[Nina] Oh, shit.

Shit.

Yes. Hello. Um, I'm leaving a note.

Dear owner of crappy little rust bucket,

although I doubt your vehicle is even roadworthy,

I'm leaving a note so that I may incur

full cost of your new bodywork

and I'm not just doing it because someone's watching me,

I'm doing it because I'm a good

and honorable person.

Am I such a good person?

I'm obsessed with a married man for God's sake.

She's listening to that voice in her head again.

[Zara] She does even know we're standing here

talking about her.

Amazing for someone who can make quick decisions

in a medical emergency.

[Zara] And now, she doesn't even know

which direction to walk in.

[sighs]

You and me, this way.

-Come on. -I've got to go.

No, no, no. You got to go this way.

-[Nina] Why? -[Kim] We need to talk.

Oh!

Should you be in a relationship with Chris Havel,

yes or no?

Isn't it a little undignified,

that we're dissecting my love life?

[Kim] In the pros column,

Chris Havel is blistering hot.

Oh.

And he's crazy about you.

Crazy...

about Nina.

While on the subject of crazy,

you did both choose to marry mentals, yeah.

Hobbies...

in common.

Okay. So, now, cons column.

He's still married technically.

With a child.

-Oh. -[man] Oh,

I do enjoy a vigorous round

of whiteboard analysis.

What have we decided?

[music playing]

[Chris] So...

Uh, I can't-- I can't be the other woman.

I've watched--I've watched women get caught in that.

I've seen married man, other woman,

disease, sweep through hospitals

like flesh-eating bacteria and I can never,

never, never be that woman.

Nina, you're not. You're not the other woman

because I'm not a married man.

I'm a separated man.

How much have you told her about me?

Look, I'm gonna sort this out.

[Nina] So he hasn't even told her.

There's a patient in 203, her blood pressure's up.

Is this a patient we're already looked after?

What?

You'll see.

Stacey, hi.

Jeez, I lucked out in the doctor department.

Oh, she's just here in case I go feral, you know,

-try and tear your throat out. -[Nina] Oh.

What's the etiquette here?

Should I--should I make small talk

with the armed individual guarding my patient?

I violated parole.

It's the quickest way to get a comfy bed.

Parole, huh?

Uh, the doctor at the correctional facility...

-Right. -[Nina] ...explained

that your blood pressure might be a little bit high.

That can be the first sign of preeclampsia.

Oh, shit.

I know someone who had that

-and she had a stroke. -Oh, don't worry.

Your blood pressure's not that high.

We'll look after you

and if we need to induce labor early, we will.

Hey, Nina, can you tell Billie that I wanna talk to her?

[Mick] On my way past, I thought you might like one.

Oh, am I allowed to bring you a coffee?

Yeah, 'cause that's the kind of thing

that friends do for each other.

Okay.

But we couldn't, for example,

go out Friday night, like, sometimes

friends even have sleepovers.

No, they don't.

[Mick] The other week was an exception,

I'm just your sex toy?

Well, are you complaining?

Never. Always happy to be your sex toy.

Do you wanna see where my batteries go?

[phone ringing]

Darcy Proudman Real Estate.

One moment please.

Thanks for the coffee.

You're very welcome.

[woman] Diarrhea,

insomnia, cardiac arrhythmia,

dizziness, blurred vision.

Uh, there's obviously a slight chance

of this happening though, right?

The medication is still in it's a trial phase.

Urinary incontinence,

anal leakage, disturbance to sexual function.

Uh, I think I've made a mistake.

Am I in the right place?

I'm here for the trial study.

-[woman] And you are? -Chloe Fraser.

[woman] You'll need to fill out these forms.

[Chloe] Okay.

Are you done with that?

No.

Yes. I mean, no.

No, I'm signing too, as well.

I am, see.

Here you go. All yours.

Thanks.

This, leave this one for later.

[phone chiming]

Mom, I'm at work.

Jimmy's gone in for the drug trial.

Drug company operatives. They're gonna pump him

full of God knows what for five days.

[Nina] So, no different to living with you?

Oh, wait. Yes, it is,

because at the research clinic,

Jimmy's being informed that he's being drugged.

