Original subtitles

So he is. He gives me shit about my business. And now he's spending all his

fucking time trying to take it away from me. He could take half of everything

we'll fit. Half of what?

He's looking to buy a house. Mum had a kid.

Himself? A bastard kid. The kid was Gary.

My father is a heartless bastard and he's trying to kill my husband.

Bring Milt home now.

Why? He's having a great time.

Let's go to bed and take our chance then.

Well, what do you reckon?

I don't make them like this anymore.

There's a reason for that.

Wait till you have a look around here.

Do we have to?

It's like we're going to anywhere.

Hold on.

She's got great bones.

Shame about the face.

Oh, lick of paint.

But a wallpaper will get Van and Munty to work on a deck.

You're not serious.

Yeah, we can shake Jethro's while we fix her up.

She's great.

Plenty of room for everyone.

And who would this be exactly?

Family.

So your kids can come for sleepovers?

Yeah, if they want.

And what about our kids?

Plenty of time for that.

This is my investment too.

I know.

So?

I bet you want this.

All right, let's get on with it.

Honey, how was it?

Here was me thinking you were at Milt's funeral and all the time you were at a

beekeeping conference.

Oi. What are you on about?

Aren't widows supposed to wear black?

Black is so dark. So sad.

Which is how people tend to feel after funerals. Well, this one was more of a

celebration. I'll be right.

Of Milt's achievements.

His life.

Even though he doesn't have one anymore.

You all right, honey?

Yeah, I'm great.

I'm wonderful.

And I know that you're sad that you missed out, but that's okay because I'm

going to have a memorial for Milt here.

Great. And carry on his work.

And what, property, munitions?

No, my series dummy.

Well, why bother when you've got the cash?

Well, there is no cash.

Shit, he was bent.

Who said Milt was bent?

Dad.

No.

There is no money because the will is in probate.

But the important thing here is moving on. Yeah, find the next poor sucker.

Grandpa! Bloody women!

Don't worry about him, though.

He's being far to everyone.

He's acting like it's my fault.

Well, there was the killer bod factor.

I think it's two.

Oh, I can change you.

I can look after you all day if you want.

Really? You're a star.

And I can take care of Grandpa, too.

Well, one thing at a time, huh?

I know. It's all healing, fighting the joy and positive, even in a time of

grieving.

Oh, Sal.

We're home.

Dad, I got some bagels and shit here if you want some.

We're alone.

Are you sure?

Yep, it's not for tomorrow.

What? This is my teenage.

Grab me six while Mum and Dad are out. Yep.

The others don't normally parade around with no knickers on.

Sure he does that?

Yep.

Oh, that is gross.

Now you parading around with no knickers on.

That's good.

You can have that any time you want, you know.

Oh, yeah?

Mm -hmm.

There's a movie.

Okay. Yeah, I know you're worried about your dad. No, no. Are you serious about

that?

Yeah, I'd like it.

Waking up with you.

Not having to be teenage.

It's just the thing with Mom, and at least with Dad here, I know what he's up

to. Yeah, I have to break free of him sometime.

Yeah, probably.

Just think about it.

All right.

No! We're interrupting.

All right, guys.

We need a moment.

Moment's good.

Good, because we're celebrating.

We just got ourselves a house.

Oh, you bought one?

You're very interested.

Look, you need a hand with the paperwork.

Thought you were too flesh to help out your old man.

Can't wait to get rid of us.

You got me?

But yeah, look, if you need any help, just give me the details.

Oh, haven't you changed it soon?

Bye. Fuck it. Cheryl, I swear I had nothing to do with it. I haven't been

on the phone in China or any country that speaks Chinese.

What's it doing here? I don't know. Who knows?

Yeah? Know anything about a huge fucking container parked in my doorway?

It's arrived.

Good timing.

How is a large metal box jamming up my doorway? Good timing.

Our doorway, Cheryl.

And it'll be gone soon. What's in it?

Can't say. Why not?

Because it's not mine. I'm holding onto it for a friend. Gary bloody savage.

Did I say that?

You didn't have to. What's in it?

It's none of your business.

Relax, Cheryl. Go sew some thongs.

