Welcome, one and all!

Bouncer. Bruiser.

You sure you ain't robbed a bank? ALL: To friendship.

They used to tell us everything.

This year, it's like we've got no idea what's going on in their lives.

What's down there? That's my office, pal.

Off limits for this week.

I told you not to ring me.

I don't know when I'll be able to pay you back.

I can transfer today.

That way, the wolf's away from the door.

I love him! And he loves me, too.

You've caused enough damage to this family! You can talk!

He's having an affair. This is so unfair on you.

Every time I see you, I want you.

I can't stay here a minute longer.

Why are you back here? It's the fires.

They're miles away. They turned me back.

Nobody can leave.

TV: 'The fires that began in North Gippsland are now spreading.

'Residents of Wilcox Falls are advised to evacuate immediately.

'As bushfire season intensifies,

'state emergency services are once more feeling the pressure

'and reaching out to volunteers from all walks of life,

'ages and backgrounds...' Brilliant. Yeah, thanks, mate.

Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, we do have the app.

We've got that. Yeah.

Brilliant. OK, yeah. Keep us posted.

Appreciate it. Thank you.

That was the police, we're in no immediate threat here.

See? I knew it was a wind-up.

See you, get your gear together, you know where the door is.

No, pal, he's telling the truth, the road is closed at the moment.

No-one's going in and out just for now.

Any time you wanna apologise.

It's OK. No, it's actually not.

Hang on, if there's no danger, why is the road blocked?

They just wanna keep the main highway clear.

There's never been a fire up here before.

That river acts as a natural firebreak.

It's one of the reasons we chose the place. You chose it.

Hey, we're safe here.

That's the main thing. We're all safe.

Plus they're predicting rain.

We're good. No-one needs to panic. We're fine.

All right, well, we'd better

organise a bed for you. He can stay in my room.

Yeah, course (!) I can keep crashing here,

if that's OK with you guys.

Is this yours?

Were you gonna do a runner on us, too?

I just thought it might be better if we spared you all from our dramas.

I told you, stop apologising.

There's not a lot that'll shock me.

Yeah. Er... I'll take your bag up.

Thanks.

Besides, there's nowhere to go anyway, apparently.

NEWS REPORT CONTINUES ON TV

You were just gonna leave without telling me?

OK, the lovelier she is, the worse I feel.

Hey, I don't wanna hurt Lou or Steve any more than you do.

OK, so we just put an end to it as of now.

Look, it's not like we slept together.

No, but we crossed a line and you know it.

Hm... We did.

And if things had gone differently that weekend...

Hey, they didn't. I know.

But if they had...

there'd be no turning back, we would have blown up our lives.

And everyone down there, they're the people who we destroy.

SHE SIGHS

OK...

We've indulged in this fantasy enough.

And it has to stop.

TV: 'Once again, as bush fires flare in Country Victoria,

'state emergency services throughout Australia

'are reminding residents in fire-prone regions to be prepared.'

I'm glad they didn't let you through.

Is that wrong of me?

No.

It's like the universe is on our side.

Can we have a bit of social distancing, please?

Dad! No-one wants to watch you two tongue the life out of each other.

Oh, so we should just creep around in secret like you do?

You don't know what you're talking about.

Don't I?

How can you be so judgemental? Mia!

No, you've got no idea of the concept of self-awareness.

One holiday! One holiday a year!

To spend time with my family and my friends,

and he comes barging in here. I'm sorry, I can't do this any more.

You've been screwing around behind Mum's back for months!

We've seen the messages on your phone

and we know about your dodgy cricket weekend.

Found it.

It's not what you think it is, I'll tell you that now.

Yeah, I... Sarah!

There has only ever been you.

Yes, I didn't go on the cricket trip.

But I had a lot of stuff on my mind, and that weekend,

I tried to sort it out. I didn't want you to know.

What I'm saying is...

..it's not because I'm seeing someone else, I swear to you.

I believe you.

What? SHE SIGHS

Look...

things haven't been good, I know that.

Some days, it feels like we're almost strangers.

I'm not gonna let you take any of the blame for this, I'm sorry.

