Packed to the Rafters (2008) s01e06 Episode Script
Facing Demons
Look, before you say anything just listen, OK'? Hear the whole story and then tell me what you think.
Maybe you'll hate him.
Maybe you'll hate me.
But just hear me out.
OK? So, it all started at work.
Day one - my first job ever.
I was so excited.
MAN: She is, as yet, unsullied by the evils of the advertising world.
So tread gently, please.
I want her to make it through the year only slightly shopsoiled.
I bruise easily too, just for the record.
No marks, I promise.
Oi! Don't scare her off.
So I'll be needing someone to give her the grand tour of the office.
Talia, could you spare Sure.
Good.
Welcome.
Thanks.
Hi.
I'm Talia.
Hi.
Rachel.
Rachel.
Hi.
I apologise if I'm a little bit off this morning.
We had client drinks last night till 3:00 and I think I'm still smashed.
So if I suddenly walk into a wall, just ignore it.
Not a problem.
Tea and coffee room.
Very self-explanatory.
The milk frother's on the fritz, though, so just use cold.
So where were you last working? Actually, I'm just out of uni.
Oh, now, that I didn't pick.
Total newbie, huh? Mm-hm.
Well, you must be a bit of a gun, 'cause Ronan here hardly ever hires without experience.
The $50 I slipped him in the interview probably helped too.
Oh, yeah, he responds well to bribery.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Rachel, this is George.
George is a junior accounts executive, which means you only have to suck up to him 22% less than everyone else.
Ah.
Rachel, right? Yeah, hi.
Welcome to our humble abode.
Thanks.
Anything you want, my desk is always open.
Careful, he bites.
I do not! I really don't.
She's just making a little joke.
What? Hey, who's that'? So we'll get together on Tuesday, just so Oh, that's Daniel.
He's one of our art directors.
Pretty cute, huh? If you like that sort of thing.
Ooh! Ronan! Think we're in with a chance now.
OK, great.
Thanks.
See ya round.
Hey.
I'm Daniel.
Hello.
And this would be the bit where you would tell me your name.
Yeah, um, Rachel.
Madam, I see you've, uh, availed yourself of the bar offerings.
It's the only way to get through these things, I find.
Yeah, Chateau Cardboard, I presume.
There is always the promise of something stronger, however, if you can handle the salubrious surroundings of the photocopier room.
Best stuffs always hidden away in there.
But you have to promise not to tell George, 'cause he gets a bit prohibitionist about that kinda thing.
I promise.
Have you ever tried absinthe, Miss Rachel? No.
It will turn your night sideways.
Hi.
Morning.
God, I feel heinous.
Do you have a license to serve that stuff'? I did warn you it was potent.
Right, well, I'll have to remember to pay attention next time.
Here.
Wasn't sure how you took it.
Usually how it comes.
Thanks.
You're up early.
I'm up late, actually.
I couldn't sleep.
So you just sat there watching me all night? Pretty much.
Doesn't weird you out, does it? I don't know.
No.
But did you really just sit there all night? Yeah.
Well, you looked really pretty the way you were sleeping.
Just kind of felt like the right thing to do.
Hope it's OK.
No, it's lovely.
Well, thanks for letting me crash.
You're not in a hurry to go anywhere, are you? No.
Kind of thinking about giving you a kiss if that's quite alright.
Please do.
Cassie says hello to everyone.
Oh.
'Cassie'? What happened to Belinda? Ben! Ben, what's the matter? Can't keep up? (PHONE RINGS) Sorry, Mum.
Cass, hey.
Unbelievable! Is he bringing them round in alphabetical order or what? Oh, Nathan's just sowing his wild oats.
Yeah, with a year's worth of centrefold girls.
How is that fair? You'd get a nice girl yourself if you brushed your teeth more often.
Or opened my own Hooters restaurant.
Could you make yourself useful and get your mother a nice bottle of red, please? And as for you, Missy Mm-hm, there's a tone.
No.
No tone.
Just wondering where you've been all weekend.
I've been trying to call you since Friday.
Uh, stalky.
Uh, not stalky when it's your mother.
We have a God-given right to know where our children are at all times.
I don't remember getting any missed calls.
I left you three messages.
Three.
Yeah, not that you're counting or anything.
It's in my job description to worry, you know that.
I met someone.
Really? Someone special, by the look of that.
Someone very special.
Oh! Look at you! So that's where you've been all weekend.
He's got an apartment close to work so we've pretty much been hanging out there all weekend.
We haven't stopped talking, really.
He's brilliant, sexy, smart, funny --90I'geous_ Oh, darling, that's fantastic.
So when are we going to meet him? Soon, I hope.
Well, I want to know everything - name, rank, serial number.
Well, no, actually, you can leave out the X-rated details.
At least until I've had a few Pinots.
Alright, I'll save them.
OK.
Cheers.
RACHEL: And that was the thing - I was really happy.
I wanted Mum to know everything, because at the start he was a really beautiful person.
Someone you want to tell your mum about.
He still is that beautiful person somewhereinside.
No matter what he's done since.
Where was I'? So I've stayed at his house pretty much every night for the last month.
Toothbrush at his place? Yep.
Hair-dryer? Mm-hm.
This is getting serious.
That is so hot.
I am completely jealous.
But in a totally, totally supportive way.
Well, I guess we're going to have to come out soon, though.
I'd hate for someone to bust us before I had a chance to tell Ronan.
Yeah, who on earth would do that'? I don't know.
I'd just hate for it to affect things at work, you know'? People get funny about inter-office romances.
Yeah, on second thought, if it's got legs, you're better off getting it out in the open sooner rather than later.
And Ronan won't mind, I swear.
I hope not.
I love this job.
And Daniel? We'll see about that.
Has he met the olds yet'? Briefly, but tonight's a big first.
He's cooking them dinner.
What a suck.
At their place.
Total suck.
You ladies want anything from the noodle place? Rachel? No, I'm fine thanks, George.
Oi, do you want to know if I want anything from the noodle place, or were you busy tripping over your tongue'? Sorry, did you want something'? No, I'm fine, thank you.
Great.
Sorry.
(CRASH!) (LAUGHS) I'm fine.
Sorry.
Maybe if you did get it out in the open, poor George might be able to relax a bit.
RACHEL: Hello! Hello.
Hello.
For you.
Oh, Daniel, they're gorgeous.
Thank you.
Mwah! And for the man of the house You beauty.
Told the rep we had to sample the product before we'd even think about working with him.
Remind me again why I didn't get into advertising.
Hey, beautiful.
Hello, Dad.
Mwah! Nan, Grandad, this is Daniel.
Hey.
Pleased to meet you.
Likewise.
G'day.
I wish I had have known you guys were coming.
Um, one second Here we go - for you.
He can stay! Yes.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Right, Rachel, my raw ingredients, if you please.
Here you are, master chef.
This won't take too long.
Oh, now, is there anything I can do? Absolutely not.
Take a seat.
Relax.
Oh, he's very strict, isn't he? Yes, I am.
Now, where's my glamorous assistant? Here I am.
I was talking about your dad.
(LAUGHS) Just kidding.
