All language subtitles for Packed To The Rafters s05e07 The Great Escape

Get back.

Get back.

And the last time, just turn and walk
away.

Let it be.

Making the great escape doesn't mean
just climbing over the first fence.

A few days ago, the only escape I
thought I needed was a bit of gardening.

Everything all right?

Ben?

Oh, what the hell died over here?

Just my fertilizer. You think it smells
bad? You should taste it.

You might want to bandage that inside.

She'll be right.

No, I could swell up and then where
would you be?

Might be off work for a month.

Work? Oh, sorry, Grandad. Got to run.
I'm late.

I really need to shower now. I really
need to pee now.

Can you be quick?

What is that smell?

It's just blood and bone.

Sorry, Rita.

Mate, you're sick.

Rita's in the bathroom and I'm running
late. Okay, just keep your boys away

the dishcloth.

Can you chuck me that towel?

Yeah.

More baby stuff.

I've got this online.

Little Miracles, the private life of
your unborn baby. It's supposed to be

Rocky III of parenting videos.

It's that bad, huh?

Mate, Rocky III with Mr. T, that's a
classic. Whatever you say. You guys keep

hitting the baby shops that hard and
we're going to need to dig a basement.

Yeah, yeah, look, about that. Look, I
know you moved so we could have the big

room. I'm a nice guy. You're a nice guy
anyway. Me and Rita were thinking of

having your room as our baby room.

You know, he's close to art, he has the
right baby vibes.

I'll bump out on the weekend.

You're a nice guy.

Nice of you to join us, Finn.

Sorry, Donna, I got caught up at home.

You know, if you turn up on time, we'll
get along much better.

I don't enjoy cracking the whip, but I
will if I have to. Okay, well, it's just

a one -off.

Hey.

We've been worried sick.

What? Only 20 minutes late.

Mum phoned all the hospitals, then she
filed a missing persons report.

Oh, hilarious.

Sorry, too much?

I've just had a rough morning.

What's that?

Home's just a bit full on at the moment.
Baby excitement?

More like baby insanity.

Don't know what it's going to be like
when they actually have a baby.

Look on the plus side. Everything will
be right back to normal in about, oh, 18

years.

Right.

So my chance of escape any time soon?

About zero.

Ta -da!

Too corporate?

Not enough.

I mean, I don't want to look like I
sweated over it. Just enough to blend

No, you'll blend in.

Right, so it's not special?

No, not special.

But boring?

Jules, it's fine.

Fine? Which is fine.

Jules, you look perfect.

Very perfect.

Thanks, Dad.

Anyway, I'll probably take till
lunchtime before Adam realises I've got

what I'm doing. You'll handle this job
standing on your head.

Yeah, I'm sure no -one's expecting a
miracle.

Yeah, well, they might be expecting
competence, though.

Barrett's a new, that's my full
professional career.

You want me to come along and hold your
hand?

No, I think I'll be all right.

Anyway, if I don't, I'm sure Adam will
be happy to do it for me.

Kidding, I'm just kidding.

OK.

Time to make a go of it. Wish me luck.

Call me, let me know how you're going.
Yeah, I will. Bye -bye, sweetheart.

Don't give Brenda too much of a hard
time.

Bye -bye. Bye -bye, bub.

Reckon he'll survive without her?

Of course.

Looking good, Jules. Thanks, Cope. Good
luck with your new gig.

Nice of you to remember, Jake.

Morning, Frankie.

Hi, Julie.

Morning.

Hey, thanks.

Oh, good.

Hey, baby.

Morning,

all. Two jobs on this morning, so we'll
split up. Can I stick with Jake on the

Jane Street job? Yeah, sure. It's just I
need a shadow in for my certificate

stuff. Okay. It's all that single
-circuit voltage job. I said okay. You

started the job. You should finish it.
Okay. If that's what you want.

Are you all right? He was fine.

Until you turned up.

Something I should know about?

No. Nothing.

What's going on?

I don't know. Maybe he's bummed that I
changed deodorant.

Seriously, guys, I've got no idea.
You'll have to ask him.

That's right.

Yes, I'll hold.

Excuse me.

