Do you know what's happening between Liam and Tess? Get the fuck out!

Oh, shit!

I don't owe you a fucking cent! Max, please.

Max! Now get your baby, hon.

I will not let anything come between me and my brother. Just fix it with Nicole.

I've been really lonely without you.

Me too.

Hi, Max. It looked like the Avgas tank was leaking.

World's best.

Thank you.

Thank God you're here.

What happened?

Some sort of explosion.

I need to get over there.

I tried calling Pat to come for the kids, but no answer. You go, you go.

stay with the kids. Come on, come on. I need to see my boy.

It's over.

No,

we're okay.

Rob, thank God everyone's okay.

You don't understand.

Of course I do, baby. Come on, you're in shock.

Can you get off me, please?

All right, well, can you just tell me what I can do to help?

Mum.

Hey.

Are you all right?

How did it start?

Oh, they're not sure.

Get up, hon.

It is not an arm or a leg. They're sending someone up for a fire

You know, I never wanted a fire on the beach.

I was doing something for Summer. I was trying to help her.

Bro, there's no need for that. Don't tell me what there's a need for, Liam.

Rob. No, miss, let him go. I know how to handle my own husband.

Where's Summer?

There you are.

Hey, hey.

Summer?

Summer. Summer.

You're fine.

Everyone's fine.

It's not an earthquake.

Remember what the counsellor told you. It's your brain playing tricks on your

body. Just breathe.

All you have to do.

In.

And out.

Get some oxygen back in your lungs.

Okay. In.

And out.

One more time. In.

And out.

Joe, what happened to me?

Living with the devil on a dead end street.

Bad world dropping through the hole in my heart.

Picking hope from the bones of a guilty heart.

Sophie told you this just now, but she knew about the Avgas yesterday.

I only just checked the messages.

Thank you. Thank you, Max. Thank you.

You didn't tell me she was here.

You don't want to know why.

Oh, God, was it that bullshit at book club?

No, she admits she hasn't been herself. No, she knows exactly what she is doing.

Which is why I fired her.

Wait, and then she noticed the leak?

And you think that's a coincidence?

You knew about the fucking ABGAC. Okay, just be quiet. You're going to wake up

the kids.

Someone could have been killed.

Do you think about that? It was an accident, okay? I thought they'd lose a

grand. You're not too confident.

He looked at me like he hated me. Sorry.

You know, I try and be understanding even when I think that you're getting it

wrong. Okay, take her side. No, there's no fucking sides!

Do you know how serious this is?

There'll be an investigation.

The police will be involved.

You're going to be in so much shit.

It wasn't my fault, okay? Rob scared me. And then a test came over. We made up.

And you and I, I thought we were getting back to normal. Come on, Liam.

I would never hurt them. You must know that.

Then you need to front up.

What do you mean?

You need to tell Rob and Ted what you just told me. They will never believe

That's the truth, isn't it? I made a mistake.

I'm not going to go crawling to her on my hands and knees.

No, I can't. I can't.

I can't live like this.

Nick?

If you're not going to do the right thing this time, then... Then what?

Hey, Liam, then what?

So you're leaving?

Yeah, I thought it was an earthquake, but it started before that.

What does that mean? I don't care about shoes or motels or

fancy schools.

There's got to be more to life than that. No, no, no. Look, I'll be back in

morning.

To take the kids to school. You're not going. How can I stay when I can only

stand to look at you?

I'm still in bed. Out for the count.

Good. Best place for her.

Before all this, Nicole said you were okay about the baby.

Okay?

Wow. She might want to watch that daytime drinking.

So you're not okay? How could I be okay?

I've been holding.

That baby, in my dreams, for just as long as she has.

But whatever game she's playing, it's hurting Rob.

And I just can't be part of that.

You know, especially now.

You know, I had five miscarriages before I brought those two boys home. Is this

where you tell me to give up on Charlotte?

This is where I tell you that I know what it feels like to want something

hard.

But when Liam and Rob arrived, all that pain went away.

Well, Rob couldn't really talk about it. He was only three.

Didn't know the half of it.

And he's a bottler. You need to keep an eye on him. Ah, right.

Sorry.

I don't mean to interfere.

Have you had a personality transplant?

I just want my boys.

They work better as a team, those two, always have. You're preaching to the

wrong daughter -in -law.

And God knows Nicole needs you right now.

And it's not just the baby.

I think she's off the medication.

What medication?

So you noticed it was leaking, but you didn't think to mention it at the time?

Well, you know, I've got a lot of other things to worry about, maybe.

