Original subtitles

Previously, once upon a time, the eldest son got everything.

The hotel is not for sale. When did it happen that I can't toss my own

I've been a very naughty bully tonight.

I think we should tell everyone. You're going to lose your vision completely.

I think she's struggling to work out what's taken when. Leave it with me. Got

medical power of attorney.

I'll tell them once.

No, I'm forced to. Nothing is trying to be out of their order. Why can't I see

Peter with a five -year -old?

It's a lot like you and Reiner. Maybe I should tell them what you did.

A little better.

Just a few ideas.

Simple ways we can freeze the hotel up without spending a fortune.

Simon, help me.

That's very professional.

You're right. It's a division.

I don't, not that.

I was a wee bit nauseous again.

Tell you what, I'll come back.

Last thing you need is me rabbiting in your ear, first thing.

Thank you. I was just excited to show you.

How'd it go?

How did what go?

Did she know you gave her a little something -something?

Eh?

I'm not the one who munches her pills.

It's Kate's job.

Oh, why are you watching?

Nothing, nothing. You dirty boy.

Can I do anything to help?

Yeah, actually, I could use a hand with us. No, we can't ask you to work. Can't

you on a holiday visa?

Thanks. I've got it under control.

You know, I think your mum's really happy about this conference.

She doesn't feel as much to me.

Yeah, she appreciates the business that Lee's bringing in.

So, are you going to contact your biological father?

Sorry? Well, you know, Bendigro's only a two -hour drive.

Mum's always had a nice thing to say about Bill. Yeah, yeah, I'll get round

it. Where is Helen?

Oh, Courtney, have you seen Mum?

I don't think she's come in.

What?

Okay, we have Helen, 68 years old, medical conditions.

She has advanced macular degeneration.

And she's had hypertension for years.

Yeah, I've written out a list of her medications, if that helps.

Very thorough, thank you.

Is she going to be okay?

We'll know more once we've run some tests.

It's going to be a few hours.

Perhaps only one if he wants to wait.

How did this happen?

I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of it.

Listen, why don't you both go back to the hotel?

Oh, I'm not leaving.

What? Hang on, is the conference even ready?

So if you get the chicken... Yeah, and it's going to distress Helen even more

knowing Simon's in charge, isn't it?

If it's going to be hours, we could go get through the morning rush and then

come straight back.

It's up to you, but I can call the minute there's any news.

I'm sorry the conference wasn't ready.

It's okay.

Can someone grab mints for the tables, please?

Yeah. Can you let your boss know that this isn't our usual standard?

Can you relax?

We all just hope Helen's okay.

I've got to go.

Todd, why haven't you been picking up your phone?

Sorry, I just got messages.

Yeah, I'm just really worried that it's something more serious.

Yeah, do you think the hospital could give you something in writing?

Well, it's exactly what we need for the court order. Proof that Ellen can't look

after herself or this place.

Like, otherwise we'll lose the buyer.

Todd, we need to get Mum well.

Well, I'm not just doing this for me, remember? Like, the boys have their baby

plans. Simon, you need to move out and get your own place. Like, I'm doing this

for all of us.

Hello, you.

Oh.

What happened?

You can't remember?

Hi, Helen.

I'm Dr. Peters. We met earlier.

Got most of your results back. Just waiting on a scan.

Oh, I fell.

Can you tell me what medication you took this morning?

The usual.

One of your medications is spironolactone.

Do you remember taking that?

Well, I would have.

Is there any chance you took more than you usually do?

No.

Ellen, you have four times the amount of spironolactone in your system than you

should have.

Well, that's a lot of medication to mix up.

Well, it could have happened over a couple of days.

Hey, I've been saying that you've been feeling lightheaded recently.

How do you manage your medication?

Oh, my sister Kate, she puts everything into one of those weekly dispensers.

It's actually really helpful.

We'll keep you here for a few more hours, and I'll speak to Kate when she

back. I don't remember taking more tablets than usual.

What?

Oh, no, it's nothing.

You don't think... And it would be Todd driving it, of course.

Driving what?

You don't think that Kate could have... I've given you too much of this drug,

dear.

On purpose?

No, I shouldn't say any more.

Is there something else I don't know?

