It feels like when my brother
moved in and all this kicked off

that we lost our innocence.

What am I meant to say
when people ask about us?

Say, "Yeah, we´re over."

Now I´m apparently some sort
of criminal genius.

OLLIE:
You get rid of the painting,

and all your problems
go up in smoke.

Hannah, will you marry me?

Wow.

STEVE: I´m looking for someone.
Her name´s Jan.

Magazine Jan?

Australian woman,
very pregnant with my twins.

Think you´ll find
they´re my twins, mate.

FIONA:
Third leg in the daddy trifecta.

JAN:
Twins, George.

Terry, I´m gonna write
an article about this place.

And you´re not gonna like it.

[ Chuckles ]

We eat.

We consume food as fuel.

We never really stop to consider
that the basic act of eating

can have huge social meaning.

I thought you didn´t read
that propaganda sheet.

I´m making an exception, Billy.

Oh, morning, ladies.
Hey, g´day, Billy.

What, is there something
important in the paper?

George doesn´t think we should
have this restaurant here.

Never mind some of us
are passing NCEA because of it.

Ouch.

That´s not going to do much
for brotherly love, is it?

What complete and utter tosh!

Anyone can eat in my restaurant.

If you don´t mind
taking out a second mortgage.

We´re barely covering costs.

Exactly.
Good point.

You know what really hurts?

The bill at the end of the meal?

That he should publish
this rubbish in my newspaper.

McNamara.

Is he some sort
of food socialist?

That´s good Can I tweet that?

Sorry, Jared,
what´s gone missing?

GEORGE: Driving all this is
the cult of the celebrity chef,

the god of the kitchen,

to whom the foodies bow
and scrape and heap money upon.

And that isn´t my version
of what food should be

or how it should be eaten.

Not in my little town.

[ Up-tempo music plays ]

ARLO:
You know, some of the people

that eat at the restaurant
are actually quite nice.

How would you know?
You´re in the kitchen.

Sometimes they come in
to get a photo with Uncle Terry.

Rich, pretentious snobs
who think money

buys them whatever they want.

Well, isn´t that
the point of money?

And the food is really worth it.

No, if it were in Sydney,
it would be.

What does it matter where it is?

Well, it´s about what you
expect from your community.

I expect Terry to ply
his trade in Sydney,

so there I´ll pay his prices.

Except he lets us eat for free.

Here, it just doesn´t fit
with the vibe, you know?

Weld has a vibe?

´Course it does.
It used to be one thing.

And now it´s something else,
something not as nice.

Thanks to the invasion
of pretentious foodies to grovel

and have their pictures taken
with the great Chef Terry.

Yeah, who is going to be really
ticked off when he reads this.

No, I was nice about his food.

If I´d been mean about his
cooking, then he´d be angry.

Good morning.

Morning.

My brother is questioning
our right to exist.

TOM: But you didn´t lock up
last night?

JARED:
No, Ollie did.

Right, off you go.

And no alarms went off
in the night?

No. And this is
a very valuable painting

we´re talking about here.

And as such, it hasn´t been
sent away for cleaning, say?

-Why would I do that?
-Maybe it got food on it.

Well, how would it
get food on it, mate?

I don´t know
what people do in here

because I can´t afford
to eat in here.

Maybe people throw food around,
for all I know.

No.

The painting was here last
night, and it´s gone today.

Art theft,
quite exotic for Weld.

I´ll round up
the usual suspects.

Hey, what´s going on?
You guys are in early.

What?

GLORIA:
You stirred up a hornet´s nest.

Did I, Gloria?

GLORIA: Well, the phone´s rung
a few times,

which is fairly intense
for Weld´s standards.

And your Twitter´s going off.

Admittedly, it´s mainly Bill Jr.
In his various guises

expressing his disgust.

It´s hilarious.

He can´t help but use
plumbing metaphors

"Should we really flush
this fine establishment

down the dunny?"

-[ Door opens ]
-Genius.

-Morning, Bill.
-Gloria.

Can George and I have the room
for a minute, please?

It´s your room.
You can do what you like.

Yes, it is.
Yes, I can.

Magnificently written article

posing some
interesting questions

about the nature of our town.

That was the intention.

Of course, I´m going to have to
fire you because of it.

If I can´t say how I feel, then
I´m not sure I want the job.

Oh, I´m not firing you because
of your beautiful words, George.

I´m firing you
because you´re costing me money.

Because people are canceling
their newspaper subscriptions?

Because as of today,
the restaurant is closed.

Because of the article?

You were the boy who cried wolf,

and when it didn´t happen,
lo, you made it so.

