You found Emma mother and you didn't tell me.

Hello Emma.

I didn't know she was coming.

She just turned up today.

What should I call you.

Let's go with Nana Helen.

Has anyone seen Bobby?

Joan's just worried about you.

What's gonna happen Henry?

Am I gonna die?

Can you see me.

She hiding something.

25 years of something.

Where's Robbie.

I just thought you'd be sorry.

Let's go for a drive.

Helen, ah, you've come home.

♪ Like a snake calling on the phone ♪

♪ I've got no time to be alone ♪

♪ There's someone comin' at me all the time ♪

♪ Yeah, babe I think I'll lose my mind ♪

♪ 'Cause I'm stranded on my own ♪

Cinnamon's kiss.

A dusty pink blusher that's designed

to give the impression of pure calm.

Yearning for desire.

Thank you.

You know when the man that you love

whispers naughty somethings in your ear

and your cheeks flush pink?

We bottled it.

Wow.

Don't be shy, try it on.

Let's see what this desperado palate

looks like on you.

Sweep upwards sweetheart.

Let the powder settle on her cheekbones

like fresh snow on a mountain top.

Fresh snow on a mountaintop.

She's a natural.

I feel tickled by an angel.

Today, you're a makeup assistant.

Tomorrow you could be standing

next to me at the casino.

Thanks Nana.

Aw.

I loved my grandmother.

She taught me all her tricks, bless her soul.

Did she die?

Mm, but she lives on through me.

Because I inherited her extraordinary

sense of smell.

She had the most extraordinary olfactory talents.

Susie smells like peonies

with a distinct layer of clinical peppermint.

I like peony oil.

Jonquil favors Izzy Miaki original scent.

Helen is a mix of cigarettes and lavender.

Rita, scotch and dusty playing cards.

And dear little Verity.

You smell like cereal.

Cornflakes and soy milk specifically.

I'm allergic to cow's milk.

What do I smell like?

You smell like carrot eggs.

I was really hungry.

This is what you've been up to

all afternoon, isn't it.

You look hot.

I'll see you later.

Ladies.

Waiting for an invitation.

I'm dying to join them, it sounds fabulous.

Well, it's not.

See, this is what he keeps doing, spitting,

he won't let us pass.

Maybe you should listen to him.

What's going on Father.

It's not like you.

There, that's better.

Nice.

Can you see me?

Hey, hey, hey.

Oh, shoot!

Call me for refills ladies, all right.

Thanks Rita.

It was lovely.

Bye.

Come on Biv darling, let's cha cha.

You look gorgeous.

I just bought a bottle of desire for $25.

You're going out?

No, in.

You look like you're having fun.

Why don't we go up.

Wow.

Good to see you finally making an effort.

I've actually gotta cook dinner.

Yeah, see you up there.

Could you try and behave yourself, please.

Oh, Zach, is everything all right?

People don't wait on the stairs enough.

Oh, the invention of the escalator probably.

Has something to do with that?

Elvis let me in.

I wanted you to be the first to read this.

Ah, it's finished?

Yes.

And no, not yet.

I'd rather not say.

I'll see what you think.

Wow, it's heavy.

Thick.

I'd really like your feedback Suz.

Good or bad.

Sure.

But don't be mean.

Or pedantic or nigly.

I really hate nigly.

Oh, should I mark any spelling mistakes?

There's one here.

Well, that's nigley and pedantic,

but if you see one, please mark it.

I love a red pen.

Thanks for that.

Bye now.

Enjoy.

It's always awkward when you say goodbye

to someone and the elevator doesn't arrive.

I'll go up the stairs.

Thank you.

The women go for me.

Yes.

Some do.

I'd say quite a few.

Hello Darren.

What now Mr. Mallet?

How many of you are playing this stupid game.

The world bores me, you bore me.

I bore myself.

Was in a band?

Yes.

Look I need to know where Joan is.

Joan, Joan, Joan.

Joan Darling, you know who I'm talking about.

So she was here a week ago

and now she's not here.

She's not the only one.

Look, Joan was making a list

of the ghosts that have gone missing.

I need to see that list.

Oh, this is amusing to you is it?

It's just so incredibly boring.

It's hurting, you have no idea.

Am I English?

Yes.

Am I John Lennon?

No.

