[upbeat music playing]

[Ben] This, this is a man's way

to wake up.

In a man's bedroom,

in a man's house.

No wait,

his castle.

Yep, old Benny boy is really going places.

Things have changed since I became a man

of the world.

No hassles.

No boundaries.

To think only days ago...

-Mmm. -Mmm.

Let's do it in here.

In the bedroom.

The bedroom's boring.

-[light switch flicks] -I don't know.

-Has its moments. -Dad!

-What? -Seriously?

-Loser! -[both] Do you still live

at home with your mom and dad? [laughs]

Don't mind me. I'm just getting a Milo.

As you were.

[Ben] Look, I get that living with the olds

had its benefits.

But how good is it to finally get

your own place.

Live your own life.

Take responsibility.

Carbo!

[clatters]

So it's official.

Big sis moves back home.

Can't hack it in the real world.

What, you think that's the real world.

The calamari castle.

Hey I'm not the one sleeping in my old bed.

Flatting with, uh, the tidy twins.

[Sammy] Race you to the shower.

It's called exercise, Ben.

You should try it sometime.

Yeah whatever.

And if you're Mr. Independent,

what are you doing here?

-Have you got any milk, Dad? -Oh.

[laughs]

I get that you needed to shift from your old joint.

That whole Daniel thing. I get that.

Very generous of you.

I'm a great guy.

So I read on Facebook.

-[Ben] Hey, granddad. -Hi.

You want to watch the match with me later?

I mean, no pressure.

If you wanted to, that's all.

The invitation's there.

-I'll see. -[Ben] Yeah, no worries.

[door closes]

[Ben] Is he okay?

He's been keeping to himself pretty much.

But seriously, Rach, why are you here?

-What do you mean? -[Ben] Ah, you've got

a good job, you're making good money--

Not that what I make is any of your business.

You've got a choice is what I mean.

Why would you want to come back to the joint

where you have to queue for the dunny

after dad eats eggplant?

I have my reasons.

Well this I have to hear.

Anyway, like you can dish it out

at the moment.

-What do you mean? -You and Carbo are totally

transparent with this whole Melissa thing.

Thing? What thing?

There's no thing.

Yes there is.

You just switch straight from one mother-figure

to another.

Are you serious? Melissa?

-[Rachel] Yep. -Don't be off.

She's not a mother figure.

No, but you two just expect her to do

all the cooking and cleaning for you, right?

-As if. -[Rachel] Probably already got

the French-maid's outfit on lay-by.

You know, she'd probably look all right in one of those.

[dramatic music playing]

-Have you seen my car keys? -No.

Have you seen the mess Ben made here?

Oh, uh, that was me. Sorry, I'll clean up later.

Ah, here they are. Terrific. Catch you tonight.

Uh, Melissa?

What were you cooking?

-Nachos. -Nachos?

-[Melissa] Hey, Ben. -Hey.

Ew, what went on here?

Did something explode?

Melissa made nachos.

[Ben] Hmm, and spewed up afterwards

-and finger painted with it. -Yeah.

-Nice. -[Carbo] What do you think

-you're doing? -Nothing.

Oh, no, you're cleaning up.

Just thought I'd scrape off

the cheese stuff before it solidified.

-Drop the sponge. -The microwave's going

-to get stuck to the bench. -Drop it!

You're doing the face. Don't do the face.

In this scenario, the brotherhood

does not crack.

The sisterhood cracks.

You've cracked.

If you clean up this disaster area,

we lose.

She'll expect it every time.

Trust me, I'm Greek, mate.

We need to wait this one out. Hmm?

It's mind games.

This is not your responsibility.

[doorbell rings]

[Ben] But this was...

Hey.

You know what you were asking before

about why I moved back.

Well, it's because it feels safe.

Which is why I need to ask you something.

Something big.

Okay.

I'm meeting someone tonight at the Boat Club.

Right. And?

You can't tell mom and dad.

And under no circumstances serve me alcohol.

I want to keep a clear head.

Who went to the flat?

Me and Dad.

Are you sure you want to be living back with your parents?

It's the best thing to do for now.

-Okay, well it's up to you. -Yeah, it is.

I know why you wanted to meet me here.

Public venue, got your brother here

to keep an eye on you.

It's pretty obvious.

