Playing for Keeps (2018) s02e02 Episode Script

1 MAN: It's going to be a big year for the Southern Jets with new coach, former player Travis Cochrane and all-star recruit Liam Flynn.
- I miss you.
- We broke up, - and now, we're hanging out.
- I don't know.
Maybe we could be friends.
I wanted to tell you in person.
I've met someone.
Her name's Annabelle.
- And with the season starting - It's always a pleasure.
KATH: Liam.
Hi! You must be Kendall.
If there's anything we can do to help you out, - settling in - Thanks, Kath.
We're just stoked to be back in Melbourne, aren't we, baby? - KENDALL: Hells, yeah.
- Yeah.
Are you bitches good for a drink? - No, good.
- No, I'm all good.
My contract's up end of the year.
I assume Flynn didn't come cheap.
You're worried you're being offloaded.
- Am I? - You're Jessie Davies.
JESSIE: Yeah.
I am.
You don't have any gear, do you? - Gear? - Coke.
If she has something to say to me, she can say it to my face! - How are we going? - I mean, they're all talking shit about me.
Kendall, I think it's time to go home.
I think it's time that you go get fucked.
I just met with your husband.
He turned down the job.
There's a job going as a development manager, running clinics in the outback.
- I can't go anywhere.
- I know.
Can we just keep this between us, please? I don't think we can make that promise till we know what happened.
The truth.
MAN: Today's the day the Southern Jets unveil their leadership group and, after much speculation, fans are itching to know whether gun recruit Liam Flynn has made the cut.
Trav, Maddy caught me up.
Thank you.
OK.
What's the damage? Six stiches.
No glass in the wound.
No sign of concussion.
- How do you feel? - Yeah, fine.
- Has this happened before? - No.
OK.
What was she on? Don't know.
Cocktail of things.
- Right.
When you confronted her, she - Yeah.
hit you in the face with a glass.
- You're going to have to report this.
- Please don't.
I'm sorry.
This is about player welfare.
We have to protect you.
- We have to protect the club.
- Can we talk about this later? Can we postpone? If we cancel now, it's just going to invite more questions.
- And his face won't? - Guys, I'm fine.
Really.
We could do the presser without him.
Seriously? New recruit mysteriously absent.
The paps will be all over me within the hour.
Look, I get why you guys are stressing about this, but just let me do this.
It's important.
Are we good to go? - Yeah.
- Yes.
Just give us a sec.
OK.
Maintain eye contact.
- Keep connected.
Keep your answers - Short and sharp.
Speak clearly.
Maintain open body language.
- If they ask you any questions about the injury - I had a collision in training.
It's the simplest answer with the least amount of questions.
You sure you can do this? - Once you go in there, I can't protect you.
- Kath, I've got this.
- OK.
- We good? - Yeah, we're good.
- Yep.
Go, Trav.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
(SCRAPES) Don't you have kids or shopping to do or something? Really don't have to be here.
Look, it was a high-as-shit rookie error to call you, but I'm OK, all right? - Just want to make sure - MAN ON TV: Ladies and gentlemen - that everything is - if you could please take your seats - Are you not listening? - I think we're ready to begin.
I'm fine.
Well, we had to move quickly.
Travis will, of course, report.
Well, you should have called me.
Thanks, everyone.
Travis, over to you.
I'd like to present the Southern Jets leadership group, our captain Connor Marrello and vice-captains Rusty O'Reilly and Liam Flynn.
OK.
Are you sure this is a good idea? They all share the same passion and drive - to lift the standard - I hit him and culture of the footy club.
in the face with a fucking glass.
the cohesion that comes from years of playing together.
Who the fuck does that? The boys are pumped and ready to get back out there, - and, um - WOMAN: Liam, what happened to your head? - Frisbee accident.
- (REPORTERS LAUGH) No.
It was a it was a collision in training.
Proof the Southern Jets are coming out with a bang.
(VARIOUS REPORTS SPEAK AT ONCE) - Let's turn it off.
- No! - Tahls! - Dallas! (BOTH LAUGH) - Mwah! - Mwah! I'm so glad you could squeeze us in at the last moment.
