05x05 - Scream the Impossible Scream

Post by bunniefuu »

You know, this wasn't exactly the workout I had in mind.

I did say 'morning exercise'.

Well, I thought that was a metaphor for something more apt to the honeymoon phase as opposed to, you know, a married couple.

Why waste time?

- 'Cause it's fun.

- [LAUGHS]

Yeah, you should probably know I have a solid five-year plan.

Where do I fit in this plan?

We're getting hitched in six months, right?

Yeah.

I mean, a little awkward, seeing you are taking my mum to court tomorrow.

That has nothing to do with us.

Come on.

Keep up.

[STRAINS]

Oh, there you are.

Finally.

Team, it's gonna be a mega day today if we're to meet Sharna's KPIs.

Today's goal is patients through the door.

We need numbers.

Be thorough but efficient and Sharna won't have a reason to not fund us into the future or shut us down.

[LAUGHS]

I'd like to keep my job.

I only just got it back.

Ha.

Yes, um, sounds good, Ken.

I'm on board.

Leave it with you.

Am I the only one taking this seriously?

I've got three kinesiology patients today.

That's nowhere near enough.

MAN: What can I do for you today?

- WOMAN: Hello.

- Oh, God.

No.

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

What's wrong?

That's my parents.

What are they doing here?

I'd say they've come to see you.

No...

This is bad.

Very bad.

They think I'm a doctor.

It is our special release for Father's Day, an esky full of Arcadia beer on ice, plus cheese and goodies from local farmers.

So, it's all about recovery.

It's a win for the local economy and a way for our farmers to get their produce out there.

We bring the fun to you, with a special delivery to your door.

See, what we're doing, the taste of Whyhope is about putting the hope back into Whyhope farmers.

- Hmm.

Your wife is super smart.

- [LAUGHS]

- Ex-wife.

- Oh, really?

- Yeah.

- Girlfriend.

- Mmm.

- OK.

We were married.

Now we're just... together.

Yeah.

It's complicated but it's how we roll.

So, do you want to put in an order for your dad?

Uh, we're not really close.

Well, what better way to reconnect than an Arcadia beer pack?

Just tell me where he is and I'll get it to him by tomorrow.

It's beyond repair, trust me.

But I'll grab one.

OK.

Cool.

Help you chill before the big court case tomorrow.

Matt...

- I can't talk about that.

- Of course.

- Of course.

- [EXHALES]

[VEHICLE APPROACHES]

I wasn't expecting you until tomorrow.

Come on in.

We have a lot of work to do.

What's all this?

It's, uh...

It's Father's Day.

Oh, right.

I just don't want the boys to forget the legacy of their father and I'm acutely aware this could be my Last Supper.

Oh, I'm not gonna let that happen.

Tomorrow, you are gonna walk out of that courtroom a free woman.

I have a plan.

We discredit Sharna as a witness.

We prove she's a person of unreliable character.

Oh, she's perfect.

Irritatingly so.

Yeah?

Take a look at this.

She was an accessory to a crime.

[GASPS]

Oh, it's a hit-and-run.

She's not as perfect as she seems.

_ HAYLEY: There we go.

This is Ra, the Egyptian god of the sun.

Look who it is.

Say 'Happy Father's Day'.

Happy Father's Day.

Sorry we haven't got you anything yet.

I've just been so busy.

- I even forgot something for Dad.

- [THUD]

- Now I'm already in trouble with Mum.

- Hey, it doesn't matter.

Forget about it.

Why don't we do something special?

Splash out, go somewhere nice.

- [SLAMS DRAWER DOOR]

- 'Cause we can't afford it.

We don't have any money.

[SCOFFS]

Yes, we can.

I've worked overtime every day this week.

I'm even going in today, even though Sharna has Sundays off.

Hayles, I still have shitloads of stuff to buy for the house.

Alright, then.

We won't go.

[DOOR SLAMS]

And would you stop with the slamming!

