Five Bedrooms (2019) s01e08 Episode Script

- [Narrator] Previously
on Five Bedrooms.
- How's your mom?
Any better with the gay stuff?
- No.
- Manju, if you just could've
seen him and Pete together,
he was so happy.
- Don't put images in my head.
- Why would you bring up Pete?
- I was making a broader
point about acceptance.
- Ainsley told me about
you, Heather, moving on.
Obviously, you're gonna need
someone to rent out your room.
Maybe that person could be me.
- Lochlan or no
Lochlan, yes or no?
- [Ben] Lochlan, I'm
not a yes or a no,
I actually vote we sell ASAP.
- The results confirmed it
was shellfish poisoning.
- I've just been
feeling queasy all week.
- It's probably
worth seeing your GP,
unless you're pregnant.
[laughing]
[gentle music]
- [Ainsley] Love, marriage, babies, houses,
all pretty standard things to want out of life.
A life worth living
- [Ainsley] Not for
everyone, of curse.
Some people actively avoid them.
Building like little birds
- [Ainsley] Others
end up with them
but don't truly want them.
I spent a lot of my life
thinking those things were
probably out of reach for me
but somehow I'd
arrived at a place
where I could have all four.
- Well, the yard looks a-mazing.
Listen, there's been
a surge in interest
and I'm tipping 70 plus
through the doors today.
- Wow.
- I know.
Hold on, can I grab that?
- [Ainsley Voiceover]
Or maybe I'd end up
with nothing at all.
- And the Yangs
have already tried
to make an offer of 2.4 mil.
Are you all right?
- Hmm?
- [Lochlan] You're not smiling.
- Could we have lunch
today, just the two of us?
- I'd love that but
I already said that
I'd grab a beer
with Greg from accounting
'cause he's going through
a rough time with his wife
and I feel like I
should be there.
Or I could put him off?
- That'd be great.
- [Lochlan] Is everything okay?
- I just want to have a chat.
- About what?
- I'm already running late,
got to stop and get petrol.
- Just tell me quickly.
- I'm pregnant, it's yours.
- Are you sure?
- Well, I mean I've peed
on half a dozen sticks
and been to the doctor, so yeah.
- Oh my God.
You're pregnant!
- Okay, I know that
this is terrible timing
and there's a lot
to think about.
- The timing is perfect, Ains.
We're closing a chapter just
as we're writing a new one.
More than a chapter,
a whole book.
Why are you making that face?
- I didn't know how you'd react.
[gentle music]
[upbeat music]
- You don't expect it, do you,
to get so attached
to a building?
- You've only
visited a few times.
- Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
It's a mystery.
- Bennie, the dream's over?
- It is, mate.
- Do you mind if I
ask what happened?
- Romantic
complications, mostly.
- No, I need to get a place
that's better for my daughter.
- Plus, romantic complications.
- That's not it, mate.
- I was speaking for myself.
- You don't live here.
- Bit hurtful.
- Tricky business,
isn't it, group living?
I ran into similar
issues back in the day.
- Yeah, you did a bit
of group living, Marty?
- Well, it was only the
three of us, early '70s,
myself and two
ladies, two sisters.
And they both got a
piece of my heart.
But it came to a
pretty messy end
financially and emotionally.
Hearts and houses, eh?
Sometimes
I don't know where I was
going with that sentence
but I'm there for you.
- Cheers, Marty.
A king among men.
- [Marty] Ah, now I remember.
- [Rhonda] Well, this
is just delicious.
Heather what you've
done with that dough.
- It's just flat bread.
I just put it in the oven.
- It tastes like cardboard.
- Come on, mate.
- I've got sensitive gums.
- Since when?
- Well I think it's
a lovely texture and
I might take this opportunity
to say thank you, Heather,
for inviting us all here today.
And this is the first
meal we've had as a,
well I'm gonna call
us a new family.
And I hope that it's
the first of many.
- Thanks, Rhonda.
- That's beautiful, Rhonda.
- But actually I
got you all here
to let you know
that I'm leaving.
- What?
- Oh!
- You already left.
- Where are you going?
- Somewhere remote, I'm
considering Iceland.
- Overseas?
- [Heather] Yeah.
- How long?
- Is that important?
- But you hate traveling.
- Yes, I know.
- Especially flying.
How are you even gonna
get on the plane?
- Well, I'll be heavily sedated
and they'll probably
have to stretcher me off
at the other end.
