I'll take these samples to the lab and get them tested.

CHARLIE: I'll sign when I see the figures.

I give 'em to your sister. The way it's always worked.

You couldn't have seen what you thought you saw

because it didn't happen. 20 grand.

I wanna do another egg retrieval.

We can go in at two o'clock for the initial tests.

Kate! I know I stuffed up!

Please, just let me in!

What have you done?

"What have WE done?" you mean.

HE SIGHS

June.

Cameron.

HE SIGHS

How can we help?

Well, you said things were under control. Is that correct?

SHE INHALES

I've made some inquiries on other proprietors.

We could bring in multiple store fronts, not just one.

Has Charlie signed the financials?

No. HE SIGHS DEEPLY

We're disappointed... June.

I think that's a little harsh, Cameron, considering everything.

I mean...

...can't you just forge his signature?

Two words - plausible deniability.

I'm sure I don't have to explain that to a lawyer like yourself.

Check the holdings. Check the returns.

I think you'll be impressed.

And quite frankly...

if your business model relies on the cover of a little record store,

that's a level of exposure I'm not comfortable with.

Well, thank you for this.

I will, er... run it up the food chain.

The food chain?

I thought you were the boss man.

There are other vested interests.

I've never met them.

You never needed to.

This is workable.

I reckon you're gonna be thanking me.

We'll get back to you.

CHARLIE: Arms up now. Arms up, closer together.

Like I showed you. Like a triangle, yeah?

OK.

Ah! Ooh.

Ow-ah! You're all right, bub. That's all right.

All right. You're getting it. You're getting it.

You know what, though? Kiah...

that was pretty funny. HE CHUCKLES

Go on, kick it back. Kick it back.

KIAH LAUGHS, HE SCOFFS

You're soft.

Oh, kick the ball better next time, then.

Get off the field next time.

Oh... "Get off the field next time."

Boom, boom, boom. Pssh!

Quarter time?

Yeah. Go and get a drink. OK.

HE CHUCKLES SOFTLY What the fuck?

Oh, no.

You were here the whole time.

I had to fend off that Karen of a counsellor

while you were here, playing Cool Footy Dad?

I lost track of time, Amy. Oh, could you be any more useless?

Well, how was it, then? Not good.

You know, it's not a good look, with Kiah's dad not showing up.

I thought we were supposed to handle this problem together.

I know.

You know what?

Kiah's not the problem, Charlie. It's you.

And that's why we're gonna take her to Sydney with us.

Hang on. I haven't said yes to that, Amy.

Are you that much of a selfish prick that you'd say no? Really?

This school, this city, you - none of it is good enough.

And you know that. Hey, Mum!

Hey, bub. You ready? Yeah.

Look, I know you mean well, but she deserves better than this.

And what am I gonna do when she's gone?

I don't know.

Off you go.

You should drift along, like you always do.

Mm. AMY SIGHS

Oh, Amy?

Can I get a lift back to the shop?

No.

See you, bub. Yeah. See you, Dad!

Mum, I learned how to... CHATTER FADES

ON VOICEMAIL: 'Hey, it's Charlie. If I'm not answering, try the shop.'

VOICEMAIL BEEPS Hey, er... Hey. It's me.

Erm, you left early this morning.

I... I hope you're OK.

Anyway, erm, I just...

Yeah. I hope you're good. So... call me.

It's been over the years. I've let you down.

I should have been at that appointment yesterday,

It's funny, you know?

Mm.

You killed George.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You, er...

You ran him over with your car.

Have you been drinking?

And now you're trying to cover it up.

PHONE BUZZING

BUZZING STOPS Is that why, er...

...Charlie's moonjin Sharne?

That's why nobody wants to employ you, Roddy.

You paid for car repairs with your credit card, June.

Even I'm smarter than that.

And then I talked to, erm... CLICKS FINGERS

...a beautiful lady, er, Zoe.

Who? Yeah. No, no, she's a nice lady.

I can see why you like her.

But then... there's the...

Disco Electro crew.

What do you want?

Oh... What do I want?

My job back.

My own desk. Actually, my own office.

If there's enough space in the building, of course.

MAN: June, hello. I wouldn't turn around.

I take it you recognise me.

And that means at least you know something of what I've done and...

and, therefore, you know, what... what I'm capable of, yeah?

Yeah.

It's nice upholstery.

I take it the seats are heated.

Yeah? Yes.

Yeah. You've come a long way. Hasn't she, Cameron?

She's come a long way. Mm.

You've done well for yourself.

Yeah, I take it Cameron told you

that he'd have to run your little plan up the food chain.

Is that right?

Yeah, well, I am the food chain.

And that means I get to decide how I conduct my business.

Am I going too quickly for you or...?

No. See, the 23 shell companies and one legitimate business

that run out of your brother's record store,

that's just a... that's just a small cog

in a... in a very big machine.

But they do their job, and, gee, I like that.

The fuckin' Germans, you know?

They... They know what they're doing, don't they? Beautiful!

Ah.

Hey, bro. You know, just checkin' out the surf there, you know?

Freo dock, it's a bit rough... RODDY GRUNTS

GRUNTING

You see, changing the address of the 23 companies

that run out of your brother's record store,

that's gonna require an awful lot of paperwork,

and it might bring some unwanted attention.

