ANNOUNCER: Previously on The Heights...

Can you confirm that you intend

to sell off a bunch of public land in Arcadia?

Well, we're always looking for ways to reinvest in our community.

If you're selling the Towers out from under us,

then we deserve to know!

You really need to rest up

and avoid other people as much as possible.

IRIS: Well, this is your problem, Sully,

you never go out there to make things happen.

How could you get better at your next prac if you don't get practice?

Hence why you need to use my centre as a classroom.

Uh... Hopefully.

Look, even if I do owe them the money, I don't have it.

BIG MIKE: Someone's got to pay her debt back.

I'd really like to see where this goes.

I don't want to date someone that's just visiting.

Hey, are you cool to lock up tonight?

Yeah, totally fine. I love locking up.

You know what they say about locking up?

What do they say?

Better to lock up than lock down.

- So I'm going to... - Yeah. Okay. Bye.

(QUIETLY) What is wrong with me?

(CLATTER IN OTHER ROOM)

Forget something?

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey! Mike!

- 'Sup? - What's going on?!

Nothing. Just got some chicken nuggets. You want some?

(SIREN WAILS)

Are those sirens for you?

I dunno.

- Did you pay for these nuggets? - Yeah.

What? I did. Even ask the chick at the drive-thru.

You can't drive.

So?

So how did you go through the drive-thru?

On a ride-on lawnmower.

You stole a ride-on lawnmower?

Borrowed. I was taking it back when the pigs saw me.

- Mate. - CONSTABLE WOOD: Police!

You'll tell 'em, right?

- 'Sup, Woody? - Mike.

Let's go.

Didn't know you were back from Bali.

Hey! What are you doing here?

Uncle Max and I are having a little pre-game strategy chat.

About what?

The meeting with the residents this morning.

About the Tower redevelopment,

how the only way to stop it is to vote for Reza and not Juliana.

Uh... Well, now that you've given me a rundown,

I don't really need to go.

It's super important. Election day's looming.

We need to spread the message while we still have time.

Yeah, it's been a really quiet week,

I should really get out there on the road.

I'm free later if you need help with anything else.

I'll find a use for you, don't worry.

UNCLE MAX: Helena and I will speak first.

What am I supposed to do?

Just stand there and look pretty, or at least interested.

But I'm not... interested, I mean.

And then I'll get you to hand these out.

- Come in! - (DOOR OPENS)

- Hey! - Hello!

- Hey, I'm Helena. - Mich.

Yeah, he's my wingman.

He's gonna help me take the fight to the people.

And we need all the help we can get.

Ash Jafari didn't even know about the meeting.

Is he blind? The posters have been up there for weeks.

Yeah, I should know. I put them up.

I thought wingmen had better attitudes.

- Ooh, boon. - (CHUCKLES)

Ash is just one fella.

- Plenty of others will turn up. - Yep.

It's their home on the line.

(ENGINE STARTS)

(BELL DINGS)

- (CHATTER) - (LAILA SIGHS)

Man, I don't get the point of poetry.

- Do you listen to music? - Yes, I do.

Well, music is poetry.

Heard Baby Shark? I don't think so.

- Sorry. - C'mon, girls!

I know it's fun, but can we stop with the hula hoops, please?

Shirin, don't you have a poem to write too?

I am the poetry.

Well, okay. Well, can you write that down?

I can't. There's only one computer and Laila's using it.

- Well, I just finished. - Great.

Laila, save your work. Shirin, jump on.

Sully, can you print this for me, please?

Girls, come on. I can help you out, but if you want to be here...

Sully!

(GIRLS LAUGH)

I'll go see for you.

- (PUPPY YAPS ON PHONE) - (GIRLS LAUGH)

Hey.

Hey. How's Homework Club going?

They're... feral.

Anyways, would I be able to print off an assignment for one of them?

I would say yes, but the printer shat itself the other day.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah. I'm worried the PC might do the same.