- Well obviously this is a lunch
of a different nature
than I was imagining
but I want you to know
you'll be missed.
- What, more of this, hon--
- Cole.
- If it's about Rhonda
and I traveling to Tasi,
you are more than
welcome to join.
- No, I don't know about that.
- You're taking my younger twin?
- No, no sniff of happiness
has been torn asunder
but thanks for reminding me.
- Excuse me.
- Good one, dad.
You've ruined it again.
- Maybe you should go
and check on Rhonda.
- That's all right,
Louie's got it.
- Yeah, maybe you should
go and check on Louie.
I just wanted,
I just wanted to say--
- I've made up my mind, Carl.
- Let me finish.
I just want you to know
we'll be fine, me and the boys.
You take as long as you need.
You have my blessings.
- I wasn't asking
for your blessings.
- Well you have them anyway.
- Okay, well thanks, Cole.
[sad music]
- [Lochlan] Sandra, this
is your father speaking.
- [Ainsley] We are
not calling it Sandra.
- Delphina?
[laughing]
Does anybody else know yet?
What about Heather?
- I want to tell her
but we're still
not really talking.
- And she can be
pretty brutal so
- I need her to know.
It's too big for
her to not know.
And the big stuff usually
brings out the best in her.
- Then I think I
should tell Melanie.
She'll find out eventually.
It's the right thing to do.
- Okay.
- [Ainsley Voiceover]
It was always a risk,
telling Heather
about the pregnancy
the night before the auction
with things still so
fractured between us.
But Heather in a time of need,
that's a special
kind of Heather.
That's what she always said.
And I was counting on it.
- Look, I don't
want to find out.
- She's not even
letting me wipe out.
- Last time you went
in this kitchen,
everybody ended up shitting
themselves literally.
- I washed my hands,
I'm using a tea towel,
I'll use tea towels
if you want.
- I don't care.
What?
- Can I speak to you for
a moment alone please?
- Ben, distract yourself.
- [Ben] No, we've got to
get over this weirdness.
- Ben.
- Look, I know
we're all heading our
separate ways, all right,
but I'm buggered
if I'm walking away
with any bad blood between us,
especially between both of you.
- Please Ben, it's not--
- Look things got complicated,
all right, I get
it but real mates
make it through fireworks.
- Ben!
- Simmer and Buckets,
2012 preseason
got themselves into
a hell of a threeway
with Fridge's sister.
- I'm pregnant.
- To dipshit?
- To Lochlan, yes.
- Geez, I misread
that, didn't I?
That's unreal, Ains,
congratulations.
I'm just, eh
- How do you feel?
- Surprised, terrified.
- That's pretty normal.
Are you keeping it?
- We are, yeah.
Lochlan's been incredible.
He's talking about
taking a tape course
in early childhood development.
- Well, there's a lot going on.
If you're not 100% sure,
you don't have to
decide right now.
- Sorry?
- I'm just saying, there's time.
- You know you could
just say congratulations.
- Congratulations.
- Look, Heather, I know
you've had some regrets
about the way things
have panned out
in your life--
- Sorry, what does that mean?
- I'm just saying--
- Are you saying I
regret having the boys?
- No.
- Timmy and Louie
are without question
the best thing I've
done in my life.
- I know that, I
wasn't saying that.
I just want you to
be happy for me.
- All right.
- Guess you won't
be here anyway.
- [Lochlan] Hey, you've
reached Lochlan Best.
Please leave a message.
- Hey, it's me.
I told Heather
and I think it actually
went worse than I predicted.
Yeah, it really hurt.
I hope it goes better with Mel.
So call me as soon
as you can, okay.
[sad music]
- You know that wasn't
even close to a fight.
By my family standards
that was like a firm handshake.
- Nice of you to listen in.
- I could listen to
you all day, I reckon.
You know the only reason
you two could talk to
each other like that
is 'cause there's a
lot of love there.
- I just need to take
myself out of the equation.
The sooner I get on the road,
the better it's gonna
be for everyone.
- No, not everyone.
- Ben, I adore you
but I am more broken
than I let anyone see
and I'm not gonna
put that on you.
You've got a real
chance at a happy life.
And I don't want to be
the thing that stops you
'cause you deserve to be happy.
- Yeah but so do you.
Will I still be
able to call you?
- If you want.
- I want.
I'm gonna miss your voice.