He looks fit.
(LAUGHS) And he brings beer.
I reckon that one needs more sauce on it.
Yep.
(PHONE RINGS) Oh, timing! Could you get that for me? Yeah, sure.
Hello.
Daniel's phone.
Yeah, sure.
I'll just get him for you.
Hang on.
Someone called Jamie.
Oh, cool.
Jamie, hi.
No.
I'm not at home.
I can drop it round tomorrow.
Was it the jacket and them? Yeah, OK.
Yeah.
Yeah, no kidding? (LAUGHS) Alright.
Yeah, 'bye.
Who's Jamie? That's my ex.
Often call you up for a chat, does she? Sometimes.
Problem? Of course not.
Why would there be'? Some magnificent aromas coming from the kitchen.
I hope they live up to the hype.
No chance it won't, my friend.
Prepare to be dazzled.
So, uh, you still see your ex, then? Jamie.
Every now and then, I guess.
It must be pretty regularly if she's still got stuff at your place.
I cooked her dinner last week.
Really? Yeah.
We're still pretty close.
And did she stay over? Rachel A yes or no will do.
Yes.
Right.
(CLANKS DISHES) (SLAMS DISHES DOWN) Well, I guess that explains why you were busy the other night.
Rachel Any other exes you're hiding? I'm not hiding anything.
No'? And when were you going to tell me about this? What exactly does âstaying over" entail? Don't do this.
Don't do what? Play little games.
It doesn't suit you.
I'm not playing any little games.
I'm just asking a few simple questions.
Can you take the knife out of your hand before you ask the next one? So, what - are you sleeping with her? I didn't know the thing with you and me is supposed to be exclusive.
Is it? I don't know.
(SHARPLY) Is it? You're the one wanting the simple answers.
That's a yes or no.
Sorry for asking.
Are you two going to be much longer? It's a lovely night out.
And that was our first fight.
You were there.
The first big hint that something wasn't right.
I should have realised.
Run for the hills.
But I didn't.
You were falling in love.
Free-falling.
How long's that been going on for'? No idea.
I mean, we pretty much stopped talking after that.
I didn't want to fight.
Not at Mum and Dad's place.
Oh! But you're still into him, right? Of course.
I just Just not sure we need to be completely serious.
You know, we're both pretty young.
Who wants to be attached at this age? L do! You have been subscribing to 'Bridal Monthly' since you were 12.
Mm-hm.
You don't count.
So does this mean you and Daniel are going to see other people? Probably.
I mean, it seems like the best thing to do.
You know, just free us both up a bit.
That is completely wild.
Like who? I don't know.
Like other people in my social circle, I guess.
Morning.
I see.
I'd love to.
Let's book ahead so we get a table.
Righto, you.
Busy.
I don't care.
We're talking.
Nothing to talk about.
You are so adorable when you're being a goose.
I am not being a goose.
You are being the mother of all gooses.
Geese.
So, you admit it? Is this going somewhere? Fine.
You win.
I don't want to do this.
Do what? What do you want me to do, Rafter? Crawl on broken glass? Well, that would be a good start.
Hey you're the one for me and I am all yours if you'd be stupid enough to take me on as your ever-lovin' man.
Which, by the look on your face, I think you are.
Oh, I can be incredibly stupid when I want to be.
Lucky me.
(PHONE RINGS) GEORGE: (ON SPEAKER) So should I book a table for three? And that was it.
I was in.
My fate was sealed.
All this time, not the slightest hint about the drugs? Well, we partied a lot.
Drank all the time.
But nothing major.
MAN: OK, Katharine Hepburn.
Ah, 'The African Queen'.
'Bringing Up Baby'.
'Philadelphia Story'.
'Woman of the Year'.
'Adam's Rib'.
Uh (IMITATES GAME SHOW BUZZER) (LAUGHS) (GROANS) You're a nerd, you know that'? You are a sore loser.
WOMAN: Oh, vomit.
No PDA.
I'm already dying of envy.
To Cuba! Man after my own heart.
Rightio? Alright.
Salt.
There we go.
We all good? Rightio! Cheers, everybody! Rig htio.
Oh, he's making a speech.
Taxi! Rachel and I have a very important announcement we'd like to make.
As you can see, Rachel's imbibed a fair amount of hard liquor as usual this evening.
So needless to say, there will be no pitter-patter of tiny little feet.
Thank God.
Since Miss Rafter has invaded my personal space with so much of herjunk already, we've just decided to make it a permanent thing.
You're moving in'? Yeah.
Seriously? Lock, stock and entire wardrobe.
We need more tequila! Yeah! Whoo! Oh, can we go? I'm gonna need a chiro if I'm ever gonna walk again.
You have been saying that all day, and you barely lifted a thing.
I carried that whole chest of drawers! We wanted to help, didn't we, Ben? OK, good luck with it all.
Give us a call if you need anything.
We'll be fine.
Right.
'Bye, Dad.
'Bye, sweetheart.
It's the going-off-to-war goodbye again.
Give it a rest, would you? 'Bye.
(DOOR CLOSES) Ta-da! Well handled, sweetheart.
Oh, I thought they'd never leave.
Shall we'? Just a second.
Hold that pose.
No, come on.
Don't.
I don't have any lipstick on.
I don't care.
What, you wanna record this historic moment now'? Yep.
First bottle of fizz popped in our new place.
Give me a pose.
(CAMERA CLICKS) (CAMERA CLICKS) We did it! Yeah! Yeah! Baby, your world awaits.
Ahh! Welcome to your new life.
I am so lucky I met you.
Correct.
(BOTH LAUGH) You and me, Rafter.
We are gonna have so much fun.
Get smashed! Yeah! RACH EL: For one brief moment, everything was perfect.
So I'm thinking we really need to push the online element of this.
So I was thinking of doing a mock layout.
Rachel? Yeah.
Did you wanna look into that'? Sure, I can get online.
OK.
Don't get too excited about it.
I think we should look at working with Bebo.
Layout's simple and accessible to the audience we're after, and the membership is skyrocketing.
Did you want me to run off some prints? Yes, that would be fantastic, Daniel.
Thank you.
How do you do it? What? Ugh.
I feel like death after last night.
Shouldn't have had that last bottle.
I can still taste it.
Do I have those horrible purple lines around my mouth'? Come on, chicken.
Crash or crash through.
I'm starting to think that crash might be the only option.
(CHUCKLES) That, or puke on the desk.
Are you ready to get back into it? Yep.
Look, I actually think I need to go home.
I'm not feeling very well.
I think I ate something bad.
What, like a bad shiraz? I'm ready when you are.
JULIE: Darling, are you sure you're alright? Oh, Mum, I'm fine.
I knew we were coming over for dinner, so I thought I'd leave work early.
Oh, we should all be so lucky.
(DOOR CLOSES) DANIEL: Hello? Oh! Front door was open.
Hello.
How's the slacker? I'm having a mental health afternoon.
(CH UCKLES) Is that fish and chips? Nothing like fried potato in beer batter to help you feel better.
There's enough for everybody there.
I love you.
I don't have to cook! Thank God, you brought wine.
