All language subtitles for Married at First Sight (AU) - S12E19 - Episode 19.en

NARRATOR: Previously...
We've been intimate.

Oh!

(APPLAUSE)

NARRATOR: It was a loved-up
commitment ceremony.

He's someone that I do
have love for.

That's Morena. It was so beautiful.
We've had a good time.

NARRATOR: But not everyone
was embracing the romance.

It's really lovely to hear that.

But I don't feel it.

Oh , my god.

"Stay."

NARRATOR: Adrian was put on notice...

I wrote, "Sorry, leave."

..giving him just one week
to turn his marriage around...

It's on your shoulders
to really do some big-time lifting.

..and when Veronica
caught up with Lauren...

Eliot is a narcissist.

He has literally no depth.

..the ex-wife did not hold back
voicing her opinion on Eliot.

I feel so sorry for you.
You can do a million times better.

NARRATOR: And then...

Hi, guys!
Hey!

..Friends and Family Week

saw most of our couples' loved ones
give positive feedback.

Eyes tell everything.

All any parent ever wants
is for their child to be happy.

You've only been in the relationship
for a while,

so if you need to give him
a little kick up the arse,

say, "Where's my compliments today?"
(LAUGHTER)

They are not good enough
to be in your life.

He is definitely not good enough
in my nephew's life.

NARRATOR: But Awhina and Adrian's
lunch with their loved ones...

How dare you?

He has not even shown up.
Not even once.

..descended into chaos.

I'm just - I don't need to listen
to this.

Goodbye.
I'm done.

Make sure you leave the apartment.

NARRATOR: Tonight...

(LAUGHS)

..Friends and Family Week continues.

We can see the way Carina
looks at you.

Yes, you look happy. You really do.

You can tell the chemistry's
definitely there

and I do see a future.

To new beginnings of family.
Yes.

You are being unreasonable
and I will not tolerate it.

NARRATOR: What causes Veronica
to lash out at Eliot?

Do not raise your voice at me.

I've had enough.
This is so civil.

I've had enough!

NARRATOR: Emotions reach
breaking point

as they navigate the first week
of married life.

(CHILD'S MUSIC BOX PLAYS)

NARRATOR: And in an unexpected
turn of events,

which couple will announce
their exciting baby news?

(CHILD'S MUSIC BOX PLAYS
'TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR')

(PENSIVE SOUNDTRACK)

No. I'm not, I'm really not OK.

I actually have brought up my son
a few times,

just randomly here and there,

and that's actually true.

Well, actually, of course, she did.

She's a fantastic mother,

so how about we lose that attitude
about her being a mum.

You're the only one
that's come in with attitude.

No, I did not appreciate that
at all.

When did I say you weren't?
The fact that you just snorted.

When did I say...

She's the best frickin' mum
there is.

How dare you? How dare you?

You deserve more than this.
You know what? I actually,

I'm just - I don't need to listen
to this shit.

Goodbye.
Pointless conversation.

It is. It really is.

Good. Make sure you leave
the apartment.

And actually pack your stuff
this time.

Adrian didn't actually mean
a single thing what he said.

He literally just said, "Stay",

because he wants to re-control
the narrative

and pretend that he's stepping up,

but in reality, he wants
to tell everyone how bad I am.

I don't know what I've done
so wrong to that man. It...

He came in here
but came in here with an agenda.

I texted my twin, saying,
"Go easy on Adrian."

And he's told them, "Have at her."

I know how I feel inside.

I feel hurt.

And I can see in Adrian's eyes,
he's not hurt at all.

There's no hurt in him.

But no one was attacking.

We were simply asking the questions,

which is what we were
brought here for.

But had Cleo not been there,

I think that conversation could've
been a little bit different...

I agree.
..more understanding.

And obviously, I'm emotional
right now and I'm upset, too,

but I've genuinely done
nothing wrong.

And I don't think Awhina
is going to see

what her and her sister have
done wrong. I genuinely don't.

That was just (BLEEP) draining.

Yeah, I actually feel drained.

Hard (BLEEP) hell.
Can I go home now?

Yeah.
Oh, it's just too much.

Can we get your stuff?

Yeah.

And leave?
Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

I'm done.

(OMINOUS SOUNDTRACK)

Yeah, I travelled back alone

because I would gladly never be
in Adrian's presence again.

Had he just come in and actually
started doing the things he said...

..today would have looked
a lot different.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

Not really.

I think today speaks volumes.
Why would I want to say anything?

I don't think you do either.

You.

Yeah.

(SCOFFS) Don't even try to bring
my sister into this.

You might treat me like shit.

Talk about her once
and I'll come at you.

You have been this whole time.

How did I treat you like shit today?

Adrian, your family came in
on attack mode for me.

It could have gone very differently.

We could've all just sat there
and had...

Defend me, that's what she did.
She defended me.

Today could've looked
very different.

No, I'm not. I'm embarrassed
for you.

I'm embarrassed for you.

(SCOFFS)

My twin sister's beautiful
and an amazing person

and she stuck up for me.

No, honestly, I don't even care.
Don't even.

You're embarrassed of my twin?
Well, I'm embarrassed for you.

Leave.

I'm embarrassed for you.

You should be embarrassed...
I'm embarrassed for you.

and I hope you guys...
I'm embarrassed for you.

I hope your sister is...
I'm embarrassed for you.

Guess what, mate? I don't have
to listen to you anymore.

How old are you again?
"Blah, blah, blah."

How old are you?
You know what? I don't care.

How old are you?
I really don't, Adrian.

How old's your sister?
(SCOFFS) How old are you, mate?

How old's your sister?
I'm just - how old's your sister?

Yeah, how old are you, mate?
Your sister's making comments...

How old are you, mate?
How old are you, mate?

I'm not - I don't have to listen
to you anymore.

I've listened to you...
Sister's making comments...

..this whole time and, to be honest,
I don't need you anymore.

Leave.

Bye. Don't ever come back.

See ya.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Yeah, right now, like, I feel
pissed off with Awhina.

Of her and her sister.

Clearly, she cannot see

where her sister went wrong,
just like I thought.

