Original subtitles

Prostitutes are like livestock. If you keep all that livestock in one place,

you've solved so many of your problems.

Are you suggesting that we open a brothel?

Seems the day she did the runner, she had everything planned out, except for

curveball. Do you believe those babies are safe?

Better off than with her.

Do you think we can find them?

It's hard to know where to look, Sue.

Okay, everyone can stop right where they are right now.

Where are my babies?

I want to know what happened to the twins.

And if you tell us, we'll let you go.

Deal.

Hey, Van.

You found the mute?

I'm working on it.

What if Cherie was bullshitting?

What if she made it all up and she's dumped them? I don't think so, Van.

What kind of stupid name is Brownlow?

Have you ever heard of anyone called Brownlow?

Ben, I gotta go. I'll call you.

Wayne? Wayne?

Pigs have got my babies. Well, she's not a cop, she's a nurse.

Oh, this is too good.

Pigs stole my babies and you think it's fucking funny. Given our family, there

is a certain irony.

We don't know that he stole them.

How else would he get them? Well, we need to establish that. It is sure

anything's possible.

Are the babies okay?

Yeah, they seem fine. It was a bit hard to tell from a distance.

We didn't check.

It's one step at a time, Dan. Oh, fuck that.

Well, we need to do as we go around there right now and we'll get them.

Come on.

We kind of need to be somewhere else.

What?

Ah, fuck yous, I'll go on my own.

It's complicated, Van. We need to know how they came to be there and if it's

really them. Of course it's them. Give me the address.

Mate, you can't just rock out and take two kids. Yes, I can. No, you can't.

You will get in the mother of all shit. I'm kind of liking life without the cops

all over us right now. Then leave me with the fucking cops!

And he should be arrested for kidnapping or something. Let me see what I can

find out first. He's bent.

He's got to be. Give me the fucking address! You can't go around there, Van!

I'm their dad.

Shit, now he's just going to get in his car and go all mental driving around

trying to find them. Could take him a while.

They're his kids, Loretta.

I will deal with this.

Thank you, Wayne.

I'll meet you there.

God, you're heartless. Just busy.

Well, so is Wayne.

Look, I will deal with them, okay? You go and see what you can find out about

the cop.

Best man for the job.

Yeah, it's got a ton of character. You mean it's old and shabby.

A coat of paint and a few heavy drapes, this place will come up a treat. In

other words, it'll cost a fortune.

There's heaps of parking.

It's also zoned residential.

Bullshit. I checked.

It just feels right. You know, this place has got a romance about it.

Oh, God.

What? We're back to the good old days with dear old dad, are we? When tarts

hearts and there was a knocking shop on every corner.

It worked.

Until zoning shut them down.

Well, I like it. I think we can do better.

So show me better then. I will.

Brown Lee, Brown, Brown Low.

There's no East Brown Low in here.

It's because he's bent and sneaky.

Well, maybe he's not listed.

They're your kids, bro, and Mr. J's got no way of keeping you from them.

You've got to go and get them, man, before he turns them into piglets, you

wearing little uniforms, bro, putting people under arrest.

What? Where are you?

Here.

Where's here?

Why? Van, just tell me where you are.

I'm at Munton.

Is that true, or are you just saying that?

Just piss off, girl.

Don't worry, bro. When you get those little guys, we'll be sweet, man.

You and me.

Him and the twins.

We could all hang together.

Take in his red brother.

Fanny, you think he'll end up with the kids?

Of course he will, babe. They're tamariki. Yeah.

I've got the house, all the stuff. Bro, we could teach them to play pool and go

fishing. Show those little suckers how to smoke a cahawai. Yeah.

No smoking drugs, though, eh? No, no, no. Not till later.

As Mr. Marley is your uncle, we've got ourselves a father.

Wayne Judd? Yeah, Steve.

How's it going?

You were with the C .I .B. a few years back.

Yeah.

I transferred in from Counties Manukau.

Lifestyle.

We like it around here.

So how can I help you?

It's kind of a private matter.

Okay.

About your kid.

What about them?

I know their father and their mother.

I'm their father.

Judy's their mother. We have been for seven months.

We've got the paperwork.

You adopted them? Of course we did.

