VOICEOVER: Previously on The Heights...

Grab a bag and I'll take you to mine.

We don't know how long
you're going to be here.

I thought you might want more space.

I know I've missed my chance,

but I will regret it if
I don't say something.

I love you.

I'm looking into setting
up a safe injecting room.

Oh.

The last thing that Arcadia
needs is a shooting gallery.

Oh, that's an ignorant,
small-minded attitude.

We've worked hard to
rebuild our lives here.

This is home for everyone.

Now you're saying we have
to go start from zero

in a new suburb over an hour away?

Uncle, Aunty...

I'm gay.

- You don't mean what you say.
- I mean it.

- Are you sure?
- Yes.

What you talk of, it is haram!

Shh!

- You'll wake the girls.
- The girls must not know about this.

Look, no-one needs
to know about this, alright?

The girls, no-one at mosque.

- (MARYAM CRIES)
- Just us.

Right?

No, this is who I am and
I'm not hiding it anymore.

Uncle.

Where are you going?

(CRIES)

Aunty.

- (CRIES)
- Hey.

(CONTINUES CRYING)

I'm sorry.

- Is this...
- 50 bottles of Grandad's home brew.

That stuff is bottled depression.

I made a few alterations to the recipe.

Picked up a few brewing tips
while travelling Germany.

See, that shouldn't
sound as wanky as it does,

but when it's coming
out of your mouth...

Do you always have to take the piss?

(CHUCKLES) Hey, I take it. You make it.

- (CHUCKLES)
- A lot of it.

I'm taking a few
crates to Mum's as well.

Ha! Good luck with that.

Hey, if she wants a cut of the profit,
she'll agree.

- You're going to sell this?
- Yeah.

Heaps of pubs sell their
own home brew now.

It's worth looking into.

Okay, you're only this motivated

when you're trying to impress a girl

or you've just broken up with one.

I broke up with Amber.

Saw that coming.

And then told Ana I loved her.

Wait, what?! When?!

Last night.

And since you've clearly
spent the night working,

I'm assuming it didn't
go the way you planned.

There was no plan. I felt it, I said it.

And what did she say?

Well, I didn't stick
around for an answer.

Didn't expect her to say it back.

Okay, robot.

Why are you being so chill about this?

Because I was finally honest with her.

And...

And it feels really good.

- (MUZAK PLAYS ON SPEAKERPHONE)
- (DOOR OPENS)

Oh, what is that noise?

I'm on hold with the Department
of Living and Welfare.

- Ah.
- Mm.

You know, you're kind of
cute when you're multitasking.

Do you think you could juggle just,
like, one more thing?

I'm barely doing these two well.

- (DIAL TINE RINGS)
- Okay.

WOMAN: Department of
Living and Welfare. How may...

Uh... Hi. Uh... my name is Ana Novak.

My reference number is SN7403925.

- The Towers, Arcadia?
- That's right.

I lodged an urgent maintenance request.

Yes, our team is there now.

- Oh. The guy's there now?
- Correct.

Wow, that's great.

I guess I'll just mosey on over then.

- Okay.
- Thanks.

Goodbye.

- Your apartment's ready?
- Yeah, apparently.

You don't have to go, like,
right now, though, do you?

Better go make sure this
maintenance guy is actually working.

- I'll, um... I'll come with you.
- Oh, it's alright.

Uh... You've got way too much
stuff to take back. I'll drive.

Okay.

Look, I'm sorry, I couldn't wait
any longer. I should've warned you.

- That's not the problem.
- Then what?

You could've agreed, Ash.
Tried to keep them happy.

They're never gonna be happy about it.

I left you a few slices of fruit bread.

You better get to it before Laila does.

Thanks, Ash.

Tsk. Stupid thing.

(SIGHS)

- (KIDS LAUGH)
- RENEE: Off you go.

- LEONIE: Bye! Love you!
- Love you!

Ooh, both Frankie and
Noah at sleepovers tonight?

You should find yourself a hot date.

Ugh.

I'm so over men right now.

I'd rather dry-hump a cactus.

(CHUCKLES)

- But you...
- You want to dry-hump me?

(LAUGHS) Maybe after a few pinots.

But let's start with dinner first.

I've already made plans with Claudia.

Oh, okay, no worries.

You should join us.
We're checking out that new tapas bar.

I'm not really a fan of tapas.

(SCOFFS)

What? I don't have to
like Spanish finger food.

It was one disagreement.
You need to move on.

That's easy for you to say.

You weren't spoken to like an idiot

in front of the entire neighbourhood.

Come on, Renee.
You gave as good as you got.

How am I supposed to
be friends with someone

who thinks that I'm small-minded
for wanting to protect my children?

