ANNOUNCER: Previously on The Heights...

I think I'm lonely, but then something...

Maybe I have been keeping a part of myself switched off.

Got to find out if there's any truth

to the rumour that her lot's planning

a fire sale that includes the Towers.

Is that Dane? Are they laughing?

So what, you guys are mates with Dane now?

- We're not mates. - And you?

I accepted a promotion at work.

So you took this just to get us out of the hole?

No, Mark. I... I enjoy my work.

I see a future in it.

Is it true? You two kissed?

We just broke up and you had to go and put the boot in.

In the scheme of things, 15,000's not that bad.

- KAT: 15,000 what? - Dollars.

Leonie.

Well, I've seen worse outcomes.

You think I didn't hope for a bigger windfall?

It's not like I've been raking it in lately.

Why did we get so much money?

Can we not talk about this in front of the kids?

Why? They should know what's going on.

Remember how we spoke about Dad's injury?

How he might be getting a payment to make up for it?

We can still challenge the ruling, though, can't we?

We're not going to challenge the ruling.

You handed them a loophole when you declined desk duties.

Being chained to a desk isn't why I became a cop.

I know, but it's how they can argue you left the force voluntarily.

It's been five years, Pav.

Take the money, move on.

What a mess, eh?

Food is meant to go in your mouth, not on the floor.

Where's Max?

Back at his. He needed a rest.

Right, course.

So what do you reckon?

One pay cheque and you hit the shops?

Well, it was on the sale rack at Kmart.

Ana's blazer makes me look like Mary Poppins.

Bit on the small side too.

Thanks, Mum.

I work for a lawyer,

gotta look the part, 'cause I sure as hell don't feel it.

I thought it was going well.

It is. It's just harder than I thought it would be.

So much legal jargon and acronyms and Latin.

And all the forms have numbers like 8A and 56B.

Come here.

Are you being a good boy eating your dinner?

Thought we could try him on some new foods.

What'd you give him?

Some strawberry, cauliflower.

But he ain't buying what I'm selling.

Are you?

Let me get this off and I'll have a go.

Suits you.

(SIGHS) Thanks.

SABINE: I'm sick.

Symptoms?

Fatigue. Loss of appetite.

Malaise.

Swollen glands, I think, right here.

Mm. Well, it could be mumps,

but given your mother's firm stance on vaccination,

are you sure we're not dealing with something more psychosomatic?

Well, every one of my friendships has blown up in the past 24 hours.

School absolutely sucked yesterday.

So, yeah, I think the stress of it must be manifesting physically.

It makes sense.

It does.

Well, the way I see it, you've got two options.

You could take the day off or just go to school, face the music.

Or I could never go back and you could home-school me.

That is a sure-fire way to a murder-suicide pact.

Well, whatever you decide to do is fine by me.

But if you're staying here... (KISSES) keep the deadlock on.

Hope you're coming to this.

It's ages away. Plus I can't even vote.

So?

People like it when they see young fellas at these things.

Shows we've got wide support.

Alright, then.

I'll hold you to that.

Look, when I agree to something, I stick to my word,

unlike some people I know.

What you on about?

Just some stupid thing with Sabine.

Sabine?

I thought you were sore about Amira.

Both of them.

I only got one woman. And that's enough for me.

- Hey, Pav. - Hey, fellas.

How'd you go at your compo hearing yesterday?

- Didn't go my way. - Bugger.

He's too good for a desk job. He'd rather be a deadbeat.

Hey, steady on!

He's just crabby 'cause he got dumped.

Oh. Sorry to hear that.

I dumped her.

Going to school.

See you later.

- Hey. - Jesus!

You know we were robbed last week?

Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

But you did mean to lie to me

for weeks about being mates with Dane.

That's what I'm here about.

I just wanted to say it wasn't cool and I'm sorry.

Only 'cause you got caught out.

I mean, were you ever going to tell me?

Yeah, but there was never a right time.