No, I'm just saying that I'm not perfect either.

OK.

So...

This is the part where we lay all our cards on the table, yeah?

SHE SIGHS HEAVILY But what good's that gonna do?

You know, we can't change anything that's happened.

So...

..let's just move on from here.

Yeah?

I know you'd never cheat.

So you've got no more questions for me.

No.

I don't deserve you.

The kids... Um...

They're gonna wanna know what's going on.

Yeah, and we'll talk to them.

But if we're really gonna move on, you can't keep attacking Jet.

I don't wanna think it, but it might be true.

Are we really gonna gossip about this?

It's just all those comments that Mia's been making.

Lou, give it a rest. Come on.

I tried to talk to Sarah about it, she just shut me down.

God, after all those years of marriage.

What a kick in the teeth.

Listen, Mia's had her own opinions about what she will and won't do

since she's been five years old.

We're not talking about her eating vegetables, are we?

Exactly, she's almost an adult.

This is not something we can dictate to her.

So we just let her destroy her life, yeah? No.

I'm just saying if she makes a mistake,

we're here to catch her.

There's no "if" with this boy, I'm telling you now.

You can't just tell someone to turn off their feelings,

no matter how irrational or dangerous they are.

Are you saying that to make me feel better?

No, I'm...

I'm just saying it's not always logical who you fall in love with.

And if it was, then you wouldn't have given me a second look,

is that what you're saying?

No.

Steve.

If anyone had said that to me, I wouldn't have listened.

The same way Mia's not gonna listen to us.

OK, we just have to be realistic.

PHONE BUZZING

I told you the money's coming. OK?

So...

It says the fire's here in Wilcox Falls.

You've got this little one down here.

This is us here.

If they evacuate Lawsonville, maybe then we should start to worry.

You think your dad's boning someone else?

Your sister brought it up, not me.

Course you have to start shit-stirring.

Same way you couldn't wait to dob in Mia and Jet.

The guy was trespassing on our property.

What else was I supposed to do?

Tom, um...

I've had a chat with your mum, and, er...

it's all good.

OK, then. Dude, just shut up.

Unless you want me to start telling your secrets.

Hey.

I told her I weren't having an affair and she believed me.

That's it?

It was weird. I was gonna tell her everything, she didn't wanna know.

In that case, Lady Luck's on your side, big man.

It's not luck, is it? Let's have it right, I'm a liar.

Which is exactly what Mia's accusing me of.

Only not for the reason she thinks.

Hey, you love your family.

You're doing everything you can to protect them, that's it.

Thanks for the loan, mate. Don't mention it.

I don't wanna drive you mad,

but any chance it'll be in my account today...

MIA LAUGHING Are you gonna push me?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's getting processed.

INDISTINCT CONVERSATION

Sarah says I've got to learn to accept 'em.

Didn't a wise man once tell you the same thing?

THEY CHUCKLE Yeah.

Anyone would think you two are in cahoots.

Hey? Mm.

'Of course he wouldn't cheat on you.'

Thinks the sun shines out of your arse.

Yeah! Which we all know it actually does.

It's roasting out there already.

What were you doing out there?

Raking the leaves.

I thought you said you weren't worried about the fires.

I'm not, just need it done.

OK, I'm not stressing.

Drink, my man. Yeah, mate.

Don't worry, the boys are on the case.

Tom's got a whole map laid out, so we're good.

You know he's gonna save the world one day?

Yeah.

Do you remember when he wrote to the Prime Minister?

Ah, yes, I do,

and someone didn't think he'd get a response, so he forged one!

I had a lot of explaining to do when the real PM letter showed up.

Yeah. We just didn't want him to be disappointed.

Brad, what's this? Are we being scammed?

The bank says someone's trying to transfer

half a million dollars from our account.

Let's call the bank and get to the bottom of it...

No, no, no. I'll call the bank. Surely...

I can't imagine having that much money lying around in the bank.

They'll know what to do...

Obviously, scammers know who to target.

Don't you get texted a code when you make a transfer?

Let's leave it with the bank and... Why are you being so relaxed...?