Problem?

Your mother on the phone and there's a problem?

Hey.

Can you take care of those papers today?

Yep. Sweet as.

More leopards good?

Your bloody father and Gary are up to something.

Yeah, I got that impression.

Fuck, I so want him out of my life.

Well, you're nearly there.

How?

It's buying a house.

Six hundred grand, unconditional.

As soon as it's signed up, you go in for half.

Yeah, but he'll still come gunning for me, won't he?

Yeah, and then we bargain.

It's okay, Mum.

You got him.

A shipping container. Those are serial numbers.

Oh, let me guess.

Casey got pissed because he was Becker's son.

It's got nothing to do with Casey. It's bloody Wolf.

Wolf?

What did he just say?

He will help.

What do you want to know?

Who, where, what, why.

Mainly what.

And why.

Definitely who.

You could ring the trucking company.

Whatever's in that container is definitely on the Dodge. If I ring, I'll

connected.

You wouldn't want that, would you?

It's enough out of you.

Still want me on this?

I'm happy to pay.

Make it a beer.

It'll be my pleasure.

Who is it?

Only me. I brought you a cup of tea.

What do you want?

Well, I wanted to invite you to a little memorial I'm having for melt.

I hardly knew the bugger.

What's this, homo tea?

No, it's peppermint. It's karmic.

What's the point in that?

Look, Grandpa, I know what's going on here.

I know that you seeing me as a widow makes you think of Grandma and the pain

her passing.

I'm sorry she's dead, that's for sure.

I know, and I understand.

It means I can't bloody kill her.

You don't mean that.

Grandpa, I am here for you. We all are. Me, even Loretta.

She's the worst of the lot.

Really?

But she's your favourite.

Spitting image of your grandmother.

She'll come to no good.

Oh, but Grandpa... Bugger off and stop trying to poison me.

It was a Christmas present.

You just shake it and you'd be able to guess what was in it.

You shake a Christmas present?

Yeah. You just feel it and you go, oh shit, it's a book.

Don't you do that?

Come on, let's open it.

No, we can't. You know you want to.

Guess who the container's registered to. Who? You.

What? Well, hoochie mama. It's ours. We can open it.

Gee, we've got to leave.

Anything else?

It originated from China.

Documentation says manufactured goods.

Got the obligatory fumigation from meth.

But more importantly, it got the all clear.

What, so hunky -dory?

You asked me to help, I'm helping. You're not even looking at the thing.

Cheryl, if this thing contains anything of concern, then it would be being

watched.

Fuck.

Although, you know, I can't see anyone, but... Could be doing what honest

containers do, which is contain.

Yeah, really? With Wolf involved?

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Moments like these, any one of these. Wow, what's that?

Oh, it's a gas tank. Yeah, we just got it brand new. It's digging in. Break

pad bolt off in no time. Wait, what are you doing?

Responding to a call. Come on, Cher, you know you want to know what's in it. No,

I don't want to know.

It could be something really amazing like free shit. No, it'll be dodgy shit,

and we don't want any association with that. I saw that look. We really want to

use a gas tank. Take it somewhere else.

I'll deal with this from now on. Thank you.

Excuse me.

You tell me what's in that fucking container right now.

Nice to see you too, Cheryl.

Like I said, none of your business. Oh, it is, since you put it in the name of

my business.

Our business?

Do you think I'm some kind of mug?

Is getting into my business some kind of route for you and Gary Savage to fence

stolen shit?

Nothing's stolen in there. You can tell Gary Savage where to get off. And

nothing to do with Gary Savage?

Then who?

None of your business. Who?

We're holding it for my brother.

Okay.

If it belongs to your brother, what's it doing in Hoochie Mama's name?

Nicky needed to get that container off the wharf and we had some space out

front. It's that simple.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have business to attend to.

I want it gone.

It will be. Better fucking be.

I was thinking of Paul.

Great.

I've got those papers for you.

So, have you seen your mother lately?

What do you ask?

Oh, I thought she might have come to you for advice.

You talk.

She's my mother.

As it should be.

Got to have respect for women, Jethro.

We wouldn't be here without them.

