[theme music playing]

-Well, uh, aloha. -[guests] Aloha!

[Ted] It was meant to be a party,

a chance to celebrate all that's good in life,

to bring family and friends together.

If you know what's good for you, Nathan,

you'll stay out of my way.

I knew, for weeks I knew. How could you lie to my face?

-I'm sorry. I'm-- -[Sammy] Don't!

Dave, I didn't hold a gun to his head.

I didn't say I tell you what,

why don't you go jump my girlfriend's bones.

He made that decision by himself.

[Ted] Instead, it just broke everything apart.

[Dermott] Usually that wouldn't be a problem.

Ah, look everybody's watching.

-Chel's gone. -Gone where?

During your speech.

She just up and left.

Sorry, mate.

[dramatic music playing]

[Ted] How do you fix something that's broken?

Some things are easy, like a dripping tap.

New washer, a bit of common sense,

Bob's your uncle.

Other things, not so easy. Like a rift in the family.

Can I please have the sauce, dad?

Can I please have the sauce, dad?

Dave.

[Nathan] Okay, this is ridiculous.

Can we please just get it all out in the open?

Can we just have dinner please?

[Nathan] I am sick of the silent treatment.

Okay, what do you want me to say?

I screwed up. I get it.

-That's very mature, dad. -[Julie] Nathan.

[Nathan] Just say what you want.

-Okay just say it. -All right.

You're an arrogant selfish idiot

who wrecked a perfectly good marriage

and a fantastic job

'cause you couldn't keep it in your pants.

-You think I don't know that? -No, no, you don't think.

You don't think of anyone else but yourself,

how your actions affect other people.

I'm sorry, did you lose your wife?

[Dave] You ruined your brother's engagement party,

you embarrassed your family in front of 60 people

and if you think Steve Wilson's

ever gonna be around here again,

you're more of an idiot than I thought.

Embarrassed my family? What are you talking about?

This isn't about me and Sammy. This is about Chel.

-Oh. -What?

[Julie] Okay, enough. Both of you just stop.

She left, you're angry

and you're taking it out on me.

-Don't go there, mate. -It's true, isn't it?

[Rachel] Just stop please, Nathan.

Rachel, just stay out of it.

What, I'm...

I'm not apologizing.

[Ted] So with my family so deep in the tunnel

they could barely see their way back.

There was only one thing to do.

It was time for me to start fixing things.

And not just the plumbing.

[Julie] Oh, I haven't seen that tool box out in awhile.

Ah, just fixing the tap.

Oh, Dave could've done that in the morning, dad.

-I'm not useless, Julie. -No.

Besides between Nathan and Chel,

he's got enough on his plate right now.

Yeah. Oh, they can just go straight in the dishwasher.

They won't be clean enough without rinsing.

Trust me it saves water.

Why don't you go and sit down, put your feet up.

-[Ted] Dave out in the shed? -Yeah.

Where else does he go for therapy?

And what do you think his therapist is telling him?

Well, hopefully that-- yes, Nathan's been an idiot

but he's still his son.

They have to work it out eventually.

Do you want me to talk to Nathan?

No, no, dad. I should do it.

I just don't trust myself at the moment.

After I met your mother,

I never even thought about another woman.

Oh, is this Saint Ted I'm talking to now?

Well, I might've looked a couple of times

and then she even kicked me in the shins for it once

but she was the one.

Like you and Dave.

Yeah, I know.

Nathan and Sammy married so young, dad.

So did you. So did I.

Yeah different times, dad. Different worlds.

Either way he's got to talk to Sammy

before it's too late.

-Mm. -Let me have a crack.

Man to man.

-[knocks on door] -[door opens]

That blue between you and your old man tonight,

that wouldn't have gone as far as it did,

if you weren't half out of your mind missing Sammy,

am I right?

I don't need a lecture, granddad.

I know what I've done.

Look this isn't about you nicking beer

out of my fridge, mate.

We're talking about a marriage here.