Hi, are you Julie?

Yes, yes.

I'm the new content coordinator,
apparently.

Debbie, hi.

Adam's out. You'll be back soon.

Has he told you what you'll be doing?

Uh, yes. I'm to chase up contributive...
Debbie?

Southern Standard.

Basically. Yes, I'll wait.

Make sure everything hits his desk
before... Sounds about right.

Well, that sounds like your first point
of call.

Oh, is that my desk?

Right. We'll catch up properly later
once I've finished his real estate

Oh, your real estate.

Today, yes. Yesterday it was a new dog
poo bylaw.

Oh. Good luck.

Thanks. Hello.

Oh, Southern Standard, Julie Rafter
speaking.

Yes, yes, I'm filling in for Erica.

Nice to meet you.

Oh.

Oh, that's terrible.

Poor thing.

Yes. Oh, I'm sure you are. Of course.

Yes. No, no, well, it's hardly your
fault. Yes, I'll talk to Adam and see

we can do.

Okay. Well, I hope it gets better.

Bye.

Morning. Hi. Sorry I wasn't here to meet
you. It's okay. Everything good?

Yes, that was Georgina Slater and she...
She needs more time to file her copy

because her... Cat got into a fight and
is at the vet. Yes, how did you know?

Last week her niece fell off her
bicycle.

She must be running out of relatives.
She's resorting to her cat.

Oh no, she sounded quite upset.

Georgina is a... Drama queen.

Yeah, I'm sure the moggy will be fine
and we need the article.

Um, what should I do?

Give her a call and gently remind her
that if she cannot manage her workload,

that we will reduce it for her
permanently.

Okay. I'll see how I go.

It's no fun being a whip -cracker.

Part of the job, I guess.

Julie.

You're welcome aboard.

Oh, thanks.

Stand down.

Relax. Okay.

You'll be sad I never thought it
happened to me. I got... I

hope you didn't have your heart set

on being employee of the month.

Sorry, Donna.

I don't want you to cut yourself.

Thanks.

Where are those two rowdy men who were
at table 12?

Um... The docket's still here.

Maybe they're in the toilet.

Together?

Well, they haven't done a runner, if
that's what you think. I went and picked

their credit card a little while ago. It
should be over there.

They've gone.

What? Well, I doubt that either of them
was Sandra Winterbottom.

And even if one was, her part expired
last year.

Sorry, Donna.

Lift the socks a bit, then, please.

You OK?

Just waiting to be struck by lightning.

Got plans for tonight?

No. How about we go to the country?

Which country?

The country.

Paddocks, trees, animals and stuff.

I like animals and stuff.

One of the lecturers at uni is always
offering a weekender. We could go

off to work.

I'd love to, but I've got a shift
tomorrow.

Calling sick?

Oh, yeah, like Donna's going to buy that
after today's efforts.

Come on, live a little.

I'm sorry.

Might have to settle for some pizza and
a glass of wine tonight.

Every time I get close to escape... I
need a peg change over in the centre.

...along comes the real world to crash
the party.

Got it.

Jake. No, don't try and get out of it.
I'm not trying to get out of anything.

Oh, you were so keen on Frankie. I was
not keen.

Oh, you were following her around like a
sick little puppy dog, and now you're

barely looking at her. What happened?
Nothing happened. Something must have...

Okay. All right. I was keen.

And I got the feeling she was not.

Well, you got the feeling. How? Did you
ask her? Okay. You want to talk women?

What's the deal with you and Sian?

Uh, nice work trying to turn that back
around. Oh, nice work trying to avoid

question. Like you're avoiding her.

We see each other when we want to see
each other. There's no pressure.

Right. So what are you then? Your
boyfriend?

Your girlfriend? Your mate? Your mate's
benefit? We don't put labels on her. You

don't put labels on her, which is
another way of saying I don't know.

We're both cruising, right? You
satisfied?

Okay, so if you're happy to cruise and
she's happy to cruise, then you're

cruising. Great.

Do you think she thinks that?

Yeah. Yes, but Georgina, Pushkin will be
happy in his basket, which will leave

you free to work.

And I hope you have been working,
because we really need that article by

deadline, or we're going to have to
reconsider using you at all.