You and I butt heads
over heaps of issues.

Are you using your lawyer-y
tricks on me right now?

Maybe. But I'm also speaking sense.

So what, just never talk
about the injecting room?

Shouldn't be too hard.

Okay. I'll see you tonight.

(LAUGHS)

(BABY CRIES IN OTHER APARTMENT)

What the hell is this?

(READS) "Your apartment has
been declared uninhabitable."

I've been evicted.

Hi.

So weird. Leonie just texted to say
you're coming out with us tonight.

Yes, I hope you don't mind.
I'm kid-free and I love tapas.

Not at all. It's been ages.

Yeah.

What are you doing here?

- Meeting a real-estate agent.
- Oh, I'm the real-estate agent.

Oh, that's so funny, they told
me that I was meeting a Claudia

and they didn't give me a last name.

I've just raced here and I haven't
been briefed, so sorry about that.

Why are you interested
in a commercial space?

For a safe injecting room.

Right.

I didn't realise that the
plans were so advanced.

No, they're not.

I'm just getting all the informations
together for a proposal.

Well, let me show you through.

Thanks for dropping me off,
but you don't have to stay.

It might be a while.

I think I should. Might
get seen to quicker.

(SCOFFS) You think your
white maleness works here?

(CHUCKLES)

- Hi there.
- Hi.

What's the purpose of your visit today?

My flat has been declared uninhabitable.

Okay, you need to speak
to someone in Transfers.

That's a 15-minute wait.

Mate, you guys were supposed to
fix the problem, not boot her out.

Ana is being forced to
transfer against her will.

I see.

In that case, you need
to speak to someone in Appeals.

That's a, um... 50-minute wait.

Can you just put your
reference number in there?

(WOMAN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY OVER PA)

(MUSIC PLAYS LOUDLY IN VAN)

Oh, I thought you were Iris.

You thought I was a five-foot
angry Vietnamese woman?

That's her van.

Using it to move homebrew to Mum's.

I'm surprised she let you borrow it.

Me and Iris are tight.

- Oh, what the hell?!
- Oh!

Oh, Shannon!

- Why's it her fault?
- She packed the van.

You didn't hear any glass
smashing or anything?

I was listening to the radio.

And... maybe singing along.

(CHUCKLES) Alright, I'll grab
some cleaning stuff from upstairs.

Oh, you're a legend.
And a few plastic bags if you have them.

Yeah.

(PUFFS)

(GROANS)

(BRAKES SCREECH)

(BIRDS SQUAWK)

The space has potential.
Could be bigger.

How big does it need to be?

Ideally, you'd be able
to fit about 10 cubicles

and an aftercare section.

What's that?

Oh, so people can come
and have a cup of tea

and a chat after injecting.

It's a good chance for
staff to get to know them

and educate them on health issues.

Claudia, this is far too close to
a residential area. It's not safe.

Despite the perception, heroin
use isn't linked to violent crime.

Well, what about theft?

I have things stolen from
my yard on a weekly basis.

- Really?
- Yes, really.

And the only time that things
aren't missing

is when I'm finding junkies.

The man you found at your home open?

Well, if this space had existed,
he might have injected here instead.

He still needs to buy the stuff,

and something like this will
just encourage drug dealers

to come to town.

The deals are happening
with or without the room.

You can't prevent that,
but you can prevent people from dying.

(SCOFFS) I'm sorry, Claudia,

nothing you say is going to convince
me that this is a good idea.

Yeah, maybe because what I'm
saying is a bit too beyond you.

- (PHONE RINGS)
- (SCOFFS)

Hello?

Um...

Yeah, yes, although my proposal
wasn't quite ready for another look.

I'll be there.

I had an unexpected window,
so I thought I'd use it to check in.

I got the impression the other
day you were disinterested.

I shouldn't let our history

colour my view of what is
actually a very sound proposal.

Well, I've been flat out
trying to strengthen it,

gathering the support of
various community groups.

Great.

There are two main roadblocks to
setting up a safe injecting room.

Local law enforcement is the first.

And what's the second?

Chamber of Business.

Now, I have a meeting
planned with them next week

and I think you should join me.

Does this mean you're backing the room?

Well, there are a number of
passionate advocates out there,

but they're hardly going to get

the conservative
residents over the line.

You, on the other hand, as a
dedicated mother and a local doctor,

you would make a very legitimate
face for the campaign.

No-one's ever called my
face legitimate before.

(CHUCKLES) I like it.

WOMAN: (OVER PA) Ticket number G9.

I have not waited this long for
anything since The Annihilator.

It's a 100m vertical-speed
slide at Wet'n'Wild.

You hate heights.

