[Man] Quinn!

Geez, wh-what are you doing here?

I wanted to see you.

Well that's really sweet, but ah, here?

Sorry, I know I should have texted.

Mum's gonna be here

soon and she will go ballistic

if she catches me with you.

What a thrill, eh? Just

makes it even more exciting!

So naughty.

Look, I really need to talk to you.

Okay, just not-not here.

Well, what are you doing later?

Uh, you know the park down my

street with the basketball court?

I can meet you around

there, like... five-ish?

Yeah, I'll be there.

I walk the dogs around

there, so mum won't know.

Sweet.

What if someone sees?

Good for them.

You are unbelievable.

I'll see you later, okay?

[deep breath]

[Girl] Who's winning?

[Man] You, if you want.

Right.

'Cos you know I'm no good.

[Man] I'm calling your bluff.

All right.

Show off.

[Girl] So, this weekend?

Yeah, probably Saturday arvo.

Gotta sort out a few things here first.

That's so soon.

Well, when I first moved here

it was only meant to be for a few weeks,

but I'm glad I got to stay here longer.

Your poor dad.

He's been in and out of

hospital for a few months now.

It just makes sense I'm closer to home

rather than driving all that way

once a week, like I have been.

Yeah, that makes lots of sense.

And I've got a job to go back to.

Still sucks you have to go.

My lease runs out here soon.

So at least that's one thing

I don't have to worry about.

If only I could go with you.

Well, you can.

I can't.

[Man] Why not?

[Girl] Because where do I even start?

First of all, my mum would k*ll me

if she knew I was with you

right now, down the street.

How's she gonna react if I

move three hours away with you?

Like, that's on her.

You're not a baby anymore, Quinn,

you can make your own decisions.

I don't know.

Look, I don't wanna pressure you

into making any big decisions, okay?

I know that it's a bit much.

It's not that I don't wanna go.

It actuallysoundspretty cool.

Like, I've always talked about

getting out of here as soon as I can.

And yeah, I mean, your mum, sure

she's gonna be disappointed at first

butlike, you're basically

an adult now, Quinn.

She's gotta realise that

you are your own person.

I know, I know.

It'sthis is just

hard.

Sorry to put you through this.

I just don't wanna lose you.

You're not losing me.

I will if I stay.

Look, Quinnyou're the most

amazing girl I've ever met.

Okay, I wish you could see

just how amazing you are.

Like, I'd easily stay here

and work some shitty job

and live in a share house if it

meant that I could be with you.

It's just this situation has

put me in such a tough spot.

[birds chirping]

Are you doing anything this Friday night?

No.

Let's go out.

Just you and me, the boardwalk.

I wanna spend my last night with you.

[Man] Sorry I'm late.

Hey, how you going, Jess?

Jess?

She's my alibi.

Mum thinks I'm with her right now.

Ah, so I'm Jess then?

If anyone asks.

Does that make us l*sbian?

You're such a d*ck!

'Heavy Heart' by James Ghareeb

Warm soul caught up by your action

Young mind seeking for reaction

Hmm, heavy chest

are you used to living with it

And heavy hearts

Are you done with fracturing them?

Ooh

Everyone around here

thinks you're cold as stone

Ooh

Don't you feel it burning

deep inside your bones

You know you know you're too f*cked up

And I know, I know that you are not...

That's really where it

all started with Brendan

I just couldn't stand the

idea of being without him

I was consumed with him.

I didn't know what it was,

but right from the start

he just drew me in.

Being a forbidden relationship just made it

so much more adventurous.

We were like 'Romeo and Juliet'.

Heavy Heart Continues

[Quinn] I drove myself insane

deciding whether or

not I should go with him

back to Lanston.

But he was right, there was

nothing for me back at home

and well mum was driving me crazy.

You went with him?

Yeah, I decided the

night that he was leaving.

Talk about last minute.

[clothes rustling]

[bag zipping up]

[car engine idling]

[Brendan] You're doing the right thing.

Yeah.

Would you like to explain the reason

for the animosity between

you and your mother?

