Good evening, one and all.

It´s morning, Uncle Terry.

I´m opening
a fine-dining experience.

Kai Nui will bring people,
wealth, and opportunity to Weld,

-and I want you to get on board.
-I´m not here to cause trouble.

You never are, but that doesn´t
stop the inevitable, does it?

-I´m on the warpath.
-What´s he done now?

-FIONA: He´s poached Hannah.
-Yes!

SHAY: Long story short... We´re
doing the grunt work for him.

Yeah, but isn´t that also fraud?

So we´re over, then?

Over some stupid paintings?

I want kids.

Do you want to have kids
with me?

Is this us?
Are we...

TERRY: We had a labor shortage,
and we solved the problem.

I don´t want Arlo
turning into you.

Your son will not be harmed
in the making of this triumph.

I hope you´re happy now that
you´ve got everyone´s hopes up

before you abandon them.

[ Up-tempo music plays ]

GEORGE:
It doesn´t happen all at once.

So it´s only over time
you start to realize,

to see things...

-George.
-Tom.

Apparently,
if you can afford to eat

at our flash new restaurant, you
can also park wherever you like.

[ Chuckles ]
Apparently.

Oh, you wouldn´t mind taking
a quick pic, would you?

A bunch of things
you never noticed before

that, when you put them
together,

change the very nature
of where you call home.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

♫ Oh, oh ♫

♫ My soul, it came home ♫

♫ With tales of a way
that I´ll escape ♫

All of which leads
to the question...

What are you meant to do
when you realize

the place you live,
the town you love...

you actually don´t love it
as much as you used to?

[ Engine starts ]

Hi.
I just...

JAN: Hi. You´ve called Jan.
Please leave me a message.

Hi. Look.
This might sound odd.

But was that you in Weld
in Big Mac´s car?

I was out jogging,
and I think I saw you.

Uh, it could be lack of oxygen.
Either that or I´m going mad.

But anyway...call me.

Hey. How was your run?
Shall I call a doctor?

Very funny.

What´s up with the great work
on the Super Store wall?

You ever gonna finish it?

Talk to Ike.
Nothing to do with me, okay?

Loud and clear.

Arlo emerge yet?

You mean you didn´t hear him
come home last night?

No.
Why?

It was just after 2:00.

But the agreement was not after
midnight on a school night.

Oh, no.

Teenager ignores
parental command.

Alert the media.

No. Wait.
In this town, that´s you.

Come on, Arlo.
School.

-Breakfast. School.
-ARLO: Dad, get out.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

Hi, Mr. T.

-Lindsay.
-Busted.

Okay. Yes, Dad.
Lindsay.

But no, not busted,
because nothing happened.

She just crashed after work,
and that´s all.

Right.
That old one.

It went super late
at the restaurant,

and your place is closer,
so it was a no-brainer, really.

-Mm-hmm.
-Shay, not helping.

No.
Not helping at all.

Does your father know
you´re here?

-I can text him if you want.
-If you would be so kind.

It was a really great night
at the restaurant.

Be that as it may,
you still have school.

Is it a school day?

Yes, Lindsay, school being
a Monday-to-Friday thing.

It doesn´t matter.
We have food tech first.

And the others were still there
when we left,

-so they´ll be super late.
-We leave in 10.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Thanks, Mr. T.
You´re amazing.

Yeah.
Thanks, Dad.

Have a good day, love.

-Bill.
-Hey, George.

Very kind of you
to bring Lindsay her bag.

She got lucky.

I´m only here ´cause the gym
dunnies are backed up... again.

You should write about that
in your paper.

I´ll keep it in mind.

Oh. Does this mean
she´s moved back in with you?

No. No.
No. That was a one-off.

Oh.

I quite like it just being me
and the boy.

Much quieter around the house,

him in his room,
doing...boy things.

No.
Well, that won´t happen again.

Oh.
Never mind.

Uh, Bill,
are you at all concerned

how late these kids are working
on a school night?

No.
Why would I be?

Well, it might affect
their schoolwork. That´s all.

Turner,
this is my kids´ schoolwork.

Jared´s found something
he can actually do,

and Lindsay´s been raking it in
in tips, so she´s well happy.

In fact, you´re the only one
who isn´t as far I can tell.

Happy, that is.

I just want my boy to have
a good education.

What, by studying the novels
of Wordsworth?

[ Chuckles ]

Good one, Turner.
I´ll catch you around.

I´m worried.
That´s all.

I get that, George.

-And you have been for a while.
-That was about my brother.

This is about my son and
the other kids that work there.

I mean, Arlo came home
at I have no idea what time

on a school night.

-Yes, which is not ideal.
-No, it´s not.

Which is why we´re looking at
rescheduling the classes

for those at the restaurant
so they start later in the day.