- Yeah, this isn't
helping anyone.
[gentle music]
- Sorry.
- I'm already on my
second, skinny bitch.
- I'm a minute and a half late.
- I started early.
- Well sorry, I'm
house hunting again,
it's a nightmare.
- House hunting?
What happened to the commune?
- The commune is
being sold tomorrow.
- Oh no, why?
- Combination of things.
It all became a
bit of a debacle.
Anyway, Sebastian, unfortunately
I've yet to gain access
to the main account.
Are you all right?
- Sorry, sorry, it's just
sometimes when the wheels were
falling off with Sebastian,
I'd think of you and the commune
and I'd think look at Liz
and those blue-collared
sporting people.
I can't remember their
names, Ainsley and Burt.
- Ben.
- And I'd tell myself,
Liz had a cataclysmic
fall from grace
and she ended up in a place
and so might you.
But no, there was a debacle.
- It was preferable
to homelessness
which is what I'm facing now.
Anyway
- What, you need
somewhere to stay?
Well Liz, you should've said so.
I thought Sebastian would go
to the south Yarrow apartment
but then I found
that staying here
in the empty marital home
was just too depressing.
We can't sell it till
after we've settled,
so for the next year, it'll
just be sitting here empty.
- So you'd let me
stay here for a year?
- Consider it an added incentive
to bleed Sebastian dry.
- Could someone stay with me?
- Not on the couch
but in the guest suite or one
of the cottages, of course.
- Me again, sorry for
the repeat harassment.
Hope everything's
going okay with Mel.
It did cross my mind
that you might be
having sex with her
but that's probably just
the hormones talking.
Call me soon as you can.
- [Ainsley Voiceover]
When we moved in,
I deliberately picked the
room next to the front door.
The others didn't want it,
the sound of everyone
coming and going,
all that bustle,
but to me, it made it the
least lonely room in the house.
But on that night,
the last ever
night in the house,
I'd never felt lonelier.
- [Manju] Harpret?
- Sorry I'm late.
How you feeling today?
Hi Helen.
- You need to call if
you're going to be so late.
- I did call.
- Well you need to
call to update us.
I've made chana
masala, it's gone cold.
- Well I've already
had dinner anyway.
- Just as I thought,
he's avoiding me again.
- Mom!
- You are!
- I am not avoiding you.
- He leaves home
early in the morning
and comes home after night fall.
- Mom, I moved home,
I left the house I bought
with my friends for you.
How could I possibly
be avoiding you?
- I might leave you to it.
- Sorry Helen.
- You are so angry
at me all the time.
- I'm sorry.
- Before that house,
we would enjoy meals,
we would watch movies.
We were friends, Harpret.
And now you hate me.
- Oh, I don't hate you.
- Is it because you're
missing your lover?
[phone ringing]
- Sorry, one sec.
Hello?
- Hi.
Is there a bit of an echo there?
Sorry, it's just the
enormous dimensions
of your new bedroom.
- What?
- I am standing in
Edwina's marital compound
which she has given
to us for a year.
The entire house to
live in rent free.
- What do you mean
given it to us?
- [Liz] I mean she's
given it to me,
but you can stay here too.
- I can't really talk right now.
- Could you hold one moment
while I body slam
your luxury linen?
- Sorry mom.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
- [Liz] Did you hang up on me?
- Yeah, I'm having a bit
of a moment with mum.
- [Liz] Just listen
to me, two seconds,
I've got it figured out.
You can split your time between
your mom's house and here.
- That is not possible.
- This place is rent free
so you can afford a
night nurse for your mom.
So half the week you
can be the devoted son.
And the other half, cocktails
in the outdoor lifestyle area.
Plus, this is the
perfect environment
to rekindle things
with people, Tele.
- No, no, do not say that name.
- [Liz] Why?
- Because it's over.
- [Liz] It's only over
because you went out.
- I need to go to bed.
- [Liz] I'm telling you, Harry.
This is the reason everything
happened, the house,
the past six months.
- I'm sorry, I have to go.
- It's all been worth it because
it's brought us here
where we were
always meant to be.
Harry?
[sad music]
- Mum, I'm sorry,
you were right.
I have been taking
things out on you.
I apologize.
- You're not happy here with me.
- I'm not happy with myself.
I know you think going
into that house ruined me
but my life opened up there.
[emotional music]
Are you comfortable?
- No, I need another pillow.