Okay, my turn.

Oh, let me finish.

These are your rules.

New rules.

Starting to get a sense of eternity.

You're out Daza, face it.

Did I overdose?

You fell off a ferry.

He's not even dead.

Hmm?

Dickheads.

Where do you really think Joan is?

There are other ghosts missing, too.

As long as you stay out of the human world

till this blows over,

you've got nothing to worry about.

And then one day the old queen fell asleep.

Was she dead?

No, asleep.

And a long, long time passed

until finally she woke up from her slumber.

And do you know what day it was?

Wednesday.

You and I both know she woke up

on a Wednesday, but she didn't know what day it was

or what year it was.

She had spirited years and years away

and she didn't know where she was or who she was.

What does spirited mean Nana?

You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

Have you seen her ears?

She's got the tiniest little ears.

So lobey.

Penelope.

You really like her don't you?

Do you think our star signs are compatible?

Even though, I'm, you know dead?

You may not have a body,

but you've still got your pizazz.

Pizazz.

Yeah.

How do spell it?

P-I-ZED-A-ZED-ZED.

It's a good word.

Pizazz.

Could you maybe have dinner with her

one night here?

No.

I didn't know how to interrupt.

I was just thinking about

that party this afternoon

and I was just thinking no,

I can't believe it.

Believe what?

How little I know about

my new dental assistant Penelope

and that is not on, so I was just giving myself

a damn good talking to.

Hmm.

Pineapple donut.

Bed already.

Yeah, I have been enjoying myself.

You're sitting up in bed at half past

eight in the evening reading a dental magazine.

Rock on.

Oh, right.

I wasn't going to tell you

until I'd finished it,

but now I'm not sure I can finish it.

How far in are you?

I'm a speed reader.

Chapter?

Five.

Amsterdam.

You've slept with a lot of women.

Define a lot.

More than 10.

Obviously one person's a lot

is another person's fuck all.

You could fill a stadium full

with the amount of women you've slept with.

That is an exaggeration.

That is a quote

from this book

that you wrote.

Is it, oh.

Look, so seeing I probably got lucky.

Lucky?

You were more than lucky.

You were like that special upside down

sticky tape for insects.

But for women.

Cockroach tape.

I don't know why you're smiling.

Suz, come on, I'm not gonna lie to you.

They were good times.

Very different times.

Ooh, cockroach tape.

What are you freaking out about.

How many men have you slept with?

Six.

Six?

Yeah, actually five,

I don't wanna count one.

Five.

And I suppose you can name all five

of them can you, because they meant something.

Is that meant to make me feel better or worse.

Morning my love.

Penelope!

Morning.

You're up early.

I couldn't sleep much.

Me, neither.

Really need a coffee.

What are you up to?

I'm gonna go for a run.

Up to in the Life of Henry Mallet?

Oh, well, you just gave it to me last night.

Did you read the introduction?

Yes.

And?

Um, I really enjoyed it.

Any thoughts?

It was a good introduction.

Morning mother-in-law.

Oh, I used to have a jacket

just like that one.

Until Mark Bolin stole it off me.

Hello?

Creepy.

You're late.

I didn't realize we'd made a definitive time.

No problem.

We can make up for it at the end.

The end of what?

The end of tea.

Your apartment has such a lovely feeling about it.

I'm glad you brought up feelings actually.

What do you and Suzy talk about?

Oh, well.

I guess I'm just trying to find out

what kind of person she is.

She's mad.

You've figured that out by now haven't you?

Does she talk to herself a lot.

She's got no friends.

I can relate to that.

Can you relate to me?

Yes.

What do we have in common?

Well, you've inherited my bottom.

You're not taking this seriously.

Oh, what are you up to?

I saw something move.

A cockroach?

Me.

It was the most horrible thing I've ever seen.

What, not it wasn't Penelope, it was me.

I sprayed down the whole surgery

thinking it was just grubby marks,

but I can't erase what I saw from my mind.

It was abhorrent, it was terrifying.

Were you like this about Henry

when you first saw him.

Shh.

Just calm down.

I saw Joan Dart's sister, doctor.

I'm sure of it.

They look exactly the same.

You saw Joan Dart.

She was in a lot of pain.

She was moaning.

She was a ghost.

That's impossible.