You think I don't know that?

Yeah, well if Sammy is the one,

you've got to do whatever it takes.

Grovel, eat dirt, but get her back

or you'll spend the rest of your life regretting it.

Laying there wallowing in self-pity

won't solve anything.

I am not wallowing. Don't you get it?

I have tried to talk to her, she won't answer.

Then get out there. Go see her.

I can't.

Then maybe you just don't love her enough.

[Nathan] Hey, thanks granddad.

I, um, I really appreciate the help.

[dramatic music playing]

Oh, listening at keyholes now are we?

Oh, it was hard not to hear you.

Thanks for trying dad but I--

-No I made it worse. -Well...

What he really needs to do

is get his finger out and get over there.

Yeah, well what would be the point

if Sammy's in no mood to listen?

Well, what's the point of sticking your head

in the sand doing nothing?

If he's old enough to be married,

he's old enough to make his own decisions.

[Ted] Wise words, but sooner or later

Nathan had to do something.

[dramatic music playing]

[Warney] Getting some nice caramelization going there

with the onions.

[Trish] Where do you get all this chef talk?

Nigella Lawson of course.

In with the meat.

In with the zucchinis.

[Trish] You never told me that Warney was such a whiz

-in the kitchen. -I never knew.

[phone chimes]

Is that Nathan again? Don't you dare phone him.

I won't.

That's it my darling, maintain the rage.

It's the only way.

The sooner it's over, the sooner you can move on.

Find yourself a good man.

Thank you, Stewart.

Yeah, but it's not gonna get any better

if you keep ignoring each other.

I mean you'll both feel better if you sent Natho

a bit of a text.

He's probably feeling a bit bruised, yeah?

Stewart, we might need some mother-daughter time.

Oh, okay I see.

Don't worry, diplomat's my second name.

Darling, if Nathan is not man enough

to come around and sort this out,

leave him now.

Otherwise you'll end up taking him back

and having a child and you'll be stuck,

just like I was.

So it's my fault that you got stuck with dad?

-Nice, mom. -Well, you know what I mean.

All I'm saying is cut Nathan loose now

and look to your future.

Bye, granddad.

-Bye love. Have a good one. -You too.

-There she is. -[Rachel] I can't stay,

-I'm running really late. -Oi. Give me a kiss.

I'm not running that late.

So, what are you doing tonight?

Oh, Rachel, I can't. I'm meeting Camel.

But you saw him last night.

Yeah, we booked this ages ago.

-It's this band he likes-- -Oh, far be it for me

to intrude on your burgeoning bromance with Camel

but what if I wanna see you?

I mean that's what happens when two people

are on together, they see each other.

-We took a break remember? -Yeah, and?

[Jake] And I made arrangements.

I can't just blow off Camel 'cause we're back on.

What are you doing tomorrow night?

[Rachel] Can't. I'm catching up with Libby.

Oh, so it's okay for me to cancel Camel

but it's not okay for you to cancel on Libby?

Yep that's right.

And just to be clear just so that I don't peak

with excitement too early when do you think

you might be able to fit me in to your packed schedule?

-Friday. -[Rachel] Friday?

Right, I'll have my people call your people.

[Jake] Rachel, talk to me...

Why does she have to be like that?

[Ted] Jake, they're all like that.

They all have to get their way.

They all have to have the last word.

Our job is to let them.

Yeah, well that's gonna happen.

Take it from one who knows.

The only way for a relationship to succeed

is compromise.

Yeah, but it's the guys who have to compromise.

There are ways and ways.

You just have to make them feel like they're winning.

[Dave] Rachel Warne.

She's been having dialysis there twice a week

and she's transferred her treatment.

I just need to find out which hospital.

Ah, yeah, look I understand the need for patient privacy

but she's my mother

and we haven't heard from her for a few days.

No, no, it's okay. I understand.

Thanks for your help.

What's wrong with people these days?

You're looking for your mother?