Rach, it's me.

Nothing's changed. It's still me.

The guy who beat up my father?

That was some other guy.

That will never happen again.

-I promise. -You hit me, Dan.

Do you know what that stuff is doing to you?

I mean, I'm going cold turkey.

You don't have to believe me. It's the truth.

I'm truly, truly sorry and it will never

happen again.

Well, it doesn't really matter anyway.

What do you mean it doesn't matter? Of course it matters.

It's everything.

It doesn't matter

because I'm not coming back.

Now I wanted to meet tonight

so we could part on better terms.

-Please don't do this. -I didn't.

-You did. -Once.

[Rachel] And that was enough.

[dramatic music playing]

Well, I'll be here when you're ready.

Will you ever be ready?

[dramatic music playing]

Are you okay?

Not really.

That looked intense.

It was.

So, lemonade?

Mineral water?

-I am so sorry. -[Ben] Shh.

I'm an idiot.

Shut up will you, you'll wake mom and dad.

I wrecked it for you.

You were going to pick up that girl.

-It's okay. -The really slutty one.

She wasn't that slutty.

She so was.

And I wrecked it for you.

You were super keen, I saw you.

Stupid sister.

You're not stupid.

Yeah, no, no, I'm fine.

I'm fine, I'm just... I'm just tired.

Nothing to worry about.

[Ben] Just sleep.

-I'll catch you tomorrow. -I'll catch you tomorrow.

No, no, no, to you too.

This was heavy duty stuff.

Little bro playing big bro.

I hardly recognized myself.

[gasps] What are you doing?

-Well, what's going on? -How long have you

been standing there? What are you, mental?

-Shh. Is Rachel all right? -Just...she's fine.

She's just had a few drinks.

-You sure? -She'll need a Berocca

in the morning if that's what you're asking.

All right, well thanks for bringing her home.

No stress. Go to bed will you?

This hanging-around- the-hallways thing is creepy.

-A mad house in here tonight. -Oh! Oh, Dad.

[sighs] What are you doing up?

Sitting.

[Julie] How long for?

Oh, a bit.

You hole up in your room all day

and then scare the life out of me

sitting here in the dark. It's not healthy.

No, you just worry about the kids.

I'm fine.

Have you been out?

What is this, the third degree?

Dad, it's 1:00 in the morning.

I was thinking about a walk.

Are you sure you're all right?

I told you, I'm fine.

Okay, well,

try and get some sleep, okay?

Mmm. Night, love.

Goodnight, Dad.

[dramatic music playing]

[Dave] Are all the little ducklings accounted for?

[Julie] Oh stop it.

I thought you'd finished with all that.

[sighs] All what?

Being a mother?

Rachel's hardly a teenager anymore.

Well, she's certainly drinking like one.

[chuckles]

[Julie] [sighs] It's not funny.

[Dave] You know, the big irony here was when she was living

with Daniel, you slept like a baby.

-Oh. -[Dave] Out of sight--

Never out of mind, never.

And it's not just Rachel. Dad's out there

communing with the dark.

Probably can't sleep.

It's an old man thing.

Jules, Jules, you're really just going

-to have to let go. -[laughs] Oh, yeah,

this from a man who channeled the Incredible Hulk

when someone laid a finger on his daughter.

Yeah, well, that's different.

Oh, is it?

I don't know. It's just hard to know

where we all fit now as a family.

I mean, everyone's home but we're not connected.

We're not a unit. You know what I mean?

Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack.

[sighs]

Quack, quack, quack, quack...

[Julie laughing]

-[dramatic music playing] -[crickets chirping]

[farting]

Stick a cork in it, Carbo. You'll wake Melissa.

Melissa. Hi.

-Sorry, I thought... -Yeah, I heard.

-Sorry. -Hey, thanks

for the chivalrous gesture but, uh,

I'm a nurse, right?

I can handle bodily functions.

Night, Ben.

[Ben] Full on.

Melissa's not like any girl

I've ever met before.

She's just like one of the guys.

Okay, so, maybe not exactly like a guy.

[door closes]

[Ben] This could get complicated.

Nothing.

Then where are you off to?

Toilet.

What is it, a members-only dunny now?

I don't know what you're on about.

Just want a slash.

Your breath's minty.

I said it once and I'll say it again.