Well, it worked out perfectly.
We have pulled together a gorgeous intro.
Brand ambassador, owner of her own fragrance line.
We've got a few photos from the wedding.
Cheeky, I know.
How is Connor gearing up for the start of the season? Uh, you do know that we've broken up? Charlotte, I need new background on Tahls ASAP! Roger that.
Uh, Dallas, um, we're back in 10.
You know what? Ditch the intro.
No mention of Connor, footy, or the Southern Jets.
All you need to do is ask me, "What is Tahlia Woods releasing next?" - Yeah? - MAN ON RADIO: OK.
We're coming back live.
- Intro's gone.
- And five, four Welcome back, and thanks for joining us today.
We're here with the lovely Tahlia Woods.
(CHUCKLES) Now, Tahlia, I believe you have an exclusive announcement for us.
It's been something of a calling for me for a while now.
I mean, I've got a passion for fashion, Dallas, and releasing my very own swimwear collection is only the beginning of what's in store of Tahlia Woods.
Well, I am certainly excited.
Here I was thinking a podcast or a a toy version of you or a reality show, even.
- But swimwear - You were asking what my point of difference is.
- It's my face.
- Yeah.
Got that.
It's just, - it's the tail end of summer.
- I know.
I announced early, but this is a teaser campaign.
We get people interested and pumped, and then, boom! We release it, and then people will flock.
- OK.
Cool.
As long as you're sure it's the right time.
Listen, I had my own career before Connor.
So, what? I marry the guy and lose it all in the breakup? No, that's not going to happen.
The news of Connor and Annabelle could pop up at any moment, and I have to make sure that my wheels are in motion.
I have a meeting with my agent tonight - to make sure that our plan is in place.
- OK, but Are you OK? That's irrelevant.
Why are you in active wear? Oh, I've just been hanging out with Dan.
- What? - I've just been hanging out with Dan.
Uh, you're going to need to walk me through this.
- Ready? - Point your toes.
- Get ready.
- I'm ready.
Straight to me.
Just look at me! Look at me and Go on, run! I thought they paid you to be nimble! Off you go! - (GROANS) - (LAUGHS) - So, who suggested the park date? - Uh, it wasn't a date.
And Dan did.
It doesn't mean anything.
- We're mates.
- Mm-hmm.
All right.
Continue.
Whoo! (GROANS) I'm not moving.
- I'm going to go through the goal.
- No, no, no.
To me! - Yeah.
I'm going to go long.
- To me! - Paige! Paige! Paige! - I'm going to go long! (LAUGHING) Don't make me run! I can't! (LAUGHS) - All right.
Sit down, shut up, and listen to me.
- I am sitting down.
"Friends with Exes" by Tahlia Woods.
Was your full name really necessary? - Rule number one - Mm.
you can only be friends with your ex if you don't have all your emotional eggs in one basket.
Where are your eggs right now? They're firmly in my ovaries.
Thank you very much.
Well, rule number two: don't reply to his texts for 30 minutes.
Oh, that's ridiculous.
Rule number three: you have to be getting your sex elsewhere.
- I've had one-night stands.
- In this postcode? Uh! All right.
That's it.
You and I are going out tonight.
- Find you a man.
- (GROANS) That went well, considering.
Yeah.
Just keep an eye on the boys, yeah? Just want to keep all chat to a minimum.
- Yeah, of course.
- And, Trav, report it.
Or I will.
Hey, how's Kendall? I've texted her, - but I haven't heard back from her.
- She's OK.
She's with Maddy.
Look, I've booked you in for a session with the club psychologist tomorrow.
- Kath, that's really not necessary.
- It's not an option, OK? There's a protocol we have to follow.
Why don't you go home? - Go on.
- (PHONE RINGS) Hey.
Is everything OK? Yeah.
We Marie Kondo-ed her drugs.
Flushed them.
Well, I did, but she asked me to.
- I did thank them first, though.
- Good.
Well done.
- Is she OK? - Tired, emotional, but she wants the help.
She's been to rehab before, so she's a little bit scared, going back and forth a bit.
