ANNOUNCER: Previously on The Heights...

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

- (CRIES) This is my fault! - (BABY CRIES)

- Whose car's that? - Yours.

- Eh? - This is me investing in you.

I just wanted to do something on my own.

That's not how it works with us.

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

What?

- Pav could help. - No way.

On paper, he looks good.

And you're Patch's dad?

Yes, he's my son.

I appreciate what you did today, but it doesn't change anything.

But I'm supposed to be helping.

You used my daughter.

Now you know how it feels.

(DRUNKENLY) I mean, he totally knew

I looked like an inflated balloon in that photo.

- Yep. - Oh!

Do... Do... Do you mind if I smoke?

- Oh, yeah, it's a non-smoking car. - Mm, yeah, just one.

Where was I? Ibiza!

- Yeah. Can you just sit back, bro? - Dude, dude, dude,

I'm telling you, when you see the sand

and each, every single grain, and you connect them,

you realise they're dots,

and when you connect all the dots, you realise what you're looking at.

That's the evolutionary tract right there.

- Right. - That's what Moses came from, man.

Yeah, man.

(CHEERING)

Oh, no. (LAUGHS) You can't.

I'll take you to the beach with me.

We're gonna have a barbecue.

I'll make sure it's halal.

- No, hey, can you not? - I just...

Susan and Johnny! Susan and... Say it.

- ALL: Susan and Johnny! - Susan and Johnny!

- ALL: Susan and Johnny! - Susan and Johnny!

Most people don't experience things.

They don't even experience experience.

- We're, uh... We're here. - Oh, great.

Here, have a tip.

- Thanks. - That was great.

See ya.

4.9? It's not bad.

It's not 5, though, is it?

HAMID: Always with these stars.

Who cares what your passengers think of you?

Bad rating, no work. It's pretty simple, Dad.

HAMID: Simple is you pick them up, you drop them off.

I like to get to know my riders.

You like being liked.

But what is really important is how much money you make.

Who's to say you can't do both?

What did you pull last night?

Uh... $187 plus $45 in tips.

Alright. And what about you, Uncle?

What do you usually pull on a regular day?

More than that.

And I don't have to offer them water or a friendly ear.

Well, are you willing to put your money where your mouth is?

He wants to make a bet.

Alright, whoever makes the most amount of money

by the end of the day wins.

Wins what?

I don't...

Whatever you want, dude. That's not the point.

I'm in if you're in.

I completed a university prep course,

where I maintained a distinction average.

This awarded me early entry into a Bachelor of Nursing,

which I intend to complete

while working full-time as a nursing assistant.

I believe this shows I am more than capable

of juggling both work and study

and thus makes me a perfect candidate

for the academic bursary you have available.

Well?

Yeah, it's, um... It's good.

But not great?

Okay, I... I suck, that's what you're saying?

I did not say that.

Well, then what is it about my interview response

that makes you look like you've been pooped on by an ibis?

Well... maybe you shouldn't mention

how well you've juggled work and study.

But it shows how awesome I am.

Maybe you could also benefit from a little more, uh...

... personal spin.

Personal spin?

Yeah, make mention of the fact that you helped nurse your mother

when she was ill.

Why?

Well, it shows how committed you are.

Mm.

Also you could mention that you live in public housing,

you grew up there.

NURSE BREE: Right, are you two ready to roll?

- Yeah. - Yep.

Let's get this blood drive pumping then.

UNCLE MAX: So the pub's up and running then?

Just when I thought I was out.

Oh! Oi, careful, woman.

Sorry, sorry.

We wouldn't want the world to know you're not a natural blonde.

Oi, you,

keep those tentacles to yourself.

- No. - (BOTH CHUCKLE)

SHANNON: Ahem.

How'd you go?

I called Carol about getting my old cleaning job back.

But she's not exactly keen to hire someone with a pending drug charge.

Sorry, love. Something'll come up.

Job search.

Right. Parenting plan.

Mm. Speaking of...

How about we get you some breakfast?

He's already eaten.

Oh, well, maybe I can give you a bath then.

Done.

Is there anything I can do?

A cuppa would be nice.

UNCLE MAX: We're heading off to the blood drive soon.

You should come.

Oh, I would, but, uh... ex-junkies can't donate.

I'll come for the walk, though.

One sugar or two?

(KNOCKS)

Better not have what I think it has in it.

Oh, what? No. It's nothing.

It's just, um... some dog poo.

(SCOFFS)

Oh.

Found it down the side of the bed the other day.

That's where I left it.