When a mother has her child's best interest at heart--

Have you told him?

[Geraldine] What would that achieve?

Nothing. Uh, I've got to go.

-Sorry. Bye. Mom, bye. -Uh...

[elevator dings]

Oh, hello.

Hey.

So, have you got a locked ward for those

thieving criminal patients.

Stacey's just down there in 203.

If there's any equipment missing when she leaves,

I know which pawnshop she goes to.

Hey.

So, you're already traveling with an entourage now.

Yeah, like a bad smell.

I bought Mick a new guitar.

I needed the money.

I still do.

So, is that why I'm here?

You need another loan?

You know, Billie,

why don't you just forget it, you know?

Why don't you just--

you just go.

Well, I'm here now.

Why waste the trip? How much do you need?

It was just a guitar, okay?

But obviously, that's all you care about these days,

your--all your stuff

and your perfect life.

Why did you wanna see me?

I was gonna ask--

I just wanted to have somebody with me

and I was gonna ask you.

[music playing]

I just wanted to check.

The first payment goes through on Thursday

because I'm applying for a loan. I need that money

to be in my account by then.

[woman] Ring the accounts people.

I handle the drugs, not the cash.

Okay.

What kind of loan?

A business loan.

So, you're like some kind of entrepreneur

and that's why you want money?

Why are you here? For the free cot?

[woman] Maybe he's just here for the hell of it.

Well, yeah. That's pretty much it.

I mean, why not? It's an experience, right?

Hey, can you give us a hint

as to what that stuff is?

Didn't you read the fine print? They can't.

That would compromise the outcome of the study.

Well, shoot me up.

What's the worst that can happen, eh?

Oh. [mumbling]

[woman shouting]

No.

I never realized how much pubic hair

you have to look at all day.

Would you listen to the noises this woman's making?

No, I'd rather not. I'm eating my lunch.

Hey, hey, don't watch this. There's people.

Well, it's research.

Can I handle being Stacey's support person?

I think it's dead, Nina.

Why hasn't he told her about me?

[Billie] He will.

It's just men. They're stupid cowards

about stuff like that.

-Are they? -Oh, yeah.

-Hi. -Hi.

Sorry I'm late.

I'm all right. Thanks.

-Not eating? -No. I ate earlier.

Would you look at this face?

What's going on with you?

Today is one of my baby-free days.

Oh, my God. You spotted the hot fireman.

I decided to go to the movies.

A least I chose a cinema completely deserted.

I hear a person walk down the aisle

and sit one seat away from me.

-Why do people do that? -Would you shut up?

-Sorry. -It was him.

-It was the hot fireman. -[laughs]

-What happened next? -Oh, uh, the film started.

-[Billie] Did you talk to him? -[Cherie] Oh,

I could smell his lovely coconut shampoo.

-Oh. -[Nina] Okay.

[woman] ♪ Black, red ♪

And then something went wrong with the sound.

[woman] ♪ And all-time high ♪

♪ You and I ♪

Hi, there.

Check out my perfect hair

even though this beach is incredibly windy.

Who cares about your hair?

I'm walking along this pail

looking tormented and intriguing.

[man] So, I see.

Hey, do you wanna bail?

Maybe grab something to eat?

No, I'm too busy looking wistfully out to sea.

No. I mean,

do you wanna grab some lunch?

And we got something to eat.

What did you talk about?

Well, he asked me what I did

when I wasn't stalking him.

I'm a nurse.

So, if we got a fancy dress party to go to,

then we got the costumes covered.

[laughs]

So, anyway, we've got two free tickets

to see that movie again.

How about tonight?

Yeah.

[Nina] And he likes kids. He's cool about Ray?

Yeah. Uh-hmm.

What? You haven't got around to telling him

that you've got a baby?

Uh, I was going to.

I sort of missed the moment.

I mean, how do you bring up that sort of thing?

Just take a breath and do it.

Uh, okay. I will.

I'll tell him, tonight, definitely.

[indistinct chatter]

[Jimmy] Oh, my muscles feel really tight.

It's your imagination.

Maybe you're on the placebo.

Do you ever stop talking?

So what's this business of yours?