Dad's had to come back to Australia for work and they wanted to surprise me.

Isn't that nice?

So nice.

He works so hard, our boy.

Always too busy to visit us.

Oh.

So, Kenneth, tell us about some of your most challenging cases.

He never tells us anything.

Excuse me.

Hi.

Hello.

[LAUGHS]

- Hello.

- Who is this?

Hugh, these are my parents.

This is Hugh Knight, one of my fellow... doctors.

I mentor him.

WOMAN: Oooh-ah.

You mentor someone who is so much older than you?

But still so handsome.

- [LAUGHS AWKWARDLY]

- Yes, I do.

- Isn't that right?

- Oh...

Oh, my word.

Doctor, did you happen to tell your parents about the young woman who recently presented with acute pulmonary oedema with a background of undiagnosed dextrocardia with situs inversus?

No, he did not.

No?

Tell us, Kenneth.

MAN: Can someone give me a hand, please?

Oh...

Can we get that wheelchair, please?

Now.

Get Penny for me.

Easy does it.

Here we go.

Nice and easy.

Easy does it.

There we go.

There we go.

Through this way.

Aren't you going to do something?

Hands-on experience is the best way for Hugh to learn.

Oh, as I always say.

So generous, my son.

PENNY: Graeme, hi.

What's the situation?

Well, Graeme found Brody in bed this morning a bit banged up, hard to rouse.

Empty vodka bottle and vomit nearby.

Airways clear and protected.

It's good air entry bilaterally.

No obvious signs of pneumothorax or aspiration.

Oh...

OK, we've got some bruising here to the ribs.

Get an X-ray, check for fracture.

Um, also noticed some swelling and bruising of the knee, so get a knee X-ray as well.

Done a bit of a number on yourself, Brody.

What happened?

I tripped over.

- You had a bit to drink?

- Just a couple.

Couple of dozen.

He's been drinking himself stupid every night.

Any dr*gs?

No.

Will he be alright, Doc?

Yes...

If not a little hung-over.

We'll run some X-rays and keep him in observation for the head injury.

Thank you.

I gotta get back to the farm.

He shouldn't have to stay in overnight.

I'll let you know when he's ready to be discharged.

Maybe you could knock some bloody sense into him.

[EXHALES]

- Hey...

- We smashed that.

You did.

Mmm...

Mmm...

What about that whole ex-wife/girlfriend thing?

- Oh...

- That was a little bit awkward.

You know I don't care about labels.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Labels suck.

Don't you ever want, like, I don't know, a little bit more clarity?

- No.

- No?

- Not even a little bit.

- Oh...

Do you want to go into the storeroom and celebrate?

Where's all this coming from?

Mmm...

We're alive.

We're kicking goals.

Get a room.

Matt, can I talk to you about the tractor?

[LAUGHS]

Do you reckon we really need it?

I was thinking we could trade it in, maybe get a cheaper one.

What?

No.

Why?

'Cause, you know, it's tough keeping everything going.

Cashflow and that.

Are you having money troubles?

Uh...

Just...

Forget about it.

Wait, wait...

No, Ajax, um, I could use some help with the eskies.

I've got a lot of deliveries to do today.

- How much will you pay?

- Not much.

Hey, Angelo, thanks for getting back to me on a Sunday, man.

- Yeah...

- Busy man.

- Something I want to run by you...

- Happy Father's Day.

Well, you can say it to me too 'cause this is my baby right here.

How did the marriage proposal go?

Uh, it didn't go.

Why not?

It's not the right time.

Well, the fine lines around your eyes would suggest otherwise.

Yeah, well, Charlie's got a lot going on right now and she's loving it and I don't want to make it all about me.

Just don't always be the outside penguin.

What's she going on about?

What's an outside penguin?

The outside penguins always standing on the outside of the colony, bearing the cold and protecting the inner circle.

It's summer.

Your relationship's based on a lot of compromise, most of it coming from you.

And I'm fine with that.

