[Nathan] Freedom can mean many things.

The chance at a fresh start.

[Nathan] Or the end of something

that used to matter.

"Big V" magazine; old valiants and bikini models.

Gee, I wonder who that could--

Hey! Hand it over.

I buy it for the articles.

[Nathan] These are for you, Ben.

Thanks.

-Nothing for me? -Ah, no.

Here you can have mine. It's all junk.

Why does this fridge always look full

but there's never anything to eat?

Well I can make you a salad.

[Ben] Salad? I need actual food.

-Bad news, mate? -Hmm?

No. No, not news at all.

It's, um, it's from Sammy's lawyers.

I'm officially divorced. So...

Are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah, it's just paperwork.

I'm going to take a shower.

-Do you reckon he's for real? -Don't know.

He might just be putting on a brave face.

What happened between them?

Did she break it off or was he the one?

-Who knows. -She ended it

and he was pretty gutted.

Did all the stupid break up stuff,

got mad, he got drunk.

Yep. It happened over a year ago.

[sighs] It can take more than that

to mend a broken heart.

-Hmm. -Hey,

-ah, bathroom's all yours. -I don't need the bathroom.

I... I need to talk to you.

Can I get dressed first?

I know how hard moving on

from a broken relationship can be.

-You do? -Yeah. Carbo's mom

was torn to pieces and I like to think I was...

-I was a real help to her. -I'm sure you were.

You have to know you are not alone.

You have friends and family who care about you.

I know... I know that. I'm lucky like that.

-You are. -[Nathan] Hmm.

Don't lose sight of it.

Honestly Retta, Sammy and I broke up

a long time ago and I'm fine.

-Really? -Absolutely.

-[sighs] -[Nathan] Oh!

-You're being so strong. -Thanks.

You have to know that I am here for you

whenever you want me.

Um...

yeah I might just go

-and put some clothes on. -[Retta] Okay.

Whatever you need.

-Thanks. -Okay.

[door opens]

Hey.

[Ben] Suffering in silence isn't really his style

so if something's up, we'll know about it soon enough.

We all knew this day was coming.

Well, I might just pop over and invite him for tea, yeah?

No, if he wants to talk, it might be more of a blokes

in the shed sort of thing.

Seriously, I think you guys should just hang back.

He said he was fine.

Benny boy, you do realize

-that's my hot English. -Uh, yeah.

Well, just as long as you know what you're doing.

[Julie] I could always go and see him

-for another reason. -That missing sock you found?

[Julie] No, you know what I mean.

No, if you want to talk to him,

just be up front about it.

Have you guys heard anything that I've said?

Because when they say "hot English mustard",

-they're not mucking around. -Yeah, I know.

Well stand by sinuses. That's all I can say.

I like a lot of mustard.

Actually he's right, you know.

Nathan will come to us if there's a problem.

Yeah, he will, probably.

Yeah. Well keep an eye on him though, won't you?

Course he will.

You've got everything under control.

Right, mate?

Hey, have you lads got plans tonight?

Well, I was, ah, going to ask you the same thing

seeing as this could be my last night

-of freedom. -Hey.

Oh, you're not going to go to jail dude.

-Hey, no guarantees. -[Nathan] Well, either way,

I think a few drinks are in order.

Plus I've got my own reasons.

As of today I'm officially divorced.

-Oh, gee. -Do we say congratulations?

-Yeah, sure why not. -Well it doesn't seem

like something you'd celebrate.

Well, it's about new beginnings.

We'll have a meal, a few drinks.

-Nothing serious. -Hey, guys.

-Um, you heading out tonight? -Yeah maybe, um--

Yeah, well drinks at the Boat Club.

-You should come. -[Coby] Jake's coming.

He doesn't have a choice but you can come too.

It doesn't have to be a boy's thing.

Oh...

No pressure.

You've probably got work to do.

Always, yeah.

You know me.

Um, okay well you have fun.

-[Jake] All right. -And I'll talk to you later.

-Well, I'll call you tomorrow. -Awkward much?

Hey, you guys are definitely coming, right?

-Yep. -Yeah.

[Rachel] I don't think he wanted me there, do you?

[Nathan] Well, so the plan is to avoid each other?

Oh, well I don't really have a plan.

It's just take one day at a time.

Well, come with us.

No, it's not that simple, Nathan.

-Well it could be. -No, it's not.

Trust me. He's embarrassed and he's beating himself up

and there's no need to. Hi.

Well so tonight could be good.

I mean you'll be together but there'll be a gang there

-to take the heat off. -[Rachel] Thanks Nathan,

but I'm really not in the mood for relationship advice.

Oh, go easy, Rachel.

[Rachel] Excuse me?