That is true.

Um... But, you know,
I was trying to impress a girl.

Trying to get lucky.

It annihilated your chances.

It did, did, did.

WOMAN: (OVER PA) Ticket number G7...

- Ooh, that's us.
- Please proceed to counter five.

You're the Appeals Officer?

No, he's just gone on his lunch break.

Are you trained to handle appeals?

Everyone's trained in everything here.

We're like triathletes.

Right, let's have a look at your file.

So, your apartment was attended by
our maintenance man this morning.

He replaced the water pipe.

If it's fixed, then what's the problem?

There's wall and floor damage.

It's not like there's structural damage,
though.

No, but it's a health and safety one,

because wet carpet leads to mould.

We'll start the process of relocation.

Wait... What?

There's nothing wrong with my apartment

apart from some damp carpet.

Plenty of available
one-bedders in Marshall Hills.

I don't want to move.

I'm sorry, but this...
this is all we can offer right now.

RYAN: So it's my fault?

Why can't you just admit you
forgot to use the occy strap?

(SCOFFS)

Always has to have the final word.

- KAM: Shannon, huh?
- So pig-headed.

Hamid might worry if you
come in reeking of beer.

I can have a chat to him if you want.

He's got bigger things to worry about.

(CHUCKLES) What's Ash done now?

You know, Ash reminds me of Shannon.

Yeah?

They do what they want, never listen

and we're left to pick up the pieces.

Can't stay mad at them.

She makes me laugh,
gave me a pretty sweet little nephew

and she's always looked out for me.

Yeah, but you're the big brother.

Well, it's supposed to work that way,

but Shannon's always been the one
to look out for me, kept me safe.

Yeah.

Hey, have you ever noticed, um...
Ash's hand?

In his left finger he's got nerve
damage. He can't straighten it.

Did he cop it at school too?

It was on the boat from Indonesia.

Basically there was too
many people on board

and we both ended up in the water.

And I didn't have the
strength to hold on, but Ash did.

He held on to me with one arm
and the railing with the other...

all through the night while
waves were crashing on us.

The, uh... navy picked us
up the next day.

Treated us all for exposure,
but Ash's hand can't be fixed.

He can't be fixed.

He'll be that way forever.

Anyway, I think we're pretty much done.

I think just leave the doors
open and let it air out.

Great. Thanks for your help.

No worries.

I've called this emergency meeting

because Ana Novak has just been evicted.

WOMAN: What?!

Yesterday,
a burst pipe flooded her flat.

It's been fixed, but Housing
have declared the flat unsafe.

This is the start of us
all being booted out.

The government are trying to
reduce the number of tenants

to make the Towers more attractive to

the private buyers sniffing around.

It's a proven tactic and they'll
use any excuse they can find.

We are all moving targets.

In future, don't call maintenance
if you have a problem.

We'll work together to fix it, mm?

Don't let your family or friends
stay for more than two weeks.

In fact... best they don't stay at all.

Uncle.

Did you hear?

Ana Novak has been evicted.

The Department of Living and
Welfare want to get rid of us all,

and, uh... Ana is the first to go.

They're looking for excuses
to send the others away now.

You living here is against the rules.

If they find out,
they will evict us too.

I can't have my family put at risk.

Not again.

You must go.

We'll be careful, Uncle.
No-one has to find...

It's alright. It's okay.

I respect that.

Can I at least say goodbye
to Maryam and the girls?

I think it's better
you leave right away.

Yeah.

Wh...

- I should have made a booking.
- Ah, it's fine.

- Who needs tapas anyway?
- Not me.

Not Renee. (CHUCKLES)

- HAZEL: Good evening.
- BOTH: Hi!

Hey, thanks again for
your help with the scones.

They were a hit with the
Ladies Pastoral Guild.

Jam and cream sweeten any negotiation.

Ooh, maybe you should
take some next week.

Yeah, Claudia and Juliana Worsfield

are going to face off with
the Chamber of Business.

If we get them onside,

it will be a huge coup for
the injecting-room proposal.

I'm surprised that
woman's supporting it.

I'm not. Pollies don't do
anything without an agenda.

Oh, absolutely.

The optics are great,

makes the party look like
they have a social conscience.

She'll be using that injecting room

to distract us from her plan
to knock down the Towers.

You know they've started the
process of kicking us out?

No, I didn't.

You lie down with dogs...

you get fleas.

EVAN: Got time to eat before you go?

You know you can stay here for
as long as your need, right?

Thanks.

Like, uh... permanently, even.

Like, move in together?

Yeah, I mean, I'm not offering
because of what's happened.

I've just...

I've been thinking about for a while.

Hm.

I mean, you're getting
forced out anyway, so...