[Sighs]

She hated the fact that

I was seeing Brendan.

She would have hated the

fact I was seeing anyone.

Mum's always been overprotective.

More like a control freak.

I was 14 when she let me

have my first sleepover party.

I-I had the strict coming home times

like the phone restrictions.

And at 16, I'd had enough.

I had this friend Jess,

she was kind of wild

we had like a whole day off

school together going to town

and it justfelt so free.

She was seeing this guy

who was friends with Brendan

and that's how we met.

Was all this in secret?

Hell yeah.

She probably suspected something

but I think she just hated the fact

that she couldn't tell

me what to do anymore.

Well, how was it when

you first moved to Lanston?

It was good.

Yeah, it's a pretty cool place to live.

Actually have a cousin who

moved there a few years ago.

We were really close growing up.

[doorbell rings]

Hey!

Oh my God, it's been forever.

Come on in.

You gotten taller?

[Cousin] Uh-uh, don't even think about it.

[Quinn] Oh, come on!

Nup, rules are rules.

I'm 18 in a few months.

Exactly, so not much longer to wait.

Cheers.

[aahh]

Sowhen did you become a local?

Exactly three weeks ago.

And how you settling in?

Good.

I start a job on Monday at Lanston Farms.

Oh yeah, the grocery store.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, I know the one.

Brendan works at the car yard

so our hours are quite similar.

So we get to spend lots of time together.

Oh nice.

And one of his coworkers

is having a barbecue

so I'll get to meet more of his friends.

And ah when did ah

Brendan come on the scene?

Nearly a year ago.

And you're living together already?

Well, sometimes things

happen quicker than you expect.

No time like the present.

[Cousin] What'sthat?

Hmm?

On your arm.

Mmm.

Okay, funny story, rightso

we could not get the smart TV working

for the life of us.

Like we tried turning it on and off again

and then back on.

And Brendan just got so pissed

that he just pegged the

remote across the room

and didn't realise I

was standing right there

and then smack.

Geez.

Well, he was super apologetic about it.

Yeah, well you'd bloody better be.

[chuckles]

[Quinn] It was so good to see you again.

-[Cousin] Don't be a stranger, alright?

-[Quinn] Hmm.

Oh, Quinn, one more thing.

Yeah?

Umm... your mum called me.

Of course she did.

I wasn't gonna say anything, but...

Does she know that I'm here?

Didn't you tell her where you were?

I just told her that I was

safe and I had a place to live.

She probablyshe probably

knew Brendan was from here

and she asked if I spoke to you.

She figured it out, okay, but she's fine.

I told her that I'd look out for you

and that seemed to make her feel better.

She wouldn't get it.

Mums aren't supposed to.

Call me if you need anything, alright?

(Gentle guitar music )

[birds chirping]

Hey.

Morning, beautiful.

What time do you finish work?

Early one, cause it's Saturday,

so ah like two maybe.

And then Matt says that

we can rock up to his place

any time after five.

Oh, cool.

Well, I'd better get a move on.

Brendanabout last night

I don't wanna make a big deal about it.

I really wanted to

(stutters) and I still do

and I want that experience with you

it's justjust wasn't the right...

Hey, shh.

You don't need to explain a thing, okay?

When the time's right,

it'll be the right time.

I want that moment to be special for you.

Aw, how did I get so lucky?

I'm the lucky one.

[toast pops]

Have a great day.

Gentle guitar music continues

Quinn, you home?

[Quinn] Yeah.

Sorry I'm later than I said I would be.

Work was a sh*t of a thing today.

It's always some as*h*le

trying to close a deal

when everyone else is

ready to shut shop for the day.

Didn't realise how late it is.

You almost ready to go to Matt's?

[Quinn] Yeah, I'm ready.

Wow.

Wow?

Ah you're wearing that?

Yeah, I bought it today actually.

[Annoyed] Huh.

What's the matter? You, you don't like it?

Yeah, I like it.

I mean, that's the problem.

Other guys will like you in it too.

