Episode 7
1 How could you throw yourself at him? - I didn't mean to hurt you.
- Well, you did.
Charlotte's a force.
So, she threw you down and you were just helpless to resist? Things with Kyle have been bad for a very long time.
And to my vice-president, Sarah.
She persuaded her husband to give us this beautiful restaurant.
It was nothing.
It was nothing.
It was my pleasure.
WOMAN: It's the chef that got arrested, Anton.
WOMAN: My god! The cops knew about the affair.
They're saying that she was strangled before she fell.
You know, they should be looking at her husband.
- What, Kyle? - Yeah, Kyle.
Something has to change.
There are people here who care about you.
Whatever way I keep looking at it, there's this truth just staring me in the face.
Anton must have killed Charlotte.
I wanted to thank you for your kindness and for your advice.
Did I convince you to stay? - Ah, here she is.
- Anton made bail.
Surprise.
How you feel about me now? Tell her that she needs to have faith, literally.
- Faith the cop? - Yeah.
The hot lesbo cop.
She needs to get over her ex.
Yeah, I say go for it.
You're meant to be on my side.
The shrivelled-up prune side? The tragic side, babe? Oh, you're here.
Finally.
Hey.
What time do you call this? Oh, my god.
Well, I'm glad to see the place is still standing.
So, who wants a drink? - Uh, me.
- Uh, yeah, yeah.
- [WOMEN LAUGH.]
- You pacify me, feed my doubt How you feel about me now? - Hey! - Alright.
Thank you.
Now, I know that you have each been a big support to Sarah and I wanted to say thank you.
Thanks.
- And to you, young lady - Mmm? .

for keeping this place going.
- Yes - Well, I actually helped.
Helping is her vocation.
A toast.
To new beginnings.