You. Can't.

-Root. Melissa. -I'm not rooting anyone.

No, but you're giving it a red hot go.

Look at you. As if they'd run out

of chicky-babes down at the Boat club.

Carb, give it a rest.

You smell like you've been hit

by CK for Men truck.

Who looks this good at 9:00 in the morning?

I know how this works, mate.

One thing will lead to another and all of a sudden,

you two will be shacked up and I'll be Carbo the loser,

and I won't have that.

-Carb, you're talking crap. -Am I?

Benno, you pork her

and the whole household structure implodes!

You think she's a bit of a slob now?

Wait until she's got you

wrapped around her little finger.

She won't do a thing.

You're a crack up. Seriously.

Can I go to the dunny now?

[upbeat music playing]

We're out of milk again.

Don't stress.

You, um, up to anything tonight?

Um, don't know. No plans. You?

Oh, might go and grab a quiet drink somewhere.

-Oh, yeah? -You should come.

Nothing weird or anything.

Just get to know each other

as housemates.

And what about Carbo?

Who?

Just seems a little bit weird going out

for friendly housemate drinks

without the other housemate.

Nah he's-he's busy, that's all.

-Doing what? -Judo.

Didn't know he did judo.

Totally into it.

So we're on then?

Sure.

Actually, I know a great place to go.

By the way, if you're going out to the shop.

Um, could you get some OJ too?

Back in 10:00.

-Oh Ben, Ben. -Hey, Mom. Call me later okay?

No, no, no, just look two things.

Um, we're having a barbie tomorrow,

family celebration now that everyone's home.

Sure, sounds good. What's the other thing?

[Melissa] And some teabags... oh, hi.

Um, look if you wouldn't mind just keeping an eye

on your sister, generally.

I mean, you saw the state she got into last night.

-Um, Earl Grey please. -Sure, but I can't tonight.

-Why not? Where? -I'm going out.

Oh, just a nice place I know.

-She should come with us. -Oh, really?

-Oh that would be great. -Yeah, no worries.

[Julie] She's been going through

-a bit of a hard time lately. -Mom!

[Melissa] Well we'd love her to come.

-We'll make sure she's okay. -Thank you.

-Earl Grey. -Earl Grey.

[upbeat music playing]

[Melissa] I used to bowl back home.

You'll love it.

That's us over here.

Um, when you said, "quiet drink..."

Hey, get with the program.

Bowling's cool. You've been before,

-haven't you? -[Rachel] Ah, not really.

Um, so you guys want a drink?

I was thinking we could start with softies.

Uh, actually make mine a red wine.

Cab sav, merlot, whatever.

Make that two.

In your own time.

You're okay with this?

Yeah sure.

So, must be weird living back home with your folks.

Oh it's all right.

How long have you lived away for?

Since I went to uni, about six years.

Oh, six years of freedom.

What made you give that up?

It's a long story.

Come on Ben, we're thirsty.

Hey can I get a... Unbelievable.

Hey, what does it take to get noticed around here?

I wouldn't have thought you'd have any trouble

-getting noticed. -What's that supposed to mean?

Did you see that guy? What a creep.

What? Where are the drinks?

The guy in the striped shirt.

He tried to hit on me.

[Rachel] Hit on you how?

[Ben] How do you think? In a sex way.

-So did he grope you? -No.

Well, did he stick his tongue in your ear?

[Ben] Don't be an idiot.

-What then? -He smiled at me.

-[Rachel] Oh. -Oh. Call the waambulance.

[Ben] Well, you weren't there! It was the way that he did it.

Let me get this right. Your problem is that

-you were hit on by a guy. -Do I look gay to you?

Do I look like I'm interested in having sex with men?

Ben, get over yourself. Girls have to deal with that

kind of stuff all the time and we manage just fine

without being jerks to people.

-A jerk? -Yeah, well could you not have

just said thanks but no thanks?

I mean, honestly, don't be so uptight.

I'm not uptight.

I saw Brokeback Mountain.

-Now the truth comes out. -[Ben] Oh, very funny.

I'm just calling it how I see it.

And you're seeing it like some misogynistic homophobe.

-What? -[Melissa] Look,

there's gay people everywhere, Ben.

Deal with it.

[Rachel] Okay, I'm going to get the drinks.