Like you show up wearing that,

they'll all try to take you home.

Okay, well, not gonna happen.

Well, it won't stop them from trying.

Whatwhat are you saying?

I'm saying I've told you about these guys

you're gonna get some unwanted

attention looking like that.

Looking like what?

A sl*t.

Are you being serious right now?

Look, can you change

into something else please?

No, I like this dress and I wanna wear it.

So you're gonna make

me out to be the bad guy?

What the hell are you going on about?

Like playing one of your games, are we?

What games?

Nah, I'm not playing.

[sighs]

Brendan, can we talk about this?

There's nothing to talk about.

I'm not taking you to my

mate's place looking like this.

I wanna go.

Okay, change into something else then.

Right now!

Hold on a second.

I'm going.

[car starts]

Are you f*cking kidding me!?

[door slams]

Romantic music

You're lucky Pa's out of

town on business today

otherwise he would have taken his shotgun

and done God knows what to you

before you could step one foot on our farm.

This is my lucky day.

Well, if you want to hold

on to some of that luck

you'd leave right away.

Pa will be home soon and he doesn't take

kindly to Beatniks and neither do I.

I guess they were right.

They?

Yeah.

They told me that's who you were.

They were right.

Not that it would

bother me in the slightest

but right about what?

They said that Gloria

was daddy's little girl.

That she wouldn't look

twice at a low life like me.

And her taste was so bland

she could only go out with squares.

Well, maybe they're right.

Ain't that a bite?

Or maybe I wasn't raised to be

like the fast girls that you're used to.

Maybe

you don't mind that Clifford Sayers Junior

was saying all those

nasty things about you.

Cliff would never!

You would've given him a shiner two if you

heard the things he was saying

to get me to flip my lidand.

[TV movie continues]

[front door]

[keys jingling]

[door closes]

[heavy breathing]

[TV movie continues]

Hey.

What ya watchin', beautiful girl?

[sigh] Whatever this is, just came on.

Oh... cool.

[deep breath]

Looks like you had a good night.

Yeah, it was mainly just the guys from work

I mean, you wouldn't have liked it.

I wouldn't know.

[TV movie] Dress a certain way,

make sure daddy's always proud.

You don't know anything about me.

No, I don't

but I want to, I want to know you.

Is Quinn still mad at Brendan?

For being a frigging jackass?

She laughs.

Am I forgiven?

Hmm?

Stop it!

Does she forgive me?

I wanted to go.

Quinn, trust me.

You would have wanted

to leave straight away.

I'll never know.

[TV continues...]

I might go to bed. I'm tired.

I'll join you.

[TV movie] I'd sure like to try

and find out... if you'd let me.

[crickets chirping]

What you doing?

Jess says she might be

coming by in a couple of weeks

that's awesome!

[kissing]

Brendan, no, I-I don't want to.

What's the matter?

Tell me this doesn't feel right.

I-I just don't feel like it. I'm tired.

You have seriously had too much to drink.

Jesus Christ.

You're so f*cking beautiful.

Ah, I really don't think...

Shh.

I promise you'll like it.

[belt buckle loosens]

[Quinn] Brendan, stop you're being silly.

It's all right, just relax.

[Quinn] I just don't really

think it's the right time.

Shh.

It's okay.

It's all good, just try to relax.

[Quinn] Brendan, wait!

Brendan.

[sharp, fast breathing]

[kissing]

[Quinn echoes] Brendan!

Dramatic music

[past Brendan] When the time's

right it will be the right time.

I want that moment to be special for you.

[echoes of past Quinn]

How did I get so lucky?

[busy traffic]

[Quinn] It didn't make any sense

how I could feel this way about Brendan.

He made me feel so free

and happy and confident.

But after that, I don't even know.

It's like I felt guilty for

not wanting that with him.

Quinn, it sounds like from

this interaction with Brendan

you made it quite clear you

didn't want to go ahead with it.

Yeah, but I had told him

before that I wanted to.

I'm talking this exact moment

would you say you made it clear?

He was really drunkah.