[SIGHS.]
Oh [HALF-LAUGHS.]
Look, I know we agreed to take things slowly but, damn, you are so beautiful.
Um I have to get the kids to school, so - I said I'd take them.
- Yeah, but you can't.
The cops are tracking you with that thing.
The school's in the zone.
It's the same as the restaurant.
It's fine.
I'm not gonna skulk around like I'm guilty.
Yeah, but we have to be sensitive, OK? You know Xavier's been bullied because of this entire thing? Too much too soon.
Yeah.
Fair call.
Just [EXHALES.]
Alright.
Come on, guys.
But why can't Dad take us? Well, he just has stuff to do, sweetie.
You got your soccer ball? Yes, Mum.
Uh, Evie, hurry up, please.
Can Dad come to soccer? Um Oh, my god.
Um, just wait here, OK? - Kyle - Victim Support called.
Said my wife's killer's out on bail.
- I don't understand.
- Just not here, please.
- You gotta be kidding.
Is he inside? - Can we just not - How can you even - Sh Please.
I will call you.
We will talk, I promise.
But just not now.
Please.
Alright.
So, how was it? Big night? - You have a one-track mind.
- [GIGGLES.]
But just for the record.
I'd just rather not talk about it.
We're just taking things slowly.
Better than not at all.
- Fair enough.
- [PHONE BEEPS.]
Oh, the results are in.
The lottery? No, the, uh The DNA results.
London's father.
I'm gonna go and talk to Sam about it, so I'll see you guys.
See you.
Never a dull moment.
Well, I better go and apply for more jobs I won't get.
Bye.
So, how's it going really? Look [SIGHS.]
Anton's just being so positive.
It's like we're in some fairytale.
And Kyle just came over.
It was just all I could do to just keep him away from the house.
Does Anton know about you and Kyle? There's, like, not much to know.
[LAUGHS.]
Oh, come on.
Oh, honey, if you can't tell your friends Yes.
OK.
Yes.
Yes, we've gotten close.
Look, I'm I'm not gonna say anything to Anton.
It just feels like you're playing with fire.
Yeah, I know.
I'll handle it.
- Am I really doing the right thing? - Yes.
Come on.
Look, London has a right to know who her father is.
Yeah, but she can find out when she's, like, 20.
- [LAUGHS.]
Yes - Yeah? Oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
- Is that him? - Yes.
We can still run away.
- Can we talk? - Look, I've got to be somewhere, OK? JJ, you're London's biological father.
It's official.
- I don't think so.
- Uh, DNA doesn't lie.
What DNA? I never gave you any.
- You didn't? - Ok, look, I stole your glass and I got it tested and it's you.
You can't prove it was my DNA on a glass.
It could be anyone.
Hey, she can get a court order, so you might as well accept it.
- I don't wanna be anyone's dad.
- Alright.
Well, she's not just anyone.
And this is stupid.
Let's go, Sam.
You know what, mate? London's a great kid.
She's the best.
But you'll never know that and that's a good thing.
'Cause, I mean, let's face it, she's a lot better off without you and, you don't deserve to be her dad.
Bozo.
Bozo? Yeah.
You heard me.
Hurry up.
- Are you OK? - Yes.
I'm fine.
- Get off me! - What? You're so weird.
SARAH: Hi.
Were you gonna talk to me about this if I didn't come around? Well, it's not as if I had much notice, OK? What? Will you stop doing that and look at me, please? Anton was bailed to our address.
It is his home.
- What was I supposed to do? - I don't know.
- Leave.
You were prepared to.
- What, I'm supposed to kick him out? You've got to make decisions without Anton.
We didn't make any promises.
That was before we kissed.
I have to do what's best for my kids - and I just don't need pressure - [PHONE BEEPS.]
from you or from Anton or from anyone, OK? Just tell me this Do you still think he's guilty? Hey.
- Hello, boss.
Here she is.
- Hey.
What's up? Anton's bringing back the long lunch.
Like, tomorrow.
Oh.
It's just something we used to do a lot around here.
Try out some new dishes, invite friends, regulars.
What, is there a problem? Things are really great, you know.
Bookings are good.
Why rock the boat? The place is called Anton's.
I'm sorry, that's I'm sorry.
[GROANS.]
Sarah wants me to keep my head down as well.
She seems distant.
She's kind of changed somehow.
I think she's probably just getting used to you being home.
Yeah.
You know what, the lunch sounds great.
Let's do it.
We'll make an event out of it, create some buzz.
- Alright, boss.
- Mmm.
I know it's technically cheating but most of the guys on active duty do it, you know, having a pre-medical before the actual one.
All good there? Well, there's an arrhythmia.
There's a concern, and It might be nothing but I would like you to see a cardiologist.
Well that's not gonna fly, Doc.
Why not? Well, if it goes on my record, I'm gonna fail my medical.
OK.
But we can't ignore this, Tom.
Well, why don't you just give me something? It doesn't work that way.
Look, the sooner you get this looked at, the sooner we'll know, OK? Righto.
Well, thanks for the advice, Doc.
I'll take it on board.
Cheers.
Good.
Alright, a couple more.
- Bindy.
Hey - Can't hear you.
And off you go.
Perfect.
Oh Look, I got a shock, alright? That stuff your boyfriend said, it made me feel like a bit of a dick.
And maybe I should meet my daughter.
- London.
- Yeah.
If she's anything like her mother, she'll be amazing.
JJ, there's no point in meeting her if you don't want to be involved.
I do.
Absolutely.
And why should I believe you now? Well, I'm here, aren't I? Look, why don't you bring her out to mine tomorrow, and we'll see how it goes.
I swear to god, if your room-mates - are druggies or into any of that - I don't have room-mates.
I don't do that shit anymore.
Really? It really is good to see you.
- What do you think? - Yeah, I like that one.
- That one? - We could call it Milo or something.
- Milo? - Yeah.
Mummy, we're getting a puppy.
- Oh.
Really? - Yeah.
Come and have a look.
- Come and have a look at Milo.
- Milo, huh? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
OK.
Daddy, can we talk about something for a minute? In fact, I've got something to show you.
- I was calling.
I've been texting.
- Uh, yeah, sorry, I was busy.
Hey, look, Anton, this puppy thing, you know, it's a lovely idea but who's gonna look after it? - And this long lunch? - What about it? Well, it's Honestly, it's a slap in the face for people who cared about Charlotte.
Only to those who think I did it.
This is what I wanted to show you.
My lawyer found new evidence and it is proof, Sarah, it is proof that I didn't kill Charlotte.
Fine.
Don't take my word for it.
See for yourself.
I always said I left Charlotte alive and well at 12:30.
I went to a petrol station, 12:40.
I was heading away from her house and this, this photo proves this.
Yeah, but it doesn't prove that you didn't turn around and just go back to Charlotte's house.
But I didn't.
I - Charlotte was found at 2pm.
- Yes That leaves almost an hour and a half for someone else to go into that house and do it.
Yeah, I agree with you.
But it's not proof.
All the evidence in the world doesn't mean a thing if you don't believe me.
I [SIGHS.]
So, do I take London to see JJ tomorrow or not? Uh, the guy seemed a bit dodge.
Yeah, but he said he was sorry.
And I don't know, he seems kind of cool.
What about Anton's lunch? Yeah, I should be back in time.
So, wait, you ARE gonna see JJ? Yeah.
Hey, it's for London, like you said.
OK.
And you could totally take a date to lunch, couldn't you? - [LAUGHS.]
- Here, pass me your phone.
Hey.
[RINGING TONE.]
- It's for you.
- Oooh.
- It's Faith.
- Bindy! [LAUGHS.]
God.
Hi, uh, Faith.
- [LAUGHS.]
- It's, um, Maddie Hicks.
[LAUGHS.]
Yeah, we have a mutual friend, Sam.
- Um - You are so bad.
Yeah, but it's for her own good.
Hey, so, are you sure about JJ? I mean, if he's still a criminal, you and London might be in danger.
No, it's fine.
He says he doesn't do that stuff anymore.
- You believe him? - Yeah.
I mean, I can handle him.
It's all good.
What did she say? Hot date? We're on.
Oh, my god! That's good! You're finally gonna get laid.
Shit.
Hmm.
Well, that's enough.
Lights out.
What if you have to go back to prison? Well, that's not gonna happen.
Yeah, but what if it does? You know that I love you more than anything in the world.
You know that, right? And Mum and Eve? And them too.
Goodnight, buddy.

[DOOR CLOSES.]
[DOOR OPENS.]
Hey.
I might hit the sack.
It's been a big day.
So, listen, I know you don't want me to put on this lunch, but I believe you.
I know you didn't do it.
I never, ever meant to catch you in a lie You never, ever You never, ever had the heart to say goodbye With my phone turned off it makes no sound But you said you needed space 'Cause your phone's turned off I'll come around 'Cause I just need to say I swear I never, ever but that's just what you do When you love somebody Love someone I could try to make it better but that's just how it is When you hurt somebody Love someone I like you better from afar I think we're better off apart [ON VOICEMAIL.]