Your silence screams "not overly keen.
" No, no, no.
I am.
I am.
Just, - it needs to be done quietly.
- Agreed.
- That's why I could use your help in handling it.
- Of course.
Great.
This one? - Yes.
This thing.
- Really? - Hello, hello, hello.
- Hi! Uncle Rusty's here! - Hello.
Hi, bubba! - OK.
- Hi, mate.
- If you can get two spoonfuls in, I will carry your firstborn child.
- Done.
- We can play all the monsters.
All right.
What about one of these ones? - No? No? - Hey, how'd it go? I only saw grabs.
It was all right.
You know I hate those things.
Wow.
Look at that vice-captain glow.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you, Shane.
You were great.
Very, uh relaxed.
Really? Because I was, uh, screaming on the inside.
Ah, you're a natural.
Just deal with it, OK? - What? - He's cute, and he's totally into you.
Oh.
Well, it's just, I want to focus on the club, footy, and the kids.
And if anything else happens, then it happens.
You know you have to actually put yourself out there for it to happen, right? It's kind of hard to know who's genuine and who's not, you know? No.
It tries to mix them up.
We ordering? Collision at training, huh? If there's anything I can do to help You're not part of the club anymore.
I can still listen.
Mm.
That's a real help.
Look, I understand why you're upset.
No, I don't think you do.
Not taking that job was something I needed to do for me.
Not the club.
Not my family.
For me.
You've been doing that for the last 20 years.
Next item.
(DOOR OPENS) Ah.
Glad you could join us.
My apologies, everyone.
It won't happen again.
Sponsorship.
I'll give you a full rundown after my meeting with Nico's Brewing Company next week.
They're playing it cool, but they're very excited.
Alcohol? Uh, that's not something the club wants to be involved in, is it? Money, Kath.
- Can't afford to get sentimental.
- No.
I understand that.
Uh, the Doggies, for example, - last season, they didn't - Kath, right now, what this club needs is financial support.
And Nico's just sent through a very lucrative proposal.
Unfortunately, goodwill does not pay the bills.
OK.
We'll have to confirm a president before the season starts.
So, assuming no-one wants to contest Actually, I do.
You want to run for president? Well, that's what I just said, didn't I? TAHLIA: Tahlia Woods plus one for the launch.
- What's, uh what's going on? - With what? Uh, your face.
It's for the cameras.
You can't put a headline "Sad, single, and lonely" next to this.
OK.
If you say so.
Do you think you can work with this? Yeah.
It'll it'll do.
Good.
Got business to attend to.
- Hello, Bianca! - Hello! - Good to see you! - Come through.
All right.
Hi, hi, hi.
(LAUGHS) You guys, um, you might want to grab a drink.
She'll be a while, so WOMAN: One more.
- MAN: Gorgeous.
- And perfect.
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYS) What's a guy like you doing at a place like this? Uh, well, I, madam, am just, um - Hi! - Hello! (LAUGHS) I can understand your confusion.
This is not my native environment.
- No! - Uh, what what are you doing here? Oh.
Oh.
I'm, uh, I'm having a one-night stand.
Can't you tell? - Oh.
OK.
With who? - Ah.
Whoever I want.
I'm definitely going to need some help.
BRIAN: I told you I needed space from the club, that I needed time to heal.
And I heard you.
So then why are you doing this? This is about me, Brian.
You know how hard it was for me to step away from that team.
And I have been on that board for six months.
I've poured everything into that club for the last 20 years.
It's as much mine as it is yours.
And if I want to contest for the presidency, then I God damn will! I just thought, after a bit of time away, you and I could figure things out.
We've tried everything, Brian.
This just isn't working.
I'll move my flights earlier.
I'll be gone in a couple of days.
Another amazing launch.
I don't know how you do it.
(LAUGHS) Tears.
- Alcohol.
- Uh-huh.
Minimal sleep.
I saw you on TV this morning.
Yeah.
Look, I know it was a little earlier than we planned, but a spot came up last minute, and I made an executive decision.
Clearly the universe trying to tell me something.