But all the time, I've taking
accountabilities for my actions

and I've said, "Sorry,
I've made mistakes",

and you know, I've stuck by that

and I manned up and said
when I was wrong.

And this time, I'm absolutely not
in the wrong, nor is my family.

And yeah, now, we'll see

if she's going to own up
to her sister's actions.

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

NARRATOR: As this year's
meet-the-family week

approaches the halfway point,

are couples who have already met
with their loved ones

are feeling closer than ever...

Do you think I passed the test
with the family?

I definitely think you did.
Not that there was a test,

but you know what I mean.
(CHUCKLES)

You did really well.

I'm genuinely, like, as happy
as I've been in a long time, so...

That's so nice.

..as it's given their relationships
a new sense of confidence.

(CHUCKLES)

I only want the best for you
and I want the best for me.

And we had a fantastic day
yesterday.

It was so good.

And we added more things
to the shrine as well.

I just want you to know
that supporting each other is...

Do you want to dance?
..means a lot to me.

Do you want to dance?
Do I want to dance now?

Yeah.
(CHUCKLES) I'd rather play chess.

Oh, you're going to dance for me.

You ready?
Yeah.

(GIGGLES)

See? I haven't failed one
since the wedding.

NARRATOR: While Jacqui and Ryan
continue basking

in the afterglow of their
meet-the-family's success,

our remaining couples
get ready for their turn.

Big day today, Morenche.

Yes.

Mine's the top one, Morena.

You can have the whole thing, Tony.

Can't eat that, huh?

It's all your - I can eat it,

but I normally don't like eating it
when someone's double-dipped.

Meeting each other's family
and friends

is an important relationship
milestone for any new couple.

I, like, hardly slept
because I was excited.

I'm really eager to kind of
show off, I guess,

how happy we're trotting along.

No, I know. Yeah.

How good we look together
and, you know?

ALESSANDRA: Not only is this
an opportunity

to connect, seek advice
and support,

it's also an opportunity
to turn their minds

to life outside of the experiment

and consider whether they have
a viable long-term future together.

Family and friends day!
Are you excited?

Yeah. 100%.

Eager to see if our lives
are going to be compatible

beyond this experiment.

Yeah, that's one
of the next big steps.

NARRATOR: Next to meet their
loved ones are Carina and Paul.

(SQUEALS AND LAUGHTER)

..who are meeting Paul's good friend,
Johnny,

and sister, Anna, who was unable
to attend the wedding...

I really wanted to have my sister
at my wedding

but sadly, she couldn't make it,

so having her here today

and the fact that she was able
to meet Carina for the first time,

honestly, it was just so special,
you know?

(LAUGHTER)

How do we do it the French way?

..as well as Carina's sister, Marie,
and auntie, Maria.

Is he as good looking as you two?

(LAUGHTER)

Even better.

Oh!

Hello, hello.

Hello!

As soon as I saw him,

oh, I thought he was quite hot,
actually. (LAUGHS)

I shouldn't be saying that.
I'm the aunty.

Can we get some napkins, please?
You've just mucked up our make-up.

I'm hoping to find out
quite a bit today.

I want to see if they're happy,
if Paul is in it for the long haul,

maybe ask him a few little private
questions and personal questions.

You know, he's French.

Want to know how good he is.

Yeah, it's just so nice
to all be together.

It is nice.

Though we have so many questions
for you guy

and excited to hear how things
have been going.

Oh, gosh, let's get the list out.

(LAUGHTER)

So, how are you honestly
finding it all?

You know, we've had each other's
back from the beginning

and it's been amazing.

We have, we've been a team.

Yeah, we have been a team.
We've been a very good team.

'Cause it's not easy.
It's definitely not easy.

Even, like, this morning,
I was like, "We're a team."

Good, I love that. You really bonded.
Carina, that is great!

The foundation of a good
relationship and marriage

is friendship

and then everything else
will follow with that

and you've got to have each other's
back and open, honest, trust.

We can see the way Carina
looks at you.

Yes.
You look happy.

You really do.

(LAUGHTER)

ANNA: First impression of Carina,

she seems lovely and genuine,

and so far, I've heard
all good things from Paul

and he's been really happy

and from what I can see,

it seems like they're still heading
in the right direction,

which was really nice to see.

Is there any other questions
you want to...

Ooh, yeah.
..you wanted to know and, you know?

(LAUGHTER)

We might need some more drinks
before this.

(LAUGHTER)

Paul's looking down
at the table there.

So, obviously, you sleep together?

(LAUGHTER)

Jeepers! That's just too much.

Yeah?

(LAUGHTER)

Keep it PG. Nieces and nephews
and kids are watching.

(LAUGHTER)

I don't know if I want
to hear this.

(LAUGHTER)

My sister's here.
(LAUGHTER)

Just answer the question.
Yes, we've been intimate. Yes.

The sex life is good?

(LAUGHTER)

Oh, my god. I was like, "Zia mia!"

Oh, my god!

The French, you know,
the French are...

..pretty good.
Oh, my god!

We can't complain about that.

It's been really nice.

It's perfect.
Oh, that's good.

Now, he's blushing!

(LAUGHTER)

I'm not going to lie, she did make
me blush a little bit.

I was like... (LAUGHS)

But yeah, I reckon I've put
her worries to rest, yeah.

I think she knows that Carina
and I are having good sex,

so yeah, I think she's...
I think she's at peace now. (LAUGHS)

I like how you like to find out
all the details.

There's no secrets there.

(LAUGHTER)
Zia mia wants the goss.

She wants the juice.

(LAUGHS)

You can tell the chemistry
is definitely there,

which was beautiful to see,
and I do see a future, yes.

Cheers, guys.
Cheers.

Cheers!
Two new beginnings of family.

Yes. Cheers.
Cin-cin.

The sex life.

(LAUGHTER)

Oh, jeepers! Now, it's just
too much.

NARRATOR: Coming up...

I didn't feel like a learned
anything about you.

NARRATOR: Crash Course Week
unexpectedly implodes one couple.

Well, maybe that's to do
with your ability to...