Your brother´s walked,
taking his crew with him.

Over what I wrote?

You did question their
right to exist, George.

Clearly Terry has taken it
very personally.

Have you spoken to Terry?

No, he´s not
answering his phone.

Well, then how do you know
he walked?

Robbie found his crew
packing up.

Said they don´t stay
where they´re not wanted.

Big Mac,
if Terry has cut and run,

it has nothing to do
with my story,

the story he knew I was writing.

You suggested his restaurant
was an elitist blight on Weld.

No, I suggested your restaurant
was an elitist blight.

You don´t really know
my brother, do you?

He´s a cook who shakes hands
with devils like you

so he gets to cook
what he wants.

If I´d criticized his roasted
duck breast, then, yes,

he´d toss his handbag and walk.

But I didn´t. I praised
his food to the rooftops.

So, no, Terry did not walk

because I had a crack
at your restaurant.

-If not that, then why?
-I don´t exactly know.

The fact remains
that he´s walked.

And I would like you
to find him,

find out why, and stop him.

And then maybe
you can keep your job.

It´s cool, Shay.
Don´t worry.

Ollie, the police
are involved now.

OLLIE: [ Chuckles ]
Constable Tom.

I mean, it´s not
exactly like the FBI

are coming after us, is it?

You have no idea if the painting
was there when you locked up?

No.

It´s a rather large painting
on the wall.

Bit hard to miss.

I wasn´t looking at the wall.

I was looking
the other way, so...

The other way?

Yeah, like, away from the wall.

Relax.
Everything´s sweet.

GEORGE: Hello?

Hannah, it´s George.

Hey, George.

Terry here?

Uh...no.

-Any idea where he is?
-Nope.

Have you tried calling him?

He´s not answering.

Well, maybe he´s unhappy
about what you wrote.

-So he´s read it, then.
-Yep.

Did he seem unhappy?

Oh, I don´t think
he really cared, actually.

In fact, I´d say
he thought it was funny.

Did he say where he was going?

No, but he normally
gets up early

to get stuff for the restaurant.

Oh.

[ Sighs ] What?

-Nothing. It´s just...
-Nothing, just what?

Just I think you really
need to talk to him, Hannah.

Or at least
he needs to talk to you.

I´m sorry.

What for?

Interrupting.

I´ll leave you to it.

[ Ringing, beep ]

Look, I don´t really care
if you want to ignore me,

but don´t you dare
treat Hannah like this.

All right, everyone,
Mr. Turner would like

to talk to those
working at the restaurant.

I won´t keep you too long
from your studies or whatever.

I just want to talk
to the Numpty Crew.

So, unfortunately, due to
circumstances beyond my control,

the restaurant is now
officially closed as of today.

But I did want to stop by
and thank you all

for doing such an amazing job.

And I´ve made sure there´s
a little something extra for you

when Robbie sorts out
the last pay.

And if anyone needs a reference,
you can contact me.

-Yes, Jared?
-What about our credits?

-Is that a school thing?
-NCEA.

I don´t know anything
about that, mate.

TRACEY: The work
that you´ve done will count

towards your
internal assessments.

TERRY:
Or you can do what I did.

Just get out of here
as quick as you can,

-get into the real world.
-[ Clears throat ]

But staying in school is cool...

too.

Uncle Terry.

Hey, mate.

ARLO: These circumstances,
is that Dad and what he wrote?

No, it´s a bigger picture.

Which is?

Your dad...

well, he´s right.

He´s usually right
when it comes to me.

That doesn´t answer
the question.

Arlo, give me a break.

Are you leaving
´cause of my dad?

You´ve got other things
to worry about,

like what are you
gonna do with your life?

And don´t you listen
to your old man on that one,

because you could be
a star in the kitchen.

And he´s only going to try
and talk you out of it.

Yeah, so I don´t
end up like you.

Which will never happen,

because you, Arlo Turner,
are your own man.

I thought you were
off the booze.

Just keeping the stock safe
so certain buggers

don´t take any for themselves.

You have a dim view of society.

I´ve got a dim view of you,
mate.

Well, you´re welcome
to write a reply.

ROBBIE:
What´s the point?

The ship´s already sunk, my
friend, and you´re the iceberg.

In fact, I should probably
call the cops,

get you done
for trespassing, mate.

TERRY:
Get your hand off it, Robbie.

George is welcome here
any time of the day or night.

So you be nice to him,

and in return, I promise
not to tell your dad

about you skimming the profits.

You shouldn´t have bailed
just ´cause of what he wrote.