I know how you feel about him, so...

Because he sent intimate photos of me to his mates.

And you being friends with him makes him think that it's okay.

He knows that it's not okay. And he feels terrible about it.

Hang on, I thought you were here

to apologise to me

not for Dane's pig behaviour.

Look, I'll stop hanging out with him.

Okay? Because your friendship means more to me.

If that were true,

you never would've become friends with him in the first place.

- KAREN: Hi, Mark. - MARK: Oh, hi, Karen.

I was expecting Renee.

Oh, she had to work early.

Oh, I'm practically living there at the moment.

I thought you worked from home?

It's the construction phase of one of my fit-outs.

- Ah. - You know how it is.

You undercut the competition to get the job, promise the world.

Then you gotta beg, borrow and steal to get it done

and buzzing around like a blue-arsed fly.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

I would have said a headless chook, but I like the fly analogy.

Hey, um...

Hey, if you need more hands, I can...

Oh, I thought you had enough on.

Well, it's always good to get extra coin, you know?

- Help get ahead on a few loans. - I hear you.

I'm about to cut up the credit card.

Bit of a shopping spree?

Ebay. I have an addiction.

Hey, are you free later today?

Well, I'm heading off to do a quote now,

but after that, yeah.

Okay, pop your number in. I might have something.

Uh... cool.

(STUDENTS CHATTER INDISTINCTLY)

Sabine!

Hey.

(SQUEALS) We got the leads, baby!

You're looking at Professor Henry Higgins right here.

Cool, gender swap. You're gonna nail that.

And you're Eliza!

Oh, whoa.

That's really awesome.

(BOTH EXCLAIM)

ANIKA: Sabine? Really?

As if she needs more limelight.

You think she deserves this? After what she did with Mich?

Kind of not related, but whatever.

Right.

Come on, let's go.

Don't we have a maintenance person?

You're looking at her. No money left in the budget.

We're strapped till the new financial year.

Can I help?

Do you know how to change a drain pipe?

No.

- Washers? - Uh... What are they?

That's alright.

I'm sure I can find another use for you.

- Make us a tea? - That I can do, yes.

- SHANNON: Leonie? - Yeah?

Um... I'm just doing the calendar

and I, um... I wasn't sure about the limitations date

for the D'Angelo case.

Oh, we went through this last week.

I know, but I remember you said

that there wasn't, like, a hard-and-fast rule or something.

Yeah. In this particular instance,

it's from when the incident occurred.

Okay, great.

What did you expect?

We've seen this before. Heaps of times.

Yeah, but 15K? For five years off the job?

So what now?

Well, the payout kind of limits my options.

Mm? Had big plans, did you?

- Maybe. - Mm.

What I do know is I can't keep doing what I've been doing.

Which is sweet jack-all.

To be honest, the thought of being my own boss is appealing.

Working my own hours,

doing something I enjoy, something I'm good at.

Which is?

I don't know. Anyway...

Listen, I've got a mate in retail security.

I'll hook you up.

- Security? - Yeah.

What's it pay?

Yeah, not that much, but it's easy work.

And, uh... you don't look

as if you're fending off offers at the moment, eh?

Do you want it or not?

This is disgusting.

I'll pick it up.

Mm.

MICH: Hey, Amira.

I just want to say one thing.

I kissed Sabine.

Alright? It was me, not her. I...

I was feeling upset. She was there. I... I did it.

She pulled away. End of story.

So it was my fault, okay?

I'm the jerk.

I promise, Meg, we'll get this sorted as quick as we can.

I'll call you.

(MEG CRIES)

Is she alright?

Shannon, do you remember that paperwork I gave you on Friday?

For the Administrative Tribunal?

Oh, yes. Yeah, of course.

Did you send it?

I did. I sent it on Monday.

That paperwork was for Megan.

She's been evicted from her council flat.

And because we didn't get the paperwork in on time,

I now have to lodge an emergency application.

