The press release for our new vintner.
- Mysterious
- I can't wait to see the look on their faces
when they see just who we've got
planned for taking over the reins.
We need to talk about the pickers.
So I was wondering whether we could try
- and get some WWOOFERS in?
- Dogs?
Willing Workers On Organic Farms.
maybe you considered
that you may be in
- menopause
- Oh.
No. No.
We don't use the "M" word.
- I came out.
- Oh !
Gus likes his life simple.
And you've just invited
600,000 followers into it.
Ah, I've never cared about
someone like this before.
It can't have been easy, my
whole family under one roof,
given what hap well, what nearly
what nearly happened between us.
I mean, that wasn't even a thing.
- Honestly.
- No.
I really don't think that you and Mum
are happy together anymore.
Is it Daisy?
No, no. It's not Daisy.
It's me.
Two strong heartbeats.
We're having twins.
Oh! Oh!
I love grapes!
Great!
They speak to me.
Ah, the job is pretty simple.
Um, we're we're a couple
of weeks away from harvest,
and we need some extra hands.
Um, it it is quite a physical job
Okay.
Ah, I know some of the
other vineyards are
are probably paying more
Oh, no. All I need is
a hot meal and a bed.
Although I do struggle to sleep alone
Right. Well, um
Ah, we'll be in touch.
Who the bloody hell are they?
What?
School holidays are almost over.
Oh, Jay. I know.
It's gonna be, ah
difficult to go back to London.
- Oh, not for me.
- Oh?
I have to look after Mum.
Well, that's lovely, Jay.
And you have to stay here.
- I do.
- Because of the vineyard.
- Yes.
- And Daisy.
And Daisy. No, no.
Not "and Daisy."
Who the bloody hell are these people?
Good morning.
Good morning.
- What happened to the barkers?
- WWOOFERS.
And most people have already
got their work for the season.
Look, we already talked about this.
We can't wait any longer.
We have to hire as
many people as we can,
and just hope that the
bank will come to the party.
Well, what if they don't?
Well, if we don't pick enough grapes,
we can't make enough wine.
Daisy, wewill pick enough grapes.
- We don't even know how!
- Look, Tippy will teach us.
- Oh, Louis
- No. There is no other option.
Yeah. You're right, because
we've already decided.
No. What we've decided is
to make decisions together.
- Yes, but you haven't been here!
- Oh, right.
So I go away for the weekend to
spend some time with my son
Um as much as I'd love
to see Mummy and Daddy fight,
I've got workers to find.
She just wants to feel appreciated.
He just wants to be
included. Are we good?
Yep.
Look, we we didn't want to worry you
with everything that you've
got going on, you know?
- With your family
- Look, Daisy.
You're my family too.
Um, I-I mean
We all are.
family, um, of of of friends.
We're a
Oh, we're a we're a
We're a family of of friends.
This isn't going to be fun or easy.
Then why are we doing it?
You start with a wide
stance and a loose wrist.
Way ahead of you.
And then you cup the grapes gently.
Because why?
Ah, bruised fruit makes bad wine!
At least someone is listening.
- Okay, when you slice
- Hey, it's Nic!
Hi.
Hope I'm not interrupting.
- Ha.
- Well
No, no. Stay, stay.
Please, stay.
Ah, you ready to go for that walk?
- Oh, yes. About that, um
- Hey, Gus
you been straddling any
hot lumps of metal lately?
Like a tractor
You know, because of the
The hot tractor guy thing ?
I deleted that post.
Oh, yeah. But it's still online
Ah, actually, I've Um, yeah.
I forgot we've we've
got that thing we have to
- We do?
- Yeah, yeah. The thing.
- We have to go.
- What?
- Bye.
- Bye.
Gus doesn't know that the
photo is still out there.
What? He doesn't know?
But that photo has gone viral.
- Shhh.
- But, no.
I thought, ah, Griffin deleted it.
No, well. Not before it made its way
onto Twitter, Reddit, Tik Tok
Look, Gus is hotter
than Timothée Chamalet
and Benedict Cumberbatch
all, like, jammed together!
Which is actually a
whole other level of hot,
when you think about it.
Are we doing this?
Because you made quite
a big deal about it. So
Yep. We are doing it. Thanks, Tippy.
Are we sure he doesn't know that?
Oh, Gus thinks that social media
is some kind of communicable disease.
- Well, he's got a point.
- Mm.
Oh. Should I talk to him?
Ah, no. No. I wouldn't. Mnh-mnh.
Um, yeah. No, no.
We wouldn't want it
to come between them.
- No. No.
- I mean, at least someone
is having some fun around this town.
If you know what I mean. Ha.
- Yeah, yeah. I got that.
- 'Cause between you and me,
ever since my rumpus room
got turned into a kids' room,
Vic has been treating it
like a dusty old attic.
Oh. Do you know what, maybe we should
- go for that walk?
- Okay. Bye.
Right
Tippy. Where were we?
He must have missed his flight.
Well, I guess that's the thing
about award-winning French vintners.
They don't bother
themselves with minor details
like flight times or
returning phone calls
from their new employers.
No.
Though he was very specific
about the non-refundable
deposit on his contract.
He'll be here.
Isn't this nice?
Ah Yes.
It's Oh, it's so nice.
I'm sorry.
I just needed to get out of the house.
- Oh.
- Vic Vic is either
playing Bach to the babies
or he's force-feeding me lentils.
And I'm not allowed to do anything.
I'm not a complete invalid.
Whoa. Just a little bit of one.
Yeah. But he loves you.
I know. And I'm not complaining.
- Mm.
- I'm so lucky.
I I never thought
I'd be here, you know?
Mm. I know.
Did you ever want to have ?
Oh. No.
- No.
- Oh.
Oh. Maybe I'm selfish, but
I never really wanted kids, you know?
I loved my life exactly the way it was.
Is. I love my life.
Ah, sorry. I shouldn't
have brought it up.
Especially now that you're in menopause.
Oh. No, no.
It's fine.
Besides, I-I get to be
a a heart parent. Right?
Mm. Yeah. With Louis
together.
Maybe even more together
- now that he's single.
- Mm.
No. No, no.
Louis and I are just friends.
We are.
Only because he broke
up with Simone again
five seconds ago!
But once he gets over that
- No.
- Really?
Well, once upon a time, maybe,
we could have been a thing.
But
there's too much water
under the bridge and
I'm nobody's second choice.
- Yeah.
- My life is great
exactly the way it is.
Are you Are you sure
you don't want to sit down?
Oh, don't you start.
Oh, okay.
Just below the nodule,
slip the blade under,
and cut cleanly away from yourself
and that's it!
Great.
Thank you.
Yeah. Bye.
Sorry about that.
- What?
- Well, no.
I've just had a call from
the, ah, the organizers of,
ah, "Taste of the South."
Do you Do you know it?
Some fancy Queenstown festival?
Yes. Very fancy. Very prestigious.
There's a big public festival.
There's a conference for wine makers.
And And this year, to headline,
they are putting together a panel
of award-winning international vintners.
Now, Tippy, I know you
don't love public speaking,
but it could be a great
opportunity for you
to practice to really free yourself
Okay.
What?
You're right. I need the practice.