Yeah, sure.

Look, investigators have tracked the source of the fire to the trailer.

Right, well, it kind of lit itself.

I mean, I guess it's my thing to smoke, you know?

It was not caused by a cigarette.

So you know what it was started by?

I'm sorry, I can't tell you anymore.

Well, because that's what you should be looking into, you know, who started the

fire, not who reported the leak.

Look, these accusations that you're making about your sister and...

That's all a misunderstanding.

It's all cleared up.

You can't charge me with anything, can you?

Failure to report a substance spilling or leaking?

We want to go back!

Lucky for you, this is more of a work -safe issue.

You're getting off lightly.

Hey,

hard to come by since the old butcher left, eh?

Who you know know what you know.

It's all right if I come in.

You know your mother doesn't like you coming here, eh? I can't talk to her.

Well, how hard have you tried?

She just wants everything to be okay, you know? For us to be okay, but Rob's

taking my calls, my wife lost the plot, I'm in the shit financially.

Everyone thinks Nicole's to blame for the fire.

Well, is she?

Well, she didn't help.

So, how's the new one?

New what?

Pepe.

She's Rob's. She's not mine.

Hey.

Pepe.

You're calling me a pebble.

You come to me looking for answers?

Hey, I don't know anything you don't.

Yeah.

Except back in the day.

When I needed my husband, he picked off up north, left me with four kids. So I'm

here, aren't I?

When I'm not filling holes on the motorway or taking tourists out to swim

stupid bloody dolphins. You watch your mouth. Don't you talk about our he like

that. You show more respect.

Sorry. Yeah, you should be.

And don't you go up to the marae peeling potatoes and hiding out at the motel

when you've got better places to be. I'm not hiding anywhere. Oh, yeah?

Well, why was your truck parked up there in the middle of the night then, eh?

I never said it was going to be easy being Maro.

Thank you for the bone.

Honestly, do these people only have one recipe?

Well, they're only here to be nosy.

Well, they can fuck off.

Now, what can I get you?

Fran's soup?

No.

Oh, shit.

Shit, I still have to sort out the flowers for the VIP market.

You're still going to do that? Life goes on, babe.

I know your dad's carrying on like a pork chop, but he'll soon buy two more

shiny new choppers and we'll be right with the world.

Oh, hi, babe. What's up?

I told you I've got to go to Christchurch and talk to these insurance

Oh, I'll come with you. Just give me an hour to sort out some stuff for race

day.

Race day?

Yeah. We're still the major sponsor.

Oh, for Christ's sake.

You know...

You might be able to act like nothing happened, but my entire livelihood just

went up in smoke. I'm sorry. Can you pull yourself together, please? You

have one chopper and you have insurance, so if you want to throw yourself this

poor fucking me party, go right ahead, but I'm not joining you.

And then the policeman came and Mummy got in trouble. He did not get in

Emma. Yes, he did.

i did not who told you that georgia georgia who not telling but now he

want to be my friend

I'll just help go and entertain, mommy.

Help! Help me!

As I walk up the passage, I see him moving down.

The whole afternoon in your hands, but I can't come back

around. It's not right what Nicole did, Tessa. Not with the baby, all the things

that she said, and his leaky fuel tank. Oh yeah, it turns out you have to put an

ad in the Christchurch press admitting arson before anyone takes it seriously.

Almighty said that arson's pretty cut and dried.

And this wasn't it, so you can't make a joke.

The law is the law.

Well, that's why surrogacy's her trick in the first place. Right, Tessa? I

the biological mother has all the legal right.

Yeah, I was talking to Geri about that. I don't know what.

Danielle just said it. The law is the law.

No, Geri reckons the whole reproductive rights thing is a can of worms. In what

way?

Something about a parenting order.

What's that?

Oh, yeah.

That's the old custody.

Seriously, Tessa?

Talk to Jerry.

Do you know when Tiff will be back? Jesus, Summer, don't sneak up on people.

I don't sneak up on you.

Dick. Hey.

Sorry, babe. I know you're going through a hard time right now, but... Do you

want to club?

So, do you know when Tiff will be back?

Where is she?

Some race day thing.

Do you want to watch a movie with me?

You can choose.

As soon as I'm done here.

That's what you always say. Please, bub, let me sort this first.

Fine.

They're all down, including the baby.

Is that really going to help?

Yes, actually.

I didn't ask you to come, Fran.

You don't answer your phone? I can't find Liam.

Pretty standard procedure.

About the baby.

There's no shame in changing your mind.

I did change my mind. I mean again.

