NARRATOR: Previously on The Heights...

- (TYRES SKID) - (CRASH)

It's about Shannon's baby. I'm the father.

- Listen... - Piss off!

- Hey! - What? I'm not going back with him.

You weren't being a good bloke. It was guilt!

Dad!

I... I don't see how we can fix this.

You broke something, Mark.

MARK: So it's over?

I wanna be here for Patch. With you.

You stay and it's under my rules.

Yes!

Ye-ah!

Sometimes you've just gotta wreck stuff.

(BABY COOS)

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

I'll get red everywhere.

Hi, Shannon, Hazel.

- Hi. - Can we come in?

Yeah.

This is Constable Anderson and Senior Constable Wilson.

You don't have to worry about Shan.

I'm looking after her.

That's why we're here.

There's an investigation into your suitability as Patch's guardian.

My suitability?

With the charges against Shannon,

we're not confident that this is a safe environment.

Oh, I'm not... I... I would never do...

Yeah, but she's my daughter,

what was I supposed to do? Kick her out?

We're not saying that.

We just need to make sure that everything's okay.

What, right now? You can't do this.

- Wait. - Can they do this?

- Where are you taking him? - To one of our foster families.

No, wait, wait. Wait.

He needs... he needs blankie and Owlie.

We have everything else Patch needs in foster care.

(BABY COOS)

It's not right. Patch is better off here.

- Get your hands off me. Get off! - POLICE OFFICER: Calm down.

It's okay. It's okay, bubba.

Hey, Patch. Patch, you're okay.

How long?

The sooner you can come to us with a parenting plan the better.

You'll be okay. Mumma's here.

You're okay. Patch. Hey, bubba.

Hey, bubba. Hey, bubba.

You said me being with him was the best option.

Him being with me was the best option.

I know.

We will take good care of him while we get this sorted out.

- It's okay. You're okay. You're okay. - (BABY CRIES)

- Hey, Patch. Patchy! - (BABY CRIES LOUDER)

Mumma's here. (KISSES) Mumma's here. Mumma's here.

Come on, please stand back.

(CRIES) This is my fault!

- I'm sorry! - (BABY CRIES)

I'm sorry!

Baby Patch. This is my fault.

I'm here, Patchy. I'm here!

Patch, I'm sorry!

I'm sorry, Patch! I'm sorry!

Patch!

I didn't want a kid to step on the glass.

Yeah. Yeah.

- I've got it all, so... - Beat me to it.

Yep.

Yep.

- I'd better go. - Yeah. Yeah.

We've got barbecue sauce, hot wings, barbecue sauce, free delivery.

Half-price wings at Mother Cluckers! Today only!

$2 fowl-play fries with every family-sized...

Drive into your future with Driive.

$2 fowl-play fries with every family-sized order?

Mother Cluckers.

Drive into your future with Driive!

Mother Cluckers.

(CAR BEEPS)

The more you drive, the more points you earn,

which gives you access to things like

cheaper fuel and stuff like that.

So where has this ridiculous idea come from?

Obviously I need a new job, okay?

I'll be my own business, I'll make my own hours.

Borrowing money for a car is not smart business.

It's smarter than what I'm doing now.

How much is that prison camp you're going to again?

It's an induction camp, and it's $250.

$250? I made $30 for almost three-hours' work, okay?

And my boss is an evil dictator.

I've done the sums,

if I work six days a week with Driive,

I can pay the cost of the car back in less than a year

and still make enough money for his school stuff.

Then why don't you get registered to drive a taxi like me?

Driive is the future, Uncle.

Mm, actually the Financial Times says

Driive is gonna be on a decrease of business over the next five...

Actually, the Financial Times says he's a nerd.

- I'm just trying to help. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Arash. - Sorry.

Let me tell you what your problem is, okay?

- You were in construction. - Yep.

Then you worked for Mark.

- Now you're a chicken. - Uh...

- Now you want to do Driive. - Uh...

- You need to stick to one thing. - I am.

I am. This is it. This is what I'm talking about.

You say that now, but next week you're gonna make me think

you're going to be a rap wizard or something.

A rap... I don't... (SIGHS)

I don't even know what that... I'll... I'll pay you back.