It's been making this weird, whiny noise.

Oh, yeah, like it's begging to go to the electronic graveyard.

It could go to a museum.

Yeah, we just don't have the funds to replace it.

Can barely afford to fix the printers.

But there's all this new sports equipment.

Yeah, well, they were donated.

Anything you see here that's half-way decent

was donated or fundraised for.

A Juliana Worsfield re-election would be a disaster for the Towers.

So, please, when you go to the polls next Saturday,

make sure you vote 1 for Reza.

Better turn-out at a crime scene.

We can't make people come to these things.

The election is one week away.

Yeah, I know. Our last polling had it neck and neck.

It's honestly anybody's.

Alright, I've done what you asked. Can I go home now?

This is the problem, cynical, disengaged youth.

Our youth vote is actually pretty strong.

It's the fence-sitters we need.

Well, if the lazy sods won't come to us...

we'll go to them. Come on.

- Hello? - SULLY: Just a sec.

You're out of tofu rice-paper rolls.

Yeah, I could probably make you some.

- Just give me a sec. - Cool.

Alright.

Uh... Could you wash the mouse poo off your hands first?

Where's the paper tray?

What's with this crappy printer anyway?

I need it for my Homework Club. And a computer.

Ooh, exxy.

Actually, how'd you raise money for Audrey's funeral?

The bingo night. You were there.

We charged an entry, did a raffle.

- How much did you make? - Just over a grand.

I reckon I need two.

Well, if you need help convincing Watto to don his dress...

Yeah, I was thinking something with less bingo balls.

A trivia night? Tonight?

Sully's a smart guy. He can pull it off.

So what do you say?

Big events annoy the locals. They're noisy. Fights break out.

No-one's coming to blows at trivia.

They have and they will.

It's for a good cause. Don't you want to help the kids?

Not really.

Come on, Hazel. Have a heart.

If anything bad happens, it's on you, Sully.

Okay, let's talk details.

Um... I'm thinking we start at 7ish.

- Yep. - Okay.

And I reckon we're going to need a PA so people can hear you properly.

- Me? - Yeah, you can host, right?

- Uh... No. I've got work tonight. - I just assumed you'd host.

To assume makes an arse of you and me.

Actually, just you.

Ryan, could you be trivia host?

You'd be great. You're really charismatic.

I know, mate, but I have to man the bar.

Well, looks like you're up.

Yeah.

(CLICKS TONGUE)

- (CLEARS THROAT) - Hey...

- No need to freak out. - Oh, well...

You taught high-school kids.

Managing a room full of trivia nerds will be a way easier gig.

Okay?

(RINGS DOORBELL)

(KNOCKS)

(KNOCKS)

- CHILD: Mum, they're not going. - WOMAN: Shh.

(CHUCKLES) They can probably hear you.

We're leaving now.

CHILD: Bye!

Have a good day.

(DOOR SHUTS)

(DOOR SHUTS)

(DOOR SHUTS)

(DOORS SHUT)

(KNOCKS)

Hey, brothers. What's good?

Hey. We're from the Towers.

We just wanted to talk about the election.

I'm gonna have to stop you right there, man.

See, the thing is, no-one in this house actually votes.

We're non-violent anarchists.

Non... Non-violent anarchists?

Stay right here, I'll go get a pamphlet.

Come in if you want, boys!

LEONIE: So they've imposed a 7:00 to 7:00 curfew.

BIG MIKE: Could use an early night.

And no going within 100m of the golf club.

What a dumb sport.

Or Mother Cluckers.

I liked pizza better anyways.

I don't get it.

You said you wanted to help your mum with the robo-debt.

So?

But then you go and find trouble like this.

Mate, you've got to start using your head.

I couldn't. I was 'hangry'.

Yeah, I don't think that defence will fly with the judge.

You could end up doing time.

I can handle it. I just need to be out by the 15th.

It's not a hotel.

You gotta do something. I can't be in there for that long.