Just not now.

[Rachel] Why is everybody being so weird?

[Nathan] I think they're trying to protect me.

From what?

Clearly Ben raced home and blabbed.

Out of concern.

-You all right there, Ben? -It's hay fever.

Blabbed what?

Well the paperwork came through today.

-I'm divorced. -I'm so sorry.

[Nathan] No, it's not a big deal.

Honestly thank you everybody for your concern but I'm fine.

-Really? -[Nathan] Yes.

If anyone would like to celebrate

my new found liberty then, ah, feel free

to come down to the Boat Club tonight.

-Sounds good. Oh. -[Julie] You're okay, really?

[Nathan] Mom, please don't start.

You know, in fact I'm going to remove temptation

and just leave.

It's cool if I stay home, yeah?

[Nathan] Yeah, it's a free country.

The best way to know what freedom's worth

is to face losing it.

Coby must've been packing it,

not that you could tell.

Come on buddy! We've got to move!

-Come on! -Righto.

[Coby] I'm amped to get amongst it.

I tell you what if I'm going down tomorrow,

at least I am going to do it hung over.

No, no, that's all right, Cobes.

There's no way they're going to lock you up.

-You're too good looking. -Sorry mate.

I'll fire up. Don't worry.

Yeah, right. Is this still about the graffiti

-on the garage door? -What do you reckon?

Yeah, well, it's gone now.

No one will ever know.

Yeah except for me and Rachel.

Well, she's cool with it.

She shouldn't have to deal with something like this.

Yeah, I know that.

Look it'll all turn out okay.

Innocent till proven, right?

It's the until part that's the problem.

I just wish it was sorted, either way.

Wait so hang on you'd be happier if you were in jail?

And you had to stop seeing Rachel?

Come on, that's crazy.

Don't, stop being a giant sack of sad.

Change your attitude!

And your shirt!

-Right. -[laughs]

-To moving forward. -[Coby] Mate.

You're very up about that.

-I'm impressed. -No, and I'm with you.

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'm ready for it.

Oh, well maybe I should've said to freedom.

-Freedom. -Freedom!

-[Nathan] Yeah, cheers. -[Jake] To freedom.

Hey, like you mean it.

I could be punching out number plates

-this time tomorrow. -Oh, I do mean it.

I just, you know, don't mean freedom

-the way Nathan means it. -Ah, I hear you there brother.

[Nathan] Hey, I didn't want it either but now that it's here,

I'm not complaining. I'm gonna...

I'm gonna make the best of it.

Well, me too.

And I reckon I could, uh, squeeze in one last fling.

What do you reckon if I told young lass over there

this is my last night of freedom?

Ah, I don't know if possible jail time's

a great pick up line but don't let me stop you.

[all] Ooh.

[Coby] Why don't we all have a gawk, why don't you?

-You just told us to. -[Coby] No, I didn't

but she's all right, isn't she?

-She's cute. -Is she? I... I didn't notice.

-[Coby] Yeah right. -[Carbo] I didn't.

I don't look at girls like that since I met Retta.

We believe you. We really do.

Look, when you're driving a Porsche,

you're not going to rubberneck the Holdens, are you?

[Nathan] Oh, you so would! What about a Monaro?

-Okay, I get your point. -[Coby] No I reckon the day

you stop looking is the day you stop living.

Okay, thanks again.

-I'll see you tomorrow. -[phone beeps]

Ruby asleep?

Yeah, I told her my patented bedtime story

-and she was out like a light. -[chuckles]

I thought you had a lot of work on?

[Rachel] Oh, I'm taking a break.

Well, that was Mr. Troy Stanley on the phone.

-Who? -Coby's lawyer.

I don't know whether to call him Troy or Mr. Stanley.

Is there an etiquette with lawyers?

Ah, I think lawyers are used to being called

all kinds of things.

[Dave] Maybe it's short for something like,

um, Troysten or Troydon or--

-Um, Dave? -Yeah?

-Was there a problem? -No, he just wanted to go over

what I'm going to say tomorrow.

Right, well, you know, maybe you should write

a character reference instead?

No, I'm more of a talker than a writer.

Okay.

No, I don't see it's a big deal.

The judge is just going to give him a rap

on the knuckles and a bit of community service

and that's about it.

Is that what the lawyer said?

Yeah. I mean there's no guarantees

but the chances of him going to prison are low.

-Low? -Yeah, as in unlikely.

Well, yeah. But Coby's friend was involved in the same crime

and he got two years, darling.

Totally different circumstances.

I'm just saying whatever happens tomorrow

you can't blame yourself.

I wasn't going to.

Do you really reckon he could go to prison?

I mean he was led astray and made a dumb choice

but you'd have to be pretty heartless

to not give him a second chance.