And those are things that I don't like.

And you understand what happens if I'm not happy, right?

RATTLING

MUFFLED: I mean...

How is Kate, by the way?

Still no kids? Not from want of trying.

And your brother's little girl.

I hear she's going to Sydney.

What's her name again? Fuckin'...

Uh, Kiah. Kiah. Thank you, Cameron. Kiah.

We mustn't forget about Charlie cos he's the first one I'm going for

if you don't do what I say.

Financials signed by the end of the day. Yeah?

Excellent. I fuckin' love your car! I fuckin' love it!

CAR DOOR SLAMS

Love you, Mum.

Sad day.

Why are you here, June?

Charlie, it's about Mum.

All right, then.

What's the date on the tombstone?

SHE SIGHS

Don't.

No, don't check your fuckin' phone either.

This is ridiculous. No, you're ridiculous!

Why are you here? I'm here for Mum, you fucktard!

You hated Mum. I loved her.

Oh, bullshit, June. Why are you here?

Just sign the fucking financials!

Why?!

Because your business is not the only one

that runs out of the record store.

HE SCOFFS

The paperwork.

You listed another business.

Businesses. How many, June?

23.

Why? I was in a bind.

It's my fault. I nearly filed for bankruptcy.

Then some people approached me, and...

...I took their offer.

And Kate couldn't bail you out?

LAUGHS Are you insane?

I couldn't ask Kate for that.

I was already walking a tightrope with her at the time.

SHE SIGHS

They're just shell companies, Charlie,

run out of the record store.

They're what keeps us afloat.

I just need you to sign the papers.

Charlie...

Charlie?

Charlie? Get away from me, June.

Charlie!

JUNE GRUNTS

Charlie?!

So, that's the thing with probate,

is you've always got to protect the flanks.

What? Well, it's pretty simple.

Well, it should be.

You get the will lined up, the beneficiaries put in place,

and then you just kick it out of the park.

Then, of course, the umpires get involved.

I'm actually just pretty keen to get home.

The officials in this case, they're like the defence, you know?

They've got a job to do. But, fuck me, they are a pain.

Now, ordinarily, I would insist on certain standards of ID,

but luckily for you, I've got some fancy footwork there.

You know, I'll never forget when George first came to me.

God, he looked so fit, so switched on, you know?

He was lucky he had Valda.

Why lucky?

Well, he went downhill pretty quick at the end, there.

Valda had to do everything for him in those last few weeks,

even dole out his meds.

She what? She doled out his medication.

I mean, he was on some pretty heavy stuff by the end, there.

No, she was an absolute saint, the way she cared for him.

I mean, no wonder he left her the house, eh?

Anyway, it's already in the will.

Can't argue with the refs now, can we, eh?

Erm, I've just got to fill out a couple of pro-formas.

Nothing too scary.

Where are they? Here we go.

So, if you could just fill those out for me...

MUSIC: 'I Don't Care' by Transvision Vamp

I'm led to believe you're on the bones of your arse out here.

I never said that. Why would...?

But here you are, with no way to get home.

That's a shame.

Now, my boy is a good judge of character.

He likes you.

And I need someone of good character.

An old, dear friend just passed away.

He's left me his house. It's in the will.

But there's another beneficiary, a niece.

She's only been left a record collection.

But neither asset can be distributed until she's found.

His family abandoned him.

The actual niece clearly doesn't care.

We could wait up to weeks, months, years, before we get contact.

So, you want me to pretend to be the niece?

That's right, pet.

Just for a week. Sign off a few papers.

Stay in the house if you like.

I'm willing to pay.

How much?

$10,000. Cash.

One week?

Just sign a few papers, that's it?

And the quiet contentment you've helped to honour

an old man's dying wishes.

Can I pass you the bags, Mum?

What do you want?

I want the money you promised me.

And an extra ten grand.

Then I will give you the paperwork, signed and witnessed.

Mum...

Paperwork first, love.

You can count it if you want.

It's not necessary.

Suit yourself.

Can I give you some advice?

Fuck off and go home.

That was a bit mean. The last bit was...

Not another word from you. Righto.

KNOCK AT DOOR, DOOR OPENS

Kate...

Thank you for coming to see me yesterday.

I really didn't wanna see you.

But... I needed to.

And you helped me.

You made me think about...

...what's important to...

I'll just put this down. Sorry. Yeah.

Yeah, you made me think about what's important

and what I want for our relationship.

I have a low ovarian reserve.

That's what I found out yesterday, at the appointment that you missed.

I'm so sorry.

So... does that mean...

...you'll stop trying?

No.

No. We use your eggs.

The ones in storage.

I know that you had some weird hang-up

when we did the egg retrieval, but...

you know, at my age, we don't have much more time to waste.

And... me...

...I think carrying your baby can only bring us closer together.

And I... I want us to be parents.

Why don't you just spill it out, seeing as it's worrying you?

You could do a lot with 20 grand.

OK? You could get new stools for the pub.

You could get... a bingo area set up.

I'm just saying. Yeah, I guess you are just saying.

You know I can't stand a crybaby.

you should go out and get it yourself...