It´s not that simple, Robbie.

Literally the closest thing

I´ve ever seen to a rat
in a sinking ship.

[ Chuckles ]

So I´m guessing
you want to talk.

Do you think so?

TERRY:
Eh, not here.

Too many bad memories.

You haven´t been here long
enough to form any memories.

I´m talking about the hurt

from my brother
stabbing me in the back.

[ Laughs ]

You got a corkscrew?

GEORGE: Nope.

TERRY:
That was a grand gesture wasted.

GEORGE: It wasn´t that grand
to begin with.

We came here as kids.

Christmas carols.

So why are you leaving?

Does it matter?

Aren´t I fulfilling
expectations?

Well, yeah, but why now?

I don´t know.

Some bloke wrote something about
us being a blight on his town.

No, you´re just using me
as an excuse.

You did say some
pretty hurtful things.

About the business,
not the food.

You only care about the food.
So cut the crap.

You´re not leaving here
because of me.

Okay, fair enough.

But you did provide
a magnificent excuse.

GEORGE:
So, why, then?

New opportunities.

There´s this Saudi prince,
and he´s mad for my food.

Wants me to give him
Michelin stars.

Money´s no object.

So for the next six months,

while he´s fitting out
his restaurant in Dubai,

I´ll be living in his palace
in Saudi Arabia

just working up the menu.

You?

In Saudi Arabia?

Yeah. [ Laughs ]

Yeah, I´ll have to calm down my
wicked, wicked ways, I reckon.

But seriously, man,
the money´s insane.

I thought you were
all about the food.

Yeah, I am,
but with money like that,

gives me the opportunity
to experiment,

and that´s a hard deal
to turn down.

You should come with me.

You´d love Bruce.

-Who the hell´s Bruce?
-The Saudi prince guy.

His name´s Bruce?

No, no, he´s a Monty Python fan.

You know the sketch
where they´re all Aussies,

they call each other Bruce?

Yeah, well, he calls me Bruce.
I call him Bruce.

He loves it.

Well, you do live
an interesting life.

I´ll say that much.

So how come you haven´t
told Hannah all of this?

Yeah, I will.

I´m just working up to it.

Just waiting for everything
to fall into place.

And you´re scared.

Of Hannah?

For sure.

But, you know, Saudi Arabia´s
not a great place for women,

especially someone like Hannah.

You know,
stroppy and all of that.

-Yes, lucky for you.
-What do you mean?

Well, to have
such a handy excuse.

It´ll make breaking her heart
so much easier.

Hannah´s tough.
She´ll be cool.

She thinks she´s engaged to you.

Oh, come on, man,
we were so wasted at the time,

and the ring´s made out of one
of those champagne wire things.

I think she gets
it wasn´t entirely serious.

-What?!
-You are such an ass.

She´s in love with you.

She deserves a whole lot better
than this.

So you got a thing for her,
too, now, do you?

Ow!
Can you stop doing that?

Do you think
this is easy for me?

I really dig her.
I really do.

And if I could take her with me,
I would.

But it just wouldn´t work.

Besides, she deserves
someone better than me.

Yeah, she does.

You need to tell her
all of this.

-I will.
-Now.

We do it now.

Let´s just find
a corkscrew first.

[ Glass shatters ]

That was... That was a very
expensive bottle of wine.

Oh. I was wondering if you were
going to show up eventually.

-You´re still angry at me.
-But why?

Because I spent this morning
talking to the police?

And what did you
tell the police?

-The truth.
-Which is?

That I have no idea
what the truth is.

I don´t know
who was more confused.

So the painting was on loan?

-Something like that.
-From the artist?

Definitely from the artist.

So, in effect, the painting,

though it was stolen
from the restaurant,

was stolen from Denis,
the artist.

You could say that.

And what value would you
put on this painting?

I put no value on it.

Wasn´t it very good?

No, I just... I wouldn´t
put any value on it.

Okay.
But would Denis?

He... He wouldn´t even
remember doing it.

I´m glad we don´t get a lot
of art theft around here.

-I am so, so sorry, Katie.
-You should be.

If it helps,
the painting has been...

No, I don´t want to know
about the painting.

Because if I know something,
then I´ll have to lie about it,

and I can´t stand the lying.

Then don´t lie.

If Constable Tom asks,
tell him it was me.

Tell him that my dad
was right that this town

has gone to the dogs,
morally speaking.

I gave him the opportunity
to save his job

by undoing what he´s done.

I don´t think George
is motivated by threats.

Oh, it´s not a threat.

It´s an opportunity
to put things right.