Right.
Great.
Look, ah, I think it could be,
ah, could be could be a lot of fun.
And-and-and the panel is all about,
ah, cultural approaches,
ah, to to winemaking,
and you'll be able to
talk all about your
your Maori heritage, and
and what really fires you
No.
What?
I'll talk about wine.
But not the other stuff.
- Can we get back to it?
- Ah, yeah.
Yeah. Yes, of course.
- Hi, all!
- Ah
Hope I'm not interrupting.
No, Vic.
Not at all. What can we do for you?
I need a lawyer.
Are you going to tell him, or shall I?
No. I mean a real lawyer.
Me? No, no, no. I-I've
been struck off, Vic.
- Remember?
- No, no.
No, no. I understand.
It's not that urgent.
I'm just getting sued, that's all
for two mil.
She took it hard.
Oh.
When you said we had a thing
Yeah. Oh, this is it. This is the thing.
What's so thing-y about it?
Ah, it's a date in public.
So that's a thing, isn't it?
I mean, it's a thing for me, I guess.
I had a dream about you last night.
Oh, did you just?
Yeah.
You took me to the Oscars.
Oh. Wow.
- Ha.
- Yeah.
All I remember is thousands
of cameras flashing,
and me screaming.
Oh, my God!
He said you lived here.
Can I get your autograph?
Sure. Yeah.
The old, ah, um,
ah, that's hey, um
Hey, what about a selfie instead?
Hey, Gus, can you just order something?
Just you?
Yeah. Oh, he gets a little shy.
- Oh. Okay.
- Yeah. Quick question.
Where'd you get that from?
Oh, there's a kid up
the street selling them.
30 bucks for a homegrown
Internet sensation?
Come on.
- Ah, just no.
- Fine.
- 25.
- No, no.
You You You bin these shirts.
You pull them, okay?
- I know people.
- Like who?
You gonna get Nicole
Kidman to come beat me up?
Yeah. Yeah. Maybe I will. Maybe I will.
- 200 bucks for the lot.
- 1,000.
Wait. No. I could buy
them individually for less.
- 250.
- 1,500.
This is not this
is not how you haggle!
- Who's haggling? 2,000.
- Just Okay.
Stop. Fine, fine.
Let's just you
get rid of these, okay?
Forget about Hot Tractor
Guy, and I'll, um,
I'll I'll I'll
I'll give you an interview
on your radio show.
New Zealand exclusive?
World exclusive. Just
put those in the bin.
Pleasure doing business with you.
Yeah, yeah.
I guess we should
keep going?
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
- Although
- Yeah. I I am a bit pooped.
Yeah.
- Whew.
- Actually, I'm a lot pooped.
Yeah.
- Actually I'm a bit sore.
- Yeah.
Yeah. My My legs feel
like concrete blocks.
They're sort of hot
and cold, at the same.
Nic?
Hey, hey. Are you all right?
No. No.
Oh. What? You got cramps?
Hang on. Hang on.
Oh there's no reception.
Oh! What are we gonna do?
Well, you just just wait here.
- I'll go get some help.
- No, no, no, no.
You can't leave me. Please.
Okay, well, here, sit down. Sit down.
- Oh!
- Sit down.
Put your back against the rock.
I'm here, okay?
Just take some Just
take some deep breaths.
Okay. Look, breathe in.
And out.
In, out.
What's this called?
A wine thief.
What's it called in Maori?
I don't know.
What's this in Maori?
You are Maori, though?
My dad said you were.
But "Bidois" is French, right?
Yeah. I'm Maori.
Then how come you don't
know the Maori words?
- I just don't.
- I get it.
My friend Gabriel, his
parents are from Brazil,
but he doesn't speak Spanish.
They speak Portuguese in Brazil.
Right. No. My point is
is that you don't have
to be weird about it.
I'm not weird!
Let's get some lunch.
Nic, I need to see if you
can stand for me, okay?
I don't think I can.
We're going to walk down the road.
- No. I can't.
- Yes, you can. I promise.
Oh.
Doctor David!
Ah
She, ah, she just doubled over in pain.
Deep breathing, all right?
There's no need to panic just yet.
Let's have a look.
Okay.
Do you know if you've got any spotting?
- I haven't been.
- You haven't?
- No.
- Okay. That's good.
Right.
You're doing well. You're doing okay.
- So I'm gonna go get my truck
- Mm.
come back, and we'll
take you to the surgery.
- Okay.
- All right?
- Yep.
- Good.
You look like a calming influence.
I'm gonna be back in a minute.
You've got this.
Vic, you're going to be fine.
It was an accident.
How was I supposed to know
there was already a wine
called "Love Goats,"
owned by a very large,
very litigious
international corporation?
Ooh. I could have Googled it.
Ah, yes. Possibly, possibly you could.
But, you know, as long as you
agree to rename the wine
I only called it that
in honor of Nic's amazing creations.
Oooh. Maybe I could rename it The Twins?
Well, we'll come
we'll come back to that.
The thing is, we're here today
to get you out of this, right?
As long as you stick to the plan.
I just don't understand why
I can't talk to them nicely.
Because Vic, in this
world, nice equals weak,
and these people prey on the weak.
I should know, I used to
I used to be one of them.
Look, if I could lead
the meeting, I would.
- But
- practicing law,
once been disbarred for
walking naked through London,
is a criminal offense?
Well, that's not actually
why I was, ah, disbarred, Vic.
And I was I was
I was actually running.
But, no. That's good, that's good.
You're sounding like a a real lawyer.
- Ah.
- Hi.
Hi.
Gidday!
No, Vic. We're going that way.
Ah, yep.
- Ready?
- Yep.
So that's two sets
of healthy heartbeats.
Then what's wrong?
Maybe we could talk in private.
Anything you can say to me,
you can say in front of Daisy.
Okay. Ah, could you bring your knees
to your chest for me, please?
Mm.
Yep. Now give yourself a nice tight hug.
Mm
Ah, why am I
Oh.
Oh
lentils
Look, I am gonna need to change GPs.
Oh
Or towns.
I hear Iceland is
nice this time of year.
- He didn't mind.
- He was being polite.
Well, I'm just glad it
wasn't anything serious.
I think I'm more worried about
this than I thought I was.
That's what you've got us for.
- Mm.
- Ladies?
You forgot this.
Thanks.
Yeah. Um, I never had a chance
to properly introduce myself.
- I'm David.
- Oh. Daisy.
Oh, you're Stanley's daughter.
Oh. Step-daughter, yep.
Oh, right. Well, he was a lovely guy.
Terrible wine.
Well, we're working on that.
Yeah. So I hear.
Ah, so, actually,
I'm gonna meet of mine tonight
who owns a couple of
bars in Queenstown and
I don't know if you
need a stockist or
- Always.
- Oh, really?
- Mm.
- Oh, great.
So if you're not doing
anything, you should come.
- Oh, okay.
- Great.
- Great.
- Ah, Nic has got my number.
- Yes.
- Okay, good.
Yeah, ah that's great.
Oh, it's just a business thing.
Oh.
My client wishes to
inform your client that
he is willing in this instance to,
ah, relinquish all
control of said property,
and re-label his wine at his own cost,
as full and final
settlement of this matter.