Uh, hello.

Are we in grade three here?

I see you make umbrellas.

Parasols for the sun, not the rain.

[Jimmy] Oh, right. I guess--

I didn't ask for your opinion.

[Jimmy] Well, they're gonna ask you these questions at the bank.

Hey, Why don't we do a role play of the interview?

I could be the bank guy and you could practice.

Yeah. Good idea.

[woman] Here.

Uh, hey, Nurse Mikhaf, um,

I've got a ringing sound in this ear

and in the other ear, I can hear the Avatar soundtrack,

-should I be having it? -Actually, I think

I might have a problem with my ears as well

because I've been hearing this whining noise

all day long.

Yeah. Well, just in case

we are testing a libido drug,

I just don't think it's working.

Yeah. I'm with you on that one.

So what's the story with Alice?

Is she like froth at the mouth crazy,

one of those emotional vampires?

I don't know.

Okay. What about the vibe between her and Chris?

It's not like they have a viable marriage.

-Do they? -I don't know.

Okay. That's your problem.

It's exaggerated fear of the unknown.

You've always built things up in your head.

It's like the wart monster

that used to live in the wardrobe.

What?

[Billie] Remember? I used to shine the torch in

to show you that there was nothing to worry about.

We need to shine a light

-on the wart monster. -Huh?

The Chris-Alice situation.

No. I don't wanna shine any torches.

You know their address, don't you?

-Let's go. -[scoffs]

No.

No.

No.

-No. -[Billie] Yes.

I...

[Nina] Oh, this feels wrong on so many levels.

[Billie] Yeah.

Maybe we should just knock on the door?

No!

Nins, I'm a real estate agent.

Surveillance without suspicions.

No. No.

Movement, movement, movement, movement, movement.

Down, down.

Okay. Excellent. Excellent.

He's with her, so we can monitor body language.

-Is he? -Yes. Yes.

[Nina] I can't see.

How do they look?

Is it--is it fraud.

Does it look like he's told her about me?

Well, it's inconclusive

at this point.

Okay.

-Target's moving. -Are they driving?

No. On foot.

[Nina] Well, don't you follow-- don't follow them yet.

-Nins, I've done this before. -Just let them get ahead

a little bit. Billie, please.

-Relax. Relax, relax. -Please. Billie, please.

You're gonna thank me for this.

There's no kind of avert signs of hostility,

but there's no intimate touching either.

Check out the hair of this mad woman here.

-Oh, oh, oh, oh. -[Nina] What?

-They're going into the shop. -Oh.

-Don't stop. -[Billie] Yeah.

-[Nina] Don't stop here. -[Billie] Yup.

-[Nina] Billie. -[Billie] I'm going in.

-[Nina] No. -[Billie] Yup.

-No. No. -Nina, you can listen to the--

-okay. Listen to the radio. -Oh, Billie, don't leave me.

Shush, shush.

Oh, God.

Oh.

Oh.

Hello.

Hi, Chris.

[Chris] Hi, Billie.

-Hi. -[Billie] What are you doing

loitering around this part of town?

Well, I just live up the street.

-[Billie] Oh. -Yeah.

Hello.

Hi.

-[Chris] This is Alice. -[Alice] Hi.

-Hi. -Hi.

Well, I'm gonna...

[Alice] Oh, I dropped them.

You got them?

[phone chiming]

Billie, what is going on in there?

[laughs] Oh, you know how it is.

So what do you want?

What do I want?

I wanna be with Chris

without having to worry about his wife.

No. No, we don't have the nutty ones.

What about the caramelly swirly ones?

Oh, you were just pretending to ask.

[Billie] Okay. She's got

icing sugar, coco and pettipants.

We're looking at a baking scenario.

What?

Do they look together?

Negative. No touching of the erogenous zones.

Hey.

Oh, they're silver balls for cakes.

[Alice] Yeah.

Don't talk to me about silver balls

when my head's exploding.

They look great, but they make your teeth...

They make your teeth feel greatly, I know.

But they will make our cake looks fabulous, won't they, Luc?

[Billie] Yeah.

Yeah.

Warning, warning, male target coming your way.

