[theme music playing]

[Nathan] It doesn't matter if you're one or 100,

risks are a part of life.

The baby monitor?

Check.

Night light?

Check.

[sighs] It's a miracle.

I thought she'd never go to sleep.

If you wake her, I will hurt you.

Wait, is that thing on?

Yeah.

[Nathan] The only thing riskier,

is not taking risks at all.

-Oh, hey how'd you-- -[Nathan] Shh, shh!

[Ben] Why are you home so early?

-[Julie] Um-- -Dinner finished early.

It's not even eight o'clock yet.

Don't you trust us?

Yes. Of course I trust you. Ha!

We can look after our own little sister.

-Yeah. -You didn't need to worry.

Oh, who says I was worried?

-[Dave] She was worried. -[Julie] Don't you start.

You really don't think that two grown men

can look after one tiny toddler?

Well, apparently you can.

So, how was she?

-Oh, she's exhausting. -Ha!

It's like chasing a two foot tornado around the house.

See? Not so easy, is it?

It would be easy if you weren't such a helicopter mom.

A what?

Oh, doof, doof, doof, a helicopter!

[Ben] You're too protective.

Oh, ha! I am not.

Well, yeah, you are,

which forces us to be helicopter brothers,

watch her every move.

'Cause you would go postal at us

if she got even the tiniest bump.

Look, I am not a helicopter.

Oh, no, no, no. No. I am free range.

[laughs] Ah no, no, no.

You were free range when we were kids.

It's a different story with Rubes.

Dave, do you hear what they're saying?

-English breakfast or green? -Oh!

Ruby's got to be allowed to take risks.

Ruby takes risks.

Good to hear.

Because we wouldn't want our little sister

-growing up a wuss. -Would we?

I know this is going to sound soft

but I'm seriously nearly ready for bed.

This is crazy. I mean, we're young single guys

at the prime of our lives and we're ready for bed.

Yeah, well, it is a work night.

Yeah, well, we should be laughing

in the face of work night.

-[laughs] -Oh, let's go out.

Now?

Yeah, come on. All of us. Come on.

Well, do you want to go?

Well, I'm in my PJs.

Come on, it's only 8:00.

But you go.

Yeah! Call Jake and Coby.

Have a night out with the boys.

You're the best.

-Boys night! -Boys night!

-Yeah! -Now we just need a venue.

Well, I know a place.

Ooh, good one, Benno.

But I was thinking more on the lines

of some place fun.

No offense.

No, seriously this place is meant to be cool.

Let me make a call.

-Ah. -Oh, bingo night

at the Boat Club. Here we come.

No way. If that's his plan, he's ditched

'cause we're going out for

-a boys night! -Boys night!

-Yeah! -[Nathan groans]

[Carbo] So what is this place, Benno?

[Nathan] Yeah, man of mystery.

[Ben] Oh, wait, Dad's coming.

[Carbo] Did you know this is my second time out

since I've been off the market?

What a shocking blow to the female club-going community.

So where are you guys off to?

Uh, we're going to a club that Ben knows.

We're going to meet Jake and Coby there.

Well, don't let them drink too much.

They've got to work tomorrow.

That goes for you too, mate.

'Cause that's what you do on a boys night,

you stop each other from having fun.

Yeah, Pops, chill.

Helicopter dad. [whooshes]

Don't say I didn't warn you.

So what's the name of this club?

-You'll see. -How'd you hear about it?

-[car honks] -Someone from work.

-Who? -Well, does it matter?

Yeah, if it's that chef with the lazy eye it does.

Look, look, how do I know

I'm not trading a night with Retta

for a joint with sawdust on the floor?

-I guess you don't. Get. -[Nathan] G'day.

-Get in there. -[man] How are you guys?

-Drive on mate. -[Carbo] Whoo-hoo!

-[upbeat music playing] -[siren wailing]

Ben Rafter.

[upbeat music playing]

No sawdust.

[Jake] How come they let us skip the line?

Hey, they didn't even pat me down.

-Disappointed? -Yes.

Hey, you must be the Rafter party?

-Yes. -Yeah.

-Mr. Rafter? -Yo!

Hey, I'm Courtney. Welcome to Chrome.