I'm Jack.
Nice to meet you.
I'm London.
Nice to meet you too, London.
Guess what.
Happy birthday.
It's not my birthday.
Yeah, but you're six, right? I've missed out on the rest of your birthdays, so I figured let's have them all today, eh? [LAUGHS.]
Go on.
It's so thoughtful.
You didn't have to do that.
It's the least I could do.
[HALF-LAUGHS.]
So, is this place really yours? - All mine.
- It's amazing.
One thing hasn't changed, Bindy, you're still the hottest chick that I know.
Oh, my god.
You're so cocky.
[LAUGHS.]
Stop! [LAUGHS.]
Mummy, Mummy, look.
Oh, look at that.
A nice little hairbrush.
Hey Let's see what else is there.
- [DOG BARKS.]
- [BIKE BELL RINGS.]
It's nice of you to invite me.
To be honest, Bindy was pressuring me and [LAUGHS.]
- Sam's girlfriend? - Yeah.
A small but unstoppable juggernaut.
But I'm glad she did.
Yeah.
Me too.
I hope I'm not underdressed.
No, no.
You look sensational.
[LAUGHS.]
- [LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION.]
- [POP MUSIC PLAYS.]
- Hey, it's a good turnout.
- Yeah, it's great.
Thanks to you.
Well done.

Here he is, the man of the moment.
Thanks for coming.
I've got a beer with your name on it.
I have a mocktail with yours.
Mwah.
I have to keep in with my sponsor.
- And don't you forget it.
- Thank you.
Thank you so much.

Thank you.
Alright, alright, alright.
Stop distracting my chef.
- Get in there.
- Um Help yourself to a drink.
Thanks.
- Hey, Dad? - Yep.
Do you know about this? 'Chef Anton, from the fire back to the frying pan'.
It's like he's famous.
How can that be fair? Its not It's not fair at all, Jules.
Go tell your sister lunch is ready, mate.
SAM: Bindy.
Hey, it's me.
- It would be good if you answered.
- [KNOCK AT DOOR.]
Uh, still waiting to hear if you want to go to this lunch.
Call me.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Is Maddie in? Uh, she had a lunch to go to.
Can I give her a message? Oh, no.
I just wanted to sound her out about something.
It can wait, I suppose.
[HALF-LAUGHS.]
Uh, do you want a beer? Oh, yeah.
I'll grab a beer.
Yeah.
- Cheers.
- That's alright.
BINDY: [LAUGHS.]
Cheers.
[POP MUSIC PLAYS FAINTLY.]
- So? It's good, eh? - [LAUGHS.]
So are you gonna tell me the truth? You must've done a lot of shit to buy this house, right? I told you, I don't do that anymore.
Look, I got into IT.
I'm doing OK.
Wow.
You're doing way better than me.
You're doing great.
And London, what a cool little kid.
She is loving it.
[LAUGHS.]
- Yeah.
- [LAUGHS.]
When I first met her, I thought she was the one.
Famous last words, right? So, we've both had our hearts broken.
Well, personally, I've got nothing against a good rebound.
[LAUGHS.]
Don't mind us, Mr Jesic.
Hey.
Just good to see you enjoying yourself.
Yeah.
Makes a change, doesn't it? [CHUCKLES.]
Well, my darling heart, we did it.
We got Anton back where he belongs.
I'm not sure about 'we' and I'm not your darling heart.
[LAUGHS.]
I'm gonna go siphon the python, so don't have fun without me.
- [LAUGHS.]
- Well, we'll try not to.
Oh, my gosh.
He never gives up, does he? Oh, it's probably his only good quality, tenacity.
- Mmm.
- And you've got it too.
I admire you for staying in for the kids.
- I'm proud of you.
- Thanks, Mum.
[TAPPING.]
Hello, everyone.
Can I have your attention, please, for just a moment? Uh, the proprietor, and our head chef Anton would like to say a few words.
- [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.]
- Thank you.
Thank you, everybody.
Um, listen, I won't keep you long.
We have plenty more food and drink still to come.
I did just want to say a couple of things.
I've had a lot of time to think recently [LAUGHS.]
.
.
and, uh, you all being here today, it means the world to me.
It really does.
Um But I particularly wanted to thank my wife Sarah.
[APPLAUSE.]
You are a goddess.
You are the most amazing mother to our children.
I'm the luckiest man in the world.
- [APPLAUSE.]
- Come up here.
Come up here.
Yes.
Whoo! [LAUGHS.]
Beautiful.
Beautiful! Beautiful.
[APPLAUDS.]
Lucky man, alright.
- Listen, mate - I'm not your mate, you murderer.
He's going away for a very long time, ladies and gentlemen, so enjoy the food - Alright, enough! Enough! - You want to have a go? First one's for free.
Better make it a good one.
If I take a swing at you, I'll go back.
I'll break my bail.
I'm not doing it.
No.
Get out of my restaurant.
I mean it.
Get out.
[EXHALES.]
Please.
After everything how can you even be here? OK, everyone, the floor show's over.
[LAUGHS AWKWARDLY.]
Um, there's plenty more food and wine, so eat, drink, be merry.
Yeah.
Listen to this.
"Soz missed your call.
In pool.
Amazing.
" And, uh, a whole bunch of emojis that don't make any sense.
I mean, how does a guy my age get so rich? Unless he's still a criminal.
If you're so worried about her, why don't you just go and get her? Well, I was the one who suggested she find out who London's dad was in the first place.
- Irony, eh? - Yep.
It's a bummer.
Hey, uh, you want another? Oh, I probably shouldn't.
- Go on.
- Oh Alright.
- Whoo! - [LAUGHS.]
- So, I had my medical.
- Yeah? Yeah, you know, the annual circus.
- All good? - Yeah.
Yeah Yeah, I know a bloke who knows a bloke who's got a bit of a dodgy ticker.
Got a friend of his to get him some pills, beta-blockers, helped him get through it.
[CLICKS TONGUE.]
Doesn't sound ideal.
Well, it's alright for you young fellas.
You just breeze through your physicals.
So, what are you gonna do about Bindy and this bloke? Oh, I don't know.
I mean, I could access the police database, see if he's still on our radar.
You might want to be careful doing that.
[FAITH LAUGHS.]
I mean, the food was tasty, but all those little plates Hey.
- G'day.
- Hello, boys.
Senior.
Having a bit of a sesh? Yeah, just finishing up, actually.
- Thanks for the beers.
- Uh Ah.
Yeah.
Uh, me too.
Um, bye.
Scared off by the lesbians.
As they should be.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYS.]
FAITH: Mmm.
You're spoiling me.
Well You're amazing.
Hmm.
And, um, it's been a while.
[LAUGHS.]
Where's your son today? Um, Max is with Jesse this weekend.
Mmm.
The evil ex.
Yeah.
We had a really bad time over custody.
- But we're working through it.
- [LAUGHS.]
I so know the feeling.
Monique She drives me crazy.
You know, one minute she says she loves me and the next, she's off with some airhead from her office.
I get it.
Jesse is getting married.
- Whoa.
- Yeah.
That's big.
Maddie I'm sorry if it seems like I used you.
- I'm happy to be used.
- [LAUGHS.]
[LAUGHS.]
[DOOR CLOSES.]
Where are the kids, Sarah? Oh, they're building a fort upstairs, to keep the monsters out.
Look, before you say anything, nothing's happened with Kyle.
- I saw the way he looked at you.
- [SCOFFS.]
There's something going on.
Well, I just understand what he's going through.
You know, just like, he understands about your affair with his wife.
You know, living with the fallout, the court case, dealing with the cops, the impact on the kids.
It kind of goes on and on.
So, what, you and Kyle were a - a cosy little support group, were you? - What? No, we were nothing like that at all.
Lucy and Xavier are friends, OK? I didn't think it was fair to punish them because of something that you've done.
So, you're using Xavier as an excuse, huh? I do not have to make excuses for any of this! Nothing happened.
Well, but it could, right? Yes, I lied to you.
I lied to you.
But ever since, I've been nothing but upfront and all I want, more than anything in the world, is my family back.
- I want you and I want - But I'm here! I'm here.
Sarah [KEYS JINGLE.]
[DOOR CLICKS SHUT.]
- Hey.
- Day off.
I know.
I just wanted to catch up on a couple of things.
- Hey, is London OK? - Yeah, she's good.
She's just having a nap.
She's exhausted from today.
[LAUGHS.]
- You're so - Hot? Yep.
You keep saying that.
[LAUGHS.]
What's stopping us? [KISS.]
JJ, sorry, I I was thinking about what would've happened if I'd have told you that I was pregnant back then and you just said, "Wow.
" Like, "Let's do it, let's try and be a family," you know, and we live in this house together and we have this awesome life.
I don't know, London would probably go to some private school and and have, like, a pony or something.
- Totally.
- No, no, no What would you have actually said back then, if I'd have told you? I don't know.
No, you would've told me to have an abortion.
No.
Don't be a buzzkill No, I'm not.
I'm just being real.
I'm sorry, I just [SNIFFS.]
This has been really nice.
But I've got a boyfriend, OK, and I'm happy.
S-sorry.
Bindy, wait.
What? I'm not gonna sleep with you, JJ! I know.
I get it.
[SIGHS.]
What? Can you just sign something first? [SIGHS.]
Just something my lawyer wanted about you not having any claim on my earnings - in the last six years.
- Are you kidding me? I just want to make things clear.
- Yeah, I totally - Great.
- totally - Oh! Just to be clear, that's a no.
Come on, babe.
We've got to go.