That one of yours, that Danielle, she's a keeper.

Yeah, I think so.

Loyalty, family.

Whatever comes down, that's the bottom line.

You've got the name wrong on this.

No, the window's name's McQuilter, right?

Where it says purchaser, Wolfgang West.

Should be Cherie.

Cherie Gregan.

Hang on, I thought you were buying the house.

Well, I've decided to put it in her name.

Is that wise?

Makes sense from where I'm standing. Yeah, but Dad, you can't... I trust her.

And what's it to you, anyway?

Well, it's the illegal cow, so I just don't think it's very... The house is

going to be in Cherie's name because that is what's best for me.

Right.

You can tell her that if you like.

Who?

I already told you, Jethro, I don't blame you.

But don't treat me like I'm a fuckwit.

Make the changes.

Cherie can sign tonight.

You're shitting me.

I sure was.

Putting it in that tart's name?

The fuck was he thinking?

Well, he knew.

Thought he'd figured it out, however he did it.

There's a way ahead of us.

I might have said something.

I'll track down everything you bloody own and I'll take half of it, so bring

fucking on!

Jesus Christ. Mum, you were supposed to keep your cool. I know, he just... He

just gets to me the way he has to have his way all the fucking time. Tell me

about it.

God, I stuffed up.

Okay, look, if he stays with her, eventually the house will become a

relationship property, right? You can still go home. Oh, yeah, the wrangling,

that's all I fucking need.

Or not.

What are you thinking?

Just leave it to me, all right?

No, it's anything.

Mum, finish your drink and go home.

It'll all look different in the morning.

Truck came, took it away.

Who? I don't know.

Truck driver.

Wow. Good riddance.

Yeah, but now we'll never know what was in it.

You know, like a Christy present with the wrong name on it.

So can you guys still be hoochie, Mama?

Depends on who's asking.

Where's the container?

Gone, thankfully.

I was kind of expecting to find a container, which is why I brought a

truck with a space on it.

Well, maybe you need to talk to Wolfgang West about that.

Wolf?

Sorry, you are?

Disappointed.

You don't happen to have a sister called Cherie, do you?

The only sister I got.

Nikki's the name.

I'm sorry to take up your time, ladies.

What?

He's the Grogan's brother.

I'm here to pick up the box, but apparently you've got it.

No. You didn't pick it up.

What'd I just say?

Okay, well, that's a problem.

I'll deal with it.

Good.

So, you just warn us to wait.

Just guard the container, Van, like I told you.

And for how long?

As long as I need you.

So you just want us to... Stand around here like a couple of tools.

Dude, you can't use tools as an insult anymore, remember?

It's for Mum, okay?

And you don't want us to open it? No.

Just stay here, keep an eye on it, till I tell you to go.

I'll sort it like surveillance.

You got it.

And this will help Mum.

Hugely.

Alright.

Okay. We'll do it.

But we're doing it for her, not for you. Whatever works for you, Van.

Well, that works for me, actually, Jethro.

Great.

Hey.

Waiting.

Watching.

You tell it to print, and... Oh, yeah.

You know, it's a waste of time, you having this computer, when you don't

how to use it.

You want me to give it to you?

You could.

Uh, it's milk.

So?

So, no wonder Grandpa thinks you're heartless and evil.

No, he doesn't.

Well, actually, I didn't want to tell you because it's negative, but he

absolutely hates you.

And did you find this out after the healing or before?

No, he's not healed, not yet.

But he hates you and not me.

Hello?

Where's your mother?

In her room.

What's this?

This is an invitation to a service for my dead husband.

Righto.

Shit. Do you mind?

Where's the fucking container?

You've got it. Don't piss me about it, Cheryl. Where is it?

I thought you'd finally done what I said and got rid of the fucking thing.

You don't know where it is?

No.

Don't know. Don't care.

If you're in the shit over some deal, it's not my problem.

If you hear anything.

Why would I go out of my way to help you?

She was a slut and a liar.

A rank deceiver.

When have I deceived you?

You will.

You're a bad egg.

It's in the bone.

This is so unfair.

Bugger off.