I've got a continuous lease
with Living and Welfare.

I inherited it from Mum.

It's an assurance that I'll
always have a roof over my head.

Yeah, it's like a security blanket.

Yeah.

And if you were to give it up?

There's no getting it back.

Yeah, but, I mean,

you're gonna have to give it
up eventually, though, right?

Like, what if we were to get married,
have kids, all that jazz?

Unless, um...

You never envisaged that
kind of future with me.

Could you?

Maybe. Look, this is... this is a
really awkward time to bring it up.

Feels like the perfect time.

I mean, I've got to get to work.

We'll talk more, okay?

I promise.

I'll catch ya.

- (BABY COOS)
- Hey, Patch.

Do you know what this is?

- (BABY SQUEALS)
- That's right.

It's called an 'occy strap'.
Can you say 'occy strap'?

Now, you use this to tie things
down so they don't smash and break.

- (BABY COOS)
- Mm. It's so simple, huh?

Mm.

Seriously?!

(LAUGHS) Maybe you should
have tied those down too.

- Ha-ha-ha.
- (CHUCKLES)

- Come on!
- Are we ready to head?

Yep, got everything.

Can you lock up as you go?

Can't. Customer out there. Just arrived.

- (SIGHS) I've already done the...
- It's Ana.

Uh... What is she here for?

Don't stuff it up this time...

you gumnut.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Just knocked off?

I called in sick.

Are you?

No.

Toothbrush.

- SULLY: Eh?
- I forgot my toothbrush.

I'm not lending you mine.

No-one's borrowing toothbrushes, Mum.
Don't worry.

Yeah. You borrowed
my lady shaver before.

That was one time.

Yeah, when you returned it,
it looks like a dead spider.

I'm actually tutoring Laila tomorrow,

maybe I can grab it for you.

Just grab a new one from the shop.

I'll pay for it.

There's no need.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Hey, thanks for convincing
her I could stay.

I didn't. She said you could
stay as long as you need.

You both can.

You, uh... forgot this.

RYAN: When I saw you earlier,
I wanted to say something,

but everyone was crowded around.

That's okay.

I get it.

Ah. Mr Bird. We are roomies now.

I am living with a budgie
and you are living with Evan.

I don't want to.

I want my own place.

I'm not ready to say goodbye.

I've lived in those
Towers for over 20 years.

They've seen every
Christmas and birthday...

All the big events in my life.

Heading to high school with Shannon...

smoking ciggies in the laundry...

my first kiss.

That was on the swings at the park.

It was in my bedroom closet.

Uh... I think I would
remember. I was there.

Were you watching me and Kenny Mack?

What?!

You said I was your first kiss!

Girls lie.

Oh! (CHUCKLES)

Bedroom closet, eh?

Mum busted us. (CHUCKLES)

She chased him out with
the vacuum-cleaner stick.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Fastest I ever saw her move.

I nursed Mum in that flat.

(SNIFFLES)

I know this sounds weird, but...

I still feel her presence there.

That's not weird.

Her cigarette burns are
still on the window sill

where she would rest it...

watching her soaps.

(SNIFFLES)

Hey, we'll fight Housing's decision.

We'll take it all the way,

the papers, change.org,
A Current Affair.

Even if I do get my flat back,
I'm just on borrowed time.

We all are.

This community...

they're the only family I have left.

(SNIFFLES)

Hazel, Aunty Pam...

hell, even Watto.

Shannon.

You.

You're home.

- (CHUCKLES) Hey.
- Hey.

(BOTH LAUGH)

- (LOUD BANG)
- Ow!

KAM: Oh! Watch it.

(INHALES SHARPLY)

Oh, mother...

You alright?

Mother... Hit my toe against the table.

- It kills.
- Please don't start crying again.

- I'm crying?
- Yeah.

No, I was kidding! Ow!

(LAUGHS)

Get off, dickhead! No!

(BOTH LAUGH)

- (SIGHS)
- Yeah.

(SIGHS DEEPLY) Oh, man.

(SIGHS)

Look how far we've come.

From one lounge room to another.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Wake up, lazy bones.

Let's get some brekkie.

Ryan.

Ryan.

This isn't funny.

Ryan?

Ryan!

Ryan!

Wake up!

Ryan! Ryan! Ryan!

You want our parents to be together?

Why, of course, brother-boyfriend.

We could use your help getting
the rest of the furniture out.

It was a team effort,
guided by our fearless leader, Evan.

Evan?

- Shannon, I'm so sorry.
- Where are they?

Your mum and Max are just through there.

And Ana?

She... she called in sick last night.
She's not answering her phone.

Hey! Promise you won't get mad.