What happened? Anton wasn't very happy about Kyle ruining his comeback.
I'm so sorry.

No, you're exactly where you need to be.
Screw guys, anyway.
Except Sam.
We love Sam.
Here we go.
I just I feel bad still.
I mean, I left the kids and it's bedtime.
Oh, whatever.
You know what, you're a bad mother.
We get it.
Just please own it, OK? Fine.

I'm very, very, very bad.
You know, it's my fault, seriously, that Kyle came to the restaurant.
And - I have feelings for him.
- Wait, like, slutty feelings or? All about sex again! Excuse me.
Gratitude, please.
Guess who finally got laid.
With Faith? Oh, my god.
Congratulations.
Uh, are you gonna see her again? Oh, maybe the odd booty call, I don't know.
[WOMEN LAUGH.]
Enough about that.
I wanna hear more about you.
Are you gonna sleep with Kyle or not? Oh, it's all just such a mess.
That's what people say when they don't want to admit the truth.
Is it the truth? [SIGHS.]
OK, if it is, you need to stop being a pussy, alright? You need to start doing what you want, for a change.
- No, it's more complicated than that.
- Yeah.
She's married to Anton.
They have kids together.
- I'm just I'm saying - No, no, I know what you're saying.
- You're right.
- No Bindy's right.

- Oh, my god.