-Thank you. -I think she means me.

Oh, well, you can't win them all.

Me, not you. I'm sure you're, um...

I'm sure you're very used to winning,

not that I'm not.

G'day, I'm Ben. Thanks for getting us in.

Hey, no worries.

The manager sends his apologies.

He can't be here

but he's asked me to take care of you.

-Great. -Awesome.

Well, this way.

[upbeat music playing]

[Nathan laughs] I love it.

[Courtney] Our cocktail for the week

is a mint and basil Saketini.

Can I tempt you?

Ah, $24.

No, a beer thanks.

-Yeah. -Actually,

water from the tap.

You're guests of the management.

Whatever you want, it's on us.

Oh, then Saketinis all round!

-Yeah! -Right.

All righty. Coming up, guys.

What's the deal, mate? Spill.

When you work in the same industry,

you look after each other.

Yeah, but that gets your name on the door, not VIP treatment

and drinks that are worth $120 a round.

[Ben] Okay, yeah, well, I'm surprised too

but if this is how they do business,

who are we to argue?

Yeah.

[upbeat music playing]

Go and be sociable.

Oh, no, no, girls like that don't go for guys like me.

Okay. So tonight you're not a guy like you,

you're a VIP.

After my cocktail.

[Carbo] Go and talk to her!

No, no.

What's the worse that's going to happen?

Uh, rejection, public humiliation.

No, I'll pass.

[sighs]

I mean, just because Ruby hasn't split her lip

or banged her head,

suddenly I'm a helicopter mother?

Well, it's not my fault she's got perfect balance.

I'm not overprotective.

We're not raising a wuss, are we?

Just in case I fall out of bed.

[Julie] Oh, ha-ha.

-Oh, come on, it's funny. -Mmm.

Ruby's in good hands. Everyone knows that.

Yeah, well, why do our sons say otherwise?

Because they're evil.

They're the ones we failed with, not Ruby.

Mmm.

Actually, could you just give me a hand?

[laughs]

Oh, right, now it's funny.

-Yeah. -Okay.

[Nathan] Sorry.

[Carbo] Ooh, I'll get that.

-Thanks. -Can I have one?

-Of course. -Thank you.

-Hey. -Hey.

-How did that go down? -That was freight.

Uh, freight?

That's right. I went to say fantastic and great

and I said freight.

So, uh, is it packed like this most nights?

Um, Thursday to Saturday,

we turn away more people then we let in

but the rest of the week's not as crazy.

Right, so tonight is...

A quiet night for us, yeah.

[upbeat music playing]

Hey, will you guys be right for ten minutes?

I'm just gonna go and take a small break.

-Mmm-hmm. -Go for it.

Do you want to see the view from the roof? It is stunning.

Uh, no, I've got to go to the bathroom so...

[Courtney] Okay. Cool.

The bathroom? What's wrong with you?

I've got to go. I'm busting.

No, no, no, no. When a hot woman comes onto you,

you have no bladder. It's irrelevant.

Everything is. Except the one thing.

Okay, she wasn't coming onto me.

Oh, you're just gutless!

You're gutless and stupid.

No, he gives stupid a bad name.

-Yeah, freight. -[laughs]

Uh, you know what? Excuse me.

Hey, what if the cubicles are full?

[Coby] Oh, look out! He'll have to use the trough!

Ooh! Ah...

how was the roof?

It's... It's packed.

It's hardly worth the effort.

-Right. -Yep.

Look, I'm sorry if I, um, I came off as rude before.

I'm just... I'm a little out of practice.

I noticed.

It's a nice change from all the smoothies we get in here.

It's funny, you know, so many men,

not one of them my type, 'till recently.

Why don't we get a quiet drink after my shift?

Yeah, I'll just have to see

what the guys are doing.

-Okay whatever. -No what... What I mean is...

why wait for later?

[upbeat music playing]

Ah. Did you fall in?

[Jake] No, he was too busy covering the seat

-with all that toilet paper. -[laughs]

He's had sex.

[laughs] Yeah, right.

Look at her.

Now, look at him.

He has been up to something!

No, not the deed. We would have seen him leave.

