MARISSA: The press release for our new vintner.

DON: Mysterious...

I can't wait to see the look on their faces when they see

just who we've got planned for taking over the reins.

We need to talk about the pickers.

So I was wondering whether we could try

-and get some WWOOFERS in? -Dogs?

Willing Workers On Organic Farms.

-[ Snores ] -[ Sighs, grunts ]

...maybe you considered that you may be in...

-menopause... -Oh. [ Laughs ]

No. No.

We don't use the "M" word.

-GRIFFIN: I came out. -DAISY: Oh...!

Gus likes his life simple.

And you've just invited 600,000 followers into it.

Ah, I've never cared about someone like this before.

It can't have been easy, my whole family under one roof,

given what hap-- well, what nearly --

what nearly happened between us.

I mean, that wasn't even a thing.

-Honestly. -No.

JULIAN: I really don't think that you and Mum

are happy together anymore.

Is it Daisy?

No, no. It's not Daisy.

It's me.

NURSE STACEY: Two strong heartbeats.

We're having twins.

[ Laughs ] Oh! Oh!

[ Gasps ]

I love grapes!

Great!

They speak to me.

Ah, the job is pretty simple.

Um, we're -- we're a couple of weeks away from harvest,

and we need some extra hands.

Um, it -- it is quite a physical job...

Okay.

Ah, I know some of the other vineyards are --

are probably paying more...

Oh, no. All I need is a hot meal and a bed.

Although I do struggle to sleep alone...

Right. Well, um...

Ah, we'll be in touch.

LOUIS: Who the bloody hell are they?

[ Scoffs ]

What?

School holidays are almost over.

Oh, Jay. I know.

It's gonna be, ah...

difficult to go back to London.

-Oh, not for me. -Oh?

I have to look after Mum.

Well, that's lovely, Jay.

And you have to stay here.

-I do. -Because of the vineyard.

-Yes. -And Daisy.

And Daisy. No, no.

Not "and Daisy."

Who the bloody hell are these people?

Good morning.

Good morning.

-What happened to the barkers? -WWOOFERS.

And most people have already got their work for the season.

Look, we already talked about this.

We can't wait any longer.

We have to hire as many people as we can,

and just hope that the bank will come to the party.

Well, what if they don't?

Well, if we don't pick enough grapes,

we can't make enough wine.

Daisy, wewill pick enough grapes.

-We don't even know how! -Look, Tippy will teach us.

-Oh, Louis... -No. There is no other option.

DAISY: Yeah. You're right, because we've already decided.

No. What we've decided is to make decisions together.

-Yes, but you haven't been here! -Oh, right.

So I go away for the weekend to spend some time with my son...

Um...as much as I'd love to see Mummy and Daddy fight,

I've got workers to find.

She just wants to feel appreciated.

He just wants to be included. Are we good?

Yep.

Look, we -- we didn't want to worry you

with everything that you've got going on, you know?

-With your family... -Look, Daisy.

You're my family too.

Um, I-I mean...

-We all are. -DAISY: [ Exhales ]

...family, um, of -- of -- of friends.

We're a...

Oh, we're a -- we're a... [ Clears throat ]

We're a family of -- of friends.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Clears throat ]

TIPPY: This isn't going to be fun or easy.

Then why are we doing it?

You start with a wide stance and a loose wrist.

-Way ahead of you. -[ Laughs ]

And then you cup the grapes gently.

Because why?

Ah, bruised fruit makes bad wine!

At least someone is listening.

-Okay, when you slice -- -GRIFFIN: Hey, it's Nic!

Hi.

Hope I'm not interrupting.

-Ha. -Well...

No, no. Stay, stay.

Please, stay.

Ah, you ready to go for that walk?

-Oh, yes. About that, um... -NIC: Hey, Gus...

you been straddling any hot lumps of metal lately?

[ Laughs ]

Like a tractor...

You know, because of the...

The hot tractor guy thing...?