Yeah. Well, I hope so.

We would really hate to lose you.

Okay, then.

Thanks. Bye.

What? You threatened to fire her.

Yeah. Actually fire her. Yeah, that's
what you told me to do. Yes, I did. I

Isn't that what you would have done? No.

I'd give an exasperated sigh, but you...
Oh, no, I'd have to ring her back.

And say what?

Well, and apologise. She's going to hate
me.

No, she won't. And I tell you what, next
time she asks for an extension, I know

who I'm going to sit onto her.

Right. So, I did well, then.

Oh, you did very well.

Oh. I knew you were the right person for
this job.

Okay, great.

So, what next?

World domination.

Huh. We have a winner.

So more than one function's affected?

Oh, it sounds like a loose connection or
your circuit breaker's faulty. I'll

need to take a look at it.

Oh, OK.

10 .30 tomorrow?

Absolutely. Bye. Bye.

You go.

See you. Yeah, I've got that thing on.

I've got to hustle. Later, Dave.

Yeah, see you, mate.

See you guys tomorrow.

Yeah, bye. Bye, Dave.

They're not getting on, or are they
getting on too well? What's the story?

Nothing.

Kobe's just been a bit of a unit.

All right.

Otherwise, all go okay today? Yeah,
yeah. Look, it would help if we could

understand Kobe's riding. Yeah, I know.
It took us ages to find the Hurstville

gig. Oh, okay. Day one, without Jules,
the wheels are just a little wobbly.

Yeah, well, nothing we can't handle.

Hmm. Raft for electrical.

Frankie, you just missed her. I'll put
you through to her mobile.

Hello?

The callback?

What was that?

Nothing we can't handle.

The period just after the baby is
delivered is called

the third stage.

Oh, look at the baby.

It was all worth it. So beautiful.

It was a horror movie.

It was a lot of blood. An awful lot of
blood.

Another one?

She only twinked?

It's a mutant.

No, it's the placenta. It's supposed to
come out.

Not like that. No way.

Hey, guys.

What's this?

Extended cut of alien?

Oh, I don't think that's an alien.

Oh.

Oh, God.

It's the miracle of life.

Isn't it incredible?

I'll tell you what's incredible. Her
bits.

Yours won't look like that, will they?

Well, why not?

It's only natural.

That wasn't natural. That was wrong.

Here, sit down.

No, thanks. You might need to go to the
kitchen.

Did you know that the placenta can weigh
half a kilo?

For real?

I thought the same size as a pizza.

No,

I did not know that.

Full on.

Yeah, this is nothing. When the cervix
is fully dilated, you should see the

of the vagina. We'll leave you guys to
it.

Squatting position seems better.

I'm suddenly not so hungry.

See, was I exaggerating? No.

Give me that glass of water.

I need to get out of here.

It's not too late to call my lecturer.

Let's do it.

What?

I said, let's do it.

Really? Yes!

Getting away can be as simple as making
a phone call. If you want it badly

enough. I didn't know we needed to shop.
Well, you didn't think to glance in the

fridge? I didn't think about dinner,
okay? I've been at work all day too.

Yeah, alright, doesn't matter.

Takeaway was invented for busy people
anyway.

You know, it was amazing to see how the
whole paper comes together.

I bet.

Ty? Yeah, sure.

You know, they just lay it all out on
computers and then someone somewhere

presses print and the next thing it's
rolled up newspaper on your doorstep.

Gotta read more two than that.

Couldn't carry chicken for me.

Well, I mean, there is a last -minute
panic, which I'm meant to coordinate,

I think I did all right for my first
day. Sounds like you did great. You know

what you want?

Oh, um... How was your day, anyway?

Oh, good. I had to drive by Cronulla. I
think I might have seen a whale.

Really? Oh, I should tell Debbie she's
doing a story on whale watchers.

Oh, it might have been a fishing boat.

Should we get extra rice and just share?

Yeah, sure. That's great. You know, if
you do see anything interesting while

you're out and about, you should call
me. I mean, not that I have any say on

content, but Adam and the team are
great, you know. They might be able to

suggest stuff.