I can't--what? I didn't catch that.

No, no, that's all right.

[gasps]

[Chris] Oh, okay.

[Chris] You've got the key, right?

Yeah. It's in the-- it's in the top pocket of my--

um...

uh, I can, um--

I can be there later.

We'll look at it together.

Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

No. I don't want an ice cream.

[Alice] Okay. So we've got to do a bit more flour.

We'll do a bit more flour first and then we'll put the eggs in.

-Ready? -Would you like help?

No, I'm fine. Thanks.

And tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.

Beautiful.

It's rain.

Right, now, can we put the eggs in?

[Alice] Perfect.

Now, do you wanna use the spoon?

-[Lucy] This one. -[Alice] Okay.

One second.

Oh, that's beautiful, sweetie.

That looks good.

-Yup. -[plate clatters]

[Alice] Oh, don't worry, sweetie.

-Lucy, don't worry, honey. -[Lucy cries]

Your mommy is pretty good at making messes.

-I think someone's crying. -[Alice] Okay.

Mom, she's fine. Just leave it.

Yes. You are the one

who would know about leaving her.

[Alice] Please, mom, I am trying.

You think it's so simple?

You can just come back here

and pretend that nothing has ever happened?

[Alice] No, no, I don't think it's simple!

Stop!

I can feel mom's eyes on me

like that woman

can burn a skin off my body

in two seconds, and Lucy,

I so want things to be good, but I just--

maybe I should have just stayed away altogether.

Alice, come on.

I didn't mean it.

-Can't go on like this, Alice-- -Chris, I am trying.

-Believe me. I'm... -I know. I'm just saying

you can't keep living in a hotel,

only seeing her in short bursts.

I mean, you need space.

I need to move out and you need to move in.

You need a chance to establish something with her.

-No, no, Lucy needs you more. -Uh, listen,

I have breakfast with her every morning.

She'll never know the difference.

Come and live here with her

and I'll find somewhere else to stay for a while.

[Stacey] I can't do it!

Just leave me here.

[Billie] Kim, um, I just got a message about Stacey.

[Kim] Uh-hmm. She's in labor.

You're down as the support person.

See, this is the thing. I didn't actually say yes.

Um, I'm still thinking about it.

-Um... -[Stacey] Get your hands off me.

Uh, make it stop!

That's her, isn't it?

Uh-huh.

We've endured four hours of it. It's your turn now.

I just--I don't think I'm the right kind of person.

-Kim, she drew blood this time. -Uh, bloody hell.

Oh, my...

[woman] Here you go.

Off we go. You're coming with me.

-I can't do this. -[Kim] Yes, you can.

Your sister needs all the help she can get with this one.

[Stacey screams]

Hi.

[Stacey] Hey,

hey, I didn't think you'd make it.

Yeah. No, I'm ready to pull a baby out myself if I have to.

-Oh! -[Nina] Oh, Jesus.

[Stacey groaning]

[Nina] Yeah. Okay.

You can have an epidural

if I call the anesthetist now.

Yeah. No, half a bottle of tequila

didn't stop her from screaming the pipe down.

So if it's okay with you, Stace,

I'm gonna say yes to the epidural.

Yeah. Uh, get the guy with the drugs up here now.

Yup.

[Stacey groaning]

Hi.

There's something important

-you need to know. -Okay.

Something I should've already told you.

Sure.

The thing is...

I'm starting to get worried now.

I heard the movie is crap.

So, I thought maybe we could have dinner instead.

Yeah. Sure.

-Great. -Okay.

[cell phone ringing]

[Chris] Ahoy. It's Chris Havel here.

Sorry, I can't take your call.

Please leave a message after the beep.

[beep]

Hi. Chris, it's Nina.

Sorry about the chewing.

I'm just with a very difficult patient

and I need a sugar hit.

Seems to be sucking all the moisture out of my mouth.

I can't seem to swallow. It's...

[Chris] Sorry. I can't take your call.

Please leave a message after the beep.

-[beep] -Hi. Hi again.

It's me.

I just-- the reason I was calling

was because I just wanted to let you know

that I'm incredible sorry for the stalking today.

Not stalking as such.