I deleted that post.

Oh, yeah. But it's still online...

Ah, actually, I've... Um, yeah.

I forgot we've -- we've got that thing we have to...

-We do? -Yeah, yeah. The thing.

-We have to go. -What?

-Bye. -Bye.

Gus doesn't know that the photo is still out there.

What? He doesn't know?

But that photo has gone viral.

-Shhh. -But, no.

I thought, ah, Griffin deleted it.

No, well. Not before it made its way

onto Twitter, Reddit, Tik Tok...

Look, Gus is hotter than Timothée Chamalet

and Benedict Cumberbatch all, like, jammed together!

Which is actually a whole other level of hot,

when you think about it.

TIPPY: Are we doing this?

Because you made quite a big deal about it. So...

Yep. We are doing it. Thanks, Tippy.

Are we sure he doesn't know that?

Oh, Gus thinks that social media

is some kind of communicable disease.

-Well, he's got a point. -Mm.

Oh. Should I talk to him?

Ah, no. No. I wouldn't. Mnh-mnh.

Um, yeah. No, no.

We wouldn't want it to come between them.

-No. No. [ Laughs ] -I mean, at least someone

is having some fun around this town.

If you know what I mean. Ha.

-Yeah, yeah. I got that. -'Cause between you and me,

ever since my rumpus room got turned into a kids' room,

Vic has been treating it like a dusty old attic.

DAISY: Oh. Do you know what, maybe we should

-go for that walk? -NIC: Okay. Bye.

Right...

Tippy. [ Clears throat ] Where were we?

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

He must have missed his flight.

Well, I guess that's the thing

about award-winning French vintners.

They don't bother themselves with minor details

like flight times or...

returning phone calls from their new employers.

No.

Though he was very specific

about the non-refundable deposit on his contract.

He'll be here.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

[ Breathes heavily ] Isn't this nice?

Ah...Yes.

It's -- Oh, it's so nice.

I'm sorry.

I just needed to get out of the house.

-Oh. [ Laughs ] -Vic -- Vic is either

playing Bach to the babies

or he's force-feeding me lentils.

And I'm not allowed to do anything.

I'm not a complete invalid.

Whoa. Just a little bit of one.

Yeah. But he loves you.

I know. And I'm not complaining.

-Mm. -I'm so lucky.

I -- I never thought I'd be here, you know?

Mm. I know.

Did you ever want to have...?

Oh. No. [ Laughs ]

-No. -Oh.

Oh. Maybe I'm selfish, but...

I never really wanted kids, you know?

I loved my life exactly the way it was.

Is. I love my life.

Ah, sorry. I shouldn't have brought it up.

Especially now that you're in menopause.

Oh. No, no.

It's fine. [ Laughs ]

Besides, I-I get to be a -- a heart parent. Right?

Mm. Yeah. With Louis...

together.

Maybe even more together...

-now that he's single. -Mm.

No. No, no.

Louis and I are just friends.

We are.

Only because he broke up with Simone again...

five seconds ago!

But once he gets over that...

-No. -Really?

Well, once upon a time, maybe, we could have been a thing.

But...

there's too much water under the bridge and...

I'm nobody's second choice.

-Yeah. -My life is great

exactly the way it is.

Are you -- Are you sure you don't want to sit down?

Oh, don't you start.

Oh, okay.

[ Laughs ]

Just below the nodule,

slip the blade under,

and cut cleanly away from yourself...

and that's it!

LOUIS: Great.

Thank you.

Yeah. Bye.

Sorry about that.

-What? -Well, no.

I've just had a call from the, ah, the organizers of,

ah, "Taste of the South."

Do you -- Do you know it?

Some fancy Queenstown festival?

Yes. Very fancy. Very prestigious.

There's a big public festival.

There's a conference for wine makers.

And -- And this year, to headline,

they are putting together a panel

of award-winning international vintners.

Now, Tippy, I know you don't love public speaking,

but it could be a great opportunity for you

to practice to really free yourself --

Okay.