Your client?
Well, me.
My client has wasted
considerable time and energy
on this case.
How would your client address that?
I could buy him a beer.
- Let's talk damages.
- Ooh, ah
the thing is, I don't
really have any money.
Oh, actually. No, I do.
I've got about 20K
saved away at the moment.
- But
- Ah, Vic, I
That's actually for the baby.
You see, Nic's parents gave us 10K,
but that's not nearly
enough to look after twins.
That's no, no, no, no.
That's That's great.
Great, thanks. We've, ah No, we've
We've tried it your way. Right.
First things first. Now,
as you operate on retainer,
this meeting isn't
costing your client a cent.
And as your job is to
take away headaches,
rather than to cause
them, I'm willing to bet
that you haven't even told
your client this case exists.
So, ah, we've got two options.
Either you can, ah,
settle things here and now,
leaving your client
in blissful ignorance,
or you can spend months in litigation
fighting for about the
same amount of money
that your client would normally
spend on lunch in Aspen,
whilst we make sure the combined weight
of the New Zealand media
unites against you
because let's face it,
there's nothing this country
loves more than an underdog.
And I'm sure it'll do
wonders for your sales.
Our offer expires, ah,
when we leave the room.
Right then.
Wait.
They've rescheduled
the agricultural show.
Ooh. I must tell Wanda.
Right.
Where are you going?
To get our old vintner back.
Philippe will be here.
That may be so.
But if he's this unreliable
There's plenty of good
winemakers in the
Don, it it has to be him.
Just because Oakley has Tippy,
doesn't mean that we need
What's that?
Don.
Look.
Is that smoke?
It's smoke!
What is a yurt doing in my vineyard?
Philippe?
I am come.
- Oh!
- You come late.
I was early. I have
been, ah, evaluating.
And how did we do?
Your wine is a song.
Oh. Thank you.
But this wine
is a symphony.
You did not tell me you were losers.
- We're not.
- Oh, no.
Think of us, um, an orchestra
in need of a conductor.
Welcome to Shimmering
Lake, Philippe Bidois.
You know staring is rude.
You started it.
Are most people a bit scared of you?
- I hope so.
- Huh.
Why? Aren't you?
Guess I'm used to it.
When my dad was a lawyer, my
mum was angry all the time.
I'm not angry all the time.
Neither was Mum.
She was actually just lonely.
I'm sorry I upset you
before.
My mother is Maori.
She wasn't close with her family, so
neither am I.
- Mm.
- That's why I can't speak it.
What about your dad's family?
I don't know.
France
somewhere.
That's where I got the name Bidois.
So my grandfather moved from there
to the North Island, met my grandmother.
And he died when I was 14.
Is that where your family lives?
You ask a lot of questions.
I know.
They moved to the Gold
Coast when I was 16, and
I didn't really want to go.
Mm.
And none of that is
anyone's business but mine,
so don't go spreading it. Okay?
Ah, I still don't get why
they needed to take a selfie
so far away from the table?
Yeah. Fans.
Oh, okay. Thank God. So
Ah. No, no. Wait. Me first.
Me first.
Is that a date?
Who's David?
"I'll pick you up at
7:00" is a date, right?
Especially if we're going to a bar
even though it is to meet a stockist,
and he did say that Nic is welcome too.
It's a date, though, right?
- What?
- Do you want it to be a date?
No. No, no. I Well, yeah, ah, no.
I just need to know whether
he thinks it is, that's all.
- Oh.
- Oh, you're you're no help.
Give it back.
What's your thing?
Okay, so Rowan I shut it down, but
look.
Oh. Oh.
- I know.
- Oh. Well
he's gonna find out eventually.
You can't control that.
What you can control, though,
is how you deal with it.
And that will make all the
difference to how he reacts.
So what are you going to do?
So, I'll just I
guess I'll have to, um
Yeah. I'll just have
to shower him with gifts
so he falls madly in love with me,
so by the time he finds out,
then he's in too deep to dump me.
Oh, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no.
That's the opposite
of what I was saying.
- No. Oh, Griff
- Love you, Daisy.
Oh, hey. Um, that one
not that one.
Oh.
It's a date, though, right?
Mate.
- I owe you.
- Oh.
- Come on.
- Ooh. Seatbelt.
You don't owe me.
It was actually pretty fun.
Mm.
Do you miss it?
Um
Do you know what?
I don't.
I don't.
Hi.
Hi.
Sorry I, ah, missed your call.
Oh. No.
It turns out it was a very
windy storm in a teacup.
Ah, Daisy. About this morning
Mm-hmm. What about it?
Well, ah, look.
I know it's, ah
things have been messy.
Mm. Yes.
Well, show me a middle-aged man
who doesn't come with baggage.
Ah, says the women with
four sets of luggage?
Um, it's one set of four sizes.
And I'd like to see you pack a
weekender into an overnighter.
No, what I said this
morning about, um
well, about family.
Um, well, I-I meant it.
Oh.
And, um
Oh, ah.
Just a sec.
- It's Vic.
- Oh. It's Nic.
- Hi. Everything all right?
- Hi, Vic.
- Ah, no. I haven't read it.
- No. It's not something I read.
- Who?
- Who?
Bidois.
- As in
- Yeah. I get it.
- Do you know him?
- Didn't even know
- he existed.
- Oh.
Maybe he just has the same name as me?
Tippy, another winemaker named Bidois?
Not that we want you to worry.
Why would I worry?
Well, some of us don't
think there's any reason to.
And some of us think this is a strategy.
What kind of strategy?
Well, I haven't figured that out yet.
Look, there's no mystery here.
Marissa wanted a Bidois.
She couldn't get the best,
so she settled for a French knock-off.
Well, oh, okay. So he's not a knock-off.
Apparently he's the youngest
ever vintner to win gold
at the Paris Wine Cup.
And how do you feel about that?
I feel nothing.
See? She's fine.
She's fine.
Okay, so I know you
think you know everywhere
in Peak View, Gussy.
But I'm pretty sure you
don't know this place.
- Is it "Thistle Do?"
- Oh, damn it.
You do know it.
I've never been here, though.
Ta-da!
- It's lovely.
- Mm
Hey. You're lovely.
Apparently, the woman
who runs it is awesome.
Dinner is 7:30.
Not 7:25, not 7:40.
We're having steak.
The vegetarian option is steak.
And tonight is comedy night.
We'll be playing the box
set of "Fawlty Towers"
in the parlor.
Here are your rooms.
Oh. We only booked one room.
We don't have rooms
with twin beds in them.
Well, we don't need twin beds.
But there's two of you.
Ah, yeah, yeah.
Hmm.
I know you.
Ah, I work at Oakley.
No. I
I know you.
Oh, ah, you you know what?
It's fine. Actually, um,
yeah, two rooms is is fine. So, yeah.
We'll We'll see you down at dinner.
No
Mm.
I'll sneak in after
lights out. It'll be fun.
- You'll be like my
- Your dirty little secret?
It's okay. I'll see you at dinner.
Jay, have you seen Tippy?
Mm.
You know, I think she's more
worried than she's letting on.
And I wouldn't be surprised
if that was part of their plan.