I'll go.

I don't know how we got here.

I thought we were so happy.

Everything was perfect.

And now we just don't talk.

Everything's just...

weird.

It's not going to get better by itself, is it?

We just need to keep talking, don't we?

Yeah.

Hey look, the way I see it you getting divorced

is good news for me.

Oh, I'm almost too scared to ask.

No, seriously, statistically one in three marriages

get flushed, so my odds are getting better.

-You're not married. -Not yet.

Does that mean you have to change

your status to divorced?

Oh, I think single will do.

Well, I could be joining you with that one.

Oh, there's those violins again.

[all clamoring]

I wasn't moaning!

Well you were getting very close.

[Nathan] Hey, can I just say I...

I'm really glad you guys could all make it.

I haven't felt this good in ages.

-Really? -[Nathan] Yeah.

Yeah, I, I realized that I was like,

a bird in a cage

and now the doors have opened

and I'm spreading my wings.

Are you sure it wasn't the closet you were caught in?

-Good for you bro. -[Nathan] Thank you.

All right, come on. Who wants another?

Coby, Cobes, Cobes, pace yourself.

-[Coby] No. I'm fine. -Big day tomorrow.

[Jake] No, no, no, he's right. I'll have a softy.

-You are a softy. -[Jake] Oh.

Well I get softies for free so it's my shout.

Ah, tighty, softy and moany.

-Moan, moany? Why am I moany? -[laughs]

-I thought that was Jake. -What dwarf are you, Carbo?

Well I'm just going to go and call Retta.

See how the class went.

-Saddy. -Yes, saddy.

[Carbo] Don't be like that.

[laughs]

-That is sad. -Yeah and you're--

Rowdy friends.

Oh, yeah.

-Sorry about that. -[chuckles] It's cool.

Hey, at least you've got some.

I was supposed to be having a big night

with some girlfriends but...

You've been stood up?

-That sucks. -It does. [chuckles]

I'm Emma.

I'm Ben.

Nice to meet you, Ben.

They say they'd try and see me later.

Our names are on the door at Cruise.

Oh, right. I haven't been there

but it's supposed to be good.

It is. You should check it out.

Yeah.

All right, well, have a good night, Emma.

You don't want to come, do you?

-What? -It won't cost you anything

to get in and it means I don't have to go alone.

Oh, ah, um, I'm sorry.

Um, I've never done that before.

Um--Um, just I blame the daiquiri.

-Just forget it. -No, I haven't,

ah, done this for a long time.

Right, sure, oh, okay.

-Really? -Yeah, when?

-Now? -Okay.

Okay. [chuckles]

[indistinct chatter]

There you go guys. I'll catch you later.

-What? -Yeah, I'm going out.

-Cruise bar. -What, now?

Yeah, I just got asked to go there by her.

You dog! If anyone's supposed to be getting some tonight,

it's supposed to be me. It's my last chance.

It's not your last chance. There's plenty of sex in jail.

[Coby] Ah, very funny. It's--

Anyway who's getting sex tonight apart from me?

-He is. -Oh, relax,

it's nothing like that.

But seriously, that was fast.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah. It's not a date or a big deal.

It's just being free, okay?

[Nathan] And Ben was free.

Free to live his life, make his own choices.

It didn't stop me worrying he was making

some choices a bit too soon.

[Nathan] New day. New options.

I could stay in bed all morning,

maybe seize the day.

Or dig out my wedding ring.

The only relic of a closed chapter

in my life.

[Retta] Good morning.

Morning. What's this?

Just tea and toast.

I didn't think you'd want anything too fancy.

No, I don't. Why do I get breakfast in bed?

In tough times it's important to eat well.

Keep your strength up.

No one's actually going to believe

-that I'm okay, are they? -Oh, you're brave.

It's admirable. But you don't have to be.

How come he gets breakfast in bed?

-That's what I said. -Because Nathan

needs a little bit of love right now.

Do you?

Have you guys seen Ben this morning?

-Mm-mmm. -No.

I guess he's still sleeping.

Do you mind knocking on his door

-and seeing if he's home? -Honey?

I'm not doing that. It's weird.

Fine. I'll go.

Happy to do what I can for a friend.

Toast?

Now if she starts to cry just try and be strong.

It's going to be good for her.

-Oh, I know, I know. -I wasn't talking to you.

Oh.

[Dave] Ruby's going to be fine.

It's your separation anxiety I'm worried about.

[Julie] What are you kidding? I've been craving

a few uninterrupted hours to get things done.

Well at least don't try and do too much.

Yes, well that's good in theory.

What about the, uh, the BAS statements?