Sure. I can hold.

Well, it sounds like everything's going
well.

Yeah, it is.

You know, all day I was looking forward
to this.

What, hanging around the house ordering
takeaway?

No, seeing you and telling each other
about our days.

Sort of the good thing about having
slightly separate lives.

Yeah, it does keep things kind of fresh.

Yeah, I'm feeling a little bit fresh.

Hi, I'd like to order some green curry
chicken and some rice.

Pick up. Yeah.

32. That is 29.

32. That is 30.

33.

Thanks for coming over.

I thought you'd lost my number. I was
busy.

I was joking.

Too easy.

Come on.

31 and a half.

Hi, Sian.

Hi, Sian.

That's 32.

And see you later.

Where are you guys off to?

Dinner.

Dinner at the pub.

There? Yep.

It works. That's where we are going.

So, what was all about?

Not very subtle.

No.

I just thought that we should have a
talk.

Oh.

Oh. No, not that talk.

I just thought that I should be clear
about what it is I want right now. You

know, make sure we're on the same page.

Okay.

Hi. Good.

So, what page are you on? Well, I really
like how easy it is with us.

You know, it's just chill. We hang out
when we want to hang out and not

when we don't.

You know.

So, you pretty much want things to stay
as they are?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, I'm not after anything else right
now. Great.

Oh, this is good.

Except for one thing. Is this, um...
free -to -see -other -people kind of

No. No.

I'm not doing... That's not even on my
radar.

Why do you want that?

No.

Good.

Okay, good.

I'm happy with that. Yeah, me too. This
is good.

Pants on.

Pants on.

Keep your pants on.

I forgot my keys.

Yep.

Went round the side. I didn't want to
see the thing I wasn't meant to without

camera.

I'll go. See you. Yep.

Carry on.

The car will be fine there.

Whatever I hit, it was soft.

Might have been a lamb.

It was a log.

It must have been a sheep then. It
wasn't a sheep.

I hit something.

Well, whatever it is, it's dead.

Oh, that's not very nice.

Are you sure this is the house?

Yeah, pretty sure.

There's supposed to be a key hidden
underneath an old birdcage near the

door.

Birdcage? No key.

Looks like we don't need it.

Hello?

There's nobody home.

How do you know?

What? They're just sitting in the dark.

Good point.

You reckon they left the door unlocked
on purpose?

on, Ben. It's the country.

You're such a city, Hugh.

And you're not.

Welcome to the middle of nowhere.

There's no power.

Middle of nowhere, no power.

And I've got no signal. No signal, no
power.

How will we ever survive?

Maybe we should drive to that pub and
check in for the night.

or, call me crazy, light a candle.

Want to find a bedroom and snuggle down
for the night?

Phew.

Great. Sorry.

I'll get those matches.

Gee, it's dark, isn't it?

And quiet.

This thing we can hear in a heartbeat.

Gee, again.

What the hell was that?

Somebody coming.

Why'd you call it out for?

Oh, no, we're here.

So, maybe we should yell out.

Shh, just wait a minute.

They're rightly friendly.

Like Wolf Creek friendly.

Yeah. Are you?

Yeah.

Escape can also feel like a step into
the scary unknown.

Emma? Down here.

What's going on?

I solved the mystery of our midnight
visitor. A neighbour dropped a hamper at

the back door.

You're kidding me.

Fresh bread, eggs, field mushrooms, even
some oregano. That must have come from

their garden.

It's unbelievable.

Yep. Not so scary after all.

Now are you glad we came?

Getting used to the idea. And you
haven't even seen the best bit yet. Come

I've been searching all my life.

Thank you.

I feel about six layers of city strength
spooling right off.

It's beautiful, huh?

The only way it could be more beautiful
is if we roast that chook for lunch.

Nice parking, by the way.

I know I hit something.

Morning there.

Get the bread and everything okay?

Yes, that was you.

Yeah, got a call you were coming up.

Thank you.

Do you want some breakfast?

No, no, you enjoy.

I've got a missing goat to find.

Okay, well, if we see it, should we tie
it up or something?

Yeah.