Oh, well, thanks for returning it.

It's nothing. Just figured...

You'd use it as an excuse to come over?

Pretty much.

Sorry I haven't returned any of your calls.

It's just... I didn't want to.

Ouch.

Sorry. That came out harsher than I intended.

- Is... Is there any chance... - I've got to go.

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

(INDICATOR TICKS)

- Helena? - Mm.

And we're going to Alston Avenue?

Any, uh... Any music requests?

- Huh? - Music?

I don't care. Whatever you want.

Right. And you're happy for me to follow the app...

Can we get a move on?

(CAR BEEPS)

Yep.

I knew you wouldn't turn your back on your people.

I said so, I said Ryan will return,

open The Railway and restore order to the universe.

So when's your better half joining us?

- Uh... Who? Lottie? - Mm.

She's just sorting some stuff out in London, her sister...

Might be a while.

So that means I'll have you all to myself in the meantime.

- Eugh. - (CHUCKLES)

There you are!

I thought we'd see you at the blood bank.

Just hydrating. Third water of the day.

Gotta keep those veins prepped.

Good, because a lot of mums and their bubs depend on you.

What?

- Didn't know, did ya? - Know what?

I'm a pretty big deal at the, uh... blood-donor scene.

Oh, yeah, the gods have gifted to me

the power to prevent diseases in the newborn.

- Yeah? - Anti-D.

Saves millions of lives.

And there's only 200 of us anointed out there that can make it.

(LAUGHS)

What type are you?

- Pretty sure I'd be the same as you. - SHANNON: So O-negative?

Good, just what the blood bank is looking for.

Better get down there then, do your bit.

I would, but can't today, working.

HAZEL: We're here now.

Yeah, but there's lots of stuff to do.

Like?

Like...

... checking the air vents...

for...

air.

- Baby. - Shut up.

You're still a big sook when it comes to the ol' jabby-jab, are you?

Remember that time Kenny Mack tried to pierce your lip

- and you threw up all over yourself? - Can we not?

And then everyone dubbed you 'Vom-Dog Millionaire'

and they called you that for months.

He came at me with a rusty needle.

So I take it you won't be donating blood?

Heya. You need a hand?

I've got it.

Okay.

Hi. You ready?

Iron levels spot-on. I am good to go.

Right. Follow me.

Hey, today's the day, isn't it? Your interview?

- Yep, this afternoon. - How are you feeling?

- Meh. - Ah, you'll kill it.

Thanks.

Right, just head on up there and Bree will sort you out.

NURSE BREE: Be with you in a sec, darl.

Right, let's get you set up here.

Uh... Is there anywhere else that I could sit?

It's just... I'd prefer a view.

Oh, sorry, this is all we've got available at the moment.

I'll be right back.

Of all the blood drive joints in all the towns in all the world,

you walk into mine.

Um... You just missed the turn.

Oh, sorry.

The map's redirecting the route.

Shouldn't be too out of the way.

Or do a U-turn.

I can't. I'll go round the block, yeah?

That's even further out of the way.

I know, I know, but it's not safe.

There's too many cars around.

- Just... it won't... - Whatever, just let me out here.

It's a no-stopping...

Can you just let me out of the car already?

Alright.

(CAR BEEPS)

Sorry.

- Seriously? - I... didn't mean to.

Idiot.

- (CAR BEEPS) - MAN: (YELLS) Move your arse!

(CARS BEEPING)

(SCOFFS)

(MACHINE BLEEPS)

Hey.

I've got this, uh...

this weird feeling that you're, um... mad at me.

And now that feeling is confirmed.

Don't worry about it.

Or you could tell me what I did and we can sort it out?

Nothing. It's fine.

Is it the interview? I know you're nervous.

I wasn't.

Not until you gave me your notes.

Ah.

Um... I was just trying to help.

How is telling me to play up the fact

that I live in public housing helpful?

- It's an academic bursary. - So?

So it should go to someone like you. That's the point.

Someone like me?

WATTO: Need not fear, Captain Anti-D is here.

Ah, Malachy! I've been expecting you!

Come with me.

I have saved you the best seat in the house.

G'day, mate. Here to donate?

- Unfortunately. - What was that?

Just keen to do my good deed for the day.

Alright, cool. Come on.

This is surprisingly fun.

I should get one for home.

A foam ball?

Yeah.

It's good for stress relief.

How have you been?

Mm.

Same.

So how's the Patch sitch?

Complicated.

Mm. Had an inkling it might be.

- Are you seeing him much? - No.

At all?

Not that I don't want to.