Four kids, two mortgages.

It's too much.

Is this coming from Tessa? It's coming from anyone with two eyes who can see

you're not coming.

Did she send you here to get clear? She did nothing of the sort. You are not

thinking straight. The baby is a whinger. She'd drive anyone spare.

Have you even had a shower? I can do so.

When's Liam home?

I told him you said hello.

You called a family meeting?

Well, this stupid little cow turned up to Mum's drunk as a skunk with a pocket

full of stolen pills.

I didn't steal them.

I bought them.

Who from?

Oh, does that really matter now? And she's not a stupid little cow.

Did you give her the money?

Oh, brilliant.

No, I got it from Dad.

You're super fast, then. No, stick a sock in its face.

Look, I know that the fire rattled her.

It rattled everyone.

This kitchen needs our attention.

Can we just all agree on that?

Good. Rob?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yes, I'm listening.

Do you have any suggestions?

You know what?

I need an extra pair of hands for race day.

So, do you want to be my assistant?

And she can come to me or Fran whenever she's not with Tess. You two are no fun.

You need to mutton up your act, young lady.

Okay, so Rob and I have a meeting this afternoon and then I can pick Summer up

from either of you afterwards.

Good? Yeah. What meeting?

The lawyer.

I'll see you there.

Thought you weren't coming.

Yeah, I think so, didn't you?

Yeah, well, you didn't answer.

Yeah, well, I'm here now.

What's this all about, anyway?

Um, I don't know. Jerry just asked us both to come.

There.

What's he doing here?

I thought this was about the motel.

Is Rob coming?

He must be held up, so let's just get on with it.

Guys, if you could take a seat, please.

What's going on?

As you know, Tessa and Rob were expecting to be the adoptive parents of

Cleo there. Charlotte.

After an unofficial agreement between yourself and Liam and the two of them.

And? And Rob is the biological father.

Where is Rob?

Well, he's busy trying to sort out the business your wife taught.

He did not taught your baby. Well, Rob and I are seeking a parenting order for

Charlotte. What is that?

Tessa, I need you to let me handle it. We'll handle it.

Nicole, you need to listen and take this very seriously.

Rob and Tessa have concerns about your ability to look after the baby.

Are you serious?

I have evidence that dates back to before the child was born that questions

whether you've been acting in her best interest.

What evidence?

It's your wine. That was her wine. No.

And then there's this.

No, no, I was getting nappies from Pat.

I also have a statement from Andy and a witness that will back it up that you

slapped Emma in the face at the coffee cart.

What? No, no, no.

No, that wasn't a slap.

That wasn't a slap. You know that I'm a good mother. You told me that you'd

forgotten to feed Charlotte after drinking gin.

Please don't do this. Well, then are you going to give me my baby?

Adoption doesn't have to be newborns. We could find a way to settle this

amicably. I mean, shared parenting, perhaps, could be an option. Absolutely

Listen, just... I've been instructed by my client to apply for a

parenting order through the family court, which means a judge will decide

in the best interest of Cleo. How did we end up here?

You blaming me?

Why, it is your fault.

You're gonna rot in hell. No, if anyone's rotting in hell, we both know

going to be you.

Are you going to go to Auckland?

Yeah, you can come too. Go on a shopping trip.

Where is that?

with the inactions of that bloody fire.

Okay, so take this and start filling up glasses.

How did those little bitches get in? Just leave them. No, like hell. No,

just don't.

Come with me.

I'm champagne's ready and waiting. Thank you.

You're welcome. You good? Can you please help Tom hand out ice cream to the

listeners? Don't worry.

Go to it, girl.

Sorry. Just keep an eye on her. She's a nervous wreck.

Okay. Thank you.

Oi.

Emma called.

You're freaking her out.

You just agreed.

I did not.

I just blindsided that girl.

I know you're a good mother.

I know that.

But why wouldn't they go after what's rightfully theirs?

This is just making it worse.

Fine.

Hey, cut it out.

Emma, can you give me a bottle, please?

Why doesn't Mum get it? Can you just do it?

Around and around the helicopter flew.

I wonder if it's Uncle Rob.

Moo, moo to moo.

Wow, you guys look so comfy.

Bye, y 'all.

Here you go.

On you.

So you can fake it on social media.

I want a nice photo of you all together.

Well, baby, no. Okay, really? You're going to support them, not me?

You put me in that position.

How about a peanut butter fold over?

I hate the smooth dough.

Yeah, well, what was on special?

Why don't you come with me to the race, David?

No, Daddy.

Children said that races are bad for the whole school.