He'll come to you if you call. His
name's Sir Paul. Sir Paul as in...

yeah. Already had a Lennon.

Best of friends they were until I added
a female into the mix.

No, John doesn't talk to Paul.

Oh, that's too bad.

Yeah, it's my own fault, really.

Tempted fate by naming her Yoko.

Anyway, I'm in the house on the other
side of those trees if Sir Paul shows

Okay, we'll keep an eye out.

I'm Ben, by the way, and this is Emma.

Good to meet you, Ben. Emma.

Freddie's the name.

Freddie Barefeet to some.

Aren't your toes cold?

Nah, got feet like old leather.

Anyway, I'd better get back to the
search.

Oh, the power's back on.

We had a tree down yesterday.

It's all fixed now.

Thank you.

Cheerio.

An interesting guy.

Come on, let's get into that breakfast.

Oh, for me?

We're very democratic around here. Oh,
thanks.

Did you see Georgina delivered early?

Yes, I did. I'm just re -reading the
final version now.

Good to know I'm not the only one who
gets re -written. We all get re

Really? And who re -writes you?

Good question.

Nobody. Yeah.

Perk of being the boss, I guess.

No, it's perk of being brilliant and
talented. Oh, yeah, thanks for the

You're welcome. Back to work. Back to
work.

Tell her how brilliant I am. Yeah, he's
brilliant.

Do you reckon you need a special
licence?

I don't know.

Guess I could go to track this law. I'm
sure it's just like driving a car.

Suppose I could get a few pointers from
Fred.

You know what I'd love?

The row of gumboots at the back door.

I don't think I've ever owned a pair.

Not even when you were little?

No, not that I can remember.

You have missed out.

There's nothing better than traipsing
through puddles and keeping your socks

toasty dry inside a gumboot.

Nothing better.

Not much.

Oh, hello.

You must be Sir Paul.

What do we do?

Catch him and take him back, I guess.

He's a chatty little thing, isn't he?

He's cute.

Can we have one in our farm too?

Sure. Happiness is a warm goat.

You did not just say that.

Yes, I did.

Plenty more where that came from.

Look. I think he likes me.

Would you run away with me? Hurry!

Stay, stay.

If I turn and go for the gate, he'll
charge for sure.

All right, McCartney, turn around and go
back to Fred, and I'll make sure Yoko's

the first one in the stew.

Deal?

Come on, give Peace a chance.

For the last time, just turn and walk
away.

to know if he was chasing us or
following us.

He was chasing us. He was definitely
chasing.

Oh, but he seemed so friendly. Yeah, now
that I've tamed him, he didn't seem

when we were squaring off.

His eyes were pure evil. And yet you
lived to tell the tale. You are truly

amazing.

I'm hoping that retaining staff will win
us some Fred Craig.

I'm sure he'll be impressed.

Even if he did wear shoes to do it.

I'm beginning to feel like a real local
around here.

You can practically hear the legends now
of Benny Bearfeet's famous goat

whisperer.

Trying to think of more goat puns,
aren't you?

Yep.

All right, give me what you got.

You've goat to hide your love away.

Oh, that's a bad thing.

Don't you mean?

Bad!

That's terrible!

It turned out the escape was the easy
part.

The hard part would be returning to the
real world.

Read it in the morning.

So you're coming back next week? Haven't
scared you off? Yeah, it turned out I'm

feistier than I thought.

You just asked Georgina. Well, she'll
think twice before trying some lame

on Julie Rafter. She will.

You're not finishing up now? No, I've
got this mail out to do.

Oh, seems a bit menial for someone so
brilliant and talented.

You forgot charming.

No, sadly, I can't delegate this. This
is some volunteer work I do for a local

charity. It's my thing.

Nothing to do with the standard.

Do you need a hand?

No. Look, you've got a family to go home
to. Me, I've got a cat that's probably

conned a meal out of the neighbour by
now, so you should just go. No, I'd like

to help. Really? Dad's picking up Ruby,
so I've got half an hour to spare.

All right, twist my arm.

Not that it needed much twisting.

Good. All right, big question.

Oh. You folder or stuffer?

Can I phone a friend?

No.

Folder. Folder.

Have at it.