Joan wasn't here, I've been here all morning.

You've inhaled a lot of spray and wipe.

She died right here, didn't she, in this chair.

Mm-hmm.

Fresh air.

I think you need to go for a walk

and get some fresh air.

I'm sorry, doctor.

I'll just take five minutes.

I'll walk her to the edge of the building.

Good idea.

It was your idea.

Oh, good idea, nonetheless.

Joan?

Joan?

Why do you sleep at Suzy's

when you have your own house?

My house reminds me of a time in my life

that I'm not ready to revisit.

Too many memories.

Secrets.

Plus it's very dusty.

Painful secrets.

Happy ones.

My happiest.

Do you want to talk about it?

I don't think I'm ready.

Do you talk to Suzy about it.

You're jealous of your sister.

You shouldn't be.

Why would I be jealous of her?

I'm not jealous of her,

she's jealous of me.

You're defensive.

You left us.

Do you blame me for your issues with relationships.

I don't have issues with anything.

Oh, then why did you change your name to Jonquil?

Don't analyze me in my own session.

This is not a session.

That's all we have time for I'm afraid.

I have another client.

I'm not paying.

It's complimentary.

Same time next week.

Suction.

Suz.

I don't know what's happened,

but something's going down in the building.

Have you seen Joan?

Pineapple donuts.

Are you all right Dr. Darling?

Yeah, I was just thinking about donuts.

There is so much sugar in donuts.

Oh, come on.

Don't tell you're pissed off about that.

It was like 30 years ago.

And fucking good for the bio.

Ugh.

Have you got to the bit about the party

at Chateau Mamou?

Yep, done that.

Yeah, done that bit.

We'll just do a bit more drilling now.

Suz, I know I've loved,

slept with a lot of women in my life.

If you're trying to win her back,

you could do better.

Listen, Virgin Mary with the greatest of respect,

you've never even with with a woman.

And now you never will.

You've missed the boat, so maybe you

should spare me the relationship advice.

Stop.

Stop suction please.

Thank you, Penelope.

Suz, there are gonna be bits in my life

that are gonna be difficult to read.

We're all done here.

You know I'm different when I'm with you.

Would you like to sit up?

Suz.

I wanna see other people.

Clients.

I want to see other clients this afternoon.

It's good for business.

You finished?

Come on.

Thank you.

She was here.

All this time.

So sad to think we could have found her.

Or she could have found us.

Why didn't she want to bring me here

to the house herself.

It was too dusty and something about memories.

The electricity company,

they ought to tell us when she left.

I just remembered something.

Where are you going?

The swing set.

No!

Can you see me?

Oh, shivers, they're everywhere.

Suzy.

How do you know my name?

She didn't want to leave you girls.

But we were so in love,

we couldn't see any other way

than to be together.

She hasn't told me about you.

It was difficult for her.

She was always conflicted.

She's very confused.

She's confused about a lot of things.

Do you know where she is?

She's at home, at my home.

She came here with your sister,

but she couldn't see me.

No, of course she couldn't.

Will you tell her that I'm here.

Oh, Robert, I don't think she'd understand.

I think I pulled my neck out

when I landed on my face.

Mustard gas.

Stupid.

Ah, look who it is, little Miss Smelly.

What are we doing now?

Taking in the aroma of old carpet.

Mm, yummy.

What's that?

No, thanks already eaten.

Wow, people do some weird ass shit

when they think they're alive, but you.

I think you need to see someone.

Oh, what the fuck.

Oh, whoopsie, missed.

Don't be frightened, okay.

I'm gonna send you to a better place.

You're gonna what?

What the fuck are you playing at?

Hold still for me.

Shit.

Bollocks I will.

What happened.

Oopsie.

Oh, I think you've chipped your tooth.

Oh.

Code red.

Emergency meeting.

Listen up spookies.

That makeup chick just tried to spit at me.

She is fucking loose.

I think she might be some kind of exorcist.

Maybe that's the reason Joan's gone missing.

She killed Joan.

I don't, I don't know how she did it,

but somehow she could sense me.

Fuck, it's like she was stalking me.

Your majesty, you seen anything like this before?

Random self-combustion.

Yeah, ghosts have actually gone missing.

Happens more than you think.

Does it.

Is that what he's been telling you?

Is it?