Here's to the stayers.
You are staying over? Um, can I? [LAUGHS.]
You helped sort out my life.
It's the least I can do.
Bottoms up.
- God - [LAUGHS.]
- Oh, god.
- Mmm! [EXHALES.]
That was truly excellent sex.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
[LAUGHS.]
You know, I was looking at JJ today, thinking about how embarrassing I was when I was 16.
I thought I was so cool for sleeping with him.
Yeah, so, I did something really terrible.
What? I pulled up JJ's police file.
And if someone knew what I was doing, I'd be in deep shit.
Why is that bad? Well, it's totally against the rules.
God, you broke the rules for me? - Yeah.
- Aw! Wait, did you find anything out? Like, anything bad? Well, a couple of minor charges when he was young, and then nothing.
[EXHALES.]
Can we please stop talking about him? - He's literally no-one, OK? - He is London's dad.
- So - Fine.
I just thought you'd I'm sorry.
- Mmm - We'll talk about it later.
OK.
- Morning.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Oh, sorry about yesterday.
I was out with the guys celebrating.
I got a bit carried away.
Celebrating? Yeah.
I passed my physical.
- Another year on the truck.
- Oh, was there ever any doubt? Well, you know, I'm not getting any younger.
I think you've still got it.
God, when I think of the messes people make of their lives I'm so lucky to have you.
You're my rock.
Crumbling old pebble, more like it.
- [STRAINS.]
- Why didn't you tell me? - What? - That you passed your medical.
It's amazing.
Congratulations.
- Oh - My action man.
- Hey.
- Hmm.
- Good day off? - Personal's personal, Sam.
- [HALF-LAUGHS.]
- Look, I just want to give you a heads-up.
There's been a report.
Unauthorised access to police files.
Uh, yeah, look, uh, it wasn't anything important.
Look, I'd turn a blind eye, Sam, but it's not up to me.
You're gonna be suspended, pending an investigation.
[KNOCK AT DOOR.]
God - [KNOCKING.]
- Coming.
Coming! Don't get your knickers in a knot.
Where's Sarah? Uh, not here.
So, where's she gone? Well, she had some things to deal with, apparently.
You don't want to be rich like everybody else does You just wanna grow old sit still while everybody else runs In the meantime tell me your star sign I'll make something up About how you have to fall apart to really be someone How was the rest of lunch? Uh, uneventful.
Want a coffee? Yeah, thanks.
Did you have a big night? Uh, yeah.
[HALF-LAUGHS.]
I stayed with Maddie and Bindy.
Vodka was involved.
And a lot of thinking.
You're right.
I haven't been honest with how I feel and what I want.
OK.
I do have feelings for you.
Of course I do.
And if it was just us, it wouldn't matter but you have your family and I have mine and we'd just be like Charlotte and Anton and I couldn't live with that.
We'd be nothing like Charlotte and Anton.
We It's just how I feel.
It's It's just how I feel.
I'm not gonna argue with you.
Oh, my god But just so you know, if you ever change your mind Fall into your arms I like you just the way you are No, no.
Hey, hey, we're just talking.
How stupid do you think I am? Pretty bloody stupid, if you don't believe her.
- [YELPS.]
- Jesus, stop! What are you doing? - Hey - Come on, call the cops.
I'd rather be inside than watch this! Just stop! I'm not gonna call the cops, Anton.
You just did.
- I wouldn't do that to Sarah.
- [BEEPING.]
Oh, my god.
They're gonna know that you're out of your zone.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
Look, I'm sorry I was an idiot, alright, and I couldn't bear the thought - of you and Kyle together - Just stop.
Look, I love you, Sarah.
I want to spend the rest of our lives together.
Yeah, and I want to feel the way that I used to about you but I just can't force it.
- [SIREN WAILS.]
- OK, so this is the deal.
I will stand by you until this trial is over - [SIREN WAILS.]
- for the kids and to help your case.
But beyond that, I just I can't make any promises.
- S - No - MAN: Anton Pooley? - Yeah.
We've had notice that you breached the terms of your bail.
[HANDCUFFS WHIRR.]
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-hoo Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-hoo No, I can't hide it You're ultraviolet Oh-oh-oh-oh Sarah I can't hide it You're ultraviolet
- Well, you did.
Charlotte's a force.
So, she threw you down and you were just helpless to resist? Things with Kyle have been bad for a very long time.
And to my vice-president, Sarah.
She persuaded her husband to give us this beautiful restaurant.
It was nothing.
It was nothing.
It was my pleasure.
WOMAN: It's the chef that got arrested, Anton.
WOMAN: My god! The cops knew about the affair.
They're saying that she was strangled before she fell.
You know, they should be looking at her husband.
- What, Kyle? - Yeah, Kyle.
Something has to change.
There are people here who care about you.
Whatever way I keep looking at it, there's this truth just staring me in the face.
Anton must have killed Charlotte.
I wanted to thank you for your kindness and for your advice.
Did I convince you to stay? - Ah, here she is.
- Anton made bail.
Surprise.
How you feel about me now? Tell her that she needs to have faith, literally.
- Faith the cop? - Yeah.
The hot lesbo cop.
She needs to get over her ex.
Yeah, I say go for it.
You're meant to be on my side.
The shrivelled-up prune side? The tragic side, babe? Oh, you're here.
Finally.
Hey.
What time do you call this? Oh, my god.
Well, I'm glad to see the place is still standing.
So, who wants a drink? - Uh, me.

Um I have to get the kids to school, so - I said I'd take them.
- Yeah, but you can't.
The cops are tracking you with that thing.
The school's in the zone.
It's the same as the restaurant.
It's fine.
I'm not gonna skulk around like I'm guilty.
Yeah, but we have to be sensitive, OK? You know Xavier's been bullied because of this entire thing? Too much too soon.
Yeah.
Fair call.
Just [EXHALES.]
Alright.
Come on, guys.
But why can't Dad take us? Well, he just has stuff to do, sweetie.