No, please, please tell me.

Well, I called Simon, you know, just to tell him that you're okay. And, um, he

told me that Todd was at the hotel.

Talking about getting a court order to force medical power of attorney.

I mean, you're always saying, aren't you, you know, what a terrible influence

he's on Kate.

Hiya. I'm just here to see Mum.

Helen O 'Reilly.

Here you are.

How is she?

Dr Peter will explain everything to you.

OK. You can't go in.

What?

Well, Helen's not ready to see you yet.

Why not?

Did she get any more tests?

To be honest, she's a bit confused about what happened today.

What are you talking about?

Well, apparently she's got a high amount of a certain medication in her system.

Spiron, something or other.

How? Is that why she collapsed? No, I arranged her medications.

Oh,

she thinks I made a mistake.

A mistake.

Probably what I gave you.

What are you implying?

I'm saying my mom.

Don't touch me. Don't touch me. Don't touch me. I'm just going to... Get off

Get the fuck off me! Come on, man. Let's get it through here.

What are you doing?

Mom! Mom!

No, the way the doctor spoke to me, he basically accused me of elder abuse.

Is there any chance you did stuff for medication? No, Simon, no chance.

Mum's confused.

She just had a concussion.

It's her. It's Amanda. She's got something to do with this.

What are you talking about? She's been with her all morning.

Like, who knows what's been said?

I'm sure it'll get resolved.

Yeah, that's very easy for you to say. You're not the one being blamed.

Mum?

Mum?

Whatever you're thinking, I didn't mess up your medication.

Kate wouldn't do that. I'm going home.

Mum.

Mum, please.

I think she just needs a lie down.

Don't tell me what my mother needs.

Hi, Courtney, can you... Oh, on a break.

Um... OK, yeah, come in. I'll check you in.

Thank God you're OK.

We're all so worried.

She's got to wait for the drugs to get out of her system.

Mum, whatever happened, you know Kate wasn't responsible.

Was Todd talking about a court order today?

Well, why?

Whatever was said, I wasn't a part of it.

What was said?

Here.

Got to keep your fluids up. Can I just have some time with Mum?

You've been amazing today, but I can take it from here.

I go on.

You must be exhausted yourself.

Yeah, if I look at you, they're freshened up.

I'll be back soon.

Thank you.

Right, if they ask how Helen knows about the court order, say you let it slip.

Probably didn't see England today. Just say it was you.

The medical power of attorney is out there now, and that's good for us.

So, what are you thinking?

Well, Helen's not going to give Kate control now, is she, after today?

We just need to make sure that she feels the same way about Ian.

That's not going to be easy when he's in there sucking up to her.

Yeah,

but she's not happy about Lee's influence over him.

That's the key, is that.

Speaking of junkies.

Palace junkies?

I'm doing it.

Number 12 will get you to Albert Park. Enjoy.

Simon? Simon, can you take over? I need to see Mum. I need to see Mum.

Hey, hey.

How's your mum?

I don't know, because I can't get five minutes with her.

I know it's bad timing, but the guys want to book a room, order room service?

Yep, sure.

Do you think, I mean, with everything that's going on with Helen?

No, it's fine.

Run up a huge tab, she'll love you for it.

Great. Okay. Until the guys get to go. Okay.

Courtney?

I'll go back to my old routine. That way I know exactly what I'm taking.

Mum, you know no one would have done this on purpose.

How are you feeling, Helen?

A wee bit better.

Mum, I promise I had nothing to do with...

Mum, I would

never let anything like this happen to you. You can tell your husband to forget

about his court order.

I won't be forced out of this hotel.

Mum, none of that matters.

The only thing that matters is getting you better. You're not even denying it.

He's plotting for power of attorney?

Oh, dear God.

I need to lie down.

No, Mum, you don't understand.

Mum.

I have no idea how she knows.

I didn't say anything.

Mina was here before. Maybe she overheard Todd.

Oh, great. So even the staff get the same mum before I do.

And you?

What have you been saying?

Nothing.

You must know how she arrived at that ridiculous conclusion.

It's just a misunderstanding, I'm sure.

Let's just focus on mum.

Okay?

And maybe get Todd to... Back off a little bit.