-Give me a 20. -What?

I'm getting a bottle.

We don't need a bottle.

Oh, speak for yourself.

You were supposed to be looking after her.

I was. I did.

So you get her completely wasted.

Is that your way of dealing with her problems?

[Ben] We had a bottle of wine between three of us.

So how come she was vomiting till 3:00 this morning?

Maybe she had food poisoning.

I'm not an idiot.

That line still going to work on me?

I don't know why she spewed, okay?

She seemed fine when we left the bar.

You know what? I specifically asked you, Ben.

Specifically.

You'd think by now you'd have learnt

some sense of responsibility.

Come on Rachel, time to get up. Chop, chop.

Rachel, come on sweetheart, get up.

I need your help in...

the kitchen.

[dramatic music playing]

-[door closes] -[clattering]

-Let it go already. -Sorry?

You've made your point.

-Only about 20 times. -I don't know

-what you're talking about. -So, you're just mad

at the crockery? Those plates can be pretty annoying.

-You need to get out more. -Why?

Because I don't dig gay guys. Is that a big deal?

Well, now you mention it, yes actually.

-How come? -Because I can't believe

someone in this day and age would have

such a backwash attitude.

What rock have you been living under?

You are unbelievable. You really are.

Just because someone hits on you, doesn't mean

you have to be a complete moron about it.

-I was a moron? -Uh-huh!

I just said I wasn't interested. Is that a crime?

It was the way you said it.

-[Ben] Oh, that is the most... -Most what?

Female thing I've ever heard.

I take it that's supposed to be an insult.

You're making this way bigger than it has to be.

Drop the attitude, Ben.

It's getting you nowhere.

[Carbo] Morning, Mel.

So, what's up her bum?

She's a woman.

She made a move on you, eh?

-What? -Come on. Details.

As if I'd be interested in a ball-tearer like her.

-She's yours, mate. -[Carbo] Oh, no,

no complications, remember?

-Housemate rules. -[Ben] What's complicated?

You can have her. I don't care.

So you will join us, won't you?

-Jules... -[Julie] Oh Dad,

it's a family barbecue.

I just don't know if I feel like it.

But it's just going to be us.

It's just us and the kids.

Come on, it'll be lovely.

Well, this still isn't about the neighbors and the...

[Rachel] Morning.

Well, that's the veggies done.

I'll just get these out to Dave.

I'm worried about him, Mom.

[utensils clatters]

Oh, careful.

Do you have to make so much noise?

Well, not if the person who was supposed

to be helping me had dragged herself out of bed

at a reasonable hour.

It's half past 11:00, Rachel.

You've been asleep half the day.

It's a Saturday morning, Mom.

I've been working hard and things have been tough.

God, cut me some slack.

If I'd known I was moving in with the secret police,

I might have reconsidered.

Well, do you think the secret police

would be keeping an eye on your late-night

vodka drinking? Or would they let that pass?

So, now you're sneaking around my room?

Whatever happened to privacy?

Well, you were vomiting until dawn.

Even if I wanted to, I couldn't ignore it.

-I had food poisoning. -Oh, don't you start.

What?

Oh, it's pretty sinister, don't you think?

-Spying like that. -Look, I am worried about you,

-okay? -Yeah, well,

there's no need to be, okay?

It's my business.

[Julie] Oh, no, not those napkins, Rach,

the blue ones. Thanks.

Here you are, dad.

What am I supposed to do with these?

[Julie] Oh, I don't know, hand them round.

Look, I'm sorry about before. I, you know--

-Julie. -And that's the last I'll say

on the matter.

I'm glad you're here.

Chip?

-No thanks. -Hey Dad, Grandad.

[Dave] Hey, mate.

Just, uh, put some alfoil on those.

They're done.

-You're up then? -Not yet.

Welcome to hell.

[woman laughs]

[indistinct chatter]

We can't leave straight after lunch.

Why not? Mom just wants us to make an appearance.

I'd call that making an appearance.

-Hey, what's going on? -Hey.

-Nothing. -Tell him.

Well, we've got this cocktail thing.

It's my friend's twenty first

and we're bailing here at 1:30.

-You can't bail. -Ah, here we go.

You know how important today is to mom.

She wants this to be a big family thing.