Ah, let's see,

overdue accounts, "friendly" reminders to customers--

Nathan will do all of that stuff.

You just give yourself some free time

and, uh, you know do something indulgent.

I could always do an extra load

and finally see the bottom of the laundry basket?

I tried.

Well, the main thing is you're going to be making friends

and having fun aren't you darling?

Yes.

And I'll see you at the courthouse.

Yes, you will.

Oh, I wish I hadn't said anything last night.

You were so confident before.

Coby's going to be okay and you are,

you're doing everything you can. Okay?

[Julie] Hey.

-Good morning, Ben. -Hi.

Is that an early start or a late finish?

And I thought it was our other son

-we had to be worried about. -Hmm.

[door shuts]

Are you just getting in?

Is everything okay?

Yeah I'm fine, just hungry. I'd kill for a coffee.

Ah, well, I'm just getting the coffee machine going.

Take a seat.

Oi. Did you just get home?

I'm beginning to wish I'd snuck in.

No, I'm not fussed. You had a big night.

-Good on you. -You know what?

I'm going to skip the coffee. Thanks.

No, no, no, no, no, no, um, stay.

Me and Carbo are just about to head out

for a walk, weren't we?

-More coffee? -Can wait.

Come on.

What's the matter?

[Ben] Nothing.

Look I know it can be hard to let go and move on.

No, I really just want to get something to eat

-and have some sleep. -It's fine. I'm just saying

you don't need to beat yourself up about it.

I know you're trying to help but you really don't know

what you're talking about. Me and Mel

-didn't just break up. -Yeah, of course.

You know, you could call Sammy if you wanted to.

Look her up on Facebook, run into her down the street

-in five years' time. -Ben, I'm sorry.

Don't act like you know what's best for me

because you haven't got a clue.

[phone beeping]

Hello?

Hell... Jake?

Rachel, I just called you.

Jake, oh, sorry no didn't I call you?

It didn't even ring.

No, it didn't. [chuckles]

Wow.

It's really good to hear your voice.

Um, I was just wondering if you wanted to meet up?

Um, I could be at your place in an hour?

What, you can just leave work like that?

Yeah, well I'm not really getting much done here

anyway you know.

Well, I wish I could drop everything

but Dave's going off to Coby's sentencing

so I'm kind of on my own.

You're not going to court?

I doubt I'll be much good as a character reference.

[Jake laughs]

I was joking.

Right. Yeah, of course sorry.

Ah, what about after work?

Sure. Um, will I just come over?

Sure.

Okay, great, well I'll see you then.

-Bye. -Bye.

[phone beeps]

[Nathan] You doing my work for me, dad?

No, I'm working on my reference for Coby.

How was his last night of freedom?

Ah, yeah it was... It was pretty low key.

It didn't look that way for Ben.

I saw him getting home.

Oh. Right.

How come he got separated from you guys?

Well, he got talking to a girl and the next thing I knew

he was off.

-And you didn't stop him? -Why would I?

-Well, I think you know why. -Well, he can make

-his own decisions. -Well, you know it's too soon

for him to go home with someone.

I thought you were smarter than that.

Well, I can't believe you're having a go

at me about this. I was trying to help.

I'm not having a go at you, I just think you should

-look out for-- -[Coby] Bad timing?

No, it's fine.

How are you feeling?

You know, okay. I'm a bit nervous.

-No, you'll be right. -I need to borrow a jacket.

I've left the court suit back at Coolong.

Yeah, okay. I've got a few that should fit you.

A $150 for 24 pound injectors?

[Coby] Oh, I could get them for half that.

[Nathan] Here you go. This'll do the job.

And the price of freedom is looking like a tool.

I actually like that jacket.

Well, you know, I suppose it's good.

I'm supposed to look like a nerd.

Nerds don't, uh, go to jail.

[Retta] You look good.

Nathan's got a great sense of style.

You should, you should trust him.

[Coby] Yeah, no, it's good.

Really.

Thanks for the loan.

I might offer this joker a $120.

[Coby] No, mate, if you want to buy car parts,

buy them off the web.

[Carbo] Oh, I'm not sure if I'd risk them, mate.

Me and my mates used to sell stuff online all the time.

We'd find guys looking for parts

and then go out and...

source them.

From?

Just from around.

You'd be amazed what you can find

if you're looking in the right place.

In court today, any little stories like that

just, maybe just keep them to yourself.

Yeah, right.

That's very wise advice, Nathan.

So wise, so well dressed.

Sorry, honey?

Nothing.

[door shuts]

[Paul] Rachel Rafter.

What's been going on with you lately?

Nothing much. Why?

Don't look so worried. It's all good.

If I could clone you, I would.

Sorry? [chuckles]

Your recent work's been terrific.