I've tried everything else to take this headache away.
You are a shameless pleasure-seeker, Rafter, you know that'? It is purely for medicinal purposes.
I may perish without it.
Oh, we can't have that.
Doctor's orders.
RACHEL: I know, I know.
Drinking away a hangover.
Never a good thing.
But that was the least of my problems.
The next morning I found out how Daniel bounced back so easily from the latest binge.
Close the door.
What the hell are you doing? I knew you'd make a big deal out of this.
A big deal?! You are doing drugs in my parents' house! It's totally minor.
It's just to get me through the morning.
Keep your voice down and close the door.
What if my mum catches you?! She won't if you stop yelling and close the door.
How's your head? Terrible.
RACH EL: It was pathetic.
Where he led, I followed.
And then we came through with the kick-up.
A local band, someone from the pub scene.
Somebody nobody knows just yet but going places.
You know, put the feelers out with the record companies.
They're really keen to get on board, they're frothing on it.
And then we just push further.
You know, gigs, one-off events - wherever the band goes, the brand goes.
Good.
Good work.
Feeling better today'? Yeah, absolutely.
RACHEL: What was more pathetic was how it totally took over our whole lives.
Well, his, anyway.
Oh, not tonight.
Come on, babe.
You don't need it.
I'll be the judge of that.
It's their anniversary.
(FLICKS LIGHTER) Precisely.
Thanks for this.
You'll PaV- You're sweating.
I'm fine.
Hello, Daniel.
Thanks for coming.
You feeling alright? He's fine.
I ate too much.
Unlike Daniel.
Mum, he's not a big eater.
You know that.
You might not have drunk as much as old Thomas the Tank Engine here, but you've still had a few.
We're all gonna take a cab.
Alright, cab's fine.
We'll get a cab, pick up the car in the morning.
Do they ever let up? RACH EL: But even after that dinner, I didn't twig.
And then things got so ugly, so fast.
DANIEL: Oh, what are you talking about? The guy knew I was joking.
He did not.
Rachel, he's a cab driver! It's not like he's not used to having people No, no.
You were just being rude for no good reason.
And you sounded like a complete jerk.
And you were acting like a complete slag, flirting with him.
What?! I was not flirting with him! You were certainly laughing at all his jokes, making that stupid noise.
What noise? That (SNORTS LIKE A PIG) Sounds like a bush pig stuck in a mud pit.
Jesus, you are so aggro on ice! It's unbearable.
And people are starting to notice.
Oh, no-one's noticing.
Yes, they are! Mum saw you weren't eating dinner.
They had to pay for that! So this is about money, then! Here.
You know what? I don't wanna have this conversation.
You're the one who started it! You're the one who wanted to Stop it, Daniel! I'm not doing anything! I don't even recognise you when you're like this! Rachel, get! (GROWLS) The next night, the same thing.
Only this time he broke the door down and hit me.
DANIEL: (BANGS ON DOOR) Open the door! (THUD! THUD!) No, Dan.
Please, no! TED: There's no need to tell me any more.
Please, Grandad! That's the night I moved home, thinking it would end it.
But, uh there's something evil about that drug.
Something obsessive and destructive which is why Daniel emailed the video.
Hey, hey, stop.
Now, that's enough.
I know you saw it, Grandad.
There's some things that don't need to be discussed, Rachel.
But they do! That's why I'm here.
Look, I know Daniel sent it to the home email.
Is that Hey, hey! I got rid of it.
Your mum and dad never saw it.
Thank you.
Oh, thank God.
And don't worry - I stopped it as soon as I realised.
(WHISPERS) Grandad Nathan, stop hogging the cornflakes! I'm not hogging them! Yes, you are! You're being a complete pig! Mum, tell him he's being a pig! Oh, what are you two? 12'? Fight your own battles.
There won't be any left! There will be! Will you guys shut up? I'm trying to listen to the news.
Oh, and you finished the milk! Can I borrow some milk? We're out.
Nathan finished it.
Oh, you pig! There's some UHT in the cupboard.
UHT tastes like clag.
Would you all just shut up, please?! Dad! The kettle's just boiled, if you'd like a cuppa before your walk.
No, I'm fine.
Hi, Grandad.
RACHEL: This morning, I knew there was something wrong.
I didn't know what but you wouldn't look at me.
Dad, you alright? What are you doing? Following me? What's going on? Nothing.
Can't a man go for his daily walk without the third degree? Has something happened to you? The doctor said to take it easy! Nothing happened.
I'm fine.
Just go home, Julie.
No, you're not fine.
You barely said hello in there.
You ignored Rachel.
I thought things were good now.
They are.
Well, they will be.
Just give me some space, alright? Well, if you need to talk, or (SIGHS) .
.
something.
You right, Grandad? You've been a bit quiet the last few days.
Hey, look, I've got a bit of an announcement to make, if you could just shut up for five seconds.
I really appreciate the way you've looked after me here, but there's only so long I can spend cluttering up the back bedroom with all myjunk.
So I'm moving back to the townhouse.
Effective immediately.
RACH EL: I knew you leaving home had something to do with me.
But! couldn't deal with it, so I threw myself into work.
You are looking at the goddess of design.
Ask me - are the new clients in the bag'? Yes.
Yes, they are.
I take it that you haven't heard about Daniel? What about him? Ronan fired him this morning when you were out with those clients.
Seriously? Mm-hm.
I wanted to tell you before the, umgossip started.
Uh, thanks, but why'? Daniel's not a part of my life anymore.
You know that.
Yeah, but he was.
And just because you broke up doesn't stop it from being sad.
I mean, the way he is now He's just so different.
It's like the Daniel we know is Gone.
Yeah.
Well, it's a shame he lost his job, but unfortunately that's just what happens when you don't turn up to work.
Oh, OK.
Says the girl who used to turn up to work hung-over or worse.
I haven't done that for a while, have I'? Anyway, why are you defending him? You know what he did.
I'm not.
I'm on Team Rachel all the way.
I'm not denying that you're better off without him.
It's just that I don't wanna do a victory dance just because he's made a mess of his life.
He brought this on himself.
Yeah, but he's a good guy underneath it all.
I just hope he gets some help, that's all.
Truce? (KNOCK AT DOOR) So there is something wrong.
You sure moving out's the answer? Nothing's wrong, I told you.
I just think it's time.
Dad, you know we're really happy having you here.
Yeah, I know, and I'm grateful for it.
But the townhouse is just sitting there.
There's no-one in it.
And now seems as good a time as any.
Hey, look, don't think I'm not grateful.
But it's just time this grumpy old bugger moved on.
Are you sure it's not something that we've done? Course not.
(SIGHS) It's just my life.
And it's sitting there, waiting for me to live it.
And I'm in a good head space right now, you know'? Any fitter, I'd be well.
And this place is bursting at the seams.
There's no room.
Dad, there's always room for you.
I know.
But I've made up my mind.
Hey, the curse of the fourth bedroom! First I bail.
Six weeks later, you do.
Need a hand? No, thanks, mate.