Look, we'll fix it! Brad.

Brad, you don't have to defend yourself any more.

Lou, the money was for me, it was gonna be a loan.

I'm sorry, what?!

Are you kid...? OK, what is going on here?

There's something I need to tell ya.

There was something in the water Made me go wild

Made me go wild...

Mia.

Made me go wild

There was nothing in the world Making me smile

Like your smile

Like your smile... Wait.

Just wait. Just give me...

Standing on the edge

With the sand under our feet

We felt like we made it

Now that winter's come and gone

I'm 17 again

My heart is beating stronger

Every time I think of you

It's taking me back there Taking me back there

And it feels like summer

And it feels like summer...

I wanted to tell you everything,

it's just that you said that you didn't need to know.

Brad's offer was so generous.

I'm so sorry, I didn't want to cause any trouble, you know that.

You haven't mate, you absolutely haven't. Promise.

Sarah... I had NO idea we were in that much debt.

Well, why would you?

I did everything to keep it from you.

Really? Loan sharks?

My God, how do you even find people like that?

I need some time to get my head around this. I know.

Sarah... Steve! Leave it, mate.

She'll be fine. She'll simmer down, it'll be all good.

Can I have a word in private?

Lou, you wanna have a go at someone, have a go at me.

No, I actually just need to speak to my husband.

He didn't want to tell Sarah, that's why I didn't tell you.

So being loyal to your mate's the most important thing?

Do you want them to lose their house?

He's terrible with his finances. You've always said that.

Are we ever gonna see that money again?

Sorry for trying to help out our best pals!

Fuck's sake!

Mate, I'm sorry. I didn't know the bank was gonna send that.

They've literally never done that before.

You've never had to bail your mate out for half a million.

Why does everything I touch turn to shit?!

Dad?

Is this about the fires?

SHE BREATHES HEAVILY

Whatever you're gonna say, I don't wanna hear it.

All sounds pretty hectic.

I didn't mean to upset you before.

For the record, I didn't think your dad was cheating either.

Could I try and explain some of this to you, please, Tom?

So, it all started a few months ago.

I became really frustrated at work.

I hated the hours that your mum was doing.

It was eating away at me every day.

So, I've always been interested in the stock market,

and I heard about some... Are you and Mum gonna split up?

Honestly, Tom...

..I don't know.

WATER SPLASHING

Hey, I was looking for you. Are you all right?

No!

I mean, why didn't you tell me Steve got us into so much debt?

I swear I didn't know, honestly, till you guys got here. Really.

Really? So you've just both been going behind my back?

No, it wasn't like that. It wasn't like that at all.

He begged me not to say a thing.

I thought I had to honour that, you know.

Yeah. He put me in a really tough position, you must see that.

I'm really sorry.

You had no idea?

No. I mean...

I don't know, I just...

I knew he was struggling, but I just thought it was a mid-life crisis.

I just feel like I just turned a blind eye

to whatever he was doing

because it was the only way I could deal with my own guilt.

Am I even allowed to be angry at him? I don't know.

Hey, are you serious? Hey.

You're allowed to be fucking furious.

What he's done to you and your family is beyond stupid.

Really, so having an affair versus losing your life's savings,

what's worse? But we didn't...

Come on, we booked a hotel room. Sure, but we would have used it

if all hell hadn't broken loose back at our house.

Look, we might not have slept together, but we have still been

sneaking around for months,

calling each other, finding ways to be together.

Torturing ourselves the whole time.

Meanwhile...

Steve has been squandering our money on one bad investment after another

to leave us half a million dollars in the red!

That's so much money!

You know what, I hope he feels

as guilty about what he's done as I have.

He deserves to.

How many overtime shifts did I have to do just to pay the mortgage?

How much time did I miss out on with the kids?

Hey, come here.

It's just a mess!

SHE WEEPS Everything's such a fucking mess.

THEY LAUGH

BIRDS SQUAWKING

SHE SIGHS I'm gonna have an early night.

They're saying Diggers Valley might be evacuated.

That's just a precaution.

That's an hour and a half from here.

It's gonna rain before that.