The privacy act.

They can neither confirm nor deny.

I wonder how much a private investigator costs?

Dave I know this is tough, but she'll either just

turn up out of the blue or she doesn't wanna be found.

What so I should just give up? Never find out why she left?

Well it'd be better off for both of you.

Not an option, sorry.

[Ted] Okay, so maybe my advice wasn't wanted,

but I wasn't about to sit back

and left my family implode.

There had to be something I could do.

Hey Melissa, you got a minute?

Actually I'm just on my way to work.

[Ted] Oh, I won't take long.

Hey this, um, this business with Chel disappearing...

Ah, yeah I know it's terrible.

Well, Dave's been on the phone all morning

trying to find her.

-No luck. -Ted.

You're part of the family, Mel.

Now I know it might not be the happiest of families

right now but I think we both know

where to get started on fixing it.

Yeah, you're about to ask me to do something

I really can't do.

Am I?

A quick peek at Chel's records?

See which hospital she's been referred to for dialysis?

Don't think I haven't thought about it.

[Ted] Yeah, well I know you might be inviting trouble.

I'd be violating every code of practice.

If anyone finds out, it's my career over.

[Ted] Yeah. Well I can't ask you to risk that, can I?

Well, I didn't say I wouldn't do it.

[Ted] Score one, Ted.

[dramatic music playing]

Sam. Sam please talk to me.

I am sorry, okay?

I am sorrier than I ever could be.

At least hear what I've got to say.

Why should I believe anything you have to say?

I trusted you so many times and every time you lied to me.

[Nathan] I stuffed up, I know that.

There's got to be a way through this.

[Sammy] I don't want to see you.

I do not want to talk to you.

There is nothing you can say that I want to hear.

-Nothing. -Sam...

Sam. Sam.

[Julie] So any idea when you'll be back?

I'm not sure, love. It's a bit up in the air.

-I could be away a few days. -Hm. Got everything?

[Ted] Ah, yeah. Clean hanky, play lunch.

Are you going somewhere, granddad?

[Julie] Mm, up the coast. Friend finders outing.

To do what? When did you plan this?

Are you back on with Marjorie?

None of your business.

Weeks ago and no.

Weeks ago? You never told me about it.

I'm an adult, Julie.

I don't have to explain myself.

Now I'll be off but before I go I had a word

-with Jake this morning. -Why?

[Ted] Because he's a good bloke.

Ooh, what did you two talk about?

Well, let's just say I wouldn't be making

alternative plans for this evening.

-Bye all. -Bye.

Oh, um, Jake's in the shed packing up if you...

Who was asking?

So this band you're going to see tonight

-with Camel-- -Yeah, what's it to you?

Hey I was trying to be nice but if that's how

you want to play it we can just--

Yeah, High Voltage.

Yes, High Voltage.

Well, it's kind of like an Acca Dacca tribute band.

Right. What time are you meeting him?

7:00.

Oh, actually that reminds me I've got to get going.

Friday, yeah?

Ah, no hang on. Sorry scrap that.

I forgot, um...

we've got to get going.

-You and me. -I'm sorry?

I managed to score an extra ticket.

-It wasn't easy. -To High Voltage?

-Yeah. -[Rachel] With you and Camel?

[Jake] Well he said he didn't mind.

More in the mosh pit the merrier, he reckons.

[Rachel] What if I don't wanna see High Voltage?

But I thought you wanted to see me?

-[Rachel] I do but-- -Well, that's what people

who are on together do, they see each other.

Okay, look, meet me halfway here.

There's a great little Thai place next door.

We can have dinner before the gig?

-I'll meet you halfway. -[Jake] All right.

I'll meet you for dinner.

You give that ticket to one of your other mates.

Relax, Rach. Ticket's mine. Gig sold out weeks ago.

I've never seen Sammy like that...

[Julie] Well she's angry, she's hurt,

-she's embarrassed. -This was more than angry.