Kate.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I know she's in Mum's ear.

Just stirring the pot. I can feel it.

And Todd?

About the court order?

I understand where you're coming from. I just... I feel like if we push the

conversation right now, it's going to make things worse.

Todd?

Am I the worst partner in the world having fun while everyone's unwell?

No, it's fine. I'm sure you'll appreciate the extra takings. That's

said.

I'm sorry it's been a bit of a day.

Yeah, it's an understatement. Oh, there you are.

And, uh, for the record, I've only had three beers.

I know, just wait for me.

And, listen, I feel really bad for Kate.

Yeah, so do I.

Hey, listen, I'm going to stay with Mum tonight. I don't think you should be

left alone.

Of course.

Oh, hey, I can stay with her.

I mean, I'm in the hotel anyway.

No. I can easily sleep on the couch or in the spare room.

Besides, I think you might need to take Mr Forby's. I'm quite similar.

Thank you.

Give me an hour while I wind this up.

Yeah, OK.

Thank you.

Night. Night. Night.

Thank you for today.

There's nothing.

You're doing so much.

I feel like I'm keeping you from your own life. I want to be here.

What about your friends and family?

Your job?

Not rainy old England.

No competition.

You sleep.

I'll be right outside if you need anything, okay?

Night.

Yeah.

Are you okay to be working?

There's work to be done. I did suggest that she rest.

Yeah, leave the room now. Don't touch a thing.

Kate, there's something I think you should handle.

Oh, my God.

Um, where did Mina find this?

Um... In the bathroom.

I also didn't want to stay in front of your mum on account of Lee.

Lee wouldn't bring drugs into the hotel.

Okay, so what do we do? Get rid of them. Get rid of them. What if your mum finds

out? Let's make sure she doesn't. The last thing I need is her jumping to

conclusions.

She already has.

Everyone's talking.

She wants to see us all in the office and she's called Lee too.

I've never seen that before.

You had a party in the room last night?

Yeah. I had a few drinks and some food.

Maybe one of your co -workers brought them in.

No. No, never.

I mean, how well do you know them?

They wouldn't.

And if that's GHB, that's really dangerous to shoot up anyway.

So you do know what it is?

And you've had a problem before?

What?

Okay, this is crazy.

No wonder you wanted a private room. Can you tell her that this is crazy? Mom,

there must be another explanation.

Can you tell her how wrong this is, how fucked up this is?

Tell her.

Lee.

Um, the police are at reception.

Okay, I'll go. Okay.

Did you call him?

No.

Ryder. I told you we haven't seen him.

Has something else happened?

I've seen posters around.

Probably just off to his neck in trouble and lying low.

Well, that's what we thought originally, but Ryder Frew isn't the only one

missing.

There you are.

Hey, I'm sorry about before.

I had to convince my boss to have this conference.

I did it for Helen and this stupid hotel.

This is the thanks I get.

She'll calm down.

I was waiting for you to stand up to me.

I did. I was waiting for you to stand up to her. No, you didn't. You never do.

Not really.

You know that she's unwell. She's not herself.

She's exactly herself.

Babe, okay? She's mean. She's judgmental.

Let's go and find her, okay? No, I need to get away for a while.

Please don't go.

I'll talk to Mom. I've thought it.

Too little, too late, babe.

I wish we'd never even floated the idea of asking for money for the baby.

I love you.

I love you, too.

But your family is toxic.

And I'm done with them.

Done.

I just can't believe that Lee would bring drugs into the

hotel. I just can't. What kind of drugs?

He thought it was GHB, which just makes him look worse in Mom's eyes.

And what did the police say?

Oh, no, they were there for a completely different reason.

And I thought Mum was going to report Lee, but she didn't, thank God.

No, the police were there about a girl, Eden, who is apparently Ryder's

girlfriend, and now they're both missing.

Mum collapses, they find drugs in the hotel, and two people go missing. Like,

what is going on?

I've got a 12 .30, so... No, I should get back anyway. OK, bye. Bye.

I've been waiting for you to call.

Sorry, it's been a busy few days.

Well, we want to announce the development soon.

And we can't do that without the hotel.

Sure, sure. I'm just going to need a little more time.