It's not a good idea.

Why don't you think like your brother?

Stop wasting your money on a car you can't afford.

Build your wealth without debt.

I'm not Kam, am I? I'm...

I don't have a fat-enough head.

(CLEARS THROAT)

It's all good, I'll...

... figure something out.

How? No-one's gonna give you the money.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Not with that attitude they're not.

Ow.

(SINGS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

I've been watching a show that I think you'd really like.

It's about this woman who travels back into the 1800s

to meet her soulmate.

- Is there singing? - Not really, no.

I like musicals.

Ugh! Musicals?

It makes no sense that people just burst into song.

Well, backwards time travel doesn't make sense either.

Stephen Hawking said so.

Isn't that right, Sully?

I have no idea.

Well, like I said, it makes no sense.

Renee. Iris.

Just these, thanks.

Having a good day?

Fine.

Thanks. Forgot the onions.

Mm, you'd better get the memory checked.

Forgetting onions, babies.

Thanks.

Who lies about a baby for that long?

I can't believe him.

- Men are weak. - Mm.

I'm still here.

You don't count.

Pickles and hot sauce, huh?

So?

You're pregnant.

I've only started dipping my toe into this field very recently.

Then what are we doing here?

Because Leonie is a bloody good lawyer.

She's also Pav's ex.

We should be taking as much help as we can get right now.

I've got a lot of contacts in family law.

I think I can be of some use.

I should just move out.

Oh, you're not going anywhere. You can stop that kind of talk.

She's right.

Ultimately, we just need to reassure them

that Shannon doesn't pose a threat to Patch.

- I'm not a threat! - I know.

I know. I know.

But we need to play by their rules.

We'll start by enrolling you in counselling and onto some job sites.

Then we'll get a bunch of statements

from anyone who's seen you and Hazel being great parents.

How many should we get?

As many as possible.

Look, we'll just inundate them

until they're like, "Argh, take him back already."

And what if they don't?

I can't make any promises,

but let's do everything we can.

(DOOR OPENS, SHUTS)

What's up with you?

- SABINE: Cramps. - Ah.

I swear, lying on the floor solves everything.

Muscle cramps? Lie on the floor.

Angry? Lie on the floor.

Existential crisis? Floor.

Well, then...

(SIGHS)

(SIGHS)

Mm. Not bad.

Can I ask your advice on something?

I never made a decision

that didn't mess me up for months afterwards,

but shoot.

Damn, Mother, what about your decision to have me?

Oh, that one messed me up for 16 years.

Me and Mich kissed.

Mich and I.

(GASPS)

- I knew it! - Knew what?

You've always liked each other.

No, we haven't.

So are you two... What are you?

Nothing. He's with Amira.

Ah.

So, yeah, I'm the worst friend ever.

Oh, well, so you kissed, friends kiss.

No, they don't.

And they definitely don't kiss friends

who are boyfriends of other friends that they're friends with.

I'm going to need a chart for that.

So how do you feel about it?

Like some horrible swamp donkey.

I don't know whether to tell Amira.

And it's her birthday today,

and we all have to hang out and it's going to be so awkward.

Oh, well, just forget about that for a minute.

Do you think he likes you?

Maybe.

But all this stuff with Pav, Mich ain't in a good place.

Well, look, feels like the best thing you do for him right now

is be a friend.

- Speaking of... - Mm?

Pav?

No, no, we are focusing on you.

So... should we watch My Best Friend's Wedding?

Oh, shush.

What are you doing?

Well, either way, we're gonna need some phat si-io to deal with this.

BOTH: Pad see ew!

(BOTH LAUGH)

And now I have to tell him. I'm just... I'm really dreading it.

It's your body. Tell him when you want.

Yeah, but he's the one that's going to be raising this with me.

Well, you can raise it on your own, just like I raised Sully.

Well, that's a scary thought.

Well, it's happened, so I guess I just have to deal with it.

You don't have to.

Sully could have had a younger sibling.

Really?

What happened?

Well, my husband had just died.

I couldn't afford it.

Are you saying that I should have an abortion?

No, what I'm saying is you have choices.

MARK: You, uh... you heard of a condom?