[Nathan] What, you want me to hang around

and play 'happy families'?

Knock yourself out, we've got somewhere else

-to be. -[Ben] You're gonna ditch mom

for some wanker's drinks party?

Where's your sense of responsibility?

That's really rich coming from you, Ben.

[Ben] Hey, I'm responsible.

[Nathan] Look, just because you can't cut the cord,

doesn't mean the rest of us have to be like that.

-Nathan. -No, I'm just saying it

how it is.

Sammy and I moved back on our own terms

and that means we can come and go as we choose.

Come on, mate.

You've always been a tosser,

but this is going a bit too far.

Mom really needs you here today.

-Oh, hello you two. -[Sammy] Hi.

-[Nathan] Hey, Mom. -You look gorgeous.

-[Sammy] Oh, thanks. -Mom, this looks awesome.

-All this food looks great. -Oh. Thanks.

Um, you need to get some alfoil on the snags

-or they're going to go cold. -Oh, okay.

-Where is the alfoil? -Um...

-Here. -Knock yourself out, tosser.

Okay, come on you two.

Here we go.

Now look, just before we eat, I'd like to say something.

Oh, make it quick. These chops will get cold.

Yeah, I will, I promise.

Okay, um, I just wanted to say how thrilled I am

that we're all here together today as a family.

I mean, your dad and I know that, um,

a lot's changed recently,

and we've had some tough times.

But I honestly think that together

we'll be able to get through this.

We just need to support each other,

to listen and communicate.

I know it sounds a bit sentimental,

but it's the truth so, um, anyway a toast to you,

my beautiful family and warm chops.

-I love yous all. -Well put.

-[Julie] Cheers. -[Ted] Cheers.

-Cheers. -[Dave] Cheers, darling.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

-[Dave] Chop? -[Sammy] Love one, Dave.

-This looks great. -[Dave] Go on, take the chop.

[Ben]If mom's happy family lunch

was an exercise in optimism,

there was an even bigger one going on next door.

Carbo's game, I'll give him that...

for an idiot.

So Mel...

settling in all right?

-What? -You know, to the house.

You know, feeling at home and stuff.

Sure, I guess.

And everyone's made you feel welcome?

-Who's everyone? -I don't know.

Ben?

He's all right when he's not being a loser.

Oh, I mean, that's a bit harsh.

You know, I thought you two might've...

-might've you know, -Might've what?

Thought you two might've hit it off.

-Me and Ben? -Mm.

-Get serious. -Really?

Not my type.

Right.

-Mom, that was great. -Yeah.

-[Julie] Oh. -And on that note,

-we'd better be heading off. -[Julie] No. Already?

No we don't... we don't have to go yet.

[Ben] Stay, Nathan. You might start enjoying yourself.

[Ted] I might head in too. Bit tired.

Uh, you sure you've had enough to eat?

Yeah, I didn't get too much sleep last night.

Think I'll have a bit of a kip.

[Julie] Okay.

-So, you two as well? -Yes.

People to do, places to see. You know how it is.

[Julie] Yeah, I know how busy you are.

It's been lovely. Thank you so much

-for making the effort. -It's no big deal.

-You're kidding me. -Don't start.

[Ben] We haven't even cleared the table.

Everyone's finished eating.

Grandad's gone. Lunch is over, mate.

Unless of course you want us to stay and help clean up?

-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. -Yeah. Oh, no, no, no, no, no,

it's fine. No, you two go.

-[Nathan] Okay. See you, fam. -[Julie] Bye.

[Sammy] Bye. Thanks for lunch, Julie.

Oh, well.

Can I get you anything?

Cheese and biscuits? Beer?

I'm right, thanks.

You seem tense.

-Are you serious? -What?

Of course I'm tense.

You're invading my personal space.

Well, I just thought you could use a massage.

I've got magic fingers...

if you get my drift.

Sadly, I think I do.

[sniffing]

You did not just smell my hair.

What's wrong with that?

-I'm done playing games. -Lucky me.

Let's just get this out in the open.

I'm not looking for anything serious,

and neither are you.

What say you clean up the kitchen table

and we'll do it right here?

I swear I won't tell Ben.

Swear you won't tell Ben? I said I wouldn't.

You know, I thought you were giving me signals!

I was. They were saying get stuffed.