OK.

The good news is there's no fracture.

- But you might have torn your ACL.

- [SNORTS]

You'll need a knee brace and crutches and we'll send you to Stanwell for an MRI, OK?

OK.

Sorry.

This means no football for a while.

You've been playing league as long as I remember.

Are you sure you're OK about this?

I haven't played in months.

I thought when I'd left you'd been scouted to go to Sydney.

I smashed my shoulder during the trial.

They had to let me go.

Just one thing after the other.

Right?

Sorry.

Are we done?

No.

We need to talk about managing this fractured rib of yours.

[SCOFFS]

- It kills to breathe.

- I know.

But I want you to start taking some deep breaths, at least five every hour, or you run the risk of getting pneumonia, OK?

So, take a deep breath in, inhale...

[EXHALES]

I can't.

[EXHALES]

Brody, we need you to get better.

Why?

What's the point?

I know things are tough but you'll find your way through.

Yay.

Brody...

you've done a lot of damage for someone who tripped over.

[SCOFFS]

How did you say this happened?

Will you tell Dad?

It's just between us.

I was drinking on the...

on the barn roof.

Next thing I remember, I'm on the ground.

That's a serious accident.

Why wouldn't you tell your dad?

Why would he care?

Everything's turned to sh*t.

It's all over for me.

Oooh, what have you got?

Tip-off from a friend.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Sharna was, in fact, a juvenile at the time of the hit-and-run, so it's a sealed record.

So it's useless to us?

Uh...

Maybe not.

There's speculation that her brother was, in fact, the driver and, uh, she took the rap for him because he was drugged up.

That's generous of her.

Legally, this isn't really pertinent to your case but if we can show that Sharna has a history of perjuring herself, then it'll discredit her testimony.

Which means they can dismiss the case?

There's a good chance.

Best thing would be to get hold of the brother and see if we can get him to make a statement.

- Mmm.

Where's he?

- Nobody knows.

He seems to have gone off the grid.

Sharna would know.

Like she's gonna tell us any time soon.

Come on.

Let's go.

- I can't take her now.

- Why not?

Because I have a lunch.

With Sharna.

Well, if Sharna wants to spend more time with you, she's got to get used to the fact that you come with attachments.

Yes, I know.

I will.

Just... not so soon.

Besides, it's Father's Day.

It's what Eliza wants.

I don't think she's noticed or really cares.

Oh, she cares.

Besides, I've got a lot on my plate at the moment trying to keep myself out of jail.

Thanks for asking me how it's going.

Father's Day dinner.

: , sharp.

OK.

[SIGHS]

Mwah!

Used socks.

[MOBILE PHONE RINGS]

Oi!

What do you think you're doing?

Just...

Just a bit of a juggle.

It looks like stealing to me.

Stealing?

What, used socks?

Don't push me, girlie, or I'll call the cops.

Oh...

Christ's sake!

[RUMBLING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

What have I done?

I've been so distracted lately...

because of my new job.

Oh, and I'm already running late.

But I think that I've broken nearly half the Ten Commandments.

I...

I forgot Father's Day, forsaking my parents.

I...

I made a false idol out of Ra, who's Egyptian.

I mean, sure, it was for Jimmy's kindy but still...

And then I stole, kind of.

I'm about to work on the Sabbath and...

[SIGHS]

I said your name in vain.

Forgive me, Lord.

Please...

Please, just give me a sign that I'm not a bad person.

[ROUSING CHORAL MUSIC]

Oh, god.

HUGH: Be cool.

I mean it, OK?

Up we go.

Right, so, if you do need to cry or poo or throw up, do so now or forever hold your peace.

There you are.

Uh, hello.

Hi.

Sorry.

Babysitter fell through.

And seeing it is Father's Day, I kind of felt bad leaving her at a bus stop.

- Hmm.

- Anyway, this is Eliza.

Don't worry, she's not as evil as she looks.

OK.

Cool.

Well, come on in.