Yeah, yeah. Thanks, mate. I'm copping it from all angles.

Well, yeah, it's no good. What, uh...

What did Claudia say about it?

She's still not answering my calls.

Uh... Well, I still love you, mate.

- Cheers, babe. - (CHUCKLES)

You want my advice?

From someone who has...

royally stuffed up, you've, uh...

Well, you've just gotta keep eating turds

and hope that at some stage they'll get over it.

Yeah.

Speaking of eating turds, how's Gary's couch?

Yeah, no, it's... It's fine.

It's... It's couchy.

Well, if you ever need a place to crash...

Thanks, mate, yeah.

No, but, you know, I'm fine. You've got enough on your plate.

Yeah.

Oh, this... This is crap.

Isn't Frankie supposed to be doing this?

I'm just putting on the finishing touches. Let's see what Kat did.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm not letting you copy my kid's homework.

(SIGHS)

SABINE: Look at this little puppy face.

Oh, I'm too hot to live. I've got hectic swoobs.

- 'Swoobs'? - Sweaty boobs.

Okay, forget I asked.

Alright.

That's, um... $10 with the store discount.

What time are you getting there?

Um... Never.

Uh... Amira's birthday.

She doesn't mind.

But it's the school holidays.

(SIGHS) Alright. If I go, that's, like, two hours.

That means, essentially,

I'm 16 bucks down for something that I probably won't even enjoy.

Or you'll have fun, which might prevent the freak-out

you're gonna have by the age of 24 'cause you have no life.

Whatever.

You'll be too cool for us soon, anyway.

On your private-school polo ponies with your private-school mates.

Alright, I might be able to drop by later.

Sweet.

IRIS: Kam!

Sully's foot is stuck in the delivery trolley again.

SULLY: Thanks for telling the whole shop, Mum!

- Alright. I'll see you later. - See ya.

- Oh, hey, birthday babe! - Hi!

Hi!

Hey!

Oi, Mich, check this out.

He's clawing at the door and then it closes on him.

- I've seen it. - Well, watch it again.

This is poetry, man.

It's just a dog pushing open a gate.

We're gonna miss the bus.

TROY: I have awesome news for you, Ash.

- ASH: Yeah? - Yeah.

You're going to be driving away today

with a practicality brand-new car.

- Cool. - Alright.

With our fixed financial plan,

you'll be paying per week, like, 130 bucks.

- Okay. - Alright?

Great.

(CLEARS THROAT) Alright.

Our fixed interest rates start at around 6.7%,

depending on your credit rating.

Great. Uh... Where do I find that?

- You ever had a credit card? - No.

Uh... It's no problem.

We'll just do a check of your credit history and see what's up there.

I don't... I don't think I've got a credit history, though.

That's no biggie.

If you don't,

you're just gonna have a slight... slightly higher interest rate.

Okay.

How high are we talking?

Ah.

(KEYBOARD CLACKS)

There.

Hey.

Nah, we're good, man.

How'd you go?

You're looking at the owner of a brand-new BMW.

- Wait, are you serious? - Yeah.

- No. - Oh.

What happened?

Uh... Let me guess. They wouldn't lend you the cash.

Actually they would, but the interest rates were crazy.

- How much? - 17% of 18 grand.

Phew! Dude, you'd be paying, like, 3K extra a year.

Yeah, it took me way longer to figure that out, but yeah.

So what now?

So now I go back to being a chicken.

I'll think of something.

You're not gonna make me pay for that.

Yeah, of course.

- $2.50. - Yeah.

Ash.

MICH: Why are you being so not weird?

SABINE: You're not being weird either.

Yeah, because you're not being weird.

But just to be clear, this is weird, right?

Yeah, it's weird.

I know what happened only happened

because of what's going on with your dad.

So it meant nothing, right?

(GIRLS SCREAM AND LAUGH)

(GIRLS SCREAM AND LAUGH)

(BOTH SCREAM)

AMIRA: No, don't pick it up!

- No, no, no, no! - Dude, that's a condom!

Save me from the jellyfish condom!

- Mich! - Here! Touch it, touch it, touch it!

- (BOTH LAUGH) - I'll kill you!