He wasn't himself and

it's not like I put up a fight.

Was he drunk when he

said he didn't like your dress?

I think he also had a

really bad day at work.

What if he has another bad day at work?

Well, he was really sweet about it

the other night when I didn't want to.

He could be the sweetest

person in the world

but you said you made

it clear you didn't want to.

Shouldn't that be reason

enough for him to step back

and not pursue it?

Regardless of who it is

whether it's a hug or a handshake

if you say you don't want

contact with that person

in that momentisn't that enough?

[sighs]

WellI don't remember

exactly what I was saying

or even if he noticed what I was saying.

There are many stories,

thousands that we can learn from.

Sometimes hearing about someone else... can

help us identify similar traits in oneself.

Lots of cases I've worked on over the years

but one in particular I'm thinking of.

I read about when I was doing

my degree many years back.

She never thought she'd

fall for a man quite like him.

She was always a good girl.

He was a bit of a rascal.

They were opposites,

but they fell for each other

head over heels.

Everything about their

relationship was like something

from a classic love story.

'Life is Beautiful' by HARBRS

Time finds a way

To get us back to the start again

To get us back to the start again

To get us back to the start

Life finds a way

To bring us back where it all began

To bring us back where it all began

To bring us back where it all began

Life is beautiful

[Therapist] But over

time, things between them

gradually started to change.

[birds chirping]

Stereo plays

- Hey.

- Hey.

What'd you get up to today?

You knowusual.

Usualhm

see you did the dishes.

I'll get to 'em.

Who are you texting?

No one.

No one, not Zac.

You know what

I'm texting f*cking Santa Claus.

f*ck!

Well are you going to his later?

Did you call those guys today?

What guys today?

The guys from Wiltix about the job

on the second floor.

What are you doin'?

What?

You trying to start an argument?

No, I'm not trying to start an argument.

'Cause f*ck, Jodie

I swear you come home

and you try to find ways to put sh*t on me.

Every day you come in

and you give me the third f*cking degree.

Trev, I'm not trying to start an argument.

Do you think I don't

give a sh*t? Is that it?

Trev, please.

I don't want to get you all worked up

and I'm not trying to make you feel bad.

What are you doing?

Because you're doing a pretty good job

of making me feel like sh*t.

You know what?

I'm worried.

We can't do this on one income.

We're getting so far behind.

Yeah

you think I don't know that?

I don't know Trev, do you?

Trev, I don't want to argue like this.

I want us to

What, what do you want?

I want you to want to do this with me.

Do you have another bad day today?

Is that it?

Trev.

Everything was fine till you walked in.

- Why were you texting Zac then?

- Mind your own f*cking business.

[phone ringing]

[Trevor] Come on.

f*ck answer the phone, you dumb prick.

[Zac] Hey.

Hey, Zachy.

[Zac] Hey, Trev.

-[Trevor] How are you, mate?

-[Zac] Yeah, not bad.

- [Zac] You comin' around with cash?

- [Trevor] Yeah, yeah, still coming by, just

just making sure things are all good, yeah?

[Zac] Yeah, and you're fixing

me up for last week, right?

[Trevor] Nah, I'm a bit short, I

was just wondering if we could umm.

Y'know if we could work something out?

[Zac] Oh here we f*ck' go.

[Trevor] Zac, come on, mate. You know me.

[Zac] Yeah, sure do. That's the problem.

[Trevor] I'll get it to you next

week. You know I won't skip out.

-[Zac] Faaark.

-[Trevor] Hear me out.

I'll get it to you next week.

Midweek latest.

[Zac] You're a broken record,

mate. I heard the same sh*t last week.

[Trevor] What's the problem,

mate? I'll get it to you.

[Trevor stutters] -[Zac]

Go f*ck yourself, Trev.

Zac?

[phone hangs up]

[dramatic music builds]

f*ck.

When is Zac expecting you?

Will you give it a rest

for one f*cking second!

f*ck, why do you have to make

everything such a f*cking drama?

You go on and on and on and on and on

about all the money that we don't have.