All right, Miss Marple.
You look nice.
Oh. Thanks.
Yeah. You do. Are you,
um, off out somewhere?
Ah, yes.
Just to meet a potential stockist.
Oh. Should I be there?
Oh, no, no, no.
No No point in both
of us wasting our time.
Ah!
- David, hi.
- Hi.
Um
Oh, this is, ah, Louis,
and this is Julian.
- This is
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
- David is our local GP.
He's the one doing the introductions.
- Right.
- Yeah.
Hm.
So, ah, we should probably go.
- Yeah, yeah.
- I'll I'll see you later.
Yeah. Don't worry.
I'll take care of her.
Bye.
Well he's, ah
seems nice.
Hello, little spy.
You're good at sneaking
but, ah, I am better.
I'm not a spy.
I'm your cousin apparently.
Third cousin. I called Mamanto check.
Come.
Louis said not to trust you.
- Who is Louis?
- My boss.
He sounds like a clever man.
So, how long have you
lived in Peak View?
Ah, three years, now.
Oh. So a local.
Ha. No.
I have a patient who
retired here 15 years ago,
and they still call him Weekend Johnny.
Oh.
Did you, um Did you
move here for family?
No. Job
and the lifestyle.
I used to work in,
ah, emergency medicine.
- Oh.
- City hospitals
very frenetic.
Oh. That's a big change.
Yeah. Too big, if you ask some people.
Like my ex-wife, for example.
Oh. I'm sorry to hear that.
Oh, no. It's all amicable.
She tried to matchmake me
with her hairdresser last week.
Oh. And, ah, how did that go?
Sorry?
- With With the hairdresser?
- Oh.
She lives in Auckland, and, you know
I can barely do
short-distance relationships.
Well, amen to that.
I mean, I guess
it's hard for most people to understand
that some of us are
perfectly happy being single.
Oh, yes. Ah, yes. Ha, yeah. Right.
Same Same boat.
- Yeah.
- Mm.
- Oh, um, do you mind?
- No, no, no.
No, no. You go.
Kia ora, Arapeta.
Oh, kia ora, Doc.
Kei te pehea koe?
Oh, Kei te pai.
You sound a bit worse for wear.
Oh. Had I had a bit of a fall.
It's not bad, I-I
just I can't get up.
My son will be around in a couple hours,
and I just thought if
you were close by
Oh, yeah. I'm just gonna swing by now.
Ah, only if you're not busy.
Oh, it's nothing that can't wait.
Borrowed it off Louis.
It's a bit tight. Ah.
You look incredible.
Oh.
Oh, well. That's good to see
you made a bit of an effort.
No, you Sorry.
- Take a seat.
- Yeah.
- Thanks.
- It's okay.
Ah
Mora Morag, do you think
that maybe you could, um,
just give us some more privacy?
Oh. Yes, of course.
It's open.
Kia ora.
- Hey.
- Arapeta.
Ohh.
I forgot to water the tomatoes.
I got up too fast. Stupid.
Right. Well, let's just take a look, eh?
How long ago did this happen?
About an hour, maybe two.
It's just a flare.
You know, my legs don't
do what I want them to.
All right, well, let's just
make sure that you haven't
done yourself a mischief, eh?
- All right? Okay?
- Yeah.
All right.
Oh, ah
Arapeta, koDaisy tenei.
- Daisy, Arapeta.
- Hi.
You should have said you were busy.
Hey, hey, hey. Taihoa e kokoro. Taihoa.
Ooh, you know, you make a
beautiful woman like this wait
while you help me off the floor?
That's very kind.
If you don't let me examine you,
I'm gonna keep her waiting longer.
I tell you what, why don't
I go and water the tomatoes?
You just point the way.
Just out the front there.
Thanks, mate.
Time for the wireless, I think.
On "Love Radio"
Welcome to Nights on Peak View FM
Oh. I love this show.
with your host Rowan-in-the-boat
right alongside you.
And in honor of tomorrow's
exclusive interview
with Griffin Galway, a
selection of love songs
dedicated to the one,
the only Hot Tractor Guy!
First up, "She Thinks
My Tractor's Sexy"
Okay. Um
So, Gus
You've gone viral.
Yeah. I know.
No, even after I deleted the post, it
No, yeah. I-I know.
How?
Mm, Trevor the greengrocer.
He made me sign his bananas.
Oh.
Wait Wait.
Was that why you were
being weird this morning?
And then later this morning
and then just before?
I thought it was because
you were still ashamed of us.
Gus, no, not at all. It just
This is what it's gonna be like
when we go overseas,
when we go to events.
Everyone on the planet is just
gonna fall in love with you
and you're gonna hate it.
I know.
But it's worth it, if
I get to be with you.
Morag?
Are you okay?
Sinus infection.
Do you think maybe we
should stop for the day?
Why?
We wanted to get this
finished before you go back.
You could wait for her in the house.
Julian, I'm not waiting for anybody.
Don't you care she's dating a doctor?
It's a business meeting.
Dad
- I'm sorry.
- What for?
If I hadn't called Mum,
she wouldn't have come back,
- and all this this wouldn't
- Jay, Jay, Jay.
Mum Mum coming back
gave us a chance to sort
this out properly, all right?
We We We wouldn't
have been able to do that
if it wasn't for you, all right?
What about you and Daisy?
Daisy and I have both been
through a lot recently.
We're not about to
rush into anything.
All right?
It's beautiful, eh?
Mm. Really is.
Arapeta's wife was
famous for her tomatoes.
She used to win the A&P show every year.
Oh.
She died a couple of years ago.
He really could use someone
living here with him now,
but he's too proud.
Mm.
And he believes
I should say sorry.
What for?
Avoiding our date.
Oh. Is that what this is?
Honestly, I don't know.
I'm not great at this.
Well, I'm normally amazing at it.
Are you?
Hiakai hana korua?
He's saying, "Are you hungry?" dear.
Ka haere maua.
There's a picnic hamper
behind you with some kai
and a nice wine.
And there's a ridge
with a bloody great view
of nothing at all 10 minutes that way.
Go on.
Off you pop.
Thanks, Arapeta.
- Kia ora, koro.
- Kia ora.
Kia ora, kia ora, kia ora.
What was it like, growing up in France?
In our family, ah, you do not grow up,
you are born fully formed.
I was picking at 5, tasting at 10.
You grew up without grapes.
Well, I, um
No. It was not a question.
Who taught you to make wine like this?
My father and
his father before him.
There are nine generations of
Bidois men singing in this wine.
Expecting nothing but the absolute best.
I can hear them whispering in yours.
You've tasted it?
You are raw, huh?
But with guidance
you could be brilliant.
Your guidance?
Mm.
Who says I want it?
Because I think there is no one else
in this tiny little land
who really understands.
Oh.
You're back late.
I went to see Philippe.
Great.
How was that?
He was really nice.
I bet he was.
It's cool, having family here.
Mm. I'm sure it is, Tippy.
But, um just don't forget
we're your we're your family too.
I'm I'm not going to stop seeing him.
No, no. I don't I don't mean that.
Have fun on your date.
No. Tippy, it's not a date.
Oh, for God's sake.
Oh, God.