Great.

[STRAINS]

- Let me through...

- Yep.

Great.

Another cuddle.

- Oh, they both get a cuddle.

- Thanks.

Do you want me to take her?

We're having way too much fun, because you are fricken adorable.

- [LAUGHS]

- Wow.

Five-year plan, political aspirations and good with kids.

Triple thr*at.

Ambitious women have ovaries too.

I want it all.

I just wasn't sure I'd ever be able to get it.

Not in previous relationships?

I have this uncanny ability to pick douchebags.

Right.

No offence taken.

Also, the idea of popping out the baby terrifies me.

This... this is kind of perfect, though.

What are we doing here?

You said you wanted to find Sharna's brother.

Yes?

- And Hayley's working here today.

- [KNOCKS]

She'll have access to Sharna's contacts.

Where is she?

I cannot go to jail.

Says the woman picking a lock.

I can't witness this.

What are you doing?

No.

The answer is no.

You don't know what the question is.

Sharna is my employer now, Meryl.

I get holiday benefits, sick leave, she doesn't make me pick up her dry-cleaning...

Hayley, behave.

I need Sharna's contacts.

We need to find her brother.

She's not going to let you contact her brother.

He's in jail.

In jail?

Really?

Possibly.

There was some correspondence.

Oh, no, I've said too much.

No, not at all.

Meryl, I love you and I will be in your corner tomorrow but I can't do any more bad things today.

I expected better from you.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Here's a prescription for Brody's pain medication and a referral for his MRI.

And I'll get in touch as soon as I manage to track down a TriFlo.

Thank you.

Does he do this a lot, write himself off with alcohol?

About as much as any other stupid kid.

He's had a tumultuous year, by the sounds of things.

Haven't we all?

Hey, if you need anything, either of you, don't hesitate to get in touch.

- OK?

- Yep.

And we say...?

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Come on.

How did the patient go, Dr. Cartwright?

Brody's a sweetheart.

I was asking Dr. Cartwright for her medical prognosis, actually.

Were you able to cope without my son's guidance?

I managed.

What are you doing?

I'm trying to find a TriFlo.

Our perfectly alphabetised database says we have a whole box.

No, they're not there.

Whoever organised this should be fired.

This clinic is the most organised facility in the state.

Mmm...

Come with me.

Yes, Doctor.

See?

A whole box.

I'm gonna take one to Brody.

I don't think he's giving us the full story.

No, no, you can't leave me alone with them.

What if they have more questions?

Tell them to go and get a coffee.

I can't.

It's disrespectful.

Ken, we've always known they were going to find out the truth one day.

You've got to tell them.

I can help if they have any questions.

- You're not a doctor.

- Neither are you.

Shh.

How did you manage to con them all these years?

Didn't they want to see you graduate?

Dad was always away on business, Mum was too sick to come.

I just never got around to telling them I'd...

Taken a different path.

[DOOR OPENS]

[HALF-LAUGHS]

- Hello, you.

- Hello, you.

I found something for the house.

You want to come and have a look?

Uh...

The house is more of an Ajax thing.

Ah, come on.

I think you're gonna like it.

I can give you a ride back home afterwards.

What?

No, I'm not getting on this thing without a helmet.

A head injury is the last thing I need.

Oh, look at that.

I, um, brought one.

- Of course you brought a helmet.

- Of course I did.

- Fine...

- OK.

- [LAUGHS]

- It fits.

[LAUGHS]

I've never done this before.

Oh, that's funny.

- Neither have I.

- Uh...

Oh!

- [LAUGHS]

- Wow.

That was... amazing.

Not bad, huh?

You watch.

You'll have an addiction now.

[LAUGHS]

What do you reckon?

- Oh...

- I think it's nice.

You know, classy, old-school.

Wow.

Oh, it's lovely.

Ajax will love it.

Oh, he will if you do.

There used to be one like this at my friend's house up the road when I was a little girl.