He's my kid,

I want to be in his life.

But Hazel...

let's just say she's not about to start a We Love Pav fan club

anytime soon.

(CHUCKLES) Probably wouldn't get many members at the moment anyway.

Cheers. (CLEARS THROAT)

I don't blame you for ending whatever it was we had.

I mean, we were just getting things started up again

and I went and had a baby with my neighbour.

It's just...

There were always so many hurdles,

there's kids, exes... more kids.

But we managed to jump over them. Why not this one?

Because...

You said you wanted to be the sort of man I could be proud of.

I still do.

Well, maybe you should focus

on being someone you can be proud of.

You're a weed-dealing ex-cop

who got a young girl pregnant and then said nothing for six months.

When you put it like that...

You're a good guy, Pav, you're a good dad,

but you've got some work to do.

I like you, Pav.

I like spending time with you.

Like playing Uno together?

ASH: One tiny mistake, a missed turn.

Would have been an extra 30 seconds of driving.

She gives me a single star. Now I'm down to 4.2.

Alright, it's not that bad, okay?

You serious?

Look, it's pretty bad, but what can I say?

I mean, sometimes customers are just jerks.

- Hey, don't talk like that. - What? It's true.

First rule of business, customer's king. Always.

- Understood? - Yeah, alright.

And, you, stop wasting my staff's time with your whining.

Customer's king, remember?

How much have you made so far anyway?

A bit. Did a couple of airport runs this morning.

Alright, focus on that. It's all about the moolah.

And also your rating, don't worry about that. You'll get that back up.

For now just focus on beating Uncle, alright?

- (PHONE CHIMES) - There you go, there's another job.

Yeah, not exactly.

It's that chick.

She left some dictaphone thing in the back of my car.

Wants me to drive it over.

Customer's always king.

- See ya. - See ya.

Right, you ready to go?

Can I just ask, how much blood do you take exactly?

Nearly 500 mils.

As in half a litre?

And the human body can handle that?

Don't worry, you'll be fine.

Promise. Okay? Come on.

Okay, I'll just swab your arm.

There we go.

Okay.

(BREATHES LOUDLY)

See? Barely a prick.

- Huh? - There we go.

I'll just hook you up here.

- Are you alright? - Mm-hm.

Ugh.

Oh, we've got a Sleeping Beauty.

Okay, you're all good, mate. Just... Just breathe, mate.

- You're alright. - Ugh.

Oh, goodnight, sweet prince.

ANA: Welcome back.

- Oh, hey! - Hey!

EVAN: Heya, buddy.

I'm just gonna grab that one for you.

What, uh... happened?

Uh... You threw up.

- On Evan. - Oh.

Sorry.

It's alright. I've, um...

I've had worse. How you feeling?

Just a bit light-headed.

Must be from all the blood loss, I guess.

Oh. Yeah, no, we didn't actually take any.

You didn't?

You kinda can't when the donor's out.

Oh.

Well, we'd better get back to it, I guess.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Thanks, mate, but, um... we can't let you donate today.

I'm fine.

I appreciate the commitment, but you're really not well enough.

It's probably best if you just take it easy.

Yeah. I'll, um... I'll get you a lollipop,

get those blood-sugar levels back up.

(CHUCKLES)

Well, Vom-Dog Millionaire strikes again.

(CHUCKLES)

(PHONE CHIMES)

_

Thanks for coming.

It took me 45 minutes to get here.

- Sorry. - And I had to reject work.

I appreciate it, really.

My boss would've killed me if I lost that dictaphone.

If it was so important, you shouldn't have forgotten it.

Well, I was distracted by the fact that you'd missed my turn.

- Could've gone around the block. - Or you could learn how

- to read a map properly. - What's your problem?

Me? Whatever. Can I have my dictaphone back now?

- 50 bucks. - What?

That's how much you cost me returning it.

I don't have that much on me.

- Then you don't have your dictaphone. - Are you for real?!

Sure am.

- Arash, that's Iranian, right? - So?

So didn't you ever learn how to 'taarof'?

(SCOFFS)

(STARTS ENGINE)

No moolah, no mic.

Watch out.

PAV: You got enough there?

They're free!

My blood sugar's low.

I'm gonna share with Sabine.

Have you got any, uh... plans for the rest of the day?

You heard what the nurse said, no strenuous activity.

Just lazing in front of the TV?

Yeah, perhaps. Or...

maybe I could go a card game.

Are you, uh... sure that you want to...

that you're not too, uh...

too weak to, you know... after giving blood?

What? No, I'm fine. Are you?