I hate Rita too, you know.

There you go.

Lies and deceit. No, I do.

I used to idolise her, but... After knowing what she did to you...

And whoever that guy was who knocked her up... He would have been nothing on

you.

Not a patch.

It could kill a man, you know.

That kind of hurt.

Yeah.

If you're going to hate anyone...

I'd go for Pascal.

Congratulations.

You are now the proud owner of an unconditional contract on a house in

Jorgensen.

Thanks a fucking bunch. Don't mention it.

We should never have had it delivered there in the first place.

Cherie, later.

This wouldn't be a large metal box parked out front of Hoochie Mama by any

chance.

What do you know about that?

Hurry upstairs.

Oh, I do as you're fucking told.

What do

you know about that container?

Where it is?

You took it?

Oh, you did what?

I'll get your stuff back.

Now, why would you do a silly thing like that? Well, you've got to have respect

for women. Oh,

so Mummy put you up to it. No, strangely enough, I thought it up all by myself.

See, what's inside that container is clearly important to you, just like

house and her business is important to her, right?

Now we're clear on that.

What the fuck is that?

Relationship property settlement agreement.

You keep your house, Mum keeps hers.

No one takes half of anyone's anything.

You sign that, we'll get your little box back.

You little bastard.

No, no.

I'm your son. Pretty fucking sure on that.

So you finally grew some balls, eh?

Big ones.

Family's the bottom line, right, Dad?

Yeah, take your time.

Just one little look, then you close it up again.

I mean, you don't buy gear sticks and not use it, that's rude.

And your mum, you'd want to know.

Ricky's dead.

Never known your mum to be big on exercise.

Maybe she could start.

She could start one of those running things.

What the fuck?

What the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck?

What the

fuck?

Let's go!

KG? It's like I'm in KG, man!

Oh, fuck.

Whoa.

What's that?

Little shots of vodka?

Just tremble alone.

Tremble alone.

I heard of that.

Russian word.

No, dude, that's steroids.

Oh,

it's muscle shit.

No, no, no, man.

It's steroids, man. We don't touch it.

Throw this evil shit, man, and make your dick shrink.

And you'll grow a giant clit.

Really? It's nasty shit, man. We stay right away.

Time to go.

Okay, Jethro.

What? Before we go, are you sure you don't want to know what's inside?

No, I told you. Just go, right? And leave the place unlocked.

Cool, because we've got stuff to do.

Go do it, then.

We will, and not because you tell us to.

He's walking away?

I don't get it.

You sign that, he's got no claim over you anymore.

How in hell did you manage to get him to go for this?

Uh... Just a quick game of hide the container.

You took it?

Yep.

He's going to leave shit lying around.

What was in it?

I don't know.

Don't care.

The leverage we needed.

So now it's your turn.

What do you want to do?

How do you take it?

Not too thrilled.

Oh, shit, you bloody genius.

No worries here for you, Mum.

Oh, fuck, don't I know it.

All right, all right, all right, all right.

Mind it, woman.

French champagne.

You bet.

I got him.

For the first time in my life, I got him.

I thought this was about your mum.

Whatever. I feel fucking fantastic.

Sorry, mate. Sorry.

I promise.

When I move in, no swearing.

Really?

Yeah. Unless you change your mind.

What? No.

But isn't your dad moving out?

Nah. He'll be there for months.

He's got renos, so who cares?

Okay, get it.

But we are definitely working on the phone thing when you move in. All right.

Dad.

So who's the smartass?

What? Get over here now.

It's too late to change your mind, Dad. The agreement's already certified.

I don't give a flying shit about that. You get over here now.

What?

It's one thing to grow a set of bulls, Jethro, but you do not fuck with me

You got your stuff back. It's what you wanted.

And what about what was inside it?

Well, I never opened it.

Bullshit. It's true.

Who did you get to shift it?

You are.

My brother, Nicky.

Yeah, Wolf was looking after that container for me and some associates.

They're keen to get that stuff back.

All right.

Make some inquiries.

I need answers.

The only one that's going to work is getting that stuff back.

Yep, make some inquiries.

You opened it, didn't you?

No, you told us not to.