So, I'm going to need money for the marketing and the research, and I'm thinking that we do, like, a big creative shoot, you know, to ramp up interest.
Loving the enthusiasm, but the investors want to stick to the original schedule.
Well, they're wasting time.
We need to go in hard, no lube.
- Pump out the next hit.
- Look, when you eventually launch, it's going to blow up, - create a media frenzy.
- That's already happening.
Yeah.
With the footy season about to start, Connor's face is everywhere.
Listen, I can say with absolute certainty that there is a clear separation between Connor and I.
It's been six months.
They want to wait a couple more, - give people time to forget.
- About Tahlia Woods? Well, it's working.
This guy.
He looks rugged.
- Wow! Built! - Yeah.
Like a like a man mountain, just waiting for you to climb him.
- Sounds like a lot of work.
- (LAUGHS) - Sorry.
Why are you here? - Oh.
Dorian's bucks night.
- My boy! - (LAUGHS) Whoo! Wow! You have some stylish mates! Thank you! - So, are you back in Melbourne for long? - Yeah, for good.
I got a job at St Helga's.
You got that job?! OK.
Dial down the surprise.
No.
Sorry, sorry.
It's just, everyone wanted that job.
Well, I wanted that job.
Hold on.
What about this guy? - Yeah! - I don't think I'm emotionally prepared for that.
All right.
You know what? We need to take a different angle here.
Whenever I pick up, I just stand in the middle of the dance floor and wait for someone to hit on me.
OK.
So you take the decision-making out of the equation.
And it works.
Oh, about 15% of the time.
Give or take.
- 15% is OK.
- Thank you.
Oh, no.
- OK.
- We're on.
- Yep.
- Let's get this party started! - Hey.
We need to talk.
- We sure do.
But first You were brilliant this morning.
- Really? - Yeah.
- With Liam's injury? - Confident, sexy.
Could have mounted the TV.
(LAUGHS) Uh, tell me she put her hand up on a whim and changed her mind.
What are you talking about? - Kath.
- Hmm? She's contesting John Menendi for president.
If she loses, she might not have a spot on the board anymore.
- Ah.
- I I need stability right now.
- Yep.
- I'm a new coach.
Has has she even thought about that? I I I can't lose her.
Mm.
I just have to make a quick call.
- Right now? - Yeah.
Just 10 minutes, tops.
Oh, she's having a midlife crisis.
She's going to implode.
She's always so planned and considered.
I always knew she was going to crack.
I mean, you cannot wear white linen pants and always have your shit together.
Are you guys free tomorrow? Jessie has suggested an emergency meeting.
Breakfast? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll bring the tissues.
OK.
Yep.
All done.
Fuck off.
- MAN: Tahlia.
- Hi! - Hey.
- What are you doing here? Uh, my friend's one of the creators of the app, so I'm just showing my support.
- Huh.
- You? My agent handles these guys.
Plus, um, my girlfriend's on a one-night stand mission.
No Kendall.
She's taking some time out tonight.
I'm just on my way home.
- Oh, no photos.
Thank you.
- No.
No.
No.
Cheers.
Sure.
- I - Uh, I've got to - Yeah, I - Yeah.
(LAUGHS) - Bye.
- See you.
(ALL CHEER) Yeah! (LAUGHING) Stop it! Oh, hey! VIP and treating you down here? - Yeah.
You remember Brody? - Hey! That guy would give you his kidney! - What? - Nothing! Hey, listen.
I'm going to go.
I've got an intervention first thing.
- Sorry.
Intervention? - Yeah.
I'll explain later.
Can't we stay for a bit longer? You can.
No.
I'm definitely I'm leaving with you.
No guy, no cab.
They're the rules, lady.
And I'm out.
Organ donor.
Tahlia.
- That was weird.
- Yeah.
I have to go.
What? No, no, no, no.
No.
If I don't leave now, I'm walking home, and London was expensive, man.
- (GROANS) - Do you need me to be the guy? Because I can be the guy.
Not not, like not, like, that guy.
Just, like, you know, a guy.
And you could make me tea and tell me about London.
Earplugs are going in.
There could be a fight.