You´d rather change what happens
here than what goes on there?

For this group of students, yes.

The numpties.

I´m sorry if that´s
an offensive term.

Oh, no.
Not anymore.

To be a numpty is very cool now
at Weld District High.

You can´t seriously think what´s
going on here is good, can you?

Let me clue you in, George.

Do you know
how many Gateway students

were absent this morning?

-Quite a few, I presume.
-Not one.

We´ve had
perfect numpty attendance

since the partnership launch.

I mean, they arrive late,

but they are,
for once in their lives,

proud to be at school.

Meanwhile, we´re front page

of the ministry´s
regional newsletter.

Stafford High... the girls´ one
and the boys´ one...

Are sending staff
to see the program in action.

And there´s even talk
we might end up on the TV news.

Yeah.
I can see how it´s good for PR.

For a school like ours,
absolutely.

In fact, the only media
not lining up to do a story

is the one you´re editor of.

-That´s not the point.
-It´s okay, George.

I get that there´s negative
feelings with your brother,

especially after he punched you
at the opening.

That´s also not the point...
And not unusual for him.

Well, then why not show us
some love

and write about these kids
I´m so proud of?

One of whom happens to be
your son.

Oh, I am acutely aware of that.

Numpties rule, George.

-SHAY: Hey.
-Hey.

So we have a problem?

We do.

Is this a Rae problem?

No.
I haven´t heard from her.

-Maybe she was drunk.
-Sorry?

There was heaps of champagne
at the opening.

-Maybe she´s forgotten.
-Buying a $25,000 painting?

It could happen.

So if this isn´t
a Rae problem...

Yet.

Then what is the problem?

Check out what was deposited
into my bank account last night.

-Whoa.
-It´s from Denis.

Our share of the proceeds
from the Vienna show.

Denis is clearly going off
in Austria.

Clearly.

And how is this a problem
for us?

Maybe it isn´t for you,
but it is for me.

Oh, Katie,
don´t go down this road.

This was meant to be
about helping out a friend...

Which we so did.

Not about making a fortune
selling bogus works of art.

Getting paid for it doesn´t
necessarily make it bogus.

And if everyone
who bought a painting

is happy with their painting,
then why should we miss out?

Earning a fortune
selling Denis knock-offs.

I feel dirty.

Which is why I´m...
I´m giving my half back.

The other half is yours.

You can do what you like
with it.

TOM:
Which one?

I don´t want to seem too happy
in my work.

That one.

Look, George.

We´re talking Weld
when it´s normally dead,

when any sort of business
is gold for a town like ours.

Not to mention the training
opportunities for those kids.

Things like this just
don´t happen around here.

Yeah, I know.

So someone from this paper
needs to write the story

of the triumph of the numpties.

And if you don´t want to do it,
I will.

Yeah. Look.
I know what you mean.

But...this morning,
I´m out running,

and you´re towing the sort of
car you don´t usually see here.

And loving it, just quietly.

I run past the restaurant

and I see Terry stumbling out,
clearly off his nut,

having pulled an all-nighter
with Hannah and Robbie.

-And I think to myself...
-Robbie McNamara?

Yes.
Getting into the car.

Meanwhile, I´m thinking,
"Is this us?

Is this Weld?"

-People staying up all night?
-No.

Well, yes, in terms
of how they´re doing it,

fueled by God knows what,
knowing my brother.

What time was this exactly?

Just after I saw you.

Right.
If you´ll excuse me.

It was an image,

part of a bigger picture about
what my brother´s restaurant

is doing to this town.

A moral malaise.

Yes, Gloria.

Something like that.

GEORGE: Of course,
when it comes these matters,

the problem is there´s
nothing tangible to go on.

Everything looks much the same,
but there is,

for want of a much,
much better word,

something different
about the vibe.

And if you start talking
about the vibe...

people look at you
like you´re mad.

-Tom.
-Big Mac.

What can I do for you?

I need a word with Robbie.

This is bollocks, man.

Not at all, Mr. McNamara.

Just making sure we´re all
on the same page

when it comes to
our parole conditions.

Especially the part
about you being clean and sober.

Is it even legal to breathalyze
a man in his own home?

Yes, it is.

It´s not even lunchtime.

What makes you think he´d be
drunk at this time of the day?

Let´s just say
there was a sighting

where there seemed
to be alcohol involved.

Turner.

I´m... I´m not at liberty
to divulge m-my source.

You don´t have to. Go on, then.
Hand over your bloody machine.

You need to blow until it beeps.

I know, mate.
I´ve done it before.

I´m sure you have.

WOMAN:
Bill?

You never saw me.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Beeping ]

See?

As the sober one,
I was the designated driver.

Something you should be
applauding, not persecuting.