..listen.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

NARRATOR: Our three newest couples
have been spending this week

participating in the crash course,

which has been designed
to fast-track their relationships

to catch up with the original
couples.

I've had so much of this KitKat.
You have to have some.

I can't just be eating it
all on my own.

NARRATOR: However, Veronica is
still struggling with some concerns

about her husband, Eliot,

after speaking with his ex-wife,
Lauren...

One of my friends was in
a relationship with a narcissist

for like ten years

and what I have learned from her

is that, like, they don't actually
have real feelings,

so I do feel like Eliot
is a narcissist.

Yeah, OK.

..and the first crash course task

didn't give the insight into Eliot
that Veronica was hoping for.

I don't find her really
that physically attractive.

Not attractive, not attractive,
not attractive.

Physically speaking,
not really attracted to her.

Of course.

I don't really feel like
I learned anything.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Ooh, who's that?

(EXHALES) My destiny awaits.
(LAUGHS)

NARRATOR: So, the next task,
the confessions letter,

could be exactly what Veronica
is needing

to get a deeper understanding
of Eliot.

"Opening up to others and revealing
our true selves is never easy.

"By opening yourself up
to your significant other,

"you become more vulnerable

"and you create an opportunity
for a greater connection.

"For this task, you must write
a letter to your partner

"revealing your most significant
relationship or life experience.

"So, be brave and
let your partner in."

Hmm, a letter.

Panic sets in across the room.
(LAUGHS)

I like the sound of that.

Great.

Finally. (LAUGHS)

I feel like Veronica wants
more vulnerability...

..and I've never been someone

that's, like, overly emotional
or vulnerable.

But I definitely have willingness
to be open, 100%.

Um...

So, I want to do my best

to, you know, open up
and be vulnerable.

Ah...

It's... Yeah, it's a story
I've never shared with anybody else.

It would have to be

one of my most deep
and harrowing memories that I have

and something that, like, had
affected me so much in my childhood,

and it's deeply personal.

I wrote it like a proper letter.

Oh!

"Dear Veronica...

"I do want to preface this story
by saying

"this is something I've never shared
with anyone before.

"The story goes back
to when I was nine years old.

"I'm sitting in a specialist's
office in a hospital,

"my mum beside me,

"and my younger sister, Bridie,

"had been experiencing some unusual
symptoms

"and was diagnosed
with type I diabetes

"and as she fell into a coma...

"..the news hit us
like a ton of bricks.

"My mum burst into tears,

"which inevitably led to me
joining her...

"..in a choir of uncontrollable
sobbing.

"It felt like it was the end
of the world.

"There was no hope.

"This continued for what seemed
like forever

"until suddenly the door burst open
and it was my dad.

"I'll never forget his reaction
to the situation.

"He immediately comforted her,

"he engaged with the doctor
about the treatment,

"and in that moment, my dad's
strength and stoicism

"set us on a path forward.

"The impact this memory has on me

"is I never want to be overwhelmed
by emotion.

"Like anyone, I feel things.

"I just do my best to identify
and understand it

"rather than be controlled by it.

"I feel like this is relevant to you

"and to our relationship
in this experiment

"and why I may appear guarded
sometimes.

"Yours sincerely, Eliot."

Cute!

Thank you for sharing.
That was very nice.

(LAUGHS)

Were you there?

This was the perfect opportunity

for him to just to tell me
something, anything,

and he chose nothing.

Like, yeah.

I know he's... I know
that his mum cried

that his sister has diabetes,

and that his dad is a stoic,
emotionless man.

I just don't think
that he has the capacity

to even look at himself

or think about his life

in a way that's more
than just a surface level.

Like, he just cannot find it
within him to give me anything more.

Like, this is the second task now
that we've been given

that he has been completely
unwilling to participate in,

and I'm just like, I don't know
what to do!

Oh!

Yeah. Anyway.

NARRATOR: Having been a few hours
since sharing his confessions letter,

Eliot has noticed a shift in attitude
from wife, Veronica.

What are you going to have
for dinner?

I don't know.

Do you want me to cook you steak?

No, I'm OK, thank you.

OK.

After the confessions letter,

I noticed a tenseness in the air
from Veronica.

I feel like I was opening up to her,

pouring my heart out,

but wasn't really
any kind of engagement.

I want to speak to her

and see what's going on with her.

How are you feeling?

Yeah, I'm OK.

I'm alright.

You seem kind of distracted.

Yeah, I just guess I...

I just thought that it was going
to be different.

OK. How so?

Like, I thought that it might be
about you.

What we discussed
or what you might share

might be about you.
Oh, my memory.

I don't know.

So, you're saying that that memory
wasn't about me?

Yeah.

Really?
Yeah.

Um...

The story is about something
traumatic

that happened to someone else

and I don't know how you felt,

I don't know how it's impacted you.

I don't know...

You didn't talk about your own
feelings about the event.

I said it super clearly.

Like, I said exactly how I felt...

How did you feel?
..like, in the moment.

Like, I said it in there.

Like, I felt like it was the end
of the world.

All you said is the world
was ending.

Like, it felt to me like the world
was ending. Yeah, I think...

Is there an emotion
attached to that?

That's not an emotion.
It's an event.

I said...

I said to you when you asked me...
How does it make you feel?

Hopeless. That was the emotion.

Is that all?

I don't feel any deeper
understanding of Eliot.

I...
I'm just being honest.

Yeah.
That's how...

That's how I'm responding
to what you told me.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

All you said is the world
was ending.

Like, it felt to me like the world
was ending. Yeah, I think that's...

Is there an emotion
attached to that?

That's not an emotion,
it's an event.

I said...

I said to you when you asked me...
How does it make you feel?

Hopeless.

That was... That was the emotion.

Is that all?

I don't feel any deeper
understanding of Eliot.

I'm just being honest.
Yeah.

That's how... That's how
I'm responding to what you told me.

I've just shared something
that's like deeply personal to me,

that had a huge impact on my life,

and you're taking that and saying,

"That's not enough for me.
That's..."

So, like, for me to...