You could be calling my name, and I won't be able to hear you.
That that's not comforting.
Anyway, Brody's a friend.
It's past 11pm.
Friend or no friend (SLAPS) it's naked time.
- Please leave.
- OK.
Night, Brody.
Oh.
Night, Tahlia.
All right.
Hit me.
Whole trip.
Photos, stories, number of times you vomited.
- (LAUGHS) - Where.
What colour it was.
I want it all.
What happens in Europe stays in Europe.
And in this room.
- Settle in.
- Mm-hmm.
Let's do it.
(CLEARS THROAT) - OK.
- Oh, yeah.
Full tourist mode.
Yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
How long did it take you to - Hours.
- Yeah.
OK.
(LAUGHS) Mm-hmm.
Ah, beautiful.
Ah.
Early days? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
Your eyes are pure terror.
Eh! It settled! (LAUGHS) Uh, and and you guys, uh Um, just friends.
Right.
Like, um, fresh out of a breakup, one-night stand rebound mission friends, or ? No, like, spent time apart, ready to move on kind of friends.
Right.
- Um - Um oh, gosh.
I should actually get going, so Uh, do you want me to order you a No.
I'll just grab a um on the app.
- It'll just be here in five minutes.
- OK.
Awesome.
Yep.
OK.
Great.
- Night! - Goodnight! (PHONE RINGS) Good morning.
MADDY: Hello.
Um, how was your morning? Relaxing.
Yours? Good.
Yeah.
Great! Hey, um, I was thinking that maybe on our way to visit Kendall this morning, we could, um, drop in on Jessie.
- Trav knows.
- Yep.
We just want to make sure you're OK.
Yep.
Be there in an hour.
I mean, it's a bold move, but nothing about that woman surprises me anymore.
Yeah.
I mean, I think she'd be a great president.
Uh, Jessie? Um, somebody's been left behind.
(GASPS) Oh! What do you say? - Thanks, Shane.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- OK, OK, OK, OK, OK.
I'm, uh, looking forward to our date.
(LAUGHS) - Yeah.
- All right.
It's one date in the afternoon and then you just come home, and you tell me everything! Just because we're both single does not mean that we're the perfect match.
Dude, I was married to your boyfriend.
I know exactly what you like.
Hey, you needed a push.
Huh.
All right.
Well, if I do this, then you've got to get back out there, too.
She just came out of me four months ago.
Yeah.
I'm talking about training.
Yeah, yeah.
Hey, don't think I haven't noticed you watching the replays of the women's matches, hmm? I don't know if I'm ready, Rus.
Oh, and you think I am? - Yeah? - Yeah.
You friend-zoned your one-night stand.
I'm sorry.
I just cannot get past that.
Ah, it's more of a slow burn.
Like, a slow burn.
It's a one-night stand.
It's like a sparkler.
You light it, and it burns hard and fast, and then it's out.
(LAUGHS) I'm just trying to figure out if I want to light it or not.
Not part of the exercise.
(KNOCKS) Someone's got some explaining to do.
Hi.
Technically, I don't have the experience.
Uh, he doesn't have any long-term strategy for the club.
He wants to bring on an alcohol sponsor.
He is fiscally aggressive, and that's what they need right now.
Not at the expense of the club's integrity.
No! And I've been part of that club for years! I know that place inside and out, which is a lot more than John can say.
What if you lose? If John Menendi is named president, then I'll just be resigning anyway.
At least this way, I'll leave knowing I tried.
Well, I think you got a chance.
Yeah.
You practically run that club.
God knows you'd do a better job than Andrew.
That's for sure.
Plus, no-one can work a room like you.
Well, thank you for saying that.
OK.
When is it? We're taking you out after.
Friday, 3pm.
- In the calendar.
- Thank you all.
- I really appreciate it.
- (PHONE RINGS) I know how busy you all are.
I'm sorry.
I'm going to have to take this.
Jermaine, hi! Thank you so much for calling me back.
It's worse than we thought.
I'm going to clear the diary for Friday afternoon.
Uh-huh.
Child care.
Hang on.
Sorry.
Wait.