He did it all right but he didn't leave.

No, I reckon it was in the cubicle.

No way! That's the holy grail of risky rooting.

-Did you do it in the dunny? -No.

No, I'd never take a lady to the bathroom.

It was in the broom closet.

[all cheer]

Whoo! Nathan Rafter, my new hero!

[Coby] Yeah! Whoo!

Okay, spill. Come on, run me through it.

I'm not giving details.

What sort of desperado do you think I am?

I don't want details.

Was there a bench? Now, were you standing?

-Were you facing each other? -Drop it!

And I don't want it spread around.

As if.

How was it?

Nathan had sex in the broom closet with a beautiful woman.

Nathan!

Yep, and he doesn't want to share.

He knows I've never done it and I never will.

Why?

Well, because I'm with you now.

So he's being selfish.

Oh, oh, well.

Come on then.

Come to bed with boring old Retta.

Oh, no, I didn't mean you were boring, darling.

No, I didn't.

[Retta shrieks]

Please explain, Mr. Rafter.

What?

Well, the special treatment.

Don't tell me they're trying to poach

the Boat Club's best barman?

That's it.

Ben? What...

I know someone who knows someone,

who knows the owner.

Who?

It's your turn to clean up.

Who?

Dave tells me you went out clubbing last night.

Oh, yeah.

I called that number you gave me.

I got the five star treatment.

Yeah, and?

What can I say? The place is a gold mine.

Right, so anybody who invests in the next joint's

got to be sitting pretty, right?

So, what do you reckon?

You reckon you might be interested?

There's still a lot that I don't know.

Like what?

Like, who exactly they are, your mate's son.

He's business partner with Chris, who owns the club.

-I told you that. -Yeah, yeah, I know.

I just, um,

I'm trying to get it straight in my head.

Like, um...

where exactly you know your mate from?

You mean is he a crim like me?

No, he's a bloke I used to work with

back in the old days

and we kept touch even though our lives went...

But he made something of himself

and he taught his son to do the same.

So you'd trust his advice?

In a flash.

But listen don't... Don't believe what I say.

You talk to Chris. See what you think.

What's he like?

Well, I've never even met him myself yet.

But you've spoken to him?

Only over the phone.

I'm in the same boat as you, mate.

One step at a time, eh.

Listen, um...

I know it's a big investment for both of us.

It's everything I've got.

But you call the shots.

You're putting in the big bucks so...

I don't want to push you

if you're not prepared to go there.

I want you to feel right about how you use Mel's money.

How do I feel right about money

I got for all the wrong reasons?

Yeah.

So you'll come with me?

Where to?

To meet the guy.

I mean, you're investing too, right?

Oh, yeah, no problem.

One step at a time.

Absolutely.

Tom, do you want some brekkie?

Uh, no, no, no. I'm, ah, I'm fine, thanks.

Well, obviously.

[Nathan] I tell you things.

Like my closet sex.

I could've kept that to myself.

You couldn't if you tried

and I'd be very careful about using the term "closet sex."

Mmm. Still, I don't know why

you confide in Tom and not your own brother.

All right, but you have to promise not to preach

and don't tell Dad. Not yet.

Okay. It sounds ominous, but okay.

The owner of the club from last night...

-[Nathan] Mmm-hmm. -...is opening a new place

and he's looking for investors.

Is this the business idea you've been talking about?

Yeah.

And Tom's the friend of a friend.

And you're thinking of using Mel's insurance money.

What else am I going to do with it?

Oh, how about putting it

in a high interest bank account?

That's got to be safer.

Maybe I'm not looking for safe.

I'm serious. You're talking about a lot of money.

No, I'm talking about making money.

Big money. For all of us.

Yeah, through a friend of a friend of Tom's.

Just relax, okay?

I haven't even decided that I'm doing it yet.

Yeah, but you're thinking of it,

without talking to me, or Dad.

Don't stress. It's my thing.

-[groans] -My money.

Yeah, okay. Just tell me if you go there

you'll get it checked out?

Properly. You know the books, lawyers?

Yes. I'm not stupid. It's just an idea. Relax.

[Nathan] It's one thing to take chances,

but where does risk end, and recklessness begin?