She may end up sleeping in a shelter tonight because of us.

Right.

Well, Friday was, like, really hectic. There was a lot on.

And I didn't know there was, like,

a strict deadline with the mail stuff.

You didn't tell me that.

Shannon, when I said today, I mean today.

Understood?

Okay, yes.

(STUDENTS CHATTER INDISTINCTLY)

Hey.

You think you can sit with us?

No, I just wanted to say I'm sorry...

Nothing you say can take back what you did.

- I thought you were my friend. - I was.

I am.

I really care about you and I feel like crap for hurting you.

I know it's going to take some time,

but I really hope you can forgive me.

I will never forgive you.

Come on, Amira. You can't just blame Sabine.

I blame you both.

Mich is dead to me too.

We'll be too busy in rehearsals for hangs with them anyway.

Silver linings?

KAREN: Thanks. Good luck with everything.

Thanks.

Everything alright?

Oh, just another contractor lost to FIFO.

Can't compete with the mining money, can I?

Nope.

Oh, Gamblers Anonymous?

Sorry. I... I didn't mean to pry.

Oh, no, no, that's fine.

And there I was making jokes about addiction this morning.

Well, you weren't to know.

No, I really shouldn't make light of it. My sister's in GA.

- Really? - Yeah.

Five or so years now.

I see her going through those steps,

sometimes sliding backwards, trying again.

It's... It's tough, isn't it?

Well, it can be, yeah.

I'm in awe of anyone who does it.

Anyway, the upshot of losing that bloke

is I have more work if you want it.

Yeah, that'd be great. Thanks.

Well, you could start with putting all this stuff in the skip.

No probs.

Oh, hang on, what about these tiles?

They're... Nothing wrong with them.

They're leftovers.

No space to store them.

Well, would you mind if I keep them? If you're chucking them anyway?

Oh! Be my guest.

Consider it a bonus for stepping in last-minute today.

Dane, what are you doing here?

We didn't have a chance to chat at school.

Yeah, um... I had that Duke of Edinburgh meeting at lunch.

Right, 'cause kinda felt like you were avoiding me.

Yeah.

Look, Sabine's not chill with us being mates.

Yeah, I figured that from her reaction the other day.

You never told her?

Nah, not directly, no.

Why?

I don't know.

I didn't want to rock the boat, I guess.

But now she's pissed at me, so...

Yeah, I get it.

- See ya. - See ya.

(SIGHS)

Hey, you did the right thing.

- Think so? - Mm-hm.

Cutting myself off from Dane's network?

All of his connections?

What I'm about to tell you never leaves this shop.

Okay.

And you're never gonna tell another living soul.

Yeah, okay. I won't.

Friends are more important.

We can watch Drag Race together tomorrow night.

Yeah, you can still order pizza. Get Mich to do it on the iPad.

I know, I know, I promised,

but I'm trying to stop a lady from sleeping in a shelter tonight.

Okay, see you in a few hours. Love you. Bye.

What's up?

I'm really sorry.

I know, Shannon.

I screwed things up for that woman and now you have to stay back.

It happens.

Are you sure there's nothing else I can do?

Yeah, just try not to make that mistake again.

I'll see you tomorrow.

- Bit dramatic, don't you think? - What?

Staking out my house.

You don't respond to texts, so...

I don't respond to your texts.

Hate me, fine. But don't be mad at Kam.

What the hell is with you guys being each other's cheerleaders?

He's a good guy and he's really cut about upsetting you.

He shouldn't have lied then.

Is him being friends with me really so bad?

Yeah, 'cause last year you pulled a total dick move

by sending out that photo of me.

Which I've been trying to apologise for.

What do you want me to do, Sabine?

I'm serious.

I know how totally cocked up that was.

Tell me what will make a difference and I'll do it.

Nothing, Dane. What's done is done.

So that's it?

You're saying one mistake cancels someone forever?

In your case, yeah.