Well, you should have thought about that

before stealing a ride-on lawnmower.

Borrowed.

I'll talk to the charging officer, see what I can do.

Come on.

SULLY: Um...

Yeah, good evening, ladies and germs,

boys and gorillas.

How are we all doing tonight?

Good.

Uh... Good to hear.

My name is Sully and I'll be your host with the most.

The most what?

I don't know. Isn't that just what people say?

- No? - Yeah.

- Yeah? - Whatever, yeah.

How about this?

What sea creature has three hearts?

I don't know.

Our sworn enemy.

The octopus!

Yeah, she's right.

What sort of animal needs three hearts?

I don't really think they have a say in their anatomy.

- What you doing? - None of your business.

He's, uh... writing up questions for a trivia night I'm hosting.

You're going to host trivia?

Yeah.

You're going to suck. No offence.

I'm actually doing it to raise money for the Homework Club.

To buy us a new computer and printer.

Did I say 'suck'? I meant you're gonna be a success.

Yes, we'll see about that.

There are other ways to raise money, you know?

What about a chocolate drive?

You think I'm going to suck too?

Well, you said it yourself, you're not comfortable with big groups.

Yeah, and you said to work on it!

Why do you think I'm forcing myself to do all this?

So rude to your mother.

Alright. (CLEARS THROAT) Let's just keep going.

MICH: If there's one thing I learned about today

is that people don't like opening their doors to a couple of...

What?

... really handsome strangers.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

You alright, Uncle?

Yeah. Just a little short of breath, that's all.

Come on.

(DOG BARKS)

Oh, hey. What are you guys doing here?

Just spreading the word about Reza's cam...

- Oddjob! - Crap, sorry.

It's okay. He does this sometimes. He'll be headed for the park.

Help me get him?

Fetu!

- Leonie. - (BOTH CHUCKLE)

I was wondering when I might see you.

Pav told you about my new practice then?

Said it's going really well. So you're here about a client?

Uh-huh, and you are just the man I need to speak to.

I'm representing Michael Hannich.

He's a pain in the arse, but he's not a bad kid.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to help him.

I recall you like spring rolls.

This isn't like corporate law. Me and you can't just cut a deal.

(SIGHS) Just joking. We can make deals.

(LAUGHS) But not for Mike.

Why?

- Because he's got priors. - Not that many.

He's into double figures.

I'm sorry, Leonie, but I can't drop the charges.

It's already in front of the prosecutor.

You could talk to them, get them to take it easy.

Are you... Are you flirting with me now?

Definitely not.

But out of interest, would that work?

(CHUCKLES) Come on.

MICH: Oddjob!

What were you guys doing at my place again?

Door-knocking for Reza's campaign.

Oh. That's an outdated mode of marketing.

Starting to realise that.

I'm learning all about it in my real-estate course.

Are you selling houses?

Not yet, but I will be.

You know, Juliana Worsfield wants to sell my house.

Turf us mob out of the Towers.

I'm aware of her party's plans.

You're a rare breed. Not many do.

That's why we're handing these out.

They explain what's going on.

Do you reckon? That font's too small for a start.

My eyes are buggered and I can still read it.

- And that's too much information. - It's a big issue.

Yeah, but people are time-poor.

They've got the attention span of goldfish.

They're not gonna read this.

Well, how the bloody hell are we supposed to raise awareness?

Kiss them.

- What? - 'Keep it simple, stupid'.

You need one simple message that people can remember.

The campaign already has a slogan.

Yeah, but the Towers don't,

so you need something that's specific to them.

And you want to make it noisy. You know, cheeky, funny.

That way it'll stick in people's minds.

- MICH: Found him! - Oddjob, you naughty boy.

Come here! Come here! Good boy!

Hey, thank you.

- BIG MIKE: How long am I looking at? - Four weeks.

Maybe more.

No chance of cutting it back,

even a little bit?

I need to get out by the 15th.