Okay, we're going to head off if there's
nothing else you want us to do. No, I'm

finishing off myself. About to kick off
dinner.

Cooking, Dad?

Yeah, I wanted to get something ready
for when Julie gets home from work. Are

you sure you shouldn't just order some
pizza or something, something edible?

I cook.

And I was going to offer you a beer, but
now you can sign off.

I'm sure what Jake meant to say was that
he's just surprised that you don't do

it more often than what a good cook you
are.

Crawler. Frankie, help yourself to a
beer.

And while you're there, could you grab
me one too?

Yeah, actually, I don't mind a bit of
cooking every now and again. Gets me out

of the usual routine.

So things are changing around here? Yep.

And all for the better. You know,
Julie's got a new direction and our

can get one too.

Well, how do you mean?

Well, if you wanted to, you could get
more involved in building the business

together.

Well, what do you see as the other?

Well, a few ideas. You know, you could
start quoting on some jobs, pitching for

jobs, presenting as the face of a
company.

Sure, that sounds great.

Yeah, actually, I've just been online
checking out this upcoming business

seminar. Runs over a weekend in the Blue
Mountains. You know, we could brush up

on our old skills, learn some new ones.

Sound okay?

Hell yeah.

I'm there. All right.

I was using a typewriter. It was like
lugging a Volkswagen around.

Oh, no.

Of course, it got stolen the moment I
stepped off the plane in Rio.

Oh, no, you poor thing. What did you do?

Oh, I couldn't afford a new one. Not on
a writer's salary. Just had to write

everything down. Oh, no. A month.

Fax the pages back.

Always wanted to go to South America.

Well, anywhere, really.

I haven't been there in a while. It's
probably changed a lot.

Don't you miss the travel, though?

Julie, writing a travel book is nothing
like going away on a holiday. It's buses

and aeroplanes and ports. It's not like
lazing around on the beaches every day.

Oh, please. You've lazed around on a lot
of beaches.

You got me. Days upon days, it was
brutal.

Dale, you got to see the world.

It did kill my marriage, though.

Oh? Why's that?

Well, what happens when one of you wants
to stay in the same spot?

Ah, yes, well, that could be a bit
awkward.

Yeah. Well, that's what happened with me
and Gillian.

I wanted a life, she wanted every page
in her passport stamped.

Oh, is that why you divorced?

Well, I wanted to belong somewhere.

I wanted to own a house. I wanted a dog,
mow the lawn.

All that stuff made Gillian break out in
a rash.

Yeah, well, I guess it's not for some
people.

No, it's...

You better go. It's been longer than
half an hour.

Oh, yeah, you're right. Better scoot.

Hey, thanks.

Oh, my pleasure.

Yeah. See you next week. OK.

Hello.

Hey. Is Dad in with Ruby?

Yeah, he's just taking a nap. Yeah,
sorry, mate.

I'm up.

You're getting over time already.

Well, yeah, sort of.

Gee, what are you? Your cookie smells
delicious.

Ta -da!

Hey, did you make that?

Yeah, it's just a casserole.

You don't need to sound so surprised.
You're as bad as Jake.

Oh, no.

I'm impressed, that's all.

What do you mean I'm as bad as Jake?

Oh, he was here for a while after work
and he seemed to think I'd get lost in

the kitchen.

Well, you should have offered to feed
him.

I thought there was plenty.

He's got better things to do than hang
around his boss's house.

I just wanted to talk a few things over.
I'd like getting him and Frankie more

involved in the business.

In what way?

I don't know. Bringing in work,
expanding their skills base, quoting on

For a second there, I thought you were
talking about partnerships.

Well, eventually.

We have talked about it before.

Yeah, but, Jay, but Frankie as well?

Maybe. Well, hang on, she hasn't been
working for us for that long and to be

offered a partnership?

I haven't offered her a partnership.

Frankie is a good worker and she seems
really nice. It's something I've been

considering.

Oh, well, thanks for consulting me.
Well, I was going to consult you.

Hey, gorgeous. She wouldn't go to sleep
without a kiss from her mum. Okay, come

on then.

How was your day?

Tuesday.