Not really.

And firing George
is not a smart move.

You need him.

Every tin-pot dictator needs
a conscience on the payroll.

[ Laughs ]

-Tin-pot dictator, is it?
-But in a good way.

Dad, I found these two
skulking around outside.

We weren´t skulking.

Looks pretty much
like skulking to me.

We were formulating a strategy.

One that ignores the bit where
I told you to leave me alone?

Look, we were having
a talk last night.

-Me and Steve-o.
-Steve-o?

Yeah, we both feel
that you need to know

that we´re here
for you long term.

That´s your strategy?
To wait me out?

Pretty much.
We just want to help.

Help by going home,
get marriage counseling.

But I love you.

And I want my kids
to have a father.

Okay, you guys
need to leave now.

[ Gunshot ]

[ Birds squawking ]

Yeah, you need to leave.

Yeah, fair enough, but dads
have rights, too, you know.

Sorry, Dad.

It is looking really nasty
out there.

Where are you going?

Hannah, when I say
it looks nasty,

I mean like "it´s not
worth dying for" nasty.

HANNAH:
Don´t care.

Hey, Hannah, it looks dangerous.
Don´t be an idiot.

Well, I am an idiot, Woody,

so shouldn´t I die
an idiotic death?

What?
Don´t be stupid!

Okay, I´m stupid and an idiot.
Yep, that sounds about right.

Hey, hey, hey.
No, you´re not.

[ Voice breaking ]
Yes, I am.

I let him in.
I let him get to me.

I believed his crap.

Stupid.

And today of all days.

Look, it´s okay, all right.

It´s all right, mate.

It´s all right.

ROBBIE: Do you know what
I don´t get, mate?

No, Robbie.
What don´t you get?

What is this guy´s problem?
George flippin´ Turner.

I thought he laid his problems
out quite succinctly

in the article.

That the restaurant didn´t fit
with the social milieu of Weld.

Blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, mate.

I reckon he just hates me.

Oh, so you do know
what his problem is, then.

-[ Cellphone ringing ]
-Don´t be a drongo, Monty.

Montgomery McNamara speaking.

Come back to the office now.

Roger, 10-4, Big Daddy.
Traveling.

Don´t ever call me
Big Daddy again.

Got it.

Well, as much as
I´d love to sit here

and listen to you abuse
my impeccable logic,

I´ve got to go.

You can eat that.

I don´t want
your leftovers, mate.

Just my pity.

Um, duty calls.
Put it on my tab.

All right.

How come he hates me?

Who?
Monty?

No, your boyfriend.

-I don´t have a boyfriend.
-Well, you know who I mean.

I thought what George wrote
was fair comment.

I just wanted to do
something great for this town

to make up for last time.

FIONA: I´m sure you´ll
get another shot.

Big Mac will make sure of that.

You have no idea how much
I want a drink right now.

-What do you got?
-You´re not getting it from me.

Oh, thank you.

For what?

For caring about me.

Uh, don´t mistake that
for caring.

-Hey, man.
-Hey, bro.

Aren´t you supposed to be
at school?

Um, my dad, with the restaurant
shutting down,

figured there was no reason
for me to go anymore.

-It was shut down?
-Yeah, it´s cool.

Gives me more time
to spend with Shay.

It´s not a problem, is it?

It´s my understanding
that you and Shay broke up.

We´re certainly not together.

Yeah, that was my understanding.

Me and Shay just have
this connection, you know?

We have history now.

You know you don´t have to
help me do this, right?

Yeah, but I do owe you.

-Big-time.
-[ Telephone ringing ]

And I have nothing else to do.

Apart from the half-finished
wall at the Super Store.

-[ Beep ]
-Hello?

My painting is missing.

Rae.

Where is it?

I have no idea, I´m afraid.

You didn´t pay anything, cow,
so it was never yours.

That place down by the water.

The Boat Club?

Meet me there.

-[ Beep ]
-She wants to meet me.

She has nothing over you.
Tell her to bugger off.

Hey.

Sorry.
Um, interrupting?

Yes.

No, it´s okay.
I´ve got to go anyway.

IKE:
Sorry.

Doesn´t matter.
Why are you here?

You and Ollie.

What about him?

You and him?

Okay, let me start by saying

who I´m with has nothing
to do with you.

Oh, so you are with him.

-No!
-Well, does he know that?

Look, ´cause the thing is,
Ollie´s a great guy

until he´s...not.

Which means what?

Which means you need
to be really clear

-about where you stand.
-He knows what it is.

Does he?

I´m not getting back
with you, Ike.