- Do you think
you'll be all right
until Helen arrives tomorrow?
Because I really
need to see someone
and I'm not sure
I'll be home tonight.
- [Pete] Harry?
- Pete, are you at home or,
oh, you're out?
- [Pete] Yeah, just
at the Bill Bazaar.
Are you alright?
- Can I come and see
you for five minutes?
- [Pete] I'm not sure how
much longer I'll be here.
- Just five minutes.
I have something I really need
to say to you face to face.
- Harry?
Harry, yeah.
- Hi, sorry for
interrupting your night.
- It's, you okay?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just,
I'm sure you probably know
we're selling the
house tomorrow.
- Yeah, yeah, I saw the sign.
- Look Pete, I know our
time together was fraught
but the truth is I've
never imagined myself
living as an out gay
man until I met you.
Being with you helped me--
- Harry.
- To see what my
life could be and
it sounds like I'm gonna
propose, doesn't it?
I'm not, don't worry.
Actually--
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- I'm kidding, that was
a sad attempt at a joke.
But seriously, I'm out now
and I haven't been
able to stop thinking
about you or us and--
- [Jack] Everything okay?
- Yeah, Jack this is Harry.
He's one of my neighbors.
- Hi.
- [Pete] He's the one
selling his house tomorrow.
- Oh, I snuck into one
of your inspections.
I wish I could afford it.
Those fireplaces are amazing.
- Oh, thanks.
- [Pete] We'll just be a second.
- Sorry, I didn't realize--
- It's very new.
- [Harry] Right, of course.
- I'm sorry, I probably
should've said something.
- No, no, no, it's nothing
you have to apologize for.
I guess I'll see
you at the auction.
- Yeah, I mean if you'd
like me to be there.
- Oh no, no, no, no, why
would you, that would be,
I might leave you to your night.
Sorry again.
[sad music]
[crying]
- [Lochlan] Please
leave a message.
- Just me again.
I'm getting quite worried now.
I know you'll be
here soon but I just
really thought you'd call.
So
yeah.
- [Ben] Lizzie.
- [Heather] How was your night
in your dream palace?
- So you did get my texts?
- Yeah, and your pictures.
- Yeah, I love those gifs.
- Would've been nice
to have had a response.
- How did you expect
us to respond?
You're sending real estate porn
to people about to become povo.
- Well I just wanted to
share the experience.
- In what way,
inviting me to stay?
- Possibly in time.
- [Ainsley] Liz--
- Did you get my pictures?
- I did.
Could I just ask
in terms of how we refer
to this whole experiment
could we avoid referring
to it as a debacle?
- [Ben] Who said that?
- Adwena called last night
commiserating over the commune
turning into a debacle.
- No, I don't think I
would've used that term.
- It's okay, I just don't think
it reflects very well on us.
- Ainsley, I--
- It's fine.
- Morning.
I'm so, so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
- Where were you?
- Everything just took 10
times longer than I expected.
- Well, you've done it now.
- Heather, look I know that
you're skeptical about me
and us and this but
I'm gonna work so hard
to be the husband and father
than Ainsley always dreamed of
times a million.
Just you watch.
- Well, I'll be on the
other side of the planet
so just gonna have to
take your word for it.
Babe, God, I'm so sorry, Ains.
What happened with Heather?
You said it was awful.
- It was worse than awful.
How'd it go with Mel?
- Oh, oh you know
- Did you stay
over or something?
- No, no, no, no, God no.
Well, technically yes
but not in a sexual way.
She was in quite a state.
Let's, you know what, there's
plenty of time to discuss this
and we've got a hell
of a day ahead of us.
- [Ainsley] Then what happened?
- Ains, this
Um, look what I'm
about to tell you
will come as a bit
of a shock at first
but if you actually
think about it
a good and beautiful
thing has happened.
- What?
- Mel is pregnant too,
at least two months
gone, maybe even three
and it's probably mine.
It is mine.
- [Ben] Ains, we're
just heading to Val's.
- [Ainsley] I'll be
there in a minute.
- G'day Manju.
- Ben,
Heather.
- Mom.
- Harpret, Elizabeth.
- [Liz] Oh, it's lovely
to see you, Manju.
- The house looks really nice.
With all these potted plants,
I didn't realize it could
make such a difference.
- This must be Harry's sister.
- Mum, this is our
neighbor, Marty.
- Pleasure to meet you.