What? You don't think she's got a shot? She's incredible.
But her chances Zero.
Club presidents are usually - businesspeople or lawyers.
- And men.
Mads has a better chance of becoming president.
Huh.
It's true.
(MEN SHOUT INDISTINCTLY) Clean it up! Clean it up! (MEN SHOUT INDISTINCTLY) (BLOWS WHISTLE) (MEN SHOUT INDISTINCTLY) (LIAM LAUGHS) If you don't mind.
- Hey.
- G'day, mate.
You got a sec? Yeah.
What's going on with Flynn? What do you mean? His attitude at training.
That gash on his forehead.
We're handling it.
I saw Kath talking to him after the presser.
Mate, just put your head down and focus on what you got to do.
You know? OK Coach.
- This should do the trick.
- Ah! Liquid life! Thanks, legend.
So, I take it, um, Tahlia's launch was fun? Free drinks, tiny food.
Yeah.
I, uh, I enjoy that stuff a lot more when a media wall is not involved.
(PHONE BEEPS) You all good? Uh yeah.
I just What what what's the go here, this this friendship thing? Any topics off-limits? Uh, I'm going to need more words, please.
What if I wanted to talk about boy stuff? Sure.
Um, so, I went out last night with the sole purpose of having a one-night stand, and I brought someone home.
How's that make you feel? It's it's a lot.
It's too much.
It's it's too much.
(LAUGHS) No.
No.
No.
It's No.
It's it's fine.
I didn't have sex with him.
I didn't even kiss him.
- OK.
That makes me feel better.
- But I think I wanted to.
- Ah.
- Is that the line? Did I just I just found the It's it's right there.
Well, why why didn't you? Do you like this guy? He's nice and funny.
- Does he play footy? - No.
That's pretty much my checklist right there.
(CHUCKLES) Well, you should have just kissed him.
It's just a kiss.
- KATH: How did Kendall sound? - Open, ready to talk.
So we'll just walk them through some options.
Well, I'm going to follow your lead.
Kath, Maddy.
Hey, Liam.
How are you? Yeah, good.
Thanks.
You here to see Kendall? You look better.
Well, I'm I still feel like a ball of shit, but I'm hating myself just a little less, so - I'm glad.
- Yeah.
Thanks again.
It wasn't our best night.
Kendall and I talked about a few options.
- Part-time, full-time treatment.
- Rehab? You hated it.
This time, I'm for real.
There's an excellent full-time facility.
It's very discreet.
We haven't talked about this yet, Maddy.
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
I thought - Would you two like some time alone? - Yeah.
That'd be great.
- No, no.
I'm going.
You serious? It's one of the best in the country.
- She'll be in very safe hands.
- When are you leaving? Today.
It's all good, yeah? Yes.
I'll just make a few calls.
I need to sort my shit out.
Love you, babe.
I love you.
Ah, I've just been so delayed with the Warner case over here.
If I'm not there in five minutes, conference me in.
(PHONE RINGS) Yep.
Be quick.
I'm running late.
Right-o.
Um, how'd you go? Did you talk Kath out of it? What? Yeah.
Uh, yeah.
No.
She's still running.
And her position on the board? - Yeah.
She's happy to risk it.
- (CHIMES) Oh, shit.
It's the office.
- Did you tell her what I said? - Babe, I've got to go.
Does she know how important this is to me? Travis, I'm at work.
I can't talk about this now.
I've been dealing with Kendall all morning.
I'll talk to you when I get home.
(BEEPS) A five-game membership package.
Yeah, for people who can't afford the full season.
Well, exactly, Phil.
I agree.
Invest more time in the Jack Davies Foundation.
With a player like Flynn, we should be capitalising on it.
(DOOR OPENS) Oh, hi.
I'd just like to confirm my reservation for this evening.
I've always admired you, Bob.
You play hardball, but you always keep the interests of the club first, integrity intact.
I think you and I both know that you have a lot of sway with the board.
People trust you.
Well, I have been here a long time, and I've seen a few presidents come and go.
As have I.
(CHUCKLES) But I've also sat idly by and watched things happen that shouldn't have.