In case there´s other loopholes
you want to try and do me on,

I was at my place of work
all night,

and then I did my civic duty

by driving home those
who were incapable of driving,

after which I returned to my
appointed place of residence,

as per my parole conditions.

Are we done?

So you were at the restaurant
all night, were you?

BIG MAC: My son has been making
the most of his second chance

and doing great things
for this town,

and this suspicion
is the way you repay him?

ROBBIE: It´s all right, Dad.
I´ve got this.

It was a huge night, and we
didn´t wrap till around 2-ish.

And then there were
the celebrations.

Celebrations of what?

The great news, of course.
Haven´t you heard?

You look terrible, by the way.

I haven´t actually been to bed
yet.

Well, I have,
but I haven´t been to sleep.

I don´t need to know.
You want some lunch?

Mm, no.
I couldn´t face food right now.

But I wanted you to be
the first to know...

Well, the first one
who wasn´t there at the time.

Know what?

That you have a wire cork cage
stuck to your finger?

It´s called a muselet.

Oh, that´s right.

You work in a classy restaurant
now.

It´s my engagement ring.

-Wow.
-Yeah. Wow.

And this was given to you by?

Some random fat rich guy
I met last night.

By Terry.
Who do you think?

-Wow.
-You said that.

He couldn´t run
to an actual ring?

I think it´s kind of romantic,
a one-off.

It was...
kind of a spontaneous thing.

-Do it! Do it!
-Do it! Do it!

-Do it! Do it!
-Do it! Do it!

You seriously think
that I´m not gonna do it?

I don´t think
you´ve got the guts.

All right, then.

Will you, the lovely Hannah,
the sexiest woman in Weld,

make me, the...
sexiest man in my family,

the happiest man alive

if I promise to make you
the happiest woman alive?

No.

You have to say
the actual words.

Hannah...will you marry me?

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Yes, Terry, I will.

[ Crowd cheering ]

That is actually quite romantic.

That´s what I thought.

And now, given that
you´re relatively sober?

I still do.

So?

Do I get a hug or not?

GEORGE: The worst bit
is knowing something is wrong

and then seeing it affect
the ones you care about

and feeling like you can´t do
a damn thing to stop it.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Unfortunately,
the photographer had gone

before he could get a shot
of you with your bloody nose.

Ooh, and with
your Scottish heritage...

Is it "numpty" with a "Y"
or "numptie" with an "I-E"?

Y singular, I-E plural.

Oh.

Well, that was interesting.

What was, petal?

Just been up
to the McNamara place.

I´ve asked you not to call me
petal when I´m in uniform.

Sorry...my love god.

It was...

It was interesting
on three fronts.

First, George, Robbie McNamara
may be under the impression

-that you dobbed him in.
-Well, how...

Second, they were
at the restaurant all night

because they were celebrating
the engagement.

The Hannah engagement to...

-Terry.
-That was quick.

-Not by Terry´s standards.
-Seriously?

He has form.

What was the third thing?

You don´t want to spend more
time digesting the second thing?

I´ll deal with that later.

There was a guest
at the McNamara place.

-It...
-Jan?

Are you psychic or something?

I saw her in his car when I was
out running this morning.

-You had an eventful run.
-She say why she was here?

No. In fact, she seemed keen
that no one know she was here.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

WOODY: What happened
to the woman I know who said

that she would rather have her
legs ripped off by a tiger shark

than get married?

HANNAH:
Okay. Yeah. I did say that.

WOODY:
Yeah, and what about the woman

who said that waves
are like men...

You got to ride
as many as you can

´cause there´s no such thing
as a perfect wave,

just like there´s no such thing
as a perfect man?

Okay.
I get the point, Woody.

-Hey, I´m just asking.
-Okay. Shut it, Woody.

She met a guy she really likes.
That´s all.

That´s all I need to hear.

And in that case,
happy bloody engagement!

-HANNAH: [ Screams, laughs ]
-WOODY: Whoo-hoo!

Geez.

See, first they turn up
in their flash off-road vehicles

that have never been off road
in their lives

and now this?

I mean, what´s next?

Probably hovercrafts.

-Oh, he´s coming to us.
-Uh, excuse me.

G´day.

Is this Weld?

No.

[ Sighs ]
The pilot said it was.

No.
This is Parata Bay, mate.

Weld is the town near Parata Bay
but not actually at Parata Bay.

So it´s near here?

Yeah.
Five minutes that way.

Well, less by helicopter,
but yours has taken off.

Uh, I need to get to Weld.

Well, you´re in
the general vicinity.

That won´t work here, mate.

Not unless it´s
one of those freakish days

-in which, you know, it does.
-Yeah.

Yeah. You have to get to Weld.
Better reception there.