I'm just... I'm just telling you
how I feel.

Me being vulnerable
and you're saying,

"That's not enough for me,
that's not enough for me."

I'm allowed to feel
how I feel about it

and I'm expressing that to you.

I'm not interested in having
an argument about it.

I'm just telling you that I don't
have any further insight into Eliot

and I'm disappointed by that.

The task was a way for us
to be vulnerable to each other.

Now, for me to be vulnerable to you

and then you to turn around and say,
"That's not enough for me"...

..like, how do you think that looks?
I didn't say,

"That's not enough for me."

I said that I didn't feel like
I learned anything about you.

You said, "If that's all you have
to give..."

Eliot, can't you just to look

at what I'm trying to say to you,
please?

I'm trying to say

that I feel like I don't - I didn't
learn anything about you.

Don't you want me to understand you?

Yes, I do.

OK, but then why aren't you
helping me with that?

You coming in here, saying,
"I'm disappointed..."

Oh, here we go again! Again!

You're just like a broken record,

saying the same thing
over and over again.

Yes, but...
I'm not interested

in having a boring repetitious
argument with you.

We can have a conversation if you're
willing to give me something new,

but otherwise, I'm not interested
in fighting with you over this.

You are not listening
to what I'm saying,

and so, therefore,
this conversation is over.

I'm done. I'm done. I'm done.
I'm done.

She was trying to make it about...

..like, "Oh, that wasn't about you,
it was about somebody else."

For me, it was so much worse
that it was my sister.

If it was me, I probably...

It probably wouldn't have affected
me as much.

It was the fact that...

..like, that was my younger sister,
my baby sister.

For her to just like be like,
"Oh, that's not enough,

"like, I wanted more."

It felt kind of surreal.

You going?

What does it look like?

I'm asking.

Maybe, maybe not.

Excuse me.

(OMINOUS SOUNDTRACK)

Do you want to tell me
what's going on?

Well, you were here
just a minute ago.

Why do I need to explain everything
to you? You're not a child.

Well, you...
Like, you were literally just here.

You cryptically said...
Like, what is confusing for you?

What are you confused about?

I'll tell you if you let me
get a word in.

Why do you think that I'm upset?

I don't want to play
guessing games. Tell me.

I'm asking you a question, Eliot.
Yeah.

Why do you think that I'm upset?

I... I would love to know.
Please inform me.

You cannot understand

what that - the whole point
of what I said to you tonight.

I don't feel like I learned
anything about you.

I... I would've loved to have know

why my most painful memory
isn't enough for you.

To think that I would pour
my heart out...

You poured your heart out, did you?
Yes. Yeah, yeah.

OK.
And you...

You poured your heart out?
Yeah.

Me pouring my heart out
is me pouring my heart out.

I didn't feel like I learned
anything about you.

Well, maybe that's to do
with your ability to listen

and to try to take on
what I'm saying.

Part of this experiment, right,

is us being able to empathise
with the other person

and say, right, that in their world,

that is them really, you know,
being vulnerable...

..and it's like,
"Oh, this isn't enough.

"That's not good enough."

Is that how I responded to you?

Yes.
When we sat on the couch,

that's how I responded to you?

Well, you didn't respond at all.

Yeah?
I did though.

Like, it's... It's... It's shocking.

Listen...
No.

I don't want to listen to you
anymore.

It's hard to believe
that that just happened.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

I just couldn't imagine diminishing
what is important to someone

in the way she just did.

NARRATOR: Coming up...

You all good?

Great.

NARRATOR: Tony has
a surprising revelation.

(EXHALES)

It's taken me a while to think
about it,

like, to register in my head
what I really, really want.

All this is coming together for me.

NARRATOR: As meet-the-family week
continues,

next to meet with their loved ones
are Jamie and Dave.

It's awesome to see youse.

It's nice to see you too, mate.

NARRATOR: Joining them today

are Dave's mum, Brenda,
and his best mate, Steve...

..and Jamie's mum, Vicki,
dad, Michael,

sister, Georgia, and aunt, Eleni.

So, overall, like, you guys
are happy?

Yeah, no, we are. We are.

Because we've been so honest
and really dug deep

and really had the hard
conversations,

it's sort of made these experiments
so much easier.

It was us putting in all the work

and getting to know each other,

and finding out the core values

and I think that's what built
everything.

One of my main things

was I wanted someone to make me feel
heard and seen.

And Jamie does that
and makes my soul smile.

Mick's got a little bit emotional,
I think.

I must admit, it's come
from left field.

Like, I wasn't expecting this.

Actually, I'm short of words.

I think the word
is I didn't anticipate

hearing what I heard today.

Jamie, being my daughter,

as long as she's happy,
you've won me over.

(LAUGHTER)

NARRATOR: With Jamie and Dave

feeling confident in their families'
approval,

Morena and Tony are hoping
that their friends-and-family meet

will bring back the positivity

they once shared
in their relationship.

It's nice.

So excited to be seeing them.

Should be a good... catch-up.

Because you haven't seen
your friends for a while,

so it'll be nice.
No, I haven't.

In a long time.

NARRATOR: Last time Morena and Tony
saw their friends

was at their wedding

where the couple
immediately hit it off.

Wow.

He's gorgeous!

That's... That's my wife! That's...

That's the woman
that I'm just about to marry.

Can we say our vows now 'cause
I'm excited to marry this lady.

(LAUGHTER)

NARRATOR: Since then, the couple
have had many ups and downs

throughout the experiment.

Just be a gentleman.

Stop head-locking me,
stop fist-pumping me,

and stop high-five...
Alright, I'll stop. I will stop.

I will stop, I will stop,
I will stop.

NARRATOR: But after an apology
from Tony...

Sorry.

..and some encouraging words
from the experts...

This is not
'Friends at First Sight'.

So, there needs to be progress.

..the couple are hoping their friends
can offer a fresh perspective

on their relationship.

(LAUGHTER)

Today, Morena and Tony will be
meeting with Tony's friends,

Danny and Georgia...

How are you?

..and Morena's friends, Mik and Jo...