This has nothing
to do with that.

If I want to go out with
other guys, that´s my choice.

Yeah, and I´m not
gonna stop you.

Just wanted to give you a
heads-up, so, yeah, that´s all.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

TERRY: I could just grab
my stuff and leave a note.

Yeah, good point.

You´d have to write it

´cause you´re better
at that kind of thing.

You´re still here.

Yeah.

Uh, sort of.

Do you want us to go
so you can...

No. Stay.

I´m into everybody hearing stuff
at the same time.

Okay, look, I was
going to tell you first,

but you fell back asleep,

and I thought I´d shoot off
and tell the other guys,

and one thing led to another.

-[ Sighing ] Oh, dear.
-What?

That´s how it happened.

Is he always this stupid
when he´s dumping someone?

The bar´s being reset
to a new low.

Wait a minute.
Who said anything about dumping?

-You´re leaving, right?
-TERRY: Well, yeah.

And I´m not coming with, right?

No, but there´s a very good
reason for that.

You know, Saudi Arabia´s not
the greatest place for a woman.

Saudi Arabia?

TERRY: Yeah.

That´s where you´re going?

Look, I´m headed out.

And I don´t think
that you should come with me.

I don´t think it´s a good idea.

And are you coming back?

Well, not for
the foreseeable future, no.

So, where in all this
am I not being dumped?

Look, I thought that maybe,
at some stage,

you might like
to come and join me.

You know, somewhere
that´s not Saudi Arabia.

HANNAH:
At some point?

So I´m just supposed to sit
around until you maybe call?

-Or not.
-No.

Look, I´m cool if you want
to do whatever you want.

-Oh, for God´s sake.
-What?!

I´m just... I´m just trying
to tell it how it is.

HANNAH:
So are we still engaged or not?

Yeah, you know,
if you want to be.

George, your brother
is a dick, mate.

Well, if it means
that much to you,

why did you ask me to marry you?

Because it seemed like
a good idea at the time.

Because you´re fun,
you´re sexy, and I like you.

You are everything
that I love in a woman.

What do you love
about this woman?

What is it about me?
What makes me different?

Well, it´s because
of how different you are

that I have to leave...

alone.

And I´m sorry.

I´m sure you are,
in this moment.

But then again,
you´re one of those blokes

who lives moment to moment,
so you´re sorry right now,

but in 10 minutes,
you´ll be right as rain.

No, no, no, that´s not...
That´s not...

Don´t even think about arguing.

Yeah, she´s got you sussed,
mate.

I am truly sorry.

Get your stuff.

And get the hell out of my life.

And you know what?
I´m gonna keep the ring.

As a reminder
never to be so stupid.

I apologize on behalf
of my entire family.

Yeah, and me, on behalf
of blokes everywhere.

Well, that went better
than I expected.

-Hey, is Woody here?
-Should he be?

According to his message.

Some kind
of emotional emergency.

Maybe he meant the Brotherhood
of Rejected Fathers here.

TRACEY:
I´m pretty sure he didn´t.

Drink until he shows up?

If I say yes, it´s not because
my job has driven me to it.

-You need to come with me.
-Why?

Because if you don´t, I will
hunt you down and destroy you.

I´m busy.

Okay, someone´s put an offer
on your wedding house.

Why didn´t you just say that?

Dad wanted me to inject
some intrigue into it.

Real estate
is generally very dull.

You´re in charge
till I get back.

-But I´m in charge all day.
-Just five minutes, please.

So, I hear William´s
taking in waifs and strays.

The pregnant woman in the house.

Oh, Jan.

RAE: Mm.

-She needed somewhere to stay.
-So I heard.

I´m sure there´s nothing
going on between them.

It wouldn´t matter if there was.

-So, my painting´s gone, then?
-Yes.

Any chance
there´s another lying around?

No, and I should point out

that no actual money
has changed hands.

-So?
-So if you´re looking to...

Threaten you?

[ Chuckles ]
Why would I do that?

Katie, I want to go
into business with you.

WOODY:
Come on.

Can´t I just stay at home
and be miserable?

No, because you know how the
saying goes, Hannah, all right?

Misery needs company.

I don´t think that´s
how the saying goes.

-Well, it is now.
-Hey, everything okay?

You sounded really stressed
on the phone.

WOODY: No, no, not me.
Hannah´s had the worst day ever.

First, where she works
shuts down.

And then she got dumped

because George´s bro
decided he wanted to move on.

What?

How can he do that?

Pretty easily, actually.

What a bastard.

I figured Hannah could use some
company of the feminine variety.