What?

TIPPY: You're right. I need the practice.

Right.

Great.

Look, ah, I think it could be,

ah, could be -- could be a lot of fun.

And - and - and the panel is all about,

ah, cultural approaches, ah, to -- to winemaking,

and you'll be able to talk all about your --

your Maori heritage, and -- and what really fires you --

No.

What?

TIPPY: I'll talk about wine.

But not the other stuff.

-Can we get back to it? -Ah, yeah.

Yeah. Yes, of course.

-Hi, all! -Ah...

Hope I'm not interrupting.

No, Vic.

Not at all. What can we do for you?

I need a lawyer.

Are you going to tell him, or shall I?

No. I mean a real lawyer.

Me? No, no, no. I-I've been struck off, Vic.

-Remember? -VIC: No, no.

No, no. I understand.

It's not that urgent.

I'm just getting sued, that's all...

for two mil.

[ Sighs ]

She took it hard.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

Oh.

When you said we had a thing...

Yeah. Oh, this is it. This is the thing.

What's so thing-y about it?

Ah, it's a date in public.

So that's a thing, isn't it?

I mean, it's a thing for me, I guess.

I had a dream about you last night.

Oh, did you just?

Yeah.

You took me to the Oscars.

Oh. Wow.

-Ha. -Yeah.

All I remember is thousands of cameras flashing,

and me screaming.

WOMAN: Oh, my God!

He said you lived here.

Can I get your autograph?

Sure. Yeah.

The old, ah, um,

ah, that's -- hey, um...

Hey, what about a selfie instead?

Hey, Gus, can you just order something?

Just you?

Yeah. Oh, he gets a little shy.

-Oh. Okay. -Yeah. Quick question.

Where'd you get that from?

Oh, there's a kid up the street selling them.

30 bucks for a homegrown Internet sensation?

Come on.

-Ah, just no. -Fine.

-25. -No, no.

You -- You -- You bin these shirts.

You pull them, okay?

-I know people. -Like who?

You gonna get Nicole Kidman to come beat me up?

Yeah. Yeah. Maybe I will. Maybe I will.

-200 bucks for the lot. -1,000.

Wait. No. I could buy them individually for less.

-250. -1,500.

This is not -- this is not how you haggle!

-Who's haggling? 2,000. -Just -- Okay.

Stop. Fine, fine.

Let's just -- you -- get rid of these, okay?

Forget about Hot Tractor Guy, and I'll, um,

I'll -- I'll -- I'll --

I'll give you an interview on your radio show.

New Zealand exclusive?

World exclusive. Just put those in the bin.

Pleasure doing business with you.

Yeah, yeah.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

[ Both breathing heavily ]

I guess we should...

keep going?

Oh, yeah.

Okay.

[ Sighs ]

-Although... -Yeah. I -- I am a bit pooped.

Yeah.

-Whew. -Actually, I'm a lot pooped.

Yeah. [ Laughs ]

-Actually I'm a bit sore. -Yeah.

Yeah. My -- My legs feel like concrete blocks.

They're sort of hot and cold, at the same.

-[ Whimpers ] -Nic?

Hey, hey. Are you all right?

No. No. [ Crying ]

Oh. What? You got cramps?

[ Groans ]

Hang on. Hang on.

Oh... there's no reception.

Oh! What are we gonna do?

Well, you just -- just wait here.

-I'll go get some help. -No, no, no, no.

You can't leave me. Please.

Okay, well, here, sit down. Sit down.

-Oh! -Sit down.

Put your back against the rock.

I'm here, okay?

Just take some -- Just take some deep breaths.

Okay. Look, breathe in.

[ Inhales deeply ]

-And out. -[ Breathes heavily ]

In, out.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

What's this called?

A wine thief.

[ Laughs ] What's it called in Maori?

I don't know.

What's this in Maori?

You are Maori, though? My dad said you were.

But "Bidois" is French, right?