At EMB there's rewards for people that deserve them.

Oh, Paul, I'm just doing my job.

I like it here.

Think you'd like it as much in the New York office?

What?

We're looking for somebody to head up the creative team

in New York targeting the youth market.

Would you be interested?

Oh, my God. Seriously?

Yes, seriously.

I don't need an answer right now.

Take a couple of days.

[Rachel] Uh...

Oh, hello, mate.

I thought you'd be crashed out for hours.

I just needed a coffee and a shower.

Sorry about before.

I was just a bit...

It had been a long night.

No that's cool.

I heard you saw dad this morning.

Yeah, I don't think he's too happy with me.

Well, if it's any consolation,

he blames me for letting you go off with that girl.

You told him about that?

Well, yeah. He caught you coming home.

He didn't catch me.

I'm not saying one night stands

are some kind of a crime.

That's not what happened.

I was out with Emma and her friends until late.

We were having fun.

And then her friends went home

and it was closing time and the lights came on.

She went to get her jacket and I just bailed.

I didn't say goodbye.

Oh, well I'm sure she was fine.

I didn't even check to see if she got a cab okay.

Ben, don't beat yourself up.

She was probably wondering

how the hell she was going to get rid of you.

I just walked all night.

It gave me time to think.

About what?

Mel.

Always Mel.

And how I'm ever supposed to stop thinking about her.

I didn't mean to say that

you breaking up with Sammy wasn't hard.

You're right though, it's different.

It's just you seem so okay with it now.

And I don't know how to get there.

For what it's worth it took a year.

Maybe I just need to give it more time.

Yeah.

Over, around and then through.

[Coby] Can we just not worry about the tie thing?

[Dave] No, I don't know.

A tie looks like you're making an effort.

But the jacket's enough.

All right, all right. Forget the tie. Lose the tie.

I just don't want to leave anything to chance.

-All right? -Dave. It's okay.

If I get chucked in the big house today,

it's not going to be your fault.

Hey, how many times have I got to tell you,

you are not going to jail.

-[Nathan] Oi. -Hey, Nath.

-You nervous? -No. Good as gold.

What have I got to be worried about?

Oh, hell, there is my lawyer.

I'll just... I've got to slash.

I'll be back in a sec.

Yeah. G'day. [sighs]

I'm sorry I didn't get here sooner.

I got caught up talking to Ben.

How's he going?

He's okay.

I know you're doing what you can for him.

I'm sorry to blame you.

Dad, I...

I've made a decision about work.

I think I want to find something new.

It's not because of this morning, is it?

No, no, no, I've been thinking about it for a while.

I just wanna...

I wanna to find a new challenge.

Like what?

I don't know.

That's kind of the point.

It sounds a bit vague.

That's what I like about it,

not knowing what's coming next.

A whole big new adventure, eh?

Yeah.

Dad got it.

This was my chance.

Time to exercise some freedom.

Just stick to what we've discussed

and we'll get you through this.

[Coby] Right. Right. Right.

Okay. I've got to get in there.

-See you soon. -Okay, thank you.

Yeah, thanks, ah, Mr. Troy, Mr. Stanley.

-Thank you. -Just relax dad, okay.

You can't go in there looking shifty.

-You too mate. -Mate you know, I'm trying.

It's hard to look cool when your neck's on the block.

-My mouth's dry as. -Do you want a drink?

Yeah, thank you. That would be great.

Hey and thank you for all you're doing today.

I haven't done anything yet.

Well, no, but you're taking the day off work.

And I know you've got stuff going on with your family.

No, it's nothing.

No, what you're doing is pretty awesome.

A new baby, and Rachel, and Ben, and Nathan, you know.

They've all got stuff going on and you,

you still find time for me so...

if I go to jail today, it won't be your fault.

That's for sure.

[footsteps approaching]

-[Julie] Hi. -[Coby] Hey.

Julie's here. I've got to go.

-Inside. -[Julie] Okay. Sorry. Ah.

Were you waiting for me?

Ah, we were just heading in.

How are your nerves?

Gone.

Good.

You see, when Coby was growing up he was, um,

taught to take the can,

care for no-one, trust no-one,

it's all dog eat dog.

Ah, it's a lesson that's pretty tough to unlearn

but that's what he's doing.

You know, even today when he's terrified

about what his future may hold, his, ah,

his main concern was for my family

and how this day was going to impact on my business,

not for himself.

The crime that Coby confessed to

impacted upon you directly, did it not, Mr. Rafter?

Yes, it did.

And yet you're here today to speak on his behalf?

Yeah, because I believe Coby is genuinely sorry.