Any dresses you need picking up from the drycleaneï¬s? What? Ben! Out! Out! Who cares what people think? I'll see how the dryer's coming along.
Mmm.
Grandad? Yeah? I wish you wouldn't go.
Gotten used to having you around.
Oh, time to move on.
Grandad, you're not upset with any of us, are you? With me? Course not.
Well, I'd better get back to it.
RACH EL: That was it.
The light bulb moment.
You must have seen the video.
I felt so sick.
What do you mean, you're too busy to help your grandad move home? No, look, Mum, I've got something on, OK'? This is a transitional time, Rachel.
Ben's coming.
Well, good.
That'll be two of you, then.
Grandad'll be fine.
It'll take an hour.
Mum, I really have to go.
Where? (HEAVY KNOCKING ON DOOR) RACHEL: Daniel! Open the door! My grandad knows about the video.
How does he know'? Did you tell him? Rach.
Did you send it to him? No, I would never do that.
Can you just give me Wait! Just wait! What are you doing? Why didn't you check who you sent it to? The decent thing.
Why do you never do the decent thing?! I wanted to.
I was Oh, don't tell me.
You were just too high.
Rachel, please.
Can you'? You sent it to my parents' house.
I'm sorry.
It wasn't me.
You know that.
It's the drugs.
Come on, this isn't my fault.
You know exactly what you were doing on ice.
I remember.
You wanted to hurt me.
No.
I was angry.
You left me and it hurt, and I was really high.
What the hell are you doing? I just need one hit.
That's all.
Please, come on.
I need it.
You disgust me.
All that crap about doing NA.
Rachel, what are you'? (YELLS) It is bad enough that I'm going to have to live the rest of my life with that video out there.
But do you wanna know the worst thing? You deliberately tried to destroy my family.
So go on, keep taking your stupid drug.
You can't get any lower.
Hey! Rachel, wait.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Please stop.
(SOBS) What happened to me? I'm gonna I've got nothing left! I've got nothing left.
Don't leave me now.
I'm sick.
I need help! Please Well, the garden doesn't look too bad, Dad.
Ben, cut it out.
Stupid busybodies.
Oh, they're just copping an eyeful, that's all.
I wouldn't worry about it.
They'll get sick of it pretty quick.
Worry about a few nosy parkers? Hardly.
OK.
Let's get some curtains open, let some fresh air in.
Oh, thanks, Ben.
I'll get the ones in the kitchen.
No, no, no.
Leave it.
I'll take care of it.
No, Dad.
We don't mind.
No, I'll do it myself.
It's always good to get your hands a bit dirty.
You sure? Yeah, I'm sure.
Sure.
Well, we could stay for a cup of tea.
Great.
No, no.
You two head home.
I'll give you a call later.
Well, just don't stand there like a couple of dills.
Get 90in!!- OK.
You'll call me later? Yeah.
Don't let them get to you, Grandad.
Show them who's boss, eh? (WHISPERS) lwondered when we'd see him back here.
(WHISPERS) I hope he's left his dresses at the hospital.
TED: Lovely evening.
(PHONE RINGS) Hello.
Oh, hi, Dad.
It's me.
Uh, can you hang on a sec? Guys, do you have to watch that now'? Yeah, it's for work.
How can a garden reno show be Oh, doesn't matter.
Never mind.
Sorry, Dad.
How are you settling in'? Oh, fine.
Fine, love.
Right.
Caught up with any old friends yet'? Oh, I'll get around to it.
Well, maybe you could, you know, invite someone over for a glass of wine or something.
Look, love, I know how to socialise.
It was just a suggestion.
(SIGHS) I'll take it on board.
Now, are you gonna let a man get some peace and quiet? Sure.
Um, I'll call you tomorrow, OK'? Wight, love.
'Night.
(SIGHS) (DOORBELL RINGS) Hi, Grandad.
So that's my story.
I guess I wanted you to remember Daniel the way he was.
Try to understand why he did it.
Nothing that you've told me excuses what he did.
No-one forces you to drink.
No-one forces you to take drugs.
Well, what about me, Grandad? Can you forgive me? Of course.
But I was just like him.
I got drunk.
I took drugs.
I knew he was filming me.
I wish it had never been made.
I wish you'd never seen it.
Maybe things will never be the same between us.
But sometimes the only way through is to talk.
You know, just say it like it is.
Yes, Daniel is an ice addict.
But that means he's sick.
He needs help.
No matter what he's done.
Rachel I need you to forgive him because I forgive him.
And if we don't, he's lost, and I can never move on.
You moved back here because of me, didn't you? I drove you out.
God, I'm so sorry, Grandad.
It wasn't your fault, love.
Yeah, but because of me you had to come back here, see the stupid nosy neighbours.
Hey, yeah, but look how brave you are - coming here, facing your demons.
Look, you know you've always been my favourite, but right now, I couldn't be prouder of you.
You are an inspiration to me, sweetheart.
And now I know exactly what I have to do.
(CLINK!) (WESTERN SOUNDTRACK MUSIC) Right! I know you're there and I know you can hear me.
So listen up! I'm fed up with everyone avoiding the issue.
I loved my wife.
She died.
And for some strange reason, wearing her clothes makes me feel a whole lot better.
So, there you have it.
But if you want to stay in your little houses, locked up like battery hens waiting to die, that's up to you.
But I'm not going to do that.
I'm going to take life by the throat and give it a good shake! And if anyone has a problem with that, they can go jump- Mavis, Dorothy.
Beautiful day, isn't it? So it's more like a viral campaign, but without the obvious starter points.
You picked this up through all that mess and noise online? What can I say.
I'm in touch with the youth, man.
Oh, well, in that case, I'll pick up my Zimmer frame on the way out, shall I'? (LAUGHS) Hey, George, I'm about to pop some coffee on.
You want one? Sure! Would it be a hassle if it's decaf? It's a hassle, isn't it? No.
I better come and help.
Knock yourself out, George.
JULIE: Well, so did Ronan like the idea? He loved it, and he's practically letting me handle the entire campaign on my own.
No, that's great! Good on you, darling.
Now, this is gorgeous.
Is it new'? I just wanted to buy myself something, you know.
No-one needs an excuse for retail therapy.
Oh, good.
Well, that should cover the guilt I had over buying the other two.
So are you in tonight? Uh, no, no.
I've got a meeting to get to.
What, work at this hour? No, no.
Just something I have to do.
What? Nothing.
It's lasagne.
You're eating it.
No excuses.
I called a dependency group.
There's a meeting tonight.
You're going and I'm coming with you.
Rachel, you don't have to do this.
You don't owe me anything.
We made a deal, remember? You get clean and I'll do everything I can to support you.
I remember.
Thank you.
Don't think any of this means I'm taking you back.
That's all over for us now.
Well, this is it, Dan.
Big second chance.
I know.
I'm not gonna stuff it up.
Right.
Well, we better eat this, then, before it gets cold.
We've got a meeting to get to.
Thank you, Jonah.
Hi.
My name's Daniel.
Um I'm here because I've done some things that I am gonna have to live with for the rest of my life.
Things that I will never forgive myself for.