That doesn't smell half bad.

I thought we should have a glass of wine
and watch the sunset.

Good idea.

You okay?

I lost my wallet. It was in my jeans
before, and now it's gone.

You think it's out here?

I probably lost it when I was running
around with that damn goat.

He probably ate it.

I doubt it.

I don't know. I've been looking for a
while.

Are you sure it's not in the car?

No, it was in my pocket before.

Is there much money in it? No.

Well, it's not like you need to use it
while we're up here.

True. I know it's a pain, but it's not
that hard to get new cars.

Sorry, I shouldn't let it ruin things.

It's okay.

It's just... Just... My wedding ring was
in it.

I know I told you I put it away, but it
just didn't feel right.

Well, it's fine, Ben, really.

We'll find it.

What about your phone set?

Seen one, seen them all.

Okay. Which do you prefer?

This or this?

Well, the pink is nice if it's a girl,
but if she projectile chucks, that one's

going to hide the stains better.

Hmm.

You sure Ben's okay with all this?

Yeah, of course.

We're not going overboard?

No. Except last night, I thought he was
a bit weird.

No, he was not.

Then when he came home and then boom,
he's just gone?

Babe, don't worry about it.

I hope everything's okay with him and
Emma.

Why wouldn't it be?

Hey, can I show you this? It's a one
-second e -thymometer with an e -canal

illuminator. Should put one in the
baby's first aid case, one for the

and one for the stay -at -home one.

You sure we're not going overboard?

No way.

Press pump. One for the left, one for
the... Yeah.

We've got to have a boy.

Yeah.

Hi.

Oh, I didn't wake you, did I?

Honestly?

Sorry, I was trying to be quiet.

This is nuts. I should just let it go,
huh?

I'll help you. No, you don't have to. Go
back to bed.

I think I'll just have to accept that
Sir Paul ate it.

Five minutes, then we give up.

No, no, seriously, don't worry about it.
There's some cocoa in the cupboard.

I'll get some. I'll make it, you search.

Ah, forget it.

It's not all bad.

It's moving on, right?

I didn't know what to do with the ring,
and now I don't have to worry about it.

I'm such an idiot.

I must have dropped it while I was
making lunch.

That's great, really.

Back to bed?

I'll make up that cocoa first.

Some things have such a strong hold on
you.

It's hard to ever really escape them.

Okay, that I won't miss.

Guess we don't lock it.

Guess not.

Can we come back here again soon?

Do you want to?

Yeah, why wouldn't I?

I just thought that losing your wallet
and the ring...

I love being here with you.

The two of us in this beautiful place.

Hi, Nick.

Hey. Hey, Fred.

How's your pool?

It's escaped again, believe it or not.
How does it keep getting out? No idea.

Maybe it's grown wings.

Oh, come on.

Hey, Yoko, I wanted you to have this.

It's warm.

It has freshly squeezed, real deal,
straight from the udder. Great, thanks.

You're welcome.

Do we really have to leave?

Yeah, I don't envy you. I've not lived
in the city for years.

All those people in shoes, it's not
natural.

See you.

Bye, Fred.

Hopefully we can come back before too
long. Yeah, do.

Make the most of it while you can. The
place has been put up for sale.

Really? Yeah. It'll probably take a
while to sell.

So enjoy your freebie weekends while you
can.

We will.

We'll see you again.

Yeah, until next time then.

Back to work.

Back to traffic.

Like the baby bill.

Hey,

you're back. How was it? It was
brilliant.

Hey, you're back. How was it? It was
brilliant.

You guys look all healthy and relaxed.

Yeah, I feel it too.

You guys have had a bit of a clean up.
No, not really.

Just a small tidy.

Yeah. And all the baby stuff.

What baby stuff?

The pram, the port -a -cot.

The cow mobile. The mushroom lamp, the
rugs, the nappies, the bobbies.

We did pop a thing or two away. Yes. In
our room, though not yours.

I hope it wasn't on my account.

No. No.

No. No.

Just a tidy.

Well, it's good to be home.

We should give these guys a taste of
Yoko's milk.

What? We made a friend. Turns out she
can give milk.

I'll put the kettle on and we'll fill
you guys in.