He doesn't deny his involvement in the crime

and, ah, I think he's prepared to accept whatever punishment

is dished out to him, but I believe

that if he's shown some trust and respect,

he'll pay us all back.

Ten fold.

I'm free! I'm freaking free!

-Thank you! -Oh, I'm happy for you!

Woo! Oh, Dave, mate,

what you said in there, you're a legend!

Yeah, yeah, bond's a good result.

-You did all right. -Congratulations mate.

-Natho! -Yes.

Thank you for the jacket mate and I promise you,

I will never have to wear it again.

[Nathan] Ah, it's all good.

Shame about the criminal record.

[Coby] Oh, who gives a toss!

At least they didn't lock me up and you know, so what

if some employers won't employ.

You know I only want to work for you,

and Jake, and Nathan!

Yeah, well I wouldn't count on this one being there.

-Hey? What? -Well, I told him earlier

I've decided to look for something else.

-Um... -Oh, right.

-Life. -Life.

I've got to call Jake. I've got to call Jake!

Hang on. So, what, what, what, brought this on?

Well, I'll tell you later.

We'll have drinks with Coby back at our place.

Well now, we've got to pick up Ruby.

-Then I'll see you later. -Oh, ah... Nath... But...

Dave?

[Donna] Ben. How are you?

-Great. -Great.

You know him?

What does that look like to you?

Ah, a flower.

Not a swan?

It's more like a napkin than a swan.

You're right.

I made a wrong fold somewhere.

Ben, this is Emma. Emma, this is Ben.

We've met. Last night.

Were you at the nightclub too?

No, we met here.

But you weren't rostered on last night.

-No. -You work here?

[Donna] Yes, he's my new barman.

Oh...

Oh, and I've got bingo to set up.

Don't distract him too much,

there's a lot of lunchtime pensioners.

Yes, mom.

-She's your mom? -Yes. You work here?

-My boss is your mom? -That's right.

Is this where you apologize for last night?

I am sorry.

I was having a great time.

Until?

I wasn't.

It's complicated. I'm sorry.

Can I get you a drink?

I don't know, can you?

Lemon lime and bitters please.

Sure.

And maybe a sandwich.

-Sure. -Chicken and avocado?

Sure.

And maybe some French fries.

Sure.

If Nathan wants to make his way,

-I can respect that. -Yes, no, I do, too.

Oh, would you look at that.

-Another masterpiece. -[Julie chuckles]

We're going to have to get a bigger fridge.

Okay, how did Coby go?

A good behavior bond.

-No prison time then? -No.

Well, locking that kid up just would've made

a bad situation worse.

-Ah, thanks, dad. -Hello sweetie.

[Julie] You know, it just worries me

that Nathan's going to be unemployed

with no real idea about what he wants to do.

Well, what are you talking about?

Nathan's decided to quit.

Oh? Wants to stand on his own two feet, does he?

Yeah. Something like that.

-Goodo. -Yes.

Well, it would be goodo if he had something

resembling a plan.

When are you two gonna learn to stop worrying?

Oh, well that's easy for you to say.

I never gave you anything to worry about.

Ha-ha.

Your mother has a selective memory.

-Did you know that? -[gurgling]

-Hey. -Hey.

-How are you? -I'm good.

-Yeah, long time no-- -Long time no--

[both laugh]

-Hi. -Hey.

Oh, that's great news about Coby, yeah?

-Yes, he's rapt. -I bet, yeah.

Yeah, fingers crossed I, um...

I get the same result.

-Oh, yeah. -[chuckles]

Um, do you want a drink?

Do you want a cup of tea? Do you--

No, that's all right. I'm fine, thanks.

Oh...

[sighs]

Look, uh, I'm sorry I've been so distant.

But, this is tough, Rach.

It's doing my head in not knowing.

I know. It's okay. I get it.

I miss you.

I miss us.

I miss you, too.

Uh...

I don't know how you get past

seeing me be hauled off by the police

or having some idiot spray paint "Rapist"

-on the wall-- -No, Jake, Jake--

Just... Look, I'm just saying,

I don't know how you get past that.

Hey, I am here, aren't I?

-And we're good? -Yes.

[sighs]

Rah! My life could be

-so different right now. -[Nathan] Oh, yes.

You could be meeting your new cell mate

and fighting over who's mommy and who's daddy.

Oh, yeah, keep going. It might get funny.

[Ben] No, you can laugh about it now.

-You've got a future. -[Coby] Yeah,

but I came this close to blowing it.

-[mouthing] -Uh, Nath,

go there one more time, I will flog you.

Oh, I have to tell you about my genius idea

to make me richer than the Google guys.

-You gave me the idea. -What? What did I do?

Well, you know that spare car parts scam

-you used to run? -Hey, are you nuts?

I'm on a bond.