(LAUGHTER)

..who were all at the wedding

to witness what looked like
a very promising beginning

for the couple.

Tony and Morena's wedding day...

Great day.

Hello.
Hi. How are you?

Tony's lots of fun
and he's a great character,

and I think he's got a zest for life,

so I think it'll be
really interesting

to make sure that that's translated
to Morena

and make sure that she's enjoying
that as much as we do.

Here is to the most unusual
experiment...

..I have ever partaked in
with a random stranger.

Thank you, honestly, all of you.

Thank you.

Thank you for being here.

Ladies, thank you for coming.
I wouldn't have it any other way.

Thank you. Cheers.

Everything's good.

DANNY: How are you doing, Morena?
Good?

No.

It's really tough.

Well, if you put yourself
in my shoes, you kind of go...

Oh, you're meant to bond.

He's got a rug

and he wants to shove everything
under the rug.

"I do not want to talk.

"I do not want to talk about issues
that really bother me."

And I do.

I'm not here to attack him.

I'm so honest with my feelings

and Tony, you don't realise

how much you hurt me.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

You just don't get it.
I do get it.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

Morena, she's...

She's not herself.

She's not herself.
She's not herself.

It's heartbreaking to us,
definitely.

It's heartbreaking
because I was there at the ceremony,

everything was terrific,

but something's changed.
Yeah, something's changed.

We need to just ask
a question, please.

Go ahead.

What changed?

Like, to me, it seems like from
"I like what I see,

"this is a beautiful moment",

to a total switch.

Has there been a switch?

Yes.

I'll tell you the switch.

You've seen Morena every day.
Yes.

Can you explain to me
Morena's personality?

How is she? Is she a happy
person or...

I want to know what she's like
towards you.

She's a frickin' knockout.

She walks in a room, stop.

People stop

and they just look at her.
Well, I'm looking for that Morena.

You're telling me she's
this beautiful, vibrant person,

and I... and I...
But if you haven't...

Tony, but if you haven't...
She's crying all the time.

If you haven't connected,
that hurts her.

Correct.
So, it's a vicious cycle.

Yeah, you have no idea the woman
that she really is.

I'm sorry, mate.

MORENA: He goes away
every weekend to Wollongong

and I walk the streets of Sydney
on my own.

So, that's really hard.

Yeah.
I cried and I cried and I cried

in the streets of Sydney.

That's not OK to do that to a person
who is grounded, driven.

I have worked seven years
to fix myself.

I didn't come on this experiment
to go backwards.

Why wouldn't you take her with you?

Because I like to have my time,
I like Tony time on weekends

or when I can get a chance.

That's just so cruel.

I think everybody has their natural
ways to decompress.

Like, you recharge by spending time
with people.

There are other people in the world

that just need to recharge
themselves.

See, if you want your own time,

you can't be in a relationship.

I feel - can I be honest, guys?

I feel like is it ever going to get
a point

where you can sort through

and actually live in the moment,
live right now?

This is what I'm looking for,
Georgia.

Tony's a very charismatic,
happy-go-lucky type of guy,

and Morena's such a big character
and a beautiful character,

but at the same time,
from my perspective,

she's just stuck focusing
on negative situations

rather than actually moving forward.

I dislike the fact that you're
not honest with me.

She just needs to let go
and enjoy the moment

because the more negatives,

the more Tony is going to retreat
into his corner

and that's just Tony's character.

What's a woman meant to feel?

I just want you to understand that.

So, it's really sad

because I feel like they're not
actually giving themselves a go

to develop a solid foundation
and build from there.

Tony, I know you as a person.

You're a very charismatic,

energy-filled, young loving person,

and I think what Tony's looking for
is fun.

You don't know him
in a relationship scenario.

I expected more than just fun.

Because up until now,
he's just been giving me head-locks.

Maybe that his way
of getting close to you

and building a connection with you.

That's still not OK.

Don't ever, ever,
even if you think it's funny.

That's not funny.
That's not funny.

Josephine and Mik both said
no head-locks

'cause it's not actually funny.

So, I'm actually feeling
better about that.

It's just my way of affection.
No, no.

It's just - and I've apologised
to her.

Although I've allowed him
to make me feel this way,

just through actions, words, acts,
you know, not being here,

you know, all little dribs
and drabs,

it was good to hear I'm a fun person
before I came into this experiment.

I was doing cartwheels.

And now, I'm dragging my feet.

But if he respects me
for the woman that I am,

maybe I can be myself

and I can, you know, match him
with some fun.

For whatever reason,
she's being really expressive.

Where's that personality here?
That's what I'm looking for.

It was taken from me, Tony.
From who?

You.
I took your personality?

I told you on the couch
the other night.

Why - how did I take it from you?
Nobody has made me feel,

in such a short time,
the way you have.

How? How?
Yeah, wanted to do, Tony?

How?
What did you do?

We need to know, mate?
Because I block you?

I don't give you the time?

No, no, forget those things.
I don't compliment you?

No, sorry.
I don't touch you?

What is it? What's bothering you...
No, no. No, no. No, no.

..that I took your personality away?
I want to know.

Yeah.
Tony...

Since when was this, mate?
Since when did that start?

Yeah, we need to know.
When I told you...

Since he made me feel...

You were gutted when you found out
I was 57.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Tony, you were gutted
when you found out I was 57.

You were this on the wedding,

you were this, you were this,
you were this,

until I said, "I'm not 40."

You just went...

And I just went...

You didn't?
No, I did not.

You didn't.
I did not.

Age is really nothing.

What it all comes down to for me
is just her personality.

It doesn't matter
that you've disappointed me

or that you've made me sad, OK?

The fact that he's still here,
he gets a big, a big tick.

Huge, 'cause he could've gone.

But Tony, you are emotionally
unavailable.

All I need...

TONY: I've tried everything
just to make her happy.

But once again, she's really upset
and angry all the time,

so it's actually draining me.

We spoke about this
with the experts.

Morena, can I just say something,
please?

Sure.

No relationship is perfect.

You're the personality that you are.

Tony might be a little bit
more withdrawn.

He doesn't want to discuss.
"Stop talking."