Mom, it was like she couldn't even stand to breathe

the same air as me.

Once something's broken maybe it can't be fixed.

No things can always be fixed.

All right.

Here we go.

Yes, it's another mother story.

See this?

I gave this to mom when I was 10

for mother's day.

It's ugly, isn't it?

Anyway after she died I found it in her bedroom.

She'd kept it all these years.

What happened to it?

[Julie] Oh, I dropped it deliberately.

Teenage tantrum after mom and I had an argument.

-You had a teenage tantrum? -Yeah.

Mom must've wanted to strangle me.

But she mended it, you know.

In fact I watched her mixing the two parts of glue

and painting it on the edges.

Oh, darling look I guess the point I'm trying to make

is that with enough love and enough care

and enough time,

it doesn't matter how many pieces

something's broken into.

Hear what I'm saying?

[door bell ringing]

I'll get it.

It's not the same thing, mom.

-Hey. -Oh, come here stranger.

Who's the lucky man?

Oh, it's just Jake something or rather.

You know some guy who works with dad.

Thanks so much for all the texts.

Is Nathan here?

Would that be my incredibly stupid brother, Nathan?

That's the one.

[Rachel] Yeah he's here. Come on.

[dramatic music playing]

Sam.

[Julie] Oh it's so good to see you.

[Sammy] You too.

[Dave] Hey, Jules, have you, uh--

-[Sammy] Hey. -Hey, Sammy.

Good to see you.

-You have something to say? -Yeah.

Yeah, do you want to go into the--

No.

I can't believe she had to come to him.

I'm so glad you're here, thank you for this.

-How many times? -[Nathan] Sorry?

You and Layla, how many times?

Once.

Once I swear and afterwards

-I hated myself. -Why?

Because I love you and 'cause I broke everything--

No, why did you do it?

I don't know. I truly don't know Sam.

I was an idiot and I just got caught up in that world.

God, what, the late nights? The parties?

-The drinking? The drugs? -No.

No, it was the buzz.

It was the adrenaline.

[Sammy] Where did you do it?

-What do you mean? -Where did you have sex?

-In the office. -Was it good?

-No. -I don't believe you.

I am sorry, Sam.

I wish I could give you something

that makes more sense but I can't

because that's the truth.

That's the pathetic truth.

I should've told you sooner.

Because waiting for me to find out worked out

so well for us, didn't it?

[Nathan] I can't change what I did.

Sam but I promised you I will never ever do it again.

And I know I don't deserve a second chance,

I know I don't deserve you but...

please give me the chance to earn back your trust.

Please.

Please, Sam.

[Dave] If she takes him back she's more forgiving

than I am.

Oh, would you cut Nathan some slack?

Like it or not he's still our son.

Yeah, and she's our daughter.

Well, that's how it feels anyway.

Okay, this stuff with Chel

maybe I have been a little bit--

Oh, distracted, angry, hurt, confused.

Well you've got every right to be but just don't

don't project it onto Nathan.

Let's see how he handles this,

then maybe I will cut him some slack.

[Sammy] Hey, um, I've got to go but it was really nice

-to see you both. -[Julie] You too.

Okay, we'll see you soon.

-[Julie] Nathan? -Not good, mom.

[dramatic music playing]

Where are you going?

Maybe there is something I can fix.

What are you doing here?

I won't be long.

Yeah, I know you won't.

You gave me the chance of a lifetime

and I blew it.

If you're expecting a rethink on the job front, mate,

you can forget about it.

No, no the job's gone. I accept that.

But I do expect you to acknowledge some part

in what went on here, Steve.

Excuse me?

Your open relationship with Layla,

clearly it only went one way and it was killing her.

And what-- and now you've fired her

because she was playing by your rules?

She walked, Nathan.

I reckon you should do the same.

My point is that you, me, Layla,

none of us are innocent in this.

But my dad is.

And the reason that I'm here is because of him.

And what you and he have, it's too valuable to lose

because of my stupid behavior.