Well, it's just that I'd like to know how that came about.

That's bullshit.

I'm not blaming you, Steve.

There's some things that don't quite stack up.

It's fully commercial, the lease won't cripple us, and it's available now. Nah,

it's got all the charm of an abattoir.

Well, don't you want to see the rest of it? No, don't, Loretta. It's shit.

Hello?

Hi. Sorry I'm late. Got tied up.

As you do.

Well, come on, you two. What are we waiting for?

Let's get this show on the road.

Oh, no. Not liking the Feng Shui at all.

We'll fix it up.

You're dreaming, sweetheart.

Excuse me?

Atmosphere, my love.

Show me the atmosphere. Show me the soul.

If you want soul, don't you think you're in the wrong job?

I've been in this business since you were learning to tie your dinky little

shoelaces. I know what men are after.

And it certainly ain't this dump.

I tell the girls it's a no.

You ambushed me.

I asked your opinion.

I thought we were doing this together.

Angel and the girls need to be happy.

You're just trying to get it your way. Well, you're not. But you're wrong.

You are.

All right, fine.

Find something better at the price.

Fine. I will.

Is Van here? He said he was.

They're in with Hemi.

I've got a cold, so I'm infectious and excluded, like I will be probably

forever. Okay. Did you know Van's on about having the kids full time?

Well, he hasn't got them yet.

I'm not saying anything bad about Van. I mean, he is their dad and everything.

But honestly, how's he going to cope?

And I'll probably end up never seeing Munda and Hemi again.

Baby's far good, eh? Little ripper.

Yeah, I'm fighting competition today.

You. Man, we have to go. I'll drive you.

I've got my car.

You've been drinking.

He's had two beers.

I'm not going anywhere with you, right?

Wayne's got news about the baby.

You met him?

The bent cock bastard?

Yeah. You tell him we're coming around?

No.

He stole my kids, man. He's not getting away with it. He didn't steal them, Van.

We got them through this woman my wife knew.

Delia.

They used to work together at Middlemore.

Delia was a midwife.

And she knew this kid who'd had twins.

Sure he's not a kid? This is what they were told. That's bullshit, man. Do you

want to hear this or not?

This girl named Rewia.

She'd had them under a house.

She went to Delia. She knew her somehow and wanted them adopted.

Matua Whangai.

Matua what? Into family adoption.

I'm their family.

It's Maori, Van.

Sheree's not Maori. She's not anything.

Except a bitch. They're not Maori kids, man. The kids were registered under the

girl's name. She's Maori and they've gone through SIP. Did you tell them it's

not fucking true? Yep. And what do you say?

Always.

Had this feeling that someone was a bit weird about it all.

I mean, I knew Delia had problems with drugs.

We were desperate.

We wanted him so much.

He cried.

Yeah, he's pretty upset.

Oh, cops don't cry. He's an okay guy, man, and they've got the paperwork.

Oh, so you like him more now he's brown as well as a pig?

Well, he's not, Brown. She is. And I'm just saying, it's complica - You fellas

always stick together, don't you?

That's a pigism.

Racism. I'm just trying to stop you from doing something stupid, Van.

Oh, I'm stupid now, am I? No, Van, I'm just - Fuck you, Wayne.

What kind of name is Wayne, anyway?

It's not a Maori name. It's a stupid name for a stupid dick who's not helping

with anything.

Shit. Oh, God.

No, I don't think that's going to help at all.

What's wrong with our grandpa, Des?

He's quite a bit toxic.

You just let him get kicked out in the cold.

He's hardly in the Siberian way.

Though he has no eyes at the close second.

Yeah, if you can live with that.

Are you trying to tell me off?

I just thought you, of all people... Go and lobby someone else, Jethro. We've

got bigger shit to worry about.

No, you're like what?

The missing babies have been found.

Demon spawn of Cherie?

What?

Where? Right here in West Auckland somewhere.

Jesus.

When did this happen? Today, thanks to Wayne.

Van, naturally, is totally spinning out. Why does he care?

Because he is their father, at least in his head. No, not Van. Judd.

Right, of course, the stepfather complex.

And you're concerned for Van, that's really touching.

What's happening with the twins?

Pascal and Wayne are all over it. Fuck Wayne, we should handle it. We?