[Dave] You go out on a work night

and I'm the one who suffers.

Yeah. No, we'll be right. We're good.

-Good morning! -Oh!

[Dave] It's good to see that someone

showed a bit of restraint.

[laughs]

[Dave] Did you tie one on, too?

No, Nathan just came along to interview

for the cleaner's position, didn't you mate?

-Did you get the job, Natho? -Oh, yeah,

he got the job all right.

Don't listen to them, they're idiots.

Yeah, no kidding. Come on. Let's move.

Come on, come on, come on.

Ow.

So, um, what've you got planned for the day?

I've got a list of approved constructions

from the council

so I'm going to see the builders

and ask to put in a tender.

Who would've thought a son of mine

would have such a knack for business?

Things are starting to pay off, mate.

[phone rings]

Nathan Rafter.

No, no worries.

I'll get my boss to give you a call back.

Okay. Right. Bye-bye.

Hmm, is that another job?

That is the third one today.

[Julie] Wow. Gee.

Keep this up and your father will be writing

"Rafter and Son" across the van. Ha.

I'm kidding.

Are you sure? Because I don't see this as my future

and Dad's been slapping me on the back a lot.

Oh, darling, he knows it's for only six months.

Why? Aren't you happy?

I'm happy if it's six months.

-It is. -[Nathan] Shh!

-What? -You'll wake up Ruby.

But she's not asleep.

Where is she?

Uh, outside I think.

-With Grandad? -No, by herself.

You let Ruby go outside on her own?

So?

To get sunburned, eat dirt, and fall out of a tree?

Well, that's life, darling, you know.

She's got to be free to run wild

and face danger head on.

[Nathan] I guess even the biggest risk takers

have to start somewhere.

[Chris] Right. Yeah, okay.

Thanks mate. Ta.

Don't worry, I'm nervous too.

I'm not nervous, neither should you be.

We don't want these guys to smell fear.

[Chris] I'll speak to you later. Thanks.

Right.

Sorry about that.

So what do you think?

Well, you're the expert but as far as I can see

you'll need to spend so much to spruce up the outside

you're better off buying another building altogether.

Well, we're keeping the facade as is.

With that crappy brick work?

Yeah, we save a lot of money buying these lost causes.

We just sensitively restore the outside

and inside we can make it whatever we want.

Like with this place?

Yeah, this place was ready for the bulldozer

when we bought it. Look at it now.

Oh, come on, if you expect us to believe

it's been that easy.

No, of course I don't.

It's a huge risk.

But the reality is the last four clubs that I have opened,

have worked.

And before that?

I failed. A lot.

But, uh, thanks to that I learned what not to do.

What sort of investment are you looking for?

Fifty grand, minimum.

[Ben] Well, I've got $125,000 to give.

Cool, and I want to take it from you.

-[chuckles] -Plus Tom's money.

Five grand.

That's $130,000 in total.

Great. So when can you have the cash?

Cash?

You didn't tell him it was a cash deal?

I didn't know it was.

[Chris] Well, that's the way these things roll.

If had to put things through the books,

it wouldn't be viable.

So, we hand you the money and what do we get?

Well, what you get is a massive return.

You know there's paperwork

so you can always track your investment

but cash, it oils the wheels.

It pays great dividends and cash works for me.

-Can I think on it? -Yeah, sure.

I'll give you till Monday arvo.

In the meantime, you talk to any

or all of my previous investors.

I've got nothing to hide.

Great. Great.

I'm still not convinced

in handing over a pile of cash.

Yeah, but he seems on the level

and I hear where he's coming from.

Cash gets discounts. It goes further.

Maybe you ring those investors and dig around, eh?

Are you happy paying cash?

Well, I've got less at stake than you.

Well, not exactly.

Not when it's all the money you've got.

[phone beeps]

Ah. It's Donna,

confirming today's amended shift times.

[Tom scoffs]

A 30 minute warning.

Well, there's a reason to take a punt right there.

[Ben] I know.

If this thing comes off, we'll be laughing.

Money to burn and not just me but Mom, Dad, you.

So, um, which way are you swinging?

I don't know. Cash...

Cash changes things.

I'm thinking no.