Okay, I might have lost my wife,

he may have lost a daughter-in-law

that he likes a whole lot more than me right now

but please, Steve,

don't let him lose a friend too.

I'm sorry that things worked out this way.

[dramatic music playing]

[Ted] Oh, excuse me.

I'm inquiring after Rachel Warne.

Um, she's having dialysis here twice weekly.

Just transferred from Sydney.

-And you are? -Dave Rafter.

I've driven up from Sydney to see her

and stupidly I've left her address at home.

There's a David Rafter listed here as next of kin.

-That's me. -Says you're her son.

-In law. -You'd have photo ID?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Oh, no.

No, it must've been in the same jacket

the address was in.

Oh, would this, this electricity bill do?

Sorry, Dave, I can't release an address.

Oh, please?

I've driven all this way.

[nurse] Hang on.

She's due in tomorrow 8:00 a.m.

Thanks a lot.

[Ted] I'd tracked Chel down.

Time to extend the olive branch and fix this problem.

The big question was, did she want it fixed?

[Ben] Okay, guys. How many do you think?

Oi guys, listen up.

How many do you think?

-How many what? -Guests at our wedding.

We haven't even set a date yet.

Okay, so I'm putting us ahead of the game

for when we thought about it.

Hypothetically, how many?

[Melissa] Oh, um, you, me, Carbo, your parents.

Your parents. Oh, come on they'd come.

-Rachel, Nathan, Sammy. -[Carbo] You reckon Sammy?

[Ben] Yeah, well why not?

Whatever happened she's still family.

-Chrissy? -[Carbo] Oh, I don't know.

[Ben] Oh, come on Carbo.

You'd want Chrissy there wouldn't you?

No it's whether or not she'd want to be there,

-that's the problem. -What are you talking about?

Yeah, what are you talking about?

Nothing.

Just something she told me that's all.

-Spill. -[Carbo] Sorry.

-Is she okay? -Yeah, I hope so,

you know anyone for toast?

-No thanks. -What is it with you two?

You're both moping around like a pair of wet schnauzers.

I'm worried someone might find out

that I was the one that told Ted.

I just hope I've done the right thing.

You tracked down Chel,

of course you did the right thing.

You should be happy.

Yeah, but I still broke the rules.

Not my rules.

You took a risk for the family,

for your family and that's why I love you.

[Rachel] My ears. Wow.

Oh, I think I've actually gone deaf.

-[laughs] -Embracing my inner bogan

was a lot harder than I thought.

Well, you had to come. I had to scalp that ticket.

Had to have the last word.

Yes, but at least we got to see each other.

Yeah.

Well, you're home now so come on.

Out you get.

Oh, no baby. I've got to be up at six.

Really?

After that amazing concert and that beautiful meal

I thought you might've been trying to impress me.

Do you want to at least walk me to the front door?

Yep.

[chuckles]

Stay?

Rach, it's not that I don't want to.

But your dad's my boss.

Yeah, well we couldn't do that anyway.

And I kind of have a rule about not doing it

in my parents' house.

Ah, that explains all the times in the shed.

Yes.

Are you sure we can't compromise about that?

But we can at least snuggle.

You have to wake me before Dave gets up.

Come on.

A bit early for work isn't it?

-Um-- -Don't bother mate.

I'm just going to pretend I never even saw this.

[nurse] Mr. Rafter?

Oh. Yeah, Dave Rafter. That's me.

-Mrs. Warne's son in law. -Yep.

Well your mother in law's here for her dialysis.

Hi, Dave. You're looking a bit older

than the last time I saw you.

It's the life I lead, Chel.

So this gentleman is your son in law?

Yeah.

My daughter has strange tastes.

What are you doing here, Dave?

Well come to hold your hand.

If that's cool with you?

Do you want me to wait outside?

After all the trouble you've taken?

Oh, you'd be out there for hours.

It takes ages.

How'd you find me?

Luck.

A contact in a hospital maybe.

