[birds calling]

- Ugh! - [groans]

[boys] Morning, Uncle Ned!

[sighs]

? Please don't fall behind ?

? You belong beside ?

? I've been falling... [Taya] Yuck.

? ...and chasing till this time ?

? So crazy, 'bout to lose my mind in your loving, girl, and ?

? So crazy, 'bout to lose my mind with your loving, girl, and ?

? Come on, let me know ?

? Bring me into the lonely body ?

? Come on, let me go ?

? Bring me inside to love your body ?

? My conscience deserves a, a grand jury, baby ?

? Here we go again ?

? I'm on the stand, and, goddamn, I'm famous ?

[birds calling]

If he's to have the dogs over Christmas against your wishes, Victoria...

- [clattering] - ...he'll need the court to change the orders.

[clears throat] Sorry, sorry, Victoria.

They don't wash themselves, you know?

So we'll need to head him off at the pass.

It's Ned you need to be heading off to.

I'll look at the current orders and get back to you.

Thanks, Victoria! Talk soon. Bye.

Really? I was with a client.

Work, work, work, work, work, work.

She's my first Darwin client! I'm lucky to have her. It's important.

What's important is you sort things out with Ned.

Did you see how miserable Taya was this morning?

He'll be back soon enough. Once he stops sooking.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, guys. Real helpful.

- Oh, what, helpful? Doing the washing up? - I dropped your daughter off to school!

OK, alright! I'll call him now.

Happy? Jeez.

[hold music plays]

- [music continues] - [beeping]

[Ned] Nope.

- My house has been broken into. - What?

The dishes have been done. The laundry's been folded.

And the floor's been vacuumed.

- And mopped. - Yeah, yeah. I handled that.

Yeah, I knew that. So, uh, what are you doing now?

Because my yard-

Just trying to find out if there's any news on my truck from the police.

Getting the impression I'm not their first priority.

Trust me, you don't want to be.

We're better off taking matters into our own hands.

- How? - With your bean poles.

- What? - Your foot Falcon.

- What? - Your legs. What else?

But they... they could have gotten anywhere.

A needle in a haystack.

Yeah, but I know the kids in this neighbourhood

most likely to steal the needle.

You know what?

That truck was low on fuel.

Mmm?

They can't have gotten far.

The haystack's getting smaller already.

Let's go.

Thanks for having me, Leroy.

It's been so nice to spend time with you and the kids.

Yeah, stay as long as you want.

- Sis was out of line. - Yeah, exactly! Thank you.

She asked me to step in as Bub's father figure, and I did. For what?

True, but, settle, yeah?

- It's not like you're the first. - What do you mean?

Well, Bub's always had biggest mob dads. Catch up, brother.

Uncle Trev, me.

We've tried not to step on your toes, but it hasn't been easy.

Now I get it.

That makes sense!

That's why you've got beef with me.

Beef? [laughs] I haven't got beef.

Are you kidding? You're a beef stroganoff

with a side of beef cheeks and a beef burger to mop it up.

- Oi, you want a bloody go? - See?

Look, I know I've got some anger whatevers,

- but... I'm working on it. - Mmm.

And I'll admit that I overreacted when I made you coach.

But, you know what?

With our powers combined...

You break them down, I build them back up.

Ouss! See?

- Great minds think... - Alike?

Oi, oi, young people!

- Where'd you get those jaffles? - [boy] Skate park, bruz.

- Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, over there.

[maracas shaking]

Daphne?

- I think I've got the chorus down pat. - Fantastic. Can't wait to hear it.

Uncle!

We need to have a yarn.

Uh-oh!

Let me ask you this,

does Aunty Daffy help you tinker with your boat?

[laughs] No, of course not! That's my-

Thing?

Right. Yeah.

- Oh, right. - Yeah.

I know, Unc.

But women's business is...

Women's business.

- Yeah. - Mm.

Yeah.

[Dana] Righto!

Yoko's gone!

[sighs]

[Ned] Ah, there they are.

Uh, uh, uh. Give that here.

- [indistinct chatter] - [man] Do you want a drink with that?

- Yeah. - Go on, Tony Hawk, get out of here.

It's that sad, lonely dude from last night's sesh.

Hey, you want a jaff, bruz?

No, I don't want a jaff, bruz.

And I'm not sad and lonely. I've got Leroy.

Oi, this is nice. You should try it.

No, thank you.

You stole my truck, man.

Hey, you said we could help ourselves to anything.

- We were only gonna bring it back. - Just give me the keys.