But somebody I hurt, somebody I love, persuaded me that I deserve a second chance.
AndI'm gonna beat this.
Maybe you'll hate him.
Maybe you'll hate me.
But just hear me out.
OK? So, it all started at work.
Day one - my first job ever.
I was so excited.
MAN: She is, as yet, unsullied by the evils of the advertising world.
So tread gently, please.
I want her to make it through the year only slightly shopsoiled.
I bruise easily too, just for the record.
No marks, I promise.
Oi! Don't scare her off.
So I'll be needing someone to give her the grand tour of the office.
Talia, could you spare Sure.
Good.
Welcome.
Thanks.
Hi.
I'm Talia.
Hi.
Rachel.
Rachel.
Hi.
I apologise if I'm a little bit off this morning.
We had client drinks last night till 3:00 and I think I'm still smashed.
So if I suddenly walk into a wall, just ignore it.
Not a problem.
Tea and coffee room.
Very self-explanatory.
The milk frother's on the fritz, though, so just use cold.
So where were you last working? Actually, I'm just out of uni.
Oh, now, that I didn't pick.
Total newbie, huh? Mm-hm.
Well, you must be a bit of a gun, 'cause Ronan here hardly ever hires without experience.
The $50 I slipped him in the interview probably helped too.
Oh, yeah, he responds well to bribery.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Rachel, this is George.
George is a junior accounts executive, which means you only have to suck up to him 22% less than everyone else.
Ah.
Rachel, right? Yeah, hi.
Welcome to our humble abode.
Thanks.
Anything you want, my desk is always open.
Careful, he bites.
I do not! I really don't.
She's just making a little joke.
What? Hey, who's that'? So we'll get together on Tuesday, just so Oh, that's Daniel.
He's one of our art directors.
Pretty cute, huh? If you like that sort of thing.
Ooh! Ronan! Think we're in with a chance now.
OK, great.
Thanks.
See ya round.
Hey.
I'm Daniel.
Hello.
And this would be the bit where you would tell me your name.
Yeah, um, Rachel.
Madam, I see you've, uh, availed yourself of the bar offerings.
It's the only way to get through these things, I find.
Yeah, Chateau Cardboard, I presume.
There is always the promise of something stronger, however, if you can handle the salubrious surroundings of the photocopier room.
Best stuffs always hidden away in there.
But you have to promise not to tell George, 'cause he gets a bit prohibitionist about that kinda thing.
I promise.
Have you ever tried absinthe, Miss Rachel? No.
It will turn your night sideways.
Hi.
Morning.
God, I feel heinous.
Do you have a license to serve that stuff'? I did warn you it was potent.
Right, well, I'll have to remember to pay attention next time.
Here.
Wasn't sure how you took it.
Usually how it comes.
Thanks.
You're up early.
I'm up late, actually.
I couldn't sleep.
So you just sat there watching me all night? Pretty much.
Doesn't weird you out, does it? I don't know.
No.
But did you really just sit there all night? Yeah.
Well, you looked really pretty the way you were sleeping.
Just kind of felt like the right thing to do.
Hope it's OK.
No, it's lovely.
Well, thanks for letting me crash.
You're not in a hurry to go anywhere, are you? No.
Kind of thinking about giving you a kiss if that's quite alright.
Please do.
Cassie says hello to everyone.
Oh.
'Cassie'? What happened to Belinda? Ben! Ben, what's the matter? Can't keep up? (PHONE RINGS) Sorry, Mum.
Cass, hey.
Unbelievable! Is he bringing them round in alphabetical order or what? Oh, Nathan's just sowing his wild oats.
Yeah, with a year's worth of centrefold girls.
How is that fair? You'd get a nice girl yourself if you brushed your teeth more often.
Or opened my own Hooters restaurant.
Could you make yourself useful and get your mother a nice bottle of red, please? And as for you, Missy Mm-hm, there's a tone.
No.
No tone.
Just wondering where you've been all weekend.
I've been trying to call you since Friday.
Uh, stalky.
Uh, not stalky when it's your mother.
We have a God-given right to know where our children are at all times.
I don't remember getting any missed calls.
I left you three messages.
Three.
Yeah, not that you're counting or anything.
It's in my job description to worry, you know that.
I met someone.
Really? Someone special, by the look of that.
Someone very special.
Oh! Look at you! So that's where you've been all weekend.
He's got an apartment close to work so we've pretty much been hanging out there all weekend.
We haven't stopped talking, really.
He's brilliant, sexy, smart, funny --90I'geous_ Oh, darling, that's fantastic.
So when are we going to meet him? Soon, I hope.
Well, I want to know everything - name, rank, serial number.
Well, no, actually, you can leave out the X-rated details.
At least until I've had a few Pinots.
Alright, I'll save them.
OK.
Cheers.
RACHEL: And that was the thing - I was really happy.
I wanted Mum to know everything, because at the start he was a really beautiful person.
Someone you want to tell your mum about.
He still is that beautiful person somewhereinside.
No matter what he's done since.
Where was I'? So I've stayed at his house pretty much every night for the last month.
Toothbrush at his place? Yep.
Hair-dryer? Mm-hm.
This is getting serious.
That is so hot.
I am completely jealous.
But in a totally, totally supportive way.
Well, I guess we're going to have to come out soon, though.
I'd hate for someone to bust us before I had a chance to tell Ronan.
Yeah, who on earth would do that'? I don't know.
I'd just hate for it to affect things at work, you know'? People get funny about inter-office romances.
Yeah, on second thought, if it's got legs, you're better off getting it out in the open sooner rather than later.
And Ronan won't mind, I swear.
I hope not.
I love this job.
And Daniel? We'll see about that.
Has he met the olds yet'? Briefly, but tonight's a big first.
He's cooking them dinner.
What a suck.
At their place.
Total suck.
You ladies want anything from the noodle place? Rachel? No, I'm fine thanks, George.
Oi, do you want to know if I want anything from the noodle place, or were you busy tripping over your tongue'? Sorry, did you want something'? No, I'm fine, thank you.
Great.
Sorry.
(CRASH!) (LAUGHS) I'm fine.
Sorry.
Maybe if you did get it out in the open, poor George might be able to relax a bit.
RACHEL: Hello! Hello.
Hello.
For you.
Oh, Daniel, they're gorgeous.
Thank you.
Mwah! And for the man of the house You beauty.
Told the rep we had to sample the product before we'd even think about working with him.
Remind me again why I didn't get into advertising.
Hey, beautiful.
Hello, Dad.
Mwah! Nan, Grandad, this is Daniel.
Hey.
Pleased to meet you.
Likewise.
G'day.
I wish I had have known you guys were coming.
Um, one second Here we go - for you.
He can stay! Yes.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Right, Rachel, my raw ingredients, if you please.
Here you are, master chef.
This won't take too long.
Oh, now, is there anything I can do? Absolutely not.
Take a seat.
Relax.
Oh, he's very strict, isn't he? Yes, I am.
Now, where's my glamorous assistant? Here I am.
I was talking about your dad.
(LAUGHS) Just kidding.
He looks fit.
(LAUGHS) And he brings beer.