Us. Family, not an outsider.

Do you want to play daddy, Jethro? No, Loretta. And just so I'm clear, is this

because Wayne is in mummy's bed, or is it about grandpa, or is it because you

actually give a shit about those poor fatherless babies?

Fuck you, Loretta. Well, don't try to play daddy with me, because it doesn't

wash at all.

I'm coming in. You're on this side.

There is no side.

This is fucked.

Two little babies and they were strangers.

Murray picked strangers.

Well, does it matter? You know, as long as someone's looking after them.

You want them to keep my kids?

No, that's not what I'm saying.

That's what it sounded like.

I'm not saying it.

And neither is Wayne.

Okay? But I know how much you want this baby.

Just heard.

How you doing, bro?

Only you care, cock.

When do you get to meet the twins?

It's complicated, Jethro.

Is there anything I can do?

No. Okay.

Tell me about it.

There's nothing I can do, and it's all bad, and there's nothing anyone can do,

apparently.

No, it's taken care of, Jethro, okay? Wayne's all over it. Why don't you just

leave it?

Jethro wanted to help.

I told him where to go, though. And did he go?

No. Christ, it's tricky enough as it is. Well, when I talked to Jethro, he

really... You're the one who told him.

He was going to find out eventually.

And I guess he does have a vested interest.

He's their uncle.

No. Jethro has a vested interest.

Because he rooted Sheree.

Jethro rooted Sheree?

No. Yeah, apparently.

Fuck, when?

Ages ago.

You know this for a fact, Narita?

She thought that he was Van. It's happened before.

Unbelievable.

Hobag has slept with the whole family. I haven't slept with me.

Dad, do you have a van?

It's a second phone.

Sick.

How long ago was ages ago?

Oh, fuck.

Bloody fuck, fuck.

It kind of makes the demon... Demons spawn the double demon, if they are

Oh, don't say that. They're just innocent little babies.

I guess it is all the same gene pool.

Does Van know?

Well, do you think he'd be so busy staking his claim if he did?

Well, we can't tell him. It would just break his heart.

I wasn't planning to.

Where are you going?

Have a word with Jethro.

Excellent.

Come on in.

Who's here?

Hi, Wayne.

Can I have some wine?

No, thanks.

So, what's up?

This business with Van, the Brownlows, Stephen and Judith.

It's amazing what you can find out about people, eh?

You'd do better to stay out of it. What, you just want to drop her?

It's messy.

We'll probably end up in family court and criminal.

I'm sorry?

The adoption is clearly illegal based on fraud.

And Constable Stephen Brownlow is yet another example of corruption in West

Auckland Police.

Good fun.

I think it's fun.

It's a gift.

It's people's life.

Bent cops heals West babies.

We get that out there before Cheryl's trial in the minds of the jury.

It's great for her case.

You got a problem with that, Wayne?

Helping Mum?

I got a problem with dragging Van through the courts.

Well, Van wants this. With the media all over him?

And Christ, there's two little kids here. It's really none of your business.

Okay?

Van... Van has asked me to take care of his interests.

And you're doing it because you care about Van?

Yes.

And what happens when we get to the paternity test? Because there will be

I'm curious myself as to whether identical twins have identical DNA.

I'll see myself out.

You must feel one, ain't you?

Eric.

Eric,

I can't have this in my house anymore, man.

With the babies.

You haven't got a baby. Yeah, but I will.

I don't have to watch.

Look, there's not going to be room for you, Eric.

What do you mean? We've got plenty of room. We've got a whole spare room.

No, but when they get bigger, they'll need a room each.

Yeah, but that's not for a while.

I'm going to be a dad, Eric, and that means I'm going to set an example, and

you, you're not an example.

You're throwing me out.

Jesus, talk about kicking a joke when he's down.

I'm not changing my mind, Eric, so don't look at me like that. But I like

babies. Eric.

Hey.

Eric, can you piss off?

Oh, isn't that always the way? Come in, Eric. Pay the rent, Eric. Piss off,

Eric. I'm going to my room while I've still got one.

What do you want?

Dan, I don't think you're stupid.

Doesn't matter. I get how you feel.

I thought it would be better if we knew the facts first, and now we do.