I can't get into anything dodgy.

No, no, it's nothing illegal.

You said that people are always online

looking for car parts, right?

Well, what if there was a website that you could go to

that found the parts for you?

But you don't know anything about cars.

No, but you do.

Yeah, but I've got a job. I'm busy.

Yeah, well I just need a bit of advice

-from time to time. -Time to time?

Nath, you don't know a diff from a door handle.

That's... true,

but it might not just be car parts.

It could be whitegoods, toys, furniture.

Everything gets traded on the net.

If you say so.

Just you wait. Just you wait.

You might want to jump on board early

because when this thing takes off,

it's going to go boom!

-[imitates explosion] -[Nathan] Yes!

Just wait, just wait.

[Donna] I believe I said sparkling.

Oh, you did too.

You shouldn't have such a late night

when you've got to work the next day.

You look like a half made bed.

-Sorry. -Tidy is as tidy does.

What does that even mean?

Not sure she knows but it sounds good.

Can I get you anything else?

Another drink or a coffee?

You still haven't told me why you bolted.

[sighs] Like I said, it's complicated.

Well, code for "None of your business".

You know, seriously, I'm just...

I'm not in a very good place right now.

Hmm, smooth line.

Original.

I'm guessing maybe there's another girl

in this story somewhere?

You know, you should've just been

upfront with me from the start.

You know, I've got lots of work to do.

Can I get you anything else?

Are you sure you won't disappear

in the middle of ordering it?

Look, Emma, I apologized and I meant it

but right now I just want to finish

-my shift, okay? -Then what?

Home to the girlfriend? Wife?

No, nothing like that.

Okay, so you're breaking up or she broke your heart

and I was just some kind of rebound

and you lost your nerve.

I was married and my wife died in a car accident.

I'm sorry.

I haven't said it like that before.

It was last year.

I thought it was time that I moved on

but I wasn't ready.

You're right.

I should've been more up front from the beginning.

At least now I can see why you weren't.

It feels better to just get it out there,

so thanks for that.

I'm glad my nagging's good for something.

Friends?

Well, you're the boss' daughter.

-I don't have any choice. -[chuckles]

[door opens]

I, uh...

I should've been straight up. That's how this started.

You were trying to protect me, I get that.

Yeah, but you got hurt by something

that I should've handled better,

-like so much better. -Jake,

I'm on your side every time, okay?

I feel like we keep saying the same things

-over and over again. -Okay, all right. All right.

Well, then there's only one question

that needs to be answered then that should be the end of it.

I love you.

I've never...

I've never been more sure of anything in my life.

[chuckles]

What I want to know is do you love me?

Yes, I love you.

Of course I love you.

Then that's all that matters.

You're right.

That's all there is.

It's on the house.

Are you sure?

Mom's a stickler for rules.

-I meant on me. -Hmm.

Speaking of which, I'm off to look busy.

You're still here?

Just doing some reading before class.

Oh, I'm surprised you're even going

considering how late you got home last night.

I'm fine, mom.

He's very nice but I think he's got issues.

Yeah, I'm aware of that now.

Nice ears though.

Has he?

[Donna] Nice face.

Kind.

I guess.

-Nice smile. -Yeah.

Mom, you might as well know we nearly went home together.

Well, yeah, I thought we might.

-Who? -Me and Ben.

Well, lucky you didn't.

That might've been a bit awkward bumping into him

-in the bathroom. -Not to our house, his.

Anyway it doesn't matter. It didn't happen

and it's not going to, so just forget about it.

Done. Ben who?

-Sorry? -Nothing.

-Who are you? -Okay, mom, um, that's enough.

I've got to go.

So you'd never buy car parts online?

Like what?

I don't know. Windscreen wipers?

[Carbo] I don't need windscreen wipers.

Well, I'd buy them online, Nathan.

-Why not? -What do you need?

-Not much. -Well, what about other stuff?

-Like a new stereo? -No.

No? Just like that? Nope?

This is the most boring party ever!

Come on, Carbo. Just help me out here.

Look, I need to hear it.

You know see it with my own eyes, okay?

Seat covers?

Why would I want to buy seat covers?

I'm just asking you to open your mind!

-Just imagine-- -Are we going to order pizzas?

Well, I'd use the shopping service, Nathan.

No surprises there.

So you'd really never buy anything online?

Hello? What is this? Groundhog Day?

Look, I just can't be bothered hunting around, okay?

What if someone did the hunting for you?

You told them what you want and then they find it.

Huh?

-Maybe. -Uh-huh!

Yes! Now, we're getting somewhere.

I think it sounds like a great idea.

Nathan, you're brilliant.

[Coby] I could use another beer.

This conversation's doing my head.