Hey, Tickles, give Chef the special.

Special? Look, I think it's cute that you guys are playing shop.

I've got a legitimate business to run here.

Let me introduce Freedom Cheese Special.

Try it, man.

Whoa! Jaffle-gasm, man!

Ooh, yeah.

How'd you get the Freedom Cheese skirt so symmetrical in the...

in the jaffle maker?

Stick it in after.

Mm-hm.

Nice.

Do you fellas fancy a job?

Nah, not really.

- What, a job-job? - Casual.

How casual?

Casual as, bruz.

[indistinct chatter]

[Trevor sighs]

[typing continues]

[stops typing, inhales]

OK.

What is it?

What is it that couldn't possibly wait until I got home?

It's your mother. Well, I don't understand her.

See, one minute she's hot,

the next minute, she's shutting the gate on me, cold!

What am I doing wrong?

- What? - Well, she's already left me once.

I don't want her doing that again.

So come on, tell me what to do.

Oh, Dad.

I don't know.

I mean, you have let yourself go a bit.

Have I?

- Impossible. - What have I done now?

You made me think, about Ned.

What's wrong with that?

- [Lauren groans] - [knocking]

I need to see him.

I'm not ready to give him up yet.

Whose side are you on?

The side that cooks me breakfast.

No-one likes a smart-arse, Leroy.

Move.

Right, we need to talk.

Can you stop that?

I have something important to say.

First, I want to acknowledge how much you help with Taya.

So from now on, I'm going to tell you what I am doing for Bub

before I do it.

Cool? Cool.

So you may now return home, continue doing your part,

and quit being a sook.

[Ned] Oh, I'm sorry. Was that supposed to be an apology?

[groans]

- [Lauren] Can't say I didn't try! - [door opens]

- [door opens] - You've lost your touch, Counsellor.

I've heard better arguments on Judge Judy!

[growls]

[Victoria] Look at them, getting fat.

Because he keeps feeding them treats, trying to turn them against me.

I mean, it is bad enough that I am spending Christmas alone,

and the thought that I have to wake up on Christmas morning

without my babies is just too much.

He had them last year, so, under court order, it's your turn.

What is she doing here? You snooping again?

Mum! Sorry.

I know how these surprise department visits work

and it's never good news for blackfellas.

No, no, no. Victoria's a client.

- I invited her, Mum. - You're kidding!

- No, why? - You're in business with her?

Yes. Why is making a living suddenly a crime in this household?

You want to get your priorities straight, daught!

Jingos!

A divorce lawyer, alright!

Sorry. Family.

[gentle guitar music plays]

What's up, Bub?

Why is Uncle Ned with Uncle Leroy?

Oh, he's just having a sleepover.

Did I do something wrong? Is he mad at me?

Of course not.

Come here.

Uncle Ned will be back soon.

[inhales and exhales deeply]

You've lost me. What?

You know, like on the TV show.

I want you to give me a full... Um...

What do they call it? A makeover.

Rebranding, trendy-style.

I want to be a new man.

So, just 'cause I'm gay, you think I know fashion crap?

- Is that it? - [laughs] No, no, no.

Well, a little bit.

Well, let's face it, you do look pretty dapper.

Well, I'm going to need some research time for this...

shambles.

Back here, bring a bunch of clothes from home.

Second thought, scratch that.

I'll go shopping.

Let's get this card ring set up.

These aunties are going to be here soon.

Righto.

[? ?]

[knocking loudly]

- [indistinct chatter] - Hold on.

[knocking loudly]

Hey, you might be wearing my welcome mat out.

I'm here for Ngipurnayi.

If I can talk my issues out with Ned, I'm not sure why you can't.

I'm not backing down just so you can keep your mate.

Hey!

[chatter and laughter]

Where are we up to now? What number are we up to?

Traitors!

What are you all doing here?

- To play. - Cards.

Boosting the black economy, sis.

- If you want in, you've got to pay up, sis. - [aunties] Mm-hm!

This mob have been hoeing into the jaffles, but not me.

Apparently, I've let myself go a bit.

Don't! You can't say that to your father-one!

- [all] Mmm! - [Trevor] Yeah.

Ned, can I have a word alone, please?

If you want to stab me in the front, rather than the back this time,

by all means, but you can do it in front of my friends, thank you.

Maybe I didn't word it right the last time we spoke,

but I am responsible for Taya's well-being.

Oh! You're responsible, are you? That's interesting.

Who does the cooking?

The coaching? The washing?

He's a keeper.