We will talk, I promise.
But just not now.
Please.
Alright.
So, how was it? Big night? - You have a one-track mind.
- [GIGGLES.]
But just for the record.
I'd just rather not talk about it.
We're just taking things slowly.
Better than not at all.
- Fair enough.
- [PHONE BEEPS.]
Oh, the results are in.
The lottery? No, the, uh The DNA results.
London's father.
I'm gonna go and talk to Sam about it, so I'll see you guys.
See you.
Never a dull moment.
Well, I better go and apply for more jobs I won't get.
Bye.
So, how's it going really? Look [SIGHS.]
Anton's just being so positive.
It's like we're in some fairytale.
And Kyle just came over.
It was just all I could do to just keep him away from the house.
Does Anton know about you and Kyle? There's, like, not much to know.
[LAUGHS.]
Oh, come on.
Oh, honey, if you can't tell your friends Yes.
OK.
Yes.
Yes, we've gotten close.
Look, I'm I'm not gonna say anything to Anton.
It just feels like you're playing with fire.
Yeah, I know.
I'll handle it.
- Am I really doing the right thing? - Yes.
Come on.
Look, London has a right to know who her father is.
Yeah, but she can find out when she's, like, 20.
- [LAUGHS.]
Yes - Yeah? Oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
- Is that him? - Yes.
We can still run away.
- Can we talk? - Look, I've got to be somewhere, OK? JJ, you're London's biological father.
It's official.
- I don't think so.
- Uh, DNA doesn't lie.
What DNA? I never gave you any.
- You didn't? - Ok, look, I stole your glass and I got it tested and it's you.
You can't prove it was my DNA on a glass.
It could be anyone.
Hey, she can get a court order, so you might as well accept it.
- I don't wanna be anyone's dad.
- Alright.
Well, she's not just anyone.
And this is stupid.
Let's go, Sam.
You know what, mate? London's a great kid.
She's the best.
But you'll never know that and that's a good thing.
'Cause, I mean, let's face it, she's a lot better off without you and, you don't deserve to be her dad.
Bozo.
Bozo? Yeah.
You heard me.
Hurry up.
- Are you OK? - Yes.
I'm fine.
- Get off me! - What? You're so weird.
SARAH: Hi.
Were you gonna talk to me about this if I didn't come around? Well, it's not as if I had much notice, OK? What? Will you stop doing that and look at me, please? Anton was bailed to our address.
It is his home.
- What was I supposed to do? - I don't know.
- Leave.
You were prepared to.
- What, I'm supposed to kick him out? You've got to make decisions without Anton.
We didn't make any promises.
That was before we kissed.
I have to do what's best for my kids - and I just don't need pressure - [PHONE BEEPS.]
from you or from Anton or from anyone, OK? Just tell me this Do you still think he's guilty? Hey.
- Hello, boss.
Here she is.
- Hey.
What's up? Anton's bringing back the long lunch.
Like, tomorrow.
Oh.
It's just something we used to do a lot around here.
Try out some new dishes, invite friends, regulars.
What, is there a problem? Things are really great, you know.
Bookings are good.
Why rock the boat? The place is called Anton's.
I'm sorry, that's I'm sorry.
[GROANS.]
Sarah wants me to keep my head down as well.
She seems distant.
She's kind of changed somehow.
I think she's probably just getting used to you being home.
Yeah.
You know what, the lunch sounds great.
Let's do it.
We'll make an event out of it, create some buzz.
- Alright, boss.
- Mmm.
I know it's technically cheating but most of the guys on active duty do it, you know, having a pre-medical before the actual one.
All good there? Well, there's an arrhythmia.
There's a concern, and It might be nothing but I would like you to see a cardiologist.
Well that's not gonna fly, Doc.
Why not? Well, if it goes on my record, I'm gonna fail my medical.
OK.
But we can't ignore this, Tom.
Well, why don't you just give me something? It doesn't work that way.
Look, the sooner you get this looked at, the sooner we'll know, OK? Righto.
Well, thanks for the advice, Doc.
I'll take it on board.
Cheers.
Good.
Alright, a couple more.
- Bindy.
Hey - Can't hear you.
And off you go.
Perfect.
Oh Look, I got a shock, alright? That stuff your boyfriend said, it made me feel like a bit of a dick.
And maybe I should meet my daughter.
- London.
- Yeah.
If she's anything like her mother, she'll be amazing.
JJ, there's no point in meeting her if you don't want to be involved.
I do.
Absolutely.
And why should I believe you now? Well, I'm here, aren't I? Look, why don't you bring her out to mine tomorrow, and we'll see how it goes.
I swear to god, if your room-mates - are druggies or into any of that - I don't have room-mates.
I don't do that shit anymore.
Really? It really is good to see you.
- What do you think? - Yeah, I like that one.
- That one? - We could call it Milo or something.
- Milo? - Yeah.
Mummy, we're getting a puppy.
- Oh.
Really? - Yeah.
Come and have a look.
- Come and have a look at Milo.
- Milo, huh? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
OK.
Daddy, can we talk about something for a minute? In fact, I've got something to show you.
- I was calling.
I've been texting.
- Uh, yeah, sorry, I was busy.
Hey, look, Anton, this puppy thing, you know, it's a lovely idea but who's gonna look after it? - And this long lunch? - What about it? Well, it's Honestly, it's a slap in the face for people who cared about Charlotte.
Only to those who think I did it.
This is what I wanted to show you.
My lawyer found new evidence and it is proof, Sarah, it is proof that I didn't kill Charlotte.
Fine.
Don't take my word for it.
See for yourself.
I always said I left Charlotte alive and well at 12:30.
I went to a petrol station, 12:40.
I was heading away from her house and this, this photo proves this.
Yeah, but it doesn't prove that you didn't turn around and just go back to Charlotte's house.
But I didn't.
I - Charlotte was found at 2pm.
- Yes That leaves almost an hour and a half for someone else to go into that house and do it.
Yeah, I agree with you.
But it's not proof.
All the evidence in the world doesn't mean a thing if you don't believe me.
I [SIGHS.]
So, do I take London to see JJ tomorrow or not? Uh, the guy seemed a bit dodge.
Yeah, but he said he was sorry.
And I don't know, he seems kind of cool.
What about Anton's lunch? Yeah, I should be back in time.
So, wait, you ARE gonna see JJ? Yeah.
Hey, it's for London, like you said.
OK.
And you could totally take a date to lunch, couldn't you? - [LAUGHS.]
- Here, pass me your phone.
Hey.
[RINGING TONE.]
- It's for you.
- Oooh.
- It's Faith.
- Bindy! [LAUGHS.]
God.
Hi, uh, Faith.
- [LAUGHS.]
- It's, um, Maddie Hicks.
[LAUGHS.]
Yeah, we have a mutual friend, Sam.
- Um - You are so bad.
Yeah, but it's for her own good.
Hey, so, are you sure about JJ? I mean, if he's still a criminal, you and London might be in danger.
No, it's fine.
He says he doesn't do that stuff anymore.
- You believe him? - Yeah.
I mean, I can handle him.
It's all good.
What did she say? Hot date? We're on.
Oh, my god! That's good! You're finally gonna get laid.
Shit.
Hmm.
Well, that's enough.
Lights out.
What if you have to go back to prison? Well, that's not gonna happen.
Yeah, but what if it does? You know that I love you more than anything in the world.
You know that, right? And Mum and Eve? And them too.
Goodnight, buddy.