[Nathan] Yes. Does anyone else want a drink?

Ah, no, not for me.

I know what's going on here.

-Where? -You're cutting my grass.

You're divorced and playing the field.

Well, there is one field that is closed, out of bounds.

-Hmm? -What?

Yeah, I've got my eye on you.

Breakfast in bed,

'you're brilliant, Nathan',

walking around strutting your stuff.

Strutting my stuff?

Yeah, your freshly showered stuff.

Carbo, Retta's just concerned.

I actually wish she'd ease off a little.

It's all her, is it?

You're just so perfect she can't help herself?

Carbo, there is nothing, zero from me or from her.

-[Retta] Everything okay? -Yeah.

Just giving Casanova here the lowdown.

I'm going upstairs.

What's going on?

Honey?

Don't worry. They'll have really noisy make up sex

and then it'll be like it never happened.

Yeah, no, it's the fact that you think that's normal

-that worries me the most. -[chuckles]

[Nathan] People are free to see the world

however they like.

Do you mind if we just lie here?

Whatever you want.

[Nathan] But sometimes, it's not freedom we want,

but the feeling that we belong to someone

and they belong to us.

-Ahh! -Oh! Oh! Oh, I'm sorry!

-That's all right. -Sorry! I didn't see you!

Here give it to me. I'll wash it.

No, I'll go and get a clean one.

What no but you still have to wash it.

I know. I'll just get a fresh one.

Come on, Just give it to me.

Retta, just stop!

What's going on? Have I done something wrong?

What? Do I have to spell it out to you?

Now, I don't want Carbo coming in here

and seeing you trying to rip my clothes off.

[gasps] That's not what I'm doing!

Didn't he say anything to you last night?

-About what? -About us.

He's jealous. He thinks we're flirting.

-Come with me. -No. No, no, no.

Sweet.

I am going to inhale you.

Nick Karandonis, put down that bacon and look at me!

-I need your full attention. -What's going on?

Nathan, do you have any

romantic interest in me at all?

-Do we have to do this? -Answer me!

No.

[Retta] Nice and loud.

Do you have any romantic interest in me?

-No! -No.

Now ask me the same question.

-I just want to go for a jog. -Ask me!

Do I have to do this? We all know the answer!

Oh, Retta, are you interested in me, romantically?

Not one bit.

I'm a total one man girl.

And there's my man.

Right there.

-Come here, baby! -[giggles]

-[Retta] I missed you baby. -[Carbo] I missed you.

[Jake moaning]

Call me later when you're free?

Yeah, for sure.

Okay. Bye.

[Nathan]Sometimes relationships

put limits on freedom.

For good, or bad.

[Nathan] Are you with all your friends?

-Hey. -[Nathan] Hey.

You okay?

[sighs]

I got offered a job in New York.

Wow. Wow, no wonder you look so miserable.

Just, it feels really big.

It feels life changing.

I don't just want to run away, Nathan.

From Jake you mean.

Well, it would be the easy way out.

It wouldn't even be like breaking up really.

Is that where you guys are at now?

I want to stand by him, I do.

I know he's going through hell.

But...

everything's changed between us.

Deep down I knew it was over with Sam,

long before I was ready to admit it.

You know I was happy to just settle.

[Rachel] Hmm.

She was the one that was brave enough to call it.

[sighs]

-Brave. -Yeah.

I hated her for it at the time.

Have you seen him yet?

-Yeah, we talked. -Okay.

What did he say about New York?

I didn't tell him.

And please don't say anything to anyone. Please?

Till I sort it out in my own head.

My advice, brutal honesty.

Isn't that what you want from him?

Oh, hello.

How did you go with that girl the other night?

-[Ben] Her name's Emma. -Yeah, so?

Did you seal the deal?

What are you doing on our couch?

I crashed here.

Hey, you know your brilliant but boring business idea?

I reckon I can find some time to help you out.

-Oh, really? -What business idea?

Well, I... I'm thinking of starting a website

that sort of, finds things that people want to buy,

kind of like, um,

ike bargainsearches.com or something.

Catchy.

It sounds like a bit of time and money up front though,

registering the company, building the site.

Well, time I've got plenty of.

I'm not exactly rolling in cash.

I can loan you the money.

I've got all that insurance I haven't touched.

Oh, oh,

I don't really want to start this thing in debt.

No, it could be a gift.

-I don't mind. -Ah, it's kind of vital

that I make this happen myself but thank you.

[Coby] When grandad needed money,

things would just disappear.

I'd find my BMX in the window of the local cashiers

and have to wait for some kid to buy it

before I'd steal it back.

I had in mind

that revolutions and wars are fought for.

It's worth a bit of sacrifice.