What's so important about the 15th?

Mike?

Dad gets out of jail then.

He drinks a bit.

Okay. I'm going to try the prosecutor again.

If I paint the whole picture, he might change his mind.

But stay here and stay out of trouble.

UNCLE MAX: There you are.

You went door-knocking?

(SIGHS) Jesus Christ, woman. Have you got a tracker on me?

No, but maybe I should

if you're going to keep doing these foolish things.

Ah, here we go.

Your immune system's weak.

Doc told you to take it easy,

and you're out pounding the pavement.

I can't stay at home all day!

That's exactly what you can do.

You push yourself too hard, you'll end up feeling worse.

I was feeling better before I come in here.

- Shoot me for caring. - I care about the Towers!

I need to let people know they're under threat!

What, you're gonna be stroppy now?

Nope.

I'm sorry I raised my voice.

I'm not.

You know what we normally do after we fight.

Doc said you can't do that either.

Is there any rule you plan on keeping?

(SIGHS) What's the point?

Hey.

We don't give up, remember? Hard as bloody nails.

Hey, hey, thanks for helping out with the questions, man.

KAM: No worries. You all set?

I am off.

Sully, no. It's 3:54.

So? I just want to get there to set up early.

Just wait a minute. Four is an unlucky number.

And you need all the luck you can get.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Mum.

Mm.

(SIGHS) Yeah?

Now you can go.

Hello, again, Iris.

Ernie Brown.

I gave you the potted kumquat.

What do you want?

I've, um...

stumbled across a business opportunity,

and I think you're the only one that can help me.

I'm listening.

You're looking at a goldmine.

There's gold buried in there?

I'm speaking metaphorically.

But if Juliana Worsfield gets in,

this here will be the site office for the redevelopment.

Site office?

Hundreds of construction workers will be stopping by every day.

And you know what hardworking lads get?

- Dirty. - (CHUCKLES) Yes.

But also hungry.

- Hungry men want food. - Exactly.

And what this place needs is a food van.

I have the seed capital and I can get a licence,

but I don't know anything about cooking.

And you think we can run a truck together?

Your store, Dong Huong, has brand recognition. You're trusted.

But I've never needed a partner before.

That's because you're such a savvy businesswoman.

In fact, the only reason I'm proposing this is out of respect.

The closest food outlet to here is already yours.

I couldn't just waltz on in and steal your customers.

We need to talk details.

Of course!

Perhaps over a drink?

You right in here?

Don't worry. I'm not going to steal anything this time.

What'd you steal last time?

Leonie didn't tell you?

Tell me what?

Brought it back anyway.

- You nicked the sports equipment? - Catch up, will ya?

Well, I'm confused. Why'd you bring it back?

Leonie gave me a serve.

She can be full-on.

But she helped my mum, so I did her a solid.

No luck?

Sorry, mate.

Least I get to catch up with my mates in juvie.

Probably get my old room back.

Court's Monday.

So soon?

Juvenile cases are expedited.

I'm going to send a few emails and then I'll get you home, okay?

Consolation nuggets?

Thanks, but I'm not hungry.

(CHATTER AND MUSIC)

Sully? Mate, it was meant to start 10 minutes ago.

Do you need a shot of liquid courage?

- Nah, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good. - Well, get up there then.

(CLEARS THROAT) Uh... Good ev...

Good evening, everyone.

Uh... I think we might get started.

Can't hear you, Salty!

Uh... Good evening, everyone.

Uh... We might get started, if that's okay?

Oi! (WHISTLES LOUDLY)

Let's do this!

Um... Firstly, thanks for coming down.

Open your mouth a little bit wider!

- (LAUGHTER) - Yeah. (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

And, um... let's make some noise

if we're ready for, uh... we're ready for trivia.

Are you ready for trivia?

- Whoo! - (SCATTERED APPLAUSE)

Let's raise some money for the kids.

LEONIE: Here we go.