Trade secret, sorry.

Up and vanishing like that,

it doesn't make sense, Chel.

Yes, it does.

It's breaking Dave's heart.

It'd break Dave's heart if he thought

that I'd come back into his life

because I needed a donor.

[Ted] He doesn't think that.

Nobody does.

I just wish they didn't know, that's all.

Come back with me.

Dave's a mess. He needs to see you.

You're an emotional blackmailer, Ted,

you know that?

That's one of my best qualities.

So is that a yes?

I've never had anyone care this much.

[Ted] That's because you keep moving on.

You've got to spend a bit of time in one place mate.

Put down some roots.

[Chel] Yeah, it makes me nervous that kind of love.

It's too easy to lose.

It's never going to happen.

You're stuck with us.

Come back.

Would you get me a glass of water please?

-Chel... -Please?

[phone ringing]

It's Steve.

You think I should answer it?

[phone beeps]

Hello.

Yeah, mate.

Okay.

Where?

Yeah, sure.

I'll see you there.

He wants to meet for a chat.

Obviously somewhere where he's not going to bump

into Nathan.

I'll see you soon.

[upbeat music playing]

[Dave] G'day mate.

Dave.

Didn't know if I'd hear from you.

Well, I wasn't sure what to do

to be honest with you. How's Jules?

Good, yeah.

[Steve] Listen you want a coffee or something?

Uh, no I've... I've got to keep moving sorry.

Listen all I wanted to do was give

-the kid a break, you know. -I know that.

[Steve] And he blew it big time.

There's no way I could keep him on here.

I'm not defending him.

He did, he stuffed up.

But...

Well we were Nathan's age once.

Young.

Remember young?

You know, you know he admired you and I think...

maybe you were too good a role model.

[chuckles]

Yeah, point taken.

Doesn't mean he gets his job back though.

World doesn't work that way.

Well hopefully he's learnt his lesson.

At least he's learning his mistakes.

How do you mean?

Believe it or not he came to see me.

He told me that we shouldn't make

what happened come between us, you and me.

[scoffs]

Come here.

I tell you what, you must've done something

right with that kid.

It took balls to come back here.

See you.

[Nathan] The worst thing mom,

above everything else, I forced her out of her home

and away from you guys. The family.

-She's with her mom. -Yeah.

It's not the same.

Not with Warney there.

I know what I have to do.

I've got an idea.

Um...

-Dad. -Nathan.

What happened with Steve?

Nathan spoke to him last night.

-Tried to make amends. -See? He's trying.

-You've got to give him that. -Yeah, that's what Steve said.

[Julie] Well so are you going to tell Nathan?

Yeah, I'll tell him, in time.

What and in the meantime?

You can cut him some slack if you like

but I can't make this too easy on him.

I owe him that as a father.

Oi.

-I need a favor. -Am I hearing right?

You asking me for a favor?

Mmm-hmm. A big one.

[dramatic music playing]

[knocks on door]

G'day Ben, how's it going?

Hey, great.

Is, uh, Sammy home?

No, they'll be home anytime soon. Come in.

You're getting very domesticated.

[Warney] Yeah, domestic god, that's me mate.

Got to keep the ladies happy.

[Trish] I never realized what quality items

you could pick up at Vinnies.

-Ben? -What are you doing here?

Did Nathan send you?

Uh, no I was just wondering

if I could have a chat with Sammy?

[Trish] Typical. Tony would never face

-his own mistakes either. -Mom...

Yeah, that's fine.

Um, just come outside.

Your mom's shopping at Vinnies now?

She thinks it's a treasure hunt

but no matter how much she spends

she always come in under budget.

What about Warney?

Check out those rubber gloves.

Yeah, he does all the housework.

He practically lives there.

So I guess you've been sleeping on the couch?

Yep. Just me and my ear plugs.

Well, that's kind of what I came to talk to you about.

I know a place where you can stay.

-What? -A vacant bedroom,

-not a couch. -Where?