- Pleasure.
- And will Harry's father
be joining us today?
- No, he passed some time ago.
- Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that.
- We have to wait down the
road while they open the house.
Did you want to--
- No, no, no, Harpret, your
gentleman friend, is he here?
- [Marty] Yeah, where is Pete?
- Uh no--
- He's busy,
I think working.
- Elizabeth, you know I
rely on you for the truth.
- That is the truth,
he's not here.
So did you want to come with us?
- No, no, I want
to see the house.
- And I would be only
too happy to show you.
- Thank you.
- All right, we'll
see you soon, then.
- See you, yes, see you.
Hi Martin, Harpret's friend--
- Pete?
- Yes, do you know him?
- Oh yeah, yeah, lived
opposite him for years.
- Sometimes life throws
curve balls Ains.
- This is a little bit
bigger than a curve ball.
- Yeah, I know it's
a lot to take in
but I think there's
a few positives here.
- I'm sorry, but I am not
gonna make you feel good
about impregnating two
women simultaneously.
- That's fair.
- I'm sorry, we are
officially open now.
If you could find an
alternative location.
- Coming out now.
- We are not dealing with this
in front of the others.
I'm gonna go to Val's,
you're gonna stay here.
And then when we're
all back together,
we're gonna pretend like this
conversation didn't happen.
I don't want to see one
flicker of anything,
especially in front of Heather.
I just want to get through today
and sell this house.
- I'm gonna get a
good price, Ains,
for our family.
- Stop talking.
Hello.
- Hi, hello, how are you?
Good to see you, welcome back.
- [Val] Can I get
anyone anything,
a cup of tea, little
something to calm the nerves?
- What are we talking,
liquid, plant?
- How strong do you want to go?
- Ains.
- Are you all right?
- Yeah, I was just feeling
a bit unwell for a second.
- I didn't feed her anything.
It's not food
poisoning, it's just,
Ains, tell them your news.
- Oh, I think everyone
knows my news.
- Sorry?
- [Val] I don't know anything.
- Sorry, Liz, Val, I'm pregnant.
- Oh, oh that's lovely.
I'm gonna get us some champers.
- Oh, do we do that
with pregnancy?
- [Val] We do.
- You knew?
Feeling a bit on the outer but,
wow, wow, congratulations.
- Thank you.
Thanks Liz, your support
means a lot to me.
- And it's Lochlan's?
- Oh yeah it is, yes.
- Wow yeah, ooh.
[nervously laughing]
- Well, here we all are,
the old band's back together.
Reunion tour, it's
nice, isn't it?
Also a bit weird.
Just feels like someone
should say a few words.
Heather?
- If we get less than 2.6,
I'm gonna go the
full Harry Caray.
- I think you mean Harry Caray.
- [Ben] What?
- [Heather] Harry Caray.
- I meant a more emotional,
interpersonal type thing
to mark the occasion?
Ains?
- Liz.
- No, I think Lizzie
made her position clear
with the debacle comment.
- I didn't mean that--
- Thanks, Liz.
Haza?
- Oh, um, I don't know,
I guess I want to thank you all
for giving me the best--
- You're saying the words
of that Dido song, mate?
- I was, I'm sorry.
- All right, um,
families come in
all shapes and sizes
[phone ringing]
- I'm sorry, I think
I should take this.
- Okay, not to be, worth a shot.
[sighs]
- Pete?
- Hey mate, just checking
is everything okay?
I'm over here at your place.
- Yeah, in what terms?
- Well, Marty called me,
said that there was
a security concern
at the open house.
- A security concern?
- He didn't really
give any details.
He said just to come on over.
- Oh, here he is, Pete?
- [Pete] Mrs. Sethi,
is everything okay?
- What?
- Mr. Portelli, there is
something I need to say to you.
It's about my son.
- If you could just please
pass the phone to my mother.
- Actually I've got Harry
on the line right now.
- Harpret?
- [Harry] Mom,
what are you doing?
- Well, I'm glad you're here.
- I am not there, mom.
I'm not there.
- Okay, then I'll
put you on speaker
- Oh my God.
- And I want both you and Peter
to hear what I have to say.
Peter, I know I've struggled
with Harpret's feelings for men,
perhaps because Harpret,
this may be a shock,
your grandfather on
your father's side
was also homosexual.
- Oh my God, oh my God.