And you look at me like it's my fault?

Like it's my fault!

When I was the one and I was the reason

that we could afford this

house in the first f*cking place!

You know what?

You want extra money?

Why don't you go into the city

and spread your legs and

make a few extra bucks that way?

I'm more likely to get

respect there than I am here.

I don't respect you, aye?

[slap] [Trevor grunts]

[Trevor] I don't respect you, aye?

Yeah! [Grunts, punching]

[Jodie] Oh no, Trev!

[Trevor grunts] I don't respect you?

Huh?

What do you want from me?!

[laughter] [radio playing]

[Lady 1] Wait till she gets a new fella

when this one falls through.

-[Lady 2] You so should've.

-[Lady 1] I wanted to.

I never would've heard

the end of it though.

True.

[knocking]

[Lady 2] Who's this?

I don't know, maybe

Ryan's forgotten his key.

Oh, it's Jodie.

Jodie?

Jodie?

Sorry to just show up like this.

Oh my God, what on

earth has happened to you?

Come in, come in, it's

all right, shh, it's all right.

Jodie, come on.

Oh my goodness.

Jodie, what on earth has happened to you?

[muffled heavy metal music]

[sirens]

[knocking]

Oh, hey handsome.

How are you, Dixie?

Ah, long time no see.

You wanna come in?

[sucks teeth]

So what do we do now?

Do we call the police?

No, I don't wanna

complicate things anymore.

He can't get away with this.

And he won't, but you don't have

to worry about that now, okay.

I'm gonna go get some

warm, salty water for your face.

And you're staying here tonight.

So, Trev.

How's that pretty little wife of yours?

Yeah, she's goodumm.

So it's ahh

just you here tonight, yeah?

Mm-hmm.

Yup.

And you, how've you been, good?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, good, good, good.

Can't complainum.

Hey DixDixie, I um

Bit stuck in the money

department at the moment.

And ah, you know, I was um.

Was wondering [stutters] if we

could work out a deal or something.

[chuckles]

Ah, Trev.

You know that the mister doesn't

like me giving away freebies.

Yeah, I know that.

[Dixie] Mm-hmm -[Trevor]

But, it's not a freebie.

I'll give you the money back next week

and I wouldn't, I wouldn't

skip out or anything.

Okay.

Well, in that case, um

Give me that.

What?

Your wedding ring.

My wedding ring?

Mm-hmm.

I'll give it back to you, I mean, next

week when you front up with the cash.

Serious?

Mm-hmm.

I'll get it back, right?

Yep.

Yeah.

Here you go, f*ck it, why not?

[laughing]

f*ck.

You must be desperate.

[whispers] I don't want your wedding ring.

You know what I want.

Come on.

Follow me.

Eerie music

[Lady 2] So Jodie, it is over

between you and Trevor, isn't it?

I suppose it has to be.

Yeah, you can't stay

with someone like that.

It's just so hard to think about, you know?

We've been together for so long and

It would be weird not

having him in my life anymore.

[knocking]

That'd be Ryan this time?

[Lady 1] No, he texted,

said he's staying at John's.

Oh God.

[Lady 2] What?

It's Trevor.

sh*t, we should have called the police.

I'm gonna tell him to go.

No, I'll talk to him.

Jodie, no.

It's okay, he would've calmed down by now.

[crickets]

Hey.

Hey.

You all right?

I've been better, Trevor.

Yeah, me too.

It's a good thing Anna lives close, hey?

Remember where she used to live?

Never would have made it

there on foot, that's for sure.

So you got a fix from someone then?

I understand thatI understand that you

That you're probably pretty

upset with me right now.

I think I have good reason.

Yeah, yeah.

I shouldn't have lost my temper like that.

Just, everything's just

been such a build up.

Yeah, it's been a build up for me too.

I just want you to know that um

I'd never wanna hurt you.

You're the most important

thing I've ever had in my life.

The only person I've ever cared for.

It's just been really hard for me.

Umm without you without you

My life is nothing.

Nothing to live for.

I f*cking hate myself

for being such a failure.