Yeah. I'm Maori.

Then how come you don't know the Maori words?

-I just don't. -I get it.

My friend Gabriel, his parents are from Brazil,

but he doesn't speak Spanish.

They speak Portuguese in Brazil.

Right. No. My point is --

is that you don't have to be weird about it.

I'm not weird!

Let's get some lunch.

Nic, I need to see if you can stand for me, okay?

I don't think I can.

We're going to walk down the road.

-No. I can't. -Yes, you can. I promise.

[ Screams, gasps ]

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

Oh.

Doctor David!

Ah...

She, ah, she just doubled over in pain.

Deep breathing, all right?

There's no need to panic just yet.

Let's have a look.

Okay.

Do you know if you've got any spotting?

-I haven't been. -You haven't?

-No. -Okay. That's good.

Right.

You're doing well. You're doing okay.

-So I'm gonna go get my truck... -Mm.

...come back, and we'll take you to the surgery.

-Okay. -All right?

-Yep. -Good.

You look like a calming influence.

I'm gonna be back in a minute.

You've got this.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

Vic, you're going to be fine.

It was an accident.

How was I supposed to know there was already a wine

called "Love Goats," owned by a very large,

very litigious international corporation?

Ooh. I could have Googled it.

Ah, yes. Possibly, possibly you could.

But, you know, as long as you agree to rename the wine...

VIC: I only called it that

in honor of Nic's amazing creations.

Oooh. Maybe I could rename it The Twins?

Well, we'll come -- we'll come back to that.

The thing is, we're here today to get you out of this, right?

As long as you stick to the plan.

I just don't understand why I can't talk to them nicely.

Because Vic, in this world, nice equals weak,

and these people prey on the weak.

I should know, I used to...

I used to be one of them.

Look, if I could lead the meeting, I would.

-But... -...practicing law,

once been disbarred for walking naked through London,

is a criminal offense?

Well, that's not actually why I was, ah, disbarred, Vic.

And I was -- I was -- I was actually running.

But, no. That's good, that's good.

You're sounding like a -- a real lawyer.

-Ah. -Hi.

Hi.

Gidday!

No, Vic. We're going that way.

Ah, yep.

-Ready? [ Clears throat ] -Yep. [ Clears throat ]

So that's two sets of healthy heartbeats.

Then what's wrong?

Maybe we could talk in private.

Anything you can say to me, you can say in front of Daisy.

Okay. Ah, could you bring your knees

to your chest for me, please?

Mm.

Yep. Now give yourself a nice tight hug.

Mm...

Ah, why am I...

[ Farting ]

Oh.

[ Farting continues ]

Oh...

lentils...

Look, I am gonna need to change GPs.

Oh...

-Or towns. -[ Laughs ]

I hear Iceland is nice this time of year.

-He didn't mind. -He was being polite.

Well, I'm just glad it wasn't anything serious.

I think I'm more worried about this than I thought I was.

That's what you've got us for.

-Mm. -DAVID: Ladies?

You forgot this.

[ Gasps ] Thanks.

Yeah. Um, I never had a chance to properly introduce myself.

-I'm David. -Oh. Daisy.

Oh, you're Stanley's daughter.

DAISY: Oh. Step-daughter, yep.

Oh, right. Well, he was a lovely guy.

Terrible wine.

[ Laughs ] Well, we're working on that.

Yeah. So I hear.

Ah, so, actually,

I'm gonna meet of mine tonight

who owns a couple of bars in Queenstown and...

I don't know if you need a stockist or...

-Always. -Oh, really?

-Mm. -Oh, great.

So if you're not doing anything, you should come.

-Oh, okay. -Great.

-Great. -Ah, Nic has got my number.

-Yes. -Okay, good.

Yeah, ah...that's great.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

[ Gasps, squeals ]

Oh, it's just a business thing.