I'll pick you up for court 8:00AM Monday.

Wear your best outfit and tuck in your mullet.

What time am I picking you up?

Monday, 8:00AM. Won't be late.

- Mike? - What?

I know you won't be here when your dad gets out, but I will.

I'll check in with Mum every few days, make sure she's alright.

- Really? - Yeah, course.

Thanks, L-Dog.

- Don't call me that. - What? It suits you.

Uh... Okay, next question. Uh... What is the name of...

Come on, man! We can't hear you!

Sorry. What's the proper name for the funny bone?

I've got a funny bone in my pants!

Shut up, Benny.

Um...

Um... Yeah, and that's it for this round.

We'll take a 10-minute intermission while I score your cards.

What are you doing here?

- Business meeting. - With who?

- Japanese Slipper for the lady. - Thanks.

Of all the places you could've gone and you come here.

I'm your mother. Of course I came.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Welfare check.

I'm okay.

Says the lady with the empty bag of Burger Hoops on her desk.

- Hey, this is dinner. - I'm not shaming you.

I just can't believe you haven't offered me any.

I've had a good run so far with my clients.

I was due for a loss.

I just wish it wasn't this one.

All any kid needs is one person to care about them.

Sometimes you can't win,

but it just matters that you were there in the first place.

I know. Thanks.

Well...

This might ease the pain.

I just ran out. How did you...

You didn't have to get me this.

And you didn't have to get my sports equipment back.

Crack it open?

Me and you and a bottle of whisky?

Maybe another night.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Bye.

UNCLE MAX: Keep the Towers erect!

HAZEL: What's all this?

RYAN: Oh, great shirts!

It was Uncle Max's idea.

- And Reza OK'd it? - Uh-huh.

He seems such a serious bloke on telly.

He's actually got a cracked sense of humour.

Which is why he loves this part!

- RYAN: (LAUGHS) Wow. - Oh, no. (LAUGHS)

Keep it simple, stupid.

With enough support, we might just save our homes.

Go hand them out.

Free T-shirts to save the Towers!

What's this about?

We're a bunch of concerned citizens from the Towers.

Juliana Worsfield wants to knock it down and make us homeless.

A vote for Reza Fattah is a vote to save our community.

Vote for Reza.

SULLY: Okay, time for round four. I've got the scores back and...

Yeah, for the last time, Sulky,

nobody can hear the words that are coming out of your mouth.

Yeah. okay, we're going to take a short break.

Go home.

I haven't finished my Japanese Slipper.

- Are you trying to throw me off? - Throw you off where?

- You are already at the bottom. - And do you know why?

Because you're always on top of me, interfering, criticising, judging.

For once, can you show some support?

This is important to me.

If you listened to me, you wouldn't be in this mess.

You're unbelievable.

I said I've got the scores back,

and would you believe, this guy is coming last.

- I knew it. I knew it. - The loud, annoying guy.

- (LAUGHTER) - Okay.

Here's a little bonus round.

When did the Neanderthals die out?

And don't be confused by this knuckle dragger

who clearly hasn't evolved yet.

(LAUGHTER)

Okay, round four. Question one.

Which film took out Best Picture in the 2017 Oscars?

- Hey, how'd the fundraiser go? - Really good, actually.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

- Did you meet your goal or what? - Nearly.

Only 150 bucks short.

- That's awesome, man. - Yeah.

Alright, Iris, I'm done. Catch ya later.

See you later, man.

Sully.

Mum.

Thank you.

But I want a receipt.

Synced & corrected by QueenMaddie www.addic7ed.com

Okay, so you know this weird bit you two are doing?

I'm cancelling it.

Speak. Use your words.

I said $700.

Yeah, you also said it wasn't damaged.

- Kam, Mum. - Mrs Worsfield.

Oh, can we have a photo?

Okay, smile.

This is what it looks like when a boyfriend comes to the rescue.

Hi, Rose. I just...

When were you meant to meet up?