"I don't want to discuss
about these things."

No, hold on. Hear me out.
Hear me out.

Because you work things out.

But only if you want it to work out

'cause if you don't want it
to work out,

and I'm good to look
at you now, Tony,

if you don't want it to work out,
mate, forget it.

Morena had so much hope
in finding the right one

or at least finding somebody
she could build something with,

and I really don't think
that's what's happening

because there was a massive shift
in Tony's attitude towards her.

Tony, can we possibly have a word
with you, please?

So, I think it's best to speak
to Tony.

Ask questions.
We're gonna ask the question.

OK, Tony.

This is like the Italian,
Melbourne Italian mafia.

Please, Tony, we need to...

Do you like Morena?

Um...

As a person, of course, I care
about her.

OK.
You know what I mean?

Um...

But to me, we're just going
to be friends.

She's a beautiful lady,

but just the personality
is not there for me.

But Tony, unfortunately,
this experiment

has turned her, her emotions
into such a manner.

I'm sorry, but we have
to say that.

She might be different
to her friends on the outside,

which is not how she is here

and what's it take for her
to be herself,

you know, and I'm just over it, man.
Really over it.

(EXHALES)

But hold on, are you just stopping
yourself

to the point that you're not
allowing yourself

to possibly bring out more emotion,

that possibly there could be
something there?

Um...

Romantically, I am not that way
inclined.

You don't think you'll ever...

You don't think...

It's not going to blossom
into anything, put it that way.

OK, is that 'cause of her age?
Is that your issue?

You're 53, she's 57.

You are young.

Just allow it.
That's it.

'Cause that's right.
No, we do.

You know what? Just keep
a little bit of spark.

That's it. That is it.

And you're not doing it, mate,
and really...

You know what the thing is?

When I came in, I wanted someone
that was a bit younger than me,

that was still going to have kids
and maybe had a kid that was...

Oh, so this changes things.
..that I could help raise.

Always wanted to have a child.

Um...

It would be nice.

So, that's what I, that's what I...
That changes things.

(CHUCKLES)

I've never probably spoken
to Morena about that

because it's taken me a while
to think about it all,

like to register in my head
what I really, really want.

It's just a Tony thing. (CHUCKLES)

Yeah.

Yeah. You've got to tell her.

That's how you've made her feel.
Yeah.

But if you're honest, she'll go,

"Well, fair enough, he wants kids.
I can't do that."

Now that you've explained that
to me...

Yeah, he's actually said reasoning.

..I think, well, that's
a valid point.

We came here to just, to discover
what has happened.

I think we've achieved that.
I think we have.

Yeah. Because his hope
is to have children

and that's the reason
that he was hesitant

because he knows that that's
not possible with Morena.

Glad you said that
'cause that's when I pulled up,

and I bet you... And that's fair
and you know what?

It's not your fault,
it's not her fault.

Correct, correct.
It is what it is.

I think he's realised it himself

that that's what the thing
that put him off,

that was the core of it.

So, if that's the case,
they need to, yeah...

Move on.
..they need to move on.

Someone was hungry here.
They ate everything.

Oh, my god. You left us nothing!

(LAUGHTER)
Nothing!

Get over here.
Jesus!

We needed to decompress. (LAUGHS)

You all good?

Great.

We just hope the best of the best
as to how it all will unfold.

After talking to Mik and Josephine,

they helped me realise
that I would love to have a child.

All this is coming together for me.

So, the plan is to explain to Morena
about how I'm feeling

and what I want.

Maybe that will give her a reason

of, you know, why I think
it's probably coming to an end.

And I hope she won't feel rejected.

She has kids, she'll understand it

and she will let go.

You've got to open your mouth
and say what we talked about.

Tell her exactly how you feel.

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

NARRATOR: Back at their apartment...
(DOOR OPENS)

..Tony is preparing to share
his big realisation

from his conversation
with Morena's friends today.

I am a little bit nervous
to talk to Morena

about how I feel for me
having a child.

But I spoke to her friends about it,

and they said she'll probably
respect you more

for telling her that,

and that way she won't feel rejected

because I have reasons

for not being, you know,
with an older woman.

So, I want to be completely honest
with Morena

because I think it's coming
to that stage

where, you know, we both fist-bump
each other and...

(LAUGHS)

..and tap out.

I'll take my shoes off.

Yeah.

I think we've got
the same coloured socks.

Anyway, how did you find everything?
Was it good?

Yeah.

Did you take some of their advice
on board?

Certainly, I did.

You did?

What did the girls say to you?

Oh, when they pulled me up?

Yeah.

We just spoke

They asked me if I...

..how I feel towards you.

You know, is it gonna get anywhere
or are we just going to be friends?

"Tell me what's the real problem,
what's the..."

"Well, it's the connection,
it's a lot of stuff like that."

And she said, you know,
"Be honest, what's the real reason?"

I said, you know what?
I want to think about it.

Um...

It's because I've never had
a kid before.

I've always wanted to...

You've had that.
You have two beautiful kids.

I've never had that

and I've always wanted to have that.

So, that makes it hard for me

to really fall for somebody
that's older

and, you know...

It's just... It's how I feel.

I just - that's how I feel.
You've never said that.

I've always thought about it.

Tony and I have been
on this experiment

for weeks and weeks and weeks,

and he's never uttered a word...

..that he wants to have a baby.

Where did it come from?

Poof!

He's done everything
to try and push me away

and now, "Well, I've just realised,
I want to have a baby."

Serious?

You're 53!

Very strange,
it doesn't add up.

That would have been very easy
to say from the start.

But maybe I just didn't think
too much into it

and now, kind of when she said...

When we spoke about it,
it kind of...

..made sense to me, so...

I don't really believe that Tony
doesn't know what he wants,

but all I know is you can't help
the way you feel

when someone tells you something,

and his delivery to me...

I'm not buying it.

So, it's the only missing piece
of the puzzle in my life.

It ain't gonna happen
with a 57-year-old.

It is totally fine
that he's not into me.

Say it.

Because if anything,
he's disrespected me again.