I reckon that one needs more sauce on it.
Yep.
(PHONE RINGS) Oh, timing! Could you get that for me? Yeah, sure.
Hello.
Daniel's phone.
Yeah, sure.
I'll just get him for you.
Hang on.
Someone called Jamie.
Oh, cool.
Jamie, hi.
No.
I'm not at home.
I can drop it round tomorrow.
Was it the jacket and them? Yeah, OK.
Yeah.
Yeah, no kidding? (LAUGHS) Alright.
Yeah, 'bye.
Who's Jamie? That's my ex.
Often call you up for a chat, does she? Sometimes.
Problem? Of course not.
Why would there be'? Some magnificent aromas coming from the kitchen.
I hope they live up to the hype.
No chance it won't, my friend.
Prepare to be dazzled.
So, uh, you still see your ex, then? Jamie.
Every now and then, I guess.
It must be pretty regularly if she's still got stuff at your place.
I cooked her dinner last week.
Really? Yeah.
We're still pretty close.
And did she stay over? Rachel A yes or no will do.
Yes.
Right.
(CLANKS DISHES) (SLAMS DISHES DOWN) Well, I guess that explains why you were busy the other night.
Rachel Any other exes you're hiding? I'm not hiding anything.
No'? And when were you going to tell me about this? What exactly does âstaying over" entail? Don't do this.
Don't do what? Play little games.
It doesn't suit you.
I'm not playing any little games.
I'm just asking a few simple questions.
Can you take the knife out of your hand before you ask the next one? So, what - are you sleeping with her? I didn't know the thing with you and me is supposed to be exclusive.
Is it? I don't know.
(SHARPLY) Is it? You're the one wanting the simple answers.
That's a yes or no.
Sorry for asking.
Are you two going to be much longer? It's a lovely night out.
And that was our first fight.
You were there.
The first big hint that something wasn't right.
I should have realised.
Run for the hills.
But I didn't.
You were falling in love.
Free-falling.
How long's that been going on for'? No idea.
I mean, we pretty much stopped talking after that.
I didn't want to fight.
Not at Mum and Dad's place.
Oh! But you're still into him, right? Of course.
I just Just not sure we need to be completely serious.
You know, we're both pretty young.
Who wants to be attached at this age? L do! You have been subscribing to 'Bridal Monthly' since you were 12.
Mm-hm.
You don't count.
So does this mean you and Daniel are going to see other people? Probably.
I mean, it seems like the best thing to do.
You know, just free us both up a bit.
That is completely wild.
Like who? I don't know.
Like other people in my social circle, I guess.
Morning.
I see.
I'd love to.
Let's book ahead so we get a table.
Righto, you.
Busy.
I don't care.
We're talking.
Nothing to talk about.
You are so adorable when you're being a goose.
I am not being a goose.
You are being the mother of all gooses.
Geese.
So, you admit it? Is this going somewhere? Fine.
You win.
I don't want to do this.
Do what? What do you want me to do, Rafter? Crawl on broken glass? Well, that would be a good start.
Hey you're the one for me and I am all yours if you'd be stupid enough to take me on as your ever-lovin' man.
Which, by the look on your face, I think you are.
Oh, I can be incredibly stupid when I want to be.
Lucky me.
(PHONE RINGS) GEORGE: (ON SPEAKER) So should I book a table for three? And that was it.
I was in.
My fate was sealed.
All this time, not the slightest hint about the drugs? Well, we partied a lot.
Drank all the time.
But nothing major.
MAN: OK, Katharine Hepburn.
Ah, 'The African Queen'.
'Bringing Up Baby'.
'Philadelphia Story'.
'Woman of the Year'.
'Adam's Rib'.
Uh (IMITATES GAME SHOW BUZZER) (LAUGHS) (GROANS) You're a nerd, you know that'? You are a sore loser.
WOMAN: Oh, vomit.
No PDA.
I'm already dying of envy.
To Cuba! Man after my own heart.
Rightio? Alright.
Salt.
There we go.
We all good? Rightio! Cheers, everybody! Rig htio.
Oh, he's making a speech.
Taxi! Rachel and I have a very important announcement we'd like to make.
As you can see, Rachel's imbibed a fair amount of hard liquor as usual this evening.
So needless to say, there will be no pitter-patter of tiny little feet.
Thank God.
Since Miss Rafter has invaded my personal space with so much of herjunk already, we've just decided to make it a permanent thing.
You're moving in'? Yeah.
Seriously? Lock, stock and entire wardrobe.
We need more tequila! Yeah! Whoo! Oh, can we go? I'm gonna need a chiro if I'm ever gonna walk again.
You have been saying that all day, and you barely lifted a thing.
I carried that whole chest of drawers! We wanted to help, didn't we, Ben? OK, good luck with it all.
Give us a call if you need anything.
We'll be fine.
Right.
'Bye, Dad.
'Bye, sweetheart.
It's the going-off-to-war goodbye again.
Give it a rest, would you? 'Bye.
(DOOR CLOSES) Ta-da! Well handled, sweetheart.
Oh, I thought they'd never leave.
Shall we'? Just a second.
Hold that pose.
No, come on.
Don't.
I don't have any lipstick on.
I don't care.
What, you wanna record this historic moment now'? Yep.
First bottle of fizz popped in our new place.
Give me a pose.
(CAMERA CLICKS) (CAMERA CLICKS) We did it! Yeah! Yeah! Baby, your world awaits.
Ahh! Welcome to your new life.
I am so lucky I met you.
Correct.
(BOTH LAUGH) You and me, Rafter.
We are gonna have so much fun.
Get smashed! Yeah! RACH EL: For one brief moment, everything was perfect.
So I'm thinking we really need to push the online element of this.
So I was thinking of doing a mock layout.
Rachel? Yeah.
Did you wanna look into that'? Sure, I can get online.
OK.
Don't get too excited about it.
I think we should look at working with Bebo.
Layout's simple and accessible to the audience we're after, and the membership is skyrocketing.
Did you want me to run off some prints? Yes, that would be fantastic, Daniel.
Thank you.
How do you do it? What? Ugh.
I feel like death after last night.
Shouldn't have had that last bottle.
I can still taste it.
Do I have those horrible purple lines around my mouth'? Come on, chicken.
Crash or crash through.
I'm starting to think that crash might be the only option.
(CHUCKLES) That, or puke on the desk.
Are you ready to get back into it? Yep.
Look, I actually think I need to go home.
I'm not feeling very well.
I think I ate something bad.
What, like a bad shiraz? I'm ready when you are.
JULIE: Darling, are you sure you're alright? Oh, Mum, I'm fine.
I knew we were coming over for dinner, so I thought I'd leave work early.
Oh, we should all be so lucky.
(DOOR CLOSES) DANIEL: Hello? Oh! Front door was open.
Hello.
How's the slacker? I'm having a mental health afternoon.
(CH UCKLES) Is that fish and chips? Nothing like fried potato in beer batter to help you feel better.
There's enough for everybody there.
I love you.
I don't have to cook! Thank God, you brought wine.
I've tried everything else to take this headache away.