The press release for our new vintner.
- Mysterious
- I can't wait to see the look on their faces
when they see just who we've got
planned for taking over the reins.
We need to talk about the pickers.
So I was wondering whether we could try
- and get some WWOOFERS in?
- Dogs?
Willing Workers On Organic Farms.
maybe you considered
that you may be in
- menopause
- Oh.
No. No.
We don't use the "M" word.
- I came out.
- Oh !
Gus likes his life simple.
And you've just invited
600,000 followers into it.
Ah, I've never cared about
someone like this before.
It can't have been easy, my
whole family under one roof,
given what hap well, what nearly
what nearly happened between us.
I mean, that wasn't even a thing.
- Honestly.
- No.
I really don't think that you and Mum
are happy together anymore.
Is it Daisy?
No, no. It's not Daisy.
It's me.
Two strong heartbeats.
We're having twins.
Oh! Oh!
I love grapes!
Great!
They speak to me.
Ah, the job is pretty simple.
Um, we're we're a couple
of weeks away from harvest,
and we need some extra hands.
Um, it it is quite a physical job
Okay.
Ah, I know some of the
other vineyards are
are probably paying more
Oh, no. All I need is
a hot meal and a bed.
Although I do struggle to sleep alone
Right. Well, um
Ah, we'll be in touch.
Who the bloody hell are they?
What?
School holidays are almost over.
Oh, Jay. I know.
It's gonna be, ah
difficult to go back to London.
- Oh, not for me.
- Oh?
I have to look after Mum.
Well, that's lovely, Jay.
And you have to stay here.
- I do.
- Because of the vineyard.
- Yes.
- And Daisy.
And Daisy. No, no.
Not "and Daisy."
Who the bloody hell are these people?
Good morning.
Good morning.
- What happened to the barkers?
- WWOOFERS.
And most people have already
got their work for the season.
Look, we already talked about this.
We can't wait any longer.
We have to hire as
many people as we can,
and just hope that the
bank will come to the party.
Well, what if they don't?
Well, if we don't pick enough grapes,
we can't make enough wine.
Daisy, wewill pick enough grapes.
- We don't even know how!
- Look, Tippy will teach us.
- Oh, Louis
- No. There is no other option.
Yeah. You're right, because
we've already decided.
No. What we've decided is
to make decisions together.
- Yes, but you haven't been here!
- Oh, right.
So I go away for the weekend to
spend some time with my son
Um as much as I'd love
to see Mummy and Daddy fight,
I've got workers to find.
She just wants to feel appreciated.
He just wants to be
included. Are we good?
Yep.
Look, we we didn't want to worry you
with everything that you've
got going on, you know?
- With your family
- Look, Daisy.
You're my family too.
Um, I-I mean
We all are.
family, um, of of of friends.
We're a
Oh, we're a we're a
We're a family of of friends.
This isn't going to be fun or easy.
Then why are we doing it?
You start with a wide
stance and a loose wrist.
Way ahead of you.
And then you cup the grapes gently.
Because why?
Ah, bruised fruit makes bad wine!
At least someone is listening.
- Okay, when you slice
- Hey, it's Nic!
Hi.
Hope I'm not interrupting.
- Ha.
- Well
No, no. Stay, stay.
Please, stay.
Ah, you ready to go for that walk?
- Oh, yes. About that, um
- Hey, Gus
you been straddling any
hot lumps of metal lately?
Like a tractor
You know, because of the
The hot tractor guy thing ?
I deleted that post.
Oh, yeah. But it's still online
Ah, actually, I've Um, yeah.
I forgot we've we've
got that thing we have to
- We do?
- Yeah, yeah. The thing.
- We have to go.
- What?
- Bye.
- Bye.
Gus doesn't know that the
photo is still out there.
What? He doesn't know?
But that photo has gone viral.
- Shhh.
- But, no.
I thought, ah, Griffin deleted it.
No, well. Not before it made its way
onto Twitter, Reddit, Tik Tok
Look, Gus is hotter
than Timothée Chamalet
and Benedict Cumberbatch
all, like, jammed together!
Which is actually a
whole other level of hot,
when you think about it.
Are we doing this?
Because you made quite
a big deal about it. So
Yep. We are doing it. Thanks, Tippy.
Are we sure he doesn't know that?
Oh, Gus thinks that social media
is some kind of communicable disease.
- Well, he's got a point.
- Mm.
Oh. Should I talk to him?
Ah, no. No. I wouldn't. Mnh-mnh.
Um, yeah. No, no.
We wouldn't want it
to come between them.
- No. No.
- I mean, at least someone
is having some fun around this town.
If you know what I mean. Ha.
- Yeah, yeah. I got that.
- 'Cause between you and me,
ever since my rumpus room
got turned into a kids' room,
Vic has been treating it
like a dusty old attic.
Oh. Do you know what, maybe we should
- go for that walk?
- Okay. Bye.
Right
Tippy. Where were we?
He must have missed his flight.
Well, I guess that's the thing
about award-winning French vintners.
They don't bother
themselves with minor details
like flight times or
returning phone calls
from their new employers.
No.
Though he was very specific
about the non-refundable
deposit on his contract.
He'll be here.
Isn't this nice?
Ah Yes.
It's Oh, it's so nice.
I'm sorry.
I just needed to get out of the house.
- Oh.
- Vic Vic is either
playing Bach to the babies
or he's force-feeding me lentils.
And I'm not allowed to do anything.
I'm not a complete invalid.
Whoa. Just a little bit of one.
Yeah. But he loves you.
I know. And I'm not complaining.
- Mm.
- I'm so lucky.
I I never thought
I'd be here, you know?
Mm. I know.
Did you ever want to have ?
Oh. No.
- No.
- Oh.
Oh. Maybe I'm selfish, but
I never really wanted kids, you know?
I loved my life exactly the way it was.
Is. I love my life.
Ah, sorry. I shouldn't
have brought it up.
Especially now that you're in menopause.
Oh. No, no.
It's fine.
Besides, I-I get to be
a a heart parent. Right?
Mm. Yeah. With Louis
together.
Maybe even more together
- now that he's single.
- Mm.
No. No, no.
Louis and I are just friends.
We are.
Only because he broke
up with Simone again
five seconds ago!
But once he gets over that
- No.
- Really?
Well, once upon a time, maybe,
we could have been a thing.
But
there's too much water
under the bridge and
I'm nobody's second choice.
- Yeah.
- My life is great
exactly the way it is.
Are you Are you sure
you don't want to sit down?
Oh, don't you start.
Oh, okay.
Just below the nodule,
slip the blade under,
and cut cleanly away from yourself
and that's it!
Great.
Thank you.
Yeah. Bye.
Sorry about that.
- What?
- Well, no.
I've just had a call from
the, ah, the organizers of,
ah, "Taste of the South."
Do you Do you know it?
Some fancy Queenstown festival?
Yes. Very fancy. Very prestigious.
There's a big public festival.
There's a conference for wine makers.
And And this year, to headline,
they are putting together a panel
of award-winning international vintners.
Now, Tippy, I know you
don't love public speaking,
but it could be a great
opportunity for you
to practice to really free yourself
Okay.
What?
You're right. I need the practice.