[ Laughs ]

[ Clock ticking ]

Oh. [ Clears throat ]

My client wishes to inform your client that

he is willing in this instance to,

ah, relinquish all control of said property,

and re-label his wine at his own cost,

as full and final settlement of this matter.

MR. CARTER: Your client?

Well, me.

My client has wasted considerable time and energy

on this case.

How would your client address that?

I could buy him a beer.

[ Laughs ]

[ Chuckles ]

-Let's talk damages. -VIC: Ooh, ah...

the thing is, I don't really have any money.

Oh, actually. No, I do.

I've got about 20K saved away at the moment.

-But... -Ah, Vic, I --

That's actually for the baby.

You see, Nic's parents gave us 10K,

but that's not nearly enough to look after twins.

That's -- no, no, no, no. That's -- That's great.

Great, thanks. We've, ah -- No, we've...

We've tried it your way. Right.

First things first. Now, as you operate on retainer,

this meeting isn't costing your client a cent.

And as your job is to take away headaches,

rather than to cause them, I'm willing to bet

that you haven't even told your client this case exists.

So, ah, we've got two options.

Either you can, ah, settle things here and now,

leaving your client in blissful ignorance,

or you can spend months in litigation

fighting for about the same amount of money

that your client would normally spend on lunch in Aspen,

whilst we make sure the combined weight

of the New Zealand media unites against you...

because let's face it, there's nothing this country

loves more than an underdog.

And I'm sure it'll do wonders for your sales.

Our offer expires, ah, when we leave the room.

Right then. [ Clears throat ]

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

Wait.

They've rescheduled the agricultural show.

Ooh. I must tell Wanda.

Right.

Where are you going?

To get our old vintner back.

Philippe will be here.

That may be so.

But if he's this unreliable...

There's plenty of good winemakers in the --

Don, it -- it has to be him.

Just because Oakley has Tippy, doesn't mean that we need --

What's that?

Don.

Look.

Is that smoke?

It's smoke!

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

What is a yurt doing in my vineyard?

[ Inhales deeply ]

Philippe?

[ Exhales ]

I am come.

-Oh! -You come late.

I was early. I have been, ah, evaluating.

MARISSA: And how did we do?

Your wine is a song.

Oh. [ Laughs ] Thank you.

But this wine...

is a symphony.

You did not tell me you were losers.

-We're not. -Oh, no.

Think of us, um, an orchestra in need of a conductor.

Welcome to Shimmering Lake, Philippe Bidois.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

You know staring is rude.

You started it.

Are most people a bit scared of you?

-I hope so. -Huh.

Why? Aren't you?

Guess I'm used to it.

When my dad was a lawyer, my mum was angry all the time.

I'm not angry all the time.

Neither was Mum.

She was actually just lonely.

I'm sorry I upset you...

before.

My mother is Maori.

She wasn't close with her family, so...

neither am I.

-Mm. -That's why I can't speak it.

What about your dad's family?

I don't know.

France...

somewhere.

That's where I got the name Bidois.

So my grandfather moved from there

to the North Island, met my grandmother.

And he died when I was 14.

Is that where your family lives?

You ask a lot of questions.

I know.

They moved to the Gold Coast when I was 16, and...

I didn't really want to go.

Mm.

And none of that is anyone's business but mine,

so don't go spreading it. Okay?

Ah, I still don't get why they needed to take a selfie

so far away from the table?

Yeah. Fans.

Oh, okay. Thank God. So --

Ah. No, no. Wait. Me first.

Me first.

[ Clears throat ]

Is that a date?

Who's David?

"I'll pick you up at 7:00" is a date, right?

Especially if we're going to a bar...

even though it is to meet a stockist,

and he did say that Nic is welcome too.

It's a date, though, right?

-What? -Do you want it to be a date?

No. No, no. I -- Well, yeah, ah, no.

I just need to know whether he thinks it is, that's all.

-Oh. -Oh, you're -- you're no help.

Give it back.

What's your thing?

Okay, so Rowan -- I shut it down, but...

look.