Good call.

WOODY:
Yeah, I´ll leave you to it, eh?

You don´t want to stay?

We´ve done our bonding
for the day, eh?

More than enough bonding,
thank you.

Yeah, put it there.

Not.
Hoo-hoo!

-I´ll see you at home.
-Dick.

You´ve got a good man there.

You know, it makes sense,

now that I´ve had a chance
to take it all in.

-What makes sense?
-This house.

Buying it by accident
is the only logical explanation.

Okay, I´ve played along
long enough.

The truth... tell me.

There is no Bruce.
There is no Saudi Arabia.

Well, there might be, one day.

It´s a pretty good story,
though, eh?

I think it helped
minimize the hurt.

Which is the only reason
I let you spin it.

All right, the truth, George?

The truth is that
this place isn´t me.

I honestly thought it was
when I got here.

But...it just makes me so tired.

All this quiet.

All this beauty.

You don´t think
it´s your lifestyle

that´s making you tired?

Probably doesn´t help.

I just need a big,
noisy city around me.

You know, that´s what
makes me feel alive.

Well, why don´t you take Hannah?
She´d love the big city.

TERRY:
Yeah, for a little while,

till she finds me in bed
with some bird.

I know who I am, George,
and Hannah´s too good for that.

That is undoubtedly true.

So I´ll... I´ll get out
of your hair tomorrow.

Leaving everyone
with the impression

that it was me
who drove you away.

So there is an upside to it all.

[ Laughs ]

Look, the least I can do is cook
you all dinner before I go.

No, the least you could do
is rewind time

so you never showed up here.

That´s a bit harsh.

Have you forgotten Hannah
already?

Yeah, but you see,
Hannah´s a lovely person,

and you´re just consumed
by bitterness.

Excuse me?

Because you know...

that I´ve always been
a better cook than you.

[ Chuckles ]
Never.

I´ve got the résumé to prove it.

Means nothing in my house.

Because in your house,
you´ve never given me the chance

to prove you wrong.

Oh, you want the chance, do you?

MONTY:
I think you´ll find the offer´s

well above the asking price,

the sign
of a master agent at work.

I still can´t believe
you spoiled the surprise.

Get over it, Dad.

Well, I´ve given away
everything else in my life.

-Why not the house, eh?
-Don´t be like that.

I´m not being like anything, Fi.
Just telling it how it is.

You know that´s
always been my style.

Good work, Monty.

Nice one.

Imagine how happy he´ll be when
he signs the divorce papers.

Do you want me to smack him?
´Cause I will.

If anyone´s going to smack him,
it´ll be me.

Did you smack him?

Mm, I came this close.

Restrained, by your standards.

Yeah, I was thinking about it,

and I realized it´s usually me,
the one doing the walking.

Oh, that´s some good growing up
right there.

Doesn´t mean it´s too late
for me to smack someone.

On that note, let´s go
and catch some dinner.

Oh.
Sounds like a plan.

Sorry to hear about your bloke.

Such a great chef.

Bit of a knob, though.

Kia kaha.

Nothing else you want
to say to me?

We´ll bring you back some fish?

Yeah, that´ll be great.

Thanks.

I take it we have a guest.

GEORGE: Terry.
Just for the night.

Right, so when he gave
the restaurant the flick,

Hannah went the same way?

While in essence
that is what happened,

at least this time
he made his peace.

-With Hannah?
-Well, a kind of peace.

-Right, and he´s here?
-GEORGE: He´s in the shower.

We´re all going out to dinner.

We are?

Yep.
And dress nicely.

Nicely by Weld standards
or real-world standards?

-They´re one and the same.
-Not anymore, thanks to you.

IKE:
Got that.

STEVE:
They´re hard work, aren´t they?

-What are?
-STEVE: Women.

I mean, reading their minds,

trying to figure out
what they´re thinking.

Give me a bloke
in a suit any day.

Them I can read like books.

-Bugger.
-What?

I just realized
what Hannah meant.

Are you in trouble again?

No more than usual.

Come on, Steve-o.

Sit there.
You can drive.

-IKE: Yeah.
-ZAC: Come on, boy.

IKE:
All right.

[ Engine revs ]

Have you ever caught yourself
some wahine before?

Wahine?
Is that a type of fish?

[ Laughter ]

What sort of bait
do you need for that?

Is this a Turner brother thing?

Did George have
this effect on you?

Um, well, George and I
haven´t officially broken up,

so the question
doesn´t really...

You look pretty broken up to me.

Well, we´re taking a break
to think about things.