I couldn't keep my eyes off it.

Dammit.

Are you alright?

I'm covered in a neighbour's chattels.

[LAUGHS]

You're such a weirdo.

Complete wreck.

Hey, isn't there, uh, a commandment, you know, about coveting your neighbour's ass 'cause, um, technically, I'm your neighbour, uh, and that's my ass.

Stop.

Put it away.

- Are you sure?

- [LAUGHS]

Yeah.

- Alright.

Alright.

- [LAUGHS]

No, but seriously, you, um...

You don't seem too rapt about the house build.

Of course I am.

It's great.

Well, it's OK if it's not.

No, it's not.

Ajax has been working really hard at it.

And... you too, of course.

Oh, he has but it feels like it's something he's trying to do for you.

'Cause he thinks it'll fix our marriage.

Is it broken?

[KNOCKING]

- Brody?

- GRAEME: Doc?

I believe Brody's accident was a cry for help.

Did he tell you that, did he?

He seems lonely, like he's lost his purpose.

Trust me, I know what that feels like.

You lost your one sh*t to set yourself up for life and get yourself out of this sh*thole?

Yes.

Having to adjust to the way things have stacked up against you is tough.

I get that.

I can see you're struggling too.

[LAUGHS]

I'm fine.

It's OK not to be.

I got things to do.

I'd like Brody to talk to someone about it.

What?

Like a quack?

There's no shame in seeking help.

He's not crazy, Penny.

He's broken.

My boy is broken and I can't fix him.

At least come and talk to him.

What would you say to coming to Mum's for a Father's Day dinner tonight?

The trial is tomorrow.

Yeah, but you said that has nothing to do with us.

It has something to do with Meryl.

It's a massive conflict of interest.

Oh, I just thought, you know, things are going so well...

So you'd try to ruin them?

Look, I just don't want this to mean that I can never speak to my mother again.

It doesn't have to.

You know that.

Look, imagine if the roles were reversed and I never wanted to meet your parents.

I'd be stoked.

Honestly, I'd be doing you a favour.

Really?

My family is... complicated.

Have you seen mine?

Look...

I'm just trying to find a way for us to fit into all of that.

So...

OK.

So, it's a no to dinner.

[ELIZA CRIES]

[EXHALES]

[ELIZA CONTINUES CRYING]

- [DOOR OPENS]

- [CRYING CONTINUES]

You can come out now.

They've gone for a walk.

Oh...

Ken, why don't you just tell them the truth?

My parents have worked so hard their entire lives and all they ever wanted in return for was for me to be a doctor.

Why?

Because all my cousins are.

[HALF-LAUGHS]

I'm sure they just want you to be happy.

Clearly you don't know Asian parents.

Your folks light up at the sight of you.

Not Dad.

Why don't you take them out for dinner tonight?

It is Father's Day.

Oh, God.

It'll be lovely.

Will it?


Then you're coming too.

GRAEME: Brody.

Br...

What is it?

_ He's gonna do something stupid.

[SIGHS]

- Brody!

- Brody!

Brody!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

- Brody?

- Brody!

Brody!

Brody!

BOTH: Brody!

GRAEME: Brody!

Dad...

[TOSSES BOTTLE AWAY]

What is this?

What the hell is this?

It's alright, Dad.

I'm fine.

Brody, we know you're suffering and that's OK.

We think you should come back to the clinic with me.

We can have a chat.

Dad?

We'll both go.

- Come on.

- Come on.

[HAYLEY GASPS]

- Oh...

- [TOM LAUGHS]

[BOTH EXHALE]

[SPLAT!]

Oh, no.

A dead snail.

Now I'm a m*rder*r too.

That's nearly all the commandments broken in one day.

- [LAUGHS]

- It's not funny.

I k*ll everything that's good.

Oh, come here.

Come here.

[LAUGHS]

I heard that that snail was a real jerk, so, you know, you're doing him a favour.

[LAUGHS]

Hmm...