[ Gasps ] Oh. Oh.

-I know. -Oh. Well...

he's gonna find out eventually.

You can't control that.

What you can control, though, is how you deal with it.

And that will make all the difference to how he reacts.

So what are you going to do?

So, I'll just -- I guess I'll have to, um...

Yeah. I'll just have to shower him with gifts

so he falls madly in love with me,

so by the time he finds out,

then he's in too deep to dump me.

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

That's the opposite of what I was saying.

-No. Oh, Griff-- -Love you, Daisy.

Oh, hey. Um, that one...

not that one.

Oh.

It's a date, though, right?

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

-Mate. -[ Laughs ]

-I owe you. -Oh.

-VIC: Come on. -Ooh. Seatbelt.

-VIC: [ Laughs ] -You don't owe me.

It was actually pretty fun.

-VIC: Mm. -[ Laughs ]

Do you miss it?

Um...

[ Laughs ]

Do you know what?

-I don't. -[ Laughs ]

I don't.

Hi.

Hi.

Sorry I, ah, missed your call.

Oh. No.

It turns out it was a very windy storm in a teacup.

Ah, Daisy. About this morning...

Mm-hmm. What about it?

Well, ah, look.

I know it's, ah -- things have been messy.

Mm. Yes.

Well, show me a middle-aged man who doesn't come with baggage.

Ah, says the women with four sets of luggage?

Um, it's one set of four sizes.

And I'd like to see you pack a weekender into an overnighter.

No, what I said this morning about, um...

well, about family.

Um, well, I-I meant it.

Oh.

-And, um... -[ Cellphones ring ]

Oh, ah.

Just a sec.

-It's Vic. -Oh. It's Nic.

-Hi. Everything all right? -Hi, Vic.

-Ah, no. I haven't read it. -No. It's not something I read.

-Who? -Who?

Bidois.

-As in... -Yeah. I get it.

-Do you know him? -TIPPY: Didn't even know

-he existed. -Oh.

Maybe he just has the same name as me?

LOUIS: Tippy, another winemaker named Bidois?

Not that we want you to worry.

TIPPY: Why would I worry?

Well, some of us don't think there's any reason to.

And some of us think this is a strategy.

What kind of strategy?

Well, I haven't figured that out yet.

Look, there's no mystery here.

Marissa wanted a Bidois. She couldn't get the best,

so she settled for a French knock-off.

Well, oh, okay. So he's not a knock-off.

Apparently he's the youngest ever vintner to win gold

at the Paris Wine Cup.

And how do you feel about that?

I feel nothing.

See? She's fine.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

She's fine.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

Okay, so I know you think you know everywhere

in Peak View, Gussy.

But I'm pretty sure you don't know this place.

-Is it "Thistle Do?" -Oh, damn it.

You do know it.

[ Laughs ] I've never been here, though.

Ta-da!

-It's lovely. -Mm...

Hey. You're lovely.

Apparently, the woman who runs it is awesome.

MORAG: Dinner is 7:30.

Not 7:25, not 7:40.

We're having steak.

The vegetarian option is steak.

And tonight is comedy night.

We'll be playing the box set of "Fawlty Towers"

in the parlor.

Here are your rooms.

Oh. We only booked one room.

We don't have rooms with twin beds in them.

GUS: Well, we don't need twin beds.

But there's two of you.

Ah, yeah, yeah.

Hmm.

I know you.

Ah, I work at Oakley.

No. I --

I know you.

Oh, ah, you -- you know what?

It's fine. Actually, um,

yeah, two rooms is -- is fine. So, yeah.

We'll -- We'll see you down at dinner.

No...

Mm.

I'll sneak in after lights out. It'll be fun.

-You'll be like my -- -Your dirty little secret?

It's okay. I'll see you at dinner.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

Jay, have you seen Tippy?

Mm.

You know, I think she's more worried than she's letting on.

And I wouldn't be surprised if that was part of their plan.