So, listen, I know you don't want me to put on this lunch, but I believe you.
I know you didn't do it.
I never, ever meant to catch you in a lie You never, ever You never, ever had the heart to say goodbye With my phone turned off it makes no sound But you said you needed space 'Cause your phone's turned off I'll come around 'Cause I just need to say I swear I never, ever but that's just what you do When you love somebody Love someone I could try to make it better but that's just how it is When you hurt somebody Love someone I like you better from afar I think we're better off apart [ON VOICEMAIL.]

Hmm? Mmm.
You want to have a nap and then come for lunch? - Oh - My shout.
Sounds good, but I've had a better offer.

Yeah.

Nice to meet you.
I'm London.
Nice to meet you too, London.
Guess what.
Happy birthday.
It's not my birthday.
Yeah, but you're six, right? I've missed out on the rest of your birthdays, so I figured let's have them all today, eh? [LAUGHS.]
Go on.
It's so thoughtful.
You didn't have to do that.
It's the least I could do.
[HALF-LAUGHS.]
So, is this place really yours? - All mine.
- It's amazing.
One thing hasn't changed, Bindy, you're still the hottest chick that I know.
Oh, my god.
You're so cocky.
[LAUGHS.]
Stop! [LAUGHS.]
Mummy, Mummy, look.
Oh, look at that.
A nice little hairbrush.
Hey Let's see what else is there.
- [DOG BARKS.]
- [BIKE BELL RINGS.]
It's nice of you to invite me.
To be honest, Bindy was pressuring me and [LAUGHS.]
- Sam's girlfriend? - Yeah.
A small but unstoppable juggernaut.
But I'm glad she did.
Yeah.
Me too.
I hope I'm not underdressed.
No, no.
You look sensational.
[LAUGHS.]
- [LOW-LEVEL CONVERSATION.]

Thanks to you.
Well done.

Thank you.
Alright, alright, alright.
Stop distracting my chef.
- Get in there.
- Um Help yourself to a drink.
Thanks.
- Hey, Dad? - Yep.
Do you know about this? 'Chef Anton, from the fire back to the frying pan'.
It's like he's famous.
How can that be fair? Its not It's not fair at all, Jules.
Go tell your sister lunch is ready, mate.
SAM: Bindy.
Hey, it's me.