Right, well, your choice.

You... You've got to do what you think's right.

I'm sorry, Tom.

No, you do what you've got to.

Let's go get there.

[sighs]

[Emma] Ah.

[Ben] You're a neutral sort of person, right?

Oh, yeah. Favorite color white,

favorite ice cream vanilla.

Neutral all the way.

Okay, that came out wrong.

Yeah.

What I meant to say is that...

I've got a problem and I could use help

from someone who's not invested or related.

Much better. Shoot.

If you had the chance to put a lot of money

on a sure bet

that would set you up for the rest of your life,

would you do it?

Sure.

I mean, hypothetically,

it sounds like a dream come true

but realistically, whenever sure and bet

are side by side, run a mile.

Yeah, but it does happen.

I mean, people do hit the big time by taking a risk.

Yeah, how often have you seen it for yourself?

And how often have you seen people rewarded

for doing the hard yards?

Lots.

Just like my veggie patch.

The more work I put in, the better the crop.

Watch out world, he'll have a garden stall

at the local market before you know it.

I could live with that.

Then do it.

It's not going to make me rich.

It might make you happy.

[Donna] If the ashtrays were on the tables

in the first place then people wouldn't be

stubbing out their butts in the pot plants.

[Nathan] Ben was leaning towards the low risk option,

which left Tom with no options at all.

[Carbo] Whoa.

[sighs]

Phew.

If anyone says

"He's the luckiest man on earth,"

he's a liar, 'cause that title's mine.

Well, what if he got to have a nookie in a cupboard?

You think I'd trade what I've got for a cheap thrill?

No.

You wouldn't trade this for anything, would you?

Well, it's perfect now

and full of surprises

but you hear about those marriages that go wrong

because they let things get stale.

Okay, well, let's promise,

for as long as we live,

we keep surprising each other.

Promise.

[laughing]

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. No.

Hey, you would've been fun to work with today.

Oh, well, I worked. Just.

[Nathan] Hey, Tom. How's things?

Bloody wonderful.

Good. All right.

I'm going to take off. Do you want a beer?

No, no, no. I'm just going to sit for a minute

and then I've got to head.

I've got one word for you, "Saketini!"

Don't you swear at me!

I don't even want to hear that word again.

-See you guys. -[Coby] Later.

Mmm.

[Coby] You got any plans?

An early tea with Bree.

My God, you look like death.

Well, a big night. Are you right?

I don't think I'm going to be around much longer.

-Are you dying? -No, dopey, I'm leaving town.

Oh. Oh .[laughs]

That's a relief.

What, that I'm not going to die

or that I'm leaving town?

I don't want you to die.

But I cramp your style, don't I?

Where are you going?

I haven't figured that out yet.

[Coby] Why?

Things aren't working out for me here.

You've got a job and a place to stay.

I can't stay here forever

and the job doesn't pay enough for me

to get my own joint.

I thought I was onto something that'd give me

a bit of independence but it's fallen through.

Better luck next time, eh?

Not here.

-It's not my city. -[phone rings]

Do you reckon you'll find that magical city

where everything just works out for you?

Hello.

Yes, Donna.

The storeroom keys?

No, no, didn't I, uh...

No, no, no. I was just saying I'm pretty sure...

Oh, I've got them here in my pocket.

Yeah, I know, I know.

I'll bring them around right now. Yeah.

[sighs] Anywhere else'd be better than here.

-Hey. -Hey.

What's up?

Uh, the fan belt's worn out.

[groans] Ah! Damn it.

Shove over.

No, I'm all right. [chuckles]

What, you can't accept help from a girl?

No. You just look so nice,

I didn't want to get you dirty.

All right. On your bike.

-I haven't got all day. -Hello to you too.

Tea'll have to be at the Boat Club.

He's going to be fun.

[Ben] That's disgusting.

I'm just drinking what's left.

Have you made any decisions?

[Ben] I met the owner of the club.

-He seems like a good bloke. -Of course he does.

He wants your money.

Are you going for it or not?

'Cause judging from the mood, Tom was in I'm guessing no?

Yes?

Maybe?

Don't worry, I'm not doing it.

Oh, thank God.