Making up this, this sweet little
story that, "I want to reproduce."

Clearly, I can't reproduce.

My stamp, you know, expired.

There we are. That's how I feel.

Hmm.

Tony has blindsided me.

He's lied to me,
and I don't deserve that.

Hell, no.

So, I don't know where to from here

because now I have no respect
for him. Not at all.

(SIGHS)

Well, tell you what, it was good
to see them.

Yes, it was.

NARRATOR: While Morena tries to
understand Tony's latest revelation,

down the hall, Veronica is returning
to her apartment...

(KNOCK ON DOOR)
..to speak with her husband, Eliot...

One sec!
..after their earlier confrontation.

Hello?

Eliot and I have been apart

and so, I've had some time to think
about the argument.

I probably understand now
that he's very sensitive

and so, I'm just curious to hear,
like, what his side of it is.

How are you?
Yeah, I'm OK. How are you?

Yeah, good.

Good?
I'm a bit...

..like, confused
as to what's going on.

Hmm.

You know, like I feel like
I don't know where I stand

a little bit with you.

But I want to hear from you as well.

Like, what are your thoughts?
Like, where are you at?

I just want to hear... I just want
to hear your side first

and then I'll say my piece,

'cause I feel like you were quite
upset by what I said previously...

..and that obviously
didn't go great,

so I just want to give you
the floor.

So, like...
So, do you want to talk about it?

Yeah, yeah.
Great.

Um, yeah, so I felt like
I really opened up to you,

I talked about something

that was a really traumatic memory
of mine

and it felt like you were trying
to communicate to me

that I wasn't opening up to you.

The argument that we ended up
having,

like, you are obviously
not satisfied

with the outcome of that exercise,

is what I got from what you were
saying.

So, I want to hear from your side,

like, explain, you know...

..what happened.

Thank you for the detailed
description

of how I should communicate
with you. I appreciate that.

I was trying to tell you how I was
feeling and you were upset.

Should've just left it
and I pushed it.

I'll just... Just let me finish.

OK.
Um...

I'm having, like, a visceral
reaction to being met with nothing.

So, what was communicated
to me exactly that night?

Well, what I... I...

Just tell me, just tell me
really simply

so we're not over complicating it
or going around in circles.

Yeah, I'm trying to.

Whether, you know, I articulate it
as well as you

or whether I go into as much detail
as you,

the fact that I'm able to open up
to you

about that particular memory,

for me, is like being vulnerable
to you.

(SIGHS)

Does that sound...
Let's go back.

Let's go right back.
Yeah.

When we did the line-up...
I'm not talking about that.

..the wedding line-up...
I'm talking about the letter.

I am. I'm allowed to talk about it.

OK.
OK. Thank you.

Sorry, it's just my turn
to talk now.

So, when we do - when we did
the wedding line-up...

..I didn't further understand you,

and I guess, that's my goal.

And then we got
the confession letter.

Again, met with nothing.

I don't have a single thing
that I can say, that was...

"I'm so glad he shared that
with me

"'cause it just gave me this tiny
little nugget of something."

Like, I didn't feel like I got
anything from that story.

Well...
And I don't understand

based on that, and I can't...
I want to...

Because this is important that,
you know, what happened happened.

So, I'm going to grab the letter

and I'm going to talk to you
about some things

and I want to see what it is
about it that you're saying,

you know, doesn't tell you
anything about me.

"So, the impact this memory
has on me..."

And I'm reading it off the page.

"..is I never want to be overwhelmed
by emotion."

"Like anyone..."

Let me, let me say it.

"Like anyone, I feel things,

"I just do my best to identify
and understand the emotion

"rather than be controlled by it."

That... I just...

Nothing about that says

how I was affected by this?
No, this is...

No! No.

I didn't learn anything about you.

It didn't really have much
to do about you.

You were there, you may have
witnessed it,

and it may have had
some kind of effect on you,

but you didn't tell me
what that effect was.

Like, how has this affected you?

I don't understand...
Can I, can I just

pull you up on something?
You're interrupting me.

I don't understand your experience

and that's what we're here
to understand,

so we can get to know each other.

So, there's a few times
you keep saying,

"It's someone else's story,
it didn't happen to you", right?

The story is worse for me

that it happened to someone
that I care about more than myself.

My sister means more to me
than myself, so...

I didn't know that. You haven't
mentioned that in the story.

Yeah, but you can't understand that.
It's not possible...

But I can't imagine that
unless you tell me.

There's no way of me knowing
this information about your life

unless you tell it to me.

But you just...
Do you think that's unreasonable?

Yes, because you're...
You think it's unreasonable

that I don't know facts about
your life without you sharing it?

Yeah.
Oh, Eliot...

You're presuming that I...

I'm with my sister
that I don't care about.

That's not what I'm presuming.

You just said it's somebody else.
But there's no way

that I possibly know these facts
about your life unless you tell me.

I find it really difficult
to communicate with V.

I was shocked that she can't relate
with me

about how I would feel
more about my sister's health

and my sister's life than my own.

Look, I'm explaining what happened
to me in my words

and you're saying, "I didn't get
anything from your words."

What happened to you?

I was shattered, like, I thought
it was like...

Yeah, it was one of the worst
memories of my life...

Right.
..and for you to just sit there

and say, "I didn't get anything
out of that."

That's not what I said.

For you to say, "I don't know
anything more about you from that."

That's not what I said either.

I would appreciate it if you don't
put words in my mouth

and just used the words
that I've actually used

instead of making up stories.
OK, so put it in your words then.

I didn't feel

that I had gained an additional
understanding of you, Eliot.

That's literally just what I've
just paraphrased.

Don't paraphrase my words.

(OMINOUS SOUNDTRACK)

For you to just sit there and say,

"I didn't get anything out of that."

That's not what I said.

For you to say, "I don't know
anything more about you from that."

That's not what I said either.

I would appreciate it if you don't
put words in my mouth

and just used words
that I've actually used

instead of making up stories.
OK, so put it in your words then.

I didn't feel

that I had gained an additional
understanding of you, Eliot.

That's literally just what I've just
paraphrased.