All right, Miss Marple.

You look nice.

Oh. Thanks.

Yeah. You do. Are you, um, off out somewhere?

Ah, yes.

Just to meet a potential stockist.

LOUIS: Oh. Should I be there?

Oh, no, no, no.

No -- No point in both of us wasting our time.

Ah!

-[ Laughs ] David, hi. -Hi.

Um...

Oh, this is, ah, Louis, and this is Julian.

-This is... -Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you. -David is our local GP.

He's the one doing the introductions.

-Right. -Yeah.

Hm.

So, ah, we should probably go.

-Yeah, yeah. -I'll -- I'll see you later.

Yeah. Don't worry. I'll take care of her.

Bye.

Well...he's, ah...

seems nice.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

Hello, little spy.

You're good at sneaking but, ah, I am better.

I'm not a spy.

I'm your cousin...apparently.

Third cousin. I called Mamanto check.

Come.

Louis said not to trust you.

-PHILIPPE: Who is Louis? -My boss.

He sounds like a clever man.

DAISY: So, how long have you lived in Peak View?

Ah, three years, now.

Oh. So a local.

Ha. No.

I have a patient who retired here 15 years ago,

and they still call him Weekend Johnny.

Oh.

Did you, um -- Did you move here for family?

No. Job...

and the lifestyle.

I used to work in, ah, emergency medicine.

-Oh. -City hospitals --

very frenetic.

Oh. That's a big change.

Yeah. Too big, if you ask some people.

Like my ex-wife, for example.

Oh. I'm sorry to hear that.

Oh, no. It's all amicable.

She tried to matchmake me with her hairdresser last week.

Oh. And, ah, how did that go?

Sorry?

-With -- With the hairdresser? -Oh.

She lives in Auckland, and, you know...

I can barely do short-distance relationships.

[ Laughs ] Well, amen to that.

[ Laughs ] I mean, I guess...

it's hard for most people to understand

that some of us are perfectly happy being single.

Oh, yes. Ah, yes. Ha, yeah. Right.

-Same -- Same boat. -[ Cellphone rings ]

-Yeah. -Mm.

-Oh, um, do you mind? -No, no, no.

No, no. You go.

Kia ora,Arapeta.

ARAPETA: Oh,kia ora, Doc.

Kei te pehea koe?

Oh, Kei te pai.

You sound a bit worse for wear.

ARAPETA: Oh. Had -- I had a bit of a fall.

It's not bad, I-I just -- I can't get up.

My son will be around in a couple hours,

and I just thought if you were close by...

DAVID: Oh, yeah. I'm just gonna swing by now.

ARAPETA: Ah, only if you're not busy.

Oh, it's nothing that can't wait.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

Borrowed it off Louis.

It's a bit tight. Ah.

You look incredible.

Oh.

Oh, well. That's good to see you made a bit of an effort.

No, you...Sorry.

-Take a seat. -Yeah. [ Laughs ]

-Thanks. [ Laughs ] -It's okay.

Ah...

Mora-- Morag, do you think that maybe you could, um,

just give us some more privacy?

Oh. [ Scoffs ] Yes, of course.

ARAPETA: It's open.

Kia ora.

-ARAPETA: Hey. -Arapeta.

Ohh.

[ Breathes heavily ]

I forgot to water the tomatoes.

I got up too fast. Stupid.

DAVID: Right. Well, let's just take a look, eh?

How long ago did this happen?

ARAPETA: About an hour, maybe two.

It's just a flare.

You know, my legs don't do what I want them to.

All right, well, let's just make sure that you haven't

done yourself a mischief, eh?

-All right? Okay? -ARAPETA: Yeah.

All right.

Oh, ah...

Arapeta, koDaisy tenei.

-Daisy, Arapeta. -Hi.

ARAPETA: You should have said you were busy.

Hey, hey, hey. Taihoa e kokoro. Taihoa.

Ooh, you know, you make a beautiful woman like this wait

while you help me off the floor?