SHE SIGHS

We're safe here.

I didn't build this place for it to burn to the ground, OK?

I'm sure nobody builds a house planning for it to burn down.

It's not a high-risk area.

Where's our fire plan?

Didn't you pay someone to write it up?

Didn't they run through it with you? Yeah, it's in the office.

Can I read it?

Look, there's nothing we can do tonight.

Look, I got a pal at SES, Chris.

Let me call him in the morning and I'll get his advice, OK?

Come here.

Shake out the truth That's locked inside

Where are the secrets That you hide?

Oh-oh-oh-oh

All of the wrongs Won't make it right

Justify the darkest nights

Where are the secrets That you hide?

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh...

Hey, I'm happy to take the other one.

Where are the secrets That you hide?

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Swear to your memory, oh-oh

How many lines will you cross?

What are the secrets That you know?

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Where are the places That you'll go?

Who are you when you're alone?

Where are the places that you go?

Oh-oh-oh-oh

And all the lies inside the dark

The kind of lie to break a heart

Break a love

Tear a love apart

Where are the secrets That you hide?

Shake out the truth That's left inside

Where are the secrets That you hide?

Oh-oh-oh-oh...

BIRDS SCREECHING

Morning.

I didn't poison it, if that's what you're thinking.

I drink tea, not coffee.

So rain didn't come.

Hey, I know what it's like to get caught up in a bad situation.

What, are we having a little chat now, are we?

Steve, I wasn't involved in any robberies.

But I couldn't clear my name without snitching on somebody else.

And that's the company you keep, is it?

I don't hang out with those guys any more.

And I'm working really hard to turn my life around.

That's not even the point.

The point is, it was a stupid mistake.

Probably one of many.

Apparently, you know what that's like.

I really hope you can work... work this out.

You know? And if there's anything I can do to help,

I don't know what it is, but the offer's there.

Hopefully the road's open now.

And if it is...

..you can be on your way.

KNOCKING

DOOR OPENING

Thank you.

SHE SIGHS HEAVILY

I barely slept at all.

Thinking about us, Lou, Steve.

What happens next?

I just... I don't think I can forgive him.

Not for this.

I'm also not going to be the one to break up your marriage.

I wouldn't worry about that.

We're doing a pretty good job of that ourselves.

And Lou's just as much to blame as I am.

OK, sure, so you bicker with each other...

No, no. It's more than that, I told you.

Is it? Yeah.

Because, Brad, I know what you said,

and I know what you've been telling me for months, but...

I know, it's all true, we haven't been happy.

And it's been years, Sarah. Years.

Seeing you together...

What do you see?

Two people who might have a niggle with each other, but...

at the end of the day,

you make it work.

Funny.

Not long ago, I would have said exactly the same

about you and Steve.

Yeah.

RADIO: 'The rain everyone was hoping for overnight didn't arrive,

'and conditions will remain difficult...'

Yeah, mate, absolutely. Yeah, cheers for that.

Will do. Appreciate it.

That was my man, Chris, from the SES.

Is the road open yet or what? It's not, mate, no.

He said there's no immediate danger, though.

So we're stuck here with Romeo!

Oh, my God, is that really the biggest problem we're facing?

Yeah?

Well, me and Brad, we've come up with a bit of a solution.

He's gonna give me a smaller loan, not the half a million,

just enough to get us out of trouble.

Another deal I don't know about.

You were in a foul mood all morning. When was I gonna talk to you?

Lou, I'm gonna pay you back, with interest, as soon as I can.

I promise ya.

OK, but we'll lose the house?

Is that the bottom line?

Let's just hope we get a good price for it.

I'm sorry.

Oh... Since when do you still smoke?

I don't, I gave up years ago. Can you tell?

For God's sake, don't tell Brad.

No, our little secret.

A few of those going round at the moment.

I'm just so sorry.

I'm sorry, too. I don't want you to lose your house.

I wish I could say I'm fine with it...

Listen. This is not on you.

OK? I've just seen

how money comes between people, and I don't want that for us.

Ciggie? No, thank you.

I'm pretending it's not a total fire ban.