- Please, he dreamed
of being a homosexual
until he had a heart attack
and he died in his sleep.
Peter, I want to say this,
if Harpret would have you
as his lover, so be it.
I'll find a way to love you,
as long as you're healthy
and you don't wear
the hot pants,
I'll welcome you into our
family with open arms, Peter.
- Oh my God, oh
my God, oh my God.
I am so sorry.
- No, we're okay, we're fine.
- Harpret, Peter has found
another lover, also a male.
- I have told Harry that.
- I already knew that mom.
I'm so sorry.
- No, that's okay.
Why don't I leave
you guys to it?
I just need to confirm,
definitely no security concerns
of any nature?
- No, and if any emerge,
I'm here and I'm vigilant.
- Okay.
- Just again, I'm so sorry.
- It's okay, it's fine.
Good luck.
- Thanks.
[funny music]
- Good afternoon,
ladies and gentlemen.
If I can get you to
gather in closer,
we are moments away.
- [Lochlan] Hey guys,
how exciting is this?
- Are you all right?
- I cracked the
champagne already, sorry.
- Peter has already
been spoken for.
- She knows that, mom.
Marty and mom have
moved on from Pete
and are now workshopping
my love life.
- [Manju] We like the swimmer.
- The swimmer?
- Big feet, retired now
but still quite young.
- Ian Thorpe.
- [Manju] Yes, Ian
Thorpe, we like him.
- If you guys would
like to move outside.
If I could get
all the homeowners
to cluster over here,
it's time to get this
show on the road.
- Oh, Lochlan, congratulations.
I hear that you
have exciting news.
- Yeah, thank you.
- Mate, congrats.
- Honestly, I don't think
I've ever felt happier
or more grateful.
We don't even know if it's
gonna be a boy or a girl
but I just feel like
a different person.
Don't you, Ains?
- Yep.
- It just puts a
different filter
on the way that you
look at the world.
- You should probably.
- Yeah, okay, right,
okay legends, let's do this.
- Well ladies and gentlemen,
this is the dream.
What a magnificent home,
grand proportions and
unbeatable location.
Most of all--
- What's happening, Ains?
Something's happening.
- I'm fine.
- Picture the kids
running through
this sun-dappled,
family-friendly location.
Now the bank's zone is
very, very hard to get into.
- Hey.
- Heather I'm fine.
- Bullshit, you've got
drama flinging off you
like dog hair in spring.
- Yeah well it's
a bit unsettling
having your entire life
savings on the line.
And I'm feeling a bit
nauseated most of the time.
- I know you, Ainsley Erling.
I know you a hell of a lot
better than I know myself
and right now you
need to tell me
what the hell is going on.
- Melanie--
- Dipshit's ex?
- She's also pregnant.
- [Heather] You are
fucking kidding me.
- I could talk about
this property all day.
- There's actually quite
a lot of noise spill
coming into the yard.
- Lochlan, I'm gonna
suggest that you stay--
- You should be
surgically castrated.
Do you have any idea
how you have decimated
not one, but two women's lives?
- For your information,
Mel's actually very happy,
as long as I'm not involved.
- Can you hear yourself?
- Just one moment,
ladies and gentlemen,
we will open up
bidding very soon,
just in a moment.
- Heather, this has got
nothing to do with you.
You're not her mother.
You act like you
care about Ainsley
but you constantly
undermine her.
I find it borderline psychotic.
- Don't speak to her like that.
- Well you said
so yourself, Ains.
She's a very unbalanced woman
trying to live
your life for you.
- She is the most
sane person I know.
- It's just that you
judge every little thing
that anyone does.
- Hoy, that'll do.
Heather Doyle changes
people's lives.
She scoops 'em up
and cares for 'em.
You wouldn't know
about it, mate.
- Are you threatening me?
- [Ben] No, absolutely not.
- He's just being protective.
- The man was in prison, Ains.
- That was a very minor offense.
- That man might have
a criminal record
but he is a walking
fairy tale, all right?
- Look, there's obviously a
lot of emotion in the room
but I'm starting
to get concerned
we're impacting the sale price.
- Sorry, Denise, I
just need five minutes.
I'll be right back.
Heather, I've got this.
- Heather Voltez Halliwell.
- I thought you said the deal
was we weren't
gonna tell anyone.
- I know that.
- That was five
against one, Ains.
Heather's clearly
made everyone hate me.
- No, she hasn't.