Don't dick me around, Van. What was in the container?

Okay, okay, no need to shout.

Man, aggressive.

Yes, we did have a little peek inside.

No, but it's a good thing we did, Jed, because Mum could have got herself in a

whole heap of shit.

Not to mention physical deformities.

Giant clips.

We haven't got time for your stone bullshit right now, OK?

It was gym gear, OK?

Exercise stuff.

We could call it that.

And you guys stole it. No, we put it back exactly where it was, mostly.

Yeah, we put the gear back, but we didn't put back the gear that was in the

gear.

Ban.

It was drugs, Jed.

Okay? Real bad ones, man.

Someone was trying to set Mum up.

There's drugs in it.

Not anymore, eh?

Cool, because we've got stuff to do.

Go do it, then.

We will, and not because you tell us to.

We're on.

It's English, your second language, you idiot.

I told you not to touch anything. No.

You said to look out for Mum. It wasn't Mum's fucking container, dickhead.

No, but I thought... You said... Don't think, Van, because when you do,

everything turns to shit.

What's his fucking problem?

I'm going over to invite Jethro.

Why can't you just ring him?

Because it's a nice day for a walk and everyone has come, especially Grandpa.

He's okay.

No, he's not. He's in a caravan of pain.

Actually, he's in the bathroom and he's okay. I talked to him.

You?

But he hates you. And I hate Grandma, so we're fine.

Rita, it is not healing.

It's not positive.

Good to me.

Grandpa, hating will not make the world a better place.

And even if you've been hurt, really badly hurt, you have to forgive.

And what does that do?

Well, it's positive, not negative.

It means the other bastard got off the hook.

Look, I know that Grandma was really mean, but hating won't bring her back

it won't make you feel any better.

Don't I know it?

You've got to forget Grandma and take your grief and turn it into action. A

beautiful positive. That's what I'm doing.

Stuff's gone.

Gone where?

Gone as in completely.

Down the drain.

You sure?

Fuck.

Yeah, what happened to we don't do drugs, huh?

It wasn't mine and it wasn't bad.

So good you had to put in mum's fucking name. Listen here, smartass. That shit

belonged to people who now think that they've been ripped off. Well, it's

Tell them that.

That won't cut it.

I need a name.

It's not going to get it back.

Who were the jerkoffs who trashed it?

Can

you

stump the cash?

How much?

Two, three. Might be able to keep them happy.

300 grand.

Forget it.

Then you should get gone.

What?

What?

Nicky knows you're connected, so do the people up the chain, and they're going

to be looking for a pound of flesh here.

I don't want it to be yours.

So, go.

That's it. That's your advice.

That's off.

I'm just trying to save your arse here.

Oh, shit.

What happened?

I think it's got a message.

Well, you definitely need to clean it up.

And I would help, but I've got Milt's memorial.

What?

My husband, Milt. You remember him?

Yep.

Well, no one else seems to.

I really want you to be there.

Here, I'll try.

Jethro, are you in trouble?

There's no way I'm going to let him run me out of fucking town.

Who? Dad.

Dad did that?

Ah, yes, the prince of it.

Where's the wolf?

You think you're so fucking smart.

Did you ever think about anyone else? I don't know what you're talking about.

We needed that money for the house.

Now we're in major shit.

Join the club.

I hope she's happy.

Cheryl.

No, no, no, no, no.

You don't fucking talk about her. Got it?

Oh, aren't you the good son?

Someone called for you this afternoon. I said to try you at work or maybe at

your girlfriend's.

Just trying to be helpful.

It's my neighbor.

Sorry, Mike.

What the hell was that about?

Nothing.

Just get inside, eh?

I'll be going away for a bit.

On business?

No, I could be in a bit of trouble.

What kind of trouble?

Um...

The less you know, the better.

Is this cold feet?

What?

If you don't want to move in with me, you only have to stay. No, no, no, no.

It's not that. Don't be crazy. I want to be here more than anything, okay? But

if anyone comes around here, you say we split, all right?

You don't know where I am.

Where will you be? I don't know exactly.

Oh, look, if you're in some kind of trouble, I can help you.