Jethro's on it now.

Do you want to meet your kids?

Well, of course.

Then we do it.

Who's we?

You and me.

Or on your own, if you want.

What about Jethro?

Steve and Judy have been dealt a shithand.

Just like you, by Sheree.

I just thought we could sort this without the damage.

But you're their dad.

It's up to you.

I get the twin thing.

But this is beyond out there.

Well, it's not my fault we're identical.

She truly thought you were Van.

I wouldn't have.

Believe me, Cherie didn't care. She was out of it and up for it.

Look, I never liked her, okay? I hated the bitch.

That'd so not go down well in court.

What, do you want me to lie? No, of course not.

Fucking Judd.

And fucking Loretta.

She must have told him. So what are you going to do about that?

Smack her.

He's the one you want out, and she is still your sister, so you need to work

a way to get her on side.

It's Loretta. It's not that easy.

Everyone has wants and needs.

So, what did you do with this Cherie that was so hot?

She wasn't hot.

She was a bad and twisted woman, that's for sure.

Was she as bad as me?

She was way less hot and nowhere near as bad.

Well, I'm taking it as a good thing.

Oh, yeah.

Are you sure it's a good idea he meet them so soon?

It's the best idea I've got.

And Steve understands this could go way ugly.

You talked to her?

Yeah.

I feel sorry for him.

And Van.

Do you want to come along?

Well, I am really good at dealing with Van when he goes off.

Except sometimes it means you have to hit him or throw something at him, which

might not be so good in front of the parents, eh?

No, probably not.

The house?

Yep. Doesn't look like a Murray house.

Well, how's it meant to look? Well, I don't know, carved in the lawn?

You remember what I said, right? No.

Try not to be too racist and try not to say fuck too much. Oh, what a fucking

racist. I know all about two -ringy wife and wife.

Fuck, Ben. What?

Hi.

So, uh, I suppose you'd like to meet the twins?

Yep. This is my wife Judy and this is Hayley and Eddie.

Look at you.

They are so gorgeous.

Instead of love.

How you guys doing?

Oh, bro, she's a cutie, man.

How's her name, bro?

Hayley. How big is that?

Bro, you've got to rethink the thing you've got for Hayley Weston, right?

Because you don't want to go getting her mixed up in your head. Nah, bro, big

Hayley's got nothing on little Hayley. Hey, hey, Eddie.

How cool is that, man?

Eddie Van Halen. Yeah.

I was worried they were going to have a Maori named Z. Why?

Because the mum's a Maori.

What about the cop?

He's white, but he's OK.

But, bro, he's not even a proper pig.

Yeah, well, the grassroots stuff, it's my plan, but it suits me.

Until some clown goes and tortures your car.

Yeah, I read about that in the paper. Bad luck.

You know, some real idiots out there, eh?

That was his car!

Classic, bro!

Now, but I feel stink, man.

Yeah, but he's a pig, man. Even if he's not a real pig. He's good with the

twins, though, you know?

Yeah.

So, when are we going to hang out, mate?

Oh, we didn't really talk about that, eh? How come?

I'll do it next time.

They're your tamariki, bro.

Yeah, I know.

Well, am I in yet?

It's a work in progress, Grandpa.

Piece of weasel piss throwing his weight around.

Still, I've had an idea.

Yeah? We'll get one of Filani's nephews to take him out. Won't cost much.

You want to take out a contract on Judd?

One of his porker, who's going to care?

Okay, Grandpa, I think you're going a little bit too far.

That bastard's thrown me out of my own home. I know. Hard at it, Ted.

Too right.

Well, you wouldn't be thinking of coming to work any time soon. I've got bigger

fish to fry.

I don't pay to sit around on your butt. I'm busy.

I'm sure.

But if you don't file any tips, I'll cut you in the arse.

Forty percent.

I'm an investor.

I've got a business to run.

All right. Get your hand off it.

Here. He pushes it. There he is, there he is.

Hey, how's the brothel business going?

It's a fucking nightmare, since you ask. Is Loretta not playing nice?

Loretta and I?

Slightly different views on premises.

Are you still in a better place?

No, no, not yet.

Hello.

Maybe I can help.

You don't do real estate.

Well, tell me what you're after.