Hayley, I'm in love with you.

You can't...

We can't...

Yeah, I know that's, um... maybe not what you want to hear but that's how I feel.

- Tom, I...

- [LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION]

Swing by the brewery or something, yeah.

- Should we go back?

- Mmm.

- Hey, guys.

- Hey.

Tom, do you want to join us for dinner?

Uh...

No, I'll leave you guys to it.

Thanks, though.

OK.

Your choice.

[SIGHS]

MICHAEL: Sante.

Sorry to gatecrash this party, ladies and gentlemen, but this is a very nice drop.

- Oh...

I'd expect no less, sir.

- Mm-hm.

- Wow.

[LAUGHS]

- Daddy...

- Happy Father's Day, from Jimmy.

- AJAX: Mmm.

Thank you, buddy.

Thank you.

Ha.

Socks!

[OTHERS LAUGH]

[LAUGHS]

Thank you.

HUGH: I thought you said you weren't coming.

SHARNA: I'm doing this for you.

You know I really shouldn't be here.

Well, I appreciate it, so thank you.

[KISS]

This just got interesting.

You know, your cousin in Beijing was featured on 'Forbes' magazine.

So impressive.

It wasn't a good photo, though.

Who cares?

His parents were proud as punch.

Is this your girlfriend?

- We just work together.

- No, no, we're just...

colleagues.

[COUGHS]

I told you to wear a jumper.

Now you've got a cold.

- [GAGS]

- I think he's choking.

Mmm...

Mmm...

Son, do something!

Mmm...

Mmm...

Mmm...

- Mmm...

- Let it out.

- Mmm...

- I've got you.

Mmm...

Mmm...

- [YELPS]

- [POP!]

You're alright.

- Are you alright?

- Mmm...

Ugh...

Why didn't you do anything?

Here.

Let's get you back to the clinic.

OK.

[BREATHES STEADILY]

[LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION]

[TAPS GLASS]

I, uh, just want to say, uh, boys, your father would be so proud to see you together like this.

He'd also be very proud of the men that you've become.

Ajax, your spirit.

Matt, your beautiful heart.

And Hugh, your brilliant brain and your ability to find very...

special women.

So, whatever the outcome tomorrow, I just hope this isn't the last time we do this all together.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

[GLASSES CLINK]

Very nice.

Hugh tells me you're building a house.

Trying to, yeah, but it's pretty hard going.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Nothing good is easy but it's super impressive you're trying.

Thanks.

That's the nicest thing anyone's said to me in a while.

She's right, you know.

It's a good thing, you two putting your own roots in the ground, building something for yourselves.

Thanks.

You know, Ajax, I've always admired the fact that you always seem to know what you want.

Excuse me a minute.

MICHAEL: Sorry.

- Are you alright?

- Yeah.

Of course.

No, you're not.

Here.

[EXHALES]

That's for today.

And this is for your ensuite bathroom, loo or something.

Really?

Yeah.

We're family.

We help each other out with dumb-arse plans like trying to build the Taj Mahal in Whyhope.

See you in there.

[BLEEP]

_ [PHONE BLEEPS]

SHARNA: Oh, Cheeky the monkey.

- Cheeky the monkey, huh?

- [ELIZA COOS AND LAUGHS]

Oh, and a big kiss from the monkey.

Mwah!

[LAUGHS]

CHARLIE: Looks like Eliza's got a new favourite.

Eliza likes everyone.

Not me.

Let's keep drinking.

It's the only way to get through it.

- [LAUGHS]

- Sharna, how's your family?

- They must be missing you today.

- Not really.

See, in this family, we support each other through thick and thin.

HUGH: Mum...

How's your brother, Sharna?

I mean, have you spoken to him lately?

Meryl.

Meryl...

I know who has more to hide and it's not me.

What are you talking about, Mum?

I don't know what you're doing, either of you but I think it's time for me to go.

No, hang on.

Wait.

- Hugh, it's Father's Day...