So where are they now genius?

In the carpet probably.

That psychotic little bitch in heels

has been killing us and you,

you've know about it all along, haven't you?

That's why you won't go up there.

Finally he's caught on.

So come on then.

Out with it.

What is she?

She's an exterminator.

I beg your pardon, she's a what now?

Exterminator.

Maybe the incredible Henry Mallet

isn't quite so untouchable after all.

Betty, when is the last time you saw Antonia?

I bet she can't even feel the tube in her mouth.

Probably feels like feathers.

Can you tell her she smells amazing.

Are you all right there Jennifer.

Ah, yes, I'm fine thank you.

Just a little woo, woo, woozy from the gas.

Okay.

Also you need to stay still there

for me, stay straight.

There we are, we're all done here.

You can close your mouth.

How does that feel?

Good actually, that's really good.

It's perfect, it's award winning.

You can sit up now if you like.

Thank you so much.

I supposed if you're gonna run into a wall

it's a good idea to do it

in a building with a dentist.

That's what we tell all our clients.

Rinse.

You can just spit it out in there.

Whoops clumsy me.

Suzy, you have done a fantastic job on this tooth.

My mouth feels amazing.

This should clean right up.

Pete.

Doctor?

You smell amazing.

Thank you doctor.

Do you mind just leaving me for a moment

in the chair.

I'm feeling a little bit wobbly.

I'd like to be left alone.

Take all the time you need.

Okay.

Henry!

Henry!

Henry!

She's killing them all.

Suzy.

Did you, uh?

She hates it.

Right, I need volunteers.

I need people to help me clear this building,

floor to floor.

Anyone?

No one?

Betty, thank you.

The rest of you, what are you gonna do,

just stay here forever?

We need to do something

and we need to do it fucking now.

Firstly, you should all know

that Henry has brought this on all of us.

Sorry, what?

By fraternizing with a live one,

you've drawn attention to our world.

We should give her Henry.

Hang on.

Hang on.

This is the guy who five minutes ago

was trying to convince you lot

that your missing friends had

somehow spontaneously combusted.

Why do you keep listening to him?

The king knows how to protect us.

Your human will protect you.

You need to go to her.

Yeah, unfortunately my human would also like to kill me.

The assassin is here for you Henry

and she's not gonna stop until

she rids us of the one she's looking for.

Oh, well.

I will go and warn the others.

The rest of you just stay out of the human world

with Darren the coward from Adelaide

until the killer has gone.

Do nothing.

And we'll see what happens.

Betty.

Henry.

Henry.

Anyone.

Hello Doctor.

Jennifer.

I just wanted to ask you,

what were you doing when you ran into the wall?

It might sound crazy to someone like you.

Well, try me.

I was searching for Rocco.

Rocco?

Rita's husband who passed on.

And I'm, I'm a little bit psychic,

so Rita asked me to set him free.

Did you find him?

I definitely found him.

And there are others, this building is

a hive of activity.

How many have you freed?

Do you believe in spirits Suzy?

I believe in a lot of things.

Okay.

Well, try to imagine that you were stuck

in a building like this for eternity,

that this car park was all you had

for a kazillion years.

Look around.

And then someone like me comes along

and gives you the opportunity to be free,

to be at peace.

Sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

Do you actually know how it works?

My grandmother was an emancipator.

She taught me.

And after she died, I emancipated her, too.

Oh.

Can you imagine it?

Freeing your own Nana from the eternal car park.

It's pretty special.

What if you hurt her?

I didn't.

Henry!

Henry!

Mom.

I didn't think you ate.

I've had the most terrible morning.

It's nothing cake can't fix.

Can't fix a car.

I have to tell you something,

it's not a very easy to say.

Your friend, Robert, he died.

Robbie.

I'm so sorry Mum.

He loved you very much.

No one knows about Robbie.

You went to my house.

Jonquil took me there.

I know this is a bit of a shock Mum,

but he's not back.

He's dead.

I never knew him when he was alive.

I don't understand.

He's the love of my life.

Oh, I saw him Mum, he's waiting

for you to come home.

He's hasn't forgotten you.

Where did he go?

He's always been there.

No, that can't be true.

- He was gone. - Suzy!

Henry.

Who's Henry?

He's the love of my life.

Suz!