No, I haven't had any AMD symptoms for several days now.

So does that mean that the laser therapy might be working?

Right, well, what about another injection?

What are you doing?

Um... Nothing.

Um... Helen can't be on her own, so we decided to move in.

You probably could have talked to me about that.

Oh, I'd talk to Helen.

Why are you still here?

In Australia.

Why haven't you connected with Bill?

He's your father.

You've shown zero interest.

Well, Helen wants me here.

So, as long as she does...

I'm not going anywhere.

Well, that took longer than I thought.

What's going on?

I was just telling Amanda that this used to be my bedroom.

Yeah, and the drawer's very unreliable.

Yeah.

It's wonderful that you're here to help Mum.

You seem to be doing a lot better.

I'll leave you to it.

She's up to something.

She's manipulating Mum and she's squeezing us out.

Poor Kit Kat's having a cry because there's a bit of competition.

Fuck off, Diamond.

Fuck you. Fuck you. Guys.

If she goes after a share of this place, you're going to lose out too.

Wanker. You're a wanker. Are you talking or Todd? Have a good day. Bye.

He's the one who wanted the legal agreement and now he doesn't even care.

Yeah. Things are going great with me, by the way. Thanks for asking.

Lee's not answering my calls after my whole family accused him of shooting up

the hotel. But sure, it's about the fucking agreement.

Been like that for hours.

Todd?

Todd?

Hey.

Are you okay?

Hey, you all right?

It's back.

I know it never really goes away, but when I go through a good period, well,

you can call the last few days good.

Yeah.

It's a lot for you.

Listen.

If Lee is using again, and I hate to say it, but it's an expensive habit.

And I'm worried that he's going to take advantage of Ian financially.

And Ian might let him, if he's got the funds in the future.

I'm worried, me too.

And then Kate and Todd, they've got their agenda.

You know, it might be time to take charge of medical power of attorney.

To protect yourself as well as the hotel.

Why did my children all make such bad choices?

Well, I truly believe that Simon has learned from his mistakes.

You know, he might be the lesser of three evils.

I'll think about it soon.

And I'm here, too.

It's all gonna be okay, Mum.

Why do you let him treat you like this?

Well,

we love each other.

Is this love?

I'm sorry if you get caught in the middle of things.

I can take care of myself.

It's you that I'm worried about.

You want to know what I think?

I think that when he brought this house...

When he started the agency, he was counting on Granny selling the hotel.

He saw dollar signs the whole time.

Now everything's taking longer than he expected and he's in over his head.

Yeah, there's a lot going on.

And I think things feel out of control and we need to control them.

Are we still talking about Todd?

How do you feel about a road trip?

Granny never talks about him.

All I know is that he moved to Bendigo just after they emigrated.

What are you going to say?

I don't know.

But I know that Amanda isn't helping things.

And if anyone can get her out of our lives, it's Belle.

She's in Melbourne?

She's been in Australia for over a month.

And you talked about me?

Yeah, she's curious about you.

I think she's just nervous to make that first contact.

Aren't you curious too?

Look, if you are open to meeting Amanda, I can help.

I know it's a lot, me showing up on your doorstep.

And it must bring up a lot of things for you.

But I think it could be the start of a great new chapter for you and your

family.

I need to talk it over with my son.

Of course.

How'd it go?

Hard. I mean, I don't want to make our problem his problem, but

he's her father.

I don't know. I've planted the seed.

Why didn't you say you were in touch with Amanda?

She hasn't told Helen about our emails.

She doesn't want to need me. Maybe I've upset her.

Well, you didn't write anything bad, Dad.

Well, why would she fly all this way to see Helen and not me?

Maybe you should write to her again.

I'm so sorry.

Todd.

These are huge. Yeah, I didn't know what to get, so I just, I got everything.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Look, I've been under a lot of pressure with the agency, and I should have

handled it better.

You know that you can talk to me about this.

I'll apologize to Corinne, too.

Maybe we could all go for dinner tonight?

Yeah.

Bendigo?

Really?

Yeah. Don't you think it's strange that she hasn't contacted Bill?

So you went behind her back? And Mum's? Well, I asked Bill to keep it between

us. Is Simon there?