No, you can't!

All right? You can't help me, and I can't... risk anything happening to you

Robbie. Get it?

Okay? I shouldn't even fucking be here.

Jesus Christ!

My fucking family.

What is this?

Tell me!

It's better you don't know, okay?

Oh, can I call you? Can I get in touch with you? I'll call you.

Alright? When I can.

Ah, shit.

You're scaring me.

No! No!

No! Listen to me.

Listen to me.

Listen.

It won't be for long.

Okay? And I will come back.

I will come back. I fucking promise.

Okay?

You should go somewhere else, okay? Just for a few days. Send Robbie to his

father.

You don't know me.

Don't be home, all right?

You don't.

So where will you be?

I think I'll tell you.

I'm not your enemy.

You've got cash somewhere.

You could bail me out if you wanted.

That cash is committed to a house, Jethro. A binding contract, as you

So you got your own back. Is that what you think this is about?

Yep.

You don't want me here.

Not anymore.

You know what?

I wouldn't go.

Except for her.

But I'll fucking come back.

Good on you. You're such a control freak.

I value loyalty.

It's not fucking bad that mum gets what she's due.

But to the shit you've put her through. I didn't fuck up here. You walked out on

our family, man.

Mum made a go of it on her own. You know what? Good on her. Fuck your mother.

What is your problem? You never gave me credit for shit.

Well, the university had its use.

Thanks,

Dad. I feel so fucking validated.

See, you learned some big words.

See you soon, Dad. Not that soon.

Fuck you!

I make my own decisions.

You want to wind up in pieces in a suitcase in the way of mudder?

You tell them I've still got it. I need a name or I'm in this shit.

I'm doing my best to hold them off.

You want me gone?

A couple of years.

You'll learn from your mistakes.

Won't you?

Where's the beard?

Hey, Mr Neymar.

Place looks nice.

It's all about finding the beautiful positive.

You were on to something there.

Really? Yes.

Oh, Grandpa, that is so wonderful.

I've got a job for you.

Not Gary bloody Savage again.

No, we're moving on.

We're going to find the bastard who dropped his seed in Rita.

You know who it is?

That's your job.

Why me?

Thought that was your business finding wrongdoers.

I didn't think it would all be to do with the West family.

You're lucky to be in work. There's the positive.

So, we find the bugger.

Then we kill him.

Oh, it just gets better.

Mum, have we asked everyone?

Oh, they'll be here.

No, no call.

We're grieving.

You came.

Hey, I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Van. Van.

Oh, hey, bro.

Where's Mum?

Uh, she's inside for the milk thing. Come on, man, we've got to get in there.

I can't.

Yeah, Pascale will be slutted if we're late.

I can't, Van. I'm going away.

Well, I've got a holiday.

Listen to me.

The thing with the drugs?

Some shit's hit the fan.

I know.

What about you?

But, um, I've got to go away for a while, all right?

So, um, it's your job to keep an eye out for Mum, all right?

From the drug dealers?

No.

From Dad.

What's he done?

He's fucking... Fuck.

Look after Mum, all right?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait!

If you go, then it'll be just me.

Yeah, and Mum, and Pascal, and Loretta. But we've never been alone

before.

It'll be okay, man. I mean, I've often wished you'd die because you've been

to me most of my life, but, um, you know.

Look out for Mum for me, all right?

I'm really glad that you could all come.

I just knew that you'd all want a chance to remember Milt.

Say how much he meant to you.

Well?

One great thing about fellow Milt was...

He was from Daytona, which is home to the Daytona 500, which is an awesome

car. Thank you. Kia ora.

Okay, that's lovely. Car racing is great, and so was Milt. And we just hope

was as rich as he says he was.

Um, yeah, Milt, eh?

Well, I have to admit I was a bit suspicious of the guy at first.

But, um, he turned out to be a decent guy.

Bonafide businessman.

Then why were you so fucking mean to him? Good thing. I don't care. He was a

shit to him the whole time. You wanted him dead, and you got him dead, and you

don't even care about that! You don't care about me, or anyone else, and I'm

gonna hate you forever!

You fucking bastard!