We were shining a torch into your wardrobe.

It's--not your wardrobe.

I--we weren't snooping in your-- I would never do that.

I'd never do that to you.

Hi.

Hey.

[Chloe] Can you sleep?

Me neither.

[stuttering] I'm just reading some magazine.

[music playing]

[Stacey] I can't do it!

Leave. Leave me alone.

What are you doing here?

[Stacey] Leave me alone.

I brought you some supplies.

It's, um--

well, there's juice boxes in here and protein bars.

I mean, you could be in there all night.

Oh, and, um, this; you'll need this.

You need something to wet the kid's head with.

[Stacey] Fuck me!

[groaning]

[Mick] How's it going in there?

One thing, it's really, really loud.

And I'm not really a support person.

Hey, I've seen you be supportive,

-more than once, in fact. -Yeah.

I don't think I can do this, Mick.

You are doing it.

Oh, Mick.

Hi.

Never, never, never, never.

Billie, the baby's crowning.

[Stacey] Can't do it.

Come on. Now.

-Uh-hmm. Go. -[Nina] Billie.

Thanks.

[Stacey groaning]

Get away! That is not helping.

[Nina] Okay. Just hang in there, Stacey,

because you're nearly there.

I can't.

It's ripping me apart. I can't do it.

Come on. It's just like with Anna Holding.

You remember her?

She was just this massive tongue-in-cheek.

She's five times the size of both me and Stacey.

She told Stacey she was gonna bash her.

Yeah, and you stood up to her. You fought back.

Uh, she bashed the shit out of me.

Exactly. You knew she was a beast,

so you didn't fight it.

You went to your head and you let it wash over you.

And pushing out this baby

is like being bashed by a massive tongue-in-cheek.

So I know you can handle it.

I know you can. Come on.

Just work with the contraction.

Stacey, work with it. Okay?

Give me one big push.

[screaming]

[Nina] Ah, there you go. We've got a head.

Oh my God. Stace, there it is. It's got a head.

[Nina] Another big push

and we'll have a little baby.

[Stacey screaming]

[Nina] Oh, well done.

Here we go.

It's a little boy, Stacey.

It's a beautiful little boy.

Yes, he's beautiful.

Look what you just did.

I didn't do it.

[Stacey] My darling.

-Oh. -[Nina] Well done.

[Billie] Well done.

[woman] On a destructive rampage

at the Maribyrnong Detention Center.

And in breaking news, a man has died after...

[glass clinking]

Good morning.

Hey.

Don't.

Are we pretending last night never happened?

Well, pretty much. Because if we jeopardize the study

then we're not gonna get our money.

-Last night was your idea. -Shh.

Right. Look, I think maybe it might be

a side effect of this drug.

It's just--it's not really part of my plan.

Um, people can do more than one thing at the same time.

I can't do all of them well.

I feel kind of dizzy.

My heart, uh, feels like it's

beating too fast or something.

It's all in your head.

Shit.

-You all right? -Yeah.

I'm gonna call the nurse.

Nurse.

I need you in here.

Uh, my heart feels like it's beating all wrong.

Giving the coffee a bit of a walloping?

Um, yeah, maybe.

Teeny-tiny bit anxious about the trial?

Anxious? No.

Had one guy got so anxious

he did push-ups all night.

Been overexerting yourself?

Um, well...

We had sex last night.

Unauthorized sex?

Well, if he hasn't had sex in ages,

could that be why his heart is funny?

Uh, look, I have sex frequently.

-So, that's... -[woman] We'll check you over.

Most likely you'll be back in normal rhythm soon.

If not, the doctor can always zap you with the paddles.

What?

This way.

[whispers] You have a cute little nose.

[indistinct]

He's got his dad's eyes and nose.

Is that good or bad?

As long as he hasn't got the personality of the mongrel,

that's all right.

Oh, he's just a little baby.

I'm sure there's hope yet.

Do you wanna have a nurse of him?

Beautiful.

Oh.

Oh, no. He's got your eyes.

Definitely.

You should take him.

Oh, yeah.

You think I'd get a good price for you

on the black market?

I'm serious, Billie. You got your shit together.

Not like me. Look at you.