Cool. We were just heading out for a...

Coffee, remember?

It was your idea.

My idea, yeah. His idea.

So I thought you guys might want to
relax after the drive.

We're good, really.

Deal. We'll see you later.

Bye.

That was sweet of them.

Yes, it was.

Things almost seem back to normal around
here.

Maybe the only thing I needed to escape
from was needing to escape.

Word? No.

Sian?

What's it to you?

Well, since you're big let's keep things
casual talk, your phone doesn't stop

beeping. It's one text. You said goodbye
to her half an hour ago. It is pretty

tragic, mate. Look, any chance you guys
could get lives of your own now?

Go on, text her back. You know you want
to. Well, if I want to, I will.

Oh, you're seeing again tonight?

If by some miracle one of you actually
gets a girlfriend...

I won't hassle you, okay?

Girlfriend. I wasn't talking about me.

Sounds pretty commemorative.

X's are at the end of that message,
because, you know, more than three, and

you're practically married.

Morning, all.

Hey, Frankie. You here to give a hand,
Reverend Jakey? No, here to give you a

hand getting finished on time.

Ah, more the merrier.

Hey, Covey.

What's up?

Nothing, just busy.

How are you doing?

I'm good. You good?

I'm good.

Everything's good.

Good? Good.

Listen, we're really good mates and I
don't want to lose that, so I've got an

idea.

Yep.

What's that?

Well, if you want me to give you a
little bit of room, I can skip after

drinks, I can avoid your house,
basically just stay out of your way as

possible if that makes you feel more
comfortable.

Okay.

That could work.

Oh, you know, I could stop being a knob
about the whole thing.

Yeah.

I've been a knob, haven't I?

It's not going to work us avoiding each
other.

No. No.

But, you know, we could patch now, like
mates would.

Take off for two days, then you come to
work late. And where are you going now?

To help him clear that table. It's work.
Isn't that what I'm supposed to be

doing? Oh, very good then. Off you go.

Remind me again why we came back here.

I forget now.

I want to go back to our farm.

Fred is so much more normal than my mum.

She was right. Being back at work was
like we'd never escaped at all.

Ben Dillon?

He's great.

He's pretty funny.

I reckon.

Sian!

G'day. Matt.

Back again?

No, we are just about to go to a movie.
I mean, you guys could come if you like.

Yeah, you should. Oh, great.

Yeah, well, what are you seeing?

I'm not sure yet. We're trying to
decide. It doesn't matter. I've got a

my cab. All right, heading off now. Have
fun. I'll probably see you tomorrow.

All right, off you go. Catch up.

Koby, are you joining us? Are you
kidding me? I've got the house to

I'm going to strip off down to my job.

I'm going to watch the dance with a beer
or two and I'm going to be as happy as

a pig in poop.

Well, we'll leave you to it.

All right, off you go. Have fun. Don't
get home too early. Bye.

I will probably send you a text on the
way home so you can put your pants back

on.

That would be your choice.

You actually came. Didn't you think I
would?

To be honest, I wasn't sure.

I said I was keen.

Yeah, but I thought that was just to get
me off the phone.

You're an idiot.

Oh, you've come here to insult me,
that's nice. We've gone to all the

catering and setting up a bar. Look out,
we're going to be drinking beer out of

glasses next. Hey, don't get carried
away.

Take a seat.

I'm assuming one of these beers is for
me. Yep, well, that's why you're here.

It's a bit sad to drink alone.

Yeah, you're right, it is. I think art
is one of those things that's better

shared too. A bit of atmosphere helps
move it along.

You know, I don't think I've ever
actually sat down and watched a game of

You have not lived.

Really? New experiences.

Bring it. Game on.

That man's actually wearing sweatbands
like a real athlete.

Is that good?

That's really good.

People pack up their old lives and break
free to new places all the time.

They do it every day.

I thought I'd see you back here.

Didn't think it'd be quite so soon.

Hi, Fred.

Might do a bit of yabbing.

Come with me if you like.

Yeah. Why do you reckon they're asking
for this place?

Dunno.

Escape doesn't happen by accident.

It starts with a plan.