They don't hate you, Lochlan,
they just care about me.
- Do they?
'Cause I think that they
want you to hate me too.
And I think that it's working.
- I could never
hate you, Lochlan.
You are completely oblivious
to the impact you
have on my life.
- Look, I think
that you're upset
and it's been a massive day.
Your poor hormones
must be off the charts.
- Please don't confuse what
I'm about to say with hormones.
I'm having this baby
and we're gonna be great parents
but for me to be a great parent,
I have to protect myself.
- What are you saying?
- I can't be with you, Lochlan.
I need to be with
people I can depend on
and that's not you.
- I've really, really messed
everything up, haven't I?
- Yeah, you have.
- [Ainsley Voiceover]
I did this,
the house, everything,
to move forward in life
and I was moving.
I just had no idea
where I was going.
- Hey, are you all right?
- People are understandably
getting restless.
I can't stall much longer.
Are we proceeding with the sale?
- We are.
Let's sell this house.
- Good.
Well ladies and
gentlemen, apologies.
Thank you for your
patience and welcome.
We are ready to open bidding
on this incredible family home.
- [Ainsley Voiceover] I've
been to hundreds of auctions
but never one where my place,
my home is on the line.
- [Denise] Could we get the
bidding started at 2.4 million?
Looking for 2.4 million?
- [Ainsley Voiceover]
Clients have always told me
there's nothing more stressful
than a long pause at an auction,
all your savings in the balance,
your future on the line,
life at a crossroad.
- Don't be shy.
I can see a few
familiar faces here.
Who wants to start me off?
- [Ainsley Voiceover]
But in that moment,
that flicker of a moment
when it looked like
we might not sell,
I wasn't feeling horror,
I felt relief.
- [Denise] And welcome madam,
thank you, we are away.
- [Ainsley Voiceover] I was
certain I was the only one until
- Wait, do we really want this?
- What?
- Do we want to lose this place
- The debacle.
- I apologized for that.
- No, you didn't, you denied it.
And regardless, Harry
bought out your share
and now you're living
in a mansion rent-free.
- I know, I know that and
I hated it.
I couldn't sleep.
It was like a five star
version of being dead.
The truth is I
missed everything.
I missed Heather going to
the toilet six times a night.
- Two kids, mate, 27
stitches in total.
- And Ben's acapella singing.
And Ainsley's pointless
color coded rosters.
I missed it all
and Harry, you're 10
years younger than me
and you love the cock
but you're the love of my life.
- 2.5.
- Lizzie, I hear you
but I've gotta sell,
I've gotta sell for my daughter.
- Okay, your ex
cannot deny access
unless she can prove that
this is an unsafe environment,
which it clearly isn't.
And in the unlikely event
that she takes you to court,
I will personally represent you.
- [Denise] 2.5, we're
looking for 2.6.
- Maybe it's Stockholm
Syndrome but I,
I don't want to lose
this, this house,
these five people.
You're feeling it too.
- What?
- Don't deny it, Ainsley.
You're an awful liar.
It's all over your face.
- The truth is I would
love nothing more.
- Yes!
- But it wouldn't
be the same, Liz.
You'd be dealing with a baby
and a panicked single mother.
- Okay, so you're
gonna be a single mom.
You're not gonna
do it on your own.
I'll be on hand 24 hours a day.
- But you're going away.
- Oh bullshit, I was never
getting on that plane.
You're about to experience
the single greatest shit show
on the face of this Earth
and if you think I am not taking
my rightful front row seat
to that, then you have
not been paying attention.
- You'll have me too.
Look, I've never
lived with a baby
but I can't live with
my mother anymore.
- 2.7, thank you very much, mam.
- And also, every kid needs
a handyman/spiritual guide
and fairy godfather, guncle.
- I'll take it.
- And like a smoking hot auntie
and a you know, very,
accomplished solicitor.
- Or just another
excellent auntie.
- Yes.
- Really?
- Yes, I would be
an excellent auntie.
- No, I mean
- Oh, I've never been clearer.
I feel worse about this
ending than my divorce.
- Bugger it, the five
of us right here.
- [Ainsley Voiceover] And there
in the middle of
our lounge room,
fist to fist with my
unofficial family,
I was feeling so much,
I couldn't hear anything,
not the once, the twice,
nothing at all until
going three times--
- Oh my God.
- [Denise] And sold
for 2.9 million
to the lady on my left.