Stace, you're his mom.

You want me to take him back to jail with me?

Do you want him to have that kind of life?

He really needs someone that could look after him.

I can barely look after myself.

You know that's not true.

Stace, look, it's-- you're exhausted.

You know, you just get some rest.

I don't want him to have this life.

I want you to take him.

[music playing]

[elevator bell dings]

-[Nina] Hi. -Hi.

You were so great in there last night.

Combat ready.

Yes...

You okay?

Oh, I've got this, um...

[cell phone ringing]

...thing I have to work out.

And, um...

-Hi. -[Chris] Hi.

-I got your messages. -Oh. Great.

I'm, uh, I'm staying in a serviced apartment.

I moved out.

Oh, right.

You should come over.

What time do you finish work? You should, uh,

you should come over and check it out.

[elevator bell dings]

[Nina] Okay. I'm coming.

[music playing]

Oh. Sorry, I woke you.

No worries. How'd it go?

She had a baby.

[Mick] Ah, yes. Excellent.

And this huge thing has happened.

And I've been busting to tell you.

-[Mick] Okay. Sure. -I don't know.

I mean, we're not-- we're not together.

So I don't know if I should.

Hey, listen, don't feel the need to confess some big thing to me.

I mean, if you're feeling guilty about--

What? Guilty? No.

[Mick] I mean, there are just some things

you should never, never, never, never confess.

I mean, it would just-- it would just--

[Billie] I just need to decide on this huge thing.

-Oh. -[Billie] And that--

I mean, there are pros and cons.

-[Mick] There are usually are. -No, no.

Because this is-- this is too much.

I can't lie this on you. It's too much.

It's too heavy. And I know we're not--

-you know, we're not-- -Okay. Just tell me.

I can take it.

No. No. I--

no. I need to.

Okay. Okay. Thank you.

-Welcome. -[Nina] Hi.

-Come in. -Thanks.

[clears throat] So, what do you think?

Wow.

Wow.

It's, um...

-[Chris] Hideous? -Yeah.

It's unbelievably...

Sad.

It is. I know.

It's...

It's a symphony in salmon.

It is serviced apartment purgatory

for separated husbands.

And it's actually the best thing

I could find in such short notice.

It's only temporary. I mean,

I just wanted things to be clear.

I'm separated. And...

I'm free to be with you.

And it's not far from the hospital,

so it means you can stalk me.

Oh. Good.

Because, I'm only another stalker.

Right.

I don't mind the setting. I mean,

-self-contained kitchenette. -[laughs]

Microwave, hmm?

Very good.

Still works.

There's a Breville here.

Healthy, fat-free cookie.

Great.

Well, you've got everything you need.

It's great. It's great.

Do you want a cup of tea?

-Yeah. -Yeah?

Sure.

Uh, let me--

where are your mugs?

[Chris] I'm gonna kiss you.

[chuckles]

[cell phone ringing]

[Nina] Oh, God.

Just let it ring.

[cell phone ringing]

You know, I'll just-- I'll get rid of it, because...

Okay.

[cell phone ringing]

[Nina] It's her. Look at his face.

Her.

Answer it.

Hey, what's up?

I'm at work. Why? What's happening?

No, I can't.

I don't know, a couple of hours.

Okay. Yeah. I will.

Okay. All right.

Bye.

It's Alice. She had a fight with her mom.

And you're at work.

I'm sorry. I will--I will tell her.

I just said that then because it's...

It's easier?

-Nina. -Why am I a secret?

I will tell her. I just...

haven't found the right moment.

What?

Well, I don't-- I don't wanna be this woman.

I don't.

I don't.

So, what's the story?

Uh, they said I had an episode of cardiac arrhythmia.

They've done heaps of tests on me.

I'm good now.

Was it a side effect of the drug?

Um, I don't know,

but I'm out of the trial.

Oh. That's a shame.

[Jimmy] Well, no big deal.

It turned out to be even more of an adventure than I expected.

Um, look anyway, I'm off home now.

So, uh,

do you wanna swap phone numbers or...

Um,

no.

Okay.

I guess hooking up with a loser

isn't part of the master plan.

[Chris] What happened?