Oh, you chicks are crazy.

I'll never understand you.

Our loss I guess.

I meant it about telling Ben.

I mean, I'll never hear the end of it if he finds out.

Keep your pants on. I won't tell Ben.

Though I might have a few conditions.

[Ben] What? Can you just...

You sure you need another one?

What, are you counting?

-It's a barbecue. -Okay, well, last one, okay?

Mm.

I'm going to get Grandad.

-[Dave] Don't do that, love. -Why not?

If it's supposed to be a big bang-up family thing,

-he should be here. -[Julie] Well, no,

he's having some quiet time.

How come?

Well he... What's wrong with him anyway?

He barely said a word all lunch.

No, he's fine.

Everyone's thinking it, Mom,

but no one's telling us anything.

I'm serious.

How come Grandad's staying with us?

How come he's not living at his own place anymore?

[Julie] Look he's just... He's sad, okay?

Oh, come on, there's more to it than that.

[Julie] Look, he's sad. Look, just leave it, okay?

Yeah I know, it's sad.

But he's got to get over it.

-I thought he was. -Look--

You go on about getting us all together,

about being a big family and being open and stuff,

but whenever you want secrets, you get to pick which ones.

It's so typical.

Just drop it, all right?

[dramatic music playing]

Come on, dad, I'm only asking--

Don't look at me.

I'm only asking

because I think we have a right to know.

He's not himself, dad. Something's going on.

[dramatic music playing]

Well?

[knocks on door]

[Rachel] Grandad?

Hey, how are you?

-Bit tired, love. -[Rachel] Mm, yeah.

Dad was just telling us.

You've got some things on your mind.

And I just wanted to say...

it's fine by me.

By all of us.

We understand.

We don't think any differently of you.

You're still our gorgeous Grandad.

In fact, I think it's lovely.

Really lovely.

Think what's lovely?

Wearing Nan's clothes.

Oh, stupid neighbours.

What do they know?

Anyway look, I know you're tired

but you can join us if you like.

We're just here, just the family,

having a glass of wine.

No pressure if you don't want to,

but I just wanted to say what I said.

That's all.

We love you no matter what.

[dramatic music playing]

[Ben] Ooh. I don't think I can fit any more, Mom.

-Oh. -No room.

Come on, there's always room for pavlova.

-Hey, where's Rachel? -Not sure.

Bathroom.

-Oh, I'm too full. Too full. -No, come on.

It's all right, I talked to him and he's fine.

I don't think he'll join us.

He is tired but he's fine.

Who are you talking about?

I said, "don't worry about it."

We don't care if he wears fish-nets

and suspenders so long as he's happy.

-What? -That was private.

-I told you. -Oh, great.

What?

Don't you think you've had enough?

[dramatic music playing]

[Julie] Dad? Dad?

[dramatic music playing]

Dad!

Mom, I'm so sorry.

-I wasn't thinking. -[Julie] Oh it's...

It really doesn't matter to me.

Well, it matters to Grandad.

Look, can we just find him

and then I'll throttle you, all right?

-[Ben] Well, where do we look? -I don't know, darling.

Just drive around. Keep your eyes peeled.

I'll try the cemetery and maybe the coastal walk.

[Ben] Well, what do I do if I find him?

Ah, thank you. Well, just talk to him.

Well, what if he doesn't want to talk?

Oh, I don't know, darling.

Then just keep an eye on him and...

call me on the mobile, all right?

[Ben] You don't think he's gonna do anything stupid?

Oh Ben, don't. Look, let's just find him.

[Dave] You are not driving anywhere.

[dramatic music playing]

[Daniel] Need a lift?

-What are you doing here? -[car door closes]

[Daniel] Look like you're on a mission.

[Rachel] Are you stalking me?

No, no I just wanted to let you know

that I'm not gonna give up on you.

-I never would. -Lucky me.

I'm serious about that lift.

Did you want to go somewhere and talk?

[Rachel] I've got something more important

-to deal with at the moment. -Like what?

Getting to the bottle shop before they close?

What's that supposed to mean?

Well you've had a few. More than a few.

[Rachel] Oh, and what've you had?

-Two pipes and ten valiums? -[Daniel] Yeah,

there's no need to get defensive.

[Rachel] I'm not defensive.

I'm here because I care about you.