Just like Brad.

We're stuck here in the middle of nowhere,

and there's nothing to worry about, apparently.

The flames will be at the door and he'll still be saying that

cos he doesn't want to admit that he's wrong.

Same as always.

Are you guys OK?

Oh, we have our moments.

Lots of them, but... we're OK.

Well, we won't be if Brad finds me smoking.

Mia, can we talk?

What more is there to say?

I'm gonna make it up to all of youse.

If you really mean that, apologise to Jet.

I can't do that.

Because you don't want to see me happy. No.

I can't do that because I know exactly who your boyfriend is,

and I know that because he's a part of me.

And I see myself in him.

And it scares me.

I want more for you than I've ever been able to give your mum.

What do you mean?

You remember last year...

..when Brad was talking about building this house?

It sounds so stupid...

..and I feel so weak for even saying this,

but it set off some sort of panic in me.

And I felt like I was running out of time.

Nearly 45...

Pushing 50, really.

And there we were, still on struggle street.

Were we?

That's what it felt like.

And I know it's my own insecurities, but it...

..made me make some bad decisions.

What I'm trying to say to you is this...

..you can do better.

Jet's never lied to me.

Ever.

Hey, Mia, I've got to tell you something.

Um, the other day when I got to the crossroad,

the cop actually said that I could go.

I didn't because I thought it would be a good excuse to come back.

I just couldn't leave you again.

But the road to Sydney's still blocked.

Now it is, but there was like a 20-minute window to pass.

So you came back to me even though you had the chance to get away?

Yeah.

That is the sweetest thing! Wait.

Mia, I heard what you said to your dad.

I lied to you.

No, that's not the same thing, not even close.

You're not hurting anyone.

It's like if you tell someone you like their haircut.

OK, maybe it's trash, but you're not gonna say that, are you?

OK, so, like, little lies are OK, then?

If they bring you back to me,

of course they are.

Keep my head down

Keep my eyes closed

Try my best to stay out of trouble

Where do you come from?

I'm dying to know

I know you're taken, not mistaken

But I just can't let you go

I just can't let you go

I just can't let you go

I just can't let you go

We lie in separate beds

Guilty pleasures in our heads

When you dream I'll meet you there

You took me by surprise

Hidden treasures in your eyes

Swimming deep in neon lights

She'll be coming around any minute

She'll be coming around Any minute...

What?

I thought I saw a spider. I'm sorry!

You're such a city boy!

Really? Well, you love it. SHE LAUGHS

You do.

BIRDS SINGING

TV: 'A number of properties east of Lawsonville

'have been evacuated, and multiple homes have already been lost

'as firefighters continue to battle the devastating...'

Give it a rest, Lou, hey?

Go and get the bushfire plan.

It's just a bit of paper with a list of jobs on it.

Well, everyone here needs to see it.

Why?

Because this affects everyone.

Is the house completely safe?

I don't even know where it is, OK?

There is no plan, is there?

You went to the CFA to get this organised.

Isn't that one of the reasons you missed out on our trip

to Melbourne?

Did you speak to them at all?

The house is completely safe. OK? I've told you a million times.

The river is a natural firebreak.

Fires can jump rivers! Even I know that much.

Do you see how much clearing it is around this house?

That's not an accident.

It's by design. My design!

Look, ask Tom, he's got all the apps open.

Tell her, is that right?

If the rain comes tomorrow,

and the wind direction doesn't change,

I think we should be OK. There you go!

Look how overcast it is.

JET LAUGHING

Hey, Jet, come and give us a hand with lunch, would you, mate?

Yes, for sure. Cheers, pal.

And where have you been?

Just chilling.

Plates are in here. Plates.

So, um, I'm gonna get myself another job.

You know, like a security guard or, I don't know, a delivery driver.

Whatever it takes.

I've realised that if I put in another 20 to 25...

BRAD: 'Every time I see you, I want you.'

STEVE: 'There's something I need to tell you.

SARAH: 'But we'll lose the house.

'How many overtime shifts did I have to do?

'Everything's such a fucking mess!' LOU: 'We have our moments.'