-Well...sometimes.
-Sometimes.

Um, I´m looking for someone.

Oh, yeah?
Who?

Her name´s Jan.

Oh!
There´s no Jan here.

No. There used to be,
but she´s back in Sydney now.

Oh, that´s her.

-Magazine Jan?
-Yes!

Mate, you need to look
in Sydney.

No. No. No.
She´s here.

She booked a ticket
to New Zealand.

-I followed her.
-In the helicopter?

No.
No.

I chartered the chopper
in Auckland to fly to Weld,

which is where she said
she was going.

So Jan´s back, eh?

-She´s a nice lady, Jan.
-Yeah.

Yeah.

Why did you follow her
in a helicopter?

Well, be...

Because I love her.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Okay.

That was slightly unusual.

Enh.

So, father of the bride, huh?

Yeah. Never thought I´d see
that day roll around.

I´m sorry you had to hear it
from me.

She probably reckoned
I´d find out anyhow.

Like father, like daughter.

You and George will be related
by marriage.

Is it too early for a drink?

G´day.

Is Weld one of those towns where
everyone knows everyone else?

You could say that.

I´m looking for a woman
called Jan.

Oh, Jan doesn´t live here
anymore.

The only Jan we know
lives in Sydney.

Yeah. That´s her.
That´s her.

Um, Australian woman,
very pregnant with my twins.

-Your twins?
-Yeah.

Do you know
where I can find her?

I think you´ll find
they´re my twins, mate.

And she´s in Sydney.

-Your twins?
-Yeah.

Are you Steve?

Yeah.
And you´re obviously not George.

You must be this Zac fella.

Table for two.
Thanks, Fiona.

Just anywhere you like.
Thanks, Tom.

ZAC: Yeah. So if Jan were here,
I´d know about it.

She is here, mate.
Trust me.

Maybe she´s with George.

Can you tell me
where I can find him?

Are you after Jan, are you?

Third leg in the daddy trifecta.

Have you seen her?

I-In a manner.

Was that this morning
when you were up at Big Mac´s?

Was that supposed to be
a secret?

Yes.

You need me to stay?

Oh, no. I´m sure George
is safe enough for the moment.

I was thinking more about you,
actually.

Oh, I´m good.
Thanks, Bill.

[ Birds chirping ]

-So...
-So, what´s the story?

You. Here.
Big Mac?

-I needed to get out of Sydney.
-Why?

Things were going pear-shaped.

Which is ironic,
given that I am pear-shaped.

-Pear-shaped in what way?
-Not important.

-I just needed to get away.
-To Weld?

"Frying pan" and "fire"
are words that spring to mind.

This was the last place
I remember feeling happy...

before we mucked that up.

And, well,
I needed to feel happy again.

Mac and I had stayed in touch,

and he offered to put me up
and, um, let me sort myself out.

[ Man clears throat ]

Unfortunately, inevitably,
word of your arrival has spread.

Oh, for goodness´ sake.
What are you doing here?

What do you think?
I´m here for you.

I told you to go home
to your wife.

And I told you I love you.

And what did I do
right after you said that?

Well, you... you got on a plane
and left the country.

Did you not get the message
in that?

You have a pregnant wife.
Go be with her.

No. Uh, Kayla told me that the
kid might not actually be mine.

-Oh, you´re making that up.
-STEVE: No, no, no. True.

As I´m walking out the door to
go to the airport to come here,

she suddenly drops in
the conversation

that she´s been shagging
some banker.

George, Steve.

Have we actually met?

Uh, yeah.
We met at some function.

I love your column, by the way.

No, no, no, no. Don´t you go
getting all matey-matey on me.

You... Get on a plane,
and go back to your wife.

And, you...
Well, you can just go too.

Don´t turn on me.

I just came to say g´day,
see if you needed anything.

Jan is being very well
looked after, thanks, Zac.

JAN:
What he said.

And I think maybe
this influx of fathers

is rather more than Jan needs
right now.

She´s very tired.
She needs to rest.

So if you wouldn´t all mind
just sodding off

until such time as she
actually wants to talk to you.

Yeah, now would be good.

Oh, I´m staying in Weld until
you realize how much I love you.

Yeah, and I´m staying
be... because I live here.

Wait.
Why doesn´t he have to leave?

-He does.
-What? I was talking to Jan.

-Oh, George, please just go.
-ZAC: Yeah, George.

One out, all out.

Jan looks good.

Pregnancy really suits
some women, eh?

Is there a motel near here?

Oh, you don´t want to stay
at the motel, mate.

Seriously, you do not.

[ Sighs ]
You can crash at mine.

Really?

Yeah.
I got heaps of room.

That´s kind of you,
given the circumstances.

BIG MAC:
George?

Just George.
It´s not about Jan.