No. No, I don't trust him with anything anymore.

He's so unreliable.

Do you really think Amanda's up to something?

Ian, something isn't adding up.

Just yesterday, I saw her unpacking, and she was weird.

Weird how?

I don't know.

She was on the floor. She was near the drawers.

I'm sure she was hiding her passport.

Why don't you take her for dinner?

Why don't you have her over?

And find out what her plans are.

Are you asking me to spy?

Yes. Prove me wrong.

If it makes you feel better about it.

Fine.

But Amanda's not going to leave Mom alone anyway.

Leave her.

Concentrate.

It might be a mum.

Oh, there's a midkiller.

Who is it?

It's your favourite brother.

And apparently I can't say no because Helen's got a baby there.

Oh, come in.

Hi, Granny.

Been so long since I've seen you, I barely recognise you.

Go on through.

Is that a new jumper?

Uh, no.

I guess it has been. It has,

it has.

It's a high school.

School, school.

Hey, Corinne.

Hey. Thanks for coming over. I doubt it'll be a late night. Well, you try and

enjoy yourself, although I imagined Ian just wants to get in your ear.

Probably. Enjoy your evening, too.

We will, we will.

Well, uh, come sit down, love.

Come in.

Thanks, wow.

Um, I feel like we need a drink or two, eh?

Nice. Yeah.

This is beautiful.

You're beautiful.

It took me six years before I realised that I just couldn't be with him

Because of the slippers?

No, it wasn't about... Well, it was about the slippers, but they were the

ugliest slippers she's ever seen.

Honestly, Ellie wouldn't get rid of him. Oh, say no more. That would have been

the final straw for me, too.

Oh, well, I guess I'm just unlucky in love.

I'm like you.

Yeah, I don't know about that.

Oh, come on. You and Leo will be all right.

And I've been putting in a good word with Helen.

You've really bonded with her, haven't you?

Yeah.

And I know she's up on you three, and then I turn up, and it's all hearts and

flowers and all that. Oh, I have a theory about that. Yeah. Do you want to

it? Mm -hmm. Okay.

Bill, what's her first love?

A true love.

Yeah, but I'm sure she loved your dad as well.

Yeah, it's more of a plug.

They spent...

So much time and energy focused on the hotel. I didn't even think about how

misaligned they were.

We remind Mum of Reg.

But you, you remind her of this amazing life with Bill that she

never had.

Is it wrong if we open that other box?

No. Go on then.

Here we are back again.

I don't want to follow me.

I don't want to do it back again.

If I come to Italy, we could be nice to each other. Nice to each

other. You can close the agency if you want.

Where's my drain?

I know.

But it doesn't mean that you've failed. It just means that it isn't the right

timing. We don't even need this house.

All we need is each other.

What would I do without you?

I don't know.

I love you.

I love you too.

Okay, yep.

It's Corinne. What's up?

She's looked everywhere for it and she can't find it.

I can't. I can't tell you that story. You can't not tell me that story.

Okay, well, let me go to the bathroom first.

It's on the left down the hall.

I'm going to open another door.

I'm home.

No broken bones.

You okay, Mum?

Sorry, darling.

He's emailed again, Bill.

What does he want?

Actually makes no sense at all.

Does he think you live in the UK?

He always assumed.

I never set him straight.

But now he thinks I'm in Melbourne visiting...

Helen, I've never even looked up her address.

There isn't so much else, but it's weird, don't you think?

Could be losing his marbles.

Does that change anything for you?

Maybe.

I don't know.

Well, are you going to reply?

I'll think about it tomorrow.

Ian?

Next time, you're the reason he's dead.

We need to talk about that night.

Get out of my house!

I've been framed.

Can't shake the feeling that Amanda knows more than she's letting on. We

stay focused.

People aren't who you think they are.

They won't know you from somewhere.

You repay me.

How did someone do that?

It's all a game.

Well,

the drama is about to take an unexpected turn and then some. Don't miss the

final episode of The Imposter, our brand new drama, tomorrow at nine.

Jean's taking the donkeys around town to spread some festive cheer as we spend

Christmas with the Greens, a Yorkshire Vet special, brand new tomorrow at

Next, the killer makes a call.