With me and Mel. Unfortunately Carbo gets

thrown in as part of the deal but hey it's his house.

You, you're offering me a room

-at Carbo's house? -Yeah.

Ben that's really thoughtful but--

Hey listen I know it sounds a bit weird

but this way you'll have your own room

and you'll be living with people you know.

Yeah, with people who know my business.

Yeah, but we're family, Sammy.

No one's judging you. If anyone's being judged

it's Nathan.

Was this his idea?

What? No. Give me some credit.

I have some good ideas sometimes.

Dave said he wanted to test.

It's my worst nightmare, Ted.

Why?

It... It would be a massive sacrifice.

A pointless sacrifice.

I'm sixty two, I have HIV.

It's just terrible timing.

Look my kidneys started to fail

and I started all this...

and then Dave puts his name on the website.

I'm thinking well how can I contact him now?

What's he going to think?

That, that's what I've come for?

That's what it's all about?

But then I thought well he doesn't have to know

and we can still have some time together.

Be a family.

And I didn't want this to spoil that.

But he found out.

And of course he offered to...

And so I had to go.

-Because-- -Because it was the only way

to prove you loved him.

Yes.

But you could have

years you know.

With or without a donor.

Years with Dave, Julie and the kids.

I wish they'd get rid of these needles

out of my arms.

[Ted] Look you act

as though you don't have a choice.

But you do.

And all you've got to do is make it.

Come home, Chel.

Come on.

[Trish] I know what this is about.

It's exactly what Tony would've done.

You know this was Nathan's idea.

-Mom. -You need people around

who can give good advice.

Here you've got that but living next door

to Nathan's family...

Well no one's going to brainwash me.

But at the end of the day they're all going to be

on his side.

You know it doesn't mean I'm getting back with Nathan.

You don't have to go. If it's Stewart

-that's bothering you-- -He's not.

Well he is but I mean you need your space

and I need mine.

I'm so sorry.

Hey what for?

For not having more space,

-for forcing you out. For... -No.

...for not being a better mother.

-Mom... -You can always come back.

You know the couch is yours.

Just promise me,

no compromises.

Okay? Be happy.

Thank you.

Bye.

[engine starts]

-Hey roomies. -[Carbo] Ah, Sammy

this is going to be awesome!

Yeah, now we've got teams for Gran Turismo.

-Gran what? -Turismo.

Welcome to the nuthouse.

Like I said, our casa is your casa.

This is really strange but I did want

-to say thank you. -Hey stop right there.

There's no need to say thanks.

Yeah, what he said.

It's great to have you around Samski.

[Melissa] Ah, and if he calls you Samski again

we can take turns kneeing him in the groin.

Uh, let me officially show you where you're staying.

So this was Ben's room

but don't worry it's been fumigated

to get rid of all the boy germs.

-Carbo? -Yeah.

That's really sweet.

Uh, he's just excited to have another person

to split the bills with.

Uh, so I will see you downstairs.

Um, Mel,

I'm really sorry about wrecking

your engagement party.

It was memorable but hardly your fault.

And the current world record

for messing up a family celebration

actually goes to me,

so if you want my crown you are going to have

to walk out on an eighty thousand dollar wedding

with four bridesmaids all in fuschia.

You dressed your bridesmaid in fuschia?

-Yeah. Mother's choice. -[Sam] Oh.

Hence the running.

See you at the playstation.

You didn't tell her it was my idea, right?

How dumb do you think I am?

Oh, obviously not as dumb as you look.

No, but thank you Ben. I really appreciate it.

No, it's no biggie.

I like her more than I like you anyway.

Just give her time.

See you guys. Sorry I can't stay for tofu.

-Mmm yum. -[Julie] Bye darling.

Well that's a step in the right direction.

-What you think? -[Rachel] Yeah, well put it

this way, if Sam didn't want to see you

she wouldn't have moved next door.

Yeah, I guess, maybe.