[exhales]

I love you so much, Jodie.

It's been hard for me too, Trevor.

I know baby.

I've been thinking about all the things

that we used to talk about.

Having kids.

Raising a family.

I still want that with you.

Trevor, it hasn't happened that way.

Maybe it's not meant to be.

Oh no, don't say that.

I can I can change.

I will, I will, I will change.

- Trev...

-[Trevor] I j-I just

have to get over this slump that I'm in.

And it will be better.

Trev I'm going to stay here tonight.

Slow music

Please.

Please know how much I love you.

I love you so much.

Please tell me you know that.

I know, Trevor.

[Therapist] She couldn't comprehend

that the man she had loved

the one who was her prince

charming, her protector,

who made her feel safe and warm

who idolised her, was the

same man that terrified her

that made her fear for her life.

How could it be?

Sometimes the people we love the most

are the ones who hurt us the most.

Though I think we need to ask ourselves

is this suffering worth the love?

And if so, for how long?

Yeah.

Tense music

[bird chirps]

[front door opening]

[Brendan] Quinn, you home?

[bag zips]

[Brendan shouts] Quinn?

[door rattling]

[door rattling]

[Brendan] Quinn?

Yeah, I'm in here.

[door rattling]

Why'd you lock the door?

Um, um, a-a fo-force of habit.

Never known you to lock

the bedroom door before.

Uh I'm just in the middle

of something, one second.

What's going on in there?

Nothing.

Open the f*cking door!

[inhales]

[unlocking door]

What are you doing in there?

Nothing, I must have locked it by accident.

Oh yeah, and what's this?

Are you going on a holiday?

I'm going to James's

tonight, he twisted his ankle

and he needs some help around the house.

It's news to me.

I'll be back tomorrow.

Don't f*cking lie to me.

I'm not Brendan I promise.

What are you really going over there for?

Brendan, I told you, let me go.

You're f*cking lying!

Music intensifies

Is this James guy really your cousin?

Bet he isn't.

I'll bet you're f*cking him.

He as good as me?

How 'bout I remind you.

[Brendan grunts]

Dramatic music continues

[doorbell rings]

Hey!

Is everything okay?

[birds chirping]

Yo, Trev.

Hey, Mikey.

How are you, mate?

Good, man.

- Yeah good.

- Warm enough.

Yeah, talk about it.

Haven't checked your mailbox lately.

f*ck.

Look at that, eh?

Mate, get a no junk mail sign.

It's kind of all junk, really.

Umm I'm a bit pressed for time.

Yeah, no worries.

Thanks, mate.

[Trevor] Thanks, pal.

I'm just a bit behind, bills

and, getting the car fixed.

It's all right, man.

We've all been there.

Um, I'll pay you back as soon as I can.

No, no, it's all good, man. It's all good.

UmJodes not around?

Ah nah.

Nah, she's um, she's at some f*cking

girls' weekend or something, I don't know.

Ah look, I've got to run out, so

umm, you're a champ, buddy.

- Yeah, it's all right, mate, all right.

- Thank you, yeah.

- Won't f*ck you around.

- Yeah, it's all good.

- Cheers, bro.

- See you next time.

Yeah, I'll catch you soon.

[door closes]

[sighs]

I can't be with you anymore.

Sombre music

We need to go our separate ways.

[screaming]

[sobbing]

[wail]

[glass smash]

[James exhales]

You know, that story about the

remote should have been my first clue.

You know, it's taking

every fiber of my being

not to go over there

and deck his sorry a*s.

I know, and I appreciate

you not doing that.

[deep breathing]

Do you know what you're gonna do now?

Maybe.

I started to see a therapist.

It's actually really helped.

How long ago did it happen?

Umnearly two weeks ago.

Mate, you should have come over right away.

I know, I just, I didn't, I

didn't know what to do.

I thought I was just being

sensitive about the whole thing.

And he went back to being Mr. Perfect

until I tried to leave.

He better wish he doesn't

pass me on the street.

[chuckles]

I'm here now.

