Episode 7

1 Oh, my God! You had a stranger living in your shed.
There's still no DNA confirmation, right? Shall I give this to you? First to tell me that you have this disease and then you just tell me that you've lost your house like it's nothing! I'm a virgin.
$250.
I only want six.
Felicity said that You give them to me or you will lose this gig.
- Is this OK? - Mm-hm.
I knew it was wrong but I I didn't think Ron would ever find out.
I've stopped filming.
It's not in my head, is it? Us.
No, it's not.
[LAUGHS.]
I've given you dates.
We had sex three times, starting one month ago.
I'm not comfortable with this.
I realise now I'm just a thing in this conflict with your husband.
Do you want a drink? I can order you one.
No.

That's from me.

Who's Carl? Uh, nobody.
[LAUGHS.]
It's a boy! - Yeah, girl.
- Shut up! Hello? Hey, it's Carl.
From the other night when we had drinks and then sex.
Uh Yeah.
I did have sex with a person called Carl.
He was trying to impress me.
Yep.
And it worked.
Let's do it again.
Have you told anyone about us? Uh, nope.
Would you like me to? Uh, please don't .
.
don't tell Tim.
Sorry.
I've gotta go.
[HANGS UP.]
Ta.
Hi, Mum.
Where have you been? [SIGHS.]
You .
.
know everything now.
W-what do we know? [VOICE QUAVERS.]
I knew.
That you were his.
I knew exactly where you came from.
When when I When I was 15, I had a child and .
.
they made me give her up.
Um I'm gonna put the kettle on and, um .
.
and then we'll have some tea.
[BREATHES DEEPLY.]
[ELECTRIC BEEPING.]
[LOUD RUNNING ON TREADMILL.]
[TREADMILL CONTINUES.]
Morning! I didn't wake you, did I, honey? Nope.
I put some sheets in to wash.
Honey, there.
I've done They're washing.
It's in the middle washing.
Oh, yeah, right.
Sorry.
Sorry, Mum.
Yes! I got you! I got you! - You believed me! - What? Oh, come on.
It's a practical joke.
I'm not that bad yet.
Oh, my God.
Your face! [LAUGHS.]
Your face! No more practical jokes.
I'm sorry.
I can't I can't promise that.
Oh, Edie, come on.
Come on.
Oh, you're not a morning person!? - Uh, hi.
Do you know about this? - What? Butch is here and, oh, my God, she even smells scary.
And then there was another woman and she's already gone.
WOMAN: Is that Julia? What's going on? I've had your father tested.
We needed to get a clear picture of his mental capacity because it affects power of attorney.
Well, he comes and goes.
He can be fine He's diminished, Julia.
He's no longer capable of signing a document.
So I can't protect your inheritance.
Well, why didn't you tell me about this? You would've said no.
You're his daughter.
You don't want to face his decline.
I decided it'd be easier to apologise afterwards, so I'm sorry.
I'll see myself out.
[BOTH CHAT INDISTINCTLY.]
Um, I can make it on Friday but Hi.
Good morning.
Um, these are some notes on the framing of damages and birth torts I thought you should see.
Great.
Thanks.
I think you should resign.
Oh.
Yeah.
I just .
.
don't think I can do it.
I'll make sure you get an excellent reference, of course.
And we'll look after you financially too.
We'll pay out your contract.
Are you aware you put everyone in a position of compromise without ever being willing to compromise yourself? No.
That's absolutely not true.
I have tried You're not as impressive as you think you are.
So let me be clear.
You're a married woman.
You had an affair.
Own it.
Consider this my resignation.
Thanks for coming with me at short notice.
This is like one of the best things about having a sister.
Taking me to the doctor and talking to me about everything.
So, you and Isaac.
Mm-hm.
We did it.
And? Did you enjoy yourself? Yeah, well, like did you, like ENJOY yourself? Do you mean like the angry sneeze part? [LAUGHS.]
Yes.
- Roxy.
- Yes.
Hi.
Hello.
Thank you.
[LAUGHS.]
How can I help today? Well, I've recently become - sexually active.
- OK.
I thought, should I probably be on the pill? Mm-hm.
And how old are you? Are you planning to get pregnant? I definitely want children but just not right now.
Are your periods regular? No.
When was your last one? Months, I guess? Maybe a year.
They don't come very often.
I think we should run some tests, check the levels of your hormones, make sure your reproductive system is healthy.
OK.
What could it be? Any number of things.