What about what you did?

Sorry, what?

You kissed Mich when he was with Amira.

How did you even know about that?

Mich told Kam, Kam told me.

Kissing someone you shouldn't

isn't in the same league as revenge porn.

I'm not saying that.

But just think about never being forgiven for it.

Nice try, but you are not going to flip the conversation.

And, actually, I think we're done with it.

Okay, then.

(GASPS) Look, Patchy. Here's Mama!

Yeah!

- How was work? - Fine.

Hello, little man.

At least you looked snazzy.

Ah!

Hey.

Ooh, oh.

Oh.

No!

Just ate beetroot for the first time.

Here.

That'll need a soak.

Come on, bubba.

Let's get you cleaned up.

Aw!

(GROANS)

Hey, how's it going?

Fine. Everything's... fine.

(SIGHS) It's the job with Leonie.

I've been slogging my guts out and nothing is good enough.

You've just started.

Yeah, I've been doing it long enough to know I'm not cut out for it.

Quitting tomorrow.

Leonie's probably going to have to fire me anyway,

so I'll just save her the awkward chat.

What are you going to do instead?

Borrow Ash's chicken suit.

- Hand out flyers. - (CHUCKLES)

Could go back to cleaning.

I'm better at that.

It pays less.

You're gonna have to deal with people's filth.

And the work's not as regular, but it's way less stress.

I don't have to worry about what to wear, for starters.

Best thing about being a cop was the uniform.

Leonie told me about your hearing.

- Sucks. - Yeah. Yeah, it does.

It's like a really crappy season finale.

To a really boring show.

About a guy who sat on his couch and smoked weed

and occasionally bonked his upstairs neighbour.

(BOTH LAUGH)

I'm surprised it ran for as long as it did.

Hey, what are you doing tomorrow?

Why? Do you want some help with Patch?

Nah, I was just going to swing by

and pick you up on my way to Centrelink.

Hey, Shannon?

You probably shouldn't quit your job.

And you should probably get one.

(DOORBELL BUZZES)

- SABINE: Hey. - Hey.

You keep the aspirin behind the counter, right?

- Yup. - Gimme.

I feel fifty shades of crap.

Mm, get away from me, you outbreak monkey.

You can't catch a period.

That sucks.

Yeah, it's like a monster truck's doing doughnuts in my uterus.

- That's normal? - Yeah.

I'm just glad it didn't strike at school.

One time I was at Dane's place and it was just so bad.

I was lying in the foetal position

making noises like a cow stuck in a fence.

He snuck off in his mum's car to the late-night pharmacy.

Bought me a hot-water bottle

and those weird sugar-free lollies that taste like butt.

Dane did a terrible thing, but he's not a terrible guy.

I'll never be friends with him again.

But if you want to be, that's cool.

Hey, so... are we cool, then?

Yeah. We're cool.

Cool.

HAZEL: Once it's dry, you won't see any stain.

And even if you do, nothing a nice scarf can't fix.

No, Patch, it's not for you.

No, it's not a toy.

Mum, can you...

(BABY SQUEALS)

(LAUGHS)

Careful.

It's not hot. (LAUGHS)

- (BABY LAUGHS) - (LAUGHS) Do you like that, bubba?

(ALL LAUGH)

Is that very funny?

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

CHRIS: Take those home for the kids.

Thanks, mate, but no, not before bed.

They'll be using me as a trampoline.

(LAUGHS) Bet they love having you home.

Oh, they do. Yeah, um...

Renee on the other hand, she... she tolerates it.

- So you two aren't... - Oh, God, no.

No, no, I'm on the couch,

staring at the patch of mould on the ceiling I can't afford to fix.

You will.

Every bet you don't make is money in the bank.

It's just... It's hard not to obsess how it all went wrong.

You can't escape it, can you, the ones you let down?

I reckon you're ready for Step 9...

... making amends.

Oh, come on. I borrow 100K to renovate the house.