And because I think we still have a chance

of working this out.

You are out of your mind.

There's nothing left between us.

Nothing.

Why do you think I drink?

-It's your fault. -Yeah.

[Rachel] You made me like this.

Dragged kicking and screaming, were you?

I never want to see you again.

Ever. In my whole life.

Is that final enough for you?

[dramatic music playing]

[dialing]

Hey, Mom. We found him.

Yeah, he's on the cliff-walk near the cemetery.

Yeah he's just sitting there.

I don't know. Can you just come and get him?

Okay. See you soon.

Was it weird that a part of me hoped

someone else would find Grandad first?

This was big time responsibility.

Way out of my league.

[dramatic music playing]

Hey, Grandad.

You okay?

Mom will be here soon.

If you want to talk to her, I can call her.

What Rachel said, she was out of line saying it,

but she wasn't wrong.

No one was judging.

No one thought anything bad.

I'd probably do the same thing myself.

I mean...

people deal with things in different ways.

Sometimes the weirdest stuff can seem like

the most normal thing in the world.

I get that, I really do.

And who cares what anyone else thinks?

Why do you think I can't go home?

Why do you think I'm living with you lot?

Because I'm gutless.

Gutless.

-What do you mean? -What do you think I mean?

Who cares what anyone thinks when you've lost

the most precious thing in the world?

Nothing else matters.

Your grandma was everything to me.

Everything.

I just want to be with her, Ben.

Grandad, please.

You know, when Nan died,

she left you behind.

And that sucked.

But if you ever left us behind,

that'd suck too.

We'd miss you, so much.

And you don't want us to deal with that.

Why don't you step back a bit.

You're too close. Step back.

Please, Grandad.

I miss her, Ben.

I miss her so much.

I know. I know.

[dramatic music playing]

[crickets chirping]

[knocks on door]

Come in.

Just got you some cocoa.

Thought it might help you sleep.

Thanks, Jules.

Oh, leave it, love.

I want to wake up with the light.

Okay.

Night.

I love you, dad.

[dramatic music playing]

-How is he? -He's okay.

Sorry. Should've kept my mouth shut.

-Oh. -Rachel should've.

It's done now.

He was right near the edge, Mom.

You know, in a weird way, I think

what's happened is for the best.

It's out there.

He's opened up and he's home, he's safe.

That's the most important thing.

[Ben] What a day. I was stuffed.

[Julie] Oh, Ben?

Here darling, take some pav.

Ooh, thanks.

Listen, you were wonderful today.

-No. -No, you were.

I shouldn't have been so quick to judge you about Rachel.

Don't worry about it.

But mostly with your Grandad.

I called you irresponsible.

I was wrong.

Thank you.

Go on, off you go.

-Enjoy the pav. -[Ben] See you.

Now I'm not jonesing for compliments or anything,

but mom calling me responsible,

not too many times I'd heard that in my life.

What are you doing here?

Laying low until mom stops cracking the sads at me.

[laughs]

She'll be right. You want some pav?

Mm.

-How's Grandad? -Fine. He's asleep.

And mom?

Yeah, she's fine too.

She's not pissed off anymore.

Mm. How good's this pav?

Mm.

I know I'm drinking too much.

-Gee, you think? -[laughs]

I got into ice.

Rachel.

Yeah, it started with Daniel,

trying to go hard all night,

keep up with him.

And I started taking it to go to work.

And then he hit me,

so I came home.

'Cause that's what you have to do.

Break the cycle, avoid the triggers,

stop seeing the people.

That's what the experts say.

So, that's all good, right?

You got out.

Right now,

it's like the booze is the only thing

that's getting me through all this.

Which is, you know, maybe fine for a while but...

when you start hurting other people because of it,

it's when you know it's time to stop.

Which is why I want you to know

that I'm gonna be all right.

You don't have to worry about me.

[door opens]

[dramatic music playing]

You've really helped me out the last few days.

I'm going to get a big head soon.

Yeah.

It looks like I'm back in the good books

with Mel too.

I guess this whole being responsible gig

might have unforeseen benefits.

[dramatic music playing]

-Wow. -Not bad, huh?

It's amazing.

You... You've done a great job.

It wasn't me.

Okay, bathroom's done.

Tea anyone?

What?