We'll want to rule out menopause, of course.
Menopause? That's just one of the things we'll test for.
I'm 30.
I can't .
.
be having that, can I? Everything OK? Yep.
All good.
Cool.
Let's go.
Are you gonna tell me where you were the other night? Not planning to.
I seem to remember you threatening to change the locks when I didn't come home.
That's true.
Were you with Julia? [SCOFFS.]
This is what the last couple of days have been like.
Where were you, Tim? Tim? Edie is asking a direct question.
Do you think you owe her an answer? I rented a hotel, and called an escort service.
What? Yep.
Do you mean as a way of getting back at me? No, as a way of getting sex.
Oh! Am I supposed to be OK with that? Just wanted someone to want me.
Tim, do you think if Edie had been more available for sex, you might not have What? Well, Tim's behaviour is a reflection of the circumstances - between you - Oh, shut up.
I'm sorry? Are you seriously gonna sit there and take our money and tell me that it's my fault that my husband went to see a prostitute? - No, I didn't say that.
He did.
- I didn't say that! This is really not working and I think the problem is actually you, Angela.
You've always just been a little bit too interested in us and it's it's in a pervy way.
OK, this is interesting.
You're feeling cornered, you're looking around for someone to blame, you're blaming me.
It happens quite a lot, actually.
This is an absolute joke.
We are finished here.
Tim! Edie, lashing out isn't a strength.
It's a weakness.
Yeah, alright, well Don't cream yourself too much, Angela.
You might slide off the seat.
Tim.
MAN: Hurt my arm, Princess Octavia.
I think it's broken! Oh, dear, Farmyard Frank.
Well, how did you manage that? Well, I was mending a fence, then one of the ramming rams rammed me! Oh, dear! Luckily, I've just learnt a mending song that should fix both your arm and the fence.
And great! And then it goes into the song, but before we do that I just Hello.
Oh, my God.
- It's like, actually you.
- Hi.
Roxy, it's wonderful to see you.
You too.
Octavia, would you mind just waiting outside for a moment? Sorry.
Slipped my mind that there were auditions today.
- Hey, Rox.
- Hi.
Thank you.
She's wonderful.
She's .
.
SO pretty, and she's, what, 19? Be honest.
Your heart hasn't been in it since you came back, and this Roxy 2.
0 experiment, it's not working.
All I'm doing is protecting the world of Farmyard Frank.
[LAUGHS.]
It's funny that you would choose to be angry with me right now.
- I'm not angry.
- [LAUGHS.]
You are angry.
I wish you wouldn't force me into this position.
I just didn't want to wear a princess dress anymore.
We're not going to renew your contract.
And there's that anger again.
I mean, what is that about? I'm the one that's out of a job.
I've been very good to you, Roxy.
You knew you weren't gonna be on Farmyard Frank forever.
These things have their time.
[WHISPERS.]
And I know when you're off your face.
You are so full of shit, Felicity.
Well All the best! Big dawg! We're in here.
I'll go up.
Then come in.
Okay.
What's all the noise down there? It's a dinner party.
I've already told him.
He keeps asking.
A while since we've had a dinner party.
Yeah, I was hoping that you could come downstairs and join us.
- Mmm.
- His pain's been terrible today.
Well, I'll bring something up and see if we can tempt you.
No.
No.
Julia.
Yeah, Dad? My daughter.
Pardon? I'm I'm here, Dad.
Are you alright? You're .
.
you're holding me hostage.
Yeah, look, it's just the drugs.
The dose is really high.
Yeah, I know, I know.
He just seemed, like, really to believe what he was saying.
He's been ratty all day.
This is some cheese from the valley where I grew up.
What valley's that? In New Zealand.
Did you invite Carl to this little soiree? Carl Logan? Carl who is calling Julia on the phone this morning.
No, he, um He thought that he could get me to become a plaintiff in the class-action, and I already said no, so Yeah, dream on.
Mm.
I'm gonna go check on dinner.
- Do you need a hand? - Nah, it's cool.
What's going on with Kasey? I know.
She's done the DNA test, so she must know what we're all about to find out that she's not really your sister.
Yeah, maybe she's sucking up to you so you don't kick her out.
But she seems really confident.
Maybe it's time that we start entertaining the possibility that she could actually be our sister.
- Hello.
Hi.
- OTHERS: Hi.
I just let myself in.
Hello.
OK.
Ah, come in.
Join us.