-You remember my friend Rae?
-Yeah. Course I do.

She´s a bit of an art lover.

Took a liking
to one of Denis´ works...

The one hanging up at Kai Nui.

Anyway, after a glass or three,
she bought the damn thing.

-Okay.
-No, it´s not.

Because Rae, being Rae,

she got her art bloke,
some city dealer,

to take a squizz,
especially seeing it´s unsigned.

And anyway,
this art bloke is dubious

whether it´s the real thing.

And?

It was Shay that sold her
the painting.

I just thought you should know
before things get messy.

Okay.

I will add Shay to the list
of people I need to talk to.

-Thank you.
-Okay.

GEORGE:
Even though it feels like

you´re trying to hold back
the tide,

you can´t just sit back
and let this malady take hold.

As far as I can figure it,

there are three courses
of action open to you.

To try and undo the bad
through reason and logic.

Come in!
My future brother-in-law.

Yeah. Yeah.
I suppose that´s true.

So?
Are you here to congratulate me?

Yeah. Sorry. Sorry.
Of course.

Congratulations.

You think I´m bonkers.

Absolutely.

Is he here?

Popped over
to the Stafford farmers´ market.

Something about Ponderosa lemons
for a dressing.

Yeah.
Sounds like him.

So is this the bit where you
try to talk me out of it?

-No, not at all.
-´Cause Terry said you would.

Did he also tell you about his
shocking reputation with women?

And I have a shocking reputation
with men.

So we´re the perfect match.

You think I can´t handle myself
when it comes to Terry?

No. If anyone can keep up
with him, it´s you.

I´m a big girl, George.

No, I didn´t plan for this
or even see it coming.

But it did, and I´m really happy

for the first time
in a long time.

It´s amazing what falling
madly in love can do.

-You know the feeling, right?
-Yeah, I do.

I was very lucky.

Then why would you
want to deny me that?

Why would you want to deny
your brother that?

Don´t you believe
in fairy tales?

I want to,
but I know how good Terry is

at this part of the fairy tale.

It´s the happily-ever-after
he has a problem with.

Lighten up, George.

I´m good.
We´re good.

You should be good too.

Coffee?

GEORGE:
The problem with diplomacy,

as I´ve written in the past,

is that it appeals to the head
and not to the heart.

The heart believes
in fairy tales.

Strike one.

[ Up-tempo music plays ]

Oh.
George.

Hi.

It´s very quiet.

It´s about right
for this time of the year.

-How can I help you?
-Is Shay here?

No.
She was here, this morning.

I´ve got no idea
where she is now.

Can I help you with something?

Yeah. There´s a painting,
apparently, at the restaurant.

Mm-hmm.
What about it?

Has Big Mac spoken to you
about that?

No.
Why would he?

Because his girlfriend,
who bought it,

now doesn´t think it´s real.

And it was Shay
who sold it to her.

Yes?

According to Shay,

it was more that Bill Jr.
Sold it on her behalf,

before she could stop him.

But is it fake or not?

You know, you´d think that would
be an easy question to answer.

-Try me.
-It´s a long story.

Well, I have time.

And so do you,
by the looks of things.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Course of action number two.

GEORGE:
Forget all about diplomacy

and try to tackle the problem
head on,

do whatever it takes
to turn the tide.

Hey.

So, have you decided yet?

Decided what?

What to do with your half
of the money.

You´ve spoken to Katie.

And then there´s the $25,000
from the one at the restaurant.

Katie said you can have all that
if you want.

Which is a lot of money
for someone your age.

Okay. Before you join the choir
on the moral high ground...

That would be the choir of Ike,

which is why you broke up
with him.

The sort of thing Katie
and I have been doing

-is relatively common in the...
-Don´t.

Don´t.

You do not need to give me
that speech.

Katie already did that.

Are you gonna give Rae
and her art guy that speech?

Sorry?

The art guy
Rae had look at the painting...

The one who pronounced it
a fake.

Are you gonna give him
the Andy Warhol speech?

I´m pretty sure
he´d know all about that

and where the whole factory-art
thing ends and fraud begins.

You know the most disappointing
thing about all this?

Oh.
Sorry.

-It´s okay.
-Okay. I´m just off to work.

When can we expect you home?

I don´t know.
When work finishes.

You left me in the dark.

I was thinking you´d found
something you wanted to do.

And I had.

That was the thing, Dad.
I loved it.

So you can save the lecture.

No.
N-No lectures.

The parental guidebook
doesn´t cover things like this.

I just want to help you, Shay,
but I have no idea how.

Well, you don´t have to.

I need to sort this out.

Yeah.

You do.

I´m sorry, Dad.

What are you apologizing
to me for?

For being such a disappointment.

No.

You are never that.