That's very kind.

DAVID: If you don't let me examine you,

I'm gonna keep her waiting longer.

I tell you what, why don't I go and water the tomatoes?

You just point the way.

Just out the front there.

Thanks, mate.

MORAG: Time for the wireless, I think.

ANNOUNCER: On "Love Radio"...

ROWAN: Welcome to Nights on Peak View FM...

Oh. I love this show.

ROWAN: ...with your host Rowan-in-the-boat

right alongside you.

And in honor of tomorrow's exclusive interview

with Griffin Galway, a selection of love songs

dedicated to the one, the only Hot Tractor Guy!

First up, "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy"...

Okay. Um...

So, Gus...

You've gone viral.

Yeah. I know.

No, even after I deleted the post, it...

No, yeah. I-I know.

How?

Mm, Trevor the greengrocer.

He made me sign his bananas.

Oh.

Wait...Wait.

Was that why you were being weird this morning?

And then later this morning...

and then just before?

I thought it was because you were still ashamed of us.

Gus, no, not at all. It just...

This is what it's gonna be like

when we go overseas, when we go to events.

Everyone on the planet is just gonna fall in love with you...

and you're gonna hate it.

I know.

But it's worth it, if I get to be with you.

MORAG: [ Sobs ]

[ Sniffles ]

GUS: Morag?

-[ Sniffles ] -Are you okay?

Sinus infection.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

Do you think maybe we should stop for the day?

Why?

We wanted to get this finished before you go back.

You could wait for her in the house.

Julian, I'm not waiting for anybody.

Don't you care she's dating a doctor?

It's a business meeting.

Dad...

-I'm sorry. -What for?

If I hadn't called Mum, she wouldn't have come back,

and all this -- this wouldn't --

Jay, Jay, Jay.

Mum -- Mum coming back

gave us a chance to sort this out properly, all right?

We -- We -- We wouldn't have been able to do that

if it wasn't for you, all right?

What about you and Daisy?

Daisy and I have both been through a lot recently.

We're not about to

[Breathes deeply] rush into anything.

All right?

It's beautiful, eh?

Mm. Really is.

Arapeta's wife was famous for her tomatoes.

She used to win the A&P show every year.

Oh.

She died a couple of years ago.

He really could use someone living here with him now,

but he's too proud.

Mm.

And he believes...

I should say sorry.

What for?

Avoiding our date.

Oh. Is that what this is?

[ Chuckles ] Honestly, I don't know.

I'm not great at this.

Well, I'm normally amazing at it.

[ Knock on window ]

Hiakai hana korua?

He's saying, "Are you hungry?" dear.

-[ Laughs ] -Ka haere maua.

There's a picnic hamper behind you with some kai

and a nice wine.

And there's a ridge with a bloody great view

of nothing at all 10 minutes that way.

Go on.

Off you pop.

[ Laughs ] Thanks, Arapeta.

What was it like, growing up in France?

In our family, ah, you do not grow up,

you are born fully formed.

I was picking at 5, tasting at 10.

You grew up without grapes.

Well, I, um...

No. It was not a question.

Who taught you to make wine like this?

My father and...

his father before him.

There are nine generations of Bidois men singing in this wine.

Expecting nothing but the absolute best.

I can hear them whispering in yours.

You've tasted it?

You are...raw, huh?

But with guidance...

you could be brilliant.

Your guidance?

Mm.

Who says I want it?

Because I think there is no one else

in this tiny little land who really understands.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

LOUIS: Oh.

You're back late.

[ Sighs ] I went to see Philippe.

Great.

How was that?

He was really nice.

I bet he was.

It's cool, having family here.

Mm. I'm sure it is, Tippy.

But, um... just don't forget

we're your -- we're your family too.

I'm -- I'm not going to stop seeing him.

No, no. I don't -- I don't mean that.

Have fun on your date.

No. Tippy, it's not a date.

Oh, for God's sake.