You are a shameless pleasure-seeker, Rafter, you know that'? It is purely for medicinal purposes.
I may perish without it.
Oh, we can't have that.
Doctor's orders.
RACHEL: I know, I know.
Drinking away a hangover.
Never a good thing.
But that was the least of my problems.
The next morning I found out how Daniel bounced back so easily from the latest binge.
Close the door.
What the hell are you doing? I knew you'd make a big deal out of this.
A big deal?! You are doing drugs in my parents' house! It's totally minor.
It's just to get me through the morning.
Keep your voice down and close the door.
What if my mum catches you?! She won't if you stop yelling and close the door.
How's your head? Terrible.
RACH EL: It was pathetic.
Where he led, I followed.
And then we came through with the kick-up.
A local band, someone from the pub scene.
Somebody nobody knows just yet but going places.
You know, put the feelers out with the record companies.
They're really keen to get on board, they're frothing on it.
And then we just push further.
You know, gigs, one-off events - wherever the band goes, the brand goes.
Good.
Good work.
Feeling better today'? Yeah, absolutely.
RACHEL: What was more pathetic was how it totally took over our whole lives.
Well, his, anyway.
Oh, not tonight.
Come on, babe.
You don't need it.
I'll be the judge of that.
It's their anniversary.
(FLICKS LIGHTER) Precisely.
Thanks for this.
You'll PaV- You're sweating.
I'm fine.
Hello, Daniel.
Thanks for coming.
You feeling alright? He's fine.
I ate too much.
Unlike Daniel.
Mum, he's not a big eater.
You know that.
You might not have drunk as much as old Thomas the Tank Engine here, but you've still had a few.
We're all gonna take a cab.
Alright, cab's fine.
We'll get a cab, pick up the car in the morning.
Do they ever let up? RACH EL: But even after that dinner, I didn't twig.
And then things got so ugly, so fast.
DANIEL: Oh, what are you talking about? The guy knew I was joking.
He did not.
Rachel, he's a cab driver! It's not like he's not used to having people No, no.
You were just being rude for no good reason.
And you sounded like a complete jerk.
And you were acting like a complete slag, flirting with him.
What?! I was not flirting with him! You were certainly laughing at all his jokes, making that stupid noise.
What noise? That (SNORTS LIKE A PIG) Sounds like a bush pig stuck in a mud pit.
Jesus, you are so aggro on ice! It's unbearable.
And people are starting to notice.
Oh, no-one's noticing.
Yes, they are! Mum saw you weren't eating dinner.
They had to pay for that! So this is about money, then! Here.
You know what? I don't wanna have this conversation.
You're the one who started it! You're the one who wanted to Stop it, Daniel! I'm not doing anything! I don't even recognise you when you're like this! Rachel, get! (GROWLS) The next night, the same thing.
Only this time he broke the door down and hit me.
DANIEL: (BANGS ON DOOR) Open the door! (THUD! THUD!) No, Dan.
Please, no! TED: There's no need to tell me any more.
Please, Grandad! That's the night I moved home, thinking it would end it.
But, uh there's something evil about that drug.
Something obsessive and destructive which is why Daniel emailed the video.
Hey, hey, stop.
Now, that's enough.
I know you saw it, Grandad.
There's some things that don't need to be discussed, Rachel.
But they do! That's why I'm here.
Look, I know Daniel sent it to the home email.
Is that Hey, hey! I got rid of it.
Your mum and dad never saw it.
Thank you.
Oh, thank God.
And don't worry - I stopped it as soon as I realised.
(WHISPERS) Grandad Nathan, stop hogging the cornflakes! I'm not hogging them! Yes, you are! You're being a complete pig! Mum, tell him he's being a pig! Oh, what are you two? 12'? Fight your own battles.
There won't be any left! There will be! Will you guys shut up? I'm trying to listen to the news.
Oh, and you finished the milk! Can I borrow some milk? We're out.
Nathan finished it.
Oh, you pig! There's some UHT in the cupboard.
UHT tastes like clag.
Would you all just shut up, please?! Dad! The kettle's just boiled, if you'd like a cuppa before your walk.
No, I'm fine.
Hi, Grandad.
RACHEL: This morning, I knew there was something wrong.
I didn't know what but you wouldn't look at me.
Dad, you alright? What are you doing? Following me? What's going on? Nothing.
Can't a man go for his daily walk without the third degree? Has something happened to you? The doctor said to take it easy! Nothing happened.
I'm fine.
Just go home, Julie.
No, you're not fine.
You barely said hello in there.
You ignored Rachel.
I thought things were good now.
They are.
Well, they will be.
Just give me some space, alright? Well, if you need to talk, or (SIGHS) .
.
something.
You right, Grandad? You've been a bit quiet the last few days.
Hey, look, I've got a bit of an announcement to make, if you could just shut up for five seconds.
I really appreciate the way you've looked after me here, but there's only so long I can spend cluttering up the back bedroom with all myjunk.
So I'm moving back to the townhouse.
Effective immediately.
RACH EL: I knew you leaving home had something to do with me.
But! couldn't deal with it, so I threw myself into work.
You are looking at the goddess of design.
Ask me - are the new clients in the bag'? Yes.
Yes, they are.
I take it that you haven't heard about Daniel? What about him? Ronan fired him this morning when you were out with those clients.
Seriously? Mm-hm.
I wanted to tell you before the, umgossip started.
Uh, thanks, but why'? Daniel's not a part of my life anymore.
You know that.
Yeah, but he was.
And just because you broke up doesn't stop it from being sad.
I mean, the way he is now He's just so different.
It's like the Daniel we know is Gone.
Yeah.
Well, it's a shame he lost his job, but unfortunately that's just what happens when you don't turn up to work.
Oh, OK.
Says the girl who used to turn up to work hung-over or worse.
I haven't done that for a while, have I'? Anyway, why are you defending him? You know what he did.
I'm not.
I'm on Team Rachel all the way.
I'm not denying that you're better off without him.
It's just that I don't wanna do a victory dance just because he's made a mess of his life.
He brought this on himself.
Yeah, but he's a good guy underneath it all.
I just hope he gets some help, that's all.
Truce? (KNOCK AT DOOR) So there is something wrong.
You sure moving out's the answer? Nothing's wrong, I told you.
I just think it's time.
Dad, you know we're really happy having you here.
Yeah, I know, and I'm grateful for it.
But the townhouse is just sitting there.
There's no-one in it.
And now seems as good a time as any.
Hey, look, don't think I'm not grateful.
But it's just time this grumpy old bugger moved on.
Are you sure it's not something that we've done? Course not.
(SIGHS) It's just my life.
And it's sitting there, waiting for me to live it.
And I'm in a good head space right now, you know'? Any fitter, I'd be well.
And this place is bursting at the seams.
There's no room.
Dad, there's always room for you.
I know.
But I've made up my mind.
Hey, the curse of the fourth bedroom! First I bail.
Six weeks later, you do.
Need a hand? No, thanks, mate.
Any dresses you need picking up from the drycleaneï¬s? What? Ben! Out! Out! Who cares what people think? I'll see how the dryer's coming along.