-I´m so sorry.
-What for?

You and George were really good
together, I thought.

Yeah, me too.

HANNAH: Are you even allowed
in this conversation?

You with your perfect bloke.

What, Woody from
planet Infuriating?

Okay, well, maybe not entirely
perfect, but he loves you.

That´s more than
any of us can manage.

Excuse me?
Hey, um, can I´ve a word?

Yes, you can.

No, Rae´s not
going to the police.

Cool.

No, not cool, because
Rae wants us to continue

to produce Denis masterpieces

to sell at this gallery
a friend of hers owns.

-Okay.
-No, not okay

and not going to happen.

Because I told her,
and I´m telling you now,

that if she wants Denis
to paint her a painting,

then she can ask him herself,

because as of today,
I don´t represent him.

But you can´t dump Denis.

He´s the only artist
who makes you any money.

I am well aware of that, Shay.

But there are things in my life

that are more important
than money,

like being able
to sleep at night.

I´m sorry.
It´s all my fault.

I kind of got carried away.

It´s understandable.
You´re young.

You should get fired up
about stuff, just not this.

[ Buzzing ]

Not in the mood, Ollie.

It´s the future.
Get used to it.

Not my future.

OLLIE:
All of our futures.

Hey, do you want
to do something tonight?

-I´m suddenly not working.
-Uh, not tonight.

Why not?

I just... I just can´t.

Okay, how about tomorrow?

I don´t know.
I´ll text you.

OLLIE:
Will you?

´Cause sometimes people
say they will and never do.

Look, Ollie, I just had
a really bad day, okay?

What, with the painting thing?

Mainly, yeah.

But we solved that, you and me,
when we broke in and stole it.

Reclaimed it.

Shay, all I´m saying
is we have a bond now,

you and me, and we need
to respect that bond.

I have to go.

-But you´ll text me, right?
-SHAY: Mm-hmm.

[ Sighs ]

You need to get dressed
for dinner.

-Something nice.
-And why?

GEORGE:
Terry´s leaving town.

But there´s a score
that needs to be settled first.

And this involves
dressing up why?

Because it´s that kind of place.

The whole painting thing,
it´s sorted, by the way.

GEORGE:
Is Katie okay?

Yeah.
She´s all right.

It was all me, all my fault.

I´m sorry.

Good.

Go get dressed.

[ Nomad´s "Love Will Call"
plays ]

♫ I got scared in the middle
of the night ♫

♫ Something ain´t right
in my head ♫

GEORGE:
The act of sharing food

is one of the fundamental
things about being human.

We break bread together.

Sometimes we do this
out of love.

♫ Facing all the pictures... ♫

Hey, hope you´re hungry.

And sometimes we do this
out of duty,

to keep the social order intact
and in the correct order.

Shouldn´t we wait for Robbie?

Robbie can eat
when he gets here.

Who needs a fancy restaurant
when Dad´s cooking, eh?

Thank you, Monty.
I think.

Sometimes food is sustenance,

the fuel that accompanies
and energizes a task

that must be completed.

-I found this one out back.
-KATIE: Bin it.

I think it´s an actual Denis.

Doesn´t matter.

Everything to do with him
and his paintings... gone.

-BILLY: Mum?
-Yes, sweetheart?

Isn´t Denis the only thing here
that makes us any money?

We´ll be fine.
Don´t you worry about that.

Can we light sparklers
on the bonfire?

We would be mad not to.

Or food is a peace offering,

a way of celebrating a truce.

Or of sorting out
old differences.

So the place is booked solid.

You´re lucky I could
squeeze you in.

SHAY:
So we see.

Okay, you two
make yourself at home.

We´ll be right back.

Do you need a hand?

Not tonight, mate.

It always struck me as odd

that dining with others
is the social norm,

given that sometimes
the actual act of eating...

is not the prettiest thing
we humans can do.

Dad, you eat like a pig.

It´s the way I was brought up.

Mum used to call dinnertime
"trough time."

SIOUXSIE:
Watching Grandma Norma

hoover up the turkey
every Christmas,

most terrifying thing
I´ve ever seen.

♫ When your faith slips away ♫

-♫ Your heart can´t take it ♫
-SHAY: Is that from Lindsay?

So what´s the deal with her?

She´s all right.

Okay, you were all, like,
cut up after Emma dumped you.

No, I wasn´t.

Plus you were trying
to be cool like Uncle Terry...

No.

So I forgave
your lapse of taste.

But enough´s enough, Arlo.
You´re way better than her.

Oh, well, how are things
with Ike, then?