-How come? -He wants cash.

-Cash? -Yeah, but it was mostly Emma.

She reminded me that if something's

too good to be true,

it probably is.

Gee, I'm glad somebody gave you good advice.

[chuckles] What's your problem?

Well, you reject everything I say.

You have to dig for each little scrap of information

when I'm the one with the business sense.

[laughs]

[Nathan] What?

Well, you're not exactly Bill Gates.

And Emma is?

Emma wants what's best for me.

So do I.

Emma's more objective.

Okay, fair enough.

You're not investing. That's good.

You really do listen to her, don't you?

Yeah. So?

Well, you think a lot of her, that's all.

Are you going somewhere with this?

-No. -What, you think

I could move on so soon after Mel?

-Of course not. -So don't even go there, okay?

I'm not. I'm just saying...

What?

Well, I'm just saying it's okay to move on

when the time's right.

Yeah, well, the time's not right.

And I'm not ready.

[Nathan] Sometimes the biggest risk

is saying what people don't want to hear.

An honest mistake.

Which is at least better than a dishonest one.

But don't let it happen again.

Mmm.

Remind me not to put in for any jobs around here.

That's her in a good mood.

It's my own bloody fault.

What's going on?

You promised me some chit chat.

-This is it. -What?

Well, this is as good as my life's going to get.

What are you talking about? At least you're out of prison.

Well, if this is what it's like to go straight,

maybe I'd rather be back in the game.

-Don't talk like that. -Oh, don't worry,

I'm not going to risk going back inside.

It's just hard to get to my age

and have nothing and be nobody.

-Hey Tom. Can I help you? -Hey, Em.

Uh, listen can I have a beer and a soda.

Have you met my granddaughter?

-No. -Bree.

Ah, Bree. Ben's cousin.

-Oh, yeah, Ben, Ben-- -Sorry?

-Uh, long lost cousin. -Pleased to meet you.

-[Bree] You too. -[Emma] I'll get your drinks.

You know you two have got something in common.

You've both got the hots for a bloke

and you're pretending you haven't.

-No. -Grandad...

I saw you make googly eyes at Jake

and I've seen your face when Ben shows up for work.

-Ignore him, he's lost. -Oh, have I?

There's such a thing as moving too slowly, my girl.

Sometimes you can miss the boat.

Take it from one who knows.

Do you even know me?

I don't do googly eyes.

Well, you wanted chit chat.

But I thought you and Phil were happy?

So did I, until I heard him humming.

But I thought that was just part of his OCD?

You know, calm himself down.

Yes, but he'd switched tunes,

to "Lady In Red".

Right.

-Sorry, I don't follow. -Carla,

at our support group, always wears red.

She's the lady in red.

Oh! That's a bit of a stretch, isn't it?

[Donna] Well, I confronted him about it.

-And? -He admitted it.

He's been seeing Carla.

-[gasps] No. -Yes.

-[Julie] Oh. -[Donna] And get this,

he's been staying at her place.

I couldn't even get him to hang around

for a lamb roast.

[Julie] Yeah, sorry. I...

I might just, um--

Julie, listen.

She's happy.

Right.

Yes I... I'm giving Ruby a longer rope.

Oh. Is the house child proofed?

To within an inch of its life.

[Donna] Still, you can never anticipate

what they might find. A dropped button.

You can't wrap kids in cotton wool, Jules.

It's how they learn.

What if she's learned how to climb up the wardrobe?

It could be tipping over right now.

Rubbish.

Ruby?

What if she's found a plastic bag?

She'll be right, Julie.

Donna!

Ah. Hey darling.

See?

Mmm.

[laughs]

I come in peace.

And bearing coffee.

Thank you.

You know, I remember Mel too, Ben.

I know.

And I'm sorry too

but Emma and I are just friends.

We're workmates.

-End of story. -Mmm-hmm.

A visitor for Benjamin.

-Hi. -Hi.

Has, um, Carbo surfaced yet?

-Uh, no. -[Retta] Oh.

-[Carbo] Babe? -Yeah?

Can you help me with something upstairs?

Coming!

What've you got there?

Supermarket strawberries to eat,

heritage ones to plants.