PAV: I thought you were supposed to be good at making things.

Well, you know, with the right tools, I mean, nails, hammers, wood.

- Wood'd be good. - Yeah.

You weren't into crafts at school?

Yeah. Well, I mean, I ate a bit of Clag glue.

- That was quite nice. - Oh, yeah. Yeah, Clag glue was...

You know, Pav, I expected better from a gentleman.

- What? - Patch!

Child Services have taken him.

Hang on. What... What are you talking about?

Probably sent to an orphanage to assemble phones.

- I've gotta run. - Yeah.

Come on, there must be something I can do.

Now you pretend to care.

Are you really gonna be this stubborn?

Take your fake hero act somewhere else.

Come on now.

I'm handling it. If there's anything you can do,

I'll let you know, okay?

Sure. Fine.

He's full of it.

Look, I'm not just saying this because I'm his ex-wife,

but Pav could help.

No. No way.

He's an ex-cop, he has no drug history...

Yeah, yeah, okay, but on paper, he looks good.

He has no record of his kids being taken or in foster care.

And I do.

We have to hit on the possibility

that by putting him on the paperwork it'll give us more clout.

No. I don't want him involved.

You said it yourself. We've got a good-enough chance without him.

Okay. Let's give it a red-hot go, then.

- (MICH LAUGHS) - (AMIRA PROTESTS)

- Mich, stop! Stop! - Don't be a wuss!

Stop! Stop! No, stop! (LAUGHS)

You escaped.

Yeah. Just for a bit.

(SIGHS)

I don't have cooties.

(SCOFFS)

(SIGHS)

It seems a bit weird, doesn't it?

Eh?

Sitting here by yourself, doing nothing.

That's why you come to the beach.

That's the point.

Anyway, I'm not doing nothing,

I'm imagining my life as a seal.

- A seal? - Yeah, you should try it.

How the hell do I be a seal?

Lie on the beach all day, clap your flippers, eat fish.

Live your best seal life.

(IMITATES SEAL)

Don't.

Stop!

Piss off, seal.

- (CHUCKLES) Hey! - (CHUCKLES)

Try not to become a private-school wanker.

How?

All private schools have a class in being a douchebag.

Sounds good to me.

Before you know it, you'll be taking Extension Douchebaggery.

I'll come top of the class.

Well, we'll be here either way, for when you...

... need a dose of reality.

Anyway, I only really came to say happy birthday to Amira, so...

Off you go, then.

- Enjoy being a seal. - Yeah, I will.

- You okay? - Yep.

Look, if I'm being honest, I have been having weird feelings.

Figure my head's in a messed-up place

and I just wanted to say that you were right,

the kiss meant nothing.

Okay.

- I just needed a friend to... - Put their mouth on your mouth?

Not how I would have put it, but, yeah.

It wasn't right.

It's okay.

- Pretend it never happened? - Yeah.

And thanks for all the mindless teenage destruction.

What are friends for?

Do you wanna hang tonight?

We can watch TV like old times. Eat mac and cheese?

I've got Amira's birthday dinner.

- Uh. Meeting the parents, huh? - Yeah.

It's at some fancy restaurant,

so I have to wear my grandad's mouldy old suit jacket.

I'm sure you'll look great.

I mean no, you'll probably look dumb.

Probably.

Okay.

Okay.

I appreciate the effort you've gone to,

but I still have some concerns

about how Shannon's pending drug charge could impact on Patch.

Patch's grandmother and his uncle have managed to look after him

for the last six months without Shannon around.

They can continue to do so until Shannon gets better.

It's still a limited support network.

We're worried about how close Patch

came to being in the car with you, Shannon.

It wouldn't happen again. I'd make sure of that.

Would it be right to say

that your relationship is a little strained at the moment?

Given everything, yes.

But we're working on it.

I think that maybe you need a little bit more time to do that.

Just to get back on solid ground.

Without Patch?

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Uh... Yeah, hang on a sec.

(KNOCKING INTENSIFIES)

Jesus.

(SIGHS)

Clucking awesome!

Buy any cheeky-chicken meal deal and get a large free cola!

Large free cola?

Lar...