Right.
Great.
Look, ah, I think it could be,
ah, could be could be a lot of fun.
And-and-and the panel is all about,
ah, cultural approaches,
ah, to to winemaking,
and you'll be able to
talk all about your
your Maori heritage, and
and what really fires you
No.
What?
I'll talk about wine.
But not the other stuff.
- Can we get back to it?
- Ah, yeah.
Yeah. Yes, of course.
- Hi, all!
- Ah
Hope I'm not interrupting.
No, Vic.
Not at all. What can we do for you?
I need a lawyer.
Are you going to tell him, or shall I?
No. I mean a real lawyer.
Me? No, no, no. I-I've
been struck off, Vic.
- Remember?
- No, no.
No, no. I understand.
It's not that urgent.
I'm just getting sued, that's all
for two mil.
She took it hard.
Oh.
When you said we had a thing
Yeah. Oh, this is it. This is the thing.
What's so thing-y about it?
Ah, it's a date in public.
So that's a thing, isn't it?
I mean, it's a thing for me, I guess.
I had a dream about you last night.
Oh, did you just?
Yeah.
You took me to the Oscars.
Oh. Wow.
- Ha.
- Yeah.
All I remember is thousands
of cameras flashing,
and me screaming.
Oh, my God!
He said you lived here.
Can I get your autograph?
Sure. Yeah.
The old, ah, um,
ah, that's hey, um
Hey, what about a selfie instead?
Hey, Gus, can you just order something?
Just you?
Yeah. Oh, he gets a little shy.
- Oh. Okay.
- Yeah. Quick question.
Where'd you get that from?
Oh, there's a kid up
the street selling them.
30 bucks for a homegrown
Internet sensation?
Come on.
- Ah, just no.
- Fine.
- 25.
- No, no.
You You You bin these shirts.
You pull them, okay?
- I know people.
- Like who?
You gonna get Nicole
Kidman to come beat me up?
Yeah. Yeah. Maybe I will. Maybe I will.
- 200 bucks for the lot.
- 1,000.
Wait. No. I could buy
them individually for less.
- 250.
- 1,500.
This is not this
is not how you haggle!
- Who's haggling? 2,000.
- Just Okay.
Stop. Fine, fine.
Let's just you
get rid of these, okay?
Forget about Hot Tractor
Guy, and I'll, um,
I'll I'll I'll
I'll give you an interview
on your radio show.
New Zealand exclusive?
World exclusive. Just
put those in the bin.
Pleasure doing business with you.
Yeah, yeah.
I guess we should
keep going?
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
- Although
- Yeah. I I am a bit pooped.
Yeah.
- Whew.
- Actually, I'm a lot pooped.
Yeah.
- Actually I'm a bit sore.
- Yeah.
Yeah. My My legs feel
like concrete blocks.
They're sort of hot
and cold, at the same.
Nic?
Hey, hey. Are you all right?
No. No.
Oh. What? You got cramps?
Hang on. Hang on.
Oh there's no reception.
Oh! What are we gonna do?
Well, you just just wait here.
- I'll go get some help.
- No, no, no, no.
You can't leave me. Please.
Okay, well, here, sit down. Sit down.
- Oh!
- Sit down.
Put your back against the rock.
I'm here, okay?
Just take some Just
take some deep breaths.
Okay. Look, breathe in.
And out.
In, out.
What's this called?
A wine thief.
What's it called in Maori?
I don't know.
What's this in Maori?
You are Maori, though?
My dad said you were.
But "Bidois" is French, right?
Yeah. I'm Maori.
Then how come you don't
know the Maori words?
- I just don't.
- I get it.
My friend Gabriel, his
parents are from Brazil,
but he doesn't speak Spanish.
They speak Portuguese in Brazil.
Right. No. My point is
is that you don't have
to be weird about it.
I'm not weird!
Let's get some lunch.
Nic, I need to see if you
can stand for me, okay?
I don't think I can.
We're going to walk down the road.
- No. I can't.
- Yes, you can. I promise.
Oh.
Doctor David!
Ah
She, ah, she just doubled over in pain.
Deep breathing, all right?
There's no need to panic just yet.
Let's have a look.
Okay.
Do you know if you've got any spotting?
- I haven't been.
- You haven't?
- No.
- Okay. That's good.
Right.
You're doing well. You're doing okay.
- So I'm gonna go get my truck
- Mm.
come back, and we'll
take you to the surgery.
- Okay.
- All right?
- Yep.
- Good.
You look like a calming influence.
I'm gonna be back in a minute.
You've got this.
Vic, you're going to be fine.
It was an accident.
How was I supposed to know
there was already a wine
called "Love Goats,"
owned by a very large,
very litigious
international corporation?
Ooh. I could have Googled it.
Ah, yes. Possibly, possibly you could.
But, you know, as long as you
agree to rename the wine
I only called it that
in honor of Nic's amazing creations.
Oooh. Maybe I could rename it The Twins?
Well, we'll come
we'll come back to that.
The thing is, we're here today
to get you out of this, right?
As long as you stick to the plan.
I just don't understand why
I can't talk to them nicely.
Because Vic, in this
world, nice equals weak,
and these people prey on the weak.
I should know, I used to
I used to be one of them.
Look, if I could lead
the meeting, I would.
- But
- practicing law,
once been disbarred for
walking naked through London,
is a criminal offense?
Well, that's not actually
why I was, ah, disbarred, Vic.
And I was I was
I was actually running.
But, no. That's good, that's good.
You're sounding like a a real lawyer.
- Ah.
- Hi.
Hi.
Gidday!
No, Vic. We're going that way.
Ah, yep.
- Ready?
- Yep.
So that's two sets
of healthy heartbeats.
Then what's wrong?
Maybe we could talk in private.
Anything you can say to me,
you can say in front of Daisy.
Okay. Ah, could you bring your knees
to your chest for me, please?
Mm.
Yep. Now give yourself a nice tight hug.
Mm
Ah, why am I
Oh.
Oh
lentils
Look, I am gonna need to change GPs.
Oh
Or towns.
I hear Iceland is
nice this time of year.
- He didn't mind.
- He was being polite.
Well, I'm just glad it
wasn't anything serious.
I think I'm more worried about
this than I thought I was.
That's what you've got us for.
- Mm.
- Ladies?
You forgot this.
Thanks.
Yeah. Um, I never had a chance
to properly introduce myself.
- I'm David.
- Oh. Daisy.
Oh, you're Stanley's daughter.
Oh. Step-daughter, yep.
Oh, right. Well, he was a lovely guy.
Terrible wine.
Well, we're working on that.
Yeah. So I hear.
Ah, so, actually,
I'm gonna meet of mine tonight
who owns a couple of
bars in Queenstown and
I don't know if you
need a stockist or
- Always.
- Oh, really?
- Mm.
- Oh, great.
So if you're not doing
anything, you should come.
- Oh, okay.
- Great.
- Great.
- Ah, Nic has got my number.
- Yes.
- Okay, good.
Yeah, ah that's great.
Oh, it's just a business thing.
Oh.
My client wishes to
inform your client that
he is willing in this instance to,
ah, relinquish all
control of said property,
and re-label his wine at his own cost,
as full and final
settlement of this matter.