They had them at the market this morning

and I thought of Ben.

Oh.

Well, I'll leave you guys to it.

Did I come at the wrong time?

Yeah, you did.

But it's not your fault.

It's the right time now.

Hmm.

I was thinking about the advice I gave you.

Hmm?

And I thought,

who am I to say no to taking a risk?

You know I don't even know where this club is,

Anything about it.

anything about it, It's up to you.

It's your life, your choice.

You want to help me plant these?

Sure.

You wait till they fruit.

They're even yummier than these. Seriously.

They are the best thing in the world.

There's an ambitious statement.

So, uh, do you want to check it out?

-Check what out? -The club.

It'd be great to take another look

and find out what you think.

Okay.

Sweet.

Mmm. [chuckles]

-[Carbo] Oh, yeah. -[Retta] Oh.

-[Carbo] Oh. -[Retta] Oh!

-[Carbo] Ah. -[Retta laughs]

Oh, no.

Um, so is there anything in particular

I should know about these heritage strawberries?

Um, a bit of water, fertilizer if you like

but, um, they take care of themselves.

-That's very interesting. -Yes.

-[Retta] Yes! Yes! -[Carbo] Oh.

-[Retta] Yes! -Well, look at the time.

-I have to be going. -Oh, really? So soon okay.

Yeah.

[Retta] Yes!

[Ben] Emma's got to go.

She's not the only one.

So will I meet you there tonight?

Yeah, definitely. I'll see you there

and, uh, thanks for the strawberries.

Yeah, no worries. Bye.

-Bye, Nathan. -See you.

Oh!

Finally!

Uh, Ben, can I ask you a question?

And I'm not being a helicopter brother, I promise.

Um, where are you taking Emma tonight?

I was going to take her to check out the club.

Really? Have you changed your mind about investing?

Maybe.

Because of something Emma said?

No. Maybe.

Sorry. Sorry, I'm a little bit confused.

If you need to talk about something...

anything, Emma?

No, how many times, there's no Emma.

-Not in that way. -Really? Hmm.

'Cause I thought I just heard you guys organizing a date.

-It's not a date. -Sorry, two people meeting

-in a nightclub-- -It's not a date.

Can you not have sex when we have guests?

[dramatic music playing]

Can we get back to normal?

Can you stop annoying the crap out of me?

That wouldn't be normal.

Ben, come on I'll try and stop putting my foot in it.

We're fine.

[Nathan] But what's up?

What if Emma does think it's a date?

Would that be so...

Okay, we'll all come. We'll all hang in a group

and it'll take the pressure off.

And then maybe you can tell me what you really think.

About the club I mean.

I'll gather the troops.

Safety in numbers, they say.

That didn't mean we weren't wading

into some pretty dangerous waters.

[upbeat music playing]

A pretty good turnover here.

Yeah, it's very good.

[Courtney] There you go.

So, the same deal as last time.

If you need anything at all--

We'll catch your eye.

Is that her?

She's beautiful!

Are you going to ask her out?

No, no. It breaks the whole sex with a stranger thing.

You asked and she said no,

-right? -Yeah.

-[all laugh] -You were that good.

[Nathan] Or maybe I was too good.

-[Coby] Ah. -No forget it. Excuse me.

[Carbo] Hey, do you want to bust some moves?

-Yeah! -Yeah!

Let's go.

Hey, uh, this is my brother Nathan.

G'day.

Thanks so much for the freebies.

Well, if your brother jumps aboard

you get the VIP treatment anytime you want.

-Give the man your money. -[laughs]

Uh, how sure are you that this new club's

-going to work? -Well, the reality is

only one in seven clubs turns a decent profit these days.

Mmm-hmm. But you still do it?

Well, it's inexperience that gets the blame

for most of the turkeys

but that's not an issue here

and as far as owning clubs goes,

I'm a veteran.

Right. What about, um, studies,

you know, market research?

Yeah, I've got studies.

Can Ben have a look?

Yeah, they're in the office.

I'll go and get them.

Thanks.

You're right. He seems like a genuine guy.

Hey, uh, can you do me a favor?

-Sure. -[Ben] Just stick with Emma.

Make sure she's not on her own.