I... I pissed 70 up against a wall.

How am I supposed to make amends for that?

You might never. All you have to do is try.

Yes, that is a beautiful street. Top of a hill, great views.

I'll send you all of the listings in the vicinity.

You're very welcome. Thank you.

Interest in Arcadia Heights?

Yeah, must be the redevelopment news.

Yeah, that area's about to go off

and everyone will want a piece of it.

Don't you live around there?

Near the Towers.

So tell all of the agents to hit me up for my local intel.

Thanks, Renee.

Shame they'll be the ones getting the commission though.

LEONIE: Alright, Dad's going to be here soon.

Go and finish that homework while you wait.

Double-shot soy latte?

Wow. Yes, please. You remembered my order?

- Yeah, it was tough. - Really?

Yeah, I had to use a mnemonic device.

And even then it was touch and go there for a second.

Okay, I'm being mocked.

(CHUCKLES) Relax, Leonie.

I pay attention to you. It's no big deal.

Who was that woman you were talking to yesterday?

She looked familiar.

Ah. Daniella Roy. Juliana Worsfield's deputy.

Oh, I must have seen her on TV or something.

What was she doing here?

Just a meet-and-greet as a Worsfield representative.

Wanted to know how the centre's going.

As if Worsfield cares.

If she had it her way, she'd knock us down

and build a car park here instead.

Thanks.

SHANNON: Location. 56B. Police History Record.

Oh, hey.

Just trying to memorise the forms.

This is for your 9am.

And I've just left some documents on your desk for signing.

Thank you, Shannon.

Today's a new day, right?

UNCLE MAX: Come on, get your feet up.

Higher.

Faster.

Right, that's enough.

Stretch out those arms now.

No short cuts.

You gotta go harder.

Your mum needs to go harder.

Yeah, well, my mum is your mum and that's disgusting.

And kinda disrespectful.

Whoa. You're so fancy.

Dad, are you going on a date?

No.

Job interview. Now pack your stuff up or we'll both be late.

What interview?

Security.

Really? You?

Gotta pay the bills.

Want a lift?

Nope.

Fair enough.

Isn't exercise supposed to make you feel good?

Isn't that what 'endolphins' are for?

Endorphins.

Come on, let's get going.

- See you, Max. - See you.

And, Pav?

Don't worry.

He'll get there.

Thanks.

- See you, Uncle Max. - See you.

Hey. I started the splashback.

- I can see that. - Yeah, now don't panic.

The tiles were free from a job I did with Karen.

Oh, she's good value.

Yeah. Now, I know they're not the fancy Italian ones you wanted,

but I reckon they look alright.

Don't... Don't you think, Franks?

I guess.

- Whatever. - Thanks for your backup.

Well, I like them.

I mean, I would have gone with a more off-white myself, but, um...

- no, they look good. - Yeah.

Hey, so I've got some news.

I've decided to study for my real-estate licence.

That's great. I remember your boss

saying you should go down that path.

Yeah, I thought I'd get the ball rolling

so that if this redevelopment goes ahead, I'll be qualified and ready.

That's a good idea.

Work's going to support me to do the course around my shifts.

And at nights and stuff.

I'll support you too, however I can.

- Another thing. - Mm?

If prices around here skyrocket,

we would be idiots not to make the most of it.

You want to sell the house?

We'll do it up first as best we can to get top dollar

and then cover our debts and split the rest.

Wow. You've worked it all out.

Then it'll be over.

We can finally go our separate ways.

Yeah, no. It's... It's a good idea.

(QUIETLY) Jesus.

- Have you thought this through? - Yeah, I have, yeah.

This is a real chance to make everything right.

Every time we do anything even slightly couply, you freak out.

No, I don't.

Don't worry, I got it.

Can I check in your bag please?

I don't have to do anything for you, bro.

- Just let me... - Hey! Back off, man!

- Just let me do my job. - I'll report you.
