just tell her that...

the family miss her
and that I'd like

to talk to her if she's ready?

Um, okay, I will.

Cool.

Do you mind
taking over from this?

Sure, sure.

Hey, Nathan, I'm really sorry.

She made me promise
not to tell you.

[dramatic music playing]

Look. It says "Benno." "Benno."

And yours says?

-"Mel."
-Mel.

Definitely one
of Nathan's finer moments.

I know.

I feel terrible.

Yeah?

Nathan's been so lovely
and I'm lying to him.

Yeah, but with good reason.

Timing was bad
and he's moving on from her.

No, you didn't see his face.

I don't think
he's moving on at all.

I let him believe
that she was still in London.

What if he bumps into her
somewhere in Sydney?

Well, then it's up to Sammy
to explain why she left.

Yeah, well,
we should explain to him now.

Nathan's been through hell.

Whatever he did, I think
he deserves a chance to talk.

[sighs] You're right.
This is too messy.

If Sammy won't give him
closure, we will.

-So, we'll tell him.
-Yeah.

-Tomorrow?
-Tomorrow.

Poor Nathan.
What are you doing?

[gargling]

What? Straight out
of the bottle?

-Uh-huh.
-Have you learnt nothing

from the toothbrush experience?

Germs, Ben!

It's mouthwash. It kills germs.

I'm buying my own from now on.

Soon is better
than later, Eleanor.

So tomorrow at the Boat Club?

But if we don't start looking
after ourselves, who will?

Can I put you on the list?

Ted seems to have got
a spark back.

-Mmm.
-[knock on door]

A good response, Dad?

Couldn't be better.

[phone beeps]

Hey.

I tried to call your place
a few times.

I needed some time to think.

Want to come in?

Dave, what you have
to understand

is that I've always
looked after myself.

Yeah, I've picked up on that.

But if you're saying
what I think you're saying,

my saying no is...
It's getting in the way

of something
that you really want to do.

Well, what do
you want to do, Mom?

I didn't come back
into your life for this.

I know that.
I know that.

I'm in a corner.

It's because I'd love to see
Ruby grow up,

take her first steps,
go to school...

-University.
-[chuckles]

That would be pushing it.

And it mightn't work.
Might not work.

So...

is that a yes?

But just a testing.
There's no... no pressure.

If we're not compatible,
we're not.

[soft music playing]

-[Dave] So you're not angry?
-[Julie] I'm proud.

With a side of anger?

No, with a side of concern.

But what you're doing,
it's... it's a gift.

It's just...
It's an extraordinary gift.

-Oh, I'm just doing what--
-What other people

might do
in the same situation?

-Yeah.
-No, they wouldn't,

no matter how much
they might love their mom.

-So, you're okay with this?
-Mmm.

You've got my full support.

I'll even go
on a health kick with you.

-Health kick?
-Yeah.

Well, you're gonna have
to be in top shape to donate.

Eating well, exercise,
giving up the booze.

Is it too late
to change my mind?

Come here.

What are you doing?

I'm appreciating the owner
of a fine set of kidneys

while I've got the chance.

[Carbo] Nothing.
No teddies, no sexy lingerie.

It's like she's given up.

How could she give up on you?
Look at you.

I know!
I mean, look at this.

-Boom!
-Boom!

Well, maybe there's
something in the mailbox

waiting for you,
something special.

-I'll be right back.
-[Nathan] Go for it.

Morning.

[Nathan] We should put
something really random

in our mailbox
just to flip him out.

Yes, we should
totally do that,

like some mega super-sized
undies or something.

Yes.

Oh, that will be funny.

Right after
we have a chat with you.

Okay.

-About Sammy.
-Oh, no, Mel, don't worry.

I'm not angry.

If you're in contact
with Sammy,

that's your own business.

Yeah, it's kind of about that.

It doesn't have
to be a secret.

If Sammy feels comfortable
talking to you,

then that's great.

[Carbo] Nothing for me.

-[Nathan] Oh.
-She's given up.

Here. It's not lingerie,
I've checked.

-You can feel the lace.
-Sorry to hear that.

Nathan?

Um, it's a letter
from Sammy's lawyers.

That's very sensible.

I probably should've
thought of this myself.

What is it?

Ah, they're asking me
to confirm the date

that Sammy and I separated
so that in 12 months, um, time

the divorce can go through.

Oh, Nathan, I'm so sorry.

No, don't be.
We all knew this was coming.

Anyway, I've got to go
to work.

What did you guys
wanna talk to me about?

Uh... doesn't matter.

Well, are you sure?

Okay. See you.

I guess Sammy's
given him closure.

Yeah. Did you see his face?
We can't tell him now.

So, we just leave it?

Well, I don't want to hurt him.

Okay.

-I should get to work, too.
-Okay.

[Ben] A good turnout,
Granddad.

Isn't it? It's good to see
everyone getting involved.

Yeah, well, as long
as none of them come away

thinking they can take
on a gang single-handed.

Oh, subtle, mate.
It's not about that.

it's about getting a bit
of self-confidence back,

-protecting yourself.
-Yeah, well,

if he teaches you
the crane, I'm in.

-Karate Kid? Wax on, wax off.
-Wax on, wax off.

I can't believe
you talked me into this.

-Me neither.
-Yeah, when he gets an idea

in his head, he's unstoppable.

All right, everyone,
uh, gather around the mats.

Give yourselves
plenty of elbow room.

-Better get to it.
-Hey, uh, Granddad,

do you wanna give me
your watch in case

it takes a little more damage?

Yeah, good idea.
Thanks, mate.

[Mick] Okay. So today,
I'm gonna teach you

some basic self-defense moves.

[upbeat music playing]

Yes! Ha-ha!

Woo!

Yes.

J-Hawk, I know it's you.

Walla, walla, wincha!

Woo!

Carbo, you're back.

Great class.

Thank you, Mick.

Now, before you go,
I'd like to speak to you all

about Mrs. Luscombe's
Phone Tree.

So if you don't mind
hanging around,

I'll grab a glass of water
and I'll be right back to you.

-Good session?
-Oh, as Rachel would say,

-"Empowering!"
-I've created a monster.

-See you next week, Ted.
-I'll call you.

-One watch.
-Oh, thanks, mate.

-The glass has been replaced.
-Has it?

Well, that's weird.

I am blessed
with my grandchildren.

We're the lucky ones.

Now that'll be $22.50.

-[grunts mockingly]
-Whoa!

It's on the house,
it's on the house.

Thanks, mate.

Look, I've got one
more favor to ask of you.

And the rest of the mob.

Isn't it funny
what can restore your faith

in human nature?

Something as small
as the glass in a watch.

Or something much,
much bigger.

Thanks for this.

I couldn't stand
the thought of there

being no one there
at Gwen's funeral.

-Gwen? Was that her name?
-Mmm-hmm. Gwen Luscombe.

Make sure you say it aloud
a few times.

Okay, where's Carbo?

Uh, he said
he'd probably be late.

Typical.

-[car engine revving]
-Here he is.

[car horn honking]

Sorry. It took a while
to find the perfect bunch.

Bunches, you mean.

[Carbo] Yeah,
the least I could do

for all the windows I broke.

Can I, uh, squeeze
in the front with you?

Yeah, sure. Look,
I'll take it easy on the pedal.

-Carbo?
-Yeah, mate?

Can I drive?

No more hiding away.

Life is for living.