That makeup chick, she's serial killer.

I know, she killed Pete in my surgery.

Yeah, and not Antonia's gone missing.

I thought she'd got you,

I've been looking everywhere for you.

I'm fine.

And mom can see ghosts.

Really?

Hello.

No, I can't.

Yes, yes you can.

You could see Robbie.

Robbie said he saw you when you

went to the house with Jonquil.

This is all great, Suz,

I need to go and find Antonia.

Henry.

Robbie was there?

Why can't I see him?

What are you doing?

Oh my God, you're hilarious.

Here sniffy, sniffy, sniffy.

Oh, I've found you haven't I?

Can you hear me?

Oy!

There you are.

Antonia, stay away from her.

No, I love her, can we keep her?

She's a ghost killer.

This won't hurt a bit.

Antonia!

Oh!

I know you like me Henry.

Yeah.

You keep telling yourself that.

Dammit.

Robbie?

Robbie, I'm here.

I don't know why it upset me so much.

This is your past.

It's got nothing to do with me.

Exactly, it was another life.

It's, shoo, Long gone.

I'd hate for you to read a book

about me and Steve.

Believe me, I would hate to read that book.

I don't think I need to know anymore.

I don't want to lose you Henry.

I'm not going anywhere,

not as long as you're here.

Unless of course I get hunted down

by that psycho makeup woman.

I can't have her banned from the building, can I?

Please sign my petition,

there's a rabid beautician

trying to kill my dead friend

with her poisonous spit.

Yeah, unfortunately I don't think

she's gonna rest until she's murdered us all.

As long as you're in the penthouse with me,

she can't get to you.

Oh, terrific, so now my world's even smaller.

I think I have an idea.

Morning witchy poo.

Ah, I've found you haven't I Rocco.

Come and get me.

I've got all the time in the world

to get you where you need to go.

Likewise.

Come.

Come on you mad bitch.

Come on.

Jennifer.

Is everything all right with the crown.

I need to see the dentist.

Jennifer.

I'm glad to see you, too.

Jennifer.

I'm so glad you dropped by.

I need to check that crown.

Some of the amalgam was off

and I'm gonna be worried that it hasn't set properly.

Do I get to to in the surgery?

Yes.

We've had a cancellation.

No we haven't.

Well, we're about to,

can you book out the next half hour

and prep me a bunch of linum injection, 50 mils.

Are you sure?

We're sure.

Who's we?

You and me.

Please keep your head still.

Sorry.

Okay, well numb your mouth now Penelope.

All right, lift your tongue for me please.

Is this normal?

Yes.

We have numb your entire mouth

'cause it's a front tooth.

Doctor?

It's all right Penelope.

Give her another one Suz.

Okay, second one.

You're doing really well.

Give her one more for luck.

One more.

Three?

Mm-hmm.

No, stop.

She's onto us Suz.

Hold her down, hold her down, hold her still.

Here we are.

Doctor.

Okay, it's almost over Penelope.

Ah, beautiful.

Everybody hates injections.

I can't feel my face.

Very dry.

It's all normal.

It's very, very normal.

Hey, hey, you okay?

No, no, no, say no more.

Queen of pain.

Used to be my dentist.

Can I wheel you to your car?

Great.

Shall we.

That'll teach you to fuck with the Mallet.

Suz, that was fucking amazing.

Hold her down, where'd that come from?

So how long do you think it's gonna last.

It'll wear off in a couple of months.

A couple of months?

Three injections?

You paralyzed her saliva glands.

Penelope I'm sorry you had to witness

such a severe procedure.

I quit.

Everybody needs spit Dr. Darling, everybody.

We did it.

Yeah.

We did it.

Helen, I'm here.

Mom, he's here.

Helen, I've always been here.

He said he's here, he's always been here.

I never would have left you all alone if I knew.

How could you have known my love.

He understands.

How would you have known my love?

His love.

You love.

There was no light, no warmth,

no newspaper, no television.

I left you all alone in a darkened cave.

I will never forgive myself.

The only thing I really missed was you.

You'll have to tell her, she can't hear me.

Yeah, sorry, of course.

The only thing he missed was you.

If you could just give us a few moments alone.

I need to say some things in private.

I'll be outside.

I can't wait any longer.

Do it.

It's not working.