What you´ve done here, yeah.

But never you.

I just worry, Shay...
when you make choices like this.

GEORGE: The problem
with the head-on approach

is that essentially all it does

is alert someone
that the problem exists

without ever solving
the underlying issues.

Strike two.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

Monty?

I hope you´re not looking for a
rental for the weekend, George.

No.
Why would I?

Well, you wouldn´t,
´cause you live here.

But if you didn´t and you were,
we haven´t got any.

Even the houses with dead rats
and possums in the ceilings.

Busy, George. This time
last year, it was dead dead.

Yeah... like the dead rats

and possums decomposing
in the ceilings.

MONTY:
That restaurant´s going off.

People are driving for miles
for a feed.

They´re staying the weekend.
Ka-ching. Ka-ching.

This is the restaurant
that excluded Siouxsie

and half the town
from its opening?

I know where you´re going
with this, George.

It takes a big man to admit
he´s wrong.

And if rental demand continues,
I may have to be that big man.

GEORGE: You can´t tell Tom
about any of this.

Bless him, but Tom would have no
idea what to do about art fraud

even if it was hung up
on the wall in front of him.

Which it would be if we could
afford to go to Kai Nui.

But do you think there´ll be
any legal ramifications?

Are you asking me because of
my expertise in the art world,

which is none,

or my knowledge of the law,
which is more extensive

but only in the area
of burying dead husbands.

I´m asking you because
I need to talk to someone

and because you are wise.

Well, in that case, yes,
on one hand, you are right...

Shay is a big girl and needs to
own this, as it were.

And on the other hand?

This is Weld,

and Weld has its own way
of dealing with things.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Hey.

Shay.

I´ve been thinking...

Well, that´s good.

That you should send my share
of the money back to Denis.

I will do that.

And I´ve been thinking that
because no money changed hands

that we should just tell Rae
the painting isn´t for sale.

That would work,
except things have moved on.

[ Bell chimes ]

She came to see you?

Yes.

And is she going to the police?

No.
Far from it.

It can´t be easy trying to make
a living as an artist

in a town like this.

Actually, Shay and I only
did this as a favor to Denis,

to help him out of a jam.

But it doesn´t change the fact
that you sold me

a forged painting.

The sale hasn´t been completed.

But an offer was made
and accepted.

Not by me.

By someone in your employment.

Whichever way you look at it,

it´s not a good look, is it,
Katie?

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

No.

Luckily for you, though,

if there´s one thing I hate,
it´s a bad investment.

So I´ve come up with a deal
for both of us.

Which is?

Which is, I keep the painting

and you get Denis to provide
a letter of authentication.

He can sign the painting
whenever he´s next in Weld.

But in this new deal,
I don´t pay 25K.

I pay nothing.

And in return, I say nothing.

She´ll get Denis to sign it
and flick it on for a fortune.

Oh, do you think so, Shay?

[ Sighs ]
So what are we gonna do?

I´m gonna regret we ever started
it is what I´m gonna do.

STEVE: No disrespect, mate,
but you´re just not her type.

Yeah, I am.
I mean, look at me.

Uh, Jan´s a city girl, mate,
through and through.

I mean, there is no way
she´s gonna raise her kids

out here in the boonies.

No.
She likes it here.

And Weld´s a great place
to bring up kids, eh, Ike?

-Aye.
-Yeah.

We´ve got the beach and, uh,
the fishing...and, uh...

The Super Store.

Everything you need
and heaps more.

-Heaps. Heaps.
-ZAC: Hey, George.

Steve and I are gonna take
the boat out so he can try kina.

-You want to join?
-Complete the daddy set.

I´m good, thanks.

You sure?

You look like you could do
with some fresh air.

Oh, no. I think I´ll pass.

-Hi.
-Coffee?

-Yeah. Ta.
-Something to eat?

No.
Coffee will be fine, thanks.

Are you okay?

Do you think things have changed
around here?

Well, that´s a loaded question,
coming from you...to me.

No.
I mean Weld since the pop-up.

Well, the flow-on business
has certainly eventuated.

I´m well aware of that.

What I mean is it feels like
we´ve lost our innocence.

You know,
I know that sounds stupid,

but it´s better
than talking about "the vibe."

The vibe.

It doesn´t feel like Weld
anymore.

It feels like
when my brother moved in

and all this kicked off,
that we... we lost something.

And people started doing things
they wouldn´t normally do...

Not entirely good things.

-Like Hannah.
-Hannah is an example.

Or you being punched
in the nose.

That was a brother thing.

What I´m talking about is...

I don´t like the way this town
feels now.

I don´t like some of
the things people are doing.

And I don´t like how no one
seems to care or even notice.

Except you.

Well...

Then maybe you should leave.