(CAR BEEPS)

(CAR BEEPS)

(BEEPING INTENSIFIES)

- Whose car's that? - Yours.

Eh?

You know Pedram at mosque, he put this for sale on Facebook.

He'll let us pay in instalments.

What?!

Has a good horn.

- This honk is for 'hello'. - (TWO SHORT HONKS)

Salaam!

And this honk is for when someone's a bloody idiot.

(EXTENDED BLAST)

Good sound, no?

Uh... I guess, yeah.

I already put in a nazar, so it won't crash.

I've still got to get it checked,

but it should pass the mechanical test.

What did you want, an Eli Mask car?

- You mean Elon Musk? - (CHUCKLES) Whatever.

You like?

I love, Uncle, I love. This is awesome.

You're welcome.

What changed your mind?

(MUSIC PLAYS IN HEADSET)

- ASH: Dude, what the hell, man? - What?

The car. You cleaned out your savings.

- You're welcome. - I could have found another way.

What, working 12 bucks an hour?

I told you not to spend your money.

You said it yourself, you needed this.

Yeah, but I don't need you to fight my battles for me, though.

- Well, who else is gonna do it? - I'm the older brother.

- So? - So I do the battle fighting.

Yeah, well, not always.

Listen, man...

The reason I do this crap is so you don't touch your savings.

This is different, alright? This is me investing in you.

- No. Don't you get it, man? - Of course I get it.

You're being a cry-baby 'cause I fixed your problem for you...

For once I just wanted to do something on my own.

Alright, well that's not how it works with us. You know that.

Alright? This is why I'm here every day

while my friends are doing whatever the hell they want.

It's why I can't have a girlfriend.

It's why every time I start to have fun,

I feel like I should be guilty for not working

or studying or doing something, alright?

We do what we gotta do and we take what we can get.

So just suck it up, man.

And you're Patch's dad.

Yes, he's my son.

This is a new thing, right?

We don't have you listed on Patch's birth certificate

or any of the other paperwork.

The father wasn't certain of his paternity until very recently.

And how are you going to fit into the parenting plan?

I want to be involved in his life,

so I'll be around when Hazel and Ryan can't be,

and, you know, while Shannon's getting back on her feet.

The father lives in the same building.

He's willing to provide both financial and emotional support.

LAILA: You know when you say a word so much that it loses all meaning?

What word?

Hash brown.

- Hash brown? Hash brown. - Hash brown.

The more you say it the more it's just so weird.

Hash brown. Hash brown.

- See? - Hash brown.

Hash brown.

Now I'm just hungry.

- Okay. - Come on.

- Hey. - KAM: Mm.

How good's Ash's new uniform?

It's good.

I'll miss the chicken suit.

I won't.

My first customer.

We're gonna get a drive-thru takeaway.

- Awesome. - You wanna come?

- Yeah, I'm done. - Yeah. 15 minutes of fun, buddy.

Ah! See?

- Mm! - Do you like that? It's got lights.

Proper lights.

We can go camping as well, not that we ever go camping.

- Nah, it's good. - Come on, get in there.

- I'm starving! - Seatbelts!

- LEONIE: Home, little man. - HAZEL: Where he belongs.

RYAN: So what are we celebrating with?

- Water! - Aha!

(ALL CHUCKLE)

- (BABY COOS) - Hey.

Yeah?

A word.

I appreciate what you did today,

but it doesn't change anything.

I'm sorry?

Leave us be, Pav.

But I'm supposed to be helping.

Don't need your help.

Child Services seems to disagree.

You don't care about him.

You only care about what people think of you.

Just want to go back to being the good bloke.

Believe what you like, but I meant what I said in there.

No, you didn't.

If that was true, you wouldn't have sat by for six months

with your baby son living in the same building,

having nothing to do with him.

You used my daughter.

Now you know how it feels.

Synced & corrected by QueenMaddie www.addic7ed.com

- Is... Is there any chance... - I've gotta go.

- ... we can talk? - Bye, Pav.

- It should go to someone like you. - Someone like me?

Can I have my dictaphone back now?

- 50 bucks. - What?

Are you okay, Maxie?

Max Dale?

That'd be me.