You know what? How about you go?

Go. Fill your boots.

Em, how about strawberry jam instead?

Yes, please.

Dead here. Oh, you come find me later. Yeah.

Baby, how are you?

I thought you weren't coming.

I'm going to not come.

She's a fucking sponsor.

Are you okay?

Top of the bloody world. Hey, I'm just here.

She's in with the VIPs?

Of course she is.

No, it's in there.

No VIP fucking thing.

Um, can you please freshen those up? Thank you.

Oh, good. Um, can you please go out the back and get me some more ice? I'm dead.

Well, what, finally turned up?

Yeah, but... Ice summer, please.

No, I think you should come.

What the hell, Rob?

I'm a big fan, babe.

Hey, just go back and make sure it runs okay, and I'll be down in a minute, all

right?

But, hey.

Hey. Are you drunk?

Yeah, I'm shit -faced. I am fucking shit -faced, yep, and I am going to get even

more shit -faced. But... Just be watchful. No, please, babe, you need to

up. You can't go out there like that. Get off me, please. What's happened?

What's happened to me? Oh, I don't know.

Fucking fire, maybe?

Insurance is going to cover that.

My insurance has expired.

What? It's a complete fucking joke.

And you know what? I also can't afford to pay the loan back on two helicopters

that I don't even fucking have anymore. So how about that?

Sorry, what are you saying?

There's no money.

No? No?

Mm -hmm.

No, insurance with Nicole's job.

Oh, okay. Well, this actually has nothing to do with her. No. I can't

pay for Jerry's bills, let alone... No, we need that lawyer.

Oh, okay.

Well, maybe you can go and... I don't know. Maybe it's time to get back into

family fold again, darling.

Huh? Get Dad a call. That's not going to happen. We need that for that. Well, we

can forget about the whole bullshit mummy tax thing.

Yeah. Yeah.

Right, and that would suit you down to the ground, wouldn't it? I need a drink.

No, you never, you never wanted her.

What kind of woman just gives up her own baby?

You know what?

You'd probably be a shit mother anyway.

This year's winner of Fashion on the Field.

But first, I would like to thank our sponsors, White Cap Wine, Beachside

and, of course, Walter Helicopters.

At your service.

I'm so

sorry.

Right.

Let's announce this winner.

Get over here. Get off me. Get over here. Come on. Get off.

The lemonade's clean, Rob.

Oh, is this something up your arse, you boring, woolly Christian?

Jesus, look at you.

Get up.

You've built that business up for nothing. You can do it again. Come on.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stand up.

All of Gaikota.

Yeah, well, that motel wasn't my idea.

Remember? The work is you never had any of your own ideas, eh?

What? Forgot how much of an asshole you are when you're drunk? Yeah, I forgot

how much of a limp dick you've always been. Okay, all right, that's enough.

What?

What, you're going to show me how much of a man you are?

Mr.

Pillow of the community, eh? Fucking trying to find a specific lost little

You watch your mouth.

You wouldn't have the balls to fuck teeth in if she let you.

Which you wouldn't.

Yeah, go on then, go on. Spit out another kid you can't even feed.

Have you seen Kirsten?

You might want to give her and your dad some space love.

Hey, you okay?

Are you?

Get that.

Okay, look, get yourself to our place.

I'll look after you.

It's, I...

I

said, um... I said, just go find Rob.

Excuse now, you evil bastard.

Mom?

The insurance company's out, evil bastard.

Oh, my God.

What,

Mommy? We're going to have to call Dad.

We might even get him to smile for once.

Uh, where is my phone?

Babe, come home.

Amazing news.

Hey.

Don't say it.

Don't say what?

That you hate me.

I could never hate you.

He's hugged up.

It's all right.

Yeah, it's okay.

The best thing that's ever happened to me

and I just can't be happy.

No, you.

You do make me happy.

I'm really sorry about what I said. Oh, it doesn't matter. It's okay.

Hey, we'll be okay.

We'll be okay.

I love you, Tiff.

I love you.

Daddy! Hey!

What is it? What is it?

What's going on?

Read it.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Walter, please don't formulate compensation for the ceiling

child has. $1 .2 million in our account next week. Everything

is going to change for us, baby.

Everything.

Oh, my God.

Hey, I love you.

Don't you know who I am?

Thank you.

Keep it simple with your pop -pop songs. God forbid you change the record.

I draw lines in symphony. Animal savagery.

Refugee just like me. Don't believe the hype.

Out of the wasteland we come.

Little girls, little boys, and the nameless ones.