Um, well, I've just got to do something real quick.
- I'll be right back.
- OK.
[CHUCKLES.]
Smells good.
Nearly ready.
I have something for you too, actually.
Got the DNA results.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, negative.
There's no genetic match.
But I .
.
I am.
Uh I have the results for you.
Dad.
I just thought the ambulance would take him.
Oh, there'll be more people coming and going.
His death is considered unexpected.
So there's a rigmarole.
You'd understand.
I think I'm going to, um I think I'm going to spend the night here.
We'll all stay.
I'd rather not.
I'll do what needs to be done.
- Alone.
- Do you mind if I stick around? If there are any documents or anything that I can help you with Wait, you wanna get his will .
.
right now? His body is still here, Edie.
No, no, I meant anything to do with his medical records.
Maybe we could all just have a drink.
- Yeah, that's a good idea.
- This is mine.
Right? His death, it's mine.
Yep, I know.
And I just meant And he's gone.
And at the end of it, it was all about your shitty legal case.
You wanted to kill him.
You wanted to watch him die.
OK, I did not want him to die, Julia.
Yeah, you did.
And he's dead now.
And you win.
No, that's not what anything was about, and you know it.
I feel like if we all just hold hands Oh, that's right.
No.
That's right, it was about justice.
Yeah.
The fact that you didn't have a father had nothing to do with it.
Did it? Oh, no, no.
It wasn't personal.
Did you have sex with Carl? Oh, my God.
You are actually going to try that? What? It's a simple question.
Did you? You've just been holding that, waiting to throw it, haven't you? You are poison! Alright? Every time you're afraid that someone is going to zero in on you, you just throw a grenade.
You just need to calm down, actually, Julia.
You think if you launch a big-enough class action no-one is gonna realise that you're a lesbian! Oh, God.
I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean to do that.
You hit me.
I didn't mean to.
Just remember, that the night my father died, you slapped me.
I'm gonna go.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES.]
Can everyone go, please? On the rocks.
Thanks.
I spent so much time wanting him to hug me.
That was a foreign language to him.
I think I, like, created this version of him in my mind Like, this version that I wanted him to be.
I don't think I can be the centre of attention at the funeral.
You can't bail on the funeral.
No.
Someone's got to get up and say something and .
.
it should be you.
Will you do it? Yes.
Well, you know I can be found I'm sittin' home all alone [SNIFFLES.]
If you can't come around At least on the telephone Baby, if I made you mad With somethin' that I might have said Please, let's forget the past For future looks bright ahead Don't be cruel To a heart that's true Cross my heart Julia asked me to say a few words.
Julius took me on as his apprentice when I was a registrar.
He was not my father, but he was that figure that some of us are lucky enough to have.
Part guardian angel, part teacher .
.
a man of few words, but inspired and inspirational.
And when it was time for him to retire, he trusted me to carry on the work that he had started.
And then he fucked us.
He tore up our trust.
He damaged families.
He proved himself to be just another flawed, self-centred old bastard.
And now he's dead.
And we all have to clean up after him.
Thanks a bloody lot.
All of which is just to say that he was full of contradictions.
And all of our lives are marked by him.
Julius, I loved you.
I hated you.
I'm angry with you for going and leaving this god-awful mess.
[SOBS.]
I never got to meet him.
No, you never did.
You know, I tried to have a connection with you It was impossible.
So now I'll never get to know what I meant to him? Or why he did it? None of us will.
I don't know, he didn't tell me.
Dad, this is your son Sam.
He wants answers.
We all do.
Why did you do it? [BOTH CHAT INDISTINCTLY.]
Hi.
OK, so, people are here and there's a hot guy in the house.
Is that the one you slept with? Because ding-ding! Oh, look out! I don't know.
[PIANO PLAYS.]
What are you doing here? Uh, I wanted to see you.
Your brother let me in.
Your father.
Uh Um, excuse me.
I've got to There's a I just have to make sure things are happening.
Hello.
[SIGHS.]
Isaac did such a lovely speech, didn't he? Yeah.
Your father was one of those men.
Like Isaac.
You know what I mean.
Do I? You know, that .
.
lanky, reedy, elfin look.
Brilliant in the mind.
Isn't it funny that he picked for a protege a man almost exactly like himself? And you and me.
We're the same too.
I never had an affair with your father.
That's the stone cold truth.
Never.
He never noticed me.
Ohh I hoped he would, though.
I guess that was obvious.
No, it wasn't.