I mean, what´s keeping you here?

I´ll get you that coffee.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Course of action number three...
Make it not your problem

by removing yourself
from the equation.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Hey.
The winds they are a-changin´.

-You feeling it, too?
-It´s hard not to.

So it´s real, right?
It´s not just me?

The way one restaurant
is affecting the town.

Yeah.
What?

Isn´t that what
you´re talking about?

I was thinking onshore rising
to 25 knots before easing.

-Oh.
-What are you on about?

Oh, nothing, really.

It´s just the way the town
has changed.

Oh.
Since your brother´s arrived?

Yes.

The moral malaise.

That´s a bit deep, isn´t it?

Are you sure it´s not just you
´cause your bro´s here?

Well, don´t the two go
hand in hand?

I don´t know.

You´re the one thinking
the deep-and-meaningfuls.

So what do you think
you´re gonna do about it?

Yeah.
Well, there´s the rub.

Fiona reckons
I should just take off,

leave everyone to it.

So what´s stopping you?

I´d love to come with you too,
mate,

but I-I´ve got Tracey
and her job to think about.

-And I´ve got kids, Woody.
-Well, do you?

Yeah, and they´re still dealing
with the last time I moved them.

So then move without them.

What?

Go, mate.

Shay´s all grown up.

Arlo´s clearly making
his own decisions.

Not good ones.

Well, then maybe this is
the shock the kids need.

Their old man taking off
for a bit.

George, eyes on the horizon,
mate.

Yeah, but...where would I go?

Easily sorted, mate.

Easily sorted.
Come on.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

It´s just a bit too real.

[ Laughs ]
All right, Georgie.

The whole world right there.

Now, throw it.

Where it lands
is where you´re going.

-No questions asked.
-Oh, this is stupid.

-I said no questions.
-That wasn´t a question.

Yeah, but you´re questioning
my wisdom, mate.

Okay?
Don´t think about it.

Throw the dart and off you go.

[ Up-tempo music plays ]

And close your eyes.

Marianas Trench.

Yeah.
Try and hit landmass.

Yes!

Iraq!

-Not gonna happen.
-Yeah. No. Okay.

This is it.
This is it.

I think you just obliterated
Weld.

Must be a sign.

You´re having problems
letting go.

You need to trust this idea,

and it´s gonna tell you
where you need to go.

Feel it.

This is it.

Hey!
Bull´s-eye!

Uh, London... or thereabouts.

Have you ever been?

No.

I was going there
until I met Laura.

Oh, well, that´s a sign
if I´ve ever seen one.

Yeah.

GEORGE:
Let me be crystal clear here.

Running away is not an option.

Yes, some might argue running
away is how I ended up here,

but it is not an option now,

because there is way too much
at stake

to even think about leaving.

So...it´s strike three
on that one.

All I wanted was to help
and do something fun.

Suddenly,
because it makes money,

it´s somehow wrong?

That sucks.

There´s nothing wrong
with making money.

Apparently there is.

And it wasn´t like I was even
planning to sell the painting.

I just thought it´d be cool

to have something I´d done
on show where I live.

A proper painting
on a proper wall,

not on the side
of the Super Store.

But now I´m apparently
some sort of criminal genius.

I know how we can fix it.

How we can make everything
all right.

Is that legal?

What?

Don´t you have to have
an actual ring

to be legally engaged?

No, Arlo.
That bit comes later.

It´s romantic is what it is.

If you´re looking to make
a booking, you´re out of luck.

Terry here?

Is Terry here?

Uh, no.
He´s just popped out back.

Ta.

Hitting it already?

Whatever gets you through
the night, eh?

And if it doesn´t kill you,
it makes you stronger, right?

Hey. Guess what I put
on the menu tonight.

Mac and cheese.
[ Laughs ]

Just like Mum taught us.

Yours is nothing
like Mum taught us.

Which is why I get to charge
the earth.

You look bloody awful,
by the way.

I´ve been celebrating
the good news.

You heard the good news, right?

Yeah, I did.

Yeah.
Of course you did.

You went around to see Hannah,
try and talk her out of it.

No, I went to see you, and I
took the opportunity to check

that Hannah knew exactly what
she was getting herself into.

[ Laughing ]
She knows, mate.

She´s a good person.
Try to let her down lightly.

See, that supposes
that I´m gonna take off on her.

Oh, you will.

You still singing
the same old song?

This is such a sweet gig.

Why would I want to walk away
from that?

Because you and Weld,
you don´t fit together.

I disagree.

Ollie, my man.

Chef.

Mr. Turner.

Ollie.

So why are you here, George?

It´s clearly not
to congratulate me.

To give you the chance
to do the right thing.

Which is what?