So, how are we, Mrs. Peters?

Do not ever call me that.

Any progress on the premises?

No, I'm too busy with useless pills.

Well, I have a proposition for you.

A player.

Somewhere I think you might like.

Please, not another tribute to dear old Dad.

Ex -industrial?

Great location, the right zoning, plenty of parking, and it's a cheap lease.

Hayden, if there's something you're not telling me, you may as well get it over

with, because I will find out.

All right, Jethro came up with it. Forget it. There's nothing in it for

There's always something in it for him. And what the hell does Jethro know about

real estate? Here we go.

What, you really trust the little shit who rooted Sharuna? Jethro, come and

a look at it, okay?

Now this looks interesting. I feel like large red sheds. Keeping an open mind

now.

Tell me, does this place not have detention?

It is speaking to me.

Well?

At least it doesn't have a ton of character.

Whoa, high praise. Don't get too excited.

This place has so many rooms.

My, didn't you do well.

Think this could work?

Honey, I'm getting quite hard just at the thought of working here.

Shall we do it?

We'll see.

For fuck's sake, Loretta.

You like the place, I know you do. Why can't you just come out and say it? What

makes you think I like it? You'd have to be insane not to.

Go give your daughter a bath.

Your mother is beyond impossible.

Thank you, Uncle Ben.

I'll be doing that soon.

Taking Hayley and Eddie for a boat.

And then what, Ben?

and I'll dry them off, put them in their jammies.

No, I mean in real life.

How do you plan to wrangle two kids and a full -time job?

Well, I'll stop work.

Brilliant, because that'll pay the mortgage and keep them in nappies.

Hey, take it easy.

Am I the only one who's seeing the blatantly obvious here? You're the only

being horrible.

What? Hello, if we're going to have to put up with more sprogs in the family,

can we at least get real about it? I am getting real, all right?

I can't be three people at once.

Can I? I can't be me and a mum and a dad and a tool.

Actually, that's four people.

Van, that's exactly my point. You can't do it all.

Steve, g'day.

Oh, shit.

Uh, sure. I'll see what I can do.

Yeah, no, no, no.

Stay in touch.

Yep.

What's wrong? Are the babies okay?

No, they're fine.

He's just got off the phone to Bailey.

What was she ringing him for? Well, she's threatening to take him to the

But Steve is the cop.

Bailey thinks that Steve and Judy knew all about it. Yeah, but they didn't.

That's a Jethro's version of help him.

No fucking way.

You want me to talk to him? No.

Go, Van.

Who do you think you are, ringing him and making threats?

They broke the law, Van.

It's got nothing to do with you. With all due respect... You wanted our help.

Just leave them alone, OK?

Steve... Is an okay guy, right? And I already feel bad enough for pissing in

car, even though I wasn't the one that torched it. Well, that was Brownlow's

car. No, they're nice people.

But how else are you going to get your kids back?

Well, we'll have a talk, I guess. Van, what they did was wrong, and it needs to

be exposed, okay? Now, if this ends up getting publicity, it could be a help to

Mum.

How? It's what you'd want, Van.

Help your K. You don't know nothing, all right? So you stay out of it. Okay,

fine. Whatever.

Whatever? Yes.

If this is what Van wants and needs, then we go with that.

Yeah, it is what I want, and I don't need your help, right?

My business, my kids. So you stay out of it, both of you. Sure, we get that.

Good.

Oh, good on you, Van. Oh, yeah, I was mean as though.

Yeah, and then I went to the Rusty and I had a beer and I called a brown load

and told them it's all cool.

Good. Yep.

I'm going to see them tomorrow.

To do what?

Talk about shit.

Oh, yeah, sounds like a plan.

Mm -hmm.

How's it going down there?

Oh, same old.

How are things with you, love?

Oh, we're all fine.

Behaving ourselves?

I can't believe that.

So, come on, what's new?

You're asking me? Come on, you must be thrilled.

Granny? What are you talking about?

Oh, shit, no, not Pascal.

No, Mum, Van.

He found the twins.

What? Yeah.

Hasn't Wayne been in touch about that?

No, he bloody hasn't.

What the fuck is going on?

I didn't want to worry you two. They are my grandchildren.