I won't be doing that again.
Mm.
Well, an alcohol sponsor was not my preferred choice, but these are hard times, Kath.
Mm, but I think on some occasions, you and I have shared a silent but similar opinion on John's choices.
I think that we need to cultivate the next generation of Southern Jets.
I'm thinking training camps in schools, a long-term strategy that actively engages the younger community, which is why I have managed to convince whatevs.
com to match the sponsorship funding being offered by Nico's Brewery.
All the financial support without the loss of integrity.
Mm.
And how does Brian feel about all this? (CHUCKLES) Bri and I, we support each other entirely.
I've always liked you, Kath.
You're strong.
You're intelligent.
- You're ambitious.
- (LAUGHS) But if I'm going to be honest, I don't think you're the right person for the job.
On paper, maybe not.
But on the ground, I've been taking care of the interests of this club for years.
Do you mean your behind-the-scenes business? What do you mean? Liam's head injury.
Did you cover that up? That's been reported to Player Welfare.
And getting Kendall Pereira into rehab were you involved in that too? JOHN: Kendall was papped entering rehab.
We thought we could buy the photos, but they're going to publish tomorrow.
Why wasn't I told about this? Didn't think you needed to know.
OK.
What's their angle? Well, they're questioning if Liam lied at the press conference, if there's a link between Kendall's admission and Liam's injury.
It looks like we covered up a drug-related injury.
We will, of course, issue a statement confirming that Liam had a collision at training.
- Thank you.
- That's not going to happen.
Excuse me? Well, the only person who covered for Liam's injury is Liam.
Well, you're fucking kidding me.
You made the call on this.
And I was wrong, and it stops here.
You let me go out there, Kath.
I told you if you went out there that I couldn't protect you.
You had your own PR.
You have your own manager.
I'm sorry.
The club will do everything in its power to protect you, but we will never lie for you.
Kath, this is so not your call.
You release that statement, and I'll personally out you as a liar.
And, John, I won't be discreet with the board about your instincts on this.
OK! I am going to need you to move all of this - into the playrooms! - KID: Yes, Mum! (GASPS) Ow! Ah! Make sure you get every piece! Yes, Mum.
Oh, you were up early.
Yeah.
I couldn't sleep.
Thought we were going to talk last night.
Well, I got caught up at work.
Yeah.
I'm sorry I bit your head off.
Thank you.
But I'm not Kath.
I can't have clients waiting just because something happened at the club.
Well, I would never ask you to do that! But sometimes, I just feel like our lives are consumed by football.
You and the kids always come first.
(SIGHS) This is the first time that we have been alone together, conscious, all week.
No.
We had a date Thursday night.
No.
I got home late, and you fell asleep.
The club can be our focus.
I just I just need a balancing act of French toast Sundays.
Noted.
RUSTY: So, how long do I have to be there for? Well, you're not drinking, so I'd say, like, an hour.
Whatever that is in barefoot bowls.
Mm.
That was an interesting choice, by the way.
Yeah.
I haven't been on a date in a while.
I like this.
I like this shirt.
Yeah.
It was, uh, Jack's favourite.
The man had good taste.
Go.
You're going to be late.
All right.
I'm going.
But you know what that means.
(LAUGHS) Go the Southern Jets! Losing sight of my Own desire Too many opinions To make a decision Block out the noise Hold on to my voice At the end of the day They're going to say what they want to say At the end of the day They're going to do what they want to do Don't want my life to just slip by So this time I'm going to do it my way At the end of the day Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh I'm I'm serious.
I've actually never been to a to a live game.
I just assumed you were a hard-out Southern Jets fan.
Oh, less Jets and more (PHONE CHIMES) Wow.
You're, uh, really blowing up the phone there.
Yeah.
Sorry.
It's Jess.
Does she want this to happen a little more than you do? Look, I kind of thought there was, um, something here, but if you're not into it, that's that's fine.
No.
It's just, I haven't done this in a while.
- Oh, yeah.
I I could tell.
- Hey, look.
I think you're awesome, man.
And I really, really like hanging out with you.