Yeah. Oh, yeah, I'm more than fine.

- Just don't want to take advantage... - No, no, no, you're not.

ANA: Still here?

Uh... Waiting for Watto.

That nurse said I wasn't allowed to walk home alone.

Where are you off to?

Oh, um... An interview.

Uh... The hospital offers these bursaries for further study,

so I thought I'd apply.

That's awesome!

Yeah. But I'm a bit nervous about the interview.

Thought I knew what I was going to say, but...

Does this have anything to do with Evan?

You were pretty icy towards him.

You noticed?

Bree noticed even with her head so far up Watto's cannula.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Ah! We had a bit of a disagreement over some of my responses.

Essentially, he told me to play up my povvo-ness...

... to mention how I grew up in the towers

and how much this money would mean to someone like me.

I'm sure he didn't mean to come across so...

Snobby? Condescending? Douchey?

- Yeah. - All of those things.

He might have a point, though.

You too?

Finishing school, going to uni,

that stuff is easy when you're a rich kid.

None of that was handed to you, Ana. You had to fight for it.

That's gonna make you a better nurse.

And that's why you should get the bursary.

You've got vomit on your shoe.

It's one of those things. If it's meant to be, it'll be, you know?

- Well, thanks for the ride. - No worries.

- And have a good one. - You too.

Hey, and remember, 5 stars.

Oh, my man, you got it.

Thanks, buddy.

(SIGHS)

HELENA: So you don't want the $50?

Ghabel nadare. Nah, I mean it.

Well, thanks then.

So what's... What's on that thing anyway?

Work stuff. Research, testimonials. For my boss.

- Sounds important. - It is very important.

Anyway, I'm sorry about before.

I'm usually not that big of a jerk.

More jerk-light, huh?

Exactly.

Well, I'm not usually such a cow, so I get it.

Moo.

(PHONE CHIMES)

Sorry.

I should...

(ENGINE STARTS)

CLAUDIA: Ew!

These choc-chips are actually blueberries.

Oh, surprise fruit?

I hate it when that happens.

(COUGHS) Yuck.

So...

- ... that just happened. - (CHUCKLES)

Twice.

And now?

And...

that's that.

We've said our goodbyes and...

(SIGHS)

(PHONE BUZZES)

Who is it?

Have you gotta know all my business, do ya?

Hello?

(BABY COOS)

SHANNON: Hey! Oh!

Do-do-do.

You right to give him a bath before bed tonight?

Totally, yeah.

Better hit the road then.

Are you okay, Maxie?

Eh? Yeah.

Just hungry, that's all.

HAZEL: Perfect timing.

We're taking the little fella home.

Wanna pick something up on the way?

Sounds good.

Barkeep?

Hey! What are you doing here?

- What is that? - Kenny Mack's house number.

- I stole it. - Why?

The bursary, they pretty much gave it to me on the spot

because of your emo speech.

Just wanted to repay the favour.

By vandalising Kenny Mack's house?

He scarred you for life with that nickname.

Well, we should celebrate your success.

I think we have a bottle of not-so-terrible bubbly

around here somewhere.

I wish I could, but I can't stay.

I'm having dinner with Evan.

Of course. Yeah.

- So you two... - Made up.

I told him I was overreacting.

You?

Ha-ha.

- Maybe next time. - Yeah.

Definitely.

I'll see ya.

- Bye. - Cool.

KAM: Hey.

- Hey. - LAILA: Hi.

Well?

Well...

... $196.

- $30 in tips. - That's heaps.

$272.

- Snap. - In pocket.

So it looks like I win.

- (GROANS) - Hey...

... $226 is a good day, bro. A really good day.

- I know. - (PHONE CHIMES)

_

Max Dale?

That would be me.

Dr Kallum Sharma.

Please come in.

Take a seat there.

So... what have we got here?

It says here you were called in after you donated blood?

That's correct.

Okay, let's see why.

Right.

Right, okay.

What is it?

It seems that the lab that screened your blood donation

found an anomaly.

A what?

The lab technician

noticed an unusually high count of immature white blood cells.

- Which means? - Nothing yet,

but I would like to do a couple of follow-up tests.

Because you're looking for what exactly?

It could be an infection that your body's trying to fight off,

but with a count like this it could also be indicative of leukaemia.

You mean cancer?

It's a possibility,

but let's not get ahead of ourselves, okay?

I know you from somewhere.

They're racist!

So you think they're targeting Indigenous clients?

You've got a right to be angry at me,

You right, Uncle?

Yeah.