What were you thinking?

It's... Complicated shit. Bullshit. Just get them back.

We're doing our best and you're not here.

What? You think I don't fucking know that?

Anyway, Van's onto it.

Van? Oh, sweet Jesus.

Is he there?

No, he just left, but Pascal's here. Would you like a word? Just get the

back.

Hi, Mum.

Van can't handle this on his own. Have you lost the plot?

No, and actually...

It's been quite awesome.

Pascal, you will go and get those children back yourself if you have to,

Yes, Mum.

Just bloody do it!

Hey.

Just got a word for you.

Did you see the brown loaves?

Yep.

Did you...

Talk to them? Uh, a bit busy, eh? But I did help give Hayley and Eddie their

breakfast, and I got puked on, too.

Look.

It's a real baby puke.

And Judy, she does these, like, awesome, like, singing and clapping game with

them.

It's real hard to sing and clap at the same time, eh?

Hey, Van, you know that whatever happens, I'm totally there for you, eh?

And it just so happens I'm...

Really, the best with babies. Well, Mum's also quite good, but she's not

the moment for obvious reasons. So, you know, whatever I can do, eh?

All right, well, you can carry that.

OK.

Why is everyone encouraging him when we all know that he won't cope?

If, by some miracle, Van gets the sprogs, he will stop work and end up on

DPB, or he'll lose his house, but then he'll have to move back in here.

Or you could help out.

You know I don't like babies.

You're quite good at some things, though.

Like what?

Like finessing people.

And lying.

Gosh, Wayne.

Why all the compliments?

What's this?

It's a pie.

You're being nice.

No, I'm not.

Yes, you are.

I'm not at work and you haven't gone off your nut. Well, I get why you're not at

work, okay?

G'day, Loretta.

He tell you I'm looking for a home.

You'll find a nice damp stone somewhere, Eric.

Bye.

You getting all, like, sorted?

For the twins? Yeah, that's great, Van.

But there's actually something I was hoping you might be able to help me

I'm pretty busy.

You know that Hayden and I are starting this brothel? Yeah. Well, it is going to

have staffing implications.

So I was wondering... Don't you look at me like that. I'm not looking at you

like anything. Like I'm gay or something? What?

I'm not going to work in some gay brothel, not even if you pay me. Van,

asking you to.

The thing is, Van...

I'm going to be flat out. Doing what?

Running the business.

Okay, well, as long as you're not thinking about going on the game again,

because... Ben, I am going to be busy with management. So the tool guys...

You're going to ditch the tools for a bunch of hoes? Ben, I'm offering you a

job. What? Managing the tool guys. I'd train you up.

Oh, yeah.

Good one.

Oh, God, no way.

You're the one who wanted more involvement and responsibility in the

this is me respecting your wishes.

Is that the same thing as respecting me?

Do I have to ask Aaron or the Gooch? No, it's my company. Which is why I'm

asking you, but if you don't want to do it... I need a bit of time, you know,

with the twins and everything. Fine, fine.

You haven't till the close of business.

Well, no, I'll tell you tomorrow.

Why? Well, it all goes 24 -7.

Um, we don't close.

Hey!

That was management thinking.

So if I got Hayley and Eddie, then that'd be sweet, but I wouldn't have any

to be running the tool guys.

But if I'm not running the tool guys, then that just leaves Aaron in the

That's when you get a power vacuum.

Is that like a real vacuum?

It's when a skinny ginga steps up and starts to take control.

Oh, that's got to suck.

But if Aaron's running things, then who's doing the work?

The gooch.

So it won't be tall guys anymore. It'll just be tall guy. That's not good.

Nah. Who does all the work?

And what happens to the cream?

I don't know, bro. I'm not losing my material.

I know, but it's our company.

Well, this is up to you, bro.

Well, what about Hayley and Eddie? I can't be in two places at the same time,

man. Ain't no one I know capable of that, even you.

It all comes back to me, man.

It's so hard.

Then there's this other real hard thing, bro. Why not?

I've got the emergency crisis kit for emergency thinking.

Just whip them up. I'm on Afghans next with the tricky icing.

Here you are.

So what's the other hard thing?

I've got to talk to Steve and Judy about taking the twins.