Your client?
Well, me.
My client has wasted
considerable time and energy
on this case.
How would your client address that?
I could buy him a beer.
- Let's talk damages.
- Ooh, ah
the thing is, I don't
really have any money.
Oh, actually. No, I do.
I've got about 20K
saved away at the moment.
- But
- Ah, Vic, I
That's actually for the baby.
You see, Nic's parents gave us 10K,
but that's not nearly
enough to look after twins.
That's no, no, no, no.
That's That's great.
Great, thanks. We've, ah No, we've
We've tried it your way. Right.
First things first. Now,
as you operate on retainer,
this meeting isn't
costing your client a cent.
And as your job is to
take away headaches,
rather than to cause
them, I'm willing to bet
that you haven't even told
your client this case exists.
So, ah, we've got two options.
Either you can, ah,
settle things here and now,
leaving your client
in blissful ignorance,
or you can spend months in litigation
fighting for about the
same amount of money
that your client would normally
spend on lunch in Aspen,
whilst we make sure the combined weight
of the New Zealand media
unites against you
because let's face it,
there's nothing this country
loves more than an underdog.
And I'm sure it'll do
wonders for your sales.
Our offer expires, ah,
when we leave the room.
Right then.
Wait.
They've rescheduled
the agricultural show.
Ooh. I must tell Wanda.
Right.
Where are you going?
To get our old vintner back.
Philippe will be here.
That may be so.
But if he's this unreliable
There's plenty of good
winemakers in the
Don, it it has to be him.
Just because Oakley has Tippy,
doesn't mean that we need
What's that?
Don.
Look.
Is that smoke?
It's smoke!
What is a yurt doing in my vineyard?
Philippe?
I am come.
- Oh!
- You come late.
I was early. I have
been, ah, evaluating.
And how did we do?
Your wine is a song.
Oh. Thank you.
But this wine
is a symphony.
You did not tell me you were losers.
- We're not.
- Oh, no.
Think of us, um, an orchestra
in need of a conductor.
Welcome to Shimmering
Lake, Philippe Bidois.
You know staring is rude.
You started it.
Are most people a bit scared of you?
- I hope so.
- Huh.
Why? Aren't you?
Guess I'm used to it.
When my dad was a lawyer, my
mum was angry all the time.
I'm not angry all the time.
Neither was Mum.
She was actually just lonely.
I'm sorry I upset you
before.
My mother is Maori.
She wasn't close with her family, so
neither am I.
- Mm.
- That's why I can't speak it.
What about your dad's family?
I don't know.
France
somewhere.
That's where I got the name Bidois.
So my grandfather moved from there
to the North Island, met my grandmother.
And he died when I was 14.
Is that where your family lives?
You ask a lot of questions.
I know.
They moved to the Gold
Coast when I was 16, and
I didn't really want to go.
Mm.
And none of that is
anyone's business but mine,
so don't go spreading it. Okay?
Ah, I still don't get why
they needed to take a selfie
so far away from the table?
Yeah. Fans.
Oh, okay. Thank God. So
Ah. No, no. Wait. Me first.
Me first.
Is that a date?
Who's David?
"I'll pick you up at
7:00" is a date, right?
Especially if we're going to a bar
even though it is to meet a stockist,
and he did say that Nic is welcome too.
It's a date, though, right?
- What?
- Do you want it to be a date?
No. No, no. I Well, yeah, ah, no.
I just need to know whether
he thinks it is, that's all.
- Oh.
- Oh, you're you're no help.
Give it back.
What's your thing?
Okay, so Rowan I shut it down, but
look.
Oh. Oh.
- I know.
- Oh. Well
he's gonna find out eventually.
You can't control that.
What you can control, though,
is how you deal with it.
And that will make all the
difference to how he reacts.
So what are you going to do?
So, I'll just I
guess I'll have to, um
Yeah. I'll just have
to shower him with gifts
so he falls madly in love with me,
so by the time he finds out,
then he's in too deep to dump me.
Oh, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no.
That's the opposite
of what I was saying.
- No. Oh, Griff
- Love you, Daisy.
Oh, hey. Um, that one
not that one.
Oh.
It's a date, though, right?
Mate.
- I owe you.
- Oh.
- Come on.
- Ooh. Seatbelt.
You don't owe me.
It was actually pretty fun.
Mm.
Do you miss it?
Um
Do you know what?
I don't.
I don't.
Hi.
Hi.
Sorry I, ah, missed your call.
Oh. No.
It turns out it was a very
windy storm in a teacup.
Ah, Daisy. About this morning
Mm-hmm. What about it?
Well, ah, look.
I know it's, ah
things have been messy.
Mm. Yes.
Well, show me a middle-aged man
who doesn't come with baggage.
Ah, says the women with
four sets of luggage?
Um, it's one set of four sizes.
And I'd like to see you pack a
weekender into an overnighter.
No, what I said this
morning about, um
well, about family.
Um, well, I-I meant it.
Oh.
And, um
Oh, ah.
Just a sec.
- It's Vic.
- Oh. It's Nic.
- Hi. Everything all right?
- Hi, Vic.
- Ah, no. I haven't read it.
- No. It's not something I read.
- Who?
- Who?
Bidois.
- As in
- Yeah. I get it.
- Do you know him?
- Didn't even know
- he existed.
- Oh.
Maybe he just has the same name as me?
Tippy, another winemaker named Bidois?
Not that we want you to worry.
Why would I worry?
Well, some of us don't
think there's any reason to.
And some of us think this is a strategy.
What kind of strategy?
Well, I haven't figured that out yet.
Look, there's no mystery here.
Marissa wanted a Bidois.
She couldn't get the best,
so she settled for a French knock-off.
Well, oh, okay. So he's not a knock-off.
Apparently he's the youngest
ever vintner to win gold
at the Paris Wine Cup.
And how do you feel about that?
I feel nothing.
See? She's fine.
She's fine.
Okay, so I know you
think you know everywhere
in Peak View, Gussy.
But I'm pretty sure you
don't know this place.
- Is it "Thistle Do?"
- Oh, damn it.
You do know it.
I've never been here, though.
Ta-da!
- It's lovely.
- Mm
Hey. You're lovely.
Apparently, the woman
who runs it is awesome.
Dinner is 7:30.
Not 7:25, not 7:40.
We're having steak.
The vegetarian option is steak.
And tonight is comedy night.
We'll be playing the box
set of "Fawlty Towers"
in the parlor.
Here are your rooms.
Oh. We only booked one room.
We don't have rooms
with twin beds in them.
Well, we don't need twin beds.
But there's two of you.
Ah, yeah, yeah.
Hmm.
I know you.
Ah, I work at Oakley.
No. I
I know you.
Oh, ah, you you know what?
It's fine. Actually, um,
yeah, two rooms is is fine. So, yeah.
We'll We'll see you down at dinner.
No
Mm.
I'll sneak in after
lights out. It'll be fun.
- You'll be like my
- Your dirty little secret?
It's okay. I'll see you at dinner.
Jay, have you seen Tippy?
Mm.
You know, I think she's more
worried than she's letting on.
And I wouldn't be surprised
if that was part of their plan.