I didn't stay there for 30 years to watch people have babies.
All that quiet hoping.
I was in love with him.
I just said it out loud.
I suppose now I'm free.
Bit late in the day.
Don't spend your whole life waiting.
- Hey.
- Hi.
You caught me.
Got here as quickly as I could.
You're in the middle of your hearing? Yeah.
I remember when you first brought me to this house.
Your mum was standing right here.
Yeah.
She liked to meet people on the step.
And Dad hid away in his lair.
She was like the interface between him and the world.
[CHUCKLES.]
He was wearing a suit.
It was quite intimidating.
We had cutlets.
Yeah.
Cutlets.
I'm sorry, Julia.
For everything.
Edie's inside.
You must have your DNA results by now.
No, I don't have them yet! I gave them to you the night we all had dinner.
Well, I guess I forgot.
You don't forget DNA results.
And you have had them this whole time?! So obviously they were negative? Guys, please, can we not turn this into a guessing game? - Are they negative? - Yes, they were negative! Negative! OK? That feels really unfair, Kasey.
- You've been living in my house.
- In your shed.
You have taken advantage of Julia knowingly all this time.
No! The whole time, you guys have been acting like you're part of this little gang and like you already know that I'm not part of it.
- But you're NOT part of it.
- We are all related by DNA.
No, you're not! You're not.
I used her DNA.
I used a swab from your mouth.
When? When you were asleep.
- You're not his daughter.
- Just don't even listen to her.
It's just more of her bullshit.
No, I'm definitely my dad's daughter.
- There is no doubt about it.
- That's what I thought.
That's why I thought the best way to get a positive test was to use your DNA.
No, because Julia's already done the DNA test.
Right? No, I No, I didn't think I needed to.
Because I [STAMMERS.]
Julia - Julia, are you alright? - Uh, yeah.
I just I Julia, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Why would you say that?! Why?! Can you just go?! Can you just Just go! Go away! Go! Come on.
Thank you.
Eat.
Why are you being so nice to me? Because.
Because why? Just because.
For what it's worth, a DNA sample taken without consent is inadmissible.
Yeah.
She probably contaminated the sample, right? Right.
Yeah.
I'm 100% sure I'm my father's daughter.
Right.
You working some angle? You're hoping I'll say something or do something to incriminate myself? You looked like you wanted someone to get you out of there.
So I got you out of there.
I like you.
Oh! [LAUGHS.]
What? I Just in my world, people don't usually say those words.
What, like, rich, mean lawyer world? [LAUGHS.]
Yeah.
I like you too.
Well, what difference does it make anyway? Ha What do you mean? You know, my life is like I don't even know.
You're Carl Logan from Logan Hawker and this it's it's just it's really confusing.
And I don't even It's going to end badly.
I don't I don't I can't I'm not gonna Sorry, I can't I can't do this.
This is yours.
Um - I'll take you home? - No.
Thanks for the kebab.
And, um .
.
this nice little moment of friendship.
Goodbye.
[ZIPS BAG.]
[SIGHS.]
No, no, wait.
- You OK? - Yeah, I just I just need a sec.
I just need to [SIGHS.]
Is it possible that some things are a punishment for other things? - What do you mean? - Um, it's Nothing makes sense.
I just I lost myself but I don't even know where to, like, to look to find it.
To find yourself? OK.
Just Just take a breath, alright? No, see, that didn't that didn't help because it's not about breathing, it's about my mother's lies and my father and, um And I've lost my job, right? Because, um because I'm too old and I don't want to be a princess anymore, but then at the same time I've started having sex and now it looks like I have menopause.
- Menopause? - Yeah.
- You sure? - Yeah.
It's, like, a strong possibility and so, like, everything at once.
It can't be.
It can't be a coincidence, can it? So, like, it's all connected.
So, is it, like, all one punishment or is it, like, is it all just like lots of different punishments but lots of different things I think you might be having a panic attack, OK? - Can I take your hand? - No, because, you see, I think I'm being punished for having sex with you.
[CRIES.]
My mother always said that sex is bad and this is what she meant.
- Just listen to my voice - No! No! 'Cause everybody always tells me to shut up and I don't want to be a princess anymore.
- We we'll slow down.
- Sorry.
[SNIFFS.]
You know what? Actually Actually I'm alright.
I'll be alright.
I just I've just got a headache.
I just I'm just going to um, I'm just going to go to the bathroom and just take [SNIFFS.]