There's not going to be any courts or bullshit.

But I just can't think of, like, a good way to say that I'm taking them.

There isn't one.

I've got to do it.

Someone came to my place and said they were taking him in and just ripped my

world apart, bro.

I'm confused.

About what? The sideline and party drugs I got.

Women's knickers, creepy, but it fitted with your mother's fixation.

But now you're into real estate.

Not directly.

If this is your way of getting Grandpa back in... Nope.

So what's the catch?

Well, I just can't wait to see you as a madam.

The twisty bit, Jethro. The bit that's going to make me really hate you at some

point. There is no twisty bit, OK?

In fact, it's all in your favour.

How's that?

Well, the place has been empty for months. The owners are desperate.

You guys get a cheap rent, free reign to do what you want.

Win -win. You don't do win -win. Okay, you think I'm a shit. Yeah, and I'm not

the only one thinking that right now.

We've had our differences.

Fine. But the bottom line is, family is family. You, Hayden, Jane, you're all

family. And now Mum's not here, you want to call the shots. No. I am not bowing

and scraping to you, Jim. I'm not asking you to.

Okay. I get to help you guys out, and I look good with the owners.

So there is something in it for you.

Well, I'm not a saint. We both know that.

Karen, stop eating!

We just started.

No, I've got some stuff I need to say.

Okay.

Firstly, uh...

I went to see Steve and Judy to sort shit and, you know, tell them what's

And I'm going to be having the twins sometimes and getting them on the

sometimes.

That is so great.

Yeah, it's awesome.

And I promised Steve and Judy.

And there is no way that I'll be taking the babies to the rustic. Mm -mm. Or

getting pissed or off my face. Not when I got them.

Mm -mm.

And I'm going to get them proper car seats and everything.

They'll find that comforting.

Yeah, so I'll be like their other dad, but I'll still be their real dad.

And that is the best thing all round, because you need

me as much as the twins.

Yes,

I do.

Then I accept.

Accept what?

My new job is the boss of the tall guys. Well, trainee boss.

Mm -hmm. Good shit, then.

Yeah.

Yep.

Can we eat now?

Yep. Hey, here's to van.

Yeah. To fatherhood. Mm.

Good shit all around.

Go to van, mate. Yeah.

Hey.

Make it quick. I've got to be somewhere.

I just wanted you to know that Vance sorted things with the Brownlows. Done a

good job, too. Good for him. Yeah, I thought so.

And by the way, you drop me in the shit again with Cheryl and I will kick your

ass from here to next week.

You sent me to be a threat, Wayne.

I do my best for this family.

This family?

You mean your family.

See, last time I checked, you didn't have one, mate.

Fuck you, Jethro.

No, no.

See, you are not part of our family.

And you never have been.

And the sooner you realise that, the better it'll be for everyone.

Okay?

I don't take instructions from self -serving little shits like you.

Okay. So we're clear on where we stand then?

Yeah.

Very, very clear.

And up here.

And here.

You all signed up?

Yeah.

That being the operative word.

Better have a toast then, eh?

And what are we drinking to?

Peace in our time?

To wants and needs.

And fucking.

I'll drink to that.

Nothing to do, guys.

Sure.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I'm all good. Hunky dory.

Well, as long as you're happy with it, love.

Yeah, I am. And they're real cool parents, Mum.

Yeah, and, you know, babies, they need a mum.

Well,

I don't have anyone to be their mum, you know.

I wish I could be there.

Well, you're back and you can be their granny.

You send me some photos?

Yeah, for sure, for sure. And, hey, don't worry about Steve being a cop on

Actually, not that you would, eh, because you rooted Wayne when he was a

Van, I don't care what he is, as long as he loves those kids to bits.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, no, no, no, Mum, it's all good. It's all good. It was a total mess,

I got it all sorted.

So, gee, don't worry, OK?

Good on you, sweetheart.

Mm -hm.

Where'd you go?

Just out.

What?

You were really, really amazing how you handled all of this.

And Van.

Maybe I'm just getting used to the ways of the West.

You would have made a brilliant dad.

The Beast.

You have to bid.

Yeah.

You?

Yeah, soon.

Okay. Well, nighty -night.

Night, Pesca.

Bag the bathroom first.