[Nathan] I thought we were all sticking together?

Yeah, yeah. I've just got business to do

but I'll join you guys when I get the chance.

Okay.

[upbeat music playing]

-[Julie] Hey! -You always get to choose.

-No, you always get your way. -Well, only the sport.

Oh, and any short remotely related to sport.

Well, oh.

Well, this...

[Dave] There goes Ruby.

Well, you know, aren't you going to go after her?

No.

I'm not some chopper mom. Ha!

If we over-protect her now,

we'll be protecting her forever.

She needs room to make mistakes

-and learn. -[thuds]

[Ruby cries]

Oh, yes, naughty Daddy leaving his shoes there

for you to trip over.

She's learned more from falling over

than not falling over.

You've got to accept

life is a risk.

Ah! That truck is always in the way.

Ah, darling, well,

you've learned more from tripping

than not tripping.

You're right, life is risk.

[upbeat music playing]

Oi! Score, score.

You see those two?

Yeah, well, give them a wave

because they want to kick it on with us after.

-Ah, I'll give it a miss. -Hey? No.

No, you realize we're never going to pull chicks like that

-without the rope. -Well, I don't want

-to pull chicks like that. -Hey, well, why?

You got an eye on somebody else?

No, I'm sure you'll manage without me.

Ah, okay, well, if anyone asks, I'm a neurosurgeon.

That's the brain, right?

I thought you wanted my opinion.

I do.

So why are you avoiding me?

I'm not. I'm just um, you know...

Well... Well, what do you think?

I love it. I mean, you know, what's not to like?

Will you do me a favor?

What?

Dance with me?

Oh, sorry I lost you.

Just in time.

-Emma wants a dance. -Me too.

I love this track. Come on.

[upbeat music playing]

I've got to take a slash.

[laughs]

Hey, handsome.

Fancy some random fun with a stranger?

You bet I would.

Well, the only thing is, I'm taken.

Well, that's just how I like it.

[Carbo] I can't believe they kicked us out.

We weren't hurting anyone.

Only their reputation.

Yeah, but we were VIPs.

Now I'm banned from the club.

Back to being a regular P.

Or we could set up a VIP area in our room?

Yeah, but it's not the same, babe.

We could cordon off the bed?

[giggles]

You know Emma was hurt tonight.

She tried not to show it but she was.

All the avoidance tactics in the world

aren't going to change how you feel about her.

[sighs]

I don't know how I feel.

Between you and Emma and the money,

it all just sits there in my account

like a big reminder of what I don't have.

Well, so may...

Maybe... I can't believe I'm going to say this,

but taking it out, investing,

it's a risk you need to take.

And if it all goes belly up?

Then you weren't meant to have it in the first place.

That's all of it.

Uh, not quite.

My five large. You count it.

I believe you.

So are we really doing this?

If you think it's the right thing.

Yeah, let's do it.

Right. So, uh,

Chris will be at the club from four

-so your shift finishes-- -Five.

So we'll meet here at 5:30 and then

off we head to make our fortune.

-I hope so. -Come on, have some faith.

You better get to work before Donna's horns come out.

Oh, and Ben, I don't know if I've said it

but I really appreciate this, mate.

You've given me a chance at a future.

-See you later. -Okay.

-Hi, Ben. -Hey.

What's up?

Nothing.

I'm just not sure that I deserve that greeting.

For the record,

I'm sorry about my weirdness last night.

Any specific weirdness?

Just general.

I'm in a strange place right now

but I will make an effort

to be less weird in the future.

A little weird's okay.

I don't want you being totally normal.

Well, you are now talking to Ben Rafter,

-future nightclub guru. -Oh.

Well, actually, part owner and silent.

-You, silent? -I know.

So? How do you feel?

Free.

[Nathan] Taking that risk can bring change for the better.

It can also be addictive.

The decision to fight it or not,

is completely in your hands.

I just wanted to check if you'd seen Tom today?

No, sorry, I haven't.

He hasn't dropped the money off?

No, I've been here since 4:00. I haven't seen him.

He might've got held up.

You've got to be kidding me.

He's on his way. I'm sure he is.

Yeah, I hope so, mate. I hope so.