Oh, that´s right, you´re
with your number-one fan now.

♫ Your faith slips away ♫

♫ Your heart can´t take it ♫

♫ All I want to be ♫

You know how everyone
thought you were nuts

for bringing the kids here?

Well, not everyone.

Well, yeah, they did.

They were wrong.

So Weld is good enough for me
but not for you.

I´m the free-range Turner.

[ Laughs ]

Food can also provide comfort,
solace,

be the fuel that keeps us going
to face another day.

If you want me to work tonight,
too bad. I´m busy.

Happy birthday.

You thought I´d forgotten,
didn´t you?

You wouldn´t be the only one.

Okay, well, I did,
but then I remembered,

which is the main thing.

Thanks.

Not the greatest birthday,
I guess.

I´ve had worse.

Actually, no.

No, I haven´t.

I can come over
if you need me to.

Nah, I´m all right.

I´m just sitting here
thinking about life

and where to from here.

And?

And I think I want to be a cop.

I´m serious.
I´d make a great cop.

[ Knock on door ]

I´m sure you would.

Hey, I´ve got someone
at the door. I have to go.

A tall, dark, handsome stranger.

Yeah, I wish.
I´ll see you tomorrow.

HANNAH: Yeah.

And...thanks.

[ Beep, phone thuds ]

Hey, man.

Are you drunk?

Do you know what you find
at the bottom of a bottle?

It´s something a little bit
like happiness,

not quite happiness but
a little bit like it, though.

Can I come in?

Like I´ve got a choice.

Food and the act of eating

can be anything you want them
or need them to be,

way more than just a meal.

Food can even be war.

The first dish our mother ever
taught us was macaroni cheese.

And ever since,
the disputes have raged.

GEORGE:
So tonight we sort it out.

And you´re gonna be the judges.

Without bias,
whilst also remembering

that your Uncle Terry
is a world-class chef

and not some hack
in the kitchen.

GEORGE:
Ignore him.

We need to know,
once and for all,

whose is the best
macaroni cheese in the world.

-Oh, in the world?
-Yes, Arlo, the world.

So, taste away.

And remember that family honor
is at stake here.

No pressure, then.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Constable Tom?

George, is Shay there with you?

Yeah, she´s here with me.

If it´s about the painting
thing, tell him it´s all sorted.

She says the painting
thing´s all sorted.

It´s not about
the stupid painting.

Is Ike with her?

No.

Why?

Of course, there is
a school of thought

that says food is only food,

and after the meal is consumed
and the dishes done,

the realities of life...

come crashing back in.

Do we have to do the dishes,
too?

Yes, you do, Lindsay.

Well, that was a lovely meal.
Thank you.

BIG MAC:
My pleasure.

And may I say, it´s been made
much more pleasurable

by having you here.

You coming into my world
like this, Jan, it´s been, um...

Well, the point is, um, if you
wanted to make this your home,

to share it with me...

you´d make me
the happiest man on the planet.

Sorry. Um...
[ Clears throat ]

Way out of line. Sorry.
Beg your pardon.

No, no, no, it´s not that.
That was lovely.

It´s just, um...

I think my waters have broken.

Oh.

Oh!

Monty!
Get the car!

Well, don´t just stand there!

FIONA: You know you´re breaking
the terms of your parole.

ROBBIE:
Yeah, I know.

And driving here, as well?

What the hell is going on
in your head?

Well, the thing is, Fi,
signing away the house today,

I realized I can´t go on
without you.

Oh, Robbie, please
don´t do this again.

No, please, just hear me out.

You´re the best thing
to ever happen in my life,

and I want to undo everything
that went wrong.

And kids, Fi.

I really want us to have kids,

like we used to talk about
back in the day, remember?

When it was good.

So what do you say?

That was so good.

-Oh, good.
-Thank you.

I´ll wash up.

You really are
as close to perfect

as a guy can get, aren´t you?

WOODY: Ha!
Yeah, I wish.

But, look, it´s definitely
something to aspire to.

See, right there,
perfect answer.

Will you marry me?

Uh...

Isn´t it generally the bloke
that gets to ask that question?

Oh, and you´re a traditional
sort of bloke, are you?

Okay.

All right.

Tracey Dennis,
what would you say

if I said, will you marry me?

Well, Jeff Woodson,
I would say...

Yeah?

Are you serious?

Yeah.

Well, then I would also say yes.

Did we actually just do this?

Yeah, I think we did.

[ Laughs ]

This calls for champagne!

Yes!

-I´ve got to call my mum!
-Call mum!

Yes!

[ Laughs ]