Uh, still waiting to hear if you want to go to this lunch.
Call me.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Is Maddie in? Uh, she had a lunch to go to.
Can I give her a message? Oh, no.
I just wanted to sound her out about something.
It can wait, I suppose.
[HALF-LAUGHS.]
Uh, do you want a beer? Oh, yeah.
I'll grab a beer.
Yeah.
- Cheers.
- That's alright.
BINDY: [LAUGHS.]
Cheers.
[POP MUSIC PLAYS FAINTLY.]
- So? It's good, eh? - [LAUGHS.]
So are you gonna tell me the truth? You must've done a lot of shit to buy this house, right? I told you, I don't do that anymore.
Look, I got into IT.
I'm doing OK.
Wow.
You're doing way better than me.
You're doing great.
And London, what a cool little kid.
She is loving it.
[LAUGHS.]
- Yeah.
- [LAUGHS.]
When I first met her, I thought she was the one.
Famous last words, right? So, we've both had our hearts broken.
Well, personally, I've got nothing against a good rebound.
[LAUGHS.]
Don't mind us, Mr Jesic.
Hey.
Just good to see you enjoying yourself.
Yeah.
Makes a change, doesn't it? [CHUCKLES.]
Well, my darling heart, we did it.
We got Anton back where he belongs.
I'm not sure about 'we' and I'm not your darling heart.
[LAUGHS.]
I'm gonna go siphon the python, so don't have fun without me.
- [LAUGHS.]
- Well, we'll try not to.
Oh, my gosh.
He never gives up, does he? Oh, it's probably his only good quality, tenacity.
- Mmm.
- And you've got it too.
I admire you for staying in for the kids.
- I'm proud of you.
- Thanks, Mum.
[TAPPING.]
Hello, everyone.
Can I have your attention, please, for just a moment? Uh, the proprietor, and our head chef Anton would like to say a few words.
- [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.]
- Thank you.
Thank you, everybody.
Um, listen, I won't keep you long.
We have plenty more food and drink still to come.
I did just want to say a couple of things.
I've had a lot of time to think recently [LAUGHS.]
.
.
and, uh, you all being here today, it means the world to me.
It really does.
Um But I particularly wanted to thank my wife Sarah.
[APPLAUSE.]
You are a goddess.
You are the most amazing mother to our children.
I'm the luckiest man in the world.
- [APPLAUSE.]
- Come up here.
Come up here.
Yes.
Whoo! [LAUGHS.]
Beautiful.
Beautiful! Beautiful.
[APPLAUDS.]
Lucky man, alright.
- Listen, mate - I'm not your mate, you murderer.
He's going away for a very long time, ladies and gentlemen, so enjoy the food - Alright, enough! Enough! - You want to have a go? First one's for free.
Better make it a good one.
If I take a swing at you, I'll go back.
I'll break my bail.
I'm not doing it.
No.
Get out of my restaurant.
I mean it.
Get out.
[EXHALES.]
Please.
After everything how can you even be here? OK, everyone, the floor show's over.
[LAUGHS AWKWARDLY.]
Um, there's plenty more food and wine, so eat, drink, be merry.
Yeah.
Listen to this.
"Soz missed your call.
In pool.
Amazing.
" And, uh, a whole bunch of emojis that don't make any sense.
I mean, how does a guy my age get so rich? Unless he's still a criminal.
If you're so worried about her, why don't you just go and get her? Well, I was the one who suggested she find out who London's dad was in the first place.
- Irony, eh? - Yep.
It's a bummer.
Hey, uh, you want another? Oh, I probably shouldn't.
- Go on.
- Oh Alright.
- Whoo! - [LAUGHS.]
- So, I had my medical.
- Yeah? Yeah, you know, the annual circus.
- All good? - Yeah.
Yeah Yeah, I know a bloke who knows a bloke who's got a bit of a dodgy ticker.
Got a friend of his to get him some pills, beta-blockers, helped him get through it.
[CLICKS TONGUE.]
Doesn't sound ideal.
Well, it's alright for you young fellas.
You just breeze through your physicals.
So, what are you gonna do about Bindy and this bloke? Oh, I don't know.
I mean, I could access the police database, see if he's still on our radar.
You might want to be careful doing that.
[FAITH LAUGHS.]
I mean, the food was tasty, but all those little plates Hey.
- G'day.
- Hello, boys.
Senior.
Having a bit of a sesh? Yeah, just finishing up, actually.
- Thanks for the beers.
- Uh Ah.
Yeah.
Uh, me too.
Um, bye.
Scared off by the lesbians.
As they should be.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYS.]
FAITH: Mmm.
You're spoiling me.
Well You're amazing.
Hmm.
And, um, it's been a while.

Where's your son today? Um, Max is with Jesse this weekend.
Mmm.
The evil ex.
Yeah.
We had a really bad time over custody.
- But we're working through it.
- [LAUGHS.]
I so know the feeling.
Monique She drives me crazy.
You know, one minute she says she loves me and the next, she's off with some airhead from her office.
I get it.
Jesse is getting married.
- Whoa.
- Yeah.
That's big.
Maddie I'm sorry if it seems like I used you.
- I'm happy to be used.
- [LAUGHS.]
[LAUGHS.]
[DOOR CLOSES.]
Where are the kids, Sarah? Oh, they're building a fort upstairs, to keep the monsters out.
Look, before you say anything, nothing's happened with Kyle.
- I saw the way he looked at you.
- [SCOFFS.]
There's something going on.
Well, I just understand what he's going through.
You know, just like, he understands about your affair with his wife.
You know, living with the fallout, the court case, dealing with the cops, the impact on the kids.
It kind of goes on and on.
So, what, you and Kyle were a - a cosy little support group, were you? - What? No, we were nothing like that at all.
Lucy and Xavier are friends, OK? I didn't think it was fair to punish them because of something that you've done.
So, you're using Xavier as an excuse, huh? I do not have to make excuses for any of this! Nothing happened.
Well, but it could, right? Yes, I lied to you.
I lied to you.
But ever since, I've been nothing but upfront and all I want, more than anything in the world, is my family back.
- I want you and I want - But I'm here! I'm here.

" Like, "Let's do it, let's try and be a family," you know, and we live in this house together and we have this awesome life.
I don't know, London would probably go to some private school and and have, like, a pony or something.

You know, I was looking at JJ today, thinking about how embarrassing I was when I was 16.
I thought I was so cool for sleeping with him.
Yeah, so, I did something really terrible.
What? I pulled up JJ's police file.
And if someone knew what I was doing, I'd be in deep shit.
Why is that bad? Well, it's totally against the rules.
God, you broke the rules for me? - Yeah.
- Aw! Wait, did you find anything out? Like, anything bad? Well, a couple of minor charges when he was young, and then nothing.