- Don't go.

She's right.

You should stay.

Why did you say you love me?

I had to be honest.

No, you... you can't just come into my life and make me...

feel all these things.

What do you feel?

- [CLATTERING]

- [GASPS]

Wait a minute...

Are you sure?

Yes.

[CRIES]

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey...

Out, two, three...

In through the nose.

Two, three...

And out through your mouth.

Two, three...

Yeah, just keep repeating that.

Your dad's feeling better.

I showed him some breathing exercises.

Thank you.

What happened back there?

You're more than capable of basic first aid.

Mum, Dad...

I don't know how to say this, so I'm opting for the band-aid method.

I'm not a doctor.

I'm an administrator at this clinic.

You've been lying this whole time?

I'm sorry.

I did study medicine, just like you wanted, for a year.

It's just not right for me.

I was never comfortable around the cadavers.

But you'd happily see me dead with shame?

And then administration ignited a fire in me like never before.

I'm really good at my job, some say the best.

The best clerk?

The best pen-pusher?

Mum, can you forgive me?

Are you happy in this role?

I am.

It hurts that you lied but you're my only child.

I love you.

I will forgive you.

Dad?

I have nothing to say to you.

Fill these questionnaires out as honestly as you can and we'll get you both on a mental health plan.

No cheating.

[LAUGHS]

[EXHALES]

I'll give you a moment.

You shouldn't be smoking.

[SCOFFS]

Says the doctor.

Oh, that's right.

You're not one.

You know what this is?

It's the same old story.

How will Ken disappoint his father this time?

I expected more from you.

I've never met your expectations.

I've always known I never could.

I knew it when I was eight years old.

I couldn't help tonight because I was terrified I'd stuff it up and you'd judge me like you always do.

Imagine if I got it wrong and you d*ed and I never got the chance to say 'I love you'.

I might not have turned out the way you wanted but I'm proud of what I do.

Don't ever lie to us again.

Can we go and eat now?

OK.

Let's go eat.

I don't know what we do now.

Well, we didn't... do anything.

We did so much more than we should have.

Do you really think that?

Uh...

I...

I should get back.

Hayley...

Do you want me to leave town?

No.

Sharna's brother's agreed to go on record about it.

Sharna will be revealed as a perjurer and it will discredit the entire case.

Well, surely you have something else.

This is what we're going with.

Yes, but this will ruin her career.

Do you want to see your mother go to jail?

- No, of course I don't.

- Well, I'm confused.

How long have you been going out with her?

A month?

Six weeks?

Or is it because Eliza likes her?

You pimped me out to her in the first place!

I was wrong.

You should've stayed away.

[LAUGHS]

Well, it's a little late for that now, Mum.

Is there another way?

Then it has to be done.

The French doors are still there, Hayles.

We might be able to get them for the house.

Ajax, I've been unfaithful to you with Tom.

Tonight.

And once before that.

I feel terrible but I...

I just want to be honest with you.

Unfaithful how?

We kissed.

It could've gone further but I stopped it.

What do you mean "gone further"?

Did he touch you?

Yes.

- Where?

- I don't know!

- What, did you let him do that?

- Yes.

I...

We were in his caravan and I just...

That's our caravan.

I'm gonna k*ll him.

Ajax, stop.

Stop.

- What else did he do?

- Nothing, OK?

Nothing.

It was just a kiss.

Just a kiss.

Did you have your clothes on?

Yes.

Most of them.

Ajax, stop.

It's not Tom's fault, OK?

Because the thing is...

I kind of wanted it.

Why would you tell me that?

What did you want to happen?

I wanted to be with him.

I think I've wanted that for a while.

What did I do wrong?

Nothing.

Nothing.

Uh...

It's both of us.

Just...

Everything feels different.

Do you want me to leave?

You can't.

We've got Jimmy.

Yeah, Jimmy.

I mean...

You're right.

We're parents first.

You're not sleeping in here, though.