Mom's gone out.

Lucy's asleep. Don't panic.

I didn't let her witness

me and mom clawing at each other.

-Jesus, Alice. -Oh, looks like

I'm in trouble with everyone.

[Chris] No. Don't give me that

wounded animal shit.

I'm so tired of it, Alice.

I've been pussy-footing around you

ever since you came back.

I'm so scared you're gonna go nuts

and just take off again.

I'm trying to keep everyone happy,

and I'm not--I can't do it.

Oh, what about you, Chris?

You can be happy. Please.

Please be happy.

Okay.

I met someone else, Alice.

I know I should've told you already.

It hasn't been very long. It's still new.

Oh.

Okay.

God. I have thrown a spanner

in the works, haven't I?

I didn't mean for it to happen.

Sorry--no, no. Don't.

Don't.

Don't you apologize.

You're, um--

you're getting on with your life.

I mean, what did I think was gonna happen?

Are you, um--

you're in love with her?

I think so.

What shall we do today?

Hey, what shall we do today?

Hey.

What shall we do today?

Shall we sell some houses?

Shall we?

Yes.

Oh.

Yes.

Dad.

Do you think I'd make a good mother?

Don't. Don't.

-[Darcy] I'll get that. -[Jimmy] It's okay, dad.

-I'm not an invalid. -Shouldn't you go

-to a doctor right now? -No. Later, later, later.

They test the buggery out of me already.

All right. Shit scared me for a little while.

Oh, right.

[Jimmy] Oh, dad. You told mom.

Oh, she happened to call just after you called.

-She's worried about her boy. -[Jimmy] So you say.

Telling her about the heart thing, you'll fix her right up.

[Darcy] Oh, no. I just...

Oh, Jesus, dad. What...

Come on. She loves you so much.

Look she's gonna go write off me now, isn't she?

No, she's not. She won't.

[Geraldine] Was this the kind of adventure

you were looking for? A heart attack?

Or maybe you wanted to give me a heart attack

-by worrying myself sick? -[Darcy] Oh, come on, Geraldine.

When are you gonna grow up?

When are you gonna get some sort of realistic sense--

[Darcy] All right. That's enough.

-Jimmy's... -He's what?

He's what? An idiot?

An idiot that thinks everything is a game and just...

[Darcy] Well, you're the one who drugged him last week.

[Geraldine] What?

[Darcy] Look. Um,

she gave you a mild sedative

so that you'd miss the appointment.

Are you serious?

It's all this drug trialing business.

It's terrified the hell out of your mother. It has.

So, you drugged me?

Jimmy.

Why did you have to bring that up?

Just for once, Darcy, just be on my side.

[Darcy] Uh...

-[woman] Hi. -[Billie] Hey.

-Hey. -Hey.

What--you're heading off already?

Yeah. They probably think I'm having too much of a good time.

Is that for my little boy?

Well, it's not for you.

Here you go.

She wants to check it in case

you stuffed it full of drugs.

Oh.

Here he is.

My little man.

Can you just...

[Stacey] Thanks. Time for us to go.

Will you take him with you?

Well, yeah, that's usually how it works.

You push them out and then you're stuck with them.

Well, except that he's stuck with me more like.

[chuckles]

[Mick] Oh.

-Look at you, princess. -[sobs]

What happened?

Come here to Mick.

[cell phone ringing]

Hi.

Nina, I just told Alice about us.

Um, I really need to see you.

I really need to hear you say you'll give us a chance.

Where are you?

-At work. -[Chris] I'm not far away.

I'll meet you in the car park in three minutes?

Oop.

Whoa! Go, Nins!

[Nina] It's not perfect. I know that.

Nothing's perfect. And, um,

I'm crazy about this man.

[cell phone ringing]

[cell phone beeps]

[Alice] Hi, Nina.

I got your number out of Chris' phone.

He just told me about you two.

This is Alice Havel.

Given the situation we're all in, and--

I don't know,

thinking about Lucy,

I was thinking we should talk.

Sorry. I--I've got to go.

I've got an emergency C-sec.

What?

Nina!

[car honking]

[Chris] Hang on a second, buddy.

Nina!