You are.

[giggles]

[birds chirping]

Oh look who's here.

Hey, how's things?

You said you'd be here at one.

Yeah, ah, work went a bit crazy.

Oh yeah, same for me

but we still have to make some effort.

How is everything at work?

Yeah, can't complain.

And how's everything going...

Hang on a minute, how

long have you been back?

Like, just over a month.

And you're only just seeing us now?

I've just been busy with work

and getting Quinn settled in.

Oh, is she here?

Nah, she um, she couldn't make it today.

Oh, I was sort of hoping

we'd finally get to meet her.

Yeah, sorry, also just didn't feel like

the greatest timing either.

Good timing hasn't been in

the cards for anyone lately.

Are you sure you can't

eat any more of this?

You've hardly eaten.

I just don't have the appetite.

Remember, you need to eat something

to absorb all those pills you're on.

I'll be fine.

[sighs]

You watch the grand final on Saturday?

Yeah, was a good one.

I watched it in a hospital.

I think I got a little bit too into it.

The nurse came over and

suggested I settle down.

[both laugh]

Looked across at my neighbour

and he was giving me a filthy look.

So I reckon he complained.

What a loser.

Yeah, he looked like one of

those miserable old pricks.

You know, I heard him complaining

about the coffee to the nurse.

It's a public hospital, mate.

Like, you're not gonna

get a grande latte there.

[laughing]

Oh, oof.

You all right?

Oh, yeah, yep.

You sure?

Is there anything here you can take?

I'm fine, I'm fine.

I'm already on more drugs than a junkie.

Well, just lie down, okay.

You don't need to get up.

Ah, I just gotta get used

to the medication again.

Y'know the the meds cause swelling

and inflammation of the joints.

And so they give me another pill for that.

And that one causes dizziness.

It's just all the big circus in here.

Hopefully won't be for too long.

And I haven't got much of an appetite.

And the doctor says that I have to

have at least two meals a day.

You know, ya Uncle Ronnie

he brought around those pork ribs

that he does in the smoker.

Yeah, I could barely eat one.

Wow, you really are f*cked up.

[laughing]

Ah, hopefully in a couple of days

you can bring around

that girlfriend of yours.

Yeah, maybe.

Is she a nice girl?

Yeah, she is.

Oh, that's good.

I'm glad.

Yeah, look, I'll sort it

out when I get back in.

I'm just about to leave now.

I should only be about 10,

my son finally showed up.

Yeah, right.

Okay, yep, I'll be there soon.

Hey, I've got to rush back to the office.

Are you all right to stay for a moment?

They can't get by without you.

Oh, if you knew, you

wouldn't be asking that.

Dad just got out of hospital

like can't you take some time off?

I've used all my leave

looking after your dad.

I haven't had to inconvenience

the office like this in 20 years.

It's just an inconvenience?

You know, if we had tenants in our rental

we could have afforded a

live-in carer for your father

but instead we let you live

there practically for nothing.

Try to teach you to be

responsible, independent.

And how's that going?

I thought at least you'd be

able to help out once in a while

but you know, here

you are for the first time.

So yes, it's an inconvenience

as I'm having to do

everything all by myself.

You know people ask, how's he going?

But does anyone ever think

to ask, how are you handling it?

Like, am I supposed to

just carry the brunt of it all

and be okay with that?

Sorry.

[sighs]

Look, I've gotta go.

And ah, do me a favour.

Shave that hideous thing off your face.

'Move Through Space' by Irah Miah

Like a spirit hovers above water

Move through space

Like the light touching my face...

[Voicemail] Hey, Brendan

here, leave a message.

Brendan.

It's me.

I didn't wanna be doing this on the phone

but I figured it'd be easier this way.

From this moment on, I

won't be contacting you.

And I don't want you to contact me either.

'Move Through Space' continues

There were times you made me feel happy

times you made me feel loved

but I can't remember those moments

without thinking of the

times you made me feel afraid.

You made me feel lost, alone, and in pain.

[Voicemail] Hey, it's

Quinn, you know what to do.