All right, Miss Marple.
You look nice.
Oh. Thanks.
Yeah. You do. Are you,
um, off out somewhere?
Ah, yes.
Just to meet a potential stockist.
Oh. Should I be there?
Oh, no, no, no.
No No point in both
of us wasting our time.
Ah!
- David, hi.
- Hi.
Um
Oh, this is, ah, Louis,
and this is Julian.
- This is
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
- David is our local GP.
He's the one doing the introductions.
- Right.
- Yeah.
Hm.
So, ah, we should probably go.
- Yeah, yeah.
- I'll I'll see you later.
Yeah. Don't worry.
I'll take care of her.
Bye.
Well he's, ah
seems nice.
Hello, little spy.
You're good at sneaking
but, ah, I am better.
I'm not a spy.
I'm your cousin apparently.
Third cousin. I called Mamanto check.
Come.
Louis said not to trust you.
- Who is Louis?
- My boss.
He sounds like a clever man.
So, how long have you
lived in Peak View?
Ah, three years, now.
Oh. So a local.
Ha. No.
I have a patient who
retired here 15 years ago,
and they still call him Weekend Johnny.
Oh.
Did you, um Did you
move here for family?
No. Job
and the lifestyle.
I used to work in,
ah, emergency medicine.
- Oh.
- City hospitals
very frenetic.
Oh. That's a big change.
Yeah. Too big, if you ask some people.
Like my ex-wife, for example.
Oh. I'm sorry to hear that.
Oh, no. It's all amicable.
She tried to matchmake me
with her hairdresser last week.
Oh. And, ah, how did that go?
Sorry?
- With With the hairdresser?
- Oh.
She lives in Auckland, and, you know
I can barely do
short-distance relationships.
Well, amen to that.
I mean, I guess
it's hard for most people to understand
that some of us are
perfectly happy being single.
Oh, yes. Ah, yes. Ha, yeah. Right.
Same Same boat.
- Yeah.
- Mm.
- Oh, um, do you mind?
- No, no, no.
No, no. You go.
Kia ora, Arapeta.
Oh, kia ora, Doc.
Kei te pehea koe?
Oh, Kei te pai.
You sound a bit worse for wear.
Oh. Had I had a bit of a fall.
It's not bad, I-I
just I can't get up.
My son will be around in a couple hours,
and I just thought if
you were close by
Oh, yeah. I'm just gonna swing by now.
Ah, only if you're not busy.
Oh, it's nothing that can't wait.
Borrowed it off Louis.
It's a bit tight. Ah.
You look incredible.
Oh.
Oh, well. That's good to see
you made a bit of an effort.
No, you Sorry.
- Take a seat.
- Yeah.
- Thanks.
- It's okay.
Ah
Mora Morag, do you think
that maybe you could, um,
just give us some more privacy?
Oh. Yes, of course.
It's open.
Kia ora.
- Hey.
- Arapeta.
Ohh.
I forgot to water the tomatoes.
I got up too fast. Stupid.
Right. Well, let's just take a look, eh?
How long ago did this happen?
About an hour, maybe two.
It's just a flare.
You know, my legs don't
do what I want them to.
All right, well, let's just
make sure that you haven't
done yourself a mischief, eh?
- All right? Okay?
- Yeah.
All right.
Oh, ah
Arapeta, koDaisy tenei.
- Daisy, Arapeta.
- Hi.
You should have said you were busy.
Hey, hey, hey. Taihoa e kokoro. Taihoa.
Ooh, you know, you make a
beautiful woman like this wait
while you help me off the floor?
That's very kind.
If you don't let me examine you,
I'm gonna keep her waiting longer.
I tell you what, why don't
I go and water the tomatoes?
You just point the way.
Just out the front there.
Thanks, mate.
Time for the wireless, I think.
On "Love Radio"
Welcome to Nights on Peak View FM
Oh. I love this show.
with your host Rowan-in-the-boat
right alongside you.
And in honor of tomorrow's
exclusive interview
with Griffin Galway, a
selection of love songs
dedicated to the one,
the only Hot Tractor Guy!
First up, "She Thinks
My Tractor's Sexy"
Okay. Um
So, Gus
You've gone viral.
Yeah. I know.
No, even after I deleted the post, it
No, yeah. I-I know.
How?
Mm, Trevor the greengrocer.
He made me sign his bananas.
Oh.
Wait Wait.
Was that why you were
being weird this morning?
And then later this morning
and then just before?
I thought it was because
you were still ashamed of us.
Gus, no, not at all. It just
This is what it's gonna be like
when we go overseas,
when we go to events.
Everyone on the planet is just
gonna fall in love with you
and you're gonna hate it.
I know.
But it's worth it, if
I get to be with you.
Morag?
Are you okay?
Sinus infection.
Do you think maybe we
should stop for the day?
Why?
We wanted to get this
finished before you go back.
You could wait for her in the house.
Julian, I'm not waiting for anybody.
Don't you care she's dating a doctor?
It's a business meeting.
Dad
- I'm sorry.
- What for?
If I hadn't called Mum,
she wouldn't have come back,
- and all this this wouldn't
- Jay, Jay, Jay.
Mum Mum coming back
gave us a chance to sort
this out properly, all right?
We We We wouldn't
have been able to do that
if it wasn't for you, all right?
What about you and Daisy?
Daisy and I have both been
through a lot recently.
We're not about to
rush into anything.
All right?
It's beautiful, eh?
Mm. Really is.
Arapeta's wife was
famous for her tomatoes.
She used to win the A&P show every year.
Oh.
She died a couple of years ago.
He really could use someone
living here with him now,
but he's too proud.
Mm.
And he believes
I should say sorry.
What for?
Avoiding our date.
Oh. Is that what this is?
Honestly, I don't know.
I'm not great at this.
Well, I'm normally amazing at it.
Are you?
Hiakai hana korua?
He's saying, "Are you hungry?" dear.
Ka haere maua.
There's a picnic hamper
behind you with some kai
and a nice wine.
And there's a ridge
with a bloody great view
of nothing at all 10 minutes that way.
Go on.
Off you pop.
Thanks, Arapeta.
- Kia ora, koro.
- Kia ora.
Kia ora, kia ora, kia ora.
What was it like, growing up in France?
In our family, ah, you do not grow up,
you are born fully formed.
I was picking at 5, tasting at 10.
You grew up without grapes.
Well, I, um
No. It was not a question.
Who taught you to make wine like this?
My father and
his father before him.
There are nine generations of
Bidois men singing in this wine.
Expecting nothing but the absolute best.
I can hear them whispering in yours.
You've tasted it?
You are raw, huh?
But with guidance
you could be brilliant.
Your guidance?
Mm.
Who says I want it?
Because I think there is no one else
in this tiny little land
who really understands.
Oh.
You're back late.
I went to see Philippe.
Great.
How was that?
He was really nice.
I bet he was.
It's cool, having family here.
Mm. I'm sure it is, Tippy.
But, um just don't forget
we're your we're your family too.
I'm I'm not going to stop seeing him.
No, no. I don't I don't mean that.
Have fun on your date.
No. Tippy, it's not a date.
Oh, for God's sake.
Oh, God.