[Rachel] No, not maybe.

You have to use creative visualization.

So you visualize a world where you and Sam

are back together again,

you focus on that, you meditate on it

and it'll happen.

Did the tofu tell you to say that?

Laugh all you like, little brother.

Positive creative visualization.

-Right. -You will see.

Tofu aside darling right now Sammy's next door

and that's the best news you've had all week.

-Anybody home? -Mmm.

In here, dad.

I found her wandering the streets.

You're gonna have to keep the leash on this one mate.

My part was done.

The rest was up to Dave and Chel.

So do you want to tell me why?

Habit of a lifetime?

People were making assumptions.

They were thinking I was back for the wrong reasons.

-I couldn't stand it. -What people?

Me?

I didn't come to look for you because I wanted

something from you. That was never ever

-part of the equation. -[Dave] Well why couldn't you

just say that? Why... why did you have

to up stakes and run?

I'm not very good at explaining myself.

[Dave] Well then why, why are we having

-this conversation? -David, I...

I'm sorry. I didn't want to hurt you.

I couldn't see another way.

And I panicked.

Are you panicking now?

So you're back?

To stay?

I can't leave now.

But nobody, nobody, not you, not Julie,

not the children, nobody, gets themselves

-tested all right? -Okay all right.

Do you see how easy that was?

I... I... I still don't understand why?

Could you take something like that

from one of your children?

It's not the way it's meant to go.

It's the wrong way around, David.

For many years...

I lived with the prospect of dying.

I'm all right with it

but I want to live what's left of my life.

On my terms.

You understand that?

[dramatic music playing]

Yep.

[Ted] Have you seen Jake lately?

-Yes. -Oh, and thank you

for interfering. You can chalk up

two brownie points.

[Ted] Interfering am I?

Look where it's got me.

[Rachel] Ooh that tap that was dripping

and now it's not.

Yeah, I fixed it the day before yesterday

and the ones in the bathroom.

I'm working my way through the whole house.

[Julie] Yeah, speaking of, uh, brownie points--

[Ted] Well there's a lot of maintenance on this house.

I've been thinking of even doing a bit

of painting, freshen it up a bit.

Let's get some color charts eh?

What brought this on?

Oh, just earning my keep mate.

Have tool kit, will travel.

[knocks on door]

Hey.

Oh you've been busy lately, taps,

color charts, finding Chel.

Someone had to get her back.

[Julie] Dad, what's this about?

Pulling my weight.

Oh, please.

You've pulled your weight all your life.

[exhales deep] What's going on?

Well with the baby coming along,

you'll need more room

so I was planning on moving out.

Oh, dad there's no need for that.

I thought there was.

When I sold the townhouse,

uh, I put the money into my super.

It seemed like the sensible thing to do

and now with the global financial crisis,

what do you think it's worth?

A bit over half of what I put in.

Oh, dad why didn't you tell me?

So until the market improves I can't buy another house,

so I can't move out.

I don't want to be a burden, Jules.

Oh, you're not a burden.

How many times do I have to tell you that

before it gets through that thick skull of yours?

This is your home.

I just want to pull my weight.

And there's still a lot of things around here

I can fix.

Okay, well I'll, I'll make a list.

A really long one.

It'll take you ten years to get through that

and then you'll have to start all over again.

[Ted] And just like that my problem was solved.

I felt useful.

My family was mended.

Well almost.

[glass breaks]

Sorry I, I didn't meant to scare you.

It's okay.

I just came out here for some space

and some time to think.

I'll get out of your way.

You don't have to.

It's your backyard too.

So you're staying with Ben?

His idea.

Good on him.

Well it was better than staying on your mom's sofa.

I'll um,

I'll leave you to it.

[Ted] But not everyone finds it that way.

[Ted] Relationships, they're complicated,

hard to fix.

[Ted] Keeping things fixed

That's the hard thing.

[indistinct chatter]

[Ted chuckles]

Oh, dear.