Leave the message.

Hey, Quinn.

Got your messageah

what the hell was that all about?

[Quinn] You might feel angry hearing this

but your feelings aren't my problem now.

It's not my job to understand

why you are what you are.

Are you seriously gonna make me out

to be the bad guy here?

Like, after everything I've

done for you, it's so unfair of you.

[Quinn] I loved you.

I trusted you.

I put you above everything.

And then you tried to break me

But I'm not broken.

[nervous laugh]

Like, you actually

think that I attacked you.

Oh, hey, hey, if I'm some predator

then why would you keep

living with me for so long?

So good seeing you again.

Don't be a stranger, eh.

[Quinn] I hope you will

learn something from this

as I know I have.

I'm sorry, Quinn.

Can we please talk about this?

You know I'd never meant to hurt you.

I would never hurt you.

[slaps face]

Goodbye, Brendan.

[train announcement speaker]

[Brendan] Quinn, you're right.

I messed up.

I'm so sorry, Quinn.

Please come home.

I wanna work on myself

and you're the only person who can help me.

I love you, Quinn.

Please don't throw away what we have.

(train approaching)

[car horn]

Thank you so much for everything.

I'm happy to help.

I'm so glad I've got you

with stuff like this going on.

Hmm Stop it.

[both chuckle]

[phone rings]

That Trevor?

Yep.

You're going to have to

talk to him soon or later.

I know, I just, not now.

Well, at some stage, you'll have

to go over there and get your things.

Because you can't keep wearing my stuff.

[laughing]

Are you all right?

No I feel funny.

Is it nerves?

No, I don't think so, but...

Hey, come here.

I-I need to sit down.

Yeah, I'll get you some water.

Come sit down.

[waves crashing]

[Therapist's echoed words]

There are many stories.

Thousandsthat we can learn from.

Sometimes hearing about someone else

can help us identify

similar traits in oneself.

She never thought she'd

fall for a man quite like him.

They were opposites,

but they fell for each other

head over heels.

Everything about their relationship

was like something

from a classic love story.

Lots of cases I've worked on over the years

but one in particular I'm thinking of.

I read about many years back.

Sombre music

Things between them started to change.

Is this suffering worth the love?

And if so, for how long?

[screaming]

[Anna] Yeah, we've just

come out of the doctors.

Everything's fine.

Hey, I'll talk to you about it later, okay?

All right, bye.

Everything's gonna be okay.

I cannot believe the timing.

All I've ever wanted for the last 10 years

was for Trevor and I to have a baby.

We'd pretty much given up and I thought

it's okay, we're just

not meant to be parents.

You don't have to think about that now.

You just have to process it.

I wrote to Trevor.

Told him it was over.

And it is over.

Sombre music

I wish I could be happy right now.

[Woman] Quinn?

Yeah, hi, mum.

Are you okay?

What's going on?

I'm fine.

Mum, I...

Can I come home?

Yeah.

Yes, Quinn.

Please come home.

'Heavy Heart' by James Ghareeb

Cold soul, withered by my actions

Numb mind trying to forget them

Heavy chest getting

used to living with it

Heavy hearts I am used to carrying them

Ooh

Everyone around me is cold as stone

Ooh

I can feel it burning

deep inside my bones

I know, I know, I'm too f*cked up

And you know, you know that you are not

And we know, we know, it's never enough

I am a m*rder*r

[vocalising]

Warm soul caught up by her action

Young mind seeking for reaction

Heavy chest are you

used to living with it

And heavy hearts are you

done with fracturing them

Ooh

Everyone around me

thinks you're cold as stone

Ooh

Don't you feel it burning

deep inside your bones

You know, you know,

you're too f*cked up

And I know, I know that you are not

And we know, we know, it's not enough

After all, they call you a m*rder*r

Let me close to you

Even though my reach is high

If only I could do

The things that won't make you cry

You don't know what I'd lose

For us to be alive

The talk of the past

will catch up to you and I

After all, they call me a m*rder*r

They call me a m*rder*r