'You can't tell someone to turn off their feelings,

'no matter how dangerous they are.'

Dude, you wanna be careful with these,

they're all in the right spot.

Oh, that's my attempt at art.

I like it. Yeah?

Yeah, it's Scottish? I saw the sign outside.

Yeah, it's Scottish, Gaelic.

That's actually the first thing I did when I bought the property,

I nailed that to the tree out there.

And then you built the rest of the house?

Mm. Yeah.

Still missing something, though, isn't it?

I want it to have that wow factor.

I think we all said wow when we first saw it.

Oh, look, don't get me wrong, I do love the inside,

God knows I spent enough time on it, but, erm...

I don't know, there's something missing out the front.

Can I get you anything?

Um... no, I'm all good.

OK. Thanks.

Yeah, it's the reason I haven't built the pool yet.

I just want it to be amazing, you know?

Mm. I haven't found the inspiration.

I was thinking, um... I don't know, maybe like a statue,

and then... that kind of has symmetry with the pool

and it all kind of blends into one.

I don't know.

Could use another creative mind on it.

Mine? Yeah.

Are you serious? Hell yeah.

I remember your drawings from last year, they're brilliant.

See, that could be a job for a real artist.

That would be amazing.

Got the job!

You're hired!

ANIMALS SCREECHING

Hey, maybe we'll go on another picnic tomorrow?

We've barely showed off half the property.

Just stop!

What?

We're in the path of an oncoming bushfire,

and you're acting like cruise director

on-board the Titanic.

Couldn't you have built a vanity project closer to Melbourne?

Sorry my desire for a simpler life

is causing you such an inconvenience.

SHE SCOFFS

Simple?

My God, we're not living in a tent.

I just think there's a lot we didn't consider with this move.

And it would be nice if you could at least admit that.

Yeah, well, maybe it's time we all start to look at our choices.

Does it still hurt? Only if I bash it.

Hopefully I'll be getting it off next week, so...

OK, good.

How did you not see him, that night in Sydney?

I mean, when you opened the door. Or however you knocked him over.

I keep asking myself the same question, man.

I mean, I would have seen him.

Or at least heard him. It's not important.

No, it's kind of weird, isn't it? Dude, just leave it.

No, no, it's OK. Tom, um...

I keep wishing there was another explanation, but...

it's on me.

And I'll always be sorry, Tom.

Night, guys.

Steve, I'm happy to swap if you want.

It's way more comfortable in the living room.

I told you...

I don't need any favours.

Good night.

Hi.

What are you doing? I want you so bad.

We can't do this, not here.

Yes, we can, we can do it. No, listen. Listen.

Louise has a right to be angry, yeah?

You were in Sydney with me

when you were meant to be doing the bushfire plan.

It doesn't matter now, OK?

I don't know.

All these lies. All we're doing is hurting each other.

We are hurting each other

cos we're not being honest about our feelings.

And what we want.

Don't we deserve to be happy, too?

KIP SIGHS

Is your nerd brain still thinking

about which direction the wind's coming from?

My nerd brain is freaking out about what's gonna happen to my family.

We're gonna lose our house, dude.

You can always crash here.

If we still have ours. Mum seems to think we're toast.

I mean it, you're our friends.

Sure you don't want me around

so you can blame me for your porn addiction?

For the last time, man, I wasn't looking up Sugarbabez.

How could I be a sugar daddy?

Yeah, but the site magically turns up on the computer

when you're staying at our house.

Do you think I'd be dumb enough

to look at that stuff at someone else's house?

Where do you go in the middle of the night?

I thought you knew my secrets.

All right, I'll show you, but...

..keep it to yourself, all right? You can't tell anyone.

Get away from there. What are you doing?

Why are you so antsy? What's on this computer?

You heard the news report? We're in real danger.

How shady are these people?

They made a couple of threats. Physical threats?

Do you think your parents are happy?

I hate it here.

I'm gonna lose the love of my life.

I'm gonna lose my home and it's all my fault.

Trust me, I'll be checking in on you.

I should bring Jet here.

You're really serious about that guy, huh?