Don't paraphrase my words.

I really feel like I'm trying

to, um, you know, sort of meet her
in the middle.

Yeah, just a lot of communication
blocks.

She has a lot of, um, defensive
mechanisms in place

when I try to talk to her openly.

I'm met with a lot of passive
aggressiveness and a lot of sarcasm,

you know, a lot of overreaction.

No matter how you look at it,
this is me opening up, OK?

Right?

Do you think someone that's trying
to open up to you,

do you think the best way
to encourage them to do it more

is to come in and yell at them
about it?

OK.

What else?

Well, what do you think about that?

I'm just listening, Eliot.

I don't want to interrupt you.
You've got the floor.

Well, so, so, the way I look at it
is if someone is trying

to, you know, engage with you,

don't say, you know,
"I'm not getting

"any meaningful understanding
of you",

and do it in a way,

do it in a way where you feel like
you're being ripped off. Like...

No, I don't feel like I'm being
ripped off.

I was just trying to communicate
with you.

See, the way that you say that,

it's like I'm talking to someone
that hates my guts.

You think I am talking to you

in a way that demonstrates
that I hate your guts?

When you ask rhetorical questions,
you're trying to reframe it

as you're the person of authority...

..and I'm just answering
your questions.

Just talk to me
like a normal person.

What is it exactly that I can do?

Yeah, OK, number one,

you can be more open
with your communication.

I need to be open
with my communication?

See, you just did it again.
So, you're just an example...

Do you notice how I say
something direct, right?

I'm just trying to understand.

That's why I say it back to you,

so I make sure
that I have understanding.

No, repeating it back to me
in a really condescending tone...

I'm not saying it condescendingly.
..is not trying to understand me.

This is just my voice...
Well...

..and I'm just remaining calm.

The way that you communicate with me
comes across as resentful

and I'm saying...
Well, let me clear the air.

I think we've hit a road bump.
Hmm.

I think I've seen sides of you
that I don't like, my walls are up.

Hmm.
I'm not...

I don't trust you.
OK, so your walls are up?

100%. Are you kidding me?
Yes, OK.

Well, that's all I was trying
to agree on.

The way you spoke to Lauren,
the way you spoke to Lauren

that night at the dinner party...
Yeah, OK.

The way you spoke to other people,
the way you conducted yourself

got my walls up.

So, so, so, you just mentioned...

What else?

You mentioned how I spoke to Lauren.

I... So, I want to elaborate
on that.

I apologised.
Sorry, I have no idea

what we're talking about anymore.

We're talking about us.
I really don't.

We're just talking about us.
I really have no idea

what we're talking - we just
cannot stay

on one straight line...

No, we are getting
to the root of the issue.

..of communication
and find a solution.

I don't trust you.
Yeah.

I will not apologise for that and
that is the truth. When I come in...

No, that's good. That's good
that you're telling me this.

Just let me finish speaking
please, if you can.

It's not just, like, one thing.
It's like multiple things

that have all compounded now...
Yeah.

..and the tasks
are just the cherry on top.

See, I feel like now we're actually
getting somewhere,

we are actually able to communicate
things.

Like, why wasn't this something that
you brought up in the beginning?

Like, why...
Because I was giving you time

and space and grace.
Yeah. OK.

Yeah, to adjust. But you haven't.
Assume...

Just assume that I can handle
the truth.

You can't handle the truth, Eliot.

I literally came in here
and told you

how your letter made me feel
and you blew up.

Like, it's actually hilarious.

It's like, "I can handle the truth",

and I'm trying to talk to you
and you just lose your mind,

so I don't want to sit here
and argue.

This is giving me a headache,
my neck hurts.

So, you're doing the same thing
as last time.

We're just going around
in circles.

No, we're not!

We just got to this thing
about how you don't trust me.

Don't raise your voice at me.

Do not raise your voice at me.

We literally just...
Do not raise your voice at me.

You're just screaming
in my face now.

I've had enough. I'm not screaming
in your face.

I'm setting a boundary.

Do not raise your voice at me.
I have been so civil with you

and now we are going around
in circles,

and you are being unreasonable,

and I will not tolerate it.
You're being really civil.

This is so civil.
No, I've had enough.

This is so civil.
I've had enough.

Good luck, Eliot!

(PENSIVE SOUNDTRACK)

I don't have a key to this door.

You OK?
Yeah.

Thank you.

(BLEEP) psychopath.

Yep. I'm fine.

I just... I just can't...
I just can't...

Like, we're not getting anywhere.

It's... It's...

That conversation, to me,
finally started to feel productive.

Yeah, it just kind of felt like

she's not wanting to have
that conversation.

That's what it felt like.

As soon as the conversation
started moving

in a difficult but a necessary
direction,

she blew up and walked out.

It's kind of funny. I thought I was
supposed to be the guarded one.

Like...

How does it... How...

I don't know how I'm meant
to deal with someone like that.

Like, I really don't. Like, I was
trying everything, like...

I couldn't make myself smaller
if I tried.

Like, I really...

One thing that she said
was that she has her walls up

and she doesn't trust me.

Like, she just came out
and said it point-blank.

And I wanted to say to her,
like, thank you for telling me that.

Like, that's... I don't take that
the wrong way.

Like, that... That was hard to say
but important to say,

so that we can talk about it
and work to resolve it.

If it's just something
that's she's keeping to herself

and it being unsaid

and just kind of passively
aggressively

being communicated to me,
I can't do anything with that.

Now that you've, you know, admitted
that you've got your walls up,

you don't trust me, how do we get
beyond this?

You know, that's the next question.

NARRATOR: Tomorrow night...

MAN: Dinner is served.

PAUL: It's making me nervous
coming in to the group now

because I'm going to admit
to everyone what I've done.

(GLASS CLINKING)

PAUL: I did something
that I absolutely regret.

NARRATOR: What shocking act...

It's unacceptable, it's disgusting,

and I'm hating myself
for doing this.

..threatens to tear apart

one of the experiment's
strongest couples?

I...

Um...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

JOHN: This is very serious.

Very, very, very serious.