To tell Hannah you were
mistaken in proposing to her

and to beg her forgiveness

and to tell Robbie McNamara
when you´ll be leaving

as opposed to doing
your usual runner

-in the middle of the night.
-And why would I do either?

Like I said,
you and Weld don´t go together.

-But I love it here.
-No, you don´t.

You´re only staying here
because of me.

[ Chuckles ]
What?

-You heard.
-[ Laughs ]

You´ve got to get over yourself,
man.

You´ve got to
actually understand

that you´re not that important
to me.

Yeah, I am, actually.

I´m a bit slow on it.
Out of practice, I guess.

I should´ve figured it out
when you punched me in the face.

That was a dead giveaway.

I´ll punch you again
if you like.

Forget why you arrived here,
what drove you here.

It´s what you´ve done while
you´ve been here that matters,

how you took the opportunity
that Big Mac gave you

and you ran with it.

The opportunity to create
a great restaurant

in the middle of nowhere?

Exactly.
In the middle of nowhere.

I mean, since when
does the great Terry Turner

stay in the middle of nowhere?

Unless to get back
at his brother.

This is all about London.

This is about you showing me,

up close, in my own backyard,
what I missed out on.

For once in your life,
you´d done all the work.

You´d put in the hours,
got your hands dirty.

And all you needed was me.

And I failed you.

You found the place.
Got the lease sorted.

Everything was in
the right place.

And I betrayed you
because I fell in love,

and I never got on that plane,
and everything fell apart,

and it took you five years
to recover.

You know, we could have been
so good together.

We could have taken the world
by storm.

Yeah, we could have.

But my world changed
when I met Laura.

And I´m not sorry for that...
Not for a minute.

You... You are great, Terry.

And you are brave in ways
that I can´t even imagine.

But you don´t need me.

And you certainly don´t need to
prove anything to me

in the town where I live
and rub my nose in it.

I get it.

I really do.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

I´ve got 50 covers to oversee.

This place isn´t you, Terry.
These people aren´t you.

Yeah. Well, you tell that
to the 50 covers.

Terry.

I´m gonna write an article
about this place,

about what it´s done
to the town.

And you´re not gonna like it.

We both do what we´ve got to do,
right?

[ Music continues ]

GEORGE:
A big bad wolf came to my town.

For a long time, I thought
the wolf was my brother,

and I told people so.

But the wolf isn´t him.

The wolf is what he brought
with him.

And it is my fault
that he did this thing.

There is a restaurant
in my town.

People come from far and wide
to eat at this restaurant...

Thank you for coming.

Well, that was exceptional,
as always.

Bless you, Jan.

Got to keep George´s boys fed,
eh?

Well, that´s if they actually
are his.

Three dads.

She´s a bit of a dark horse.

Maybe I learned from you, Terry.

-And on that note, we should go.
-Yeah.

GEORGE: The people came
for good reason,

for this restaurant
would not be out of place

in New York, Paris...

or London.

Oh, hi.

I hope you don´t mind,

but everyone´s coming back
to our place

to continue
the engagement celebrations.

-Our place?
-You know what I mean.

That cool with you?

Let the party roll on.

You want to go to Hannah´s
for a while?

Sure.

Yeah.

Hey, man, if you want to go to
Hannah´s place, I can lock up.

Are you sure?

Yeah, yeah.
No worries.

[ Keys jingling ]

Thanks.

GEORGE: But while the restaurant
may not be out of place

in any of the great cities
of the world,

the town where I live
is not a great city.

So when something
like the restaurant

lands in the middle of it,
everything changes...

The nature of the town
and the nature of the people.

♫ I dreamt a hundred times

SHAY:
Are you sure about this?

It´s the way.
I´m telling you.

GEORGE: Innocence,
for want of a better word,

is what has been lost

since the big bad wolf
has arrived in our town.

[ Music continues ]

[ Whispering ]
Can I tell you something?

[ Whispering ]
Yeah. What?

I actually think you´re way more
like your uncle than your dad.

You could be him one day.

♫ Oh, oh, my, my ♫

You do the honors.

♫ My, my ♫

♫ Oh, oh, my, my ♫

♫ Oh, my, my... ♫

It´s the only way, Shay.

You get rid of the painting,

and all your problems go up
in smoke.

♫ Oh, my, my ♫

♫ You get in my head ♫

♫ You´re in my head ♫

♫ You´re in my head ♫

♫ All the time I spent
with you... ♫

GEORGE:
I loved my town the way it was,

before the wolf opened
his doors.

Something changed after that,

and I reckon not for the better.

[ Thunder rumbling ]

Kai Nui is not us.

But that´s just me.
That´s my opinion.

And my opinion means little

compared to the will
of the people.

So what do you think?

Tell me I´m right,

or tell me I´m the boy
who cried wolf.