- Thank you. - [aunties] Mmm.

- Not many like that around. - Good man.

OK. Yeah.

Congratulations for doing your half of the housework.

Should I send your trophy here, or the house where Bub lives?

[murmuring]

Ooh!

Uh...

The fact that you are punishing me is irritating, but I get it.

But this behaviour is not fair on Bub.

Oh, my behaviour isn't fair on Bub, is it?

You just blew up the family unit she'd only just got used to.

How is this my fault?

OK.

Say you and I raise Bub without telling her about Jarad.

What then?

She's just meant to grow into a confused and insecure adult?

No. She will grow up into an intelligent young person

who will be emotionally ready to meet her biological father on her own terms,

not yours.

If this was really about Bub, you'd have consulted her first.

[breathing in, murmuring]

Well, I hope you turn up to Taya's final game tomorrow.

For her sake.

Rightio, then. Come on. Let's get to business.

- That was embarrassing. - I need a bloody win.

[all chatter indistinctly]

[Trevor] Alright, whose bet?

[indistinct chatter]

[guitar music plays]

[keys jangle softly]

Taya! Game day! Come on!

Hey! Why aren't you dressed?

Last game of the season, and Aunty Dana's got a gig after.

- Come on! - I'm not playing.

What do you mean?

You always play.

I can't without Uncle Ned.

But your sisters will be there.

Jarad says they're so excited to meet you.

I have always wanted a sister.

Well, now you have two.

OK, I guess I'll go.

But I'm not sure I'll play.

Has anyone seen Trevor?

He usually drives me mad on game day.

[? Baker Boy: "Cool As Hell"]

? I've been feeling like a lone wolf ?

? Dancing in the streetlight, howling at the moon ?

? When I hear the beat... [song continues in Yolngu Matha]

No.

[song continues in English and Yolngu Matha]

Ugh!

Mm!

? I said, ooh ?

? You got me feeling myself ?

? Now I put it on you...

[Leroy laughs]

? Cool as hell ?

No. [laughs]

? You make me feel the type a way ?

? Rirrakay ?

? You can be my favourite ?

? Catch my vibe and fly away ?

? Rirrakay...

Ooh!

Uh! Ooh!

? Is the person looking back at you really on track? ?

? Are you really on the path to where you want to be...

Crack and sack time.

? I said, ooh ?

? You got me feeling myself...

[Trevor screams]

? Cool as hell ?

? Marrkap ?

You going to get changed or what?

I thought Uncle Ned would be here by now.

[Daffy] Mm.

Me too, Bub.

Who do we have here?

Taya, this is Penny and Asher.

- We came to watch you play. - Yeah.

Thanks. Can I go play?

Well, go on then. Off you go.

It's good she knows her sisters.

It is. Thank you so much for bringing them.

She was hoping you were going to come.

No worries.

So what kind of game we got in store today then?

Well, if we lose, we'll remain on the bottom of the ladder.

But if we win, it'll be a miracle.

[whispers] And I don't believe in miracles.

[chuckles] So, keep my expectations low, then?

That would be wise.

- Mana-then. - Mana-then.

[wolf whistles]

Whose man?

? Ooh ?

? You got me feeling myself ?

? Now I put it on you...

Ooh. Oh, my!

? Cool as hell ?

? I said, ooh...

What's wrong with you?

Surprise. For later.

Ooh! Later.

Right now, I'm needed on the sidelines.

? You make me feel the type a way...

- Should we take him to hospital? - Oh, leave him alone.

[song fades]

- [whistle blows] - [woman] Go, Tigers!

[cheering]

- [crowd groans] - [referee blows whistle and calls out]

They're worse than we are.

They're worse than we are!

Yeah. Her mind's not in the game.

If Taya could get her act together...

Yeah, we might just have a chance.

I hate to say it, but...

We need Ned.

- Let's go. - Come on.

Go Taya! Go Taya!

Hey, where are they going? Dad never leaves a game.

Ooh! [Trevor murmurs]

- Come on, Unc! - I'm bloody trying!

[Ned] Alright, we're closing down, so... Yeah.

- Put the sauce in the fridge... - [tyres screech]

...and the bread goes underneath the coffee machine.

Yeah, sure.

- It's Taya. - It's an emergency.

- Is she hurt? - [Leroy] No, she's not hurt.

But we might just win this game.

And we don't have time for all this. Taya needs you.

Lauren doesn't think so.

[scoffs] Blow it out your arse!

No, no, no, no. She's made her position perfectly clear.