Mmm.
Grandad? Yeah? I wish you wouldn't go.
Gotten used to having you around.
Oh, time to move on.
Grandad, you're not upset with any of us, are you? With me? Course not.
Well, I'd better get back to it.
RACH EL: That was it.
The light bulb moment.
You must have seen the video.
I felt so sick.
What do you mean, you're too busy to help your grandad move home? No, look, Mum, I've got something on, OK'? This is a transitional time, Rachel.
Ben's coming.
Well, good.
That'll be two of you, then.
Grandad'll be fine.
It'll take an hour.
Mum, I really have to go.
Where? (HEAVY KNOCKING ON DOOR) RACHEL: Daniel! Open the door! My grandad knows about the video.
How does he know'? Did you tell him? Rach.
Did you send it to him? No, I would never do that.
Can you just give me Wait! Just wait! What are you doing? Why didn't you check who you sent it to? The decent thing.
Why do you never do the decent thing?! I wanted to.
I was Oh, don't tell me.
You were just too high.
Rachel, please.
Can you'? You sent it to my parents' house.
I'm sorry.
It wasn't me.
You know that.
It's the drugs.
Come on, this isn't my fault.
You know exactly what you were doing on ice.
I remember.
You wanted to hurt me.
No.
I was angry.
You left me and it hurt, and I was really high.
What the hell are you doing? I just need one hit.
That's all.
Please, come on.
I need it.
You disgust me.
All that crap about doing NA.
Rachel, what are you'? (YELLS) It is bad enough that I'm going to have to live the rest of my life with that video out there.
But do you wanna know the worst thing? You deliberately tried to destroy my family.
So go on, keep taking your stupid drug.
You can't get any lower.
Hey! Rachel, wait.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Please stop.
(SOBS) What happened to me? I'm gonna I've got nothing left! I've got nothing left.
Don't leave me now.
I'm sick.
I need help! Please Well, the garden doesn't look too bad, Dad.
Ben, cut it out.
Stupid busybodies.
Oh, they're just copping an eyeful, that's all.
I wouldn't worry about it.
They'll get sick of it pretty quick.
Worry about a few nosy parkers? Hardly.
OK.
Let's get some curtains open, let some fresh air in.
Oh, thanks, Ben.
I'll get the ones in the kitchen.
No, no, no.
Leave it.
I'll take care of it.
No, Dad.
We don't mind.
No, I'll do it myself.
It's always good to get your hands a bit dirty.
You sure? Yeah, I'm sure.
Sure.
Well, we could stay for a cup of tea.
Great.
No, no.
You two head home.
I'll give you a call later.
Well, just don't stand there like a couple of dills.
Get 90in!!- OK.
You'll call me later? Yeah.
Don't let them get to you, Grandad.
Show them who's boss, eh? (WHISPERS) lwondered when we'd see him back here.
(WHISPERS) I hope he's left his dresses at the hospital.
TED: Lovely evening.
(PHONE RINGS) Hello.
Oh, hi, Dad.
It's me.
Uh, can you hang on a sec? Guys, do you have to watch that now'? Yeah, it's for work.
How can a garden reno show be Oh, doesn't matter.
Never mind.
Sorry, Dad.
How are you settling in'? Oh, fine.
Fine, love.
Right.
Caught up with any old friends yet'? Oh, I'll get around to it.
Well, maybe you could, you know, invite someone over for a glass of wine or something.
Look, love, I know how to socialise.
It was just a suggestion.
(SIGHS) I'll take it on board.
Now, are you gonna let a man get some peace and quiet? Sure.
Um, I'll call you tomorrow, OK'? Wight, love.
'Night.
(SIGHS) (DOORBELL RINGS) Hi, Grandad.
So that's my story.
I guess I wanted you to remember Daniel the way he was.
Try to understand why he did it.
Nothing that you've told me excuses what he did.
No-one forces you to drink.
No-one forces you to take drugs.
Well, what about me, Grandad? Can you forgive me? Of course.
But I was just like him.
I got drunk.
I took drugs.
I knew he was filming me.
I wish it had never been made.
I wish you'd never seen it.
Maybe things will never be the same between us.
But sometimes the only way through is to talk.
You know, just say it like it is.
Yes, Daniel is an ice addict.
But that means he's sick.
He needs help.
No matter what he's done.
Rachel I need you to forgive him because I forgive him.
And if we don't, he's lost, and I can never move on.
You moved back here because of me, didn't you? I drove you out.
God, I'm so sorry, Grandad.
It wasn't your fault, love.
Yeah, but because of me you had to come back here, see the stupid nosy neighbours.
Hey, yeah, but look how brave you are - coming here, facing your demons.
Look, you know you've always been my favourite, but right now, I couldn't be prouder of you.
You are an inspiration to me, sweetheart.
And now I know exactly what I have to do.
(CLINK!) (WESTERN SOUNDTRACK MUSIC) Right! I know you're there and I know you can hear me.
So listen up! I'm fed up with everyone avoiding the issue.
I loved my wife.
She died.
And for some strange reason, wearing her clothes makes me feel a whole lot better.
So, there you have it.
But if you want to stay in your little houses, locked up like battery hens waiting to die, that's up to you.
But I'm not going to do that.
I'm going to take life by the throat and give it a good shake! And if anyone has a problem with that, they can go jump- Mavis, Dorothy.
Beautiful day, isn't it? So it's more like a viral campaign, but without the obvious starter points.
You picked this up through all that mess and noise online? What can I say.
I'm in touch with the youth, man.
Oh, well, in that case, I'll pick up my Zimmer frame on the way out, shall I'? (LAUGHS) Hey, George, I'm about to pop some coffee on.
You want one? Sure! Would it be a hassle if it's decaf? It's a hassle, isn't it? No.
I better come and help.
Knock yourself out, George.
JULIE: Well, so did Ronan like the idea? He loved it, and he's practically letting me handle the entire campaign on my own.
No, that's great! Good on you, darling.
Now, this is gorgeous.
Is it new'? I just wanted to buy myself something, you know.
No-one needs an excuse for retail therapy.
Oh, good.
Well, that should cover the guilt I had over buying the other two.
So are you in tonight? Uh, no, no.
I've got a meeting to get to.
What, work at this hour? No, no.
Just something I have to do.
What? Nothing.
It's lasagne.
You're eating it.
No excuses.
I called a dependency group.
There's a meeting tonight.
You're going and I'm coming with you.
Rachel, you don't have to do this.
You don't owe me anything.
We made a deal, remember? You get clean and I'll do everything I can to support you.
I remember.
Thank you.
Don't think any of this means I'm taking you back.
That's all over for us now.
Well, this is it, Dan.
Big second chance.
I know.
I'm not gonna stuff it up.
Right.
Well, we better eat this, then, before it gets cold.
We've got a meeting to get to.
Thank you, Jonah.
Hi.
My name's Daniel.
Um I'm here because I've done some things that I am gonna have to live with for the rest of my life.
Things that I will never forgive myself for.
But somebody I hurt, somebody I love, persuaded me that I deserve a second chance.
AndI'm gonna beat this.