But I'm not sure if I'm ready to date.
OK.
Well, I better call the celebrant and tell him the wedding's off.
Mum's going to be devastated.
- Don't be a dick.
- I'm just going to I'm stoked to be spending time with you.
It it really doesn't have to be any more than that.
Plus, um, you got some serious tickets on yourself.
I'm not even sure I'm into this you yet.
- (DOOR OPENS) - JESSIE: Hello? MADDY: We're in here! - (CLOSES) - Any word on Kath? Not yet.
While we're waiting, there is something that I want to speak to you guys about.
I'm sure you've all heard that Connor is now seeing someone new.
Yeah.
No.
Pretty sure we're the only ones across that.
Yeah.
Well, regardless, I understand if I fall off the invite list.
I know it's not personal.
It's just the way it is.
- Um, what are you talking about? - That is not going to happen.
Yeah, exactly! I'm not dating Dan anymore, and I'm still invited to everything.
Tahlia, I don't give a shit - if Connor's seeing someone else.
- I know, but it's gonna get weird when he starts inviting Annabelle to things.
OK.
Well, if that happens, we'll just sort it out.
You're our friend.
Inner sanctum.
Regardless of who you're dating.
You are always welcome here.
I was really hoping you guys would say that.
Because if you didn't, I was going to have to delete you - off my VIP list.
- Oh.
Well, there was always going to be consequences.
- Sure.
- (PHONE CHIMES) Is that her? - Mm not Kath.
Rusty.
- Oh.
He's on a date.
- Oh.
- Oh! Oh, it's a very big moment.
We're both getting back in the game, him with men and me with, uh (GASPS) You're going to get back into training! - That's the plan.
- Oh, man.
Cool.
This is getting ridiculous.
WOMAN ON TV: turn of events.
The board have just finished their meeting, and Kath Rickards has been voted in as the first female president of the Southern Jets.
KATH: I thought at least one of you would have backed me.
- Is this real? - Yep! You bet your ass.
Congratulations! Wow! You are incredible! - Queen Kath for president.
- Thank you.
I've got to go.
What? Why? Sorry.
Where are you going? To reclaim what's mine.
(CHUCKLES) Hey! How'd it go? Was I right? Tell me everything.
It went really - well.
- Ah! Are you going to see him again? - That's all you're getting.
- What? What do you mean? Look, thank you for the push.
I needed it.
But I can take it from here, OK? Now, what about you? Is Georgie still asleep? Mm-hmm.
Snoring.
Do you mind watching JJ a bit longer? Yeah.
Don't look back - (PHONE BUZZES) - Don't look down I see my failure I see my fear - - Wrestled to the ground Now out of control Oh, the weakness Oh, the sorrow You will know what to do When the moment comes You will know what to do When the moment comes Aching heart I saw my vision When I walked the path I don't feel qualified To tell anything To take the light - (KNOCKS) - And make it sing You will know what to do - Paige.
Hi.
- Hi.
Um, come in.
When the moment comes You will know what to do When the moment comes You will know what to do When the moment comes You will know what to do All right.
See you.
When the moment comes - Take you away - What? From your heart Take you away from your heart.
I thought you'd be gone by now.
I'm cutting it a bit fine.
But I wanted to see you.
You've been saving that for years.
20 years.
But this is a special occasion.
You are going to do an incredible job.
Thank you.
(GLASSES CLINK) Bye.
If I go there with Brody, it's a step.
- Mm.
Sex means relationship with that guy.
- Exactly.
It's great seeing you again.
(GLASSES CLINK) Oh.
I thought you were a travelling salesperson.
Or is that something you've been doing since my son left you? I left him.
Hey.
Just so you know, Annabelle's coming to the lunch.
I am so pleased that Connor finally invited you.
Uh, I'm so pleased I could finally make it.
You should come train with us some time.
She can have an Eastern Dragons one when I sign with them.
As long as you're cool sleeping with the enemy.
Well, it is such a delight to see all of you here today on this, our first game back for the season! (ALL CHEER) Yeah.
You're sounding a lot like Andrew Macleish right now.
Fuck you, Jessie.