So why don't you talk to Lauren and have... whatever intervention this is?

Are you really going to punish a black girl

for wanting a connection with her black dad?

Get over yourself.

I thought we were friends, Leroy.

No, Ned. We're not friends.

We're family.

And family call each other out on their bullshit.

Taya needs you, Ned.

And not just on the field.

[sighs]

- [whistle blows] - [indistinct chatter]

- Everyone got an orange? - Aunty Lauren!

Aunty Lauren, can I go to Tiwi? Can I?

- The bread could be fresher. - Can I?

You want it?

Hey. What? Can I stay at, um, Penny and Asher's?

Uh, yeah, sure.

Just pick one, mulligah!

- [boy] But that orange... - [Lauren] They're all the same!

Righto, you lot. Don't focus on the scoreboard.

Just put your big-kid pants on and go out there and smash them.

I know you're injured. I know you're broken.

I know you're not very good. But that's your fault.

One quarter! One quarter to go out there and kick one goal.

And I know one of youse have got it in ya.

Just do something. Do... anything.

Don't think. Just do.

Look at that scoreboard! That is amazing!

This is our best game yet!

So, we've got one quarter to do this.

Let's cook some omelettes.

[all] Yes, Chef!

- Let's kick some eggs. - [all] Yes, Chef!

Right through those chopsticks!

- [all] Yes, Chef! - Yeah! Let's go, Tigers!

- Let's go, Tigers! - [cheering]

[Leroy] Come on!

- Come on, go, go, go! - Let's kick these omelettes!

Kick... Kick the eggs.

- Kick the eggs. - Kick the eggs.

- Come on, guys! Whoo! - Yeah!

- [whistle blows] - [cheering]

- Yes! - [whistle blows]

- Yeah! - Come on!

- Go, Bub! - Well done, Bub! That was great!

[Leroy] One goal. We only need one goal!

[Ned] You've got it, Bub!

[Trevor] Go, Bub!

[? ?]

[Jarad] Taya!

Eyes on me, Bub!

- Come on, you can do it! - What's he doing here?

- Hey? - Come on, Bub!

Don't know.

Kick it to me!

Come on, you can do it. You can do it.

- [whistle blows] - [cheering]

[whistle blows]

[cheering continues]

You see? This is what winning feels like!

It feels pretty good.

[both laugh]

[Ned] Yes! Oh, Bub!

You were amazing! You were amazing! Well done!

[Lauren] You did it! You did it!

Dad!

You're a superstar!

Uncle Ned'O, meet my sisters.

- Very pleased to meet you. - It's nice to meet you.

I want to spend the Christmas holidays with them in Tiwi.

Aunty Lauren said it was OK.

- Let's go! - I didn't...

Did she? Another decision I wasn't included in.

But I didn't say any-

You said we weren't going to lose her.

You said I was worrying about things that weren't going to happen.

We still have Taya with us.

Not for Christmas!

Tiwi in the wet season.

How often are we going to get to see her?

I don't know where she got that idea from.

Have you seen your mother?

Uh, yes.

She's gone to the pub. She said she'd meet us there.

Oh. Wish she'd told me.

Look, Dana's got a gig.

Everyone's celebrating. Please come.

[Dana singing] ? You ?

? Oh ?

? So if you look me in the eye ?

? And you'll know this ain't a lie ?

? When I say I love you ?

? I love you ?

? Love you, love you, love you, you ?

? Love you, love you

? I love you, love you, love you, you ?

? I love you, love you, love you, you...

No Ned?

No. Did you find Mum?

No.

? Tell me, do you feel it? ?

? Yeah ?

? It's all about love ?

[cheering]

Thank you. Thank you.

Now I'd like for you all to give a big hand

to our next very special guest.

[cheering]

[band plays blues music]

? If I ever leave you, baby ?

? You can say, "I told you so" ?

? And if I ever hurt you ?

? You know I hurt myself as well ?

? Is that any way for a girl to carry on? ?

? Do you think I want my loved one gone? ?

? Said I love you ?

? More than you'll ever know ?

? More than you'll ever know...

Sorry I didn't let you join rehearsals.

But she wanted to surprise you.

Surprise!

? When I wasn't making much money ?

? You know where my paycheck went ?

? You know I brought it home for you, baby ?

? And I never spent a red cent ?

? Oh, oh ?

? Is that any way for a girl to carry on? ?

? Do you think I want my loved one gone? ?

? Said I love you ?

? More than you'll ever know ?

? Hey, more than you'll ever know ?

? Mmm ?

[? ?]
